not spare condemnation. But in 1906

Splendid Work by Delawar are Women.

While the support gwen the Fourth
Liberty Loan by the people of Delaware,
the subscriptions amounting to about
TWENTY-FIVE million dollars, was mag
nifcent accomplishment. rejecting high
credit upon all concerned, there is one
element of the work that stands forth
conspicuous. and that should have It's due
need of praise and credit And that is
the splendid record made by the Women 5
Committee, Mrs Henry Ridgely of Dover,
chairman, which had the entire State
for its field
The women of the committee fixed
their object at FIVE millions from the city
of Wilmington, and as much more as
possible from the rest Of the State When
the returns were all compiled, the graft
fying total Of more than SIX millions from
Wilmington and a grand total Of IS, 622,-
800 was reported to Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo
No state in tho country can show a
better record Of the results of woman s
work in the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign Il Is doubtful if any State can
equal this record TO Mrs Ridgely
and her able co-workers the thanks of
the people of Delaware arc due, as their
work reflects credit upon the State as well
as upon the women engaged in it.

Try Your rough and high-havored Ian

and vet religion and patriotism are very
much alike They arc both sacred We do
not speak Of this from pious standpoints,
but from the fact that patriotism is en-
titled to the best, and the best Is simple,
Doric strong
A man better proclaims his patriotism
by quiet uttcrance; by calling a spade a
spade and not a heliva spade The finest
language is the simplest We remember
what reporter once said OF Senator
Frye. one of the strongest OF our orators.
He saw the senator busily engaged at his
desk at some writing and supposlng it was
some great state paper approached and
asked the news. And then the reporter
noticed that Mr. Frye was supposing
himself boy writing letters in monosyl-
labels to another boy. This great orator
was simply trying to cut down his ad-
jectives and adverbs And there never was a
man who could express patriotism better
than Senator Frye State journal.

Why Should Il Not Please Germany

Our friends, the rapidly partisan Re
publican enemy. have been thrown into
fits over statement in the public advcr-
tisement by the Democratic State Com
mittec to the effect that the election of q
Republican Congress, next Tuesday
would be equivalent, in sense, to giving
aid and comfort to the enemy" Well
would it not, in a sense, and very i'm
portant sense?
There is no denying the fact that the
Tuesday, would give great JOY to the
German people and to all friends of Ger
many They hate President Wilson.
They regard him as the one man who has
done more than any other man to brng
Germany to her knees. Beaten and
driven back by the armies of the United
States, which our government, with un-
paralleled enterprise and success, has
sent abroad, they hold the President
largely responsible for this great accom-
plishment, and even more positively for
bringing Germany TO book in the recent
diplomatic battles Certainly, Ger
many. Germans and all German sympa-
thizers would rejoice nightly over re-
pudation of Pre-, idcnt Wilson at next
Tuesday s election And all such who are
voters in this country most surely will
vote that way.
On the other hand, all our Allies in
Europe would be panied and puzzled by
such verdict They would look upon
it as an expression of distrust of them.
They have co-operated most cordially
with President Wilson in all diplomatic
moves, and have accepted his leadership.
They would look upon a public repudla-
ton OF the President as direct blow at
the entire cause of al tho hllics now SO
successfully fighting the German enemy
This is tho situation. herein is the
issue There can be no other Our
people, at next Tuesdays election, must
either please Germany and dlsheartcn
our Allies or give vote Of confidence to
President Wilson. and thereby show to
our Allies that VIC arc with them, heart
and soul
