THE PRESENT outlook in political
affairs in Delaware gives the Repub-
Iican party encouragement to believe
that Delaware will continue to give
q substantial majority for its ticket
as nominated from United States
Senator down to the county officials.
In Sussex County the party is unit
ed and working harmOniously for vic
tory, and with the deep rooted dis
satisfaction which prevails among the
people at the policy of the Democrat
ic party in all departments of its
management, there is a just reason to
expect that the usual majority will be
cast for the whole Republican ticket.
In Kent County the Republicans are
working in harmony in all districts
as a whole; but, there is not the COM
plete organization like that of years
ago, when the Union Republican par
ty controlled the political machinery.
On the whole it is an even bet that
Kent County will again elect Repub-
licans at the election on Tuesday,
November 5th. The same report
comes frCp Wilmington and New Cas-
tie county, and there is no reason for
anxiety over the result being in favor
of the whole Republican, ticket. Ev-
cry man must think for himself, and
act accordingly in this election. It
is not a question of personal likes or
dislikes, so much as it is securing the
men who will support Loyalty the
policies of government in the future,
which will bring about prosperity and
happiness of the nation. In another
column we print an article bearing
upon this subject Snich should be
carefully read by every man before
casting his ballot, and if he is a real
patriot, we know that he will elect
to vote for the Republican nominees
on November 5th.

the situation this country may face
is imminently dangerous. But, unless
this fright produces a constructive
action nothing is accomplished. If
we are not frightened that we may be
prepared, then we continue in idle
dreams OF the automatic prosperity of
peace, until stern reality oVertakes
us.
Now is the time to prepare for re-
construction. For practical purposes
we can read the lesson for tomorrow
in the pages of yesterday.
The Republican party, always con-
Istructive, possessing the ablest brains
in America, rescued the nation from
the consequences of the panic of 1898,
and established the broad, deep, sound
foundations OF the national prosperity
which has in this present time made
us the first nation in the world. Now
again this same Republican party
must be brought to this commanding I
service that is required for the terrific I
era that shortly will be upon us.
The Republican party always has
been the preparedness party. For
years it advocated and agitated for
war preparedness. It is now siren
uously advocating peace prepared
ness.
The Republican party realizes that
the problems of peace will outmaster
the problems Of war. 1t realizes that
the war is merely the preliminary era
from which this nation is to be pro-
iected into the fiercest economic strife
Of all time.
We have had panics in the past. It
S not necessary that any of them be
in the era that is coming.

ty now and to provide against them

will be fatal to wait until they are
ctually upon us. The Republican
arty true to its history of cOnstruc-
We craftsmanship, for it has been
illed upon always to rescue the ma
on from financial panic and from
e imminence of financial panic, al
.ady has laid the ground work by
'esenting in Congress the Weeks
esolution calling for a committee on
construction. If this bill passes
e present Congress, and if the next
lngress is Republican, then its pro-
sions may be carried out immediate
and the necessary legislative steps
II then be taken to avert the perils

The United States today stands on
e Threshold of the open door. Be
nd lies the smiling plain of peace.
It that plain will prove to be a

ides are instantly found to take us

In the selection of laborers from non
war industries consideration is to be
given as to the extent to which men
shall be taken from less essential In
dustries, such as those covered by the
so-called work or fight order Having
first determined the relative contribu-
ton which should be made by indus
tries, consideration is then to be given
to the question of proportion of the re-
auired contribution of each industry
that shall be contributed by the varl
Gus employers engaged therein.
In farming communities the boards
are first to determine thase who are
regularly not employed in agricultural
pursuits and who can leave the com,
nunity for another community which
has war works plants.
The Federal authorities call particu-

are being substituted everywhere for
men in unskilled work and they en-
courage the community boards to give
aid to this change wherever possible.

was almost gone, she told how the In
spector went along the line OF child

one child here, another there, whose
lips were a little redder than the
others. and whose cheeks were little
fuller, and because of their health they
were turned away and forced to go
hungry as long as they were physic-
ally able to stand it.
Must Save This Years Wheat.
I'VE do have a bumper crop" Of
wheat this year." she said, 'but since
the demand on Americas wheat crop
is the most tremendous ever, since all
our seed wheat was used in the strug-
gle for bread last spring, and since
farmers never have known two bumper
crops in succession, we must prepare
for a possible famine next year and
savewheat as we never did before"
How about it, asked one boy of
General Pershing, Are the folks back
home with us?"
And then newspapers come with the
big headlines telling about the atti-

having to beg the people to heed the

of necessity.

are begrudging wheat to the allies
Can we let them think for one moment

Miss Barker told Of the secure posi-

gained control OF the great black lands

how the Germans have taken all the

More than that, 1t Is the pork and

what the boys on the front need most. !"
Can you imagine how it would
seem at night to be so tired you were
almost exhausted, to take OH wet

trench slippers and pull damp
blanket over you; to sleep In drizzly

rapidly last winter that they were

at that time, America was asked to
