the list of men who write in this wav

As to the situation in New Castle cOuu-
ty our own observations are in accord
with the impression of L. Scott Town
send who publicly declared at a meeting
of West Brandywine Grange on Thurs
day night that in his opinion ninety-nine
per cent. of the people want the boule-
ward. OF course on the surface this does
not appear to be the case, for the oppo-
nents OF the boulevard are putting uD
terrible 'holler" and are trying in every
way possible to confuse the issue. They
remind us of the half dozen frogs which
made such a noise that thoughtless
person was led to wager there was a
million of them
But the advocates Of the boulevard are
beginning to see that it is time for them
to speak out, and some of them are do
ing so. But more of them should ex-
press themselves, and they should in all
cases do so over their own signatures,
and not follow the example OF the cor
respondents of the Every Evening and |
the Morning News who hide behind |
names that mean nothing, which NAV

or devoting so much space in The Star
o its consideration. The boulevard
question is in no way related to party
'olitics, as some are trying to make it
ppear. It is in no sense a personal
uestion. It is not modified in the least

Improbable event The Star would stand
recisely where it does now-earnestly
favor of the project and heartily ap- ,

The point revealed most clearly in the '

The above is a clear statement of the
