THE REASON WHY.

A MIGHT be expected Every Evening is
\ making a strenuous effort to help the Lea
Milling Company put through that scandaous
$4,000 deal which was sneaked through Sc
cret meeting OF the Water Commissioners last
Monday To understand the intense interest
Every Evening has in the matter it is only neces-
sary to recall the fact that the owner OF that
paper is the head of company that also has
valuable water rights on the Brandywine, and
which it has several times recently endeavored
to unload on the city at an enormous price. With
a continuation of the present Board of Water
Commissioners or its methods more of these val
liable water rights may be needed, then another
secret session and the taxpayers "stung again
for several hundred thousand dollars. No Won
der Every Evening and its owners are shielding
the Water Commissioners and trying to make
the price as high as possible. 1t even suggested
that the Water Commissioners should have paid
S25oooo instead of 100000 for property that
cannot longer be owned and operated at profit.
What pity it was that Every Evening did not
know of the scheme before that secret meeting,
for if it had it might have succeeded in getting
up to price to even S3oo.ooo. OF course the Com
missioners would have appreciated its assistance.
The higher the price for Lea, the higher the price
Tor Bancroft. 1t would have been nice all
around. Well we thank Heaven, the people of
Wilmington will have chance TO halt that Job
in the Legislature.

BOYS WORRY
STATION OFFICIAL.

Many complaints have been sent t.
the offices Of the p, B. and w. Rail
road Company regarding the actions
OF a crowd of young men who frequent
the French street station, every morn
ing. They are evidently students at
some school IN Philadelphia and travel
up on the train leaving the French
street station at 7.42 o'clock
While the cars are drawing into the
station and long before they come to
"A standstill the boys jump on the steps.
catch the handles and run alongside
them. thereby endangering their own
lives and the lives Of many women and
children. Any person standing near
the tracks is knocked down or thrown
aside In a ruthless manner.
More than one OF the boys has fall
len while attempting to board the NOV
ing train and been dragged along the
platform almost under the wheels OF
the train. When reprimanded by Of
ficer Gordy the boys dehantly stated
that they held tickets for a trip on the
train and he had no right 20 interfere
with them. The station employees de-
clare some Of the youngsters viii he
killed or will cause the death OF some
ons else n this rough and dangerous
practice is not discontinued.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Above all evils committed on the
public street, I think the expectoration
of tobacco on the sidewalks IS the
worst Recently I have seen scores Of
men walking along the sidewalks de-
liberately splitting tobacco saliva on
the pavement Not only chewers Of to-
bacco use the pavements for cuspi-
doris, but others as well. We are now
engaged IN an effort to mitigate the
evils Of the white plague. yet the side
walks are used by thousands IN COM
municating the disease. A lady cannot
pass along the sidewalks without hnv-
ing her skirts soiled by sputum II IS
time for the police to break up this
nuisance and now is the time for them
10 act. Men and women gather the
'isease- breeding germs on their shoes
and they are carried into homes and
Offices. A man has the right to uac
tobarco in any form he chooses. bat u,
has no right to spit on the sidewalk.

MERELY A DEMOCRATIC TRICK.

YOUNG Mr.. Mccoy is rightly indignant that
some one should place him in the class Of
men who want dollar given them in order that
they might exercise the highest and most pre-
cious rights OF citizenship No wonder he was
worried. The sending of dollar for such pur-
poses TO the recipient is insulting.
A number of cases Of this kind have come to
light and they always fall into the hands Of
Every Evening. Did it ever occur to young Mr..
Mccoy that the chances are nine out of ten that
the dollar sent him was simply trick of the
Democrats? They knew that he would be in-
dignant on receiving the money and make howl
about it, and perhaps not register and lose his
vote. 10, they were correct in their sur
misses and the righteous Every Evening points
out that the wicked Republicans sent the money.
This is a good trick Of the Democrats. 1t is well
worth the dollar they expended But such art-
fees will deceive no one. We pity Mr. Mccoy.
lie has been the victim Of a contemplate Demo
cratic campaign trick.

That crooked peal.

Possibly we are not competent to give
expert judgment as 10 the value Of the
Lea water rights on the Brandywine,
but we suspect that the sum Of $780,
600, said TO have been agreed upon by
the Water Department and the owners
of these water rights, IN a proposed sale
to the city, viii appear to be pretty
large sum. II is the common thought
about the water running through the
Lea race that It was of no use at the
Lea mills. That Il was not used, and
that the milling wcrk there was done
by steam power. II Is also the common
idea about this matter that value Of
the water power ceased on the burning
Of the original mill that has never been
rebuilt II these things. be true, and
the value Of the Lea water rights rests
entirely upon the fact that this city
needs the water for Water Department
supply the purchase and sale Of 1t TO
the city should be conducted so as 10
best conserve the public interest-that
the reserved right Of the people to the
earth. the air and water. should not be
forgotten or surrendered. 1t may he
heresy IN law and government, but
not an altogether untenable PROPOSE
ton to say that when the holder Of
such rights as this water right ceases
to use IT for the benefit Of the people.
that is in the production OF some man
ufacture OF value. when It ceases to
be of use to him for that purpose II
ought in justice to revert to the people
as the original owners. Another view
Of the matter Is that II the possession
Y this water right is necessary for the
continued water supply of this city.
there is provision H. the law for COIL
demning It and taking IL at the value
7ut upon II by a commission appointed
by the state court. We think tbs pro.
vision OF the law is intended for just
sucr cases, and for the protection Of
public interests against private greed.
Why is it not applicable in this case2--

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious TO have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election Of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Rcpub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam.
paign Text Book and all documents
Issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

Editorial Opinion
A WsII. pessrved Rebuke.

Every Evening seems to be greatly
worried over the relations existing be-
tween Mr.. Addicks and Congressman
Burton. We confess that we do not
understand what business u is Of Every
Evenings, whether they are friends or
not. But this we DO know, that the at
tempt to injure Dr. Burton upon the
ground OF his relation with Mr. Addicks
is the smallest Of small politics. 1t Is
a mean attempt to revive the old
threadbare and rotten anu-Addicks sem
timent-an evidence Of the desperate
straits into which the Democratic adj
vocates are driven for argument.
surely as a Republican DR. Burton
should be. and we believe he IS. for
Mr.. Addicks for United States Senator
against any Democrat who may aspire
TO that position. In finding the point
OF that suggestion Il must be remem-
bered that Every Evenings effort is
to defeat the election Of a Republican
from this State 10 Congress. and at
the same time defeat the election OF a
Republican United states senator. II
attempts TO do this not by the discus
sion Of principles or policies, but by
the mean, lowdown methods OF the gos-
sip monger and an appeal TO the pre-
judices Of some voters, and the ignor-
ant fears OF others. Sane, Intelligent
and thoughtful Republicans will not be
misled by such appeals.
Dropping personal interests, and bar
ring inexcusable prejudice, political OF
otherwise, there is good reason why
every good citizen Of Delaware should
consider himself IN some sense, deb
tor TO Mr. Addicks DR.. Burton is not
an exception to this rule and we be-
lieve Is too honorable "A man TO stoop to
/ the low level to which the Every Even
ing Invites him, even though Il would
secure his election to Congress The
Sun.

TO GET SOME BENEFIT FOR TAXES.

TT IS essential for good government that the
4 Republicans should remain in control OF the
county. A defeat Of the candidates for the coun-
ty offices in the Court House would give the Dem
ocrats encouragement to fight to regain control
of the Levy Court Then we should have a re-
sumption Of extravaganza and an era Of high
taxes.
There is this difference between Republican
and Democratic county rule. When taxes are
paid under Republican administration the peo-
pie get something for their money.
We have just started upon a system of good
roads building thai by all means should be en-
couraged. Under Democratic rule in the county
there was scarcely anything ever visible for the
taxpayers money. All county Improvements
should be encouraged and the Republicans in con-
troll Of New Castle county will mean that the pro-
gressive policy will be continued.
