Lest We Forget


The City Charter bill was de-
feated in the State Senate at Do
yer, last evening, under conditions
which melted the real friends of
the measure TO cast the votes that
withheld from 1t the necessary
two-thirds majority. The cause OF
its death was the fatal amend
ment that withdrew from the
measure the non-partisan feature
which had so warmly commended
II to the good feelings of large
majority OF the people OF Will
mington, and substituted a strict
ly partisan element that has pre-
vailed in our system OF municipal
elections since the city was first
incorporated, and has proved a
restrictive and debilitating infiu-
ence almost entirely repressive of
good administration and real
municipal progress ever since.
Those who favored the injection
OF this rankly partisan system
Into the proposed new charter,
Notwithstanding the plainly mani
fest desire OF our people for It's
absolute repudiation, voted for tho
Charter bill on the final roll call.
Those who favored the bill as 1t
had been prepared by the Citi-
zens' Committee, after weeks OF
consistent. patriotic labor and the
fairest consideration, voted for
it's defeat in the horribly emascu-
lated and distorted form In which
1t was finally presented.
There In no concealment of the
influences which thus operated to
defeat the best. most sincere and
consistent, most disinterested and
most public spirited movement for
municipal betterment upon which
the people Of Wilmington ever
entered. From the first the pur-
pose OF the movement was to pre-
pare charter measure that would
lift our municipal government
above the dlsorganizing, demoral-
izing and retroactive field OF
partisan politics. To this end, a
non-partisan organization was
formed to take charge OF the
amendment, and that band OF
sponsors very wisely entrusted
the framing OF the measure to a
bipartisan committee composed
OF an equal number of representa-
tives OF the two leading political
parties. So well did this BIZ
partisan agency perform Its im-
