Will DECEIVE No ONE.

VGTOULD-BE wreckers of the Republican party in
w Delaware have put third ticket in the field.
pleasing feature OF the situation is that there
no excuse for the existence OF such a ticket
The Republican and the independent voters in our
State are fully cognizant OF that fact.
They will govern themselves accordingly
No ticket ever put in the field with less excuse
and poorer prospects than the referred to above
The action of the would-be party wreckers in using
the names of certain regular Republican candidates on
their ticket for the purpose Of deceivng and mslead
ing the voters will not avail them Time will show
the truth embodied in that assertion.
No true Republican and no man who values his DO
sition in the eyes OF true Republicans will give to
that third ticket either encouragement or support
II has been put in the field for purpose and for
one purpose only. That is to wreck the Republican
party II will fail In the accomplishment OF its pur
pose. The true and earnest Republicans OF Delaware
win know how TO deal with It; with tho woud-be
party wreckers who responsible for being in
the field, and with any man. matter who he may
be- who lends his influence TO give to it a semblance
Of political respectabiity.

Manufacturers of shoes in this
country have the war TO thank for
saving them from being deluged with
cheaply made shoes from England and
possibly from competition with the
cheap labor of the Orient, according to
William +. Peters. president OF the
Peters Manufacturing Company of this
city.
Mr.. Peters company is importer and
producer Of various articles that go
into the making OF shoes. and its
agents have found that the Underwood
tariff is so one-sided that three gem
erations OF them have decided that
they will not vote for the Wilson
party. They were Cleveland gold
Democrats and believed that the
Democratic party stood for a tariff for
revenue as stated by Grover Cleve-
land. but Mr.. Peters is convinced that
the party is collecting tariff only in
a mad scramble to even up for the two
billion dollar Congress.
Mr.. Peters is in warm accord with
the Heralds editorials on protection.
He sees in the present operation of
the Underwood tariff a grave menace
Of cheap labor in his own particular
line Of business, If not in many others.
He believes in such a measure Of pro-
lection as will save the American la
borer from competition with the cheap
labor Of the Far East.
Thanks the Herald.
"In the first place." said Mr.. Peters.
81 wish TO thank the Herald for taking
up this uhiect, because it is so vital to
all business The present administra-
tion, in its mad scramble for money, has
now started in to collect tariff dues on
raw materials, such as certain grades
of crude rubber used In the cement
which goes into every pair of shoes that
is made Roots and shoes are on the
free list, so here we have the spectacle
of free trade on the finished product
opening IL to the competition of the
cheap labor of all the world, while OK
acting a duty on raw material. No
business man can understand such utter
unsoundncss.

The Methodist Union.

The general conference Of the
church has voted to unite the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, South, with
the main body, and adopted plan
of unifica ton.
Thus ends schism of seventy five
wears, which has outlived by nearly
half century the issue which caused
it. The Methodist church split on
the slavery question. The main body
of that church fought slavery from
the first with practical zeal that
can not be overpraised. In 1850, the
general conference adopted a rule re-
curing preachers who owned slaves
to set them free, and urging lay own
ers to take similar course. Nine
wears later it forbade its members to
purchase or sell slaves. In 1916, it
prohibited shareholders from holding
office in the church, though making
executions in favor of southern states
which had laws forbidding emanci-
patton.
Finally. in 1914, the general con-
ference passed a resolution ordering
a bishop, who had become the owner
of slaves by marriage, to abstain
from exercising his episcopal func-
tions until he had severed his connec-
ton with slavery. The southerners
resented this action so bitterly that
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, was organized in Louisville,
kentucky, the next year.
1t is we'll to keep this honorable
record in mind. 1t helps one to re-
gard the other phases of Methodist
discipline more tolerantly. The
church which threw down the gaunt-
let to slavery when slavery controlled
the United States and which suffered
disruption rather than yield it's prin-
ciples has earned the right to pro-
hibit dancing and theatre going if it
wishes-though why it should so
wish is one of the unsolved mysteries.

not have the statistics at hand and

the U. S. Census Bulletin where the
true figures may be found. This suf-

vote is sS.O7 per thousand; in Colo

Last Sunday at the Presbyterian
church was held the first meeting I'M
der the permanent organization OF
the Gospel Team. The devotional
service was led by the high school
boys. Their subject had to do with
their own personal temptations. We
men gathered that we were in the
last analysis either the high school
boys greatest temptation or an aid
to better things. An eloquent appeal
was brought the audience by brother
McGinnis. Brother Gass brought us
very practical message and F. G..
Coleman, our spiritual leader, a
splendid evangelistic appeal. With
all of this and the testimonies by
members of the team our souls were
stirred as never before, and we came
away saying ''It was good to have
been there" How much better it is
to spend the afternoon of the Lord S
day in this way than as some spend
it.
