OUR ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

We are we'll acquainted with the nature
and character Of the Italian immigrants
and their grave problems and with the
tribulations Of all those who must leave
their native land in order TO go IN search OF
better fortune. However, we can say, and
without fear of having any one accuse us
of stating an untruth, that in no other
nation Of the world can our immigrants
find thesame cordial hospitality, thes same
generous recompense for then labor, and
rs much opportunity tothrlve and prosper
as they do in the United States Neither
will they find anywhere else as much llber-
ty, tolerance, and justice
However, by saying this We do not
mean to convey the impression that
Italian immigrants can find paradise on
earth here in the United States. And the
Italian immigrant must remember that no
matter how useful his work may be 10 tins
nation he is the one who IS the stranger
here, and therefore he cannot expect 10
receive exactly he same treatment that he
would in his own land and 70 do exactly rs
he neases As long aq We como To tins
country with nothing but olr poverty on
our shoulders we cannot expect any TOO
great a measure of sympathy from the
strangers who are our hosts. However, IN
spite of this, is there any other nation
which offers to the immigrants rs much as
the United States does and which allows
them to use the same rights and privileges
as il does all the other Citizens?-L Italia,

PRESS COMMENTS.
PEACE OR WAR.


II there is TO be no genuine league and
no real disarmament, Secretary Daniels
present view il wise and indeed, uncacap--
able. But has the secretary abandoned q
hope that once seemed to him 40 vital and
10 sure7 II he has not, why urge the I'M
mediate adoption of policy that sug..
gests the loes Of his former faith, and
which gives notice 10 all the world that
we regard the reduction Of armament as
an idle dream7 There is no particular
hurry for the inauguration of thus policy Oh
gigantic naval expansion, and the eiieet OF
the secretary's recommendation If hkely
to dampen any enthusiasm Tor dlsaFina-
ment that may have existed anywhere else,
especially when read IN connection with
the Presidents recent refusal TO send
representative Of the United States 10
participate in the proposed international
conference on the subject. Mr.. Wilson s
declination can easily be understood IN
the circumstances. He has been 40 criti-
cired and abused for autocratie acts and
tendencies, for committing the country To
this and that without the advice OF the
Senatorial Sanhedrim, that he doubtiess
suppressed his natural lnclinhtions IN the
matter. He did no. wish to lay himself
open TO fresh criticism or TO embarrass the
incoming administration. Mr.. Banieis
practices no such modest seli-restrasnt,
but laws before the country scheme oil
naval development that seems To negative
all prospect Of lessenlng our naval and
military burdens within reasonable
time.
The one thing which, more than any
other. is keeping the world from material
recovery, is the cost of past wars and the
preparation for future wars, hat cost
represents from IS TO "a per cent OF our
present enormous tax burdens. The price
of past war. and future wars Is sucking tho
life out of every great power on earth Al
of them want 10 get rid OF this vampire,
but each one is afraid Of the other. Japan
announced 10 the lcagued nations Mt
Geneva Saturday that she could not re
duce her armament while the United states
is increasing hers. To cry, Peace, pesce,
and AT the same time 10 propose anothef
period of mighty naval construction

definitely postpone the beginning oi any
real international cooperation on the SUD

League of Nations Growing.

On Wednesday, by a very generous vote
that showed no opposition, Austria was
admitted to full membership IN The League
of Natior. Yesterday the doors were
widely opened 10 the admission Of Finland
Luxembourg. Bulgaria and Costa Rico,
and today the doors were opened to
Albania
What shock this must be to those bit
Ter opponents cf the League Of Nations IN
our own country who have confidently
predicted failure for this great world
combination a nations in tho cause of
World Peace They rcioiced exceedingly
when Argentina, always q friend of
Germany, recently announced withdrawal
although that is hardly an accomplished
fact thus far, depending entirely upon the
plea advanced by her delegates that she
had not formally entered the League
Notice IL required before nation mem
Der can dissolve its League relations
But even without Argentina, the League
Of Nations has forty-six members, includ-
ing Austria and Bulgaria, who were asso-
ciated with Germany during the World
War.
And what nations are standing outside
the portals of the League, either unwilling
or unable 10 enter Here is the list
The United States Of America.
Germany.
Mexico
Soviet Russia
How do we like the company we are in?
We can tolerate Mexico, as that country
now seems disposed 20 behave decently
under the Obregon administration. And
il is probable Mexico will soon make ap-
plication for admission Germany would
like to be member, but the Allied ma
tons with which she waged cruel and de-
structive wsr viii not consent until she
has served long probation and shown
fruits meet for repentance"
So our country, Germany and
Russia ere really the only import
ant outsiders likely TO remain
such indefinitely The United States stays
out and Russia cannot get IN while she re-
mains under Soviet domination.
Where can President-elect Harding
hope 10 secure material for the interna-
tional association Of nations he is said to
have IN view? viii our people consent to

"Carry-Over" Senators.

Under lopg-prevsllIng conditions II re-
spect cf the Legislature Of our State,
members OF the State Senate are chosen
for terms Of four years, and the terms
rere so arranged al the beginning that
sach session would find some members who
held over from the preceding SESSION, A
complete House Of Representative is
chosen at each biennial election.
Heretofore, those Senators whose terms
covered two legislative sessions were
known al the second session as holding
over" Senators, and this term admitted
If DO doubt as to their status This year,
however, they have been placed under a
different and somewhat novel classihca-
ton, that Of 'carry-over" Senators. We
believe the Dover State Sentinel inaugural
ed this change-at least our attention WAS
first directed 10 it il the columns Of that
paper-and some other papers Of the
state have ioinedit.
But why "carry-over, instead Of
'holding-over?7 The latter is plain and
expressive. Everyone understands it.
"Carry-over' is not expressive, and it is
inappropriate, also decidedly inapplicable.
The word carry is one Of broad
capacity, including many meanings. The
principal ones are: To convey or trans
port; 70 lead or guide to transfer; to
sustain to hold; TO bear Or endure; 70 pro-
duce; to support; 70 make good Or valid
70 continue in force, as i'll business trans-
actions: and a surprisingly large number
Of ether elements But IN none Of its
meanings as amplified in the lotest lexl-
cons, does it fit IN as applicable in any
manner u a member Of body whose
term extends from one session 10 another.
We think it will be well, therefore, TO
continue to designate such members Of
our State Senate as the "hold-over," OF
better, "holding-over" Senators.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER II. 1920.
An Old Question In New Form.

The Jury challenge advanced by counsel
for Frank ]. James, now on trial at cam
den. n. J., charged with the brutal mur-
der of David s Paul, bank official OF that
city, opens an old question in new form
The challenge wss that the legal efficiency
Of the jury panel from which the trial jury
was to be drawn was fatally impaired by
the fact that the names Of women were ex-
cluded therefrom, while women are now
on al-fours with men in respect OF the
rights and privileges and duties Of citizen
ship.
A question similar in effect was raised
=. the trial Of William Neal, Negro, IN the
Court of Oyer and Terminer at New
Castle. November, 1880, on an indiot-
ment charging a felonious assault upon
Mrs. Margaret Gosser. white woman
Of BIackbird hundred. The case possessed
elements of outrageous brutality that
stirred public resentment very deeply, and
therefore it attracted wide attention
Neal wss promptly convicted and scntenc-
ed TO death
The late Anthony Higgins, who had
been assigned bv the court 70 defend Neal,
moved for new trial, and advanced as
reason that Negroes had been unlawfully
excluded from the jury panel from which
the Neal trial jury had been drawn. The
court ruled against him, and appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court Of the United
States. The latter court sustained the con-
tention made by Mr. Higgins, and ordered
3 new trial, by jury drawn from panel
from which Negroes should not be de-
lberateiy excluded The distinction was
somewhat finely drawn that II was not
essential that one or more Negroes should
be on the trial jury, but that they should
not be excluded from the panel list o.
Jurors from which trial jurors were drawn
AT the second trial, held in the then new
court house in this city, in February, 1881,
Neal was acquitted by jury selected on
partisan lines, much partisan feeling hav-
ing been injected into the case by the aP-
peal proceedings shortly afterwards, the
nrst Negro to serve on jury panel IN
Delaware, Moses America cf Brandywine
hundred. was drawn for term oi Superior
Court.
The court in Camden, on Wednesday
denied the motion 10 quash the jury panel,
and whether the case viii be carried to the
higher courts for decision will not be de-
ter7nined for some time. The ground OF ap-
peal, however, seems TO he on all-fours with
thatin the Neal case, with this important
exception: Neal was Negro, and his plea
was that Negroes had been uDlawfully ex-
rluded from the jury panel from which his
trial jury was drawn. But the New Jersey
defendant is a man, and II Is questiona Die
whether a plea that women were unlaW-
fully excluded from the jury panel would
,,perate ID his behalf For woman Grim
nal, under similar conditions Il might

Selling Tomatoes to Gamers.

South Jersey tomato growers have
taken the initial steps for next years
business by turning over to the Farmers
Union the work of a--anging in advance
fo- the sale Of next Yeas crop 10 the can
nc-s. The union will serve as sales agent
for al the growers of South Jersey and
will fix the price and settle in advance all
other conditions of sale. II is proposed
TO make binding, hard-and-fast con-
tract, which both parties, it will be in
sisted, must live up TO.
Through the action indicated above
the growers have determined 10 stabilize
the tomato business 80 that in the future
it will be less of a gamble as TO whether the
farmer shall lose money on his crop. IT
must be conceded that this i. wise and
prudent business step on the part OF the
farmers, and one that must commend
itself to the tomato growers of Delaware.
Tomato raising has, indeed, been beset
with uncertainties. and these will be
greatly reduced If the farmers can be held
together so that they may act as solid
unit in selling their vegetables. II would
seem from the average experience that
the man who grows tomntoes for the
Gamer has about three chances of losing
money on his crop 20 one Of making n
small profit, while the canner, organized
TO control the prices of'hs raw material,
and Of bis output, is in position 70 assure
himself fair return for hIs goods
In Maryland there has been another
illustration Of similar action, although on
different lines Sheep owners there found
thev must sell their wool at a big loss II
thew disposed of it 20 dealers st current
quotations, and after much inquiry have
ascertaned that when woven into blan-
kets and automobile robes, the finished
product could be sold 80 as 10 enable them
to net So cents pound. The latter ex-
pertinent has presented such q satisfac-
tory solution Of the wool growers price
problem that the movement is extending
TO all parts Of the State.
These experiences teach that the farmer
must gain all the legitimate profit that
may be- obtained from his products with
out advancing the price Of the commodi-
ties 10 poirt where it will slacken the
demand for them or prove an imposition
upon consumers
