COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

II is most unfortunate that the
subject OF compulsory vaccination OF
public school pupils should have arisen
so soon after the formal opening OF
the school year. But this makes It
all the more necessary for the Board
of Education TO endeavor to effect a
satisfactory settlement without delay.
The law authorizes compulsory
measures for vaccination as q pre-
caution against smallpox epidemics.
On the other hand. many parents and
guardians are opposed to vaccination
and resist all efforts for It's foroibae
imposition.
1t is not surprising this objection
should prevail. Notwithstanding the
undoubted proof that vaccination has
proved OF enormous value in mitigat-
ing the serious and often fatal effects
OF smallpox visitations. There have
been far too many instances OF dan
gerous blood affections attending
promiscuous vaccinations to make the
process altogether acceptable. And
many persons have. no faith whatever
in vaccination.
But II would be a great evil to hav,
pupils driven from the schools fol
this trouble. There should be some
arrangement that would prevent sucf
serious condition. It is up TO th'
Board OF Education to settle the con
troversy, and there are many who be
l.eve it would be the part Of wisdom
TO encourage general vaccination a
far as possible, but not proceed to tn
arbitrary extent of expulsion in orde
to compel compliance with the com
pulsory vaccination order.

We should havo a good business fall

province. Every one will be encour-
aged by the fact that the great coal
mining industry Is become stable; and
that 1t has future months OF unprece-

The farmer has had bountiful hnr-

blessed with splendid crops; and the
maritime provinces are not behind
them In relative quantities and quail

country to be optimistic.

UP TO THE PRESIDENT.

a blind and insistent majority in
each branch OF Congress having
passed the Soldiers Bonus bill without
making specific provisions for raising
the revenue necessary to moot tho
tremendous expenditure it's operation
would involve, 1t is now up to Presi-
dent Harding to settle It's fate. He
may allow It to become a law, or he
may defeat It by his veto. The House
Of Representatives might override n
veto, but the final vote in the Senate
indicates the vote necessary to this
end could not be secured In that body
The President, therefore, is the arbiter
OF the bills fate.
President Harding has said posi-
lively he would veto Soldiers Bonus
bill that failed 10 include revenue
provisions. Failure to make his word
good by yielding to the insensate
clamor OF certain interests for this
legislation would convict him Of in
sincerity. It undoubtedly is hard
for President to set himself
against the expressed Will OF the
representatives OF his political
party in tho Congress. but 4.
will be much harder for him If be sur
renders against what must be his
honest opinion and sense Of duty.

LAW AND MORALITY.

The Joint commission on home and
family life Of the clergy and laity OF
the Episcopal Church has just COM
pleted a report by no means fattering
in It's findings as related to the present
trend of American family life.
It is refreshing to note that these
honest churchmen do not put forward
mere fault-flnding paper or, in the
same breath, ask for repressive and
meddling laws as a sure cure for what
ails the moCals Of the American
end
They ask for no laws to regulate the
morals of the people. They do not
shirk the responsibility Of the church.
whose office 1t is to safeguard the
moral welfare OF society. They show
no disposition to shift their steward
ship TO the police courts or the di-
voice courts. The report accepts for
the Episcopal Church its obligation to
educate the people up to self willed
moral integrity duty and a field
which the church has made its owr
and through which it has contributed
| its greatest gifts to Christianity ant
| civilization.

senseoof easy divorce is today power.

RIPPLING RHYMES.
by Walt Mason.
THE QUACK.

With us he deity mingles,
has his cures for shingles, for
bunions and the hives. From
evils that attack us he'll
promptly set us free; he'll stop
the pains that rack us, however
fierce they be. When we are
we'll and hearty we laugh at all
his claims; he is a brazen
smarty, and low down are his
games. He learned TO cure dis
eases away in Yucatan, or
where the arctic freezes the
whiskers off q man. Some des-
ert chieftain taught him his
wondrous, healing scheme, or
maybe angels brought him his
knowledge in a dream. We call
him a deceiver, when we are
feeling fine, when we've no
burning fever, or kinks along
the spine. And then at last
we're ailing. and getting worse
each day, and pink pills, I'M
availing, seem made to throw
away. Our doc, Whangdoodle
Baxter, can't help us much, II
seems; then we would have the
quackster, with all his hop joint
dreams. His tales of In5un wiz
nrds who taught him how to
cure, when we have aching giz-
yards, don't seem so wild or
poor. His yarns OF Chinese
scholars who showed him how
to heal will likely get our dol
lars when collie makes us squeal.
The marvellous allures us when
pains within US buzz. and so the
faker cures us, or makes us
think he does.

LIGHT REGISTRATION.

Despite the bes, efforts OF inter-
estcd political workers to bring out
the reluctant citizens. the results OF
the fourth days registration for the
general election, on Saturday last,
were very Disappointing. The reluc-
tant ones refused TO be drawn TO the
registration places. The total for the
day was about 1000 additional names.
bringing the total for the four days
to about $1,000.
At the Presidential election OF 1920
the official vote OF Wilmington was:
For Harding. 26.s4?: for Cox. 1925;
total. as.777. Votes for the other tickets
and ballots rejected for illegal mark
ines would bring the total Of voters
to about $4,000. Thus 1t will be seen.
BY comparison. that tho registration in
Wilmington to date is about $4,000
short OF the total number OF citizens
who are entitled TO qualify for voting.
Il il not probable that more than
onc-fourih OF this hacking number
viii apply for registration on the fifth
and final day--Saturday. october 81.
In the past the rule has been that
fully three-fourths OF the total vote
went on the registration books during
the first three days Of registration,
but this rule is not holding good in the
present instance. Only some great and
moving political issue. Unexpectedly
coming to the fore. would incite TO a
more general registration on the last
day and this is not expected.
II must. therefore. be set down as
a fact that the people of Wilmington
are unusually apathe,,c about the
coming election, even for an OF year
Many are not disposed TO qualify
themselves for voting. And there are
indications Of like indifference in some
OF the rural districts Of New Castle
county.
This is not surprising. There i:
great dis satisfaction among the people
on account OF the bad record OF th'
re,gning administrations. national
State and county. The political part,
responsible for these unsatisfac,or.
and costly conditions is bound 10 SUI
fer heavily az the election. by reason
of this Indifferent portion OF the elec
torate.

During the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson. tho Democratic Congress
drove The lobby completely out Of
Warrington. But with tho restoration
OF = Republican Congress tho doors
were opened and tho insidious lobby
was welcomed back with open arms.
And now we SEQ how tho coal lobby.
under a Republican administration,
can influence a Republican Congress
against the interests Of tho people,
even in such an important matter an
the cost Of coal. The interests Of the
people are ignored. while the demands
OF a selfish lobby are given all con-
sideration.

GOMPERs' DIFFUSION.

1t II probable that when Samuel
Gompers and other labor leaders speak
OF enforced labor" as an issue In the
present industrial situation they are
looking to what may come out Of the
strike rather than the questions now
involved In 1t. They fear, perhaps,
the reference made by President Hard
ing to the necessity Of a law with
teeth In It" for the prevention OF any
recurrence OF tho conditions that now
exist.
Without doubt the country Is consld-
ering n measure OF some sort to meet
such situations IA now confront It.
Members OF Congress- and lawmakers
in the various States are discussing
the advisablity OF laws. both Federal
and State. that will Insure better
adjustment OF wage controversies than
the strike offers. Kansas Is the only
State that has acted up to the present
moment. and the conditions brought
about by the strike OF the railroad
shopmen have turned the attention Of
the other States and Of the Federal
lGovernment as we'll to tho Kansas
idea
But In no quarter. unless II be In the
ranks OF those employers who are as
radical in their views as are tho rad
icals among labor. Ia there a thought
or a suggestion Of enforced labor"
No American believes in the theory
or the possibility OF an infringement
OF the right of any laboring man to
contract his labor as he pleases and
TO cease work when he pleases. The
Kansas Industrial Court law spe-
officially provides that nothing in the
act shall be construed as an infringe
ment on the right Of a laboring man
to quit his work when he is displeased
with his wages or working conditions
or TO change his occupation at any
time for tho purpose OF lettering his
lcondition.
The Kansas law allows collective
work individually. or even collectively
flor the reasons mentioned above
But an individual worker, or a grouI
of workmen, quitting the job for any
reason, may not conspire to Undue,
Others to quit for the purpose %
stopping or Gripping the industr.
in which they are engaged. Workmel
may quit the Job, but they may no
take others with them. mere ly becaus
they themselves are dissatisfied. The,
may not threaten or intin,idate thos
who desire to remain. The law provide
that workers not satisfied with tn
wages paid or working condition
imposed, may appeal to the industrial

The strike Of the railroad shopmen
seems 10 have been fairly well set
tied, and a threatened strike by other
sections Of railroad labor averted. by
special agreements entered into by the
railroad arrangements and the labor
unions, without regard TO the United
States Railroad Labor Board In fact.
the latter agency, created by law but
lacking the power TO make It's man
dates effective, seems TO have been en-
tirely repudiated by the employers and
the representatives Of the strikers, in
separate "over the table" agreements.
Much has been said in the way Of
favorable comment about this manner
Of settlement, but time alone will tell
whether the move was on Of wisdom
II both sides respect the arrangements
that have been entered into, we'll and
good; but there has been too much
evidence in the past Of disruption of
such agreements by both sides, es-
pecially by hot-headed and arrogant
leaders OF organized labor. that they
cannot be said TO possess the assuring
element Of stability.
There is no doubt a tribunal estab-
lished by law, with provisions for full
and fair hearings over every contro-
versy and the power to enforce its
conclusions by measures Of adequate
punishment, would much better NEE,
the continually recurring controver-
Size between labor and its employers
And It ought to be possible TO PRO
vide such tribunal.
