RETRIBUTION.

There was man whose fame was
won,
By blowing in an empty gun.
No sooner in the gun he blew,
Than off this mortal sphere he flew,
And met the girl in yonder scene,
Who lit the fire with kerosene
And there he saw in vengeance dire
The one who called man liar.
He was budding close as if for life
Beside the man who whipped his wife
Take warning each, take warning ALL
For retribution sure will fall
On him who does careless deed,
Or wrongs another without heed.

THINKS AMERICANS
ARE WORLD CITIZENS

In an address before the Westminster
Club OF Hanover Presbyterian Church
last night on international Govern
ment." Caleb Z. Burchenal declared
that he believes that we are more than
citizens Of Delaware. that we are more
than citizens Of the United States; be-
lleve that we are In the truest sense
citizens Of the world.
81 feel that we have duties and obli-
cations that we owe 20 the State and
nation, and that we have likewise du-
ties and obligations, as great and as i'm
portant, that we owe to the world" Mr..
Burchenal said. "Only in fulfilling these
obligations do we as citizens prove that
we deserve 10 be called democratic and
Christian"
Mr. Burchenal said that tie late war
which cost the world s537. .O00, 10000 and
100000 men. is the one conclusive
argument in favor Of a new order Of
things In the world. He said he felt that
the American people desired 70 and
would share In the reorganization OF
the world along democratic lines.

PROD GORMLEY ON
SUFFRAGE STAND
Contlnued from Flrst r.


ley plan were followed the Constitution
would becom. mere rigid than untem-
pered steel II II had been followed
in The past. this country in the twen-
tleth century would be travelling on
Tho narrow gauge road OF the eigh-
teenth.
senator Gormley claims that his
plan would show the sentiment OF the
voters OF the state on Woman Suf-
frage In point OF fact 1t would not
do this. The next el ctlon Is a presi-
dental election. and In Delaware, a
gubernatorial one also The political
atmosphere will be literally charg d
with issues and the minds Of many
male voters swayed by them Their
ballots will be east upon these othe~
issu s. not upon the question OF Wom-
an Suffrage
Would Senator Gormley expect or
wish Democratic voters 10 be influ-
enced or controlled by the position OF
cand date on Woman Suffrage2 Would
ne expect or want Democrats who IA
vored Woman Suffrage 10 vote for a
Republican candidate who thought as
they did on this question? The very
scheme Of our State Senatorial and Rep
r-sentative election districts makes 70
impossible for the will OF the people
on this matter TO be expressed through
their choice Of Legislative candidates.
Til, Gormley plan will prove nothing
rs 10 the sent ment on Woman Suf-
frage in the state.
Mr.. Gormley by taking this position
can accomplish but one thing for the
Democratic party In Delaware. He can
make the thousands OF Women voters
who will cast their ballot at the Della
ware election in the fall Of 1920 feel
that his party did not champion their
cause whoR-heartedly. That the fine
action Of the State Democratic Central
Committee Is not endorsed by those
who represent that party in the Leg
islature and those women VIII feel That
they cannot afford to align themselves
with senator Gormley's party without
due questions. What the far-seeing
statesman in Delaware realizes is that
The whole question has already been
decided. National Woman Suffrage is
coming. As ! write this letter the fig
ures move up from 20 TO 30. Three
more States stand In line ready TO ratify
this week. But three more are needed
TO give the woman Of this broad land
complete citizenship. Any attempt to
stop the movement Is about as effec-
tive as attempting TO sweep back the
incoming tide with a broom.
