THE NEW CHARTER.

TN spirit of fairness at least those who
Il inclined to critcise the work of the charter
commission of Wilmington should wait until the
completed charter is made public There is a dis
position in some quarters to jump on the charter
even before il is known what the completed draft
will be.
The result of this kind Of criticism is to pre-
judice the minds of the public against the new
charter and 10 create sentiment against it which
may take considerable effort to overcome before
the charter can be considered fairly and on its
merits.
1t should be remembered that the charter COM
missoners have devoted much time and labor to
the preparation OF the new instrument This
should be taken into account and the charter
should be approached in a friendly spirit and not
on the assumption that it is something bad that
should be condemned in advance.
All reports unite in saying that the commission
have acted as men who have sincerely desired
to prepare a charter according to the needs and
demands of modern city.
In the new charter politics has been eliminated
and a scheme has been drafted which the COM
missoners believe will do away with the strong
criticisms that have been made of the commission
form Of government
The commissioners believe that they have hit
balance between the present method and that of
the commission form of government, that the in
terests Of the people are amply protected while at
the time a plan for direct, certain and effec-
tive administrative action has been provided.
1t is known that the commissioners have studied
various forms of city government, they have list
ened with open ears TO men who have been re-
garded as experts in city government and they
have adopted many of their suggestions. In view
of the laborS of the commissioners and OF their in
tegence it is nothing less than folly for critics
to 90 off half-cocked before they know what they
are talking about.

CIVIC PATRIOTISM.

VATILMINGTON needs to take advantage of the
w wealth of capable mental material that is in
the city Numerous men can do things in their
private business, and the point is whether they
cannot be enlisted in the of the city's pro-
gress If small part of the capable men of the
city could be drafted into the service of the city
and if they would take an earnest and conscien-
tious, real and vital interest in the welfare of Viii
mington, astonishing progress could be made.
There should be by all means live, alert and
powerful body representing this community to the
world, standing for Wilmington and for its bet
terment Naturally the Board Of Trade is sup
posed to be such an organization but how can it
be what il should be, unless it is given more ear
nest support than in the past.
The same thing applies to the new city charter
Suppose the new charter should be adopted It
would be essential to its successful operation that
thoroughly capable men should be named TO hll
the positions created under it. There is more than
a possibility that such men could be secured.
Certain il is that if Wilmington is to 60 ahead
as it should do must have more civic patriotism
more unselhshness and more willingness on the
part of capable men to serve the interests OF the
city

SAENGERBUND SEES
FLANS OF NEW RIVER PIER

The Delaware Saengerbund has ex-
amined two plans submitted by ]. and
n. Kennedy, architects for the pro-
posed new pavilion to be built this
spring at the Saengerbund's summer
home at Grubb's Landing. According
to one plan. the pavilion would cost
81 600; the other about $4,000. These
amounts would provide concrete work
for the main stays. The length Of
either pavilions would be $50 feet. Civ
ing at low tide a landing depth OF
four feet; at high, eight feet.
A large concert hall and a dining
and refreshment room would equip
the pavilion, and during the winter
months the latter could be divided III
half and comfortably heated. The ma
iority Of the members we're in favor
Of building, believing that it would not
only be a good investment, but also
an improvement to the river front.

Good Shampoo for
the Winter Months

"The hair and scalp require sham
pooing nearly as often in winter as
during summer" writes Mrs. Mae
Martyr in the Seattle Record, "and
when a woman neglects this import
ant duty her hair soon become oil
laden and unmanageable.
"A soothing and cleansing sham
poo mixture can be prepared at little
cost by dissolving a teaspoonful Of can
thrax in a cup Of hot water. This rubs
into a thick, white lather, stops the
itching almost instantly and dissolves
every particle Of dust, dandruff and
excess oil Rinsing leaves the scalp
clean and healthy. while the hair dries
evenly and quickly, taking on a
charming softness and rich gloss. Oc-
casional shampoos with canthrox en-
courage the hair to grow long and
abundantly."

DIRECT PRIMARIES.

Dover Index.
The movement for direct primaries
seems to be gaining a storing hold on
the Democratic voters of the state.
The Democratic voters of Wilmington
and New Castle county favor select
ton of all the candidates for state.
county and district Offices and also
candidates for United States Senator
by a direct primary vote. In,princi-
pal we believe this right, but as we
have said before. We hesitate at Sc
lecting candidates for state offices by
a direct vote, because we do not be-
lieve it we'll to trust to Wilmington to
select our candidates for state offices.
Unfortunately, 1t would be possible for
Wilmington voters to control, and
we must confess that we have never
had reason to trust the Judgment OF
Wilmington voters to select the best
men for offices.

Perhaps it was fortunate for the reputation
of Delaware that at the same time the appoint
ment of Mr.. Swain was sent to the judiciary COM
mittee of the senate another appointment, that
Of Mr.. John p. Nieids TO be United States District
Attorney went to the same committee No pro-
test against this appointment no objections on the
ground of unftness no scandal. There should be
a lesson in this for the Republican leaders of
Delaware Why not name men for all positions
and Offices and places on the ticket who will pass
muster? There men, plenty of them, against
whom not word of objection could be raised,
but unfortunately during the last year or so men
have been named for places and great commo-
ton wrangling and discomfort follows. Being
mixed up in questionable political work is not re-
garded as a qualification for Office or Mr.. Nields
would not have been appointed, but why is it made
a qualification in other instances?

Stories of The Day
JUST WHAT HE WANTED.

A young minister settled over a
small country parish was instructed
by his parishioners to procure a pi-
ano for their use. He did so, telling
the dealer TO charge the bill for rental
to the secretary of the parish. When
the bill amounted to S25, the society
being unable to pay it, as well as the
salary of the pastor, the music deal
er dunned the minister for the money,
telling him that he assumed the re-
sponsibilitw. The latter replied that
he never assumed the responsibility
of another, having all he could do to
pay his own bills, whereupon the
dealer threatened to sue him.
A short time after our friend receiv-
ed a letter from a New York collec-
ton agency. to which as well as sew
eral following he paid no attention
until the following short but definite
letter came:
Dear Sir-Unless you remit at once
we shall publish you all over the
country as a delinquent debtor"
To which he replied;
