THE PLEASURE SEEKERS.

"ris fine to walk with merry folk, It's
good TO sing with glee.
7r!s sweet to laugh in fellowship but
life demands it's fee;
And man may dance and man may
laugh and walk with idle men
But when the days of pleasure pass
what then, what then, what then;
The reveIers are light Of heart and
cares thing they scorn,
They wave their hands at sober men
who trudge to work at morn;
They pass the burden-bearer by and
mock the dreams they hold,
But wasted are their years of life wher
pleasures fires grow cold.
The laughter and tho jest are sweet
but man must build and toll,
And man must bridge the mountain
streams and till the virgin soil:
And none may dance his years away
on pleasure solely bent
And hope at last TO come TO age re
spected and content.
Tis good to walk with laughing meT
and dance TO music gay,
'Tis sweet to gather pleasures hour:
and fling them all away;
But though he be OF humble birth, anS
though he be a king.
4 man must bear the cares of life an,
do some useful thing.

campaign. although only about fifteen
hundred were present-Secretary of
War John w. Weeks reiterated the
time-worn appeal: Stand by tho Presi-
dent and the Republican party.
Secretary Weeks said President
Harding needs Republicans at Wash
ington." What cormorant he must
be. With Congress Republican in
both branches-overwhelm so in
the House-his spokesman says he
needs Republicans" 1t makes one
wonder how many he needs" in order
to secure Endorsement from a party
majority in Congress, something that
has been refused him by tho present
Republican Congress.
And in the face of grave questions
OF local concern, involving effective
administration instead OF incapacity
careful expenditure instead of ex-
travnganoe, and n reduction of taxes
instead of an increase, the people OF
Delaware are asked to vote merely
to indorse President Harding and the
Republican party. We shall SEQ.

WHY NOT AN INJUNCrIONi

The Attorney General OF the United
States has made certain rulings on tie
Volstead act which completely upset
the Treasury Departments old Pro-
hibition regulations for the enforce
ment OF the act against foreign and
domestic shipping while in American
waters. He has been sustained in
these rulings by a District Court of the
United States. But the Treasury De-
partment announces a purpose in part
tC ignore the law as so interpreted and
in part TO observe II pending n decision
OF the United States Supreme Court
which Is certainly months and maybe
years away.
What is the authority of Abe
Treasury Department for a course sc
extraordinary? How does 1t happen
to feel bound by the Attorney Gen
eral and the District Court al inst
liquors on American ships within the
three-mile limit and not bound by the
same authorities against liquors or
foreign ships within the three mile
limit? why should 1t discard the old
regulations as affecting American
ship at the word OF the Attorney Con
eral and the District Court and refuse
to substitute new ones for other ships
at the same word?
Ordinarily an administration holds
itself bound in law enforcement to fol
low its Attorney General on what the
la means when his opini has beer
asked But in this case we have hi
opinion made to walt upon that 81
Federal court and then ignored II
large part until other Federal courts
have been heard from. Mr.. Speaker

administration at?

DO NOT FAIL TO VOTE.

No citizen OF Delaware who is duly
registered should fail 10 go to the polls
tomorrow and vote. There are too
many laggards already In respect of
this important duty OF citizenship in
the large humber that refrained from
registering this year.
Having duly qualified themselves,
these registered citizens should exer-
else the privilege of franchise. And
they should exercise il in careful.
intelligent and conscientious manner,
no matter how many split tickets this
may mean for the election officers 10
count.
Majority rules in our elections, and
therefore it is important that the
majority should clearly represent the
Judgment of all the qualified electors.
This cannot be unless all go to the
polls and vote.
The polling places in Wilmington
will open between and 7.30 o'clock
in the morning, most of them, in all
probability, right on the minute of I.
They will remain open continuously
until O'Clock in the evening. This is
ample time for the purpose. but as
many voters as possible should make
hours.

IMPROVED BANK BANDITS.

But still more interesting as a re-

tion OF the screw-door safe, is the
revival of bank banditry, which was
originated by such robbers as the
Jameses, just after the Civil War
and was driven out by the telegraph

a plase of this restoration that will
interest inventors is the belated adop-

PERSISTENT AND CONSISTENT

From first 10 last in the Delaware
political campaign now closing, the
plea OF the Republican party has been
both persistent and consistent.
II struck but a single note: Stand
by President Harding and the Repub-
lican party.
In addition to local speakers, those
of national note sounded this partisan
plea. Even members of the Harding
administration urged it upon the vot-
ers of Delaware. Secretary of the
Navy Denby, in a pleasing address at
the Majestic Theatre, interlarded an
array of pleasing jokes and facts
about the navy with the plea to stand
by the President and the party.

DEFECTIVE IMMIGRATION LAWS.

Everyone familiar with the subject
of immigration and labor will indorse
the statement of Judge Gary at the
meeting OF the American Iron and
steel Institute that il is time for modi-
flying the immigration laws.
Conditions Lave changed since the in
dustrial depression following the end
of the war; now there is "A shortage
Of labor and there ia no prC Cspect OF

for correcting the evils Of the old i'm
migration statutes. This country has
had moro than enough Of the Rcds
and other undesirable classes OF Eu-
crop. But it has use for large num-
bers OF foreigners who are industrious
and law-respecting and VINO intend to
become citizens. and the sooner Com
gress realizes this fact the better II
will be.
The wedding out of the undeslra blea
who want to come TO tho United States
for the purpose OF spreading the per-
nicious doctrines OF Bolshevism should
be done by representatives of America

qualifications Of every prospective i'm
migrant should be looked into before
the sailing of the steamer. II is posi-
bic of course that inspectors occasion

In a paddock gate. Behind him stands
q tallyman to make a notch in stick
for every hundred as he shouts them
out. There is no hawthorn to be seen
and no dale but the bush stretching
from horizon to horizon. Telling q
tale of eight thousand or more Ia no
theme for an idyl; Theocritus him
self would have spurned 1t. Yet there
