Wrong Kind of Ameicanism.

The entire country has been con
siderably excit4d over the summary ac-
ton oi the New York State Assembly 10
refusing to seat FIVE Socialists elected TO
membership from New YORK City, be-
cause the platform on which they stood
was not considered satisfactory to tho Re-
publican majority. An uproar followed,
and efforts are being made to have the
action rescindcd,
Such a summary repudiation Of So
clalism will not be accepted generally
as III accord with the free Institutions
of our country or the essence Of our popu-
lar form Of government. Socialism, Of it,
SELF. is not treason. 1T cannot be said to
even remotely threaten the destruction of
our free institutions, although if III power
it might seriously impair them. But tie
Socialist party, as long as il docs not be-
come radically revolutionary, after the
manner Of Bolsheyism, is not regarded as
political institution that should be
arbitrarily suppressed The action Of the
Republican Assemblymen Of New York

WORLDS GREATEST STACKER.

While Russia Starves under the dis
organization oF industry and produc-
tive forces, brought about by the Boil
sheviki. the worst of it is that not only
Russia, tut q large part OF Europe is
suffering from food shortage because Of
the inadequate production Of food Ii
Russia.
Before the war Russia was food ex-
porting country. other European coun-
tries drawing heavily upon the czar's
empire for raw food supplies, particularly
wheat and other grains. The average
gram crop Of Russia N the five years pre-
ccding the war was , Q7l 900. 600 bushels,
OF which SO 600. OO0tUshels were available
for export
In 1919, instead Of having an exporta-
bic surplus Of grain, Russia had an esti-
mated deficit OF 68S, 900, 600 bushels, re-
ducing millions Of her own people 70
starvation ratlons.
The msiority Of the larger countries
IN Europe have not been accustomed 70
supplying their own needs IN gram, hence
the failure of Russia 10 produce normal
crops has much to do with putting the
rest Of Europe on short bread ratlons.
This Is one explanation Of the deep
interest in Europe in the Russian stu
ton and the keen desire of responsible
statesmen and commercial leaders to see
Russia restored to normal producing
basis Under present conditions, the great
European granary is closed Houston

The Rebellion at Georgetown.

Quite astounding was the news that
came out of Georgetown, Sussex county,
Tuesday night. An officer of the State
government, sworn to perform his duty,
was taken in hand by a mob, and by
threat of violence compelled to depart
from the community. He was placed IN
an automobile provided for the occasion
and deported to Milford, where he found
safety during the night
These proceedings, participated IN by
about three hundred lawless citizens,
were directed against c. IL. Wells,
special officer of the State Board of Health,
who had been sent to Georgetown to en-
force the regulations of the board IN re-
snect of vaccination Smallpox has been
rampant in Sussex county for several
months. and the State Board OF Health
had entered upon campaign OF compui-
sory vaccination. Many persons resisted
and warrants we're sworn out Tor their
arrest. But while magistrates issued the
warrants, all constables and other local
officials seemed TO have mystenously DIS
anneared and none could be found TO serve
the papers. Then the mob stepped IN,
called the special agent Of the State Board
of Health from his hotel, and forcibiy dc
ported him.
ComDulsory vaccination is not popular,
and those who object to IT have warrant
for their objection. But there are legal
methods of resisting the operation oi TINS
and kindred regulations, and mob violence
il not one Of them. The law provides
ample methods for redress for those VINO
feel aggrieved, and there are plenty o.
LAWYERS in Georgetown That mob law
should have been permitted to prevail -
a sad reflection upon the hitherto high
reputation Of that community for peace
and order.
1t will be incumbent upon Governor
Townsend to sec that the law Is vindicat-
cd. and that the Georgetown rebels are
brought to their senses. The rule Of the
mob Is not to be countenanced in this
State.

RECOGNITION EXTENDED.

Editor Every Evening: ! think there
has not been sufficient public recognition
Of certain novelty recently introduced
into its service by the Traction Co Then
tho trolley service Ia resumed in the
morning, there are despatched from the
carbarn at the Il. &, O. station, and dis
tributed over its various lines, thirty or
forty, perhaps fifty or sixty cars of the
regulation hat-wheel type, which the
company has adopted as its standard car.
They come down Delaware avenue at
about one minute intervals. Manned by
its vigorous motorrnen, who fear no
speed restrictions and who bang their
alarm bells joyously at every corner,
these cars perform the every useful ser
vice of awakening the dwelers IN the
houses en- route somewhere between :
and Is O'Clock in the morning. The
standard car has from one 10 four fiat
surfaces on it's wheels and is sufficiently
noisy tn awaken all but the most per-
sistent sieepers.
To meet the requirements Of those
whom the standard fiat-whcel type will
not awaken the novelty mentioned above

the octagon wheels In the standard
type. the periphery OF the wheel IS a
continuous curve, interrupted by only
one or two fats. In the new car, the CIR
ctlrnference Of each wheel Is composed Of
eight straight or fat surfaces, a simple
octagon, in fact As the ordinary car
with from one 10 four fats travels, it
strikes from one 10 four rcsonnding blows

PLUCK

When things are running crosswisc and
the engines out OF gear,
When the road is rough and rocky and
the sky is far from clear.
When you're plainly up against 1t ana
you re surely out Of luck,
That's the time TO use your courage and
to show your stock of pluck.
Most anyone can travel on a road that
smooth and clear,
And anyone can get there If he only has
to steer,
But when the motors balky and you're
running in the muck,
II your re ever going to get there you
must call upon your pluck.
There's no thrill in easy sailing when the
skies are clear and blue,
There's no Joy IN merely dong things
which anyone can do,
But there is some satisfaction that ls
mighty sweet TO take
When you reach a destination that you
thought you'd never make.
So when everything's against you and
your plans are going wrong,
Just face the situation and keep moving
right along
Don't sit down and wall and whimper,
even though you may be stuck,
You're not absolutely helpless If you
still possess your pluck.

CHARGING TT TO THE PUBLIC.

That ready-madc theory of the retail
meat sellers that the buying public is re-
sponsible forthe continuation of high prices
for beef and pork, because the fastidious
consumers will take nothing but choice
cuts and fancy quality, never has been con-
yincing, because IL never has been in
accord with the facts of general observa-
tion And when the president Of tho
American Wooden Co, uses this same dis
credited theory to explain why the prices
Of wooden clothes arc maintained at such
sky limit reaches, tho theory looks moth
eaten as soon rs the scarchlight is turned
on 70 II.
The public always did prefer corn.fed
steer to fiftccn-ycar-old dairy COW. but
what the consuming public docs righteous
~ object to is the pricing nf ancient dairy
cow, upper cut, under cut lion cut or what
not, rs choice. stall-fed beef Quality
of meats has featured less in fixing retail
prices during and since the war than ever
before in history There has doubtless
been some considerable kicking about the
relative cost and quality Of meats and
there has been a reason.
And when clothnaker attempts to
explain the cxorbitant cost Of clothes hy
saving that men S clothes arc high because
the purchasers Of sutS demand the highest
grade Of woolens and will take no Others,
he should know and the public certainly
knows that suit Cf coarse wool IA rlc
which in 1913 could be bought for S12
now costs around $40, and that the $50
suit Of soft, fine wooden, as in the ante
bcllum time, now costs anywhere from 500

coarser woolens thsn ever before in his
lifetime, but is paying more than double
the cost Of the finer grade Of his before

PRESS COMMENT.
CAMPAIGN CHEST IN COURT.

Money-bags aspiring to seats in Con-
gress by lavish and evasive expenditures.
the laws of the United States notwith-
standing, will find cold comfort in the
decision of Judge Sessions of the United
States Federal Court at Grand Rapids,
over-rIling the demurrer of counsel for
Senator Newbcrry and others under
indictment in Michigan for violation of
the Corrupt practices act.
Although Mr.. Newberry's lawyers set
up the plea, in effect, that all national
regulation of elections is unconstitutional
and void, they apply this argument par
tlcularly to primary elections, which
they held to be beyond the scope of exist
ing statutes. II was at the primary that
much of the money used In Mr.. New
berry's behalf was expended, and it was
on the vital connection between the prI-
mary and the election that Judge Sessions
was most emphatic in his ruling.
To say that money-bags, forbidden to
purchase an election, may buy primary
nomination which may be equivalent
to an election Is To PROFOUND an absurdlty
In most of the Southern States the pri-
mary amounts to an election. That IS
where the contest is made, the election
in most cases being nothing more than a
ratification. The same thing is substantl-
ally true In Northern States where the
control of ono party is unvary1ng.
Judge Sessions put the matter bluntly
when he said that if the conditions upheld
by Senator Newberrys counsel were to
prevail, the hopes of every man for
political prefcrment "nrtist be measured
by the size of his pocket-book" At a
time when our whole scheme of govern
mcnt is under attack by clements that
emphasize only its errors and abuses, II IS
reassurIng TO have the law upheld with
so much vigor end clarity.-New York
