their WORK in the past week Will be
made at a meeting of the ministers
on Monday mo n.ng.
The question has been asked many
times throughout the week what the

an erroneous idea. The $4,000 IS the
first OF fund that il is expected viii
be raised to a million In time. which
Will form a permanent endowment
fund, and with which 1t Is expected
to raise the Dover Institute TO the
standing Of a college.
Prominent Delawareans who know
what Wesley Institute is and what 1t
has done for the peninsula, have
united in expressing to their friends
and nelghbors what they think Of IL.
In this connection Governor Town
send said
II am pleased to write you that It
Is my opinion, based upon my knOwl-
edge of the business and p OCCASIONAL
men of this peninsula who have
been trained In your school, that the
influence has been such as to thor
oughly merit the continuation of the
schools good work, and / shall be
pleased indeed to do anything within
my power, TO assist in raising lhe
S200OO0 endowment
Ex-Governo, Charles r. Miller says;
THE campaign you have inaugur-
ated 10 procure an enlowm mt fund
for the Wesley Collegiate Institute
should appeal TO all classes Of people
in the peninsula, and meet Ni,h q
cordial and generous response.
For many years it has occupied a
prom nent place among the education
al institutions of the peninsula.
1T has graduated many students
who have taken high rank in the
ministry and exercised potential
influence In moldlng and shaping the
citizenship Of the nation"
Judge Henry C. Conrad has abiding
faith in the school lie says
1.-The movement TO enJow the Wcs-
ley Collegiate Institute meets with
my hearty approval and must appeal
to every public-spiIited citizen Of the
peninsula. Its future should
be made secure by an endowment
sufficient in amount to insure career
of increased usefulness"
United states senator Josiah o.
Wolcott expresses himself as follows:
"The Wesley Collegiate lnstitu e
has been doing wonderful work for
the young man and young woman Of
the peninsula for a great many years.
OF this ! ana convinced from numer-
GUS exp essions / have heard from
those who have received the benefits
Of educa ion6l training in this insti-
tuition, and from my own personal
experience having myself spent three
yea of my school days at the VIII
mington Conference Academy, being
graduated therefrom in 1896.
81 think il would be a great calam-
lty to The people Of our peninsula,
regardless Of religious Affiliations, II
this institution should have 10 close
its doors for the want OF funds sum-
cient TO support IT,"

FOR A DICTATOR.

In an interview Senator Harding has
come out squarely for q dictator in
this country during the war period
declaring Woodrow Wilson, by virtue
of his being president, should be the
the dictator. That Is the only logicla
conclusion of this whole matter. In
the awful emergency into which this
nation is plunged it cannot get along
with endless controversy. 1t must
reach conclusions and reach them
promptly. Mr.. Wilson may not al
ways decide correctly according to
our view, but our view has nothing
to do with 1t where action Is de-
manded. The most democratic act a
people can do is to choose a man
to rule over them, to pilot them
through the storm. 1t has doubtless
taken vigorous exercise of the
spirit for Senator Harding, an old
Republican, to come to this conclu-
sion, but party politics is no stand
point from which to judge ones duty
in these war times. Politics and
