Forever Playing Politics.

The G. o. P. majority IN the Senate is
forever playing politics. A study of the
Senate records shows very large number
of appointments sent to the Senate by
the President, on which confirmation has
been withheld. generally without any ex-
cuse being offered. Some Of the appoint
ments are to foreign posts, one of them
Ambassador to Mexico Some OF them are
10 Federal iudgeships. In the latter case,
there does not seem any reason the Re-
? publicans in the Senate could have Tor
withholding confirmation. save that filling
these iudgeships be deferreW until a new
administration comes into power, hoping
that Republican President viii be elect
efand that Republicans may get the Jobs.
Among the appointments on which
action has been delayed is the naming of
three American delegates to an interna-
tional convention on communications, q
very important convention to adopt an
agreement for wire and other methods Of
communication, similar to the existing
international postal agreement. to be held
in Washington In August. The Republic
can leader. Senator Lodge, is said TO have
boldly written the State Department that
the nomination of these delegates would
not be approved by the Senate because one
of them was Objectionable to Senator PEN
rose, who is the Republican 'boss.
The President has the appointive pow
er, and the Senate is supposed to accept
his selections, unless there be good reason
for disapproval There should be some
other reason for failure to confirm than
merely to play politics" and display
partisan prejudice.

Democratic State Convention.

The Democrats of Delaware will for
mally open the national political campaign
of 1920 in this State by holding conven-
tion at Dover The delegate elections
were held on Saturday, and they were
conducted with freedom from exciting
or disturbing contests that augurs well
for harmonious and enthusiastic party
gathering at the State Capital tomorrow.
The main business Of the convention
will be the election of six delegat es to
represent the State at the Democratic
National Convention which will open at
San Francisco on Monday, June .. Not
withstanding the distance involved IN
travelling to the convention city there will
be no difficulty in selecting representative
delegates, as a trip to the Pacific Coast and
return is very attractive recreation for
this time Of the year II is not surprising,
therefore, that there is no lack Of candi-
dates from among whom the convention
will select two from each county.
The convention also will elect the
States member Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. for the first time, this
duty having previously devolved upon
the national convention delegates. For
this position there may be a contest, al
though the primary election did not indi-
cate that it would assume a very exciting
or unusual charat sad the convention
will adopt Il Of principles
which is not give room TO
detail, in view ol ~. iact that the national
convention viii set forth what the Demo
cratic party wall advocate in its appeal TO
the people of the country for vote Of
confidence this year.
And so the Democratic State Conven-
ton will assemble under unusually in
teresting and inspiring auspices. It
should produce excellent results.

PRESS COMMENTS,
LABOR COURTS FOR REDRESS.

It is hardly likely that the Poindexter
bill making strikes unlawful In times OF
national crisis--the term is so flexible
will be enacted without regard to the
protest of labor against it, Simply to vet
up such law without the full agencies
for redress of grievances would be OF
little good and would, upon the other
hand, be Of doubtful constitutionality.
The workers themselves are citizens as
well Ms workers, and would have right to
say whether conditions of national emer-
gency had arisen es much SOFAS some officials
IN Washington or mere unorganixed
sentiment of the people.
What is really required Is for the
country to watch with keen interest
the experiemnt of the labor court of
Governor Allen, of Kansas. When the
Cummins and the Esch bills were before
their respective bodies reserved approval
was given them in these columns, the
reserve centering about the creation of a
system of labor courts, for the hearing
of all labor grievances, and, indeed, public
grievances, that bear upon the acts of or
attitude of labor in specific instances.
Since then the Kansas experiment. has
been inaugurated It may be that the
whole subject oflabor tribunals where
the worker could have his cause heard by
absolutely impartial. judges and without
cost to himself, should be a State affair
rather than to have the general govern
ment conduct such courts They would
then exist where the need was poignant
and nowhere else, and be out Of national
politics, But out right bold antistrlke
legislation for workers is repellant to the
sensibiities Of those who are careful for
the essence of democracy as we'll es its
forms.-Baltimore American.

Now Get to Work on the School Code.

The Legislature reassembled at Dover,
today, for what should be the final week
of the special session. Notwithstanding
the disposition to keep the door open to
various kinds of new business. it will be
the best policy to sternly refuse all over
lures in this direction. There should be
no time diverted. during this week. to
any other business than School Code con-
sideration and matters pertaining to final
adjournment. We take it that the Leglsla-
ture will adjourn over tomorrow, during
the meeting of the Democratic State
Convention, as that is a political affair OF
more than usual interest, which will at
tract the attention OF the members of the
Legislature of both political parties. Such
faction is due as a matter of courtesy to
the Democratic members, as the Legisla-
ture took adjournment over the day the
Republican State Convention met in
Dover.
But the time thus satcrihccd may be
made up by assiduous attention to husi-
ness. especially by remaining in Dover at
nights during this week. This course
should have been followed from the first,
and the members have shown themselves
,liscreditablv Indifferent to the interests
Of the State by running away from the
capital each afternoon and remaining
away until next morning. The evenings
would have been most valuable for con-
sideration of the School Code. and much
could be accomplished by utilizing them
this week in extending consideration to
the School Code We fear. however, this
well-rneant advice is wasted in advance.
The legislators have become so welded
10 the ridiculous and reprehensible course
Of devoting only few hours day TO the
important business of legislation that it
seems impossible for them to break away
from it.
But the School Code demands atten-
ton. It is in need Of amendment, and
the commission having the matter in
charge has prepared number OF proposed
changes which give fair promise OF I'M
proving the measure very materially,
and especially of eliminating some OF the
most serious objections that have been
raised against some OF its provisions. To
allow it to remain in its present condition
would virtually make waste Of the entire
special session, as il is the only business OF
real public Importance that in any manner
justified the calling of the special session.
While it is probable the seheming poll
ticians will not allow the interminable
natter of Equal Suffrage TO remain IN the
grave where IT was inferred by decisive
majority of the House. early in the special
session, it is hoped the members will not
permit it to interfere with consideration
of the School Code Their reputation and
their credit are at stake. If they allow
the special session to close without def
ute action towards improvement OF the
code, they will virtually write themselves
down as inefficient and negIectful Of grave
ly important public interests. Surely,
they should not deliberately make rec
ord that would reflect such diseredit UPON
themselves.
