AN ARCHAIC DELAWARE TOWN
(From Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
January 16.)

January 16.)
Georgetown, Del, has been on the
map for more than two hundred years
and is particularly notable for the en-
inent men it has produced in State
and National affairs. A quiet old town,
looking much as it did in the eight
eenth century, it has just come into
prominence by running out of its pre-
cincts a State Board of Health officer
who came to vaccinate the citizens
because of the appearance of small
pOX. This was in defiance not only of
the laws of the State, but of the plain
dictates of the public safety. 1t is an
excellent example not only of the mob
spirit, but OF the lack of intelligence
of those whom science has benefited
Before Jenners day smallpox was
the greatest curse which confronted
mankind in civilized sections. All eX-
pected to have it, or to be bereaved by
it, and thus il became common for
those in good health to take it by CON
tact rather than run the risk of a more
serious situation. With the discoveries
of Jenner the disease has lost its hold
on civilized beings who are willing to
take precautions. Generations have
passed since the disease was so terri
Bile that its casualties were greater
than those of war.
1t is because so much time has
elapsed that this uniformed genera
tion does not know how easy it is to
escape by a vaccination nor how dead
ly are the ravages of the disease. Just
because some folks are sick from vac
cination and occasionally one has died
there has grown up among the ignor-
ant a prejudice against vaccination
which is discOuraging to friends of
humanity. Georgetown is not singular
in its opposition. The followers OF
Nietzsche would say that all who die
from the disease are well lost. If only
the ignorant Oppor of vaccination
suffered, there mignt De less objection,
but smallpox has not lost its power
when it gets an opportunity and the
innocent suffer with the guilty.
Delaware must establish vaccination
at any cost Doing good to people is
seldom appreciated, but it is one of
first laws of ethics as well as of
craftsmanship.

IT WAS AN ACCEPTED FACT that the Milford schools
were cramped for lack for the pupils already
attending and that something would have to be done.
We believe every onef the old board of school
missoners will admit that to be fact 1t also nee
essary pay salary the teachers when employed
would teach where larger salaries were paid,
we believe that they will admit that To get better
schools and accommodate all the children it neces

lay all the increased school taxes the
school laws? Milford Neck there several schools

Now they bear their proportional part to maintain
the schools With new system of assessment each part

OPINIONS FROM THE PRESS
UNDER PROHIBITION

(FrOm Philadelphia Sunday Press)
, Under the Interpretation of the Bu-
reau OF Internal Revenue the Eight
eenth Amendment is now the law OF
the land, and the Act of Congress TO
provide for the enforcement OF the
prohibition of intoxicating beverages
is now in operation.
The many and loud complaints that
we hear on every hand on account OF
this infringement of the liberty OF IN
dividuals. would give a stranger to our
land the impression that this was the
most unpopular measure ever enacted,
and that in a country governed by the
will of the majority its life must in
evitablv be short and obedience to II
very imperfect.
II is in the power of the majority, Il
# is agreed in three-fOurths of the
States. to secure the repeal OF the
Eighteenth Amendment, but there IS
no such majority to be had and the
repeal will not be seriously attempted |
unless hereafter there is decided and /
widespread change of mind on the /
subject. Obedience to it will be inn
perfect at first, but the United States
Government is able to enforce its laws
and generally does so.
After the gradual consumption OF
the large stocks of liquor on hand,
held by a comparatively few, the cOun-
try is going to be pretty dry. There
will be less sounds OF revelry by night
and Joy will be uncOnfned less fire.
uuently than formerly, but there will
also be less Of delerium tremens and
of all the other loathsome accompani- :
ments and attendant miseries of alco- :
holic excess. The general efficiency of
workers will be increased and the
happiness of families promised by the
of the fears and sorrows :
caused by the deadening and de-
nOralizing effect of excessive and fire.
luent indulgence in alcoholic bever- :
Iges.
1t is the realization of this, even by :
Moderate drinkers. that has made the
Prohibition amendment so popular :
hat three fOurths of the State Legis- :
atures ratified it within thirteen :
lonths after it passed Congress. That
Ody was so eager to sustain it that :
passed by decisive vote strong :
act five months before :
le amendment took effect.
The Supreme Court will no doubt be :
sked to say whether everything was :
one that should be done to give :
llidity to this amendment, but it re- :
Iires a sanguine temperament 10 :
lpect to overthrow prohibition in this :

nee and priyations that prohibition :
