DON'T BECOME STALE.

In a recent issue Of the Old Bay Line Magazine,
Il Mr.. Charles H. Dickey, chairman of the Great
er Baltimore Committee, has an entertaining arti-
Gle on the needs of Municipal Publicity for the up
building of communities.
He speaks of the fierce competition between
cities for the acquisition of new industries and the
expansion of trade territory. 1t means struggle
for survival; that those communities only will sur
vive and remain prosperous which furnish employ
ment TO enable their inhabitants to live comfort
ably
The school system, Mr.. Dickey points out, has
educated the present generation in this country
demand the comforts and convenences of ad
vanced civilization. And he might have added that
they or something else has taught great many of
the rising generation to give as little service as
possible, and very often inefficient service in re-
turn for the comforts and convenences which they
demand.
The cities are filed to overlooking, as Mr. Dickey
says, with workers who demand work and COM
munties are bestrring themselves to secure new
industries to furnish the work
city must either stand still or 60 forward
Standing still is going backward.
These facts are realized so keenly says Mr..
Dickey, that today even small towns have organ
lied their boards Of trade end commercial clubs in
tended 10 promote industries Fifty more cities
have enlisted the assistance of communities build
ers, promotion secretaries and the like Promot-
ing cities has become a regular business The facts
mentioned by Mr.. Dickey are plain TO every one
who keeps touch with the progress cities are max
ing.
In race of the survival of the fttest the winners
will be those cities which possess the best natural
advantages and have the most wide awake and pub
lie spirited citizens. A community may have many
natural advantages but unless it has public spirited
men who know how to use these advantages to the
best purpose the community will lag.
There is lessen in what Mr.. Dickey says for Will
mington Here in Wilmington and in Delaware we
have great natural advantages. They are at once
appreciated by strangers who come among us to
live A well-known Pennsylvania railroad man, now
living in Wilmington is quoted as saying that Del
aware is an "unworked gold mine" The position of
Wilmington and Delaware therefore in this race
for the survival of the cities is that We have good
handicap of natural advantages. If we fail or falter
in the race, it is because we do not make the best
use OF our natural advantages but ignore them. Ii
would be like that of strong, powerful athlete who
lost race through aziness.

EDITORIAL OPINION

road line will probably be followed
General DUPONT has personally been
directing the survey work. and will
undoubtedly take a close interest in
the process Of road construction when
active operations in the actual work
Of building shall be started.
Topographic and geologic condi-
tons in Delaware are much the same
as on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
No rock is found in the two lower
counties Of the state and the ballast
will have to be carried down from the
vicinity Of Wilmington. 1t will be in
teresting to note how this road, con-
structed under the watchful super
vision Of a good business man like
General DUPONT. will compare as to
cost and quality with the roads on
the Eastern Shore of this state that
have been built under the provisions
of the state road law. The dupont
road will be about 100 miles long, and
will cost more than a round million
of dollars if the average mileage cost
is as great as the average contract
cost on the Eastern Shore. It is
likely that the DUPONT road will
serve as an object lesson in road
building in more respects than ono.
There is reason to believe that a
great wastage has resulted from the
general scheme of road building that
has been followed In Maryland.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

ID USlNESS men and captains of industry Of
~ Chicago have concluded that it is time for
the country to begin to hum. They are tired of
the talk about depression and dull business They
realize that there is no legitimate reason for de-
preston. They are becoming optimists
The country is all right and the calamity howl
ers are all wrong" declares George M REYNOLDS
president of one of the leading banks of Chicago
His bank, The Continental and Commercial Ma
tional has issued book setting forth the views
OF scores of bankers, business men, railroad men
and others as to the business situation
The crop review contained in the book shows
that the average Of crops will be better than the
ten-year average. While some industries are
marking time, others picking up rapidly All
things considered, Mr.. Reynolds does not believe
that the present volume of business is more than
ten per cent below normal A pick up would
bring it to normal but not the great volume of
few years ago when everything was hustng
Regarding crops the banks figures indicate
wheat production of 6420O0O0O bushels against
6e5OOO00O bushels last year. equal to the ten year
average and 100000 bushels more than domes-
tic requirements. The oats crop is poor S24OOO-
600 bushels, nearly 500,000000 under last year
and 25,000000 below the average. Corn should
amount to 2,828OOO 900 bushels by present indica-
tons, 10 per cent. under last year, but ga per
cent. over the average. A 43 100000 ton hay crop
will be 100000 under 1910 and rs per cent under
the average Potatoes, too, suffered severely, but
rice and rye will be larger and barley as good as
last year, with fax problematic.
Cotton promises to make a record yield with
heavy rains the only danger There is promise OF
100000 bales and new record may be estab-
lished passing the 100000 mark. In many other
ways the outlook in the South is remarkably fav-
cradle
These figures are impressive but the skeptic
will say that we have been hearing of great crops

for the last half dozen years, but we do not hear
of permanent humming business. Therefore we
can live only in hopes.
One reason given for the depression is inter-
ference with the doings of the corporations by
politicians II such interference is the chief cause
OF depression we might well make up our
minds TO the fact that such cause will continue
indefinitely Railroads that may be marking time
because of legislative activity will continue TO
mark time or do nothing.
The days of railroads and other corporations
doing as they please have passed, and they will
not return. 1t is useless to think that they will,
and if business men are marking time in the hope
that the wave of legislative interference will soon
pass away, they had better adjust themselves TO
the new conditions or quit business and let per-
sons willing TO adapt themselves to the new con-
dition get into the harness.
Business will not again be conducted with the
free swing of the days of Mark Hanna any more
than political conditions of the Hanna era will re-
turn.

Need Of Uniformity.

Chicago Tribune.
II the discussion Of the approaching
marriage of a young girl to New
York man of conspicuous family and
much money have the effect OF calling
attention to the need Of uniform laws
on marriage and divorce throughout
the country It will not have Deen
without usefulness.
II is useless to talk OF action by
Congress. as has been suggested. The
states have the power to do as they
please and may be urged but not COM
pelled. The contrariety Of laws we'll
illustrates the contrariety of DISPOSE
tion-from South Carolina, conserva-
tive and opposed to divorce. to Ne
vada, which encourages It.
This contrariety, however. results
in a weakness to which our form Of
government lends itself. BY long and
earnest effort states are persuaded 20
reconstruct laws in uniformity with
other states or in conformity with an
accepted standard The national or
ganization which urges legislatures 70
this end has had some encouraging
successes. Few matters Of this char
acter are so important as that Of es-
tablishing a standard of marriage and
divorce legislation and probably none
presents such obstacles.
Contrariety in this regard is a
weakness. There should be one Law
the country over regulating marriage
and one regulating divorce.

MIR. CRosBYs CONTRACT WITH THE STATE.

"pRESIDENT CROSBY then launched into
Il long speech as to charter rights of corpora
tons He said charter rights we're a contract that
could not be taken away" (Mr o. 7. Crosby TO
the Board of Public Utility Commissioners.
Has Mr.. Crosbys Company an irrevocabe con-
tract to charge the people of Wilmington five cent
fares for all time? Has the Legislature nailed
that charge on the people forever? If so, the peo-
pie should know it. The cost of railway service
diminishes with scientific progress maximum
fare in one generation might be exorbitant
charge in the next. 1t was a common practice in
early days TO make FIVE cents mile the maximum
passenger rate in steam railroad charters. IT three
cent fares become common, may the people OF Will
mington be held forever TO this hard and fast con-
tract? If so, the people should understand it. An
order restoring strip tickets would impair such
contract and would be illegal Does the contract
exist?
glance at the statutes shows that Wilmington
City Railway Company was empowered in its
charter 10 operate a city railway for compensation.
In subsequent years it authorized to borrow.
In 1891 il was further authorized to borrow pro-
vided, it would perform certain duties and submit
TO certain restrictions One restriction that
"the said Company shall not at any time be allowed
to charge a greater amount than FIVE cents for
any one fare or ticket ride In their through
the said city"
Does Mr.. Crosby contend that the State sur
rendered its inherent power to regulate the pas
senger fares of this company by the terms of that
restriction Does he hold that the state agreed by
clear and unmistakable language that the COM
pany should be subject only to its own control
in fixing fares up to five cents. The state never
grants or surrenders a power save in the plainest
and clearest terms. OF course, there is such a
grant and surrender where the state empowers
company to fix its fares by agreement with city
and provides that such agreement shall be bind
ing. city may make restriction as to a maxi
mum charge the term of such contract. Here
the restriction in the charter of the Railway Com
pany is entirely consistent with the reservation by
the state of its power to regulate the rate of fares

fore judicial forum than before popular forum
