BRILLIANT DANCE
NEXT FRIDAY
Many Strangers Plan Visit To
Newark

The Junior Promenade to be Civ
en- by the class of 1917 in the new
town Armory next Friday evening
promises to be one of the most bril-
liant dances ever held at Delaware
College. This dance is always the
crowning event in the college So
cial year. For several months the
committees composed of members
Of the Junior class have worked
earnestly to make this dance a sue
cess in every way-one that will
be worthy of the class and a credit
to the college as we'll.
This year on account of the in
crease of the students in atten-
dance at the college and the great
interest shown in all college acti-
vities by friends on the outside,
the new town Armory has been
rented for the dance so that every
one will have plenty of room to
dance and nobody's pleasure will
be spoiled by crowding. Besides
there will be available cloak rooms
and dressing rooms for the ladies
a condition impossible when the
dances were held in the college
gymnasium. Supper will be serv-
ed in the basement.
Although the decorations will
not be so elaborate as those of
last year, the class will make the
building extremely attractive. The
college colors and pennants of 9TH
er colleges will be prominent fea-
lures of the scheme of decoration,
as will also several novelties
which the Juniors hint mysteri-
ously will surprise and delight all
who are so fortunate as to Sc
ethem.
Music probably does more to
make or mar a dance than any
other one thing. The members of
the Junior class have obtained
what is generally admitted to be
the best music for dancing in this
part of the country-Oglesby's
Orchestra of Chester, Pa. Mr..
Ogelesby himself will conduct his

was told that the football men
were training in order that they
might win their games. Why
train, young men, for only a few
weeks of the year? Why not. train
every month in the year? If it
will help you win athletic battles
will it not help you win intellect
ual ones also?
But important as the physical
condition undoubtedly is, it is
not everything. What if you can
dash so many yards in so many
seconds, a horse can perform the
feat in less time. In the physical
world we can not even compete
with the animals. A baby was
born the other day that weighed
three hundred pounds. Yes, it is
the truth, but it was a baby ele-
phant. The world wants you,
young men, to know something,
and know that you know some
thing. Athletics and physical ex-
ercises help you to build we'll a
foundation, and a strong body is
the foundation of a successful
life. But there is more than
body, there is brain. A man
should be as ashamed to come to
class with a poorly prepared les
son as he would be to put his
hand in a fellow students pocket
and steal a dollar. The lag
gard in college usually becomes
the laggard in the business
world. The fellow looking for a
snap in college, looks for a snap
outside, and usually isn't worth a
snap. w. E. Gladstone graduated
first in his class in mathematics
and first in languages. You may
think of what use will these
things be to me in after life? I'll

months But you forget their

The Republicans Are Victorious

Charles Evans Hughes will apparently be the next President of the United States Early last night when the republican candidate carried New York and Illinois, the democratic hosts lost heart and although optimism apparently regned at demo- cratic headquarters it apparent that Woodrow Wilson had been defeated for reelection.
 The significant feature of the returns the decided trend toward Hughes pivotal states Experienced politicians long acknowledged that New York would elect the next President When the Empire state piled up large majority for Hughes, and Illinois followed sut republican victory was assured
 The eastern papers in their first editions proclaimed Hughes the winner and the later returns despite surprising strength shown by Mr. Wilson in the New England states confirmed this announcement.
 The voters apparently, were not dominant factor While Mr. Hughes frank avowal in favor of suffrage expected to win for him voters, the slogan for Wilson, He kept out of war; not without it's weight and boiled in the suffrage states that might have gone for Mir. Hughes.
 The republicans have a regained the prestige lost when Colonel Roosevelt split the party and caused the defeat of Mr. Taft but this is time for pessmism. MT
 Hughes is conservative He will doubtless make good President The Ageerald keeny regrets the defeat of MT Wilson and feels that he should have been reelected He worked for the people While not be true that the peo pie ungrae they have spoken and the country must abide by their decision There to believe that the prosperity enjoyed during the past few years will it likely that the election of Mr. Hughes new comp cations with European powers
 Although defeated the record of Mr. Wilson and the demo cratic party will stand The constructive legislation which had
 made the Wilson administration of the greatest in the his tory of the United States will survive The republicans will not dare nuy it. The democrats have the consciousness of having done their duty Mr. Wilson has fought the good fight and lost All honor to him. His place history is assured It remains to be whether not Mr. Hughes will give as good of himself public the head of this great nation.
