ACTIVE REAL ESTATE MEN.

c ENERAL prominent local real estate men
- tell of the sales of property they have made
recently in what is supposed to be the dull season
in the realty world. They attribute at least part
OF their success to the publicity they bought
through the newspapers
Considering the difficulty in selling real estate
at this time Of the year, the local dealers have
done remarkably we'll, which speaks volumes for
their own energy and activity and for the growth
of the city. Wilmington has been holding its
own this summer in this respect Most Of the
cities round about have been complaining Of
dull real estate season.
The real estate men are among the most impor-
tant factors in citys progress more important
than, we believe, they themselves realize. Will
niington has grown in every direction possible
yet is not much of this due to the far-sighted
policy of real estate men, alert and shrewd who
have opened for sale suburban tracts of desirable
ground that otherwise might have laid idle. 1t
is good thing for any city to have corps of
real estate dealers who are constantly striving to
add to the growth of city and who are deeply
concerned in the welfare of their city.
And the best thing about it is that what they
sell is substantial, sure to yield the purchasers a
direct return and profit on their investment.
The returns may be slow in some instances, but
from the very nature of the property sold the
profits will be certain.
The forces that are working for a larger Will
mington should always consider the real estate
men, who can do so much either to advance or
retard ctys growth.

PARcELs ExPREss SYSTEM.

THE parcels post subject is likely to come up
n again before Congress in view of the pres
ent agitation going on in many States over the
express service In Germany and in Austria If
you desire to send package all that is necessary
is to notify the postman and pay the govern
ments charges. The parcel is taken from the
door and delivered to its destination. The eX-
perence OF American shippers of parcels who
may be abroad is that the service is rapid and sat
fsfactory. In this country the only chance to use
the governments service in this matter is when
the parcel weighs less than four ounces And in
this instance the parcel must be carried to the
regular post office or to the sub-station. Then
the parcel makes leisurely trip and the patron
pays more for the service than he would pay
under the German or Austrian system.
Long has the necessity for this parcel govern
ment service been recognized by the authorities
at Washington. The Grangers have agitated it,,
but so far their efforts have been without sub
stantial result A parcels system is a comfort
that the people might reasonably enjoy at no
great expense. But what stands in the way? The
powerful lobby Of the express companies throt-
ties such legislation when it is attempted. The
whole system Of an express service, as separated
from the railroads is an incubus on the coun-
Try The railroad companies should furnish
rapid transportation of larger packages as part
of their regular business, and the government
should handle the smaller parcels.
The revelations of the enormous profits Of the
express companies and the inquiry into their
practices which has been started in many States,
may stir up an agitation that will bring. even the
congressman who is bound hand and foot 70 these
special interests TO consider the general welfare
OF the people and support parcels express meas

THE announcement that the telegraphers'

dimensions has been averted will be received
with much qualification by those who feared the
disturbance Of business consequent upon such a
conflict The government, through Commissioner

Under the arrangement as given out the differ,
ences between the men and the companies are to
be settled in the future by arbitration and if there
is difficulty in naming the third member of the
arbitration board, he is to be selected by the COM

highly paid class of men considering their ardu-
Gus duties and their long hours. They work for
concerns that secure high profit on their ser
vice, and it is natural that they should endeavor
to obtain better conditions,
The settlement Of the trouble, however, is one
more step for arbitration as means OF ending
