WOODROW WILSON.

As Woodrow Wilson passes out of active
politics, the Wilson of 1920 recedes and "a
completer Wilson substitutes itself in
mems minds. There have been many
phases of Wilson besides the last phase.
But for as long as anyone living can see
ahead there viii be no one accepted per-
spective on them all For he IS identified
with lurid and volcanic moment which
made respond the whole range of human
passion, from utter savagery 10 subhmest
sacrifice He himself has been like huge
crystal in a ring of fire, glitteTlng with the
hope and anguish all about him. IL was
Wilson's fate TO gather the impact of Il
universal war, and by its passions he was
lifted, and he had been thrown, as few
other men before him.
1t is an exquisitely painful subject to
think about for everyone, for at mo-
ment like this there comes a sense that
Woodrow Wilson Is just a human being
with the human right to tenderness, and
to that ultimate faith which insists that
g man is an end not a means. The
Woodrow Wilson about whom the BIZ
ographers will dispute is the man who
was to have been, and may still perhaps
be, through the influence of his ideas the
means To an ordered world. But behind
that public figure, that uncommon man,
there is common man whose lie ls
sacred and invaluable, and beyond the
reach of arg,Iment.-New Republic.

Arresting Local Bootleggers.

The Delaware dry agents Of the Federal
government are showing degree ofactiv-
itv in enforcing the Volstead law that is
commendible and now that they are
under way we hope they will keep up the
squirt until the 'bootleggers" and run
ners." and similar law defying crooks
are hailed before the United States Court.
II has been known by almost everybody
that liquor is sold here, with scanty
pretense Of secrecy, Recently, Mr..
Boyce's men have made some important
arrests and have captured much hquor,
all Of which has been duly conhscated or
spilled into the sewer.
The arrest of violators of the law IS a
rather difficult matter, one may gather
from the testimony Of the officials them
selves, for to hold them and make the
effects Of a raid fruitful, evidence must
be collected. and this is not an easy task.
1t consists Of the purchase Of the contra
bans drink itself. and its further identi-
fcation at the trial But the agents here
have shown that the apprehension OF
these lawless dealers is possible # the
effort is persisted in.
In almost all sections Of the country
there seems, according to newspaper re-
ports, 10 have been 4 special attempt to
round Up these ''bottleggers" and 1t is
evident there is & widespread violation
Of the Volstead law.
However, one by one, the ranks Of
these 'cbooze toters'' are becoming smaller
and eventually they will learn that the
laws Of the country can and will be en-
forced.
There appears, of late, from the
newspaper reports, q general movement
on the part Of the public TO insist on the
enforcement OF the law, for the people
are determined the traffic shall be stopped;
or what is of supreme Importance, the
laws of the country shall not be set aside
by comparatively small number OF
persons in the different communities,
who for the most part are not even natur-
allied citizens Of the United States.
Meantime let US hope Federal Agent
Boyce viii persist in his campaign against
Tbootleggers' until the Philadelphia ''un-
derground pipe line" and the source OF
the supply, via Baltimore, is cut off.

PRESS COMMENTS
HOW ABOUT WASTE TO COME?

Those who have followed the proceed
ings OF the Congressional committee m
vestigating the Shipping Board must have
noticed that names are rarely mentioned.
Witnesses have dwet nj great length
upon extravagance and downright waste.
They have dealt mostly IN millions and
billions. On the face of things, II always
appears that when government WAS ptir.

Men who make these disclosures are

been fought that were not criticised after

Although IL il vastly more important
to fix this fact in the public mind than 10
rave about million and billions sqttan-
dered, Congress Is at the old game Of
smrching war administration instead
of indicting n system which never can be
anything but lavish and Is almost habit
ually corrupt. The inquiry now in progress
has developed what was well known before
that war is costly, that war appeals to
the worst as well MS the best in mankind
and that if victory is 90 be Rafned the
price in everything that we va lue is To be

COMMON SENSE LABOR TALK.

AZ the luncheon Of the business Science
Club in Philadelphia, Samuel w Nauclain,
president Of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. discussing the subject Of labor
problems began his remarks with the
declaration that there IS no labor prob
lem" IL was an approach to a standard
ized topic calculated TO fix the attention
Of those gathered around the board.
Aud the epigrammatlc statements with
which he followed up the opening declara-
ton are Of kind that are calculated 20
inspire general thinking because OF the
plain oomnon-sense quality of MIR. Nau-
claims views. Here are a few OF his aphor-
inns. There ia too much talk about
handling labor-thc less handling the labor
question gets the better il viii be for all
concerned Every one, from the biggest
capitalist TO the lowest subordinate, IS
laborcr." Labor is fair and square 1t
does not want to direct, hut desires intelll-
gent direction" There is no need for
labor unions-anything in the line OF
paternalism is unnecessary and insulting.
'If every business man meets his obliga-
tions TO his customers his employees will
believe thai he will do the same by them.
"The fewer rules laid down for men to
obey the more efficient they will be"
Another Of his nnaxims and the one that
seems to sound the keynote to his system is
build men up, be friendly with them, but
do il with aithority-he boss The
Vauclain system, like all good systems,
depends upon the man behind the system.
In the saying that labor IS fair and square
Mr.. Yauclain evidently does not have IN
mind the official propGgandlst agencies
that are ever telling organized labor when
70 strike. He plainly does not class these
agencies as being labor cOntingents.-

It is unfortunate that the head Of the
home for Negro orphans at Hare's Cor
ner has been shown TO be so shockingly
recreant TO his trust and convicted of an
offense that proves him TO have been
without moral responsibility. The care
and rearing of destitute orphans of his
race was a sacred trust, and in this he
was aided by the State and by the con-
tributions of our generous citizens. That
he grossly betrayed his trust the verdict
Of the jury shows but the harm that he
has done to his race can hardly be com
puted. The public, in light Of this ex-
perience, will have lost confidence in
the Negro as an administrator or as one
who may safely be entrusted with the
care Of young girls and boys. However
unjust this estimate may be, the stand
ing Of the Negro here viii be largely
affected by the man who was picked for
this important work ard failed, and worst
Of al, failed morally

Delaware Farmers Complain.

Sussex county farmers complain they
are receiving but seventy-fivo cents
bnshel for corn, the same amount for
potatoes, and twenty cents pound for
pork. Their protest is not without reason,
for at the present price. OF fertilizers labor
and everything that goest to makingu pa
crop, the farmer is actually out Of pocket.
By way of contrast between what the
local farmers are receiving for their prod
ucts il may be noted that corn sold for
from S1lS down to $l.09 bushel and
potatoes at 1926 hundred pounds in
Philadelphia, and hogs at Sl2.75 a hun
dred in the wholesale markets Of Kansas
city last week.
1t would be interesting TO know who
gets the difference between the twelve
or thirteen cents n pound paid the
farmers for pork and the 30 or 45 cents a
pound for sausage and roasting pork, tho
Wilmington prices, and the rs cents
bushel for potatoes; nlso the price we
must pay for them here. 1t would be
worth while investigating waht ad-
vances the price of apples to five and
eight or ten cents each if bought at the cor
ner fruiterers, when equally good fruit is
left 10 rot under the trees down IN the
country.
While we. in common with other cities
of the country, are paying such exorbi-
tant prices IA quoted above, when living
costs almost bankrupts persons ofmoderate
means, the grower and producer is losing
money in furnishing food supplies, un-
less, fortunately he is near enough to the
market TO sell directly to the consumer.
II is evident that the processes OF dis
tribution must be reorganixed before the
farmers can obtain their share Of the
profit on their crops. The cost of selling
food supplies is evidently far too high.
The overhead expense must be too great
and there arc too many persons who must
be supported and who pay excessive
rentals and incidental expenses, all Of
which must come out of the purse Of the
consumers.
There must be some way 20 remedy
this condition which will bring only more
and more loss 10 the farmers Of the State,
and it might be urged upon the legisla-
turc to try to solve the problem Of mar
keting and distribution. Surely the
business is just as susceptible of develop
ment along more modern lines of cfh-
cheney as are other kinds Of trade; yet
our farmers are almost rs much at the
mercy Of about the Same disheartening
conditions they were thirty years ago.

THERE COMES A TIME
WHEN WORDS WONT DO


There comes time when wofda won't do
However fina the thoughts you eay,
They will not drive the care away
Or make the gfay clouds into blue,
Tben suffering md anguish needs
Not kindly thoughts, but kindly deeds.
There's no philosophy can soothe
The aching heart beset by gief,
Death hurts in spite Of our belief;
gueech cannot troubled waters smooth,
In such IN hour all mortals need
The comfort Of helpful deed.
A word of courage now and then
Will spur tho faltering spirit on,
Rekindle hope when hope seems gone,
But thele are times Of trial when
By real Herivce we must share
The cares that others have to bear.
True friendship then must step aside
To Prove in some substantial way
The tender thoughts it's lips would say,
Must share the burden and be tried
Until it's friends shall smile again,
Or otherwise all speech is vain.
However fair the speech may be-
II cannot tighten real distress
Nor change mans woe TO happiness,
Nor serve friends necessity;
Then true devotion swiftly speeds
To prove itself by helpful deeds

CONSULTATIONS FOR DEMOCRATS.

Some of the consultations with which
the Democrats may comfort themselves
are already coming to light. Ever since
the election there has proceeded a rapidly
increasing drop in prices, aud, whatever
the ultimate result of this, the Immediate
result is to work hardship on many. Thus
in one New York City industry alone there
are 35, 900 persons now idle, and the num-
Der of unemployed in Brooklyn is esti-
mated at 10000.
If the Democrats had won the election
THEN political opponents would have
pointed to that as the reason for the econo-
mic difficulties which are now developing
and which are going to be felt more and
more as time passes. A great many people
would have believed the charge and the
Cox administration would have been
heavily handicapped from the beginning

Restaurants May Lower Prices.

The demand that restaurants lower
their prices of food has been made by
the public in several cities, and in many
places proprietors have expressed readi-
ness to comply. In investigating one Of
the charges Of profiteering in one of the
large eastern cities few days ago, the
probers found in one Of the places that
two tomatoes, with the skins removed,
had been checked 10 patron at 81 so
and the bill paid without protest. The
Investigators also found that the restau-
rants, as rule, made a profit of from
300 10 1000 per cent, and that the public
was further imposed upon by inferior
cooking, in which cheap materials or
scraps, or leavings from previous meals
had been used or served again.
Added to this advance, the sire Of tips
recognized by the walters as worthy
gratuities, has moved up nightly and,
indeed, they have become almost inn
perative. One cannot get along well
if he does not distribute large part of
the money he may have left among the
headwaiter, the service man and the
check boy BY the time he has met the
demands Of these unctious persons he
has expended sum almost the equiva-
lent of half the dinner check Locally, we
have not yet arrived at the tax for seat
at table, but the custom is spreading
TO many cities and may find favor with
the restaurant proprietors here, as a
means of further tightening the money
burdens Of the hungry public.

He loves his hearth and seldom ventures far
Beyond his placid homestead on the hill;
Simple his wants, few his ambitions are;
His sturdy hands prepared his needs 10 all.

yields;
He carries on his task TO SOW and reap

But not the humber conquests of the plow
Yet would hail him super-knight-who

THE GREAT BLESSING.

| had a weary siege OF sickness
that called for pink and purple
pills: my humble roll lost all its
thickness when | had paid the
doctors bills. And pharmacists and
we'll trained nurses were chasing
to me up the road, and under
takers with their hearses were hang
ing round my sad abode. Now |
am feeling vastly better, the gout
and mumps have left my frame,
likewise lumbago, Group and letter,
though rheumatic still plays It's
game. No longer do lweara plaster,
there is no poultice on my form,
and I'm not scared by bleak DIS
aster. or by the ills that round
me swarm. If one has health he
is a craven to talk of grief and
trouble sore, and croak, like Ed
gar Allan's raven, such balderdash
as ''Nevermore. Health IS the
only thing that matters, beside
it other boons are vain, and men
are surely mad SIS hatters who
kick when they are free from
pain. Recovered from my indlges-
ton, and convalescent from the
itch. face my tasks without a
question, and life seems full and
sweet and rich. Yes, ugly prob
lens crowd around me, and threats
and things invade my den, but
they can't daunt me or confound
me, for / am feeling well again.
