WHAT STUDENTS THINK ABOUT

arising between themselves ana
their employers.
The most powerful weapon OF
the union is the strike. In some
cases this may endanger societyEa5
a whole and should therefore be
done away with. The fire fighters
are in just this position. Shoui',
they strike, the whole city would
be left without protection. A sit
uation like this could not be all
lowed to exist. This seems to be
the main ground the city commits
sion have taken in opposing their
organization and they have dis
charged these men for their action.
But did they not act rather hast
lily? What right has the city COM
mission to judge whether the fire
men should be allowed to organize?
And are they competent to do this :!
! In the local fire fighters constl-
| tuition, one of their articles eXpli-
city states that they will never use
| the strike to settle any question
they might have, but will put the
case before an impartial board.
| Now, does this read like bOlshe-
vism or outlawry? 1t does not,
and everything points to the fact
that they We're deprived of their
jobs without sufficient cause after
hasty considerationby misinformed
and prejudiced officials. The fire
men have never stepped beyond
their proper bounds. They only
ask a fair deal. They have not re-
ceived a fair deal at the hands of
the city commission. To uphold
the firemen's stand at the polls will
mean the Endorsement of one Of
those principles in which the Amer
Iican people have put their conf
denCe throughout the country. To
do otherwise will be to back the
action of the city commission which
was illegal, unjust and against the
traditions of America.

THE BURNING QUESTION
BY V. T. Scoopmire

The cause of the local fire fight
ers is to be brought before the pup,
lie for a decision.
What will the people say?
We must grant that all working
men, in whatever capacity they
may be employed, have the right
to organize their craft in order 10
further and better their own con-
ditions. The fire fighters have a
national organization. The primary
objective of a labor organization Of
any kind is collective bargaining.
BY this means they are in a posi-
ton peaceably to settle all matters

FARM HOUSE AND CONTENTS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire, which is supposed to have
started by spark falling on the floor
after fire had been started in the
kitchen stove, destroyed the farm
house on the farm owned by Harry
Thaw, of Milford, and his sister, Mrs.
McClOskey, of Philadelphia, last Sat
urday morning. The tenant, Charles
Gray, had made a fire in the kitchen
stove after which he went to the
stables to feed his stock. A few min
utes afterwards he glanced towards
the house which was then in flames.
He rushed to the house and got his
wife and children out of the burning
structure, but was able to save only
a few pieces of furniture. The Car
Isle Fire Company, of Milford, re-
spOnded to call for aid. The build
ing was practically consumed before
their arrival. A portion of the house
was of brick. The weakened wall was
pulled down on Saturday morning.
Mr.. Thaw states that he will rebuild
A small amount of in
surance was carried on the house, but
MIR. Gray had none on the furniture.

REHOBOTH BEACH JETTTES
The COMMISSION MET ON WEDNESDAY
AND ASKS FOR BIDS FOR PROJECT.

The Rehoboth Beach Commission
met on Wednesday and advertised for
bids for construction of jetties to pro-
tect RehObOth's strand from the bat
terings of storms and tides.
The State has appropriated $4,000
for the construction of jetties accord
ing to plans suggested by B. F. Cres-
son, an expert engineer, who now is a
cOnsultant for the Wilmington Har-
Dor Commissioners.
Some persons have suggested that
the RehObOth Commission might get
far better results if it enlist the aid
of Senators Ball and du Pont and
Congressman Layton and secure hulIs
of some wooden vessels from the
Fleet Corporation and
sink them at spots to be designated
by United States engineers from a
point near HenlOpen light to a point
near Indian river inlet light. Such an
operation, it is cOntended, would safe
guard ancient Henlopen lighthouse
and build up the entire stretch of
coast along Rehoboth's front. The
Fleet Corporation, it is
pointed out, has hundreds of wooden
7essel hulls it does not know what /.
% do with, and it is claimed they
could be gotten by the State almost /
or the asking. A sunken barge off /
3ehObOth shows how the beach can
,e built up.

THE DEAR OLD CIRCUS

The Dear Old Circus! What a flood
of "reminiscences they bring to the
grOwn-up. What a world of wonder
ment in the kid" at his side in the
street, as they both gaze at the pic
tured pageantry of Hippodrome and
the Menagerie as pictured on the
neighbOring barn. And indeed we feel
sorry for that grown-up too old or
callOus or embittered to himself, for
gotten when he himself was a child;
or if he finds no joy. in the fact that
the youngsters of his town and coun-
try are to know the thrill, the faith
!Omless child wonder that comes to
them only on the day when the red
wagons arrive; and the big elephants
and the funny old clowns, the trum-
peting bands and the footing steam
caliOpes.
We're there ever such wonderful lit
tie ponies, such bespangled girls, such
bewildering funny clowns? That man
is old indeed, whose heart does not
wax to the memory of that long-ago /
boy who is yet like the boy of today,
with his mop of unruly hair, and his /
Iuota of stubbed toes and stone bruis-
IS. Circus Day! There is nothing like
t under the sun.
Be boy again and see the Walter
L. Main Fashion Plate Shows when it
lists here September Is or 16.

DEMOCRATS MAYELECT
A COMMITTEE WOMAN
MRS. HENRY RIDGELY AND MRS. MAR
SHALLiDERBY ARE SUGGESTED FOR
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
LEADERS FAVOR this PLAN
CHAIRMAN ISAACS MAY CALL ANOTHER
MEETING OF The STATE COMMIT
TEE AT AN EARLY DATE.

Having failed to agree on a man
for National Committeeman to sue
ceed Chancellor Josiah o. WOlcott,
some Democratic leaders in the lower
counties are now advocating that a
woman be given this place of honor.
In this connection the names of
Mrs. Marshall Derby of WOOdside, and
Mrs. Henry Ridgely of Dover, have
been mentioned. Both women are
members of the Democratic State
Committee and both have been active
in party affairs since the franchise
was extended to women. Mrs. Ridgely
for years was an active suffrage
workers. She is now vice-chairman of
the Democratic State Committee.
At the meeting of the State Com
mittee at RehobOth two weeks ago
when the committee failed to elect
Chancellor WolcOtt's successor, it was
decided at the suggestion of Mrs.
Ridgely and Mrs. Marshall to raise
$1,000 towards getting trained organ
izers from the National Committee
headquarters to come to Delaware to
assist in organizing the Democratic
women of the State.
1t has been suggested by some lead
ers that as there is no campaign this
year. the matter of electing a Nation
al Committeeman be postponed until
after the new Democratic State Com
mittee is chosen next spring. There is /
much opposition to this suggestion, /
however, and those favOring an early .
election of a National Committeeman
or committee woman say that inform
al word has been received from the
National Committee to the effect that
committee may be re-Organized short
ly and that under the circumstances
Delaware should have a representa-
tive on the committee.
1t is reported that Chairman Isaacs
may call another meeting of the Dem
State Committee to be held at
Dover the middle of next month to
alect Chancellor WOlcOtt'S successor.
