TOM WILSON

Medical science gives no as
surance, but hope and the brave
good cheer of tom" Wilson in
spires his friends with almost a
faith of his recovery. The acct
dent suffered by Wilson during
Commencement is still daily
thought of citizens of Newark.
T h e accident apparently o
trifling, his display of what he
would term in a colleague as
pep" his wholesome good nat
ure,-all forbid our acceptance
of the verdict of Science. To
date, his condition is reported un-
changed. His friends ask and be-
gin to expect a miracle-Science
baffied by manhood.
So let us think said a physician

OUR FLAG

1t means America first; it
means an undivided allegiance.
1t means America united, strong,
and efficient, equal to her tasks.
1t means that you cannot be saw
ed by the valor and devotion of
your ancestors; that to each gen.
Grafton comes it's patriotic duty,
and that upon your willingness
to sacrifice and endure, as those
before you have sacrificed and en-
dured, rests the national hope.
1t speaks of equal rights, of the
inspiration of free institutions
eXemplified and vindicated of
liberty under law intelligently
conceived and impartially admin
istered.

TOWN BEAUTIFUL CAMPAIGN

For the first campaign, the
Town Beautiful Committee has
done good work. Several real
things have been accomplished.
the latest being the Waste Cans
placed along Main Street. The
Committee is to be congratulated
But, Eyes there is a butt there is
much yet to be accomplished.
There are several unsightly spots
in town that could be improved
with just a little effort at slight
expense.
They hope, too, the Tree Com
mittee will be able to report a
large planting of trees and shrub
berry this fall. And by all means
save what we have from their
usual annual hacking.
With appreciation of all this
has been accomplished, there re-
mains much for us to do. Beau
tiful the old town is, we can
scarcely yet be called a Town
Beautiful as understood by Civic
Standards. We have the oppor-
tunity. A healthy appreciation
of this, little work and the Ideal
is our.

THOSE BOYS

Newark is beginning to sense
that the blare of the bugle, the
rush and excitement conferred
around the Armory last week, is
serious. Our laugh and ra-11a is
changing to .''It looks serious"
Nearly fifty men have gone from
this town, business men with no
one hear to care for it's upkeep,
young men with families Just
starting out in life, college boys
with eye and determination on a
life work, farm boys-husbands,
lovers, sons-but our boys, all.
Tonight, they are camping at
New Castle, not as States Militia
men but sworn to the Nations
command. The husband will not
be home tonight; these will be no
songs at the Fraternity house;
some girl will laugh with a catch
in her throat; the young horse,
the pride of the farm, stands
at the pasture fence. Our boys
are in camp at New Castle and
tomorrow's order may send them,
God forbid, to the front.
Last week, we laughed, we
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-06-28

scoffed just a bit, but tonight
they have taken the oath. They
were true before but the oath
makes it seem so serious. Oh
Sentiment" says some Cynic !!
Yes, and proud we are. Going to
camp, taking the oath to defend
the flag brings out our best. And
our best always portrays some
sentiment.
We can't realize it even just yet.
Perhaps they won't go. We just
wonder. And beginning to Won
der, we feel the catch of fear
mingled with sense Of pride.
Company E is a fair representa-
ton of this community. Every
phase Of the life of Newark is
represented. Fifty of her sons
have accepted a duty and as such
sons, we hail them, half expecting
them back, half fearing their 60
ing. Proud and Sad. Cheers and
tears mingled. Why not? They
are our boys-that's all.
Across the night the Boys of
Company E, Newark is thinking of
you. A girl with a laugh and toss
of head as she dashes tear aside
is thinking of you. A mother,
boy, is thinking. You know what
she is thinking, do you, really Z?
Most of all that he'll never forget.
She's thinking of that more even
than the battle.
We know boys, you'll be brave.
We know you will fight for the
flag. We know you'll be true. Hail
you in dreams! Hail you, on
guard! We are proud of you. But
boys, most Of all, Don't forget"
Forget? Forget WHAT" Each
one of you knows most of all what
not to 'F rget." nough.
Whether you return tomorrow,
whether on the border, sentry
duty or at the front, Newark is
waking up and sensing the pride
they have in you. Whether you
have accepted this call in the
spirit of excitement or of sober
sense of duty, you have cone that
which stands for the all we can
ask-otfering your service for the
defense of the Nations flag and
honor, as interpreted by the Ma
tion's chief. No more perhaps
than performing the routine du-
ties of citizenship but with our
old Morse blood, offering a life.
If Honor as you see it, calls forth
our highest praise. At the front,
or home tomorrow you are at
heart heroes, always. Don't for
get, and come back to US men.
You have our love, keep true our
honor. In scant exchange, we
pledge our best to home and those
you leave in our care. Such is the

NEWARK--A WONDERFUL TOWN

The population Of Newark has
increased nose during the past
ten years than any town on the
peninsula.
Today there are not enough
houses to meet the normal de-
mand, to say nothing of the tran
silent labor.
More money will be spent IN
increasing manufacturing faci-
lities than any town in the State
of the size of Newark.
Close to 1-2 million dollars will
be spent by the college in build
ing operations, during the next
twelve months.
Newark has the largest me-
chanic's pay roll in the State &C
cording to conservation per
capita estimate.
Newark has the best railroad
facilities of any town on the
peninsula excepting only the city
of Wilmington.
With the State College for
Men the Women's College, the
State Experiment Station, the
Farm, the Red Mems Home, this
town is the center of interest to
more people than any town in the
State.
1t has the finest Opera House
in the State, outside of Whining
ton.
1t has Fire Protection facili-
ties, unsurpassed anywhere.
A Sewer System and Streets
rapidly nearing completion to
compare with the best.
Wonderful, aren't we? First in
so many things that we are temp
ed to rest on our laurels, we have
fought for and won.
But wait, we havn't a Town
Building. There is no Public
Library, no Reading Room. Our
Schools do not set the pace with
many throughout the State Cen
ter Depot is not as respectable as
our Public Livery Stable. Our
Water supply for the town is not
sufficient for emergency, not
even so much on storage as the
Continental. Town Beautiful is
mostly talk, and Nature. We
havn't done much. There isn't
a n organization representative
of the Community that have these
things in mind. We havn't a Pub
lie Park, play ground. We need
lots of trees-look at Dover. Our
Board of Trade is dead except in
the Post Directory. Really there
are lots of things to do before we

T. RS Political Power

They put low estimate on Col
onel Roosevelt's patriotism who
treat his statement of yesterday
as graceful political valedictory.
In declining to lead a hopeless
and foolish third-party movement
and in advising his friends to
vote for Mr.. Hughes and thus end
Mr.. Wilson's maladministration
of national affairs, Colonel Roose-
welt is not taking his shoulders
from the wheel. We do not be-
lieve that while he lives and en-
joys the health that all Ameri-
cans join in wishing him, the Col
onel, efficient person as he is, cap
able of terminating by inaction
the chapter n history which is to
preserve the memory of his hon.
orable deeds.
Every friend of real American
ism, of America first and Of ade-
quate preparedness, every sup
porter of the cause which it has
now fallen to Mr.. Hughes to rep
resent at the polls owes a debt of
gratitude to Colonel Roosevelt
for his fine and consistent atti-
tude since he issued his stirring
call to duty from Trinidad nearly
four months ago. Those who
with full faith in his personal
sincerity accepted at face value
his declaration Of political disin-
terestedness made no mistake if
they expect from him from now
till November, everything that
such a man can do for his coun-
try until that is established for
which he is hoping, heart and
soul.
Colonel Roosevelt is born
leader of men and he knows how
to strike when the iron is hot.

of the hospitality of Newark.
With all these teachers in our
midst, we are again placed on
our best behavior. These young
women and young men are with
us for six weeks. Our attitude
toward them will have much to
do with their impressions of the
spirit Of College town. They
will carry their impressions back
to their respective communities.
Our welcome, with the little
courtesies easily in our power,
will do much toward the pleasure
and success of their stay with us.
Nor think they alone are the
beneficiaries. We can, by the
cultivation of their acquaintance,
learn much from them. Their at
titude and point Of view. repre-
sentative Of other sections. will
add to our knowledge of the
trend of education and life in the
State. BY this association and
interchange of ideas, we shall

than a passing welcome. Upon
these teachers here rest largely
churches will give them more tn

DEMOCRATIC CIVIL SERVICE

The last great Democrat to
grace the White House, Grover
Cleveland, thought "a public Of
flee is a public trust" In 1908,
Senator Bayard, a distinguished
Democrat of Delaware, describ-
ing the conditions which made
necessary the development of the
Civil Service, said:
No man obtained an office ex-
cept he was violent partisan,
and the Office was given to him as
reward for party services; and
so things went on until the of
fees generally were filled under
that system-a system which is
absolutely fatal to the integrity
of republican institutions, l care
not what party or under what
name it may be organized and
carried on"
But the Democratic states
manShlp-to use questionable
term-of later years, is of a dis
tinctly different brand. Not on
ly do Democrats raid the merit
system with an effrontery never
equalled before, but, in 1916 they
boldly step forth and boast about
it.
Congressman Thomas, of Ken
lucky, Democrat who has Serv-
ed in the last four Congresses,
states, with not a word of CEN
sure from his Democratic col
leagues:
81 am utterly opposed to this
so-called civil service or merit
system, except perhaps in the
Departments in Washington City.
| believe that a Congressman
knows more about his district
than any Civil Service Commits
sion that ever existed. | believe
a Congressman is better qualified
to name the postmaster and rural
route carrier in his district than
anybody else. So l am against
the whole business. Call me a
spokesman if you wish, but | am
one of those Democrats who be-
lieve that to the victor belongs
the spoils,' and | believe there is
a competent Democrat in this
country to fill every Office in it,
Immediately after this I'M
worthy denunciation of the civil
service by Congressman Thomas,
the Democrats rose in their
might and defeated proposal to
place employees under the pro-
posed shipping law in the merit
system.
Woodrow Wilson, by his un-
precedented number of executive
orders, has set the pace in the
Democratic assault on the merit
system; but President Wilson,
while committing the fault, yet
defends the principle. Mr..
Thomas, who has not had as wide
an experience in diplomatic usage
speaks out bluntly, and expresses
the real attitude of Democracy.
Surely times have changed and
d e m rat S have degenerated
since the days of Cleveland and
Bayard.

by the survey the number of whole families includ

which have contracted the drug habit
The question under discussion at the meeting con-
ce1ned the attitude OF the law and the public toward the
drug A physician who has been addicted to the
habit for great years and who has taken thirteen
cures for the evil and spent long terms in several insttl

tending that they should be placed the same plane as
