WILL CONGRESS CONDEMN ITSELF.

IN HE Republican Publicity Association, through its
president Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr. has given out
the following statement from It's Washington head
quarters:
senator Weeks wants Congress to undertake sys-
temacally thorough study Of the problems OF recon-
struction. Senator Oyerman wants the whole problem
turned over to the President
senator Weeks has confidence that there are men in
Congress abundantly qualified for the work. Senator
Overman evidently has confidence in Congress
Senator Weeks knows that the President has already
more work than he do and that reconstruction leg
islaon is a matter that must be put up TO Congress
eventually he proposes to have Congress take up the
task at once Senator Overman also knows that the
President has work than he attend to efficiently
but he thinks the President can appoint some sub
ordnates who can do the work better than Congress can
Senator Weeks proposes a specially selected Joint
committee Of Congress, composed Of equal number OF
members OF each party. Senator Overman proposes a
commission selected by the President. composed Of a
majority Of Democrats, thus giving partisan color 10
work thai should be above partsanshp In every way
senator Weeks believes that the people Of the several
states and districts have Congress some their
abest and most representative citizens and that these
men are best able to devise plans for aferwar
sruction. Senator Oyerman has poor opinion OF the
selections the people have made-he evidently thinks
the people have sent to Washington bunch OF ncom-
peents Inferior TO the President would select for
service on reconstruction commission
weeks prefers the judgment OF men who get their
credentials direct from the people has scanned
the soclaisc crowd the President has been drawing
around him. and they look good to him. He wants more
OF them. lie thinks plans for afterwar reconstruction
should be formulated by that type Of men,
Congress has before 70 the Weeks idea and the
oyerman idea. The country viii Judge Congress largely
by the choice II makes"
Therefore, the natural question s "Wil Congress by
turning down the Weeks proposition confess that Il feels
it is incapable Of doing the things Weeks would have

PUT AN END TO THIS ORGIE.

- BSERVATION Of conditions Of drunkenness, pro-
~ family and obscenity existing streets and
ports received relative TO the condition Of many patients
in regular and emergency hospitals and private
homes, convince that rigid restrictions should be
placed at once upon the wholesale liquor tranlc in
Wilmington
With the saloons closed by order OF the Board OF
Health and with the wholesale places permitted TO
main wide open TO do landoce business saturnalia
has resulted from wholesale buying and drinking that
should be stopped at once only for the sake OF the
public health but also for the sake OF public peace and
order and the national defense.
As a rule t is not the Spanish influenza which kills
person, but the pneumonia which follows IT, We be-
neye it is axiom in the medical profession that
pneumonia victim who has been addicted 70 the use Of
alcoholic liquors has scant chance for recovery. There
fore this liquor drinking orgle which has resulted from
closing the retail places and permitting the wholesale
places to remain open prejudcal TO public health
The number Of drunken profane and obscene
in our streets as result OF existing quordspensng
conditions has become scandal and is an assault upon
public law. order and decency.
This is time when It IS especially important that
every American life be protected and and that
every American and woman be kept physically and
mentally nt to do his her bit toward winning the war
Therefore If excessive liquor drinking makes person
liable TO die from influenza attack, with its
pneumonia aftermath such excessive drinking makes
him her unit FOR work. then certainly such conditions
as obtain here prejudlcial to- our country's
war-wnnng interests and end should be put 10 them
by our public officials.
We do not that the source Of supply for thoss
who are in and who really need spirltuous liquors
should be shut on but we do mean that the sales OF
liquor by wholesalers should be made only upon doctors
prescriptions and that the abuse OF that prescription
privilege should be guarded against by summary MEANS
Certainly something must be done 70 put an end 20
existing conditions.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS.

From the Dover Delawarean.
Although the serious epidemic OF
Spanish Influenza which is now raging
through this country, and which has
found a foothold in Dover, is expected
TO interfere 10 a considerable extent
with the Fourth Liberty Loan drive,
as all public meetings have been for
hidden. yet this should not prevent the
patriotic citizens OF this nation from
doing their full bit TO make the loan
success. 10 should not be necessary
TO hold public meetings 70 get the peo-
pie OF Dover, nor any other community,
TO purchase Liberty Bonds There are
few Amberican citizens who are not
fully aware OF the great Importance OF
making the Fourth Liberty Loan a sue
cess by subscribing the entire six bill
lions Every true patriot, therefore,
should gladly and freely volunteer his
or her subscription, without waiting
TO hear speeches on the subject at pub
lie meetings, or for solicitors TO call at
their homes. Buy your Liberty Bonds

TALROTs LOYAL WOMEN.

from the Eastern Star-Dem0crat.
Very few localities can boast OF more
loyal and patriotic women than Talbot.
Working at every opportune moment
for the boys in the trenches and i'm the
camps, they very often deny themselves
Of many necessities in order 10 fulnll
some little deed OF kindness.
An instance came TO light not long
since. A widow lady carrying on a
farm in Talbot suffered the Government
10 take all her hired help for the Army
and compelled her 90 go out in the
fields and gather the crops. besides
preparing the soil for a big wheat
acreage.
Several such cases have come TO our
notice, and it is no more than just that
the community should know OF these
self-sacrilclng women doing their part
toward winning the war. For a woman
30 get out In the fields all day picking
acre after acre OF tomatoes and tilllng
the ground for fall planting is no easy
task. especially when not accustomed
20 doing it. Thinking the Government
needed her men 10 fight she raised no
objection. but determined TO increase
her wheat acreage I'm accordance with
the Governments request.
Women displaying such courage as
this are responsible for the present
high efficiency Of the Red Cross Chapter
Of this county. They have the real
spirit OF sacrifice. and in face OF all
obstacles are determined TO go on until
the objective is reached.
We have heard OF men quitting farm
ing this year for want OF labor, and II
they had had the spirit OF some Of the
women mentioned an additional acre

THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET


From the Laurel Leader.
In looking over the candidates elected
last Saturday by Republicans in Sus-
sex county for the various county Of
fees 1t Is pleasing to note that the
ticket is without a weak spot. There
was no fight or disturbance among
those seeking candidacy and in the one
or two instances where there were con-
tests the defeated asplrants were only
too glad 10 come forward at once and
guarantee their full support to those
who had been selected.
Sussex county viii show a strong Re-
publican vote at the coming election
and as there Is no question but what
10 shall be a Republican year through
out, Sussex county will no doubt place
Republicans in the great majority Of
offices.
Political experts, men who are ac-
quainted with conditions from all sec
tiOns OF the county are unanimous I'm
their declarations that Sussex county
VIII this year go on record by placing
Republicans IN office, even In the dis
tricts that are known TO be Democratic.
In this immediate vicinity the neht for
representative Will undoubtedly be OF
keen interest as the Republican candl-
date IS already making inrOads in Demo-
cratic ranks. Our candidate, 6. Jacob
kenney, Is a man we'll known, respect
ed and very capable for the Oflce that
he seeks. He has a host OF friends
among Democrats and knowing his abil-
ity as they do they will not draw q
party line in giving him their vote.
There VIII be numerous sharp con-
tests but all signs point toward a
splendid Republican victory In our
cOunty-and there Is no reason why
there should not be such a victory
we have a powerful ticket, one that
cannot be picked apart and weakened.
