meet with success in. his new venture If he
should enter the wide dominions OF the Gar we
will guarantee that the Car viii know that the
Hon J. Edward Addcks is about. An active,
pushing American, he will stir up Russia. There
is no doubt about that. If AIR. Addicks were
somewhat younger, although he is not so old by
any means, he would have before him in Russia
many years of experience and useful life.
Should the former Delaware gas magnate fin
ally conclude to operate in Russia we would not
be surprised to see him turn up as member OF
the Duma, the Russian legislative parliament.
Political conditions are new in that country, and
a shrewd American leader should have no trou-
bic in landing into the highest legislative body
Should Mr. Addicks enter the Duma he would
be fearless of ukases or manifestoes. lie would
be just as persistent and just as hard a fighter in
Russia as he has been in Delaware. He would
make news right along even though the censor
had to suppress some OF it, So, we say, we hope
that the Hon. j. Edward Addcks will have good
fortune should he go to Russia, and make a suf-
hcient sum of money so that mint would look
trivial in comparison.
Hail, then to the Hon ]. Edwarditchvitct Ad-
dcksanof, possible member Of the Dumal May
his nerve not desert him, nor his legs tremble
nor his voice fail. nor his serenity become less
placid, as he stands before the Car emperor
potentatcs and archbishops, and tells them
among other things, that we have in Wilmington
a City Executive Board that has taken the Cars
bureaucratic methods as a model for the conduct
of business in Delaware.

PEOPLES SETTLEMENT.

THE Peoples Settlement at Church and Tay-
= lor streets, has done good work on the
east side in line with similar efforts to aid those
who need it in other cities. 1t is charity that
should receive liberal support from those who
contribute to such efforts. A little more than FIVE
years ago the settlement was started by Miss
Sarah w Pyle with one room as a club of seven
girls Progress at first was slow because the
residents Of the region did not fully understand
what the settlement was designed TO accomplish.
When the idea was fully comprehended, how
ever, that the new venture was in the nature of
a club. where gatherings and classes could be
held for mutual Improvement and social enjoy
ment in orderly surroundings, the growth became
rapid In FIVE years the original number Of seven
has increased to 400 The Journal doubts if even
those who are we'll informed in the progress of
such work know the real advance that has been
made by this organization.
During week there are hventy-seven distinct
gatherings ranging from the kindergarten up to
the Womans Improvement Club Instead of a
single room which marked the humble beginning,
the whole house is now occupied and much in
terest is being manifested in the raising of funds
for larger and more convenient building the
Penny-A-Day Society having raised more than
SIoo during the past year for the purpose
The members of the settlement will present an
entertainment next Monday at the New Century
Club and different numbers of the program are
being prepared by various clubs This affair
should be literally patronized by those anxious
TO see the results Of properly guided self help
