ENLIST IN NAVY.

It would be unwise to say to every man in the country: Enlist in the Navy" It is not wise to give the same advice to every individual.
 But 1t certainly is wise to suggest that men may find just what they want in the advantages being shown by those in charge at the Navy re- cruiting station on Main street. And men should call there before Sep tember 2. if they are ex-service men.
 For it seems that there is a spledid chance for young men. and men somewhat older, in the plans that arc made for Navy recruits now. The data are given in yesterdays Herald. Those data should be considered. and steps taken if a man. knowing him. self. feels that the advantages offered will prove to be advantages when ap- piled to himself.
 The warning should be given that recruiting in the Navy should not be done in a spirit of adventure entirely. Most young men like adventure, and in the Navy they would find plenty of it combined with much hard work. But there should be more than a spirit of adventure to lead a man into service. There must be the earnest desire to profit by what one sees; There must the determination not to be influenced by ones surroundings if those surroundings are recognized to be unproftable. The latter is the case only in individual instances, for the government takes every precaution aganist making the recruits en- vironment anything but fine. But where men are grouped together. liv- ing familiarity there arc bound to be some whose language and habits and anecdotes debase not only themselves but those who listen to them without unfavorab1e comment.
 But e man would be a poor sort of a stick were he to lot such influences weigh against tho splendid experience he may gain from service in the Navy. It may sound a bit like preaching" but one must say that any man who enters the Navy determined to profit by the good that is to be found. the education visual and mental to be gained, the learning to subject oneself to discipline in proper case. and to assert ones authority in other in stances. will become rich in the strength Of life that will count. His desire must be to better the Navy Of the United States and by so doing better himself.
 The Navy wants real men and. in many cases. real men want the Navy.

Unwelcome Visitor Again Appears.

Yesterday brought the unwelcome an
nouncement of the development of case
Of smallpox AT Lewcs. The patient is boy
from Dover. and the members of the Lewes
Board Of Health say they are convinced,
after a careful investigation, that the boy
was affected at his Dover home and
brought the disease with him to the LeWes
ncirhborhood. where he had gone 10 V lsit
relatives, and where his case developed.
Also. the Lewes Board of Health i'm
mediately adopted the effective pre-
vcntive methods of isolation. proper care
and guardianship, general vaccination and
percmptory notice TO the community to be
careful in all respects. Thereby they hope
10 avert a spread Of the annoying infec-
ton.
Naturally. this item Of news will cause
much perturbation, in both Lcwes and
Dover neighborhoods, and many persons
will become alarmed. But there is no oc-
caslon for a general scare. Smallpox Is
never welcome visitor. but il is not today
the alarming afiliction it was for many
wears. Forty years ago it was virulent,
malignant and terribly fatal. No person
who caught the infection recovered IN less
than SIX weeks, and generally fully three
months was the period Of duration. And
fortunate was the patient that recovered
without the aftermath Of disGguring poek

different character. During its latest

run its course in about two weeks, while
few. If anv. deaths were reported. Medical
research and the discoveries of science ap-
parently have robbed this formerly
loathsome and terribly fatal aff1iction of
the major part of its terrors. Now 1t Is
not much moro than a nuisance and a
serious disturber Of the business. welfare
and peace Of the afflicted community.
The people Of lower Delaware, who

A QUIET SUNDAYIN NEW YORK.

When 5000 people tried to come
back to town from neighboring seasides
all at once Sunday evening, there natural
ly was more or less cQmmotion at the
transit terminals and along the lines
During the day there had been one
drowning in the Hudson River and several
rescues at the beaches Automobiles
killed one person and injured more than
a score IN and about the greater citv.
Other interesting details of quiet
Sunday In New York we CLEAN from
newspaper columns of yesterday.
1t is unnecessary to cite the common
places of the day-to mention, for in
stance, the restaurant hold-up in which
six men took over first a square meal
each and then the cash register. Other
affairs invite contempla tion-the mystery
of a visiting bank Presidents fatal
drugging and robbery; the shooting by
love-sick Needn't of his brothers wife
who would not elope with him; the
affray in a North Beach dance hall,
with its single death by bullet; the
strange case of Comedian Slayin and
his fractured skull; the fusillade of shots
accompanying a taxicdb hold-up and
yielding one wounded man in Central
Park; the pistol skirmish of gangsters
in Columbus Park, in which an intended
victim saved his life by timely fall
Doubtless there were incidents which
failed of the benefit of type. One
realizes the inevitability of an escape
here and there when items of violence
rush the press. Enough found its way

DAY.
Annie Z. Michener.

Day flashes his light across the land
Day lends hope to each cherished plan,
Day brings to us new courage, new zeal,
Whether our lives be woe or veal.
Day sends out his women and men
To labor, TO scheme, to think, and then
Day with his dollars, Of silver and gold,
Pays his children, whether timid or bold
Day places on us the burdens we bear,
Day assigns our portion of care,
Day marshals his host in army line,
Whether the day be dull or fine.
Day points TO the mountain, and bids it
move,
That Life may march in wider grove;
Day, all-powerful In his might,
Whispers sweet nothings to the night.
Day gathers his forces and scatters his
flowers
Over this wonderful world of ours5
His golden grain he gathers in
To feed the hungry CHILDREN of men.

CAN'T ACCEPT HARDING.

The G.. o. p. leaders were entirely
unprepared for the blow administered
to them by Governor Cox in his letter
of acceptance. They rather expected
him to live up to their preconeeivednotion
that he was just the ordinary type
of Ohio politician, and they will have
difficulty now in convincing clear-think-
ing Republicans that he doesn't mean
what he says A Republican reader
of The New York Times, writing to the
editor of that paper, announces his deter
minatlon to quit the Republican psrty
after 40 years allegiancs to it. He says:
Il have just finished resding Governor
Cox's acceptance speech, and on compar-
ing it with Senator Harding | am forced
to make the above statement | certainly
do admire man who comes out squarely
on all issues and does not straddle, as Sem
ator Harding has done.
This is but one convert, but there
cannot help but be many thousands like
him throughout the country.-Phile del

why Didn't II Reduce Taration1

About the only claim for good work
that the Republican party managers cah
put forth in their desperate efforts to re-
lieve the Republican Congress Of the
odium il has justly earned by the barren
results of its recent session il that it
reduced expenses" The claim is advanc-
ed that in making appropriations for the
current fiscal year it ''saved the people"
about two billions of dollars by cutting
down the department estimates to this
extent. This claim, Of course, is disputed,
but even if it shall successfully Withstand
challenge it amounts to nothing
What else could this Congress do than
reduce expenscs7 Tho war was over when II
came into existence. There was no neces-
sity for the enormous expenditures that
were necessary to conduct active war
operations. There was not the slightest
pgetext for not cutting down expenditures.
But how about the enormous war taxes2
They were no longer necessary, with active
war operations at an end. Here was field
for this Republican Congress to cultivate
with probabilities of the most welcome
results. The war taxes were borne cheer
fully when they were necessary, but the
people are not meeting them cheerfully in
this ante-war period. when they arc no
longer necessary. But did this do-nothing
Republican Congress reduce the great
burden of taxation under which it found
the people resting2 II did not.
The plain truth is that this Republican
Congress made startling record of in
efficiency. 1twas a grossly partisan body,
intent only upon putting President Viii
son in hole" and endeavoring to make
political capital for the Republican party.
But il failed in it's partisan purposes, and
made n holy show of its business in
capacity The record is now in plain view
of all the people. snd no partisan hoeus-
pocus can conceal or even modify IL. 1t is
record Of discredit, and no wonder the
partisan leaders of the Republican party
are desperately worried over the effect il
is likely to have upon the minds Of voters
at the coming election.

PRESS COMMENTS.
SHIFTING POPULATION.

Census returns are beginning TO throw
light upon the extent OF the movement
OF population from the farms to the
cities movement which has caused
considerable alarm to economist during
the last few years. They demonstrate
that the shifting Of large body Of the
people to the ccntcrs of population WAS
not n mere theory, but a fact, which
caused disarangcment OF industry,
threatened serious reduction Of the
food supply and was in large measure
responsible for the high cost Of living.
Out Of la counties in Missouri, the
census bureau has returns from 81, of
which SO show decreases Of population
IN the last ten years, while 8 show in
creases. 1t is significant that the SO
which have lost in population arc purely
agricultural counties, having few large
cities or towns within their borders and
comparatively few industries On the
other hand, the which hive gained
contain large towns or cities, and IL is
these thickly settled oenters which have
made the gain, TO offset the losses in the
rural sections and thus registered net
gains.
The losses in the So counties men
toned amount in some cases 10 as high
as 10 per cent or more, although the
average is considerably less than that.
II is, however, large enough to show the
very decided trend that has set in during
the past ten years and which, il IL con-
tinues, threatens to decrease the produc-
tivity Of the farms TO the point Of danger.
II is reported that there s a decided
improvement in this situation this sum-
mer which promises baek-to-the-farm
movement Farm labor has been avnil-
able generally, according to reports from
all the granger States. The fenr that
farmers entertained of not being able To
get sufficient help 10 harvest the crops
was not realized This doubtless was
due TO the scarcity Of work in the cities
ns compared 10 the demand for labor Of
year ago and realization on the part
of those who deserted the farms for the
cities that big wages were not so profita-
BILE in the end when the high living costs
of the city were taken into considera-
ion.--Washington Post.
