Despite efforts to drum up a large

The call had gone out all over the

was indicative of the general apathy
among the Democrats throughout the
county, and a sorry showing was
made.
State Chairman Thomas F. Bayard

Wilmington to attend the "big Sus-

pointed at the small turnout. Many
persons remarked that the Republi-

Keeping time with the strains of
martial music and swinging with
rythm that would have been a credit
to an experienced military man, be-
tween seven and eight thousand
school children of this city paraded
over the principal streets yesterday
afternoon. 1t was the second par
ade of the "Old Home Week" celebra-
tion, and while Wilmington was pre-
pared to see an elaborate demon
stratiOn, the pageant was in a high
class by itself. Never before had
the citizens witnessed such a parade
of children. II was complete and
colorful and full of interest in every
way. While the small tots are al
ways anxious to parade, they showed
yesterday that they could attain high
proficiency in drilling. This was
especially true OF the scholars OF the
Wilmington High School. who had
boen drilled by Captain c. NJ. Dillon.
clerk OF City Council The students
of the Howard High School (colored)
also displayed a skill in drilling that
was credit to them. The parade
was in charge of Chief Marshal
Thomas F. O'Donnell, member of the
Board of Education from the Tenth
ward
Sidewalks along the route of the
parade were thronged with the
mothers, fathers and relatives Of the
little tots, and from all sides could
be heard the shouts of the parents
and youngsters greeting each other.
The children dressed in their best
clothes presented grand spectacle,
and the white dresses or shirts with
the added touch Of colcrs OF their
schools around their waists or across
the breasts Of the school pupils made
a decidedly attractive appearance.
Many a mother, in the pride at seeing
her little one in line, forgot the trouble.
perhaps the hcartachc or sacrifice that
had attended the preparing of her child
pronerly for the pageant.
The parade started promptly at 2
o'clock, and from then until nearly four
o'clock the little ones marched over the
streets. The parade was reviewed at
the grandstand by Mayor Harrison w.
Howell, Colonel Weller F. Stover. chair
man of the executive committee, and
Clifford j. Scott, superintendent OF
schools. As the various school children
reached the street before the reviewing
stand they salutcd Mayor Howell The
scholars of tho Howard School raised
their hands to their hats as they passed.
The scholars of No. ? School, wearing
dark blue and white ribbons, createdmuch
applause when a large May pole, carried
by small boy, came'to halt before the
stand. Then a dozen youngsters holding
on to ribbons danced around the pole.
Following the dance the scholars sang
"America" while they stood with un-
covered heads and the entire audience in
the grandstand arose and remained
standing until the hymn was completed.
Chief Marshal O'Donnell marched di.
rectly in back of the platoon of police
headed by Sergeant Tucker. Following
Mr.. O'Donnell marched his aides, Robert
Weir and William Humphrey, students
of the High School. The scholars of the
High School came next and their appear
ance created much applause.

OUTLINES
What IS EXPECTED
Of MEN WHO Hold
LICENSES

Chief Justice Pennewill. in General
Sessions Court this morning. read an
Interpretation OF the state liquor IL
cense laws as representing the opin-
ion Of the court The judges made
some suggestions in respect TO the
observance OF the law by all licensed
dealers.
Chief Justice Pennewill remarked
that the screen law Is not being fully
complied with. that selling liquors to
intoxicated persons is too common
ana ought to be stopped and that
even the presence OF minors in sa-
looms is unlawful. In explaining the
medium of a disorderly house under
the law, the court remarked that the
playing OF cards, pool or any other
game for money In saloons could
have the same effect against the H.
cense az the penalty fof pcfmittini
disordorly persons 10 congregate IN
any saloon The court also pointed
out that a saloon rs not the proper
place for music and that the signing
OF two license applications at the
same term by one person and the
maintenance of secret entrances and
private rooms were never contem-
plated by the law licensing saloons.
The court remarked that some deal
ers are not so particular in the oh
servance OF the law, according to
complaints made. by somh per-
sons the opinion of the court was re-
garded as a caution to some dealers.
The courts opinion Is as follows
I'VE take this opportunity Of max
ing some suggestions in respect 10
the observance of the law by licensed
liquor dealers in this county and
particularly in this city.
"When the court grants a license
for the sale of intoxicating liquor IL
is done with the belief that the IL
censee is a proper person to conduct
the business. and that the privilege
will not be abused. While the court
are convinced that very many deal
ers in this county observe the law
and honestly endeavor TO maintain
places free from disorder and other
improper c0nditiops. complaints have
been made that some are not so par
ticular, and either violate the law

evade il. A liconsee who either vio-
lates or evades the law is not prop
er person to sell intoxicating liquor
and It is for the benefit and prOtec-
ton, moi only of the public, but OF
honest and law abiding licensees,
that such persons should not en-
gage in the business.
I'VE think II proper to call atten-
ton to certain requirements of the
law which we fear are not fully COM
piled with by some dealers, and TO
