Socialists Invade Newark

No one went to Odd Fellows
Hall last Friday night to hear the
Socialist party break into Newark
and so the meeting was held on
the street corner at the Post Office
by the "soap-box" system so COM
mon to the workers in that party.
The State organization was rep
resented by National Committee
man Frank A. Houck Of Whining
ton and Edward Norton, lately
national secretary of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, introduced
the speaker after a few remarks at
the opening. He was followed in
a tive-minute talk by O. r. Wash
burn Of Iron Hill, who declared the
Socialist movement to be one of
humanitariauism which all who
love God and man should share.
A striking feature of the even
ing was the appearance of w. II.
Conner, as one Of the speakers. Mr..
Conner was candidate of the
Democrats Of Pencader Hundred
for Representative to the General
Assembly at the last election. He
gave a five minute talk which was
well delivered, logical and earnest.
Samuel Clark Of Philadelphia, a
Socialist organizer of many years
experience followed with an ad-
dress of nearly an hour. During
the speaking others of the party
from Wilmington distributed lit
erature among the crowd, which
at no time was large, though few
stayed through the meeting.
The line of talk was confined to
national and industrial issues and
no one INDUCED in any personal
remarks or took the opportunity to
show any bitter feeling. One de-
clared after the meeting that
though no new members We're add
ed to the party, that they consid-
cred it good beginning and
would continue to hold meetings
and circulate literature.
The out-of-town delegation left
on the 1917 B & O., apparently in
contented frame of mind. Tt will
probably be long time before
Socialism gets much hold in New
ark but the persistency of the So
cialists is well known and if local
political leaders are wise they will
try to forestall their efforts, by
adopting progressive policies. The
best organized secular organization
IN the world is growing in Della
ware as elsewhere, and it's leaders
have decided to make a long cam
paign here.

BIG CROWD AT
HARVEST HOME
Proceeds Crafty Management

Favorable weather and an unus-
ually attractive program combined
made the Harvest Home in White
man S Grove last Thursday an un-
precedented success. More than
1900 people visited the Grove dur
ing the day, enjoying the speak
ing, the picnic dinner and the So
ciability of the time to the full ex-
tent.
Many brought the big basket
filed with a genuine picnic dinner
and enjoyed spread under the
trees, while 500 patronized the
tables in charge Of the ladies of
Ebenezer church. $3.50 was taken
in Oh the grounds, from which sum
at least 1925 will be added to the
treasury Of the church.
Excellent speaking featured the
day. The crowd was the largest
since the visit of Carrie Nation sew,
eral years ago.

The end of the first week finds
work on the sewer well under way,
with the prospect Of rapid ad-
vancrS marking the close OF each
dav. According to the time specl-
fled in the agreement. Contractor
Jacobs has $50 working days III
which to complete the job. This
means the necessity of an average
advance of 100 to 10 feet daily,
while it is expected now that the
new machine is in operation, from
400 to 800 feet will be completed
each day.
The plans accepted call for the
laving of 25,000 feet Of sewer. The
new machine put in operation can
take care of the excavating Of all
blh about 1000 feet where the
trench must be Of a depth of 70
feet. in which instance five feet
must be removed by hand. The
digging machine which has attract
ed so much attention during the
last week, weighs 80 tons. OF 90
horse power capacity, it digs to the
depth Of Is feet at the rate OF a
foot and half in length per min
ute. Resident Engineer HASTEN
huber, representative of II. Chalk
ley Hatton, consulting engineer for
the town, is continually at the
scene of action, personally running
the lines, laying the levels, etc.
Mr.. Warren of the same firm in
spected the work on Monday.
There are also two experts employ
ed by the town constantly on the
ground.
In the course Of the eXcavating,
the machine at times comes i'll con-
tact with the water main. In
these instances it has been found
more oXpcdient to cut off the SER
vice rather than lift the machine,

Pertinent Locally

Judge Churchman S determina-
ton to punish those who sell liq-
uOr to inebriates is meeting with
approval, an evidence of this fact
being the remarks of one of the
priests at st. Paul's Church on
Sunday with reference to the sale
of liquor to men already half-craz-
ed by drink.
Father Cotter mentioned the
fact that there is already law un-
der which the saloon keeper is liza
BILE to lose his license for selling to
inebriates, and he called upon the
young men Of the parish to get to-
gether and do something to pre-
vent such violations of the law.
And if they should respond to this
sensible appeal in a short time
there would be little complaint in
that neighborhood of the sale of in
toXicants to inebriates.
And this is a matter that the sa-
loon keepers themselves should
take up, for self-interest, if
prompted by no higher motive The
average saloon keeper knows as
well as any ony could know those
in his neighborhood who are drunk
ards or inebriates. He does not
have to be informed by the police
or given a list Of Identification. Oc-
casionally he might make a mistake
but the inebriates of a neighbor-
hood are known to everyone i'll the
locality who is at all alert, and the
saloon keepers are the first to know
them. The sellers Of liquor should
heartily cooperate with the author
tiles in their wish to prevent ineb-
rates and chronic drunkards from
getting liquor.

New Railroad Equipment

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road is receiving a lot of new pas
senger engines known as the fifty

has grown to such proportions,
they claim, that the old style en-

the demands for the increased traf-
fic, hence the heavier engines. 1t
is said that ten Of them will be used

race and race suicide, was by estab- fishing centres of "higher culture" where men physically anG mentally fit, could have numerous wives, is about to put it's theory into practice, That is they expect to if there are no legal obstacles.
 According to members of the So- ciety, each fine physical and mental male specimn is to have one wife at time until the purpose of mar riage has been accomplished. After that he may take another wife.
 Each woman is to be physically perfect and a beauty. Two years is considered to be the limit of mar ried life with one woman on the Eu- genie farm, and it may be dissolv- ed after one year. In this way the Society believes that in time a race known for it's "beauty and brains may be produced.
 The Society is reticent as to whether it will be necessary to go outside of the Society to get the first specimens of either sex who ca meet the requirements, with whom the farm is to be started. The So- ciety professes to be perfectly ser ious in the matter.

STRENGTH NOT VITALITY

At the Olympic games last year Ralph Rose, a gigantic youth who lived in San Francisco, proved him self the amateur champion of the world in several tests of great strength. He put the shot farther than any rival His bulk and mus cular development excited much ad- miratiou and no little wonder.
 A few days ago Ralph Rose was attacked by typhoid fever. That disease kills about : per cent of those whom it seizes. Among the old the proportion of fatal cases is larger. Among the young it is less than one in every fourteen provided that good nursing and good treat ment, such as Rose was given, can be had Ralph Pose died. He was one of the relatively small minor ity unable to withstand the strain of this ordeal which many thOus- ands of weak women and men of no especial physical power recover from without difficulty.
 The case ts not extraordinary. Very often the test of disease proves that muscular strength is a very different thing from teuacity of life. One family Of boys may be a fine group ot athletes and yet all may die in early manhood Another family may be able to boast no noteworthy strength or physical prowess and yet every member of may live to be eighty or more.
 Strength is an excellent thing but it is not necessarily synonymous with good health or length of days. It is much better to be well than to be very strong. vitality is more val uable to the average man or wo- man than great muscular develop ment, and it is better worth caring for as thoroughly and intelIigently as pOssible-C.oveland Leader.

fashioned, robust Republican, Col Swain
was prominent in politics, on his cwn

Yet the distinguished citizen of 1lli-

more of politician in his day
than many Of his official associates,
not excepting the head OF the ticket in

not engaged with saving the nation at
Washington.
Fairchild has good, safe district. and
he has watched over 1t with the care and
solicitude of a country merchant In a
crossroads store, so he can continue in
the House as long as he likes There Is
nothing to prevent his going into the
Senatorial primary, and the frequent in
timations that Senator Root may not do
so, pleading age and press of business,
will help the Fairchild ambition along,
providing he actually gets in the run
ming.
Word comes from California that the
senatorial campaign OF next year will
probably see three candidates before the
primaries, besides the fine old soldier,
George Clement Perkins, who has been
In the Senate for twenty years. He will
be seventy-six years old when his present
term expires, but that will not count
against him and the chief danger - the
projection of Progressive candidates, who
may divide Sthe republican vote and let
Democrat slip In. Then there Is the
lntimation that Francis J. Heney. who
has never recovered from his sudden boost
into prominence as prosecutor of the
EAASSO BIdAlSIS, may dnuOuICc himself
as candidate and as a conservative Re
publican with TO Progressive tendencies
or affiliations. The suggestion OF Heney
as conservative Republican opposed to
the dignified and honored Perkins may
cause some hilarity among those of the
East, who have known him in politics
or law, but there is the added comment
that strange things happen on the Pa
cific coast and Heney's conversion to con-
servative propositions is looked upon as
about going the limit.
That they read The Washington
Herald in faraway Southampton, Eng

umn OF Maj. Lacey's death and his
prominence as an Iowa member of
Congress. recalling that Col Swain in
his foreign office had framed pictures
OF Allison, Lacey, Gear. Dolliver, and
Clarkson-all great figures in Iowa
politics. With the death of Lacey, the
