THOSE ELUSIVE PLANS

The discussion over the Seventh
street bridge continues, and the public
Is still waiting for light, but 30 far,
have waited In vain. II is remark
able state of affairs that body Civ
ing contract for a piece of work. un-
der plans and specifications, has no
written record OF the requirements. II
is remarkable, too, that the contractor
is unable to produce the plans with the
requirements under which he is work
ing
The Levy Court has but one course
open; it can refuse to pay the bill till
IL is made clear that every detail of
the contract under the original plan
has been followed to completion. ANY
other course Will subject 1t TO a storm
Of protest, probably accompanied by
legal action looking to its restraint.
We presume that when any contractor
becomes sufficiently eager for his pay,
he will be able to give some details re-
garding the requirements OF his obll-
CATION.
There IS another thing perfectly OBJ
vious; the Levy Court should keep in
its possession either the original. or a
copy of every contract OF any nature. 1t
is strange indeed, that legislative
body should be without an official rec
ord cf AL of its acts. Was the bridge

the matter to be left to the discretion
Of the contractor? No one seems to-
know, but the public will insist on
knowing before their money is paid
out.

ments 10 Office coming from Senators
coming from no matter what source
President Roosevelt will be guided by
one fixed principle, to whoch he has
made it known that he will adhere. The
men they recommend must be fit men and
worthy Of appointment or they will not
get the Offices they seek.
This rule Is Of the very essence Of sim
plicity. The plainest Senatorial mind
will understand it at a glance. Why,
then, should any Republican Senator
have trouble or Misunderstanding with
the President? They will go to the
White House on ofiice-seeking errands, Of
course just as they always have done.
But they know in advance that it will be
futile 20 recommend the appointment of
men without brains or character. They
know that fit names will have candid
consideration.
All Senators who respect themselves
will respect the Presidents principle of
fitness. 1t is an admirable plan. 1t will
save a world of trouble, disappointment.
and hard feeling. The standard not only
OF appointment. but OF recommendation.
will be raised. The influence upon the
public morality Of United States senators
viii be salutary and edifying. We hope
we shall not again see both Senators
from a great State unite in demanding
an appointment to the bench which the
bar and the press and the public protest
against as not worthy TO be maze.

President Mckinley uttered sentiments
which will live IN the hearts of the people
and have a salutary effect upon our ma

The following are among the golden
words he then uttered that are worthy

monument and To have "a still more inn

science Of the country:
Let us ever remember that our in

nm PRoPosED MONUMENT

The time has come when some de
cided action should be taken in the
Mckinley monument matter, or i
st,uid be dropped. AT the death OF the
President There was a general express
sion OF opinion that Il would be a
graceful act Tor the citizens of WI
mmgton TO erect some suitable memor-
ial to the great man We loved and
honored. sf
To tost the extent Of this sentiment
tlre Evening Journal offered to print
the names OF all contributors, and the
Morning News did likewise. There
have been various objections urged
most OF which we think are without
merit Ii has been said that Delaware
has had illustrious sons, who are not
remembered with either a shaft or a
tablet. We answer that while our negli-
gence is TO be deplored, yet the stu
alton will in nowise be improved by
failing TO erect a monument to the late
President Mckinley II it were a ques-
ticn between memorial to one or the
other then there might be a choice as
to which should take precedence, but
there is no question.
This is the psychological moment TO
build a monument to Mckinley; II II
is not to be erected now. it never will
be- Therefore, It seems TO us TO be a
proper time TO ascertain whether the
public sentiment warrants pushing the
plan. Neither the Evening journal
nor the Morning News has taken the
stand OF advocacy but both have ex-
pressed the thought that such a me-
mortal would be appropriate. and hav
endeavored TO give the public senti-
ment adequate expression.
The objection has been urged that
we have enc monument that is some
ching Of a monstrosity, but that is
aside from the question. II is hardly
probable that competent body OF citi-
zens would porpetrate another mon
strosity upon the people Besides, arr
in such lines has advanced greatly in
the last twenty years.
We have beon informed that the
Mayor Will call meeting soon TO as
certain the sentiment more fully, and
to name some responsible committee
This. we think. is the proper course
and It should be done soon. We nave
performed the service we originally in
tended. and unless there is some ef-
fort to carry il to a successful issue
We shall close the matter as far as oui
columns are concerned. There has been
sum aggregatIng nearly $1,000 sub
scribed, and this is sufficient TO show
the perfect feasibility Of the plan.
