THE DTTTY OF THE HOUR.

Every Delawarean who has the well
fare of the state and nation close at
heart will endorse the following edi-
torial sentiment of the Dover Della
warean:
That the next House Of Representa-
tives at Washington will be Democratic
is generally conceded. The tide has
set Enthusiastically in favor of the
Democratic party. There is very good
reason why this should be so. The
people want a thorough and impartial
investigation of the management of
the war, and not a mere whltewash.
They want to know who is responsible
for the suffering and death of so many
soldiers. A rigid, impartial and satis-
factory investigation can be made only
by a congressional committee not in
political accord with the War Depart
ment Moreover, many new and grave
questions of foreign policy will arise
during the next two years. 1t is de-
Hirable that the Democratic party
should control one house of Congress,
so that, so far as congressional action
goes, whatever policy may be adopted
shall embody the best sentiment Of the
whole country, and not be merely the
partisan act Of a temporary majority.
Delaware ought to be properly repre-
sented. Levin Irving Handy ought to
be returned-tO Washington to make
one Of the Democratic majority in the
next House. Every Democrat in Della
ware should be registered and vote for
Handy.
