n oRMER County Comptroller PhiIcmma Chandler, OF
4 claymont will be SO years old on May D.
In view of the highly important public service he
performed when in Office it to that it would
he shame for the people OF New Castle county TO ia
TO take cognizance OF his birthday celebration.
There is no taxpayer in New Castle county who does
not owe to Phnemma Chandler debt OF gratitude for
the protective he performed when he was mem
her OF the Levy Court and subsequently, County Comp
troller.
Throughout his official career he was a consistent
and neyer-fang foe Of the spokesman the CRATER and
the crook.
He could not be brbed cajoled by those who we're
bent upon betrayal Of the public interests His hon
esty and watchfuness saved to the taxpayers Of Will
mington and OF tho rural sections OF county tens
OF thousands Of dollars
So far as Mr.. Chandler able to accomplish II ne
Guarded their money as though it were his own
lie was both feared hated by who looked upon
tho public funds a private grab.
His political and official life doubtless would have
been much peasanter had he pursued the easier way
and made terms with the spoismen the grafters ana
the crooks The innate honesty Of the man reyolted
however al such a suggestion He stood like rock
against those who sought graft the New Cas-
lie county taxpayers neither would surrender TO
nor compromise with them.
Respected and trusted, he entered public life Re-
spected and honorod, he retired to private life
And now. in view OF the splendid work he did Tor
the New Castle county taxpayers. wouldn't it be a
nice thing for them do something in return? We sug-
eest two lines OF action, follows;
Nrst-That those men and women in our com
munity who profess to place value upon honest and
efficient public service, take immediate stops to pro
cure for and present to him loving cup suitably in
scribed
second-That every taxpayer in the county who has
money iingling in his pocket that would be jnghng
in tho pocket Of the CRATER had it not been for Mr.
Chandler send to him. by letter or postal birthday
greeting
BY entering into that gentle conspiracy, they will
make happy the last days OF the former County Comp
trollcr who is living in decent retirement in Clay
mont
We advise each taxpayer in the county to make o.
this personal matter, and not to leave it for some
one else to do
Let tho slogan be swamp the Claymont POSTPONED

So far as the loving cup is affected, il those who de

of conditions in the present school
was given The Commissioners found
many faults with our school and
pointed out many needed improve
ments.
There is no question but whet a
new school Is needed. Our children,
particularly those of tender age. are
now subjected to danger Of illness
and disease because there are not
sanitary conditions i'm the building
where they are confined several hours
each day.
Our School Board believes that the
present school can be renovated anC
put into condition which will remove
the present danger to the extent tina
older pupils viii not court risk tC
health. a new school for the younger
pupils, however Is decidedly essen
tial.

Their children are being benefited.
There should not be any hesitatio

ing for now school. The report Q

dence to convince the most skeptici
that a school is needed Every citize

GUARDING WAR FUNDS

President Wilson, we believe, was
correct in his demand that the duties
of food administrator be placed in
the hands of a single individual
Herbert C. Hoover-instead of in
control of a board of three men; but
his second objection to the food con-
troll bill, which related to the appoint
ment of a joint congressional COM
mittee on war expenditures, Of which
the majority would be democrats, is
susceptible of less defense.
AS Senator Lodge said in debate
and it is to be remembered that
Lodge has almost consistently sup
ported the presidents war program
even when pacifist democratic solons
were trying to undermine that pro-
gram-no president is sacred or in
