wilmington. Del. March 17.-
Representatives. OF the National AS
sociation Opposed to Equal Suffrage
virtually have abandoned hope, Of
preventing ratification, Of the ma
tionai suffrage amendment In this
State. That Is grudgingiy conced-
ed. They fear the tremendous in
fiuence of VIII H. Hays. chairman
OF the Republican National Com
mittee.
The antis have counted noses In
the house and senate. On paper
they easily can demonstrate the de-
feat of the amendment. But they
are thoroughly lacking In comb
dence.
The antis know that both big po-
litical parties look to Delaware to
ratify the amendment and that the
cards are stacked against them.
They realize that the fight here Is
purely political. that Is. IL is Rot a
suffrage and anti-suffrage battle as
such. 1t is a contest between the
Republican and Democratic par
ties for the prestige OF putting
over the thirty-sixth State in the
Union, with none of the leaders of
either party willing to be respon-
sible for its defeat.
The National women's party has
ceased Its propaganda work. It. is
not at all interested in meetings and
demonstrations. Its officers are de-
voting all of their time to the busi-
ness of keeping the leaders of the
Republican party in line. These
women are not soliciting votes from
the members of the Delaware house
and senate. They are keeping the
issue clearly before Mr.. Hays and

Gov. Townsend is confident the

AID BOARD ROW

VIII Ask Judiciary Powers
In Vocational Educa-

The House Rules Committee will
meet today to act on the request of
Chairman Fess. of the Education
Committee. for judiciary powers in
the investigation of the Federal
Board of Vocational Education
Unanimous consent to grant the
committee these powers was block

Mondell over the subject of the
relevancy of questions regarding
the nationality of the principal wit
ness against the board.
AS soon as it receives the power,
the Education Committee will sub
poena a number of witnesses cited
by Harold A. Littledale, who con-
Quoted an investigation of the
boards alleged misconduct for the
New York Evening Post.
Littledale, at a hearing Saturday
night. made twenty-six specific
charges against the board and
against James A. Munroe, vice chair
man.
A hard d-boiled order" charging
case board representatives to be
hard-boiled in dealing with cases
of disabled men, has resulted in a
sentiment in Congress for a thor
ough probe of the board.
Littledale also charged Munroe
with filling executive positions with
his friends, many of whom have
not taken the Civil Service exam
ination, and one of whom took the
examination and failed.
These conditions, he alleged,
have been the main reason why 1t
has taken ten months in a vast
number of instances for the board
to act on the cases of disabled men.

rheumatism Is caused by poison
GUS toxin. called uri6hcid which is
generated in the bowels and alb
sorbed into the blood. 1t Is the
function OF the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast 1t
out In the urine. The pores of the
skin are also a means of freeing the
blood of this impurity. In damp
and chilly. cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work. they
become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually set

called rheumatism.

us more than ever spectacle of hy-
pocrisy Inc the eyes of new and
struggling republics who look to us
for material aid, 1t is true, but far
more for moral support and a prac-
tical ideal of democratic freedom"
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, who
also spoke, said:
N am not going to say anything
more about the treaty. I have al
ready used my utmost powers In the
Senate pleading for that. I want to
say that Bryan is the biggest man

PROPOSED CHANGES

A majority of Senators have de-
clared for the treaty with reserva-
tions. In the face of this decision
those who would still block the
progress of the world to peace are
showing the smallest statesmanship
conceivable.
VIII Propose Amendment.
convention intend to propose and
fight for an amendment to the Con-
stitution. to be part of the Demo-
cratic platform, that shall permit a
majority of the Senate to ratify
treaty of peace. so that we may
never again be in the humiliating
position of being able to get into
war, but not to get out again, to
conquer a peace and not secure it.
The evil of secret treaties as the
worst breeders of war are now well
enough known to all. They must
be forbidden in the future. This is
a principle that does not even ad-
NIT of discussion.
'I am not a candidate for ilomi-
nation as President, do not expect
to be a candidate, and would accept
nomination most unwillingly. I
have been put in a false position be-
cause / have refused to- say that L
would never under any circum-
stances be a candidate. That, no
man has a right to say. But I do
not expect such circumstances to
arise.
Does Not Want Nomination.
81 do not want the nomination,
but 1 expect to have something
very Definite to say about tire one
who Is nominated. And let me say
that 1 hope the Democratic party
will not make the mistake of send
ing uninstructed delegates to the
convention. Such a mistake is the
result of a confused political sit
uation. but it always results in the
convention being ridden by party
bosses.
Not being a candidate 1 have
been unwilling to let my name be
used In connection with numerous
Bryan clubs throughout the coun-
try. but 1 have consented because I
feel that in the past thirty years
come to mean something in this
country. something that hope to
see triumph at the next election.
1 am more Interested In principles
than in candidates.
Il will fight to the last to secure
a prohibition enforcement plank in
the Democratic platform. The atti-
tude the Democratic party should
assume on this matter is not bpen
to question. The fact that Edwards
has retired from the contest for the
Presidential nomination shows that
the liquor interests saw the hope
lessness Of the situation and notified
him to withdraw. II for no other
reason we must have a prohibition
plank because the Republicans will
certainly have one,t and IL they
adopt 1t ahead of us, 1t means that
we will get all of their undesirables,
If we adopt it first theireverse will
be true.

WHY should the Republican leaders
pretend to be shocked by Governor
Cox's charge that they are raising an
enormous campaign fund to buy the
Presidency? They were not shocked
when Senator Newberry was convict
ed and sentenced to ten years in the
~penitentiary on the charge of spend
ing a fortune in the campaign; they
neither asked him to resign from nor
threw him out of the. Senate. They
YER not shocked at the millions
spent in the primary campaigns of
General Wood and Governor Lowden,
but this latter was a moral and not a
legal offense. Only when the offense
charged might come within the
province of the criminal courts do
they eem to display a pretense of
resentment. What has become of the
claim that the G. o. P. is "the party
of great moral ideas?"

Obituary.

The angel OF death, with its cold,
icy hand, has been abroad In the land
and claimed for its victim our little
daughter, Virginia Fern Dunn. She
was born at Sabula, Mo, July 81, 1915,
and departed this life September 6,
1920, making her FIVE years one month
and ten days old. She was taken with
diphtheria and in two days was called
home, where sickness and pain never
come. Everything was done for her
that loving hands could do for her,
but God, In His wisdom, had called,
and the summons must be answered.
She leaves a father, mother, three
brothers and n sister, and a host of
other relatives and friends to mourn
her loss; but our loss is her gain. Oh,
it Is SO hard to see the pale, cold form
reposing in the casket and to see the
lid closing down over our loved one,
shutting out the loved face forever!
But sadder still is the open grave, so
dark and cold, and the clods falling on
the coffin, covering up the one 80 dear
to our hearts. Every sound of the
earth falling on the casket rends our
heart with the sharpened arrow of
pain; every sound seems to tear our
hearts asundcr,
But we mourn the death of this dear
one not as those who have no hope,
for we know that little Fern is safe in
the arms of Jesus. Our grief is not so
great when we think she has gone
home to wear her crown of glory,
and though she can never return to
us we a go to her. She was q little
member of the Hopewell Sunday
School on Marble Greek, and 1t was
her delight to get ready Of a Sunday
morning to go.
Every one who knew her spoke of
what a sweet dispositioned child she
was, and everybody loved her. We
thought we loved her best but God
loved her best and sent a death angel
down to take her home and live with
Him on high.
Though she's missed as little sister, !
In the place she filed SO well,
Yet we know that she is happy
In the land where angels dwell.
Sadly do we miss her footsteps,
Tripping lightly DER the floor,
And her merry, ringing laughter,
Silent now forever more.
Mourn her not, Oh, weeping parents,
Though you miss her tender love,
Think of her a spotless angel,
There to welcome you above.
Sadly missed by father, mother, sis.
ter and brother.
