Keep Boys Home at Night.

Delaware News.
A great many of our boys, ranging
in age from 6 to IA years, are al
lowed by their parents TO be on the
streets at all hours Of the night. This
Is a critical period in a boys life,
and every means possible should be
taken to have them off the streets at
an early hour The home should be
made pleasant and entertaining for
them and in after lif they will thank
you for your kindness and goodness
to them. We do not desire to be hard
OF want laws enacted that will not
allow them privileges, but what
business has a boy on the streets or
in the stores among men at night?
Surely he is not learning anything
that is elevating by loafing around
corners or other places that he has
no business to be.
The boys of today will be the men
Of tomorrow, who will have the rul-
ing of the nation and it is very i'm
portant that their lives should be cor
rect. Parents should see that their
lessons are carefully prepared for
the morrow and encourage them in
their school life and see that they get
we'll the lessons given them. It seems
to us that If some of our suggestions
we're followed there would not be as
many boys on our streets when they
should be preparing lessons or AT
home by their parents fireside

A RLoM mo- MLMINGTON.

TT SEEMS that our local furniture dealers are
4 justified in thinking that they we're shabbily
treated by the State House Commission which
awarded large contract for furnishings TO
Philadelphian in preference TO a Delawarean.
Five Wilmington concerns were represented in
an effort to get the contract They sent men TO
Dover at considerable expense several times, and
they went to other trouble and expense in the
matter
They were left under the impression that they
would receive blue prints and would be given a
chance TO bid on the furnishings, but the hrst
thing they heard after the preliminaries was when
they read in The Journal that the contract had
been awarded TO a Philadelphian
In justification of the award it is said that the
commissioners made better terms with the Phil
adelphian, but how could this be il the statement
of the local men is correct that they never receiv
Cd the blue prints and therefore die not have
fair chance TO put in their bids? 1t is said that
the contract price $4,000 for the furnishings,
Evening journal., 1911-10-17

large sum, and surely more vigorous effort
should have been made 10 have Delaware con-
cern get this contract
Considering the belief on the part of the local
men they did not get fair deal the loss of so
large contract hurts, severely hurts, not only
the furniture men but the city at large. There
are certainly concerns in Wilmington that could
have supplied the articles needed for the State
House, for the Wilmington furniture houses stand
high, very high.
That the contract should have gone out OF the
state is greatly to be regretted, for it must be
remembered that this city supplies almost all the
revenue, directly OF indirectly, of the state, and
when the money of the state is expended it should
be distributed in Delaware, IL possible, and il
might have been possible in this instance

orR RAsERALL SERVICE.

'Egos. HE thousands of baseball fans in this city
plea 6ave mad the satisfaction of receiving excel
lent and accurate reports, through The Evening
Journal, of the baseball games far played in the
series for the worlds championship.
The Journal has never done better piece OF
news work. The reports we're received in this
Office over the leased wire of the United Press
every minute during the game and direct from
the field. Every play was reported, and the crowd
in front of The Journal Office was informed as
possible.
Then the news was hurried to the composing
room, the battery of The Journals five Linotypes
prepared it with startling rapdiy for the FORMS,
and almost in an instant after the close OF the
game The Journals great press, which has ca
paoity of printing more than 400 complete Jour
nails a minute was going at high speed Journals
we're soon on the street with a complete account
of the game.
AS The Journal was far ahead Of all competitors
in giving the news Of the great Johnson-J Jeffries
prize fight so it was ahead OF the opposition IN
announcing the baseball games with the full box
score 1t is needless to say that the extra edition
of The Journal of course the street far
ahead OF any of the Philadelphia newspapers, beat
ing them by at least hour, perhaps one hour and
one half, and with an account of the game as
good as that printed in Philadelphia. This is be-
cause The Journal has the same facilities as the
Philadelphia newspapers for handling big news.
During the baseball season The Journal has
maintained bulletin service giving the results OF
the scores and the fans have gathered round the
Office by the hundreds. Thousands of inquiriessby
telephone have been answered, The Journal having
had special telephone in addition to the regular
telephones in operation during the season.
1t is the endeavor of The Journal to please its
patrons and friends at all times, and The Journal
must confess that il is trhe proud of the SER
vice il has rendered. Therefore, il trusts that it
may be pardoned for blowing its own horn" for
II doesn't often do that And yet the old proverS
that II man dossut blow his own horn no one
else will, is peculiarly appropriate on most occa-
sions TO newspapers.

WATER WAYS CONVENTION.

VAT ILMlNGTON is to be we'll represented at
w the convention of the Atlantic Deeper Water
WAYS Association our delegation having left last
night for Richmond, Va, where the meeting IS to
be held.
This state has been foremost in the movement
for improving the water ways, and has always
taken an active and important part in the pro-
ceedings Of these conventions No doubt the dele
cation representing Delaware at Richmond will
give good account of itself
1t is proposed 10 invite the convention to meet
in this city year after next when the new DUPONT
hotel will have been completed, and when this city
will be in aposition TO entertain conventions OF
this character and all other kinds of gatherings.
This means that Wilmington will have 10 open her
doors in hospitable fashion, TO take her place in
the country as a convention city.
The Deeper Water Ways Association is an or
ganization working for the practical improvement
of the water ways, something that directly con-
Germs commerce. No doubt sooner or later its ef-
forts will be crowned with success. This city will
be greatly benefited and we must do our part,
more than our part, in bringing about this pros
pective happy result.

FRAUD IN BALTIMORE.

T IMITLESS CROOKEDNESS,' is the phrase
- used by the Baltimore Evening Sun in de-
sorbng political conditions in the chief city of
Maryland. The question is asked whether Balt-
more ever is TO have a square election.
First there was fraud at the recent primary cleo
ton in manipulating the count. 1t was thought
that this kind of fraud could be easily reached.
But soon the Reform League unearthed proof OF
repeating in one of the wards, and the Grand Jury
has now presented judges and clerks of one of the
election districts a charge of boldly stufing the
ballot box.
Really Baltmoreans who do not want such
things are driven almost to despair. No wonder
the business men are becoming aroused for fear
that crookedness in BaInmores election will be
an obstacle to the material progress of the city.
In Wilmington we used to have such things as
they are complaining of in Baltimore, but happily
the day OF wholesale election frauds in Wilmington
has long since passed.
