WHO Is TO BLAMEt

Editor Every Evening: Should a
Wilmington motorist and taxpayer
park his car for more than an hour al
any place he would promptly he hailed
into court and fined from five TO ten
dollars, which would go to swell the
treasury of the gang of politicians
running the elaborated system
known as the city government.
But for a Connecticut owner to
park his car for several weeks on the
Park Drive, at Adams street, and live
in il with his family That is
a different thing.
In the Brandywine bathhouse is
set of rules as follows:
The hours of this pool are from a.
m. to IL, noon; to 5, and to D. m.
Bathers are to stay in no longer
than so minutes, etc.
The attendants arrive at any time
between 9.15 and 10 a. M. 20 and
2. 80 and 10 and 7.30 p. M, and they
get paid by taxes collected OFF the
people who may not use the pool. and
there is usually a crowd every after
noon who stay in all afternoon.
And / almost forgot to say that the
attendants usually close the pool at
any time they feel like.
The people pay taxes to have the
city lighted up-but-
There are no lights On the Park
Drive between West and Market
streets.
On the walk between Bancroft's and
the b. & o. railroad bridge there are
no lights and the sockets are in a
state If dilapidation
The absence of the lights make it
inconvenient for people who work at
night in Bancroft's and Jessup &
Moores and who use the walk to so
home.
People pay paving tax" and Adams
street is of "cobblestone and weeds
and wawaset street is dirt with few
cinders.

HIDES. OIL AND TARIFF BILL.

When the house of Representatives.
taking the advice Of President Hard
ing. refused 10 follow the ways and
means committee and put duty on
oil. il acted wisely.
The administration is encouraging
American capital to interest itself in
foreign fields. II is most desirable
that this should be done, and a duty
would not oe conducive to such en-
terprise We use all the oil that we
can possibly produce in this country. 1t
is essential to the navy. Steamships
are fitted as oil burners. The growth
Of the automobile industry demands
more and more gasoline constantly
There is a difference of opinion con-
corning the life of our own wells. In
any event. we are obliged to bring in
whatever oil We can, and il becomes
necessary, therefore, that Americans
should invest in fields wherever oppor-
tunity offers. So the House has done
wei to put the product on the free
list.
But it hasn't done well to clap a duty
on hides. The country is short on
hides of its own. Forty five per cent
are imported. Nothing is to be gain
ed by raising the rates on these impor-
tations. The public would not benefit.
Retail prices. already outrageously
high, would be further increased. 1t
is mistake-a grievous blunder-to
levy duties.
However, the Tariff bill is only in a
formative stage after all. The real
work will be done in the finance COM
mittee Of the Senate. There all the
crudities and the inequalities can and
doubtless will be ironed out.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

For many years some of our Chris

Jesus day many of the priests In the

street" the chap who never takes the
trouble to go to church. On many days
Jesus had thousands before him. while
the priests in the temple had only

attracted the attention of the crowd.
How many of the churches In
America are usually only from nan

majority of them, we venture. Yet
there are enough people in America
to fill all churches ten times over.
Why are they not filled? There are
e,any reasons. but the main one, we
believe. is that many of them still
believe that 1t is vulgar to adver-
tise. They seem to be ashamed OF
their great message. But Jesus was
never ashamed.

SAVINGS AND HOUSING.

A spirited debate will be the result
of Secretary Hoovers suggestion that
steps be taken TO divert into home
building larger proportion Of the
country's savings deposits-estimated
at s22. .00O. 900 o00--than IL now utilized
or that purpose. According 10 his com
putation. the custodians Of this money
do not nov invest more than 10 or Is
rcr cent Of Il IN housing and he would
have the Federal Reserve law amend
ed so that. this percentage would be in
creased. And So that 40 or 90 percent Of
the postal deposits he used TO alleviate
the shortage. Part of the debate will of
course. run along familiar lines. The
custodians will say that they are held
responsible FOR what becomes of the
money they hold in trust, and that IL
will be unfair to hold them to such ac-
countability il they must part with
much Of IL under legal compulsion.
1t Is another case of safety first.
The national shortage complained OF
approximatcs / 500 000. houses and re-
lief can come according to the Sec
rotary. from no other source. because
OF the tendency Of the savings of the
people to find their way into bonds
and similar securities rather than
into home building. All that is worth
debating in his suggestion is whether
what is prescribed by law shall be
sound and place in jeopardy neither

SENATE AWAITS BONUS
VIEWS FROM HARDING
President Believed to FAVOR
Legislation.

WASHINGTON. July "A statement
from President Harding regarding the
proposed soldiers bonus legislation is ex-
pected soon by Senate leaders.
Belief was expressed to-day that the
President would advocate passage Of the
legislation. which he discussed recently
with Senator McCumber IN. d.. in
charge Of the bill, and other Senate
leaders.
AS the McCumber bill would not au-
thorize any payments to former service
men until 1922, II was believed probable
that action might be deferred for few
weeks. in view of negotiations for tenn
porary suspension of Senate business
while committee work on the tariff bill
proceeds. The recess plan probably will
be presented next week.
