should he be elected the people will Sc
cure the services of good man.

lines and is as reliable as the best.

sussEx ROAD ENGINEER.

~ HE Sussex Levy Court convenes again to-
4 morrow when the effort to elect a road
engineer will be renewed, but the Sussex Journal
thinks that there will be no immediate election.
The Journal however, adds that IT has been
assured that the court will stay in session from
day to day until some one is chosen and the Jour
nal favors this plan.
Some of the petty politicians give as a reason
for not electing a road engineer that It would be
death to the partv in power, just they say that
the party which should undertake the erection OF
a new court house would be politically killed
The Journal pertinenty says, "What an abb
surdty. Then if that argument holds good, we
presume that whatever party in power does fo-
the betterment of the conditions of the county,
for the citizens that it will pass into nothingness.
lust as much sound sane argument in this as
there is in that the election OF a road engineer or
improvements to the court house will mean death
to the Republican party, for that organization
dominates at the present time.
This is the view of the leading Democratic
paper i'm Sussex. 1t is obvious that If the Re
publicans should go about their business in a
sensible manner, elect a road engineer, improve
the roads. and improve the county court house,
they would be commended by The Journal and
not condemned--that is of course provided money
WAS not wasted in making Improvements.
According TO the other view the "mossback
and "pullback element is strong in Sussex that
it could defeat any party that advocated improve
ments This might have been sound stuff years
ago when people spoke of "poor Sussex but II
should not be so today. The growth of Sussex
in wealth the fact that in material progress i
has surpassed any other rural part of the state,
should be proof positive that the county can
afford 10 make improvements such as the George
town Journal speaks of.

As to the management of the liz
brary however, Wilmington need have
no shame, for in this respect she is
already abreast Of other cities of her
size, and indeed, ahead Of many OF
them. But TO have such a good selec-
ton Of books, and so good a Library
staff. and have them in the present
caricature Of a Library, is most in
congruous. TO say the least, and most
unfair 10 our very able Librarian and
Board of Directors.
AS a citizen of Wilmington, and in
terested in the all around development
of the community, l would suggest that
before we take up anything else, we
should house our Free Library in a
manner behtting its importance anc
development. Wilmington needs nc
outside multi millionaire to give us q
Library with a string tied to IT, What
IL does need, is the awakening OF all
its. citizens in this snatter. regardless
of creed or race, since the Library
serves all, and is a fundamental, mum
icipal institution.

The offer is all the more remarkable considering
that in other labor disputes of this character
there has been little effective arbitration. The

make the suggestion,but it came voluntarily from
the company. If the men accept the offer,

Whether the trouble is adjusted by this means

dent Willard for his action, which may result in
imposing considerable additional expense upon
the company
Some say that such matters should be settled
without outside interference, and while this
view may be plausible as a general thing, those
who urge it do not recognize the fact that public
service corporations are on basis different from
private business enterprises.
The offer of President Willard is all the more
commendabe and timely in view of the troubles

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Dear Sir: I read in the columns of
your paper of February "A an article
complaining of the Stanton car service.
and it was true to the word. / have
no corrections to make, but should like
to add a word to it which the regular
rider" omitted. 1 had occasion TO ride
on one of the cars recently in the
evening and it was the coolest berth
I have been in this winter. You could
actually bear your hand on any heater
in the car. all the way from Stanton
to Wilmington without the least danger
Of burning it, Now these conditions
should not be tolerated. It is not only
detrimental to the comfort of the pas
sengers, but endangers their lives also.
as they are likely to contract a severe
cold. which might result seriously.
These cold cars are particularly bad
for the children who attend school in
Wilmington. There have been several
days this winter when it was unsafe
for them to go to school. The half
hours ride is entirely too long in cold
weather without heat. The service we
have on these cars is an imposition
when you consider the enormous fare
the company charges for the ride be-
tween Stanton and Wilmington
Yours respectfully.
Citizen.

Strikes.
Dover Index.

Dover Index.
The Philadelphia street car strike has
assumed serious proportions. A strike.
interfering as it does with all lines of
business, is always TO be regretted. There
are so many phases Of the present sltua-
ton that the comment which we make
must need be fragmontary. Capital has
without question the right to protect it,
self, and in case of outbreaks marked with
violence or destruction Of property the po-
lice authorities should be invoked, and
If necessary, the militia. Labor has at the
same time, tho right to organize and to
protect itself. The individual laborer
without organization Is at the mercy of
the combinations Of capital. 1t is only by
union and thorough organization that the
individual laborers are able to combat the
gigantic corporations OF to-day.
Without going into the merits OF tn.
case OF the present strike. 1t can be safe.
" asserted that both the traction com.
pany and its employees are heavy losers
by the strike, and Il is to the interest OF
both parties that the difficulties be ad.
justed as speedily as possible. The limo.
cent public, however, is frequently the
heaviest loser by labor disturbances. The
right OF persons in no way parties to the
strike to do business is interfered Will
and their property destroyed. To the credit
Of the strikers It may be truthwully saie
that the acts OF violence are almost al
ways the acts OF boys and irresponsibl,
men.

POSTAL BANKS IN CANADA.

II HOSE who have been objecting to the estab-
Il fshment Of postal savings banks think
that a great deal Of money would be converted
into the national treasury and that the regular
savings banks would be injured Only the
actual operation of such banks definitely
prove whether this view is correct, but the ex-
perence of Canada with postal savings banks
does not support the apprehension of the critics
of the proposed system in this country
Canada has been greatly prospecting of late, and
last year. it is said, the flood tide of that
prosperity During the past six years the de-
posts in the Canadian postal banks have fallen
off a trihe, and the last year there was loss Of
about FIVE per cent.
Canada has had postal banks for forty-two
years but the total amount of their deposits does
not equal the deposits of a single one of the large
savings banks in any of our big cities. On the
other hand, Canada has many regular banks rich
with deposits.
Judging by the experience OF Canada, the pos
tai banks in this country would merely bring to
light some Of the money that is boarded by
people who are distrustfu of regular banks,
Such banks would be a convenience TO those who
are far removed from regular banks and they
would not interfere with the financial situ9ton or
welfare of the banks which enjoy the confidence
of the public

WILMINGTON NEEDS
NEW LIBRARY BUILDING

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Wilmington has population of
about 10000 and Free Library Build
ing CD that would be a disgrace to
town OF $4,000. The city of Spring
field, Mass. which is not as large as
Wilmington, has lately erected Pub
lie Library Building costing over $780,
600. The Springfield Committee wrote
to other cities, asking for photographs
Of their Libraries in order that collec-
tion of them might be exhibited as a
feature Of the opening. None was sent
from Wilmington, for the reason that
IL did not seem wise to make public
the fact that our Library Building was
nothing more than a second story
back room, absolutely out of date, so
far as equipment is concerned.
