SILENCE IN POLITICS.

President Harding vetoed tho Sol

had voted for in the Senate.
Joseph Walker. Lodges opponent
for the Republican nomination in the
Old Bay state. opposed the bonus.
In the primary election Lodge won.
a few days later the Republican
State Convention met at Boston; Mr..
Walker introduced a plank for the
platform indorsing the President veto
ing the Bonus bill
The convention threw the plank and
almost threw Mr.. Walker out of the
convention hail.
The platform was silent" on the
bonus. silent" on the Presidents veto
OF the Bonus bill and silent" on

CONFUSION IN SIGNALS.

In damage suit growing cut of an
automobile collision in New York tho
Judge decided that the driver who
gave false signal as to his inten-
ton was to blame for the accident.
and that the driver who ran into him.
while not without blame, could not be
held liable for the damage incident
to the collision. The controversy
arose over the use of n red "stop"
light. Although the light indicated that
the driver was going 10 stop, and the
defendant driver 50 construed his in
tention, he turned to the left and the
result was a collision.
1t is contended that driver who
has his car under control at all times
is never in danger of collision be-
cause OF tho failure OF driver ahead
TO give warning signals. This proba-
bly, accounts for the frequent care
lesssness of drivers about signals. The
driver who is careful about his sig-
nails, however. is likely to expect the
same degree OF courtesy and prudence
In ether drivers; and the fact that
the law prescrlbes a set of signals Is
further proof that they are regarded
as help to safe motoring.
As long as careful drivers find them
useful they arc likely to be regarded 40

WOMEN AND THE TARIFF.

II women are not Interested in the
Tarin Bill passed by Congress Just be-
fore its adjournment recently. they

ing TO pay the special interests In this
country a good many million dollars
as the result of this tariff measure.
Take for example tho matter of wo-
mems woolen dresses. Such goods
prior TO the institution Of this tariff
measure paid from 20 to 35 per cent
ad valorem. Under the Fordney- Nc
lumber Tariff bill the rate is from 741s
TO llb per cent ad valorem.
A conservative estimate places the
increased price which women must
pay for the things they buy and need
at about 10 per cent. Add this 10 per
cent TO everything that Is required for
household use and for women's an
parel and you get very good idea of

SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL BOSS.

SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL BOSS.
State Senator Edwin II. Ware of
Philadelphia, who died on Monday.
was notable as one OF the most sue
oessful products of partisan politics in
this country. He even outranked the
bosses OF Tammany Hall, New York
City's greatest partisan combination,
as Ware WAS the absolute dictator Of
the political machine which he had
created. II involved control of the
Republican party not only in Phila-
dclphia, but In the entire State of
Pennsylvania. He began life in humble
circumstances. and AS he gained po-
litical power he employed II to his
enrichment through the profitable
contracts for public work he was able
to secure from the city administrations
OF Philadelphia, which gave allegiance
to his leadership. It is set forth by one
Philadelphia newspaper that he con-
trolled, through the incumbents or
personally. these potent agencies:
A working majority in City
Council.
-Four of six Philadelphia Repre-
sentatives to Washington.
Five of eight State Senators.
Thirty-three OF forty-one As
sembly Representatives.
Recorder of Deeds office.
Receiver of Taxes office.
City Treasurer's office.
Register OF Wills Office.
Cooner-s office.
County Commissioners (maior-
ity).
Magistrates (majority).
Sealer OF Weights and Mea-
sures office.
The value OF city contracts
awarded to Senator Ware up TO
1921 is estimated at about s20,-
100000.
Thus It is seen how a brainy man
can become immensely rich and sur
prisingly powerful through partisan
politics. Ware was one of the most
influential and arbitrary political lead
eC IN the country. and he made his
| politics profitable. But in private life
he was most exemplary, charitable
he could well afford to bs-and deeply
religious. Which illustrates what
strange and inconsistent compound:
human beings may be.

Strong enough to do my task.
More than that need not ask;
Big enough to brave a blow.
Disappointment's touch OF woe,
Petty loss or SORROWS touch.
Without whimpering too much.
Clean of hand and free from shame,
Fighting hard. but when it's done
And the battles lost or won,
Coming home without regret,
Leaving none that I have mot
Who could say I'd failed to be
All that honor asked of me.
There are goals hope to gain.
But want them FREQ from stain.
Want TO earn them In tho light.
Want to make them mine by right;
And above the deeds I plan,
First Of all I'd play the man,
Though for glorious crowns l dare.

This Ia what I'd like to be:
Kind and brave and neighborly.
Big of heart and broad Of mind.

Keeping. though ! rise or fall.

DIR. LAYTON EXPLAINS.

Addressing a meeting at the Young
Aen's Republican Club. Monday night,
Rspz essntative Caleb r. Layton ex-
plathed at some length the reasons for
his opposition to the Dyer Anti
Lvnching bill, now pending in the
United States Senate after having
been passed by the House with DR..
Layton voting nay" Explanation Of
his hostility to this measure is made
necessary by the bitter opposition Of
Delaware Negroes to his reelection
on account of this vote.
DR.. Layton. It must b admitted,
gave a thoroughly satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, from q Democratic point
Of view. He spoke plainly and clearly
~ a Democrat OF the old States
Rights school, but not as a Rcpubli-
can. He opposed this bill which is sup
ported SO solidly by Negroes all over
the country, because 1t was, In his
opinion, a violation of the Federal
Constitution, and especially aimed at
overthrowtng the reserved rights OF
the States, Delaware included. He re-
ferred 10 advisers with whom he had
consulted. and who had sustained his
opposition to the measure. one of
whom, he said. was Judge William II.
Boyce, his Democratic opponent.
OF course Judge Boyce. as a Demo-
crat would oppose a measure 90 out
rageous In its overthrow OF the rights
OF the States. But the policy Of the
Republican party ever since the Civil
War has been one Of Capitalization.
Of the wip1ns out OF State rights, even
such n are expressly reserved to the
States by the Federal Constitution.
DR.. Layton. therefore. cannot lay
claim to be a thorough Republican
when he upholds such a strong con-
frmed Democratic policy as the rights
Of the States. His explanation can
satisfy neither the white Republicans
nor the Negroes. Nor can it draw 10
him Democratic support, as in all
other respects he has been an uncom-
promising Republican during all his
long political life. Politically, there
descript, and his candidacy cannot ap-
peal to any class of Delaware voters.

there are many mon who also are iun-
willing to impart this information.
But the Registration law Of Della
ware does not require any applicant
man or woman, to impnrt this some
what delicate information. All that Is
required IL information that thohppli-
cant Is above the age of 21 years, has

In the county six months. and in the
election district fifteen days prior TO
the election. That is all.
No woman. therefore. need refrain

from a fear that she will be required

SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.

In a blaze Of enthusiasm engen-
dered by complete success OF a worthy
cause, the campaign for a fund of
s250,00o In aid OF the Homeopathic
Hospital came to an end last evening.
Assembled at table at the Hotel du
Pont, the campaign workers and other
friends Of the hospital reioiced with
great zest over the complete accom-
plishment OF their purpose. And they
had a right 10 rejoice. for they had
done splendid work. The fund was
secured, not only to the limit, but
beyond.
No campaign Of this character had
moro appealing elements or a more
righteous cause than this one for the
benefit Of the Homeopathic Hospital.
This institution, from it's inception,
has done much for our city and for
suffering humanity. 1t has ever been
conducted with a view TO making a
hospital OF its character what II should
be. Hampered by lack of funds with
which to increase its facilities to the
desired point OF efficiency and useful
ness ~ aOpealed IN the peorle for their
generous cooperation. Nobly our
assurance that what they gave will be
able service.
