Luck or Good Judgment
CFrom the New York Trlbune)

1t may have been good judgment
or It may have been merely good
luck, but whatever II was the de-
cision of President Harding and Sec
rotary Hughes to send no delegates
to Genoa has been quickly vindi-
Gated.
1t was not, Of course, polite to say
when the invitation to attend was
declined that the conference held out
little hope of lettering world con-
ditions, but there is no harm in say
ing so now. The gathering, because
of the way Il Is constituted. contains
seeds Of futility. It is difficult TO
keep a solid front when only friends
are in consultation; but there is no
prospect Of quiet when delegates
bring their guns along. A time may
come when Germany and Russia can
sit down in good faith at a common
table, but it-has not yet arrived.
Neither Germany nor Russia in
any true sense is interested In the
official Genoa program. They are
not new internationally minded
only nationally minded It is not' to
be expected they should be anything
else. Filled with self commiseration,
especially Germany, they are out to
get something for themseives-and
nothing other. Germany has but
one political purpose in her thought

PUT THEM ON RECORD.

From the Seaford News.
When the candidates come for
ward seeking nomination to our
General Assembly next Fail It will
be a duty Of the voting public, ir-
respective OF party, to put them on
record as to their attitude on taxa
ton in Delaware, and to obtain their
views as to how tax rates may be
rescued. Unless the voter demands
this information from the prospec-
tive candidates there will be no ex-
cuse for further protest regarding
taxation, for the one and only
method OF meeting and overcoming
the present condition is by voting
only for men who sincerely obligate
themselves to improve our condi-
tons as far as taxes are concerned.
There has been a very rapid rise
in the tax rates in Delaware during
the last year or two. The public has
protested and quite recently there
has been no end Of complaint, but
all of this protest and complaint
comes too late. The old time ounce
OF prevention being worth a pound
of cure can well be applied in this
matter. and the public may apply
the ounce of prevention by ascer>
tanning what candidates really stand
for in taxation. before they give
them votes at the polls.
It matters not how strong may be
the party or fractional feeling dur
ing the coming campaign the people
Of Delaware-the taxpayers Of our
State-must protect themselves. Our
present system of taxation is not
suitable and cannot be applied with
fairness to the majority. We have
great improvements that must be
paid for but they should not be
placed on the men and women who
have a difficult time eking out a
living Fair taxation will place tn,
| burden where II belongs. The gen
eral public Is willing TO pay a fai
share. but beyond that fair share
they should not be loaded down. lie
I US put Il up to candidates and pu
aside all else when we find then
willing to fight for a fair form o

From the Milford Chronicle.
For years children have been
turned out on the school grounds or
highways adjacent to public schools
to work off their exhuberance of
spirit and muscular development.
The big with the tiny, and the boys
with the girls-with the result that
the little folks were victims to the
large and robust. There was no train
ing to play-no one knew how to
instruct the children and they we're
left to develop themselves as best
they might. This has been changed
in Milford and several other schools
in Delaware. A physical training
teacher has been employed to in
struct the various classes how to
play so that each pupil can take part

. Their ages were given to the
matron as sixteen not fourteen as
later stated The law says boys
under fourteen shall not be put in
prison or jail. II has often been
necessary, on account Of lack Of
room at Detention House, TO send
runaway boys from fifteen to seven
teen to the police station for the
night.
1.-The Detention House has at
present only one room, containing
at the most three beds, where boys
may be confined. and as this room
was occupied by small boy sent by
the authority of the Juvenile Court,
the matron was unable to take care
Of four large boys.
Though greatly desired by the
Juvenile Court its jurisdiction does
not extend beyond the city limits
and as these boys were arrested in
the county, their cases came before
Magistrate Broman.
"On account of lack Of room at
the Detention House, the magistrate
had to commit these boys to the
workhouse until their parents could
be communicated with and the boys
taken to their homes.
when the public understands that
all truants from our public schools
who cannot be probated to their
parents have TO be kept in such an
institution till their cases can be set
tied, as well as all other cases Of
juvenile delinquency and dependency
the need for proper quarters is pain
fully apparent.
1.-THE ages Of children under the
care of the Juvenile Court range
from babies to girls of is and boys
of II years of age. The present
quarters at the Detention House con
