THE PRINCIPLE REMAINS

Vice President Marshall is quoted saying that "every
principle known to economic has jostled out
of position by the war" Which is not true. Not one
principle has been jostled out of position Principles
do not change. Mems applications principles change
Men change their opinions as the the operation of prin
cipes But all laws of nature, either physical or meta
physical, eternal.
The law which impels water it's level is no more
definite and permanent than the which tends to place
all wages and conditions of living the plane where
no barriers maintained support an unequal level
Vice President Marshall he free trader before
the war Nothing has happened during the war to rem
der protective tariff policy either necessary or
less necessary permanent American policy All that
has done in that regard has demonstrate be-
yond further argument the soundnes of the protective
principle. Marshall may have changed but the principle
has not.
In 1913 the Democratic party enacted tariff law to
meet the views of Marshall and his party AS result
OF that law, which lowered the tariff WALL imports to
America increased curtaing American production Our
exports decreased with power produce until in
April 1914, the monthly balance trade was against
the United States Hundreds of thousands of men and
women thrown of employment by the closing
of American mills and the shutting down of other indus
tries indirectly affected balance of trade continued
against the United States until the outbreak of the war
which served as an import wall higher and stronger
any tariff law that enacted.
But principle has been jostled position" The
principle remained the samethat with barriers removed
wages and conditions of living will seek level just as
water does when the dam is broken With an effective
barrier wages be held to higher one coun-
try than in another, just may hold the water
higher in one pond than in another The war not only
cut off imports but afforded a new market for our
products with the result that America nowhas an aggre
gate balance of trade in her exceeding ten billion
dollars
Conditions resulting from the war make it impossible
for Europe and Asia to resume at the shipment of
goods to this country, but just surely as the law of
gravity force time will come when nations
which lower standards of living prevail will send goods
at prices lower than can afford to sell our own
products unless the tariff other artificial wall
shall be erected The only question remaining to be de-
ermned is when and in what the protective wall
hall be restored The American people are not likely to
lelegate the wall-buildng men who for more
han half century could see the need of barrier
against inflow Of cheap products from other lands

A SPLENDID GIFT TO DELAWARE SCHOOLS
(From the Every Evening"

As welcome it unexpected was the announce
men made at the session of the School at Della
College Thursday morning by Dr. Ode director of
the Service Citizens of Delaware that Mr. Pierre S.
dupont, president of the dupont Powder Company had
set aside trust fund of S200000 to be employed during
the next four years work of reconsructing and
undermining the public schools of Delaware, outside the
city of Wilmington. OF this generous sum, 100000 will
be applied to the Improvement of the schools coored
children The only contingent is that each school district
shall raise an amount equal to that appropriated to it
from the fund.
Here is splendid remedy for evil that has long
continued in Delaware. While there are some new and
well equipped public schools, it is fact that of
the buildings are odfashoned untitled for effective school
purposes unsanitary, and in many instances generally
dsrepuabe One has but to read the official reports of
the county School Commissioners of their visits of
specOn of the schools realize the serious
shortcomings. Especially does the situation apply to
the schools for colored children some of which are in
a disgraceful condition
We take it that districts will refuse through pen
urousness in the matter of imposing taxation to make
avail of this splendid gift the educational of
the State Left to the ordinary processes the work of
school building improvement would have Jagged for years
with only occasional evidence of a public spirit that
would bear additional taxation the good of the
schools Now way is provided whereby every public
school building in the State will within four years. be
modernized and placed in the most efficient shape
thorough fulfllment of its purposes
That the sincere thanks Of all our people will be ex-
tended to Mr. dupont for his prncely gift is assured
Thanks to his interest in the of public education
our State has derived benefit already gifts of
million and half to Delaware College have impaired
to that institution character standing never en-
oyed before, and have enabled its managers to equip it
in manner that WILL in the of time, when plans
now under way consummated enable it to rank with
he best of the colleges of country And he
extended helping hand to State public schools in
he most generous Withal been so modest
respect of the of his giving that is we'll
Known he would greatly prefer that public be
made of his benefcences. ,
It is fine thing for State especially one situated as
Delaware with certain demands-especialy educational
emands-that of its financial capacity to
meet them adequately have citizen like Mr. dupont
step into the breach and generously do all that is
ssential to be done. All honor to him.

TIE PARTY POSITIONS

There is a radical difference in the handling of the
League the respective charmen
Of the national committees of the great political
parties. Chairman Cummings of the Democratic Com
mee is touring the country and using the covenant
party issue He announces that the Democratic party
is for the league it has been written without change
Of any kind character He is demanding Democratic
support for it, its merits, it the
sanction OF Mr.. Wilson, the head of the party The ques
tions that have been raised Of its provisons
he ignores He rests his the statement that the
formation of League of Nations is a Democratic pro-
and charges that opposition to it is entirely of
partisan nature.
Chairman Hays of the Republican Committee, declares
that the has nothing do with politics, that
is American issue. He insists that it be examined
with single to what will be its effect upon the
United States, whether it fails provide national
guarantees whether sacrifices things are essential
to American life He refuses to the point that
because President Wilson had much do with plan
ming that account it must be accepted without rigid
scrutiny and without reservations if are needed
He realizes the of Mr.. Roots that are
certain reservations required clarity and strengthen
Americas position without affecting in any way other
sections of the covenant
The Cummings position is that the American people,
should adopt the treaty Versailles without reading it,
the Hays position is that the treaty should studied in
hospabe and constructive spirit. The two charmen
differ to he nalblity of Mr. Wilson, and whether
any document approved by him Paris sacred that
his approval absoves branch of the Gov
ernmen from its constitutional duty share in the making
of treaties And the views of the charmen represents
fairly the difference between their respective parties on
the question The Republicans demand thorough con-
sdraOn of the Paris treaty from the angle of America
