THE BEST CONTRIBUTIONS

To Delaware Parents: The best
contributions you can make to
Delaware College and the Wom-
ems College of Delaware are
your sons and daughters who are
of college-going age.
1t is your duty to assist DR..
Samuel Chiles Mitchell, presi-
dent of "Old Delaware" and Miss
Winifred J. Robinson, dean of
'New Delaware" to build up a
large enrolment for the year.
They now are engaged in the
work of getting new students.
Wherever their quest may carry
them, they should be received
with appreciative and sympathet-
ic spirit. They are seeking to do
something for the good of our
State, especially for the boys and
the girls.
If Delaware College and the
Women's College are to be appre-
ciated and used by persons resid-
ing outside our State, they first
must be appreciated and used by
persons residing within our State.
President Mitchell and Dean
Robinson cannot very consistent
ly appeal to parents residing out
side the State to send their boys
and girls to Newark to be educat-
ed if the two admirable State in
stitutions there be fouted by par
ents residing in our own COM
monweath.
No harder blow can be struck
at Delaware College and the Wo-
mems College by Delaware par
ents than by sending their chill
dren to outside institutions to re-
ceive courses of instruction that
are taught in our two colleges.
We hear much in these days of
the buy-at-home principle. 1t has
become slogan. If it be right tc
buy at home, if prices and quail,
ties be right, why is it not also
right to be educated, at home, if
equipments, courses and faculties
be right, and if, in addition to that
thanks to public and private be-
nevolence, there be no charge fol
tuition?
All Delawareans who believe in
the value of higher education anG
who would send their children
out into the world buttressed by
the possession of it, should adopt
for their slogan: eve will send
our children to our home col.
legs, to be educated in socia,
and moral environment which we
know to be good, and under the

GET REGISTERED

With the announcement OF
Registration Day, we can we'll
say the Campaign has begun.
Never to our minds, has the duty
of the voting citizen been more
imperative than it is today. Nor
can this duty be fully performed
at the polls on election day. Not
only can it be fully performed at
that time, much of it's effective
ness will be lost if the voters do
not take very prominent part
Just who the candidates will be.
Out here in the rural districts
we hear, always, much grumbling
and complaining at the men pres
ented by the parties at the polls.
This can be completely remedied
by the voters themselves. In
stead of permitting a few men
meeting to decide just who the
candidates will be, let the voters
get registered, decide who is the
best available man and then on
the day of the primaries proceed
to name him as their candidate.
In this way only can the true re-
presentation be obtained. We
working men, farmers, mechanics
can, if we only realize it, select
our own men. Really thegrumbl-
ing and fault finding is absurd
when by the action of the pri-
mary, we are in control. We are
not speaking in generalities but
right here at home. Whom do we
want as assessor, as representa-
tive, as County officials?
The decision will be made by
vote at the primaries. We can
decide there whether any self
seeking selfish official will be
your candidate or one of our own
choosing. We can name the
candidate this year. We can see
to it that no disruption comes
about by the greed for power anc
political influence.
To register, select your mar
and vote at the primaries is the
great power today. And the ranl
and file have this power. 1t il
our responsibility and our oppor
tunity.

RIGHTS OF OPINION

Granting each and every one
the right to express his own opin-
ion according to the light and
knowledge that is his, academic
freedom in very fact, counting
discussion, rather than stunning
criticism,-these are the greatest
needs today. The man, narrowed
by prejudice and environment,
should be welcomed when pre-
senting an opinion, rather than
suppressed. He claims, and right
ly so, the privilege to express his
opinion. Though he may be abso-
lutely wrong in his conclusions,
may interpret and present his
facts at variance with the real
truth, we are in error to resent or
toss aside his conclusions. In
very truth he can say, he has the
same right to be wrong-if hon.
est, as we, better acquainted, have
to be right. Rather than suppress
we should encourage him. The
very fact that he is so interested,
and has become so bold as to reg
lister his opinion, is of good omen.
We have a man who will listen,
see his error, if such there be, and
be a more loyal champion. Sup
press him, and he becomes more
secluded, more suspicious and
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-07-05

more convinced of evils in high
places. But welcome his critl-
cism, however much in the wrong
his deductions may be, and you
have the best opportunity for
service.
1t is a matter of increasing sur
prise to us how public institu-
tions and public men resent criti-
cism of their public service. Even
do they resent criticism from the
most lowly of their constituents.
They would have these express
sions suppressed. Simply be-
cause wrong conclusions were
reached, they would bar them
from expressing their conviction.
Simply because they have, handi-
capped by an i'll expression, ex-
pressed a false Interpretation of
the real facts, or have used bad
judgment is no reason of ques-
| tioning their honesty or integrity.
History and life are full of hon
est men who are wrong. And so
will it continue if our public SER
wants discount their interest and
attempt to suppress them.
Rather, w C m them. We
may or may not agree with the
praise or the criticism, to our
mind we should serve i'll if we
suppressed the opinions of an
other. Our judgment, our loyalty
our policy, our sense of right or
wrong, in the matter may be in
error, but it's the best we have
and shall have to go at that.
This, an almost daily expert
ence of a country newspaper man,
reflects to our mind, one of the
growing tendencies of the times
That is a demand for suppression
of opinion which tend to criticise
those in high places. Men, big
men, simply oozing with kindness
and alert for service, resent crit.
cism and ask it's suppression
wherever possible. They would
proclaim traitorous any act, con.
Trajectory to their view. If sue.
cess eventually attends their eff.
forts, we go back to class, a rule
of fear. Democracy will be a fail
ure. AS yet we admit it, in part
an experiment. But by admitting
welcoming the expression OF
opinion of public questions il
open forum, it may yet be realiz
ed. At least this is our dream
and for which we hope to bt
strong enough, always, to lenc
our part.
If we interpret the word Ameri
ca Alright, it is the right and op
portunity to each and every citi
zen to express his thought ant

If such a slogan be adopted

If YOU can forge ahead, when all about you
Are hanging back and criticizlng you;
If you believe yourself when Ants hout you'
Yet keep it up till they believe it, too
If YOU can work and not be grim and grumplsh
Or being lied about, don't ever tell
Or being busy don't grow frayed
And yet don't dress too smart nor look too WE'LL
If YOU can learn to brave lifted eyebrow,
If YOU can interest doubling dame;
If you can meet Baby-stare or HighbroW
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can hear the Cause in all its phases
Mis-stated by the Ants DER and o'er
And listen to their hackneyed WORKOUT phrases
And being 1oored-just up and take the floor!
If YOU can make one heap of household labors
And just by going at them, get them done;
If YOU can hear the gossip of your neighbors,
And never breathe a word to any one;
If YOU can keep your heart and nerve renewing,
When Rumor says another chance is gone
And so hold when there is nothing doing
Except the Cause that says to you: keep on!
If YOU cantak to crowds and keep your distance,
Or walk with men, nor lose your Womans ways;
If every wrong encounters your resistance
And every right receives your honest praise;
If you can take the thread Fate may spin it,
And weave your web of Life with right will,
You'll get the vote and everything that's in it,
And what is more, you'll be Woman still!

CIVIL SERVICE

Senator Gallinger, Republican
floor leader, recently paid his
respects to the rural delivery
service as exemplified by the
present administration. He said:
"The destruction of the SER
vice is universal. I have been
deluged with appeals and pro-
tests from my own State a.
some of the other New England
States that the administration of
the rural delivery service was
indefensible; and while I have
no disposition to criticise an adj
ministration which is not of my
own party, l do think there is
great justification for some ac-
ton on the part of Congress that
will remedy the evil that exists
and that seems to be increasing.
I have great sympathy with the
suggestion that as fast as we
can safely do so, this service
ought to be extended so as to
serve substantially all of the in
habitants of the rural districts"
Delaware farmers, who have
suffered the inconvenience aris-
ing from Democratic demorali-
cation of their Republican rural
mail service cannot fail to be in
accord with Senator Gallinger
not only with respect to improv-
ing the existing service but also
with respect to extending it.

"The Democratic party certain
ly put a great bluff in its civil
service plank of the st. Louis
PLATFORM said a prominent
member of Congress. "There has
not been a time since the system
was inaugurated in this country
that it has been debauched as it
has by the Wilson administra-
ton. 1t began by making raid
on all of the fourth class postof-
fees in this country and it has
never ceased. People in the elias
sifed service have been dumped
out of the service to make way
for some political henchman.
That party is as inconsistent on
the principles of civil service as
it is on most of it's other issues"
There are certain fragrant in
stances of that abuse right here
on the Delaware Peninsula, and
they will serve to plague the
Democracy next Fall.
There was only a slight error
in the statement of Chairman
McCombs at the Democratic Ma,
tional Convention that the dele
gates had met to "place a mile
stone upon the path of the future
of the Democratic party" He
should have said tombstone"

A BLUFF MADE GOOD.

Not long ago an effort was being
made to organize wo testing associ-
alton IN the Boise valley. In this
connection a dairyman near Merfd-
ian was visited and invited to enroll
his nerd. While approving of records
Of dairy cows, to the extent that he
had long been keeping a daily milk
record and making frequent tests.
this dairyman hesitated about enter
ing testing association, saying he
would take the question up with his
son who was away TO college. A lit
tie later letter was received from
the son, which read, In part as fol-
lows:
How are you succeeding with the
association; I hope that the peonIe
will take an interest In the work
and help make It success. I know
the benefits to be derived from II
and will do all in my power to helm
in any way / can. Our herd VIII be
entered and we are out to head the
average"
The old COW has awakened my in
terest and that is what | am at this
place for, trying to find out how to
lind out how to get Just little more
out OF her.
''out to head the average" OF the pro-
posed association which was to in
clude most of the highest producing
herds of the Valley was passed no
with just thought OF Communication
for he spirit the statement displayed.
| was just a boys bluff and wasn't
intended to be taken seriously, Oh,
wasn't it, When the testers report
of the first month s work came out.
that herd did actually head the list
with an average of 46.4 lbs. of but
ter fat per COW for the 30-day period
(which was 73S lbs. per COW better
than any other herd in the assocf-
ation.l albeit seven of the IA cows
in the herd were only 2-year-olds,
and all of the COWS were nothing
but Jerseys" And now the boy says
he wasn't bluffing but meant Just
what he said and wasn't surprised at
the results of the test. This is only
the first month, however, and he will
have a right smart" to do to hold
the place he has won, for some of the
other members are after it and going
hard.
Does it pay? There are those who
say that dairying doesn't pay at cur
rent prices for butterfat and they
are disposing of their herds and go
ing into other lines; there are others
who are dairying. not because they
like the business, but because they
cccccccg, rYYYo cX Zfb& XZ6fb&
say they cant afford to quit milking
yet. Maybe the kind of cows makes
the difference. Just figure on that
46.4 lbs per COW per month record
for herd of "A cows, half of which
are in their first 1actation period.
This record was made on pasture
and hay. OF course, it is only a l. |
month record but it suggests that
even at current butterfat prices the !
old COW may be worthy of consider |
alton if her sire and dam and feeder |
are the right sort.
