The Ways OF the People. Their Pleas

Greenland's west coast is considered
to have the grandest scenery of any
coast in the world by Roger Pollock.
who writes of a journey thither as fol-
lows: 1.-The sunny arctic day, which
lasts for months; a sky all flaming
glory, the fretted spires of the Alps
fianked with stupendous cliffs and
based on the restful levels of the sea,
cities of crowded bergs, compound of
dazzling light and radiant color-such
scenery as that blots out ones former
memories. Our first port of call was
JakObshavn, at the head of Disco
strait, biggest of the northern villages,
a metropolis of nine white people and
400 natives. Beside a pocket harbor,
perched on round shoulders of the ma
ked granite, are the buildings, all tarred
black. of the Royal Trade company.
For a background to the dismal scene
rise higher rocks, Uttered with garbage
and turf huts, the homes of the ma
tives. At heart the place is gay, for
oar sailors went ashore every night to
dance with the Eskimo girls. while
the officers of ship and colony swapped
dinner parties, breakfasts and lunch
cons all through a nine days festival.
"NIen and women alike" the writer
continues, were linguists, well read,
accomplished, a little too polite for
comfort, living metropolitan life on

even the Danish men wore native
dress, but there was one important dis
tinction-they washed. The food, apart
from Danish groceries. was seal meat,
fish, reindeer, venison, shellfsh, ptar-
migan, sea birds and their eggs, which,
as served in Greenland. are always
pronounced in flavor"

stockholders and Jurien.

A prominent New York stockbroker
says: "The newspapers do not get wind
of even a small fraction Of the suits
brought against brokers because Of mis-
understandings between us and our Gus
toners. Ninety-nine customers out of
every hundred think we rob them when
they lose their money in the market
and give us no credit when they win.
We do our hardest to settle all suits
out of court, for there is not jury on
earth that will find a verdict for a
stockbroker. Why? Simply because
every juror has been scorched now and
then in the market and holds a grudgt
against all brokers."-New York Press

The death of Wilson L. Cannon of
Dover, a sketch of whom is found on
our second page, removed from the ac-
tivities of life one of Delaware's repre-.
sentative citizens. He was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him, not only
for his pleasant genial ways but for his
noble character. His DEATH" says
the Wilmington Evening Journal,
A'calls to mind many "reminiscences of
the good old days when men contested
for principles fortune, even as they do
now. In the year 1917 there were born
four men, all of whom were destined
to do much for Kent County, and to
impress their individuality on the
people among them. Two of them ex-
erted an influence which extended far
beyond the borders of the State, and
brought honor to our little common
wealth.
These four men were DIR. Heury

Just succumbed to that insiduous di-
sease which carries off so many old

''Ihere is bit of history attached to
Mr.. Cannon's career which at this
time is recalled by his associates, and
this is one of the significant events,
which at critical time changed the
history of Delaware. When our chill

Civil War, they read that at the out.

herself on the side of the Union. But
they are not now told how perilously
near we came to forming an alliance
with the Southern Confederacy, or a

Just before the war Mr.. Cannon
served a term in the House of Repre-
