PRESS COMMENT.
FEAR TO RUN THE RISK.

Gratitude for the fact that not q
single life was lost out of nearly 1900
lives on board the Persic when she WAS
torpedoed 200 miles from shore last Fri
day is naturally the first feeling. lmme-
diately after that must come admira-
tion for the seamanship that must have
contributed largely to this crafty ing
result. Bleaching ship which has
been wounded 200 miles out at sea, and
SO badly that her laundering was mt first
thought to be matter of minutes, is n
splendid achievement. In the third
place Is the consideration that the Pcrsic
was not cut out of convoy, but that she
was struck while catching up with her
fellow transports after falling behind
because of engine trouble.
Considering how desperately bent up
on success at sea Germany must now
be with her armies in defeat, the wonder
grows at thcinsigniiicant record attained
by the U-bonts against the convoy sys-

ciples of the Democratic party. He
was voted for as candidate for President.
in the National Democratic Convention
of 1896, but went down as did all other
worthy Democrats. before the Bryan
craze. Since that time he had not
been so conspicuous in the public lime
light, but he was always affectionately
remembered by his friends
Ex-senator Blackburn was known and
loved by many Delaware people, lie
made speeches here in Democratic cam
paigns and made friends by thousands,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats. for
Joe Blackburn was not ono Of those
men who would permit partisan politics to

men whose death will be more sincerely
than that of Senator Blackburn.

our babies starting their schooldays
beng taught to say Kindergarten sounds
unpatuotic,
Just now we are aiming To remove
so-called German culture from the minds
of our young The language is now
being omitted from the curriculum
of our schools. Why tolerate this Ger
man word for our beginners class?
Will Atlantic City take the lnitiati tive
and bring this matter to the notice
of the country at large?
In these strenuous and busy davs
surely our educators must have over
looked the foregoing. The writer is
throughly in sympathy with the good
work being done IN this preparatory
grade, and has personal knowledge of its
good and beneficial results Therefore
she is interested enough to bring the
matter to the attention of the public.
Our first impressions are lasting
ones, so why in later years recall our
