~ ENocRAT1C leaders in Kent county seem to ho
~ in a terrible pother about direct primaries. Il
is clearly evident that of them fearful that
their days Of leadership will end if the primary
system I'm in New Castle county be extended
TO county and the Democratic voters in the mid
land county accorded opportunity to pass judg-
ment upon their big and little bosses.
It is difcult to how the Democracy Of Kent can
afford to so record against direct primaries. 1t
always has made an open profession Of standing for
the voice of the people and majority rule though
It has been boss-rdden for half a century 1t
perhaps would be good thing for the Republican
party in Kent we're the Democratic County Committee
to go record against direct primaries. Many Kent
Democrats whose backs CALLED by being boss-rid-
den would manifest in practical way, their resent
ment of such course
There is not hundred in Kent county that has not
a Democratic boss whose arbitrary action in framing
up conventions and foisng creaturecandidates upon
tickets has alienated Democratic voters Although such
voters helpless under the existing primary system
they would constitute potent force under the direct
primary system and would find much pleasure il break

THE OLD CANAL, OR A NEW ONEl

rT-HosE who own the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal seemingly are confronted by the alterna-
tive Of selling their property TO the Federal Govern
ment for s1S0O0O0 being subjected to the competi
lion Of and parallel canal, built, owned and oper
ated by the Federal Government What tho effect Of
such competition would be It is not difficult TO sur
mise when the fact is borne in mind that the canal
would be ude-leve waterway and all craft using IL
would be exempt from the payment Of tolls.
It Is unfortunate for those who the outstanding
stocks and bonds Of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal that the amount which It Is proposed the Fed
eral Government shall pay for it would not pay on It's
bonded Indebtedness, TO say nothing of the stock.
which amounts to 3761s shares par value $50, and
which is owned by many persons.
The report Of the Rivers and Harbors Committee,
the House Of Representatives this week. shows,
however, that the committee thinks that $780,
600 Is all the Federal Government should pay for
the existing canal and that tho company refuse to
at that price, the government should go ahead and
build canal OF It's In such event. If the lines
laid down by the United States engineers be followed
II will cross the Peninsula about mile south of the
existing canal the eastern terminal being short dis
tance south Of Delaware City and the western terminal
touching the edge Of Chesapeake City not far west
Of the Chesapeake and Delaware locks at that
place.
The committee makes it plain in it's report that is
not altogether that, because OF the engineering
difficulties that would be encountered in enarglng and
lowering the level Of the existing canal it would not
be better for the to ahead and build the
canal and permit the company operating the old
canal 10 work out its own salvation under the
conditions.
Whatever the outcome OF the negotiations between
the Federal Government and the company may be- the
developments in Washington indicate clearly that the
Rivers and Harbors Committee is taking the great in
land waterway seriously 1t recognizes the Importance
OF the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, canal

snow ORpNANCE ENFORcEp.

- LEANING the snow and the ice off sidewalk is
- not pleasant Job, but It is an infinitely better
one than that Of appearing in the Municipal Court and
being fined for violation Of the snow-removal ordi-
nance. Even those who penazed failing to do
their duty under that ordinance fail to admit
the wisdom underlying its enforcement by the Police
Department and Judge Churcbman.
Sidewalks encountered with and ice are a pub
c They preiudiciai public safety health
and comfort The hospital records and those OF ply
sicians' offices full Of entries which go to prove
that assertion. Il would be manifestly wrong for the
Police Department to fail to compel householders to
live up to the ordinance for it TO play favorites in
the matter Of Issuing Nor would it be right
for Judge Churchman 10 fail to take cognizance we'll
founded complaints regardless Of the personality Of
those affected by the proceedings
The ordinance is good one; it is the duty of the
Police Department arrest those who violate IT, and
it the function Of the Municipal Court impose PEN
altes for its violation Those things being indubitably
true, the answer to the whole thing is Clean your
sidewalks properly, and within the time prescribed by
law.

To The Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Home, that grandest Of all
institutions. is. if we would enjoy IL.
a thing within the reach of every one
of us. II may be in a palace or in
a hovel. Wherever IL is, its existence
depends entirely upon ourselves.
A house in which persons live, no
matter how luxuriously fitted or ar
ranged, is not necessarily a home
because shelter Is found there.
There are many houses wherein
husband and wife eXist-hang up
their hats and enjoy the restful COM
fort of an easy chair or couch, so to
speak-but home is not there; else
why should they prefer spending
their time separately away from it?
A writer, whose name l cannot
recall, beautifully says: where love
abides-there is home, and nowhere
else on earth. And when love is
not, there home is not. however
abundant the trappings of luxurious
housekeeping"
Home is the place first thought Of
after a days toll It is a place Of
refuge from the storms of life; a
harbor in which the ship of effort
and strife may drop its anchor in
safety after a days tempestuous
voyage. And a place It is, where
one is greeted with that welcome
which only a loving wife and loving
children can give; a welcome born
Of love.
Sweet is the smile of home the
mutual look,
Where hearts are of each other
sure;
sweet all the joys that crowd the
household nook.
The haunt of all affections pure"
-Koble
Imagine how lonely and desolate
that poor homeless wretch, roaming
the streets, must feel, who
knows naught from experience. Of his
own of the blessed contentment that
man enjoys, who has a home. Sad il
Is to think OF those who. though in
comfortable circumstances, are yet
poor, indeed because they are home
less.
Men and women who. though liv-
ing (eXisting) in palaces without
love. would give all of wealth and
position they possess for a taste Of
the happy cOntentment of that lowly
man who, living mayhap in a hut, IS
surrounded with the blessed assur-
ance of the best love of a true wife
and children, which makes his habi-
tation seem to him a palace

COLLEGE EXPENSES.

From the Newark Post.
As a matter of correction of a mis-
taken opinion held in some quarters. the
decision of the College Board of Trus-
tees TO pay the president a salary of
5000 will not in any way embarrass
the state treasury. No appropriation
by the State or National Government is
made for this, nor will the State be
asked for such.
The Alumni Association of the coll
legc last year started 10 raise fund
the income from which will be given to
the college for this specific purpose
Judging from reports made at the an
nual dinner Of the association on last
Saturday night. II can be safely pre-
dicted that the amount will be raised
and the income placed az the disposal Of
the Board of Trustees before its June
meeting
This statement is made in correcting
views held and talked of by some, not
too warm friends of the institution. A
gentleman In speaking of the salary last
week said, without thought or investiga-
tion. Another load on the taxpayers
guess Such statements. while with
out sembance OF foundation, when
spread broadcast, have tendency to
create an opposition from those unac-
quainted with the actual facts and con
ditions. While il is only fitting that the
State should make such provision for
its own institution, the alumni and
friends realizing the danger of burden to
the State Treasury have seen fit to
lend their individual help for the success
of the institution.
When the individual taxpayer realizes
that Delaware College is his and that as
such, he has an individual responsibility
toward its maintenance and growth
then the institution will never lack
funds for efficient management. The
all-too- oo-prevalent thought that Delaware
should be cared for by graduates and
the National Government is only another
proof that Delaware has not vet sensed
her full responsibility to her State in
stitutions. We have nothing but praise
TO say Of the generosity Of recent Leg
islatures. They have been most liberal.
but these appropriations have been made
by the untiring efforts of a few indi-
viduals against a too strong opposition
from some quarters of public opinion.
Down East, ia the Wcst--education
comes first Ia the thought OF man and
citzen-nevor last. Delaware stands to-
day twenty-siNth.
a sober study OF conditions would
correct this and Delaware would take
her rightful position.

Editorial Opinion
SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE
DELAWARE COLLEGE.

From the Dover Index.
The banquet at the Hotel dupont
Saturday night OF the Delaware Col
lege Alumni was Of unusual inter-
est. The attendance was large. and
among those IN attendance were a
number from Dover and vicinity.
Delaware College has always done
good work and turned out good and
useful citizens The last few wears
have. however, been the most sue
cessful in the colleges history. It is
fact that many Dala8 areans do
not appreciate the educational ad-
yantaSes offered by Delaware Col
lege. Our youths have been passing
It by, 70 large degree. IN favor OF
larger educational institutions, which
BY reason Of their prominence IN ath-
letics are given the preference. We
feel that two factors Will push Della
ware College ahead from this time
forth. One is the effort to raise q
permanent endowment fund, which
Will enable the institution to meas
ure up along all lines. The other Is
the affiliated college for women,
which Will mean Increased atten-
dance and also greater advertise
ment. Our worthy institution at
Newark can be depended upon to
take care Of the students after they
matriculate, the trouble has been get
ting them there. The endowment
fund and the affiliated college for
women VIII get our college in the
public eye TO a greater degree. The
college needs q publicity department.
Delaware College has the making Of
a great Institution Of learning. We
are expecting much from il. The al
umni are the backbone and inspira-
ton OF any college, and the enthusi-
asm OF Saturday evening last leads
us to believe that the alumni are
awake and on the move. The ad-
dresses were of unusual interest.
Chief Justice Pennewill's address was
a masterpiece. It was exceedingly
appropriate, showed a comprehens-
siye knowledge of his subject and OF
the college situation and was enthu-
siastically received. We feel that his
suggestions and appeals will be acted
upon and that our college will be
given a boost Let us advertise our
college and give it boost until
every Delawarean knows that we
have college which in the work It
undertakes is equal to the best in
the land.

CONSERVING BIRD LIFE.

IN ELAWAREANS should take pleasure in complying
~ with the request of John p lie Fevre. Chief
State Game Warden, that they feed the birds while

There is no man. woman child in the State who
is so poor that he or she spare few crusts

acts for the conservation OF bird life.

TRADE PROMOTION.

II. BALDWIN Chief of the Bureau OF Foreign
IA and Domestic Commerce. Of the United States
Department OF Commerce. will address the Wilmington
Chamber OF Commerce in the Hotel DUPONT on next
Tuesday "Trade Promotion" The personality Of
the visitor and the pertinency Of his theme should
serve to arouse keen interest among the members in
this noon-day luncheon event
The fact that Mr.. Baldwin is coming here to speak
Is an evidence OF the interest of the Federal
ment in the work of the Chamber OF Commerce in
promoting the industrial and commercial possibilities
of our city, State and Peninsula. He is expert on
trade promotion and will discuss the subject from
viewpoint OF an expert. Wilmington and the PENN
sua are not obtaining their fair share domestic
and foreign trade and they will obtain Il so
long as they wait for It to them. They must
go after it. or Others more enterprsing will get it.

IMpRovEMENrs SUGGESTED.

From the Newark Post.
Perhaps no one thing viii add so much
To the attraotivcness of Newark as inn
proved streets. A subject under discus
sion ior years, II has always seemed
impossible TO provide for this much
needed improvement.
The decision OF Council on Monday
night to make a permanent street Is
worthy os more than ordinary commen-
dation. Reports show that the improve
ment viii he made on a business basis.
The water main, the source OF constant
expense and worry, will be recaulled
before the roadhed is made.
We doubt il Council realizes Just how
well they arc bnlding for Newark lt
is no small job and at first glance one
would suppose the cost would be too
great a strain at this time. But we
agree heartily with action of Council. and
feel that permanent improvement
while expensive az first cost, will prove
20 be good business in the end.
inst while the streets and pavements
are torn mp, due 70 the installation of
the sewer. would il not be a good thing
for property owners TO finish pavements
in concrete. We realize the cost of
owning property in Newark just now is
an expensive proposition. But this lit
tie extra expense would make a perma-
nent sidewalk. lt would not need fur
ther attention for years and would add
much TO the appearance of our streets
and our property.
This is merely suggestive. It is too
much lust now to ask Council TO au-
thorize this improvement.
This suggestion is made particularly
10 property owners on Main street be-
tween the two dopots The pavements
here are considerably worn as it is and
anv patchwork following the sewer in
stallation will certainly not improve
them.
II may appear as a hardship which
we are willing TO share with you. Bnt
II Is sound business proposition. II
would be return compliment 60 Council
for their effort; II would be an asset TO
the town and selfshly, an advantage TO
the individual property owner.

DR.. George A. Harter is soon TO relin-
quish the presidency of Delaware Col
legc DIR. Harter has made splendid
record at Delaware and the old insti-
tuition, it can be safely said, has made
more strides under his administration
than any president since the founding
of the college. While giving up the
responsibilities of the head of the col
lege Dr. Harter, we are glad TO note,
is to continue as a member of the fac
ulty. His services are too valuable 10
lose. II is refreshing to note that the
college is 10 have a president who will
give all his time to administration work.
This is what the college has needed and
lac of necessary funds has been a
handicap to DIR. Harter for he could
not teach and look after the admins
trative end of the college at the same
timd. successfully. Old Delaware s.
beginning to have the brightest future
and Delawarcans should have no hesi-
fancy in giving the institution their
