MAYOR ISSUES
APPEAL FOR AID
Hopes to Raise Large Sum in
Richmond for Relief of
Flood Sufferers.
READY TO FORWARD MONEY
Theatre Benefit First Public
Move Locally Since Appeal
Came From West.

Stirred anew by further accounts Of
the awful restitution prevailing In
those States OF the Middle West that
have been visited by the most terrific
series OF catastrophes In the history
of the country, Mayor Ainslie has is
sued an appeal coucked In vigorous
language 10 the citizens OF Richmond
for help for the sufferers.
While many, cities have already
raised large sums of money for the
relief work now being carried on by
State and Federal authorities, no con-
certed effort has been made In Rich
nond to create such fund, and tho
Mayor believes that the people have
only been waiting for some organized
plan In order to contribute literally
II is the intention OF the Mayor 10
raise by such means as may be sug-
gested as large sum as possible to
he called the Mayors fund, and he
urges PROMPT and generous response
from the citizens. The benefit per-
formance to BIO given at tho Colonial
on Wednesday afternoon at s o'clock is
the first practical opportunity that liza s
beer offered to tho public OF contribut-
Ing to the organized movement for
the raising OF the Mayors fund. but
1t is expected certainly hoped, by the
Mayor that, no matter how liberal may
be the response to that form OF appeal
Its result may be only tho nucleus OF
sum that richmond and Its citizens
may regard With pride as an cxpres-
sion of tho sympathy OF city Justly
noted for its liberality to all worthy
causes

Calls That Appliance.
The Mayors appeal follows:


Richmond, Va. March 30, 1914.
Il ask the people OF Richmond who
have read the accounts ofthe appalling
disasters that have overtaken our fell
ow-citizcrs in several of the Middle
Western states to do what they would
like those people to do If the conditions
were reversed.
There is a great missionary meet
ing going or in Richmond now On
Friday night at the missionary banquet
heard 600 men loudly applaud the
Rev. MIR. Minakuchi when no declared
that his understanding OF Christianity
Is that It makes him not only his
brothers keeper. but his brothers
brother; and that It's basis Is service
to others.
'If that applause really represent
cd the feeling OF the people OF this
community toward that high senti-
mont. here is an opportunity TO show
1t. ] call that applause TO ace what Ia
behind II.
Cheers for the heroes of these dis
astcrs, sympathy for the bercavod and
distressed, and prayers for the dead
all have their place. but they should
not exhaust our interest There are
hundreds OF people, widows and
orphans. whose homes and earthly
possessions have been destroyed with
IN week. They need shelter, clothes,
food and medicines.
The Governors OF several States and
tho President of the United States have
appealed TO the nation for help. / will
receive and forward Richmond's reply
TO those appeals.
Since the publication this morning
OF the plan for benefit performance
at the Colonial Theatre OF "wednesday
afternoon, number OF citizens have
told mo that they would gladly pay
many times tho price OF tho tickets
for the object sought To lie attained
One man working OF a moderate salary
has notified me that ne will send me SIS
for two tickets; we have a hundred
men who could send me SIS each for
the same purpose.
IF there are any who do not care
for the theatre tickets, ! will gladly
receive any amounts that they will
give. and see that the money rcaches s
responsible hands for the relief Of
these suffering people.

PREPARING TO GET TOGETHER.

+, VERIFYING indicates that the Regular Repub-
IL licans and the Progressive Republicans win ex-
perience little difficulty in reaching satisfactory un-
dersandng with respect to the things to bring
about reconciliation When the temper of the Re-
publican National Committee and the Progressive Ma
tiona Committee is considered the outlook is most
promising. Differences of opinion may arise as to
Of detail but the concensus of opinion on both
sides seems TO be that harmony must be had upon
honorable practical lines and that all Republicans
must unite to prosecute winning campaigns in 1914
and 1916.
Here there throughout the country there are r-
reconcilables who object to any compromise They
represent however, the preponderating senti-
in either organization. That will be shown con-
clusiyey think, by developments in the near flu

The situation has become exceedingly dsquietne
and dscouraging to the Democrats They realize that
with the Republican party reunited they will find IL
exceedingly difficult, il absolutely impossible to

short-sghted to imagine for an instant that they
will be victorious again in many States which are

SUSSEX An Irs R0Ans.

III ". WEIR, an engineer for the Federal Roads
40 Department, has made investigation OF road
conditions in Sussex county. In addition he has told
the people Of that section of our State some naked
truths relative to the way funds are wasted un
der existing conditions, and suggested system which,
he says, would result in placing the Sussex county
roads, now execrable in a condition that would make
them the pride OF everyone in the county
Sussex now has twelve Levy Court Commissioner,
and twenty road supervisors Mr. Weir estimates
that they cost the county $4,000 year and that
the public receives commensurate return in the
way Of road Improvement
AS remedy for existing conditions the Federal en-
gneer suggests that the present policy Of permitting
farmers to work out their on tie roads be abo
ished He also urges that all matterl pertaining to
the public roads be delegated TO county engineer
who shall be responsible solely to the Levy Court
Vther features OF his recommendation are the or
sanzaton OF regular road gangs making main roads
the hrst objects OF Improvement, and reducing ma
terially the present number Of supervisors.
One Of the most encouraging features Of his report
is that the county has within II ample gravel sand
and clay with which to build splendid roads at rea
Bonabie cost. Discussing the financial end Of the
question, he says the road funds now received each
year BY the county would be adequate His suggestion
Is that the county borrow 100000 on bonds and build
at once ninety miles Of trunk roads With five road
forces at yearly expense of $4,000 and sinking
fund Of $4,000 the remaining money in hand would
purchase the balance Of the road-buiidinr materi,
needed.
In short he proposes to replace the existing
expensive and makeshIft system of maintaining
roads with one that will the taxpayers litts more
ana at the same time provide good and permanent

NOT FAIR no SOUTH WILMINGTON.

TT goes without saying that South Wilmington folk
will not look with favor upon the suggestion
made that a municipal hospital for the treatment of
infectious and contagious diseases be established IN
Bden Park. That Is the only park the people living
south Of Third bridge have. In passing 1t may
be said that in point Of natural beauty it is one Of
the handsomest small parks In city. Thousands
Of Wilmingtonians never frequent IT, because their
recreative paths do not take them that II also
may be asserted with a fair of truth, that
The men, women and children living south Of Third
street bridge do not use the park reservation freely
rs they should They however. have the happy con-
scousness knowing that it is there If they desire
to use It, and that counts for much In addition, It
should be borne in mind that the Chamber Of Com
is working overtime in effort to stimulate
The industrial development OF city. It is un-
natural suppose that if large plants be induced
come here. some Of them will locate beyond Third
street bridge and build there Industrial colonies.
In such event Eden Park would an exceedingly
useful purpose. Meanwhile It would gain nothing
in popularity. by the establishment there Of the pro-
posed hospital In fact 1t doubtless would be Stunned
by tho public.

in the function is shown by the fact that Chancellor

dedicated it,
The interesting service viii be attended by most
Of the members Of the judiciary in Delaware and also
by many prominent lawyers and laymen The judi
ciary of Delaware has been distinguished by such hon
orable and able service in behalf of the public that Il
is eminently fitting a memorial be reared in honor
Of the man who first held the Office that now is held
with such signal ability by the Hon. James Pennewili
He also has had many worthy predecessors since
Ryves Holt relinquished the Office. Judge Conrad
who knows more Delaware history than any man IN

life and work Of Chief Justice Holt What he saws
will be strengthened in general sense by an
address by Bishop Kinsman Judicial Character

That Ulster viii not accept the Home Rule bin and

If the British Government assumes esronsibity for

It, Therefore, It is difficult to conceive that Ulster
Will be able TO get far should it decide upon civil
war policy. It may be that Mr. Law has a distorted

Editorial Opinion

From the Dover State News.
We doff our hats and congratulate
Editor Carter, of THE EVENING
JOURNAL, for his Wednesday even
ing editorial: "A Pulpit Story and
Wall Street" That editorial ought to
be printed in pamphlet form. for we
opine that It beats the sermon all to
smithereens.. THE JOURNAL says,
after doubling the assertion of a
preacher, that a man wanting a
Limousine plunged into the market
and made $4,000:
Anyone who knows the stock
market is fully aware that It is
easier to lose than to win. That
is true, even though the specula-
tor or the investor have perfect
faith IN his advice given, Thou
sands of men who have gone into
the stock market hunting limou-
sines have limped out on, foot.
It would be easy to count those
who have ridden out in the OBJ
jects OF their quest.

it. The man who thinks he knows
It all, and that he connot make
mistake in business, is In inme-
diate need of a conservator for
his property, If not for his per-
son.
Let US resolve as good citizens that
one thing we will be certain og in. the
instruction of our children-that they
shall not become stock market gam

tanning books weighing more than
