FLOWERS
Written For The Evening Journal
BY Edward De Lac0ur.

I have heard it and read it often,
friends,
In speech and in pleasing rhymes,
That flowers are always acceptable
gifts
I'm glad and in sorry times.
The pansies we send with thoughts OF
thee.
When friends are far apart:
The violets blue, will always be true
To the one that is nearest the heart.
The stately white lilies, that are
called by some
The choicest flowers that bloom.
Have a twofold mission, as we know
well,
At the altar and at the tomb.
The roses fair, that come with a rush
When all nature is in tune,
We freely give with a lavish hand
To the sweet happy brides in June
So send me the pansy or fragrant rose
When you see me having glad
times,
The stately white lily or violet blue
When you see me in sorry times.

A COWARDLY CRIME.

NE )NEY and intelligence effort should be expended
IVA freely apprehend and bring to justice the cow
ardy miscreant who. by the Of dynamite. wrecked
the home Of Joel Pierce. the Concord turnpike.

The crime was a peculiarly dastardy one. The dy-
namiter placed the blast and exploded it while the
members Of the Pierce family sound asleep.
Fortunately for them they escaped with slight in
jury Notwithstanding the IN which they were
sleeping wrecked and they and the bed they
cupled hurled from the second floor to the first
floor.
The thing that mystfes the Pie~ces and the nvest-
eating officials is the motive that prompted the
crime So far is known, the Pierces have had
trouble with anyone. They are quiet. inof-
fensive persons. highly respected by all who know
them. That makes the situation all the more alarming
to the public because. if the dynamiter be crank who
has fixed motive there is telling where his next
bomb will be exploded He should be captured and
placed behind the bars the Workhouse or the State

FIGnT sERYICE APPRECIATEn.

+ OCAL interest in the Willard-Moran boxing bout
II in Madison Square Garden Saturday night
intense That shown clearly by the fact that,
while the fight was in progress, between 5000 and
1000 persons packed the streets in front of THE
EVENING JOURNAL building to hear the bulletins
from the ringside and by the further fact that be-
tween 1000 5000 persons purchased copies OF the
special edition OF THE EVENING JOURNAL, which
put the street few minutes after Willard had
won the battle. It the only special fight extra
issued in this city. .
In view OF the late hour at which the fight ended

We desire to thank the public for It's attitude,
and TO inform it that it is such tangible evidence
OF appreciation that mpels this and other newspapers

Certain Lessons From Texas
CFrom the New York SUM

forces in Mexico as a complete fail
ure.
Such messages as do get through
are so garbled as to require several
hours in their DECIDING.
1T is believed the outlaw wireless
may be responsible for the difficulty.
"The second failure is the areo-
planes. and this is said to be no fault
Of the birdmen. but the type Of plane
is too cumbersome and too slow and
too dangerous for close observation
work"
The outlaw wireless" IS now the
object OF search by army men, agents
of the Department Of Justice and of
the Department Of State. It must be
a powerful installation to render the
military outfit "a complete failure" or
else the military instruments must be
riliculously inadequate. Would the
same story be told if the country we're
at war?
The aviators are daring and enthu-
siastic, but inexperienced, and their
good will and valOr are nullified by
machines too cumbersome, too slow
and too dangerous for close observa-
ton work" Apparently the aero
planes belong with the machine guns
that are practicable only in the day
time; certainly they properly scout
for men unprepared for the task they
have undertaken.
In devotion, in bravery. in all that
men and officers unaided by intelli-
gent. far-seeing and provident admin
istration can offer, the regular army
deserves all praise. These cannot
and will not be blamed for the weak
nesses and the failures that have been
revealed. They are working with the
tools OF a Government blind to their
needs provides, under the handicaps,
ineniciency and ignorance in that Gov
ernment impose; they are the imme-
diate sufferers from its blindness and
folly Is it too much to hope that the
exposure of the plight in which they
struggle to do their duty will open
the eyes of the men who are respOn-
sible for unnecessary suffering?

SHOULD NOT rNDERRATr Villa.

Will be wise for those who have gone into Mexico
TO take Francisco villa. dead or alive TO remember
that although he is a bloodhirsty monster who COM
mandS poorly-equipped force he is a brave fighter
and wonderfully resourceful leader when operating
in territory with which he is familiar.
The worst mistake that be made now is for
the American officers and men to underrate him in
those respects Such a may lead TO disaster.
When dealing with such as he it is the height
unwsdom 10 "send boy 10 do a mans errand."
The force put in the field to take him should be so
large that il he and his make a stand. they will
be defeated signaly while they continue
they will be down and captured a result
Of exhaustion
AS the pursuit is 10 be carried to a finish. every
agency that shorten should be called play
by the War Department. Meanwhile Americans should
heed the appeal made 10 them by President Wilson TO
refrain from doing anything saying anything that
will give oense to the Carranza Government and the
Mexican people II should be kept in mind that the
chief publicity effort Of the friends OF villa this
time is to bring about between the United States
and Mexico Most OF them look upon it Villas only
salvation, because he possibly wage an efec-
tive resistance against the United States Mexico so
long as those two nations are acting in concert
against him.

TRAFFIC. POLICEMEN AND 4TOOTsIETHERMs.n

TRAFFIC POLICEMEN AND ~TOOTsIETHERMs."
RElNG traffic policeman in Winter is not cinch
- under the best of conditions Being one in Will
mngton in that season OF the year carries with it
hardships which arouse the sympathy Of all who see
the men on duty especially when the temperature is
low and the weather wet or snowy
Thousands Of Wilmngtonians have cur traffic
men, when on duty during the Winter just closed,
stamping first foot and then the other foot and
beating their their chests in vain efforts
to keep warm. Invariably feeling Of pity has been
experienced for conseryators of the public peace and
safety thus situated
In that connection take pleasure i'm calling the
attention OF our city officials and citizens 10 the follow
ing article the "tootsetherm," which find in the
Municipal Journal:
In Winter in Northern cities traffic policemen whose
duties keep them standing at street intersection
nine or ten hours day suffer severely at times from
cold feet literally and physically. Early in the Winter,
the City Council Of Pittsburgh Pa. took up the sub
ject Of installing some device to ameorate this dis
comfort. Drew Johnston, OF the DuQuesne Light Com
part. consulted and he invented the "Tootse-
herm" footwarmer as its name indicates, which has
proved successful.
The "Toosietherm" is plate 1SIb incres square aud
~ inches thick which is connected with an electric
plug and switch pole at the street corner, current
being conducted through flexible armored cable. This
method was adopted in preference to stationary
heater in hut at the curb corner which would have
been constant temptation In cold weather ior' me
policemen to neglect their duty. When he leaves ms
post when the weather is not severe. the officer
carries the heater the curb and pulls the plug from
the socket
The switch controlling the heat permits OF four
temperatures, which be changed to meet the
weather demands. AT time does the foot plate de-
velop temperature that will burn the soles OF the
shoes The idea is not so much TO warm cold feet
to keep The feet from getting cold. For all ordinary
weather conditions the heater be operated less
current than is required for two ordinary 40-watt
bulbs such as are used in residence Illumination
The season is too far advanced, Of course, to sug-
gest the immediate adoption Of that plan here. We
think however that before next Winter opens each OF
our traffic policemen should be supplied With Of
these "toosieherms" that his present unpleasant
and pneumona-breeding work may be made pleas
anter and less dangerous.
Warm feet mako for warm body good health and
efficient service.

DUPONT VERSUS SALISBURY.

From the Harrington Journal.
The cry has frequently been made
Of late, that U. s. Senator Henry A.

Congress, because he is "too old to be
active In his appointment of Hall
Downes, the son of very active DEM
ocrat, Of Dover. to the United States
Naval Academy. Senator dupont has
proven tnat. regardless Of his age,
he is far in advance of his Democratic
contemporary, Senator Salisbury,
when it comes to looking after the in
terests of Delaware and her sons. Sem
ator Salisbury has kept young
Downes in suspense for over a year,
and has told him that he couldn't pos
sibly get him into Annapolis before
next February, Q91O. Senator dupont
does the trick at once, which proves
him not only an able, alert and influ-
ential Senator; but an impartial one
as well, when it comes to a matter Of
Delaware's interests.
