Directum | At Kirkwood

A big crowd of people assembled at
the Mccoy track, near Kirkwood, Del,
on Thursday afternoon to see Direc-
tum l., go against time. Directum /.
holds the worlds record for the fast
est mile in race, record made the
past summer in his battle with Will
liam. The horse was driven Thursday
by G. Raymond Snedaker who cam
paigned him the past season. A high
cold wind blowing up the track made
the trial virtually sure of failure, de-
spite the wind shield. The time of
the mile was 1859 LA remarkable
record under such adverse circum-
stances. Directum !. is owned by Jas.
Butler, of New York.

SETTLED FOR GOOD.

IT'S like living with the old wife.
After keeping up the habit for some
thirty or forty years a fellow finds it
a fixed habit, a rather comfortable sort
of a habit, and never even thinks Of
making a change. 1t looks as if Cecil
had about come to this stage of matri-
monial alliance with no-license. 1t
looks as if we were welded to the ar
rangement for life. That's where our
increasing majority against license
comes from. We give all credit, with
great cheerfulness, to everybody
whose activity and influence contri-
buted to the result. But after all the
biggest factor in getting increasing
ly large majorities for no-license is
the simple fact that we are become
Through long term of years. so ac-
customed to the arrangement that we
would be sort of upsetting our whole
habit of life by going back to the IL
censed bars. In other words, we are
getting "sot", and $50 sot" that one
can pretty safely predict that no.
license is a fixture in this county.
Tuesdays vote pretty well settled that
point. We rather thought it would,
provided the people didn't take too
much for granted and came to the
polls. They came and they came
with a great big no-license majority
in their pockets. 1t is hard to say
what District showed up best. The
old Fifth-so long the banner no-li-
cense district of the county-very
generously conceded that her laurels
must be divided with other districts
now. But there is "glory enough to
so round" and we can all be just
humbly thankful together that our
people are becoming so generally ard
thoroughly convinced that commun-
ity without saloons is better off from
every point of view. That is no Ion
ger debatable question in this county
and we very much doubt if it ever has
to be debated again in our midst.

THE NATIONS JUDGMENT

"klLLlNG business by legislation
and then taxing the corpse" That,
about as succintly as anything else,
furnishes the reason for Tuesdays
verdict at the polls, pretty much
everywhere throughout the nation.
The people passed judgment of con
demnation on the Democratic record
in the Congress just adjourned, and
even President Wilson's personal
popularity and high standing could
not avert that judgment. Look over
the list of States which elected Repub-
lican Governors; note the changing Of
complexion of the next Congress,
where the Democratic majority will
be greatly reduced if not extinguisn-
ed; and one must be impressed by the
fact that the people have not been
satisfied with the way the late Demo-
cratic Congress has been doing
things. 1t is not simply that the Uu-
derwood tariff has been disappoint-
ing, that the levying of new and ex-
ceptional taxes (for treasury def
cts due to the insufficiency of the rev.
enue receipts) has been most object
ionable; these things have counted,
but not counted most. The serious,
unmistakable fact is that the country
has wearied of the interminabe tin
kering with business and the persist
ent attempt to Change immutable eco
nomic currents by experimental, half
baked theories and impractical trans
cludental vagaries."
The Democratic majority misunder-
stood its message from the people. 1t
came into power by Republican fac
tional division. 1t interpreted it's sue
cess-which it secured by minority
vote in consequence of zee Republican
split-as a commission from the peo-
pie to execute program of radical
Democratic legislation. This is where
it made its error. Had it been con-
tent with revision of the tariff on
more conservative lines, maintaining
the protective principle. but freeing
the tariff of its inequalities and ire
gularities, and the neactment of the
new currency law, the result might
have been different. But it was drunk
with power
1t proceeded to heckle business, de-
velop system of centralized govern
ment before which even the extremist
Hamiltonian Republican would have

most rabid labor fanatics and produc-
ed feeling of dismay among the most
conservative, thoughtful elements of

only one conclusion unless all the tra

The Republican party has been
chastened in defeat. 1t must regard
it's new victory, not as a vindication
of stand-patism or reactionary atti-
