The approval OF the pope was con-

TIMELY YETOES.

The Governor of New York vetoes six
anti-sedition bills enacted as a result
of the recent hearing and oustlng Of
Socialist members of the General Assembly
The Governor evidently does not sub
scribe to the doctrine that unless an in
dividual chooses TO coniinc this thinking
Ia the channels approved by those In
authority he should be tieprived Of the
right to participate in the government Of
his State.
The ousting Of the New York Socialists
was a blow to free government. 10 have
barred the Socialists from putting up n
ticket 1T future elections, as one OF the
vetoed bills would have done, or To have
barred Socialists from holding public
office, rs another of the measures pro-
vided. would have branded the law
makers Of New York rs men unfit 10
handle questions involving the stability
Of government.
1t is often argued that giving an Execu-
tive the veto power over popular legis-
lative assembly, Is an unsound and danger
Gus procedure Not infrequently, however,
as in the present case, tho executive ludg-
ment proves so much more sane than that
OF the Legislature that it affords the best
possible recommendation fer the veto
as an emergency political device. Governor

Fighting the Governor.

Before adjournment, Wednesday after
noon, the State Senate confirmed some
appointments, mainly justices Of the
peace. made by Governor Townsend since
the regular session. Two appointments,
however. failed to receive confirmation
that Of Harry G. Short for sealer Of weights
and measures in Sussex county, and DR.
William r. Messick Of Georgetown for
State cannerv inspector.
Governor Townsend may reappoint
these two officials, and they would con
tinue in Office until the session Of the next
Legislature, but the refusal Of the State
Senate to extend confirmation is another
move in the Republican fight against the
governor. which was successful in the
recent Republican State primaries. when
he was defeated for national convention
delegate from Sussex county, and is to be
continued until the end Of his term.
No doubt the governors enemies be-
lieve that by holding up these appoint
ments until the next session another
Republican governor, more congenial
to them, will appoint men TO their liking,
possibly Of their choice This may be
the result, but there also is a possibility
Of the election Of a Democratic governor,
and then the schemes Of the governor s
fractional opponents would come TO grief.

PRESS COMMENTS.
LODGEAND WHY MOTT

Reports from Chicago that Henry Cabot
Lodge may be brought out as the COM
promise candidate at Chicago are not
necessarily based on substantial founda-
ton of fact but they reveal q keen appre-
citation of the logis of the situation.
Senator Lodge ought To be the Repub-
lican nominee for President. More truly
than any other member of that party he
embodies the issue of the campaign. The
record that the Republican National
Convention will champion is In the main
the record of Henry Cabot Lodge.
IL was he who, as majority leader oil the
Senate, conceived the program oil treaty
wrecking which has been carried to a
successful conclusion. IL was under ms
benevolent auspices that the round
robin came into existence. IL was he
who packed the Foreign Relations Com
mittee with Republican Senators known
to be hostile to the treaty. IL was he who
loaded down the resolution of ratification
with reservations which he knew that the
President would not accept, and II was he
who successfully blocked every attempt at
compromise.
Senator Lodge is not so vocierous
treaty-sInasher as Senator Hiram john
son but he is much more subtle and much
mere efficient. He accomplishes his ends
by more ador It means The Republican
majority would never have followed
Johnson in his ''rough-neok" assaults on
the treaty rs il followed Lodge III killing
it by deity stabbing it in the back.
Penrosc is ostensibly for Knox, but even
Knox, with his separate peace, does not
represent the issue so fully as Lodge.
Moreover, there is comprehensive IN
consistency about Lodges record which
squares with the whole Republican record
in regard TO the treaty. AT one time or
another Lodge has been on every side of II
The man who is capable of declaring that
a separate peace would brand us with
everlasting dishonor" and then voting
for n separate peace rs party matter has
Presidential possibilities that the Chicago
convention cannot afford TO disregard.

CANDY AND SUGAR.

Secretary Houston says the American
people eat candy TO the value OF 81 ,00O,-
100000 wear and then complain of the
shortage Of sugar. If the Secretary could
separate the sheep from the goats and
DENY sugar 10 the candy eaters and let the
Others have plenty poetic justice would be
done. However, II IS not shortage Of
sugar the people complain Of, but the high
price There Is no shortage observable
in the grocery stores. They can get all
they want at the price charged save only
the delay caused by crippled railway serv-
ice. There is denial Of any actual shortage
by many-who are in position to know
and whose business requires that they
keep track Of conditions.
Recently the National Preservers and
Fruit Growers Association, composed of
the largest sugar users of the country, hav-
ing in its membership So per cent of the
makers Of jams, ielhes and preserves, at a
meeting in New ork, declared that its
members would stay out OF the sugar
market until the price is reduced. The
president Of the association said that with
the sugar already received and the amount
contracted for and available on the Cuban
market there is an excess Of more than
SOC, 900 tons over the consumption Of last
wear That Is the reason why the people
are not complaining Of q shortage IN sugar
which does not exist, but OF high prices
which do exist.
The official expressed the opinion that
the housewives Of the country could bring
down the price by stopping purchases. -

1T HAS LASTED LONG ENOUGH.

II the Attorney General Of the United
States Is to be believed, a government
official whom he describes as having
the standing Of an Assistant Secretary
of q great department has caused jail
deliveries BY wholesale, sympathized with
revolutionary elements and sought TO block
the operation Of the deportation laws 80
as 10 bring the law officers Of the govern
ment into disrepute.
II this official and others are to be
believed, the Attorney General has ms
treated many aliens held Tor deportation,
has made many arrests without warrants
and has been guilty Of cruelty and law
lessness, allegations 10 which effect are
ampIifed by the Popular Government
League, which claims 10 have made
shocking discoveries and 10 have proofs
Of the truth Of what il charges.
Whatever foundation IN fact there may
be for any or all of these accusations,
there is no conceivable reason why both
Of these ofieials-A. Mitchell Palmer and
Louis + Post should remain in the serv-
ice Of the present administration Each
should threaten TO resign il the other be not
not asked or compelled 10 relinqnish the
Office he holds. Each should insist upon
preserving his self-respect
Similarly the President himself should
have q little something 20 say about the
inbTOgio. ii for no reason other than hat
II does not seem 10 be unsafe 20 assume
that there is partial justification for both
arraignmcnts. and if that be true, the
little something said by the President
should be addressed to both controver-
sialists, with preference for the pre~emp-
tory Brooklyn Eagle.

sf,ort-sighted Financiering or What?

Among the appropriations made by
the Legislature at its special session, now
happily a thing Of the past, appear these
two items
Delaware State Hospital at Farnhurst
to meet the deficiency in maintaining
the same for the year -s23. SIS Co.
Delaware State Hospital, to meet the
estimated deficiency Of maintenance for
the year 1920-s36, l4133.
At it's regular session, early in the year
1919, the Legislature made appropriations
for the State Hospital at Farnhurst sup
posedlv sufficient to maintain the insti-
tuition during the ensuing two years.
Now It is shown there was deficiency in
the operations for 1919 to the extent Of
nearly S24. 900, and that the deficit this
year would have exceeded $50, 900 had
not this relief been extended The
original appropriations, therefore. were
short Of what was actually required by
more than SO, 600
Was this discrepancy due t. misln-
formation, TO a deliberate failure to make
the appropriations sufficient il tie first
place. or by financial emergencies not
anticipated when the appropriations were
made at the session Of 1919?
The latter cause. Of course. would prove
informing and enlightening. But other
wise, it would seem that explanations are
in order
