TwENTY-oNE YEARS OLD.

M lIH this issue THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL is twenty-one years old, and the
management takes this occasion to thank the
patrons and friends of the paper, the subscribers
and the advertisers for the generous treatment
y mas received at their hands. THE JOUR-
NAl. for some years had an erratic existence
owing TO various causes and the difficulty of
printing newspaper in field which was al
ready crowded and which was being encroached
upon continually bv newspapers from other cities
that circulate in Wilmington
A newspaper represents the community 1t
IS what the community makes it and by the
newspapers the outside world Srgely Judges the
city from which they proceed. II is therefore
matter of some importance, a matter of civic
pride that people should support the newspa-
pers OF the city in which they live
1t may be said without boastng that the Will
mington newspapers, considering tho support
they receive. are as good as the newspapers rep
resenting any other city of similar size
During the last few years our newspapers
have been patronized more largely by the mcr-
chants. More money is being spent for adver-
Using by the merchants as the city progresses
and advances in a commercial way The mer-
chants realize that advertising pays
The years of the existence Of THE JOURNAL
have been marked by astonishing changes in
the newspaper field. This could be illustrated
no better than by comparison Of the plant of
TIE JOURNAL at the time when it
founded and at the present day. Then almost
all the equipment could be put in a very small
space Now there is at Fourth and Shpey
streets a large equipment containing some of
the finest machinery in Wilmington and repre-
senting an outlay of many thousands of dol
lars.
THE JOURNAL. has felt that this expense
is justified, and our judgment has been proved
correct by results Every day THE JOURNAL
is making new friends and patrons. II shall be
our effort in the future as it has been during the
past two years to publish a newspaper that is
TO print the news fairly and without bias. That
is the purpose towards which we are directing
all our energies.
THE JOURNAL. is now on a sound and sub
stanta basis and we would be ungratefu if
we did not deeply appreciate the patronage ex-
tended TO the paper and the many kind words
said about it,

GETTING THE new
PARKS IN SHAPE
Playground Adjoining Eden
Park and Two Places Along
the ChFiStiana

The warm weather has sent scores of
active youngsters and grown -ups'' TO
the city parks, and the playground
season for Wilmington has virtually
begun, although the season has not
been formally opened.
Summer work on all the city parks
was begun at the beginning Of tn.
warm weather. and fountains are run
ming, walks have been cleaned and
lawns have been cut to the acme Of
neatness.
There viii be a number OF new
parks this summer. the most import
ant OF which will be "Christiana
Park" leased by the Pennsylvania
Railroad in return for permission to
lay water pipes across city streets
This park comprises Che entire plot
beyond the Pennsylvania elevation at
the foot of Fourth street, and extend
TO the Christiana river front an.
from Third to Fourth streets. The
tract is now being prepared for the
summer invasion of fresh-air seekers.
and is expected to be ready to be
termed a real park within two or
three weeks. The ground is being
graded. and trees will be planted and
walks laid. The ground is in one
of the most densely populated sections
Of the city. and hundreds are await
ing its completion. Being near the
river front, it is probable that It will
be the favorite lounging place OF all
the parks, except Brandywine Park.
Another riverside park TO come into
the possession Of the city is the wharf
and ground on the Christiana river.
near Market street bridge, donated by
the Water Commissioners. II is plen-
ned To sod the tract. place benches
at convenient places. plant some trees.
and 10 make 1t otherwise convenient
for fresh air seekers. Nothing has
as yet been done toward converting
the tract into a park. but work will
be begun on IL as soon as the Park
Commissioners have completed labor

BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS.

I He movement Of the Wilmington teachers
\ to secure higher pay is but part of an
attempt throughout the country of the teachers
to get better pecuniary reward for their
labors The complaint is general that salaries
are low. Teachers are demanding more money.
In New York the teachers stormed the Legs-
lature for an advance in pay Just as in this city
they recently made an effective demonstration
before City Council as representing the taxpay-
ers
Unfortunately the pay Of teachers as we'll as
that of women in other employments has been
far too low The salaries OF ministers are smaller
than they should be. Eminent college pro-
fessors often receive slight compensation.
1t is commonplace to dwell on the importance
of the duties OF teachers, but we should not lose
sight OF such duties As children are more and
more neglected in their homes the greater be-
comes the responsibility of teachers. Our pub
lice schools are far from being what they should
be, the instruction is frequently defective the
pupils course is too often distinguished by what
he did not learn, but how we going to inn
plove matters unless we give the teachers living
wages and thus encourage them to continue in
the occupation as a profession!

pIsoRGANIzEp DEMOCRATS

a S an opposition party the Democrats have
1 n been making spectacle Of themselves in
Washington. The Democrats have many mem
bers of Congress who ought to constitute a
formidable minority. If they ever had chance
to build up their party, to let by-gones be by
cones that opportunity has been during the pres
ent session of Congress. But even at the
ganization of the House they failed TO stand to-
gether. Some of them went to Speaker Cannon
and others broke through all semblance of party
discipline. In the Senate il has been worse than
for years. Senators who have been spouting free
trade and tariff for revenue for the last two de-
cades have voted against lowering the duties on
certain things. In some instances a considerable
majority of the Democratic Senators have voted
against lower duties. This was true in the vote
on free iron ore. The Democrats fairly rushed
TO the support of Aldrich.
1t is gratifying TO those interested in Whining
ton industries TO notice that Senator dupont,
ever watchful of the interests of Delaware voted
for free iron orc Had the Democrats been at
all true TO their pretensions, VIC should have
free iron ore. On many other schedules the
Democrats have done nothing 10 justify the pre-
sumption that they are the party Of the opposi-
ton. They appear in Congress as a disorgan-
ized mass. willing to vote for anything that may

Some cities arc increasing the requirements

with an increase in requirements there will so
an advance in pay. The Board of Education
OF Chester, has adopted resolution providing
that to be eligible to appointment the High
School teaching staff an instructor must be
graduate Of a regular college or OF the Chester
High School. In the latter instance the appl-
cant must also have taught not fewer than five
years and must have completed at least two
full years of work in a collegiate grade. 1t Is

who may be qualified for teaching although they
have not had training in regular collegiate

At the WASHINGTON

Having elements of fun and
amusement, the program which is
to be presented at the Washington
next week is more than ordinary
from the opening number to the
pictures. Truly the most mar
velous and daring aerial spectacle
that Spokane has ever known will
be seen in the act offered by Del
more & Lee, who come to the
Washington next week as the spe-
cial feature attraction. These ar
fists perform feats which have
been accomplished by no other per-
formers on earth. While suspend
ed from a revolving ladder and
turning at rate of 70 revolutions
per minute these two men perform
most hazardous feats. Never be-
fore was danger so fearlessly
tempted as in this hazardous fea-
ture. George Delmore and Robert
Lee both are splendid specimens
of manhood
