CLOSE THE SPRING.

Surely, surely, surely, prevention Is
better than curel AS the Evening Jour
nal has heretofore suggested, it seems
that there is only one course Of inn
mediate action before the Board Of
Health--to close the spring at Fourth
and Franklin streets; at least until ex-
pert examinations have demonstrated
that its waters are not contaminated.
Not only the spring. but every source
Of water supply should be thoroughly
tested It would cost something, Of
course. to make these examinations;
but they should be made, and by the
best institutions in the country. These
are found in New York and in Balti-
more, where the first abilities in the
United States are employed for the
work and where the most complete fa-
cilities in the world are available for
the eminent scientists who make the

There is not a man or woman In Will

Will BRING BUSINESS HERE.

Wilmington business men are becom-
ing interested i'm the building of the
electric railway to connect Brandywine
Springs line with Unionville and ether
places in Pennsylvania. They think
the arrangements would bring many
people to Wilmington from that ex-
ceptionally good agricultural district
of upper New Castle county and in
Chester county. These people now go
TO Philadelphia, but with the facilities
for hauling both passengers and freight
it Is claimed Wilmington would re-
ceive the benefit should the line be

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Governor Stone has done a most conf
mendable thing in reappointing Dr. j:
r. Rothrock state commissioner OF
forestry. We do not think that there Is
anv man in the state so well equipped
TO render efficient service in that po-
sition. on.-Philadelphia Record
II As we'll known that Mclean made
his money IN big corporations. HIS Sc
lection as chairman of the Democratic
National Campaign Committee on
WAYS and Means is the first step taken
in the party's great campaign against
trusts.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
IL is not likely that the idea OF
wrealxing an illogical but condign ven
geance upon France by trying to In
jure the Paris Exposition will com
mend itself 10 the sober judgment OF
many Americans after the first wave
of indignation at the Dreyfus verdict
has subsidized. The proposition to with
hold patronage from a great enterprise
as means OF retribution Is devoid OF
dignity and wrong In principle.-Chi-
cago Record.
We fear that when the president APP
pointed Ellis H. Roberts treasurer OF
the United States ne did so upon mis-
information and Misrepresentation
There can be no doubt now, however
that Roberts is unfit TO remain in that
Office another day.-New York Sun.
The anti-Goebel organs and speakers
display great activity in discussing
everything except in the issue Of the
campaign. They are dumb as TO the
part the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road is playing. This Is very poor pol
icy. but It Is the best that Is left to the
supporters Of Brown.--Louisyille Cour-

MAKE IT TwENTY-FrvE GENTS

MAKE IT TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
The price that the management shall
charge for admission to the National
Export Exposition at Philadelphia Is
not, strictly. wholly the affair of Phil
adelphia and the exposition managers
II 1t is to be of use that use depends
largely upon the interest that the peo-
pie at large take in the matter of
American production for foreign con
sumers II that is so, it Is a fact that
would be affected benenclally or ad-
versely by a large or a diminished at
tendance; and that a twenty-five cents
admission fee would considerably in
crease the number OF visitors is not
open to question. The lower the price.
the greater the number who can af-
ford to pay IL. In matters OF this kind
the intelligent approval Of the populace
is as essential as is the monetary in
terests Of capital, and it is wise to en-
able the poor to inform themselves.
The Philadelphia Press says: "The
management OF the Export Exposition
claims to be making money at the fifty
cent rate of admission. and at least
some Of its members appear to think
that this is all that is necessary in
that enterprise. It is not. That ex-
hibition is intended not merely as :
temporary money making enterprise
like a society fair, but as a means OF
teaching the people, both at home ant
abroad, the vast resources Of Ameri
can producers. Its highest success liei
in teaching this truth to the creates
number of people, and the best way I,
induce them to come and be taught &
to place the price Of admission within
their reach"

WILL NOT TEAR UP TRACKS
AS LEGAL NOTICE WAS NOT
GIVEN TO JOHN d. HAWKINS.

Dover, Del, Oct attorney John
d. Hawkins will not be Obliged to tear
up the tracks which the Delaware Elec-
trio Railway Company, which he repre-
sents, has laid in this state, as recently
ordered by the Levy Court.
AS the meeting of the Kent court
was called into question because Presi-
dent Truax had not given the legal ten
days notice, the court intended to con-
firm its action at the regular meeting
yesterday, but allowed the matter to go
by unnoticed, therefore making its ac-
tion of a fortnight ago of no effect. The
next fight between the rival trolley
companies will probably be before the
Kent county Superior Court a fort
night hence, when the attorneys general
will raise his quo warrantO proceedings
in the Kent court to nullify the old
company's charter.
