PRINCIPLES PARAMOUNT TO INDIVIDUALS.

THE characteristic feature Of Republican activity in
the present campaign is desire for the success of
Republican principles rather than success for any
particular individual
There is no evidence Of disposition anywhere TO in

man who had been travelling through twenty-six
states was recently conversing with group of Re
pubcans on the floor previous to the opening OF the
daily session of the House. He was telling his view
OF the Republican situation. He said.
Il have found in every section this country where
the Republicans almost to be successful in
the coming elections, everybody talking for the
party instead of for any particular candidate have
found hundreds OF men who say they voted for Will
son in 1912 who going TO vote the Republican
ticket this fall The people saying that any good
man will do. They realize well that the candidate
selected at Chicago Is going to carry out their wishes
and desires that they not giving much thought to
the candidate and depending upon the wisdom and
good Of the convention to select standard
bearer that will the requirements OF the occa-
sion. One of the striking features of my trip has
been the harmony and good feeling that Is existing
everywhere among all former Republicans"
We have no doubt that the Delaware delegation 10

OF the nomination Of such a winning candidate and
that its actions there will be as to meet with the

CaYanza's Plain Question
CFrom the New York Tribune)

the American troops in Mexico no,
withdrawn? 1t is a plain question
which demands a plain answer. But
Mr. Wilson is not willing to give such
an answer, because he hates TO dispe
the illustion that he entered Mexico
with ample diplomatic warrant and Ia
admit to the world that the operations
conducted by General Pershing have
been anything but thinly disguised
form of war.
Our troops have no status in Mexico
except that Of invaders, going there To
accomplish a purpose which the
United States believes Carranza's gov.
ernment is unable to accomplish. Car.
rama says that there is nothing left
for American soldiers to do on Mexi-
can soil. and that to keep them there
longer will demonstrate the hostile
intentions of the United States. How
is that clear and accurate statement
of the Mexican point Of view to be
met?
For reasons connected with do.
mestic politics the President is re-
luctant to withdraw the army from
Mexico But as a worldwide hu.
manitarian and pacifcator he is firmly
committed TO Withdrawing them. What
will the outcome be? VIII he reject in
his own case the philosophy which he
has prescribed for Europe. simply he.
cause he fears to run counter In
American feeling and to weaken him
self as a Presidential candidate?

THEN AND NOW.

A YEAR ago war orders were coming in small lots
IA to few communities. At that time owing 10
the greatly depressed condition Of American industry
even small orders we're greatly appreciated. This
indicated by the language OF Boston dispatch to
the New York Evening Post which makes strange
reading year later after orders have made such
a change in business conditions This is the way the
Post dispatch told the story
War orders already being executed under quite
singular circumstances In country town Of only a
few hundred inhabitants is machine shop (practi-
cally the only local industry apart from farming) en-
ploying ordinarily ten twelve men and construct
ing machines for cutting steel shafting we would
be shut down today said OF the men this week.
II it were not for orders. This little plant has
orders from Europe sufficient to carry it along during
several months and has taken additional help, its
machines now being used 10 cut shrapnel and shells

significant OF the capacities Of this coun- = time

Our Navy Must be Adequate 10
The Times
From the New York SUM-

The army organization bill as II
passed House and Senate left much
TO be desired, chiefly because the new
law, in the Judgment Of experts. will
limit our first line of defence on land
TO the increased regular army. But
consolation can be extracted from the
thought that in the event OF war large
armies of volunteers could he raised
and trained to give a good account of
themselves in the field in compara-
lively brief period
The navy is our true first line. our
protection. our bulwark If the navy
is not adequate to each emergency as
1t arises, then the shortcoming of the
army may have tragic results.
The United States must have "a navy
big and strong enough to cone with
the fleet OF a sea power of the first
class. whether II comes from the West
or East To fail to provide such a
navy would be criminal neglect of
the interests Of the nation. When the
Democrats Of the House naval com
mittee elected TO disregard the pro-
gram or the Secretary OF the Navy
based upon expert advice. and voted
Ior immediate new construction of five
battle cruisers when two battlpships
and two battle cruisers were recon-
mended; for seventeen coast and
three feet submarines instead of for
twenty-five and five; for ten DESTROY
ers instead of for fifteen. and so on.
II was pain that politics had strong
er hold upon the Democrats of the
committee than the interests of the
nation.
Not only was the Administration
program altered in a compromise
with the little navy Democrats but
the advice of the naval experts was
deliberately rejected.
Protest, as was inevitable. has come
from minority of the House Naval
Committee and in such a shape that
there will be general regret that the
Republican party. which always takes
a sane view of naval needs according
to conditions, is not in control of Con
gress
The Republicans of the committee
make the point that the provision for
battle cruisers is belated and should
not he allowed TO interfere with the
construction of at least two battle
ships as recommended. In fact the
minority would add one battle cruiser
TO the number proposed by the ma

PREPARING FOR INDUSTRIAL WAR AGAINST
AMERICA

Japan was invited to take part in the Paris eco
nomic conference which included representatives
from Great Britain, France. Russia and Italy These
countries fully alive the necessity for readust-
ments Of their trade policies It is to be noted that
the United States not invited send a represen-
tative TO this conference although II is highly prob
able that the progress have been making while
the Europeon battle royal was going on was a sub
iect OF considerable discussion at the Paris meeting
Germany and Austria are also preparing to effect
trade combination and readustment Of commercial
policies. and their attitude toward us will not be
marked with genteness.
We are doing nothing toward getting ready, for post
bellum conditions
The Democrats still cling to the Underwood tariff
-than-revenue law declaring to be adequate
for any occasion.
son-n-aw McAdoo went 10 South America, stilI
further to encourage trade with that continent
which recorded increase Of 22S per cent in trade
balance against us, comparing 1913 nine months un-
der the Republican tariff law, with 1915. under the
Democratic tariff law.

IN FAIRNESS TO our TEACHrRs.

many American cities public school teachers arc
informed in April Of each year whether they are

year
inat is to enable teachers who are not TO be re-
tanned to have ample opportunity TO look about for
other positions. Il also relieves the minds of those
Who are to he retained from all uncertainty relative
to the future and enables them to embark happily
upon their various vacation enterprises
Here in Wilmington there is no such system The
teachers are Kept in state Of uncertainty and per
pleNity right up TO the close of the school year In
fact there are times when they arc permitted TO go
on their vacations without being informed whether
their positions will be open to them when they re-
turn.
That is not right II they arc to be retained they
should be so informed. If not ample time should be
given to them to look around for new positions I'M

AS long ago as 1909 England was

head review of July. 1912, five of this
dreadnought type we're i'm line. When
war came in August, 1914. ten were
IN commission and others were build.
ing. Germany also had squadron
and Japan had two battle cruisers
and was completing others. In his
last annual report in December. 1912.
secretary Meyer advocated battle
cruisers for the United States navy.
So whatever vessels of this type are
now authorized at a late day. battle
ships should not be neglected. No
other great sea power thinks of ne
glectng them.
The minority members take the
Democrats vigorously to task for ig-
noring the lesson of the submarine in
the European war; for placing no
time limit on the completion of ships
to be authorized; for failing to pro-
vide a sufficient number of enlisted
men even on a peace basis: for penny
wise pound foolish economy in con-
nection with the aeronautical corps;
and for not giving the navy a council
Of national defence.
There is not count in this indict-
ment that will not hold. In calling
for fifty submarines in place of
twenty voted by the Democrats the
minority, in our judgment, is not go
ing TO an extreme. In the use OF
undersea boats the Germans have
proved that this type is indispens-
able; and it must always be remem-
bered that along our extensive deep
water coast it would be impossible
for an enemy to snare defending sub
marines.
What the minority OF the Naval
Committee wants is a navy scientif-
cally organized and adequate to the
emergency of war with a first class
sea power that may come at any
time in the future. perhaps too soon
for comfort
For this program the fight in Con-
gress must begin at once-not a day
is to be wasted-and in our opinion
1t cannot be lost If the Republicans
stick to their guns and demand that
the Democratic party obey the in
junction of its platform that the ma
tion be provided with navy ade-
quate TO the new world conditions.

The administration has good reason
to be worried over General Carranza S
latest note. Carranza is an accomp-
lished and resOurceful diplomatist He
has got the better of every discussion
which he has carried on with our
State Department. At the close OF the
last encounter our government recOg-
nized him Internationally as the head
Of the de facto Mexican Government,
although it had at the outset served
an ultimatum on him requiring him
to relinquish the Provisional Presi-
dency and to obligate himself not to be
a candidate for President at the first
election following a restoration of or
der. General Carranza is a hard man
to deal with because he is not to be
put off with ambiguous phrases. He
does not allow an opponent TO straddle
diplomatic fence. He insists on
keeping the record straight. and that
Is the one thing at which the diplO-
macy Of this administration is least
apt.
1t has been admitted in Washington
that President Wilson misled the
country when he gave it the impress
sion that United States troops had
gone into Mexico after the Columbus
raid with the permission Of Carranzas s
government. Carranza never gave
any permit of that sort. All that he
did, as the correspondence shows. was
to approve the idea of drafting a pro-
tocol permitting each government in
the future to send troops across the
boundary line in pursuit of bandits
.That protocol has never been COM
pleted or signed Our troops are
therefore in Mexico without the
wishes of the Mexican people and of
the defacto government.
President Wilson has never public
ly abandoned the fiction that he sent
General Pershing's expedition across
the border in consequence OF an
understanding with Mexico. He still
maintains that he is not violating
Mexican sovereignty. He saws that
the United States stands for the terri
torial integrity and political indepen-
dence Of all existing nations. Yet he
has failed TO explain 10 General Car
rama why he himself continues TO
violate Mexican sovereignty.
Carranza rightly says that the hunt
for Villa has collapsed Why. then. are

we are to have good roads in this state they will
come result Of persistent agitation and educa-
ton which viii convince the taxpayers that such thor
oushfarcs are good investments.
The trouble with most of the taxpayers Is that while
they ADMIT that good roads highly desirable they
have not yet reached that stage which reconcncs
them to the thought Of making that pecuniary sacri-
fee that is needed TO obtain them -
AS a result the hands Of the puba officials are
tied. NOT so much by lack of desire as by a lack Of
cash for road improvement work
In connection with this good roads question We
hnd in Speed local periodical, the following article
There more than five thousand license hold
ers IN Delaware. These license holders have a right
to demand of the State Of Delaware good roads and Of
the city of Wilmington good streets.
If there were not a motor vehicle in Delaware or
other States, the urgency for good would be as
reasonable and the absence OF good roads would be
as mischievous and reprehensibe The taxes the peo
pie of Delaware pay directly into treasures is a mere
bagatele compared with what they are losing because
OF the poor roads.
We not dreaming We are not scoldinp We are
stating cold bald-faced facts and the intelligent read
knows stating facts
The is fool who can size up the people Of
Delaware and then conclude that our wretched roads
reasonable or worcestershire.
The people OF Delaware are competent to build good
roads and TO maintain good roads and while the peo-
still move and live and have their amazing being we
insist they cannot afford to do IT,
New Castle county is far ahead of Kent and Sussex
counties in the matter of good roads and yet even
in this county there is much TO he desired The rou.
BILE is not lack Of ability to build good roads but
lack Of conviction that they are cheaper than poor
roads and well worth the pecunary sacrifice that is
needed TO supply them Until the taxpaying public
becomes fully reconciled to the thought Of having
good roads and is willing the bill for produc-
ing them We shall have bad roads in all three coun.

On rug Of velvet moss
Every bone and nerve and muscle
In the sweetest rest reclines,
