HAIL TO THE kJNk.
Johnny Wilson is undisputed king
OF the middleweights.
He outroughcd the pretender to
the throne, one Mike O'Dowd, and
wiped away the blot that smeared
his royal escutcheon.
Mike is now reduced to the status
of mere subject.
In fact, he is the only subject in
Johnny's kingdom.
There amt any more middle
weights.
But a king Is a king. even though
his Kingdom be q two-by-four desert

THE WOMEN OF TODAY.

A great deal has been written Of late
about the modern girls attitude to
marriage. modern marriage in prac-
tiee. dancing, women and sports,
women and frocks, and the philos-
ophy Of women's nerves" but few
modern writer's have sought to inter-
pref women's restless spirit in the
light Of the age.
The average man let's ifis mind set
in mental concrete xheh about "a
years. Of age; after that ii is almost
impossible for him to receive new i'm
pressions. To certain extent this
accounts for the failures in life. Your
successful man, as rule. is one who
is never too old TO study new ideas
He may not adopt them-but he at
least viii comprehend them, and per-
haps respect them. It is in this spirit
that Arnold Bennett, England's noted
novelist. has approached the femi-
nine question of today.

going crazy because they are in

You may not agree with all of Ar

violently disagree with him on certain
points. But you may be very inter-
ested in his point of view, and in the

subject. We hope that you win gain

DEEPER IN BUSINESS.

Next TO normaley. no policy has
been dearer to President H1rding than
taking the, government out Of busi-
ness. But his message of yesterday
to Congress advises such a plunge
OF the government into business -
has never been known before for =
time OF peace.
There Is this. however, TO be said
for the Presidents plan of conoiidat-
ing In the War Finance Corpora
tion nancial aid to agriculture and the
stock-raising industry as we'll as the
funding and settlement OF railroad
obligations arising out Of war opera
tions. II is putting the government In
to business to n less extent and In a
manner less Objectionable than is In
volved In the various measures to
which fiounderIng and leaderiess
Congressional majority Is giving loose
rein.
The railroad financing stands on
another footing. These are obligations
which are those of contract. The rail-
roads are admittedly owing the govern
ment some $685. 600 for expendi-
lures during war operation on their
capital account or fop~ perma nent inn
provementa. But the government IL
owing the railroads a still larger sum
which they are trying to initiate to
such absurd limits as 10 include a
vast deficit in labor efficiency vaguely
charged UP TO government operation
as compared with what IL might have
been under private operation.
The President is not clear at this
point. But what he must be driving at
is. First, that the War Finance Cor
poration shall take over bonds and
notes of the railroads 70 the amount
Of their debt to the government and
market the same as it can: and Sec
ond. that the War Finance Corpora
ton shall then turn over $500. .0oo, 900
of public. funds in cash to the rail-
roads as n payment on account OF
what the government is owing them.
Otherwise the roads would gain moth
ing out of the operation in terms OF
money, which is what they are after.

VICTORY FOR HARBoR PROJECT.

City Council last night by unahi-
4 NOUS vote passed. over Mayor Har-
yey's veto. the ordinance providing
for a 100000 bond issue for the har-
Dor project.
The mayor. I'm verbose message.
stated that he believed that the pas
sage of all pending bond issues would
bring wilmington within s1.o0o.0oo of
the normal limit Of it's borrowing ca
pacity.
However, Mayor Harvey is no
municipal expert. nor has he ever
been aajudged critic Of city affairs.
This is his first term in any political
Office. We would rather take the
views uf Councilman James McManus,
chairman OF the Finance Committee
Of city Council. who has proved in the
past in handling the city's business
matters that he Possesses a cool busi-
ness judgment. and is unswayed by
partisan prejudice when the city's r.
nances are being considered. Mr.. Nc
Msnus said:
n do not agree with all the figures
presented by His Honor. the Mayor.
/ believe that at the end Of the fiscal
year we will find s2.5oo.oeo between
tire bonded Indebtedness OF the city
and the limit OF our borrowing ca
pacity.e
. The citizens of Wilmington should
Z congratulate City Council upon hav-
! ing the backbone which resulted in
. that body authorizing this bond issue
Notwithstanding the tremendous
pressure which was exerted upon it by
certain forces to defeat the harbor
project. Especially are the Republi-
can members to be congratulated upon
their action. From a purely party
point OF view. II would have been to
their advantage to have kept in the
lood graces of the mayor. and to
lave followed his leadership. 1t is
rare indeed that Council deserts its
mayor so early in his administration.
But In this case those gentlemen
placed the welfare Of the city and its
future before their personal ;ambi-
/ tions. Likewise they demonstrated
that they had faith in one of their
own number who had made an in
tensive study OF this matter. The
mayors veto meant little 10 them.
We believe that the people of Will
nington win heartily approve Of the
action of City Council in this matter.

THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION
CHECK STAMP TAX TOO HONEST.

When 4 leader or any member of
Congress says he opposes a stamp tax
on bank checks for the sake Of the
public he Aoes not mean what he says.
The legislator that talks that sort Of
hunbug does not care "A tinkar's dam
about the desire, the convenience or
the interest OF the public. What he Is
thinking about Is making a political
record for himself, whether 1t is an
honest record or a sham record. What
he meahs Is that he wants to fool the
public Az to who pays the taxes and
how much.
IT is because every time a man
writes check he knows he Ia pay
ing tax that the Congress objector
does not want that stamp tax adopted.
II Is because every time man
sticks a stamp on "a check 1t reminds
him that the tax he then pays is go-
ing into spendings appropriated by
Congress that the legislative scrupie
against 1t Is so conscience biting
