nal.
Sir: The Wilmington papers are
favorable TO the new charter. but
this does not cause them to exclude
any fair argument against IL, when
based on logic and legal foundations,
and I am grateful for their favors
in this crisis.
Personally I do not favor the new
charter az conceived, for I find even
Pennsylvania in 1919 giving up the
commission theory OF elections and
going back TO the Orthodox party
mode Of filling the Offices; but the
commissioners are yet retained.
, Any desiring TO know just how the
commission acts in Chester may get
full knowledge by reading. the more
than a column report, in the North

condition in Chester is stated to be
disgraceful. This is what progres
sive. socialistic ideas OF government
mean. Take no stock in far on
tales from Texas and Oklahoma
Wilmington has a system. sanctified
by years of experience which can be
slightly amended but should never
be destroyed.
lsms and nonsense may rage foi
a moment, but all must go back tC
sanity. Popularism, the silver craz'
and League Of Nations have gone
into the discard. Dakota's non-par
tisan league has broken upon th'
rocks, and commission rule canno
long endure. No structure car
stand on wind or sand. Wilmington
does not want haphazard construc

Every citizen in 'the three lower

Hercules Company Can Buy Aetna
Property

Laeve has been granted to the Her
cules Powder Company to acquire the
physical properties and other assets of
the Aetna Explosives Company, Inc,
as the result of a hearing at the March
term of the United States District
Court, before Circuit Judges Buffing-
ton ,Woolley and Davis.
The opinion was written by Judge
Woolley, and reviews the various
points raised by the action, which
takes the technical form of a modii-
cation of the final decree in the case
of the United States VS.. E. l. DUPONT
de Nemours and Company, dated June
Is, 1912, dissolving the combination of
manufacturers of explosives under the
Sherman antitrust act.
In support of the conclusion that the
court has jurisdiction and should take
cognizance of the matter in question
the opinion declares that the Hercules
Powder Co. is something more than a
manufacturing and selling corporation.
1t is an integral and vital part of the
| courts scheme of dissolution and is
made a potential instrument for break
ing UP and for keeping broken up a
combination found unlawful. Into
that combination, of which it never
! was a part, the court injected it. 1t Is

The message discussed at length the
need of interesting young Jews in the
order, changes in the insurance fea-
ture of the organization, and help for
suffering children of Jewish ~parentage

Favorable action was taken upon
a proposition offered and championed
by Alexander NJ. katsky, of Brooklyn,
that the order formally adopt so war

said to be 100000. The p~roponent
pledged himself to the care of one

80 years, MI. Dorf was reelected by

DEPLORES RACE HATRED
Head of Birth Abraham Lauds Jewish
Patriotism

Atlantic City, May S.-Defense of
American Jews against anti-Semetic
attacks was made by Samuel Dorf,
grand master of the United States
Grand Lodge Birth Abraham, IN a
message delivered to members at their
annual convention in Atlantic City on
Sunday. "The Jewish people," the
message said, "have contributed their
full share to the progress, the welfare,
the prosperity and happiness of the
land. Whether in the happy hours OF
peace or in the dark or terrible ones
of war, the Jewish people as a class
have proven themselves intensely pa
%triotic. We, therefore, denounce the
libelers and defamers of thu Jew who
would SOW the seeds of discord among
their fellow-men and seek to create
race antagonism, which has no place
in this or in fact, in any country on
the face of the earth
Attacks upon the Jewish race made
within the United States, the grand
master said, were "most barefaced
and shameful falsehoods, born mostly
of bigotry and racial hatred, and are
the o%utgrowth of ignorance"
Gratitude was expressed to men and
women of other denominations "who,

A Mothers Maxim

When Frederic Temple, the late
archbishop of Canterbury, was a poor
boy, wearing patched clothes and
patched shoes, he had the good fortune
to have a wise mother who stimulated
and encouraged the right kind of am
bition, and directed his zeal. One day
the boy waxed critical over the incon-
sistency of English spelling, when his
mother chided him gently. Freddie,
don't argue; do your work" The les
son was not lost on his open mind. He
followed the sage advice. And long
years after, when as primate of all
England he had arisen to a position
scarcely second to any dignity and in
fuence in the land he acted on his
mothers council: Don't argue; do
your work."-F. H. Cheley, in "Stories

stock with.
This year is bad enough but a
far worse seems just ahead. Con-
siderable wheat has been planted

threshed in good condition, will
help much. Plant broadcast and
gather all the rough feed possible
to feed cattle so as to have milk

energy and strength and sense,

Just now how, patiently we are
waiting for the mutton corn, to-
matoes, cantaloupes. In the
meantime we have enjoyed the

pests. The crop won't make more

Rust lice and worms are severely
iniuring tie cotton. breaking the
stands. Peaches bid fair and
some places to do well. On the
whole there is as much encOurag-
ment as encouragement for the
future.
The contiued fall of cotton will
still further hamper the farmers
in paying their debts. Some don't
care whether they are paid or
not, others do and many will be
paid for there is nothing to pay
with certainly not cotton.
