George Irving Resigns

George Irving, who for many years has been assistant district at- torney at Ketchikan, came up on the Ramona last night and this morning rendered his resignation to the district attorney. MT. IT, wings friends have known for some time past he contemplated leaving the government service, as soon as certain arrangements he had working out were concluded. MT. Irving will come. to Juneau to live.
 Under District Attorney Boyce and the present incumbent of the office, George Irving secured for himself, by dint of successful pros cautions, the reputation of being one of the best attorneys in crimin- al cases before juries in the dis trict and his happy ability to mix made him a general favorite with everyone. The universally eX- pressed opinion is that the district attorney's office will be badly crip- pied by MT. Irving leaving it. Juneau Record.

LABOR'S MISTAKE.

Dover Index
The confession of the crime OF
murder and arson by the Mcnamara
brothers on trial in Los Angeles has
stirred the country TO a general dis
cussion of labor conditions and the
methods of labor in dealing with en-
ployers. Nor is there lacking those
who bitterly charge labor organiza-
tions with completely in the crimes
laid at the door of the McNamaras
Labor organizations make mistakes
what individual or organization does
not? but we do not believe they can
be charged with these crimes. The
mistake was in too vehement denun-
citation of the authorities who arrest
ed the accused and too -asn pfocla-
nation of their innocence. If the la
Dor organizations believe them inno-
cent it was all right TO raise money
and give the accused the benefit of a
defense, but it should have been made
plain that organized labor is opposed
10 violence and crime and that II the
evidence showed guilt Of the accused,
they would be repudicated and de-
nounced Organized labor has been
placed in an unfortunate light and
those who are responsible for it
should be turned out of office. We
sympathize with the man who earns
his livelihood by manual labor and

THE BALLoT. NOT THE BOMB.

IN THEIR statement to the public the labor
i leaders who composed the MeNamara defense
fund committee declare that the confession OF the
dvnamiters forcibly impressed upon every one the
futlity of violence involving the loss OF life ana
the destruction of property as means OF Seeur-
ing rights The lesson has been taught but at
great price.
If the outcome of the awful crime at Los
Angeles should be the abandoning Of the use OF
the bomb in labor disputes or as means OF right
ing wrong the victims of the disaster will not have
died in vain Labor must fight its battles with
the ballot and not with the bullet or bomb. The
professions of labor leaders will be judged IN the
future by their actions and their teachings We
arc living in the freest country in the world where
every man has a voice in the government. The
United States is the highest type of government
that humanity has yet attained. 1t is the home
and the country of the labor chief as we'll of
the capitalist 1t is nation in which the workers
far outnumber the dlers or the owners of great
wealth. 1t is nation of toilers. IT there arc
faults in our government, If there is oppression
of any kind, the men of labor are as much re-
sponsible as are the men of capital, for the con-
troll of the country, the fixing of its policies, its
industrial life, in the last analysis finally rests
with the toiling masses.
From the mouthings of some, visitor from
Mars would imagine that our life, our government
that our great industries formed something inn
posed upon us by an outside and unseen force, a
tyrannical something to which we we're all subject
but our country is what our citizens make of it,
and the vast majority of our citizens are in the
ranks of the toling masses. There can be no op-
PRESTON political otherwise, unless the masses
consent to il and vote for it, The masses of voters
are the real rulers and the bosses both theoreti-
cally and practically, for each man at the ballot
box is the equal of every other man, and the re-
public is what the united voice of the people de.
eide that it shall be.

timore and Ohio as we have. Reading is not on
the main lines from Washington and Baltimore to
Philadelphia and New York Reading has not the
water facilities that Wilmington has. Neither has
Trenton either railroad or water facilities
like those Of Wilmington. Why, then, should we
not surpass them in material growth, far surpass
them as manufacturing centers?
Some think that our manufacturers have not
been as keen and alert i'm the march of manufac-
turing progress as they should have been. For
instance, Trenton has a large automobile indus
try, and several factories that manufacture tires
and accessories are also made there. Reading is
noted for its large number Of small and diversi-
fed industries. Such industries count greatly in
the prosperity of any city.
Wilmington should take a manufacturing sur
vey, get at the bottom of the matter, plan sys-
tematic campaign to secure new industries.
Our manufacturers arc to form an association
Announcement by the committee declares that the
responses to an appeal for a meeting of manu-
facturers have been so gratifying that the commit
tee feels warranted in calling meeting for the
purposes of organization. Officers are to be elect
ed and the work of the association will be mapped
out. Naturally we should expect that this asso-
citation will accomplish much good for the manu-
featuring interests of the city. Every manufac-
turer should join it, and should take part in its
proceedings.
If there be reasons why Wilmington is not NOV
ing forward faster than it is doing they should be
ascertaned and remedies applied Wilmington
manufacturers, speaking through the voice of an
association, could have powerful influence in in
ducing other manufacturers to locate here
The bankers Of the state are also to form an
association This is another step in the right d-
rection No other influence could be greater than
that of the bankers in pushing Delaware forward
Liberal banking facilities are what manufacturers
and business men want and they should have them.
Altogether there are many signs that Whining
ton is getting in position to command the at
tention of the manufacturing world as never be-
fore.
If we 90 not forward it is our own fault. The
opportunities are here, the advantages are at our
door, and all that is needed is a greater public
spirit, more energy and determination not to be
baked by trihing obstacles.

vi the Importance of the opening of the Great
White WAY on December lS. That night should
be an epoch-making occasion in the history OF the
commercial progress of the city
During the holiday season last year, marker
street was brilliantly illuminated, and 1t was IN
deed a Great White Way. Many were the regrets
expressed when the lights were taken down ana
there was return TO the normal conditions But
the splendid lighting of Market street is now to be
permanent, and this is a long step forward.
Lights are fine advertisements as many ctles
have learned and as Wilmington knows from its
experience of last year 1t is highly fitting there
fore that the event should be made time OF cele-
hration and rejoicing on the part OF merchants
and other citizens.
A committee of citizens is collecting funds TO
nav the expenses of the celebration They should
have little trouble in securing the required amount
There is to be parade and speeches will be de-
livered from a stand to be erected in front OF the
City Hall
During the last few years much progress has
been made by the merchants of Wilmington. This
growth is noted, particularly by all who have been
absent from the city for few years and then
return Our stores are much larger and better,
our merchants are far more enterprising, more
alive TO the possibilities of Wilmington as a COM
mercial center
Market street at present is far superior to what
il was a few years ago but think of what it will
be with the lighting improvements May the light
from Market street awaken the entire city to a
proper appreciation of the possibilities of the

upon watching the expression on the
young orators face And none ap-
plauded so generously as did Webster

was especially observable, because
