THAT BRANDEIs CONFIRMATION.

I oUls ID. BRANDEIs is to be member of the
~ United States Supreme Court The United States
Senate by vote of AZ to %. has confirmed his nom-
nation by President Wilson
Delawareans have the happy consciousness of know
ing that their senior Senator, Colonel Henry A. du-
Pont voted against placing such a man in such
highly responsible position
No matter what sinister results attend the making
Of man Of the Brandeis type a member Of our ma
tons highest judicial tribunal Senator dupont and
most of the Republican members Of the Senate have
been wise enough by their duy-recorded votes to alb
solve themselves from any and all responsibility
therefor
In confirming Brandes the Democratic majority in
the Senate has done violence American public opin-
ion. II cannot fail to have the voting this fall
effect favorable the Republicans who have held at
all times that only men OF the highest moral and
mental attanments should sit on the Supreme Court
bench
The opposition to Brandeis strong and wide
spread Many valid reasons were advanced why he
should not be confirmed. All those reasons have been
overridden however by a Democratic majority that
forced into line by the White House whip in the
hope that such action would swing to President VIII
son in the November election a radical element which
believes in Brandes principles It is appointment

grettable thing about it is however, that it may

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
STATE SHOULD BUILD ROAD.


From the Salisbury News.
The citizens Of Powellville and vi
cinity will petition the State Roads
Commission to build road from Pow
ellville to Willard so as to
connect us with the State High
way. AS set forth in a communica-
tion in another column of this issue,
the original plan for the State High
way from Salisbury to the Worcester
county line was by way Of Powellville.
After Mr.. Miller was elected a mem
Der of the State Roads Commission
these plans were changed and the
highway was built TO Berlin parellell-
ing the tracks of the Baltimore, Ches-
apeake & Atlantic Railway Company
The people OF Powellville were, OF
course, much disappointed that the
original route of the State Highways
should have been changed. and they
have suffered for years with the worst
road in the county.
The section around Powellville and
Wango produces large quantities of
strawberries which have to be hauled
over the heaviest roads to he found in
this section. For this reason the
farmers have been discouraged in
growing strawberries and other
trucks, although they have the finest
strawberry land to be found in this
section. If the road was constructed
from POwellville to Willard. it would
give this section OF WicOmico county
an opportunity to expand and would
benefit a large section of the country
which is now practically isolated from
railroad communication. We hope
therefore, that the Safe Roads Com
mission will meet this committee with
view of constructing this highway
at very early date. The people are
entitled to this improvement, as it was
originally promised them when the
State roads were first laid out.

Contraction Offhe Wilson Foreign Doctrine
(From the New York SUM-

When President Wilson spoke very
frankly on Saturday evening before
the League to Enforce Peace on the
European war; he declared that "the
lesson which the shock Of being taken
by surprise in matter so deeply vital
to all the nations OF the world had
made poignantly clear is that the
peace of the world must henceforth
depend on new and more wholesome
diplomacy" and assuming to speak
for the American people he said;
I'VE believe these fundamental
things:
First, that every people have a
right to choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live
Second. that the small States of
the world have a right 10 enjoy the
same respect for their sovereignty and
for their territorial integrity that
great and powerful nations expect
and insist upon.
And third. that the world has a
right to be free from every disturb
ance of its peace that has its origin in
aggression and the disregard Of the
rights of peoples and nations"
Not only did the President proclaim
IL as his opinion that the people be-
heved these fundamental" things"
but he confidently asserted that:
"Son sincerely do we believe in
these things that / am sure that
speak the mind and wish OF the peo-
pie OF America when ! say that the
United States is willing to become a
partner in any feasible association of
nations formed i'm order TO realize
these objects and make them secure
against violation"
In another paragraph of this ad-
dress the President said that he was
sure that the people Of the United
State would wish their govern
ment to move along these lines:
"A universal association. of the ma
tions TO maintain the inviOlate security
OF the highway of the seas for the

vent any war begun either contrary

guarantee of territorial integrity and

Caranza Again mercedes for
Villa
CFrom the washington Post)

The United States has received an
other insulting note from the adven-
turers who pose as the de facto gov
ernment Of Mexico. A demand is made
that the American troops be imme-
diately withdrawn. The note impugns
the good faith OF the United States.
deliberately misrepresents conditions
in northern Mexico. makes false state
ments regarding the movements of
troops OF both countries. and offers
assurances which have been repeated
ly proved TO be worthless.
The unofficial outline OF the note
reveals this much How much more
may be revealed when the note is pub
lished remains to be seen. But when
the agents of Carranza at this Capital
unblusingly admit that they have ut
tered falsehoods. it may be assumed
that the note itself is another MASTER
piece of mendacity.
Al the very moment when Carranza
delivers this note, Americans at Tam
pico are protesting against Carranza's
coniiscatory orders. which, If execu-
ted will rob them Of their property
AZ the same moment. also. Carranza
orders troop movements which are not
designed to captuye villa, but menace
Gen. Pershings forces.
While Carranza protests that his
forces are capable of putting down
outlawry, he protects the chief OF the
) outlaws by objecting to the punitive
expedition.
Carranza suggests that if the United
States means what it says when il
declares that it is not seeking war
with Mexico, it will withdraw its
troops. Yet he ignores the fact that
the punitive expedition is aimed at
the extinction of a common enemy OF
both nations. He interposes obstacles
in the path OF procedure which
would avoid war. He is virtually tho

creants who rob and murder Ameri-

In the extension of time arranged
month ago for consideration of the
demands made by the four leading
railroad labor unions on the railroads
of the country there was an implicit
probability that an understanding
would be reached preliminary to the
conferences now begun here between
representatives of the unions and the
railway managements. Accordingly Il
is likely that the danger of anything
resembling a general strike in the
event of failure of conference agree
ment can be dismissed from the public
mind.
Another implicit probability in the
preliminaries to these important con-
ferences is that there will he no re-
sort to arbitration to compound the
differences between the railways and
the labor unions. whose demand is
substantially for an increase of
wages in the guise Of a demand for an
eight hour day instead of the present
day which has become the railroad
standard and to which all operating
conditions have been adjusted The
labor leaders have inveighed against
arbitration, although In recent years
It has customarily ended in material
awards to labor. Just why arbitration
is now so much in disfavor with the
unions is not obvious Tnferentially
their opposition TO the suggestion of
it assumes the likelihood that an ar
bitration tribunal would. in the course
of its inquiry. find that public regula
tion of railway rates was incompati-
BILE with continuation of unregulated
wages

versy is so great, and so much attention

BRTTAIN's NAVAL REVERSE.

Tor months the British have been daring the German

In and dig il out" should 1t persist in ignoring tho
challenge
AZ last the fleet, or large portion Of 1t, has come
out and the British cruiser squadron has received n
severe drubbing that is gratifying to the Germans
as is humiliating and exasperating to the British
The Germans did not emerge scathless from the en-
counter but the great burden Of the loss fell upon
the British several Of their biggest and cruisers
being sent TO the bottom, small accompany
ing them. The loss OF life is great
Those German ships which escaped destruction
ton IN the engagement retreated to their base as the
main feet of the British steamed up to the support
OF what remained Of the istarred cruiser squadron
Even the British admit frankly that the great adj
vantage of the battle went to the Germans
This reverse suffered by the British does not mean
however, that Germany has broken England's COM
mand of the that it will lead to British nero-
uaiions for peace II merely means doubtless. ila;
the determination to win will be strengthened and
that different story will be written when next the
1euton ships venture from their base into the waters
dominated by the British Grand Fleet
It win be recalled that when. early in the war the
Germans destroyed Admiral Craddocks squadron and
sent the admiral and many OF his men to the botton
OF the sea, il predicted that the sea prestige OF
Great Britain had suffered such blow that she would
be willing to conclude early peace That d.sastcr
however, had just the opposite effect. As quickly as
she could adjust herself the fact that she had suf
fered defeat she sent out squadron charged with the
special mission Of destroying the German ships
that had destroyed craddock's squadron How com
petely It performed its work is a matter Of compare

cient British II will be well for the Germans who
have touched them in their tenderest spot to keep
that thought in mind, lest the next important
naval news that comes from the North sea or the
Baltic be laden with story OF German disaster such
as followed the destruction Of the desroyers of Grad
dock squadron many months ago
While it is true that Great Britain has lost several
important ships. it also is true that she has many
more to throw into the line TO fill the gaps caused by
such losses Nor is it in the nature Of things that

RaiIroadRafesa and Waqe CHARGE.
(From the New York SUM

has been intelligently directed to it
that it is doubtful if the unions can
prevent the dispute from adding to the
evidence in support of public move
ment for railroad wage regulation. This
is the first time that the unions have
demanded a collective bargain of the
railroads on a nationwide basis From
the standpoint of the unions the en-
ployes might well content themselves
with little or no concession by the em-
ployss relative to wages or working
hours, if the unions gain from the rail
roads the precedent of a treatment of
their demands on the national scale.
But this precedent itself will emphasize
the disparity between the public regula
tion of railroad rates for public service
and unregulated wages, the largest item
in railroad expenses
The wages of railroad labor are the
prior fixed charges which the railroads
have to meet before taking care of fixed
charges on capital invested. All the
s'atirtics railroad bankruptcy 20 to
show that the principal factor in accel-
Grating insolvency is the accumulation
of fixed charges Under public regua
tion rates have tended to become rigid
and unresponsive to the requirements Of
the railroads for earnings. What the
railway labor unions may do much Ia
prove in the controversy now pending
is that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should have the power to CORE
late railroad rates with charges fixed in
the form Of wages. The railroad regu-
iatore have bppn all but veetod with an
thoritv to regulate fixed charges

utterly worthless. II he should enter

ing operations was to gain the good
will Of Carranza. SThe answer ought
to be sufficient to convince the most
