They Will Become Enlightened.

Writing to fellow-worker IN the Equal
Suffrage cause about the situation at
Dover. Miss Betty Gram, an earnest
laborer in the cause said: The I@glsla-
ture actually knows nothing and manv
men are being inundated on the IN
constitutionahty plea.
This uncomplimentary intmation OF
ignorance on the part Of members OF our
LEGISLATURE. and possibly Of our people
generally. is in line with the prevailing
opinion among political missionaries from
other States who direct their efforts to
affairs in Delaware. They enter upon the
field with the belief that they are dealing
with an unsophisticated and uniformed
peoUIe. who know little OF nothing about
public questions or politics in general.
But how these quid nuns find them
selves mistaken after they are here for
awhile. How their eyes are opened and
their understanding cleared What they
soon learn is that there Is ''more politics
tn the square inch" in Delaware than IN
all the rest Of the country. That the peo-
ple Of Delaware, especially Of the section
below Wilmington, are past masters IN
the political game. That they eat politics,
sleep with politics, live for politics and IN
many Instances live on politics. That in
the matter of political intrigue and
manipulation they can give cards and
/ snades'' to the best of outside politicians
and beat them in the end.
No. we arc not ignorant and benighted
here in Delaware, especially in the matter
of politics. Our shortcomings are in
other respects. We have no doubt MANY
/ of the outsiders now 'aboring in Dover
/ for or against Equal Suffrage will have
their eyes widely opened before long, anc
possibly their wi sdom teeth cut.

Now our ambassador in Great brtaih
cannot possibly pay the rent on q stltapln

the weiJ-kpown fact that our Ambassador
tp Great Britain must always be rlcn
man. He must be chosen for hIa money
rather than for his brains. He may have
brains, too, but money ~ necessarily the
frat consideration. And the worst Of IT
is that a man without means who has
spent his life in the diplomatic service,
cannot possibly work up to these Inn
portnnt posts. They are bound 20 fall 70
milionaires, usually with no diplomatic
experience. Thus the net effect Of our
hornely democratic policy Of paying small
diplomatic salaries has been 20 make the
most important posts monopoly for
wealthy amateurs And instead OF con-
trolling magnifconce and display, 1T has
made the ambassador style Of living en-
tirely matter of personal taste and
fortune, with some famous and appalling
results

THE PRICE OF COAL.

MORGENTHAU FOR MEXICO.

The appointment Of Henry Morgen-
thau a. Ambassador TO Mexico carries
promise OF something more than the re-
sumption Of diplomatic relations with
that country. Besides high character,
learning i'm the law and familiarity with
important business affairs, his experience
as Ambassador to Turkey preceding our
entrance to the war revealed capacity
on his part 10 meet difficult situations

From his well-known views of the at
titude which the United States should
hold toward other nations, IT IS TO he as

signifies that there Is TO be no change
of policy south of the Rio Grande except
as he may find it 8 pleasure TO remove
the Misunderstanding unfortunately
intensified by former Secretary Lansing
during the early stages of the President S
illness. Essentially a man of peace, the
new Ambassador is not lacking in decision,
and our neighbors, too often suspicious,
will find in him friend unless they un-
wisely choose to make him less than
that.-New York World.

THE GOLFERS WISH.

A golfng bug lay dying, his strongth was
failing fast,
Tho putt he d sunk the day before WINS
doomed to be his last,
His eyes were turning CLASSY, beyond tho
slightest doubt,
The soul which feared no bunker deep
would soon go drifting out,
Then to the friends about him he turned
and whispered low;
81 hope I'll find Pinchurst IN the land to
which go.
81 hope there II be Pinehurst in the realm
beyond the stars,
Where all the golfers gather TO brag about
their pars;
I hone in some fair city whore departed
spirits dwell
And it may be up in heaven or It may be
down in hell
That I'll find ono haunt devoted To the
glorious gofing kin
Where can sit and tell them oi the shots
I've made to WIN.
al want to SIT among them, all those
gabby golfng chaps. -,
And talk TO them Of hazards, bitches,
chocolate mounds and traps,
I'll play earth's courses over with those
golfers gone before
II they only have n Pinehurst on that fsr-
of golden shore;
Oh, I'll live my golf life over, IN Thorough
and through the fair,
And III be happy angel, II they have
Pinehurst there.
ct is true that I've been nutty, II is true
I've gone astray,
And | know that death can never wash
my golfing sins away;
But the men I've met at Pinehurst have
all talked the same as |,
So with golfers I'll he happy IN that land

As gabby golf nut angel can face

If they only have a Pinehurst and hoo,

Fear Check From The President.

RenubLcan leaders are afraid President
Wilson will move to block their plan for
an early adjournment of Congress, as nc
defeated their purpose for a recess last
August, because of failure to enact any
of the much-needed reconstruction legis-
lation To consider which Congress was
called in special session last May. They
realize that the President would have the
same reason for demanding that Congress
re,oain in session this summer as he had
for onposing the recess plan last summer
lis complete failure to meet any OF the
demands for reconstruction Legislation
When the special session of tho present
Congress was called. the President recon-
mended several legislative measures to
deal with the reconstruction problems that
have been press ng for settlement for the
las, wear. Not one of those problems were
settled during the special session, and
since the opening Of the regular session
last December, only one, the railroad
problem. has been dealt with Congress
finally enacting a railroad bill in Fobru-
ary.
Eight or more other bills are now scat
tered through the committees or areon the
calendars of the House and Senate. but
aren't getting anywhere. They include
measures dealing with the high cost Of
living problem, such as the regulation OF
cold storage warehouses. marking Of
packages that go into interstate com
merce. and q Federal licensing law, as
we'll as measures TO improve industrial
conditions. secure budgetary reform, re-
duca and re-iistribute the tax burdens,
also the question Of tariff reform, made
necessary by the new world-trade sltua-
tion developing from the world war.
: Congress has done nothing TO equallze
or improve the tariff situation, for the
few measures that have passed the House
arc the sort that Senator Pcnrose con
: tenptuoslslv referred TO rs 'pop-gun bills "
! The Republican majority has wasted
months of valuable time in Idle talk and
partisan manipulation.
Blame for the delay in dealing with the
many problems that confronted Congress
at the beginning of its session Is LAID at
the feet of the members of the Republican
steering committee" AS charged by
REPRESENTATIVE Claude kitchin, majority
leader in the last Congress, this commit
tee. named by the Republican, caucus TO
consider every bin offered to Congress
with an eye single to its effect on the
impending political campaign, has adopt
ed "do-nothing policy in order to &c
before the country in the national cam
uaign and make glittering promises OF
how all these problems will be dealt with
by the Republican party if the country
will only entrust it with power IN botf
the Legislative and executive branches O
the government.
The fear that the President will cal
Congress to account and again remind L
that 1t has been grossly neglectful OF 1T
duty if it attempts to adjourn IN Jun'
with these problems still unsolved Is tn
ghost that haunts the Republican leader
by day and by night.
