the rift in the lutte has become a bad
bust. and that Damon and Pythias no

This means that DIR. Layton and DR..

Delaware. have had disagreement
on the matter of Federal patronage.
Says DIR. Layton in tones OF mingled
anger and sorrow:
After months OF worry and after
numerous things that have produced
personal dissatisfaction as to matters
connected with Federal patronage in
the State-I have definitely determined
to make no effort to have anything TO
do with patronage OF any sort"

OF the multitude OF Delaware voters,
We wish to congratulate DR.. layton
upon bis wise decision. Although some
OF his personal friends may be the
loser. Delaware wiII- be the gamer.
The trouble with our Senators and
Representatives ir the past has been
that they have generally given more
attention 10 patronage than they have
to legislation Now we are assured

THE NAVAL HOLIDAY.

\ The caution and deiiberatlon with
which the Japanese government Is
examining the possibilities Of the
Pacific conference is. or should be. a
reminder 20 our easy optimism that
difficulties lie in the path OF our hopes.
Many OF these difficulties are obvious
enough from little consideration
and wise men will realize that they
may prove to be insurmountable. We
may hope that far eastern accord
r.tay be worked out and substantial
measures of disarmament agreed upon
With coroilaries OF great Importance.
But. on the other hand. little or moth
Ing may be accomplished In this field
We hope, therefore. that the COM
paratively simple and practicable pro-
icct for limitation of naval building
b. Great Britain, Japan and the United
states will not be shelved Here liz n

pushed, can be accomplished with re-

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WOMEN.

GOOD NEWS FROM BRAZIL

To lend out Of our plentiful supply
of capital the moderate sum of s25.-
100000 10 Brazil. as this country did
three months ago, was not an extra
ordinary thing i'm these days of large
finance. But the spirit In which the
money was lent and the effect it has
had In helping Brazil turn the corner
of financial and commercial depression
constitute distinct triumph for
American finance. According TO tele-
graphic advices from Rio dc Janerio il
is the opinion Of business authorities
there that the worst stage of de-
preston in Brazil has passed Con

gratifying indication Moreover. tho
quick subscription OF the loan-wrich

credit Is still sound in the United
states, the greatest reservoir N ca apitsI
on the globe.
Even such countries as have high
credit rating Of icnx duration in this
country could not fail to understand
the strong faith implied by the over
subscription OF a loan in less than
