this a popularity of our people Is il
an Americanism. We discuss all ques-
tions and settle down definitely on
none. We fly around like a weather
cock. One day it is the Peace Confer
ence and the next the League OF Ma
tions. and again the high cost of liv-
ing, etc. The people of Delaware now
have another important subject before
them. All national questions are for
the present forgotten; even the vexed
Shantung affair is relegated to the dis
card and President Wilson is left to
perform his peaceful swing around
the circle, while we of Delaware are
airing the new School Code. There is
certainly a high time over this new
law and how in the world it ever got
through the legislature, with the OBJ
iections there are now manifested
against it, is hard to conceive. Per-
haps it was politics, as is alleged by
some that forced it through the legis-
lature; and now seeing the mistake
that has been made. the same power
that committed the first folly is join
ing hands with those who are really
hurt by the law in soliciting the gov
ernor to call a special session Of the
legislature to repeal the new School
Code. The Supreme Court is also to
pass upon the cOnstitutiGnality of this
law, and if said court uphOlds the
law, then the governor may act. What
ever may be the merits or demerits
of the School Code, whether it be
constitutional or unconstitutional,
there is one thing certain: it will cost
a great deal OF money to carry out the
law and the benefits to be derived
thereby are yet in embryo. Seei Also
read on 1t costs a great deal of
money for a sixty days session of the
Delaware legislature to pass some
thing it knows not what And it will
cost more money for a thirty days
session to repeal this something"
that it has passed. Our legislature
should consist of men with some
acumen. But Jones pays the freight"
and "let the CALLED jade wince!"
