On a False Trail
(From the New York Trib1ne).

There is talk now in Washington
OF reviving the Administration eight
for a press censorship, on the ground
that about / per cent. OF the news
papers Of the country are still con
Quoting "a subtle anti.war propagan-
d." Whether this charge, fathered
by Senator Husting. OF Wisconsin. is
well founded or not, it does not ex-
cuse any further agitation for a press
censorship.
The Administration censorship
scheme, which Congress recently re-
jected. was a scheme to muzzle news
paper criticism and the free express.
sion Of opinion. Its authors wanted
to be in a position to terrorize news
PAPER editors, whether the news they
published or the opinions they ex-
pressed were seditious or not.
No new law is required to give the
Administration power to deal with
treason and sedition. Anyone con-
Quoting an anti-war propaganda OF
expressing reasonable sentiments
can be dealt with under existing
statutes. President Lincoln never
asked Congress to pass a censorship
acti Yet he did not hesitate to i'm.
prison seditious editors or to refuse
to recognize writs of habeas corpus
which they obtained from the Fed
eral courts. Chief Justice fancy him

paper criticism, even unjust criticism
which sorely tried him. But he never
dreamed Of setting up a system OF
censorship under which he would be
empowered in advance to decide what
ought not to say.
Treason and sedition are crimes,
and every individual and every news
paper is responsible for utterances or
actions which are manifestly dis
loyal. But the test of these crimes is
the intention, whereas, under the
newspaper censorship scheme which
was beaten in Congress. any publica-
ton, however innocent, might have
been declared by governmental regu-
lation to be prima facie reasonable
The Administration is entirely free
to prosecute editors of the class which
Senator Husting has in mind-to i'm

should go on, whether the seditious

not The public will support action

DELAwARE's COMMENCEMENT.

From the Newark Ledger.
No doubt many Of the visitors here
this week who attended Commence
ment exercises at Delaware College,
were amazed at the new buildings
erected and the contemplated ones.

ture that called forth much praise

cent appearance. II is a beautiful
building. In fact all the beauty does
not lie on the exterior, its interior is
splendid It stands as one of the show
places of Delaware. We believe it is
one of the handsomest structures in
the State
The visitors here this week noted
all these things, and the facts will
be given to those unable to attend
the exercises of Commencement
Week. The people OF the State will
understand the advantages to be had
in Delaware College, and also our
sister states will become more inter
ested.
Young men who came as visitors
this week will feel like returning as
students. The incoming class to Della
ware this year should exceed all for
mer freshmen classes.
The exercises throughout were OF
an interesting character. We feel sure
the people of Delaware will become
more aroused over the growth and
advancement of the College, and with
help all they can to make the insti
tuition greater.

The Christians Home
Written for Evening Journal
By James 4. CrOzler.

If your life is full of Sunshine, friend
And God is in your heart,
When you shall reach your journeys
end
You're ready to depart
For Eden's land across the sea.
To there forever stay
With Jesus through eternity,
Where it is endless day.
This world we're in is just a home
For only a few years;
We're looking waiting, one TO come
And have no doubts or fears.
II we are cleansed from all our sin
BY Jesus precious blood;
Oh praise His name We'll enter in
Against all tides or food.
No sickness or no sorrow there,
No trials causing pain;
What Joy to know we will be where
Well never part again
I want TO say to all today
The woman or the man
That's living in this good Old way,
And doing best they can.
VIII have sweet happiness, that's true
In Heaven there is room,
The home prepared for me and you
Where flowers ever bloom.
Then help US Lord to live just so
And do what pleases thee
So when time comes for us to go.
We know where we shall be.

CONSERVE MAN-POwER.

From the Iron Trade Review.
As soon as the United States awoke to
the necessity of preparedness for war, an
urgent call went out for materials,
money and men. The huge shipbmlding
program promises to solve the problem
of materials; the Liberty Loan is pro-
viding the money; and enlistments and
selective draft are building up the army
and navy In the excitement attending
these three great movements, the fact
that every addition 20 the military force
means a corresponding depletion in the
industrial army is apt TO be overlooked
In fact. unless a united effort is made
to comteract the exodus from the ranks
of labor. the country is robbing Peter TO
pay Paul.
It is patent that the armed force of
the nation must be recruited with the
least possible detriment to the organiza-
tion Of the industries engaged in making
war supplies. This means that the mar
power must be conserved with the ut
most efficiency and that the thinning
ranks of labor SHOULD be filled wherein

There is no secret about Vinol, it
derives its power to build up the over
worked, brokendown, nervous system
from beef and cod liver peptones, iron
and manganese peptonates, and glyc-

to try Vinol can do so with the under

PALM BEACH

Like all places in which idlers try
to avoid finding out that they are idle,
Palm Beach has very definite customs
as TO where to go and at what time to
go there. Excepting in its hours for
going to bed and getting up, it runs on
schedule. The official day begins with
the bathing hour-11.30 to 1880
when the two or three thousand people
from the pair of vast hotels assem- BILE
before the casino on the beach. Golf
ers will, of course, be upon the links
before this hour; fishermen will be
casting from the pier or will be out in
boats searching the sailfish-that be-
ing the fashionable" fish at the pres
ent time; ladies of excessive circub-
ference will be painting rapidly along
the walls. their eyes holding that look
of dreamy determination which paint
ers put into the eyes of martyrs, and
which fixed intention to lose twenty
pounds puts into the eyes of banting
women. So. too, certain gentlemen of
swarthy skin make their way to the
casino sun parlor, where they disrobe
and bake until the bathing hour. The
object of this practice is to acquire, as
nearly as a white man may. the COM
plexion of a mulatto, and it is surpris-
ing to see how nearly the skins of
some more ardent members of the
Browning Club as this group is
called, match those of their chair
boys. The underlying theory of the

coat of tan, taken north-in March, ad-
vertises the wearer as having been at
