THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

50 prominent in detailed prac-
tical interest in educational affairs,
Governor Miller's administration
has been rightly stamped as one Of
Educational Advance i'll Delaware.
For this interest, he has won the
respectful attention Of the citizens
at large, irrespective of party. He
has held that the improvement of
our whole school system is the
real basis for a stronger citizen
ship and greater Delaware. His
message read before the General
Assembly on last Thursday only
emphasizes the policy heretofore
presented and practiced in his Of
fetal position. Further than that,
the Message has added another
striking feature to the Administra-
tiOn-that Of Economy. AS Gov
prnor of the State, he has an
nouncod a policy Of business meth
DDS as applied to public affairs.
The condition Of the State finances
has been presented to the members
so that they can see just what the
resources are. This information,
an innovation in itself, serves as
a check on reckless appropriations.
Far too often in the past, money
has been voted without any idea
whether the State could afford it
or not. Under the present scheme,
it becomes a matter Of plain every
day business. The result can only
be estimated. A precedent will
be established that will be unpOpu-
lar as well as unwise to break.
These prominent features are,
however, only a small part Of the
message. The topics discussed
show interest and detailed inform
alton Of affairs in all sections
throughout the State. There is not
a semblance of scctionalism in the
whole address. 1t is truly a State
document. No message in our rec
objection has been received with
so much generous applause by the
newspapers. Void of party parti-
sanShip, it has been accepted by
the cOmmonsense of the State as
worthy of more than ordinary con-
sideration. The keynote Of the
Address is Service. The members
of the General Assembly will do
well to consider, seriously it's
recommendations and do their part
in projecting the legislation as out
lined.

NEWARK HACK SERVICE

It's not merely local pride but
an appreciated Truth that Newark
stands first in the State in many
things of public utilities and ser
vice. The latest is the transfer
service given by the Strahorn and
the Stiltz Auto Transfers. A few
weeks ago A. L. Stiltz came out
with a fine passenger car, to be fol-
lowed by Chas w. Strahorn replac-
ing the old bus with a new car.
There is no town from Philadel-
phia to Cape Charles that has any
thing to approach these new ears.
They are not the usual rural town
Depot hack we have experienced
both in fact and fiction, but they
represent real luxury. It's good
to be met with such service on our
return home. And it is fine ad-
vertisement for first impression to
strangers. Both men are to be con-
graduated.

Comment On
Governors Message

IF you don't have any money to
spend, don't spend it! What an
iconclast is Governor Charles R.
Miller
Very bluntly he advises Della
wares Legislature that dwindling
State income compels lessened ex-
penditures.
The Governor, being an excep-
tIonally able business man, has been
used to cutting his coats according
to the cloth available. But that is
not the routine method Of most
government.
Pile up the taxes, increase the
appropriations and let us all have
a nibble at the public crib, no mat
ter how much the ordinary indi-
vidual must economize! Every
body saves but Congresses and
Legislatures, and they spread the
butter on thicker than ever.
Not since Colonel Haslet led the
bestdressed regiment in Washing
ton S army to Long Island, where
birth was given to "Blue Hens
Chicks" has anything more re-
freshing come out of Delaware
than Governor Miller's business
like note III his message to the law
makers.

HIT THE BALL

The world admires a wit, loves
a humorist. but tires Of the prac-
teal joker. The Democrats in their
explanation Of business conditions
have become a joke. Varied from
psychological conditions, )" the
war" and now the latest-"an at
titude of mind" their joke has
lost it's point. 1t is over year
now since that party's spokesman
gave out statements of a rush of
business throughout the country.
The war, Of course, did not enter
into the prophecy. But a year
agO-bcfOre the war began, they
were calling the depression a
psychological condition." During
the late summer, the War furnish
ed the popular excuse. Now after
five months of international strife,
the only explanation is that bust
ness depends on an latitude of
the mind. " President Wilson says
the secret of public service is like
playing golf-tho main thing is to
hit the ball. And right he is.
Graceful, polished always, he
never said anything wiser. What
the country wants today is business
Any explanation by the party in
power, must chit the ball" We
have had enough sun parlor talk
on the game.

subsidy's Last Ditch.

No argument against the ship pur-
chase bill receives more attention in
Congress and in the newspaper press
that still cherishes the memory OF
Mark Hanna than that which holds
that we cannot operate government
owned merchantmen without danger
of war. It is assumed that every ship
acquired by the company in which the
government is to be the principal
stockholder will be subject to seizure
by some belligerent, and that public
opinion in this country would never
submit to an unfavorable decision by
a foreign prize court in such case.
Senators Root, Lodge and Gallinger
have already explained to us with soTe
restraint the danger that We invite
by public action to extend our sea
going commerce. neglected by ship

Makes Bogus" Claims.

Senator Borah rose in the Senate
the other day to protest the Presi-
dents statement that the Republican
party had not had new idea in thirty
years. In the list Of Republican
achievements. he cited the "parcel-post
law, the physical valuation Of rail-
roads law, the employers liability
law, the law limiting the hours of SER
vice of railroad men, compensation for
injuries to government employees, and
the child-labor law for the District of
Columbia" He asserted, too, that "the
Children's Bureau was established,
publicity of campaign funds provided
for, eight hours a day for government
employees and under government con-
tracts provided for, law requiring
railroads to report accidents enacted
etc, by Republicans. He even laid
claim to the constitutional amendments

the direct election Of United States
senators.

Take q Look At Canada.

Some Of the Tories who have been
scolding President Wilson for not keep
ing the American dinner pail full
should be greatly enlightened by read.
ing little industrial history now be-
ing made in Canada. 1t would reveal,
for instance. that the Grand Trunk
Railroad proposes to reduce the wages
of $4,000 employees. It might be add.
ed that the earnings Of the Canadian
Pacific have fallen off many millions
since the outbreak of the war. Cana
dian cities have hosts Of unemployed
men in spite Of the industries that have
been stimulated by the demand for war
materials.
This in Canada, the State where the
corporations are so fairly treated"
where railroad and trust commissions
are not treading on the heels Of the
beneficent rulers of Big Business. With
all these wholesome Canadian laws.
carefully designed to promote and en-.
courage expansion Of trade, Canada
still has depression.
Why not blame Mr.. Wilson for the
depression in Canada as well as that
In the United States? Since any Demo
cratic executive must bear the brunt
of crop failures and panics before and
after his administration, why not I'M
load the depression of Canada upon
his shoulders as we'll? Why such de-
ference to a high Office and an over
worked President ?-Milwaukee Jour-
nal (Rep.).
