An Fra Of Good Feeling.

Af'W A'i n iNn0f
The spectacle presented by Presi-
dent Taft and the Democratic leaders
is pleasant and unusual Here is an
extra session which viii last, in all
likelihood. well on into the summer
BY the time Il is over the national
conventions will he less than a year
away. Another Presidential election
is so near that tho voter is beginning
to sit up and take notice. He viii
remember many Of the things done at
this session Both the President and
the Democratic leaders have strong
motives for trying to please him.
Nevertheless tho President and the
Democrats have decided not to stick
tacks Into each other Tho Presi-
dent wants them to vote first on Ca
madam Reciprocity. q measure which
/ he believes will be as popular after
/ It gets to work as II Is now. The
! Democrats have agreed to vote first on
/ Canadian Reciprocity. though many Of
them share the Presidents delusion
as to its ultimate popularity with the
public. I'm other words. both parties
have decided to play the political
game like gentlemen. II Is a good
sign. This Is not the spirit in which
the game was played not so very many
years ago. Brethren. an era Of good
feeling is upon us.
And yet-and yet-the cynical
thought will recur to the cynical
mind. Since the Democrats. most of
them, really believe i'm Canadian
Reciprocity, what excuses could they
| give II they didn't vote for Il? And
since President Taft cannot get rid Of
Congress. even at an extra session,
except I'm case of disagreement be-
tween the two houses, did he have ia
strain his magnanimity before he
promised not to do any proroguinr
until the Democrats had had all the
time they wanted? Nevertheless, an
era Of good feeling has dawned. Lei
us rejoice.

Editorial Opinion
War ON the Houseny.

Chester Times.
All the people and all the cities
and towns should join in the crusade
against the housefy that has been
started by the women's clubs. The
reasons advanced by these clubs
are not fanciful, but based upon COM
mon sense and good medical and
scientific advice.
In the first place the fly is a Rthy
insect. That should be sufficient Tea-
son for barring Il from the house,
the store or other places where peo-
pie live or work.
The fly carries disease, because II
haunts filth piles; and that is a highly
important reason for putting up bar
riers against It.
But the war against the fly should
not be confined TO the homes Every
dealer i'm food stuffs should be COM
PEELED to take some measures of pro-
lection against the swarms that haunt
such stores. Not only should the
health authorities insist upon the
use Of screen doors, but that screens
be placed over meats that are exposed
on the counters. on boxes containing
cakes and other edibles and that i'm
every way pNnaiuAf rules Oh ftedIiil-
ness be enforced.
The crusade should not end here
those who do the purchasing for the
household should patronize only those
merchants who observe the rules Of
health and endeavor to keep their food
stuifs free from the taint Of the fly.
The way 30 circumvent the fly is to
begin early. Screens should be plac-
ed ON all Of the windows and doors
of the houses before the time for
the advent Of the pest In the mean
time attention should he given by the
health authorities to places that
breed flies. We have never given
that phase of the subject attention
here. but that is one OF the most i'm
portant features OF the crusade.

THE ROAD AND THE TOWNS.

~ ESIDENTS of some Of the Delaware towns
~ have expressed fear that the DUPONT road
viii not 60 near them. They seem to think that
il will 60 in an out-of-theway place and that the
citizens will be forced to pay for the maintenance
Of the highway, although they will get direct
benefit from it
Some of the fearful ones even say that so far
as they concerned there might as we'll be no
highway if it is to shun the towns and centers of
population
According to the statement Of General DUPONT
printed in The Journal Monday the plans as
to The direct route of the road are as yet very
indefinite
General DUPONT is open TO suggestions. and as
time goes on he will want to hear from the people
He says there is strong sentiment in
some places in favor Of the road going through
the towns.
With reference to this question of the road going
through the towns, General DUPONT spoke in his
interview with The Journal, and The Journal re-
peats it SO that his statement may be considered
as follows
The streets are in many instances too narrow and
crooked and likely TO run in a line parallel
TO the proposed road No arrangement has been made
with the municipal authorities; each case must be
handled separately according TO local circum-
stances.
Assuming that the Commissioners feel location
through certain town is desirable and that wants
the road; " the town would give right of way from
its northern TO s southern boundary, say one hundred
fee wide running practically parallel to the survey
va Wv ivhu1 nhoulu pass necessary ordinances 10
properly maintain the road AT all times the said right
OF way tobe one of the present streets widened per-
haps, or an enrely street as might be determined
would then consider building through that town. say
four roads l6 feet wide and two sidewalks separated
Dy grass plots and trees or curbng; one road each
way to be used for vehicles pulled by animals man
and one road each way for motor propelled vehicles,
then share the additional with the town bear
ing the lions share myself; the amount would be
governed by the adopted plan. The town might we'll
give 200 feet and have more beautiful and attractive
boulevard for its people
you understand ! only speaking on general
lines Details too numerous TO mention in the space
you allow for this article would have TO be con-
sidered"
Our advice to the towns that fear they might
be shut off is to get busy at once. If the road
does not go through the towns, or near the towns
it seems to us that it will be the fault of the cti-
zenS OF those towns.

tion of the kidneys.

organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way. serious results are
sure TO follow. According TO health
statistics. Bright's disease which Is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909. in the State of New
York alone. Therefore. II behooves
us 20 pay more attention 10 the health

WHAT CIVIC SPIRIT CAN DO.

HE City Of Reading Pa. has raised $4,000
~ for the erection of a new Young Mems
Christian Association building, and the Reading
Herald is proud OF the fact, The Herald is glad
that the association is to have fine new struc-
ture, but it is also pleased because Of the civic
spirit shown in the raising of the money.
IL seems that just typical citizens put their
shoulders 10 the wheel and set the fund rolling.
From a small accumulation the fund grew and
grew. Many of those who contributed we're per-
sons inactive in church work, and one Of the most
active was a Hebrew merchant with" as the
Herald says theological tenets directly opposed
to the Christian church, yet typifying in his
tvty far more of the real spirit Of modern Chris
tanity than some thousands whose names are
written big church rolls"
AS the Herald says, the civic spirit displayed is
one OF the most commendable things about the
movement Occasionally we refer to matters in
Reading because the metropolis of Berks county
in many respects is similar to Wilmington We led
Reading in the accumulation Of a fund for our
own Young Mems Christian Association building
and we probably had the same experience that
Reading has passed through
For many years the Association languished in
this city II had no decent headquarters no rooms
worthy of the name Of the Association Then il
was proposed TO build a home Some said il
could not he done. They did not think our peo-
pie would subscribe But il was done The people
did become interested. The building one of the
finest in the city, was erected, and the association
is doing good work
The civic spirit displayed in Wilmington in the
construction of this building could be displayed
on other occasions if we only made up our minds
10 do so.
The same spirit that marked the building Of the
Y. NJ c. A. structure could be displayed in our
Board of Trade and its efforts
If we just determined that VIC should have a
new City Hall il would come about
If we determined that our city government
should be overhaued and a new charter secured
we should get new charter
If we determined that Wilmington needed new
hotel building we should get that budingsbefore
very long.
If We determined that we should have a civic
building and this is at present dream-we
should get one.
The Journal thinks there should be a civic build
ing, headquarters for various organizations Of
the city, for the Board of Trade, the Civic AsSo-
citation, which is going to become a strong factor
civic building that would be a meeting place for
all sorts of organizations. Think about it,
