TURNING A NEW PAGE,

A new epoch in the busines life of
Dover. as it relates to the rest Of the
State and the Peninsula, began with
that get acquainted dinner" given Lv
the wholesale merchants of Whining
ton to the business men of this sec
ticn at the Hotel Richardson on Tues
day night. 1t is impossible to esti.. ...ate
the future beneficial developments in
Dover's mercantile circle that will re-
suit from this long to be remembered
dinner. 1t is really the turning over
of new page In the business rela-
tions of local merchants with the big
wholesale houtes of Wilmington, ard
establishment Of a closer relationship
a firmer bond of friendship between
them.
This large party of Wilmington
wholesalers took the Dover business
men by surprise, even though they
were previously given to understand
what they might expect. But even
though prepared for real treat, they
had no idea the get acquainted" din
ncr would be so fruitful OF future pos
sibilities. BY getting together, clasp
ing hands in friendship, chatting over
an old-time chicken dinner, and talk
Ing business as matter OF pleasure,
the merchants Of the two cities have
established closer bond Of friendship
than could have resulted from years
Of ordinary intercourse. And such a
bond cannot help but make It's bene-
flcial influence felt in all future tran
sactions.-Delaware State News.

GREAT STORY OF A GREAT
EVENT.

II Is doubtful that a finer story.
one detailing the remarkable event
II recorded with more clearness. more
revealing expression, or more vivid
presentation was ever written than
the Associated Press story OF yester-
days notable sepulture OF the un-
known American soldier that was
printed in Every Evening and other As
sociated Press papers. The occasion, II
is true, was most inspiring, but the
writer OF this story had a duty TO per-
form in portraying the details of the
entire program as they occurred. with
no time for special word picturing.
80 that the millions who were not
there might read his lines and thus
visualize everything fully as accu-
rately and almost as thrillingly as
those who We're within sight and
sound.
And this story. written at the time
and under the pressing necessity of
making every minute count in prac-
ucai service, was as fine in express
sion and rhetoric as many of the
most finished productions. And IL
gave to the people the complete story
OF probably the most amazing and
most notable public ceremonial ever
held in our country.
The writer OF this truly great story
was Mr.. kirke l. Simpson, a member
OF the Washington staff of the AS
sociated Press since 1913. His name
has not been historic heretofore. but
1t will be hereafter.

decided to strike rather than submit
to the Introduction OF piecework in
stead OF week work and the forty mine
hour week instead Of week OF forty
four hours. Only 1872 voted against
the strike.
To those unacquaintcd with the de-
tails OF the situation 1t seems amax-
Ing that such large number OF
workers should resist an arrangement
for piece work instead OF work by the
week at stated wages. 1t il con-
ceded that by piece work, where con-
ditions warrant its Introduction, each
worker earns whatever his skill and
industry are worth, while droncs suf-

There may be other elements that in

and correct public estimate OF the
movement. For these times are not

WHERE CHURCHES FAILED.

In letter written TO his friend
John Stewart Bryan OF Richmond, Va.
Senator Carter Glass OF that State
declared that in his opinion the world
would have.been practically disarmed
by this time had our country entered
the League of Nations. II would have
been far better. he said. to have gone
into the League OF Nations by the
front door rather than to be waiting
In the woodshed in the back yard. He
also commented that no matter how
much the American Legion may de-
plcre the utterance Of Ambassador
Harvey to the effect that this coun-
try entered the war to save itself. the
sentiment Of this accursed ambassa-
dor" is accepted by the recent treaty
with Germany sanctioned by the
Harding administration.

ian churches OF the country very con-
sidcrabiS to blame for the failure of
our country to become a leading men,

"The better times for which

village banker who gave this

every sign and token, this safest

words We're spoken that made
me young again. While other
people may be driven to tramp

less loon may think one swallow
makes a summer. and whoop
around too soon; how different
the village banker! he backs no
empty boom; he Is more apt to
see the canker than mark the
gaudy bloom. So when he says
good times are coming. feel
that they'll arrive. and take my
Tyre and do more drumming
than any bard alive. The bank
er's done q lot OF doping. and
weighed the pros and cons. and
says the night In which we're

THE DEMocRArrC REVIVAL.

year ago the Republican manag-
ers were confident that New York
had become Republican city, and
they had the enrolment figures to
prove their Claim.
New York was undoubtedly a Re-
publican city In 1920. but In spite OF
the enrolment 1t In not Republican
city In 1921. Diminishing Ma.rr Hy-
lan's unprecedented plurality. which
was due to various causes. Townsend
Scudder, the Democratic candidate for
Judge OF the Court df Appeals, had a
plurality within the greater city OF
261.s7b. No aggressive campaign was
made In his behalf. Many Democratic
lawyers supported his Republican on
ponent and there is nothing TO indi-
cate that Mr.. Scudder received any
organization Rcpubli, an votes. His
plurality may be accepted, therefore.
as the Democratic plurality In New
York City In Tuesdays election.
This is not an isolated instance OF
the swing OF the political pendulum
away from the Republican majorities
OF 1920 Not only did the Democrats
gain nineteen seats In the Assembly
but they elected n mayor In Albany
for the first time in t~enty-two years.
and Albany Is popularity regarded as
the private political property OF Will
liam Barnes. In Syracuse, which Is
Governor Miller's home town, they
elected a Mayor for the first time In
twenty years. George II. Lunn was
again elected mayor OF Schenectady.
and most upstate towns showed an
increased Democratic vote as COM
pared with the Republican vote.
The Democratic swing in municipal
elections extended from. bridgeport
Conn.,. to Ohio and Indiana. Even Mr..
Harding's town OF Marion chose a
Democratic mayor. Too much might
be inferred In partisan way from the
results OF city campaigns II It were
not for the remarkable Democratic,
revival i'm Maryland and Kentucky,
In Virginia, where there were strong
Republican hopes of electing gov
ernor on white mans ticket" tho
Democratic candidate had an enor-
nous majority. II was hinted at the
time OF President Harding's Birming
ham speech on the negro question
that his real object was to influence
the Virginia campaign. II that ba true
the speech was a dismal failure.
From Washington come reports :
that the Democrats there regard the
results OF Tuesdays election ms the
iorerunner OF a great Democratic
victory In 1922. This Is easily pos.l-
ble. The Republican majorities in
1920 were abnormal and IT,, reaction
from them was Inevitable. Tut II n al
