THERE is general thankfulness IN these
strenuous times that the man in the White
House is serving the people so well.
His attitude OF fairness to all the elements
at war in Europe has two-fold effect
il keeps our own country out OF the ter
rible conflict and at the same time gives
the foreign nations such confidence in
him that presently he will be destined, in
all probability, TO render great service to
humanity in bringing about peace or
helping 10 solve the problems that will
arise when the war shall be over.

WE fully sympathize with the Progress
siveS and Democrats in Pennsylvania
who are working so hard TO rid them
selves OF the corruption in that State
which is the result OF politics OF the PEN
rose sort. Almost all the country is look
ing upward toward better things, and
Pennsylvania ought 10 get out OF the mud,
too. Crooked politics, graft, corruption,
the liquor saloons and kindred evils make
strong combination, but the people can
eliminate them all if they will only do so.

FROM every section OF the State come
reports of the enthusiasm which is being
created by COL Thos. E. Hodges, the
Democratic candidate for Congressman
at-large. This big, genial, whole-hearted
man is so genuinely sincere and so thor
oughly we'll fitted Tor the position to
which he aspires that he will not only
poll every vote in his own party, but will
get thousands from his personal friends
in the other parties. Colonel Hodges is
worthy the support OF any man, regard
less OF politics, and he ought TO be elected.
Hon. WIN. q. BROWN, Our Represen-
talive in Congress, may not be able TO
visit all the counties OF his district during
the campaign, but his friends and the
voters generally will not think any the
less OF him for that. He has been among
the faithful ones who have been at their
post OF duty in Congress day in and day
out, and We regard this as bette: CAM
paigning, at least among thoughtful per-
sons, than going on the stump, Ii has
been tremendously important that quo
rum should be maintained in both the
House and Senate during the extraordi-
narily trying days OF the past six months,
and Mr.. Brown has been in his place
with scarcely days absence. He de-
serves a reelection for his devotion 10
duty, and no man who feels that the pres
ent administration is deserving OF support
should fail 10 vote for him.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany announces that if will issue 5000,
O00,000 of bonds to take care OF its pres
entindebtedneSs and maturing obligations
and to provide for additional needs OF the
company. This enormous obligation,
while used to retire considerable guam
tity of other Indebtedness of the COM
pany, will increase by many millions,
presumably, the aggregate debts and thus
make further draft upon the earnings OIL
the road 10 pay interest. We cannot be-
leve that the b. & o. or any other cor
poration is iustifiable in piling up such
mountains OF Indebtedness, Tor ultimately
the limit will be reached and The crash
must come.
The tact IS, millions are being spent by
the railroads in Improvements" that are
sometimes worth while and sometimes
not-which ought to be deferred, at least
until they could be paid for out OF the
earnings Of the companies. 1t is as bal
for railroads as it is tor individuals to as.
sumo burdens OF dept that eventually
must crush them.

Residents Of the Rosalind Apartments,
near Sixth and jefferson streets, com
planned Of smoke from nearby houses.
The matter was referred for investiga-
tion The American Tobacco Company
was ordered TO clean out pool Of water
near their plant and to cover the pool
with boards.
Owing to all properties in Spruce
street between Ninth and tenth
streets being connected with sewers,
with one exception, the board decided to

az that time. Improper drainage was

State CONFORMS
TO military LAW
Status OF Colonel Slower and

By New Order
SOME CHANGES IN
MEDICAL CORPS, TOO

Acting In conformity with legislative
enactments passed after Congress had
adopted the militia bill requiring the
organization OF state troops TO be along
the lines Of the regular army establish
ment, Admtant General I. Pusey Wick
ersham has just issued orders that will
cause some changes in the Delaware
regiment eventually.
As result of the adiutant generals
action, Colonel Weller r. Stover, who
has been chief quartermaster and com
missarv Of the First Infantry, under
the new formation, win become chief
Of the quartermaster department with
rank OF major Major &. p Holcomb
eventually will lose his place as as
sistant adiutant- general, such office be-
ing abolished. The changes will not
take place until after the present Off
GERS retire, which Is entirely optional
with them and is not expected at this
time.
The new regulations provide for the
following staff corps and departments;
Adiutant-general's department, the ad.
iutant general, brigadier general, inspec-
tor generals department, one major;
Judge advocate generals department,
one major; quartermasters corps, one
major; medical department. one major;
ordinance department, ono maior.
officers and men of the medical
corps are wondering about the status
Of Major Meredith /. Samuel and
Captain g. c. McElfatrick. Just what
places they will have and what their
duties will be has not yet been an
nounced. Under the new regulations
Major William Marshall Of the gem
eral staff becomes CHIEF medical Off
Ger, and he and Major Samuel and
Captain McElfatrick are transferred
to the medical corps along with the
hospital detachment.
Adjutant-General Wickersham to-
day said the new order is to conform
the Delaware militia to the new Fed
eral law, and makes no change In the
personnel.
The changes, it is believed, leave
the Delaware militia in a position
to be merged with the militia of 9TH
er States should it become neces-
sary.
