Why not then, take the sense of the coun4
try? i.
Why not take an appeal to the qualified
voters?
1t IS easily done!
Let the President call off his dogs
Let him live up to what he said in his letter
to the Editor of the Hearst papers!
Let him quit encouraging the p. o. Depart
ment to destroy the freedom of the press.
Let him make it known that he disapproves
the threats being made by the Department of
Justice.
Let him sternly rebuke the soldiers who
broke up peaceable assembly in Boston, and
the y. S. Deputies who broke up the peacea-
bic meeting at Centre, Alabama.
Let him show his respect for home democ4=
racy.
Let him rebuke by his example those Sena4
tors and Representatives who scornfully
treat, as out of date, the Constitution they
swore to support.
Let the people be encouraged to hold their
peaceable mass meetings, and express their
honest convictions.
Let citizens be encouraged to petition Meia
pubtac serUa11ts, and to make their wishes
known to those servants.
Let the employees quit bossing their ems
ployers 2
Let the agents defer to their principals.
Let words like these come from the Gov.
eminent, and in less than 80 days you will
hear the thunder of popular condemnation
roll from Sea to Sea.
The people abhor this conscript law
The people detest the press gag law, which
prevents free man from choosing his own
paper, magazine, and book +
The people are outraged by the insolence
of Postmasters who assume the right to ST..

The people know that, if their reading

not worth a rush.

be heard!

attempt denial?
None will do it. The campaign is too re-

But after the election Germany gaze notice,
that on Feb. 1, 1917, she would begin her
ruthless U-Boat campaign in the zone of the
blockade.
All neutrals trying to run the blockade,
must look out they would be sunk without
warning.
My countrymen, keep your mind on that
point
That's the point in the case.
When President Wilson received that no
tice, during the latter port Of January 1917,
he took month to deliberate.
1t was grave matter, and month could
well be devoted to it.
There was no hurry-why?
Because the issue was limited to blockade
running.
Did the President search the historical
records, in the effort to find precedents??
Probably he did. IF so, what did he find?
He found that neutral rights on the seas
are naval questions, governed by maritime
law, and always fought out By the sea-goiaag
fighters Of the disputants.
Is there any precedent for waging land
war, over question arising out of block
AIDE?
There IS not!
No such precedent can be found in the
whole history of the world.
Consequently, on Feb 26, 1917, President
Wilson went before Congress and made an
address, declaring for armed neutrality; that
is, neutrality prepared to defend it's rights
by arms
Where had those rights been violated?
On the ocean.
Where must they be defended?
On the ocean.

powers during the interval between the two
sessions of Congress.
Feb. Goth, 1917, was the time when the
President advanced to the position which he
should have taken from the very beginning,
after Germany declared her blockade of Eng
land, Feb 1915.
It took the President two years to progress
from the attitude of tame submission, to one
of arming defonsjcezy, to protect our neutral
rights on the ocean,
But it took him only one month to leap
forward, from his position of armed neu-
tralitN to that Of becoming The nctine nnLtnez

In other words, the TURKS and Aust15ans

But has the President expressed his de-

He has not.

WAR FOR FREEDOM
AND RELIGION
DR.. Rowan Urges Conserva-
ton Of Food Supply

Not only the freedom of the
world but Christianity itself is at
stake, in the war we have entered,
DR.. Rowan declared in a Fourth
of July address delivered in the
Newark Presbyterian Church last
Sunday. "The religion of Ger
many today is another and differ
ent religion from that of Martin
Luther. It is responsible to a
large degree for the low ideals of
German philosophy and state
craft" he said. The speaker chose
as his text, Proverbs 24-6: "For by
wise council thou shalt make thy
war;" discussing the wise council
respecting the temporal needs and
the spiritual needs of the nation.
'Do we appreciate what this
thing MEANS" the speaker said.
Perhaps as many as 100000 will
be required to cross the ocean.
What a tax upon our transport
system, our commissary and mu-
milton departments! AS fast as
possible the requirements must be
recruited to the full quota, prop
erly trained and seasoned, and
sent to begin the work of crushing
the great German machine-the
greatest military force the world
has ever known. Every available
ship must be made ready to combat
the submarine menace and drive
the foe from the sea. We must
furnish for the war the ships, the
flying machines with which to
drive the proud opponents of mill
tarism to their knees" ...
DR.. Rowan dwelt upon the neces-
sity of feeding the whole world.
quoting Herbert Hoover in his
statement, "Unless we can feed
both our own people and the men
who are fighting for us across the
water, the great cause which we
have Joined will be lost" "This is
the plea that we would ring in
your ears on this day set apart by
the President as Food Saving Day.
Let us engage everywhere in fore
ing the ground to yield a max
imum supply of food, and let US
be exceedingly frugal of the sup
ply on hand. We will be all the
better for the sacrifice and we will
emerge from the contest, a purer,

holds numerous records, but his
most notable victories were gained
in the big line, and last October
at Lexington he trotted the third
heat in a winning race at 2.0712,
his present record.
Delawareans who have followed
Harry J. S. through his many
races, will doubtless welcome the
chance to see him in action against
what sportsmen declare to be the
best classed field of trotters ever
brought together in one race.

a more useful, and a more con-
secrated nation. Even if we were
not able to explain the shortage
of food in the world it is an un-
deniable fact. But it can be ex-
planned. First of all there are
about 20 million men, who three
years ago were engegd in produc-
ing food for the worlds supply.
They are now in the army and
their places in the agricultural and
industrial worlds have not been
filled. Second the grain and veg
etable supplies have been below
normal while extra demands are
made on them to feed the soldiers
at the front. Third, immense
quantities of food have been des-
troyed at sea by the submarines.
SO then, we are not confronted
with a theory to be worked out as
we would game Of chess, but an
actual condition, calling for i'm
mediate action. With a united
effort on our part and with a wise
conservation of food we can meet
the unusual demand and feed the
world.
The speaker referred to the
spiritual needs of the nation, quot
ing the Saviour's admonition,
Watch and Pray" "When thor
oughly Inundated before our
Cod" the speaker said, "he
will look down upon us from
the heavens and make us invinc-
ible. Then shall our nation take
part in the great council to free
Germany of this dangerous sys-
tenn. Then and there only will the
peace of the world be established.
With God on our side we send our
armies across the water to end
forever militarism and save the
oppressed German people from

BAD EPIDEMIC OF
BROWN ROT REPORTED
Thorough Spraying Urged By
Specialists

Observations of the Plant Path
ologist of Delaware College have
confirmed the rumors that severe
blossom and twig infection OF
peach by the brown rot fungus
has taken place. This has been SC
severe in several localities as to
already cause heavy losses of fruit
and injury to trees. Many peach
orchards show severe canker in
jury and gum is oozing at points
of infection where blossoms and
fruit have been destroyed. The
fungus is fruiting freely in these
cankers, thus providing an abund-
ance of spores for a rapid infec-
ton of the peaches as they reach
the ripening stages.
1t is imperative that in order to
save the peach crop in these Sc
verely infected districts that one
or two thorough sprayings of the
peach orchard must be carried out.
The self boiled lime sulphur spray
should be thoroly applied to fruit,
foliage, and branches. To make
the self boiled lime sulphur take
pounds of stone lime (high cal
cium) and 8 pounds of sulphur and
so gallons of water. To prepare,
place the pounds of stone lime
in barrel and start Stacking with
little water. Make the 8 pounds
of sulphur to a thin paste with
water. Add the sulphur paste
slowly to the Stacking lime. Keep
the lime from burning dry by ad-
ding water when necessary but do
not drown. Considerable heat is
necessary to make a proper spray.
Mix we'll and allow stacking to
continue 10 to 20 minutes, then
add 20 to 80 gallons of water.
Thoroly mix, strain and then make
up to so gallons by addition of
water.
ThorO spraying will be needed to
save the peach crop.

Antidotes for
Bodily Poisons
(By L. H. SMITH, VI. d.

The victims of auto-intoXicationa are
many thousand every day. By reason
of the toxins, or poisons bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria
are sent all through the blood chan
nels and the victim feels tired, sleepy
and headachy, or the brain doesn't
work as usual The best treatment
for fhis is to drink hot water before
breakfast-plenty of water all day
and procure a simple laxative, made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, etc,
with no calomel and entirely vege-
table, which can be obtained at any
drug store, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
Equally important is it to cleanse
kidneys and bladder, and drinking

them to certain extent. Then obtain

WORSE AND WORSE,

Speaking at a dinner the other night.
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, of the United States
army, referred to those who make ba6
blunders and fall deeper in trying Il
recttfy them, and told the following story
as an example:
At social affair some time since q
pretty woman met one Of the masculine
guests for the first time, and while con.
versing with him the fair one chanced
to notice decidedly homely man on the
opposite side of the room.
Mr.. Smith," she sweetly remarked
turning to her companion, "can you tel
me the name of the man who is speakina q
with Mr.. Jones? Positively, don't think
ever saw a man quite SO homely in ali
my life.''
why, thought you had met him, Miss
simpson, responded Mr.. Smith, with a
quiet little smile. He is my brother
t"Your brother!" exclaimed the pretty
woman, with every evidence OF great en-
barrassment. Really. Mr.. Smith, you
must pardon me; / hadn't noticed the re-
