and passsd 4 into the printed rec
ord o. senatorial pFoceedinsA. From
that hour dated Tho enterprise Of
throwing the whole subject into a
technical discussion. in order that
the public might be confused. The
plan has never changed In its OBJ
Jective, but the method has. At
the outset there WAS the careful in
sistence that there was no desire
to interfere with the principal
evolved and formalized at YER
sailles. Later, It was the form and
not the substance that professedly
inspired attack. But pretense was
futile when proposals later came
forth that clearly emasculated the
basic principle Of the whole peace
plan. II is not necessary to recall
the details of the controversy in
the senate. Senator Lodge finally
crystallixed his ideas into what
were known as the Lodge reserva-
tons, and when congress ad-
journed these reservations held the
support Of the so-called regular
Republican leaders.
From that time the processes
have been interesting. Political ex-
pediency In its truest sense dwarfed
every consideration either Of the
public interest or Of the mainten-
ance OF the honor Of q great politi-
cal party. The exclusive question
was how to avoid q rupture in the
Republican organization. The coun-
try received with interest, to say
the least. the announcement from
Chicago, where the national con-
veRtion was assembled, that a plat
form plank, dealing with the sub
ject Of world peace, had been
drawn. leaving out the Lodge res
-ervations, and yet remaining agree
able to all interests, meaning there
by, the Lodge reservationists, the
mild reservationists and the group
of Republican senators that openly
opposed the League Of Nations in
any form.

QulT0 lntO the Ioct0 OF a ue-up, but
facts and not conclusions should be
submitted. The determining form
of unprejudiced thought will do the
rest. During this process, govern
mental agencies must give a vigil

The cotton crop, through South
Carolina and Georgia along the Sea-
boara-road seems to be about two
thirds harvested. However, I noticed
several large fields white as snow and
seemed as though not a boil had
been picked. Sweet potatoes still un-
harvested and the vines black from
the deadly frost, which seemed to
be more destructive than at home, al
though it is further south.
Under existing circumstances we
dfe enjoying ourselves as well as
could be expected. On account of
the illness of our daughter we stay
with her the best part of our time,
only riding out in and around the city
for few miles drive for exercise.

tant from Plant City. 1t is a most
beautiful drive over a hard, smooth
asphalt road and the scenery on the
route is magnificent. Lakeland IS a
very lovely place, surrounded by hills
and beautiful lakes and is filled with
Northern and northwestern tourists.
The city has several magnificent
buildings, the school building and the
nice little Lutheran church, which
We're mostly admired by U.S. The pop
ulation is from the appearance of
everything around about twelve or
fifteen thousand.
The weather is still very warm

nothing happens will be ready to be-

The bottom dropped out of the

Three wool sales which were to be

fact that there was no market for
the wool at prices acceptable to the
farmers. After the sales were can

economical basis. The Milford Chron-
icle discussing the question saws:
''In the general reconstruction of bus
mess and practices of government of
nation, State and towns, there should
be an intelligent effort to bring about
practical results in charters of the
towns, as well as private business.
There is urgent need that this be
done, because of the necessity which
will be brought home to all people to
maintain the welfare of the towns. as
well as the State and Nations. Taxes
will not come down for many years
to come, and with the low prices for
grain now prevailing, this will have
very strong effect upon such towns
now under Incorporated forms of gov
emment. The peace and health of
these towns must be maintained. and
that will cost more rather than less
money in the future. Then what is
the solution Of the problem? We can
not stop all work or maintenance of
town government-that would be a
cowardly crime, and unworthy of any
set of people who would entertain
any proposition looking to that re-
suit. Then what shall be done? It
is a simple matter as to what must be
dOne-but how shall the result be ac-
complished 1t goes without contest.
that such towns as Milford must es-
tablish modern business method for
administering the affairs of the town.
The money must be expended as it
would be by individual or a practical
business operation-and not be left to
men selected at = town
meeting without regard to their fit
ness or qualifcation-not to mention
their ability to give valuable time to
doing the work necessary to get prac-
tlcal business results from expendi- !
ture of the peoples money. That is
what we have got to do, and the soon
er we get at it, the better the results
will be for all the people. This is
another plea for the people to act
for themselves. Will you act? VIII
YOU get down to practical business in
town affairs If not why not? It's
up to you, the tax payers, to Go this
work, how will you proceed? Get
action on this proposition soon."

the Dover Sentinel pertinently saws
"The farmers of Kent county have
taken the bull by the horns anC
passed resolutions requesting the pas
sage of Public Service Commission
Act for Delaware by the next Legisla-
ture. The peoples rights are being
ignored in many instances by certain
public utilities who pay little or no
tax to the State in consideration for
the valuable franchises granted them
by the people. The passage of such
an Act is not only fair to the tax paw
ers, but should be welcomed by Pub
lie Service Corporations whose busi-
ness is conducted 'on the level In
stead Of an uniformed public as to
corporate conditions, they would then
have an informed public and all the
satisfaction which would accompany
same.
But we warn you, Mr.. Farmer and
Mr.. Tax Payer, certain corporations
doing business in Delaware operate
in mysterious ways; they work while
you sleep, as it were, and they are ex-
tremely jealous of their power over
legislative bodies and high officials.
See that your bill is properly drawn.
see that it will stand the test of the
Supreme Court fo rit is sure to get
there, and see that your member of
the Legislature supports it next win

lobby hanging around the Legislature
whose prime object it is to put the
Act to sleep. They have men on their
yearly payroll whose only valra 20
them is their influence with Legisla-
lures. You have quite a task tefore

you Will least expect it. But vour
