Dollar Acceptance Credit.
The volume of American bankers
the year 1921 by about $500, ,000, 900
to less than $500, ,000, 900, or to about
40 per cent under the $1,000, 900, 900
mark that was constant for the two
preceding years, according to the
current issue of Acceptance Bull
Ietfn," the official organ of the
American Acceptance Council
The causes for such a greatly
diminished use of dollar acceptance
credit must be found outside of the
shrinkage of goods and commodity
values, important as that element
was. Outer causes include the
stagnation of trade with countries
whose imports and exports normal
ly are financed through three or
four months credits and the
changed practice with respect to
exports to European countries
whose importers formerly provided
time credits but now more and more
are providing sight credits; that is,
paying dollars in New York against
documents or sight drafts on Eu-
rope.

GIVES UP TEACHING
TO RAISE CHICKENS

To enter the chicken raising bust
ness. II. Ray Wooten has resigned
as principal OF the Howard High
School. Mr.. Wootens only reason
for resigning is that he can make
more money raising chickens than
by teaching school.
Mr.. Wooten will enter his new
line at Hope. Indiana, the home OF
the famous Fishel strain of Plymouth
Rocks. II don't think could teach
Mr. Fishel much about breeding
chickens" Mr.. Wooten said. but 1
have a number OF original ideas
about their distribution"
Mr.. Wooten pointed out that about
IS per cent of the people who go
into the poultry raising business
fail, many of them because they
have not solved the problem of dis
tribution. He has been interested in
chicken raising for many years and
has devoted much time and study to
the problem of marketing poultry
and eggs, he said.
There isn't enough money in the
teaching business" he declared.
'and 1 believe 1 am entering a field
which affords a greater opportun-
ity."

4 Lesson for Sharpers
(From the New York Herald).

! Some Delaware apples recently
shipped to New York city ranged In
quality from bad TO very bad. They
have caused a severe loss to farmers
in that fine little agricultural State.
Unfortunately, the shippers who
send only good fruit suffer with the
less conscientious ones.
W. T. Derrickson. head of the
Delaware Division of Markets, says
the fruit growers of the State will
lose many thousands of dollars be-
cause of the bad name they acquir-
ed, for New York is one OF Dala-
wares most profitable fruit markets.
According TO the news dispatches,
there is something like consterna-
ton among the fruit growers affect
ed. The apple market in the State
is reported to be demoralized. Even
banks are showing signs of unessi-
ness, for some OF them have lent
money on this years apple crop.
The Delaware farmers who ship
ped bad apples have only themselves
to blame for their loss of trade.
They sent ungraded, specked apples,
even apples far advanced in decay,
to New York. This is not denied.
They seem TO have thought that New
Workers do not know good apples
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1922-06-24

from bad ones, or, at least, that they
are an easygoing lot of folks, who
VIII accept even bad apples and pay
the staggering prices for them
which good apples now bring. That
this is not the fact tho New York
health authorities have demonstrat-
ed moro than once with bad fruit of
various kinds, including apples, but
this seems to have escaped the no
tice OF these Delaware spectators.
Here Is a clear case in which the
greed of a few has done great dam
age to the many. The average of
Integrity among Delaware farmers
is as high as It is among the farm
ers of any other State. Not only has
this dishonest minority inflicted
money losses upon the honest ma
jority, but It has cast an unpleasant
reflection upon a large group of eiti-
zens who are entitled to respect.
In Justice TO the head OF the Della
ware State Division OF Markets IL
should be said that he is doing all
he can to correct things. He has
issued a call to Delaware farmers to
mend their ways and stop trying to
sell bad apples to New Workers. But
II will take a long time to repair
the damage which has been done.

Using Labor Unions to
Promote Socialism
CFrom the National Republican,

Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the
Railway Labor Board, in a letter
published Wednesday. calls attention
to the fact that leaders of the rail-
way brotherhoods have deliberately
distorted the wage rulings of the
board, and that they are agitatlng
for a tie-up in transportation based
upon misleading statements unjust
to the public"
Until recent years the great rail-
way brotherhoods were under the
leadership of level-headed men who
worked consistently for the good OF
the workers without mixing their
program with politics or outside
propaganda of any sort. Today the
brotherhoOds are, unfortunately, un-
der the control OF men with whom
the welfare of the workers seems a
secondary consideration. The spread
of racial ideas. class consciousness
and hatred of the employer and OF
business enterprise In general seems
to be the chief end of their activi-
ties.
The leaders OF the brotherhoods
have tied the organizations up with
the Plumb Plan League, an organi-
cation which proposed to sovio.ize
the railroads. The funds of these or
CARNATIONS have been voted TO en-
sure the receipt by every member
of the extremely radical literature
issued by this league, including a /
weekly publication controlled nv so-
cialistic radicals of the most ex-
treme type. Through this publica-
ton the men are being appealed 10 |
along lines destructive of sane or
patriotic thought. The government
is portrayed as an instrument of OPP
preston. Capital is lampooned as
the implacable enemy of labor.

or the four amendments to the
Constitution proposed by the con.

Of Labor the first says Congress
shall have authority TO pass a ma
tional child labor law. Few will
venture to oppose this amendment
openly. The recent decision OF the
Supreme Court seems TO make il

The second proposed amendment
makes unconstitutional any law or
judicial decision which denies to
men and women the right to organ
lie to better their conditions or to
bargain collectively. This amend
ment is unnecessary. Congress now
has authority TO define what is per-
missible combinations. Witness the
Sherman and the Clayton acts.
The third proposed amendment
provides that when the Supreme
Court invalidates a law the same

a two-thirds majority of Congress.

SUPPORT THE TRAFFIC SQUAD

ID ECAUSE OF the heavy and varied flow Of vehicles
- through the streets of Wilmington these par
tcuarly trying days upon the traffic policemen. De-
spite that may said that never since the Traffic
Squad first formed. have those discharged
their unpleasant but exceedingly important duties more
satisfactorily than they doing today
Slowly but surely Sergeant Devensh, the head OF the
squad has built in personnel morale and efficiency
until today both merits and commands the respect of
the public resident and transient.
The policy pursued by Sergeant Oevenish and his
does suit of course. those automobile and truck
drivers who would like to override law every
ordinance and every regulation that has been framed
public comfort and safety 1t does suit
however that largely preponderating section OF the
public which believes in the fundamental principle OF
safety and which detests the speed hend the

service dispensed pleasantly when pleasantly will avail
but dispensed with vigor when anyone at the wheel at
tempts hazardous enterprise of "bufng the cop"
Good and thoughtful citizens Of Wilmington should
support Sergeant Devenish and his by word of
mouth and by action whenever conditions such
support.
The traffic policeman stands for big principle in our
social life. 1t is that person has right endanger
another person the pursuit OF either bust

Poor Senators Against Bonus
(From the New York Heraid)

Senator Laid, OF North Dakota,
who wants to give to the bonus
grabbers all they demand, wants to
give It to them right away and
wants to give 1t to them in printing
press money, says:
at is my belief that most of
this opposition to the soldiers
compensation has been fathered
by the big banks"
1t will be news to the coDscien-
tious, patriotic and fearless Senator
Borah, Idaho, that he is Influenced
or could be Influenced by the big
banks of Wall Street or any other
part of the country. 1t will be news
to him that financial interests of any
kind or of any locality have the
sympathy with his always boldly
Independent course. And Senator
Borah, a poor man, serving his
country in Congress at heavy per-
sonal sacrifice. is a powerful and
irreconcilable opponent of the whole
vicious bonus scheme.
Another man, Senator williams of
Mississippi. with no financial con-
facts, delivered in the Senate only
three days ago a burning indictment
of the bonus hunters and of the
political bidders for the votes, of !
bonus hunters. Senator Williams
also is a poor man, compelled after
years of work in public office to |
