of cavalry forming part of the Brit

liant, soldiers. and every loyal British
heart is proud of them Not only
the Kings househould, but yours.
ours. everybody's should have its life
guards. The need of them is es-
pecially great when the greatest foes
of life, diseases. find allies in the
very elements as colds, influenza, ca
tarrh. the grip. and pneumonia do in
the stormy month of March. The
best way that we know of to guard
against these diseases Is to strength
en- the system with Hoods Sarsa-
narilla-the greatest of all life
guards. II removes the conditions
in which these diseases make their
most successful attack, gives vigor
and tone 10 all the vital organs and
functions. and imparts a genial
warmth TO the blood. Remember the
weaker the system the greater the, ,ex-
ncsure TO disease. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the system strong.

NOT coon FOR THE COLLEGE.

XAI AsHINGToN COLLEGE, in chestertown Md. has
w not gained anything in public respect by rea-
son OF the incidents leading up the resignation Of
Professor r. F. Hacker. instructor in French and
German. While it may be true that the professor
has not always displayed tact in dealing with the stu
dents il is equally true that many Of the students
have conducted themselves outrageously toward him
1t is not forgotten that several weeks ago. when he
attempted to stop hazing, large body Of the stu
dents snow-bsled him mercilessly AS many of then,
as could be identified, forty-two in number were SEN
fenced to serve a two-weeks' campus. BY permitting
the professor to and the rngeaders of the hood
lum elements among the students to remain. the trns
tees seemingly have put premium upon conduct that
should not be tolerated in any wel-administered edu
cational institution.

GREECE AND ITS NAVY.

q REECE once the most powerful nation on EARTH
~ is manifestng desire to regain some measure
OF national prestige. Her Minister of Marine has as
serted that she is prepared at all costs to maintain
the supremacy OF the seas by her in the recent
Balkan war
The Chamber Of Deputies has been informed that
the naval programme includes three battleships of the
dreadnough type. Of which already is under con-
strucon; three armored cruisers and several smaller
warcraft
Such naval activity the part OF Greece will not
cause any dsquietude among the great Powers of Eu
rope, but the Turks and others in southeastern Eu-
rope no doubt Will view it with or less apre-
hension. Through experience with Great Britain and
other maritime nations they have learned what an i'm
portant part sea power plays in eombats between ma
tons which have and nayigable streams to de-

Editorial Opinion
THE RACE OF IOB.SEEKERs.

THE RACE OF J0B-SEEKERS.
From the Dover Index.
If it is correct as reported, that
when Senator Salisbury was assigned
to preside over the Senate on Mon
day, he said: 1T gives me a day off
from the race Of job-seekers, and
that is worth doing anything for.
Even bargain hunting is a relief
II is far from fiattering to the large
delegation that journeyed to Wash
ington last week in the interest of
Mr.. Alfred Raughley. The race Of
iob-seekers is no doubt a treless,
restless, persistent, nagging, wearing,
frazzling race, but it is an old one,
If not a time-honored one, and poll
tician who spends twenty-five years
in the race himself, and is at last re-
warded with the senatorial job,
should sympathize with the Job
seekers" Those same "job-seekers"
boosted him on to his job, and it is
not unnatural that they expect him
to lend them a hand up now. We
sympathize with the "job-seekers"
and the official job-getter, but we
hope the latter will be a little more
sympathetic and graceful. To pre-
fer bargain-hunting to the visits and
requests of ones constituents is about
the last gasp of a distracted place
hunter. Delaware is a small State,
and her people who are worth while
are pretty busy at home. We hear
of few of them seeking jobs for them
selves or others. Mr. Raughley's sue
cess is not inspiring and encourage
ing. Nevertheless, it is a laudable
ambition to serve ones country, and
so long as federal offices are con-
sdered patronage and party spoils,
Senators and Congressman may ex-
pect their friends and supporters to
not only hunt but expect Jobs" at
their hands. A year is not so long
a time as to make one forget promises
and favors. A little over a year
ago the corridors of the State House
rang with shouts and joy. Delaware
had elected a Senator who was said
to be a very twin brother of President
Wilson in favor, and who could get
10000 federal offices for Delaware
Democrats. How a short year has
changed it all. Now even bargain
hunting is preferable to a day of this
despised race of job-seekers."

STORE GIRLS AND SPELLING.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir. A short lime ago l had &c
casion to purchase a small mirror Tor
my daughters dressing table. See
ing what / wanted in the window OF
one of our downtown stores,
stepped in and made my bargain.
There seemed to be considerable de-
lay in getting my package and
change. Looking toward the end OF
the store, / noticed three or four Of
the girls. with heads close together,
apparently in earnest consultation
Another girl finally brought me my
package, change and sales-slip. Hav-
ing a mans natural curiosity, and for
the sake of passing a little pleasantly,
l. asked this young lady what was
the cause Of all that talk and excite
ment. "Oh," said she, those girls
didn't know how to spell IT, and they
had to call me over"
Looking at the sales-slip, 1t read:
One mirrow," etc
Now leave il to you and your read
ers as to whether this should be
taken as joke or rather as sad
commentary. upon the educational
limitations of some Of the sales girls
in the average store.
On another occasion a package OF
goods that had bought to be left
at The toll gate to be called for"
came addressed to "The tool gate; "
but in this case think it was a
young man that committed the crime.
Should not spelling classes be formed
in some OF our stores?
Yours truly.

CRECELIUS
ACT STANDS
Lawyers at Capital Believe Su-
preme Court Will Sustain
Kentucky Law.

Washington, June 10.-A majority
of lawyers here reading the decision
j of Mr.. Justice Holmes in the Ken.
lucky Harvester Trust cases, believe
the court will uphold the Crecelius
tobacco pooling act as constitutional.
This is the only remaining important
Kentucky case before the court and
may be decided next week.
They contend that the following
extract from the Harvester decision
indicates clearly that the pooling act
not only will be upheld by the court
in this instance, but that the grow
ers have nothing to fear under the
new antitrust bills recently passed
by the house.
But, if business is to go on, men
must unite to do it and must sell
their wares. To compel t h m to
guess, under peril of indictment,
what a community would have given
for them if the continually changing
conditions were other than they were
to an uncertain extent; TO divine
prophetically what the reaction of
only partially determinate facts
would be upon the imagination and
desires of purchasers, is to exact
gifts mankind does not possess.
These reasoners say further that.
in upholding the price-fxing of the
Harvester Trust, the court fore
shadows similar ruling in the Col
Inns case affecting the price-fxing of
tobacco by farmers under the Gre
celius law.
Many, however, who think to the
contrary, say the court will smash
the pooling act and indicate to the
next Legislature that it must enact
laws affecting business combinations
and farmers that will not be open to
the charge of discrimination.

WHEAT CROP

farmers have already finished and
the crop will practically all be cut

Mr.. r. F. Rives, at one time the
largest wheat grower in the county,
reports his present crop the best in
quality he has ever raised. On the
farm of one of his sons. X. II. Rives,
he says the meshes contain from
five TO nine grains and some as high
as eleven grains. This is remarkable,
as three grains is considered good
yield. All of the farmers report un.
