A REPUBLICAN VIEW.

The Harding argument about Article
Y is the worst nonsense of all. Article y
Is a promise which can become morally or
legally binding snly if it is indorsed in
each particular instance by the American
representative upon the council Of the
league. it is an agreement to demonstrate
beforehand the futility of an appeal to
force TO upset existing boundaries. and it is
supplemented IN Article XIX and else
where by a provision for the amieable re-
settlement Of boundaries or other factors
which are causing irritation.
Article X may be removed but the
principle which il lays down IS as essential
10 a League of Nations or association of
nations" as the principle that the citizen
may delegate to the police the right to
arrest murdercrs is essential 10 an orderly
civil community. Harding viii either have
to accept an obligation INVOLVING us in
some responsibility for the peace of the
world, defined as Article Y Is defined, or
he cannot carry cut the pledge of his
platform and his speeches to Join IN COM
mitting the moral forces of the world
America included, to peace and inter
national justice. New York Globe.

Beigium's Great Hero Dead.

Belgium's war hero, General Lehman,
is dead. He should have a monument
that would last for all time and would
tell the world that here lies a man who
saved civilization and Christianity. When
he Germans turned themselves loose for
world conquest. General Lehman was In
command of the Liege forts, almost con-
6dent> that they would hold against the
attacks OF the Hun. However, they were
reduced to debris, but the defenders
stood fast and held up the German army
until France and England had time to
rush men into action; and the Kaiser's
program to eat dinner In Paris a couple
of weeks after the first onslaught went
unfulflled.
General Lehmans brave act illustrates
the necessity of every man doing his duty
TO the fullest measure under all conditions.
When his forts were battered down by the
guns Of the Hun, instead of regiving upand
discontinuing the fight, e hung on to the
KAISER savages and halvea .heir progress
until the most critical time had passed.
Had he, on the other hand, retxeated,
which would have been the tactical thing
60 have done under the circumstances, and
for which be could not have been CEN
sured, the story of the war would un-
doubtedly have been entirely different.
Perhaps never in the whole history of
conflicts did such a tremendous stake
hang on the actions of one man. Had he
known anything else than duty, all of
Europe might have been tied to the tail
of the Kaiser's cart, while Belgium would
have been literally blotted out as ma
tion. Not only should General Lehman
have great monument to visualize his
almost miraculous achievement, but the
story of his valor, which turned the tide
of the war, should be told in every school
book.

Need of Election Relief.

Chairman Isaacs Of the Democratic
State Committee has once more appealed
10 Governor Townsend to Gala special
session of the Legislature for the pur-
pose Of making changes IN the election
law so that 1t Will be possible 10 accom-
modste the largely increased number OF
voters On election day. He accompanied
his request with pledges from number
Of Democratic members Of the Legisla-
ture 70 give consideration to no other busi-
ness. SO that the necessary work could be
completed IN one day.
It is plainly apparent that m numerous
districts there is such large registration
that it viii be hardly possible 70 receive
the votes during the hours assigned TO
voting. even should the lIne of voters form
at the opening minute and vote contnu-
ouslv until the closing hour In one Dover
district there are ] ,5S4 registrants. In
order TO receive the votes Of all these
voters, they would have to prepare and
cast their ballots at the rate Of nearly
three a minute. This is practically i'm
possible.
Unless some such arrangements are
made by the Legislature, through di-
vision of these unusually eongested dis
tricts, serious trouble may be expected on
election day Political workers WI en-
deavor TO get their party votes in, and
this is likely to cause clashes and delays,
with the result that hundreds Of men
and women may be disfranchised through
physical inability to vote within the speci-
fed time.
Everything that is necessary should
be done to make voting easy and com
Portable, and to avoid trouble caused by
crowding and confusion. Surely, Governor
Townsend should recognize the importance
of the situation. If he does not, and re-
fuses to open the door to relief measures,
be viii be held chiefly responsible in the
event of trouble on election day.

PRE- SIS COMMENTS.
PEOPLE ARE THINKING.

The mental and nervous wear and tear
Of such - campaign as this Is much great

htIrrnhs IL IL the difference between n
football match and an intellectual and
moral struggle TO choose the right path.
The physical struggle leaves the man
muacle-tlred The mental debate with
oneself leaves the individual mind and
heart tired
And yet, in spite Of the strain, this cam
paign has been worth while in putting re-
eponsibility directly up to the people and
IN forcing thom 10 do their own thinking.
And whatever the result, they cannot
place the burden upon any shoulders but
their own
We believe the realization Of this fact,
this Perception Of condition of extra
ordinary responsibility, will exert o tIe-
Inendous influence on the second of No
vamber Behind the "Old Guard" and the
old machines" there is an army of inde-
pendent voters who will AJAX but one qries-
tion OF themselves, and that question viii
be, not what is best for any party, but
what is beet for the country and the world.
These are Americas highest type of pa
triots today, and these, it is probable, will
cast the deciding votes. They stand IN the
background now, they are not counted IN
partisan meetings and straw ballots, but
they viii be heard from on election day.
They constitute an invisible army that is
overlooked by the political representations
and foreoasters.
In the two weeks still remaining this
league of p,uo patriotism will grow And
we think that the Drmocratic CAUSE has
everything 10 hope and nothing to fear
from its growth. The arguments for the
League Of Nations, which is the corner
stone Of the Democratic campaign, must
gain IN strength with the independents

Two Crops Of Berries.

A Seaford fruit grower is marketing
his second crop Of raspberries, from his
patch that yielded fne lot IN the early
summer. This everbearIng variety is
heavily loaded with fruit which finds ready
sale at 40 cents q quart. With variety
of strawberries that also yields two crops
there seems to be great opportunity ahead
for the grower Of small fruits in this State
The mild climate Of Delaware and the
Peninsula affords IN amply long season
for the two crops Of berries q year and
with the present demand for fruits for
table consumption and for soda water
fountains. the price is maintained to
point where there should be q big profit N
the cultivation of these small fruits.
Truly. the scientists are making two
berries grow where one grew before IN
such favored locations as this No doubt
the blackberry soon will be forced to yield
a double crop each season, and perhaps
some genius like MIR Burbank viii cult
vate a peach and an apple that will not
be content TO finish the season with one
yield. One need not be surprised at any
thing now since man has begun 70 dis

Our Duty to the Returning Dead.

II is a matter Of shame to the nation
and to the American people, that there is
much ground for the criticism by the
American Legion Weekly, To the effect
that our people are indifferent to the
rcinterment and final disposal OF the
bodies Of our dead who fell,on the fields
of France or Flanders in thwarting the
murderous onslaught of the Hun. or the
$4,000 young American soldiers who have
been sleeping in the soil of Belgium,
France and the Rhine country, 10000
are to be brought home, and almost n
fifth of the number have already arrived
and now are at rest in the land they SO
highly honored by their great valor on
the field of war.
Ii seems but a little while ago since
they marched away gaily under the folds
of the Stars and Stripes, and even more
recent that the news wns flashed: Paris
is saved by doughboys"-which means
disaster was averted by the bravery OF
our men; and later, not so long ago, u
seems. came word of the greatest oi
achievements of the greatest war OF aii
times, telling that the 'impregnabie' : line
of Hindenburg had been pierced by the
Yankees meaning that the German de-
fenscs had been broken, the Hun defeated,
and the world saved TO Democracy.
In view of all this accomplished, how
difficult it is to comprehend that the men
who fought and bore the brunt OF TINS
great conquest are so soon forgotten,
and when their ashes are returned, we
see that they and their deeds have passed
out of gratiful remembrance of n people too
deeplv immersed IN business to turn tor
a moment to uncover their heads IN rev.
erence TO the mortal remains of such be-
roes
In q large majority Of cases there has
been absolute Indifference to the arrfsa
or the burial of all that is left of our soidter
dead. Their fclIow-fghters of the Ameri-
can Legion. so far as possible, have Taid
homage to their comrades, but the par
ticipation Of the public or Of oifIciais-to
represent either city OF State at the final
obseu,,ies- been almost nil.
These burials present the final OPP
portunity for every lover of bravery Tor
every American who has any pride oi
country OF race, to pay his tribute OF honor
TO soldiers who fought down into the very
gates Of hell, into the jaws Of death, to
beat hack the foe Of all mankind. No other
soldiers in the history Of al wars had to
face such carnage Of death-no ssfch
bravery was every required or displayed
on battle fields in all time.
All the people of tins country, and OF
this State in particular, can do themselves
the honor Of bowing at the hier Of these
Americans who died IN the old world war

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.

Not few Republicans are showing
themselves uneasy and angry at the easy
assumption of Senator Hiram Johnson
that he has forced the Republican party
and It's candidate to come to heel. MIR.
Taft, in his Yale Review article, frankly
expressed his regret that Johnson had not
been openly fought, beaten and repudiat-
ed And the Public Ledger of philadel-
phia took up the plant the other day that
there has been "too much johnson IN
this campaign II accused the California
Senator, along with Borah. Of having put
a pistol to the head of the Republican
candidate" before conseuting 10 sup
port him. aud added: 1T is a thousand
pitics that Senator Harding, with victory
in his hands, did not defy the johnson

Dishonest. or Ignorant?

From a calm consideration of the sur
rriSing declaration made by Senator
Harding in his impromptu speech al
Cresncastle. Ind. last Saturday. dc
lverance at a time when his ANXIOUS
mentors were not at hand to put brakes
on his tongue-the only reasonable con-
clusion that can be drawn is that he is
either dishonest or ignorant. In either
event il NAV be assumed that he is not a
ft man to be entrusted with the office oil
President of the United States.
In this impromptu address Senator
Harding said Already Franco has sent
her spokesmcn to me informally, asking
America. in its new realization OF the
situation. to lead the way for an assocra-
ton Of nations
In his reply 30 President Wilson's let
ter inouiring if he was correctly quoted IN
r1c h a remarkable statement, Senator
Harding said Il am sure that my words
could not be construed 70 say that the
French government has sent anybody to
me The thought | was trying to convey
was that there had come TO me those who
spoke sentiment which they represented
10 he very manifest among the French
people. hut nothing could suggest the
French government having violated the
proprietics of international relations
ANY intelligent reader viii at once recog-
nize thslarge difference between what Sen
ator Harding said-and admits he SAID
and what he now says was 'the thought |
was trying TO convey" If he had any
idea of conveying the, thought he now puts
forward. it would have been easy enough
to make hi. delrverance IN plain and I'm
nistaksbie words to that effect.
But not 50. France has sent her
spokesman to me, informally" sand Sen
stor Harding. Can it be doubted he in
tended 70 impart an intImation, at the
vcry least, that he had been approached
by the French government through its
authorized agents? One does not refer
TO a nation when he has only an unau-
thorized individual or individuals IN view.
Senator Harding said France has sent,
and the only inference that can be drawn
from this specific statement is that he
had in view the French government.
If this was Senator Hardings intention
and the inference that it was is more
than reasonable-he is now dishonest II
endeavoring to make It appear he had IN
mind a citizen or citizens Of France who
merely spoke as such. II he really believes
his spoken words are reasonably capable
Of such a construction, he is woefully
ignorant. And he is worse than ignorant,
he is grossly stupid, if he thinks for an
instant he can deceive the intelligent
voters Of our country by such miserable
sophistry and word-iuggling.
The truth of the matter is that once
more Senator Harding ''has opened his
m outh only to put his foot IL il" He has
made blunder, serious one, that dis
plays his incapacity and unhtness for the
Presidency.
Senator Harding, by his own words
in his original statement and his amazing
IL irrelevant and insufficient explanation
has written himself down as either dis
honest or ignorant

Why should the managers of the Re
publican party oppose measures for max
ing voting easy and comfortable, especial
ly for our newly-enfranchised women,
through the enlargement of facilities for
receiving the votes? Do they expect to
make a great rush at the congested poll
ing places, in the hope of getting in the
votes of the Negroes, men and women,
and letting the white women take all
chances of disfranchisement by not being
able to vote in time? The women are
entitled to proper facilities for voting,
and it rs surprising that Republican parti-
sans insist upon denying them this right.
