THE PURPOSE to inaugurate COM
munity singing in Milford, is the right
course to pursue in arousing the dor
mant patriotic action, which is ne
cessary for the people Of Milford and
vicinity to get an active and real in
terest in the war, and what it means
to all the people of the United States.
Community singing, when led by
spirited music, arouses the spirit Of
men and women to a point where re-
suits in action follow quickly, and
for that reason, if for no other. the
holding of community singing in the
open air in Milford, should be, and
must be carried into successful effort
at least once each week. Let all help
IN this.

AT THE last session of the Board
Of Pardons a petition was presented
which was signed by prominent Dem
Ocratic politicians of Kent County,
asking for the pardon of Dick Wright,
who was convicted of a number of
robberies in Kent County about six
years ago, and for which he was SEN
fenced to fourteen years penal SER
vitude at the workhouse. Just what
the grounds for his pardon may be,
the news reporters from Dover, or
the newspapers of that place, have
not set forth, so far as we can learn.
Certain it is, that Wright was a dan
gerOus character while at liberty and
unless there be good reasons present
ed to the Board of Pardons why he
should be turned out, his victims of
former rObberies will feel more safe
with him serving the balance of his
term.

POLLY OF The circus
At the Palace Theatre, July 2s and ~

Polly of the Circus, 4" an elaborate
screen presentation of Margaret Mayo S
great drama of circus life, is the first OF
the beautiful productions to be released
by the new Golcwyn Pictures Corpora
ton. Mae Marsh is the star of this i'm
mense photo-spectacle which is to be
shown July 26th and 9th at the Palace
Theatre.
Polly of the Circus, as drama, was
one of the greatest successes of the
American stage, and made fortune for
its authors and owners. In films it takes
its place as one of the most remarkable
productions ever made.
Polly of the Circus" tells the story
of little circus orphan Mae Marsh
who has been raised by Toby, the
clown (Charles Eldridge.) Polly is hurt
in an accident and has to remain behind
while the show goes on. She is taken to
the home of the minister, where her
presence in the house is turned into
scandal by the narrow-m minded village
gossips.
This leads to her going back to the
circus, but the following Spring the
circus comes back to the little town, and
through the Intervention of a fight and
a hre IN the Big Top, Polly and the
minister find each other-and happi-
ness.
This is picture of laughter and tears;
picture of a score of circus thrills and.
in fact, you see a complete circus per
Torrance on the screen. The most
amazing of all the scenes is the burning
of the main tent during the evening
performance and the wild stampede Of
the audience. Everett Shinn, the fam.
GUS artist, designed the settings, and
Margaret Mayo, the author. personally
aided Charles Horan, the director of the
picture. in his work,

FOR MANY years it has been re-
cognized that the Republican Party
should have located at Dover, a news
paper which was strong and author
itative, and able TO speak for the Re-
publicans of Kent County, especially.
Thirty years ago the State Sentinel
was a force in the political affairs of
Delaware. 1t was probably at its
highest influential period under the
directorate of the late Henry Cannon,
and it also did effective service in as
sisting to unhOrse the Democratic
Party during the period between 1883
and 1896; but since then it lost its
power as a weekly newspaper, and
only recently passed into new owner
ship. which has brought about the
present result, a splendid eight-page
newspaper, with seven columns to the
page. From the appearance of the
first two issues of the reconstructed
Sentinel we may assume them to be
criterions of those which are to fol-
low, and there will be no question as
TO its successful work for the Repub-
iican Party in Delaware, and its
standing as a local weekly newspa-
per. The entire appearance of the
paper has been changed from the
fixed and formal customs of quarter
of a century ago, to a snappy appear
ing newspaper of the present. Mod
ern machinery and equipment have
supplanted the old, while young force
and energy have been called to the
directorate of the business in all its
branches. James F. Alice is new to
the newspaper business, but he is full
u the energy Of youth, and fearless
Of the shafts of Democratic criticism
and political attacks, and with these
traits and a sincere purpose to create
public faith in the principles of the
Republican Party, he will bring to
the people of Kent County, and to
Delaware, an educational force which
will be felt during the present cam
paign. The State Sentinel under its
new management will be one of the
strong factors for the advancement of
the people Of middle Delaware, and
will I'll real position as a political
organ for the Republican Party at the
State Capitol.

IT SEEMS as but yesterday since
Frank Dunn started to publish at
Dover, The Index, but in reality it
was thirty-two years ago, and though
the time has made many changes, yet
the Dover Index is filling its respon-
sibility as a moulder of public senti-
ment, with the same force today as it
did under its originator who has long
since passed away Under the guild
ance of the son, Thomas Dunn, the
paper is an influential factor in mid
die Delaware affairs, and a respected
leader in Democratic Party affairs in
Kent County. Its anniversary occurr-
ed only a few days ago, and we con-
gratulate the publisher of the Index
for its lusty publication.

THERE is one paper printed in
Smyrna, Delaware, the Smyrna Times
which has never depended upon pub
lie patronage, or catered to political
favors, for forty years, or more. The
Times has rightly believed that the
mission Of the local weekly paper
was to present local affairs, and lead
the local interests up to the best in
town, county and state government.
and it has succeeded so well that its
editors have been respected and con-
sidered one of the best assets of the
town. In announcing its anniversary
the present editor very modestly fail
ed to call attention to this strong
point of the reasons for the Smyrna
Times being successful, and standing
as one Of the cleanest of all the week
Iy publications in all Delaware. May
others follow in the same lines. Ii
IS right for all papers to have a po-
itical preference, and TO so direct |
public sentiment that the best results
hall follow political preferment,
nd that has been the policy of Rob
rt Hoffecker, the editor of the
myrna Times.

THE UNITED STATES government
has issued a new set of rules regulat-
ing the use of the United States mail
service by newspapers, which will,
with the new postage rates that went
into effect this month, make neces-
sary a curtailment Of the courtesies
which have been heretofore extended
to patrons Of the weekly papers. In
addition to these new rulings, the
price for blank paper for printing
purposes has made another advance,
which cOmpels publishers generally
TO meet the new conditions. 1t will
be necessary for the subscription
price of weekly papers to be advanc-
ed, if they are to be continued, and to
cover the cost of issuing the papers.
The publishers of the Milford Chron-
icle have been reluctant to make the
advance, on purely sentimental
grounds, which briefly are these, viz:
forty years ago the Chronicle was
started as a weekly paper at the sub
scriptiOn price Of 81 per year, and |
the reluctance to make any change ip
that rate has held off any advance in |
the subscription price. 1t has now
reached the point, that as a business
it is impossible to print
and sell the Milford Chronicle for the
price of one dollar per year, and for
that reason. and the fact that paper.
type and labor have doubled in cost
and the prospect is that they will go
higher, the Milford Chronicle Pub
fishing Company will, at the first day
II September, 1918, advance the sub
rate to $3.50 per year. We
low have on our list five thousand ,
md more persons who are receiving
he Chronicle each week, for the
anne charge as when it was started
n 1878, and if there is one of that
lumber who feels that the cost of an
dditiOnal one half dollar, will make

'eekly visitor to the home, we will
