LOUISIANA BETTER THAN
CANADA.

Governor Sanders in an adj
dress made at New Orleans on
Tuesday gave expression to wha:
is gradually becoming known
throughout this broad land of
ours, namely, the exceeding fertil-
ity and productiveness of our soil.
A part of the address was as fol-
lows.
81 believe | know something
about Louisiana, her possibilities
and her opportunities, and what
she offers to the actual settler,
and this | intend to try to tell to
the people of our country who
are now crossing the border, and
who last year took into Canada
some $200,000,000 of American
money, and untold millions in
American push and energy.
This is no land speculation on
my part. | expect to earnestly
and diligently work to bring tho
actual settlers into Louisiana.
We have millions of acres of land
in this State that await the in
telligent effort Of the farmer to
bring prosperity not only ii him,
but to the State itself, and if |
shall succeed in bringing enough
people to Louisiana to settle on
and develop, say 10000 acres Of
our land, it means that every
other acre of land in this State
will at once enhance in value, be-
cause every man who COMES and
settles here will become an earn
est advocate of his friends and
neighbors doing the same.
"The bringing Of the actual
settler to the State means the
conversion of waste lands into
productive acres, and the addi-
ton to our body polite of a
splendid citizenship.

The division of the powers between

such nicely that It must result in ef-
icient government with officials of
only mediocre ability One of the
chief defects of our present system
is its ineihciency due to a too great
distribution or diffusion of power and
responsibility. A prime necessity of
city government is efficiency. The
people want a government that can
and will do something, and if mis-
takes are made, the responsibility
can be easily placed.

There are scores of minor reasons

more or less amplified in my previous
letters. Do not let one little, picayune
objection which you have found. out
weigh the big. broad, fundamental
changes above outlined. which the

The charter commissioners or no
one else claim that every provision of
the new charter is perfect or the best
that can be devised. No draft could
have been made that would catisfy
any considerable number of people in
every particular But measured by
the broad reasons above outlined, how
can any thoughtful citizen, who has
sincere desire to improve the city
government, hesitate how his vote

the General Assembly; and those moi

SAYS CHARTER PUTS UN-
JUST LIABILITY ON
PROPERTY OWNERS
To the Editor of THE EVENING

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: I desire TO call attention to
Section 1856 Of the new charter This
section puts upon property owners
liability for all accidents on the side
walks resulting from "any hole, ex-
cavation or obstruction in or upon
such foot ways" Doubtless the inten-
tion Of this section was 10 relieve the
city from liabilities for accidents
not caused by the corporation (the
city, or any of its agents" But the
section goes further. Under this sec
tion If a person should trip on tools
left on the walk for a moment by
passer-by, the owner of the property
would be liable. Contractors are re-
lieved OF all responsibility by this
clause For whatever accident that
may occur on the walk by reason of
any obstruction, however it came
there, the property owner is liable
Why put on the owners of property Ii
ability that may belong to others? The
exemption of the city from liability
for all acts except its own is not the
question The point is. is 1t right to
put on property owners liabilities
that are not their own? Owners Of
property in voting for the proposed
charter, vote to put liabilities for all
Academia on footways originating in
obstructions or defects to the path, on
themselves Under the proposed char
ter there would he only one way for
an owner of property to do. and that
ia to stand perpetually on guard day
| and night lest some one should trip
in a handbag or slip on q banana
pealing As long as wrecked auto
mobile lies on the walk, the owner
Of the premises abutting must stand
on guard to protect himself from ~
ability 10 passers-by He must watch
over tho telegraph. telephone and gas
companies, or be personally liable for
any obstruction on the sidewalks
If any one Is IN doubt as to this sec
ton, read Il.
Respectfully.

NEW cHARTER AND THE MARkETs.

- lie proposed new charter to be submitted to the
at the election next Saturday among the
enumerated powers in Section s. gives the corpora
tion power (secon Page 5, Paragraph Id follows
TO establish discontinue, prohibit and regulate
markets and to provide for weighing, measuring and
inspecting any articles Of food food stus and prevent
the adulteraon thereof and of all kinds of goods,

This grants TO either the Council some other city

oontended that it gives the TO prescribe what

Mr.. Kurz RecapifuIafes
His City Charter Views
To the Editor Of THE EVENING

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-In my series of letters ! have
pointed out the most important rea
sons why ] think the proposed new
city charter should commend itself to
the voters at the forthcoming cleo
ton
To recapitulste.
0) H. secures absolute home rule
to the citizens Of Wilmington
If municipal questions are TO be
properly threshed out they can much
better be discussed before City Coun-
Gil, whose members are the elected
representatives of the citizens Of Will
mington than before the members Of
the Legislature, an Overwhelming
majority Of whom are elected from dis
tricts outside of the city Of Whining
ton, and can neither know nor be ex-
pected 10 know what the people nf
Wilmington really want. If the river
front question had been discussed be-
fore the Legislature instead of before
! City Council, do you think that 200 or
! 800 interested citizens would have
spent $500 or S4.OO in addition TO
! losing day from work. to go 10 Do
yer to discuss it2 Without the en-
! ligbtments produced by such dis
cussion. do you think that the mem
bers Of the Legislature could have
voted intelligently on the question,
knowing what were the rights and
desires of the citizens of Wilmington
on the subject? Il the citizens of VII
mington want home rule and want TO
decide the city's affairs for them
selves. they should vote for the new
charter If they want 10 be ruled
from Dover, let them vote against the
charter
(2) Because II eliminates the party
emblem from the ballot at municipal
elections.
This radical change requires each
voter to pick out his choice from a
list Of candidates, which requires
some thought and discrimination,
hence n tends to make him inde-
pendent. by choosing q candidate for
his character and ability, rather than
because of his party label A candi-
date so chosen is free from the feel
ing of obligation TO political parties
because he is chosen by the citizens
at large without a party label. hence
he Is free to give his disinterested and
best services TO the city without the
blighting effects Of rewarding party
henchmen for mere party services.
The two political party organizs.
tions are opposed TO the charter
chiefly because OF this revolutionary
change They realize that under this
system, safeguarded an it is, by non
partisan appointments and a civil
service. that they can no longer
guarantee TO deliver the municipal
offices for mere party service.
Who is 10 gain from this change
If you want the opportunity 20 gel
nom partisan government free from
the dictation or control Of the two
big national political parties. ther
vote for the new charter.
(3-Because II provides the shori
ballot
The people are given easy duties tc
