AROUsING PUBLIC INTEREST.

WAT HEN some men in Wilmington happen to-
w gether and discuss public matters, often
the underlying thought of the discussion is the
lack Of interest taken by capable and efficient men
in the affairs Of the city There is opinion that
there is plenty of brain, in Wilmington but large
part of the brain of the city is staguant in the con-
sideration of public matters 1t is pointed out that
politics are managed by a few.
The citizens Of a ward, for instance, are really
represented by handful of men who gather at
ward meetings which are not distinguished for the
presence of men of great thought and affairs in
the city. The latter fail TO attend and are con-
tent to let matters drift along looking upon poll
tics necessary evil which they will not try to
remedy
No one would question the fact that II some
plan could be devised by which men Of ability
would realize the duty they owe as citizens TO a
community we should have better and more ef-
hcient government and municipality which would
approach more nearly to business corporation.
How to arouse public interest in public mat
ters is difficult problem to solve. Courses in the
schools in civics might help for the future, but
we presume after all, that in the natural order o
things few men have taste and liking for pub
lie matters but the great majority have not. Every
man has his likes and dislkes but the percentage
of men who have dislike for serious considers

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, Oct. 2S-Just about
the time residents were promised that
cars would be running to Delaware
City along comes more trouble. The
Wilmington and Southern Traction
Company wants to run its cars to
Dobbmsville for the convenience of
the people of that section of the city
as well as for the Edgar Allen Steel
Company's workmen. But the Della
ware City Traction Company is the
owner by record of the tracks in Sew
enth street Then the complication
comes that the Federal Storage Bat
terry Company is the new owner of the
line, but the cars are not here.
Unless the Delaware City line is In
operation next week City Council will,
acting upon adv ,ce, begin the passage
of an ordinance to repeal the charter
and take up the tracks.
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of City Council last night. In
a letter read, from Daniel o. Hastings,
City Solicitor Janvier said he agreed
that City Council could give a fran
chise to the Wilmington and Southern
Traction Company to operate the line
to Dobbinsville. But where another
line is in operation. another line to
run parallel is not permitted. The
question of removal of the tracks is
not an easy one, and is open to liti-
CATION. At present no cars are run

should they run there is sure to be

compelling the competing lines tc

calm after the storm of teephonic inquiries in The
Journal Office. Only one cali to know whether
Coombs was dead, All our friends had apparently
forgotten us-deserted us. We we're left doefu
and in the dumps. The great event was over.
There wasn't even the slightest sign of an after
math. So far as we are concerned all the base
ball fans must have been swallowed into oblivion.
And that oblivion will continue until the bright
days of spring What's the score? has disappeared
so completely that we are somewhat dazed. On
the previous day, the great Thursday, five tele-
phones we're ringing continuously The automatic
people kept tab and they said The Journal tele-
phone was going at the rate of 4s calls minute.
And we presume that at the Delaware and Allan
tic Telephone and Telegraph staton--my, what a
mouth filing name--the presiding elders didn't
even have time to nibble at candy. But the sea
son ended with great victory for the Athletics
and that pleased nearly all our friends.
A local philosopher declared that he knew of
nothing that gave people so much pleasure as
reading or learning about the score. There was
sea of upturned faces in front Of The Journals

a real pleasure 10 be able TO furnish pleasing in

THE RUSH FOR LAND.

The areas Of desirable public land
may be entered in any form by land
seekers, arc becoming so limited that
whenever there is any land of any
kind thrown open for the taking. there
is a feverish rush for it. There will
never be any more such rush as there
was in Oklahoma, TO he sure; but every
opening will be attended by anxious
land seekers, who will use every pos
siblo effort 10 obtain and to enforce
their legal rights. 1t was because Of
this deep and general anxiety to get
land that so much criticism was made
of the "snap' entries Of the 1000 acres
of Tooelc land that was thrown open
to entry week ago. And now the Gu
tries on lands thrown open In Iron
county and Millard county are attend
cd by another rush (but this time
open), although the area for choice is
immensely extended, the lands to be
taken comprising some 100000 acres.
There arc largo tracts of good land
in Millard county; but 1t is extremely
difficult to extend the water supply for
irrigation to the land. A good many
efforts have been made, with the result
that the Sewer river has been found
difficult to control; many of the efforts
have been costly failures. Still, with
increasing knowledge, and with the les
son OF experience taken to heart, doubt
less the Sewer will be fully controlled
in time.
The dryfarming proposition will,
also, be very greatly helpful in Mlllard
county: and we expect TO see that
county some day come to the front as
one of the most prosperous and best.
settled counties in the State, as it is
one of the largest of the counties. Iron
county is also coming to the front. We
trust that everyone who takes up land
under this opening in either county
will realize his best expectations and
hopes, and that the opening will prove
to be an important step in advance, not
only for the persons who get the land
but also for the public benefit of the
