CIVIC PRIDE sHOULD ASSERT ITSELF.

=, VERY citizen OF Wilmington who has within his
T. breast a spark of civic pride should support,
lively and aggressively the Delaware Historical So
oiety in its effort to save our old City Hall from the
hands Of the house-wrecker; to restore 1t TO what it
was before It was mutilated by so-oaed modern i'm
provements: to make of it municipal museum in
which the choicest relies city county and State
may be housed, and to have 1t home for
the society that is manfestng such keen and prac-
tcal interest in IFS preservation.
The society needs home for itself and a depository
for its valuable possessions of historical nature.
There is available building in city which, be-
cause of the history centerng in and surrounding IT,

Editorial Opinion
4 STRIKING CONTRAST.

From the Iron Trade Review.
The anarchistic attitude so fire.
quenuy taken by Union labor and the
reasonable position generally charac-
teristic of employers were stridngly
illustrated a few days ago in connec-
tion with the legal battle which has
been inaugurated to determine the
constituaonality OF the so-called
Adamson eight-hour law. When a
judge of a New York district court
signed an order directing the defend
ants the United States attorneys, to
show cause why they ought not be
enjoined from enforcing the law. Sam
uel Gompers. president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, was quoted
as saying
The eight-hour law will go into
effect injunction or no injunction"
On the same day that Mr. Comp
ers made the above defiant statement.
Elisha Lee, chairman of the commit
tee which represented the railroads
i'm the cinference with the brother
hoods, issued a statement in which he
calmly and fairly explained the posi-
tion Of the railroads. He pointed out
that eminent authorities held that the
law IS unconstitutional. and the rail
roads felt it their duty to determine
the question. lie said that the rail
roads have no desire to delay action
or resort to technicalities. but are
anxious TO have a speedy decision
and would. OF course. follow the in
structions OF the court
In such statements as the above
one favoring defiance Of the courts
and the other prompt obedience tc
court mandates. there can be no doub
as 10 who will ultimately have tn,
sympathy of the vast majority Of IN,
people Of the country.

THE PLIGHT OF THE RAKHRs.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Consumers cannot be blamed for
growing at the high cost Of living.
and for demanding an embargo on the
cNnort OF fOOdstutfs as a means Of
relieving the intolerable conditions
now existing. But they are not the
only sufferers In many lines the
small manufacturers find themselves
in an embarrassing position be-
cause they are afraid to advance
the cost of their commodities at a
ratio IN proportion to the advance
IN the cost OF material. Thus We find
the president of a bread bakers as
sociation complaining that the cost
OF the articles which go into their
business has advanced 100 per cent
since the beginning of the war. while
thoir receipts from the finished pro-
duct have only gone mp % per cent.
He gives figures to prove his con-
tention. lie says that flour has gone
IN from S425 a barrel to S10.50. and
may even reach sl5 by next spring.
Lard has gone from Z cents in 1914
/ to 10 10 cents a pound today. Su-
/ gar went from B 1-2 cents To Z IL
J cents pound. Even caraway seed
/ mmped from cents 10 40 cents
Wrapping paper climbed 200 pei
cent while labor and all overhead
expenses increased 30 per Ccnt.

The congregation of st. Monica s
Catholic church met at the rectory on
Tuesday evening, where a surprise
had been planned for the new priest,
Father Charles, and for his brother,
Edward st. Anama of Toronto, Can
ada. The new pastor is a most de-
lightful man to meet and his congre-
cation feel justly proud of him. His
brother has recently redecorated the
interior of both the church and rec
tory, and gave his time and talent
free of charge, SO the gathering Tues
day evening was of a double nature,
both as a welcome and an apprecia-
ton. Jerry Sullivan in behalf of the
congregation, presented Mr.. St. Ana
ma with a beautiful silk umbrella.
There were many present. The Cath
olics will give a larger public recep-
tion in the near future, so that many
more will have the opportunity of
meeting Father Charles.

.PALATKA TOURISTS
TO ORGANIZE A CLUB
For Social and Intellectual
Intercourse, etc.

S. A. Parshley is that rather stout
looking gentleman with mustache and
chin gotee, whom you have seen on
the streets during the past winter
and whom many of US at first sight
have taken for Ex-U. S. Senator SAM
uel Pasco of Monticello. Mr.. Parsh-
ley isn't guilty Of any thing worse
since coming here than taking a lik-
ing to the town and mingling all
through his waking hours with the
people. When he goes back to his
home town Of Carthage, Missouri, we
hope he's going to carry some pleas
ant recollections of Palatka-some
that will do us good.
We only speak Of him because he
is one of the instigators of a pro-
posed organization of a Tourists
Club for this city.
With him is c. D. Brown of Syra-
cuse, N. Y, who has been coming to
Palatka winters for number of years
and still likes US, possibly as well as
Palatkan's like him.
These gentlemen have called
meeting of all tourists and visitors
to meet at the board of trade room
tomorrow saturday. afternoon to or
ganize. They want Palatka citizens
who are not too busy making money
to come in and help in the organi-
zation with words of encouragement,
both ladies and gentlemen. The
meeting will be at O'clock
1t is hoped at this meeting to form
4 permanent organization and elect
officers for the season. A register
IS to be provided so that all visitors
may register by states.
Good idea; and it's a wonder it
hadn't been thought of long ago.
Tourists have always aroused the
sympathy of The News. Some Of
'em are getting along in years and
don't care for playing pool and fish
ing and shooting and boating. They
have time on their hands and some-
times it becomes heavy. This club
will Tighten the load and give them
q place to swap yarns concerning the
wonders of their respective localities.
This winter has been a little better
en- tourists than ordinary. We have
"0ticcd that many of them Join DR..

him superintend the construction of
