IRON In THE BLOOD

is an essential element to health
When It is insufficient or lacking,
there is a dearth of red blood cor
puscles, which causes anaemia and a
rundown condition of the entire sys-
TEN. with consequent bodily weakness.
In order to restore the blood to a
healthy condition, iron must be sup
piled in an easily assimilated form
We guarantee this may be done by
Vinol. our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, made without oil.
This combination of two world-fam-
ed tonics, restores to the blood the
elements lacking to make rich, red
blood which imparts strength and
vitality to every organ in the body
J. Edmund Miller of New Haven
Conn. says their little girl had beer
frail and sickly ever since her birth
Vinol was recommended and they triel
IL. and Immediately noticed an i'm
provement in her condition. They con
tinued it's use and it built her up. un
til they cannot recommend Il too high
ly TO build up a weakened system. n

TAPPING THE MAYOR.

MAYOR SPRUANCE must be thinking some
i l. queer things these days. Our versatile
neighbor the Sunday Star is knocking" the
Mayor, gentle quiet taps, but not love taps.
Some persons have held that the alleged dis
agreement between the Mayor and Mr. Ford, the
Democratic leader, frame up, but after the
remarks Of The Star we hardly think so
Our neghbor finds fault with the Mayor for
seeking the Office And yet on the other hand
some citizens have been saying that the candidates
for Mayor should state their position, tell the
people where they stand on public questions
The Mayor responded to this sentiment, and he
got dispeased twinkle from The Star
However, we see no objection TO the Mayor
stating his views and letting the people know his
position. He has high precedent for making such
statements
In the present condition of affairs of Whining
ton the Mayors attitude is much better than if
he we're TO maintain a clam-like silence
But we regret to see the apparent friction be-
tween the Mayor and our able neighbor In the
old playground days all drank buttermilk and ate
crackers together a feast of good cheer that in
this cruel world The Journal always likes to see
What has been the extent of the offending of the
Hon. J. Harvey Spruance? We trust he won't re-
ply by throwing some of Mr.. Murphys bricks at
The Star.

cITY CouNCLs MIDDLE.

- ~ITY COUNCILS effort to extricate itself
~ from serious financial situation does not
meet the approval Of the local newspaper that
supported the Democratic candidates at the last
municipal election
The Councilmen are in pretty tight box but
the people fully understand the situation and no
amount of juggery can obscure the facts. Coun-
ellis excuse that the alleged illegal status OF the
CITY government had something 20 do with the
present cramped condition of the citys finances
Is laughed at by the Democratic newspaper as It
is by others
The truth of the matter seems to be that there
would have been deficit under any management
hut il has been worse under Democratic manage
ment Council doubtless now realizes the FOLLY
of buying the land in the western part OF the city
for playground purposes. And If Council should
sell the Rodney Street Reservoir property, the
tumble of bad business would be worse.
We fancy that the voters will think it time TO
make a change. Certainly they must realize that
as a general manager of the affairs of the city
Mr. Kane the chairman of the Finance Committee,
is not shiningly successful. We had better try
someone else The Republicans, we think, could
do better At any rate tn ; ought to have trial
The Democratic admir.strat started long on
promises but IL has b en- short in performances
We did really expect when the Democrats issued
their procla'ng g@rrs during the last municipal
>campaiqp ;iat they intended TO do something sub
stanhsl and worthy Of praise If entrusted with the
reins of the city government But once in power
that deusion dispelled
AS we said. we think the Republicans would do
better but Wilmington will not have good city
government until our municipal machinery is
thoroughly overhauled People must appreciate
the fact that the management Of city is really
the management Of big industrial concern.
Would the stockholders of a great concern, for
example, select our present City Council as
Board of Directors? We don't think the stock
holders Of great concern would select any OF
our councils during the last decade or so as man
ayers of giant corporation.
We mean no particular reflection on Council in
this matter, for there arc many Of us that could
do no better than Council has done. What we do
mean is that for the government Of city like Viii
mington the very best business talent possible to
obtain should be secured.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

A CCORDlNG TO reports received by Senator
1 y Brown of Nebraska, who fathered the in
come tax amendment TO the constitution, thirty of
the forty-six States have ratified the amendment
and only five more are needed to make the amend
ment operative. Three-fourths Of the States are
required. Five Louisiana, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island West Virginia and New Jersey have voted
against the amendment
The lower House of the Virginia Legislature has
opposed the amendment the New York Senate ap-
proved it the other day. and it is expected that the
lower House of New York, which rejected the
amendment last year, will reverse itself The
amendment is pending in Florida Minnesota
and Massachusetts with fair prospects of being
passed by the Legislature in all these States.
No action whatever has been taken by Vermont
Connecticut. Wyoming, Pennsylvania Utah and
Delaware. The question was not even considered

SMALL INDUSTRIES.

that one hundred small industries may be of

wealth of a city than a single mammoth industry

The Maryland metropolis intends to offer in
ducements to small industries. II is pointed out
that New York city is the greatest manufacturing
community in the country, but it is said that New
York has no great industries. II has reached its
pre-euinence because Of the large number of
smaller manufacturing concerns There arc 10000
industries in New York with working capitals
ranging from 5000 70 $4,000.

The Rev. DR. Thomas Armitage was,
in his lifetime, recognized as the ablest
and most influential Baptist clergyman
i'm the United States. Although he was
an Englishman by birth, not coming
TO the United States until he was near
his majority, nevertheless there was
no natiye-born American who ever ex-
ceeded him in patriotic ardor, nor was
there any clergyman who gave service
of greater value to the Union at the
time of the Civil War. He was for years
the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church in New York. commonly known
as John d. Rockefellers church, al
though during his pastorate Mr.. Rock
efeller was not a member of the con-
gregation.
Dr. Armitage was an intimate per-
sonal friend of the first American
cardinal Archbishop McCloskey, and
he was at the time of the Civil War in
very intimate relations with Arch
bishop John Hughes, whom President
Lincoln sent to Europe as special
plenipotentiary, representing the Pres
ident, in the winter Of 1852. DR.. Arm
itage was, therefore. very widely
recognized by American Roman Cath
olics as one of the clergymen of the
Protestant denominations who, like
| Henry Ward Beecher. maintained init
mate personal and social relations with
the leading prelates of the Church of
Rome in America.

cd TO be slight accident or misunder-

Rev. DR.. Burchard, would have spoken
