Just "A Moment
DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius, the
Sunshine Man.

Many times the exact thing we ask
for. in the form we ask for it, would
be the worst thing for us, and what
we really do not want.
I'VE, ignorant of ourselves, beg Of
ten our cwn harms, which the wise
gods deny us for our good so find
we profit by losing our prayers says
Shakespeare.
Therefore, in such cases our heav-
enly Father gives not merely a sub
stitute for what we asked, but what
we would have asked had we known
all things pertaining to it as God
knows them, what We really wanted,
not what we thought we wanted.
A child asks for the moon. but he
does not really want the moon, which
would only crush him TO death. but
a bright plaything, and the parent
answers the child's request by giving
him the plaything, and would not
have answered by giving him the
moon. A child asks for a white pow
der he sees, thinking it sugar, when
in reality Il is poison. When the
parent refuses the poison. and gives
real sugar instead, he, not in a literal
form, but a thousand times more
really, gives what the child asks for.
So does God with US, and so at last
we shall see that every true prayer
is really swered.-Selected.
In the last conversation I had with
my beloved and glorifed friend,
George Macgregor. we had been talk

expression superlative; / have be-
come convinced that he was right.
He did not minimize the value of
preaching but he had come to under
stand that the supreme need is that

That .INSIpIOus LOBBY.r

ET it not be forgotten when the American public
l. is considering the charge made by President
Wilson that 'insidous lobby" has been at work en-
dcavoring to hamper and discredit his administration
that the result of his charge and the investigation
that followed Il has been the resignation of Demo-
cratic member Of Congress II was another instance
in which a Democratic gun, loaded for Republicans,
blew out at the breech.
1t now is a matter of record that after President
Wilson's of what he called the "insid-
ous lobby" in Washington and after all the investga-
lions he started in the two Houses of Congress and
after all the speeches and long months Of investga-
and great expenditure of money the net result

guilty Of improper acts. The Democrat is James T.
McDermott, of Illinois. The Democrats of the commit

pELAwARE AND ITS CRABS.

OvER n New Jersey the State Bureau Of Shell
~ Fisheries has announced that Il will ask the
Legislature pass law for the protection Of crabs.
1t has been discovered that the supply in that
State is diminishing steaeiy and decision has been
reached that something of protective nature must be
done to protect that species Of shell fish from ex-
tnction in Jersey waters
Charles r. Bacon is chief Of the bureau. He has
issued a statement bearing upon the crab situation.
It is follows:
Everybody goes grabbing at the seashore and no
body has the slightest notion as 70 the value Of pre-
serving crabs for future growth and development The
experience Maryland and Virginia the great centers
for this shell fish, has been that without proper egs
lation the industry would long ago have ceased to
exist because Of the utter disregard Of those who take
the crabs for the necessity Of cultivation All sizes
and conditions Of the she'll FISH have been taken from
the waters. and found that even during the
spawning with propagation also in progress,
large quantities Of the female crabs taken from
the waters and sent to market
"No regard had for the sizes conditions and
the result was a rapid depletion or the waters with
destruction Of the industry certain Those who fore
disappearance Of the crab in those waters
took up the question with the Legislatures of Vr-
gnia and Maryland and obtained laws for the protec
ton of the industry which have resulted very mater
tally the Of production It is expected, Of
course that in New Jersey those who have been in
the habit of taking crabs Of any size condition at
any time they discovered will protest against any
effort to curtail the catch.
ut is the same problem which confronted the oyster
industry of the State Every effort to prevent total
annihation met with serious obstacles and opposi-
ton"
Chief Bacon Of the Bureau of Shell Fisheries is gath
erng information and facts from other States and
from that state with regard to the crab upon which
he plans to base the draft OF bills for the preserva-
tion of this decacy.
What is true Of New Jersey is equally true Of Della
ware. Every Delawarean, and especially those men
who shape FISH and game laws, should awaken TO
the Importance of losing time In protecting the
crab in Delaware waters by reasonable legislation.
Unless that be done the crab industry. already
iously impaired by ruthless waste Of crab life will be
wholly destroyed Kent and Sussex county who
value the natural of their sections Of
State should be effectively insistent that such egis-
laon be enacted by our Legislature at its next
sion.

THE EVENING JOURNAL is mistaken when It
thinks that the Wilmington Morning News claims that

Maintaining Prosperity
in the United States
From the Washington Post.

The efforts Of the bankers of the
United States should be concentrated
in providing facilities for re-estab-
lishment of exchanges with foreign
countries.
The gram, cotton. provisions, and
other exports are commencing now to
move from our ports to foreign mar
kets, and the results of the sales of
these can be made the basis of the
new dispensation in the financial
operations with foreign countries.
These credits during the next few
months should be sufficient to liqui-
date matured and maturing indebted
ness Of this country to foreigners
and create balance that Europe
SHOULD pay to this country in gold,
if Europe can or will pay gold.
If Europe is no longer on a gold
basis, if Europe is no longer on a
metallic basis, if Europe is on a
paper basis, If Europe proposes to
buy our products, pay for them in
matured and maturing obligations Of
this country, overcome the sum total
of our export credits by sales here of
our securities and through Canadian
agencies or presentation OF legal ten
der notes and gold certificates draw
from this country large sums in gold,
our Treasury officials and our finan-
ciers should prepare themselves to
meet that situation.
Europe thirsts for gold. Europe
is hungry for both gold and silver.
Great Britain's attempt to place
India on a gold basis is disclosed as
a piece of consummate financial folly
when the present plight Of Europe
for even silver is now considered.
The United States must make no
mistake now as to the course it is
| to take in financial affairs. The re-
sponsibility rests on the Treasury
officials, the administration, the ban
kers of the United States.
The people of the United States
will not stand for an unsound, a tot
tefing, shaking, inhrm, insufficient
| inefficient, obsolete basis for financial
affairs, one that is unable to provide
the currency necessary to do business
upon.
The test. the supreme test. the only
true tes., that can be applied to any
/ financial system is upon the gold ba-
sis system today.
The interests Of the people, Of th'
entire people, are to be considered

4 WEAK TICKET.

THERE is little in the ticket nominated the Demo-
cratic primaries on Saturday that appeals TO the
voters IN this city. In fact. many lifelong Demo-
Gratis do not hesitate TO characterize il exceed
ingy weak ticket and that will arouse neither
terest nor enthusiasm in the present campaign ut is
predicted confidently that in of the splendid ad
mnistration Of county affairs that has been given by
the Republican party during the last two years the
Democratic county ticket will be sgnay defeated.
In years gone by the voters in Wilmington and the
rural sections Of New Castle county have suffered
much from the incompetency and dishonesty OF
Democratic officials that they are in mood to re-
store that party TO power.
That Democrats generally entertain little hope Of
carrying the county is shown by the fact that the
places the tickets to be had for the asking.
There few contests and those few engaged in
unimporant in their nature. In nearly all sec
tions of the county there was manifest disncna-
tion the part Of ofice-seeking Democrats to be
used sacrihcial offerings in November II the sit
uation had become much worse would have been
necessary for the Democratic County Committee to
have followed Lord Kitcheners example anH to have

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND IT'S SLATE.
THE Democratic State Convention will meet in Do

makers miscarry, it will do the following things;
Renominate Franklin Brockson, of Kent county for
Representative in Congress-
Renominate Charles A. Hastings, Of Sussex county,
for State Treasurer.
Renominate W. Poole Prettyman, of Sussex county,
for State Auditor.
Adopt a platform lauding the work Of the Wilson
administration; referring, doubt, in terms equally
laudatory to the part Salisbury has played In

party
There are Democrats who would like to see Con-
gressman Brockson defeated in his efforts to win

upon fundamental grounds but upon resentment grow
ing out OF the dispensaon Of patronage and has
been customary for years for the Democracy TO nomi
nate its Congressman for a second term, the prevail
ing opinion TO be that he will be able TO con
troll the Kent county and the convention
