Dear Countrymcn and Co-Workcrs:
This is time of much turmoil and
strife among the nations of earth,
among which our own dear nation, the
United States, is part. Our stars
and stripes are at stake for us to
save or lose; to hold or see Germany
with her mighty army of forty years
training subduc and crush into ruins.
War is an awful thing. 1t means
destruction Of homes, lives, and for
tunes while in progress, but when
conquered it means peace and hap

or course, we all know the cause Of
this war. World wide powers, su-
premacy of high seas, sinking of our
ships, our birds Of commerce, lack of
strong central government on the part

THE IMPROVED COOKING.

These are days when the number Of
directions for cooking and baking and
frying and stewing all kinds Of things to
eat provides the occupation of many
households The human appetite Is So
exacting that il is constantly wandering
about to get something better to eat than
il has Even the good old Mother )
recipes are falling into dislIse to make
place for the new tangled preparations
sent out by some department at Wash
ington But it is doubtful if at many
points there has been much improvement
in culinary methods. The fact is that the
old-style cooking, which is the simple
way OF cooking, has not been much I'M
proved by government regulations.
Between the old colOred nanny of
the Southern kitchen and the French chef
Of a New York fashionable club there
is a wide difference, but we should not
wonder if, taking it altogether, the former
holds the prize for the most enjoyable
triumphs Of the culinary art But there
is no end TO cooking if the appetite is
to determine the style, which may not be
the true rule for eating, since the appe-
tite is SO much under the sway Of the mis-
guided senses. Ohio State Journal

PRESS COMMENT.
RK-OR-FIGHT AMENDMENT

Secretary Baker has explained that
the Thomas work-or-6ght amendment
to the new draft law docs nothing other
than to provide definite statute for an
actual status. The plan Of work hRht
rs now being carried out very adequately.
Yet there are cases, probably numerous
ones, of men achieving a status OF working
in an essential industry To avoid the drai
and then leaving that industry with II
measure of immunity
This class Of tricksters and slackers
is aimed at in the proposed amendment.
There is here no reflection upon the loyal
tv of labor and the leaders OF the unions
are ncedlcSsly disturbed. As a matter
of fact there is only one employer OF labor
today, and that is Uncle Sam. and he
knows no unions just now save the union
of the people of the country to win the
war II is no time for the setting up of
scnsiblitics but for the display Of sound
sense And this indicates that men IN
the unions are upon a parity with the
myriads of other workers of all classes
out of unions, who arc not disturbed by
the work-or-hght legislation as proposed.
The condition exists of the work or
fight alternative; there is only need for
legislation to give it full force. And this
would be in the interest of all alike except
the shirkcrs, for whom the labor unions
need feel no sensibllitIcs, as shlrkers are
Ms likely as not TO be wholly unrelated to
such. and the law could not, therefore,
be pointed at union men. Baltimore

DON'T TRAVEL UNLESS YOU MUST

Dircctor-Gcneral McAdoo's injunction
to the public. Don't Travel, rs an
appeal for economy quite as necessary as
have been Mr. lIoovcr's cXhortatiOns 10
the people TO save wheat and sugar.
He does not say 50, but he implies that
the recent increase in railroad fares was
ordered, not as was commonly supposed
primarily 10 increase the revenues of
the railways, but to discourage unneces-
sary trips by rail This expedicnt having
failed he appeals 10 that spirit Of patriot
ism which has never failed IN the past and
IS not likely TO fail now to bring about
the desired results
The enormous movement Of troops
and freight consequent upon the sending
Of the army to France and upon the prep
aratIons for its maintenance and for the
prosecution of the war has already put the
railroad facilities of the country To n
severe test, ia addition 10 the normal
and unavoidable stimulation of travel
due 90 fcverlsh industrial activities and
the business of the various military can
tonmcnts These things have made
travel under the best Of circumstances
uncomfortable and difficult so that 1t IS
hard to imagine any ono engaging IN It
merely for pleasure Even the lot Of
the commutcr who has to stand morning
and evening on his trip from and to the
suburban regions has found that out TO
his sorrow Philadelphia Ledger.

Republican Platforms of This Year.

II NAV we'll be imagined that the makers
of Republican party platforms IN the
State conventions Of their party, tins
wear. will have a difficult problem TO con-
front. And that they may solve II salts
factoriIv is a matter Of conjecture
Conditions are vastly different in this
time Of war. In times past, al that a
State convention Of the minority party
had to do was to adopt resolutions assaIl-
ing the policy Of the national admlnistra-
tion. The administration conventions,
naturally. praised the national admins
tration and assured il Of united support
This wear the Republican party Is
in the minority. At the election OF two
wears ago it was beaten. Mr., Wilson
was reelected to the Presidency and a
Congress in accord with him was sent to
Washington hy the votes Of the people
If conditions were as they prevailed
wears ago. the task Of the Republican
platform makers this year would nc easy.
All they would have to do would hc 70
dcnouncc the administration; 70 challenge
every item Of its work in Congress and
promise 10 the people that if they restored
tho Republican party to power every
thing would be done TO make the country
entirely happy and prosperous.
But this wear, such camouhagc Will
not answer the purposes Of the Re
publican politicians They do not dare,
this time, to arraign the Democratic
national administration and call upon
the people to drive IT from power For
the Republican party, in any State, TO
take this position would he 10 deliberately
invite rcpudiation by the voters at the
election.
The war has made this difference The
present national administration entered
upon the war in response to a plain and
positive declaration Of public sentiment.
And that public sentiment has been with
it in all the days that have passed since
war was declared.
Republican politicians, therefore, when
confronted with the task OF preparing
party platforms, find themselves serious
~ handicapped by the plain fact that
they cannot afford to array their party
in opposition to the national adminlstra-
ton in its war policy. They must declare
themselves in support Of the adminlstra-
ton, or write themselves down as sup
porters of the enemies OF our country.
The deliverance Of the Delaware Re
publican State Convention, in session at
Dover on Tuesday last, probably led the
way for all Republican State Conven-
ton deliverances throughout this year 5
political campaign The platform adopted
at Dover does not oppose the national
administration On the contrary, it eX-
tends Republican support to all measures
that the administration may put forth 10
win the war OF course, il could not do
otherwise. And after having done this,
it extends approval to the old Republi-
can doctrine of protective tariff taxation,
to be made the chief political issue Of the
country after the war shall come to an
end
Well, the people Of this country settled
the protective tariff issue, most effectualIy,
at the election Of 1912 1t is not to be
believed for an instant that they will ever
permit the country to return TO a high
protective tarff regime.

Senator Vardaman's Defeat.

The Democratic public primaries in
Mississippi, on Tuesday, resulted in the
defeat of United States Senator James X .
Vardaman Representative Byron pat
Harrison received the approval Of a
majority of the Mississippi Democrats and
was chosen as the nominee for United
States Senator.
1t may be accepted that the Dem
ocratic voters Of Mississippi are satisfied
with this selection, and this being the
case, it may be said that it is not the
particular concern Of the rest Of the coun-
try whether the choice is satisfactory or
not But IN respect Of the defeat Of
Nardaman by the Democratic voters Of
Mississippi the Democrats Of the entire
country will incline to say Amen"
Vardaman ike Tillman Of South Caro-
lima, entered the United States Senate
as a FIRE eater TilIman soon recognized
the requirements Of the high station,
and set aside his fire-eating proclivities
Giving reign to his natural abilities, he
soon achieved position as one Of the most
influential representatives Of the Dem
ocratic membership Of the Senate
But not 50 with Vardaman lie went
to Washington as d "fre-eater," and he
never rose beyond that position lie
opposed the administration in its war
measures. He reflected no credit upon
his State by his services ID the Senate
And now. when he went before the Dem
ocratic electorate Of Mississippi, asking
for Endorsement, he has been repudiated

Caleb S. Pennewill.

The death, at Dover, Tuesday night, of
Caleb Scwell Pcnncwill, at the age of SO
years, recalls 10 mind the passing away
of representatives of the fine old citizen
ship of the State of Delaware. Among
these, Mr.. Pennewil stood conspicuous
ms one of the best.
Mr.. Pennewill lived most of hls life
in Dover, where he always had high
position among the best citizens of Kent
county. lie was a leading business man
of the town. He was for years president
of the Farmers Bank of Delaware. And
in 1904, hy reason of his high standing
and his integrity rs n citizen, he was
nominated as the Democratic party s
candidate for governor of Delaware.
Partisan conditions that then prevailed
in this State operated against his election
to the office.
But Mr.. Pcnnewill was a high OK
ponent of the best citizenship of the state
of Delaware lie lived to time that
made it possible to say of him that he
died full of years and honors." And the
highest respect of those who live after
him will be paid to his memory.

ONE OF MANY LIVES.
By Edgar A. Guest

Or taking long and pleasant trips

Without a whim except my own
To crafty, I'd be content
With little wheresoe'e or ! went.
'But ! am one Of many lives
And each upon my service thrivos.
Throughout my years Of strength and
pride
II is my duty to provide
Their pleasures and, by toll, to make
The pathways they shall later take.
And if ] fail they suffer woe.
And If ! sin the shame they know,
And if | do not do my best,
In shabby garments they'll be dressed.
"If ] pursue some selfish whim

He must be fitted for the strife
That shall he in his later life

What shall he think of me II |
Shall let this time of youth go by
And send him, unequippcd, to face

RAILROAD COMPLAINTS.

The complaints being made TO the
United States railroad administration OF
inadequate service and bad service relate
TO the passenger side of railroad trans
portation. They are thus worthy Of
notice as eyldcncing d continued failure
on the part Of the travelling public TO
understand why the railroads were taken
over by the Federal government.
They we're not taken over TO prove or
dsprove the wisdom of government
ownership but the better TO concentrate
their operations upon the work OF winning
the war. They were not taken over the
better 10 accommodate ordinary paSsen-
ger traffic but the better to subordinate
1t to the transportation OF troops to their
training camps and thence 10 the seaboard
and the tlghtlng-hncs. Passenger fares
were not raised to help railroad revenue
SO much as 10 cut down needless travel,
and il they have failed OF that effect, com
plants of inadequate service can only
serve to Justify the fact complained OF.
The duty Of helping the country win
the war follows the citizen on a railroad
journey as it abides with him at home.
The tracks and the locomotives and all
the facilities Of the railroad are more
needed 70 move soldiers and their mi-
nitions and supplies than to move the
civilian, either for has business or, least
Of all, for his pleasure. Even before the
government took over the roads, passen-
ger service was cut right and left for this
same purpose Of m0bllIzlng the whole
transportation power Of the country
for the prosecution of the war. II Will
continue TO be subordInated 10 any extent
required for the same purpose under
government operation New IorkW orld
