WHAT LINCOLN SAID

An expression from Lincoln is
always pertinent to any discus
sion. Just now, in the contest here
in Delaware a word from the
Master of Common Sense may not
be amiss. Best of all, what was
said then is just as practical now
1.-The liquor traffic is cancer
in society. eating the vitals and
threatening destruction: and all
attempts to regulate it will not
only prove abortive. but will ag-
grevate the evil. There must be
no attempts to regulate the cam
Ger. 1t must be eradicated; not
a root must be left behind. for
until this is done all classes
must continue in danger of be-
coming victims of strong drink.
Slavery is abolished.
The next great question would
be the overthrow of the legalized
liquor traffic. And you know,
that my head and my heart. my
hand and my purse, will go into
that work"

MARKET INVESTIGATIONS

The Committee appointed by the
Mayor Of Wilmington to investi-
gate market conditions and high
prices have held their first meet
ing. 1t is extremely interesting to
note that they approached the dis
cuSsion by saying that the"farmer
was as good as the city man" This
is the first contradiction to the
Every Evenings accusation that
the King Street farmers were not
gentlemen" and the reference TO
them as pirates Of the Captain
Kidd type. il is interesting. too,
and very gratifying to hear the
Committee say that they were not
up against the farmer and that
the City needed him" The invita-
ton to the representatives of the
farmers to counsel with them
speaks we'll and shows a spirit OF
cooperation. We agree heartily
with this attitude and look with
] interest TO the discussion Of such
mutual interest.

At the same time we are urged to

The War will be won on the
farm" they tell US, while another
sends them to the trenches. If the
farmer and the product of his
labor on land is necessary, then
something must be done to give
him the assistance necessary.
In our conversation whit far
mers, up and down the State, we
regret to hear these expressions of
Encouragement, yet investigation
proves the merits of their claims.
This year Delaware had perhaps
the greatest acreage in her history.

THE FARMERS PROBLEM

quickly too. the Agricultural sit

every organization IS crying about
the high cost Of farm products. In

belief that the farmers are reQuir-

CONGRATULATIONS TO DEAN
SMITH

Congratulations are due Dean
Smith of Delaware College for the
showing made in the number Of
students this year. Last spring
when War was declared, many
friends Of the College, were swept
off their feet in the excitement Of
the moment and expressed the fear
that College will likely be closed
another year" Even many OF the
Trustees expressed grave doubts
Of this years work. Dean Smith
took exactly the opposite view,
maintaining that such time, was
the occasion for the College to
render its greatest service. He
argued well, that in such q crisis
the College had wonderful oppor-
tunity TO do its bit in the War.
This idea presented TO the stu
dents caused them to take second
thought and do the practical thing
prepare themselves for Ser--'"e

meeting OF the Board Of Trustees
in June, Dean Smith presented 8
report giving the results Of a CEN
suS taken from the upper classes
expressing their intentions 10 re-
turn. He urged further. special
effort TO secure new students
Following this with mis- predictions
of this years student body, he pro
ceaied TO make good his claim
