OUR DEAD, KNOWN 4 UNKNOWN

That the bodies OF men who served
the United States in France and who
have died In hospitals under the ssS
peryision OF the Public Health Ser
vice have been treated with gross
indignity has been established as a
fact. The officials who by their neglect
of elementary precautions are re-
sponsible for this should be disci-
plined. Unless public opinion Is lag
gard where II should be alert they
will be punished. And In the future
the respect their honorable service
requires should be paid 10 the bodies
OF these dead.
The New York Herald believes this
can best be done by establishing
national cemeteries in which the
bodies OF men whose kinsfolk cannot
care for them may rest. The national
cemeteries already established might
be utilized for this purpose Lots IN
civilian cemeteries might be bought
The bodies TO be inferred will be com
paratively few ia number In Gods

UNCHANGEABLE LIFE.
BY Edgar A. Guest

Life play no favorites,
The great and low
Alike with grief she hits
Beneath her blow
Coward and brave must vince
Subject and hauty prime
To her are one;
she deals out smiles and tears
Happy and troubled years.
And passes on.
Lite cares for no mans whim
Nor heeds his plea,
What she designs for him
Thus shall il be.
Whether he rise or fall.
Gaining or losing all.
Life has her way:
Rich, though a man may be.
He has no price or fee
Life's hand 10 stay.
Whether he smile or frown.
Life moves along.
Sending her rain storms down
On all the throng.
Pain man shall have TO know
Whether he will or no,
Even his prayers
Life will not hear or heed
What though his heart may bleed
Little she cares.
Life has no thought TO give
On little man.
Whether he die or live,
On goes her plan.
she seems to see
Ages that are TO be
Better than these;
Man comes and goes away,
Life smiles and adds his day
Unto the centuries.

Hope for Better Government.

We have written these words in a
spirit OF love toward our Democratic
brethren. We are as desirous Of ulti-
mate Democratic success in this State
as its leaders are. But we believe
that the time occasionally comes to
clean house in an organization-to
start anew and to fight for success.
At such time pretty phrases serve
no purpose Constructive criticism
IS the only thing which will aid. some
of the faults of Delaware Democracy
-reactionary principles, Bourbonisrn
which excludes those who would helm
and ancestor worship-are stnl more
glaring in the Republican ranks. But
we care not for the reformation of that
feudal organization. Its corruption

to see Democracy become so strong
and progressive that il will gather 10
its side mighty host which will throw
from power that organization which
has trammeled our politics into the
mire. The Republican party has
proven to be both incompetent and
inefficient in this State. The only
hope for better government is De-
mocracy-but Democracy must so
strengthen itself that il will have the
power TO conquer the only feudal OIL

ders with men from II other States
While tho Democratic party does not
refuse their aid. yet It appears to the
dinlnterested observer that the Rcpub-
licans have been more eager to cap
ture the support of these men. They
were good enough to fight for their
country; some of them should be
good enough to indulge In politics In
peace time.
Delaware Democracy needs pro-
gressive principles il 1t wishes to
gain permanent support OF native citi-
zens of independent thought, of pro-

raoy needs new leaders who have kept

Geological thought; leaders who are
capable of upholding progressive prin-
ciples which will differ from the re-
dictionary policies of the Republicans.
II the Democratic party is not to differ
from the Republican party, why main
tain it?
These new leaders should be men
who have kept pace with the times.
II is foolish to advance men for
office who are known to be bitterly
opposed to equal suffrage and prohi-
bition--two elements in our national
life which have come TO stay. No

II should not be necessary to say
that any group of citizens who place
their love for an European country

not be admitted TO the councils OF the

pect our citizens to vote according
