OF Market street in accordance with the best standards
Of modern times. He advances for such work
that carry conviction all unselhsh minds that arc
open to conviction and for the advancement Of which
he is deserving Of much credit;
Wilmington is a city of 100000 inhabitants.
Il is striving to establish for itself reputation for
being abreast of the times in an respects.
Market street is its chief thoroughiare.
It is the commercial and professional heart OF the
municipality
It's throb is felt in every artery trade and social
intercourse in city and throughout the wide eX-
panse of rural territory that is tributary TO it,
We do not think anyone will deny that such thor
oughfare should be placed and maintained in the best
condition possible with respect to its paving.
Nor do we think that anyone who is familiar with the
present condition of the roadbed will contend for an
instant that it is what it ought to be or that as i
exists today it IS a good advertisement for our city.
The other merchants I'm Market street should co

marine cannot be used against mer-
chantment, as the last few weeks
have shown, without an inevitable
violation of many sacred principles
of justice and humanity.
80. II (the Government of the
United States) takes it for granted
that, at least within the practical
possibilities of every such case, the
commanders even Of submarines were
expected to do nothing that would
involve the lives of -combatants
or the safety of neutral ships, even
at the cost of failing IN their OBJ
iect of capture or destruction"
In this last paragraph the Presi-
dent did not say neutral non-com-
batants." The unqualified phrase
"non-combatants" might be taken to
cover even the exclusively British
non-combatants on a British steamer
or fishing trawler.
In the last note there is distinctly
less intimation that we expect to hold
Germany to strict accountability for
violation of the laws of warfare at
sea and of the laws of humanity
which do not involve Americans.
Most of the discussion is pinned down
TO the Lusitania case, in which so
many American lives we're sacrificed
to German ruthlessness.
1t is true that in the summary at

Owing to the splendid victories won
by the Democrats in Kent county at
the last election, we believe It is only
far and just that the candidate should
hail from this county. Tnere IS plenty
of good gubernatorial timber in the
county, and with a good strong Kent
man to lead in the fight, Democracy
would once more gain her lost con-
troll of the State.
The name of State Senator Charles
NJ Wharton has been mentioned IN
connection with this Office. A man OF
his calibre, and there are many others
like him in the county, could lead
united Democracy, free from the petty
jealousies and factional quarrels that
] handicap the party in New Castle
county, to a certain victory.
We should by all means have
/ Kent county man as candidate for
governor, but at any rate, let rs have
a man behind whom the three count
les can join in hearty accord and.
with Woodrow Wilson at the head OF
the national ticket, the chances OF
Democratic success will be Of the
best.
