To the Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Sir-l have just heard, with the greatest pleasure

After having travelled the United States
am OF the opinion that part OF our country is asi
taNorably located, for small farming particularly as
he Delmarvia Peninsula, at the head of which Della
ware College stands II is apparent that this section
ol our country is improving more rapidly perhaps than
any other section of the United States and has more all
round advantages than any other section
IL Is gratifying TO know that Delaware College and
he AIMED nearby Women's College have lately taken
On new lie, and teaching subjects especially adam
leu 10 tne needs OF the young and the young wo-
men OF Delmarva Peninsula. For the above and many
pther reasons am more than grathed over the above
Endowment and shall now look forward ia these COL
eges attaining an immediate further growth along the
nght lines They are each blessed with good faculty
ana executive who are using up-to-date Head Hand
and Heart methods.
am sure am but vocing the sentiment OF many

blending Of the old and the methods.

Tariff and The Elections
1l7ron iho washington Posi-

Elections held between presidential
years may mean much in national
way When the tariff has been forced
deliberately TO the front iu local and
State campaigns, as was done in Massa-
chuseits, Pennsylvania and the congrcs
sional districts of New York, the results
are hour- TO have national significance.
That the trend toward Republicanism
is due very largely TO the emphasis laid
upon the protective tariff issue was
made quite clear by the selection Of Mr..
Mc( all, formerly "a member OF the Re
publican ways and means committee of
the House, as the standard bearer of the
Republicans in Massachusetts,. aud by
the plain challenge ia Pennsylvania that
the vote for the Republican ticket in the
local elections would have a moral in
fluonce upon the presidential election.
The people of the different States
clearly were actilated by the de
sire 90 strip the issues OF all aspects
not definitely connected with the prob
lem of living in America They felt that
the first requisite was TO insure a return
to the protective tariff. and thus Incl
dentally make certain oi The permanency
of prosperity.
II was IN the IWenty-third district of
Sew York. however, that the real test
OF national issues was made. The late
Joseph Coulden. Democrat. represent
ed this district in the Filty-eighth.

Sixty-third Congresses. In the election
of 1914. Mr. Goulden received lS,s22
votes, as against l2,oUO received by
Niles fRopublican and independently and
SOS received by Ayres, running on the
Progressive and Business Men League
ticket
The present election was especially
arranged TO hll the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr. Goulden. The Demo
cratic candidate was the nephew OF
Charles +. Murphy. and, in addition TO
the strong support of Tammmy, he had
the Endorsement OF President Wilson.
The most forceful orators IN the Demo
cratic party were sent into the district
TO support him. because il WAS realized
that this district would be the battle
ground for testing national principles.
Former Representative Bennet the.
publicanl was the seasoned opponent OF
the Democratic candidate, and his We
tory demonstrates not merely the eill-
cacy Of the protective tariff argument,
but also the fact that the Progressiyes
have returned 10 the Republican party
As a matter Of fact. there was no Pro
gressive ticket in the field, and the
large plurality Of the Democrats at the
former election was easily overcome.
The present elections leave no doubt
that the tariff issue Is the most effective
weapon of oflense in The possession of
the Republican party and that 1t viii

The suggestion has been made by

is not the case. The Senate is a con

readopting them at the beginning Of a
Congress. The Senate is always organ
lied. aud the moment its sessions begin
il operates under the rules, some Of
which were adopted more than a CEN
tury ago. The House adopts rnles at
the beginning of each Congress, because
it is an entirely new body. The terms
of all members begin and end on March
4 of every odd-numbered year; but only
one third of the senators retire every
two years. the. others constituting a con-
tinning body. The Senate is almost in
variably called into extra session on the
day after a new presidential term has
begun This is the beginning of new

does not adopt new rules OF readopt old
ones. 1t proceeds to business under the
rules already existing.
