DISABLED SOLDIERS PAY.

The House Committee on Educa-
tiOn has agreed TO report bill granting
s100~a month to disabled former soldiers
now engaged In vocational training in
stead of $50 a month. 1t is a Just and
beneficial proposal, which Congress should
not delay in approving The pluck of the
disabled men rs worthy of this recog-
milton, and the country will be the gamer
by the encouragement which is gwen to
these boys to- pursue their studies 10 the
point OF self-support.
The reports from hospitals and yoca-
tional schools are universal on one point
namely, that the disabled soldiers are
always cheerful and hopeful, in spite Of the
handicap imposed upon them by the in
juries received IN service. Every one of
these wounds is badge of honor, draft
upon the gratitude of the Union which
must be honored. The fact that the soldier
BOYS can be cheerful in the face of forget
fulness and deprivation of their former
freedom of action is a rebuke to Americans
who STAYED at home and escaped all of
the hardships of war Thousands of the
disabled men arc making = themselves
useful, while additional thousands can
become so if the federal vocational train
ing machinery is speeded up little more

WOULD TAX LAND VALUES.

Editor Every Evening When the
owners of Every Evening put up it's
present building about forty years ego.
they thought Deighboring Market street
land too higipfor their purposes IL was
held far above the assessed valuation. and
ad examination Of the records showed
that such land had not been re-assessed
for twenty-five years. Perhaps Wilmington
now has more Just assessment of
real estate, but it will be miracle If the
erection OF Every Evenings new building
does not bring on n sudden increase in the
assessed valuation OF the land it is To
occupy, and IT Is certain that the new
building itself will be made 10 pay taxes

Meanwhile, with tho Improvement Of
the neighborhood caused by tho erection
of this building, other land thereabout
is likely to he more valuable TO its owners.
though IL they choose 10 leave il unirn-
proved they are unlikely To find their
assessments greatly increased Business

PRESS COMMENT.
THE TREATY FIGHT.

What is the significance Of the Senate
vote Saturday on the Treaty reservation
AZ to withdrawal from the League of
NationsY 1t IN the first reservation TO
be accepted by two-thirds majority,
but whether that means much or little
depends apparently upon the Senators
who did not vote. The vote Of forty
five TO twenty-leavcs thirty-one Sem
ators unrecorded, and there il moth
ing to show in the press reports that
the majority of these were paired. Their
failure to vote may have certain signif-
canoe. II may be that they arc "wab-
bling and are waiting to stand in with
the winners. That ten Democratic
Senators joined with 81 Republicans in
the support of the original Lodge rescr-
walton looks as if there were a decided
break in the heretofore almost solid
Administration force That Hitchcock s
amendment was beaten is not so sur
prising, but that Lodges own compromise
was defeated may seem so at first blush.
This was due to the opposing votes of
the ten Republicans "irrcconcilables, who
voted with % Democrats against it, re-
jecting the Lodge compromise by ma
Jority of one. There is nothing to show
that Mr.. Lodge was very much discon-
certed by this defeat. In fact, from the
exchange Of Senatorial comment during
the debate, it may not be unfair to as
sumo that he was rathti pleased that his
proposed concession had been rejected |
and his original reservation sustained.
Whether the Democratic opposition Is |
going to pieces or not, or whether the |
final result will be to leave the Treaty |
and the League up IN the air, should be |
determined in q few days at most. Nearly |
a fourth of the Democratic Senators |
appear to be growing restless and ready /
to bring the fight TO n close; nearly
fourth of the Republicans Senators are
still determined not to let it end and to
put the whole question before the co,ln-
try. If IL or is other Democrats JOIN
the 10 who voted Saturday for the orig
lnal Lodge reservation, the long battle
in the Senate would be brought to a con-
clusion. 1t would then be up TO the
President to take the next step -Balti-

OF the matter. is thatth methods of farm
ing must he changed, radically reformed.
perhaps the farms may be merged and
operated in large tracts, where one may
employ pro6tably the latest and most ef-
fective machinery, most of which is too
costly for the man owning the farm of the
average size found in this section. Then,
perhaps, there could bc specialization in
the different branches and community
center where the workers could live and
meet in social intercourse and where they
could enjoy the healthier of the amuse-
ments offered tothe dwellers of the cities.
This review. while it may not affect
some local conditions that have long dis
tresscd the people of Wilmington, who
buy produce right from the farms in their
street markets, seem to apply tothc farm
ing industry in general. The condition is
far from assuring, and calls for remedy.

The Law Must Be Upheld.

Very interesting is the news from the
upper peninsula of Michigan of conflict
of authority over the enforcement of the
Federal Prohibition law. A seizure of
liquor by Federal agents was resisted by
the local officials, under the lead of the
county prosecuting attorney, and the
liquor restored to local control. The
Federal agents, of course, will continue
their efforts, and there may be an inter-
esting struggle. The affair naturally
recalls the notable whisky insurrection"
in Pennylsvania, in 1897, but that grew out
of the refusal of local distillers TO submit
to the imposition of the Federal tax.
President Washington, however, sup
pressed the uprising with a strong hand
and the excitement soon subsidized.
But even though the Michigan incident
involves a conflict of jurisdiction, arising
out of differences in provisions, or in
construction, of Federal and State laws,
there should be no resort TO violence. The
law Will afford manner of reeonciling
these differences, and of deciding which
law shall be paramount if they actually
clash, without affording any pretext for
resort TO violence. And the law should
be depended upon to the end. 1t will not
fail TO meet every emergency that may
arise
The fact that this is a government OF
law should never be lost sight of, and that
respect for and obedience TO law is the
prime duty of all good citizens. To
gnore this sound contention would be

COAST TO COAST.

An event of Importance to the At
lantic and Pacific coasts alike is the
establishment of a steamship line by the
United States Steel Corporation with
terminals on the two oceans. The ships
which are to pass through the Panama
Canal bear appropriate names, the
Steelmaker, the Steel Age and the Steel
Voyager; these constitute but part Of the
contemplated feet, 20 additional ships
now being in process of con struction at
shipyards on or near the Atlantic The
cities Of San Francisco, Portland and Van
couyer naturally are taking much interest
in the new service, and Eastern cities
likewise have reason for commencing
the enterprise.
Although the presumption is that the
new line is intended primarily for the
of the steel trade, il is like
ly that it will encourage people not In the

Return of the Railroads.

Assuming that President Wilson viii
have no objection TO the Railroad Return
bill, which was finally passed by the
Senate. Monday evening, return OF the
railroads of the country TO their former
ownership and control may be expected
next week. President Wilson had already
issued proclamation announcing that
the return would be made on Monday
March ] and only bis veto Of the measure
would prevent this return being made
under the provisions of the bill While
some elements, principally that OF or
ganized labor, have opposed the bill as
passed by Congress, the consensus Of
opinion throughout the country is very
favorable to it. That it will be effective
as beginning is not doubted, and any
defects may easily be renedied by subse-
quent legislation.
There is no doubt all the people will
heartily welcome the return of the rail-
roads TO private management. The ex-
pertinent of government control and OPP
Grafton, a war emergency, has been SUI
hcient TO satisfy most OF the American
people that they do not banker after gov
ernment ownership and control of the
railroads. The government control and
management has not been as satisfactory
as the system it temporarily superseded.
And under the restoration the people may
look for better service, under
much improved conditions, and probably,
in due time, at less cost.

THE GREATER PART.

The rain comes pelting down, and then
The sun begins 10 shine again;
One day misfortune comes along.
The next we sing a cheerful song;
But when IL all is understood,
The greater part of life is good.
What if today we're decp IN woe7
Tomorrow all our cares may go;
Today as failures we come in,
Tomorrow We may fight and win;
And when the sum of life we add,
he good we'll find exceeds the bad.
I here's more Of sunshine than of rain,
! here's more Of pleasure than of pain;
Throughout each moftal's span of years
There's more Of laughter thnn Of tears,
And seldom God sends down care
That is too much for man TO bear.
SO let's be brave In grief or pain
And wait till skies grow blue again;
Let's live our hours Of darkness through
Until the sun shall shine anew,
And keep our faith, whate'er befall,
That good IS written through IL all.
