Mlddleman Gets Profit.
To be exact there are Just 900 Of
the yellow badges OF honor which
are handed out today. and for the
sake OF owning, wearing and other
wise displaying one OF these dear
token every individual who gets one
must pay 81 in spot cash with no
discount. coupon or trading stamp
In connection These badges cost the
sum Of Sc for the whole thousand,
so that the profit may be figured
out as being 90 % cents per badge
which beats the standard oil bust
ness some This is another case
where the middleman gets all the
profit and In this case the middle
man, which is tre Chamber OF Com

All OF this money is TO be used by
tho Chamber OF Commerce for Its

so at all that Joe Isaacs is going to
take a trip cast ON the money which
he collects. Secretary Lon d. Mars

For each badge not returned,

nate from the feminine mind the love
of social conquest, for social conquest
is the breath of life to the average
woman.
OF course, the titled men who marry
American heiresses are not in the
front rank Of the genuine, hall-marked
English nobility. With the exception
of the Duke Of Marlborough-who
title ranks "A1 at Bloyds"-the men
who marry American women are gem
orally mere pauperous scions, merely
the fringe of the aforesaid nobility.
Such immensely wealthy patricians as
the Duke of Norfolk, Englands pre-
mier Duke, the Duke of Bedford, the
Duke of Portland, the Duke of West

after serving his country gratuitously
for many years, has just passed away

rightly, marry in their own exclusive

and the preachers. The old political wiseacres
either concerned themselves not in the campaign
or worked under cover.
But since the election there has been an evident
disposition the part of the temperance people
and the license men, though apparently not so
openly pronounced among the latter to keep this
issue alive and to thrust it into the coming poti-
cal election. What the election of delegates TO
State convention that is to choose delegates TO
national convention which is to nominate presi-
dental candidate has to do with Prohibition in
Delaware, is not plain The only purpose of in
jecting such issue in such an election is for re-
venge, to get even for real or fancied grievances
And yet we hear on all sides of the wet" and the
dry issue, not only in the election of these dele
gates, but in the nomination of candidates for all
State positions
The temperance issue could come up effectively
only in the Legislature and in the election of can
ddates to the Legislature is perhaps the only
place where this issue could figure If the "wet''
and dry question, which we presumed had been
settled tor a time at least is to be continually
thrust to the front there will be a constant dis
turbance OF political conditions, the outcome of
which no one can predict 1t certainly would
mean trouble for the political leaders
1t should be remembered that the Prohibition
lists gained their votes at. an election when
other issues were not involved For years the
Prohibitionists locally and nationally have main
tanned a separate political party which made as
a separate party but little headway In Della
ware 1t has not figured to any extent 1t seems
to us a mixing of Prohibition with other political
matters in Delaware will damage the Prohibition
cause

PROHIBITION AND POLITICS.

nURING the local option campaign last No
- vember a rumor was started that the tenn
perance leaders proposed to form a State organi-
zaton which would take a hand not only in local
option elections, but in all other elections
Coupled with the rumor was an alleged slate Of
candidates for positions under the new party. As
soon as this rumor was published there were
prompt denials by leaders of the Prohibition
cause in the lower counties-men skilled in the
management Of political affairs who distinctly
stated that their position in fighting for prohibi-
ton in the lower counties had nothing to do with
their allegiance to their own political parties The
election was made special election chiefly for
the purpose OF divorcing the question of license
or no license from the current politics of the State
The tact that no license won in the lower counties
was owing largely to the efforts Of these political
leaders OF the old parties who Joined with the pro
hioition cause and really directed its forces.
AT the time Of the publication of the above
mentioned rumor there was no doubt that few of
the prohibition leaders, especially some of those
IN New Castle county were heartily in favor OF
forming State wide new party with prohibition
as its basic principle These men. as the results
