SEEMS STRANGE TO THEM.

MO WONDER the Chester paper is amazed
that Dr. A. Robin should ask for reduc-
ton in his salary when he found that he could
not devote the time that he formerly did to the
CITY business. Had Dr. Robin lived in Pennsyl-
vania, worked for city or the State there and
concluded that he was getting too much pay Tor
his services, mentioning that fact he would
promptly have been locked TIP as dangerous
character. The Pennsylvania machine would
have marked him for destruction. Anything like
conscience in the performance Of public duties is
regarded as fiction by the politicians of the Penn
svlvania stripe For instance the boss OF Della
ware county was discovered in a funny position
examining books at midnight during the graft
investigation at the Pennsylvania capital Yet
the boss, with such a record as he made while
holding high position in the State service, was
promptly reelected leader Of the party in
Delaware county. No one, perhaps, ever thought
that it was about time to secure a new leader
Hence the astonishment expressed in Chester
because OF the action Of Professor Robin.
A recent State official of Pennsylvania was a
member Of a committee which had large ap-
propriation to be expended for a certain purpose.
The work was done and there was balance left
sn the appropriation. This fact was so remarks
able that it was commented upon throughout the
State, and some of the ardent supporters Of the
official who did not use all of his appropriation
declared that he was an angel that had suddenly
descended from heaven to Pennsylvania.
Dr. Robins conduct was unusual, and it may
be a good example for others to follow, but we
do not fancy that any other officeholders will
emulate DR. Robin.

TALK WILMINGTON.

THE Board of Trade has suggested that dur
i ing Il summer residents OF the cl.y who
are spending their vacations elsewhere should
'talk Wilmington This is very good sugges-
ton, and it will be adopted by the hundreds Of
Wilmingtonians who are now scattered through
out the country at the different recreation re-
sorts. No one from Wilmington who leaves the
city can fail to find Wilmington represented in
some way. The boats built in this city are sure
10 remind those who travel by water ito talk
Wilmington Often the name OF the makers Of
the craft speaks louder for Wilmington than do
words.
But the policy OF talking Wilmington" is one
that is followed by representatives from other
cities who crack up their own homes while on a
sojoum. The delegates to the Elks' convention
in Philadelphia this week from all parts of the
United States contained large percentage of
boomers who were advertising their own cities
and States, and setting forth their advantages to
everyone who would listen. Even cities of the
Middle States that are rather well-known had
their quotos of takers, and they do much good
dor their homes Wilmington folk can help Will
mington this summer by speaking Of the merits
OF the city. 1t is as the sowing OF seed. The
harvest may be delayed, but some of the seed
sown is sure to be gathered in the harvest, and
every little bit helps.

MsstInas in The Park.

Editor The Evening Journal.
While not doubling the good inten-
tions OF the writer who penned the
editorial in yesterdays Evening Jour
nal, relating to the holding of relig-
lous meetings in the public parks,
wish to make a few remarks on the
matter.
A minister requested permission to
hold twilight meetings in the parks,
and the Board of Park Commissioners
denied him the privilege-and SO they
should do. for this reason. When the
Single Takers requested permission to
hold public meetings in the public
parks some years ago, with a view to
discussing questions that were of vital
Importance to the welfare Of the people,
the park commissioners not only de-
MED them the privilege in vigorous
terms but threatened to have them ar
rested should they do so. In this in
stance It was not the welfare of the
grass that the commissioners consid-
cred, but, instead, the public speaking,
for the Single Tax people swarmed
over the park grass while the speak
ing was done at Rosendale.
Again. Mr.. Editor; The United Labor
organizations of the city requested the
privilege of holding a labor union
meeting in KirSwood Park last Labor
day and the park commissioners denied
them the right But those who were
friendly to labor unions permitted the
speeches TO be delivered from the deck
of a boathouse at the shore to the
thousands who gathered in Kirkwood
Park.
In conclusion, I would say: I agree
with the editor that public parks
should be at the disposal of the people
for public demonstrations, whether
they are religious political, or in the
interest of labor unions. Fish should
not be made of one. set Of citizens and
flesh of another. Therefore, the com
missioners who voted in the negative
in Mr. Carpenters case We're wholly
consistent

WORK OF THE AUDITOR.

A -CORDING to the Dover State News, Mr.
Roe the auditor Of accounts is making
thorough examination of the accounts of differ
ent officials that come under his notice.
The salary Of the State auditor Mr.. Thomas
c. Roe was increased during the recent
session of the Legislature. His duties if faith
fully performed, are by no means small in fact
his position is one of the most important in the
State service, and no doubt Mr.. Roe will faith
fully perform his tasks. AS the State News
points out the auditor is a sort Of guard of the
treasury. He can be utterly lax in the perform
ance of his duties as similar officials are in
Pennsylvania, or he may be of great service to
the people as New Castle county comptrollers
have been in recent years.
The auditor is not merely figure head or the
holder of place for the money that there is in it.,
Very often he can prevent jobbery OF the most
fragrant kind.

A REASON FoR PRIDE.

THE State Of Delaware is just a little wedge
OF land squeezed in between her two large
neighbors, Pennsylvania and Maryland but
neither one Of the arrogant populous Common
wealths has the natural beauty that kind Provi-
dence has handed to the State that has made a
large noise in national affairs, although its con-
fines are diminutive.
Talk Of City Beautiful What is the mat
ter with Wilmington?
Stand on the hills Of the western section of the
city and gaze for miles on landscape that is
natural and yet partakes, to degree, of the adj
ditonal beauty lent by the work Of appreciativc
humanity.
Who that has a soul appreciative of the gifts
Of God can fail to love the purlieus of the purng
Brandywine, and who can fail to appreciate the
wooded hills and shady dales within the environs
OF the city
On all sides we are encompassed by natural
beauty, and save for few spots where the ruth
less hand Of human kind has builded necessary
works, which even in their ravishment Of nature
may yet be made picturesque, we are indeed a
City Beautiful
In the popuous districts the march of improve
ment and present life ideas is making for better
conditions and, noting the wonderful improve
ment OF the past decade-considering The prog
ress Of a few years are we not getting closer TO
the ideal conditions desired?
But let us so TO an extreme in this beautifying.
Let the countless thousands to come enjoy the
works OF the present-and then add to it.
Beautiful surroundings elevate the thoughts Of
even dullard, and the joy of accomplished effort
in aiding the glory of nature is divine.

Police Department could be provided

While such a plan would require at
least 100000 to carry out IL would
not cost as much as an entirely new
City Hail. It is pointed out that ia :
work could be done by issuing bonds,
so many hundred thousand dollars
worth each year until the required
amount was reached. Mr.. Brincklo
says many cities the size Of Whining

time and, he. with many members of

Wilmington to make start in the

composed of Councilmen Moyes, Will
liams and Craig and City Atty. Bag
ley, met with the residents of lower
Twenty-eighth street and the railroad
officials to hear the complaints the cit
liens have to the proposition of the
railroad companies to close up Twenty
eighth street at Pacific avenue and to
open up Twenty street. Atty j.
N. Kimball was present in behalf of the
residents and entered vigorous pro-
test against the proposition, claiming
that the council had no right to barter
away the rights of the people to ac-
commodate the railroad corporation.
He also set forth that by closing up
the street the property would greatly
depreciate in value. Several citizens
also talked against the proposition.
Attorney Farley Williams was pres
ent for the railroad company and
claimed that the railroad people in
tend putting in about 25 tracks across
that street to facilitate the freight
business, and they do not feel that the
traffic on that street ia sufficient %
warrant the building of a viaduct.
There were present about 60 people to
enter protest. The committees report
will be in the hands of the city coun-
ell next Monday night.

Before officers could arrive they were
