SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
BLAzONED ONCE MORE.


From the Milford Chronicle.
The old story as TO the disgraceful
condition Of the county jail at
Georgetown as a place for conhning
prisoners has again been blazoned to
the public by the Grand Jurors who
represent the people as an inspecting
committee. The report made last
week Of the inadequate conditions OF
the Jail and its obsolete methods OF
holding prisoners in restraint, and
their recommendation that the pres
er structure be abandoned and the
site be sold, and. that a new Jail be
erected at the County Farm near to
Georgetown, is only another repeti-
tion OF the findings of the former
Grand Juries.
For twenty years the people failed
to take an interest in their county
building, and it became not only OBJ
solete but a disgrace TO the county;
but, finally an effort to better condi-
tions prevailed, and the present re-
modelled County Building is the re-
suit, and II is now a matter Of won
der, as to how the business of the
county was ever transacted in the
old quarters. The Jail is even worse
in its conditions. There is no Sc
curity against the escape of prison
ers. 1t is unsanitary and a danger
TO the public health Of Georgetown
and the surrounding country. and il
should be abolished and the site be
sold to the United States Govern
ment for a post Office. All the coun-
ty is interested in having the recon-
mendation Of the Grand Jury carried
into effect In another column we
republish the report of the Grand
Jury, and we recommend that all
Sussex county people read and con-
slider it carefully. with realization OF
the needs Of their county.

Mr.. McAdoo's Sophisfry
(From the New York Tribune

in subventions would induce private
capital 10 build all the auxiliaries de-
sired. and pledge their use TO the
nation in war time?
How have the other great naval
powers obtained their auxiliary
fleets? Every one of them has fol-
lowed the simple. economical method
Of subsidizing private lines and max
ing private capital do the lions share
of the work of preparation for war
contingencies No nation which
wanted to create a merchant marine
subsidiary to its navy has ever
thought Of resorting to the clumsy,
costly experiment which Mr.. McAdoo
advocates with such childlike en-
thusiasm. He puts the cart before the
horse. II is not the creation of the
auxiliary feet but the. expenditure of
the $50.000.00O out of the Treasury
which seems to him to be the crying
need of tho situation.
It is a. parody on reasoning to
argue that the government must be
come a ship builder and ship owner
because the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company has Just sold its liners on
lilt dlllts luOOt AiiitA NtAt oOiA
because Congress passed the oppres-
sive La Toilette seamen's law. Gov
ernmental action alone drove. them
from the trans-pacific trade. They
would still be conducting that service
over whose termination Mr.. McAdoo
sheds crocodile tears, If the President
had had the courage to veto the La
Toilette act. instead of signing il
and then attempting to escape its
evil effects in part by having depart
ment law officers construe It out OF
its natural meaning.
A very moderate aid given to oul
merchant marine would revive il and
provide more auxiliary tonnage thar
the navy asks for. But to revert tC
that practical, matter-of-fact plar
would be to admit that the admins
tration grievously deceived itsel
when it plunged last winter on the
ship purchase bill. Pride of opinion
is a costly luxury. Rather than con
fess a blunder, the administration
will go on trying to persuade The
country 10 sink fifty million gooC
dollars in perfectly superfuous anI
proftless enterprise.

Most simpler minded persons have
imagined that national defense was
an end in itself But according to
the logic of the ingenious Mr.. Nc
Adoo. the true end of a national de-
fence programme seems to be to give
the Federal government an excuse
for spending $50,000OO0 for the pur-
pose Of acquiring and operating a big
feet Of merchant vessels.
Mr. McAdoo must put a very con-
temptuous valuation on the intelli-
gence Of the fresh water voters to
whom he is trying to impart some
notion of the merits of his govern
ment ship purchase scheme. other
wise he would have avoided the
boomerang arguments which he used
the other evening az Indianapolis. In
his speech in that city he tried to
make his hearers think that the gov
ernments Intervention as ship
owner and builder is absolutely in
dspensable if the navy is ever to
get the feet of auxiliaries which
would he needed in case Of war. That
Is a begging of the question which
can deceive only the most ignorant
The Secretary Of the Treasury says
that Admiral Benson told him last
winter that auxiliaries of 1,172.000
tonnage would be needed in case of
war But tonnage Of 100000 is
already available. according to the
admiral's statement Only 472 900
tons would be required TO make up
all deficiencies. and common sense
would prompt any intelligent person
TO ask why the extra 472.000 tons
could not be secured by a slight ac-
celeration Of the economic forces
which have produced the existing
100000
Our laws provide now for an auxil-
iary navy composed of merchant ships
TO which the government pays mail
subventions. If Congress had been
willing to grant little larger sub
ventions and open new mail routes
to South America. Asia and Australia
we should now have more than the
1,172.0O0 tons of auxiliaries needed by
the navy. What is the use of invest
ing S5O.000.000 in government
operated merchant marine when an
expenditure Of one-tenth Of that sum

The shooting of Chan Tzur by a Chinese student

scheme to restore monarchial in China and
to elevate himself the throne cannot be put through
without opposition and danger to himself Chan Tzuri
has been one Of Yuan Sh Kais most active emssaries
in the work of preparing the Chinese people for the

automobile if he will appear before

Broad Creek. and explain how the
machine came to be lodged on the
ton Of his woodshed Steele heard
crash some time Tuesday night, but
thought nothing more of it until yes
terday morning, when he was aston

shed roof with the wheels sticking in

There were no license tags on the
machine and no clue to the owner.
Inside the automobile was a gallon

ROBBED WOODROW WILSON.

DOVER, Del, oct. 20.-Pleading
guilty yesterday to stealing a horse,
carriage and harness from Woodrow
Wilson, of near Harrington, no rela-
tion of the President, Joseph Gardner
was sentenced to five years in the
workhouse and 20 lashes at the whip
ping post and was fined 500 and or
dered to pay $3.50 restitution money.
Frank Davis, indicted for breaking
and entering a store with intent to
steal. defended himself so we'll with
out the services of a lawyer that a
Jury acquitted him after deliberating

been returned so far, and the Grand
Jury has many more cases to con-
slider.

that the statute meant what it said;
or they might have appealed to Mr..
Redfeld to construe that statutes
provisions contrary to their terms,
and obeying his good natured inter-
probation, laid themselves open to
prosecution in the courts; and they
might have neglected good oppor-
tunity to quit a losing business and
sell their stock in trade. None OF
these foolish things did they, as trus-
tees for the owners, elect to do; and
their course, dictated by intelligence
and buttressed in experience. is obvi-
ously vexatious to the ethical Mr.
Redfeld
But Mr.. Redfeld may extract GER
tain amount of comfort from the dis
honorable foresighted use of the sor-
did Pacific Mail managers. If they
and their fellows obstinately refuse
to follow callings the government has
deliberately made unremunerative,
does not that fact argue convincingly
for the establishment of a government
marine whose losses the taxpayers
will make good?

GENUINE eczema REMEDY
New Remedy That Heals Eczema
Quickly.

n. B. Danforth has sold hundreds OF
jars of Hokara. and although he offer
ed to refund the purchase price TO any
dissatisfied purchaser, not one jar has
been returned.
While this is surprising in itself, yet
the most marvellous thing is the re-
ports of chronic cases of eczema that
have been cured by this simple skin
food. People who have suffered with
scales, scabs and even bleeding itch
ing have found relief in Hokara.
No matter where the eczema, pim-
pies or other breaking out occurs.
whether on the face, hands. legs or
body, the application of Hokara should
give quick relief. and even the worst
or most chronic cases should be cured
in a short time.
You can buy a liberal-sized jar to-
day at the very low price of 25c, and
with every package goes N. B. Dan
forth's guarantee to refund the money
if it is not satisfactory
