If ALL DEPENDS
How the Newspaper is Criticised by
Certain PeoDIe.

Every week the newspaper pub.
Usher is called upon to judge what
is best to publish and what must be
kept out of the paper. Mr.. Jones
has little sensation in his family
and rushes to the editor to have the
item squelched. Mr.. Smith calls
and says the editor is coward if he
don't let the public know about the
Jones sensation.
Next week Smith has an unfortu-
nate occurrence in his family and
rushes to the printer to have the
matter kept from the public. Then
comes in Mrs. Brown to tell the edi-
tor what she will think about the pa
per unless the Smith family get an
airing.
The next week Mrs. Browns
daughter and sister in-law tells all
over town OF something sensational
that is going to happen in her family
but Mrs. Brown torgets to stop the
editor from publishing the news
which her family have circulated.
Then she is mad and her family are
very much surprised that the news,
paper should publish anything they
have said.
Newspaper men always admit that
theIe Is much that should not be
published, and every newspaper
worker is the guardian of many Sc
crets that would work incalcuable
mischief if printed. But there are
people who seem to expect that they
can communicate information re-
garding their own affairs to all their
friends, who are not blamed for
spreading such information, and yet
they expect the newspaper to refrain
from exercising the same privilege
with its types which others are exer-
cising by word OF mouth. Brook

GOOD WORK OF THE PRESS.

The Sunday star suggests that the
sudden revolution IN the Water Com
mission is due I'm large measure to
the course three OF our newspapers
have taken; itself. The Evening Jour
nal and the Morning News. 1t is
proper that attention should be called
10 this. There was absolutely no poll
tics m their position Under the law
there must still be one Republican on
the board. Two Of these journals are
Republican and the other independent
with Democratic leanings. Yet they
considered it their duty from day ia
day 10 keep the people informed and
TO Interpret the acts OF our officials.
Mayor Bird did his duty like an
honest and courageous man when the
time came, yet without tho preparation
OF the way by the press IL is doubtful
whether he would have assumed the
responsibility. We do not Withhold a
particle or credit from him. but an
official must have behind him cer-
tain amount OF support. and that comes
from the people being kept Informed
by the press.
So the newspapers may be pardoned
il they congratulate themselves on SO
signal a victory--a victory for the
people. For they know how prone the
public is TO oriticise their utterances. tc
accuse them OF every motive that i,
iiscreditable and TO declare that theh
chief idea is TO print good story. OF
course they survive these ISLANDERS
and continue in the consciousness thai
II the people were always as eager t,
be right as is the press. half Of the re.
forms the world is demanding woul,
be accomplished.

THERE'S LIGHT AHEAD.

While fraud. corruption and official |
are TO be dreaded in
any community. there Is no Gauss for
alarm as long as there Is spirlA oap-
a5Ie ~ srneang an e0Hective protest
Physicians tell usAhat tho microbes Of
disease are constantly being taken into
the system but usuelly they prove
harmless because OF the health OF the
body and it's power OF resistance. II is
just 30 with the body polite.
A few years ago there was more
than susplcion that our Levy Court
was corrupt tainted and unworthy Of
confidence. Along with the mlsman-
agement Of our county affairs grew up
an insolence which assumed that the
people were Indifferent or powerless
Yet they became suddenly aroused, so
many overt acts stunned their con-
sciences and touched their judgments
through their pockotbooks. and there
came a reform in which some were
severely punished. Since that time the
Levy Court has conducted its affairs in
q manner to win the full confidence Of
our people. and there is no indication
OF relapse.
About two years ago the street and
Sewer Department came under sus-
picion. For time the people had paid
very little attention to the affairs OF
that department Apparently the COM
mlssioners were warranted IN the belief
that there was no corrective force IN
the community which they should fear
But suddenly the citizens were aroused
pressure was applied, and two OF Nas
three directors sent in their resigna-
tions. The new commission Is vast
improvement over the old and It's acts
occasion very little unfavorable com.
ment
During a long period our Water
Commission had been one department
Of our government TO which we pointed
with pride. Its members were men OF
standing IN the community, most OF
them possessed more than averag,
business sense. and usually the board
contained at least one member VIII,
possessed technical skill that was in
valuable.
Then politics entered into the mat.
ter and two members were appointed
although neither possessed the proper
qualifications. One was named by
Democratic mayor and the other by
Republican mayor. Both appointment
were political Then began a new era
The first important act was to ente
into one OF the most remarkable con
tracts ever given a concern by a de
partment Of municipal government
At first the people seemed Indifferent
but the newspapers explained the par
ticulars Of the transaction from da
TO day tin the full enol lity becani
known. But the commissioners wer
right on with a sneer for public or Il
cism. and when one contract becan
virtually dead they entered into an
other. Then there happened to be
Office 4 mayor who had the courage {
DO his duty and two Of the commits
sicners We're asked TO resign. one con
plying with the request and the oth'
being removed.
II has developed that nine out
every ten Iaen are behind the mayo
which means that no further shad

transactions VIII be tolerated IN the
Water Department. Commissioner
Ford win doubtless name as his col
leagues two competent men. and we
say right here that the people are not
going to accept any other kind; and
we don't believe the mayor is in a
humor TO do so either. So there is
every reason for the relief that we
shall have an honest and capable
Water Department.
The ability to institute these reforms
is complimentary TO our city and ooun-
ty. and ct indicates what might be done
were our people ever alert and aroused.
The corrective force is shown to be
stronger than the disease germs. and
that is a cause for congratulation.
In the State at large there is a great
er fight, and there Is more at stake
The Republican party has an element
in It which under the lavish expendi-
ture OF money has grown in numbcbs
and insolence. There IS a faction in
the Democratic party of the same ma
ture; It uses the same methods as fan
as it can and Il would give us the sam,
results had It the power
The problem confronting us is tc
arouse and quicken the public CON
science 30 that this element. no matter
in which party, shall be held I'm sub
lection. When we consider what tn,
decent people in both parties ir thi
state have had to fight. they must b.
given credit for a noble resistance. Th
only credit that Delaware has receive

citizens. Some day when the struggi
is overland that day is near at hand

The Worlds Population.
From the New York sun.

From the New York sun.
The estimated population OF the
world in 1908 is l.547.423. 600. which is
an increase of S9.5O5,OO over the esti-
mates for 1897, or an average increase
of 6,5S4,l66 a year. At this rate the
worlds average growth of population
amounts in less than eleven years to
the number of persons now living in
the United states. In the merely busi-
ness aspects OF this rapid growth IL is
easy to see that the large increase I'm
the number of human beings has been
a very important element In raising
the value OF the International ex-
changes OF commodities in the past
forty years.

The smooth now Of the language does
not conceal the underlying nastiness
OF the utterance. 1t is suficient to
say were the object of that attack liv-
ing the editor of the Sentinel would
never have dared 10 make the above
statement to his face.
The nearest approach to it was al
the last national convention where.
when the editor Of the Sentinel.
flushed with the glory of making
speech before the National COM
mittee. came out into the ante
room and began TRADE against
Mr.. Willis. Strangers from many
States passing up and down stopped to
listen to the TRADE. wondering what it
was all about. Mr.. willis was in an
other part Of the hall but when his
attention was called to the frothing
orator at the other end OF the room. and
to his remarks. he strobe over. elbowed
his way through the crowd till he
stood face TO face with the speaker
and demanded to know whether he had
made certain remarks that had been
reported to him. Then II was that the
blatant orator dropped his eyes, his
voice died into quaver. and he skunk
away like a whipped cur without max
ing a reply.
We happen TO know the circum-
stances which led Mr.. Willis to repud-
iato a political afliation that had
grown intolerable, and we happen to
know that he never expressed regret
for his course at that time. 1t was
the day the Legislature adjourned, after
three Democrats had voted for John
Edward Addicks. and the election OF
that man by Democratic votes had
been prevented by scotching the snake
of conspiracy. Mr.. Willis came home
from Dover that night with his future
course mapped out, and he never
wavered from that course afterwards
Fortunately the venemous pen that
would pursue him now is harmless tC
DO him wrong.

ACCIDENTS.

The New Castle News continues it's
good work Of advertising our enter
prislng nelghbor on the south. II
thinks that Wilmington is an accident.
and that hor existence is due to the
fact that years ago somebody happened
to build a shipyard on the insignificant
Christiana creek" and that TO build
vessels of large tonnage we were OBJ
liged TO ask the government 10 dredge
the creek into a river"
It is good for US to know these facts
as they viii keep down any false pride;
and we rejoice in the further state
ment OF the News. Jealousy is far
from our thoughts. and It has not been
our policy to crow over Wilmington" j"
That's the proper spirit. We need en-
co'uragement and the fact that we are
an accident should not be made too
prominent.
But so was New Castle an accident
Had Columbus found India instead OF
America. New Amstel would never
have been founded. OF course with
America discovered. the founding of
New Castle followed as matter Of
course, Accidents have been respon-
sible for much Of the progress OF the
world. Sir Isaac Newton discovered
the law Of gravitatlon by accident and
the editor of the News discovered New
Castle by an accident; ana from that
discovery dates New Castles progress.
He is too modest to own 1t. but we in
sist that without this accident grass
would yet be growing in the streets in
front of the old jali and the shipping

We insist that the editor Of the sun

over Democratic articles.
