newspaper editors of the country concerning ques-
ton which involves the most vital interests of the
nation and every individual in it, including them
selves?
Certain members OF Congress have already attempted
to answer this question
They say that it means that the newspaper editors
crooks and traitors.
We say that such Interpretation is so preposterous
that it itself.
And we suggest that the real answer is so obvious
that it would be insult to the intelligence Of our
readers to state it,
incidentally it may be pointed out that few news
papers Of any standing urging war with Germany
What they saying and what they have been
saying since the day that Germany announced her in
tonton Of torpedoing humanity is that II Germany
carries out her threat is inevitable and necessary
II the United States is to continue to exist indie
pendent nation.
This is precisely what every American must see and
feel unless he be blinded by ce-atanyprice ideal
ism is numbered among that small but pernciousy
active group which claims all the privileges of Ameri-
citizenship for members who are giving the great
part Of their loyalty the land they left when they
came here.
The American press neither deserves asks credit
for urging the nation TO give the President undivided
support in his policy Of defending American rights and
honor against Prussian fghtfulness even if this policy
lead to war.
It is proud to have incurred the enmity Of those
Congressman who candidates for the Ksisers iron
cross.
American newspapers regardless OF party leaning,
will stand back OF President Wilson so long as he
stands back OF tho American flag and American honor
aud shows by his official conduct that he is ready
to return blow for blow in every assault that may be
made upon them by Germany any other nation.
What is true OF American newspapers generally is
- equally true Of Delaware newspapers. Their position
has been strengthened materially by the sinking Of
the Algonquin, the City of Memphis the Illinois and
the Vgilanca. and the heartess treatment accorded
their by tho commanders Of the German subma-
rines.

American Newspapers and German FriqEtfuLles
{ E DIT o RIA L ,

TILE charge was recently made in Congress and
pcated at peace-at-any price meeting in Chicago
that there is conspiracy among the metropolitan
newspapers OF the United States 70 force this country
into war with Germany.
It was said that J. p Morgan & Co.. the financial
agents OF the Allies in the United States, organized
and financed the conspiracy in the interest OF the Al
lies and the American munition makers.
OF course, proof offered support the charge
and will be offered, for the very simple reason
that there is no proof.
We have too much the profession OF jour
nslism TO argue the question OF the honesty OF the
American press
But this charge makes the opportunity for calling
attention to what to us to be a most significant
facthat nearly IL not quite all Of the daily news
papers periodicals and magazines irrespective OF their
politics the character Of their clientele are lined up
behind the President in the grayest crisis which has
confronted the nation since the Civil War
Now it seems to us that there must be a good rca-
son for this unanimy Of sentiment on the part Of the
newspaper editors OF America, particularly when we
take into account that more than half OF them only
few short months back were doing their utmost to dc
feat the President for reelection.
We modest to suggest that newspaper editors
more intelligent and more patriotic than anv other
class OF people
But it will probably be conceded that they arc as
we'll il not better, informed than the average Of men
engaged in other businesses and professions
The very nature OF their work-gathoring distribut-
ing and interpreting the news of the worldputs them
in rather advantageous position so far as being in
formed is concerned.
They are specialists in current history just as much
rs the lawyer the doctor and tho artisan are special
lists in their respective professions and trades
That there is often wide disagreement among them
as to the Interpretation OF the news simply proves
that newspaper editors have different mental attitudes
and different selfish interest just as other folk have
that they arc no more free from prejudice than arc
other folk
II this be fair statement, what shall VIC say when
we find a practically unanimous sentiment among the

WHO GETS ITf
fom the Elkton Whig

From the Elkton Wing.
We understand, on good authority.
that the approaching session Of the
Wilmington NJ. r. Conference is like
ly to witness a good deal of scramble
on the part of several preachers for
appointment TO the Ell1ton NJ. r.
Church We are informed that tho
present pastor has been located here
only two years and under normal con-
ditiOns, would not no likely to move;
that in fact he has been invited to re-
turn. But il seems that some of the
"brethren"--in fact. quite few of
the brethren" .-- have come TO feel
that the reputed matrimonial pickings
in this parish ought not to be mono
pOlized by ANY ONE OF their iratCr-
nifty. for long at time.
The report has become current that
tho ElktOn station can be made to af
ford a preacher some several thou
sands of dollars er year from we'd
ding fees alone-and that Git is said
has set a lot OF ministerial mouths TO
watering. The story goes that one of
the ministerial brethren has declared
that if they will Just let him be ap-
pointed 20 Elkton for one year. he will
thereafter retire entirely from the
ministry. Evidently he knows. or
thinks he know. what a harvest
awaits him here. Under the circum-
stances it was not such a far-fetched
suggestion on the part OF a city daily
that the Elkton Nj +. Church might
put its pastorate up at auction TO the
highest bidder. instead Of bothering
to raise a preachers salary"
OF course, the fellow who made that
suggestion was utterly wanting in
churchly graces-but as a natter of
pure. cold-blooded thrift. it vas not
