a Duty TO DeIaware and the Conntry.


Delaware has had long and hard fight to
get back from the slavery OF "a rotten pocket
borough to the dignity and freedom OF a SOW
ereign Comm onwealth. She groaned for years
under the corrupt tyranny OF Gas Addcks
which gave way only to be succeeded by the
Du Pont dynasty of wealth and alleged bribery,
At last the day seems TO be breaking There
is light in the East. Wilson's candidacy has
led to Delaware's almost complete disenthral-
ment. To make her certainly free in the near
future it is only necessary to send the right
SORT Of representative to the United States
senate. The forces that have long held
Delaware as a political fef apparent
ly using all their power to prevent such
lection. The only reason for the opposition
to Willard Salisbury United States senator
seems TO he his record of opposition to these
forces. Fer the sake of her good name, as
well her emancipation from political serf-
d I'm. We earnestly hope that Mr.. Salisbury will
be elected.
He should be chosen for these reasons:
I. He original Wilson and is in
line with the Wilson program.
2. He has been fighting for years the bribers
and corruptlonists who have been attempting to
demoraze and debauch his State.
3. His triumph will be the triumph and de-
liverance of Delaware.
How can any Democratic member of the
Delaware legislature fail to see his duty

TO be read in the pressure brought bear upon
Turkey to accede TO the conditions of the allies
and to give up Its purpose to fight out the dis
puted points In the trenches. Lack Of money
Is the unanswerahle argument brought to bea7

sums necessary to carry on the lighting in the

Clifford Pinchot is quoted In a Washington
dispatch as declaring that the movement is one
I'm which men of high principles are fighting
side by side with men whose principles live
in their pockets, and for that reason 1t Is dou-
bly, to be feared"
This quotation sounds like an assault on
Perkins, Munsey, Finn ct ais, especially in
view of the fact that Mr.. Pinchot is believed
H. be opposed to allowing those capitalists to
dominate the Progressive party. On reading
1t one is inclined to qualification that Mr. Pin
chot has awakened to the realization of the
fact that a party composed of such incongru-
Gus elements as Finn and Lindsey. Munsey
and Pinchot, Perkins and Garfield, Hanna and
Jane Adams is dangerous, but further read
ing tells us that the Forester is talking about
the conservation movement. No doubt it is
all true, but one cannot help wishing that the
honored gentleman who said 1t could see that
1t is also true of the party of which he is one.
