THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE in session at
Dover the ratification Of the amend
ment the National Constitution which gives to
the right suffrage and squarey places that party thru
its official district leaders, favorng the right for
all elections This is somewhat surprising,
the Democratic party Delaware has heretofore opposed
this bitterly if the members of the
legislature indicate that they desire to vote to
ratify the amendment to the Constitution, the
Governor could disregard calling special session Of
the legislature during the month of March to act
this proposition We have long believed the women had
equal rights with men, and that they well qualified
discharge duties of citizenship most of the
and far better than species of the male electorate
It requires nae States to raty the amend
ment and the will have into their own The
State of Wyoming this week ratified the amendment al
without division the of both houses of that
legislature Delaware should be of the raying States
Our worthy trust and honor, and far more
capable than the aliens of Wilmington who speak not the
language the country where they vote for officials to
regulate the property of thousands of
women who have proven their patriotism and loyalty to
the country. Are the who object to women voting
afraid to with the ballot because they will
demand honest government good educational facilities
better conditions? Women stand for what is
good they are intelligent the male. Be fair
md give them the ballot by rafyng the amendment to

There should be effort to reach square and fair

CLUB MEMBERS AS STOCK JUDGES

. II is almost as important to be able
to judge an animal accurately as it
is to raise one successfully. If per-
son does not know what constitutes
good points in an animal, he is obliged
to rely on someone else's judgment
in both buying and selling. That is
one reason why boys and girls in the
clubs supervised by the Department of
Agriculture and the State agricultural
colleges are being trained in stock
judging. At the county, State and in
terstate fairs, live stock judging con-
tests are conducted and demonstla-
tions given by club members to inter
est the public and improve the met4-
DDS used in the production and care
of live stock.
At the Missouri State fair boys ana
girls club teams judged both beef and
dany cattle. In putting on the dem
onstrations each member had his par
ticular part to do. The captain of the
team introduced one member, who gave
the history and characteristics of an
ideal beef animal and the same for

AN UNEXPECTED UPHEAVAL in the political affairs
Of Kent county has developed since the first of the
MONTH and just what the result of the resignation of
Senator James F. Alice Jr. from the Craftsmanship OF
the Kent County Committee will be- has not been devel
oped In announcing his resignation from the chairman
ship, the Senator expresses desire to be free from the
duties which the Craftsmanship will bring during political
campaign. He makes clear that he will be always
active worker far it possible for him to take part
in the affairs of the Republican party. Just
possible the County Committee will be called to consider
its future policies 1t is generally thought that the pur
pose of the resignation is that there may be harmOnzng
of the two wings of the Republican party in Kent and
especially since Alfred l. dupont has relinQushed his

that there will be difficulty in bringing the party

PERMANENT mo MANS LAND"
Sites o. Probably One Hundred VII
lagos in France Too Dangerous
to Use Again.

Fifteen villages In the Aisne dis,
trict, destroyed by war, will never be
rebuilt. There are II towns In the
Marne district which will be aban-
doned, and probably 100 In all Of
France. For many years, at least, the
Soil on which the villages stood will
not even be TILED. 1t will become a
permanent No Mans land.
According to government advices,
the sites Of these villages are too dan
gerous to be used again. In order to
avoid loss of life the government has
purchased the land on which the vii
lagos stood and will keep possession
of II until II can be made safe.
These sites are the ones often fought
over, on which the ground has been
turned over and over again, buryins
explosives Of all kinds to unknown
depths. There Is no trace Of buildings
left in the IS villages, so the refugees
faced more than the usual hardships.
They returned, however, and lived In
the worst makeshift caves and dug
outs.
Only signs maintained by the gov.
ernment will mark the sites Of the VII
lagos, warning people Of the lurking
dangers.-Stars and Stripes.

RELY TOO MUCH ON MACHINES
Writer laments the Lack Of Personal
Responsibility DiscernibIs Among
the Worlds WorkAsS

Writing in the Scientific MontAly on
the value Of handicraft in the re-edu-
cation Of wounded soldiers, Capt.
Frank A. Waugh Of the sanitary corps,
q. S. A., says:
1T Is a great defect Of modern so
ciety that II depends too much on ma
chinery. Everything we touch is ma
chine-made. The common laborer in
particular hardly ever sees or touches
anything but machine-made objects.
He begins life In a machine made 60
cart, eats canned food from a machine
made table with a stamped steel knife,
fork and spoon, dies in the hospital
In machine-made bed. Is buried with
machine-made coffin and marked
with machine-made tombstone. When
such man once makes with his own
hands good basket or leather pocket
book he begins to realize the value
Of honest craftmanship-the place Of
personal responsibility In the days
labor. This Is most fundamental
element I'm human psychology now
largely lost In q mechanical worla
where objects are made by machines,
not by men. The men only feed the
machines and are themselves con-
troled by another social machine
called labor union"

Chinese Silk Trade.

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly increased In the last
few years until at the present time
about 25 per cent Of the Chinese silk
is sent to the United States. This is
the result Of American enterprise more
than that Of the Chinese. The Japa-
nese silks had been in favor for long
time with the manufacturers Of this
country, but II was well understood
that the quality Of the Chinese was
superior, but 1t was not adapted for
use In this country because Of tho
manner in which II was woven. An
American manufacturer secured
moving picture reel showing the Japa-
nese methods of manufacture, and as
a result the Chicamen were induced to
change theirs to system to conform
with the demands Of the occidental
customers, and the industry has ac-
cordingly taken great jump.
