KEEP COOL

The discussion of Sunday viola
tions of the law by certain restau-
rants and stores. and the misuse of
slot-machines at certain places of
of business, has become so confus-
ed that a public review of the facts
seems necessary to a clear under
standing. The whole question has
been clouded by irresponsible COM
ment and gossip. Every kind of
report has been presented to us
which if given publicity would set
the town aire. The great trouble
with this, as with other issues, is
that those who make the most start
ling statements do not want to be
quoted.
To our mind this is not ques-
ton of any one society or church !;
it is just a plain question for ordl-
nary decent citizenship. If the law
is being violated and Council is ac-
quainted with specific facts we are
confident that the evil will be cor
rected with dignity and with suffi
cient force.
Conditions are not such as to
warrant statements now being
spread broadcast. If we discussed
this question as men, an interpre-
tation of the law can be had with
out the private detective work of
any Law and Order Society.
Instead of raids and sensational
onslaught let US look at this ques-
ton sanely.
We shall attempt next week to
give a clear statement of the facts.
We shall ask for an interview with
those prominent in the discussion.
In this way only can we find out
where we stand.

A Preacher Drives Il Home

Nhat we are trying to preach
to all about the prompt and liberal
support of some good home news
paper, or more than one if at all
possible, We find expressed per-
haps more fuently in some of our
State contemporaries. 1t is a
teaching as clear as that a man who
is alive should try TO live on and
work and accomplish something
that he may give an account of his
stewardship. Who wants it said of
him what was recently told here:
This CORPSE has been a mem
ber of this church for seven
years -
In our opinion, one of the best
methods to Do something for
community is the new idea of CO.
operation, and this should be begun
by every living man and woman
taking a personal and financial in
terest Though smalD in his home
paper.
The Milton Times, more strength
to the arm of its rector-editor,
comes to our desk this week with
the whole thing talked out just
like a preacher can when he gets
warmed up. Here are a few of
Brother Behringer's paragraphs:
The local newspaper opens
its columns freely and will
lngly to every organization
and institution in the town, an
nouncing their meetings, re-
porting their proceedings, and
adding timely encouragement
to their undertakings.
To regard newspaper as
merely an enterprise which
asks for living for its pro-
prletor, is sentiment born of
ignorance, coming from those
who do not care to keep in
formed of the happenings of
the day, and therefore is not
worthy of notice. A news
paper at the least is a medium
OF education and a promoter of
good. In promoting the inter-
ests of every institution and or
ganization in town it is indi-
rectly promoting the interests
of every individual member of
any organization in town, and
therefore every citizen who has
any sense of appreciation
should be supporter of his
local paper.-State News.

| admit that Newark should af-
ford a good first-class eating house
and appreciate the fact that res
taurant license is very comprehen-
sive in its scope, but, at the same
time, | denounce the right of any
man holding such license to sell
such things ON Sunday as tobacco
and candy or to run gambling
machine. That certain stores do
sell the aforesaid articles on the
Sabbath | have positive proof and
challenge any man to gainsay it.
The reason why those who advocate
closing the said stores referred this
matter first to the local authorities
was to avoid displaying Newark S
scandal before the eyes of the pub
lie.
Since the members of the Town
Council are unable to act favorably
upon said petitions and since they
have publishtd the same, let those
to whom this affair pertains, take
due notice of the fact that there is
such a thing as a Law and Order
Society to whom this non-law- -abid-
ing act will be referred. Let those
who are on the Lord s side show
their colors by enlisting with those
who are interested in the cause of
civic ri ightousnesS to such an ex-
tent as to oppose the violating Of
God s holy Sabbath.

COMMUNITY WELFARE

According to the Newark Post
the alumni of the High School of
that town have organized for the
purpose of promoting community
service and neighborhood co-opera-
tion. Meetings are to be held for
the Liscuss:an of town affairs, and
ctlt of the organization will grow,
it is expected, something similar to
the old New England town meet
ing.
The only suggestion we might
make is that membership of town
organization should not be confined
to the graduates or former stu
dents of the High School. If the
purpose is to be as broad as indi-
Gated. we should think that gen.
eral association of taxpayers would
be better. Such a body could ac-
complish much for the town, and
for the county. individuals can do
little as compared with what an as
sociation can do.
There should be organizations of
citizens in every town in Delaware.
Their field of usefulness is practic-
ally unlimited. They speak for
community. They discuss every
thing that relates to the welfare of
the community. Here in Whining
ton the last few years there has
been revival of the organizations,
all doing good, and public officials
watch them with much more con-
Germ that they admit.
The mere announcement that the
Taxpayers League of Wilmington
was observing the Levy Court caus-
ed the commissioners to take notice.
Some time ago the question of
buying the Philadelphia turnpike
was hanging fire. Persons living
along the road became interested,
bestirred themselves, and put an
end to the delay. If we had a coun-
ty taxpayers league, active and |
alert, not awake only now and then,
we should have better county gov
ernment, better care Of the roads, |
more economy. Most of the COM
plants about government arise
from the fact that the citizens are
not interested in public matters as
they should be.
Newark is a good town, progress
sive, one of the best in the State,
and no other town should go ahead |
faster than the seat of Delaware
College. 1t rests with the citizens
whether it shall do so. The Alumni
Association is a step in the right
path.
Wilmington Morning News.
The above from the Morning
News should offer encouragement
to those interested in the new move
ment started by the Alumni AS
sociation of our High School. The
suggestion here that the member
ship include all taxpayers is ex-
actly IN keeping with the idea of
the organizers. Several attempts
have been made here from time to
time for community organization
but without success. These High
School graduates have effected an

Lama then discovered that the son
just born into the house Of Tushetu
Khan. the most powerful of the Mon
golian princes, a direct descendant Of
the great conqueror OF Genghis Khan,
was himself reincarnation Of
Buddha
The marvellous boy was taken to
Lhasa, there brought up and after
ward sent home as the first Khutukh-
ia grand abbott of Urga.
1t was from this great appointment
that the present Khutukhta, the eighth
in the order OF succession. has de-
scended-though not in the flesh. For
the Khutukhtas have no business to
marry and to establish a dynasty but
are selected each time on the death
of the last holder of the office from
among the babies born at that very
moment.
None Of the previous seven Khu-
tukhtas was allowed to live too long.
1t is sign of decadence of the old
Pekin authority that the eighth Khu-
tukhta. who was born in 1871. has sue
ceeded in asserting his right to live so
long as this.
But his life has been a worthless
one. He has great prediction for
strong liquors. he is very fond OF
cards, he likes the yellow. glittering
metal more than anything else in the
world. and, so far from passing his
time in pious devotions. he rides in a
motor car, plays the piano, listens to
the phonograph, and has surrounded
himself with little harem.
1t Is these worldly qualities which
have made him accessible to Russian
Influences. but 1t would not surprise
the Mongolian world to learn that
they also have brought upon him his
ruin.
