TO SEEK NEW LAWS

New legislation along some old lines
which have not succeeded in the past,
for the proper protection of children
of Delaware, employed in industry
and any character Of labor in the
state, and which will be presented to
the members of the General Assembly
at their next meeting, is being con-
sidered by members of the Labor Com
mission of Delaware and the leading
spirits of welfare agencies which have
the protection of children at heart.
An eight-hour day and an educa-
tional standard showing the child to
have passed eight yearly grades or
completed the grammar course are
likely to be the basis for the legisla-
ton. One of these principles has fail
ed of passage twice when brought be-
fore the Legislature, but with the in
fluence of the experience of Delaware
manufacturers who have tried out the
employment of children IA years old
on an eight-hour day, the next effort,
it is hoped, will be more successful.

Delaware and
Coleman dupont

The following article, which ap-
peared in Mondays issue of the Will
mington Evening Juornal, is of inter
est in that it shows how Delaware's
Junior Senator is held in esteem by
residents of other States. The letter
written to our Wilmington daily is of
vital interest to Delawareans at the
| present time.
To the Editor of The Evening
Journal:
Sir: There came to my table copy
of The Every Evening, an afternoon
paper, of Wilmington, Delaware, of
date May Is, 1922.
The article claiming most attention
is an alleged satire on Coleman du-
Points candidacy for the United
States Senate, to succeed himself, as
member of the greatest delibera-
tive, legislation body in the world.
General DUPONT has honored the
State made memorable by the match
less Honorary Thomas F. Bayard'
while a Senator from that State.
Among them Hendricks, Sher-
man, Conkling, Blaine, Edmunds, Cor
don, Pugh, Beck, Carlisle, Morgan,
Reagan, Garland, Vance, Lamar, Vest
there stood Bayard, of Delaware,
equal to the best.
Read of Bayard and you think of
Delaware. Remember Bayard and
Delaware comes to mind. Bayard is
not remembered because he was born
in Delaware but Delaware emblazons
the pages of history because Bayard
was from Delaware.
Delaware bestowed on the United
States a benefit seldom equaled by
any, never excelled by any State, in
giving Thomas F. Bayard seat in
the United States Senate to use his
good brains, his loyal heart, his warm
sympathy to all peoples.
Never forgetting thewelfare of Del
aware he was always American in its
broadest, truest and most perfect
sense.
Coleman DUPONT is the peer of Bay
ard, and will prove his equal in state
craft through equal years of service.
Unfortunately the man who emf
nently succeeds awakes envy and
makes enemies. The tallest tree in a
forest is the test-target for the best
rifle SHOT, one to kill which he can not
reach, except at Iong-range.
From the serene, sun-kissed South
land, bordering on the Atlantic; from
the conservative, substantial middle
west, bordering on the Father of Wa
ters; from the mountains and plains
of the far west, bordering on the Pa
cific from the strip of empire reach
ing along and bordering on the Rio
Grande, men thanked Delaware for
sending them Coleman DUPONT, as
United States Senator.
These are troublous times. Strong
men are trembling and do not see
the clear path to individual and col
lective success. Public problems are
before us, before the world, to be
