JUST FOLKS
THE REAL CURE.
BY Edgar A. Guest

When fellows knocked out and he
cant get about
And the doctor says. stay there in
bed
When he's all aches and pains and the
blood in his veins
Seems TO flow like a fluid of lead,
You may dose hfm with pills and with
tinctures and squiIls,
But the cure for a man, after all,
Are the roses of love and the glad
The good friends VINO drop in TO call
Shut him up all alone, and he'll lie
there and groan
In the dusk Of his dark curtained
room,
And his cheeks will grow pale, and his
spirits viii fail,
And his face reflect only the gloom;
Then no powder or pill can restore to
his viii
The courage to see the thing through,
What he needs is the smile Of a friend
for awhile
Or the good that few flowers can
do.
Any doctor viii say. II you ask him
today,
That with all of his wisdom and
skill,
Why he'd oft be dismayed were it not
for the aid
OF the friends of the fellow who's i'll.
That nothing he knows has the power
Of the rose,
Sent in by a good friend who cares.
To Danish the gloom OF an invalid S
room
And tighten the pain that he bears.

THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR.

Kansas City's good fortune brings TO
it today the opportunity to welcome
the British Ambassador. That welcome
would be his in any case as the repre-
sentative in this country Of a great
and friendly power. In Sir Auckland
Geddes Americans recognize one pc
culiarly fitted, both in experience and
syInpathies, to exercise what probably
is the highest Office of an Ambassador,
which Is to interpret to each other the
people of his country and the people
of the country to which he is accredited.
Sir Anckland's ability to do that has
the solidest basis. He is in the best
sense and without any hyphen a British
American. Americans sometimes forget
that Britain is an American as well as
a European power. In fact. the worst
qtrarrels Britons have with us Is over
our insistence in applying the term
American only to citizens of the United
States. Now, the Canadians are Amer
leans, too, and insist for themselves as
Britain insists for them that they have
some little claim on a name that has
a geographical as we'll as a national
sense. They dwell on the American
continent, on pretty big stretch of it,
In fact, and IL they are not Americans
in the sense that citizens of the United
States are, they are at any rate British
Americans, and Sir Auckland Geddes is
one of them. Before he became menu
ber of the British government in many
high capacities he was principals
our British American neighbors call it
lat McGiil university in Montreal.
1t is pretty clear therefore that Sir
Aucklani's qualifications as an inter-
prefer between the British and Amer
lean peoples are rather special and
rather valuable. We suspect the British
government had them in mind when 1t
sent him to Washington, and 1t would
not be remarkable II Americans should
come to recognize that these qualifi-
cations are an advantage to them, too.

HOW MARITAL
LAW OPERATES
IN IRELAND

Copyright. 1921.

Dublin. May 24.--Martial Law In a
term OF which many districts In the
south OF Ireland have cause to regard
with apprehension. 1t places all control
OF the community in the hands of the
military governor. All the sanctions OF
civil liberty are suspended. The civil
courts do not function. ION this point
IL is true that serious questions are
now occupying the attention of high
courts in Dublin. The local coroner is
superseded. and inquiries into causes
OF violent deaths are held by the mill
tary. 1t Is In the power of the military
authority to permit or prohibit fairs or
markets. All assemblies of people above
six are Illegal and may be dispersed by
force. Funerals are regulated so that
only fixed number of uofirnera may
follow the remains of deceased friends
to the graveyard for fnterTnent. So far
there has not been any limitation of
religious services. but frequently the
congregations on leaving the churches
are held up and searched. Household
ers are required to make out a list OF
the persons sleeping In their houses
and this must be affixed to the back of
the street door for inspection by crown
forces at any time the. may call.
Under such restrictions II Is easy to
imagine that the life which people 1.-Two

s'TO0 JUST TO FIGHT.

TOO just to fight" phrase found
in one of Harding's speeches in New
York the other day seems like a weak
and diluted adaptation of President
Wilson's famous utterance: TOO proud
to fight which drew such PARTISAN
criticism from the G. o. p. leaders as
a campaign issue. The difference is
that Wilson's utterance meant that we
were not ready to go to war for an i'm
aginary affront at that critical time,

tation used by Harding Is absolutely

HERE'S AN OBJECT LESSON.

In order to represent its cause at q
hearing In the Municipal Court in an
action involving its authority over the
detail of operations by the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Co., which
was challenged by the Department OF
Public Safety. the Public Utility Com
missioners Of this city retained two at
torneys. who. of course, win have to be
paid for their services out of the public
fund. The commission no doubt felt
that its official dignity was at stake,
and that official self-respect demanded
that it maintain that dignity regardless
of the cost to the people.
The basis of this litigation is some
what interesting. and also. in measure,
somewhat ridiculous. The Public UtiIi-
ties Commission gave an order to the
traction company to have certain stops
made by some of its cars. The Depart
ment Of Public Safety, regarding COM
piiance with this order as a menace to
safety, forced an issue by the arrest
of a motorman for making the stops
that had been ordered by the Public
Utility Commission. The Street and
Sewer Department tentatively took
cognizance of the dispute as an inter
ested party, its charter clothing it with
sole and exclusive jurisdiction from
building nne TO building line" over all
the streets. lanes and alleys of the city.
Regardless Of how this controversy
may end. there is just occasion for set
ting down the proceedings that have
arisen as contrary to sound public pol
icy, and in respect of cost an imposi-
ton upon the people. To the ordi-
nary observer ii would naturally seem
that the question at issue is one that
might have been settled by an ami
cable conference Of the interested par
ties. without any resort TO costly legal
ptD1ScAIlSS. pOF aiA Ine COST OF con-
troversies over public matters con-
Quoted in this manner falls upon the
people
Also. this annoying and somewhat
ridiculous situation is one of the in
evitable results of conflicts of author
ity and other shortcomings and mis-
understandings that are invited by the
inadequate and restrictive provisions of
our ancient and inefficient city charter.
Here we have an impressive object les
son which emphasizes the necessity of
charter reform. And surely, by this
time, our people should know how to
make their demand for charter reform.

SENATOR woLcoTTs DISSECTION

Editor Every Evening. The an
nouncement of Governor Denneyss
judicial appointments, which appears in
the evening papers today. is certainty
a great surprise to a large number of
his constituents. without In the least
rejecting upon the positive merits of
any of the appointees, wish to be
among the first to voice great disap-
pointment at the governors failure to
reappoint the Honorable Charles M.
Curtis to the post which he has filed
with such conspicuous fidelity and
ability. There is probably no man in
the city more universally respected by
his fellow-citizens, and hts conduct of
his high office has always reflected that
high character. and ripe experience, and
sound Judgment which one naturally
associates with the judiciary. The
bench needs just such men as ChanceI-
lor Curtis, and to lose his services just
when he is in the prime of his physical
vigor and at the height of his official
usefulness, seems to me a positive
calamity
But the matter becomes even more
serious when we consider that the
chancellor named by Governor Denney
cannot accept the appointment without
resigning the honorable post of United
States Senator. to which he was ap-
pointed not by the single voice of a
governor, but by the expressed win OF
a majority of his fellow-citizens
throughout the State of Delaware.
Senator Wolcott was signally honored
in being sent To the United States Sem
ate SO early is his public career. He
has filed the office most creditably, and
TO the satisfaction of his constituents
and of great many others who voted
against him at the polls. True. he is
a member of the minority party in the
Senate-but is there no value in a
minority? For my part I believe that

DON'T KNOW 1WHERE
THEY'RE AT.r

Were il not for the very important
and serious issue at stake in our pend
ing municipal campaign, the plight of
the Republican party managers, who
are endeavoring to confine it to par
tisan matters entirely. would be anus
ing. And If not amusing, the situa-
ton created by the frantic efforts of
the sponsors of the Republican city
ticket to put forth claims TO public
confidence and support that viii hold
even little bit Of water are supremely
ridiculous.
City charter reform has nothing to do
with the campaign shout of the Repub-
lican campaign managers at $40 King
street. The election lis to be held under
the present city charter, and the only
question is the choice of capable agents
to carry out the provisions of that char
ter. And then they subside with un-
easy attempts to assume an appearance
of content.
But from the party organs, evidently
acting under orders from party head
quarters, come positive assertions that
Mr.. Republican Mayoralty Candidate
Harvey is not only a firm friend Of the
new charter movement. but supported
the charter measure urged before the
Legislature by the Citizens Committee.
But as to when Mr.. Harvey did this.
on what form his new charter activities
assumed, these organs are silent.
The truth of the campaign situation
is that the new charter issue will not
down. A majority of Wilmington citi-
zens plainly manifested their desire for

W tho measure prepared and urged by
the Citizens Committee. Of which Mr..
Harvey was not a member, and in
whose activities he had no part. This
movement for the material good of the
city was defiantly killed by the votes
of all the Republican members Of the
Legislature. at the instigation OF $40
King street.
This partisan agency. which thus set
itself against a popular movment earn
estly supported by large majority of
Wilmington voters. nominated Mr.. Har-
vey for mayor and selected every other
candidate on the Republican city ticket.
1t even nominated one of the charter
assassins in tho Legislature for city
treasurer. Can any citizen fall to see
that the success of this organization
Republican ticket at the election would
be an Endorsement of the evfl Influences
which defeated the new charter mea-
sure. and an act that would prove fatal
to any movement for charter reform at
the next session of the Legislature?
Here is the crux of the campaign sit
uation: Elect the Republican city
ticket, hand picked by the anti-charter
Republican organization. and charter
reform is doomed TO defeat for an in
definite period. Elect the Democratic
city ticket, which stands for charter re-
form and an abandonment of our par
tisan system of municipal elections, and
the next Legislature will grant to the
people OF Wilmington the reform they
so earnestly desire.
