House. By the deciaive vote OF 1T

proval OF the dye embargo and sent

mittse.
Representative Longworth OF Ohio.
after vainly opposing this decisive
move. expressed fear that It might
result In the failure OF the entire
measure at this session OF Congress.
The people, however, would not regard
this as a calamity beyond the fact
that It would continue in force the
Emergency Tariff law, which in most
respects is as iniquitous as the Ford
ney- -McCumber bill. with its price
raising duties and it's manifold impo-
sitions upon the people. \
The best thing the Congress could
do in the matter would be to repeal
the Emergency Tariff law, restore the
Underwood Tariff law, and allow the
Fordney -McCumber monstrosity. with
its proposed dement's to favored inter.
ests at the expense Of the people. Il
die the doath It deserves. Then tn,
country would soon settle down t

KIPLING's DENIAL.

In signed dispatch, Rudyard Kip
ling yesterday denied tho truth OF an
alleged interview had with him by
Mrs. Clare Sheridan, in which, accord
ing to Mrs. Sheridan, he indulged In
comments Of an extremely caustc
character on the course of our coun-
try during the World War. Mr.. Kip
ling. however did not say whether or
not he entertained tho sentiments
thus attributed TO him.
MIR. Kipling ought to know soma
thing about the sentiment generally
entertained for kim by tn. paopl. o,

the most ardent admirers OF his earliei
literary productions, and here, durihs

our people had for him in his afi1ic

recovery.

Mr.. Kipling IL he could forget this An

SCHOOL PROBLEMS.

Mr.. Mowry, the new superintendent,
has started work with the local school
committee. All who are interested in
the welfare of the public schools and
the school children will hope for and
expect a very successful administra-
ton Of affairs.
There is no reason otherwise. There
are puzzling problems Of finance, ac-
commodations, ETC., to be solved. There
always have been and always will be.
These can be approached in two ways;
the first In a spirit of helpful co-opera-
ton, mutual respect of opinion and
ability 10 agree or disagree with no
loes Of that respect. The second Is in
a spirit Of what the schoolboy some
times calls "stuffiness" which leads
not only to lack of cooperation but
to lack of helpful respect with a pro-
portionate failure to get the best re-
suits. The latter has been somewhat
| frequently In evidence in the immedi-
ate past. There Is no need for 1t in
the future. The opening meeting OF
the school authorities on Tuesday eve-
ming was marked by a hopeful spirit
Harmony prevailed and constructive
work was done. 1t is an indication OF
the possibilities and probabilities ol
effcrt during the remainder of ths
year and years to come.

IN NO DANGER
Dtored.

The Dover State Sentinel, earnest
supporter of the obnoxious three-dol-
lar fling fee. the repeal of which is
pledged in the platforms OF both the
political parties in Delaware this
year. is sreatly disturbed over the
situation thus presented. II warns
the property owners OF Kent and Sus-
eek counties that the repeal OF this
detestable tax imposi,ion-made sc
by tho manner Of It's assessment and
not merely by amount Of the tax IL
imposes--will mean the substitution
OF an additional direct tax on their
real estate holdings.
But there is no danger Of such a
substitution. Representatives in the
legislature from the two lower coun-
ties. no matter what their politics
might b.. would never permit this
And they are sufficient IN number:
20 constitute a clear majority in Sen
ate and In House.
The fil.ng TAX is denounced because
OF It's inquisitorlal, bothersome ant
otherwise unjust character. The reve
nue. IL produces could easily be raise'
IN a less objectionable manner-say

GET REGISTERED TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be another registra-
tion day--,he fourth--and it will be
well for the large number of unregis-
tered citizens throughout the State,
especially here in Wilmington, to nke
advantage Of this opportunity. True,
there will be one more day for regis
tration-Saturday. October 2l-but it
is not wise IN a situation of this kind,
TO put of such an important duty 10
the last hour.
For some reason or other. this
years registration has been attended
with unusual apathy. Never before did
the third day-the limit for qualify
ing for primary election voung-close
with such a small proportion OF citi-
sons duly enrolled for voting at the
November election. Heretofore the
great bulk of those entitled to regis
tration have qualified during the first
three days.
II this apathy should continue
throughout tomorrow. it may be SCI
down as almost a certainty that those
who remain unregistered do not in
tend TO vote at the November cleo
tion. IL Is not reasonable TO suppose
they are putting of the matter unit
the final day. Registration Is a matter
of too much consequences to those whS
have an interest in elections to b'
hazarded by such unseemly delay.
The opportunity VIII be open TO
morrow. All who have any desire Il
vote In November should then get reg
istored.

THE TROUBLESOME TURK.

Lacking the courage to forcefully
and definitely settle with Turkey DUR
ing the peace negotiations. the Eu-
ropean Allies are now confronted with
this question in a much more threaten
ing form. Turkey has defeated Greece
in war and is now demanding the fruits
OF victory In the return OF former
Turkish territory ceded to Greece
after the World War. The Balkan al
lies Of Greece, doubtless with fond
memories Of the tremendous thrash
ing they administered TO Turkey a
few years before the World War. are
threatening to come to her relief in a
campaign to sweep the Turk from the
face Of the earth.
Another Balkan war would only
add to the general disturbance that
stin aflicts all Europe, and would
threaten disruption Of the relations
between the Allied nations which op-
posed Germany in the late conflict.
