cynical that one is apt to cease to be OBJ

that sounds smart and clever about cyni-

and witty comments, very few Of which
are true and still fewer being other than
pessimistic.
In the first place the question Is fool

father any more than there is a new
fashioned father. There is no fashion in
goodness, no style in badness. The father
Of to-day is much the same as Adam and

Stop Drinking

"How TO Swear off,"


It was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once a year. and
sometimes in every ht of remorse that
followed his debauches. and then
Break II.
But now II is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
Il. Every man expects 70 keep his
word and every broken pledge costs the
drunkard many a heartache. But he
cannot help it. He fights as long as
he can. then succumbs to the craving.
The nervous system of the habitual
drinker is diseased ana he must have
treatment that viii cure this condition.

Governor Fort of New Jersey, recommends the
appointment of a public utilities commission in
New Jersey which shall have charge of the rail-
roads and the other public service corporations.
New Jersey has had railroad commission for
several years, but it has been distinguished by its
do nothing policy. Governor Fort evidently wants
a commission that will do something to earn the
paw the members receive. New Jersey however,
IS taxing its corporations more than it used TO
tax them, and the political situation there is ia
marked contrast with the situation during the as
tendency of the late Senator Sewell Then New
Jersey in the grip of the corporate interests.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.

THE annual report OF the Board Of Health
Il shows that the health of Wilmington on
the whole is good There were I4oI deaths dur
ing the last year, compared with I437 dur
ing the previous year. This is lowering of the
percentage of deaths, and shows that in spite of
fears of our bad water system and other causes
the death rate is not increasing.
Indeed, compared with other cities throughout
the country, Wilmington is remarkably health
full place in which to live, and this fact should
not be hidden when we are portraying the advan-
tages of the metropolis of the Peninsula.

Hundreds OF thousands of dollars were wasted
in the luxurious revelings of gay New Workers
when they "ushered in" the New Year The
other side of the picture is the hundreds of men,
ill-fed, scantly attired, hungergnawed creatures,
some of whom fell exhausted in the streets of the
city the other day while they were trying to earn
a little money by shoveling snow so that they
might keep the ravenous wolf from the door.

TO close many of its coleres in order that it may
not be forced to reduce the price of coal This IS
the favorite device Of monopolists. Limit the

VISIT OF MR.. BRYAN.

IT HE coming Of Mr. Bryan to this State has
a stirred up an unusual amount OF friction
among down country Democrats. Opponents OF
Bryan in Kent county declare that the visit is H.
advised and that Bryan was invited to Dover by
one Democrat, presumably the Hon. William
Salisbury, without consulting any of the official
leaders Of the party in the county.
The Bryan opponents appear TO think that the
visit OF Mr. Bryan will conflict with the bonn for
Judge Gray that has been put forward so tinlidly
by friends of the judge in Delaware.
Mr. Bryan will no doubt receive cordial well
come from large crowd in Dover when he visits
there, whether the opponents of the Nebraskan
like his visit not The only effect of his visit,
it seems to us. will be that the Delaware dele
gates to the Denver convention may be for Bryan
as a second choice. 1t may be that the friends OF
Bryan are planning to prevent the Delaware dele
cations being lined up for Judge Gray as the first
choice, but we scarcely believe that probable
There is little doubt that in the delegation Bryan
will have some staunch friends, just as he had in
the delegation that went from this State to the
St Louis convention four years ago.

Thinks Parks Can Wait.


Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Although / have read with some de-
gree Of interest the news that City
Council intends to borrow $4,000 for
park purposes, I think it would be more
sensible for the Council at this time to
appropriate, say, one-half OF this
amount for the purchase of fuel and
foodstuffs for the suffering poor Of the
city. ] would suggesr that the money
be equally divided among the wards of
the city. When summer comes again
believe we will be as pleased with our
present park system as we ever we're.
Instead Of increasing the park domain
let us do something to ALLEVIATE the
suffering which is so prevalent at this
time.
Respectfully,
A Reader.
