PAUL PRY'S GLENDALE
LETTER.

It seems that progress and improve
fnent must be our watchwOrd in spite
of the drastic and burdensome laws
some of our wise citizens are prOpos-
ing to burden us with, which will sure
ly have a disastrous effect upon OuI
little town, for which we entertain a
cherished pride. Col. d. H. Reed will
not wait for idle dreams of an electric
lighting system for Glendale but has
completed his own plant that now IL
Eliminates his house. We now have
four of these costly and luxurious
electric lighting plants in town. II
our town authorities do not get move
on them so many will be installed
that our pretty homes will be illumin-
ated as to make street lighting un-
necessary.
Everyone is glad that DR.. Robert FL
egoOd, who has been lingering between
life and death for a week, is slowly
improving His parents have return
ed home after a weeks stay with him.
Miss Elsie Millman, eldest daughter
of Burton Millman, prosperous farm
er near town. is in a Wilmington hos
pital, having undergone an operation
for appendicitis. Miss Millman's con-
dition is very serious and but very
faint hopes are entertained for her
recovery.
Mrs. Alfred Clendaniel was called
TO the bedside of her daughter, Mrs.
Josephine Love, at Hog Island, where
her husband is engaged in business.
Rev. Barratt is quite improved and
was able to appear in his pulpit Sun
day.

large barn and stables at his home in
town.
Isaac Webb has purchased a new
automobile and George Pettyjohn is

The most expensive and modern out
building ever seen in this part of the
country is being rapidly completed by
Sam Warren for Col. Isaac Simpson
on the old George Clendaniel farm near
town.
We are extremely glad to report that
Miss Gertrude Dickerson, one of the
most charming young ladies who ever
lived in Glendale. is rapidly recovering
from a long and severe attack OF in |
huenza, at her home in Wilmington !
Robert Workman, Oldest son of Will |
liam Workman, is very i'll at this writ |
ing.
Joshua Millman has accepted a fine |
position with Senator Murphy of Har
rington and it now in charge of his
large timber interests at Viola, Del.
Many of our children and girls have
been frightened by a mysterious and
strange looking man who walks about
the town without speaking to anyone.
Where he comes from, goes or sleeps
Is mystery that cannot be solved.
The delightful and instructive en-
at the principals room
1t our school are being enjoyed very
much. There is usually a program of
music and debates that terminate in
! mathematical bee on Friday after
looms and these are becoming quite
popular affairs. 1t is attended by many
parents and friends who are highly
Interested in the development of the
scholars, which is highly creditable TO
be principal, Otis Jefferson.
Miss Dena Veasey, who has been an
lssisatnt operator at the Ellendale
lepot, and Edward Rust, telegraph op-
rator at Redden, were married Thurs

pose the convention ha dacted on the
suggestions of Col. Woodrow and Will

men had then produced the present
constitution then all posterity would
have forgotten George Washington and
Franklin and jefferson and the rest OF
that convention and would have pro-
claimed behold the great constitution
of the United States. 1t is the sum of
the wisdom Of the ages handed down
to humanity through the two super
men. Col. Woodrow and Wilson House.
and the names, even of Washington
and Franklin and Jefferson would by
this time have passed from the men,
ory of man.
Had the trainers of the constitution
anticipated such a state of affairs as
the Senate is now protesting against
they would have undoubtedly have pro-
vided for the substitution of the name
of Col. House as a coordinate worker
with the President in a treaty making
stunt instead of the mediocre senate.
But the old fathers. as stated before,
evidently had no conception of the pos
TO provide for their employment. But
should the human race be deprived of
their valuable service on account of
the failure of Washington and Jeffer-
son and their CO. workers to provide
for such an event.
The World overlooks that the!
particular Senators it names as espec-
tally Objectionable are among the ones
reelected at the last election as a pro-
test to the very form of activities by
the administration which now form
the basis Of Senatorial protest. The
majority of the Senators who arr, 81

situation in a less public manner. !

Mr.. BAKER AND HIS FRIENDS

Recently there were reasons for be-
| iieiyng that Mr.. Newton ID. Baker had
so thoroughly discredited himself before
the country that the time was rapidly
approaching when he might be ignored
completely. This assumption was err
ronerous. During the last few days Mr..
Baker has set a new record, Consider
his attitude in the oases of Captain
Hodgson and In that OF Archibald Stew
enson.
Under the head of Few American
Courts Martial Like This" the Army
and Navy Journal prints the following:
AT eourt-martIal convened at Camp
Las Casas, p. b. on Sept 16,-- 1918,
capt.Samuel r. Hodason5 NJ. e. Y. s, A.
was tried on charges that are most uh
usua, and with final outcome Of the
case that seems equally extraordinary.
One charge was that at camp headquar
ters mess on August 10tn,-- 1918,- ne
made statements in the presence of
witnesses regarding his friendship for
Germans and in admiration of the Ger
man people and favoring the cause of
Germany, with which the country was
at war Among the remarks he was
accused of having made were the fol-
lowing: "All my friends in Mexico are
Germans; ! admire the work Of the
German SPIES; ~ admire the patri
-otisn of the German people" AT the
Union Club, San Juan, p. r., on June I
it was charged Captain Hodgson when
a civilian said to him, Let us 90 TO
Mexico and kill some Huns" replied:
why not 60 to the States and kill some
Americans?" thereafter remarking
that he had found the Germans to be
the best citizens in Mexico and that he
had many friends among them.-- An
other charge was that on June1, in the
presence of a civilian he said he be-
lieVedthe German policy in Mexico to be
the right one, and on the same day said
the motion picture "The Kaiser-The
Beast of Berlin" was overdrawn, and
that the Kaiser is-- "a gentleman or
words to that effect. The court found
Captain Hodgson guilty of all charges
except that in which he was accused of
having said, "Why not go to the States
and kill some Americans?" and his re-
ie-e1ce to "The kaiser-The Beast of
Berlin" - He was sentenced to be dis
missed from the Army and confined at
1ard labor for two years. The Presi-
lent confirmed only so mucn OF the sen
.tence as provided for dismissal from
he Service, and this ne conmuted to a
'eprimand to be administered by the
general of Camp Las Ca
as.
The report states that the President
-cted on the case. II he did so, we
incerely believe that, immersed as mel
vas in grave international questions,
e merely signed the order in a perfun-
tory manner, acting upon such reco-
oendations as were sent to him by his (
secretary of War. 1t is absolutely inn
ossible to believe that the President ]
you'd have taken such action if he had ?
cen familiarwith the case, and if he {
ad done so can anyone think of a 7
lanly Secretary of War accepting t
is judgement?

THE MAN OF THE HOUR

II Mayor Hanson's deeds are as out
right and fearless as his words are
bold and true, there will soon be an
end to the intolerable and indefen-
sible Seattle strike, The challenge of
the strike leaders is to law, order and
government. The response of Mayor
Hanson is that he win assert the right
and duty OF city and state to function
IN essential ways, unless the strike is
called off today. The way to meet
q crisis is to meet it, and Mayor Han
son, backed by the power of the Ma
tion, purposes to act.
1t Is right that he should act. II is
wrong that the Mayor Of any city
should suffer all the operations of
community life and activity to be
paralyzed because a few men have
willed it.. The state which will not
defend and protect itself when its
peace and order are threatened and
attacked and the right of it's law
abiding inhabitants to pursue their
vocations is denied by the fiat of
revolutionary cabal, is not worth de-
Tending or protecting.
The nominal issue at Seattle is be-
tween certain worl1men and the Gov
ernment over a wage scale. The real
Issue is the right of society to operate
in lawful ways. The strikers deny it.
The authorities are bound to assert it. |
It is no time for provocative words +!
or deeds; but it is a time &c declare Il
public duty and to perform it
Mayor Hanson appears to be the
man of the hour.
It would appear that the distillers

Sergeant Garrett Zimmerman, only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. f. W. Zimmerman,
a soldier in France, was a faithful cor
respondent with his family until last
September when his communications
ceased. The family became distressed
on account of the long silence. After
some weeks a former soldier-comrade
writing to a friend here, gave the infor-
nation that Garrett had been wounded
in battle and he understood had since
died. In their great sorrow the family
has been earnestly endeavoring to
find the particulars. The only informa
ton thus far received is furnished by
the return OF five letters written to HIM
marked wounded" and the more re-
