The dissertation continues:
When War Was Main Job.
'In the days when war was the
chief occupation OF nations the war
rlor naturally held the mere trader
in contempt. and as he usually
profited from the war the trader did
not object. Later, at the beginning
OF the modern economic system. the
heir Of the warrior class were still
in possession Of large land holdings.
which the economists Of that day
sought to justify upon the ground
that a leisure class was needed as
a medium for the transmission Of
carry on the traditions OF the race
and to bear forward the fruits of
progress and civilization.
"In a degree these economists
were right; the leisure class of that
day. directly or indirectly. did not
only IN large part recover the Gull
ture Of past ages. but they also
erected a new culture and raised
new standards which they bore glor-
iously forward. standards which
have elevated the entire human race,
standards upon which the super
structure Of modern civilization is
firmly set.
Our Own Age Is Greatest.
"Our distinguished predecessors
were also responsible for much
foollshness for which we must ex-
cuse them. as they also were mem
bers OF the human race. But they
were rarely guilty OF the foolishness
of living in the past. They were
seldom found going back to the
cave men for standards with which
to measure their contemporaries.
"Our own age is the greatest of
any OF which we know that the
world has even seen, and CONNER
cialism has made Il what it is. for
commerciallsm has applied the wis
dom of the ages toward the i'm
provement and the welfare of I'll
mankind. And furthermore. unless
1t miserably passes it's opportunities
by commercialism will eventually
solve the riddle Of spiritual we'll
being.
Except that the enthusiasm it
invokes in rarely genuine. there is
no objection to the pursuit OF art
as n diversion for those who are not
artists. provided they do something
to earn the leisure I'm which to car
~ on the pursuit. LOafing on I'M
earned money is an economic crime.
The son OF the rich man is no more
entitled to leisure than the son of
The poor man. Wealth in the hands
OF the individual is a trust which
cannot rightfully be employed in
support Of idleness. The modern
code requires that every man shall
make his own contribution to So
ciety, and that Is one of the canons
that are leading commercialism to-
toward the spiritual regeneration of
OF the race"

NEW AUTOMOBILE TITLE LAW
Goes Into Effect To-day and Every
Owner Must File Ownership

New forms of applications for GER
tificates of title to motor vehicles are
required to be filled in, according to a
recently passed law, effective on and
after to-day. On the forms the name of
the owner of the machine, business
and home address are required to be
given under oath before a notary pub
lie, also a complete description of the
vehicle and complete details of owner
ship. The penalty for a false state
ment is a fine varying from $500 to
$4,000 or Imprisonment from days to
five years or both. All of the infor-
nation must be sworn to before no.
tary public and the information is filed
in the Office of the Secretary of State
at Dover. There also is space on the
application for the certificate of the
vendor and of the dealer with their
names and addresses. The effect will
be, it is said, that every sale of an au-
tomobile or other motor vehicle shall
be known to public officers and the
information will be on file where it
can be obtained. Pennsylvania and
several other States have similar laws.
After September 1 it shall be unlow-
full to have in ones possession a mo-
tor vehicle for which a certificate of
title has not been issued.

ELKTON MARRYING PASTOR OUT
Rev. J. K. McElmOyle Resigns From
Presbyterian Church PastOrship-Is
Voted a Gift of S2nOn


Describing himself as the victim of
a cruel wrong and "crucifed upon a
cross of malice" the Rev. John r.
McElmoyle, ELkton's MARRYING Par
son." Monday night resigned from the
pastorate of the Presbyterian Church.
The resignation was accepted in a re-
markable resolution, which extolled
DIR. McElmoyle in the most laudatorv
terms, and which ended with a gift to
him of $4,000, or as much more as NAV
be subscribed, and allowing him indie
finite use of the manse. The Gener-
al Assembly, the national governing
body of the Presbyterian Church, at
It's session in Winona Lake, Ind. last
week, ordered the PASTORAL relations
OF Mr.. McElmoyle and the church dis
solved. 1t adopted the report of the
general judicial commission, which up
held the Presbytery of New Castle in
ordering the pastors removal. About
24O persons are members of the church
At meeting almost two years ago to
determine whether or not Mr.. NOEL
mOyle was to be retained, SO members
voted for him and only Is cast ballots
against him. The action of the assem-
bly, only removes Mr.. McElmoyle as
pastor of the Elkton Church, and does
not interfere with his standing as a
clergyman. He is free to accept an
other call. The fight to remove Mr..
McElmoyle was started by the elders
of the Elkton Church two years ago.
They are Henry M. Mccullough, an at
torney, DR.. William L. Morrison and
w. Sterling Evans. Mr.. McElmoyle
came into public notice some years ago
by gaining the title of "The Marrying
Parson of Elkton." 1t is said that in
one year he married more than 1000
couples, averaging nearly three cou-
pies day. 1t was felt he was COM
mercializing the sacred relation of
marriage. For this and other reasons
his elders believed the pastor should
resign. There was no charge of offense
against the preacher.

CLOSED SEASON FOR SHAD
Believe This is the Only Way to I'm
prove Shad Catching in the Delaware
River and Bay-Want Rigid Law

Shad fishermen of this section.
which is one of the best known fishing
centres on the Delaware rive and bay,
have declared themselves as being in
favor of a closed season for several
years, in an effort to improve the fish
ing conditions. In their views on the
closed season for two or three wears.
these shad fishermen believe the gov
eminent should take hand in the
matter and through the operation of a
Federal migratory fish law, make a
closed season for several years along
the entire Atlantic coast, where most
OF the shad in this country are caught.
A local law closing the fishing on one
or two streams along the cost, the
fishermen declare will not secure the
proper results, as they claim this
would be unfair to those fishermen on
the streams on which the shad fishing
had been stopped. On the other hand,
some of the fishermen declare that the
catch of the fish will to large extent
determine the number of fishermen
and the length of time they will fish.
One fishing crew of this place landed
66 of the fish for the entire season,
this crew quitting after about four
weeks of small catches. Very few of
the crews made larger catches than
this and only one crew fished the en-
tire eight or ten weeks of the season.
This crew caught about $500 worth of
fish, and considering their labor alone,
without even taking into consideration
the amount of money tied up in the
fishing boat and equipment, or the ex-
penses for operating the craft, includ-
ing oils and gasoline. In past years
it was nothing unusual for a single
crew of two fishermen to catch several
hundred fish in single day, but at
that time the dealers paid only about
10 or II cents apiece for the fish, while
this season the price averaged we'll
over 81 apiece. Local dealers lost con-
siderable money this year on their
shad transactions, for one dealer who
paid the fishermen over 81 piece for
the fish, received only IS cents a piece
from the buyers in the Philadelphia
markets and the dealers claim that
this often occurred.

Miss Hamilton whose previous visits

which she took her high notes to say
nothing of her wonderful control, and
this with voice of great purity,
sweetness and power, brought forth
high encomiums from the music loving
people of Smyrna and vicinity. Mr..

MINISTER CONFESSES
TO ROBBING MAILS

Mount Vernon, ILL.,, Jan. 21.-Guy
Kyle, former rector of the Free Meth
odist Church, Of Mount Vernon, ar
rested today in connection with the
theft here last Friday of thirty-one
packages of registered mail contain
ing $1S5,000 in cash, confessed to-
night he was implicated in the rob-
berry, postoffice inspectors announced.
The inspectors said Kyle accom-
panied them to one of his garages,
where they located $500 more of
the stolen money, bringing the total
amount recovered to about $1S3,000.
Kyle also implicated several others
in the theft, according to the inspec-
tors, who declined to go into the de-
tails of his confession
No additional arrests have yet been
made, it was said.
Had Denied knowledge.
Kyles alleged confession followed
lengthy examination by inspectors.
He previously denied all knowledge
of the crime, asserting the money was
placed on his property without his
knowledge.
approximately $780, 900 was recov-
cred at the Kyle home, where it was
concealed in an egg crate, and about
$4,000 and $1,000, respectively in
two garages of which the Rev. Mr.
Kyle is part owner.
Suspicion was directed against the
former rector this morning when Lo-
rem Williamson, Kyle's partner in the
garage business, informed the inspec-
tors that Kyle had been displaying
large amounts of money in the last
week.
Believe Securities Burned.
Postoffice inspectors expressed the
belief that the $27, 900 in negotiable
ecurities, which also were stolen, had
been burned to destroy possible clews.
The Rev. Mr.. Kyle is about 45
years old and came here seven years
ago from Illin6is. He was rector of
the Free Methodist Church for three
years and for four years has been in
the garage business.
He probably will be taken to Dan
vile for arraignment.

WILSON VOICES VIEW
ON LAST ELECTION

Washington, Jan. 22-At last
something tangible in the way OF
President Wilson's views on the
presidential election, in which the
Democratic entry went down to such
an overwhelming defeat, has found
its way out of the White House. Some
one commenting upon the Democratic
candidates proposed travels made
this remark to the President:
L notice that Governor Cox is
leaving for Europe to view the de-
wasted regions resulting from the
late war"
"Why should the governor go so
far afield?" was the question with
which the President made his cryp-
tic comment. according to White
House reports.
