IT is only fair to state that the present
Town Council of Milford has enforced
the laws better, and got better results
from their enforcement, than any Of its
predecessors in the past ten years
Drunkenness and gambling, two twins
which travel together, have been bounded
to the wall, and those who indulge in
that kind of dissipation have been made
to pay liberal fines or undergo imprison-
ment The illegal dealers in liquor have
been reigned up with a startling curb and
many of them have sought cover, or been
lodged in the workhouse to undergo re-
straint and at the same time work at
contract labor. This is the civic moral
side of their work but it is not all, for
the street Improvements which have been
made during the present year, are of
character which are a credit to the town.

any better than the editor of the Every

alcohol upon the human mind and body.

is evil and evil only?
The invitation is extended We trust

No structure can be stronger than its
foundation nor can it last longer. When
the foundation falls, wreck and ruin
must follow. American prosperity, un-
der Republican rule, was founded upon
protection of American labor and assur-
ance of permanent, profitable employ
ment. When the Democratic admins
tration tore at that foundation, the struct-
ure fell and millions of American work.
men joined the breadlines. A much
smaller and incomplete prosperity has
been founded upon the European war,
which shut out foreign products and
created a new demand for our own.
Such foundation is as unsafe as it is
uncertain. Remove the foundation and
the already dilapidated American pros
perity will instantly fall The foolish
man in the parable, who built his house
upon the sand, was wise, indeed, COM
pared with that pretended statesman who
is content to let American industry de-
pend upon continuation of wari in Europe.

THE meeting of citizens at Armory
Hall in Milford last Saturday afternoon
was attended by about seventy persons in
all, and there was a desire to learn Just
what was necessary to get the du Pont
Highway to come through or by Milford
Those who addressed the meeting made
it clear that there is only one thing to be
done and that is to deliver to General
du Pont deeds for the right of way from
Georgetown to Milford, 1t is about GER

The following suggestion comes from
Pennsylvania woman, and it is well
worth considering: intact, here in Della
ware practice has grown up through
Sunday visiting which resembles the plan
very much, by the people making Sun
day visits. The merit of this plan will
create neighborhood spirit of friendli-
ness which would make pleasant rela-
tions especially with those residing in
the country. The lady says:
1--WE live in the country where there
is plenty of work and little social life.
enjoy keeping house and cooking, but
long occasionally to sit down to a meal
that someone else has prepared. We
have two neighbors living near by. Why
not exchange meals? l talked to NV
neighbors they were ready to try the
plan, which works admirably. One
family entertains the other two families
each week at supper. We had some
difficulty in getting our men to fall in
with the plan;. but they decided they
would rather go along than eat a cold
lunch at home, and now enjoy the plan. -
1t is true that there has been too much
isolation among the people on farms in
the past, and that they have not got the
best from their opportunities through
social visiting and intercourse. Too
much time and consideration has been
given to the many results to be gotten,
and not enough to the things which
make life pleasanter for the women, the
boys and the entire family, and which
cost little if anything other than the
effort on the part of the people them- 1
selves. This plan of the lady from Penn
sylvania, is one of the many means to |
make everybody better satisfied with the
farm. Try it out in some of the districts
in Delaware, and see how it works for
few months, and let some observant man
or woman tell just how it has worked
through the columns of the local paper.

IT would be well for all publishers of
weekly newspapers to conform to the
suggestions which follow, and adopt them
as his own as a basis for conducting bust
ness. The writer in the Iriquois Chief
of South Dakota, says:
Some of the newspaper boys can't
be happy unless they have troubles. To
worry about whether to sell their legiti-
mate stock in trade for cash, is pushing
the limit. No business man in other
lines would allow such a proposition to
cause him to lose sleep and we know one
newspaper man that the problem will not
bother for a single instant. The adver-
tising columns of this newspaper are open
to any and every legitimate proposition
providing those desiring the advertising
pay the price. The editorial columns be-
long exclusively to the editor and are not
for sale at any price. The advertising
columns are our stock in trade and we
sell this space to gain a livelihood, the
same as a merchant sells the goods from |
his shelves to anyone who may apply, |
the same as the banker takes a deposit |
without inquiring where the depositor |
got the money, and the same as the prop |
erty owner rents his building to any ap-
plicant who planks down the coin. Our /
bitterest political opponent can buy our
space and we will express
our opinion of him in our editorial col
umns whenever we see fit and that opin-
ion will not be warped. biased or changed
by any transaction he may have with the
business end of the shop"
Here is a creed worth while for every
of a weekly paper to stand upon.
It is ours.

THE Bryan men of the country are re-
covering from their amazement over their
idols retirement from the Cabinet; and
they are beginning to be, using the
Presidents phrase, vocal in spots. -
From Massena, Iowa, T. S. Fenlon writes
to the Des Moines Register and Leader
in fulsome praise of the Peerless Leader.
We staunch old friends of the Nebras-
KAN" he says, ." had every reason to
fail in our support of the President. We
are not backing up the President, for we
know he is wrong. He admitted it him
self june 9th when he got cold feet, and
changed and softened the note BRYAN re-
fused to join him in. \ Mr.. Wilson
will not have the nerve to face broken
party. We will leave him where we left
Cleveland. The so-called leaders
of the Democratic party are not running
things. They are a gang of anti-Brvan
monkeys, and we are ready to sit on
them for their slander and blowing - !
Without doubt this expresses the opinion
of thousands and thousands of BRYAN
Democrats all over the country. They
have followed the Nebraskan blindlv for
years. They followed him into the
Wilson camp in 1912. They plainly in
tend to follow him out of it in 1916.

WHEN people get lazy, they get the idea
that they can beat the other fellow BY
taking short cuts, or deliberately breaking
the laws of town or state, and as a result.
they are sure to feel the halter of the
law tighten about them. It pays to be
honest in more ways than one. The SELL
fencing of the men and those who sold
liquor illegally to the workhouse. has
caught some of those who are new to
that kind of crime, but it was their lazi-
ness, and desire to escape labor or any
kind of steady work, which lured them
into the trap Of the law. The younger
criminals attempted to escape punishment
by lying; but again trouble resulted, for
one of them at least for a sentence of one !
year in the workhouse, fifty dollars fine
and three months sentence for the origi- |
nal offence of selling liquor illegally, re-
suited because of his swearing to two
distinctly different stories before the At
torney General one at the preliminary
hearing, and the other at the court hear
ing, which is simply perjury, and again
the desire to get an easy living at anothers
ex pense, resulted in trouble. Live on
the square, and give honest effort for ,
value received, are principals which will ]
bring success to the life Of every man. i

The fact that the German navy was
brought into action for the purpose
of cooperating with the German
troops in adding to the smash al
ready delivered against the Russians,
and that the fighting ships were
forced to retire without making an
opening on the coast, is received as
evidence that the German advance
into Russia is redged about with OBJ
stacles which the Germans scarcely
expected to encounter after the ease
with which they entered Warsaw.
The Russians seem to have rallied,
temporarily at least, and are putting
up stubborn resistance. That the
bulk of the Russian army has escaped
from the trap into which the Germans
