FALLING AMONG REAL RADICALS.

A sad but inevitable mishap has be-
fallen some of the New York Forty
Fighters. As gentle dabbers in radl-
calism they went to Chicago to patron
ize the rude nationalizers andsovietlzers
of the West, but have met with unklnd
treatment at the hands Of the latter.
They have had to hear themselves sneered
at as ''plutocratio philanthropls Is, or
arraigned as slick lawyers" who were
trying to hoodwink the honest tollers.
Such however, is the sure fate of diet
tani when they are brought into actual
and rough contact with professionals
The uproarious radicals from Kansas
and California and Wisconsin cannot
put up with the gentlemaniy pussy
footers from New York. afraid of going
too far in attacks upon property. The
impatient Western cry is What IS
property for except to be confiscated?"
If the Eastern ''plutes" wish to amalga-
mate with the wild men OF the West
there vii! be no difficulty about it, pro-
vided that the wild men do the swallow
ing Then it is to be hoped, as the village
poetess hoped of a big meal, that all will
"amalgamate" below New York Times

The return of George w. Stone TO Will
mington for visit to his son recalls that
in the days before Wilmington had made
much headway toward the reallzatlons
of the claim that some day she would be-
come an important city, he was active In
the work that had any bearing on the
welfare of the community. 1t must be
pleasing for him to see in new Wilmington
the fulfllment of his predictions, and
more than that, for optimist as ne always
was, he probably did not expect she would
have beaten all cities of her class In gains
In population and industrial Importance
in the years that have elapsed since he
set up his home in the glorious climate of
California. Mr.. Stone possibly may find
satisfaction on returning to find Viii
mington awakening gradually from the las
situde against which he so heroically bat
tied in conjunction with several other
progressive spirits. He too will find the
city greatly grown, since he left here to
live elsewhere, and probably he will re-
gard the people as being less provincial
than in those early days.

THE POLITEST CAMPAIGN.

This Republican campaign promises to
be the politest campaign on record. No
ones feelings are to be hurt if listening
candidate can help il. Neither the feelings
of militant suffragiSts nor Of recalcitrant
governors, nor of any one else who has a
special interest. Are YOU a believer IN
mild reservations? Your reservations are
not so mild as Mr. Harding. Are you an
irreconcilable? You viii find Mr.. Harding
agreeing with you perfectly that we cannot
he too careful about accepting obligations
overseas. Perhaps YOU think we ought to
send an army into Mexico. Mr.. Harding
will be able to understand your point of
view, whether or not he agrees with it;
but he knows that all such matters need
the most careful sort of consideration.
Perhaps you think our armies should be
kept at home. Well that is a viewpoint
which ought also to be most carefully
considered; but probably Mr.. Harding
will grant YOU that there may be some
thing TO be said for IT. To the front
porch in Marion this summer will stream
a hopeful host Of visitors. There will be
vets and drys, non-reSlstantS and deyotees
of military training, great navy men and
no-navy men, men and women who hold
dissimilar ideas about ships and budgets,
banks and bonds, tariff bills and taxes,
management Of railways and management
of men. TO the listening candidate these
visitors viii tell their stories. And they
will come away perhaps little vague, but
confident that more agreeable man to
argue with than Mr.. Harding rarely can
be found. ''IIe is the kind of candidate"
says Mr.. Myron Herrick, we want at
this period when the nerves of the world
are on edge 1t IS q time for peace and

BROTHERHOOD.

Under the toiler's grimy shirt,
Under the sweat and the grease and dirt,
Under the rough outside you view,
is man who thinks and feels rs you.
Go talk with him,
Go walk with him,
Sit down with him by a running stream,
Away from the things that are kissing
steam,
Away from his bench,
His hammer and wrench,
And the grind of need
And the sordid deed;
And this you'll find
As he bares his mind
In the things which count when this
life is through
He's as tender and big and as good as
you.
BE fair with him,
And share with him
An hour of time in a rcstful place,
Brother to brother and face to face,
And he'll whisper low
OF the long ago,
OF n loved enc dead
And the tears he shed;
And you'll come to sec
That in suffering he,
With you, is hurt by the self-same rod
And turns for help to the self-same God
You hope as he,
You dream of splendors, and so does
he,
His children must be as you'd have
yours be,
He shares your love
For the Flag above,
He laughs and sighs
For the self-same things;
When he's understood
He is mostly good,
Thoughtful of Others and kind and true,
Brave, devoted-and much like you.
Under the toier's grimy shirt,
Under the sweat and the grease and dirt,
Under the rough outside you view
Is a man who thinks and feels AS you.

An Experiment In Garden Sass.

AL! hail to the New Castle captain OF
industry, who has decided to cut out the
middlcman in disposing of the surplus
stock, Of his truck gardens. The recent
offer of the dealers for his surplus vege-
tables was so riiiculously low that he
offered them to all corners at bargain
prices. His garden produce was fresh
and of unusual excellence, but it was not
sufficiently Turing to the dealers TO in
duce them to offer him rational price.
1t is to be regretted that he had but
comparatively few vegetables in contrast
with the demand, and they are being
snapped up.
The only drawback to the success OF
the experiment was the fact that the an
nouncement set consumers in immediate
action and those with the swiftest motor
cars started first for their supplies
while the man who had TO walk may not
have arrived yet 1t may be interesting
next year if Mr.. Deemer carries out his
present intention of increasing his garden
acreage and disposing the vegetables at
cost, to witness the Peerlesses and Pierce
Arrows and Locomobiles in a race with
"flivvers" with the New Castle cabbage
patch as their goal. If the distribution
could be directed so that the man or
woman with $4,000 car would be
handicapped in the race the movement
would do a great good and teach the
profteers a, wholesome lesson.

Let us all hope that the cantaloupes of
Sussex and Kent are maturing rapidly
under the summer sun and the grateful
showers. If they are up to par the halcyon
days may be said to be at hand. Nomelon
grown on American soil can equal those
ripening beneath the Sussex skies. Their
lusciousness, fine texture and inirnitable
favor would have made them fit food for
the gods on the ancient days. The
Rocky Fords, or the Honey Dews, are
not to be put on the same table with the
cantaloupe that springs from Delaware
soil. And the watermelons. What OF the
melons that descended from the old
stock that Paynter Frame used to send
everywhere to seed with sweetness the
rest Of the world. If any have survived
those earlier days they will bring a new
JOY to the summer time, when proper

Hair Often Ruined
by Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sifed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in, it makes an abundance of rich creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and few ounces will supply every mem-
Der Of the family for months.

Suggestion for the Chamber of Commerce.

The rumor that the headquarters and
Offices of the Delaware Railroad are to be
removed to Dover, as stated in Every
Evening n day or two ago, is rather dis
ouieting to its employees. They are es-
tablished in homes here with their friends
around them and do not look with pleasant
anticipations on any such change.
The transfer also would be consider
able loss to the city and besides would de-
tract more or less from its Importance as
a railroad center.
While the public has no assurance that
the rumor is true, or has any foundation,
it would come within the province Of the
Chamber Of Commerce to confer with the
head of the railroad and ascertain If there
is anv unfavoring condition here that
might be removed. We hope, in the first
place. that the report is incorrect, and
again. if it is true, that the officials OF
the Delaware Railroad may be induced
to reconsider the matter and remain here.

Universal American Trust. Alfonso
granted his requests, wherenpon he
promptly died.
His two sons went over in 1900 and
reached the coast Of Labrador, "the part
Of the country" comment the Portu-
gicse archives, where previously people
came from the Northland, led by the
Captain John Scolvo." One Of the sons
died there, and the other, after returning
to Portugal, set out again and was never
heard from. II is this snufbng out Of The
family Of Cortereal which accounts for the
fact that Scolvo's discovery Of America
dropped from sight in the excitement Of
other and more widely heralded voyages.
II is not believed, Of course, that Colum-
bus knew anything Of the earlier trip
to the western continent so he may still
be regarded as a discoverer Of America,
although according TO Mr.. Bay and other
students, he is not the discoyerer.
THE URGE TO DISCOVER.
Little is known Of John ScoIvo except
that he was a brave scafaring man. His
name, Scolvo or Scoif, an ancient Nor
wegian one meaning imam that lives IN
the outer island,H is appropriate in
another sense as we'll He exists now only
on the outer border Of mans conscious
ness. lie has the shadowy, mythical
existence which the distant, undiscovered
lands he helped 70 find formerly had
In fact, for hundreds Of years he was
non-existent except IN the old, buried
archives which DR. Larsen has just brought
70 light again
Nevertheless he stands for one Of the
most romantic qualities Of the human
race, that urge which drives men on
through any hardship or danger, farther
INTO the Unknown u is Mr.. Bays
theory that mans discomfort with life
around him, his desire 70 find Happy
Island, or a virgin land where be can
begin all over again unhampered by his
own mistakes and his ancestors are the
real driving forces which urge men over
the earth's surface II this is 20, it may be
that America is not really discovered yet.
We have made the land ours, but not
until We have made IL the happy country
which SO far exists only IN mems hearts,
will the trueAmerica have been discovered

THE HORNS OF THE
GERMAN DILEMMA

The fact that there are two equally
sharp horns TO the German dilemma seems
To be overlooked. But Germany socially
and economically disinteqated is as
great danger to the Allies as a Germany
militant Indeed, it may even be con-
sidered graver menace, since the world
has found means to cope with the power
full aggressOr but not with the inter
national down-and-outer. An appreciation
of the parrowness Of the target which the
Allies must hit will remove some of the
hasty intolerance with which their indie
cision is now viewed. Lloyd George has
to fear the deep sea of social and economic
unrest IN Germany quite as much as the
devil of a resurrected aggressor. On the
other hand, Germany cannot be permitted
to play on the uncertainties of the Allies
for her own ends. The maximum of the
Allies demands should once for all be
clearly stated and Germany compelled to
accede TO them, but there should be room
for future easements as the evidence be-
comes more complete. 1t is here that the
machinery of the League is indispensable
for holding the Allies together through an
orderly investigation and in a uniform
presentation Of their final requirements
