GENERAL PRRSHING BREACHES THE GOSPEL OF
NATIONAL COURAGE

IN HE more sec and hear Of that John Per-
shing, chosen TO head the American armies in
France the you become convinced that he is the
right man In the right place To begin WITH there is
no question Of his physical and moral courage dis
played that abundanty in the Spanish American war
and in the subsequent campaigns in the Philippines
AS organizer and dscipiinaran he showed his abi-
ity In the expedition into Mexico during which he not
only taught his little army the modern war game but
whipped them into shape as one OF the finest fttest
punches Of American soldiers this country ever had.
But he has other things besides courage and the
ability to command He had that quality which is
needed in all great leaders OF men. lie has vision
lie has been in France only a short time He has al
ready learned TO the full tho job this country is
undertaking. AS result there is unusual force to
some words he spoke recently words meant for con
sderauon and thought by tho folk back home-3OoO
miles and more from the scene OF war
Here is Porshngs verdict
THE righteousness OF our cause cannot decide this
titanic conflict It is the fibre the sun the grit the
nerve OF the civilian peoples which viii decide it, Be
sure Of this. The side which lasts the longest the
side which endures side which will give its char
acter to the future OF civilization The quality Of ma
tiona fibre viii decide this war and decide the future
Of the world
This is direct call and challenge to the American
people. It is call to Delawareans II means we must
steel ourselves to what is to come In our security
our peace. prosperity have not ysuaiized what
war is BY and by the real and grim thing is going to
be brought home to us
Our papers will be printing rolls OF honor just as do
the English and French papers-ong lists Of officers
and privates who have been killed IN action or who
have died from wounds There will be long lists OF
missing whose fate sill be unknown-wheher they
wounded in some No Mans Land or captive in some
German prison stockade There will be reserves to be
recorded Our armies. just those OF other nations
will have their ups and downs They viii win brilliant
victories They viii sustain bitter defeats They will
advance. They will retreat
When these things happen. there viii also come the
test Of which Pershing speaks. France England yes
and Germany have CALAMITY stood all the shocks Of
the past three years OF bitter war They have sor
rowed over their reverses and then nerved themseve,
to carry on to the end
What Frenchmen and Englishmen and the foe have
done, VIC do What they have done we must do

cRAzY.oUrLTING THE CONSTITUTION.

q BNAToR CALDER, Of New York prefacing his mega,
- tive vote on the prohibition amendment 10 the Con-
suon with an explanation. said that he would never
vote for an alteration In the fundamental law unless
he felt certain that there an overwhelming de-
mand for It on the part of the people OF this State.
This is in conformity with the doctrine OF represent
tative government TO it should be added however
the further resolve that amendment TO the Const
tuition should be favored which tends to weaken the
force OF that instrument by making collection Of
statutes rather than outline OF fundamental prnc
pies There is much loose thinking about the Const-
tuition nowadays and a good deal Of it arises from
the NUMEROUS proposals amend that document with
the addition OF matter which is subject for statutory
rather than constitutional action
The fathers Of the Republic purposely made the Con-
sttution difficult Of amendment; but persistence is
overcoming dffnculty What designed char
ter OF rights may be endangered il it to be tinkered
as though it merely code OF police regulations.
