It shows Wall Streets true modesty
that II should have been so vastly
pleased over the Right Reverend gem
tlemsns very obvious defence of a
great institution. For, after all, he
was but talking good economics and
good sense when he said;
Any plan which in any way would
destroy the workings Of Wall Street
is crazy one and monstrous alb
surdity. Notwithstanding that not a
grain or wheat nor an ear of corn
grows I'm this centre, nevertheless the
buildings here hold those who fur
nish sinews for millions on millions
Of acres Of agricultural products and
those who guide the transportation of
millions of tons of those things which
sustain the lives not only of the peo-
pie of this country but in some way
Of the people OF every country In the
world.
But Wall Street cannot forget that
for years, owing to the rawlings of
demagogues, visitors from various
parts OF the country, including Mis-
souri,, where DR.. Tuttle's see is sit
uated, used TO regard our financial
district as the very hub Of the
"enemy's country" It was natural
that this unthinking prejudice, induc-
ed by the Populistic-Democratic ora
tors, should be very irritating to a
body Of men who are always anxious
to please.
That a distinguished churchman
should feel called upon to rebuke a
senseless error shows TO what an ex-
tent Il has ceased to be accepted even
by the most remote and ignorant COM
munities.

A Word About Faultfnders.

It is remarkable how some men dis
cuss matters that should be of 10 in
terest TO them whatever. They even
delve into private affairs. In fact but
uiile II ANYTHING escape them. ls il
because men a-e jealous Of their fell
lowmen. Of the positions they hold =?
Do they believe that some men are
getting what Is not due them?
Institutions of every description re-
ceive full share Of their criticism.
The idea creeps into the faultfinder's
brain that things are not going right.
Ihat there IS something wrong, and
It Is his self-appointed duty TO
straighten matters.
Such men are not what one would
consider a blessing TO any communi-
". They are agitators. and love to
bring trouble to every one but them
selves. Give them half q chance and
they can inJure any institution that
has taken years 10 build. II gives
them pleasure TO do this. They have
never been known to have a good
word for any one or any institution.
Their object is "a injure II possible.
Can one imagine any Of these fault
finders having q good word for their
town or any of its institutions. oh.
no. The sweet morsel that can be
rolled under the tongue would be
gone, and they would be without oc-
cupation.

DEMOCRATIC TROuRLES.

HE argument that the Democrats should re-
- main in control of Wilmington because they
made better showing than did the Republicans
is not likely 10 hold water
How about all the promises Of the Democrats Of
what fine government they would give us Be
II remembered that they issued proclamatons de-
nouncing the Republican organization
Now it is argued that because the Legislature
did not come up TO the expectations of some peo-
pie, the Republicans cannot be entrusted with
control OF the city This is reasoning quite fooshly
II the premises were admitted to be correct
The Democrats missed great opportunity TO
give the city push forward But the trouble with
them is that they are between the devil and the
deep sea-
If they really do anything in Delaware that Is
progressive that is worth while, they are con-
demned by their local newspaper That newspaper

THE CENSUS AND DELAWARE.

MJE DO NOT believe that any Delawarean who
w is interested in the progress of the State
is satisfied with the showing made by Delaware
in the census
Wilmington gained in population it is true
but the gain was not so great as il should have
been. The course that Wilmington should pursue
during the next ten years is clesr. We should
wake up
But Wilmington did better than the towns Of
the State Dover made considerable progress, nat
urally because it is the State capital Bridgeve
and Newark and few other smaller places made
a good showing Milford about held its own, Lewes
didn't do much worth speaking Of and some Of
the towns actually lost considerable population.
On the whole the State barely held its own IL that.
All of which should set those who are concern
ed about the State to thinking The next decade
should he very energetic one for Delaware. There
arc some good reasons for this opinion Apple
culture. for example is gaining fine hold in
Delaware II ought 10 do more for us than peach
culture did in the past More fruits and veget-
ables are being raised, and more should be cuti-
waited

tered upon a campaign for a progressive Della

right fashion. The dupont road is also

of all embarrassment respecting

of all embarrassment respecting
currency.
Our first talk upon this subject
was informal, but even then Mr..
Spaulding had in mind the issuing
of legal-tender notes. I, on the other
hand. had iD mind the creation OF a
national banking system, because I be-
lieved that the banks, If nationalized,
would furnish a great market for
Government bonds, and that these
bonds could be utilized as security
for national bank notes. I told Mr.,
Spaulding with great positiveness
that II we had a national banking
system, a national bank note issued by
Maine bank would pass current in
California.
well, we had a good many talks
and l went over to Washington very
often in connection with the matter.
saw that Mr.. Spaulding was committed
to the legal-tender note plan, although
he expressly told me that a currency
issued of that kind was only justified
as war measure. But he warmly ac
cepted the main feature of my ma
tional banking plan, and he drafted
the original bills which provided for
the issue of legal-tender notes, and
for the creation OF the national bank
ing system.
Immediately after the national
bank act was passed, I organized the
first national bank, certainly In the
East, and I believe In the whole coun-
try. And now you have the reason
why they sometimes call me the faith
er Of the national bank, and for
many years Mr.. Spaulding was de.
signated as the father of the green
back
But why greenback?" I asked.
Simply because the first legal-ten-
der notes issued under the law were
upon their reverse side printed In
green ink. That nickname was ap-
piled to them as soon as they ap-
peared, and IL is a name which has
stuck 10 them ever since"

PAYING THE FREIGHT.

W. HEN questions of taxation or good govern
ment brought up it is customary to get
the views of heavy taxpayers" and prominent
citizens, and rightly so, but persons who are not
cassed as heavy taxpayers and prominent cti-
zens" should be considered.
Everyone in reality is a taxpayer either directly
indirectly. To be sure the property owners
pay their directly. They, TO all appearances,
the ones who foot the bills, who feel the heavy
hand Of the tax collector. Sometimes they think
they the persons who entirely support the city.
1t is SUPPOSED that actual payers of taxes only
are concerned The man who does NOT march
up to the city tax Office and pay bills may, in
careless manner, say that an increase in the tax
rate does not affect him; that il is no concern OF
his.
But in a city that is not dead or going back
ward, this view is fallacy. The renter is a tax
payer, indirectly. He is the ultimate consumer"
Capital is going to get if possible, fair return
If the taxes are higher under normal conditions
rents go up. And it too frequently happens on
many properties that rents increase fully enough
to meet the advanced tax rate and little more
Although it istrue that the taxpayers and prom
inent citizens should be concerned in good civic
government, it is equally true that the plain cti-
zen and the renter should be vitality concerned In
truth he ought to be more concerned than any
other person. II is TO his interest 10 have good
government, to see that there is no waste and ex-
travagance to see that the affairs of the city are
properly managed.
If this fact we're fully realized as il should be-
If it we're not so often overlooked, we should have
a much greater real interest in the affairs of our
city, and our civic government would be better.

JAKE THE BARBER
PHILOSOPHERS ON
WAR PRESIDENT
Guardian of Lincoln Statue Is
Interviewed by STAR
Reporter.

What do 1 think of Abraham Lin
coln ?" repeated Jake the Barber" yes
terday, when an Evening STAR man
approached him on that subject.
why, l think he is the greatest gen.
eral what aver lived,' he answered, as
he wiped big beads of perspiration first
from his broad brow and Their a few
extra splashes from the table in front
OF him.
'Jake' was asked the question be-
cause he has been recently pictured in
several poses alongside of the statue
OF the great President that graces the
plaza in front of the Court House..
Jake soon after the statue had been
unveiled was struck by the idea that
the statue would look well on his BUSH
ness cards because his place is directly
opposite 1t. But Judge William p.
Martin, who had heard of it, suggested
that photos for private distribution
would be more seemly.. So Jake" had
his picture took" in several distinctive
poses, some so distinctive that it is diff
ficult to tell who is the greater man,
Jake or Lincoln. one of the poses
has Jake" seated on the bench with
Lincoln smiling benignly like an unc
tuous alderman who has just pulled
off, a fat job. Another shows Jake"
in an altitude of reverence for the great
man, while a third suggests hat
Jake had known Lincoln years ago
and they had always been on a most
friendly footing.
Eyes, sir added Jake "as he con-
tinued the operation Of wiping great
beads of pe~rspiration from his brow,
"Washington was Il great general and
so was Lincoln. | am glad them pic
lures was AIKEN. One OF the biggest
officials in the trolley company took

of such a great man. 1 was so excited
when first sat down on that stone
bench, n it was awfully hot. just
like it is now. that l nearly sat on
Lincoln's hat.

good business is. 1 once got up at 4
o'clock in the morning to chase some
people away who had no business so
near the statute.
But" he went one. you want to
know what | think about Lincoln.
You know l am patriotic. l am also
a wholesome American. but that's all
'botsh' about Governor Wilson and
them progressives, Democrats and Re-
publicans. Lincoln wasn't like them
fellers and his face shows 1t. The
whole statute shows 1t.
why" added Jake" still oozing
words and Precipitation. when Will
son is dead there will be no statute
for him, although he is really dead al
ready. But there is a statute to Lin
coin and he will never be dead like
that Wilson, Wilson 'botshed' it all
up.''
There was only one thing more that
Jake had to say from beneath the
beady shower that trickled from his
face and it was this:
Another thing l always liked abous
Lincoln and you can say 1t for me and
