Recruiting Stations Closed

Failure to obtain sufficient re-
cruits for the National Guard. to

that service caused the War De-
partment last Saturday to author
lie departmental commanders to
discontinue guard recruiting when
results do not warrant continu-
ance.
Since President Wilson issued
the proclamation mobilizing the
guard for Federal service at least
three commissioned officers have
been employed by each guard reg
iment in recruiting work. The ex-
pense of the campaign has been
met by the Federal government.

that partisan use should be
made of it, particularly at
time so critical as this, when
the question is about to be de-
termined whether we shall
keep the nation upon its pre-
sent terms of peace and good
will with the world or turn to
radical changes of policy
which may alter the whole as
pect of national life.
Mr.. Hughes might, of course
take advantage of a similar OPP,
to indorse partisan &C.
tivity by the equal suffragists fo1
the very reason upon which Mr.
bases his disapproval. But
thoughtful people friendly to ejual
suffrage, looking beyond this cam,
paign, and to a time beyond re-
of it's asperities, will,
in our opinion, be disposed to hold
that the policy followed by the
suffragists of Illinois is the policy
hat should be followed by the suf-
fragists of the nation.
Suffrage is not a partisan, but
an ethical, question.

DEFINING AMERICAN INSTITU-
TI0NS

At no election since the Civil
War, has the issue been so clearly
drawn as at the election only
three weeks away. The spirit of
American institutions will be re-
defined. We are to decide at the
polls what we represent. Not only
what we stand for in our CONNER
cial relations, nationally, but what
the Nation stands for in it's deal
ings with foreign powers. The
question arises, whether graceful
Princeton bubble OF straight
American is to be our National
tongue; whether academic theory
or every day facts are the basis of
thought. Defend or condemn, we
must admit that American thought
and American policy as expressed
by the present Administration dur
ing the past four years, is radio
ally different from that of the past.
Whether this shall maintain, or go
back to rugged Truths, clearly de-
fined and strongly defended, is the
issue. Internal affairs arc impor-
tant but not to be compared with
the decision of what constitutes
America and American policy.
This policy as now being express
ed is in direct contradiction to the
ideas and practices of the Repub-
lican Party. Here in Delaware Re-
publicans have opportunity and
responsibility of placing Republi-
can votes in the National Con-
gress. In the Office of U. S. Sena-
tor the Republican Party have by
primary and regularly constituted
convention, renominated Senator
H. A. dupont. That in itself is
sufficient to warrant his support.
But further, life time experience
in National Service makes him Pc
culiarly fit for the National cmer-
gency. In Foreign Diplomacy,
Preparedness, few Senators are so
well qualified to serve as he. AS
Senator from Delaware, he has
served on most important Commit
tees. While looking after the
States interest, he has never been
an office filling politician. He has
taken a broader view-that of
thinking and acting Nationally
something that cannot be said of
the Junior Senator.
But aside from all this, he is the
regularly elected Republican NOM
inee. To oppose him, is to lend
aid to the Democrats. The opposi-
ton of the so-called third party
(Al. I.-Allee) is based on per-
sonal hatred. When this hatred
becomes so intense as to be a
party to defeating the Republican
candidate for U. S. Senator then
we doubt not only their judgment
but their honesty. Either Senator
dupont goes to the Senate or a
Democrat goes-that is the issue.
If Republicanism means any
thing there is no doubt of the re-
suit. What is needed now is that
the Republicans of Delaware pro-
coed to present their platform and
nominees to the public intelli-
gence.
Too much attention is being
given to those with personal
grudge, desired for personal gain
and personal hatred. They are for
Republican victory or against it
that is of their responsibility and
decision.
The issue Def fore campaign
managers is DUPONT or Wolcott.
No doubt exists in the minds of
any citizen believing in the prin-
ciples of the Republican Party.

Told of Pastors Hardships.

In an address at the West Side
Young Mems Christian association,
Manhattan, recently, Rev. DR.. S.
Parkes Cadman said that the clerical
profession was criticized frequently,
but it had more brains and less pay
than any other profession, and few
ministers were able to save any
money, no matter how large their sal
aries, which he knew from his own
experience.
Every bunco steerer," said Doctor
Cadman, "has a clergy list in his pos.
session, and the preacher is the first
man to whom he goes if he has a mine
anywhere to sell, or a cream factory
to dispose of. And many a preacher
often lacking in keen business sense,
nibbles and then bites, and is regarded
as the proper person on whom to un-
load. I speak from experience. II a
prea cher is regarded as too shrewd IN
business, he must be brought to task.
1 believe in poverty in youth, but not
in age, and I believe that no deserving
person more than sixty-ive years Old
in any civilized nation on earth should
be allowed to suffer, and 1 an quite
sure that the time is coming when
all such deserving ones will be placed
beyond the fear of want. Brooklyn

Tribute.

August 6, 1916, Miss Maggie Hudnall
heard her Masters call and passed over
the river, and has for one month been
resting under the trees of life that grow
by the crystal stream which proceeds
from the great white throne.
She is survived by four brothers and
four sisters.
She was born February :, 1873. For
her, life meant duty. She was woman
OF strong convictions and TO live up to
these convictions, was her constant t
endeavor. She was also a woman OF
pronounced personality and fine mental
endowment.
She was for years the tender nurse OF
her aged mother, the very staff upon
which she leaned, nor we're these min-
istrations confined to this beloved pa
rent, but extended most unselfshly. to
any relative or friends who needed
them. One nephew said OF her, "Aunt
Maggie was the best women ever
knew" Another writing Of her death
said: 1--WE have lost valuable friend.
1t will always be pleasant to think Of
her. We can all say OF her that she took
the welfare of others to heart more
than she Gid her OVID, which cannot be
said of many
In every relation fcr life rang true.
She loved her church not theoretically
only, but practically. Her Sunday
School Superintendent said OF her:
"We miss her"
In eer homo the brother, sister, sis.
ter-in-law and the dear little tots miss
her. Her dear little nephew John

buried deep in the ground" But thank
God, we older ones know that this seed
immortal will some sweet day spring

Care for Your Own Health.

Doctor Krusen, who is in charge OF

Future Supply Of Gasoline.

When the quantity Of petroleum
that can be obtained from the oil wells
of the country begins to show signs Of
diminution there will still be virtu-
ally inexhaustible source of supply. 1t
is the shale beds of Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming. The United States geo
logical survey estimates that in Colo
RADIO alone there is sufficient shale, in
beds three or more feet thick, to yield
2O,OOO,OOO,0OO barrels Of crude Oil,
from which at least 2,000,0O0,0O0 bar
rels of gasoline can be extracted.
Bituminous shale is q clayey, haky
rock that contains hydrocarbons or
bituminous materials. Heat changes
them into crude oil, gas and ammonia.
The refined oil yields about ten per
cent Of gasoline, 35 per cent of kero-
sene and q considerable quantity Of
paratin. In Scotland they have e1-
tracted oil from shale for more than
fifty years, but the average quantity
of oil recovered from a ton Of shale
is much less than the amount our own
shales would yield. The retail price
of gasoline is now higher than it has
ever been before. According to gov
ernment figures, the total yearly out
put is about 6S,OO0,000 barrels, and, as
it is estimated that only about 934,-
100000 barrels can be produced from
the present sources, there IS little
prospect that the price will come
down.-Youth's Companion.

Where Artists Live.

Over on the West side, in Green
wich village, is ABINGDON square,
which in popular parlaa"c is as big as
"a minute" The square is at Eighth
avenue and Hudson street, and in spite
Of its size, has double record. 1t is
listed not only as a park, but as a
playground. In this quaint little cor
ner of Greenwich village the memory
is kept alive of Charlotte Warren, a
New York girl, daughter Of Sir Peter
Warren, and Susanna de Lancey.
Charlotte was the oldest daughter Of
this union, and married Willoughby,
earl of Abingdon. The countess Of
Abingdon's name was also attached to
the long-vanished Abingdon road, also
called Love lane, which ran westward
from Broadway, practically on the
lines of the present Twenty-frst
street. Abingdon square is in the
heart Of that section of the city still
known as Greenwich village. Nova
days it is very similar to the Latin
quarter of Paris and is the living place
of artists and writerS.-New York Cor

Local Aid For Allies Blind.

Nr. W. G. Davis, President of the
Peoples Bank, has undertaken 4 hu-
manitarian work which is exception
ally worthy of commendation. AS To-.
cal sub-treasurer OF the B. F. B. Per-
manent Blind Relief War Fund, he is
raising subStantiaE sum in this COM
mnnity to train the many blinded Brit
ish, French and Belgian soldiers in
trades not requiring sight so that they
can support themselves and their FAM
lilies in spite of their terrible misfor-
tune.
The blinded soldiers of the Allies
are unusually deserving. Their lives
have been permanently wrecked in the
defense of their homes, families and
countries. They can be rescued from
their apparently hopeless fate by the
establishment of a practical and busl-
ness-like system of training schools,
employment agencies, work-shopS and
exchanges which will create 4 market
for bliud-made products.
Their own governments, being over
buraened with many more immediate
and vital prblems, cannot either at
present O. for years to come establish
such 4 system of Institutions es ade-
ouately or completely as is desirable
from q humanitarian stand point.
If America will help, almost all the
many unfortunate blinded soldiers OF
the Allies can. within very few years
be restored to 4 real usefulness and at
least TO a comparative prosperity and
happiness.
If America, on the other hand, ig-
noreS this noble world-dutv, many OF
our tellow-human beings, though ex-
ceptionally deserving OF aid, may be
condemned to q slow and miserable
death of poverty and despair as pubic
charges upon their communities.

The relief Tanlac gave Mrs. Benton

Her statement describing Mrs. Bentons
ailments and the Jesults Tanlac gave
her, follows:
My daughter, Mrs. Bessis Benton,
suffered from what was said to be Sc
we're case of pellaera. She was treat.
ed by specialists here, and had taken
pellagra treatments, but she got no bet
ter while doing so. She did not eat
anything at all, and do not see how
she lived, she ate so little. Her stom-
ach was IN very bad shape, and many
a day she did not eat over three or four
bites during the day.
'Sbe was run down terribly, had no
strength and felt badly all the time.
Her head hurt her all the time. and
she was never easy, her head ached so
much. Her nerves were so bad that
you could see her shake.

cided TO buy it. And Tanlac did her
a wonderful amount of good. She has
more life and energy now than she has
had in years, She has good appetite
eats great deal and seems TO have GO
trouble with her stomach. She SAYS
she does not tire as quickly now, and
she works all day, but, before she took
Tanlac she was so weak she could hard
ly do anything.
"She has gained some weight ana
looks great deal better. She does
not complain OF headaches lately.
There is no medicine like Tanlac she
