COLONEL SPARKS AND HIS RETIREMENT.

i<1oLoNEL GEORGE w. SPARKS has many friends In
u Wilmington who regret that. following many years
1 service he has retired the Board OF Directors OF
She street and Sewer Department
During his ncumbency OF the olce many important
public improvements were carried out largely under his
general direction.
Unquestlonably much more work would have been
lone If more money had been placed at the disposal OF
he department
In fact much Of the public criticism OF Colonel
sparks and his associates has been due TO the fact that
they were expected to do expensive street and sewer
work for which money was available.
Unless the money needed be Forthcoming we feel
lure that Colonel Sparks successor appointed by Mayor
lawson viii moi be able TO accomplish more than the
Colonel has DONE He may be frank in dealing with
tho public and more actful his utterances but those
things viii not so far the matter Of building and
maintaining streets and sewers when the prime essential
Is good hard cash, and plenty OF it,
We feel sure the future viii show clearly that what
We have said with respect to the matter is absolutely
true
II we are to have good streets and good sewers we
must place at the disposal Of the department the money
needed to provide them
street cannot be repaired repaved and sewer
cannot be laid on blueprint basis Beneath the blue
print must be an adequate supply Of money.
Everybody knows that and yet, strange TO relate,
many men make no allowance whatever for the knowl-
edge when they discuss, publicly privately, the work
Of the Street and Sewer Department
There should have been a change Of financial policy
with respect 10 the department long before Colonel
Sparks retired there had BEEN street and sewer
dtons which have given rise 50 much criticism would
not exist today.
Only through change OF that financial policy can
Colonel Sparks successor hope 10 do more than the
Colonel has done and to escape the criticism that hereto
fore has been leyeled at the has held the once

~ IsCUsSION Of the British governments policy with
- respect to national shipyards before the House
OF Commons recently and It was made known that the
yards will not be retained by the State but VIII be
disposed Of to private interests on fair terms.
The other day Matthew Vol. assistant to Samuel
ompers Of the American Federation OF Labor, told the
Society Of Industrial Engineers that organized labor
looks upon government control Of railroads with dis
favor" Incidentally he remarked that he viewed with
alarm" the tendency the part Of the government to
merge the Judiciary and executive, excmplacd by in
functions
And he might well have referred to the merging OF the
legislative in the executive by White House decree when
the Democrats were in the majority in Congress.
But that thing Of the past for the Republicans are
in control.
While the British parliament and organized labor are
voons their opposition TO government control the pres
ent ogarchs Of the Administration proceed zealousy 10

over free tolls through the Panama Canal is asserted
by representative Nicholas j. SinnotL OF Oregon Mr..
Snnott has raised a and rather startling point in
the discussion Of the proposed League Of Nations. He
points out the amazing similarity between the language
OF the British-American treaty under which lost
our preference rights the of the Panama Canal
and the language OF the equitable treatment for COM
merce and draws inevitable conclusion that since
President Wilson surrendered American rights In use
OF the canal he would necessarily consent to similar
Interpretation Of the League of Nations Covenant.
The Brtsh-Amercan treaty concerning the Panama
Canal contains the following language: Tho canal shall

I'm THE DAYS NEWS"

Brig. Gen. Clarence P. Townsley,
who goes on the retired list of the
United States Army today on account
of age, leaves behind him a long
and brilliant record of efficient ser
vice. A native of New York State, he
was appointed to the United States
Military Academy from Iowa in 1877
and graduated with high honors
four years later. During nearly the
whole of his military career Gen:
Townsley has been identified with
the artillery branch of the service.
During the war with Spain he served
as chief of artillery and chief ordi-
nance officer of the Department of
Havana. For two years he was cor,
mandant of the Coast Artillery School
at Fort Monroe and later he was SUI
perintendent of the United States
Military Academy at West Point. In
the early part of 1917 Gen. Townsley
was sent on visit of inspection to
the European battle fronts.

The dusk had fallen, and night had come, before they rode in one by one to stare at Kitty sitting on the back steps. They did not know, but she had seen Curly from afar and by making 8 detour to the north had avoided them all.
 She was too tired to go walking, she explained in response to 12 sep arate invitations, and Coleraine smiled as she went up to bed shortly after the boys got in. Kitty-all un- consciously - was playing into his hands as skilfuIIy as though she read the cards he held.
 Late that evening a lanky figure made its way through the night to the big house where the old man sat , on the porch smoking a goodnight cigar.
