Mo Demand for Honest Opinions.

circumstances of the day or hour.
To the public, drawn into the vortex
by the general excitement, there is
little to be said. Opportunities for
large profits from small investments
appeal too strongly to the speculative
bent of the American mind to fall to
attract, and many will venture.
When once the public enters a specu-
lative market, sentiment works into
predominance-and no one can gage
sentiment. 1t IS well to remember
that, as opportunity for quick action
increases, risk increases in CORE
spending ratio; that whatever goes
too high comes down again, and that,
however high wheat is finally to go,
it cannot advance always"

GET READY FOR THE FAIR.
It is Your Fair. Your County, And Your
Interest to Make The Fair A Success.

The secretary of the fair associa
ton has sent out over 1000 cata
logues to farmers in this county. It is
hoped that the effort of time and the
expense of postage will be duly
appreciated by the famers, and that
they will put their shoulder to the
wheel and do all they can to make
the coming fair a successful one.
This fair is for the benfit of the
agricultural classes, the opinion OF
some people to the contrary notwith-
standing, and the way to make it SC
more and more, is for the farmers and
stockmen to take hold aid push it.
There is no one making any money
out of the association in direct way.
but all are indirectly, and we should
not hesitate to push. If the agricul-
tural classes lay back and do nothing,
and the other people push, there can
be but one result. To make it re-
sultapt in good for all, every one
must help, and bring in their stuff.
What good does it do you to say, 81
have better stock at home than they
have here" If you have, sight the
rest of the world, and exhibit. 1t cost
you nothing in the way of fees except
for stall rent. And in this connection
will say that there is no entrance fee
charged for anything, except racing.
Bring your stuff along, and let the
rest of the world see it.

From a Wheat Expert.

The Minneapolis Journal which is
in close touch with the wheat region
of the great northwest, discusses the
crop situation and its relation to
prices as follows: "That the crop
has been very Seriously damaged does
mot permit of doubt; hence, in that
sense, this is legitimate market as
distinguished from manipulation or
attempt at a corner How great the
loss in quality and in quantity is be-
yond the power of any one to approx
mate, Time will bring out the supply
situation more clearly, and such final
adjustment as may be found warrant

Additional complaints OF the con-
dition OF yards and alleys of several

lay pipes in the streets named.
A complaint against NJ. ]. Gallagher.

We are informed that II is impossible.
owing to the construction Of most Of
these motor cars. to drive them at a
speed of less than ten miles an hour.
But il that is true. and this speed is
dangerous. then the only remedy is to
keep the machines in the barn or sell
them. Certainly in considering the
element Of danger it is not necessary to
make allowances for defect in con-
struction. We imagine that were an
ordinance passed limiting the speed at
eight miles an hour, and were 1t rigid
ly enforced. most owners would find
"a way OF limiting the speed Of their
machines
In the crowded districts ten-mile
gait is dangerous, and on the residence
streets, used by the children as play
grounds. it is equally dangerous. Eight
miles an hour is fast enough for any
vehicle. from am electric car to a push
cart, to run through our city streets.
The best way is to make no dlscrim-
nation; establish one rate of speed for

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor of The Evening Journal
Sir:-I wish to add my protest to the
many that have been received against
allowing automobiles to run through
our streets at the rate of ten miles an
hour. In the first place why should
these machines be allowed to be oper-
ated faster than bicycles and more
rapidly than horses would be allowed
to go through the streets2 Again, why
should Wilmington allow the auto cars
to be run at a much greater speed than
Is allowed in other cities and towns. l
am not opposed to automobiles on gem
eral principles but l do think that
seven miles an hour is fast enough to
run through the city. ! hope the mem-
bers of City Council will in consider
ing this matter remember that the
safety and probably the lives Of hum
dreds of Wilmington's citizens depend
upon their action.

The frontier between British India

particular harm the goats did by

upon the thought OF getting the Will

the scenery of the company to the the

day morning. Working on this idea,
Manager Humphries interviewed the
management of the company and made
arrangements with them to have their
teams leave the stable Immediately at
ter midnight bells have been rung and
go to the car at the foot of Fourth
street and haul the massive "set
pieces of the company to the theatre
Then the transfer men will join with
the mechanics at the theatre and work
all during the night and part Of the
