HAVE ENOUGH OF SENATE RULE.

Editor Every Evening - Mr. Harding's
extremely we'll written speech OF accept
ancc gets on both sides of more than one
issue. though his attempt to conciliate
all phases of Republican sentiment touch
ing the League of Nations leaves IT
pretty plain that he would isolate this
country from the rest of the world, and
confirm it in n selfish and narrow policy
Of non-participation in the respor siblllty
for the maintenance of peace. tbs refer
ence to the protective tariff is OF a piece
with the policy he really advocates toward
the League
One significant and interesting matter
of internal government he has pretty
definitely set forth as il he thought It
might lie made an issue of almost as much
Importance as the League He, or some
BODY for him. has been thinking, like
many students of our governmental sys-
tenn, upon the future of the presidency
For good many years we have been pill
ing upon the President of the United
States a burden of responsibility that
makes him the hardest worked public
man in the world We have done this
because nowhere else in our system Is
there n man or an institution representing
the whole people The American people
like a strong man in the White House,
however little the politicians relish nomi-
mating such man for the office. Others
beside Mir Harding have seen the advan-
tage that would come of closer relation
between the President, the cabinet, and
the Houses of Congress, perhaps such 3
relation as should give US working body
composed of President, cabinet, and the
heads Of the great committees to con-
trive essential legislation in consonance
with the declaration of the popular will
upon many issues at the polls.
MIR Harding, however, would transfer
the power to represent the whole people
from the White House, not to Congress,
but to the Senate That conception OF
government smacks of Mr.. Lodge, and
we may be entirely sure that the American
people will not be persuaded to accept
any such change. They are far more
likely To declare, sooner OF later, for a
reduction of the Senate's oveTshadowing
power, and a closer alliance between the
President, his cabinet, and the House
of Representatives, IN accordance with
the tendency for two generations past IN
every free country of the world

WILLARD +. DEPUTY
FOR GOVERNOR

Editor Every Evening: As the time
for the selecting of candidates by the
two great political parties for various
State and county offices is drawing nigh,
| would like to express my views as to
the logical man to represent Delaware as
chief executive during the next foilr years.
Mr. Willard L. Deputy, timber dealer
of Laurel, n man whom we all have
learned to respect and love, is the logical
candidate for the position for many
reasons. He represents the best type of
citizenship. His moral and intellectual
capacities and veracity ale unquestion-
able. As business man he has been quite
successful Notwithstanding some heavy
financial reverses which he unfortunately
had to MASTER and l conscientiously
believe beyond the peIadventure of n
doubt that we could never find man
who could and would serve US better In
these days of reconstruction and re-
Mobilization than he.
Mr.. Deputy is very open-minded
practical gentleman, and capable OF beng
listened to. He is most affabie IN his
manner and reasonably consistent IN his
theories and policies. ! am, however,
quite sure that selfishness is as Tar from
his mind as the poles. Today Is the
psychological and logical time to have a
man as governor who knows our needs
and tenaciously persists in working, and
if necessary, fighting for them.
Politically, Mr.. Deputy is Democrat,
and. of course, it will be only by the
graces of his party that the voters of
Delaware can have an opportunity to
vote for him next fall; but if the Demo-
cratic party does name Mr.. Deputy, |
believe both Democrats and Republicans
and everybody else will receive his I'M
divided intelligent deliberations and
actions.
Permit me to say that the friends of
Mr. Deputy are urging him to seek the
nomination and that this article was not
solicited by him; therefore, this fact
justi6es me and every other good advocate
of consistent, progressive measures III
working INCREASINGLY for Mr. Deputy, both
in the primary and at the general election.

STAMMTISCH FADING
FROM LIFE OF BERLIN
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
Berlin, July 10.-A venerable Teutonic
institution, the Stammtisch, is disappear
ing. The Stammtisch was the middle
class mans club, but since the price of
beer has gone up from 30 pfennigs pint
to two marks for less than a pint, the
inducement TO gather round the oaken
board in some vaulted "keller" TO discuss
politics, art or philosophy has faded away
and the great decorative stems with the
embossed pewter lids have become mere
shelf ornaments.
Berlin Stammtiscbe were many and
various Each had it's own customs and
convivial ritual Some, where painters,
caItoonists, actors and literary men fore
gathered, were famous throughout the
German-speaking world and had been in
continuous existence for over a century.
The latest one TO go is the artists
Stammtisch at Siechens, in the Behren-
strasse, with which many famous names
are associated.
To International German, the end of
the Stammtisch means the end of Gemuth-
lichkeit, that particularly beatific state of
mind induced by good cheer and high
thinking.
