What Could They Expect?

Judging by the various reports and
editorial comment in Philadelphia news
papers, the liquor interests of Pcnnsyl-
wanna are alreafy at war with Governor
elect Sproul over the issue of license or
no license. They claim that he gave
them promises.
But what could they expect? 1t was
understood, during the campaign, that
Mr.. Sproul stood for prohibition, and
there was not the slightest misunder-
standing that his Democratic opponent,
Eugene c. Bonniwell, was in favor of
the licensed sale OF Intoxicating liquor.
And the people elected Mr.. Sproul by
a large majority.
Therefore, Pennsylvania stands today,
by public record, as in favor of prohi-
bition. 1t is idle for the liquor interests
to now protest and claim they were de-
ceived by the promises of the Republican
leaders
BY the vote of her people at the No
vember election, Pennsylvania now stands
as a Prohibition State. There Is no
evading the popular verdict.

Delaware Makes Good

AS was expected, Delaware has shown
such results in the campaign for the
War Work Fund as to indicate that when
final results are counted she will hC found
to have gone far 'ovcr the top
OF course That is the Delaware
way" in matters OF this kind
Nevertheless, LET us make il more than
good. The sum allotted to Delaware was

than a million dollars before the close
Of the campaign.
The active work will he continued until
Monday night DO not let our little, but
great State lag. We have been at the
forefront in every other campaign that
appealed to the people for financial con-
tlbutions in support Of the war, and
cannot now afford to he dcrclict
In this respect il is pertinent TO say
that the demands for war work following
the war will nc even more insistent, Tor
awhile. than the demands for actual war
support. Peace hath her victims, as well
as war. 1t is for our soldiers in peace,
and the victims left in the trail Of war,
that this fund is called for.
Let us give not only to the limit, but

PRESS COMMENT.
DIRECTORS AND SLACKERS.

The measure Of tho patriotism OF the
country is indicated by the difficulty
the War Department is experiencing
in dealing with the problem of the
conscientious objector. A plan for using
these men as attendants in prisons,
reform schools and insane asyluns is
being considered, with prospect that
the two frst-named rejcct, because the
inmates conscientiously object to con-
scientious objectors. The insane, how
ever, will not realize tho ignominy of
such supervision. All other attempts
to make use of the services of the con-
scientious objector with profit to the
government appear to have failed.
The conscientious objector is distin-
g,iishcd from thcA ordinary Stacker by
the fact that he is not always coward
and cannot be approac he'd in the manner
reserved for towards. He is simply a
fanatic, who prides himself upon his
martydom. Numerous instances are re-
ported to illustrate the consistency of
his obstinacy. The provision of the
law giving him work To do in nuncom-
blatant branches of the service, such as
rcmount dcpots, the salvage service and
the transportation repair service, do not
bring relief in the cases of those who
object to performing any service which
even indirectly aids war, and, besides,
both in the Quartermaster Depart
mcnt and in the Engineering Corps
there is often necessity for fighting IN
scf-dciensc and drilling is part of the
duty. Still another reason IS that men
in these branches who are not con
sciontous objectors strongly resent the
intrusion of unwclComc assoclates.-

AS TO HELIGOLAND.

1t was in 1890, when the relations
between the British and German; En-
pires we're of the most cordial description,
that one Of the greatest lndiscretlons
ever committed by an English Premier
took place-the turning over OF the Is
land Of Heligoland to the Kaiser IN re-
turn for the protectorate of Zanzibar.
Lord Salisbury was then directing the
foreign affairs Of the empire, in addit ION
to being head Of the government lie
was approached cautiously by William
Ii. s ambassador at London With true
Prussian craft the latter pointed out that
the gray rock in the North Sen was use
less to Great Britain and that his master
desired it only for sentimental reasons
After alias Ills Excellency suggested
what was it more than small German
summer resort under a foreign flag? The
Prime Minister saw light through Prussian
eyes. announced his decision to ParlIa-
nent and there was no discussion on the
subject.
Great Britain only woke up few days
after the bargain had bten consummated
Every German ship available was dressed
with flags and took part in the procession.
And hardly had the standard of the new
owners been raised than work was begun
on the island o thorn in the side of the
Allies from August, 1914, until the other
day.-Ncw York Herald.

TAXATION FOR INVESTMENT,

Th ere may be good reason 10 continue
for a while our government loans to the
Allies If there is, the American people
are not likely to question them. In any
event our government should not be per
mittcd longer to confound this financing
of our Allies with satisfying our own
war obligations.
In app0rtloning our war expenses,
which were to TIC met with taxes and with
loans-roughly onc-thi d taxes and two
thirds bonds government hitherto
included our financing of the Allies II
this was not in fact dcvio us method Of
increasing the proportion OF taxes, then
1t was sheer nonsense The advances
to the Allies were no more our war ex-
pcnses than they were contributions to
our Red Cross They were foreign IN
ycstmcnts. pure and simple.
1t will he insuffcrable to have the Ameri-
can people taxed in peace. rs they have
been taxed IN war, 10 provide funds for
our own treasury to invest abroad. III
our Allies still need money from US, II
the need 1t IN huge volume, no dou t
thcv can get it. No doubt 1t can be
supplied TO them with good grace. But
not dollar Of it should be raised by
taxation Of the American people. Since
the Allies pay to our government interest
on all sums advanced. and since they Will

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Two weeks ago all of the G. Q. p.
spouters and editorial writers in Penn

the "pepul' to rebuke the President of
the United States. lie had asked that u
Congress composed of a majority Of
Democrats be elected to help him. The
repuI7 were admonished that 1T was a
dangerous proposition to permit the
Chief Executive to dominate Congress
Now that the election is over the G.:

that they are gong to see to it that the

Our reference, of course, is to our dls-
tinguished fellow-citizcn and thorough
Delawarean-4,lso citizen of the coun-
try who stands on par with all the rest
''sans pucr ct sans rcproche e'-George
Gray A plain, homcly name is that,
without distinguished appellative that
denotes descendence from families OF
title or nobility. But plain American
name and one that stands for the best
traditions of our country, and is inscribed
upon the annals of our country's hnest
accomplishments, from the very birth OF
our nation.
But, it may be urged, Judge Gray is
too old. But so it might have been
urged. wears ago, when he so signally
served on n commission that so satlsiac-
torily settled n great strike of coal miners
in PENNSYLVANIA. So it might have been
urged against him when he subsequently
entered upon the many public campaigns
for public and patriotic service IN when
he has done such splendid work.
No man is old so long as his mind If
active and his physical body fairly Wig
orous. Judge Gray, as we of Wilmington
know, in his declining years is a splendid
specimen of physical manhood.
No man can foretcll the future, but

Gazed into space with sombcr eyes and

"God bring the dear lads, when their
work is over, homcr
God bring them home those boys2-ah,
they who bear
The dreadful shock, they shall return
some dav
With newborn souls, and they shall ever
wear
A loftier mien than when they went
away.
But they who fall, knights of the living

Who meet the dawn upon foreign
shore,
They shall come back from Frances pop
