The American Point of View
lFrom the New York sun.l

An informed and interesting Lon
don despatch in yesterdays Sun in
regard to the reply now under consid-
Grafton by the British Government TO
the informal inquiries addressed to IL
by the United States on February %
and in regard 10 the tenor of the or
der in council. soon to be issued, de-
claring by what measures Great Brit
ain will seek TO make effective her
policy OF reprisals against Germany
contains this message:
1T may be said with certainty thai
the order will provide for certain
freedom OF action as far as neutral
countries are concerned. Some de.
tails will be left to consideration"
This seems to indicate a realization
Of the delicacy or danger OF policy
OF "reprisals" which would shut OF
or try TO shut out neutral commerce
without q formal blockade, the seiz
ure and taking into port "of ships

Should be men intelligence who feel that their hrst
luy IS to place our educational system upon the high
sst possible plane of efficiency. Those commissioners
lso should be men who recognize that the people own
Inc schools and have inherent right TO determine

bosc schools shall be for the benefit Of the chill

bob-cat and the contortive attributes of hcllbendcr

To be efficient school board must be compact and
50 composed that it merits and possesses the confidence
and respect OF parents, pupils and teachers II must
be in sympathy with the educational aims of the people
and sonsibly responsive to public will.
The Legislature should find pleasure in providing
such board for the city Of Wilmington the educational
system Of which now is in the hands of a body big in
bulk but small in efficiency and smaller still in its APP
probation of what it to the people whose schools
It controls and whose money it spends. That is our
chief educational need.

SHOULD BE REBUILT.

TT will be a waste Of public funds for our county to
continue TO pursue a patchwork policy in dealing
with that section % the old Wilmington ane Philade
phia turnpike extending from this city to Claymont
That strotch Of road is in need of rebuilding. The
economical thing to do is to rebuild it, II it be
necessary borrow the money required to carry out
the project Ordinary repair work, under conditions
as they now exist, is merely throwing money away.
The old turnpike section forms part Of the main
horoughfare between this city and Chester and Pha
dophia. An enormous amount Of traffic passes over
il in both directions The roadbed should be put in the
pink OF condition and properly maintained The tax
payers have lost money already through expenditures
for makeshift repairs. In the interest of their own
pockets they should stand firmly for policy OF re-

denote that that freedom is to be ex-

ME BILLS THAT FAILED.

From the Washington Post.
So far as the volume of work Is
concerned, there have been few Con-
crosses that transacted so much pub
lie business as the Sixty-third session,
which has adjourned. The program
was ambitious There has been a
complete change in the tariff policy
of the nation, an entire revision of the
banking system, and an entirely new
and drastic regulation of the large
corporations.
Among the bills that have failed
are the ship purchase, Philippine IN
dependence, labor safety. rural cred
it. army reorganization, woman SUI
frage and prohibition amendment
conservation, immigration, and child
labor bills. Most of these measures
we're so important in their possible
effects that an injustice might have
been done if they had been rushed
through hastily in the closing hours
Of the session.
There will be plenty of work fol
| the next session, but the country vii
have a chance for a rest, and th'
legislators will return to their worl
with a better knowledge of public
opinion. Mingling with their con
stituents, the members who retair
their seats will be able to feel tina
they are more closely in touch witt
/ the people. Newly elected member
will come fresh from the people il
sufficient numbers to provide tn
balance of power in the Senate a
we'll as in the House.
hxr
third Congress will be passed upo
by the people of the United States i
November. 1916. The good that ha
been done will be recognized. TIL
harm that has been done likewis
will be recognized. The issue upo
which the election will be decided
however. will be the issue of prosper
ity.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THOMAS W. MILLER.
From the Dover Republican.

From the Dover Republican.
Thomas W. Miller. ex-Secretary of
State, has taken up his duties as Con-
gressman from Delaware, succeeding
the Hon. Brockson.
Delaware, regardless Of politics. re-
grets that Mr.. Miller has left the Del
aware State House, for he has been
an exceptional Secretary of State, and
he has left a record for efficiency that
it will be difficult for future holders
of that Office TO live up to.
We should be proud that we have
such men in our State to represent
us anywhere, especially in Congress.
This is the age of young men, and
Mr. Miller has proven himself one
of the Live Wires" of Delaware's
young officials. II seems rather un-
fortunate for him that he is to become
minority member of very sub
servient Democratic Congress. which
is distinctly under the thumb of a
very learned President, who in turn
is under the control of a very Demo-
cratic Democrat named Bryan.
We must not expect Tom Miller to
work wonders in Congress all at once,
because he is only one drop in a
bucket of contrary water" but we
can be thankful that we have thor
oughly honest, energetic and repre-
sentative gentleman TO represent our
State in the National Congress, and
We know that lie will do nothing of
which We can be ashamed.
When Thos. w. Miller first receiv-
ed his appointment as Secretary OF
State, for Delaware, the whole press
both Democratic and Republican ac-
cepted him with doubt. and some pa
pers with misgivings, but his record
in that Office has been by far the
most brilliant and best of any of tho
eminent men who preceded him IN
that Office. He has left a record o.
attention to business, of industry
and of ability that has surprised botf
friends and foes.
George Hall, who succeeds him al
Delaware's Secretary of State is ;
man of vast experience and of abso
Lutte integrity-we welcome him, ant
feel that he will do all that Mr.. Mil
Ter for want of time, may have lef
undone He has our absolute faitl
and good will.

Editorial Opinion
ExTRAyAGANCE RAMPANT.

From the New York Tribune.
In his admonitions to Congress at
the beginning of the last session
President Wilson devoted a few kind
words to economy. "The duty of eco
nomy is not debatable," he said; 1t
is manifest and imperative" Having
relieved himself of that admirable
sentiment he went his way Congress
also went its way. The result is a
total of appropriations for the short
session of $1.12S.OO0,000, an increase
of S12.O0,000 over the total for the
long session.
The total for the two years is ST.
244,000,O00. with many stray items
still unincluded. That is an increase
of about $125,O00.O00 over the total
for the 62d Congress and Of nearly
5000, 100000 over the total of the 6lst
Congress. which was controlled by
the Republicans.
There is no justification for the ex-
traordinary enlargement of public eX-
penditure which has occurred since
the House of Representatives became
Democratic in 1911. An intelligent
effort TO ecOnomize would have held
expenditure down to an annual aver
age of between $1,O25. 100000 and ST.
O50, 100000. No such effort was made
The Wilson administration has pu
no check on waste. 1t was too anx
ious to get destructive Legislation
through Congress TO give any time
or thought to nationally construct
cd federal budget. The Congression
al spenders had their opportunity an'
made the most of it. In an effort Il
cover over their extravaganza the!
even imposed new internal revenu
taxs amounting to S1O0,000,000 year

SECRETARY OF STATE HALL.

From the Dover Index.
In the selection of Secretary OF
State TO succeed the late Secretary OF
State. Congressman Thomas w. Mil
Ter, the governor has selected a sue
cessful business man and one OF the
leading citizens of lower Delaware,
General George H. Hall, of Milford.
General Hall has had experience
along many lines, and his appoint
ment, while a surprise TO many, is
not a surprise to those who follow
the inner workings OF Republican pol
itics. General Hall was the Republic
can nominee for Representative in
Congress in 1912, and is considered
one of the potent factors in Sussex
county politics. The selection OF a
Secretary of State is always consid-
cred a personal appointment, and the
governor is to a large degree the per-
son whose interests and preferences
should be consulted, as he is direct
ly responsible for his Secretary OF
State The average person has no
| idea of the vast volume of business
which passes through the Secretary
, of States office. and of the conse-
quent responsibility which rests upon
the incumbent in that Office. General
Hall has made good thus far as a
merchant, the managing head of the
Milford Trust Company. a director of
/ the Continental Life Insurance Com
pany and in other positions of re-
sponsibility and trust.

Umpire Hart, who arbitrated on the

puted play closely, thus necessitating
an appeal to Rigler behind the plate,
which caused the latter to become in
