To the Memory Of
FRANCIS y. TIERNEY
The Martyred Young OFFICER.
BY NJ. c. ROBBINS

Yes our hearts are broken, bleeding.
We must lay our boy away,
Cruel death has pierced his heart
strings,
Brought to us so dark day.
We must try to bow submissive
To the will OF God above.
Knowing that He orders all things,
With Fathers tender love.
He was at his post of duty,
When the deadly bullet came,
But he thought cen at that moment,
And he breathed his Makers name,
And that prayer was waited heaven
ward,
And was heard right near the
throne,
And the mercy that he asked for,
BY Gods love was to him shown.
Sad his brave life must be taken.
He had bright dreams Just ahead,
I'm moment they we're shattered
He must sleep among the dead.
Till the resurrection angel.
With one finger pointing high,
Calls to his sleeping dead-arise
And live beyond the sky.
Well we know just what sustained
him,
When he knew that death was near
Twas his holy faith upheld him,
And his last words were a prayer
Way beyond the swelling surges.
In the mansions of the blest,
He will meet his Christ-like Saviour
In that land of perfect rest
'Tis consoling to his loved ones
That he knelt at Jesus feet,
Just before deaths call came 10 him
In communion, oh so sweet.
That communion was recorded,
And It made his journey sure.
Gave him entrance through the portal.
To that land where dwell the pure

Case of the William P. FRYE
(From the Washinglon Post)

The sinking Of the American ship
William p. Frye. by the German
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich has
raised the much-disputcd question of
the right of helllgerent TO sink
prizes, either enemy or neutral. The
Frye was en- route to Queenstown with
a cargo of wheat consigned to the
order Of the owners. The commander
Of the cruiser tried to jettison this
cargo. claiming that it was contra
band of war because Il WAS prcsuma-
bly, destined 10 the use of the British
military forces. But it was found TO
be impossible to throw the cargo
overheard, and II was equally impos-
sible TO convey the prize to port for
adjudication before a prize court. Ac-
cordingly the vessel was sunk after
the human beings on board had been
transferred 10 the cruiser.
The nations have variously inierp-
retod international law on the qnes-
tion of the destruction of prizes. The
United States itself has sometimes au-
thOrized its naval commanders TO sink
prizes when circumstances required
such action. Great Britain. during The
Russo-Japnnose war. made vigorous
protest TO Russia against the sinking
OF neutral prizes, declaring that ;hc
practice was contrary 10 acknlWl-
edged principles of international law

MAN WINTER on MARRYING PARSONS.

TN general sense this has been "a mild Winter. In
its witherng effect upon the legislative projects
of those preachers who would like TO restore the old
marriage mill here however, it has been an exceed
ingly hard
Members of the Legislature deserving Of COM
mondation for the with which they have stood
behind the Gormley Marriage law that years ago.
put an end TO the operations of the so-caled marrying
parsons in this city and drove the marriage mill out
of Stlte
When the Legislature smashed the marriage mill
in 1918 it relieved Wilmington of on-wide
and malodorous notoriety a Gretna Green and also
rehabritated our community in public respect Il
would have been manifestly wrong for the present
Legislature in the face of the showing made by that
law TO strike at any of its fundamental features no
matter what extent failure to do might affect the
pockets of certain preachers who seem to look upon
matrimony as a money-making institution.
The fight in the Legislature this session relative
10 the Gormley law of communal sef-respect
against ministerial selfshness. Delawareans gener-
ally are we'll pleased that communal sef-respect won
and that neither by old marriage-mnl nor new mail
order process, will there be any restoration of the
scandalous conditions that prevailed here prior to
Governor Mler's inaugural denunciation and the en-
actment of the Gormley law.

A Most Mischievous Measure
lFrom the NorfoIk vIrglnIan-p piot Democratl

The La Toilette "Seaman's Bill"
passed into law during the closing
hours of the last session Of Congress,
and approved Though il is said with
great reluctancc), by the President, IS
exactly in line with the past legisa-
ton which has been mainly instru-
mental In driving the commercial flag
of the United States from the high
seas. The provisions of the bill in
crease substantially the costs of op-
Grating ships, under American regis
try although these, under the existing
navigation laws. were already SO
greatly in excess of the costs Of oper-
ating foreign ships as TO have be-
slowed on the latter practical monop-
oily Of the carrying trade between our
own and foreign ports. During the
discussion in Congress of the Ship
purchase bill It was demonstrated be-
yond dispute that owing to conditions
imposed BY law on American ship own
ers, the expense of operating an Amer
ican ship was at least forty per cent
more than that at which a British,
Italian or Norwegian ship Of equal
tonnage could make the same oceanic
voyage, loaded with a cargo identical
in bulk and value. This being a fact,
il became obvious TO all but those who
did not want 10 see that the American
ship could not meet the rates that
yielded profit TO the foreign ship ex-
copt at a ruinous loss; aid a neces-
sary corollary TO that proposition is
that every shipper will send his ship
ments by the cheapest route. Under
such handicap American bottoms
abandoned hopeless contest and left
the field Of ocean commerce to be
cultivated by rivals not so hampered
by their governments. PATIENTLY the
first step towards restoration of our
merchant marine would be to relieve
it of the disadvantages which caused
its decadence. But instead of that,
Congress has seconded and the Presi-
dent has yielded to. the demands OF
a negligible element of the citizen

flee of interests common to the body

with tho spectacle, It time when.
above all others. opportunity beckons
to wide commercial development Of
the putting into effect by Congress Of
fresh requirements and restrictions
where every consideration OF reason
calls for a relaxation of those here
tofore proved to be excessive.
Not only is this enactment absolute
ly destructive of any hope Of rehabili-
,ating the fleets whichonce secured
the oceans from pole to pole, but it
will inevitably bring disaster to the
domestic marine which has heretofore
been measurably spared demagogic
assault and has therefore fiourished.
Now that the La Toilette nostrums,
patterned after those with which the
international service has been dOsed
to extinction. are to be administered
TO the vessels plying between coast
ports and on the lakes, bays and riv-
ers of the United States, and as like
produces like, there may be expected
a Gripping OF our intercostal and
internal waterway marine similar,
though perhaps not so absolutely dis
abling, to that which the same Quack-
cry brought upon the foreign branch
of our marine service.
Ii was under the same pretence OF
protecting American industry and
benefting American seamen that the
laws were passed which resulted in
transferring the carrying trade Of
American overseas to foreign bottoms
And to the benefit of whom? Certainly
not to American builders or shipown-
ersl And what good could come to
the negligible number of American
sailors by driving from the seas all
the American shipping which had
previously given them employment?
The bill contains other features Of
revolutionary character on which
comment is reserved. Among these
are several directly in conflict Will

LEGISLATORS AND
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

From the Dover Index.
We congratulate the members of
the Legislature who had the courage
to vote for the woman suffrage
amendment. We believe the women
of Delaware are entitled 10 the vote,
and that they have been denied right
and without any valid reason. The
movement has begun, and we predict
that Il will be hut a few years until
the right will be accorded, and we eX-
press the belief that then those who
could not rise above tie present pre-
iudice will recognize their mistake.
Such a movement may be retarded,
but Il cannot be defeated

the appropriation al this time is that the State
not spare the money and that during the next two
years, it will experience difficulty in meeting other

Assuming that that is true then, alternative,
the Legislature ought increase the annual appro

It to meet the interest the present Indebtedness

Apart from the regular State appropriation of $4,000

speech interpreted as hint that he
might be a candidate for the presi-
dency again in 1916 The people
leaped to their feet and cheered until
the president himself raised hts hand
and called for quiet.
The president had been discussing
the Mexican question, and referred to
his belief that he knew the tempera-
ment and principle of the American
people, adding that he would not be
fit to stay where he was If he did not
understand them.
There may come a time," he went
on, when the American people will
have to judge whether know what I
am talking about or not"
There was a slight pause, and then
the crowd, which included the mem
bers of the Indiana legislature, jumped
up and began shouting and cheering.
Realizing the construction which had
been put on his words, the president
held up his hand for silence, and said:
Il did not mean to stir up any
thing. That was merely preparatory
to saying that for at least two more
years I am free to think I know the
American people"
Previously the president had at.
tackled the Republican party. defended
the record of his administration on

currency questions and declared that

from the elections last November
showed that if it had been presiden-
tial year Democrat would have had
