Slump in Building Operations.

The report Of Building Inspector
Preston for August revealed a very con-
siderable and disturbing falling off in
building operations in Wilmington by
comparison with the report for August,
1919. Then the inspector issued per-
mits for building operations to the value
of 1896, ,562: this year the permits issued
during August covered valuation of
only Sl37 ,d77. This is a tremendous
slump.
The reason assigned for this unfavor-
able showing is two-fold High wages and
high pricesfor all kinds Of building opera
tions These two clements Of the tua-
tion combine TO make investors cautious
about putting money into building opera
tions
1t seems surprising that the insistent
demand for dwellings fails to incite
activity in this kind of building, but so IT
is. 1t is claimed that the excessive cost
would nccessitate excessive rents, which
the general run of renters would not be
able to pay This, Of course, would render
building operations Of this character un-
profitable.
How different this situation from that
of half-century ago in this city, when
local builders kept the supply Of dwellings
in advance of the demand. and found coed
profit in erecting houses for families to
live in at rentals of from SO to $25 per
month To many renters Of today the
reference to such situation in this city
seems like a fairy tale But such was the
condition at one time. and il would be
mighty good thing for Wilmington if
anything approximating II could he
brought about in these strenuous times

CHOOSING HUSBAND AND WIFE,

A class of summer students at the Ohio
State University, responding to question
nalre, undertook 10 state what they regard
as the essential qualities of husband or a
wife The qualities were classified as physi-
CAL mental and moral and, having been
named, were to be graded as absolutely es-
sential, highly valued, moderately valued,
slightly valued and indifferently regarded.
A review of the replies showed that by
both men and women fundamental virtues
far outshone social accomplishments.
Among the physical qualifications classed
as essential were: sameness of race, sound
family stock, good health and good
figure. Affection, intelligence and>eslre fot
and love of children were agreed upon as
the most essential mental traits. Among
moral traits, the choice of absolute es-
sentials fell on sincerity, honesty, fair
mindedness, truthfulness and wholesome
ness in thought and action.
COmradeshlp was regarded as an es-
sential by the women, but was only mod
erately valued by the men, who ranked
good housekeeping and ability to care for
and train children as absolute essentials IN
a wife. The, women thought a business
man was to be preferred To a professional
and were agreed that wife ought to bc
capable of self-support, Health was
thought more important than wealth and
character more than fame
How far were these choices convention
ail To what extent will they guide those
who made them in the selection of life

to them, will they act with the wisdom

PRESS COMMENTS.
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.


When ore reads .the tondcr recital
OF the Japanese officer, written in the
cabin of q submarine Of his ration That
was sunk through accident, with the ro-
suit that all on board died Of suffocation,
and secs In that recital the devotion Of
the man 80 his duty and to his emperor,
and perilses the high sentiments of satis-
faction that he, at least, might thus d.e
IN the line of his duty, hc can measurably
realize something Of the feelir rs Of the
men 1mmured in the American SD. The
recital Of the japanese officer is under
glass IN the Congressional Library; the
story Of their experiences by the men who
were snatched from death literally by
hair, will find adequate recital Only after
they have had time to recall the awful
darkness and the creep Of death that was
their environment and experience during
thirty-five hours Of mmuroment IN the
submarine that had become disabled.
Against the background OF this awful
experience is placed the thrilling rescue,
the heroic work Of the steamer General
Goethals that passed . cable about the
stricken little ship and held It up stern

themselves seainen drilled holes into the
submarine that they might pass 70 the
imprisoned men pure air for that which had

Partisanship VS.. History.

State Senator John M. Walker, who is a
candidate for denomination by the grace
of the Republican voters Of bis district
made an address at Republican meeting,
at Richardson Park, last Friday night.
By the Morning News, Republican
paper, he is quoted ms saying: ''The
slogan this year said that the Democratic
party means 'Pleace, Progress and Pres
perity.' There is no peace and there
never is prosperity under a Democratic
administration.
Senator Walker is a man Of coed edu-
cation and more than ordinary intelli-
genee, and therefore should be fairly well
acquainted with the history Of his country.
Also he should feel the Importance Of
speaking correctly in matters that per-
tain to that history.
Democratic national administrations
were in control Of the government of our
country almt st continuously frcm the
year 1901 TO the year 1861. The only
actual breaks were 1925 to 1929, under
she administration Of John Quincy Adams;
1871 to 1915, under the administration of
William Henry Harrison and John Tyler,
and then only partial interruption;
and ais, from 1s4o to 1853, under the
administration cf Zachary Taylor and
Millard Fillmore.
During the most of this period, with
the country under Democratic national
administration the greater part.of the
wonderfully, especially duringthe decade
of 1S50-lS60. There was a severe panic
in the years 1S37-S-o. under the admins
tration of President Martin Van Buren,
and il materially aided in bringing defeat
upon the Democratic party at the election
of 1910 And peace prevailed a large part
Of the time
During the first administration Of
President Cleveland, 1sS4-5. the country
was sncly prosperous. His second adj
ministration, 1897, was marked by a
brief, but severe panic, the direct result of
the silver imitation legislation Of previous
Republican administrations, but this
panic gave way to prosperity before the
end of Mr.. Clcv6land's term. And never
was ~ country more prosperous, or
labor better paid, than under the admin
istration of President Wilson.
As 10 panics and industrial depression.
the fercest and longest inhiction was the
panic Of 1899, six years Of woe and
destitution. under Republican admins
trations, these Of Presidents Grant and
Hayes, And panic that caused much
suffering and less occurred under another
Republican administration, that of Presi-
dent Roosevelt
These arc the plain. uncontested facts
Of history. Panics arc no respectors Of
political parties nor is prosperity their
exclusive possession.

LABOR CONTRACTS.

so long as the sanctity OF n labor CON
tract is not recognized by all parties 10
II, there Is no possibility OF avoiding
strikes, lockouts and the waste and ex-
pense involved in industrial conflicts.
Arbitration as a means for granting JUS
tice to employer and employe becomes
futile If the parties i'm dispute refuse TO
abide by the judgment OF the arbitrators.
II viii not do 10 excuse refusal to ae-
cept arbitration awards upon the ground
that the organizations of employers and
workmen are unable To control the ac-
tion of their individual members. Some
means must be found for enforcing obedi-
ence TO the awards or the principle u
collective bargaining will fail.

On the other hand, it IS charged that
the bituminous coal operators of Ala
bama are not conforming in good faith
to the award Of the bituminous coal com
mission made last March and that min
ers are not being paid in accordance
with that award. As a result strike
has been ordered in that field President
Wilson should assign some competent
agent at once TO investigate the situa-
ton in Alabama and ascertain whether
the operators are cheating the miners,
as charged. Ii they are, they deserve the
same public condemnation as miners
who do not keep faith in arbitration pro-
ccedings. Washington Post.

Few Women Expected TO Vote.

A member of the local Beard of Regis
tration is quoted as stating that he does
not believe more than per cent Of the
women who are to be made eligible fer
tie ballot at the coming election will
exercise that privilege in November He
finds and he doubtless IS in a coed posi-
ton to accurately diagnose the attitude
of local women toward the exercise Of the
elective franchise that women as q rule
are entirely Indifferent about the matter.
The count Of the ballots cast early in
the spring in the municipal elections at
Middletown. Newark, Rehoboth Beach,
Townsend and Wyoming bear out the
prediction referred to. In none Of tEC Sc
towns did the woman poll ether than a
very small per centage Of Their electoral
strength. In one Of the larger towns Of the
group only eight wcmen went 10 the
polls. while the largest number of women
votes recorded was about 100, which were
cast at a municipal election following an
active canvass in Dover
Unless a larger percentage of cur newly
enfranchised voters become registered and
cast their ballots in November, they will
have little effect upon the result. 1t is
estimated that there are G0,0C0 women
eligible to vote in Delaware. and with but
4 per cent of these going TO the polls they
will add only about 2,500 to the tally.

Keen Your Liberty Bonds.

For some time quotations for Liberty
Bonds were decidedly low, too much below

say unwisely. as there is good financial
authority for regarding them as excellent
investments.

recently there has been noted an in
