= The girls are divided into patrols Of
eight each. under the leadership Of a
guide captain, chosen from their own
ranks, and an older girl, who is leader
and instructor in one. Every patrol
hears the name of some flower, and
each has its own cOlOrs. The patrols
meet ono q week, spending one hour
indoors and one hour out of doors. The
hour spent in the classes is devoted to
work for the proficiency tests by
which the girls are promoted from
third to second and first class scouts.
These tests are planned for the purpose
of teaching simple and practical duties

knowledge Of and a spirit of good ma

WILSON ANn THE LOBBY.

nREsIDENT WILSON'S denunciation OF the so-caled
industrious and nsdious lobby" that he says. is
in Washington working in opposition to the Under
wood Tariff BILL will not make profound impression
upon the minds of the American people. AS rule the
influence Of a lobby matter whether It be in a state
House or in the nations Capitol is bad II however,
a lobby encompass the defeat Of the Underwood
Tariff bill, IL will be public benefaetor. because the
bill is big piece Of perncious legislation that de-
TO be defeated II he passed it will bring
ruin thousands of prosperous industrial and CONNER
eial establishments and hard times and want to mil
lions OF American wage Any influence lobby
otherwise, which may internose between the Amer
ican people and such calamity is deserving Of grati-
tude and respect and not Of denuncaton and

We fear that President Wilson, out Of socitude for
his pet piece OF legislation magnihes both the and
the influence OF the lobby that opposing the Under
wood bill II would be comforting know that he
does not The American people would welcome the
nterpostion of such agency TO avert the evils OF
Democratic Free Trade. In fact II lobby could per-
form such nestimable public service this time II
would do much TO lead the American people TO reach
the conclusion that there two classes OF ohbies
malignant and benign, and that the lobby arrayed
against the Underwood bill belongs to the latter

The late Sir Charles Rose, for thirty
years a member of the American bank
ing firm Of Morton, Rose g. Co., was
q rara avis in public life. A bit of
a lingo, an enthusiast of sport in every
shape, he was nevertheless a genuine
Liberal, never going back on his party.
During the cross currents Of the nine
ties and the Boer war he was. of
course, a Liberal Imperialist. but that
WAS in this one instance TO aid HIS
country in critical times. Politics.
however, was not his first considera-
ton in life. His essentially sporting
character made him universally popu-
lar, for every Engllshman loves a
sportsman. Sir Charles belonged TO
an old Scottish family which settled
in Canada about a century ago. He
went 70 England while quite young,
and after his education had been COM
pleted he Joined the above mentioned
banking house.
He was the owner Of HaFdwieli
House. a beautiful old place on the
Oxfordshire bank of the Thames. a
short distance above Mapledurham
Lock. Queen Elizabeth and Charles I
both stayed at Hardwick. which is an
imposing Tudor house of red brick.

Sir; Several times have been asked
how think one should vote az the
coming city election. Permit me in an
inipersonal way to answer this ques-
tlon through your paper
The chief obstacle to economical and
efficient government in our city is the
present system. which indeed is not a
system, but a senseless patchwork of
iEcoherent and inadequate laws. 1t
has become evident that there is no
redemption for Wilmington until mod
ern and harmonious laws are obtained.
To the last Legislature three things
were proposed thai appear TO many as
the first three essentials to the well
fare and progress Of Wilmington and
its business interests, namely, a new
form OF city government, modern
methods Of collecting taxes and just
methods of assessing properties
These three measures were defeated

AN IMPOSITION ON WILMINGTON.

THE county assessment for the city Of Wilmington
has been increased from $4l76S9 905 to $685.
s54, difference Of s12ISO,049. Under the old
sessment our city paid two-thirds OF the taxes col
lected to meet the financial needs of the county AS
the increases in the rural hundreds for
1918 do not begin be large in proportion as
those for the city OF Wilmington, this year city
doubtless will be called upon to pay approximately
three-quarters OF the for the entire county
That is unjust to Wilmington property owners When
the assessments being "equalzed,' az certain
members OF the Levy Court called it, the equalization
should have been extended 10 all the hundreds That
not done It is useless for the Levy Court Com
missioners TO say that it done. It was merely
another instance of the big burden OF county taxation
being placed the shoulders Of Wilmington property
for the benefit Of property in the rural
districts. II cold-booded and deliberate impo-
sition the people of Wilmington.
