Christian character and rare social at
fractions made her beloved and adj
mired by all who knew her. A son and

Charles F. Thomas, for years head OF
the printing, stationery and book firm
of G. F. Thomas & Co., has been APP
pointed manager for Delaware of the
Wilmington Rent Purchase Society, one
OF the organizations represented by the
American Investors Company of New
York.
The object of the society is to enable
shareholders and rentpayers to become
possessed of homes by the payment OF a
small sum down, and small monthly
payment thereafter. The operations
comprise five different styles OF invest
ment: Rent purchase fund, for those de-
string to secure homes, loan fund, for
those desiring to pay off mortgages, in
vestment funds, for those looking fer
safe investment at large interest, first
mortgage fund, for those wanting good
first mortgages at large interest, banking
fund, for those wanting stocks, bonds or
other securities.

twenty-five thousand strong as an I'M
necessary expense. Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes have warned the country
against a standing army as endangering
the liberties Of the people. High mill
tary authorities have urged the forma-
ton of an effective regular force as a
measure OF safety. But Congress has
uniformly refused to appropriate the
money. 1t is just possible that our
public men may learn the A B G Of war
during this conflict. They may learn
that ar army cannot be created out Of
raw recruits in thirty days. True, no
man OF common sense ever supposed
such thing could be done. Yet Con-
gressmen have objected to the creation
of moderate regular army, stating: we
could put half a million OF men in the
field in a week. But for such men as
Chandler, Whitney and Tracy, to whom
we must add Herbert, we should have
had no navy to win battles on the water.
But the creation of a navy has been like
pulling teeth. Congress has higgled and
haggled and put distractions in the
way of creating navy. 1t has been
afraid few battleships would somehow
get away with our precious liberties.
The people can now see who has been
urgent to defend liberty and honor, and
who has met these urgings with specious
demagoglc pleas. Every delay is the
fruit of demagogism. Ii Dewey is not
yet reinforced, the people have the
demagogues to thank for it. If Cuba
has not been freed, the demagogues are
responsible. As between Spain far away
and demagogues in our midst, we hest
tate to draw the line. The people must
draw the line, and they must begin to
draw the line now. The menace is not
the army, but the demagogues.

OLD DELAWARE

and a Feast of Intellectual Minds
Will Take Place.

Commencement week at Delaware

that, evening the Rev. Edward Henry
Eckle, graduate of the College in the

dress at the exercises on the morning
OF Commencement day. The other ex-
ercises Of the day will include the gradu-
ating orations, the announcement Of
prizes Won, and the comforting Of de-
grees.
1t is'possible that some of the gradu-
ating class who have recently enlisted
in the army will not be present to re-
ceive their degrees, but such of them
as can obtain leave OF absence will at
tend the commencement exercises.
Examinations of candidates wishing
to enter the College will be held at New.

same dates at Midllctown. smyrna,
Dover Milford Georgetown, Iawes. and

the College on September 18th and 18th.
The next College year opens on Tues
day, September 14th. Before that time
the machine and wood working shops,

THE army has not fought u single
battle" said Senator Daniel 'and yet
we are asked to authorize the govern
ment to borrow hundreds of Millions,
This, be it said, was not apoken by
Senator who proposes to hold back from
the President in prosecuting the war
with Spain, but by man who declares
that he will stand by the President to
the end and for the honor of the nation.
Yet it seems to be necessary to remind
Senator Daniel that the reason why we
have not invaded Cuba, and why we
have but just begun to reinforce Dewey,
is that Congress has for twenty years re-
fused to authorize a reasonably strong
regular army. 1t has complained of the
maintenance of an army nominally
