wILMINGToN's MUNICIPAL FIGHT

II Republican affairs in Wilmington
are a criterion, then that party is haV
ing sweet scented time in fixing its
a.-airs IN Delaware. The hsht for the
mayoralty nomination IS on III that
Republican-rid city. There the party
is between the devil and the deep sed
The party leaders opposed and de
fcated the city charter IN the recent
Legislature The people generally of
that city wanted the new charter which
had been prepared and presented 10 the
Legislature by a bipartisan committee
for the purpose OF preparing n new and
up-to-date charter The Democrats IL
the House voted solidly for the lew
charter and The Republican members
solidly against its passage.
In the Municipal tight now raging III
Wilmington. this act of the Democratic
members put the Democratic party of
that city in line with the better element
of voters without destruction Of party.
The municipal fight is to be made along
city charter lines and good government
generally The Republicans are in a
hole. II they come ont squarely for a
new charter. they must be convicted of
the utmost insincerity. II they come
/. out in the open against new charter.
they are defeated To begin with. La
either dilema, defeat stlres them in the
face And besides the government of
the city under Republican rule for the
past many years has been rotten and
criminally expensive and inefficient.
The Republicans of that city have
not single issue on which they en-
go before the people and ask for their
support They are damned by their
own works and stand indicted by their
own party workers
The Democrats Of Wilmington stand
a good show of success. and they seem
TO be worthy of it, At this writing they
seem prepared to nominate most ex-
celent man for mayor, Thomas T. Bay
ard, who has been a consistent advocate
Of new city charter. And besides he
passes ali the requirements that so Il
make good chief executive Of the
| city, If the Democrats succeed in
nominating a whole city ticket Of the
| calibre Of Bayard. success is assured
! to them To begin with.
And that WILMINGTON needs change
| from it's rotten government OF Republi-
| can political henchmen needs only tc
| be said. The people OF that city have
| paid the price and what is worse they
| seemed to be content to be robbed.
But at the present time there seemt
to be an uprising against the corrupt

| many years.
The next city election will show

WHY DO THEY

There seems 70 b. genera. agree
ment among all the more important
personages-those like Senator Elkins.
for instance who discuss the coal aues-
ton to treat il as If Il concerned only
hituminous coal and its users That IS.
indeed, from several points Of view. the
most important part Of the coal ques-
ton but 1t isn't the whole Of il. 4
good many people-millions and millions
of them-gu through life without buy

sg.ious interest in its price. Yet they

That unanimity OF demand cannot be
due to agreement; for agreement would
be conspiracy and illegal. and X is un-
thinkable that retail coal dealers should
do anything Illegal. They are not like
plumbers and masons or the purveyors
Of building materials, else would they
too have been dragged squirminc and

of investigating committees and tht

doing this they deserve congratulations

JUST FOLKS
THE ROBIN.
Ry Edgar 4. Guest

iHf ttntN
oh Yesterday i robin came hopping
round my place
And was At the window with n Ead
and gloomy face
And ] was feeling pcevIsh and a thlnk
ing thoughts that coruc
When a fellow dt~contontcd and tho
world Is looking glum
So I watched old Mi. Robin as h" snag
ged worm or two
And skipped around the garden IN tho
way that robins do
His eye was bright and shiny and his
head was in the air.
And if his face was wide enough a smile
had lingeded there
The breeze was blowing chilly and tho
ground seemed mighty bleak,
But the robin wasn't growing that the
hard spots hurt his beak.
And the robin wasn't kicking that his
little feet were cold
He was happy TO be living as his bits
OF music told
He was plump and he was chipper. and
thought / while watching him
Don't YOU ever get the notion that this
fight for life is grim?
Do you ever tell your neighbors while
you're sitting in a tree.
That food is not as plentiful as once il
used To be?
Oh little feathercd songster. when the
days are cold and long
Do you ever waste a minute wailing
everything is wrong?
As I watched old MIR. Robin al the
business of his day,
With nobody near to help him or tc
pass the food his way,
To myself / think l muttered what 5
the matter now with me?
II a robin can be happy, why should
so dismal be?
All my troubles are as nothing 10 the
life he leads out there.
Yet this minute he is singing and Tn
knee deep in despair!
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1921-05-10

the press which leads one to believe
that his mind Is in the same nebulous
state regarding the charter as Mr.
Harding's is toward world peace. Mr.
Harvey has refused To state what kind
of n charter he is for--whether the one
which the Bi-Partisan Citizens Com
mittee proposed. or that one which the
Republicans Matched up at the last
moment In the Legislature. For the
time being Mr. Harvey holds himself
practically incommunicado, so tho pre-
sumption is that he is awaiting further
word from his political betters before
he expresses himself too freely.
IL can be seen therefore that vote
for Thomas Il. Bayard is vote for
