About Panics.

The Laurel Leader, faithful organ of
the New Dispensation management Of
the Republican party, has concern
about panics. IL harks back to the
panic that was prccipitated in 1893
the direct result, by the way, Of years
Of silver initiation legislation by Re-
publican Congresses holds it up as
p warning against an Endorsement of the
Wilson administration at next Tuesdays s
election. Its effects, says this organ, were
felt until a constructive Republican
administration came into power and
again filed the American dinner pail,
and again set the American nation on its
feet
Evidently in the belief Of this partisan
organ. business or financial panics and
Republican administrations are so IN
compatible that the latter is an absolute
preventive of the former. But one may
refer back to a scorc of years before the
panic of 1898. and recall the panic of
1873, the worst and most distressing the
country ever suffered under. 1t lasted for
SIX years, and men sought vainly for
employment good mechanics fighting
fiercely for little jobs as laborers. And
before and after that memorable pcr,od
of widespread suffering and deprivation,
the country was under a Republican ad-
minstration.
Also, to come nearer TO the present
day. how about the Roosevelt panic of
1907, so-called because, in the opinion of
many good business men, it was caused
bv the infamed utterances and lund
threats of President Roosevelt in respect
of the great corporate business interests OF
the country That panic, also, was under
a Republican administration.
So the panic record since 1873 Is as
follows. Under Democratic admins
tration, one, and that one not very dam
aging and soon ended, also due TO iniu-
irous Republican legislation Under
Republican administrations, two, one OF
them the worst ever experienced IN this
or any other country
Panlcs, industrial or financial. are not
partisan, as the Laurel Leader endeavors
to make it appear. They are no respectcrs
of political parties.

PRESS COMMENT.
GERMANY s tREAL CONDITION.

| We have had no more intelligent and
striking account of Cermany's internal
political condition than that given in
! this mornings World by Henry c. Emery.
| This former Yale professor and govern
ment official has Just been released from
| n seven-months' internment in Germany,
and from Copenhagen his statement is
| cablcd. A good part OF the period OF his
detention he spent III Berlin, where he
was able to get the views Of German
Liberals and to witness the notable
changes going on. Mr.. Emery is not de-
ceived as to the fact that there would
have been no chance Of democratic
movement in Germany but for military
defeat 1t is the triumphant sword of
Foch that has stricken off the military
shackles OF Germany. Even now, were
the army able To win victories, all talk of
democratlzlng the government would bc
suppressed at once. But Mr.. Emery is
confident that the waters are now let
loose and cannot again be damned. lie
represents the prevailing sentiment as
willingness TO sacrifice the Kaiser or any
other German institution which stands
in the WAY of peace. With this goes an
avowed dread lest German cities bc iaid
in ashes and German territory devastated.
"Why are we hatcd?" This is the ques-
ton which educated Germans repeatedly
put to Professor Emery. He might have
made sententious reply in the American
saving: God hates a coward. But the
main point to keep in mind just now Is
that the Germans are crumbing behind
the lines as we'll as at the front; and that
President Wilson's fire upon German
autocracy is proving rs deadly as the
guns beating upon the German armies
Already we have the news that the Ger
man government is about to inquire what
will he the terms of an arnisticc imposed

Higher Trolley Fares.

According TO a compIltion made by
the American Electric Railway Associa-
tion, So cities in the United States have
increased trolley fares from to 6 cents
per trip, Wilmington among the number.
Altogether, about 100000 out Of a
population of 100000 interested in
trolley service are now paying the 6-cent
fare.
Ten-cent fares are charges ID three
cities, an Scent fare in one, and 7-cent
fares in 43, Boston being in the latter
class
The steady trend throughout the
country, during the last few years, has
been in the direction of higher charges
for al kinds of service rendered the public,
due to great increase in the wages of labor
and the cost of materials. The two ele-
ments combine 10 produce this result
The greatest increases, however, the
most irritating TO the people, because
of their manifest injustice, are in the
charges for foodstuffs. Wilmington Is
one Of the worst sufferers in this respect,
and the situation is one that should impel
our people to vigorous resistance.

LIQUOR 10 Delivered at Back Door,

A question that Solomon in all his

liquor at the Venice back door Of a
house whose front door is in Santa
Monica q delivery Of liquor in the
latter city, Is the problem that stumps
the chief.
The houses that face on the south
side of Marine street are bisected by
the line that marks the city limits of
Santa Monica and Venice. Recently
dealers have been delivering certain
cases and packages at back doors OF
these houses that if delivered at the
front doors In bone dry" Santa Mon
lea would subject the delivery men to
arrest.
"ThiS matter stumps me-" said the
chief. eve cannot arrest them for
delivering the liquor in Venice and
It is hardly a violation Of the 0rdi-
nances against delivering liquor to
homes in Santa Monica to move 1t

other"

THE RAILROAD ADMINISTRATIONS.

Director General McAdoo has issued
circular to all employees of the rail
way lines operated by the Govern
ment in which he enjoins upon them
in emphatic terms the policy of cour-
tesy and efficiency. He announces
that the policy of the Railroad Admin
istration is exactly the reverse OF the
policv known as "the public be damn
ed" policy.
He states that the fact that the
United States is running the railroads
is not an excuse or justification for
lie shor .comings of either the en-
ploy eos or the Railroad Administra-
ton. "The people have accepted
cheerfuiiy and periodically the bur
den Of inCl cas ed railroad fares that
wa, conditions have imposed upon
them. part of which is due to the in
creased aypcn6itures caused by the
raise in Tie wages of the railroad
EMPLOYEES" says the Director Gen
eral land the least that the railroad
employees can do in return is to
serve the public faithfully, courteous
", and efficiently"
Railroads are just as much public
servants under Government admins
tration as under private control. The
change of management was made for
the purpose Of making the railroa
more efficient servants of the people
more especially in the great work of
winning the war. The relation OF the
railroads and the railroad employees
to the public therefore, is unchanged
except that patriotism to their coun-
try as we'll as loyalty to their en-
rloyer should actuate the railroad
employee.

Old Bill Shakespeare was right.
There's nothing in name. All of
which is a prelude to the announce
ment that while man may be a
Slack, it doesn't follow that he's a
Stacker. And as evidence of this is
the fact that a recommendation list
which recently arrived at headquar-
tiers of the United States Marine
Corps, bears the name of Preston Loe
Slack, a private in the Marine Corps,
calling attention to- his bravery under

Slack is commended for being mo
