Every city has natural advantages.
otherwise Il would not be city.
Cities have been founded because Of
temporary advantages and when
these advantages failed the city de-
generated into sleepy town. Any
city that grows. by growing proves
that it has permanent advantages for
manufacturers, tradesmen and the
public at large.
Within recent years there have
been started numerous campaigns for
the benefit Of various cities through
out the country, in the effort OF
Boards of Trade and Chambers of
Commerce TO induce manufacturers
and merchants TO locate i'm the re-
spective cities.
These campaigns have featured
railroad facilities, water facilities,
sanitation, education and social ad-
Vantages, etc, but only i'm a few in
stances has the most important ele-
ments of municipal growth been fca-
tured, and that is the spirit of the
people and their attitude toward
their own city.
A city does not consist of Board
Of Trade, some manufacturers and
some merchants. but of the people as
a whole, and the attitude Of the people
in a city is more important than any
other factor in determining the de-
gree and extent of it's progress.
This is especially true in the case
Of Wilmington. We have here city
with about $1,000 inhabitants. located
only twenty-eight miles from tn,
larger city Of Philadelphia. The fu
ture development of Wilmington rest,
on the decision Of the people of vii
mington as to whether it shall be
sel-sufiicient city or an appendix t,
Philadelphia.
Every citizen of Wilmington il
either a positive or a negative fore,
in regards TO the growth of the city
The citizen who determines to do al
he can to promote the interests o
Wilmington is a positive force; th,
citizen who is indifferent is a mega
tive force.
Therefore. Wilmington's problem
cannot be solved by inducing NOR
manufacturers or more merchants tC
come to Wilmington. but by convinc
! ing the residents of Wilmington tina
their city is what they make ii. Ono,
let the manufacturers and merchant.
of the country who are seeking new
locations realize that any Wilmington
! enterprise is going to receive the
hearty and enthusiastic support ot
every resident of Wilmington, or evOr
a large majority of the residents. an,
no other inducement will be neces
sary to cause them to locate thei
enterprises in this city.
Aside from the matter of public
interest and civic pride, it is to tn,
personal and selfish interest of ever,
resident of Wilmington to do every
thing in his or her power to max,
the city grow; to make it POPULAR: {,
make it a desirable place to visit.
We would think it very foolish o.

ppIMARIEs FOR PRESIDENT.

{ A result of the progressive legislation III
N New Jersey during the last few years the
Republicans of that state find themselves IN pc
culiar position regards the eectioh Vi
10 the National Convention.
The convention is to meet on June lo' ana as
matters now stand New Jersey cannot seno uele-
oates. The newly enacted primary law calls lot
nrimarv on Nav % to elect delegates, put the
rules of the Republican National Committee pro-
vide that no delegates shall be recognized VINO are
NOT chosen thirty days before the convention
meets This means that the delegates must be Sc
lccted before May 10 -,
The forthcoming session Of the Legislature VIII
amend the primary law so that 1t shall conform
to the rules of the National Committee In order
10 hold primaries to elect delegates, the leaders
will have to become busy early in the year
Although the National Committee disapproved
of the primary plan for elccting national delegates
there is no valid reason why that plan should not
be followed in states which desire to do so.
Mr.. T. Coleman dupont member OF the National
Committee representing Delaware, has declared
for such primaries and it is possible for the Ne-
nubicans of this state to express their preferences
for the presidential nomination AS the sussex
Republican says such expression could be secured
bv permitting the voters in the district primaries
TO instruct their delegates TO the State convention
as to their choice for President.
II NAV be. however, that the voters will want an
rninstructed delegation for it cannot be said that
there has been a pronounced expression among
our voters as to the presidential nomlna-
ton. The situation, nationally speaking, is very
much unsettled with the strong probability OF the
denomination of President Taft.

INyEsTIGATING DYNAMITERs.

rHE work of the Federal authorities at Indian
apolis and Los Angeles has been so well
Guarded that its exact status cannot be learned
and lust how many labor leaders will be indicted or
involved in either city is merely matter OF con-
lecture. 40,
The fact that Burns so confident that ne mas
the goods" leads TO the supposition that before
long there will be many indictments and that the
lid will be lifted off the dynamite plot
II is well to keep in mind that the dynamlung
outrages extended Through period OF five years
and during that time more than 100 buildings
were blown up. Strange TO say, these operations
did not suggest to Mr.. Gompers and other labor
leaders the possibility of dynamiting conspiracy
II is now said that the inquiry at indianapolis
will not be completed until the end OF next jan
uary There is much documentary evidence to be
examined Under the Federal law the ofcnses that
could be charged against alleged dynamiters would
be in the transportation and hauling of dynamite,
and if any men should be convicted, cumulative
sentences could be imposed
The Federal investigation, however, may uncover
evidence which will call for prosecution by state
authorities The great point involved is to expose
the plot if there was one, and to punish the men
engaged in it for they arc anarchists at heart and
at war with society

Milford Chronicle.
In visiting Georgetown, Sussex
County, Delaware. last week with
mine host, Mr. c. r. Lynch, We took a
stroll out to see the Coleman dupont
Road Boulevard; everything there was
activity. We saw many teams, some
hauling broken stone, some coarse
sand or gravel, some cement in bags,
steam roller was moving backward
and forward over the road bed pack
ing down broken stone; a gasoline
cement mixer mixing cement and a
number of men carrying the same in
buckets and spreading IL over the
broken stone; others were packing it
down with heavy tools making 1t Sc
cure for the top or finishing surface
Going south about one-quarter mile
We found on the side OF the road a
large plant and would judge it was a
mixing machine or preparing asphalt
and sand or gravel for top dressing
for the road and near Il were about
1000 barrels OF asphalt and a mountain
Of gravel or sand. The construction Of
this road is not an ordinary turnpike
or macadam road at certain distances
and conditions. there are permanent
cement culverts TO allow perfect drain
age for the road.
On looking south towards Millsboro
as far as you can see in a straight
! line and apparently level. is, in my
/ Judgment, the greatest piece of road
] building ever constructed in the
United States There on each side OF

wORKMEN's COMPENSATION.

A DESPATCH. from St. Louis says that the
L n manufacturers of the United States are
practically a unit for a workmen's compensation
system of which they are willing to bear from rs
to so per cent of the burden.
The special investigating committee OF the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association has made known
its position. This committee, after a thorough
investigation of England and German laws relat-
ing TO workmens compensation has recommended
for this country system by which the employers
arc to pay from Is to so per cent copy of the
recommendations was forwarded to $4,000 manu-
facturers throughout the country and ninety-nine
per cent. of them were favorable to the recommen-
datons
The system recommended by the committee is
not copied from the foreign laws but contains
many new features. The action Of the manufac-
turers will no doubt lead to the enactment of
compensation laws in many states, and with such
laws their cost will be added to the operating ex-
penses of the various concerns so that the burden
will really be carried by the people at large in
the end.

the position a resident Of Wilmington

in Wilmington and paid out by Will
mington employers that is taken away
from the town and spent 10 the en-
richment Of another city.
Those of US who complain about
this feature or that feature of Will
mington which we do not think is up
to-date, are probably the very ones
that are causing this condition by
failing to support and sustain our
own city.
Every family in Wilmington ought
to be a regular subscriber to a Will
mington newspaper. If anyone wants
to read a Philadelphia or New York
newspaper, that should be in addi-
tion to the local paper and not TO its
exclusion. Every Wilmington news
paper gives its readers the best paper
it can afford to give for the patronage
IL gets from its readers and its ad-
vertisers. If the people Of Whining
ton want larger papers or papers with
expensive illustrations and expensive
special articles. It is up to the people
of Wilmington TO give the papers the
support they must have in order tc
afford these innovations.

Divorce dinners to celebrate release from the

a certain set The idea first appeared in New York
and Robert Winthrop Chanler who was taken

Chanler got out of his scrape at cost of $4,000,
and he is going to tell his friends at the divorce
dinner that he does not regret having taken ficr
in the matrimonial market. 1t may be said in pass

REFERENDUM VOTE.

TT is surprising how little interest is taken in
4 many important political matters in which the
personal element is not involved Many people
seem TO think that the only questions involved in
government are the personalities of the candi-
dates-whether this man or that man is to get
the political job he seeks. Some say that this
is due 10 the love of the sporting element, even
in politics. Who is to be the winner, and who
the loser? is the way it is put.
Experience shows that in the east and in some
of the western states only small percentage OF
citizens take part in a referendum vote when a
policy of government is at stake At the recent
election in New York state seven amendments to
