interest of the City Of 0pelousas,
and we recommend the approval
of all the material and the pay
ment for the same that was used
on the said bridges.
We understand that there is a
street III this city that has been
condemned in consequence of its
bad condition, and we are of the
opinion that it is false economy
I'd buy inferior, articles of any
kind when you can get a better
article even although the price
may be higher.
The lumber that was used will
last for a much longer time than
otherwise and had a cheaper or
less permanent article of lumber
been used, doubtless in a short
time the same work would have
to be repeated.
The same principle applies in
other commodities, suppose you
want to buy a hat, it will pay
you to pay five dollars for a Stet-
son rather than two dollars for q
cheaper article. So with clothes,
a good suit that will last is more
economical than a cheaper one
that would not last with any
satisfaction, and we respectfully
ask that any contrary petition be
disregarded.

AN INSPIRING MEETING.

II HAT was an inspiring meeting OF the Board
Il of Trade on Monday evening when Mr.. T.
Coleman dupont spoke of the boulevard and its
relation to Wilmington
The entire matter was intelgently discussed
some splendid ideas were advanced and a COM
mttee will be appointed by President Purdy Of the
Board TO act in conjunction with the Street and
Sewer Directors and other official bodies in the
suggestion of route for the road through the
city.
II is desirable that the boulevard shall 60
through Wilmington if possible, but the selecting
of proper route, we fancy, will be one of the
have had TO contend with.
The meeting Of the Board was the largest held
in some time, and the thought could not but occur
to those present that If we should have such meet
ing as that monthly, much good for the city could
be accomplished Wilmington would strike live
ly pace, if the Board of Trade could gather in the
people, representative men in all the walks OF
life, at its monthly meetings.
To be sure the topic Monday night was a big
.~-e and il wes brought forward by a big man,
but there are other matters constantly coming up
in relation to the welfare of the city which should
interest citizens just the DUPONT road the other
night did.
Ii should not be difficult 10 have we'll attended
and helpful meetings of the Board Of Trade. II
our business and professional, and in fact men OF
all kinds should thoroughly appreciate that they
owe duty to the city they live in, there would be
no complaint of poor attendance at meetings Of
the Board OF Trade.

Dress Reformers.

Baltimore American.
Recently a dress reform advocate IN
New York was calling for a uniform
dress for women in view of the pres
ent tax upon husbands pocket-books
to meet the vagarles of fashion. AS
yet there is no indication on Fifth
avenue that the slaughter OF birds for
millinery needs has ceased. nor is
there indication that the various and
expensive adornment have fallen be-
fore the vigor of appeal Of the advo-
cate Of a dress Of common style for
the feminine sex.
Now there comes the word that
mems overcoats are going to be radi-
cally changed and the roll collar is
to be slaughtered and in other import
ant respects the attire of man Is TO
undergo such a metamorphosis as has
not been its portion for centuries.
1t is now in order for somebody to
arise in favor of the re-enactment CT
the old sumptuary laws Of England,
by which pains and penalties were
imposed upon those In various classes
of society who went outside the line
marked for them in the quality. the
style and cost Of their attire. Truly
the dress reformer is always with us
and just as truly is It the case tina;
inconsequental fashion proceeds calm
ly upon it's way pronouncing its dicta
with full assurance that both men
and women will bow to its edict.

RECALL oF nrnCEs

A 7 THIS distance it is not definitely known
what prompted the voters Of California to
adopt the constitutional amendment providing for
the recall of judges by so large a majority
100000
The vote was approximately four to one in favor
cf recall, and this in spite of the attitude of the
law makers at Washington on the Arizona consti-
tuition which embodied the recall provision, some
thing that aroused the ire of President Taft
They must have some bad judges in California
for certainly IT would require an overwhelming
sentiment in Delaware, for example, for the peo-
pie even to consider so radical a proposal as TO
make the tenure of Office of judge so precarious
as the recall would make it. If we had the recall
in Delaware, there would be more difficulty than
ever in finding suitable men for the bench. Many
lawyers even if other things we're agreeable, would
not accept place on the bench with the sword of
recall suspended over their heads.

Yes Judge stole that loaf OF bread.
Twas I that took it sir,
My little girl was hungry
I did It all for her.
Twas hard to stand beside her
And hear her beg for bread
Well, thank God she's not hungry now.
My little girl is dead.
You know. Sir, you are very rich,
Fare sumptuously each day.
You do not know the struggles
We have along the way.
Yes, I'll admit I took the drink,
Twas wrong know II we'll,
But what I'v suffered, oh, my God,
No tongue on earth can tell.
Twas the first thing I ever stole,
till you what Is true,
But my baby girl was hungry;
What else was to do?
She was my all you know, sir,
Her mother she had fed,
The tempter came and lured her
And a glamour round her shed.
And so she left her child to die
OF hunger and OF cold.
While she treads the path OF sim

And revels in bright gold.
But God will judge her when she
stands
Before the great white throne.

The faithful hear-well done.
I'm willing you should judge me,
You'll send me up I know,
For in this world Of misery
The poor have little show.
The purple and fine linen

My burdens have been heavy,
My heart with anguish torn.
Oh. did you say that I was free
And not a convict yet.
God bless you Judge. I thank you.
My eyes with tears are wet
I'll ask God to forgive me
And still hold up my head.
For it was for my dying child

In a chat which had with the late
Colonel James II. Mapleson, who for
many years was the leading operate
impresario both in England and in the

some of the greatest singers OF the

Faust which / have given in my

REPORTS ABOUT THE woRKHoUsE.

GONE of the state newspapers are commenting
- on the alleged report of the committee of ply
sicians appointed TO examine the New Castle
County Workhouse. They are assuming that the
report has declared that the conditions at the
workhouse are unsanitary.
These newspapers had better wait until the re-
port of the committee is really presented. There
has as yet been no definite or official statement by
the committee of physicians.
A few Of the down-state papers seem TO think
that the Institution would be conducted better
under state management When the agitation for
a workhouse was first started, it was proposed to
make it a state institution, but the lower counties
objected because Of the expense. There is no
good to believe that the state would manage
the workhouse better than the county does.
Another point is that the convicts should be
given more opportunity to enjoy the open air,
labor in the open. For a long time many persons
have urged that the adoption of a system by which
they could work on the roads would be better
than the present method Of confinement.
