On the ISSUE Of
fmericanism There Can
Be No Compromise

up i'm the mimic world, and these old con-
fines of time and place are obliterated.
II is ecstasy that is the charm Of love.
Love is not a mere liking. 1t is not a
pleasance. 1t is not the torment Of desire
nor its qualification. IL is a Transforming
power, a power to touch the soul with its
wizardry and change its very nature, as
wood is changed by flame, as silence is
changed to beauty by the song of bird.
All that is desirable in religion is ecstasy.
It's moralities are cold, its restrictions are
unpleasant, its creeds are battling, but if it
contains some point that glows and makes
life glow it draws US irresistibly.
The spirit of man is candle Of the Lord.
If the candle will but burn it is willingly
consumed. No religion has ever advanced
that did not have its secret of ecstasy. The
Catholic finds it in the sacred mysteries of
his church, the Methodist at the mourners
bench, the Buddhist in his contemplation,
the fanatic in his zeal.
Alcohol owes its long dominion over the
human race TO the fact that it can produce
sort of ecstasy.
Every soul has its chosen ecstasy, its
own door Of escape. And you can get the
measure of any souls quality and stature
by the sort of ecstasy it selects.
For some ecstasies are divine and some

HOLD ROADS TWO YEARS
LABOR ASKS WILSON
Farmers Join in Petition for Fair
Test of Government
Control.

Washington, Dec. 1S-While the SEN
ate yesterday was speeding up consider
alton of the CummIns bill for the return
OF the railroads to their owners within
thirty days after the measure becomes
law, a delegation representing the
American Federation of Labor, the four
railroad brotherhoods, and some farm
organizations called at the White House
and presented 10 Secretary 1umulty a
communication for President Wilson in
which it was requested that action on
return Of the roads be deferred for at
least two years more
This appeal was made after Samuel
Gompcrs, President of the American
Federation Of Labor. and officials OF the
other groups represented on the delega-
tion, had called upon Senator CsImmins
and urged hun to withdraw his his bill
This he declined to do.
Secretary Tumulty received the com
munication from tho delegation and
listened to q series Of short addresses
He assured the spo<esmen of the dele
cation that the message would be pre-
scnted to the President and that Mr..
Wilson would read every line Of it.
Il know. he added, that the Presi-
dent mind is open on the whole thing
and that he will be glad to have your
views.
Later it was made plain by Mr. Tu-
multy that tho White House would have
nothing definite to say about the course
to be followed until a formal state
ment was issued by the President
The members Of the delegation who
visited the White House seemed con-
fdcnt that the return OF the roads would
be delayed until after January / but as
result Of the trend Of events there was
considerable doubt that the two-year
program would be accepted by Mr. viii
son. Observers in Washington, who
however have no direct information
from the White House, arc predicting
that the return will be made between

DANIEL BURTON IN SD YEAR.
Never Smoked Nor Used Liquor and
Always Voted Republican Ticket.

Daniel Burton quietly entered his SD
year yesterday hale and hearty, even
going about without an overcoat IN this
near-rero weather. Mr.. Burton has lived
in Wilmington since his retirement as
assitant internal revenue collector several
years ago and seemingly grows younger
year by year He is known IN all parts
of the state, especially in Sussex county
where he lived during his active life and
where he goes early preceding every cleo
ton to cast ballot for who ever may be
running for Office on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Burton never used either tobacco
or LIQUOR: his friends attribute his long
useful life to the fact that he wears old
time top boots in winter, has worn an
overcoat only when the mercury was
below zero and has never split his ticket,
and probably never will though he should
continue to vote till the end of time.
Mr.. Burton's home was in Miilsboro,
and all of his later day songs have been
