THE CHEERFUL NEWCOMER.

NANY new comers to Delaware are soon i'm
i Il pressed with the possibilities of this State.
Sometimes they meet a shower of cold water at
the hands of the battalion of our native moss
backs who decry their own State and say that
things might be done in other communities but
not in Wilmington or in Delaware This is
rather chilling reception, and the stranger won
ders what sort of community of knockers" he
has struck. Then he begins TO look about for
himself and to compare Wilmington and Delaware
with other communities. Often after such an ex-
animation he concludes that we have some queer
folk-'k knockers'-in Delaware. And often the
newcomer becomes really enthusiastic and SAYS
Delaware is a good enough State for him and
II the knockers chose TO sit idly by and
grumbe, he, the newcomer, will become cheerful
and proceed to reap some of the harvest that sur
rounds those who keep their eyes and ears open
and have an ordinary amount of energy
he other day we heard a man quote "bie
railroad man as saying that Delaware is an un-
worked gold mine. The railroad man was new
conner, but he was quick to grasp the opportun-
ties IN Delaware just as Mr.. T Coleman dupont
and others have been able to realize the possib-
ties of this State
The Delaware Railroad Company can do great
deal IN boosting Delaware. 1t is doing more than
II has done If all the potent forces in Delaware
should put their shoulders to the wheel the State
would max great progress. The Journal alwavs
lkes to see newcomers make themselves known
IN Delaware. They stir some. of us who are in
cllned to go to sleep from our letharev and thev

leaders of Kent foremost in leading the oppo-

astonishing arguments against it. We think,
therefore, without intending TO be unjust to the
leaders of thought in the lower countless and espe-
clally the newspapers there, that they have wider
field for effective effort than we have in Whining
ton.
Whether the Republican party is managed by
machine or not in Wilmington the Sussex Repub-
lioan will find fancy, that when progressive
measures are proposed in state conventions repre-
sentatives from Wilmington will not be lined up
in opposition. Let sentiment in favor of clean
politics and progressive legislation, not the wild
harum-scarum kind develop in the lower counties

OUR CITY ELECTION AND THE STATE.

THE SUSSEX REPUBLICAN expresses itself
L at great length regarding the recent city
election in Wilmington and with the proper justi-
hcation that what concerns Wilmington concerns
the remader of the state and influences the poll
tics Of the state.
The Journal has no particular objection to what
the Republican says as to the spirit of progress
which exists in Wilmington. All we have TO saw
is that this same spirit should make itself mani
fest in the remainder of the state There has not
been much evidence of such progress being made
The Journals observation has been that anv-
ming in the way of progress that finds expression
10 the platforms of the two parties at the Dover
conventions proceeds from Wilmington and we
think that on the whole the Wilmington members
OF the Legislature usually stand for progressive
measures.
In some respects this is quite natural. Public
opinion is more sensitive here. If the Republican
city administration proves a failure, the people
rebuke il at the polls. There is a shifting of con-
troll which must put each party on its mettle
a concrete example of the point we are irving
y make was illustrated in the manner in which
ne Public Utilities subject was dealt with at the
Legislature. The bill should have applied to the
Wate, but the sentiment of the members of the
Senate from the lower counties with one excep-
uon' regardless of politics was against the
measure

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

G ONE persons often say that Board of
- Trade is not doing much as it should do
and they think that there are many things that it
ought to do. Perhaps no persons would be freer
TO admit the shortcomings of the Board than those
themselves who most actively engaged in its
work But do those who criticise the Board ever
think Of the obstacles against which the Board has
to contend? For the Board of Trade to be of
great service il must have fuel to keep its engine
going that is money But very few of the busi-
ness men and manufacturers of Wilmington, we
venture TO say, know of the financial condition of
the Board Perhaps some of them do not care.
We may say, however, that the Board operates
with, comparatively speaking very little money
How the members do so we'll with so little money
is really mystery to us. The Board of Trade
should have largely increased financial resources
II VIII especially need more money that il is
believed Wilmington is to 60 forward at a more
rapid pace than it has moved in the past
The dues of the Board, even at the advanced rate
of $40 a year, are slight The Board finds that
It must supplement the receipts from dues by con-
triouuons from those who may be disposed TO
give. Some of our larger concerns should. we
tnnk, contribute much more literally than they
have done. And there is hardly business man in
Wilmington that could not help a little.
Let us consider what the Board is Whether il
IS good or bad, whether we like the way il does
things or not, the fact is nevertheless that il
Sl@poS' anu - 50 recognized throughout the coun-
try, as the official body that represents the COM
mercial and industrial life of the city. 1t is the
Official spokesman for the business and manufac-
turing interests Of the community. You cannot
argue against that fact
1t is just as necessary that this voice of Will
mlngton should be loud and clear voice as il is
that we should have good Streets fine buildings
and all that.
And the Board can be made highly effective if
those persons who can afford to make il such do
not shirk the responsibilities which come upon
every man engaged in any OF the pursuits which
make up the civil and industrial and commercial
life of the city

'CaSCaretS' Splendid

The Rule for Old People is-One Cas-

Most old people must give 10 the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural II Is Just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
And most of them need them daily.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this

bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages. but never so
much as at sixty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day What the bowels

who left his moving machine in the field where
he last used it in haying and next spring he pow-
ed around it rather than go to the trouble or cost
of moving it.
