NO cow-PATH POLITICS.

u IGURES have been printed concerning the
l. recent city election and various conclusions
have been drawn from them. 1t has been said
that the figures show that the vote was but little
larger than that the city election two years
ago. Persons draw all sorts of opinions from
them, but TO The Journal the result of the cleo
tion emphasizes the fact that there is a consider
able independent vote in this city, enough to throw
the city from party to the other on muni-
opal election.
The course TO be pursued by political leaders
then is obvious. They must urge the new ad-
ministration to make the best possible appoint
ments and administer the affairs Of the city in
the best possible manner. If this is not done, the
administration OF Dr. Howell will be failure
and no credit will be reflected upon either him
or the new City Council
The election in Wilmington should also carry
lesson to the political leaders of the state those
in the lower counties, especially. 1t should be
that cow-path politics which some of them have
been disposed 10 follow in the past is not the kind
of politics suited TO new boulevard state. There
should be no repetition Of the mistakes of the past
the loading down Of a ticket with men who we're
as millstones on the remainder OF the ticket.
During the recent city campaign no exception
was taken TO the personality Of the candidates on
either ticket They we're, so far as we know, re-
putable men No one needed to defend them per-
sonaly In large measure there was an absence
of the pinhead kind Of politics.
In other words we think that the day has passed
or is passing when men whose regulations can be
assailed, can be orammed down the throats Of the
people Of this state Politics is changing along
with other things but it is pretty hard to make
some persons believe IT, Even when they are
knocked in the head they don't seem TO under
stand

TOWNS SHOULD HELP.

n NE idea of Mr.. duPont's is that the towns
~ along the proposed route of the state high
way should help themselves, that IS, do something
towards Identification If the towns should bear
some Of the expense OF Improvement as Mr. du-
Pont suggests, Delaware would certainly have
towns which could be pointed to with much pride.
1t appears to us that such proposals as that Mr..
dupont made TO Seaford are quite generous He
would bear sixty per cent of the expense of build
ing the road through the towns or on the out
skirts Certainly il is not too much 10 ask the
communities TO lend a hand.
Happily. however, the towns are stirring mani
Testing much interest in the matter And what
APPLIES to the towns of the state also applies to
Wilmington.
Dover is surely one Of the most fortunate. Dur
ing the last few years the residents of Dover have
shown remarkable public spirit and enterprise.
They have good town with fine streets and with
a boulevard, the state capital will be showy place
SMYRNA too among others, IS alert With the
residents of Dover and Of Smyrna cooperating
the boulevard should 60 down the present state

PETER CoOPFRs CONTRIBUTION TO OCEAN TEIEeRAPHY.
BY
4" H 0 LII A N D"

Mr.. Cooper said to Mr.. Field, after
several experiments in deep-sea cable
laying. had been unsuccessfully made
that il would be necessary to invent
an entirely new apparatus.
Can you suggest anything? Mr.
Field asked.
Not at present, Mr.. Cooper re-
piled. but I will make a study of the
matter and see what | can do.
so Peter Cooper worked over the
problem of how an ocean cable could
be successfully laid He believed that
there was principle of mechanics
which. If he could discover it or the
application Of II, could be successfully
adopted, so that there would be no
difficulty in laying a cable from Ire
land to Newfoundland, upon the bed
OF the Atlantic, no matter how deep.
Mr.. Cooper spent several months
upon this problem. At last he said 10
Mr.. Field that he believed he was on
the right track. II had occurred TO him
that, If he could build an apparatus
which would pay out the cable a lit
tie faster than the steamship was go
ing ahead, then all difficulty would be
overcome. For Peter Cooper to think
was Immediately to act In little
while he had built a machine, by
means Of which a cable could be un-
coiled and paid out from the deck OF
a steamship at rate of speed a little
more rapid than that at which the
steamship was going.
"The first test showed that Mr.
Cooper had perfected a machine which
made It possible to lay the ocean
cable; and with this machine the first
Atlantic cable between Newfoundland
and the coast Of Ireland was laid"

JUST ABOUT WILMINGTON.

III HE man who is pessmist about Wilmington
l. these days must be man with chronic
crouch who if he got into Heaven would be kick
ing because he was not sent TO the other place
If Wilmington does not move forward during
the next few years, we ought TO admit that we
are slow and stupid people who don't know
good thing when il is thrown at US.
How many cities say that if they had some one
with money who would take the lead and do
things how happy they would be and how our
town would grow.
Wilmington has some people willing to take
the lead We are TO have a boulevard that Will
touch the city or 90 near il il we play our cards
right We are TO have a new hotel building
handsome new theatre is much more than posi-
bility We shall get it if we show reasonable
energy and public spirit. And there will probably
be more things to come in the not distant future
if we show a wide-awake public spirit In other
words. there are people here who are evidently
inclined to promote everything that Wilmington
will stand
The question is whether the citizens can keep
up with the procession. The time will soon be
here when as a city we shall have to show the
stuff we are made Of Other cities are beginning
TO envy the good fortune of Wilmington.
Recently the Harrisburg Telegraph had an edi-
torial article referring 10 the good fortune OF
Wilmington II had some inaccuracies so that
it is hardly worth reprinting. but il congratulated
Wilmington on having the duPonts who are dis
posed TO do much for the city. Fortunate indeed
is Wilmington, and if we do not take advantage OF
the opportunities that are coming our way it will
be case of casting pearls before swine.

Peter Cooper, known to the present
generation as a philanthropist, creator
of Cooper Union of New York city, was
one of the foremost of the inventive
geniuses who did so much to advance
the material development of the United
States in the first sixty years Of the
past century. II is common knowledge
that Peter Cooper invented a locomo-
tive engine. and actually put II upon
the rails, near Baltimore. a year or
two after George Stephenson invented
the first locomotive engine.
II is also widely known that Mr..
Cooper was very intimately associated
with Cyrus w. Field in the organiza-
ton OF the company which laid the
first Atlantic cable. But II is not so
generally known that Il was an ap-
paratus invented by Peter Cooper,
which, together with the wonderfully
delicate apparatus invented by the
late Lord Kelvin for sending and re-
ceiving cable messages, which made
the Atlantic cable a commercial prac-

THE first idea which the cable peo-

method was unavailable for deep-sea

THE BENEFIT OF EXAMPLE.

ATEW YORK STATE has spent much money for
Y state highways and it will spend still more
Pennsylvania is to devote large sum for improv-
ing her highways, the state road bill advocated
by Senator Sproul of Chester having been passed.
One good effect of state roads is to improve all
other roads The Watertown, N. Y. Times tells
of the influence OF example Farmers off the
line of the macadam have taken the state road
a model and are seeking TO approach it as nearly
as they with the funds at their command. In
one instance a state road has been duplicated at
one quarter of the price Of the state road
Everywhere you go these days through the
country says the Times, you find road makers
at work with pows, scrapers and rollers, and using
such crushed stone as they can get
The Times notes that in some instances the old
system of blowing up the soft mud the sides
and dumping il into the center still persists des-
pite the fact that this method has been time and
again condemned by road building experts.
One effect of the DUPONT road in Delaware will
be to make the farmers on the cross roads wish
for better highways in front of their own homes,
and perhaps they themselves will assist vountar-
lily in doing some of the work. How often a man
sees big hole in the road in front of his house,
something that causes him inconvenience
1t would take him less time and trouble to re-
pair il himself than he would expend in hunt
ing for the road authorities TO make the repairs.

Did you ever think of the difference
between washing and cleaningr
You can wash with any kind of soap
in any kind of water, hot or cold.
You can boil clothes and rub them on
a waShboard until your back aches.
All that is washing.
But it isn't always cleaning.
Most soaps are just washing soaps.
They furnish little lather and let you
do the work
Fels-Naptha is a cleaning soap.
1t works all by itself in cool or uke-
warm water, saving all the trouble and dis
comfort of boiling and hot sudS.
Fels-Naptha Soap cleans your clothes.
1t really reaches the dirt and diSsolves
it.
1t does this while the soaped clothes
are soaking in cool or lukewarm water,
while you are thinking of something else
or resting.
When FelS-Naptha Soap gets through
with them-thirty minutes or so is long
enough-you rub lightly, rinse the clothes
and they're cleaner, sweeter and whittier
than you could get them by washing all
day in the old-faShioned manner.
You'll find directions for using
Fels-Naptha printed on the back of the
red and green wrapper.
