AM KMOURAGIMG OUTLOOK.
AYOR Howell'» m«ssage to the people of Wliming
ton has made a profound impression. It Is being
praised by thoughtful men of all parties as an able and
patriotic utterance that bears vitally upon the future
of our city. It has overshadowed everything (hat has
been said by bis opponents in the race for the mayor
alty. If surface Indications count (or anything at all,
he should win on Saturday by a substantial plurality.
Dr. Willard Springer, the Democratic candidate, is
unable to arouse any public interest In fits candidacy.
It has fallen like a wet blanket on the city Dsmocracy.
He has been injured irreparably in political estimation
by the chr ge made by J Frank McCoy, a Democrat of
Democrats, that Dr. Springer said In his presence, that
he had promised Matthew D. Murphy, In event of elec
tion, not to appoint a member of the Board of Directors
of the Street and Sewer Department until he had con
sulted Murphy. In other words, that Murphy, who Is
a machine Democrat, Is to be the power behind the
chair if a Democratic mayor he elected.
Francis I. duPont, the Bull Moose Progressive can
didate for Mayor, has put his political barkers in an
untenable position by coming out openly for the Single
Tax and urging Its adoption in this city. Nor has the
fact that Mr. duPont has admitted publicly that if
elected he could not make a better Mayor than Mayor
Howell, has made, increased his popularity with
the Bull Moose Progressives. .
Therefore, taking all things into consideration. Mayor

VOTERS AMI THFIH
NTELLIGENFE.
P ARTISANS of thp Wilmington Terminal Company
and Its associates seek to convoy to the public at
large the Impression that the voters of the city of Wil
mington have not mi (detent sense to vote intelligently
upon the Delaware river waterfront question. That la
an insult to every Wilmington elector. It should be re
sented. •
When the Wilmington Terminal Company and Its
associates seek to obtain, for nothing, from 600 to 800
acre* of State land within the city of Wilmington, do
the partisans of the speculative interests think that the
voters here have not sense enough and patriotism
enough to vote to prevent it?
When the Wilmington Terminal Company and its
associates seek to obtain, for nothing, a Federal bulk
head and fill valued at from $260,000 to $300 000. do the
partisans of '.he speculative interests think that the
voters here are not qualified to pass upon the ques
tion whether those speculates shall get away with
that public property?
When the WUmingtou Terminal Company and its
associates seek to obtain, for not hing, the absolute own
ership and control of the city's waterfront on the Dela
ware from the mouth of the Christiana river north
ward almost to Edge Moor, do the partisans of the
speculative Interests think that the voters are not lit
to pass upon the question whether they shall have that
great waterfront or whether It shall be kept for the
benefit of the public?
We feel
sure that the elector, of Wilmington will
show by an overwhelming vote on Saturday, that they
have sufficient intelligence to issue their mandate that
the Delaware river waterfront be wrenched from the
clulchea of the Wilmington Terminal Company and its
associates by upsetting the Iniquitous Bulkhead Law
of 1901 and. If necessary, condemning a narrow strip
of marsh land that was obtained for speculative pur
poses by the Terminal Company.
The pajd und the unpaid partisans of the marsh-land
speculators arc busy just now urging the voters to
vote "No" on the two questions to be submitted. Every
vote so recorded will serve the purposes of the
Wilmington Terminal Company and Its associates.
Those who believe that Wilmington should be
port; who believe that it should have a waterfront;
who believe that much of the deop-sea and coastwise
commerce that now is passing ug by and being handled
In Philadelphia sfiould be handled here; who believe
that our city should have Its fair share o." the great
volume of commerce that will pass up and down the
Delaware river following the opening of the Panama
cana! and the great inland waterway, and who believe
that public property of great value should not bo
taken by speculative private Interests, and exploited
(or the enrichment of a mere handful of long-headed
men, will vote "Ye;." on both questions when they go
to the polls.
That Delaware river waterfront belongs to the people
and the people will show by their votes on Saturday
that they know how to protect it against those who are
trying to get away with It.

MAV1MJ WILSON'S FACE.
■pRESIDENT Wilson has made the charge that an "In
X sidious lobby is at work in Washington against the
Underwood Tariff bill.
Tht> Inference he sought to
convey was that improper influences were being used
upon Uie members of Congress.
Thus far the Investi
gation of his charges have (ailed to allow anything of
the sort.
He has said that, if necessary, he will lay
before Congress tho names of the lobbyists.
Ing from tho revelations thus far made by the Senate
Judg
committee, It will he necessary for him to do It to
save himself from being rated as an alarmist end a
sensationalist. Seemingly the President failed to dis
tinguish between lobbyists and men who have a legi
timate Interest in the provisions of the Underwood
bill and who also have a perfect right
against and work against any of its provisions which
menace their industries.
The testimony given by Senator Kenyon, of Tow
and others that the lobbyists are not conducting a cam
paign of corruption, hut endeavoring to influence the
Senators by flattery, is laughable. Seemingly it is a
far-fetched effort to save the face of President Wilson
and to give a semblance of truth to his charge that
an "Insidious'lobby" Is at work. We think it will he

1 Queen Mary's interest in court ar

resulted In many alterations, partlcu-,

that she did not require nearly th*
number of servants and attendants
that were formerly deemed necessary,
the pomp maintained being much more
simple than was previously the case.
The business-like spirit which per
vndeg the whole of the queen's house
held is rather striking. 'Everything
seems to proceed there as though by
clockwork, and while the.re is no stint
or penury, the queen permits no waste,
a strict economy being enforced In
every direction. Queen Mary exer
cites full control over all that takes
place In her name, and scarcely a let

liugton, the queen's private secretary,
deals with the vast correspondence
which she receives each day, and
fakes her instructions concerning the
replies which should be sent. The
queen devotes several hours a day to
her correspondence.

A remarkable man is Lord Jolcey,
the millionaire coal owner, who was
recently presented with a portrait of
himself at the Newcastle Chamber of
Commerce, to celebrate his fifty years
of commercial career. To begin with,
Lord Joicey is the largest coal land
owner In the world. There are per
sons in Newcastle who remember
when he started life on the quay in his
uncle's office, putting up the shutters
a ud going for letters.
Lord Joicey's father is said to have
been a workman in the pits in his
young days. It was not so long, how
ever, before the future peer's striking
energy and business capacity let to
success and fair fortune, and he was
making money rapidly when hlo
uncle's death placed him In possession
of enormous wealth
Some idea of the extent of Lord
Jolcey's resources may be gathered
when It is mentioned that gome time
ago his firm took the lease of Lord
Durham's pits for 1,100.000 pounds,
this great expenditure being paid out
of the profits of two years. A further
illustration of Lord Jolcey's vast inter
csts Is contained in a remark which
he made in a speech on the occasion
of the aforementioned presentation,
