Permit me to make a suggestion to
the owners OF automobiles relative to
the use Of horns on their machines.
Washington, Is a city Of automobiles,
ana very seldom does one hear the
"honkl honk!" which is heard so fire.
Quently in the streets OF Wilmington.
/ would suggest that the owners Of
machines use the electric bell instead
OF the horn. The horns are all right
TO use in a fog on the water. but they
are anything but pleasing to the ear
TO hear them being sounded on the
streets of a city. The electric bell Is
thoroughly practical for city use, and
Is pleasing TO hear Anyone visiting
Washington is impressed with the
easy running Of the machines on the
streets Of that city. Pedestrians are
not in fear of being run down be-
cause the chauffeurs take care TO ring
the bells and to run their machines
very slow over crossings and In crowd
ed thoroughfares. A law should be
passed abolishing the use of the horn
within the city limits. The plan Is
practical. as shown by the musical
bells in the big cities where automo-
biles are used extensively.

If the government is successful in probing the
operations Of the lumber trust it is assured that
there will be some lively action taken against
this combine which SO vitally affects the welfare
Of the people and the progress Of the building
dustry.
During the last ten or twelve years the price Of
lumber, generally speaking, has doubled. 1t is
asserted that the increase in the value of stump
age" in wage rates, and the cost Of distribution,
is not sufficient to warrant the great rise in
price. 1t is one Of the favorite methods of The
trusts to saddle the blame for extraordinary in-
creases in selling values on the demands of
labor but the returns of the profits made by
trusts show where the fault is. 1t has been as
serted that lumber which sells at more than $40
a thousand cubic feet costs only $40 the thousand
for IFS production and distributions This is re
garded as too high a figure, but the percentage
of profit is undoubtedly large.

QUESTIONS For THE VOTERS.

ONE of the objects OF the Initiative and Re
~ fercndum League in conducting the pres
ent campaign in Delaware is to arouse the direct
interest Of citizens in municipal and state gov
ernment 1t is proposed to test the sentiment
OF the people and ascertain whether the voters
desire to be closer in touch with actual govern
ment and to shoulder more OF the responsibilities.
AT the city election the citizens will vote on
FIVE questions that have beer submitted to them
under the referendum plan. The first question is
whether the Legislature shall be memorialized,
to enact a law enabling people OF Wilmington
to govern themselves just as the Legislature
rules the State. Under such law the people,
through the initiative would have check upon
the city legislation This is the old question of
home rule for Wilmington.
Another question is whether the Mayor and
City Council shall request the Legislature to
enact law providing for Wilmington the sys-
TEN Of assessment Of real estate which is now
in operation in New York city. There is no
doubt that our system of assessment and taxa
ton could be improved. Light upon the New

ing. Other subjects are those requiring accu-
rate detailed statements of the receipts and ex-
penditures Of the cry. There can be no objec-
ton to this question The taxpayers should
know in detail all the items Of expense and re-
ceipts in the conduct OF the city business.
The fourth question is whether the assessors
and collectors shall be bonded by trustworthy
surety companies and prompt settlement made
OF their taxes, The fifth question is that the rail
way companies in the city shall simply live up
to the provisions Of their franchises. All of
these questions it seems TO The Journal should
be answered in the affirmative as they, no doubt,
will be-

AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION.

was, indeed, a pleasant occasion for this city
Such conventions are connecting links between

mington is. brought into closer touch with the
lower counties Not so long ago municipal Of
hcals of the different towns joined with us here
in convention that strengthened the ties of the
towns of the State and discussed matters Of ma
teral benefit
The growth OF women's clubs has been one of
the remarkable developments of recent years
There are now many strong organizations Of
women in the state towns that do much to re-
lieve the monotony of life in the smaller towns
as we'll as in cities. 1t is surprising how much
is learned at these gatherings of women The
delegates have broad view Of the whole State
and the influence of women through these organ
izations is widely extended. Quite proper too
was the consideration of the city beautiful plan at
the convention. Every town in the State should
have city beautiful movement. Delaware is
one OF the garden spots Of the country and its
women and the women's clubs are its choicest
flowers. We trust the delegates from the towns
carry away with them pleasant memories of the
convention that has just closed.

Consume the Smoke.

Editor The Evening Journal
The ever-increasing use of soft coal
in cities and the consequent pollution
OF the atmosphere hy SCOT and sulphur
fumes is attracting serious attention
In many communities. Efforts to re-
duce OF eradicate the nuisance by the
use OF smoke consuming devices have
been made. but they have demonstrate
ed only that it is impossible to burn
bituminous coal in its raw state with
out making smoke.
In a number of cities, notably Chic
ago, Boston. Milwaukee, Baltimore and
Detroit, the solution of the smoke
nuisance has been demonstrated by
the separation Of soft coal into nom
smoking coke and gas in by-product
coke ovens. The by-products. consist
ing of ammonia, tar, penzOl and cya-
nide, are sufficient in value to pay
the entire cost OF the process. thereby
enabling the coke to be sold at tho
same price as the raw coal. This So
luton is so complete and so successful,
commercially and economically, that In
a few years il win be i'm general use
I'm all soft-coal- burning cities. and the
present methods of discharging clouds
of SCOT into the air and creating a

CITY FINANCES.

VAT ITH the city school teachers desiring more
w pay, with the city confronted by the ne
oessity of more policemen, and with the failure OF
the municipal and county official bodies to float
their large issues Of bonds at four per cent, the
authorities are in dilemma and, perhaps some
financial wizard will have TO be developed to see
daylight in the darkness.
II is evident that the bonds, which are to pay
only four per cent interest cannot be easily
foated 1t is probable that local investors and
ordinary people who have small sums that they
wish TO put away for a rainy day, will take some
Of the bonds by popular subscription, but it is
doubtful if the bonds thus purchased will be more
than a comparatively small amount of the total
The fact that the outside bidder wanted to take
the bonds for the water system at below par
clearly indicates that investors wish more for
their money The security would be ample, but
there~are other safe investments that will yield
four per cent. or more. No doubt perplexng
question confronts City Council To increase the
pay of the school teachers and the addition of
large number of policemen to the present force
will call for a heavy extra expense, which must
be met by the Finance Committee Of Council.

I understand that there is a move
ment on foot to increase the police
force and believe it to be a good
project if properly carried out The
proper plan, according to my idea
would be to increase the force by a
half dozen men yearly, placing them
on districts which at present are
larger than others. This. il seems to
me, would be far better than ap-
pointing twenty-five or thirty men at
one time. as I do not believe the
finances OF the city at present would
justify a large increase Of the force.
There can be no doubt but that more
officers arc needed as the size Of the
city Increases. Many Of the police dis
tricts are too large FOR two or even
three men 60 patrol properly. In the
face OF this think the force could be
increased at the rate Of six men a
year. which would gradually remedy
the situation without burdening the
city with So. 900 more expense at once
