Bishop Elect Cooks Address.

Bishop-elect DR.. Philip Cook s ilrst Ut
terances in the State, before the pupils OF
the Delaware College Summer school at
Newark on Sunday, give the hope 'nat
the new head of the Delaware Protestant
Episcopal Diocese will be useful as
sociate in the work of developing a more
healthful public sentiment IN the COM
munitv. He stands firmly on the platform
of Improvement in the educational OPP
portunitics and of the youth, for the IN
creased efficiency of the public schools
He emphasizes the incongruity OF a base
ball player getting two or three tunes as
much pay as college president OF Oh
motion picture person receiving ten OF
even fifteen times as much as the President
of the United States. DIR. Cook also re-
marked on the low wage of the clergy, as
another illustration of the small apprecia-
ton set bv the public on the value OF BRAN
power. In other words he showed that tne
pubIc accents and appraises the I'M
material things and rewards them ac-
cordingly.
Not tho least important of Bishop
Cooks address was directed towards the
amusements and the customs OF To-Day, IN
dicating as he points out the need OF an
active moral national tonic that will heal
the love for the cheap and vulgar Things
Jazz music rightly comes under his con-
denna+ion asan example of the unloveiyln
inartistic suggestiveness that should be
cast aside. and the vulgar comic supple
ments Of newspapers he finds offensive
rs thew for the most part are. The prevail
inc stvle in wornan's dress, DR.. Cook also
no;nts out as another Of these vulgarities
that NAV REQUIRE perhaps a long time pc
fore they will give way to the mooss'
and beautiful.
Dr Cooks attitude on the religious
demands on man today can not De ne''er
elucidated than by quoting a few SEN
fences from his discourse:
The one controlling spirit that cen
| hold in check that spirit OF war tiat ~ |,
| the scientific analysis means universal
| homicide, is the spirit that religion aioIlc
| can supplv. As We stand at the cross
roads Of a new age and new life: there Is
nothing more evident today than TINS,
that the future points either TO Ihris'
or chaos. 1t remains for the woria %

science.

the world today and beholds the batthnE
forces Of evil, the greed for power OF iahc
or whatever possession irrespective Q

Mount can discern that only through
implicit faith in the Christ and obedience

times, and if it needs more emphasis now

HARDING SCUTTLES THE LEAGUE

Mr.. Harding's speech of acceptance
is that of a United States Senator. There
fore, it is long and verbose. 1t is also elo-
ouent with the eloquenoe OF the Ohio
vintage of about 1891. Several of the posi-
tions diInly visible through the Senators
cloud of words invite comment; but he
takes only one position that eally counts.
This has to do with the Treaty and the
League of Nations, and may be stated In
plain language Mr. Harding had tmcondi-
tionally surrendered to Johnson and
Borah. He has thrown over MIR. Taft
and taken sides with Senator Knox. He
has gone back on the majority of the
Republican Senators including himself
and given in to the small minority. In
short, Mr.. Harding is against ratnying
the Treaty on any terms and opposed to
entering the League of Nations upon any
conditions. Instead of sailing the ship to
port, as it was said he would, he has
scuttled her.
If Senator Harding has thrust a sword
into his own party, he has given the
Democrats clear issue and great OPP
balancing a set of Republican reserva-
tions to the Treaty against q Democratic
set Vhe Republican candidate has thrown
overheard the whole previous program--or
pretense- of his party He is against the
Treaty in any formi opposed to the
League however amended. This opens the
way for any positive plan which Governor
Cox may propose. Anything affirmative
by the Democrats will be better than this
deadly republican negative. Mr.. Harding
has cleared the field for his opponents
| and given them a stronger cause and O
| more favorable fighting ground than they
could have hoped for-New York Times

Chance For Boy Scouts.

PRESS COMMENTS.
IT SUITS JOHNSON.

II there were any doubts M To Senator
Harding's position upon the League OF
Nations il would be removed by Sem
ator Johnsons enthusiastic approval OF
the acceptance speech. IL suits the Call
fornia irreconcilablc down to the ground.
He rolls it's rotund periods under ms
tongue with increasing delight.or
his purpose in quoting so freely that OF
taking a prccaution against some 1nhr
probation by the nominee that mignI
cloud the issue in unwclcomc vagtiencssl
Il is apparent that the Harding speech
pleases Senator Johnson much better
than he was pleased by the Harding
nomination. IL took him good while TO
make up his mind about the nomination,
but short twenty-four hours following
the nominees speech of acceptance SUI
fees to bring from him loud "hurrah
for HardingP -,
This is a logical course Of action. The
nomination of Harding was negative
victory for the anti Leaguers. At best,
it opened the way for n positive triumph.
The question was, Would Harding enter
that way? Broad-minded Republicans
have done their best To think that his
speech of acceptance did not commit him
to the policy chanpioned in the Senate
and at Chicago by Senators johnson and
Borah. They have tried to argue that
maybe he didn't mean quite what he
evidently did mean. Senator Johnson
is more careful in refusing to allow the
wish to become father to the Thought.
His very delay in indorsing Harding 3
nomination adds weight to his prompt
Endorsement of Harding's announcement
of his attitude toward the League. HIS
Interpretation of that announcement, un-
less Immediately and unequivocaily repu-
dated by Senator Harding, will be gener-
ally accepted as correct. 1t means that
the small minority of btter-enders arnon!g,

Who Are Regulars
New York World

With his true instinct of the carotid
and the jugular," Hiram johnson grips
at the throat of the paramount issue, In
his own party. He disregards, as so much
ponderous buncombe, all platform platl-
tudes and candidate promises of new
international relations which, when Tur-
key signs the peace, only Mexico will be
left to enter with us. He drives straight
at those words In Senator HardIngs
speech of acceptance which were written
to placate him, and those who follow hun
In uncompromising hostility to the League
of Nations. Exultingly he says
Senator Harding unequivocally took
his stand upon the paramount issue In
this campaign-the League of Nations.
The Republican party stands committed
by its platform; its standard-bearer now
accentuates that platform. There can be
no misunderstanding his eloquent words:
''Our party means to hold the heritage
of American nationality unlmpaired and
unsurTendered." Senator Harding is to be
congratulated upon his firm and emphatic
stand against the proposed League of
| Nations"
BY all the laws of politics MIR. Johnson
is justified IN picking out OF long and
labored speech containing something
him He can go TO his solemn referen-
dunn" phrasing the issue as he will. He
can denounce the surrender, whether
with interpretations, apologies or reluctant
reservations" of any part or portion OF
the preserved Inheritance of national
| freedom" He is regular" he can quote
chapter and verse, platform or porch.
| Regular" he proposes to remain.
But where does Mr.. Johnson's regu-
| larity leave many Republican leaders,
| hitherto high in the councils of the party,
who favor the League of Nations-some
even advising acceptance with reserva-
/ tions few and mild? If the platform is
| Johnsonian, if the speech of acceptance is
Johnsonese and if the campaign Is to be
Johnsonesque, what place is left In the
program for men like Mr.. Taft, Mr.
Wickersham, MIR. Hughes; what place
for Republican Senators like Nc
Cumber and Nelson? Above all, what
place for the nestor of the party Mr.
| Root? He wrote that part of the plat.
| form dealing with the League. He is also
author of the plan of the High Court Of
international Justice, under the League
which Mr. johnson says must not be
AS leading member of the preliminary
conference Of jurists he has taken promi
nent part in the discussions of plans TO
the permanent frame of that body, which
are to be formulated and submitted &
THE members (member nations) of tn

Mr.. johnson may be regular; he admit
it. But If he Is, some OF the Oldest ant
most famed and honored leaders of tn
Republican party must meekly submit
or be read out of that party by tn
Senator from California.

THE BOOK or MEMORY.

Turn me loose and let me be
Young on ce more and fancy free;
Let me wander where | will,
Down the lane and up the bull.
Trudging barefoot in the dust :.
In an age that knows no must,
And no voice insistently
Speaks Of duty unto me,
Let me tread the happy ways
Of those by-gone yesterdays.
Fame had never whispered then,
Making slaves OF eager men;
Greed had never called me down
TO the gray walls of the town,
Offering frankincense and myrrh
If I'd be its prisoner;
| WAS free to come and go
Where the cherry blossoms blow,
Free to wander wh0e would,
Finding life suprcmely good. \
But ] turned, as all must do,
From the happiness ! knew
To the land OF care and strife,
Seeking for a fuller life;
Heard the lure of fame and sought
Recognition in her court,
Answered to the voice of greed;
Give me what | seem to needf
Now the gray town holds me fast,
Prisoner to the very last.
Age has stamped me as its own,
Youth to younger hearts has fiown;
Still the cherry blossoms blow
In the land | used to know,
Still the fragrant cover spills
Perfume over dales and bills,
But I'm not allowed to stray
Where the young are free 10 play;
All the years will grant to me
Is the book Of memory.

The Central Labor Union has been
misinformed or is taking a mistaken
stand towards the small real estatcdealer.
To tax the small dealers out OF business
is a mighty poor policy in amy line OF
trade, unless we want to benefit the larger
men. Competition is the only protection
against further extortion, and we must
try to encourage this safeguard at all
hazards and in all branches of business.
If there is any fault with the real estate
dealers boosting prices it is not blameable
on the small ones. The Central Labor
Union NAV look somewhere else to find
the profteers.

Large Hotel Needed

Williams greatest need for 1920, is a large and modern ho- tel capable of accommodating the hundreds of people who will wish to stop over in Will Hams during the coming tour ist season, but who will be un- able to do so for want of ac commodations. It does not matter who may build this hotel so long as it is built. It is to the interest of every business man and every citizen of Will Hams that such an establish nent should be erected here This hotel could be built with Williams money if only all of those owning property here would get together and the, pull together. The business man who might invest a few hundred or a thousand for such a purpose, might not get ten per cent on his investment. from profits on the hotel, but he would get more than ten per cent on that investment as a result of increased business.
 Who has a plan to offer? Who will start the ball rolling? Who can suggest the proper site for such a building? If anyone has a suggestion the News will be pleased to give it liberal publicity. Let us hear from you.
 Cooperation can give Will Hams the needed hotel.
