IAT lLMINGTON men and women now are preparing
w 10 do their Spring shopping. In that connection
make what we believe to be timely and proper
appeal in behalf OF the merchants Of our city. They
deserving Of the trade OF the and women who
live here and make their money here aud who should,
whenever they 50, spend their money here it
may remain in community and return to active
local circulation.
We do not that Wilmington shoppers should
carry their feeling OF home pride the of per-
hitting themselves to be charged exoronate prices
have handed out TO them goods of inferior quail
y. What we mean is that they should buy here every
article they can when price and quality place It on
footing with goods sold in other markets. If they
viii make that the rule Of their shopping conduct we
feel that the Wilmington merchants will be glad
10 stand such business-like test
Nor is 1t desire to deprive the women shoppers
their trips to Philadelphia whether they be by train
or by boat Those trips may be taken without leaving
in Philadelphia the money that properly should remain
in trade channels here Il should be the desire of all
patriotic wmingtonians 20 assist In building up here
a store system that will be the equal any such sys-
in any other city of its size That will be
accomplished while the Wilmington housewife feels
ii to be her duty to go Philadelphia for everything
she needs while the Wilmington merchants. whose
shelves arc stocked literally with good goods
sonabe prices are waiting for her custom.
Buying is a business proposition We would not
advise anyone to permit sentiment to play part in it
unless all the other elements in the situation be equal
The situation that exists here today is however that
we have the have the goods. have the
prices and need the shoppers. We suggest to the
men and the women of the city that before they do
their Spring buying they sit down and debate with
themselves fairly and honestly the question. whether
they should spend their money at home where it viii

where little of il ever will return If a a

buying will be done at home Then, when it has been
done. go to Philadelphia if you feel like it and wear
the good clothes you have bought right here in your
home town. You will there many things display

you will come home satisfied that you wise in

Salisbury is not of this The understanding
u.s. however that he depends upon the Democratic or
ganizatlon 10 pull him through in the primary fights
That Mr.. Handy is candidate will be good news
to thousands Of Democrats in Delaware Most of them
now look Willard Salisbury the personidca-
ton of political misfortune Jonah Of Jonahs and
a hoodoo of hoodoos
Heretofore Mr. Salisbury has taken it for granted
that Democrat in the State would dare 90 enter the
lists challenge his right the senaorship in
OF Democratic success in the next election Mr. Handy,
by active for support in all three counties
has served notice him that he not only must fight
for control OF the legislative branch of the ticket but
also for control of the Democratic caucus
1t is conceded, Of course. that there is slight pros
pect OF Democratic victory in this staate next Fall
The party, under the leadership of Mr. Salisbury has
become practically morbund. Mr. Handy, however
is determined take advantage Of whatever element
Of hope there may be in the situation He also has
come the conclusion notice by MS actions
on Mr. Salisbury that there at least one Democrat
in this State who will not submit to the Salisbury
heel being upon his neck
That Mr.. Salisbury is unpopular with the people
IN his native State is shown by almost unbroken
defeats that the Democracy has suffered since
be has been lis tolerated leader and by the further
TACT that although his candidacy for the Senatorship
has been Of the political issues in Delaware for
between ten and twenty years, he yet has at
tanned his ambition That he is unpopular with his

has presented in practically every fight it has
tered under his leadership
Mr Handy now is engaged in open fight against
continuance Of "A leadership that invariably has made
Tor Democratic discontinue and disaster. Il may DO
accepted a fact that many Democrats who the
rough-shod methods of Mr. Salisbury aud his arrogant
assumption that he alone OF an Democrats in this
State, has right aspire to the senatorshp. will
rally TO the support of Mr. Handy in the approaching
Democratic primaries. II will be interesting note
how they fare in encounter with the salisbury

UPHOLD THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

NOTHING should be done by Congress that will
" pair the efficiency Of the United States consular
service Any enort to reduce the expenses OF Gov
by striking that should be
strenuousy and persistently by the manufacturing
mercantile and shipping interests of our coupuy.
In years gone by the great complaint against the
consular service that it inefficient and could
not cope with the services maintained by such coun-
tries as Great Britain and Germany. Three reasons
we're assigned for that condition One was at the
Federal Government did not supply enough money to
maintain the service it should be maintained; an
other was that the employed in it were, a rule
shamefully underpaid and the third that the
vice made part of the political spois system where
by it was loaded down with incompeents who never
would have been selected had it not been for their
political backing. In recent years there has been
big improvement in the service Notwithstanding that,
It still is far from what it ought to be.
For Congress to make any cuts in its appropriations
would be extravaganza and not economy. What the
Government would save in such expense it would lose
many times foreign trade, and the profitable
things that go with it. II must be remembered that a
consular service properly manned and administered
is the most potent agency country has for building
up foreign trade If a nggardly policy in maintaining
the service be adopted by Congress it Will strike
blow in the foreign markets that should be resented
by every American, for all will be affected detrimental
ly by any loss OF prestige therein
We do not mean that Congress should wink
condone extravaganza in the service. Nor do
think that any good citizen would resent the exer
else Of any corrective influence by Congress What
mean thai the funds already available for the SER
vice inadequate for its needs it should be
Indeed experience has shown that if consus were
paid better and if money were voted TO them for
the purpose of pursuing their rade-getng mission all
channels of trade in this country would feel the stmu-
atng effect Therefore it follows trat instead of
ducing such appropriations Congress should be even
liberal than it is and make Of our consular
agency which the better paid and manned
services of Great Britain and Germany would be afraid
OoAsuls leauy the captains Of industry are
into foreign fields fight for their country in the
great trade war that now is between all COM
mercal nations If profess to be fighting for SUI
premacy in the foreign markets and send into
those markets underpaid men who know they un-
derpaid, shall obtain a service that is in keeping
with the emoluments that go with it. Congress owes
IT to the people to maintain the service at the highest
possible standard

development of that port by cooperation OF the

getting those millions it may continue practically

about it? Are the business in our city going to

Il Railroad shows that in the last year $3.50 em-
ployes of that company attended the 270 lectures on
first aid to the injured given by the companys medi-
cal examiners the lines east OF Pittsburgh and Erie
The Pennsylvania Railroad the pioneer in Civ
ing such instruction, which unquestonably will result
in the saving of many lives. All the railroads, includ-
ing the Pennsylvania have been striving for to
obtain mechanical appliances reduce to minimum
element danger in railroad transportation The
Pennsylvania has gone step farther It's OFFICIALS
have realized. that Notwithstanding all mechanical APP
pances accidents will happen, and employees and pas
sengers will be injured Therefore they are doing
, everything they can to instruct the company's
poyos so they will be able for the injured prop
erly pending the arrival of regular surgeons and
nurses. The whole aim has been TO reduce human
suffering and mortality due railroad operation TO
The lowest possible minimum
Tho Pennsylvania Railroad began this educational
work in 1904 In the last four years 24S47 have
received expert instruction Appliances for giving
first aid now are carried on all trains and most Of
the members OF the train know how TO use
them Tho railroad company also has enlarged it's
work to extent of inviting policemen and fremen in

,unity presents itself There be only result
from such work and that win be that many human

settling on orchards and vines, may do Just much
damage food aud destroy the hopes Of horticultur

kills the crop. There is no such saving alternative
