A LAUGH ON THE LEAGUE

TT would be joke to make the gods of
= Olympus laugh themselves into hys-
terics if the league of nations should be
called upon AMI requested to pay for
the damages inflicted by the Poles IN
Upper Silesia. The GERMANIA, a
Berlin publication, calls attention to
the fact that under Article 88, annex'3,
the interallied commission alone is re-
sponsible for peace and order in Upper
Silesia. Therefore it alleges the re-
sponsibility for the murder, arson, pill
age, terrorism, mine flooding, and dam
age to agriculture rests on the shoul
ders of the Allies and if they pass the
buck to Warsaw, either Poland must be
held responsible, or the league Of ma
tions for it's cowardly shlrking of the
Silesian question. Annex of Article
80 provides: 1.-The commission will
maintain order with the help of the
troops which will be at its disposal, and,
to the extent whichit may deem neces'
sary, by means of gendarmerie re-
cruited among the inhabitants of the
country" Evidently someone is re
sponsible, for there has been no sem
blance of order in that vicinity since thu
plebiscite was taken which resulted
favorably to Germany. But German!
should understand that most OF tn
leagues funds 60 for salaries and up
keep, and there is nothing available t
pay damages.

WOMEN FINANClERS.

Our women are making tine pros-
ress in the realm Of high finance. The
fact that banks run by and for women
have not thus far indicated consplcu-
Gus snccess is no warrant for question
ing the capacity Of the sex. When they
work side by side with men they are
Rs alert and capable, and they are
quite equal to shouldering RESPONSE
bilities as they come. There are
banks in Chicago and New York that
each have more than 500 women on
the regular working staff. 1t Is ad-
mitted that within a few years women
will be occupying executive positions
In the world of finance, says Los An
geles Times. They may be presidents
Of railroads and banks. They Will
gain this recognition not through cor
porations of women, but through COM
petition with men. They seem to De
more successful by reason Of their as
sociation with or rivalry of the mas
c11line mind than when in a field
wholly their own.

MIDDLRTOWN, DEL. JUNE 18th, 1921
POLITICS ON THE BENCH

TT is openly charged, and generally be-
l lieved, that politics, not of very
high order either, is at the bottom OF
this proposed retirement Of Senator
Wolcott from the U. S. Senate and his
appointment by Governor Denney to
the supreme Bench of this State.
Our state has hitherto had the envl-
able distinction of having kept its
judiciary scrupulously clean, and wholly
aloof from politics, jealousy guarded
bv the Bar and the people from any
thing that would besmirch its unsullied
ermine, and this attempted breach OF
that old and honored policy is generally
throughout the state regarded with
deep disfavor by the citizens.
Chancellor Curtis after twelve years
of highly efficient service should not be
thus displaced and his valuable experl-
ence and learning lost to his state.
Seventy five per cent. of the mem
bers of the New Castle County Bal
have petitioned the Governor to reap
point Chancellor Curtis. and it is to be
hoped that the Governor in the inter
ests of an unblemished State Judiciary
will reverse his action. Moreover, II
a sound public policy did not dictate
such course, the best interests of thu
Republican party in this state, its goo(
name and future harmony in its ranks
most certainly do demand that tn
Governor thus retrieve his blunder.

Pessimists who are complaining that
more garages are being built than
homes, and lamentfng the day the
world went awheel, will have some
thing more to charge to the motor
car if they accept the indictment OF
the London Times that the speed
wagon is killing off the flowers and
gardens The theory is that the rapid
motion of the tires pulverizes the dust
Of the highway or street into such
fine particles that when they settle
upon flowers and plants they choke
the leaves, prevent the plants from
breathing, and they wither and die.
This is in addition to the charge that
>iling the roads kills off vegetation
alongside. The old-time dust On the
horse-used roads was, it is argued,
chemically beneficial and relatively
large compared to the fine spray IN
the clouds raised by automobiles.

he looked rather worried and trou-
bled.
Whats the matter?" A sharp thrill
of pleasure went through her. Per
haps he had speculated, lost his money
in Wall street, or on the curb. So
many people did, she had been told.
Louis would be poor and she would
darn his socks and get his meals, and
they'd live in the old fiat and keep
the cozy red plush furniture. Louis
had been talking lately Of moving to
better quarters.
He took her hands in his. Its 60
ing to be hard on you," he said.
"Oh, no." she answered, trying to
repress the exultant note in her voice,
"I'n be glad"
She was about to tell him how op-
pressive the riches had been, how
they had almost suffocated her. How
much happier she would be to have
to save money, rather than try to
spend it for Louis sake, to make him
feel she enjoyed it.
"Wifey," he said finally, "they want
L1AC " LOuL IuLOpC' II SACoL.SAoASSs
There's big money in it, and the boys
all want to go with me. Do you sup
pose, wifey, know you're awful sea-
sick, and poor traveller" His
face looked worried. "But do you
suppose you could stand the seasick-
ness and all, for I'd be so lone
some leaving you home? They want
me so much-and they know I
wouldn't want to go without you
that they're going to pay your ex-
penses and make that little Christ
mas present for you'll"
She gave look at the beloved red
plush furniture. Would there never
be any rest from prosperity? Her fate
was sealed.
''I guess I could stand it, Louis" !"
she said bravely. But in her heart
there was hopelessness. Money, Eu-
rope, riches and more riches, limou-
sine future and street car SOUL And
Christmas present Of such trip |
And she, alas, would have so much
preferred q street car ride and q
sewing basket from the boys such as
they had given her that first Christmas
after she had married Louis, when
they hadn't been rich!

what is the matter? Won't they fit
you? Is the size so important?''
"My darling little girl" he laughed,
"what does it matter what the size
is. That is-it does matter about
wearing them I'm afraid, my love. But
to think you thought of me even
when you were getting the wedding
fneries and remembered the name of
the collar.
They're my Christmas collars" he
exclaimed, land I'll put them away
In the box with the Christmas bouquet
we're going to save. Such a Christ
mas gift from dear little bride
should never be mangled by any
laundry!"
'What a silly am" she laughed
gaily.
"But such an adorable silly"
George answered as he kissed her.
