MRS. PANKHURSTs VISIT.

nj RS. EAIAfELINE PAN<HURST, leader of the
IL British militant surragsts, haa delivered her
message the people Of Wilmington and gone on her
way. a little while she will be back in England.
It Is not much to expect that her return viii be
signazod by another series of that will
cite the interest OF the civilized world.
Those tlmid Wilmingtonians who had looked for
sensational dcv opments to attend the visit Mrs.
Pankhurst to this city agreeafy disappointed.
There was nothing sensational about it, It perhaps
not going far to say that most of those who
to the Odd Fellows Hall to hear her Saturday
night did so they wished to see the little
man who has made such stir in the political world
and because Of sympathy for the violent methods
that have been pursued by her and her associates in
their fight for votes for women.
No could have been received more courteously
and listened to attentyey and sympathetically
than was Mrs. Pankhurst in our city Her audience
not large but Il embraced many representative
Delaware and Almost with the be-
ginning Of her address won them and at its con-
cuson rising vote Of thanks given to her for
having come to city her American tour. Those
who were instrumental in inducing her to come can
not fail TO be well pleased with the favorable inn
preston she made upon her Wilmington audience
Many persons have labored under the false impress

up trouble and to induce American suffragists fol-

sunragists We doubt that she had such A purpose
when She landed n she had IT, she soon discovered
that the situation was far from favorable to such
propaganda, and she abandoned IT, Her chief aim in
coming was to make a plea of justification for the
militants and to collect from Americans fund to
able her to continue the militant campaign in Great
Britain. In the main she has been listened to re-
specfuly and at times sympatheticaly and there
is doubt she has obtained her fund. II is said sne

remain They seemed to feel that the OF

TELL us WHY

From the Elkton Wing
Eyerey citizen of this county. who Is
interested in the matter of its eXpendi-
tres and its taxes ought to study the
subject at first hand as nearly as pos
sible
We might begin with an examination
of the recently published summary OF
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913
These expenditures run mp to total
of 5000. 764.95 and this without taking
into account al all the 100000 charged
TO permanent roads. This 5000, 764 % rep
resents the current expenditures Of the
county for the past fiscal year; repre-
sents in word the rate at which we
have been living in our public affairs
And IL is rate which calls for injury
and thorough examination. If in this
expenditure there had been included any
large constructive work OF an unusual
nature. the case would be entirely diff
ferent. AS matter Of fact it simply
shows as jumping mp some $1,000 TO
$50 600 per year in our rate of living.
And that is an enormous jump. Such
a budget OF expenditures must he care
fully probed before we can hope 20
secure NiA ItuNtli'H ca lNf ttAA A'N''
Moreover, as long as such a record faces
lis IL naturally makes the people say on
consenting TO any additions to their
financial burdens in the shape of any
large expenditures for any public inn
provement.
Why have we come To this enormous
increase of the cost in the conduct of
our county government Nobody ought
10 be able TO answer that question bet
ter than our public officials. They are
in a position 20 secure 'he information
needful TO the answari II this Vles

PLACE FOR

PROPER PLACE FOR
BRIDGE APPROACH
From the N Wilmington Labor Herald
There appears TO be entirely too much
idle talk aud argument as to which is
the proper place for the approaches TO
the new Third street bridge. Some few
argue that the approaches should be
along Third. but the majority favor the
westerly approach being from Fourth
street, occupying the city playground at
that point While that is some inn
proVcment over the Third street plan,
neither parties express the proper idea.
Every man, woman, and child knows
whore the approaches. bridge and all
should be. and that is right straight
over Fourth street fhis could be done
with but small damage to the Wilson
Line. which could be easily adjusted
Such sensible plan would mean ethat
IL would not be long before Fourth
street, one Of the main thoronghfares OF
Wilmington, would soon be extended Ia
the river in one straight line. Why 1t
is that our our city fathers and the
powers that be lay down in fear OF
the powers behind them IS more than
the public at large can understand. Il
Is Just such a fear of doing the proper
thing at the proper time that has
placed the city of Wilmington at the
tail OF the list of cities OF he United
States in growth Of population. Il is
not too late yet. Put the bridge straight
across Fourth street aud future gener-
ations will see monuments erected in
the beautiful playground there IN honor
of the wise city fathers who exercised
such good judgment.
