THEY WERE PREMATURE.

The Republican campaign orators,
local and imported, who dragged the
League Of Nations into the Delaware
campaign in such a prominent man
ner this week-probably in conse-
quence of q pre-arranged plan--and
Jumped on it so vigorosuly, must be
somewhat embarrassed by the news
from Washington to the effect that
President Harding Is drawing nearer
and nearer to the point of seeking
membership in the league for our
country. While these partisan speak
ers were denouncing the League OF
Nations and endeavoring TO make its
Reputation the paramount issue of
the Delaware political campaign, word
came from Washington that the ad-
nninistration was seriously considering
the matter of our couptry's formal
representation in the Court Of Inter

DEFICIT AND BUDGET.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, an ar
dent Republican paper, in an edi-
torial on the national financial situa-
ton, frankly admits IN ecertainty of
a deficit Of $500, 900 900 in the national
treasury at the close of the current
fiscal year. The probabilities are it
will be nearer billion dollars.
Republican orators in Delaware are
now lavishly praising the Harding
administration for its great accom-
plishments IN the interest Of the
people, especially in the matter of
introducing economies in admins
tration and reducing taxation. Now
it is admitted by good Republican
authority that the administration is
piling up a deficit which may amount
to a billion dollars. What kind Of
an accomplishment" is that? How
can economy be claimed in the face
of a huge deficit?
The Philadelphia Inquirer predicts
that this deficit can be accommodated
and expenditures reduced by the bud
get for the ensuing fiscal year. But II
Congress disregards the budget, as
IL did during the past year it is diff
hcult to sec how the budget can eff.
! feet any improvement. II Is only
when a budget Is strictly adhered &c
( that il amounts to anything.
I Thus il will be seen how puerils

are the national partisan arguments
which are being hurled upon the
people Of Delaware in order to influ-
ence their votes at the election. But
they have a great deal moro to think
about, and to vote about, in the high
taxes and other administrative evils
that afflict them.

CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

will practically come to close to-
night. There will be much quiet ac-
tivity by candidates and party work
ers tomorrow. and Monday also will
be devoted to last hour" appeals,
principally personal. On Tuesday the
interested politicians Will be fairly
frantic in their efforts to bring their
party voters to the polls, so that the
last one OF the votes that they may
influence will be duly cast.
But It is reasonable to believe that
the people, those who will determine
the verdict by their votes, have fully
made up their minds as to what they
intend to do. There is evidence that
a great many OF them are indifferent,
as is fully shown by the largely re-
duced figures OF the registration.
Those who refrained from registering
compose the small army OF voters
who have resolved to ignore the cleo
ton entirely.
But about $4,000 citizens, men and
women, have qualified themselves for
voting by registration, and therefore
may exercise the privilege Of fran
prise the jury that will render the YER
dict.
To these $4,000 Jurors the arguments
advanced by interested speakers and
candidates have been addressed News
papers also have taken q large part in
endeavoring to influence the Judgment
Of the voters. Every Evening has
assumed its full share IN this inter-
esting work.
So far as we are concerned, we have
endeavored TO present the real issues
Of the campaign, fairly and honestly.
We have supported the cause of the
Democratic party because we believe
II stands now, more emphatically than
ever before, for the interests of the
people. However frequently this ex-
preston may be set down as mere
partisan clap-trap, we are sure the
people of Delaware know it does no,
stand in such a light at this time.
We have advocated the success o.
the Democratic party and its candi
dates because we believe such a re
suit would be attended by a chang
in administrative conditions in thi
State that is badly needed.
Expenditures have been enorufousi,
increased and taxes have advanced ia
beyond the limit of reasonable re
ouirement. Partisan evils permeat
all the branches of administratio
under Republican party control, b
reason Of the long continuance Of tina
party in power in this State.
In view Of these conditions, whic
known to all, we have earnestl
the people to vote for chang
Getting the capable candidates {
49, Democratic party. Surely chang
is needed.
The managers and candidates OF II
Republican party have entirely it
nored these vital local issues. The
ask the people TO vote for a continl
snce OF extravagant administratio
high taxes and costly partisan favo
itisrn, solely for the purpose Of STAN
ing by the Republican party.

appeal means more 10 them.

WHY NOTHING BUT SMOKE?

Periodically almost daily. the news papers of our large cities contain lu- rid stories of fabulous sums of money involved in run running eases unearth- cd by prohibition agents. Sometimes 1t is with the conniyance of some of the agents themselves
 Names facts. and dates are often given, and there appears to be no doubt as to the correctness of the statements.
 Presumably the evidence k passed on to the public prosecutors, whose duty il is to convict law violators and send them to jail.
 But, presumably, some of these pros ecutors are afflicted with conveniently short memories. And, presumably, their memories have habit of failing them at the most critical time
 Why so much smoke and no force Why so much evidence and so little prosecution?
 Is it case of graft, fear to prose cute, or just plain inefficiency?

AN AGE OLD STORY

"A regular drunken orgy was rag ing in strike headquarters on the day preceding the Hubert murders, with about d score of strikers drinking whisky and playing cards in back room"
 This is an excerpt from a deposi- tion introduced as evidence in the murder trial of Hugh Borland at Ma rion, Ark Borland, striker, is ac- cused of being one of the slayers of two negro strike breakers at Hubert.
 The man who made the deposition is striker, and his statement was made in the interest of the man on Borland's attorneys is that the man was not himself when the crime was committed that he was stupefied by drink. The deposition, therefore, may be accepted as true.
 All through the testimony given on behalf of the accused man runs the slimy trail of liquor-"a drunken orgy was raging at strike headquarters"
 The testimony shows that even the most radical of the strikers shrunk from the shedding of human blood. Conscience would not allow him to shoot down fellow man. therefore, conscience must be stilled, anaesthe- tized with the drug that subdues all that Is divine in man and brutaliZes him to the point where he is lower than the beast of the jungle.
 When the striking shopmen aban- doned reason and resorted to violence they lost every element of sympathy that had eomforted and sustained them in their differences with the railroads. They not only called down condemnation on their own heads, but brought reproach on the organ izations with which they were affil- lated.
 In such cases as the one under con- sideratiOn the evidence in open court generally brings to light the fact that liquor is the thing that lends a false courage to the slayer and nerves the finger that presses the trigger of the gun.
 Theories of personal rights may be advanced in defense of the manufac- ture and sale of intoXicants, but they crumble before fact when the light of truth is turned on.
 The story of Borland is not new It is as old as the ages.
 Whisky and murder are twins that roam the world hand in hand.-Com- mercial Appeal
