WILMINGTON taxpayers and voters should bestir
w themselves. obtain for city the Delaware
river water front that the Wilmington Terminal Com
pany and it's associates have worked hard and
fruitessy obtain It is not enough to defeat the
ploation scheme OF the terminal company and it's
sociates Our people must go in and get that water
front for themselves their children and thereby
let it be known and for all that those hundreds Of
be used for the benefit Of the
public and to foster the commercial greatness of
city. and not be turned TO selfish marsh land
spectators fatten their bank Wilmington
needs that 'front.' and the future of city de-
mands that it be developed comprehensively the
commercial needs call for it.
Before the people here get title it is
that two things be done One is to upset the
the Bulkhesd Law Of 1901. which. competent lawyers
declared clearly unconstitutional The other is
TO take steps to have the Legislature pass one
peang that Bukhead law and another giving to our
city States title those hundreds Of land
under Plans should be foot at-once to
compsh those things No doubt the dodging exploit
will bluster and say they will ght the the
last ditch them They have doing right along
and thus Tar they have been defeated every turn.
When spectators dixie them find themselves up against
the taxpaying electorate of great city like this and
trying to uphold wholly untenable proposition, they
wholly at the mercy Of the people. No public on
cal who has any regard for his political future
come out and champion such an exploitation scheme.
II would be antamount TO political suicide And il also
be said that the whole exploitation scheme is aint
ed with utter senselessness and seshness that
court in Christendom would uphold such a thing
To those who desire Wilmington 20 have a water
front say that the way open for it 10 get IT,
and TO get IL for nothing The State unquestonably
will give to the city for the public benefit the land be-
youd low water mark and the federal will
build the bulkhead and make the h All. that will
main for the city do will be step pos
session of handsome piece of property of the
tract will comprise between 500 and 500 acres,
much as four Delaware farms Of average size. That
land win be nine feet above low water mark and
the city desires TO Of It for purposes
all It will have TO do will be to grass seed and
plant a few and shrubs Such course not only
would give to city the water front it mperatvely
needs. but also of the handsomest water front
parks in the world
The prize is worth working for and the taxpayers
and voters insistent that the City Councmen,
eral of whom have been working so long and hard
70 get II for the expoiters and Spectators shall take
immediate steps TO get IL for the city.

Lesson of Sewing Ma
chine Motor. Look
One Over

Hundreds of people have this week
watched with interest little sewing machine
motor in the window of our show room. Pretty
little piece of machinery. You wonder what
makes it go around and then you say to your
self that it is electricity and don't try to under
stand it. No particular reason to understand
the mechanism, it is the work that counts.
You have seen it run sewing machine at
a cost of One-half cent an hour. II is one of
the little cOnveniences that is possible to the
one whose home is wired for electricity, and
it is more II is the pioneer of the type of ma
chine which is doing wonderful work now. It
is a lesson to you, MIR. Manufacturer. The
time of steam power plants with long lines of
expensive shafting and belts to run light ma,
chnery is passing. The little individual motor
has solved the problem. You hitch it to your
light machine no matter whether it is a sewing
machine or something else.
If you want the machine to run you turn
on a switch When the machine has done its
particular task the operator shuts it off. The
consequence--you use power only when you
need it and as you need il. Could you do that
with steam power and shafting? No. You
must keep the shafting turning no matter
whether one machine or dozen are operat-
ing.
Then the difference in appearance The
looks of your plant count for something. You
don't want the ceiling of your workroOms filled
with shafting if you can avoid it You want a
clean, attractive place, and electricity gives 1t
to you. Whether you are a hOusekeeper or
manufacturer it will pay you to study the lesson
of the little sewing machine motor and then
come in and talk it over with us.

Editorial Opinion
GUARDING KENT FINANCES.
From the Milford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
When the law creating a county
comptroller was enacted by the last
legislature. it was opposed vigorously
by the present attorney for the Kent
County Levy Court. James NJ VOL
colt, and quietly by the hold-over
members of that body, and the same
opposition was found to exist in most
Of the Offices of Sussex county and
the Levy Court at Georgetown. Bu.
the comptrollers we're appointed and
have organized the department so
effectively that now the people and
even the levy courts themselves see
the wisdom of a capable and strong
comptrollership to steer the county
finances and save the taxpayers
money.
In Kent county Comptroller Blff
has had an uphill fight against the
attorney for the levy cou~t and the
members themselves, but h. has per-
sisted in having the money of the
people expended according 10 the laws
and those who opposed him were too
foxy to permit an open clash to take
place. which would have thrown them
under the lime-light of publiaity and
exposed their methods. tits now so
plain that the comptrollership will
keep the grafters from pursuing their
illegal methods. that the weight OF
public opinion has compelled the
Levy Court of Kent county to provide
clerk for the Comptroller at times
when such clerk is needed. and to
other ways uphold him in enforcing
the laws as made. This is their sob
er second-thought. as the people
would not stand for the practices OF
the past. and as the elections are moi
far away. they are trimming their
sales TO meet the squalls.
