WANT MORE PARKS
ON THE EAST SIDE

William p Bancroft president Of The
Board of Park Commissioners, and
other members of the board have. as
Individuals. and not in their official ca
pacity interested themselves in a
movement to have established some
place on the cast side OF the city a
suitable site to be used as a public
playground and brea thing space for
the children and residents of that sec
tion. They have brought the matter
to the attention OF the Board Of Park
Commissioners. but as yet nothing has
been done towards purchasing ground
for this project.
Mr.. Bancroft thinks the site OF the
old p, B. & w. car shops the most
advisable to establish such a play
ground. This is situated between
Church and Bridge streets and Third
and Fourth streets, and at present is
unoccupied and apparently Of no use
to the p. b. & w. Railroad Company
which owns the ground
Mr. Bancroft interested Alfred D.
Warner, a director Of the road, in the
matter and Mr. Warner went to the
head officials OF the company but ee-
ceived a nat refusal either to sell or
rent that plot of ground TO the Park
Commission. The project to secure this
site as a playground was talked about
more than a year ago and the railroad
officials then advanced the argument
that the building on the elevated rail-
road then being done in that vicinity
would make II dangerous for those who
would frequent this place and asked
that the matter be allowed TO rest until
the elevated railroad was completed
there. Now that 1t is finished the COM
pany sends IN a fiat refusal to dispose
Of the ground in any way for the benefit
OF the city
Mr.. Bancrowt then considered site
along the Christiana river around the
monument Of the Swedes first landing
place I'm the yards OF the Mccullough
Iron Company. but this was not thought
suitable and that site was abandoned.
However other places are being consid-
cred and the members OF the Park
Board viii see n some advantageous
plot Of ground cannot be secured for
a public play ground. They realize that
such place is necessity for the neo-
pie OF the east side.

KEEPING FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE.

OVERNOR HUGHES in his message to
NJ the New York Legislature, outlines plans
for positive reforms that he desires the law-mak-
ing body to put into operation. He is thus carry
ing out the pledges he made to the people during
the exciting campaign which resulted in his cleo
ton. The governor takes decided stand on the
pretenses of Hearst to election as mayor OF New
York, and asks the Legislature to provide some
means by which the recount of the vote can be
made. Hearst has been clamoring for an oppor-
tunity to secure a recount and it win now be
given him if the governor has his way. AS the
Encouragement is friendly TO Hearst, it is fair
to presume that the claims Of the candidate will
be finally passed upon.
The governor recommends newer and better
system of voting. In this he will be supported
by many outside OF his own State who are weary
Of the cumbersome method of the blanket ballot.
The governor insists on an amendment to the
corrupt practices act regarding expenditures of
candidates during campaigns so that the law can
be made more effective.
On the railroad question Governor Hughes
stands with President Roosevelt in supporting
proper means for the regulation or operations Of
railroads in the State SO that there can be no

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION NEXT.

Nov that the organization of the Legislature
has been effected in an orderly and prompt
manner it is to be hoped that the senatorial ques-
ton will be carefully considered and fair and
prompt settlement made of it when the time
rives. 1t is said that New Castle county is plan
ming to dictate the selection Of the next senator
and to thwart the wishes of Kent and Sussex
counties We have reason to believe that il such
a plan exists it does not meet the favor of the
recognized party leaders who concede that the
next senator belongs to Kent and SUSSEX and
thatthe choice of an expressive majority of the
Kent and Sussex members of the Legislature
should be respected by the New Castle members.
This attitude is indisputably fair, Just and polite.
It is in accordance with the general plan of select
ing State officers and as recognition Of the prin-
ciple of majority rule, the ignoring of M..e..
started the bitterest political factonal feud ever
waged in our State. Our government is founded
upon the broad principle of majority to rule,
and so long as that principle is respected the
government or party is the least liable to dis
cuption. 1t is not denied by anybody in either
New Castle, Kent or Sussex that there exists an
understanding or unwrtten agreement that as
New Castle now has one senator, the other be-
longs to Kent and Sussex. In fact that is an
arrangement of placing the two senators that has
always been recognized in this State by both
parties. To oppose such plan would promptly
defeat either party In such matter county
lines and pride would prevail over the party. He
IS a political fool who would deliberately under
take to deprive either New Castle or Kent and
Sussex of a right that either belongs or is con-
ceded to one or the other section. 1t has been
tried and every time defeat has followed. And so
II will be- There are certain basic principles that
must be recognized by political leaders or party
If success is desired. One of those elementary
principles in Delaware politics is to respect the
rights of the different counties. Therefore, it
being fact that the next senator is conceded to
Kent and Sussex, the choice of the man should be
left to the elected representatives of those two
counties If an expressive majority can agree
upon a man he should be elected senator, and to
not do that would be to violate not only an exist
ing specific understanding but also the prece-
dents of both parties in such matters. We are
discussing this matter from the point of view Of
a principle and not the interest of any individual
and we contend that that is the only basis upon
which the party can afford to settle the senatorial
question.
