OF ONE MIND.

ATOT since the announcement that the DUPONT
lN Company would build a new hotel provided
the city should widen Eleventh street has the sug-
gestion of a public improvement been received
with more widespread approval than the proposed
building 10y the county and the city OF JOINT
public structure.
So far as the sentiment of the people can be as
certained il is entirely favorable At best the plan
of the Levy Court TO enlarge the Court House
would result in a patchwork improvement that
would be severely criticised when completed, for
the entire scheme has been and is being criticised
at present
The Levy Court will make a great mistake if
it does not embrace the opportunity offered by
City Council for joint building. The time is
ripe for such an improvement. 1t is wholly feas-
ible The Court House must be enlarged for it
is inadequate to the needs of the county. The
city must have new hall. One thing fits in with
the other, and the opportunity is simply thrown
at the county and the city to unite in making an
improvement which will be the pride of the city
and county as we'll The ground is already Sc
cured.
If any fame" is to be obtained for the persons
directly concerned in making the improvement, it
N~yin come TO the members of the Levy Court just
as much If they join with the city as if they make
an addition to the Court House alone, regardless
of the wishes Of the citizens of Wilmington. But
they certainly will gain no fame" il they decline
TO embrace the chance offered by City Council
If no other reasons we're to be considered the
fact that the city pays a very large proportion of
the taxes of the county would be sufficient justi-
hcation for the erection of the joint building. But
there is no valid reason why the county should
hesitate.
If this project fails such failure will be like the
tossing of wet blanket on the march of improve
ment in Wilmington. Public sentiment in this
city is clearly in favor of the project and be-
lieve there will be no serious objection on the part
Of the residents of rural New Castle The city and
rural New Castle have worked together in har-
mony in the past and they will do in the future.
The members Of the Levy Court will have to give
some very good reasons for their conduct If they
fail to agree to so splendid an Improvement as the
erection Of joint building would be, but no such
reasons have been forthcoming.

EDITORIAL OPINION

The farmer must always face tha
possibility that his crop will be worth
less than cost when he comes to sell
it. Undeterred speculation in farm
products has caused instability in
farming, which means instability in
farm values and is a menace to tbs
prosperity of the country.

DEVELOPING DELAWARE.

Ut IS announced that the Pennsylvania Railroad

paign in the rural regions with more vigor than
ever this winter, and this should be good news to
the farmer If the Pennsylvania Company con-
tnues in the work that it has begun It will become
a very important factor in the upbuilding of the
peninsula and in developing the farm lands as
they should be developed. What is called the
farmers special train will tour the peninsula be-
ginning on November 20. The company has also,
as VIC have said before, issued an elaborate illus
trated booklet telling about the agricultural pos
sibilities of this peninsula. The company realizes
that what assists Delaware helps the company it.

calls TO mind that it would be a good thing if all
those that profess to be concerned about the fu-
ture, materially speaking, of Wilmington and of
the remainder of Delaware could be united into
one cooperative force working for the advance

velopment, and it is pity that the opportunity
offered is not seized by the progressive men. Of

AT YALE.

IT HE figures Of the registration show that Yale
i University has 1924 students, and it is in
teresting to note that the number in the Sheffield
Scientific School is but slightly fewer than in the
academic department. There are l,237 in the col
lege proper, and l,0s9 in the scientific school.
This shows that an increasingly large number
of young men are taking the technical courses, so
that they can earn living in their profession inn
mediately after graduation. The same story is
told of the other universities in most of which the
technicals in number exceed the academies.
This year there is an increase in the number Of
students in all the departments of Yale excepting
Forestry Medicine and Law. There are 81 in the
Forestry school, 10 in the Law and 63 in the
medical school, while the Divinity school has l0l
students.
Evidently Yale is the place for academic and sci
entihc education Law and Medical schools flour
ish best in the large cities where the advantages for

Much has been said and written

AWAIT THE ISgUE
BY John S. Hamilton.

Await the issue, said Thomas Car
lyle. The most difficult thing for those
who wish and work for better things
is to be patient Men, in spite OF them
selves, will naturally regard their
own day and generation as the end OF
things. This. tho writer thinks. is
largely due to false teaching. A per-
yerted selfshncss has caused men to
try to get out Of life everything that
they could and their limited vision has
prevented them from seeing anything
but their own day and generation.
Their teachers have promoted this
idea. Carlyle in his own vigorous way
declared that there is nothing else but
justice. All the ingenuity and force
that could be concentrated behind an
unjust cause could not. he said, make
10 effective. II is doomed to disaster
On the other hand justice must and
will and does go on. II is easy to
shout for a victorious cause, and the
crowd can be trusted to give to that
cause its apparent loyalty, but unless
it has justice for its object what does
it amount to? Its benehciaries are Of
ten scoundrels. but more often mere
fools and their followers are poor
dupes carried away by the hysteria Of
a moment like the high spirited horse
on the street that gets frightened at
a harmless piece of paper and dashes
away to its own destruction and the
peril of everything in its course.
Await the issue. DO not be discour-
aged If the signs do not point to the
fruition OF your hopes in your time
The other day the writer saw in a
newspaper sneering comment on a
remark made by William Jennings
Bryan. saying that the real Democrat
did not consider the offices. The editor
did not understand Mr. Bryan's point
of view, for il is true that the real

SOCIALISM.


Committee of the Local Party Replies
to An Article by Mr.. Hamilton.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Seeing an article on Democracy and
Socialism in the issue of THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL of November II, by
John S Hamilton, we would like TO
reply to the same. It seems to us
that the writer's efforts have been to
define Democracy and Socialism in
two separate articles, resulting in Z
bad mixture of words. neither defn-
ing Democracy nor Socialism, nor eX-
planning where they differ
Part I.-DemOcracy.
The writer states first that De-
mOcracy is responsive to the evolu-
tionary process and aims at holding
the elector in leash thus trying to
hold evolution in check while nature
(or the Democratic party gets in its
work. I'm answer TO this. we chal-
lenge the writer TO prove that holding
the elector in check or having any
electors at all, which takes the direct
vote from the people. is Democracy.
The second statement is that there
would be no demand for Socialism
if Democracy had not appeared 70
have failed. Mr.. Hamilton denies the
failure OF Democracy, but says, If it
did fail, why? We agree that De-
mocracy has not failed-because it has
never been tried. Up to this time It
has been only a name. Consequently
the need for Socialism, which is only
Democracy with trimmings. VIII the
writer kindly show the people of Will
mington, when. where. and how De-
mocracy has been tried?
Thirdly. comes the statement that
Democracy comes as near teaching
the doctrine of Love one another as
anything that can be conceived by
man. We agree that pure Democracy
would bring such conditions. But TO
consider the ideas The writer ad-
vocates as being Democracy is call
ing white, black; or calling daylight
darkness.
Fourth he states that the Democrat
ic party while in power during the
writer's time (and longer), has never
given any alarming symptoms of be-
ing Democratic. Again we agree,
and one can plainly see that he has
torn his own argument TO Shreds, for
he is still advocating the Democratic
party system and not Democracy. To
force electors, and to force wrong
doors. as he proposes and as the cleo
torate are now doing, is not DemOc-
racy but PlWocracy. the few ruling
the many II is not educating the
wrong doer so that he voluntarily
ceases from injustice as should be
done in accordance with evolution and

cratic party ever had any Democratic
