PROCEEDINGS OF
THE CITY COUNCIL

Mayor West was absent Tuesday
evening and Chairman E. T. Peck pre-
sided.
The application of Councilman
>Younie for a permit to erect a frame
building covered with sheet iron with
in the fire limits was denied.
To Save Taxes.
There is a damage case pending
against the city for injuries claimed
to have been sustained by Lars Pet
erson by falling on a defective side
walk, and the matter was reviewed to
see if the city were in a position to
make an effective defense. Reports
indicated that they are, but the coun-
Gil appointed the law and order CON-
mittee to canvass the subject to see
If additional witnesses might be
found The councilmen are convinced
that it is their duty to put up Wig
orous defense and protect the tax
payers. Bond, Davis and Lacour are
the committee.
Need Another Sprinkler.
Councilman Bond advised buying
another sprinkler so it can be shipped
from the factory with spring ship
ments and save freight charges. He
said it had proven very unsatisfact-
ory to use one sprinkler for two shifts
one of which fills the night. The mat
ter was left to a committee to invest
igate. There was some talk of Great
ing sprinkling districts and this will
be considered at the next meeting.
No reason was assigned in the meet
ing why sprinkler operated at night
was not satisfactory, but some of the
councilmen claim that the man who
works at night does not get results,
and the water company do not like
to have to furnish the water during
the night. A sprinkler costs from
$240 to $400 and freight, and the
council is up to the question of find
ing night man who will get results,
get the water company to furnish the
water at night or invest more money
and operate by day only. It all comes
back to the subject of which way to
save the taxpayers.
The clerk was instructed to ask
the Short Line not to turn off their
electric light at the south end of the
depot until after the one o'clock train
goes south.

THE FLAG

The Flag-what it has stood for
in the past, we all know. Even
though accused of sentiment, most
of all look upon it, yet with a feel
ing Of awe and reverence. Espec-
tally is this true of those who have
seen it unfurled at sea or abroad.
Drenched in history, its meaning
still inspires. Materialism and the
sordid duties of the day may blind
for a time but the Flag is still
there
Reverence for this symbol of
Right and Opportunity for Service
should be instilled in the minds of
every child. Talk as you will
sentiment for The Flag in the boy
of today will make for the good
citizen Of tomorrow. Thepossibil-
i ties of the Flag and what it shall
stand for in days to come is our
chief concern. Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior, address
ing his clerks on Memorial Day,
personified the Flag and caused it
to speak words, strikingly Ameri-
can. Speaking thus for the Flag,
he said:
"The wOrk that We do is the maxi
ing Of the real flag. l am but ats
shodoac. l am ,yhateuer y0u make
me, nothing more. | am yom be-
lief an yourself, yOW dream of
achat a people may become. Some
times 1 am strong with pride, When
men do an honest work, fitting the
rails together truly. Sometimes l
droop, for then purpose has gone
from me, and cynically / play the
coward. But alaoays l am all that
yOu hope to be and hare the cOur-
age to try for. l am song and fear,
struggle and panic, and ennobling
hope. / am the days Work of the
Weakest man, and the largest

and street saceep, cook, counselor
and cterk. l am the battle of yes
terdoy and the mistake of tomor-

ATTENTION

At the request of Mayor Hossln-
ger. we call attention to the visit of
the Chamber Of Commerce tomor-
row. The party according to
schedule sent out is due to arrive
at 1915. All who possibly can are
asked to meet them. The cars will
assemble at Lumbrook at 10 0 clock
Mayor Hossinger and Council will
be on hand to extend to them wei
come. The party will then be es-
corted through town.
Newark, while glad to welcome
the Chamber of Commerce, can
not measure up to her usual hospi-
tality due to the condition of our
streets. No town on the Peninsula
has made such extensive improve
ments during the past year. In
order to provide for our regular
traffic Contractor ClaringbOld has
been given all the right of way
possible.
1t is hoped, however, that repre-
sentatives of the College, mer-
chants and manufacturing plants
will be on hand tomorrow to give
the glad hand. A detailed account
of the schedule appears in another
column.

Lectures And Talks
At Summer School

In order to make the cOnvocation
exercises of the Summer School at
Delaware College of as great bene-
fit as possible to the students of the
school series of short talks by in
structors in the school have been
arranged. These talks will deal
with questions of interest at the
present time, and it is hoped that
they will also give the students
ideas which they can profitably
transmit to their pupils. On Mon
day morning, DR.. w. o. Sypherd
explained the purpose of library
and how to get the most benefit
from books. He urged the stu
dents to dip into as many books as
possible in the Delaware College
Library, so that they might carry
away from the Summer School
more than they get from their text
books. On Tuesday morning DR..
Vaughn urged upon the students
the necessity of keeping up with
what is going on at the present
time. He said that classes in Cur
rent Topics" should be formed in
every school to study what is 60
ing on around us. "It is Of more
Importance to a boy or girl, f" the
speaker said, "that he or she know
Of Woodrow Wilson and what he is
doing than that he or she know of
Rameses Ii and what he did" On
Wednesday Professor E. Conover
spoke on "The Fear of Learning
too Much. " He deplored the fact
that many people are anxious to
study only such things as will give

In the case Of candy and cigars, |
can see no more reason for their
sale on Sunday than for the sale OF
meat or bread or gloves.
In talking with young man OF
good habits and good moral prin-
ciples in reference to the objection
to the candy store being open on
Sunday he said, "What harm does
it do to buy cigar or some candy
on Sunday / replied that it is
merely step toward the opening
of all places of business on the Sab
bath and | asked him how he would
like it if he had to work seven days
every week instead Of only 5 IL as
he was now working. His thought
less and hasty reply was he would
like it if he got seven days pay.
He Withdrew that statement, how
ever. on reflection because he rec
ognized that after things became
adjusted to the Sunday opening
the seven days pay would not
amount to any more than the pre-
sent pay for 3 IL days. 1t is to
the interest Of the working man,
both physically and morally, that
places of business should be closed
on Sunday.
Aside from this our town is a
college town and the eyes of all
the people Of the State are focused
upon this town and we become to a
certain extent guardians of the
habits and morals of the sons and
daughters who are committed to
our keeping. 1t becomes us to have
regard to the wishes and 'expecta-
tions of the parents who send them
here.
Yours for a clean town, mate
rally and morally,

Serious Accident Averted

Luck is the only word that can
describe the auto accident near
Newark on Monday evening. Will
lam Stiltz, driving car belonging
to the Fader Garage and j. p.
Armstrong ran together near the
Huber track on Monday evening
about 6 o'clock. A wheel was torn
off the Armstrong car, throwing
the machine against a cement
abutment. Fortunately neither Of
the drivers We're hurt. c. B. Evans

bath. The Sabbath thus desecrated
nullifies the efforts of the pulpit to
persuade men to become Chris
tians. | have with deep sorrow OBJ
served the persistent attempts on
the part of certain storekeepers in
bur town to keep their places Of
business open on the Sabbath in
violation Of the law, and in de-
fiance of the righteous sentiment of
the community, thus giving proof
that they put their pecuniary in
terests above the deliverances Of
God and the State. Another con-
sideration makes it imperative that
we should insist on a holy Sabbath.
Newark is peculiar in this respect
it is a college town, and therefore
belongs to the entire State. We
ought to make our town a safe
place for the boys and girls who
come from different parts Of Della
ware to secure an education in our
college. We citizens are not doing
our duty to them, if we permit the
Sabbath to be desecrated. We can
not hope to receive the confidence
Of parents, if we do not safeguard
their children against the evils fol-
lowing in the wake of a violation
of the fourth commandment. 1t is
a soruce of regret to me that it was
necessary for the Law and Order
Society to step in and bring the
law breakers to terms. Repeated
warnings apparently had no effect
on them. If they are wise they
will not need another word.

Editor of The Post :

Editor of The Post:
In reply to your request for a
word from me in reference to the
work Of the Law and Order Society
in closing places of business on the
Sabbath, | wish to say that in my
opinion there should be no Law
and Order Society or any place for
1t, If the government was properly
conducted. The people make laws
and appoint sufficient officers to en-
force them. The people pay to
have the laws made ana the people
pay to have them enforced. But
there is disposition on the part of
some to violate certain laws for
their own gain as long as they can
evade the law And there is a neg
lect of duty OH the part Of those
upon whom the enforcement of the
law depends. This condition has
given rise to the necessity of the
creation of a society with power to
enforce the law. But this necessity
has arisen only because there are
some who defy the law and the
proper officials are not active.
Should one man shoot another
down on the street, neither you, nor
|, nor the Law and Order Society
would be called upon to go to the
expense Of seeing that the law
against murder was enforced. The
demand would be let the claw
take its course, and if the claw
did not get busy" somebody in au-
thority would be called upon to ex-
plain the reason why. If some one
should drive thru town at excessive
speed, and injure some one, or
wreck some ones carriage, neither
you, nor |, nor the Law and Order
Society would be called upon to go
down into our pocket to furnish the
money and officers to Sc that the
law is executed. There is some one
whose duty it is to attend to the
matter.
| have heard it said during a
campaign for election, by persons
who were assuring the voter that
certain man would be a safe man
to vote for because as an officer he
would wink at certain violations Of
the law.
In reference to the present agita-
ton we all recognize the fact that
we need a day of rest That is writ
ten IN the law of nature as well as
proclaimed by the Word of God. 1t
is also well known that every firm.
corporation, or concern that keeps
open on Sunday lessons the number
of people who can have day of
rest. The laws against Sabbath
work We're made great MANY
years ago when conditions of life
were very different. It is uues-
ton whether the laws would have
exactly the same form if enacted
today; yet every effort would be
made to conserve the right of every
man to day of rest, and only such |
things would be considered by CON- |
non consent as absolutely neces-
'ary, would be allowed by law.
| think the Law and Order So
.iety makes distinction. and does
lot proceed against those who are
in that which has seemed
o become necessity. !

WAR BARS EXPECTATION
BY THE OYSTER DEALERS
Long Island Product, Which Is Usu-
ally Sent Abroad, Must Find
Domestic Market.

NEW YORK. August 3l.-The finest
oysters grown along the Long Island
shores. which have always been held
for European and steamship trade. will
this season be put on the domestic
market, according to growers today,
who predicted that the crop would be
the biggest In the history of the couu-
try, and that prices would be low.
For many years Europe has taken the
finest oysters produced by this country.
There are numerous beds along tho
Long Island shores that have produced
oysters for the European market ex-
clusfvely, but now the owners are I'M
able to make shipments and these oys-
tiers must be sold in the home markets.
Comparatively few of the oysters have
been supplied to the large hotels and
restaurants of this country. The prices
have always been high in this country
Aside from this fact. the oyster grow
ers of Long Island reported Yesterday
that never before have the beds been
in such fine condition, and even if there
had been no war the crop was expected
to be the largest In the history of the
trade.
