MAN VS.. COWARD

Martin. Editor of The Review,
is up against it. We can sympa-
thize with him, or rather appre-
ciate the fun he is having.
Martin wrote an editorial few
weeks ago, touching a very ten
der spot in Student Grafters,
cheating, quantity of gray mat
ter required to get a degree, lack
of manhood and the like. Immed-
lately they got after him, as is
customary. Every man who dares
have an opinion in type is in for a
fight. Not an open fight, mind
you; ambush. Think of college
man writing an anonymous letter
such as Martin received! The
Coward only proved Martin was
right in his editorial. We hold no
brief for the Review Editor; he
needs none. We are scarcely ac-
quainted with him except that his
name figures in all prominent stu
dent activities. Every report has
him down as Loyal Delawarean,
sacrificing much for his Alma
Mater.
This is simply word of en-
couragement-if worth while-to
a student who dares his convic-
tions.

THE GRAY HONORS THE BLUE

February 18th, 1916-the Vir-
ginia Legislature adjourned in
honor of Lincoln's Birthday.
Nothing since Grady's "New
South" has struck us with such
force as this simple eulogy of
Lincoln. A shaft of honor to the
man in faded gray, who made the
motion, wreath to those who
supported it. Marble will never
be carved that Lincoln would have
appreciated as this honor from
Virginia. It drives away the pes
simism of politics and brings
closer a Government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
pie, that shall not perish from the
earth.

GOOD MINSTREL?
Then There's A Treat
Coming

From all reports the Aetna
Hose, Hook and Ladder Com
pany is to be congratulated in
obtaining the White Rose Min
strels to play a benefit for them.
The White Rose Quartet, one OF
the features is without a doubt
the best that has ever appeared
here and will please the most
skeptical. Messrs. James and
Mannering will be seen in a bud
get of fun and up to date comedy.
These men are in class by them
selves and are widely known thru
the State for their cleverness.
Messrs. Afee and Reed will be
seen in Classic dances and up to
date songs. The work of these
artists is too we'll known to COM
ment on. Mr.. Hillary Long, the
worlds greatest head balancer, is
also making this tour with the
White Rose. His head balancing
is nothing short of marvellous and
must be seen to be appreciatedb
Tickets are now selling and can
be had from any of the firemen or
at Rhodes Drug Store. While you
are spending an evening of pleas
ure you are helping the Smyrna
firemen as we'll as Aetna Hose
Hook and Ladder Co. When busi-
ness men take the time to go from
town to town for this cause it is
time to take off your hat and fall
in line. Do not forget the date,
Feb. 25th. Secure your seats
early.
The Delaware State News has
this to say: "The White Rose
Minstrels of Smyrna delighted an
audience which packed the Dover
Opera House on Wednesday even
ing. 1t was a benefit for the Rob-
bins Hose Company and the large
audience was tribute alike to
the visitors and to our popular
and always appreciated firemen.
Smyrna has been noted for the tai
ent of these black face comedians
these many years. We do not
know a town that possesses more
ability along these lines than this
neighbor IL miles away. Many of
the numbers were repeatedly en-
cored. The entire program was
promised a royal success.
These artists of Smyrna, white
amateurs, when it comes to deliv-
ering the goods are professionals

are indebted to our most efficient

SILENT, WHEN?
"TO sin by Silenc

TO SIN by Silence
When we should protest is the
evil of the day. 1t is the increas-
ing danger to our national life
and institutions. More and more
is it pervading the thought and
prompting the actions of those di-
recting the growth of society. 1t
is a phase new to the growth of
this Republican experiment. Moth
ing in our life is more un-Ameri-
can, nothing so smacks of Euro
pean apeing as this withholding
of Facts from Society, by those
directing the trend of social de-
velopment. Subtle in its int1u-
ence, it is the most destructive
force of Democracy. Silence, sup
preston of facts, carried to its
logical conclusion, means revolu-
ton, or History will never repeat
Silence by those in high places,
fear of facing the popular inter
pretation of Facts arouses first
suspicion in the minds of the So
called masses. And suspicion,
based on silence is ignorantly in
terpreted which in sequence e
creates division-those in power
and those which we called the
Masses. Immediately we have
. Glass Distinction with all it's at
tending dangers, growing finally
into Glass Hatred.
Not always is Silence Prompted
through fear. Often it is based
on false conviction that the
Facts will be grossly interpreted
or ignorantly judged. True such
would occur, but the danger is
less than suppression. Suspicion
of Public Affairs is fraught with
more danger than the popular in
depreciation of Facts honestly and
openly admitted. Suspicion of
men in public life, of the conduct
of our public institutions, exist
today where there is no need for
it. Unwise Silence is the reason
for this. Public institutions are
public interests and their conduct
must be submitted to an unlocking
and interested citizenship. Moth
/ ing so engenders the spirit of CO.
operation as the taking into con-
! fidence the constituency of an in
stitution. Honest, but many pub
l'lic officials, are assuming grave
Responsibilities in deciding the
proper time to acquaint the pub
lie with the inner working of our
life. Far better to
present tn efacts, pleasing or not,
as the case may be, and with true
leadership present them and ask
for a comforting Interpretation.

mitted with shame, that muck
raking has during the last few
years sickened the minds of the
reading puf,ic. But as great a
smirch as this is on American
writer's, the great danger today is
the suppression Of news. TO say
the least, and in no way favoring
the undertaking campaign ex-
pressed for moi no mean cour-
age. print the News" is stl )ng
order for the publisher of today
to issue. Every force active in
the life of the Nation seeks 4 CEN
sorship on what shall appear in
the Metropolitan dailies. Every
force, political, financial, institu-
tional, plays an important part in
what you read in tomorrow's
paper. Sensationalism is not the
worst feature of journalism; it is
the tendency toward suppression.
Printing Truth, not so much as l
would, but as much as l dare" is
a silent resolve of more than one
editorial desk.
At no time in the history of the
country have these forces been
insistent as they are today. That
they are insistent, every news
paper man is thoroughly ac-
quainted. Insignificant, may be
the request mot to print" "hold
for the present." are the daily
cries to the reporter from the
forum, the court, the college, the
exchange.
These requests test the honor
and commonsense of the editor
who feels a sense Of his RESPONSE
bility. Those, with malicious in
tent, are or should be of easy So
luton. The test comes from the
requests made by those, honest in
their convictions. Fearing false
Interpretation, fearing criticism,
stunning controversy, they seek a
policy of Silence. In this, they
fail to understand, fail to appre-
ciate, the thought of the reading
public.
Here is the great test for the
editor today. His decision will
require his keenest judgment.
Knowing the reading public as no
other profession, his opportunity
for service is put to its greatest
test. In this has come the respon-
sibility Of preventing an align
ment of Glasses, based on Suspi-
cion, created by an unwise policy
of Silence of those in high places.
On this rests the success of our
institutions and growth of our
society-more than we realize.
Not what to print but what not
to print is the trial of the editor
who senses the responsibility of
the printed word. He knows the
temper, the ambitions, the preju-
dices, the secrets, the delicate
situations of his readers and their
activities more than any man. To
print or withhold the facts to the
best interest of society is a re-
sponsiblity capable of any man
and worthy of his highest ambi-
tions. When and when not to
adopt the Policy of Silence is the
issue. Silence and ease or Facts
and a contest, Truth and man
hood, playing fair with his read
ers, or Silence and cowardice.
