THE Democratic party with two years more 10

'Ihe plans now nearly completed provide Tor an en-
arged classification for both imports and exports" says
the departmental bulletin. "Instead Of the two cassn-
cations present used and lnsead Of the present alpha

be general assembling Of items under great groups
There is valid reason for destroying this alpha

them HIS charming personality and patriotic and civic
fervor always have oyershadowed the Garck and aided
materially giving to 1t the high degree OF popularity

BETTER STREETS.

From the Laurel Leader.
Several months ago proposed bond
issue for street Improvement was put
before The people OF Laurel and by a
very narrow margin 10 was defeated.
The action was probably justified In
accordance with tho conditions at the
time and should the same bond issue
be voted upon at this immediate time
it would no doubt again be defeated.
But 10 Is time that we look forward 10
street improvements and If the Mayor
and Council deem II wise 30 submit the
proposal again in the early Spring the
Indications are that 1t will be adopted.
The plan TO be followed 10 carry out
the much needed work and 10 accom-
pllsh a sound result Is to obtain as
early as possible complete data on the
question OF road building materials
and labor. We ind that even during
The greatest shortage In labor and the
highest prices OF materials for road
and street construction that our State
can carry out the work OF building
highways and while our community
does not desire 10 incur any abnormal
expense, we should be ready 10 act
when the FIRST signs OF a normal con-
ditlOn are found.
Would II not be wise to obtain at an
carly date complete information re-
garding road and street construction
and repair material and when this data
Is at hand with more definite lnfor-
nation regarding labor 10 submit the
facts 10 the public through the press
and have oil sides discussed. When
the public has been given a clear in
sight into conditions let them vote
again on the project. Let them under
stand fully just what the expense will
be and what the physicalq result viii
be. In additlon TO this give the public
concise and actual information regard
ing property benefits with streets I'm
proved.
IL is necessary that the public have
a full comprehension OF every feature
in the question OF improving streets
We are all aware that the streets in
Laurel are sadly In need OF repair and
could we produce facts that will show
permanent good result and saving over
makeshift repairs all would derive
benefit.

THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION. THE SAVIOR CLIQUE
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARITY

NE OF the best services that the Central Labor Union
" perform for itself and for the Of labor in
Wilmington is TO take action which will convince the
public especially The large wase-earning section Of
the public, that It resents the effort Of the sayor Demo-
cratic cliqde within the organization to make OF the
central body the Democratic city county and
State committees
The saylQrs and their cquomen seemingly would like
have the public believe that the central body vest
pocket instrument existing for their benet and 10
able them to select and elect candidates and to pull
lucrative jobs for themselves. The recent defeat Of
Senator Salisbury revealed clearly that labor VIII not
follow such for such purpose. Had 1t not been
for the Invisible Force which travelled up and down the
railroad lines Delaware the Senior Senator would have
been defeated by much larger plurality than featured
the election And that Invisible Force, radiatng from
Washington doubtless did not know the sayors
in existence
This Saylor clique cannot elect anybody. It cannot
even elect its own members 10 public office What It
gets is of appontiye nature, through knuokllng,
trucking process that is aughable TO the bystander
But the issue raised is not, and should not be,
laughing matter to the Central Labor Union and to the
subordinate unions which anliated with IT, They
should decide without further delay. this important
question:
rs the Central Labor Union an organization for
the advancement OF labor and open to Republicans,
Democrats, Social Democrats. Socialists. Prohibonsts,
Single Takers and Independents it organization
for the advancement Of the fortunes OF such Democratic
candidates the Sayor clique may fancy and favor,
especially when jobs for certain members OF that clique
in prospect and is IT, TO be used instrument for
abusing those self-respeong and intelligent union
who refuse to countenance support the sayor effort
to make every union to the Democratic paryg"
II Is high time for every high-mnded and high-cass
wage-eaner Delaware 10 protest against the effort Of
the Saylor clique TO the unions for their par
tcular political and iob-hunting enterprises.
Even sef-respecting union who Democrats
should resent the of the Saylor clique to put six

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

The Democratic method tof revenue
leglslatlon) would be TO continue as II
has begun, with correction OF sched-
ules. The Republicans wish TO begin
next March TO alter the system, as well
as the schedules-and they have no
such authority from the people"
Then what were the Congress cleo
tlons last month all eboutf The
American people thought. whatever
Democratic opinion may think, that
they were voting on the tho system
and method OF the present Democratic
Congress. They thought this no ear
nestly and acted upon the thought so
vigorously that as a matter OF fact
they repudated this Congress taxes
by voting out the Democratic majority
and voting in Republican majority,
Did they vote out the Democratic
takers so as TO affirm the Democratic
Congress- method and system OF tax
atlon2 Did they vote in Republican
takers so as to continue through them
the repudiated method and system?
II Is true that at the same elections
the American people voted an emphatic
dlsapprOval OF Mr.. Wilson's assump-
tlon OF mastery OF the legislative
powers OF the Government, mastery OF
the ballot box rights OF the people,
mastery OF all political powers, rights
and privileges within the nation.
Nevertheless, the primary and funda-
mental result achieved by the people
at the Congress elections less than one
month ago was TO put the Democratic
majOritles out OF the Senate and the
House, and 10 put In Republican major
lties 20 get rid OF Kitchin's taxes and
Kltchln's way Of taxing, replacing them
with taxes and with a system OF tax
alton expressive Of the will OF those
who did the voting.
The present Congress is trying, be-
fore II dies, 10 cheat the American
people OF their voted purpose. II aims
to do this by enactlng new tax legls-
latlon both for the fiscal year OF 1919
and for the fiscal year OF 1920. In
other words, the American people, even
after their national votes, can have no
more authority in thel- Congress than
in their White House.

VICTORY IS COMING
Herbert Knox Smith Assures Big Au-
 dience at Recreation Park.

A record breaking crowd attended the band concert and mass meeting at Recreation Park, Sunday evening, alz though the weather was of the most threatening. The speaking was done from a raised platform. which was decorated with American flags and was received by the large audience with marked attention showing that the people hungered for points on how they may further aid their sons, who are fighting for them.
 The meeting was opened by the playing of America, the audience standing at attention After one other selection, Superintendent Mar tindale of the local United States En- ployment Agency, who was chairman of the meeting, introduced the speak CT of the evening, Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington.
 Mr Smith said in part:
 We can say today what we could not have said year ago. the Ger mans will not get to Paris (Applause) Our men and our allies will see that Germany does not win this war. Ger many has realized that this war can not be won by force of arms, as they can go no farther forward. and are now being pushed back. They will soon start peace talk. but it will not work here as in Russia.
 In Russia. while the peace truce was 1 being signed. German troops were in- | vading Russia and now hold a large part of it. The German staff realizes that if peace is declared now, no mat | ter what happens on the western | front, with their gains in Russia, they 1 have won the war. The speaker ther exhibited a map, drawn by himself which proved this point
 Twice a German victory was only two or three hours off, but they were finally overcome. If they make peac1 now, it will be our finish, for by theil additions, they are trebled in size | Peace proposals will be made by Ger man paid spies and darn fools.
 The German war machine has beer l built on one large lie, that righ makes right. This war is not over {; question of territory but whether thu sword or free people is to rule tn, earth, and that is the only answe that we can give Germany. one mus die, and it is the sword
 We are now over the ridge In tn victory, but there is still a long fight Let all of us, who are not 5000 mile from the trenches. but in the req line, get in line. pledge all of ou forces. France and England wer licked before we entered the war ant they admit it. On America and it workers, depends the future of tn world. Fight until the principal C America, liberty. is spread over 4 earth,
 The concert was then resumed.
