Of YOU HAD ALL THE WORLD
AND ITS GOLD"

From coast to coast men, women
and children are singing the latest
song hit, eff You Had All the World
and It's Gold" It's words go straight
to the heart-they embody sentiments
we all feel. Perhaps that is one rea-
son why eff You Had All the World
and It's Gold" has had such tremen-
dous success.
Here are the words:
l was wishing that l had the riches to
buy
All my dreams as l sat by the fire
What life | would live, what could
riches not give?
What more could a heart desire?
When my fond little mother drew
close to my side,
''There are some things, my child,
you can't buy" she replied.
Mothers eyes beam on me- in their
depths I can see
Light of love far more precious than
gold.
Silver threads in her hair, and her
brow lined with care,
Tell me she is growing old.
Then l see that the teardrops are dim.
ming her eyes,
AS she smiles thru her tears l can't
help realize:

There weren't any gloomy looking
faces among the members of Co. D
and Co. A as they left Minot on their
way to France. We say France, be-
cause it is the general belief that the
boys will be in Paris for their Christ
mas dinners. While there were tears
in the eyes of father, mother, sister
brother, wife or sweetheart, the brave
lads smiled, realizing that this would
make the parting so much easier Wor-
rying never was worth while. An at
tempt was made to start cheering as
the trains pulled out, but the crowd
didn't feel like cheering. This is bust
ness too grim to cause people to do
much cheering, Notwithstanding the
fact that they are all back Of the boys
who have gone to meet the enemy.

to pay lot more for your child's
coat this fall. You'd be surprised
when you see what good looking

quality for price though. You'll

SHAWNEE.

In Leviticus x:9 we find, DO not drink
Wine nor strong drink" and in Proverbs
XNlII:3l, Look not thou upon the wine
when IL is red" Alcoholic liquors are
poisons and their sales and importations
should be handled likewise. People are
often more careless than dumb animals
the latter will feed upon good palatable
plants and leave the obnoxious weeds
alone, while people do not always do it.
Everyone realizes that the wonderful
agent which governs every part of the
body is the nervous system. Alcohol in
evitably poisons the system and produc-
es a thick speech and an unsteady gait.
Wine, though not a strong alcoholic Ii
quor, is believed by many to be produc-
ing more drunkness than stronger bev-
erages. 1t figures conspicuously in mod
ern society, before the adult stage is at
tanned and having the power to create
a taste for more or tendency for strong
beverages, should never be used or en-
couraged in the use thereof by those who
love civic righteousness and tomorrow's
prosperity Young man you cannot af-
ford to be stupid and bad or run the risk
of becoming a drunkard. Realizing the
sale and importation Of alcoholic liquors
to be a menace to society, the people Of
New Castle County should again have
the referendum vote on the liquor traf-
fic, and Sussex and Kent Counties should
have shipping laws prohibiting the inn
portation of such. But young man and
woman, boy and girl, be that as it may,
remember this golden text all the days
Of your life, Never drink drop of alco-
holic liquor"

ing the merits Of the measures which
ask money from the public treasury.
Delaware is small, and when the
wants Of every institution is urged, it
is first necessary to ascertain if the
people can afford the assumption Of
the financial load We believe it is
better to have better highways and
public schools, than to plunge further
into collegiate education for Delaware
at this time. 1t is better that all Del

WHEN A Dist is NOT A DEBT

We have no less an authority than the
United States Government itself for the
assertion that the question of debt in
relation to bond issues for permanent
highways is in itself relatively less i'm
portant than the question Of sound plan
ming and good management of the loan
The very presence Of the improved road
system increases the value Of community
property and therefore the resources sup
porting the loan. 1t is a well establish
ed business principle that extension of
credit within safe limits is necessary for
maximum results, and the voters of this
community have an opportunity to ex-
tend that credit in way that will un-
doubtedly enhance the value OF proper
ty.
Our people are fair-minded. No voter.
we are quite sure. will oppose borrowing
money by bond issue to build system
of permanent roads. when once convinc-
ed that funds thus obtained with their
approval win be spent in accordance
with sound business principles. That is
all they want to know, and it is the duty
Of our officials to assure them on that
point i'm any discussion where the ques-
tion of permanent highways is brought
up.
The issuance Of highway bonds is es-
sentially method Of capitalizing the re-
sources Of a community for the purpose
Of creating improved highways The
fundamental advantages of the bond plan
is the construction Of a good roads sys-
TEN al once, but there are secondary ad-
vantages in building roads in long
stretches and in planning the mainten-
ance Of such roads.
The question is not merely whether a
community shall incur a debt; it is also
a question as to whether the maximum
economic efficiency and the full develop
ment Of the public wealth win be best
promoted by using public credit
We believe the voters Of the county
are going to decide to use that credit in
building system Of permanent high
ways.
Il must be done why not now?

THERE SEEMS to be a bitter feel
ing among the wing of the Republican
Party in Delaware known as the "or-
ganization.' towards that part of the
party which does not approve of their
policies-and especially the methods
applied in the campaign of 1916 to
maintain their hold on the Republican
organization. The wrecking course
operated in Kent County and the City
of Wilmington could have but one re-
suit. and it came in the Independent
Ticket. The result is certainly a suf-
icient warning to the present State
Central Committee of the Republican
Party; but. evidence is accumulating
that wisdom has not yet gained any
place with the leaders, or any realiz-
ing sense of where they are heading
If the desire to land the Republican
Party on the rocks of defeat is the
aim of the Organization" Republicans
now directing affairs, then they are
on a straight course. In the many
campaigns since 1880 in Delaware we
fail to recall another such as that of
1916. 1t was marked by stupid ad-
vice and every move from the primary
to the election featured the fact that
lack of ability to meet successfully
political situations. and that person
al exaltation were the only qualifica-
tiOns of those in authority directing
the campaign. There never was a
time up to a few days before the No !
vember election of 1916, but that all |
differences could have been settled, |
and every Office in Delaware would |
have been filled by a Republican at
this time. 1t is now apparent that
the same stubborn. the same obtuse
of the present and
the future, actuates the men who now
compose the State Central Committee
Of the Republican Party of Delaware,
and who are directing their Senators
in the legislature. BY their lack of
foresight in the summer of 1916, and
lack of wisdom since the result of the
election was known, they forfeited
control of the State Senate and played
lirectly into the hands of the man
hey so grievOusly wronged. Even af-
er the Democratic Senators had brok-
IN the deadlock, over the President
Pro TEN selection, another chance
vas given for reconciliation the
poiled children would have none of
t. and nothing remained for the Re
publican Senators to do. but complete
he organization with Democratic aid.
md start the work of the 1917 ses-
ion after a month of contention. Can
nd will the Republican Party of
Delaware see what must be done for
and party alignment?
We have not faith to believe the man
ow directing the Organization" wing d
+ the party are capable of handling
he job in either State or County or 4.
anization. 1t is up to the people /
'hO can arise above individual issues.

THE MOVE to get a State Highway
Commission for Delaware, which was
launched last Friday in Wilmington,
when men from all parts of Delaware
sat for two hours at luncheon serv-
ed at the Hotel dupont and discussed
the framing of a bill to present to the
lesislature-was conceived in the
right spirit, and it must be born to be
a blessing to Delaware. The strong
point is the fact that it is removed
from county or district influence, and
that the financing is provided for in a
way which pledges ample and per-
manent support from the source
which needs well-built roads most,
automobiles, auto trucks. traction en-
gines and heavy traffic. There must
be a general understanding of the
problem by all the people. The pro-
posed act creates a State Highway
Commission to finance. build and to
maintain the State highways
may run in any and all directions in
Delaware. 1t will relieve the coun-
ties of maintenance of such roads or
parts of roads as may be taken over
for the State Highway system, and
the roads will be built to outlast the
bonds which may be issued for their
construction. This is the first real
move to get permanent State roads in
Delaware, and those who are working
in the front of Delawares best cit
izenship, in political, in business, in
financial and social affairs, and with
a real effort of all the people. real
era for good roads will start with the
creation by the legislature of this
State Highway Commission Every
Senator and every Representative
should vote for it.

AT A TINE when the Industrial
House for Girls must be helped, and
also meet the very urgent necessity
that Delaware shall provide for the
feebleminded within her boundaries.
and also keep up the fixed charges of
maintaining the State Hospital for the
Insane, it is an inopportune time to
press for additional buildings and ap-
preparations for Delaware College and
the Woman's Affiliated College at
Newark. 1t is shown that S275,000
will be necessary to carry out the
plans and support them for the next
two years. This would be a splendid
work for Delaware. Any lines of col
legiate education-but, unfortunately,
there are far more urgent needs for
public school education, and needs
which viii touch every individual in
Delaware. Then the necessity for bet
ter highways is urgent, and in fact
future education of the common peo-
pie must have the first call upon the
treasury, for it is through good roads
and better facilities to travel over
Delaware for the common people, will
come well grounded belief by the peo-
pie in opportunities which afford both
public school and higher education.

THE PROMINENCE given by the
Organization" branch of the Republi-
can Party in Delaware, to ex-senator
J. Frank Alice, as a factor in the re-
volt against the directors of the pol
icies of the Republican Party in its
internal affairs, is altogether beyond
the facts, and places Mr.. Alice as a
shining leader of the movement This
is absolutely wrong so far as state
wide application, for the men in Sus-
sex County, where the organization is
strongest. Mr.. Alice is almost un-
known. and certainly has no infu-
ence The Progressives stand for re-
form in State and County laws. They
stand for taxation of all property, and
insist that the stocks. bonds and mort
cages of the rich. shall pay an equal
amount in taxes, as the farms and live
stock of Delaware is compelled to pay.
The men who are against the Organ
ization" are against all preferred in
terests, which by reason of political
control enjoy exemption from taxa
tion by reason of control of the legis-
lature to prevent the enacting of fair
and just assessment and taxing laws.
These are the things the people want,
and are what that part of the Repub-
lican Party which is opposing the Or
ganization" is demanding. No indi-
yidual can overshadow these issues
they must come to effect.
