Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
l wonder If in your contemplation
of events you ever stop TO seriously
consider and investigate the deep set
causes Of changeable humanity of how
today men are loudly praising the per-
son OF event that tomorrow they con-
denim II you do, l wonder If you agree
with me that humanity Is not 80 much
at fault in this as Is so often thought
and stated, that usually what seems
to be vacillating public mind Is only
the strong underlying desire IN all of US
TO be right and have what IS right, and
above all TO escape the bright and
brainy vultures that prey on the great
majority who being so busily occupied
with the problem of their own life,
neglect to understand properly and
watch the few, who understanding this
condition, plan to win public conn-
dence that they can so Juggle and con-
fuse that honest plodding humanity
are often deceived into believing that
what they know is wrong may after
all be right, but which when they have
later quietly considered away from the
influence Of these studied and crafty
attacks cause them to return once
more to their original opinion and gain
the reputation of "changeable public"
Inconsistent humanity" etc.
Now l can almost hear you asking
yourself what all this philosophying
means. to what end is such rambling
and dreaming necessary. / will an
swer you. Just this. We are all
clamoring for a new Delaware. bet
ter Delaware" and this, that and the
other policy is being advocated to bring
about this desired result L have a
suggestion 10 make which seems to
me is opportune at this time when no
political campaign is on Gf indeed
there is ever such time I'm Delaware)
and when a certain class of profession-
al politicians and grafters of all parties
are busy studying out the proper meas
ures to advocate and so dress them
up as to make them attractive enough
to carry into Office themselves or their
slaves through whose cupidity they fill
their pockets.
OF all undesirable persons, certain
class of professional politicians is the
most impudent and offensive His BUSH
ness is the filling of his pockets with
public and private funds, while his
amusement is obtained by so manipu-
lating and scheming that he has a
part of the public help in this conduct.
while "a part applauds his success, and
the remainder, busy with their own
problems remain ignorant that it is
going on.
My suggestion, Mr.. Editor is that
you begin NOW, while there is no cam
paign on, while there is no set Of poll
cies TO confuse the public mind, while
the grafters are so busy at work lay
ing their plots and schemes, to arouse
public sentiment and opinion to such
an extent that later on when these plots
and schemes are set I'm motion the
public will be wise, and will not,
because OF loyalty to party, fall into
the trap and help these fellows to ex-
ploit them. We must have a new
Delaware, a better Delaware. every
Delawarean loyal and true desires IL,
and no one can help more in this than
the NEW EVENING JOURNAL. which
gives us some hope OF meaning TO be
a paper loyal to the true and best in
terests Of our proud little state.
You ask me how you shall begin +?
What is there of which the public
should be informed? / answer many,
many, many things, but just for a start
please tell us, why the Street and
Sewer Department have claimed for
four years they were unable to do any
public work of Improvement even to
cleaning the streets because they had
no funds, and now the very first money
they can lay their hands on they vote
away in needless and ridiculous in
creases of salary and plan to eat up
the rest by doing their own paving
OF streets with an unframed and in
capable force.
Inquiringly,
Delaware New.
