There have, within the six weeks
Of establishment, been more than
six hundred patients treated here.
The daily average is hard to strike.
but there have been as many as
seventy patients under treatment
at one time. and on one occasion
forty new cases were admitted
within twenty-four hours. All re-
ceiv expert attention, and prac-
tically none have died. A rather
brilliant achievement, even the
least enthusiastic layman will ad
nit.
Under the long low roofs of the
two chief buildings of the hospi-
tai are to be found the following
all improved, somewhat crude and
primitive, but be well equipped for
practical work: an officer; dis
pensary; a dental surgeons office;
a laboratory; one long ward room
for the soldiers; the officers ward;
an operating room; sterilizing
plant, small but very effective; and
further away a kitchen where two
cooks turn out such good food that
one longs to be invalided for
while for the benefit of the good
diet.
In various tents there are sur
gical supplies, comprising every
thing that may be needed for the
soldier be he i'll or wounded; nor
has the necessity for ample re-
serve medical supplies been over
looked. Adjacent to the hospital
in the Base Medical Supply Depot
with its tissue room" and store
tent, the latter of which is piled
high with an abundance of all
sorts of Medical and Hospital
Supplies" from medical and surgi-
cal dressing to tentage, field cook
ing outfit, and even extra "horse
equipment" for men of the Hos
pital Corps who have to be mount
ed.
Judging from the visible stock
there will be no cause for the coun-
try to complain that the medical
department of the Army has failed
to provide all Of the necessary
medical supplies and many of the
luxuries for the sick and wound
ed soldiers.

is refreshing to find someone
in this broad land who really

Mrs. O'Neill spoke, in place of
Rt Rev +. B. HOwden, b, d., of
New Mexico, who had been
scheduled to take part in the
Flag Day celebration, but who is
promised for an address near
the Fourth of July if his many
engagements permit.
Chaplain HiIlman in introduc
ing, as he said, the correspond
ent of the two most important of
the New York dailies, the New
York Telegraph and the Brook
lyn Eagle" declared that Mrs.
.O'Neill was a fitting choice for a
speaker on Flag Day, for not on
ly mad she the honor of being
daughter to very brilliant nav
al officer who served the llag foe
a quarter of IA century, but that
every man of her line for six
generations of American history
had borne a commission in either
the army or navy-and that as
Mrs. O'Neill herself could not
follow the flag, she was giving
her time to telling the Public fine
things about the men who were
enlisted under the Stars and
Stripes.
Mrs. O'Neill spoke briefly, and
was listened to with profound
attention as she told of the fine
things that come out of the fur
mace. of war. That horrible as
is machine made warfare, honor
and devotion and self.forgetting
was the gold that shown in the
life OF the soldier who did his
part in battle, and that her OBJ.

tries and as fought by many men

' orth while thing, when it was
for love of country.
Mrs. O'Neill reminded her
hearers that they also serve
who only stand and wait" and
tho it was hard on the spirit of
the soldiers to be so near to war
without having a chance to fight,
it was as much service to the flag
to wait orders patiently, az to
rush into the fray.

"a supine submission to wrong and
injustice and the subsequent loss
of national self-respect" could
president of today have met emer-
gencies no more serious!
In attempting to raise false is
sues as to the end aimed at by the
Presidents policy, and in silence
and evasion as to the means chosen
to attain those ends, the Democrat
ic defenders of the Administra-
ton openly confess the weakness
of their own case before the Amer
lean people. Respect for the good
intentions of President Wilson is
not by any means inconsistent
with a vehemet reputation of his
methods, and it is this reputation
that forms the basis of the appeal
to the nation for a new lteersman
at the helm who will keep
straight course for the national
goal - the safeguarding of it's
honor and greatness.

DISHONEST CAMPAIGNING

Although the present national
campaign has been unusually free
froI2 personal mud-slingi2g, It has
beer marked by methods O" cam
paigning that are thoroughly dis
honest. And the chief offenders
in this line are the suppoa ters of
President Wilson in general and
his principal newspaper advocate
in New York in particular. The
President himself may really be-
lieve that only by his reelection
can the nation be saved from war,
and that his own policies in deal
ing with our international rela-
tions are the only ones by which
peace has been preserved. But
who can believe that there is even
the faintest pretcnse of sincerity
in the repeated declarations chat
are being made in his behalf about
Mr.. Hughes sneers at peace" the
assertions that it is the purpose of
the Republicans to invade Mexico
as soon as they gain control of the
Federal Government, that the Re-
publican party is opposed to short
err hours for labor and is antagon-
istic to the laborer, and that it is
bent ION committing the country
to foreign war and industrial con-
flict at homc?"
Nothing more deliberately dis
honest is to be found in the annals
of American political controversy.
Mr.. Hughes arrangement of the
president is not and never has
been because he has kept the
peace. The counts of the inGict-
nent to do with the means, not the
end, and none knows this better
that those who are striving to
cloud the issues and defame the
Republican candidate and party.
After the example given the coun-
try by President Cleveland of
brave an dresolute methods in
dealing with industrial disturb
ances at home and with complica-
lions with foreign nations, it is an
insult to the American people to
ask them to believe that only by

NOT MAKING GOOD

When the present Democratic
Administration went into power, i
went in on a platform which prom
Used the people reduction in thu
high cost of living Here is thu
exact language Of the plank il
the platform:
The high cost of living is
a serious problem in every
American home. The Republic
can Party, in its platform, at
tempts to escape from re-
sponsibility for present condi-
tions by denying that they are
due to a protective tariff. We
take issue with them on this
subject, and charge that ex-
cessive prices result in
large measure from the high
tariff laws enacted and MAIN
tanned by the R epub lean
Party and from tariff laws en-
acted and maintained by the
Republican Party and from
trusts and commercial con-
spiracies fostered and encour-
aged by such laws, and we as
sert that no substantial re-
lief can be secured for the
people without import duties
on the necessaries of life are
materially reduced and these
criminal COnspiracies broken
up"
In other words our Democratic
friends charged the high prices tc
he Republican tariff laws and as.
serted that the only relief was tc
De found in a material reduction
If that tariff. Going into power If
1913, they proceeded to reduce thu
,ari.f, but has anybody seen any
evidence of "relief" in the high
cost Of living? Have the prices or
the necessities of life" been re
luced under the Democratic tar
if? 1t is almost unkind to ash
he question-tO put this Demo
ratio promise alongside of one,
meat bills and grocery bills ant
bread bills and all the rest. W.
would not do it, were it not fol-
the fact that our Democratic
friends are always harping OF
this economic fallacy, and once il
awhile fool the people into follow
ing them. They did in 1912, to ;
certain extent; and it is therefor,
in order to remind the folks, VIII
believed that Democratic promise
that under Democratic free trad
prices have risen to the highcs

In Memoriam
John 6. Stockly

John c. Stockly, whose funeral
took place on September 3Oth de-
serves more than a passing notice.
His father, Ayres Stockly, was
long connected with the Smyrna
Bank either as cashier or presi-
dent. He came to Smyrna when a
young man, from Accomac Coun-
ty, Virginia. He married Margar-
ct Offley of Quaker family long
identified with Kent county.
Mrs. Ayres Stockly's father was
a grandson of John Cook, who was
the father Of that John Cook who
was member Of the "COmmittco
of Safety" in the Revolution, an
associate judge Of the Superior
Court Of Delaware, and who sue
cGeded John Dickinson as Gov
ernor Of Delaware. Mrs. Ayres
Stockly's mother was the daugh-
ter Of Captain William Clark, faith
err Of Governor John Clark.
Great affection existed between
the Governor and his neice-his
death seriously affecting her
health. Her first son received his
name. Her other son, Ayres
Holmes Stockly, named for his
father, had Holmes" inserted in
honor Of a DR.. Holmes, one of Mr..
Stockly's early friends. Both John
and Holmes" Stockly had fine
minds as exhibited at Delaware
College-the latter being among
the leaders of his classes-but
John StOckley was understood to
be nearer perfection in his recita-
ton than any other student. This
means much when it is remember
ed that the college had then such
noted students as William d.
Mackey, John G.. Mccullough, and
Adam E. King.
As near as the writer, his col
lege roommate, can remember
after the lapse of over sixty years,
John Stockly studied hard for con-
science sake and the love of learn
ing with no reference to mere am
bition or student rivalry.
His course was made up of the
subjects which he purposed to
master, which being done, he left
college after about three years
work. He was kindly, dignifed,
and polite; was greatly respected
and his departure was accounted a
loss. He took no part in social
life, or even the few college sports
of that day, nor in college politics
except that he was a devoted
member and partisan of the Delta
Phi Society. Society" rivalry was
very keen at that time.
His life was spent mostly in
Smyrna. A former superintendent
of the Smyrna School, Prof. LIE
Fevre, was an honorary pail bear
err at the funeral. He told the
writer that Mr.. Stockly gave him
most valued advice and assistance.
Mr.. Stocl1ly undoubtedly was
student and scholar throughout
his life. His mentality, his indus
try, his scholarly tastes and sing
ular devotion to any purpose he
had in view, would in one of the
older countries, have resulted in
his becoming a noted man. He was
long a trustee of Delaware Col |
lege and shared with the late
Manlove Hayes the work that had
to be done while beside them had
either the time, the taste or the !
fitness for it, such as helping to
decide upon the curriculum, the !
courses of study, the examina-
tions, the credentials of applicants
for professorship, and ways and

STUDEBAKER TO
SET new MARK

Although the Studebaker Corpora.
ton established new production rec
ord for the first quarter OF this year,
it is said that the present three
months are certain to far surpass the
previous period from the standpoint
of production and sale ofscars.
Sales of Studebaker cars for the
first quafter ending March 81 were
1882 machines, as compared with
9400 for the same period the previous
year, an increase of Is per cent, and
this will be greatly outdone this quar-.
ter. The completion of the new ST.
O00, 900 factory extensions will be a
considerable factor in enabling the
Studebaker concern to increase its
output for the present quarter, and
the easing up of the freight situation
is expected to make it possible to ship
all the cars that can be built. With
the largest selling organization in its
history, numbering 500 dealers. the
problem of distributing this years out
put will not assume any great diff
