NEEDED-A CIVIC CBNTRE.

TAT 1LM1NGT0N, one Of the most important cities
w on the Atlantic seaboard is sadly IN need OF a
proper civic centre and It is full knowledge OF that
fact tuat makes it pleasure for to call to public
attention today plans for such a at Tenth and
King streets Stripped Of all details the plan pro-
vides for the building of handsome city and county
building the square bounded by King and French
and Tenth and Eleventh streets; the tearing down
of the present inadequate County Court House; the
conversion Of the site which now occupies into a
beautiful public park and the abandonment Of the
old City Hall in Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets II is estimated that to carry out the
plan proposed, it Will cost the city and county Jointly
about Sl50OOOO That such a civic centre was in con-
temptation by public-spired citizens published in
THE EVENING JOURNAL several months ago. That
public announcement was followed by delays in per-
fecng the plans which prevented until today, fuller
exposition Of the project
We think the proposition will appeal strongly to the
thinking and progressive citizens Of city and coun
y In reality It already is OF the hearty sup
port OF many of them, as it not deemed expedent
go far as perfect general plans and do other
preliminary work until public sentiment had been
sounded in all parts of city and county We
doubt that the proposition win be opposed by short
sighted and unthinkng persons, who have higher
gard for the size Of their tax bills than they
have for the future welfare their city county
The prevailing opinion seems to be- however that pub
lie sentiment will exert itself strongly in favor of
the creation Of the civic that it will
eny opposition that may develop
No one who knows the facts will deny that both
the County Court House and the City Hall have out
lived their usefulness public buildings No one
will deny that the erection of handsome county and
city building covering the square the Of the
present old Court House would be good thing. Nor
anyone dispute successfully the fact that hand
public square Tenth and Market streets will
prove to be of great benefit to the public.
Nor will anyone deny that the widening of Tenth
and Eleventh streets from Market to French streets
and the diversion of vehcuar traffic from Market and
King streets French street will be great advan-
tage
The fact that many prominent officials and bust
in all sections the county already have de-
clared themselves in favor Of the important improve
ments proposed show that they popular with think
ing business and others who are acquainted fully
with the plans and the expenditure they will entail
The only real question that will be in dispute will
be whether the county and the city in position to
spend S5o00o0 jointly bring these desirable things
about. We think that the discussion OF that inn
portant phase Of the question develops it will be found
that public sentiment favors both the improvements
and the expenditures that will be necessary to bring
them into being

THE POpULAR VOTE.

THE latest figures bearing upon the popular vote
for President in the election are as fol-
lows; Wilson, 6156.74S Roosevelt, s92S14O; Taft

vote Wilson. 22.627; Roosevelt, S.SS4; Taft
1896; Debs $50; Chain, 4S4
Combining the received by Taft and Roosevelt
find an aggregate of 7SO4.562, or 1.14IS14 votes
more than Wilson received. That certainly does not
show that popularity the drift Of nation is to-
wards Free Trade Democracy In fact Wilson did
not poll nearly so many votes this month as Bryan
polled in 1908. his popular vote in that year being g.
S9S1S2 236,434 more than Wilson poled this year
Some OF the figures which go to make up the totals
cited above are unofficial but they are near enough
to show that neither the United States the State
Of Delaware is Democratic and that when Republicans
their normal political condition they will
be in position deal with the situation both the
nation and the State in way that ill be perfectly

THE PARDON OF pATRIck.

THE action of Governor Dix in granting a full par
don to Albert 4. Patrick a former lawyer who
was convicted Of the murder Of William Marsh Rice.
an old millionaire in New York City, in 1900 no doubt
viii be greeted by the American public with radical
division OF sentiment to the wisdom of his course
That division Of sentiment with respect to Patrick al
ways has existed While millions have believed him to
be innocent OF the crime OF which he was convicted
and sentenced to death many years ago other millions
have regarded him guilty of one of the foulest
sona man actuated by mercenary motive
It was that great division Of sentiment that mpelled
Governor Higgins in December, 1906 to commute
Patrcks Imprisonment for life in the face
OF the protests Of the condemned and his asser
ton that he desired either death a full pardon In
fact The Patrick involved i'm such mystery
and based largely upon crcumstantial evidence
that il caused division the bench of the New York
State Court of Appeals "The atmosphere that sur
rounded the defendant showed that fair and impair
ial trial was scarcely possible" the minority opinion
in the Court OF Appeals read and that minority opin-
ion had great weight with Governor Dix in convincing
ing him Patrick should be pardoned
In announcing the pardon, the Governor expressed
the hope that Patrick would devote his energies to
complete vndicaton Of his declared innocence after
ten years OF Imprisonment and ncessant assertion OF
that innocence sensational feature Of his pardon is
that his rich brothern-law has expressed willing
to deposit 100000 in the New York State treas
ury and to forfeit ii to the State If Patrick should fall
within year OF his release to establish fully his
innocense Of the Rice murder. The public no doubt
Will watch with interest his efforts in that direction

ITS BEST TO
QUARANTINE

THE EVENING JOURNAL is in re-
ceipt Of letter from a reader who
asks why the quarantine on houses
that contain contagious diseases. is
not better maintained by the Board of
Health. The writer of the communica-
tion sets forth that Pennsylvania can
give the local board pointers in this
respect He says that in his opinion
the quarantine laws of Wilmington are
lax.
Secretary J. Austin Ellison, of the
Board Of Health. was shown the letter
today and in reply, said:
I'VE are maintaining the quaran-
tine laws to the best Of our ability.
In Pennsylvania when a house is
quarantined an officer is placed on
guard to see that nobobdy leaves It..
In Wilmington we have but four
health officers and it is manifestly i'm
possible to place four of them on guard
at a dozen houses, scattered all over
the city We do the best we can by
telling the people they must not go out,
and the members of the Police Depart
ment assist us to enforce the laws as
far as It is possible to do so.
"ln some instances" said Mr.. Elli-
son, q find whore the quarantine laws
are violated the doctors are at fault.
A report reached us in one case
where the members of a family went
to and from a quarantined house.
When we Investigated the occupants
told the health officer that the attend
ing physician had told them they
might take the sick children to the
park. When this doctor was seen by
us he denied saying he had told the
people they could go to the park but
admitted that he did tell them the
sick children should be given plenty
of air."
