Postal savings poy only per cent

at first blush strange that anyone

Familiarity has something to do with

count is another attraction.

The Chamber of Commerce Program.
Every Evening wishes to congratulate
the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
because OF the forward-loolSing pro-
kram which that body has adopted This
paper believes that the interests of all
patixens alike will be served II this body
6f public spirited citizens succeeds In
outlined at the annual meeting and
election Of directors Thursday night.
More and better houses are certain
ny needed. Wilmington has passed ths
email town stage. 1t Is now metrop-
holls. NIAny Of tho activities which
bad their origin In the war will be con-
nnued. Many workers. who came from
Elsewhere. will remain IN Wilmington.

with us. aud VIII deaire TO remain as a
bart of our city.
: OF oourse new Industrial and ware
house buildings arc needed. Our bust
snese interests have expanded greatly,
tsnd our present facilities are not snf-
kdc1ant to meet the demand.
! For years Every Evening has urged
fhe adoption Of the paid fire depart
ment program This paper hopes that
fhe Chamber OF Commerce will oon-
t11nue its efforts to have Wilmington
protected by paid force.
The majority OF public spirited cit-
sens arc In favor of the new charter.
30 IL Is not surprising that this body
lpf business and professional men should
would result In Wilmington having a
more efficient city government.
1t is true that we do need new
convention hall. At the present time
we are embarrassed by the lack of an
adequate place in which large bodies
car congrcgate. Cities smaller TIN
'si'lTs have convention halls Whining
ton must have one. too.
Other recommendations Of the Cham
bors are sound. and the entire pro-
gram IS worthy Of being studied by ell
citizens who are vitally Interested not
only in their own private lines of work.
but also in the general welfare Of the
community.
OF course, the mere adoption Of a set
OF resolutions. or the drawing up of a
program OF contemplated action. by a
group Of men does not mean that the
desired improvements and changes
listed viii be made. Enthusiasm for
civic betternent is easily aroused, but
~ Il difficult to keep the interest up TO
lthe stage where action VIII follow. How
over. we feel that the gentlemen IN the
Chamber Of Commerce who are respon-
siole for this program viii continue In
their efforts until all the people are
awakened TO our various community
needs. Then appropriate action will
hollow.

An Unusual Distinction.

Representative Turner has discovered
<Aat the honor and dignity Of becoming
y father. entirely dwarfs the distinction
~ being legislator. even when stand
ing out 30 distinctly as being that
balance OF power" we SO often refer
TO in American politics When news of
the birth Of his fourth son became
known to MIR. Turner'S legislative con-
'fereae the other day. the House took
II upon itself to name the baby by res-
oiution, and TO send a complimentary
message TO the mother, expressing the
ihope for her speedy convalescence.
Father Turner is described as being
as proud as Punch over the legislative
attention heaped upon Elmer James.
Jr.," and the mother we are sure. ts
80 delighted over this bit OF pleasantly
that she may echo the fathers hope
that there will be four more little
Turner's. Her duty from now on viii
be TO see that this foster child Of the
House of Representatives be led along
the right political paths OF life, SO that
when he attains mans estate he will
find his way to the polls and deposit
ballot labelled Democratic" for he
will by then have learned that adher-
ence to the principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson has impaired TO Delaware's
history its great brilliancy.
Meantime, we congratulate both
father and mother and wish that there
may be as many other little Turner's
as the big Turner's may wish.

DR.. Wnliam =. Manning.

The election Of tho Rev. DR.. William
r.. Manning. leader OF the Christian
Unity movement, and rector Of Trinity
Church. to the Bishopric of New York
70 succeed the late Bishop Charles
Sumner Buroh. IL pleading to all per-
sons Episcopalians Or not, who are ac-
Quainted with the career az this bril-
liant man.
DIR. Manning was born IN Northamp-
ton. England, in Qs66, and came to this
country 10 years later. He graduated
from the University OF tho South,
Sewnnee. Tennessee and was ordained
In the priesthood In 1891. He served
al rector OF church In Rodlands,
California. the following year.
For two years he was professor Of
dogmatic theology at his alma mater.
and then was called to a parish In
served untn 1898, when he was called
to ChriS Church, Nashville. Tennessee.
1t was While serving in this Southern
parish that DIR. Manning first demon
strated his capacity as a lea der OF men
In the temporal affairs OF tho church
while being = spiritual guide to his
flock.
In the nvs years that DR.. Manning
was In Nashville he made a national
reputation because of the soundneas of
his Views on humanitarian subJects. and
because of the leadership which he dis
played In changing certain methods
which he felt his church should have
outgrown.
When he assumed tho rcctorship of
Trinity he carried out many of the re-
forms which had made him noted In tho
Southland He did much to banish the
pre,udios which had grown up against
Trinity. Enemies Of that parish at
various times had called IT rich
mans club" DIR. Manning instituted
many reforms Gradually he changed
tho feeling toward Trinity until today
IT is one OF the most popular churches
In New York City.
Mayor Hylan appointed DR.. Manning
to serve as momber of the Mayors
Committee of Welcome to the home
coming troops ia the latter part OF
1918. DIR. Manning refused to serve az
long as William Randolph Hearst was "A
msmber OF tho Committee. giving as
bis reasons that he objected TO tho
views which Mr.. Hearst had held re-
garding the war. and especially his at
tftude toward certain OF Americas
associates in the conflict
AS Bishop OF New York. DR.. Manning

Protestant Episcopal Diocese in the
United States. and In one sense. the
most important one. The duties which
he viii assume call for a man Of great
executive ability in a business way
DR.. Manning. so his friends say. pos
sesses this ability to high degree.
But also he must be a spiritual leader
of his flock. And here again the chosen
man qualities. No one who knows DR..
Manning intimately, as hundreds Of
men in all walks OF NE do. can doubt
but that he will fill his new post with
He ia leader OF men

out The best thing that can be said
Of him is that he is as popular amona
the non-church going folk as he is with
the devout ones who are present IN
their pews every Sunday. He is a
mans man--something difficult to find
In high places. all too frequently.
