GLASS INDUSTRY. HURT BY DEMOCRATIC
TARIFF-HELPED BY WAR

THE manufacture Of glass is an Industry which was
built up in this country under the protective tariff
policy of the Republioai party.
Glass manufacture is now important industry in
Illinois, New Jersey. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Maryland Virginia. Indiana, Missouri West virginia.
California, Tennessee Louisiana, Oklahoma and Kan
Bas.
II is an industry that makes Of a raw material
otherwise of little use-glass sand 10 gives employ
ment TO thousands OF skilled and unsklled labores'
who. because Of such employment, purchasers OF
the products of of other industries. All indus
tries are interested, therefore, in the prosperity Of
glass production in America.
United States Geological Survey finds that there
material increase in the output Of glass sand IN
1915 1914 In seven States the increase totaled
about 1752OOO tons. 25OOoO tons over 1914. This
is interesting additional evidence that there was de-
preston in the glass industry in 1914
The Democratic tariff law made reductions on every
item in the glass schedule. Comparing the ten months
period October 1912. to July 1918 under the Repub-
can tariff with the first ten months operation of the
Democratic tariff law prior to the outbreak OF the
European war october, 1913 to July, 1914, and it will
be found that the entire glass and glassware sched-
ue there was a 81 per cent. increase in importatons
under the Democratic law.
The duty bottles. walls demiiohns, jars ETC.. plain

Cylinder, crown. and common window glass, unpol-

was 54 per cent increase importatons during the
Democratic period
Plate glass. cast polished unsilvered, received
cuts in rates in every class. The importations
show increase OF nearly 14O per cent. during the
Democratic period
Plates disk. rough cut, unwrought, for optical
purposes show the smallest increase in importation
for the periods named-22h per cent They were left

All other glass manufactures Of glass received

The glass industry got II in the neck all along the
line OF course the war has helped il out wonderfully,

THAT TROUBLE IN KENT.

~ CENERAL A. R. BENSON, of Dover chairman Of
~ the Republican State Committee gave to THE
EVENING JOURNAL, Friday, exclusive state
ment bearing upon the recent expulsion Of four
bers Of the Republican Committee OF Kent county.
What he said created profound impression in all
sections Of our State, not only among Republicans
and Democrats but particularly among wouldbe party
wreckers Who had been looking for a policy OF con-
claton in dealing with reasonable practices by So
:. called Republicans.
there one thing above all others that shown
BY General Bensons statement it is that the great
mass Of the Republican voters in the midland county
heartily approve Of what their County Committee did
in dealing with a situation that had become unbear-
able
There is a vast difference between men who engage
Ia primary fight animated by determination to win
il If they do but Of abiding by the result in any
event and men who enter such contest to win it ii
they and to wreck the party and its organization
II they cannot obtain legitimate The former
are deserving Of every consideration because they
recognize the principle Of maority rule and the
shadowing importance Of party for the public
good. The latter are deserving Of scant considera-
uon because they seek TO subordinate the public inter-
est TO their own selfish and speful interest
The Republican State Committee was elected by
Republican State Convention representing the Repub-
lican electorate OF our commonwealth It is regular
in all respects which bear fundamentally upon the
interests Of the party. The Republican committees In
Wilmington, rural New Castle Kent and Sussex also
are regular. All those committees are entitled to
the support OF men who are worthy OF being called
Republicans
When coterie OF professed Republicans holds a
meeting and solemnly decides to further movement
10 wreck that State Committee and Of those county
committees. the is Of arrant treason that is
beyond the realm OF extenuation or compromise. It
calls for drastic action for the protection Of the Re
publican party, Republican principles and Republican
practices.
Il is unfortunate that this trouble has developed in
Kent II is fortunate however, that, Il bound
TO come it has developed this early in the campaign
and in such a way that it be dealt with enec-
lively and the satisfaction Of the Republican cleo
torate intimately affected by the treason that
had upreared itself and which, il permitted TO go
challenged, might have menaced a continuance OF Re
publican supremacy in our State

The Senate committee on naval az
fairs has shown. admirable courage
and foresight in making over the
House naval appropriation bill. It has
increased the appropriation carried in
the bill by S45.S3O 900 1t has mapped
out a three-year building programme
Of its own, which will restore the
United States by 1919 to second rank
among the worlds naval powers.
The committee has turned its back
on the piffing incompetent who
has unhappily been intrusted for three
years past with the management of
the navy. He is now repenting the
fatuous advice which he has given
Congress for several years and is
eagerly trying 10 annex some credit
for the enormous betterments in the
naval establishment which are already
in sight by writing letters oongra-
tulating the House and Senate COM
mittees on having disregarded his
leadership and voted increases in
ships and personnel over his head
Having shown so much independ-
ence and intelligence in providing for
the proper growth Of the fleet, why
should the Senate committee not go a
step further and thorougly reform our
antquated system OF naval admins
tration? What the navy needs most
today is competent military direction.
We may pour out our money without
stint on the creation of a greatly en-
larged fleet But that feet will not
make a proper return on the invest

round efficiency is guaranteed by
competent handling, by the co-ordina-
tion Of all its units into complete
fighting organization. First class
ships and a first class personnel will

ing
Secretary Daniels has been able so
far to restrain Congress from Great
ing a Naval General Staff. Both the
House and the Senate were inclined
last year TO set up a Bureau of Oper-
ations in the Navy Department with
powers and functions very similar to
those Of a General STAFF. But in the
privacy Of the conference committee
the Secretary prevailed on the House
conferroes to wreck the provisions
made In the Senate for a bureau COM
petent TO assume the military direction
of the navy. All that came out of the
conference was an authorization to
Mr.. Daniels to nominate a single
Chief OF Naval Operations, who is lit
tie more than the secretary's personal
aid and publicity agent
This year the House tried to give
the Chief of Naval Operations more
dignity and independence by confer
ring on him the rank of admiral. But

admirals, vice-admirals and rear ad-
mirals all look pretty much alike TO
Mr.. Daniels. who wants 10 keep con-
troll of the navy centred in his own
hands So long as the Chief Of Naval
Operations is mere personal adjunct
TO the Secretarys Office. il will not
matter greatly what rank or title he
holds or what compensation he
draws.
The Senate committee has wrongly
fallen in with the idea of the House
that the situation can be remedied
merely by assigning a higher title
and more comprehensive duties 10 the
Operations Chief If the Senate COM
mittee's amendment stands the Chief
will be burdened with functions
which no single individual could even
begin to discharge. He will be as
signed to do a general staff's work
without the time or power TO accom-
plish one-tenth Of it, and he will be
almost as completely a personal sub
ordinate of the Secretary as the pres
ent Chief of Naval Operations is.
The only way to create a central
lied export military control in the
navy is to establish a naval general
staff as independent and permanent
as the army general staff is. Secre-
taries come and go. But a general
staff remains and builds up tradi-
tions, a military policy and military
system.
There ought to be such a body in
the navy. The present general board
is an anomaly. Its only warrant for
existence is a departmental order,
and IL can be abolished at any time
overnight II lacks the status which
Congress has given to the general
staff Of the army. II cannot look to
Congress for moral or legal support
when is activities are being abridged
by an inxperienced or hostile secre-
tary
The Senate should seize the pres
ent favorable opportunity to bring
about a vital reform in naval admin
istration Mr. Daniels prestige and
authority are at the lowest ebb His
counsel is being spurned all along
the line. His attitude toward Con-
gress is now almost servile. Why.
therefore, humor any longer the gro
tesque delusion that he and a chief
of naval operations, toadying 10 him.
are equal to the great task of develop
ing a military policy for the navy. Of
unifying and co-ordinating the activi-
ties Of the larger and costlier feet
which Congress is about to call into
existence?
Let the Senate give the navy a gem
eral staff II will be a better gift-a
surer guarantee Of eficiency-than
any mere addition of men, Of subma-
rines, destroyers, battle-cruisers OF
dreadnoughts.

WHAT ARE awAR ORDERsr

OFfiClALs and campaign managers at the present

american people as to the real character of "war

business IN the revival of American industry since the
oppression which followed the enactment of the In

to advertise the advantages to be Of
fered by Salisbury in all lines Of busi-
ness, and to attract new enterprises to
this locality. A few years ago after
the dredging Of the north fork Of the
Wicomico river new life was put into
that section of the city along Mill
street, and several new enterprises
and large business concerns we're
started in that section. Following this
improvement the Salisbury Realty
Company invested more than a hun
dred thousand dollars to open up a
new section practically in the heart
Of the city, and II was thought that
this new development would cause a
great building boom for Salisbury, and
with strong hopes that with the water
facilities and a possibility Of rail-
road siding into this property that
several large manufacturing estab-
lishments would locate be here. Up
to date. however, these hopes have
not been realized, and much unfavor-
able comment has been made by Wis
itors TO this city that the development
of this large area had not been de-
veloped There is no doubt if the
proper advertising campaign had been
made shortly after the opening Of this
property that today We would have
had several manufacturing establish
