AND NOW FOR BUILDING OPERATIONS.

I INFORMATION has reached us that in a few days
ground will be broken for the first home to be
erected Holloway Terrace II will mark the begin
ming Of building operations that will produce
suburb for city and contribute materially to its
industrial and commercial prosperity
Only few weeks ago what is Holloway Ter
race was a piece Of farm land sihe improvement Of
which seemed very remote. In conjunction with the
International Syndicate Corporation, THE EVENING
JOURNAL took hold OF IT, divided it into between 11OO
and 1900 building lots and offered them for sale the
price 10 be $40. including a one-year subscription to
THE EVENING JOURNAL
II was anticipated that Il would take sixty days to
dispose Of the lots Their desirable location and high
and-dry nature were such however that there was
rush for them The result that within twelve days
all tho lots had been sold and waiting list
Of 200 persons to take advantage of lapses
which might occur in the purchase contracts.
This phenomenal piece Of building lot selling now
Is to he followed by active building That is as It
should be- It was our aim at the outset to create at
Holloway Terrace colony Of home owners We
should be disappointed indeed, II building operations
we're to fail TO follow selling operations bearing upon
that tract OF land.
II is high and dry. II commands view Of the Della
ware river II is only few minutes walk from the
trolley n is within a fve-cent fare Of Front and
Market streets, Wilmington. There is no valid reason
why IL should not be built up and made the abiding
place Of hundreds Of men, women and children who
will find pleasure living on land they call their
own
The future Of Holloway Terrace will be what the
lot make II. We trust they will build
wisely and we'll and derive from their investmem all
the happiness it is capable Of contributing.

SMALL CONTRIBUTIONS HIGHLY DESIRED.

Q vERAL weeks ago we called editorial attention TO
- the plan to raise S5Oooo for the endowment and
preservation Of Old Swedes Church.
In that connection We said authoratiyely that
those in charge Of tho fund rather would have made
up OF many small contributions than of a few large
ones.
We added that It was the desire to spread out the
interest the project such extent that it would
embrace all sections Of state and financial
support thorefrom In other words. TO make it
state matter rather than a local matter.
That message 10 the public has been productive Of
good II has not however. brought tho response
from small subscribers that is desired Neither has
tho response embraced all sections Of the State
We requested by those who have charge OF the
endowment TO make that fact public and to the
appeal for small contributions and a Statewide dis
rihution sustaining public interest the historic
edfce which was built by the Swedish settlers and
has passed through every stage of colonial, pro-
pretary and State history.
Because OF its age and historic associations. Old
Swedes should appeal powerfully to all Delawareans
and no one should oegrudge TO it small amount OF
money to endow it and ensure its continuance as an
historic monument and place OF worship.
The fact We desire 10 impress upon the public mind
is that any contribution from 81 upward will be thank
fully received by the endowment managers and that
they rather have $4,000 contributions OF 81 each
than two contributions $4,000 each In short they
desire the contribution list to symbolic widespread
interest in the old church and its future
The Rev. Frederick NJ Kirkus rector Of Trinity
Church this city, who is the leading spirit in the
endowment movement will be well pleased to re-
ceve such contributions from any quarter and to give
any information that may be desired relative to the
history and activities OF the old church. He has the
project very much at heart and already has received
much announcement. His chief complaint seems to
be not the lack Of contributions much as the lack
of small ones which are so much desired
II is a pleasure TO TO convey the message TO the
public. It is hope that such conveyance will be
productive OF desired results

CaYanzd Insults the United States
and Shields Villa
From The washington POST

An agent Of Carranza is on his way
TO Washington bearing a note which
demands that the United States shall
Immediately withdraw it's troops from
Mexican soil. The note is said TO be
premptory in tone. An effort is being
made in advance to allay the resent
ment OF Americans by suggesting that
Carranza is under heavy pressure and
is using severe and provocative Ian
guage IN order 10 reassure the anti
American element in Mexico. Ameri-
cans arc 10 be asked, in other words,
10 swallow the insult rather than en-
danger Carranzas position as head Of
the phantom government" of Mexico.
In the meantime. detachments Of
American troops have been with
drawn from Mexico and more are to
be ordered back. The general retire
ment Of General Pershing's forces
may be on foot. The conditions sur
rounding Pershing's command are
kept under strict censorship. Il is
known, however. hat the pursuit Of
villa and his bandits has been sus-
pended. if not abandoned.
Where is the limit of American pa
tence in dealing with the venomous
and insolent advonturer who poses as
head of the Mexican government? How
much further will the United States
go in the abandonment OF its duty TO
the people of the border and in the
vindication NJ its own dignity?
The United States has suffered in
jury from Carranza, and is now to
have insult heaped upon IT, Carranza
has repeatedly betrayed the conf
dence of this country 1t was hls
duty as an honorable man. to aid the
United States in the pursuit of villa.
He should have granted the use of the
railroads and his troops should have
taken up the pursuit in the remoter
parts of Chihuahua, Sonora and Du-
range But he Immediately adopted
an attitude Of obstruction and opposi-
tiOn. His acts were all to the ad.

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

the laudation OF the affairs Of Kent
county by the various Democratic pa
pers in Dover and Wilmington. as a
means of making political capital for
their party, is misleading as 10 facts.
The Democratic party in Kent county
has been borrowing money to pay its
bills for the last four years and more.
and that amounts in measure for the
tidy sum" in bank as shown by the
last statement Then again the collec-
tion of taxes is matter which covers
much that the Democratic party does
not desire to have opened TO the pub
lie consideration. The laws governing
the collection of taxes in Kent county
require that no collector can be re-
appointed as collector of taxes, unless
he shall have paid over to the county
treasurer all the taxes levied and
placed in his hands for collection for
the proceeding year; and. to get re-
appointment. the collectors arranged
to borrow the money to cover any bal
ance they may owe upon their dupli-
Gates, and which is actually then out
standing in the shape Of uncollected
taxes, and so pay that into the county
treasury This enables them to take
up their bond-for the previous year
and qualities them for re-appointment
as collectors for the present year.
When the duplicate is plaCed in their
hands for collection, the temporary
loans are repaid and the endless
chain goes on, and the friends of the
faction in control hold the Jobs and
gets credit for excellent service of the
public BE that as it may. the county
gets the money which is all right,
but there will be an ending at some
time Of this. and then practices will
come to the front in the shape of trou-
BILE for some one with confidence and
desire to assist friend. AS a mat
ter Of fact, the method of assessment
in Kent county is as bad as was the
system In Sussex that was superseded
by the present excellent assessment
laws. and the method of collecting
the taxes is costing in net cash on the
average. about $1,000 each year in
Kent county. This is all wrong, and
the taxes can be and would be col
lected in Kent county by a Receiver Of
Taxes for less than half the money
now paid out to the ten tax collectors.
We can give credit to the tax collec-
tors OF Kent county for getting and
paying over the taxes to the county
treasurer they have to do it accord
ing to law or not get the Job; which

vantage Of villa and TO the disadvan-
tage of the United States. II Car
rama had been a partner Of villa in
the Columbus massacre. he could not
have been more diligent in blocking
the path Of the avengers. To all in
tents and purposes Carranza is the
protector of villa, and therefore the
enemy of the United States. Yet he
iustifies this enmity by suggesting
that he must make a show of opposi-
ton to this country in order to re-
tain his own position.
The time for showing favors to
Carranza has long since passed. His
ingratitude and implacable hostility
should have forfeited consideration
long ago. It is not the duty Of the
United States to keep Carranza at the
head of affairs. If he can remain in
command only through repeated acts
OF treachery and hostility to the
United States he should be permitted
to fall. His influence is all against
neighbofly peace and good will. An
other leader. representing the true
feeling of Mexicans. might be able TO
eliminate villa and thus expedite the
withdrawal Of American troops and
the restoration Of good feeling. No
leader could be more of a marplot in
Mexican affairs than Carranza has
been. Any change would be for the
better.
The duty that confronted the United
States when its citizens we're slain at
Columbus is the duty that confronts 1t
now. Carranza' s hostility and the ad-
ministration's inexplicable Difference
to him cannot change the duty Of this
government That duty is the elimina-
ton of Francisco villa and his ban
dts While this duty remains unper-
formed. while the blood of the vic
tins at Columbus cries in vain for
retribution. the people of the United
States cannot be expected to approve
any dealings which permit Carranza
to thwart the United States and shield
villa.

AUTOMOBnEs AND GRADE CROSSINGS

NA(E have had, in this vicinity within the last two
w years several distressing auto accidents at rail-
road grade crossings The most recent one was near
New Castle. In this connection it is timely for us TO
call attention TO the fact that many railroad COM
panies are conducting campaigns against the reckless
driving Of automobiles such grade crossings The
Long Island Railorad Company which is a subsidiary
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has expressed
the hope that il will get through the Summer of 1916
without serious automobile accident at a grade
crossing. AS first step 1t has issued a poster
printed in red, and black which reads as fol-
lows:
WE KNOW YOU WANT TO HELP U.s.
We tried hard last year to go through the SUM
mer without fatal automobile accident al a grade
crossing.
We put up huge signs and we advertised extern
sively in the warning people against rec-
less driving
AS result no one was killed, but there were sew
cral serious accidents and many hairbreadth es-
capes.
We are redoubng our efforts this year We hone
to go through the Summer without a single serious
accident
I'VE cannot do it without your hep.
Please Stop before you cross the Long Island Rail-
road
Wouldn't it he well. in the absence of posters
here for Delaware automobilists extend the same
