GOING AHEAD.

A N OPTIMISTIC wimingtonian the other
"A evening while talking with a former resi-
dent of the city remarked that with many Whining
tonians it seemed TO be a second nature to knock
their home city. They are always thinking that
some other city is better than Wilmington although
strangers and former residents and travellers tell
them that Wilmington is a very good place in
which to live and that Wilmington is progressing
at a rapid rate
All cities, however, may complain that they have
a certain percentage of knockers andpessimlsts
They are as natural as mosquitoes or any other
annoyance But there have been developments in
Wilmington that should reduce the percentage OF
our knockers
Wilmington has made and is making progress,
Evidences of il crop out with gratifying rapidly
Consider the new dupont building, the new hotel
and as the latest and of the best Improvements
the proposed new theatre Here are three things
that have come or are coming in Wilmington that
would make any other city feel proud of itself,
and we who believe in Wilmington feel proud OF
them They the things that count, that make
for the material progress of any city
The new playhouse is TO be erected on the plot
Of ground adjoining the new hotel. Mr.. Brady, the
a~New York manager was here the other day and he
is expected to be in charge of the new playhouse
which means that Wilmington will have first
class theatre in every respect
This one thing of itself should be an encour-
agement 70 all those who arc working for the ma
teria advancement of Wilmington. They should
inspire the leaders to greater efforts; they should
arouse still greater civic pride and civic patriotism
among our people they should be an effective
answer TO the pessmistic critics. Wilmington is
going ahead

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.

- OMMENTING on our Public Utilities Com
-, missions friend said the other day that we
had it and asked what good it was doing.
The Journal thinks that the commission has done
considerable good in that it fought the battle OF
the public in trying to prevent the increase in the
street railway fare. Had there been no Public Util-
tiles Commission the increase in the fare would
have been gone by without any more protest than
would have come from the grumbling of citizens
and objections on the part Of some of our news
papers The matter would have passed on.
Practically all students of municipal problems
agree that municipalities should either own their
public utilities or exercise control over them. Con-
troll is accomplished by Public Utilities Commits
sion. The Public Utilities Commission is valueless
unless it is composed of good men. The Public
Utilities Commission is a thing in Wilmington
1t simply placed the city in line with other ad-
vanced communities in that respect If it should
not work we'll it would mean that the application
of the Public Utilities Commission system is not
suited to Wilmington-that we know not how to
take advantage of methods employed by other COM
munities for the conserving of the rights of the
public in its relation to the rights of the public
service corporations
We are not willing to admit that we are differ
ent from other communities. We hold that the
stand taken by the Public Utilities Commission. a
body composed Of fair minded men on this strip
ticket question amply justhos the creation OF that
commission.

RnnSEvELTS STRENGTH.

VATlIAT gives Roosevelt strength is the belief
wv in the minds of his followers that he stands
for the improvement of social and industrial con-
dtions, that he is the herald of the new order
which many observers of political affairs think IS
coming to pass before very long.
These persons are willing TO overlook the &C.
centricites Of Roosevelt his alleged double-deal-
ing and all that so great is their belief that he is
the champion Of what is popularly called progress
siveness which is a vague term that emhodies the
so-called forward or uplift movement.
Another class is attracted TO him because of his
dashing lighting qualities and his personal popu-
larity. These elements of strength enable him TO
make fight for the Presidential nomination.
There can be no doubt Of his personal popularity
If straw votes and other means Of testing public
opinion are of value. And they are OF value A
straw vote" was taken in Bridgeport, Conn. dur
ing a municipal campaign. The straw vote" show
ed a surprising poll for the Socialists, so large that
il was thought that the men who expressed them
selves by means Of the straw vote we're really
Joking. But they we're not The election did not
show the strength indicated for the Socialists by
the straw vote but it did, in a large measure
confirm that straw vote"
The straw votes taken here and there show
concusivey that Roosevelt is far more popular
than Taft and that among the Democrats Governor
Wilson is in the lead. And they lead simply be-
cause the man in the street believes that these
two men more nearly represent his views than any
of the others mentioned for president

FRESH PROTEST
AGAINST CHARTER
Referendum League Prepares
Letter for Voters Opposing
the Measure

Declaring that the proposed new
charter should contain the initiative,
referendum and recall, and that with
out it the will of the people is Ignored,
the Initiative and Referendum League
has prepared letter of protest and
criticism which will be sent to the
voters of this city within the leNI
twenty-four hours. This action, fol-
lowing the protest made against the
charter on Monday night by the league
members, Socialists. labor uniontts
and suffragists will most likely bring
out a large audience at the secold
charter discussion meeting on nelt
Monday night,
The letter Is as follow
On June /, 1907, the people of VIII
mington voted on the following ques-
ton:
Shall the Mayor and Council me-
morialize the next Legislature of the
state to enact a law enabling the peo-
pie of Wilmington to govern them
selves, delegating to the Mayor and
Council. subject to the initiative and
referendum, as full powers Of govern
ment for municipal purposes as are
vested in the Governor and Legis-
lature for state purposes?
This was carried by a vote OF S,toS
yes, and S13 no.
In accordance with this mandate Ct
/ the people. the Mayor and Council
duly memorialized the Legislature Of
| 1909, but this Legislature paid no at
/ tention whatever to the expressed wish
of the people.
The LEGISLATURE of 1911 passed a
| law that the Governor should appoint
a charter commission who should
frame a charter and submit the same
to vote Of the people on June l
1912.
This was accordingly done and a
charter commission was appointed
! who, while they paid some attention tC
the will of the people as expressed II
another question upon which they
voted in 1907, absolutely disregardeC
their wishes in the matter of the initia
tive and referendum.
Further than this, they so frameC
the charter that the people are ever
deprived of any further opportunity q
express themselves on pubic questions
as they did in 1907.
According TO the proposed new chaf
ter, the people have d chance on on
day every two years, to elect a Mayo
and Council, but on the very next da.
and for two years thereafter, thi
Mayor and Council is their absolut
master
Moreover, they are deprived of tn
right to vote on public questions

CARE OF SAVINGS.

VATlLMINGToN is always proud of its financial
w institutions. No city has banks or saving
societies or trust companies that on the whole sur
pass ours No city has such institutions that COM
mand the confidence of their people more than
wmington's hold the confidence and respect OF
our people.
The recently printed statement OF the Whining
ton Savings Fund Society calls attention to one
of our greatest financial concerns that is taking
care Of millions of the money of the people. What
a debt of gratitude the man of small means really
owes 10 such savings banks as we have in Whining
ton, for they make secure his earnings.
1t has been said that it is not so hard to earn a
little money as it is to keep it, but the problem OF
keeping it and getting good return on it is solv-
ed by the savings societies in this city.

FAITH I'M me PEOPLE.

OF LATE much has been said about lack of
~ faith in the people Some persons fear that
the people cannot be trusted. They say that if
they had .ree rein they would drive the nation
or the rocks.
There is no real basis for such a belief II the
people would drive the nation on the rocks, then
our whole theory Of government is wrong aud we
should have despotism at once
Our nation is founded on the belief that the peo-
pie are lifted for Selfgovernment that the major
ny IS capable OF ruling; that the majority wants
10 do right
The entire history of the country shows this
view to be correct. The masses of the people have
met every Crisis. The country has grown and
prospered no other nation ever did in SO short

that the people should be held in check. They have
mistaken the noisy few as representing the people.
They don't The people may make errors now and
then as individuals do, but in the long run they
are right.
The only thing that can impair the democracy
of this country the only thing that can destroy
the people as fit TO govern themselves is an in

are that there is going to be decrease in such
