BY a Cross Old Person.

One is asked to tolerate good-hum-
oredly and even to admire young high
spirits as all so natural and simple.
1t may be natural and it may be SIM
pie, especially as simple is sometimes
synonym for fool.
But where is the consolation In a
nan being natural If he is naturally
offensive?
Why should we like a woman the
more for being simple If she is simply
vulgar?
This apology for the casting off of
good manners does not appeal to us
at all.

College To Have New Library

The work of remodeling the build
ing on the southeast corner of Main
street and Depot Road, Newark, for
merly occupied by the Newark Post,
which is to be the temporary Della
ware College library, has been started.
Many changes will be made to the in
terror of the building and it is expect
ed this work will be completed and
the books removed from the present

charge of arranging for the removal
of the books to the new quarters.
There are about 10000 volumes in

The Delta Phi Literary Society
also recently gave its library OF 5000
volumes, including many rare and val
liable editions. There are about $4,000
government documents stored on the
third floor of Recitation Hall.
The building which has been used as
the library for some years will be re-
novated and equipped. to be used as a
students social centre, as soon as the
books are moved. H. Rodney Sharpe,
chairman of the committee that has
this in charge, has arranged for the
furnishing of the building. 1t is to be
known as Purnell Hall, in memory Of

To Save An Editor

Here is a minister who appreciates
the editor. At a recent editorial con-
vention he offered the following toast:
"To save an editor from starvation,
take his paper and pay for it prompt

vertise in his paper literally. To save
him from despair, send him every item
of news of which you can get hold. To
save him from profanity write your
correspondence plainly on one side Of
the sheet and send it in as early as
possible. To save him from mistakes
bury him. Dead people are the only
ones who never make mistakes. Eek.

Liquor Advertising In Newspapers
(E E. Lamb, in Richmond Virginian).

If my school teacher, after teaching
my children, should. for consideration,
tell my children where they can get =
certain brand of whisky. and at the
same time dilate upon the supposed
virtues of said whisky, and do not
wish my children to drink whisky,
would l be justified in dfscharging my
teacher?
If my children attend church where
the preacher tells his hearers where
they can get the whisky for the least
mony. am ! Justified in the radical
step of taking hay children to some
other church to worship?
If my newspaper persists in flaunt-
ing several columns of liquor ads in
the face of my boys, and if l do not
want nv boys to drink whisky, shall
/ stop the paper from coming to my
home just as | would stop a whisky
drummer from coming to my home?
Every man who takes a paper that
advertises whisky is helping to sell
whisky. If it is wrong to sell whisky,
then he who helps to sell whisky does
wrong.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-02-05

The Republican party believes that
skilled labor is part OF the proper
national cornerstone. The nation that
sells nothing but raw material is fatcd
to be poor in peace and weak in war.
1t is the finished product, the fruit Of
skilled labor, that creates both
strength and wealth. And with this
also come independence and self-sup'
port and self-defense.
1t believes, too, that no employer
can run at full time on half orders and
a home market filled with the cheap
products of foreign lands. Nor can
he pay full time on half time running
of mill and factory. Neither can he
pay the American wage and meet sue
cessfully the lower wages of the
worlds competitive markets. The
standards of American living are WOW
en- into the industrial fabric of the
country, and these the Republican
party says must be maintained. Mills
cannot operate at a loss and remain
solvent, and they must run at loss II
proper protection is not given where
with to equaliZe the industrial condi-
tons of their foreign competition.
In such belief the Democratic party
has no faith. Its Presidential leader,
when he demanded a new tariff law,
declared that We should whet our wits
against the wits of the world. In other
words, he called for contest of Amer
lean wages against foreign wages and
standards of living. 1t is an unequa.
contest. 1t is one that has been fought
before. and ever with the same result.
Success in such a contest can only
come by the debasement of American
labor, and the consequent impoverish-
ment of all dependent upon it.
The Democratic party calls loudly
for commerce, with no apparent reali
cation of the fact that there is no
commerce where there is no merchan-
disc, nor that two-thirds of all mer-
chandise is labor. 1t has no realiza-
ton Of the truth that if We supply our
wants from things produced abroad,
some willing hands here must want
for work. 1t is because of this vast
difference in principle and belief be-
tween the two parties that today Re-
pubicanism is advancing again to
control in the nation. The things for
which the Republican party stands,
and for which it has stood and stead
tasty, are what the country needs for
its prosperous existence.

it having equal representation with
the Annual Conference.
In the matter of selecting the dele
gates. there will be very much interest
taken, since it is no small honor to be
elected delegate to this great con-
ference, which very discriminating
writer some time ago characterized
as the greatest religious convocation
since the Council of Nice.
At the session of the Annual Con-
ference, in March, there will be un-
usual concern about the matter of
appointments. 1t is generally con-
ceded that there will be big shake
up, even greater than at any time in
recent years. The appointment of
three district superintendent will
make this more likely than it other
wise would be. The Rev. E. L. Hof-
fecker, of Wilmington; Rev. Robert
Watt, of Easton, and Rev.. R. X. Ste
phenson, of Dover. will have served
their respective districts for six con-
secutive wears, and the law of the
church makes this the limit.

Bishop will name as their successors,
and he will no doubt have a good many

will be very free, if chance is given
