applied to the improvement Of the

the price of 100000 asked for the Lea
water rights, and said that an addi-
tional expense OF 100000 would be en-
tailed In developing these rights by
widening the race. Installing turbine
wheels, etc. Il don't think 1 will ever
vote to purchase these rights" he said.
THE water is not needed, and / don't
believe in going to this expense just to
old them. The only good 1 can see
the purchase Of these rights can ac-
ompnsn is to prevent future litiga-
tion."
Ford Wants Water Rights
Mr.. Ford said he favored the pur-
chase Of the Lea rights. as he had at
first, and also thought the work of
building the final filter plant at the
weldin Farm should be started at
once.
Mr.. Ford asked President Shaw II he
had not voted to purchase the water
rights. The latter said that he had,
but he had changed his opinion since
that time.
Mr.. Shaw in No Haste
Mr. Ford also asked Mr.. Shaw If he
had not favored the slow sand ultra
tion system, and he replied that he
had. and still believed it 70 be the only
system for Wilmington, but he did not
believe in going ahead with the work
just at this time, for the reasons he al
ready cited.
Mr. Shaw characterized the existing
hard times as a rich mans panic,'
brought about to injure the present
national administration, and would not
last long. He made this statement In
the course OF his reply TO Mr.. Ford
who thought that by building the final
filter beds now many men out of work
could be given employment.

BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET

Through the medium of the banquet
on Thursday night, the Americas
Board of Trade focuses public atten-
ton on its plans and on its impor-
lance to the progress of the city 1t
was an advertisement of the most
effective type
1t was a gathering to be proud of,
representative of the business and
social life of the city. Coming at a
time when the revival of interest in
the organization is in full swing, it
will be of more value on that ac-
count
The banquet was itself a social
event of Importance, it's broad scope
enabling the entertainment of a
much larger number than ordinarily
have the opportunity of gathering
around one board. AS a promoter of
social acquaintance the event was
also of value And on the truism that
whatever tends TO unite and harmonic
will be for the good of the city, much
Importance is to be attached to such
a gathering of the social and business
life where the spirit of good fellow
ship ruled.
Though the labor put forth to make
the banquet a success was heavy, the
promise of good to come to the organ
ization and city is a reward worthy
Of the time and work entailed.
Personal to the Board of Trade, it
showed to the city that it is a live,
militant organization, proud of the
city and of its future, and that this
faith sought an outlet for expression
in a public banquet where the utter
ances would find voice before a
larger audience.
In attendance, enthusiasm and ora
tory the second annual banquet OF
the Americas Board of Trade was a
success of which the Organization
may we'll be proud. AS the voice OF
the united business interests of the
city the organization has established
new high water mark for itself.

the new law, Mr.. Brown completely an
swers the false charge and proves
himself better prohibitionist that
Gov. Smith.
The statement of Mr.. Brown will
be read with interest over the state,
and in the ranks of the Smith faction
will most probably bring dismay. 1t
is a severe arraignment of the Cover
nor and his administration and as
the facts given are known OF all
men, it will be hard to overcome
their effects.
Then too, Gov Smith is handicap
ped by the results of his policy of
corporation fighting, and a large
number of voters do not like the
results. 1t viii no do to say that
Gov. Smith has not had time to
carry out his purposes. For this per-
haps the voters will be duly thank
full.
To the reading voter-and he is
vastly in the majority in these days
the address of Mr.. Brown, we believe,
will appeal strongly. 1t will give his
opponent something to think about
at least. 1t will certainly arouse him
from that pipe dream of Silent con-
tempt" as being the political prize
winner of this time.

FEDERAL BUILDING ASSURED

The action of the Senate committee
on public buildings in approving the
bill for $4,000 for a new postoffice
building at Americas, which was Sc
cured through the efforts of Senator
Clay, is highly gratifying to this
city. While it was not as much as
was hoped for, the sum, added to
what is left from the first appropria-
ton after buying the ground, will in
sure handsome building.
No difficulty is anticipated in the
House, where Congressman E. B.
Lewis has been laboring to the same
end so faithfully. So it may be re-
garded as assured that the additional
sum will be appropriated.
With the present somewhat reduc-
ed price of building materials, the
| $685. 900 will really go as far as g
larger sum would have done in the
| recent past. 1t is to be hoped that nc
time will be lost in getting to work
both from the standpoint of economy
| and that of the desirability of having
| such a large enterprise under way.
Added to the sum already available
the new appropriation will permit al
expenditure or the building of $40,
900. This should be sufficient tt
erect a splendid building for Uncle
| Sam, which will be an ornament tt
the city and worthy of the Nationa
Government It's location on one
of the most prominent corners
| in the business section viii
| be a valuable addition to the build
| ings which show off the city to sucl
advantage.
To Congressman Lewis and Senator
Clay, who have secured the additiona
sum, Americas owes a debt of graft
| tude which will no doubt be repaiC
in a measure when opportunity of
| fers. Their good work will be

The POpulistS
philadelphia Ledger.)

The Populist National Convention,
which met in stormy. session last
week, passed without notice, but its
action on that day, when it repudiat-
ed Bryan and named Tom Watson,
may decide the issues of the next
presidential election. Watson, who
was the nominee in 1904, polled only
$4,000 votes, which was less than
the following of either Debs, Social
list, or Swallow, PrOhibitiOnist, but
even this small number is useful in
a close election. There are indica-
tons, however, that the Populists, or
radicals, will poll a much larger vote
next fall, and that the vote will but
accentuate BrYan's defeat if he be
named by the Democrats.
In 1892 the POpulists, or Green
hackers, cast a million votes for
Weaver. Nearly all this class of
voters went over to Bryan, who was
regarded as a Populist, and voted for
him in 1900 and in 1904 the Populists
repudiated Bryan because they re-
garded his acceptance of Parker as
recantation and reputation of
their doctrines Practically all of
/ the Republican Popuhsts and many
of the Democratic Populists voted in
| that election for Roosevelt. In the
| coming election these Populists will
probable not receive with enthusiasm
any Republican other than Roose-
welt. They will regard any man men
| toned by the Republicans, whether
/ it be Taft or Fairbanks, or Cannon,
or Knox, or Hughes, as tame and
orthodox party men, Joined to the
| fleshpots of business and corpora
lions and capital" They will not
| accept Bryan and they will not vote
| for the Republican, and if they cast
a formidable vote their strength will
count heavily against Bryan, be-
cause the defections to the Populist
| standard will consist chiefly of voters
who gave Bryan his strength in
| 1896. If Hearst's independence Lea
que also refuses to accept Bryan, the
Democrats will be in sorry plight if
| they nominate the Nebraskan.

A Plain Test.
{ New York Times. }


Mr. Sulzer of this city has introduce
ed bill in the House relating to
the revenues for the Government and
to encourage the industries of the
United States" The intention of
the bill is declared to be that when
ever goods, wares, and merchandise
produced or manufactured in these
United States are sold cheaper in
foreign countries than in this coun-
try, the same shall be placed on the
free list and not entitled to any of
the benefits of existing tariff laws"
We do not suppose that Mr.. Sulzer
expects to secure much serious at
tension for this bill from the House, or
even from the Ways and Means Com
mittee, of which he is a member. But
we hope he will get the chance to
state the ground for the bill, and the
nature and scope of the trade at low
prices abroad with high prices at
home, at which the bill is aimed. Such
a statement will be a legitimate and
useful contribution to the discussion
of the tariff and its abuses which is
bound to take place during the next
few months. The favors secured to
the foreign customer as compared
with the home customer of the pro-
tected industries are one of the weak
est and sorest spots for the protec-
tionists in the whole tariff business.
Mr.. Suffers bill is plain and search
ing test of the boosted patriotism of
the supporters and beneficiaries of
the system.

MR.. BROWNS ADDRESS

Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, candidate
for Governor before the June prim-
aries, has issued his address to the
voters of Georgia. He devotes the
greater part of it to a review of the
administration of Gov. Smith. He
has certainly handled the record of
the reform Governor in such a
manner as to disclose a very wide gap
between the promise and the deed.
OF course it will not be proper to
give too much credit to Mr.. Brown
for this service, for the task was
an easy one. The railroad question,
the Confederate pensions, port rates
or the railroad commissioner what
ever point the attack is made the de-
lenses are weak.
On the subject of prohibition, where
the Atlanta Journal has been MAX
ing desperate stand to convince the
people that Mr.. Brown is opposed to
