Ing down upon a broad valley dotted
with farms. The sun poured forth d
genial warmth; the air was balmy;
chirping birds were hopping about
among the trees on which the buds
were swelling, the more advanced
bursting their leaves.
Twenty-Five years have passed since
the man. then boy OF fifteen. had
looked upon that valley, In which he
had been born and up to that time
had lived. During those two and q
half decades it had not changed Here
and there was house which had gone
up since his departure, but he counted
not more than half dozen of them.
Down there to the left was his fathers
farm, the same MS he had left It, ex-
cept that II had lost its spick and
span appearance. The apple trees In
the orchard had grown. and forest trees
near by had been saplings when he
left. The well, the poultry house. the
woodhouse. were there. but they looked
dingy.
The man seemed to hesitate at leav-
ing the station. AS boy he had been
grasping and had quarreled with his
father because that father would not
give him what money he wanted to
spend and had gone away determined
to get money of his own. From that
day to this he had ignored his parents,
but he had got all the money he could
spend and much more. From time to
time be had SO far relaxed from his
business as to remember the parents

some time to make them n visit But
the passion of money getting had got

so much money that he didn't know
what to do with It. A shame came to
him at remembering how he had treat
ed his parents and his neglect Of them
since.
At last he descended from the station
platform and took a winding path
across lots--that same path he had trod
on that memorable day he had left his
home without taking leave Of his par

THOSE Republicans and Democratic Councilmen
who united and put through Council the city
budget on Wednesday night deserve credit for what
they did. The four Democrats voted against Il In
vited public censure. There were those who Dues
toned the validity of Councils action, the ground be-
ing taken that two-thirds vote needed TO put
the budget through. Councilman Slower. chairman Of
tho Finance Committee had heard that such OBJ
eoton might be raised With characteristic foresight
he had armed himself with opinion from City So
noitod Hastings that majority vote all that was
needed That opinion senoed all quibbling thar
score
The chief DIRECTORS TO the budget Samuel H.
Baynard, president OF the Board Of Education; VIII
liam p Bancroft president Of the Board OF Park Com
missoners and Councilman Higgins, Democrat, Of the
Third ward. Mr.. Baynard asked for liberal
appropriation for educational purposes, MI Bancroft
insisted that adequate provision had not been made
for the Department Of Parks. Councilman Higgins
that the appropriation for the Street and Sewer
Department was too large and the for the Police
Department too small
We havo no doubt that the public including the Re-
publican CouncIlmen, sympathized with the motives
which impelled Mr. Baynard and Mr.. Bancroft to ask
for more money for their respective, departments
Everyone favors liberal provision for education and
parks, but when Couneilmen who have intimate
knowledge Of the fiscal affairs Of city decide that
business prudence forbids tho making Of larger APP
preparations than provided in budget their view
is deserving Of respect and weight. Tho Republican
majority has mapped out for next year an economical
administration that cannot fail to commend itself to
the taxpayers and the Department of Education and
the Department of Parks must do their fair part in
that work Of economzing.
Az for Councilman Higgins. his objections 10 the
budget will be viewed much lightly by the pub
lie While Mr. Baynard and Mr.. Bancroft actuated
by high motives in their requests for for
their departments Councilman Higgins simply
trying play politics in his attack the street
and Sewer Department and his almost fearful inter-
est in the fortunes Of the Police Department
We think the taxpayers Of Wilmington will agree
with the Republican majority in City Council that the
budget should be held down to the lowest possible
figure in keeping with the honest and busness-like
administration of the citys affairs.
Mayor Howell has sounded the keynote by his declar
alton favor Of a business administration during the
next two years. The Republican budget is in keeping
with that declaration.
