we'll convinced that we can live
at peace with the British Empire
if only we have little sense, that
the alarmists could not induce me
to spend any time urging prepar-
ing against the British navy.
But when Mr.. Bryan announces
blandly that we shall uphold the
Monroe Doctrine against all COM
ers, and whe he advocates in the
same breath a naval policy that
would turn the fleet into a heap
Of rusty junk, it is clear that Mr..
Bryan is really guilty or urging
unpreparedness. He urges a pol
icy which may require force to
uphold it, but he will not face the
need of laying up the force with
which to uphold it. He really
wants the country to adopt a
course which it has not the means
for carrying through.
But Mr.. Bryan is not in a very
much worse position than, let US
say, the Hon. Augustus Gardner.
This agitator announced one night
that we must have a 'preponder-
ant" navy, a navy greater than
England's. 1t never seemed to oc-
cur to him that if we started fol-
lowing that will-'o-the-wisp, we
should have to build navy great
er than England, France and
Japan combined, together with a
merchant marine large enough to
carry our whole overseas trade.
We should have to fortify the Ca
madam border and the land from
tiers of Alaska, and before we got
through we should need a gigan-
tic army to man the Notifications.
1t did not occur to him either
that England would be worried by
our naval threats, and that she
and Japan would both have to

TOWARD REAL PREPAREDNESS

Walter Lippmann, in a recent
article published in the Metropol-
itan Magazine gives a splendid
argument for Real Prepared
ness" which is worthy of note by
every thoughtful citizen. Mr..
Lippmann urges that our 'pre-
paredness" extend to the field of
diplomacy, as we'll as to the de-
partment of war. Pertinent para
graphs follow:
Much of the talk about pre-
paredness seems to turn upon
questions like these: If we buy
guns and learn to shoot, are we
likely to stray into bad company
and run the risk of being shot? If
we don't buy guns, if, in fact, we
become gunshy, are we likely to
tempt somebody else into step
ping all over US? AS men answer
these questions, so they seem to
line up on the issue of prepared
ness The debate is almost en-
tirely over guns. Many pacifsts
say fatty that in opposing arma-
nent they are safeguarding the
peace, and members of the Nation
al Security League talk as if red
death and ruin would overtake us
by Christmas unless we are armed
to fight the bigger part of the
world.
"Yet surely if preparedness
means anything, it means that the
United States is to be made ready
to play a civilized part in the So
ciety of nations; it means that we
are trained to meet, not all con-
ceivable emergencies, but those
which are likely to confront us.
l personally am previously unpre-
pared to deal either with an
earthquake, a cyclone, or a me-
teor, but my defenselessness does
not keep me awake at night. When

slightly decreased the total enroll
ment in the public schools at the
beginning of the school year. Del
aware College opened the follow
ing week with over three hundred
students enrolled.
Much confusion was caused in
local postal circles in September
by the combining of the rural
routes in an effort to curtail the
expenses of the department. Rural
folk failed to receive their mail
regularly for weeks and final ad-
justment has not yet been made.
A new street was opened during
the month, to be known as Giles
pie avenue, running from Depot to
Elkton Roads. Concrete walks
have been laid on either side Of
the new street An election for post
master, to succeed J. w. Brown,
deceased, was the next excitement
to break the monotony of life in
Newark. All Democratic patrons
of the office were eligible voters.
| The election resulted in the sell
ection of Levi K. Bowen, who re-
ceived his appointment from Pres
ident Wilson, a few weeks ago.
Physical examination of all
| children enrolled in the schools
was introduced by the teachers,
who followed careful instructions
furnished by the State Board of
Education. The purpose of the
examination were merely to find if
trouble existed, rather than to
/ diagnose the trouble. 1t is be-
lieved much good has been done
by the reports mailed the parents
of pupils found to be below par in
some particular.
The first anniversary of the
Women's College was observed in
October, with appropriate exer-
cises. At the trustee meeting held
at Delaware College the week fol-
lowing, a gift of a half million to
that institution was announced,
the gift coming from an unknown
donor. The trustees are planning
to begin the erection of new
science hall, at the corner of Del
aware Avenue and Depot Road, as
soon as the weather permits.
Laurels came to the Newark
school in November, when the
trophy offered by Superintendent
Cross to the winner in the County
Spelling contest was won for the
local school by Miss Myrtle Wake

Because of the fact that the site
purchased over a year ago for a
federal bu | ding blocked the
scheme Of extension for Delaware
College, and interfered with the
architectural plan of both the col
lege and the government, a bill
making possible the exchange of
the land has been introduced in
Congress by Congressman Miller.
The year closed with a Com
munity Christmas tree for the

RECORD OF THE YEAR
entertainment worth
Continued from page J.

and provided entertainment worth
while for the entire community.
At the annual meeting of the
High School Alumni Association
held the first week in June, the
Association decided to make be-
ginning toward the furnishing
and equipping of a reading room,
in the high school, for the use of
the high school students. To date
the room has been papered, paint
ed, wired, fitted with curtains,
Yale lock on the door, etc. The
committee in charge has secured
subscriptions to sever al maya
zines-gifts of public-spirited cit
izens-placed book case and q
half dozen chairs. A reading
table has been purchased which
it is believed will be placed before
January third, when school is re-
sumed, after the Christmas holi-
day. Several evening meetings
are being planned for the book
loving public during this winter.
Commencement week at Della
ware College was marked by the
announcement of money to pur-
chase all the land lying between
Delaware College and the Wom-
ems College. Among distinguish
ed visitors at the commencement
was DR.. c. F. Thwing, president of
Western Reserve University.
Later in June the Red Men of
Delaware observed the first an
nual home coming day, with ap-
propriate exercises held at the
Red Mems Home. About five hum
dred visitors were entertained by
the reception committee.
The Summer School at Della
ware College, which opened late
in June, brought from all parts of
Delaware and adjoining districts
in Maryland, one hundred and
fifty students to Newark. These
remained for six weeks, adding
pleasantly to the social life of the
town.
Early in July fire was discover
ed in the stock house of the Cur
tbs and Bro Inc, paper mill. The
local fire company, assisted by
Wilmington companies played
upon the building, and kept the
flames from spreading to adjoin-
ing property.
During the summer the town
water service was extended to
Evansville. Carnival Week, under
the auspices of the Aetna Hose
Hook and Ladder company
brought thousands to the town,
and yielded the local company net
proceeds amounting to about
$2500. The company a week later
rendered valuable assistance at
the fire in the store of Joseph
Berger, adjoining that of John
Richards.
The Board of Education, at a
meeting held in August made a
decided advance when they voted
to add a fourth year to the course
in the High School, According to
q new ruling of the State Board
of Education, leading to a uni.
form course of instruction, al
pupils from outside districts were
required to pass an examination
before being admitted to the high
school. This action which it is

TO AVOID CATARRH OR BREAK UP
A COLD
Use HyOmei Simple Remedy That
Instantly Relieves

At the first symptom of catarrh such
as sniffles, fits of sneezing raising OF

choked-up feeling, surely take i'm
mediate steps to conquer the disease
Catarrh is not only distressing, I'M
clean land annoying, but serious all
ment
One of the easiest and simplest rem
edies to check catarrh and break up
cold is Hyomei. Just put few
drops of this antiseptic and healing
liquid into the small inhaler that
comes with every complete outfit, and
breathe it. This medicated aid i'm
mediately soothes the inflamed tissues
and effectively drives out the poison.
Just a few minutes use of this most
helpful remedy opens the stuffed air
passages, clears the head and throat
of the unclean discharges-you breathe

FOREIGN TRADE

Being far removed from the great in
dustrial centers of the country, as VIZ
of the Palouse country are, we little
realize the conditions there, and are
little inclined to think of the causes
and how they may affect us. The i'm
portance of healthy export business
to even such a community as ours is
suggested by the following comments
from the Harvester World.
There is lesson to be drawn
from temporary conditions in the Uni
ted States that should not be lost up
on an intelligent people.
THE clerk and the mechanic, the
merchant and the man in the building
trades, and the hundreds of thousands
of men and women who are out of en-
ployment or who feel the present
pinch of the times should be interest
ed in the causes that have led to the
unsatisfactory conditions of today.
at may not have meant much to
you in the past when you read on the
financial page of your daily paper a
formal notice in small type like the
following:
American exports of manufacture
ed and partly manufa goods for
the year 1913 total 81 1877 100000
yet the fact there stated signified
great deal to you and to your neigh
Dor
The profits of the American manu-
facturer do not average over ten per
cent. Then, over billion dollars of
this foreign money represented
amounts that had been previously paid
out in America for labor, raw mater
ials and freights. This item told you
that this vast sum was being brought
back to the United States to purchase
more labor and materials for anoth-
er years exports.
at does not matter much what your
business may be or where you may live
in the United States. you were bene-
ficially affected by the presence of this
foreign trade, and you took your
share of the general prosperity that
came with it.
"You may not be engaged in any
business which seems to have the re-
hottest connection with foreign trade, |
yet if that trade had no existence, you,
with hundreds of thousands of others, |
would have had less remuneratlve EN-
ployment, or, perhaps, no employment
whatever.
1.-The present suspension of our nor
NAL export trade we'll illustrates the
condition that would exist if that trade
were permanently destroyed"

Rapid Spread of Tobacco Habit.

The spread of the tobacco habit
throughout the world has been more
general than the spread of the coffee,
tea and sugar habits. 1t may be that
the people of the far East smoked a
tobacco thousands of years ago, but
Europe, and probably all the rest OF
the world, was introduced to tobacco
after the discovery of America. The
use of tobacco in its various forms
was universal among the natives OF
America from Hudson bay to Cape
Horn at the time of the coming of the
first Europeans. 1t was on the first
voyage of Columbus that two of his
sailors reported that they had seen ma
tives of the new-found world with fire.
