Gus Of hitting that which they fired

at.
Many excellent persons who yet
venture into print pride themselves
upon their ''modesty,'' their "ab-
horrence of notoriety,' and to
them the unsigned article is dear.
They can fire, and sometimes even
hit their mark, but through the
smoke of their ambiguity, nobody
can locate their ambush.
Be not deceived, brothers and
sisters. Your modesty" is out of
joint. Your adherence of MOTOR
iety" is mere pinchbeck fear of
Mrs. Grundy.
Come out in the open, and let us
measure up-every man to his true
stature, and the quality and secur-
ity of his ammunition. He who is
uncertain about the state of his
cartridge belt will never, if he be
wise, engage with an adversary
who is known to be armed to the
teeth, and to have an inexhaustible
store of ammunition (Truth) at
hand. The writer who turks be-
hind the unsigned article is invar-
iably the man who is uncertain
about the state of his cartridge
belt. However well he may have
thought himself equipped when i'm
pulse started him into a ruction,
his supply of cartridges is sure to
be depleted very shortly i'll the pur-
suit of more or less inconsequent
game, while night finds him-the
Bogey Man still to be faced-down
to his last shot, if indeed he be so
fortunate as to command that.
Having sailed forth in a hurry
like "tender-foot" of the plains
he has neglected to supply himself
with an emergency store, and so,
and so-when the strong man,
armed, descends upon him, he is
wiped out. He is no more.
We have been asked why Father
Dougherty's name was not among
the protesting clergy Of Newark.
Without consulting Father Dough-
erty, we are safe in saying that a
Catholic priest warns and counsels
his Pensioners, individually and
privately, by means of sacramental
confession. He does not make use
Of the public press for the purpose
as his brother clergy, without that
medium of teaching their people
must do. Monthly, or occasional
card parties supervised by the
clergy themselves, whose retire
ment at a suitable hour is the sig
nal for all other guests to retire,
are not commonly regarded as an
evil, or an abuse of pleasure.
In your interesting and instruc-
tive Peoples Column, Mr.. Editor.
let us have fair play, by way OF
open combat and the signed ar.
ticle; from the Mayor of Newark
on Taxes down to Mary Ann
Crouch on Blackberry Jam.

Courts Decision insufficient
Editor Newark Post,
NV Dear Sir:

Editor Newark 1ost,
My Dear Sir:
Your patriotic defense of the action
of the School Board in assessing automo-
bile unreasonably high for School Tax,
must be Godsend to the Board, as their
defenders and partisans have been con-
spicuous by their absence.
We will endeavor to shoot a few holes
in your defense as follows:
l. Only one Court has passed on the
legality of assessing automobiles for
School Tax, so this decision is far from
"sufficient answer" or by any means
fnal-the question must be decided by
the Supreme Court of the State to be
finally settled.
2. This entire paragraph is weak. You
argue that because our Tax System is
unfair it should be made more unfair by
assessing an exorbitant amount on auto
mobiles.
We admit the bad system of taxation
in force in the State, but the other dis
elimination in tax are specified by law,
while we contend that the discrimina-
tion against automobiles by our Board
of Education is not only not specified or
even implied by any law but is entirely
opposed to all law, and ideas of fair
taxation.
8. The third meeting of the School
Board may have been attended by some
automobile owner who was willing to
pay 20 per cent, but he only spoke per-
sonally, and did not represent the auto
mobile owners generally, and was not
authorized to make any offer on our be
half whatever. We contend that even If
it is legal to assess automobiles for
School Tax at all, that we should not be
assessed more on our investment in auto
mobiles than we are on similar invest
ment in other taxable property.
1t is unfair for you to assume that the
automobile owners are agreed to a 20
PER cent tax, and we would like to have

Report Fails To Satisfy
Editor Post,
near Sir.

Editor Post,
Dear Sir:
Referring to the statement OF the
Board of Education, this unintelligible
tumble befogs the issue by citing only
part of the School Law, and it is Oh par
with the efforts of Mr.. Gilillan in the
past of rushing into print to justify the
old system of graded capitation tax, his
publications in defense of that outrage
rage didn t amount to much, and the
Automobile Tax will be buried by the
side of that older farce in short order.
We ask Mr.. Gilfllan to answer these
questions:
Why should the Board put higher
value on automobiles than insurance
companies do, and what mental gymnas-
tics did the Board perform to accom-
plish such expert knowledge, not possess
ed by highly trained specialists:
What part of the law justifies COM
parison between cows and automobiles
What propositions were offered which
llt not accord VIII othSi e'7oSN"iAie3'" %
personal property, and in what respect
did they not accord?
In what way does the present assess
ment compare even remotely fairly with
the assessment of other personal prop
erty!
Quote the law which exempts house
l-1J 49,, /, Fro,,, Ccbo,1 Toy
And referring to the expenses OF the
School answer these:
What is the annual cost of the Busi.
ness Course!
What was tie cost of installing the
/ Business Course!
How many have graduated in the Bus
/ mess Course?
How many graduates have taken anC
are satisfactorily filling clerical posi-
! tions!
What is the aggregate of their month
/ ly salaries!
Why was the Business Course installed
How long is it going to be continued
Is music taught in the Schools?
How much has been put in the Sinking
Fund to redeem Bonds as required b1
law!

PEOPLES COLUMN
The Unsigned Article
Editor The Post,
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
With what interest we settle our
selves to read the signed article OF
the newspaper or magazine that
claims our attention. 1t bears the
cGchet of authority, of personality,
of an honesty beyond dispute. Ii
the name signed be unknown to us
we at once wish to identify it. If
on the other hand, it be that OF
our friend or our foe, we recog-
nize his voice, hail his approach,
and lend willing ear to what he
has to say.
If he come from the camp OF the
enemy, let him at least bear the
flag of truce, which accredits him
to his own camp. If he be Of
"Ours' we have the privilege to
rejoice at his prowess.
That was a gallant and gentle
manly card recently seen in The
Post, and signed by four good
men and true, authorized Ministers
of the Gospel, in lawful protest
against the abuse of pleasure. Ger
tainly no reasonable person could
construe their protest as denounc-
ing lawful pleasure, within leglt-
innate bounds. Had they timidly,
or as the worldly-wise might say
"prudently" concealed themselves
in mystery, they would not have
spoken as having authority, or
proved themselves sincerely desir-

THE FARMERS MARKET

WIN lue view Ol DflllSluS out d
discussion on the Wilmington
Markets, we are printing a copy of
a bill which was presented at the
Session Of the General Assembly
two years ago. Although the bill
had the serious opposition of the
Wilmington papers at that time, it
lacked only one vote for passage.
This bill was presented with the
view of bettering conditions Oh the
market, from the farmers stand
point which in return means bet
ter service to the consuming pub
lie.
The Chamber Of Commerce has
taken up this subject and the ac-
ton is meeting with much favor
among farmers in this section.
Contrary to the views of two
years ago, we are pleased to see the
city editors recognize that there is
ample room for improvement. Next
week we hope to have the opinions
of some of the farmers in this sec
ton and their experience. The
wording of the bill follows:
An Act further regulating the
Farmers and Truckers Curb
stone Market in the City Of Will
mingtOn.
Be 1t enacted By the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the
State Of Deloware in General As

cordance with the following pro-
visions:
Such spaces shall be allotted,
first to the farmers and truckers
who are residents of the State OF
Delaware, and who have filed with
the Clerk of the Market applica-
tions for spaces on or before April
18th in each year, and then to any
other applicant.
Spaces now or hereafter allotted
to any farmer or trucker resident
of the State Of Delaware shall an
nually be re-allotted to such farm.
er or trucker, provided he shall
file application for the same on OF
before April 18th in each year.
Section 2. Any person who
shall make false statement OF
representation in making applica.
ton for such allotment Of space
shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall
be punished by a fine not exceed
ing ten dollars or by imprisonment
not exceeding thirty days, or botf
in the direction Of the Court.
Section 3. In case the Clerk Of

the provisions of this act, he shall

The writer can speak for himself, that
