place but negro hatred apparently
runs high in some places.

CUTTING
DOWN
TREES
Home Telephone Company
Gets Into Trouble

This morning a crew of the Home
Telephone Company went TO cutting
down trees on the Lincoln school
grounds, and on High street, ada
cent to that beautiful park surround
ing the school. The trees have just
been carefully trimmed by Janitor
Lowrey, and, while they are partly
In the street, are part OF the chill
dren's playground on the girls side
of the school
The telephone company claimed
to have authority from some one,
but the men did not know from
whom. The matter was not up be-
fore the school board In fact, the
trees are many OF them In an unim-
proved part OF High street, over
which the street commissioner and
park board have joint Jurisdiction,
and there is a strong sentiment in
favor OF preserving as many of the
noble oaks and frs as are native
trees and where they will do no
harm. They are the growth of a
century. and should not be cut down
recklessly by every vandal who
comes along.
Complaint was made to the city
recorder, and Judge Moores ordered
an immediate notice served on the
crew to cut no more OF these trees.
Street Commissioner Martin, who IS
a friend of trees, started for the
scene OF the tree-butchery, and a cit
izon of the neighborhood notified the
city recorder that II single tree was
cut an information would be filed
and an arrest made to test the right
OF any man TO cut down trees stand

public service. That is why some intelligent
minds are contemplating the possibility of avert
ing such calamity by some judicious form Of
government partnership in the administration Of
public utilities"
The fact that the Sum- which is usually consd-
cred very friendly to the corporations, admits
principle Of partial government regulation of
public utilities, shows how far the sentiment
along these lines has progressed. 1t rests with
the public service companies themselves, whether
this sentiment shall grow. The question of their
conduct had its inceptons in the intimate rela-
tions such corporations have with the public.
They differ from ordinary business corporations
in that the public service ones enjoy monopostc
privileges. They have become, because OF this,
allied with politics, sometimes trying to avoid
payment of just taxes and often being subjected
to blackmailing schemes at the hands of legsla-
tors. The corporations would doubtless welcome
any plan by which their own troubles would be
minimized, but direct government connection
with their affairs, as suggested by Mr. Watson,
is yet far in the future.
The local corporations objected to the taxation
of their gross receipts, the plan first suggested by
City Council, because it would give outsiders an
opportunity to pry into their business affairs.
Direct government concern by representatives in
their official board, would be resented by them,
and the questions raised by Mr.. Watson for
some time at least, will be confined to the realms
of academic discussion

wav with the corporations.

There are 1000 straight out Demo-
Gratis in this city and 900 more of them
in rural Delaware. They stand for
true Democracy. they stand for Bryan
they stand for the annihilation Of plu.

are Single Tax Democrats.
The Democratic party Is the party Of

and the only hope for Democracy is a
RADICAL forward movement. If the lead
ers Of the Democracy in Wilmington

Roosevelt possesses more democracy
today although he is sadly confused,
than do those leaders.
President Roosevelt Is too Democrat

and too little democratic to suit the
Democrats.
President Roosevelt is honest, pro-
gressive aud courageous. II is within

THE MAYOR DID IT.

THERE is an effort in certain quarters to
i make it appear that the new boss OF the
Republican party, whoever he may be, is respon-
sible for the appointment of Senator Sparks to
be a Street and Sewer director. 1t might be
asked who this alleged boss is Those familiar
with the Republican politics of the State know
quite well that the alleged boss is creature OF
imagination. In every convention OF the party
and in every primary OF recent years, certainly IN
the old Regular Republican wing, all asprants
for office had free and open chance to become
candidates for any positions that they saw ht
There has not been the slightest disposition on
the part OF any one to assume the role of boss,
and the conduct of the last Legislature showed
most clearly that there was no individual Repub-
lican boss" The only boss there is in Della
ware is not an individual one, but one that works
TO control both parties.
In the coming city Republican nominations
there will be no dictation from any source The
candidate will be nominated according to the
wishes of the people.
But regarding the appointment of Colonel
Sparks why should there be cunning attempt
to rob Hon. Horace Wilson of the credit OF
making that selection'
The Mayor has assumed the honor of the ap-
pointment, and he has most emphatically de-
clared that he didn't have hint from any al-
legged boss or from anyone else.

Steel Cars for Passenaers.

Editor The Evening Journal
An announcement was recently made
through the press that the government
has decided to replace the present
United states mail cars on railroads
with cars Of steel structure. This ac-
tion has been taken, it has been stated,
to provide the mail clerks in the cars
with a greater measure of protection

I would Ike to krow why the manage
mcnts Of the railroads cannot be COM
PEELED 60 take the same precautions FOR
the lives cf the passengers. 1t has be-
come pretty we'll established that even
Pullman cars give better protection 10
the passengers ia case Of accident than
do the ordinary passenger coaches. This
is due to the superior construction Of
the Pullman coaches. so that it can be
easily seen that the ail-stecl cars woui I
be even safer 70 ride in than the Pull
mans. 1t seems to me that the rail7
road managements couli better afford
to buy. coaches that are practicany
nonwreckable than to pay the immense
sums That they do IN case of big ac-
cldents.
Respectfully,
