DOWNWARD AND CUSHING.

that should be held by the legislative body OF city of
approximately 100000 inhabitants.
In the past there has been in Council scant regard
for parliamentary law and courtesy. Members have
been disposed to say what they pleased they pleased
and when they pleased, regardless OF the order Of
business and the question before the house. From
time 10 time there has been public complaint of this
lack OF decorum In fact Il has been said that in past
years there have been times when all dignity was
thrown to the winds and when neither the president
nor the members seemed to remember that there was

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
PROMPT ACTION.

From the Salisbury News.
The banquet given by the Business
Mems Association Of Salisbury Friday
night last was a gathering Of business
men and inanciers of which any COM
munity should well be proud. The
success OF a city depends largely upon
the character of its business men, and
the solidity and cohesiveness of their
organization. Salisbury has had much
experience with various trade organi-
cations, boards Of trade and other
civic societies during the past twenty
five years, and we record with regret
that very little good has ever been .ac-
complshed by these organizations for
the benefit of the city. We believe
however. that in the present Business
Mems Association. Salisbury has an
organization composed Of men who
cam be of great advantage to Sails
bury. The gathering at the banquet
on last Friday night showed this very
conclusively.

Protection is the nations prop.
Protection means Free Trade must

Protection gilds the land with gold,
Protection makes the heart more bold,
Protection keeps the dollar strong.
Protection moves mill-wheels along,
Protection does protect the man.
Protection lengthens life's short span,
Protection never fails on test,
Protection years have been the best,
Protection swings the country true,
Protection makes free-trade look blue,

puPONr BOuLEyARp OPPOSITION.

From the Dover State News.
According to a news item from Mill
ford published in the Wilmington
Evening Journal last week the oppo-
sition to the dupont Boulevard, In Sus-
sex county, is rapidly dwindling, and
there is a probability that the road
may be completed as far north as Mil
ford before next winter. Several
landowners who had at first refused to
sell land for a right for the
boulevard, have agreed to the terms
offered them and the deeds were trans
ferred last week.
We believe that the sentiment in
favor OF this splendid road will in
crease AS the road is gradually con-
structed. There has been big howl
about good roads in Delaware. espe-
cially in Kent county, during the past
winter. and residents of the rural sec
tions should now be i'm a position 10
appreciate a good road of the type
planned by General DUPONT. If this
project had gone through when first
proposed residents of this county
would not have found il necessary
to complain Of the difficulty in travel
ing from Smyrna to Dover.
We sincerely hope that General
dupont will have the same success
with his road throughout the entire
State OF Delaware as he has had
in Sussex county. And we be-
lieve that as the residents OF the State
become educated to the manifold ad-
vantages to be derived from the pro-
posed State-long highway, the General
will meet with much more co-opera-
tion than he has in the past.

Hou Great Britain Meets
Her Adverse Trade Balance

The London Statist publishes a most in
tcresting analysis Of the manner in which
Great Britain meets her adverse trade bal
ance and how she utilizes her immense re-
sources in high grade securities. The fol-
lowing extracts for man interesting study
in war financing:
The condition OF the foreign exchanges
is always a topic of interest. and there has
been some discussion as to what would
happen when our stock of American Sc
~curities has become exhausted and we are
no long able to meet the adverse trade
balance by selling or borrowing upon
Americans.
We dc not think. however. that America
need be trouble about this; II seems most
improbable that the United States or 9TH
or countries. will refuse to sell goods to
the allies. taking into account their vast
wealth and the immense quantities of Sc
~curities Of the highest class that they can
give in payment. For instance. beyond
our American securities Great Britain
possesses over G3,000.00O 900 OF other for
eign stocks OF one kind or another. and II
these are not acceptable to foreigners.

Standing of the Clubs.
BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Among the American league pitchers
nearly as tall as jess Willard are Daven-
port, Love, Lowdermilk, Bill James
Shores, Myers and Weilman.
When Maizel can play third base,
Boone will play at second permanently.
Boone's fielding is nothing less than mar
velous and he is hitting the best of his
career.
Jimmy Callahan seems to be improv
ing the Pirates. He may win out in the
first division yet.
Pipp, the Yankees infelder, seems to
be helpless when up against left-handed
pitchers.
If the Robins can win the 1916 pennant
they will be the fourth team in the east
ern end of the circuit in four successive
wears to win the flag. But can they do
it?
Bob Shawkey is now having the best
year Of his baseball career, for when he
was a member of the Athletics he was
never rated as a star, but now he is rated
as one Of the best.
The Cleveland club in the American
league has signed Otis Lambert, pitch
er formerly with Topeka, Kan. Lambert
Is six feet, three inches in height and
weighs 100 pounds.
1t is peculiar how often the Washing
ton team in the American league has cut
in on the pennant chances Of the Indians
in the American league. The games thus
far this season 60 to show that they can
still be relied upon to do a lot of damage
TO the Clevelsnds' pennant prospects.

his best TO win flag for the Cleveland
fans. Joe Csntillon's Washington team
took three out Of four in the latter part
OF the season when the fight was the
