HAZEL LAW REPEATER AND MIL BILL.

TF the Hazel Ant-shipping law be repealed by the
Legislature at its present session II will not bring
special regret to the "drys" or fiji the "wets' with
jubilation except that the repeal will put the liquor
dealers in New Castle county equal footing with
such dealers in other States the matter of making
shipments into the dry counties in Delaware.
That the effect of such repeal may be understood
clearly il may be we'll refer briefly to the situation
in our commonwealth. or the three counties compos-
ing our state New Castle is wet and Kent and Sussex
arc dry. Two years ago Legislature passed law,
commonly known the Hazel law prohibiting the ship
ment Of Intoxicating liquors into Kent and Sussex and
also regulating the carrying Of ntoxcants into that
dry territory It the purpose to have that law
apply TO liquor dealers within and without the state
Subsequently it discovered that while it was
fully effective regards New Castle county dealers
whose shipments would be intra-state, it void
regards outside liquor dealers whose shipments would
be interstate
The situation that presented itself was that New
Castle county liquor dealers who pay license fees and
taxes and spend much OF their money in Delaware
we're barred by the Hazel law from making any ship
mens into Kent and Sussex, while dealers in Pennsy
,ania New Jersey Maryland and other States were
al liberty under the Federal law, to food those two
counties with ntoxcants under the highly elastic re-
stricon that such liquors should "for lawful use
airness and impractcability OF such sit
apparent on its face, and decision was
r,,ucneu * LSs4ntroduce a repeal bill.
In the defeat Of the Hill BILL which designed ia
accomplish in Kent and Sussex the things the Hazel
law had failed to accomplish the "wets" have
victory over the "drys That fact must be conceded
whether the "drys" will succeed in obtaining rever-
sal of the present legislative attitude remains TO be
seen.

d RESIDENT WILSON'S Ship Purchase bill is dead
Il beyond hope Of redemption. The Republican
Democratic fibustcr against it has had
full effect the American people are loud in their
praise Of those Senators who have stood shoulder
to shoulder in making it effective.
In the matter OF protecting American investors in
shipping properties; in defending the Federal treas
ury against unwse depletion, and in conserving our
friendly relations with foreign Powers it has been
the most beneficial flbuster engaged in by patri-
otic members of the United States Senate
Whether President Wilson will renew at the next
session OF Congress his effort to put the bill through
remains for him to decide. While it is true he viii
be dealing with larger Democratic majority in the
Senate It also is true he will be dealing with much
smaller and perhaps less subservent Democratic ma
jority in the House. And again. the situation in Eu-
rope and upon the high will be radically differ
ent when the session The lapse OF time
should intensity and crystalize public opposition to
such legislation, while the change in the war situation
may supply to the President for abandoning
his project and escaping with some measure Of grace
from humiating position before the American peo-
pie and those of the world at large

A BILL TmAT SHOULD BE KILLED

rFNHERE is no reasonable excuse Legislature
throwing the Chesapeake and Delaware canal
and other resh-wator streams and lakes in Delaware
open to nonresident anglers Delaware anglers. and
there arc many of them, have valid right to protest
against such legislation being highly nimical to
them and their favorite sport
When the nonresident no-license bill first in
troduced in the State Senate it merely provided that
nonresident anglers need not take out State licenses
to obtain the privilege fishing in the waters OF the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal There vehement
protest against favorable action the bill in that
form Il was referred to committee subsequently
reported out favorably with amendment throwing
open all the fresh-water streams and lakes in the state
to non-rosidents II is in that shape that it is
awaiting action in the Senate.
II the Senators have any interest in the hundreds
OF Delaware anglers and any regard for their wishes
they viii kill both the bill and the amendment. Our
homo fishermen are. rule. taxpayers voters and
aII-the-year speuders in State They and their
wishes are entitled 10 consideration and respect at
the hands OF men whom they assisted to elect Ger
tainly they should not be houted and their sport
spoiled the sake Of nonresident anglers who are
taxpayers, voters or alhe-year spenders so far
as Delaware is affected
We can understand why certain merchants and deal
crs in liquid refreshments the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal should be willing for the sake of theil
own pockets TO sacrifice the interests of resident
anglers We cannot understand. however, why sucl
private and pocuniary considerations should carry
weight with members of the Legislature who derive
profit from such stores and amentary refreshmon
dispensares, tho canal elsewhere II seems q
us their minds the wishes of hundreds of Della
voters. taxpayers and money-spenders shoul'
weigh heavily than those of non-residonts non
voters non-taxpayers and occasional spenders, re
nforced by the monoy-hunger of a small group tha

have taken the matter too lightly.
With the great increase of women or
social distinction and personal charm
in the ranks of the suffragists public
support of the cause in a polite way
has become a sort of agreeable "func-
ton" associated with the animated
talk of bright women who have
found something to talk about Men
of this kind have done much
more than they realize to encourage
and strengthen the movement. to give
il form and force. Associating with
well-bred. intelligent and witty wo-
men. many of whom have taken up
suffrage agitation as a mere pastime,
they have not taken pains 10 look
closely enough into the matter 10
comprehend how deeply rooted in the
basic ideals of our civilization are the
true objections to turning woman
out into the everlasting scrimmage
of life. depriving her of the respect
and protection she needs in return
for a privilege which woulc surely
fail of effect.
If women suffer wrongs, il is the
duty of men to right them. II bad
laws hamper and afflict them, men
should bestr themselves to have
those laws repealed 1t is the privil-
ege of men TO care for the women.
Arc they prepared 10 resign that priv
ilege? Let them take note Of the So
cial heresies. the dalliance with "ad-
vanced" theories. that amaze them in
current literature and the pronounce
ments of certain feminine leaders OF
thought. If they are convinced that
! comparatively few of the suffragists
! they meet are now inclined TO eXtol
the husbandless mother, the trial
marriage. and the more eXtravagant
vagaries of the seekers for a new
/ freedom. they cannot blind them
selves to the obnoxious growth in
the last few years of theories OF liv-
ing which no longer shock the wo-
men who fancy their sex needs more
liberty. The "heelers" and the ma
nipulators of votes will all support
woman suffrage 1t is worth bearing
in mind that the threatened extension
of the ballot has no terrOrs for the
practitioners of corrupt politics. The
disposition of politicians. not of true
statesmen, to adapt themselves quick
ly to what they regard. often mis-
takenly, as public sentiment. has let
to much of the success OF the suifra
gists thus far; was. in fact, the causI
of the recent foolish action of oui
own Legislature. But it is just al
we'll that the matter should be de
cided now by all the men of the State

If the purpose of the administra-

THE FIRST ROBIN.
rom DC Grand RapIds News.l

(From the Grand Rapids News.)
Bill Angst, the soda jerker, stood at
Jandorf's marble bar,
In meditation deep was he His mind,
it roamed afar
To bosky delIs and ripping streams
where trout are apt TO lurk.
A vision of Joyous spring came to
the luncheon clerk,
"Say, bo." he said as he brought on
our sinkers and our tea,
Springs on the way to this burg,
sure, take that tip straight from
me.
When | came down at o'clock this
morning-just at dawn
I lamped the first spring robin hop
pin round upon lawn"
or course. these first spring robin
guys we've very often heard.
But Bill is a religious wight--we've
got TO take his word.
He's somewhat like George Washing
ton, to fib he's not Deen taught;
We've not known Bill to tell lie-or
tell one and be caught
When that religious census thing was
started in our Town,
Bill was the first to go to work and
take the census down.
We've got lot of faith in Bill. For
many years we've heard
His brand of wise philosophy on all
that has occurred.
If any other friends of ours had said
this wondrous thing
Concerning the discovery Of this first
bird of spring
We should have taken it with salt
and winked the leeward eye.
But Bill is such an honest cuss-hed
tell the truth or die.
"The harbinger saw" said Bill, was
somewhat weak and pale,
And was some wabbly on his pins.
No, il were not no quail.
II staggered round about a tree, as
crazy as a loon.
! It's song was weak and seemed to
say. 1 guess I'm here too soon
GO back said ]. Go back, you nut,
unto the sunny South,
Before our climate stops your song
by freezing up your mouth.
But that bird simply looked at me
pathetic like and broke
Into a song which seemed to say, I'll
stay here, If I croak
"You say that il might not have been
robin? Mercy man.
If / can't tell robin I would like to
know who can!
II wasn't any whippoorwill or hen or
stork or crane,
A man who cannot pick out birds
gives me an angling pain.
Oh. yes, he was some skinny and his
feathers they were rough.
But for all that know it was a robin
right enough"

DOLLAR DAY in this city brought pleasant results
~ TO both merchants and customers
Thousands Of shoppers were out; thousands of sales
we're made and thousands of genuine bargains were
obtained by those who answered the call Of the enter
prsing leaders in the local mercantile field.
It was a day Of good feeling and good fellowship.
The friendly feeling between our merchants and those
who live and shop in the Wilmington trade zone was
strengthened
The day supplied to the merchants an opportunity
to show and to tho shoppers opportunity to see
what an advantageous market have here for dol
lar bargains and also for all sorts OF purchases In
short il was good advertisement for city and its
stores and one will produce important trade-pro
ducng results
We congratulate the merchants upon the splendid
way i'm which they sized up their responsibilities in
the matter and the shoppers the interest they dis
played in a big trade function that has become pleas
ant annual function in our commercial field.
