JUDGE MARYErs coon WORK.

TORMER JUDGE DAVID T. MARVEL Of this city.
II deserves much credit for the work he has done in
obtaining for the State portrait Of Judge James
Sykes, Of Delaware, who, a Presidential elector
voted for George Washington for President. II is a
valuable addition TO the collection OF portraits of dis
nnguished Delawareans that now graces the state
House
The thanks Of Delawareans also should go out to
that descendant Of Judge Sykes who made it possible
FOR former Judge Marvel to perform the pleasing func-
ton OF preserving the portrait for posterity
In his day and generation Judge Sykes was big
man in Delaware. One Of the Offices held by him was
that Of Judge Of the Court OF Errors and Appeals
He figured So conspicuousy in the early history Of
Delaware that special pains should be taken TO pre-
serve 'eyerythng that is obtainable regarding him..

The Democrats in Congress have
sold out to the Germans. They have
turned over the machinery OF our
legislative branch to the agents of the
German Government in this country
The party which abandoned our Lus-
itania dead and fled every subsequent
duty Of national protection has now
proposed to bargain away the last
semblance of self-respect and inde-
pendence against the Elusive hope OF
German-American votes next Novem-

Terrified by the fact that at last the
executive branch Of our government
has begun to perceive that no con-

the German agents have gone to the
Capitol, they have established them

Not since Abraham Lincoln was
chosen to sit in the White House has

has deliberately betrayed American
interests and is seeking to surrender
American right to Germany.

The Democratic Pledge Was "a Tariff for
Revenue"
Trom the washington Post.l

The repeal Of the legislation maxi
ing sugar free after May is the
proper thing TO do for the country in
view Of the governments need Of
revenue.
1t is well known that Senator Brous-
sard and other Democratic Senators
and Representatives strongly opposed
this legislation when il was proposed
and that there was much backing and
filling upon the part OF the officials Of
the administration responsible for il
when they found that so many strong
men OF the Democratic party de-
nounced II as political mistake and
an economic blunder
Every day since the administration
forced that measure into enactment
as law has demonstrated the falsity
of the premises upon which its advo-
Gates based it. and the results for
the two years of its existence have
been but to the injury and financial
loss of the producers Of sugar and of
the masses Of the people as we'll

Dor is also confession that existing
legislation is insufficient for those
purposes.
Il is gratifying to note Leader
Kitchin's readiness to return to the
staunch old Democratic doctrine Of
tariff for revenue in his recommenda-
ton for the repeal of the free sugar
legislation. Why not carry out that
venerated pledge of the party all
along the lines of the tariff schedules
and provide by such tariff revision
the revenues needed by the govern
ment?
That is a far more popular plan Of
providing the revenue than by i'm
pOsitio OF war taxes in time of peace.
Not a Democratic member OF either
Senate. or House but must know that
direct taxation is most unpopular
and they also know that the party for
two generations has been pledged to
enact a tariff law that will furnish
the revenues for the government
Justice is being done at last TO
Louisiana sugar producers and the
beet sugar producers of the entire
country. II 1t is a confession Of error
by the Democratic administration, VI
is also an admission Of the correct
ness of the Democratic pledge of the
tariff for revenue. Why not carry
out that pledge fully and completely
and provide necessary funds by re-
vised tariff schedules?

so-called continental army. and on
January %, in speech to the Rail-
way Business Association, President
Wilson considered their proposals and
rejected them in these phrases:
II am not forgetting our National
Guard. But you know that under
the Constitution of the United States
it is under the direction Of more than
two score States. and that it is not
permitted 10 the national Government
directly to direct its development and
organization. And that only upon oc-
casion OF actual invasion has the
President of the United States the
right to ask those men to leave their
respective States. l for my part am
afraid. though some gentlemen differ

that force can be made direct re-

ing tA sacrifice the American lives,

assured Of the votes.
This is what the situation in Wash
ington has come to- This is what the
long months of scuttle and sham have
ended in. Now when the first sem
blance of a concern for American
honor and right is revealed by the
President, the whole foul German
crew rush eagerly and hastily to the
Capitol, there to exert their influence
and manipulate their tools, there to
start a campaign OF 'terribleness," +"
designed to bring Mr.. Wilson back
into line and coerce him into aban-
doning his newly acquired regard FOR
American interests.
We now see the Hyphen in its real
perspective, in its true character. The
German American, as Bernhard fore
cast. has now set out to rule or ruin
American public life The Democra-
tic politician has become the willing
tool and the ready servant. 1t is now
the simple duty of every Republican
legislator to face this peril and this

sold out to the Germans; will the Re-
publicans sell out? If they do, there
will be a third party this fall, again,
but it will be a party Of Americanism.
not Of Progrossiveism or anything
else.
We have come to the parting OF the
ways in our national life. II is for the
Republican party to decide now which
course il will follow. The Democratic
party has chosen. II has taken the
Kaiser's shilling. It has enlisted with
the nation which destroyed Belgium,
which murdered the women and chill
dren OF the Lusitania; it has COM
pounded with felony and allied itself
with assassins. simply for the un-
clean votes it hopes to make thereby,
It will not touch its thirty pieces OF
silver. The blood money will escape
its trembling fingers. Those who are
so base are also too cOwardly to per
sist even in their baseness; but now
it is the opportunity and the duty
Of the Republicans in Congress to eX-
pose and destroy the vilest attack
upon American integrity and honor
since the days of Aaron Burr.
