THE FIRST PIOW.

Old Tubal Cain was badly bored
by all the wrangles of his day; he
made n plowShare of sword, and
thought that war was done away.
. Gee whiz, . lie said, when people
see how much plowshare beats a
sword, they'll get forge and try,
like me, to sancly earn their bed and
board. The tools of war | laugh to
scorn, no worthy triunphs have
they won; man cant cultivate his
corn with any sort of patent gun.
War makes the weary nations weep,
and agriculture makes them grin;
no hrlsbandman can shear his sheep
with catapult or culverin. Alas
for good old Tuhal Cain, and all
the lessons that he taught! Ills
bright example was in vain, for
ever since we've scrapped and
fought. The steel that should
have made a spade, if we had fol-
lowed up his plan, was used to
form Il flashing blade, with which
to carve our fellowman. The
metal that would form pillow
became a sword Of weight and
size. to slice a fellow from his
brow clear down to where his wish
bone lies. | wonder if we're wiser
now, since war has bled the ma
/ tions white? Shall we proceed
to make a plow, and say to swords
and guns, Good nightY' Or will
t we rest nine years or ten, and
/ then get hungry for a scrap, and
t say, Give me the sword again
/ we want to disarrange the map?"

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest
HIS PARENTS. CONSOLATION.


Against the dangers that we dread
Against the world that he lies dead,
il it should comc--we have the pride
OF knowing that he put aside
All selfish pleasures and was glad
To give the Flag the best he hnd.
Against the absence, long and grim,
We keep the manly soul of him;
Balanced against the hurt and ache
That longing for our boy must make,
This consolation we may know;
That he was unafraid to go.
Great though our grief shall be II he
Shall never more come home from sea,
More kecnly we'd have felt the pain
If he had chosen to remain.
This golden thought shall soothe our woe,
In such a need he wished to go.
If it must be that he shall fall,
His spoken words We can recall,
When time has dried our bitter tears,
Ills voice shall speak throughout the
years
And We shall hear him whispering low
''Far worse than death, were not 10 go. :

So, when il comes to a consideration
of these questions Of national Importance,
there is no room for setting aside the little
State Of Delaware, by reason of her limited
territory. From the birth OF the nation
she has sent men to the national councils
that could hold their own with the best
that other States could send. She sent
the immortal Caesar Rodney in the ex-
treme crisis that madeit possible for him
to insure the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. And in every national crisis Of the
country's history she has had men to send
to the front and to fight for the great
cause of worlds democracy. on even

The question now is Where will the
Kaiser 90? TO this there may be but
one appropriate answer-but we refrain
from expressing it We may, however,
add this: That he will have to undergo,
to use the popular expression, "All that
is coming to him."

Some of our soldiers, according to re-
ports, seem inclined to give some of the
surrendering German soldiers "a punch in

1t might be considered presumptuous
for the people of Delaware to put for

propriateness OF the Presidents selection
in this most important high consldera-
ton. But, not at all. Delaware is a
small State, but since she aligned her
self as one of the Original Thirteen States
that formed the Confederacy from which
the great Union OF States sprang, she has
held her own, in intellectual force and
statesmanlike qualities, with the best that
other and larger States could offer

For Peace Commission Delegates.

1--WE wish the President might find 1T
practicable to attend the coming Peace
Conference" says the Brooklyn Eagle.
So say we all of us But it is not prac-
ticable.
Notwithstanding the tentative VIOLA
tjons of the "unwritten law" against the
President of the United States depart
ing from United States territory during
the tenure of his Office, it Will be admitted,
as q safe proposition: That nc should
not do so. and should not depart far from
the domains of his home, without the
most extraordinary reasons for his de-
parture from established precedent.
Do these extraordinary reasons prevail
at this time, in respect OF our country $
representation at the great Peace Con-
ference which is to lay down the terms
of peace, following the greatest, most
stupendous war in all the history OF the
world?
They may, or they may not. That IS
for the future to determine.
We may safely say that the con
sensus Of public opinion is that President
Wilson should not lay down the duties OF
his office as President Of the United
States, and surrender them TO Vice
President Marshall, simply by reason OF
the almost universal sentiment that he
would he a most valuable member Of the
Peace Commission There is no disputing
this fact. He would he But would he
not he an even more valuable asset as an
advisory member of the conference
Indeed, this he is bound to be, by virtue
of his commanding position as President
of the United States, the leading nation
of the Allies now about TO confront the
great issues Of peace, after they have So
successfully and glonously conducted the
war to a righteous conclusion.
Even should the Peace Conference be
held in this country, il would not he
advisable that President Wilson should
surrender his grave official duties and
become a member Of this momentous
dcliberative assembly, even as its pre-
siding officer 1t might, indeed, be
gracious compliment, wherever the Peace
Conference may be held, TO elect him
honorary president, in recognition of what
he has done to bring about victory IN
war for the worlds democracy.
And this would be great, but emf
nently deserved, honor for our President
