WEDNESDAY TO BE
RED LETTER DAY
Busy Voters Plan Strenuous
Campalgn---I Increased AC-
tiVity Everywhere

BY A. o. Johnson, 80 Union Sjuare,
New York.
Wednesday will be the second red
letter day and as the people have
grasped the great value of this day +,
no doubt the contest merchants will
have n bigger task on their hands
than ever 1t is a pleasant one, how
ever, and they will take care Of your
needs and push out among you the
red letter votes just as fast as you
are entitled to them. Remember that
this is the day to get the women to
shop at Lippincott g. Co Such or
ganizations as are composed of men
should make sure that they receive
the full support of the fair sex, for
without them you are aspiring with
the odds against yau. The Fraternal
Order Of Eagles can well take this
hint for in scanning the reports the
writer finds this a weak point in their
structure. No doubt this will soon De
remedied, but delay means just SO
many thousand votes lost.
Next Saturday will be Another
PIunger.
From present indications next Sat
urday's report will contain the most
genuine surprise Of the contest Some
much belated votes are coming in
which augurs much towards this end
There are two contestants that have
already awakened to the little time
now left them to do winning stunts
in the vote getting business. So far
the big contest has been apparently
sailing along on smooth seas with lit
tie change in the complexion of things
but like old dame nature the weather
prophets predictions some times &c
astray and surging waves supplani
the glorious calm. The sun rays are
lost to the binding fash Of lightning
and those unprepared to meet the de-
structive onslaught of the elements
must suffer the consequences. All hu.
man deeds and endeavors are subject
to the destructive forces of some en-.
emy. No castle was ever built that
human genius did not find some means
to destroy Therefore the big con.
test is a creature of human prepara-
ton, and as It progresses to that
eventful November 1st. great pyra-
mids of votes may prove the tower ci
Babel and 60 tumbling into a mass OF
ruins under the mighty charge of con-
tending forces. The moral: Don't al
low confidence to be a thing supreme
don't think because you are a few, OF
even many laps behind, that your
case is hopeless. Splendid achieve
inn
able, for the want of courage to push
ahead, and surmount what is appar-
emily discouraged obstacles. There is
small glory I'm a battle easily won. II
may be ere Saturday rolls around
that the contest mans surmises were
at fault and that that mighty band o
workers for the Jr. o. u. A. M. viii
still carry the banner another weel
for they are a faithful and persisten
crowd TO express it mildly. The
are no doubt determined to see tina
beautiful library find its way event
ually into their home in Wilmington
There is no question about the spler
did performance Of such good books /
such a place for a library would q
incalculable service to the member
who come and 90 in generations {
come.
Still a library is or should be tn
logical ambition of every institutio
or organization, public or private, fo
such as the one IN evidence is a ric
opportunity indeed. The text of thes
books covers every variety of huma
thought, ancient. medieval and mod
ern, and justice has been done thes
crowning efforts of present and de
parted genius, by clothing them in fl
ting raiment. Treasure thoughts j
rich bindings is the description com
