When Furnishing the New Home

It pays to be fastidious. Buy the very best your purse can afford, and don't be satisfied with articles which seem to be cheap but which will prove expensive in the long run. Expensive furniture is not aI- ways the high priced furniture. Often it is the piece with which you are not quite content, but which you buy because you think you can afford nothing better.
 Put the same effort into selecting your furniture that you do into the selection of your clothing. You ex- pect to pay for a garment which suits you perfectly in price and cut. Clothes last only a year or two. Furniture should last a life time. Why not have what you will always like.
 The furniture we can show you will satisfy you not only in regard to style and workmanship, but by it's remarkably reasonable price.

Workhouse ARA snment.

The report of the grand jury of New
Castle county, prepared IN consequence of
its investigation into the manner OF the
escape from the New Castle County
Wnrkhousc of LenueI Price Negro con,
victod Of the murder Of Policeman Thomas
L. Zebley, only little more than week
in advance of the day set for his execu-
ton, Friday, January 9, forms a distinct
arraignment of the workhouse manage
mont The scope of the arraignment IS
complete, including the trustees. the war
den, the subordinatcs and guards, and the
findings seem to be entirely justified by the
evidence.
The tone of the grand Iury's report "a
cminently fair and free from any ten
dency to scnsatlonslism. Ii sets forth
in plain terms the conditions that were
found to prevail at the workhouse and
the changes that members Of the jury
deemed essential III some respects, and
at least advisable in others, IN order to
make the institution cntirclv safe for the
detention Of prisoners, and IS adminstra-
tion at that is required IN order to carry
out to the csscntia extent the punishment
provided by law Tor evll-docrs.
What will directly come from tins
acton by the grand Jury is not yet known,
but the trend Of the report is that the
present management has been inefficient,
partly from NEGLECT Of proFcr precautions,
partly from mistaken conceptions Of
regulation and discipline, and partly
from motives If economy. be latter
conclusion is pstif "a by discovery Ci the
fact that some If the guards IN charge q

PRESS COMMENT.
AMERICA ABSENT.

The Allied and Associated Powers hav-
ing exchanged rati6cations of the Treaty
OF Versailles with Germany, peace WAS
formally proclaimed Saturday afternoon
with the United States, the nation whose
men, money and other resources made
victorious peace possible, absent.
In accordance with the terms of h
covenant, the first meeting OF the Lealu:
of Nations will be held In Paris next
Friday-with the United States, the
nation which more than any other brought
this world court into being In the interest
OF a guaranteed peace, absent.
No wonder, then, that an event IN
history OF superlative Importance, toward
which the eyes of all peoples have been
hopefully turned for many years OF suffer
ing end sorrow. should pass without public
reJoicings and with evidences instead oil
doubt and foreboding. A hasty retirement
by America from the battle lines at the
supreme crisis of the struggle between
democracy and autocracy would have
been hardly more disconcerting than
its abeenteeIsm on tins occasion.
We reject the peace that we won. We
shirk responsibility for it. We refuse to
sustain the nations liberated 10y our axrns.
We assume no obligation TO restrain the
nations whose violence. IL even now

selves with Russia, the ishmnel of nations,

Western Europe is at peace We who made
that peace possible are still at war.
A situation TO he dcporcd in any case
becomes intolcrable when we recall the
fact that the American people have not
brought it about. The perhdy is not theirs
nor yet that of the United States Senate

PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT.

1t is certain that our Allies. since the
winning Of the victory think Of them
selves much more taan they think Of
Us. and to be surprised at this, would be
Ingeuuousncss on our part. Let Us not
lose our good hurnor on account Of this.
Let us consider it, rather, u self
evident fact that France should count
principally upon herself 70 resolve the
economic difficulties which are preventing
or retarding Ler return to former con-
dltions
But France is made up Of the whole
French people, and, with the best good
wishes the greater part Of the French
people do not know the correct thing TO
do for the accomplishment Of TINS com
mon task Beautiful speeches trace, a
little vaguely, genera! lines pointing to u
splendid future What Is lacking Is a
definite rogram for the use Of the IN
divldual. They tel Us nothing They
foresee for Us various yc1atlous clrcum-
stances, as the scarcity OF coal the cutting
of schedules for passenger trains the CON
tInuaI rise ID the rate of exchange, etc.
They lead Us to hope that these grave
problems are being examined ia hIgn
places. On the other hand, We know that
these grave problems depend upon the
general situation, and we know that the
general situation depends in some measure
upon ourselves.
Several years ago the Notwithstanding
are very good people promulgated
philosophy Of action. Teachers Of the
gospel Of energy ran wild among US, 50 to
speak. crying We must act They forgot
to tell US definitely what ii was, IN their
opinion, that We should do So, In the
uncertainty, We did nothing. Here arc
the politicians Of today resembling the
moraiists Of yesterday They should
guide US. We need direction We only
ask to serve. The good will of the nation
its excellent good will-remains un-
directed, and it Is pity Perhaps even
the politicians have not yet their own
opinion very well formed. Let them

duties that followed in the train OF that
episode, failed to weaken the Republican
administration. At least it had won the
war.
And so it will be now, rs it has been IN
the past. The Democratic national ad-
ministration engaged in foreign war, from
which our country emerged with greatly
enlarged prestige and a record OF Won
derful accomplishment, unmarked by
extravaganza or corruption. And the
people will sustain it against the assaults
of jealous and vindictive partisan op-
ponents. They have stood by the admins
tration in such matters in the past. even
when the record was unenviable instead OF
assuring. They cannot be expected to do
otherwise at this time, when the war record
is such as to reflect the highest credit and
the most resplendent glory upon the en-
tire country.

A MANS JOB.

MAN . JOD-
It's a mans job to be cheerful
In tho face Of grief and care;
Any weakling can be fearful
And victim of despair,
But it takes q man to swallow
All the bitter IN the cup,
And to live for what may follow,
Without ever giving up.
It's a mans job to he kindly,
It's mans job to be true;
None can shut his eyes and blindiy
Try to journey this life through
And not see the wrongs about hira
Or the hazards in his way;
There are times when fate will hout h1rn
And bis feet will go astsay.
Not in fools and craven creatures
Are the worthy virtues found,
Not on blank and lifeless features
Do the cheerful srnies abound,
He who to his best Us living
And for truth and honor stands,
And is cheerful in his giving,
Has a man job on his hnnch.
To be bnd and thoughtful evvr,
To be strong in times of need
To put all your best endeayor
In IN effort To succeed,
And to fail and keep on trying,
And not lose your cheerful Ways,
Is a job, there's no DENYING,
For = real man, nowadays.
