That election in Delaware will be exceedingly
important one. II win involve vital county, State and
national interests.
II may decide whether the next President Of the
United States shall be Republican a Democrat.
Il may decide whether the Republicans or the Dem

executive of commonwealth.
It will decide whether the several branches of our
state Government shall be in Republican or Demo-

HIexander's "Ef"

IF the Administration ship pur-
chase bill had been enacted into law
in September or October, 1914; it
would have been possible to add one
hundred vessels of ten thousand gross
tons to our American merchant ma.
rine for the overseas trade"
In the above words, contained in a
public statement just issued by him,
Representative Joshua w. Alexander,
chairman of the House committee on
merchant marine. repeats the claim
which he has made insistently during
the last year and a half. In it he
assumes that the Federal shipping
board would have been organized and
would have expended the S50000,000
allowed it for ship purchases before
the conditions imposed by the war in
Europe had had their effect on the
cost of tonnage. The price of ocean
vessels began to rise rapidly with the
outbreak of the war. They rose from
an average market value Of forty dol
lars per ton to a basis Of one hundred
dollars q ton. Values have ranged up
to two hundred dollars a ton for two
ear-old ships and even vessels thirty
years old have fetched S135 a ton. II

or innocent.
The movement for this amendment
began years ago. and had as its in
centive the desire to preserve the
sanctity Of marriage. The rapid in
crease of divorces strengthened the
desire of a considerable portion of the
church to discourage divorce, and it
was reasoned that the church could
not hold itself guiltless if it sanction
ed the remarriage of any divorced
person.
Fortunately the lay influence in the
convention prevented the adoption Of
a policy that would have inflicted
hardship and injustice upon innocent
persons. The cure of the divorce evil
is not to be found in the punishment
of the innocent, and it is certainly a
punishment to a devout member Of
the church to deny him its good Of
fees when he is innocent Of wrong
doing.
Perhaps the debate in the conyen.
ton will have the effect of inducing
clergymen to make rigid inquiry into
the history Of any divorced person an
plying for remarriage If the clergy
man sees to it that the innocent only
are remarked, the church can never
be reproached by fair-minded men.

The Supreme Passion
(From the New York Sun.

Senator Stone, Of Missouri, in his
historic Terrace Garden speech, as
serted that he had heard President
Wilson say: MY supreme passion is
for peace"
It is interesting to recall, at this
great national crisis, that, in one form
or another. Washington, Lincoln,
Grant and Sherman gave utterance to
the same sentiment. Washington,
eloquently expressing his detestation
OF war, advised his country, in the in
terests of peace, to avoid entangling
foreign alliances. LincOln's loving
heart was well nigh broken from the
horrors Of a fratricidal conflict that
he had striven for wears before his
election to the Presidency to avert.
Upon Grants tomb on Riverside Drive
are carved the words that sprang
from his war weary soul. Let us
have peace" Sherman. the conquer
ing hero. who rent the Confederacy in
twain, in passionate revolt at the pa
triotic duty he had been compelled by
circumstances to perform, exclaimed:
"War Is hell"
Washington, Lincoln, Grant and
were. were obliged, through patriotic
motives, to curb their pacific inclina-
lions and wage war, righteous war
The first named waged war to give
our nation birth. the last three to the
end that our nation might endure.
In contrast with their records let
us set up the war record Of that pas
sionate pacifst Woodrow Wilson.
Such war as he has made had been
both wanton and ineffective, begun
through unworthy motives of personal
spite and brought to an end for rea-
sons as illogical as those underlying
its origin. When he employed our
naval and military power to capture
the city of Vera Cruz he took a step
that was iustifiable only if it resulted
in improved conditions in Mexico. Its
outcome. on the contrary, was to
bring bloody chaos to that afflicted
country. He has waged war against
Hayti, against Santo Domingo. against
Nicaragua. He has thrown a so-called
punitive military expedition into Mex
leo that has failed of its Ostensible
purpose and remains a menace TO any
satisfactory solution of our border
problems. He has modified the en-
tire available forces N our National
Guard, subjected them to the hard
ships of war, and no man today not
even the President himself. can offer
