Twenty-four weeks ago there was
transmitted to the Minister for For
eign Affairs at Berlin Secretary
Lansings note of reminder to the I'M
perial Government, brushing aside the
false pleas set up in defense of the
murder of the Lusitanias American
passengers and very earnestly and
very solemnly" renewing the assur-
ance Of May Is that the Government
of the United States would not omit
any word or any act necessary to
the performance of it's sacred duty of
maintaining the rights of the United
States and its citizens, and OF safe
guarding their free exercise and en-
joyment.
It is we'll to remember that these
words of reiterated assertion, pledg-
ing our Government to acts Of asser-
ton if necessary, reached the Ger
man Government twenty-four weeks
ago today.
Such is the chronology and such
we're the words. Where are the re-
suits? Where is the disavowal? ?
Where is the reparation? Is even
the memory Of this unprecedented
crime OF twenty-nine weeks ago
wearing smooth to effacement. to the
state of placid acceptance and tran
gull acquiescence on our part by the
attrition of time and the slow pro-
cess of diplomatic evasion?
II is well to remember that with
out national shame there can be no
such thing as a permanent deadlock
over the Lusitania.

LOw.n0MN JOURNALISM.

THOSE Wilmington business men and their wives
who composed that excursion party that went to
New York Friday and returned to Wilmington last
evening have good feel ncensed by the treat
ment they received from New York and Philadelphia
newspapers
Il is a sad commentary upon those newspapers that
even babe in the arms, taken the trip by devoted
mother was not immune from senseless and heartloss
comment
II those who composed the party had been wastrels
and drunkards who had built up themselves reputa
lions for prodigacy and nagrant public disregard
Of the social conventions, the treatment accorded to
them might have been justified That however was
not the case. The in the party we're substantial
business men of-our city The women who accom-
panied them their wives. who possess and are
entitled to the respect Of the community in which they
live.
The excursonists left their homes decorously they
went to the station decorously; they proceeded to
New York decorously; they spent their time there
1ecorously, and they returned homo docorously
In short there was every element in the situation TO
cali for decent treatment the hands OF tho news
papers. And yet there has been a pleasure
party from Wilmington, matter what It's purposes or
conduct may have been, that has been compelled TO en-
aure the annoyances insults to which the party un
der discussion has been subjected
Let us assume that the dancing class 10 which these
Wimingtonians belonged had small balance in ts
treasury. Let that this balance was placed
70 the hanus OF one OF its members. broker for
vestment Let that the investment increased
tenfod in value Let assume that il was decided to
spend that money on trip to New York with two
chartered Pullman features OF the Journey
After assuming those things let inquire whose bust
ness long the party did nothing TO outrage
the social conventions? The money and the time be-
longed TO the class members; New York city prides
Itself upon its facilities for supplying diversion to all
who may 90 there TO seek IT, it bids constantly for
outside recognition and patronage, and yet when
party Of Wilmington business men and their wives goes
there it is made the target for shafts Of ridicue
shot by perverted section of the press that does not
hold even babe in the arms sacred from insulting
comment.
The entire incident is reflection not upon the
members of the Wilmington party but upon those New
York and Philadelphia newspapers which descended to
such low level in the treatment Of an innocent pleas
ure-seekng pilgrimage. They are being condemned on
all sides by fairminded persons who have followed
the course Of that outrageous treatment and felt y
pathy for It's helpless victims.

VHOOSANDS OF Delawareans sympathize beartiv

In the following utterance relative TO the Wson-Mc

that was defeated at the last session OF Congress- bv
niibuster Of Republican and Democratic Senator's:
Il am opposed TO this bill II is nexpedient untme
ly unnecessary dangerous contrary to the funda
mental principles Of government The only action
needed to rehabilitate the American merchant marine
is to defeat this measure the marine laws that
we're statute books prior TO 1876 providing for
preferential duties goods carried in American hot
toms, and change commercial treaties with a num-
Der OF foreign nations. which can do by giving a
years notice pay subsidy where and when neces-
sary and give the preference to ships in car
rying the mails, other maritime nations do The
business OF government is to govern not primarily

INTO competition with its own citizens
"The engaging of government in private business is
iustfable and right when the enterprise can be better
conducted by the for the benefit OF all OF
It's citizens than it be conducted by private enter
prise and in conditions of emergency The entering
Of the into the shipping business at this
time be justified on either hypothesis and dur
Ing the continuance Of the European it will en-

NO MORE HANGTNGS.
low Hill Messenger.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
II is to be hoped that Worcester
county will not have another llGnging
for mant years. We trust that people
will so conduct themselves that there
will be no need Of one.
1t is far better, however, that Frank
Grano-or Stumpo. should have had
lawful trial and conviction and that
his death has been claimed in lawful
manner than if in hot blood Judge
Lynch should have had his way on the
day of the murder of the Robinsons
and Redden.
We are very thankful that this stain
has been spared Worcester county,
and it speaks well for our people that
as soon as the first wave OF passion
had passed over them they were glad
that the murderer had been taken to
a place of safety and the law allowed
TO take it's course.
We think the coming Legislature
should enact a law requiring all hang
ings TO take place in the Maryland
Penitentiary. and to be witnessed by
the sheriff and other officials OF the
county in which the crime was COM
mitted as a guarantee to the people Of
that county that the law is complied
with.

TwentY-nine Weeks After
(From the New York SUM.

IL Is twenty-nine weeks today
since the country was stirred to un-
paralleled indignation by the news of
the murderous and premeditated at
tack on the Lusitania. One hundred
and ten American lives we're lost by
that savage departure from the laws
of civilized warfare. These one hun
dred and ten Americans had been
officially warned by the German Gov
ernment that they we're exercising at
their personal risk their indisputable
rights as neutrals and non-com-
batants They sailed under the guar
antee Of a citizenship and a flag which
failed to safeguard them from a
cowardly assassin of the undersea.
II is well to remember that this
foul crime was committed twenty
nine weeks ago.
Twenty-eight weeks ago today the
Government at Washington notified
Germany, with the full approval of
every loyal American, that II could
not admit that such a warning should
operate as in any degree an abbre-
Walton OF the rights Of American
citizens bound on lawful errands as
passengers of merchant ships of
belligerent nationality; and that we
should hold the Imperial Government
to a strict accountability for any
infringement of those rights, inten-
tional or accidental.
II is well to remember that the
date OF this prompt and firmly ex-
pressed notification was twenty-eight
weeks ago.

And fill the earth with woe

Their music softly pealed;
Still myriads die midst the battle cry,
And every life's a battlefield.
The nations have formed a murderous

And there is no brotherhood Of man.
On every shore where the glad day

Christmas songs? Nay widows

GOOD will to men," the angels sang,
Yet the time has never been
When the demon hate sealed the fate
OF so many innocent men.
The sword again has slipped the

Once fertile fields arc pyres of death,
We reflect, two thousand years,
OF history written in blood and tearsl

Men killed the Prince OF Peace;
And nations war midst blood and FIRE.

A GOOD SIGN.
rom the Elkton WING.

From the ElktOn Whig.
The Talbot county grand Jury, at
its recent session. brought in two in
dictments under the Corrupt Practices
Act, charging violations OF the law in
the recent election. Without any
knowledge Of. or comment on, the mer-
its of the indictments. the very fact
hat they have been brought is a hope
ful sign. 1t has become an entirely
too prevalent opinion in political cir
cles that Corrupt Practices Act Is a
dead one" and that no action is ever
likely to be taken on its infractions.
IL will be helpful to give this idea a
good jarring-to let it be known that
live grand juries propose to see that
the law is enforced.
