That Wilmington is not quite dry in

is being sold in Wilmington" said Mr..
Haley, who claims to have received his
information by letter from women who
complained that their husbands and
sons were coming home intoxicated.
In one Of these letters, it is said, hint
is given that liqour is obtainable from
a west Sixth street saloon. Mr. Haley
declined to say just what action he
proposes taking.
Quite different, however, is the ex-
PLANTATION given for the presence Of
drunks by Edward Krause, head Of the
Wilmington Liquor Dealers Associa-
tion. That there should be drunks in
the city was no surprise TO him, he
said, as il is a matter Of common
knowledge that beer Is being sold in
Chester in many saloons. In Baltimore,
too. beer is being sold, while New
York is openly selling two and three
quarter beer. With the neighbOring
cities selling beer and in some cases
liquor, there is little wonder that VIII
mingtonians are securing the much
desired product, he said 1t is said that
people from Wilmington go to Chester
on the trolley, and not only get what
they want there, but bring plenty
home. As to Wilmington, Mr.. Krause

Senator McNary, Of Oregon, who
strongly favors the league Of peace idea
and accepts the covenant as turthering
it, furnishes the public with his under
standing OF Article \.
The senator denies that the article
lays an absolute obligation on this
country 10 go to war. So he deduces
that there is no impairment Of the
prerogative Of Congress.
But after establishing that the article
does not and can not collide with our
Constitution, Senator McNary admits
that II lays a moral obligation on this
country to enter a conflict when others
think il should. This, it would seem,
is a practical surrender concerning the
matter in dispute.
The first part OF the Senator's argu-
ment knocks down a man Of straw, for
there is no considerable body Of opin-
ion that holds this country can be man
damused into going 10 war. Mr.. Root
does no so contend, nor Senator Lodge
nor Senator Knox. So when the Ore
gon Senator parades an irrelevancy few
will be disposed TO contradict him.
Those who criticise Article \ do not
say it creates an absolute obligation,
but merely that 10 permits others 10
create an atmosphere Of constraint
that Is TO say that the obligation is
morally binding This Senator McNary
comedies So doing, he justifles those
who demand, il such an obligation is
10 be assumed that it be defined
that IL be clearly stated that neither
legally nor morally does this country
give up its liberty Of action
An international agreement from its
nature, is never legally binding. Its
sanction is IN honor. This country may
legally refuse TO meet the obligations OF
the Panama protective treaty, to which
Mr.. Taft so often refers. Alliances.
from their very nature, must be moral
rather than legal. No coercive power is
created by the covenant, which pre-
vents no nation from breaking pledges.
But faith keeping, although not leg
ally enforceable, is the practice Of hon
orahle nations Moral bonds have knit
together great coalitions such unions
as the one which waged the recent war.
Nations, like men, recognize that be
hind the law and It's letter Is the moral

ments.

us 20 do? Senator McNary, though
acknowledging we are obligated TO
something. does not say Is It because
he does not know? This is highly
probable. for otherwise he would de-
fine the obligation. He does not know
for the same reason other men DO not
know-because the language is am
bigUous II il is not clear what duties
this country is TO assume, common
sense surely demands a removal of the
doubt.
The covenant, as all note who study
its text. Is a document Of loose drafts
manship and wavering meanings. one
section seems TO mean one thing, and
another section something else, and a
third brings in further confusion.
Take not only Article X, but Article
XIV. Article XIV, with respect to con-
troversies not submitted to arbitration,
says that when a dispute is between
league members the parties shall not
participate in making the councils de-
cision. II on one side were four and
on the other side four. the remaining
one would make the decision.
Again, what Is the effect Of decision
arrived at? That "the members Of the
league will not go to war with any
party TO the dispute which complies
with the recommendation OF the re-
port" Thus there is no agreement to
go to war TO defend the finding
merely a pledge not TO go to war
against the nation or nations accepting
it II the two parties were unequal in
power the league as a league would
stand to one side while the stronger
ate up the weaker. without respect TO
the rights or wrongs Of the matter or
which side accepted the councils re-
port.
The Tribune fears that 70 often
wearies its readers as 10 attempts to
find a path through the tangled under
brush Of the covenant At best the
subject matter is complicated, and
when TO inevitable impediments there
is added a vertiable morass OF am
biguity, with sections that cross and
nullify or modify others, the going is,
OF course, dinlcult. But there seems
no possible short cut IL the public is
not TO be misled. Never was there
such a document. 10 may not, II safe
guards are provided, entangle the na-
tion in all wars, but it surely painfully
entangles ones Intelligence.

DELAWARE FARMERS AND THEIR Loss.
