ment will be reached that one be held.
Added TO that hint is the further one that the de-
cison will be reached not from any high-mnded
sense of public duty in dealing with the most i'm
portant question that is before the people of this
State today, but to do everything possible to en-
barass the Republican administration. That is to
be done, it is said by insisting that the Legislature
extend its special session work far beyond the pro-
posed boulevards act amendments. Current gossip
is that the agitation in favor of repeal of the
Voters Assistant law is TO be revived and that
other questions will be brought up. The fact that
the Democrats are in a minority in the Legislature
and that the Republicans also have the Governor
probably will not constrain the Democratic mem
bers to demean themselves like statesmen who
work in the public interest. They have played
small politics so long il has become a habit. 1t
will be agreeable surprise if in this instance they
come TO the front, do the things they ought TO do
and then vote TO adjourn

ATTACK ON DUPONT COLLAPsING.

II He WASHINGTON HERALD, one OF the
Il most prominent newspapers in the national
capital, has made inquiries which satisfy it that
little remains OF the attack on Senator DUPONT
that was initiated by his political enemies in Della
ware and seemingly handled in Washington
through Senator Reed of Missouri, a Democrat,
who did not understand the real situation here
The Herald says:
THE resentment which has been shown
throughout the State of Delaware at the political
attack upon Senator Henry A. DUPONT together
with the dignihed attitude which he has assumed
since the matter was first mentioned has caused a
decided sentiment in his favor in the United States
Senate and il is extremely doubtful whether any
further steps will be taken II is generally appre-
ciated that the socalled charges the result of
political feud in the State, and that they have
been made in the hope of advancing the personal
ambitions of prominent Democrat in the State
who desires 10 be United States Senator.
"Advces which have been received by Senators
to the effect that Senator dupont excited an
tagonism by his success in overthrowng the
machine which had previously dominated the State.
and that he is therefore to be made the target
of those who suffered through his victory. The
fact that the attack upon him was initiated by
leaders prominent in the displaced faction, and
that it has been stimulated by Democrats has been
accepted largely in his favor especially as it is
we'll known that Senator duPont's political cam
pagns have been conducted with the view of elm
mating all the old-tmc systems which made the
Delaware elections constant subject of criticism
Senator dupont himself stands upon his declara.
ton in which he made absolute denial and courted
the widest inquiry The motives of his assailants
having been made clear TO the Senate the sent
ment in his behalf is now practically universal"

ENCOURAGE BUILDING ENTERPRISE.

T VERIFYING that the city government can
H do to stimulate real estate development and
building operations along legitimate lines should
be done. 1t is short-sighted policy TO curtail the
funds of any department to such an extent that
such operations have TO be halted until assurance
may be had that necessary municipal improve
ments will be made. Unquestionably one of the
most important departments of our city govern
ment is the having jurisdiction over the streets
and sewers. When its funds become depleted to
such an extent that it cannot supply sewers and
other things needed, and building operations have
10 be suspended, then assuredly il is the duty of
the city officials to see that the needed funds
supplied, and also the duty of all public-spirted
citizens to insist that they be supplied
There is such thing as expensive economy The
wise municipality keeps pace with private enter
prise and even little in advance of il. Nor as
rule does it display timidity in dealing with works
of development That is especially true regards
sewers, the cost of the construction of which is
made a charge against the properties benefited.
1t is a municipal axiom that if property owners
express willingness TO pay for sewers and other
improvements they should have the things for
which they ask, even though the city may have TO
wait a little while for its returns the invest
ments. When the claims against the properties
become liens which are enforceable, there is little
risk
Nor should the fact be overlooked that every
sewer built means much more than the improve
ment of the property in front of which it runs.
The city at large feels the benefit, the carrying
away of The surface water and sewage operates to
promote the public health, reduce the danger OF
epidemics and makes of the city safer and more
desirable place in which TO live. 1t also enhances
realty values, stimulates building operations and
thereby benefits not only the city treasury but
also trade generally by putting in circulation tho
money that is earned by carpenters bricklayers,
stonemasons, painters and others engaged in the
building trades. 1t certainly is the duty of City
Council supply the Directors of the Street and
Sewer Department all the money reasonably needed
for extending the street and sewer systems here
and thereby giving stimulus and impetus to the
great development work that is going on In almost
all the outlying sections of our city.

DEMOCRATS AND SMALL POLITICS.

DLAYING small politics with big public pro-
Il position invariably Injuries those who resort
10 such practices. That is a fact that the Demo-
cratic leaders in this State never have been able to
learn. They past masters in the political art Of
doing small things, but when it comes to meeting
an emergency in which broad, comprehensive and
patriotic action is demanded, they almost inyar-
iably fail to size up TO the situation.
The indications are that the Democratic MEM
bers of the Legislature and those who direct their
policies, preparing TO play small politics on
the suggestion made by General T. Coleman du-
Pont that special session of the Legislature be
held 10 consider proposed amendments 10 the
Boulevard Corporations law. If such a thing be
attempted, it will be resented by the people Of
this State They are eager that the handsome,
modern road, which is popular and not political
enterprise, shall be completed and thrown open
for public use
In any campaign the Republicans always count
as large factor making for Republican success
The fact that the Democratic leaders invariably
may be relied upon 10 do the wrong thing at the
very time It is necessary for them TO do the right
thing to win political success. We do not mean by
that that the Democratic leaders in this State have
corner IN stupidity. We do mean however that
Delaware Democrat who has intelligence and
VINO seeks to exercise it for the good for his party
usually finds himself confronted bv stone wall

while intelligence exists in the Democracy il IS
an unappreciated quality. Wilmington and the
,Gfai seeuons OF Delaware have many intelligent
Democrats who willingly will attest the veritv of
this assertion.

II is not surprising that the people in the grow
ing section of Montrose, Justtnorth of this city,
are indignant that they have been deprived of the
rural free delivery of mails by the Postofice De-
partment on the ground that the streets in Mont
rose are in such bad condition the woman mail
carrier cannot drive through them. The absurdity
of such plea is shown from the fact that coal
wagons, oil wagons grocery wagons and other ve-
hcles make regular trips through those Streets
and by the further fact that the mail wagon is
much lighter than any of them. There are thirty
five families in the Monrose district, which covers
less than two miles The feeling among the people
there is that the woman carrier who has been serv-
ing that route and who recommended its discontinue
ance until better conditions prevail does not care
TO do il should be substituted and that the
to do the work should be substituted and that the
delivery should be resumed without delay. 1t is
true the streets in Montrose are not paved sur
faced with macadam. The reason for that is that
they are not yet under control of the road COM
missiOners and Montrose has no government of its
own TO look out for their improvement. That
counts for little, however, when it comes 10 rural
delivery. The Montrose streets good as the
roads in ninetenhs of the districts in this country
that arc covered by rural free delivery and inf
nitely better than many of them. If Senator du-
Pont and Representative Heald desire to increase
their popularity in that section Of their home
county they can do il quickly by getting the Post

New York and New Jersey have put themselves

In both States the suffragists made determined
fights The vote against the constitutional amend

II to 3. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw and her asso-
cates in the New York fight Jared better. The

ment il is true, but the vote on it stood "a to H.
In the New York Assembly the legislative atmos-
phere was so friendly to the women that the ad-
verse report of the judiciary committee on the
amendment was rejected and, by a vote of 6S to
63, the bill was placed on the second reading cal
endar. The women do not bank largely on that
vote, however, as they know that both Charles F.
Murphy and the Republican leaders are playing
politics with the suffrage question and that there is
little likelihood that either Of their bills will reach
