assertions concerning business men as that made
by DR.. Campbell. According to him. the honest
men are the unsuccessful men, preposterous con-
cusion. There, are dishonest men in business as
we'll as there are bad ministers and bad lawyers
and bad doctors but to assume that the success
fu business man is dishonest is ridiculous.
Many people with half baked ideas are apt TO
get cynical view Of life from such talk as that
of DR.. Campbell. They enter business with no
tion that TO be successful one must be dishonest
They think that all the forms of petty graft and
little crookedness that one frequently finds in
business the usual thing and necessary to sue
cess. But they are not The man who practices them
may for time apparently succeed, but he is
found out sooner or later. Capacity, skill, ma

THE PREsIDENTs FRANKNEss.

0NE thing about President Taft which should
~ command for him admiration is the frank
ness of the man. This has been disclosed on many
occasions, especially during his western trip.
There is nothing of the bombastic or spread eagle
oratory about the President. He is a sensible,
matter-of-fact man who realizes the tremendous
responsibilities he abors under and who is trying
to do his duty as he sees it. Nothing more could
any man do.
The President knows that he is carrying grave
burdens such as come TO few men, The great
problems Of today are those OF an industrial ma
ture. We have been undergoing changes in our
industrial system. Great combinations OF capital
exist such as never existed before New and per-
picking questions have been thrust upon the coun-
try. How to steer the ship OF state in sea of
business unrest so that the rocks of disaster may
be avoided is a titanic task. The President in a
speech delivered at Chicago asks if it would not
be better to follow along the way we have been
going than to turn the ship over to new and un-
tried pilots.

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

TT HE annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio
L Railroad Company shows that this great cor
poration under the management of President Will
lard has successfully passed through a trying year
OF more or less depression.
Although the freight receipts fell off, the rev.
enue from the passenger traffic increased consid-
erably and much Improvement work has been done
on the line. Additional equipment has been added
and the company has adopted liberal policy to-
wards new industries located along its route
The company, like other railroads has engaged
IN educational work 1t has preached better and
more abundant crops and has shown its interest
in the farmers. Railroads are powerful develop
ers, and when they have progressive and broad
minded men like the President of the B. & O.
At their head, they can be of great advantage TO
the communities through which they pass. Moth
ing in fact is closer 10 the people than the rail-
roads. The interests are mutual, and it is highly
important that the relations of the people and the
railroads should be amicable.
II looks as If President Willard we're conducting
The Baltimore and Ohio along lines that are GER
tain TO make Of it one Of the most prosperous and
profitable big railway systems OF the country.

POSTAL SERVICE AT A PRoFTT.

DoSTMASTER GENERAL HITCHCOCK has
Il reason to feel proud of the record his depart
ment is making as a business enterprise. For the
FIRST time since 1888 in the fiscal year which ended
last June the department was conducted at
profit
In twenty-four months the conduct of the pos
tai service has resulted in changing a deficit of
Si7479770 for the fiscal year 1909 to a surplus of
S2l9,llS for the fiscal year 1911. During the last
fiscal year the audited revenues of the department
we're S237,S79,825, and the audited expenditures
S237 648926 Certain small, scattering losses
brought down the surplus by Sli,779.
During the fiscal year 81 ,906,025 domestic money
orders we're issued aggregatng S590054452, and
4,O60,4l3 international money orders were issued,
aggregating s96,6Sl ,2il. large amount Of money
is available for the Postohice Department the
report showing that more than S5000O0O is held
BY the Treasurer of the United States and Assist

AsoUITH AS A PEER.

ONE of the London newspapers announces that
~ the Right Honorable Herbert H. Asquith will
be elevated to the British peerage before the open
ing OF the 1912 session Of Parliament. This news
is quite important if true, for if the Prime Min
lister is made a peer, the leadership of the House
of Commons will devoye upon Chancellor David
Lloyd-George, one of the most aggressive of the
governments leaders.
Little could be gained by Asquith by his ele-
walton to the higher house, if his political career
alone we're considered. Certainly there is not the
opportunity for the display of political talents in
the House of Lords as in the Commons.
Asquth a Lord, would be practically buried
in political oblivion. The present premier has
shown some evidence that the hurly burly Of rough
and tumble political fighting in the lower house is
not altogether to his liking. He is not second
Gladstone by any means. His tastes and associa-
tions are more aristocratc. AS genius like Dis
raeli or Salisbury, Asquith might shine among the
Lords, but Asquith is not a genius
ltmay be that Asquith will become peer, which
has its compensation, but if So the turmoil that
has marked English politics will be increased by
the ascendency of Lloyd-George.

FORWARD.


ID EFORE very long a definite plan will be sug-
- gested for bringing new industries into the
city and this will be a subject which should rivet
the attention of the leading men Of affairs OF the
city.
If the Board of Trade could have half dozen
meetings like that Mr.. DUPONT addressed the other
night, The Journal is confident that an impetus
would be given the city which would be most graft
flying.
The essential thing is for those who have the
welfare of the city heart to work in harness to-
gether all pulling in the same direction.
Wilmington should have many new industries
No other city has better natural advantages than
has Wilmington. This entire subject will be taken
UP by the Board of Trade at distant day II
there are any good reasons why Wilmington has
Jagged behind in the race for new industries those
reasons should be considered. II any plan can
be devised which will bring industries here that
plan should be debated and considered. The city
cannot afford to stand still 1t must so either for
ward or backward. And with such an impetus as
the new road and the new hotel, is there any man
who will say that the time is not ripe for for
movement in WmingtonP

about all that will be done about the
station this year, the extensive i'm

provision will be made next year for
these improvements provided it is not
decided to erect a new City Hall in
conjunction with the County Court
House.
