If you can't vote you can holler for the Democratic candidate. The Taft smile will be a thing some what of the past after next Tuesday. Every Democrat should make a. point of going to the polls yon next Tuesday. ' J - Don't say next Tuesday ' evening that you had been too busy to go to the polls. Marion Butler will "find out after a while in what estimation he is held by the people of his own State. How flat some folks will feel on the day after the election- when they are called on to pay their election bets. This State is not at all in doubt, but every Democrat should vote in order to make the party's majority as great as possible. As Captain Haine killed Annis in cold blood, of course, there is nothing for him to do but to plead temporary Insanity. If you have not registered you have no one .but yourself to blame and you should not put it on the Democratic party. You had plenty of warning. The public is impatient to know what Senator Foraker will have to say about some of the leading Republicans ias soon as the election is over. Hearst's chief desire seems to be to defeat the Democratic party in the State of New York. That is apparent ly the . height of his ambition. We wonder iL Hisgen and the half dozen other candidates for President really think they are running in earn est. It will soon be time for Foraker to have his inning. Senator He has kept well to his promise to keep his mouth shut until after the election. We would like to see the Democrats win in this State with a whoop. There fore every, voter, in the party must be sure to gofto the polls on election day and plunk the full ticket- That is a good idea our Govern ment buying the Sphinx and .setting it up in Washington if Roosevelt is to he, candidate for President in' 1912 or 1916. ' : v K ; We want to see the Democratic, ma jority in this State bigger than . that which Glenn got four" years ago. To make it so all the Democrats must go to the polls and do their duty on -election day; v ' ';;"; That is -pretty tough on Marion But ler, that the Republicans of.

"The MayoH stated the object of the meeting to be that of considering a sale of the bonds in view of the disapproval of the for mer action of the Aldermen by the Bdard of Audit and Finance. He ad verted, however, to the presence of Mr. Worth and with the Board's per mission, Mr. Worth read his proposi tion, which was entirely conciliatory in its nature and bearing every stamp qfj the1 utmost good faith. It was plain to be . seen, however, that the Bjard was not ready for action upon the subject and the proposition was filed for future reefrence. t - Taking up the bond r issue matter, Chairman Bolles, of the Finance Com mittee, stated that after consultation the committee would prefer that the members of. the Board take up the question individually and express their opinions rather than for the question to be taken up on any recom mendation from them. .Mr. Wood's idea was to advertise the entire issue of $500,000 rather than ohly the immediate - needs. He could not see - how the Commission who would have the handling of the money couia go ahead with any definite scheme as to the acquiring of water and sewerage plants ' unless they khew the means were at hand. He fisfvored advertising both 4 1-2 and 5 per cent, bonds and believed that af ter the election the securities would command a good price on either basis. Mr. French concurred in the opin ion of Mr. Wood, giving his reasons therefor and stating that such had been his position all along. He thought the whole issue could be sold with delivery of say $200,000 at once and the remainder in amounts as needed by the Commission. He also favored offering a part of the" issue to local investors in denominations as might be required. He spoke at length1 to show why this would inspire a greater public spirit and thought it would ma terially strengthen the position of the bonds in the open market. I Being asked his opinion, Mr. Worth stated that he favored offering some qMhe securities to local Investors and cited the fact that there is now on deposit in the savings banks of the city about three million dollars that might well be invested in these bonds. j Mr. Karr concurred in Mr. Wood's suggestion and favored the idea of giving, local investors a chance if they desired the securities, p f Mr. Rathjen favored advertising the whole issue, if necessary, and said he id not object to -placing a reasonable amount of them on sale to local peo- plC - ' . :'. ;.; i jMr. O'Brien - agreed that the whole issue should be advertised in order to carry s both -projects through at once, but he was still of the opinion that the Drevious sales were good and that the Beard had done no wrong, " It was merely a matter; of legal technicality.

AGENT NOW IN WASHINGTON Difficulty of Acquiring Property NeedV - eminent H&Itafe d - - - - . w iicaun to Proceedings. It was learned yesterday that since the return of Mr. G. D. Ellsworth, the agent ot the United States Treasury Department, "toWashington, that there is a strong poibilltyat the goveriiment wiii have to abandon its purpose announcedra few days ago, of buying the entire west end of the block on Water" street, between Mar ket and Priricess; as a. site for the new Custom House to be erected in this city. The trouble, it is statedr is that the government finds it difficult to seoulm. the property at either: corner of the street at a price that is regarded as equitable. While tiie government, of course, has recourse to condemnation, proceedings to acquire the property, it is stated by one high in authority that condemnation proceedings are never resorted to howeverr by the government until' all other means have been exhausted In securing oth er eligible sites. The fact that the failure -of the government to acquire the property on Water street means virtually tho , abandonment of the cher ished project pf Mr. Keith and others to have in connection with the magni- elegantly fitted up and used as a pub lic park, makes this matter -one of vital concern to the public and one which the public can ill afford to see pass without notice. . The plans of the government in the event it is able to acquire this property on the wharf have "been announced and it is to be hoped that the citizens of Wilmington use every effort, to prevent a Change of the plans. Collector Keith; himself a ; member of the -Chamber of ComnierCe rc wua .me .-epvernm&m. uu securing an eligible site, is strongly committed to the 'I'd ea of the wharf site immediately in front of the "Revenue Cutter wharf and with its possibilities for grounds, and he is much disappointed at the turn affairs have now taken. Under the caption "A Great Opportunity For the City in the Balance," he has writ ten the following for the Star, which , will be read with interest: - "After working continuously for years for a new Custom building that would fill a long felt want as well as a great advantage for the city besides making it possible for the city to have a park by which the popr as well as all others could have the benefit of a park with its fine breeze onithe' river .front with 'often fine music from the band of the Seminole that moors in iront oi wnere ine uommittee recom mended the new Custom House to be placed, i.e., to purchase all of the land from adjoining the present govern ment property on Princess street to Market street, running back as far as Wright's Alley and making a maca damized street of Wrights Alley from Princess to Market streets. Then put the building in the center and have a public park on both sides of the build ing for the benefit of the poor moth ers and children who are not able to spend their evenings at the Beach. This is the place and it was so very striking to the Site Agent of the gov ernment, Mr. Ellsworth, who was here last week that he fell. in line and promised to so recommend, but alas it looks as if we will lose this long cherished vision for the simple rea son, as the government agent says, it seems that some of the property own ers, since finding out that the govern ment would buy, wants more for their ' property than it Is worth, judging from the tax valuation and the dilap idated buildings thereon, and as the government will not pay more than property is reasonably worth, it may cause us to lose the park at least. But if we could get this property at some thing like its worth and with the city's co-operation in keeping the park, the government will no doubt turn it over to be used publicly. "B. F. KEITH."
