Editorial Opinion
UPLHT. A WISH GRATIFIED.

From the New York Sun.
In one Of the beautifully worded
speeches last summer on moral guild
ance, on principles before self-advan-
tage, and on the subordination Of pri-
vate interests to the service Of hu-
manity, President Wilson said:
Il would rather hear what the men
are talking about on the trains and in
the shops and by the fireside than
hear anything else, because l want
guidance, and / know could get it
there. and what / am constantly ask
ing is that men should bring me cOun-
sci. because I am not privileged TO
determine things independently of
that counsel. l am your servant. moi
your ruler"
We can crafty Mr.. wilson's wish.
We are able to tell him what men are
talking about on the trains and In
the shops and by the firesides this
morning.
They are talking about the scandal
of the appointment by which he. their
servant, not their ruler, attempts 70
provide a salary of $4,000 a year for
his personal medical attendant and
connection by marriage not only al
the expense of the taxpayers but alsI
at the cost OF outrageous inius

NIGHTCAPS.


The nightcap is an old fash
. ioned affair, either crochetted OF
. bottled. Some men wear them on
. their heads, others on their stom-
: achs. You tell one by its tassel
. and the other by its kick.
The crochetted nightcap isn't
y so bad. It's just a crochetted
" nightoap. But the bottled night
. cap is a treacherous and movable
. feast A nightcap at night. it be-
. comes an eye-opener in the morn
A" ing; an appetizer at noon and a
. cocktail at dinner. The Jekyil &
. Hyde of nightcaps, as II we're.
. The man who sleeps with one
. nightcap on his head and another
on his tummie usually takes them
both of in the morning and puts
on a crouch. And he who wears
a nightcap on his head may fear
q flower on his coat, but he who
wears a nightcap on his stomach
wears a blossom on his nose.
Nightcaps ought to be abolish
ed. About the only thing they
ever accomplished anyhow is
badness OF the pate or cfrrhosis
Of the liver.

MISUSE OF OWN BONDS.

NKTHAT a travesty for this administration to issue
w Panama Canal bonds TO up its extraya-
cancel
Republican, administration authorized the con-
strucon the canal provided for the bond issue and
then paid the canal chiefly out Of current revenues
Because Republican administrations did not issue the
bonds authorized there is still legal authority for
their sale.
The economy of Republican administrations is to be
used as a cloak TO shield the Democratic admnistra-

OBsTRUCTORs SHOULD


From the Salisbury Tribune.
The occurrence of deadlocks in the
organization of the Legislatures Of
the several States is becoming so
frequent that some preventive legis-
lation is absolutely necessary If the
usefulness of these bodies is to be
maintained
over in Delaware the General As
sembly has been held up for more
than three weeks by the failure to
elect a President pro TEN.
The members OF the legislature
we're elected TO transact the States
business and their failure TO begin
the work for which they are paid, but
instead to spend their time squab-
bling over the election OF a presiding
officer, is an outrage against the
State and should be made punisha-
BILE as such.
Men who put petty partisanship
ahead of duty should be made to suf-
fer the consequences. The State of
Delaware is losing heavily by the
neglect OF duty by its partisan Off
cials and the men responsible for the
situation should be amenable to pun
ishment for their perfidy.

STRAW-$1O PER TON

Can you afford to burn straw
that will be worth $40 per ton,
when good timothy hay is
worth $50? That is ques-
tion propounded to farmers by
the State Commission of Pro-
duction and Conservation. An
appeal is made to drop the
wasteful practice of burning up
straw, urging farmers to have
it baled and shipped to other
sections of this state where
there is no straw, If it is not
needed at home, where it will
be the means of assisting farm
ers who are facing a very seri-
Gus shortage in food, and the
problem of sacrificing their
live stock on account of it.
The commission is using
great deal of publicity in this
matter and asking everybody to
help, by getting behind the
farmers of the Northwest.
Take the subject home to
yourselves and give it the bene-
fit of your earnest thought and
consideration. for the sake of
your country's needs in the
war.

ness.
The booth was under the direct
management of Mesdames A. P.

by a number of the members of the
chapter. Verna Barker, Vera Demp-

despite the peculiar conditions this

BAKERS DECLARE LITTLE
DROP IN BREAD PRICE

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. members
of the National Association of Mas
ter Bakers, which is in twentieth an
nual session here, asserted that Food
Administrator Hoover probably will
make only slight change in the price
of bread. This expectation is found
ed on the belief that the price fixed
will represent cost of manufacture
plus approximately 10 per cent
which, they say, is the present mar
gin of profit.
An investigation of all bakeries Is
declared to be in progress, with the
idea of getting exact information re-
garding costs of manufacture and of
handling bread. Bakers, it is expect
ed, will be licensed.
1t is believed more than 1000
delegates will be here before the
meetings end Friday.
