Views of James c. O'Neal ON the
Public Utility question.
Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
/ have been reader of your paper
for some years, but am sorry to say
have to note your apatbetic de-
meanor toward the expose which mas
been brought about by one OF your
contemporaries regarding the ire
mendous amount of water which eX-
lists in the capitalization of the cleo
trio light and street railways OF the
city of Wilmington.
It is no wonder with such tremen-
dous interest and rental charges
hanging over these companies heads
that they should seek to get them out
of the publ cand it is foregone con-
clusion that they will continue to
take them from the public Just as Ions
as competition is denied to the public.
In my opinion all the public utilities
commissions that the state could ever
devise would never be able to bring
these companies to a basis OF fair
dealings and rates to the public.
There is but one cure and that Is a
sure cure,-competition. / note that
a new company has entered the field
prepared to reduce rates and estah-
lish an up-to-date plant by which
electric current can be produced at
about one-half the rate it costs the
old company. Why should Whining
ton be denied the advantages of the
very latest thing in invention on
electrical equipment? The franhicse
given to the old company is not ex-
elusive. The old company has had
its chance to serve the public of
Wilmington honestly, but the tempta-
tion to put water in the stock has been
/ greater that the regard for the
public veal, hence, high rates and
still going higher.
The only cure in the world for this
is competition, and the only way we
can hope TO. secure this competition
is by the public taking firm stand
and demanding of its public SER
wants that they shall represent them
in actuality and not in accordance
D.. with their individual views.
The old company when its financial
existence is threatened by cOmpeti-
ton wifi naturally strive in every
way to influence the officials who have
the power to grant the franchise "a
the new company, but it would seem
to me that such officials would be
very derelict in their duty to the pub
lie if they did not listen and were
not guided by the expression of the
public sentiment in this regard. 1t
would seem to me that il is the duty
of the newspapers of this city who
are supposed to voice public senti-
ment, TO look into this matter and
ascertain the consensus of opinion
and desires OF the public. The fact
that the only remaining franchise has
been acquired by the Wilmington
City Electric Company, should go to
prove the eagerness Of that company
to stife anything that resembles COM
petition, and il is reasonable to sup
pose that they will strain every in

How much bold the Wilson Line mas
on popular favor is pretty well shown
by the fact that to accommodate thos-
who desire to make the evening trip
on the boats IL has been necessary TO
continue the summer schedule for ar
other week while the late boats on
which such delightful moonlight trips
are made will be continued on Satur-
days and Sundays for the remainder Of
the month. II is expected that travel
will be heavier than usual for the roa-
son that for the remainder Of the sea-
son the fare will be but twenty-five
cents a round trip including Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays the same
as on other days. Travel on Labor Day
was unusually heavy and the boats
! brought big crowds to this city to the
parks and also took numerous people
in the opposite direction.

GUNPoWDER AND KID

Perkins says he has friend who
has a daughter that became engaged
to a most exemplary person. Her
father, It seems, objected TO the young
man. ION what grounds" she asked
the parent. Charlie is perfectly capa-
Bile of earning an honest living"
'@Shat is all true euough," replied
papa, but / don't want that kind of
a son-in-law. You must remember
that ! want you TO marry a man /
can take into my business"
Perkins is of the opinion that the
point Of this lies in the fact that papa
is president of the Consolidated Food
Trust.
According to the newspapers some
250,000 people who had been away on
vacations returned to New York on
Tuesday. Thus far our holidays have
been spent watching the street flush
ers squirt water over the parched
pavements--when it wasn't raining.
Yet We propose soon to take real
vacation. We are going down to New
ark in Perkins motor car, and We
shall sit by the roadside and watch
Perkins pump up a tire. That's what
We call real rest.
Sometimes there are a few real
truths told under the guise Of foolish
ness, and when the most perfect oi
poetry reveals not only its excellence
of versidcation, but subtle truth az
well, we are the most delighted. Listen

The immense crowds that throng the popular Lyric theater, are exper- fencing sensations of such startling nature, that 1t amounts to fasci- nation.

Mexico and Spain are shown struggling for supremacy a the bull ring. their champion Matadors vieing with one another in death defying feats of daring.
 The consumate skill with which the Plcadors evade the charges of the in furiated bulls, the accuracy with which the banderillos are planted be- tween the shoulders of the madden ed animals, the tantalizing motions of the matadors as they Haunt red cloths in the faces of the raging brutes, is all depicted with a realism that beggars description, and after WltuCSolnS luAS 6AHlpltlNHis Qut ttcl5 thankful that America boasts a S.

EXCUSE ME"

Coming direct from the Gaiety theater, New York, where it has en- joyed one of the most successful rms of any farce comedy of recent years Henry w. Savage,s production of Excuse Me" will be the attraction at the Auditorium tonight.
 Excuse Me" is based on an en. tireiy novel theme. the adventures ot contrasting types of people who meet On an Overland limited tr2in going from Chicago to the Pacific Loast Rupert Hughes, the author, huilded better than he knew when he con- eeived the idea of this farce. Fs wrote to make people laugh. He has done better than that. He has brought out human play, entirely plausible, with real flesh and blood men and women as tho characters The strength of the play lies in it's very possibility. All the scenes take place on a modern train, Pullman cars of the latest types being s'iown The berths are made up. and the verisimiltude is carried to such an extent that the audience practically travels with the players.

"eiRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST :

Henry w Savage is the one theatri- cal and musical producer in Ameiica who is not awed by big understand ing. When he found that to proper ly represent Puccinfs GTHnd Opera, "The GN of the Golden West" in English, it would require 8 'raln load of scenery and effects, Le did not fal- ter, but promptly issuti the oroer for the train.
 So when this great organization is seen here at the Auditorium Friday Dec 22, the production will be in every way as complete and in some ways superior to that made by The Metropolitan House, New York, last winter. That production, it will be remembered. set the pace in the mat ter of Grand Opera in America. So great was the demand to witness 1t
 and hear the glorious suhins of Puccini's delicious score that as high as $75 was paid for single orches- tra seats.
