ENVY.

ENVY.
Lord. am sick with envy! Not OF
those
Whose sum OF gold is greater far than
mine.
Nor those who stand where pomp and
glory shine,
But when see another man diclose
The traits Of mercy 70 his fallen foes,
Or stand alone upon Truths battle
line
And sprun the wrong which selfish ends
propose.
GENEROUSLY yearn to be as fine.
II it be sin to envy. damned am I,
For day by day l envy better men
Who are too big TO profit by lie.
In faith and strength would be born
again,
No good man ever passes by my gate
But what I wish that l could be as
great.

NOT TO BR CONDONED.

Referring to the organization in
Laurel and vicinity of branch OF
the notorious Ku Klux Khan, the
Laurel Leader says: Their objects
arc understood to be clean and for
public good. There Is no record Of
this organization abusing its strength
in numbers or bringing disgrace to
It's members. In Delaware many
patriotic citizens are reported to be
members. and men OF high standing
are reported as being diligent leaders
in its work. Until the organization Ia
known to be operating for purposes
other than public good. criticism
should be withheld. If known that
the Ku Klux is doing good work. and
in behalf of the public. it should be
commended"
But the difficulty will be to decide
il this secret and decidedly repellant
organization Is really bent on doing
good work. True. 1t has done nothing
in Delaware, thus far, that IL In def
ance OF law or repugnant to good
sentiment. But its evident purpose to
endeavor to correct wrong doing on
it's own initiative, by administering
its own forms OF punishment upon al
legged wrong doors. is in violation OF
law and therefore highly undesira Bile.
no matter how worthy may be its pur-
poses and professions.
If many good citizens are connected
with this mysterious and generally
repulsive organization. there is nc
doubt they could render good public
service by renouncing any purpose
of administering corrective measures
on their own initiative, and placins
their organization and all its resource:
in earnest and effective cooperation
with the regular authorities for tn,
purpose Of detecting the perpetrator.
of crime and violators of law in gen.
eral, so they may be arraigned il
court and If found guilty punished
in accordance with the forms OF law
And IL half the reports which COM
from Sussex county are truthful. Their,
is great need for a cooperative OF
ganization Of good and law-abidin,
citizens to aid the lawful authoritie
in bringing about a general clean
ing up.
But the Ku Klux Khan is in n
manner appealing. Even its name /
unsavory and repulsive. We hope
will not prosper in Delaware. unles
it shall be employed in the manner W
have indicated.

THE WILSON FOUNDATION.

Today II the anniversary Of not
able event in American history-ths
formal declaration. by President
Woodrow Wilson. Of n state of war
between the United States and the
German Empire.
This step was not taken without duo |
elaboration. On Monday. April 2,
1917, tho Congress met In special SEES
sion, called on account OF the war
emergency. That night. President
Wilson, delivering his message TO a
held In the hall OF the House of Rep
resentatives. said:
There is ono choice We cannot
make. are incapable OF making:
We will not choose the path of
submission and suffer the most
sacred right OF our nation and our
people to be ignored or violated"
This ringing declaration was over
whelminEly Endorsed by Congress In
the adoption OF the war resolution,
in the Senate by vote OF So to 6. on
April 4, and in the House by n vote OF
s7s to so, on April 8. Tho next day
came the formal DECLARE ton OF war by
President Wilson, and today In the
fifth Anniversary OF our participation
in the worlds greatest conflict at
arms.
II Is fitting, therefore. In this CON-
nection, TO make reference TO one Of
the many important results OF that
worldwide upheaval, the movement
now under way to honor the great
American who did so much To make
the war victory for democracy and
humanity by establishing a founda-
ton bearing his name. to be devoted
TO an uplifting work which cannot fail
Of producing results OF great bene-
fit TO the country.
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation
has been organized completely and
effectively. and is now engaged In a
campaign for raising fund OF al
least a million dollars, the income
: from which il is proposed to use In
making periodic awards for srea,
public service. TO perpetuate the Ideals
which are recognized as the very
essence OF Mr.. Wilson's craftsmanship
and the embodiment Of the principles
OF true democracy
The work of raising this fund has
progressed almost 10 the point o.
