INSURGENTS LOSE
IN GRANGE BATTLE
Wives Arrayed Against Hus-
bands in BaIloting on
Fight for Control.

Atlantic City, n. 1.-THE move by
the insurgents for access to the DOCKS
OF the National Grange to secure eVl-
dence of alleged reckless use OF funos
of the organization met defeat after
the debate, in which the hostile forces
put forth their best speakers.
Worthy Master Heme, of Michigan,
presented the resolution, asking per-
mission to go over the records. Then
speeches were made by Masters
Spence, of Oregon; Kegley, OF Wash
ington; Hoyt, of South Dakota, and
others.
Wives, who according to the law OF
the Grange are given equal FRANCHISE
with their husbands, in many cases
voted in opposition to the men wheh
the standpatters and insurgents IN
ally lined up for the ballot. Wheh
the vote was counted the insurgents
had met with defeat in their flrst
move to wrest the control from the
present administration.
Co-operation in stores, life and fire
insurance, marketing products, chiefly
occupied the attention OF the Grange
prior to the war over the opening OF
the books. Every state master VINO
reported declared that, where the co
operative plan had been introduced
it was growing in popularity and was
saving large sums to the farmers.

PLUTARCH AND REYNOLDS
VILE.

"As for me-" wrote Plutarch," | am
resident of small village and will not
leave it lest it grow smaller"
And the good old philosopher, who
might have enjoyed fame and luxury in
Rome, spent his mature years in the
village of Chaeronea serving in The
humblest offices rendered him by his
fellow citizens.
Would to God that the same spirit of
local pride could be instilled into the
minds of our own people, and inversely,
that the ''to-Hades- with-the- town"
sentiment could be punished as treason
to ones country is punishable.
No man can grow too important to
exercise the duties of citizen, and the
duties OF citizenship begin at home.
The civic and social institutions OF a
small city are as important and confer
as great rewards as those of large, and
they who share the benefits of such
institutions should willingly share the
burden and expense OF maintaining
them.
The man who thinks himself too big
to accept local Office is suffering from
expansion Of the Uranium and betrsys
the smallness OF his moral calibre. "No
Office can confer dignity on man."
continues Plutarch, "but he who holds
it may give dignity to any Office"
From which 1t follows that the accept
ance Of an inferior Office does not de-
tract from the honor Of any man, but
rather adds to it, since the service
rendered is not for self but ones
country, and the lower the Office the
greater the compliment paid to the
public,
The most conspicuous modern Illus
tration Of this is furnished by Ermsn ].
Ridgway, publisher Of Eyerybody's
Magazine. Ridgway, through his
editorial management Of Everybody's,
has done as much to influence public
sentiment IN the United States In
recent years as any one man in the
union, and yet thinks 1t not beneath
him to accept the nomination for
mayor Of his own little city Of Mont
clair, New Jersey. II believe that
every man and woman should take q
lively interest in the affairs Of the
community" says Ridgway. II have
tried to do that not unselfishly."

The Look Haven Normal.

The Lock Haven State Normal School
has had gratifying success, both as a
Training School for teachers and as a
preparatory school for students that
desire TO go to college, Its home life is
particularly attractive to its students
and patrons. Probably no otherfeature
has contributed so much to its success.
Parents realize that their children are
all we'll taken care of, both morally and
educatonally. Reference is made to
this fact because the burning question
with most parents is chiefly the one
bearing upon the advantages any school
offers In the way Of safe guarding and
developing the characters of its pupils.
The splendid patronage that this ideal
ly located school now has is the best
assurance of its worth as an institution
of learning. II issues beautiful
catalog which will be sent free to any
one writing for il. Rooms are now
being reserved for the fall term begin
ming September 9th.

Delaware College Alumni Hold Import
ant Meeting

The Delaware College Alumni Asso-
ciatior met Wednesday afternoon and
TRANSACTED the regular routine OF busi-
ness. The attendance was the largest
in the history of the Association. In
consideration of the work accomplish
ed by the retiring officers and feeling
that with their complete knowledge
of the situation, II would be unwise
to make change at present, they
were all neglected. The officers are:
Hon, w. Fl. Heald, President; Chas.
w. Bush, e-President; DIR. w. O..
Sypherd, Secretary, and Prof. c. A.
Short, Treasurer.
On behalf OF the Alumni Fund
Committee, Joseph H. Hossinger re-
ported an annual contribution of $500
which is equivalent, to Jan endowment
of $4,000. He reported $50 turned
over to Agriculture Department for
purchase of balance for the Depart
ment of Agronomy, $50 to the library,
$Iso to Athletics to pay for appara-
tus and fixing field and track, and $50
for prizes in English.
On recommendation OF Athletic
Committee, the 22o yard dash and dis
Gus throw were added to the Inter
Class events, and the 10 lb. hammer
substituted for the IL Id. hammer to
make the events compound with the
intercollegiate schedule. Also new
record established in any regular meet
would stand as the college record.
President William H. Head, in a
brief address, urged upon the Alumni
the necessity Of subscribing to the
Alunni Fund, stating that where one
has financial interest, he is likely to
develop other interests, and out OF
gratitude for an education furnished
free to all Delawareans that will come,
we should support the institution in
every way we can. Only in this way
can we convince the world that we
are worthy of help; for no philanthro-
pist or organization will help us until
we show disposition to help our
selves.

The Naval Heroes OF The War OF 1872

Perhaps the world has never beheld
such galaxy of naval stars. as the
Slip captains of the American Navy
in the war 1872. What they did to
humble the pride of the acknowledged
Mistress OF the Sea- helped to cover
up the blunders of our land forces,
which suffered from incompetent lea
dership. At the olcse of the Revolu-
ton the American Navy was pitiabiy
weak Few ships of war survived the
long years OF struggle, and outside
OF Paul Jones and Barry there
were no captains OF distinguished
merit. But our war with the Barbary
States, ISoI- 1904, laid the foundation
tor a new and efficient navy. The
one man ,ho was largely responsible
for the training and development OF
the 1872 naval stars, was Commodore
Edward Preble. When he entered
upon his duties as commodore OF the
American Squadron in the Mediter-
ranefn he was in the prime of his
manhood, and full of vim. At first
the young officers were inclined to be
hostile to him, because he was a rigid
disciplinarian and man of high tenn
per- But dislike changed to respect
and admiration as they became better
acquainted with him. He furnished
them with abundant opportunities to
try out their adventurous spirits. Ig-
norlng the cautious policy OF the or
dinary commanders of his time he
dared to run his whole squadron
into the enemy's harbor, and for hours
lombard great stone forts and cas-
ties. occasionally varying the proceed
ings with landing party sent ashore
IN small boats under cover OF the
heavy guns of the frigates Those
years OF hard service prepared both
officers and seamen for the severer
test, which was to come eight years
later When the war of 1872 broke
out we had only few ship captains;
but they were the very best, and they
were nearly all young men. who had
| had taste of war in the skirmishes
with England and France following
the Revolution, arHl who had GRADUATE
ed in Prebles school of naval warfare
Ill the Mediterranean Sea.
Captain Jacob Jones was AZ years

Company E To Go In Encampment

Company E, the local company of
the Delaware Militia under Captain
L. L. Jacobs, will go to Rehoboth for
a wessss annual .encampment, the 23d
of July. The week will be spent III
maneuvers with the rest OF the Della
ware Regiment The posting and re-
lieving of sentinels will be among the
many daily duties OF the militia while
i'll camp. The militia is considered to
be especially lucky this year in being
able to go to Rehoboth, as there will
much better surroundings than
there were at New Castle last year
The encampmem being at Rehoboth
will also give the people of lower
Delaware a chance to view the maneu-
vers of the troops.
After week at Rehoboth Company
will spend week at Fort DUPONT
to take part in the coast artillery ex-

men to understand the handling oi
the large guns and mortars and there
will be target practice with the large
guns.
