MO rightminded citizen OF the city Of Wilmington
~ finds pleasure In the financial troubles Of any
honest Wilmington business man. Every right
minded citizen of city experiences pleasure when
a Wilmington business who has been knocked
down by business fights his way his feet
and stands upright in the commercial world
Only those who by nature are small and mean
ioce in the msfortunes of others and seek, by word
or deed 20 accentuate them. BY the same token II
is a mighty who refuses TO fecitate one
of his fellows who fights his way through a Of
troubles to the shore of safety
Several months ago James II. Wright, of VIII
mngton's leading merchants and also Of its most
patriotic and pubc-spirited men, suffered financial
reverses which caused him to suspend, pending a re-
adjustment and reorganization Of his business af-
fairs That suspension caused widespread regret
which voiced privately and through the public
press II is pleasure today to announce that,
through the organization of a stock company, Mr..
Wright has composed his financial troubles and will
reopen his store at Eighth and Market streets
tomorrow
We congratulate him heartily upon the success
that has crowned his Efforts looking to commercial
rehabilitation. We felictate him upon the that
he possesses that human resiliency which enables him
10 come back We wish him weI from this time for

reputable Wilmington business who similarly
situated had displayed the resourcofulness and
determination in fighting his way to his feet

THr yALrr OF A Gun CLUB.

- n nunicnalities realize the tremendous value trap
- shooting and the possession of live gun club
and expor shots are to them? Il is doubtful else
they would give time and attention to their de-
voopment and advertisement
City fathers throughout the country have long ap-
prccated the fact that winning ball team Is an ad-
vortisng asset OF great Importance and few cities Of
any Size are without bali team Of some sort. In many
Instances they are supported by public subscription.
There are two ways OF looking at gun clubs. One
side looks them and appreciates their Importance
as factors I'm the commercial life Of the city. While
this may be considered selfish active gun club such
as the DUPONT Trapshootng Club means much to the
merchants any city The DUPONT Club, in the three
years in which it has been In existence has brought
TO the various industries I'm city, business amount
ing to more than 100000. Figures can be quoted to
prove this The gun club has Influenced business for
hotels meat markets. groceries, cigar stands, bar
bor shops. dray lines clothing stores haberdashers
florists axcab stands lveries jewellers and what not
The other view Of the gun club shows that a pub
lcy agent for the city # has few equals The cost
of publicity Is practical nothing. Every gun club
IS sefsupporting, and few if any ask for help for
maintenance.
Gun clubs bring TO a city class Of men whom it is
credit TO entertain They men who afford to
spend money. and who do It, They travel the country
taking In such tournaments and they carry the
gospel of "a citys class all over the nation. VIII
mington is known the country the home of the
largest and rapshootng club in the world. Shoot
have been entertained at its grounds from every
state in the Union but two and from all but three Of
the Canadian provinces, well from foreign
countries
The DUPONT Trapshootng Club has the reputation Of
pulling OFF of the biggest trapshooting tourna-
menis held The manner I'm which visiting shoot
are accommodated and entertained while in
city would rebound with credit TO any municipality In
the world Nothing has been left undone to make their
stay pleasant Special care has been exercised that
they leave with lasting impression Of hospital
ity There than half million trapshooters in
the United States Il is safe say that every OF
them knows of and has discussed the Wilmington club
When shooter wins OF tht large yearly trap
shooting events his is I'm the mouth Of every trap
shooter in the country, and the town from which he
halls Is associated with him. Few would know Of
Keithsburg H., It not for "Tom" Marshall. the
great rapshooter. The same applies to Spirit Lake,
from whence comes Erred" Gnber-the great and only.
OFalon. H. is famous because OF "B" Crosby; Oron-
ogo. Missouri because of "Harve" Dixon: Trevezant,
Tenn, because OF Jen Blanks; Planhed, ~ j.,
because of Tom Keller. and so ON, indefinitely.
Wilmington owes much to It's trapshooting club' and
should continue 10 show interest in it's welfare.

+ ROM Mrs. Kate f. Mclinsey. a prominent suffra-
gist in this city have received the following:
To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Srl admire your editorial In the paper of last
Ing in regard to the coming suffrage parade May g
We shall not have such dsgraceful as were en-
acted in Washington last year II city authorities
will give us the protection should have. The parade
out 70 show that seeking TO have the right to
vote for the protection of homes and families.
Therefore, demand proper protection. and enough
bf it, on that day. Respectfully
X. f. McKINsEY.
The best protection the suifragsts will have on May
viii be that respect for womanhood that is inherent
In Deawareans. That is voluntary and not an en-
forced respect. AS have suggested before, there
will be those the sidewalks I'm Market street on
May who will respect both tho women and the poti-
cal cause they represent There will be others who
viii respect the Notwithstanding they will not
respect the The Delaware sunragists have
shown by the policy they have pursued the past that
they respect the public It will be seen therefore,
that side of the situation il presents itself
there is that feeling mutual respect which augurs
well for May 2.
Il goes without saying that, TO guard against un-
forseen contingencies Mayor Howell and the other city
officials will TO It that the short route of march
from French street station up Market street to the
Court House will be properly policed. Nor is there
any TO suppose that Chief Of Police Black and
bis men viii fail TO do their duty in the matter But
with Il ALL the greatest and best protection the women
marchers viii have will be the high respect I'm which
as women they deseryedly held by the Wilmington
public.

MrxIcAN VAR AND AMERICAN BUSINESS.


r is the patriotic duty of a national administration
1 to uphold and defend the honor OF the nation
It is am equally patriotic duty it to do il with as
little disturbance of the active and orderly transaction
f business possible.
Our trouble with Mexico IS a serious one in sense
but i is not which should lead either the American
Government or the American people TO look at II
through magnfying glass and thereby lose all sense
proportion and all regard for material interests
lere at home.
There can doubt relative to the outcome Of war
nth Mexico The United States is rich powerful and
Intelligent Mexico is poor. weak and ignorant II
Fould be poor compliment to the United States to
nggest that its armed forces cannot beat the Mex-
ans their knees and compel them to sue for terms
4 peace
AS there can be doubt relative to the outcome Of
he struggle both the national administration and the
public should keep their heads and decide to put the
Mexican enterprise through With the least possible
injury to American business.
Ours is a commercial nation. Il should demonstrate
the present crisis that It fight abroad and at
NE same time, transact business at home The preva-
cnt idea that buying and selling here at home should
,ease or be reduced materially because are having
rouble with impoverished and disordery neighbor
lhould be oombatted by all sensible and particu-
srly by President Wilson, who should recognize
rze the importance Of conducting the Mexican opera
lions with a minimum of attendant domestic disturb
mce.
American business has suffered too much already
through warfare made upon it, in Congress and out
of Congress- by the Democratic national administra-
lion. Certainly its suerings should not be increased
unnecessarily simply because nation has em-
barked upon a warlike enterprise which is Of such
one-sided nature that its outcome may be written in
advance with perfect safety.

.erHE HING CAN DO NO WRONG.H

From the Salisbury News.
The editors of the Salisbury Ad-
vertiser accuse us of making a bitter,
personal attack upon Messrs. DISH
aroon and Freeny, members of the
Wicomlco Delegation in the House
this winter. The editors of the Ad-
vertiser are wrong, as they generally
are We made no personal" attack
upon these two gentlemen. What we
did was to criticize their actions as
public officials, a thing we have per-
feet right to do and we propose to
assume this right whenever we be-
lieve there is occasion for same. The
public acts Of public servants are al
ways open to public criticism and as
we do not happen to belong to the
class who think "The King Can DO No
Wrong" we shall take the prerOgative
which belongs to a live, progressive
newspaper of criticising the acts Of
our public servants whenever we be-
lieve they failed to live up 10 their
public duty.
The Advertiser starts out with the
proposition that no county be allowed
to pledge the property of the taxpay-
ers without first obtaining the con-
sent by a referendum. If this was in
tended to create the impression that
these two gentlemen stood upon this
principle in the Legislature, then we
most respectfully submit that they
failed to live up to this principle, II
they both supported the bill to bond
the city of Salisbury for 100000 with
out a referendum. II it was wrong in
principle to bond the county without
a referendum then it was wrong in
principle to bond the city Of Salisbury
without the same safeguard. It's a
poor rule which will not work the
same in all similar cases SO we take
/ it that there was nothing in the way
Of settled principle which influenced
/ the acts of these two gentlemen on
this question.

Editorial Opinion
SMYRNA Mil SMAT FLY.
From the Smyrna Times.

From the smyrna Times.
The Civic Committee OF the Twen-
tieth Century Club is starting early
on a "Swat the Fly" campaign, Is
posting notices and making appeals
to rid the community of this great
nuisance. Let the Smyrna people
give this committee their hearty and
earnest support and cooperation.
This local and national movement for
the determination of the fly is no idle
enterprise. II may take years to
reach anything like complete success,
but Il Is progressing with great hope
fulness. lt Is one of the most practi-
cal propagandas promoted IN this
country In late years, and We have
promoted a good many It's extreme
sanity rests on the fact that 1t seeks
to deal with causes more than effects,
to prevent rather than remedy. And
this Is the most effectual method OF
procedure against the fly. Il will be
but a few days now till this nOxious
foe TO health and comfort swoops
down upon us. on the theory that
the early bird catches the worm, LET
everybody have his swatter ready for
the early fly and see that none es-
! capes. One method of defense is to
have screens IN good repair and up
before the fly arrives. But that is
not fundamental: that is dealing with
effects. The better way is to rid the
premises of all substance-trash OF
/ what not-that tends to draw flies
| Tht is dealing with causes. There
are countries where flies are un-
known. Ours can be made such. II
Is the duty OF every person TO coop
crate toward making it such--a duty
the benefits Of which all share in.

LITTLE TALKS WITH
WANT AD READERS
o

The governments of the world have
dotted their shores with life saving
stations so that the mariner In dis
tress can summon aid and, in this
way. many lives are saved annually.
What Is true on the sea Is true
to a greater degree in the business
world and the great and little news
papers, of every city and town, have
established "a system Of life saving
stations which are known as the Want
Columns.
Each little Want Ad. of these thou
sands. is a separate station upon
which the man, or woman, who Is In
need. may call to have that need sup
piled.
The Want Ads furnish work for
the unemployed and, In this way,
they. like the life saving stations OF
the coasts, save hundreds Of lives
from noverty and want If not from
actual death.
All one has to do is to call on the
Wants and they act swiftly and sure
" and all the call costs is, either q
two-cent stamp to answer an Ad, oI
the few cents that II costs to insert
ones own Want Ad.
All the old, experienced mariners
on the sea of business attest the
value of the Want Ads I'm forming ca
reers, in giving near-wrecks new
start in life Ind in holding out to IN
young of both sexes inducements Z
better themselves and make NOR
money for their families, or those de
pendent on them.
The masses are gradually beinl
trained to scientific use OF tn,
Wants and their success Is wei
proved by the vast number of peopl
who daily call on these business lif
saving stations for success.
