SOME GOOD ADVICE.

From the Dover State News.
After vigorously iabbing it into the
members Of the Wilmington Board of
Education, not 10 mention a few active
iabs at Pastor Cooke. The editor Of the
Wilmington EVENING JOURNAL is
now directing his sharp.pointed pen at
the Rev. Sigmund Won Bose the young
German-American preacher. of Whining
ton, who has been such an ardent cham
poin of the Kaiser since the beginning
of the present war in Europe II would
pay Mr.. Won Bosse TO heed the excellent
advice rendered him by the editor of
THE EVENING JOURNAL and cease
his pro-German uttersnces. This is
neither the time nor tho place for tho
preaching Of such doctrine as that which
seems to possess the soul and body of
the young preacher. We understand that
Mr.. Won Bosso personally is a fine young
man, and We sincerely hope that he may
be broadminded enough TO change his
views and champion the cause Of Uncl,

Editorial Opinion
LOYALTY IN PRESS AND SENATg,


From the New York Sun.
The appeal Of Secretary Daniels
to the press to maintain a reasonable
degree OF roticcnce relative TO the
methods OF arming ships. the sup
ply OF gun crews and the dates Of
sailings is thoroughly justified The
newspapers of the, nation should &C.
quiesce cheerfully in the request Of
the Secretary OF the Navy. II is per-
haps impossible to secure concert of
action in this, but the substitution
in each Office Of zeal for eminence
in patriotic service rather than for
enterprise in the publication Of news
hurtful to our national defence will
attain the end.
So far the the immediate issue is
concerned the Secretary Of the Navy
is explicit In his request. There are
but three topics he wants eliminated
from the days news. His wishes can
DO literally observed without serious
loss to the reader
we are not sanguine that the
secrecy the Secretary OF the Navy
desires can be attained even should
the papers Of the nation make no
mention whatsoever of ships or guns
There are other ways OF finding out
what is doing, and the Germans are
adopts in the art OF espionage
Besides. II Mr.. Daniels succeeds
in getting the loyal cooperation Of
the press what is he going to do with
the United States Senate? When the
chairman Of the Committee on For
oign Relations feels himself justified
in proclaiming to all the world the
details Of a new device OF war Sc
cretly considered by the United
States navy, what good is there IN
muzzling the press, which after all
speaks not As one with authority?
Nevertheless The Sun seconds the
Secretary's appeal TO its colleagues
in Journalism. II he can repress I'M
patriotic sensationalism in the Sen
ate we doubt that he will find much
to complain of in the press.

and hasty action Is inadvisable, not
to speak of it's unsetting effect upon
business; while new taxes upon inher-
1tance and profits would be addition
ally disturbing because of the
threatening tendencies which they
reveal. Thus far the conservative
element in congress has not been
heard from, and there is probability
of strong opposition to the more
radical Of these proposals.
An extra session is far from desir-
able: nor is the emergency so great as
to call for rush legislation. Some
tariff revision might be devised for
revenue purposes, and such action ac
companied by an issue of Panama
bonds and the imposition of stamp
taxes might easily provide all neces-
sary revenue in the quickest time and
by the least Objectionable methods. If
congress could only devote a little of
it's wasted energy to checking extrava-
gance and unnecessary OUTLAWS. the
revenue problem would be greatly
simplif1ed.

prospects, however, were so confus-

FIREWORKS CASE ENDS
Supreme Court Refuses to Permit
Counsel to Reopen Suit Against
City OF New Haven.

New Haven, Jan. 20.-The supreme
court of errors in session here sent in
q decision yesterday denying the Pc
tition of counsel for the administrator
Of the estate of Ruth Pope, for re-
opening the arguments In the suit
against the city Of New Haven, for
$4,000 damages for the death Of the
young child who was killed July 4th,
1915, when a fire works bomb which
had failed to explode in the air hit
her as she stood in front of the Coun-
ty Court House. Several people, who
were also standing near the spot were
seriously injured, but the little girl
was the only one to be killed.
The case was tried in the superior
court and appealed to the supreme
court later but in each decision the
city was held not liable for damages.
The present decision Is a refusal to
have the case re-opened and a new
presentation of the arguments heard.

PERKINS AWAITS
OLD GUARD ACTION
Has Said His Little Say and
,PauSeS for Verdict

New York, Jan. 20.-As time wore
on, yesterday without any official In
timation from Chairman William r.
Wilcox of the republican national
committee as to when he would call
a meeting to consider the progressive
revolt, the Bull Moose leaders pro-
phesied dark happenings. 1t was said
that George w. Perkins had already
h,ld secret conferences with progress
sive chiefs looking toward the re-or-
ganization Of the third party. Several
leaders called on Mr.. Perkins at his
Office, but he would not admit that
matters had gone as far as reported.
Mr.. Perkins suggested a new battle
hymn for the future progressive army.
If it should be modified. Instead OF
Onward, Christian Soldiers" he de-
clarpd it would be Lead Kindly
Tight, One Step Enough for Me-"
1.-The longer the meeting of the re-
publican national committee Is put off,
the worse 1t will be for the republican
party" said Mr.. Perkins. Our fight
is. not against the rank and file. but
against the machine Of that party,
which for years has refused to allow
the voters to have a chance in party
affairs. That is what caused the split
in 1912"
Asked If revolt meant a revivifica1
ton of the progressive party, Mr.. Per-
kins said that he could not say now
what it would lead to but that it at
least meant timely and vigorous ac-
tiop." Some of the progressive leaders
declared that they did not expect the
meeting Of the republican national
committee would be called for a
month or two, and then that some
other preteXt would be found for call
ing the meeting to preserve. publicly
at least, the dignity Of the "old guard"
leaders.

| Matthew Hale, national chairman of
what is left of the old progressive or

the present progressive organization
in Kings County, and other radicals
wanted to know by what right Mr..
Perkins called himself a progressive,
and why he used the pronoun I'VE"
in talking about what the progress
siVes would or would not do. They
declared that most of the commenda-
tory kilograms Mr.. Perkins had re-
ceived from various sections of the
country had come from men who had
returned to the republican fold and
were now kicking because they didn't
