BRYAN AND HE STRIKE

Bryan's managers have done all
things possible to prevent a settle
ment Of the labor troubles in the coal
regions Of Pennsylvania. They cared
not for the misery Of the miners and
their families and they delighted in
a condition which sent coal up to IS
a ton and almost out OF reach Of the
poor, with cod weather fast approach
ing. All they cared for was that cut
of this maelstrom OF discomfort and
misery they might get some votes for

has been the effort OF the Democrats
to prolong the strike that it has

DELAwARES POPULAR VOTE

Here in Delaware the popular vote
for president in the last twenty years
has been 90 follows:
1SsO-Hancock, Dem, 1925; Gar
field. Rep, l4,133.
Cleveland. DEM, 16,964;
Blaine, Rep. 12.951.
Cleveland Dem, 1e,lii; Harri-
son, Rep, 1898.
lss2-Cleveland, Dem, 1851; Har-
risOn, Rep. 1903.
Mckinley, Rep, 16,SO4; Bryan,
Dem, 1924,
The simple question arises whether
there has been a change OF sentiment
in favor OF Bryan and against McKin-
ley which win wipe out that major
ity OF 1854 obtained by Mckinley in
1895. The best-informed and most
astute Republican leaders In the state
who have had their fingers on the pu6-
lie pulse for several weeks say not.
The more conservative Democrats
shake their heads, but the Bryan spell
binders predict a revolution of senti-
ment. The betting man had better be
guided by the Republicans and con-
fervatiye Democrats.

The Philadelphia grand jury has rec
commended that the whipping-post be
established for wife beaters and this
conclusion is reached by the presence
OF large number OF men who beat
their wives as defendants in the Grim
ina courts OF the present term. While
this form Of punishment Is abhorrent
to many people, yet the fact stands
that It Is the only sort OF -retribution
that the brutal wife beaters will ap-
preciate or fear. But how about the
wives who beat their husbands and the
wives who sometimes deserve a beat
ing by their husbands?
The above is from the Chester Times.
Delaware has had more practical ex-
perience in the matter Of the whip
ping-post than any other state in the
Union, perhaps, and it discovered long
ago that 1t Is poor policy to whip a
woman. Although no special statute
has been provided FOR the protection OF
men In such cases as that set forth
by the Times, there is an unwritten
Jaw here that the proper course for
a man to pursue who cannot protect
himself against his wife is to get on
the other side Of a barbed-wire fence
and make terms OF peace with her. For
the man who cannot climb a fence
there is no protection.

That sentiment wiz find an echo in
every home where the family Is de-

In every home where the bins are empty
