Where VIII He be Found?

The Delaware Leader of Laurel takes
a hopeful view of Republican harmony
in Delaware this year, but still there is a
vein of doubt apparent in it's optimism.
And that doubt is in respect of the result
of primaries for the selection OF candi-
date for United States Senator. II calls
for choice by the Republican voters in
a manner that indicates skepticism rs
to whether such choice will be permitted.
This campaign calls for the voice of
the voter ms never has IT been called upon
before" SAWS this Laurel Republican
organ THE voter has come to recognize
his part as a real factor in the govern
mcnt. and therefore he must accept the
coming election as vital question lie
must send TO Washington n man who has
been chosen by the voters NJ the pri-
marics, and when the candidates have
announced themselves. and stand before
the voters, let them he Judged carefully.
and with the best man selected, let
Republicans stand by him in body
But suppose the verdict Of the pri-
marics should be an Organization candi-
date for Senator. Would he be regarded
by the independents as representing the
voice of the voter. and supported
accordingly ?
Or, suppose tho choice should fall upon
a member Of the rebellious Independent
faction Would the Organization, st'li
smarting from the defeat administered
BY the boiling independents at the 1916
election, look upon him as representing
the voice of the voter
These questions are pertinent, and the
answers, after the primaries, may prove
very interesting.

PRESS COMMENT.


A memorandum submitted to the
Psident by Secretary of the Interior
Lane outlines a comprehensive plan under
which, in Mr. Lanes words, the govern
ment may say at the conclusion oil the
war to the returned soldiers: "lf you wish
to 30 upon farm here are variety OF
farms of which YOU may take your PICK,

As 10 the land for the proposed sol
der farms there is not the bountif'll
supply of 1860 or 1870. but through
reclamation processes and arrangement
with private holders, Mr.. Lane thinks
that millions of acres Of highly productive
lands can be made available. He mentions
particularly the project of reclalming the
Colorado basin. whereby more than
1000, 900 acres of arid land could he
rendered highly productive. As 10 reclaim

timbcrs have been cut. "cutovcr lands,

mentioned lands are now under private
control some form of negotiation he
tween the government and the owners

the Interior has in mind involves a plan

VALUE OF KNOWING.

The person who knows is the one who
does things, or gets them done right,
which is the same thing. More than that,
the person who knows commands respect
and trust That is tantamount TO getting
the money for in the end it is 'the know"
or the know how" for which one is paid
most. We had an impressive illustration
Of this in the earlier days of our prepara-
tions for winning the war by execution of
our ship-building program. The corpora
ton to which was awarded the contract
for creating the Hog Island shipyards and
operating them got its highly profitable
commission because it was believed to
know how to do the work better than
any other The government was willing
to pay for the know how II is good
business policy.
