season just ended. This is a point in
which tire manufacturers are deeply

there Is keen though friendly rivalry
AT the sfxty-four shows 6,597 cars
were shown. The tire equipment of
this great army Of handsome, new
models was divided among twenty-nine
makes. Goodyear no. im-cut tires were
the equipment Of 2,2S4 cars, or 34.6 per

entitled to credit for having brought the question 10
the attention Of Council and obtained such quick
and decisive action. AS the ordinance was framed
originally provided for the closing Of all such places
at II p. The fact that It was amended to extend
the time to midnight shows that it was no spirit Of
nlberaty which prompted Councilman stover to ask
for action by Council
There had been much complaint by persons living
in the neghborhood Of certain Of the poolrooms that

SEIZE THE Fruits OF VICTORY.

THT ILMINGT0N must have waterfront on the Del
w river and it must be under the control
of the city and under the control of taxdodging
exploiters and spectators The that the net
derived by the city of New York from its mu-
nicipallyowned docks and slips in 1911 amounted to
approximately s45OOOOO shows how foolish is the plea
that the only successful operation of waterfront is
private operation If the Delaware river waterfront
from the mouth of the Chrisana river to Edge Moor
developed by city with the high degree
of intelligence that has characterized for instance the
development of water system, in few years that
waterfront not only would be self sustaining but
of profit 10 the city.
II is useless for the taxpayers and voters who in
terested in this important question to look to City
Council to do anything toward the furtherance of the
citys interests in this respect Most OF the Council
men have shown clearly that they rather would as
sist the Wilmington Terminal Company and its
socates to get the hundreds of Of State land
the waterfront than TO assist the city to get that val
liable tract These things are apparent;
That the city Of Wilmington needs and must have
It's waterfront and that It and control it for
the public benefit
the courts the unconsutonality OF the Bulkhead Law
Of 1901.
That the Legislature must be asked TO vest in the
city Of Wilmington the States title to the land under
between low water mark and the line of the
proposed bukhead on the Delaware river waterfront
Edge Moor.
That when that has been accomplished proper iu-
nuence must be brought to bear upon the Federal
eminent to have il complete the bukhead and the
fill back OF It.
That following that comprehensive plan be prepar-
ed for the development tract OF 500 or 500 acres
OF land for pier waterfront park manufacturing site
and other purposes
As the members of City Council refuse to heed the
demands of the taxpayers and voters that they take
the steps needed bring about these desired things
Is clearly the duty OF pubcspirited patriotic men
and women I'm Wilmington take the natter up them
selves and see that what ought done TO protect
the citys interests is done This is no time for those
who have defeated the scheme of the Wilmington Ter
mnal Company to get away with his valuable water
front to remain Idle. The defeat OF the scheme was
great victory, it is true. for the taxpayers and
voters. Their duty is to follow up that victory
by taking steps to for themselves and for their
children and their chdrens children the fruits of that
great victory the waterfront exploters and spec
ulators
Something must be done Now is the time to do IT,

From the Delaware State News.
The question of what we shall do
with our ex-editors has been solved
by Albert w. Cummins. He has gone
back to work. Mr. Cummins succeeds
Mr.. Hill as editor Of The Morning
News. When we heard that Mr.. Cum
Minis was not to forsake Delaware,
il was Fourth of July and we made
an extra huzza from the good news
Beside being an all-round editor, Mr..
Cummins is a jokesmith. He can make
one Of our pr-r-r-oudest Democratic
conventions look like a minstrel bur-
lesque the next day He can laugh
himself at the fun he has with the
Sussex Progressive.e The Arden Re-
public comes in under his pen for
rich and racy twitting In fact, there
is scarcely a happy feature of our
Delaware life, even to Mr.. Soper ap-
pies and Paynter Frames water
melons, that escape this brother Of
the pencil and pad.
He has heard the Call Of the Coun-
try and has come back, like Editor
George Carter who also owns fine
Smyrna farm. We welcome his return
to the editorial fields and trust that
none of our caustic comment may
cause him to shed bitter tears during
the silent watches of the night.

OVERCOME UNWORTHY OBJECTION.

THE Dover State News says Good roads, good fruit
Il and good candidates ought certainly to bring
happiness TO everybody this year sxteen-foot stone
road from Dover TO Cooper's Corner! This is big
move for Delaware community and Commissioner
Donoho in completing it, will crown with success his
term in Office" Every foot OF stone road that be
built m Delaware will be a blessing TO State that ia
woefuy in need of a good roads system. The best
thing that possibly occur however, far as the
State at large is affected for the way be cleared
for the building of the DUPONT Boulevard With such
a trunk line as that extending the length of the state
the money they contribute road is used for
the building Of permanent lateral roads making into
the boulevard
II is reproach TO Delaware that such magnificent
enterprise has been retarded by the objections Of
shortsighted persons and smafry politicians. There
is state among the Middle Atlantic States that is
in need Of good roads than own and there
Is perhaps no other State in the Union which such
q magnificent sft as is proposed by General T. Cole
DUPONT would have been greeted with such scant
courtesy by those who should have received It with
gratitude.
To the credit Of Deawareans, be it said large
iory Of them is heartily in favor Of the road I'M
fortunately however there is active and organized
minority that is bending all Its energies defeat the
enterprise. II the court decide that the Boulevard
Corporations law is constitutional the overwhelming
majority which avors the great road should unite at
and all the foolish objections that have
been raised by those who acuated by political or
other unworthy motives in dealing with one Of the
most important questions that is before the people Of
our commonwealth

EDITORIAL OPINION

ware peaches are famous and that
state has already established such a
high reputation through the work Of
those who have gone into the bus
mess that all its fruits and vegetables
are sure of a ready sale. The adj
vertisine has been done and the mark
cts have been established, but the
output OF the state does not meet one
tenth of the direct call for grown
In Delaware" stuff that now exists.
Delaware is used as an example be-
cause the fame of its products is so
well established and its people so sad
ly neglect their opportunities, but the
same is true of nearly all the other
eastern states. The call In New York
is for Rhode Island turkeys. Philadel-
phia. capons and squads and Long
Island ducks. just as it is for Della
ware peaches and grapes. But Della
ware has this advantage-land is
cheap. The city dweller with little
capital and a desire for healthy out
door life can establish himself on a
twenty-acre fruit farm in that state
for what it would cost 10 move his
family and household furniture to
Oregon or the Canadian Northwest.
Intensive cultivation is what pays.
Twenty acres is all the average
market gardener needs to give his
energies full scope. and a good living
can be made on half that acreage. 1t
is quality and freshness that count
in big city markets. such as New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. A
single hotel will take all that several
such farms can produce and will pay
more than the regular market price
in order to get fresh stuff every day
This class of trade is well established
and many of the best hotels and re-
staurants advertise that they receive
supplies daily from their own farms
OF course, few if any of them own
farms, but they have farms under
contract in the way described.
It does not cost much to start and
there is always a future in the busi-
ness. After such farmer has ac-
cumulated a little money, he car
branch out into the hothouse busi-
ness and can raise fancy fowls, al
on his original twenty acres. so that
he will be busy and have money com.
ing in every month of the year

DELAWARE TRUCE FARMS.

From the New York Commercial.
If a business man knew of a ready
made market that would absorb all
the goods that factory could turn
out at prices that would yield from
the annual turnover, and that these
goods always have been and always
will be in steady demand, he would
put his money into such an invest
ment without a moments hesitation.
II his plant would never become out
of-date. but would actually increase
I'm value with constant use he would
think he had found a gold mine, if he
could make himself believe such a
thing possible.
A small truck farm within few
hours travel of any large eastern city
is such a gold mine in the hands of
any intelligent and Industrious man,
and it is within the reach Of a poor
man. In the state of Delaware. for
instance, are thousands OF acres OF
splendid land well suited for fruit
farming and market gardening These
farms are within striking distance OF
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore
Washington and other cities with a
combined population of about ten mil
lion people who now have TO draw
their supplies of alleged fresh fruits
and vegetables from distant points
such as Florida, Texas, California,
Oregon, Bermuda and the West Indies
yet fresh stuff grown near at hand,
always commands a premium. Della

Grace, how perfectly appropriate
the sobriquet given to John Kelly
was, Honest John Kelly Kelly
clinched his right to that title after
the exposure was made of the bribery
of all but three or four members of
the board of aldermen for the fran
chise given for horse car tracks on
Broadway. When the new election
for aldermen Awas pending Kelly,
from his office in Tammany Hall,
gave command that not one member
of the organization who had been a
member of the board Of aldermen
ehould be renominated.
Many times ! have effected upon
the career of John Kelly. and I am
more and more persuaded that had
he not been an absolutely honest
man as far as money matters we're
concerned, he never could have re-
organized Tammany Hall after the
Tweed exposure so as to bring back
to its former prestige and power"
Years after John Kelly's death,
when the charter for Greater New
York was adopted, his plan of pay
ing the sheriff OF New York county
a fixed salary was adopted, and the
fat fees that used to go TO the hold
or of that office and his political or
ganization now so to the people.
