OF
DELA WARE
COLLEGE

For the first time this week the
Varsity and scrub teams were on the
field yesterday. owing TO the men go
ing home to vote and some minor in
juries received in the game last Satur-
day it was impossible to get them to-
gether
Signal practice was taken by both
teams, Coach Manakee paying particu-
lar attention 70 team work. Lack of
team work was what caused Delaware
to score Saturday. After practice a
short country run was taken.
The game which was to have been
played with Haverford next Saturday
was changed to Friday owing TO a num-
Der Of the players wishing to see the
Yale-Princeton game.
1t Is feared that the team viii be
without the services OF Wyatt, the star
right end as he is only able to be about
with the aid of canes. due to his left
knee being injured IN the Rutgers game.
This viii greatly weaken the team, as
Wyatt was almost invincible as an
end.
The scrub plays Goldey College in
Newark on Saturday.
A committee composed of DR.. Edgar
Dawson. Of Delaware College, and Pro-
fessor Charles $. Richardson, OF the
Maryland Agricultural College met In
Baltimore last Saturday and took pre-
| lmnary steps toward drawing a five
year football agreement between the
two colleges.
The weekly massmeeting was held to-
day in Oratory Hall to rehearse songs
and cheers for the Thanksgiving game.
The Newark cornet band viii be present
that day and make the occasion livelier.
1t IS earnestly hoped that an the 'old
grads" will take advantage Of the holi-
day and visit their alma mater and
lend their voices in support Of the "old
gold and blue"

The methods by which the Executive
acquired the Panama Canal route and
rights are source Of regret to many.
To them, the statement that thereby a
great public work was assured to the
profit Of our people is not a sufficient
answer to the charge of violation of
National good faith. They appreciate
that the principles and healthy con-
victiOns which in their working out
have made us free and great, stand
firmly against the argument or sug-
gestiOn that we shall be blind to the
nature of the means employed to pro-
mote our welfare. They hold that ad-
herence to principle, whether it works
for our good or i'll. will have a more
benefcent influence on our future des-
tiny than all our material upbuilding,
and that we should ever remember that
the idea of doing a wrong to a smaller,
weaker nation that we, or even all
mankind, may have a resultant good is
repugnant to the principles upon which
our government was founded.

GREATER MARKETS NOW
EEnEn

In my address to the Notification
Committee said that tariff reform sis
demanded by the best interests of both
manufacturer and consumer" With
equal truth it can be said that the
benefits of reciprocal trade treaties
would enure to both That the con-
sumner would be helped is unquestion-
able That the manufacturer would
receive great benefit by extending his
markets abroad hardly needs demon
stration. His productive capacity has
outgrown the home market The very
term Home Market" has changed in
its significance. Once. from the manu-
facturers' point OF view, it meant ex-
mansion: to-day the marvellous growth
of our manufacturing industries has
far exceeded the cOnsumptive capacity
of our domestic markets, and the term
Home Market" implies contraction.
rather than expansion. If we would
run our mills to their full capacity,
thus giving steady employment to our
workmen and securing to them and to
the manufacturer the profits accruing
from increased production, other mar
kets must be found Furthermore.
when our manufacturers are dependent
ported. il is vital TO the extension or
their markets abroad that they secure
their materials on the most favorable
terms.

30 the Honorable Champ Clark ond
Others, Committee, etc.
CENTIESIEN:
In my response to your Committee at
the formal notification proceedings 7
referred 10 some matters not men
iioned in this letter. I desire that these
be considered as incorporated herein
and regret that lack of space prevents
specific reference 20 them all. I wish
here. however, again TO refer to my
views there expressed as to the cold
stapdard. 20 declare again my unouali-
feJ belief in said standard. and TO ex-
press my appreciation of the action of
fbe Convention in reply to nv COM
uunication upon that subject.
Grave public questions are pressing
Tor decision. The Democratic marty
appeals 20 the people with confidence
that its position on these questions
vii be accepted and endorsed at the
polls. While the issues involved are
numerous. some stand forth pre-emi-
nent in the public mind. Among these
are: Tariff Reform, Imperialism. Eco
nOmical Administration and Honesty
in the Public Service. I shall briefly
consider these and some others within
the necessarily prescribed limits of this
letter.

IMPERIALISM

While I presented my views at the
notification proceedings concerning this
vital issue. the Overshadowing impor-
lance Of this question impels me to re-
Ger % IL again. The issue is often
times referred-to as Constitutionalism
vs. Imperialism.
III we would retain our liberties and
constitutional rights unimpaired. we
cannot permit or tolerate at any time
or az any purpose, the arrogation Of
Unconstitutional powers by the execu-
tive branch Of our government We
should be ever mindful Of the words Of
Webster. Liberty is only to be pre-
served by maintaining Constitutional
restraints and just divisions Of political
powers"
Already the national government has
become centralized beyond any point
cCntemplated or imagined by the franz
ers Of the Constitution. How tremend-
ously al this has added TO the power
81 the President Ii has developed
ron year 70 year until il almost equals
hat 81 many mOnarchs. While the
Growth Of our country and the magni-
noe of interstate interests may seem
n furnish a plausible reason for this
renfralization Of power. yet these same
faCiE AFFORD the most potent reason why
fhe executive should not be permitted
ID encroaCh upon the other depart
uonts az the government. and assume
lerlslative. or other powers. not eX-
.rreesly conferred by the Constitution.
To- magnitude Of the country and
- diversity Of interests and popula-
ficn would enable a determined. ambi-
nous and able executive unmindful OF
rrnFfffutiOnal limitations and fired
nffh fhe lust Of power. 10 go far in the
rsurrafion % authority and the
Errrandizement Of personal power be

fIzfed or the people be aroused.
The issue OF Imperialism which has

This difference Of principle still sub.
s11s, out our party appreciates tina
ne long-continued policy of the coun.
uy. as manifested in its statutes
makes II necessary that tariff reform
should De prudently and sagaciously
undertaken, on scientific principles &c
the end that there should not he an
ditions. wi"
In the words of our platform we de.
uialu a revision and a gradual reduc.
tIOu OF the tariff by the friends of the
--lo9SeS' ana Tor the common veal. and
uOl Dy the friends of its abuses. its ex-
OoTtlons and Determinations"
IL is true that the Republicans. who
40 not ADMIT in their platform that
me Dlngley Tariff needs the slightest
alteration, are likely to retain a ma
!orlty OF the Federal Senate through
OUT the next Presidential term, and
could. therefore If they chose. block
every attempt at legislative relief. But
IL should be remembered that the Re-
publican party includes many revision
ISIS, and | believe it will shrink from
oefying the popular will expressed un-
mlstakably and peremptorily at the
ballot box.
The people demand reform of ex-
listing conditions. Since the last Dem
ocratic administration the cost of liv-
ing has grievously increased. Those
having fixed incomes have suffered
keenly; those living on wages. if there
mas been any increase. know that such
increase has not kept pace with the
advance in the cost of living. including
rent and the necessaries of life. Many
to-day are out of work. unable to Sc
cure any wages at all. To alleviate
these conditions, in so far as it is our
power, should be our earnest endeavor.

COMMON LAW AND TRUSTS

Whether there is any common law
which can be applied and enforced by
the Federal courts, cannot be deter
mined by the President, or by a candi-
date for the Presidency.
The determination of this question
was left by the people in framing the
Constitution. TO the Judiciary and not
TO the Executive. The Supreme Court
Of the United Staes has recently con-
sidered this question, and, in the case
Of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
