WHEN THE opposition starts tC
combat what is the strongest and best
move on the political checkerboard
by starting what they hope may be-
come popular slogan or outery which
will operate to stop successful moves
in the campaign, it is a certainty that
the right road is being opened for
success at the polls. The Wilmington.
and some of the Philadelphia papers
which are interested in the political
affairs of Delaware, have within the
past ten days recognized the avail
ability of one of the strongest factors
in the senatorial campaign, who is
likely to develop great strength before
the people in both Kent and Sussex
Counties, by suggesting that he is not
to the manor born. This man is Ruby
R. Vale, of South Milford, Sussex
County, Delaware. There is not one
attack which can be made which will
not roll away and leave him spotless
before the people of Delaware. In
ability he is the peer of any who have
aspired to the United States Senate.
His life is an open book, clean as
hounds tooth, and his loyalty to the
Republican party can not be question
ed. What more is to be demanded? ?
What more can be demanded of any
citizen? Ruby r. Vale has the privi-
lege Of every citizen to follow a voca-
ton in one place and reside in another.
There are thousands of busines men
so engaged in every section OF this
great country. Ruby R. Vale has
thousands of friends in Delaware. who
will rally TO his support, as soon as
the campaign opens, and. if he is
nominated, he will be elected. This
may not please some Republicans. but
it will be welcome to the great major
ity of the Republican party in Della
ware, who want ability and loyalty |
to party to prevail in their United |
States Senators.

JUST HOW UNFAIR the editorial
writers in the daily papers of Will
mington have been toward Governor
Townsend during the special session
Of the legislature has been made evil
dent by news this week which came
from Dover, and which was printed in
the Wilmington daily papers. without
exception, we believe that each paper
there stated that Governor Townsend
had signed, more or less eagerly, the
War Bill over which there was so
much controversy from various per-
sons, and it now develops that the bill
has not been signed, or had not been
signed up to the middle of this week.
Why the malicious and doleful at
tacks were made upon the Governor,
the general public is now seeking for
information. Possibly the real facts
will be made known in the near fu-
ture, and it will be interesting reading.

Everyone knows the struggle the Allies
are making 10 resist the German attacks
in Europe. They need men. They need
US. Our soldiers must get there. This
takes money. While a part give their
lives It is as little as we, who stay at

IF WILMINGTON would impose a
poll" tax of two dollars upon every
voter in that city for the support OF
its public schools, as every other town
and rural district in Delaware now
does by law, and collects according
ly, the Wilmington schools would be
in better financial condition than they
now are, and the teachers would be
receiving a fair amount of pay for
their services. The voters of Will
mington who do not own real estate
do not pay one penny of taxes of any
kind for city or schools, or even coun-
ty. They get the benefit of municipal
and county government without a
cents cost to them as individuals, and
yet these are the men who bawl most
loud about Wilmington paying the
taxes of Delaware. Let that class
howl, they started the howl at the
special session of the legislature, by
asking that the exemption for income
tax for the State be made higher, so
that they could escape paying even
that small stipend. Let that class
howl as loud and as long as they will, |
but make them pay a poll tax of two
iollars per year for the public schools
md help the teachers to more pay for
heir services.

WE MUST EXPECT to hear in a
few days reports from the American
troops in France heavy casualty lists.
These casualties will bring home to
the thousands of families who have
sons across the ocean and who are
taking part in the great war opera
tions, the grave dangers of the war
in which We are engaged with pow
erful and dangerous enemy. When it
is realized that these great sacrifices
have to be made that we may have
freedom in political as well as com
mercial affairs, then will the Amer
lean people become earnest in their
efforts to bring the great war to an
end quickly. The more quickly the
more saving of human life. America
must pay her part of the great sacri-
fee which England, France, Italy and
the other countries have already paid,
and America is not now, nor never
will be a Stacker in the performance
of her duty to the world. Remember
that great casualty lists will mean that
the end of the war is coming near.

THE ENACTMENT of a bill in
Maryland which compels all vehicles
TO carry and display lights when
standing OF travelling upon the public
highways of Maryland. is a splendid
law and it will be enforced with ben
eft of every person who travels after
dark upon the roads. This will compel
Delaware teams using the Maryland
roads to carry lights and display them,
and this should have been a law in
Delaware many years ago. With
thousands of automobiles travelling
the highways, and horse-drawn vehi-
cles frequently out after nightfall,
there is danger to both when no lights
Of warning are used. Had such law
been upon the statute books of Della
ware, it is almost a certainty the
great sorrow which came to Governor
Townsend last winter, when his wife
was killed by the accident on the du-
Pont Boulevard, would never have
happened. Delaware must have a law
similar to that enacted in Maryland,
and the next session of the legisla-
ture will be called upon the create it.

According to Senator A. B. Fall, Of
New Mexico, the declared purpose of
Congress in legislating upon the price
Of wheat was to stimulate production
by guaranteeing the producer not less
than specified price, leaving the law
of supply and demand to fix the price
above that limit. The Food Admins
tration later fixed an absolute price
for wheat but since no price has been
fixed for corn the farmer can get more
from corn crop than from wheat, and
the tendency is to discourage rather
than stimulate production of wheat.
While heartily commencing the effort
to induce people TO consume corn in
order to save wheat to be shipped to
the Allies, Senator Fall thought it
error ito fix the price Of wheat for the
benefit cf the Allies and then compel
the people of the United States to sub
sist upon substitutes for which they
must pay more than double the amount
they have been accustomed to pay"
In the belief that such action would
stimulate the production of wheat.
Senator Fall voted for the amend
ment fixing the minimum price at
$3.50.

CAPTURE OF ROULERS
IMPORTANT VICTORY
City Is the First Large Place in Belgium
Which Has Been Reclaimed from
the Invaders.

Paris, Monday, Oct. l4-Roulers has
been taken by the allies. This city,
which before the war numbered $4,000
inhabitants, is the first important Bel
gian town from which the Germans
have been driven.
This morning, on the anniversary of
the battle OF Jena, which was fought
Oct. IA, 1906, the battle famed up along
the Flanders front and the first days
progress gives reason for high hopes.
Under the command of King Albert
of Belgium, the British, Belgian and
French armies attacked at $50 o'clock.
There was no artillery preparation, but
the troops advanced under cover OF a
creeping curtain of fire Of extreme pow
err Following the gales which have been
blowing for several days, the weather
turned fine and the troops progressed
methodically and in most satisfactory
way. Machine gun nests were forced to
surrender one after another and at 6
o'clock tonight the advance amounted
to four miles in the direction of Cour-
trai, for the British; four miles toward
Thielt for the French and two and a
half miles in the direction of Thorout,
for the Belgians
TO the French, in the center of the
line, fell the honor of capturing the city
Of Roulers and the plateau covering it.
Nearly ten thousand prisoners already
have been counted and large amount
Of material and many guns have been
taken. Mention also must be made of
