deeply impressed by the fact that the
position of Councilman Is only a fig

should ask the good citizens OF my
ward to send me to Council to repre-
sent them, when / can do so little. IL IS
great honor 10 have their confidence
and ] assume I ann expressing the sem
timents OF all the Councilmen.
MY observation is that Councilmen
are closer TO the people than any other
represa antatives dn the world, except,
perhaps, the tax collector. He knows
their needs and &C IS the duty Of the
people TO elect men that they know
will be the best for the interests Of
the community. Since the incorpora.
tion of our city seventy-hve years ago
to-dny with a population Of about FIVE
thousand souls the history Of city gov
ernment and city councilinen has been
made. Some twenty years or more ago
our citizens, for reasons that it Is not

to place upon themselves in my opinion

They thought Il best to economize at
the spigot. but they forgot the bung-
hole. with tho result we are now reap
Ing tho whirwlnd. our city government
has and is costing as too much for the
amount of money expended for Inn
provemonts and to those not acquaint-
ed with our affairs, Council is held
responsible. We believe that the city
government can be run on the tax rate
as levied, and further, that by ASSESS

rlchcd TO an amount sufficient TO meet
our annual deficiency and more. II
the Council is not granted relief IN some
legislative way. II may bc necessary to
raise taxes for one year and then re-
adjust assessments so that property
may bear its just burden. 1 hope the
gentlemen OF the Legislature will heed
dhe demands OF the cities and towns
threughout the state for home rule and
to Wilmington give back TO the people
the government of their affairs which
should bc vested IN the City Council,
and let the people, through Council,
make all the laws governing the VAR
ious city departments. I can under
stand why individuals through circum-
stances are poor. but I cannot under
stand why a municipal corporation,
like Wilmington, should be advertised
throughout tho world as being poor
short OF funds, and making eXtraordin-
ary loans. I think I express the sem
timent OF Council and citizens in gem
eral in advocating a liberal expenditure
OF money for schools. TO train the fu-
ture citizens; the grading, making and
improving streets and parks with this
stipulation. That II must not be vast
ed. which Is about tho same as steal
ing. City Council wants the best Inn
precision TO prevail OF our naturally
beoutiful city. that those Of us who SO
abroad can refer to the metropolis Of
the Diamond state with pride.
"On behalf OF City Council I express
this sentiment. Be just and fear not
that all the ends thou aimest at be thy
Gods. thy countrys and thy truths.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Creates Laughter by Declaring That
Lawmakers Make Their Own Trouble

DR.. T. o. Cooper responded to "The
House Of representatives" He said
"Mr. Chairman: For the second time
IL is my privilege to represent the
House Of Representatives at a Board
Of Trade banquet, and on behalf of
that body, TO respond to the toast The
House of Representatives. It might
not be out of place at this point TO say
that it IS sometimes called the Com
mon House by some of the grave and
dignied Senators at the other end Of
the State House. / think IL was
Shakespeare that said some men in
herit trouble. others achieve It. while
some have IL thrust upon them. The
last proposition is the only excuse that
I can offer you for my presumption in

sembly TO outline some Of the phases

duties of the members of that august
body.

Continuing, Or. Cooper said he hoped
that the Legislature Of 1907 would
make a good record and concluded by
thanking the Board of Trade for its

"THE BOARD OF TRADE"
Mr.. Hastings Points Out Importance

Deputy Attorney-Generai Hastings

Deputy Attorney General Hastings
said:
'1n this prosperous. industrial age,
competition is found TO be the one
thing that Is testing the quality and
quantity of the business man. II Il
were not for this competition. the man
could leave his place OF business with
tho close OF the day and dismiss it
from his mind until the beginning of
the following day resting assured that
no competitor would between the suns
wrest from him any pant of that trade
which goes to make up his yearly pro-
fits. But as IL Is, his work does not
end with the coming Of darkness,
neither does his beginning OF the
days work wait for the rays OF the
morning sun. AS the business world
is constituted to-day, the successful
man therein cannot go throughout the
day and night with an ease Of con-
tontment and a mind inactive. hut on
the contrary he must he alive to his
own business interest and his mind
and energy must be equal to that Of
his competitor. This IS true not only
OF the man in business. but & applies.
I'm some degree at least, to men in all
walks Of life. The man OF the pro-
fession. the clerk or mechanic must
ever strive to increase and improve his
skill and usefulness IL he is TO get any
thing like his share Of the work that
is around about him. Competition to-
day, however, Is not confined 10 the
individual. nor to the private business
OF the Individual but IL extends to
the modern municipalities all over this
great hand OF ours. And this friendly
warfare of competition between these
municipal corporations ~ carried ON at
all. must be carried on through their
respective Boards OF Trade.
