TIE srRY RARY. Trio.

From the Laurel Register
Nobody can properly object to any
member Of Congress needing his own
conscience and judgment In his
course upon public questions. In
fact little stronger and more fire.
Quent exercise of both conscience and
judgment would be a pleasing inno-
walton. But when a trio of Senators
processing allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party have made themselves
conspicuous in their persistent oppo-
sition to the important policies and
purposes Of the Administration from
the date of it's beginning. there is
strong ground for the suspicion that
something less admirable than either
conscience or Judgment dictates that

SCHOOL AL THE YEAR.


From the Clayton News
Several years ago the idea of school
or college all the year round would
have been hotly decEied; today IL is
an established fact I'm the Summer
school at Delaware College and other
educational Institutions. II is not
merely that the summer session has
been widely introduced, but the sum-
MGR work from being a purely volun-
tary and separate affair, has come in
some instances TO be an integral part
of the years work, according TO re-
ports received at the United States
bureau of Education, Washington.
Il is claimed by the advocates of the
all-year plan for public schools that
children are ont of danger and par
cnts happier when the children are
i'm school than on the street. Stats
tics show there are more accidents
10 children during July and August
than the rest of the year Children
as well as men and women are hap
bier and healthier when busy. II is
further urged that by taking advan-
tago of an optional summer term
children who are compelled TO leave
school at an early age will be able
10 advance further in the grades than
ar present Backward pupils viii
also have an opportunity TO make up
back work. I'm the case of the higher
institutions. particularly the techni-
cal schools. the new movement for

WET AND DRY.

From the Dover Index.
There is apparent CONSERVATION

lection OF the wet and dry issue into
the fall elections No doubt the ma
kCrs of our constitution Numbered i'm
not providing for submission of the
question to a vote every ten years
but they did not and subsequent scs-
sions of the Legislature have failed
10 amend the constitution i'm this re-
spect II is therefore likely that the
issue will be fought ou5 at this or
some coming election and as we have
10 pressing need OF legislation at the
coming session il may be as well TO
have the question shall intoxicating
liquors be sold i'm Delaware or not
decided IN the election of members Of
the Legislature In both parties the
radicals of the two sides of the ques-
ton are preparing for this fight and
il had lust as we'll be recognized and
faced In each Legislative District
where the "drys" have q majority dry
candidates of both parties will be
nominated and where the ''wets' con-
troi wet candidates will be nominated.
Then will come the fight as TO which
Of the candidates is the least objec-
tionablo to the defeated elemen; and
possibly candidates independent of
the Old parties may be put i'm the
field A mix-up is imminent but still
the fight can be made aud the ques-
ton settled and perhaps the state
will not suffer because members of
the Legislature are not chosen for
their fitness for making laws alone.
The fact is that this has not often
been the test in the past and as we
have observed law making is not so
important as we really need no great
plumber of new laws or changes in
our old ones.
