There was nothing very remarkable
about the invitation ! found on my
desk last week. save that / was asked

the bathing and It was only because
the family exchequer had been struck
By the financial panic that the SUM

person who is grateful that the
Blanks" had to remain at home, for
there have been a number of affairs
just as pleasant as the one herein
described.
At four o'clock. water suits were
d0uned and under the protection OF
automobile coats the run TO the beach
was made. After a Jolly splash and
an hour spent on the broad piazza the
men anne out from town and there
was a regular beach supper served
with all the comforts OF home close at
hand.
A huge driftwood fire cooked the
potatoes just TO the right turn and a
real GYPSY kettle boiled the corn.
Sawhorses with boards on top made
the table and the cloth was white pa.
per with the cutest napkins and rings
OF paper. each with a souvenir in
side. The guests went in raptures
over the dishes-I means the plates
which were Of pastebOard. each
with dainty painted flowers for deco

in sets all packed in one box.
As there have been several requests
for menus for outdoor suppers I am

RETURNS HOME

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 13-Catherine
Loersch, the 11-year-old girl. whose
abduction and mistreatment by Joseph
M. Janer, wealthy real estate man
OF Brooklyn, resulted in Janer's sent
ence to q years Imprisonment in the
Maryland penitentiary, rejoined her
family in Brooklyn to-day. The
paralytic father. and sick mother were
almost overcome when the pale and
trembling slip Of girl, clearly showing
evidences Of her terrible experience.
stole timidly into the home after an
absence of five weeks in the House of
the Good Shepherd in Baltimore. 10
which city she was abducted.
Mrs. Janer. wife Of the convicted
man, also returned to Brooklyn. an
parently satisfied with the punishment
inflicted on her husband. It is report
ed that she affected a settlement with
him, before he was led away to prison
by which she and her children have the
full enjoyment of his big estate.
No attempt will be made to secure
a new trial for Janer. as his counsel

MEMORIES

HE formal announcement of Mr.. Washing
a ton Hastings that he is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Mayor at the
coming primary election brings up thoughts OF
past and present political life in Delaware. What
memories are aroused when one considers this
matter because Mr.. Hastings is of the old Re-
publican guards of the State, one who was ac-
tive in the party when it was in the minority,
struggling for many years, and he has lived to
see the party dominant in Delaware, with the
prospect of remaining in the ascendency for
many years to come. He is a connecting link be-
tween the past and the present, alert in his inn
pressions of both periods. He was in the party
during the trying times OF the Civil War and
the stirring days that followed when partisan
feeling ran high in Delaware, feeling of which
the young men Of the present day know but
little.
What changes have happened in Delaware
during these years. Our entire system OF State
government has been practically altered and we
are enjoying the fruits of the work that was done
long ago and which eliminated in the constitu-
tional convention that. made one-sided Legisa-
lures impossible. Had the old constitution re-
mained in force, the Democrats for decade
would have been voiceless at Dover change
in the administration Of county offices and in
the qualifications OF voters has been es-
tablished. The people have louder voice to-
day than they ever had. Think OF the county
officers that in the old days were appointed by

GOVERNORS GOOD sPEEcH

III IS address at the dinner OF the Board of
l. n Trade on Thursday evening confirms, if
further confirmation is needed, the estimate we
placed upon Governor Pennewill during the
campaign We think those who heard the adj
dress were pleased with the sentiments expressed
by the Governor The Governor is broadening
in every way. The cordial reception given him
by those at the dinner shows that he will be
welcome guest at affairs in this city whenever he
chooses to come here
Mr.. Pennewill has had much experience as
legislator; he is thoroughly acquainted with
Delaware affairs and he is deeply interested in
his native State. There is much truth III the
statement made by the Governor that the people
of Kent and Sussex are better acquainted with
Wilmington than Wilmingtonians are with the
affairs of the lower counties. But Wilmington is
beginning to know more and more about lower
Delaware and the Board of Trade is doing much
to bring about this extended knowledge
The Governor pleaded for State pride and his
words in this respect are well worth bearing in
mind. We have made too much of county lines
The interests of the counties and of the city
should be identical when it comes TO thinking
over matters that affect the welfare and progress
OF the State.
Mr. Pennewill commended the commercial
progress that Wilmington. has been making
The Governor is a wide traveller, close observer
and, he. like Others, must have noticed the
changes taking place on Market street and in the
ctncl business lnoTOugntareS; tndt We nave bet
ter stores than ever and that we are now in
position to supply the wants OF the people, no
matter from where they may come
The Governor also spoke upon the politics Of
municipalities The storm of applause which
greeted his sentiment that he was inclined to
think there was too much politics in municipal
government showed the temper of his audience
il is becoming palmer and palmer every day that
the business men OF community are regarding
municipality as a business corporation that
should be administered on business principles.
Sentiments similar to those held by the Gov
ernor have been expressed by many other leaders
Of public thought who are working for good
government. Our municipal politics should have
but one object in vew-eficient administration
oi public affairs.
The Governor told OF some OF the difficulties
that confront members of the General Assembly
cne OF which is to ascertain what is the response
ble sentiment -of the people of a community re-
garding legislation. How is a legislator going
TO egislate ntegenty unless the people tell
him what they think should be done A leeis-
ator wants light on all questions that come be-
fore him, and if legislator fails to act in accord
ance with what may seem to be the best pub
lie sentiment. It is often because it is not sufh-
GENTLY informed of what that sentiment is
Many other things were briefly touched upon by
the Governor in his address. We feel that we
but express the sentiments of those who heard
the address when we congratulate Mr. Penne-
will upon the very favorable impression he made
at the dinner.

GOOD THINGS AT THE DINNER

g 0 many good things were said at the Board
~ of Trade dinner that it is hard to tell
where TO end in considering them. We fancy
that Mr. Barrett's remarks about the develop
ment of the South American nations was an eye
opener TO many who have had but casual in
terest in the industrial and commercial affairs of
that part of the world. Certain it is that South
American offers a wide field for cultivation of
United States trade. Wilmington should be par
tcularly interested in this development As
Mr.. Barrett says our products go to every part
OF the world and any development of trade rela-
tons between South and North America must
benefit this city.
Mr.. Schwab again praised Wilmington as a
manufacturing city His address was altogether
optimistic Wilmington has great future be-
fore her, and what this city may accomplish Fe-
pends largely upon the energy of our citizens.

in its efforts to advance the cause Of Whining

Board have every reason to be encouraged.

political effect-of the salaries of the Court
House officials, but such compensation for them
seems small when we consider what tho Demo-

Then again consider the changes made in the
method OF voting. We have manhood suffrage
now whereas we formerly had the old assess
ment collection and delinquent laws. All that
has been done away with and the man of either

ANTI TUBERCULOSIS

It HE delegation that urged the General AS
N sembly to make an appropriation of $I5-
600 TO assist in the work OF the Anti-Tuberculo-
Sis Society was an imposing gathering of cit-
zens who must have greatly impressed the Leg
islators.
But the visitors must have been chilled when
Senator Sparks informed them that the prospec-
tive expenditures of the State for the year prom
ise to exceed the receipts by more than $4,000,
and the Senator wanted to know il the people Of
the State desired bonds to be issued in order to
secure money with which to carry on the work
OF the Anti-Tuberculosis Society
There is little doubt as to the answer to that
question No matter how anxious we might be
to aid the work of the society public sentiment
would not favor a bond issue for that purpose.
The purses OF private charity should be opened
to aid this cause and the State should give'a sum
that will assist but do not think it is prepared
to start in on the wholesale plan.
The matter of the appropriation is another case
of cutting the garment according to the cloth
that is, of making the best use of the financial
resources available.
