While last years elections show

seemed setting towards Democratic
contentious they demonstrated that
the great need Of the Democracy is
q more thorough organization. And
the needed organization is impossi-
BILE Of accomplishment in the heat
Of political campaign and 10 put

We believe We have in our COZ d ty
Unnecessary number Of Demock RATS
to win The election, but unless they
are organized they cannot be brohghi

Of waiting until the eleventh hour,
we think that Democratic workers
il every districtshould take account
Of stock and find OUTFLOW many re.
Liable Democrats HERE are ii every

our cause the doubtful and the in

sire to pull down any Democrat that

But we do desire party success and
we stand ready and willing to use
every honorable means TO secure ii.
We have heard Of no plan better
calculated TO perfect party organi-
zation than that formulated by that
matchless fighter, William ]. Bryan,
twice our party's nominee for the
Presidency. In his paper, The
Gommoaer, Mr. Bryan advocates the
Primary Pledge Plan. and out
lines it as follows: Every Demo.

party, unless unavoidabIy pre-

FIRE COMP PANIES
STILL AFTER MONEY

Two more fire companies presented
petitions to city Council last night for
an increase i'm their appropriations. The
Fame Company desires $500 year
more than it IS now receiving and the
Delaware Company is after $500 In ad-
diton 20 it's present annual appropria-
tion.
Following the communications sent
to Council by the Weccacoe and Wash
mgton companies several weeks ago,
each asking for $500 a year additional
appropriation, petitions were immed-
lately presented by the Reliance and
Water Witch companies asking for more
money and last evening two more COM
panies came forward with similar re-
quests.
Members OF the fire department are
looking upon the many requests for
more money by the different fire COM
panies, as having some bearing ON the
present differences betwene the "com-
bine" and anti-combine" companies.
The requests from the Fame and
Delaware companies we're referred ia
the finance and fire committees.

POTENT CAUSE OF BAD GOVERNMENT

r ACK of interest-ndifferenc the potent
II cause OF lax or bad government. Beneh-
cares of loose or inefficient government count
upon the unconoern of voters as their chief as
set Politicians are sensitive to public opinion
when they believe that opinion is aroused Gov
ernment is but a reflex OF the wishes OF the pco-
pie actively expressed. Desires that remain
passive, people who complain OF inefficient gov
ernment and do nothing to remedy it, never ac-
complish anything that counts in political mat
ters
The Central Labor Union according to the
resolutions adopted at the meeting the other
night, proposes in a proper manner to take an
active part in the coming campaign in Whining
ton The Central Labor Union represents
large and intelligent body of workingmen in this
city They are as much interested in civic mat
ters as are any other class of citizens. Every
workingman, whether he is affiliated with the
Central body or not is also vitality concerned in
good government All government in a country
like ours depends upon the voice of this large
element, the actual laborers and wealth creators
Take the question of taxation. Every citizen OF
a community is taxpayer lie pays his tribute
10 the government either directly or indirectly
Directly if he himself owns property, and nd-
rectly if he rents property. Many Of the Central
body and Of the workingmen at large own prop
erty; others do not. But all have the same re-
sponsbty. The Central body, according to its
resolutions, seems TO be on the right track. 1t
urges the workingmen OF the city TO scrutinizc
the aspirants who may offer themselves for pub
lie place 1t declares that the public service cor
porations are endeavoring to control the nomna-
tions of both parties In this specific instance we
do not know whether in the coming election Of
Wilmington this is true or not, but as a general
principle the private interests try to get all the
political power they can. They are human. The
chances are that they will see, If possible, that
persons unfriendly to their interests do not be
come candidates. After the last Legislature was
chosen the people woke up to the fact that the
public service corporations were strongly en%
trenched in the Senate. They held the whip
hand. The proper place for the voters to CON
slider the character of the candidates is at the pri-
maries. Let the Central Labor Union arouse in-
terest in the coming election, let them urge the
voters to support aspirants for office who will
serve the interests of the people and who are not
tied TO under obligations to any private inter
est whatever. If this is done there will be no
question OF the complexion of the coming Coun-
Gil and the new administration of Wilmington.

DESERVED TRIBUTE.

TAT HAT high and deserved tribute was that
w paid to the Pusey and Jones Company,
Of this city at the launching Of the steamer Nor
rison. G. A. Anthony, marine engineer and SUI
pervisor of transportation of the War Depart
ment stated to an EVENING JOURNAL rep
resentative "that the government is always salts
fed with the vessels built by the local company
and never questioned its ability to fulfil all
specifications required when the contracts were
awarded"
Higher praise could not be given any concern.
1t speaks volumes for the method of doing bus-
ness of this substantial industry And yet it
was only what the company deserved and has
earned. The tribute is really far reaching The
Pusey and Jones Company should be proud Of
it, and every man in its employ, from the hum-
best laborer to the president, should consider
this remark as a high homage to honesty, worth
and efficiency Every Wlmngtonan should
feel elated that. at this time when there is much
complaint, Federal official sends forth a mes
sage that the work of one of Wilmington's fore
most establishments is never questioned by the
government. There are other industries in Will
mington Of which the same could be said That
is why the city's reputation both home and
abroad is so solid
How different are the expressions OF govern
ment officials with regard to many other big
concerns throughout the country. Contrast this
remark with the career OF the beef packing trust
Evening journal., 1907-04-19

of Chicago for instance which, through its greed
all graft, has damaged the reputation of Ameri-
can products abroad, the combine that the gov
crnment was called upon to proceed against
in the most stringent manner. Contrast it
with rebating railroad companies, scandalous in
surahce arrangements manufacturers OF many
kinds Of adulterated food products, with the con-
duct of the Standard Oil monopoly and other
concerns and the praise offered Wilmington and
to the Pusey and Jones Company becomes even
more satisfying and valuable. The Wilmington
industries have to win their way in dealing with
the government on their merits. They stand or
fall by themselves.
But how gratifying to the officers OF the COM
pany should be this commendation. TO some
men an appreciation Of this kind is OF more value
than are dollars and cents. 1t is stimulus to
even better things, to keep up high standard Of
excellence.

no IMPROVE A BAp ROAD.

ID ESIDENTS along the Lancaster and New
IN port turnpike will be glad to note that
the Levy Court has taken up the condition OF
those roads and relief is promised. The Lam
caster turnpike is about bad stretch OF road
as it would be possible to coniure in the most
fanciful mind, 1t is a torture to ride or to at
tempt to ride over it.
Travel is hard on animals that may be called
upon to 60 over this highway, while it is ruin
ous to wagon or carriage. The farmers have
long been complaining, and if there is any road
in New Castle county that needs improvement
it is this Lancaster turnpike. Since the high
way has been in such miserable condition prop
erty in that ncghborhood has decreased in value,
furnishing an object lesson Of what bad road
will do.
