1t would seem that the inclination
to take Advantage of. the embarrass-
ments forced upon the government by
war for personal gain, for fostering
some pet hobby, for profiting in some
measure directly or indirectly is a
weakness of mankind, and is not con-
fined to class of conditions. Big
Business sees big profits. The worker
sees an opportunity to increase his
wage. The man who produces sees a
chance to boost the market. The man
with an ak to grind sees a chance to
whet the edge. The prohibitionist
sees an opportunity to force his hobby
at the expense of holding up legisla-
ton. And so you go through the
whole list of beneficiaries If people
would only forget self-interest, forget
hobbies for the time being, and work
as a unit for the one great and i'm
portant objective, the successful
prosecution of the war, friction would
be eliminated, legislation expedited

The Springdale Reformer says
"The Oroville Gazette, for years the
leading republican paper of the great
Okanogan region, and edited by Frank
M. Dallam, founder of the Spokes-
man Review and veteran newspaper
man of eastern Washington, is anoth-
err paper to follow the lead of the Re
former of some weeks ago, and come
out for the elimination of partisan
politics in county and district AFFAIRS
this fall. Like the Reformer the Ga
zette places country above party, and
believes the first duty of all gooi
Americans at the present time is to
stand by the president" We did not
realize that any one had blazed the
trail we were following, and care
less. Our attitude as to eliminating
politics from these columns for the
duration of the war was taken months
ago and the last article on the sub
ject appearing in this paper was only
repetition of what had been said
before, possibly more extended and
emphatic. We admire the stand the
Reformer has taken making party
secondary to country. 1t is the only
position that any American can take
who holds the interests of his coun-
| try above the interests of party. Let
us aid to the extent of our modest

A treaty between the United States
and England has been ratified for the
reciprocal operation of the draft
laws. Now England or Canada can
step across the border and gather in
slackers who have scurried across
the line to escape service, while
Uncle Sam can reach over into Can
ada and take by the slack of the
trousers those misnamed Americans
who flew north to escape doing their
duty in the hour of need. And it is
law that is going to be rigidly enforc-
ed, as both governments are anxious
to get hold of that kind of shirkers.
The only escape for those so anxious
to shirk facing the Huns Is the cold,
moist, clammy arms of Neptune, or
some swfter exit from this vale of
tears.

means in winning the war and then
mix up in politics, offensive and de-
fensive. Only men who assay 100
per cent American are fit for public
office these times, no matter what may
have been their political leanings in
the past. We may have no great af-
lection for the present administration
but the present administration is con-
Quoting the war activities-possibly
as it sometimes looks as much for
the safety of democrats as democracy
and until the war is satisfactorily
settled, and the Hun put out of bust
ness, this paper stands by the admin
istration.

THE SMYRNA Times
SMYRNA. DELAWARE

Farmers who have been agitated
over the recent price fixing of toma-
toes by the Food Administration so
much so that both Delaware's United
State Senators championed the grow
ers cause and fought the price fixing
in Congress, are now free to grow
tomatoes and get what they can. AS
the Dover Index pertinently says
''It has been disclosed that the Food
Administration has no such power as
the order recently issued purports.
The fact seems to be that there is no
power vested in any officer or board
to fix maximum prices of food pro-
ducts in the hands of producers. In
other words, the pretended fixing of a
price of $21 per ton. or 35 cents per
basket, for tomatoes grown in Della
ware this year, was without authority
and we need pay no attention to it.
Delaware farmers will grow tomatoes
and take chances on the prices, but
they will not grow tomatoes for
price less than the cost of growing.
Of course, the prices of last year
were high and larger crop this year
may make prices lower than last year.
However, there is. we believe, no
likelihood that prices will be as low
as 35 cents per basket. Many grow.
ers will not make contracts this year,
but some will. Before making con-
tracts farmers should carefully con-
slider the matter and when a contract
is made it should be kept. The max
ing of contract and breaking it be-
cause prices happen to be higher than
the contract price is serious refec-
tion on the honesty of farmer.
Delaware farmers have to good a rep
utation to have it marred by few.
We believe the prices for both toma-
toes and canned goods will be high
enough this year to satisfy reasonable
growers and Gamers. Those who do
not want to take chances should con-
tract but should literally keep their
contracts. Others may or may not
receive more than the contract price
but they will take the chance and
there is nc reason to expect prices to
be lower than the contract prices. -
