WHY DID 1T DEF

There was much surprise in State
newspaper circles. last week, by An
editorial announcement in the Della
ware Leader OF Laurel that with its
current issue II would cease publica-
ton and abandon its place IN the
ranks OF the rural press OF Delaware.
As = newspaper II stood we'll IN its
community. and It's swan song" was
entirely unexpected, As It was sup
posed 70 represent certain political in
terests which would not let expense
stand In tho way Of It's continuance
az Ions As they had need for ,ts ser
vices. The natural presumption, there
fore, Is that these interests had no
longer any use for its services. and
that without their aid Il could not ee;
along.
AS We have said. the Delaware
Leader was a very good rural paper.
and its character and purpose. so FAR
as those Immediately connected with
its publication are concerned. may be
inferred from the following excellent
editorial which, under the heading OF
"A SUSSEX Product" appeared in It's
Anal issue:
Just where do we find another
type Of man who quite measures
UP 20 our standard In Sussex?
We are not speaking OF the ex-
ception or the specially picked
group but OF the ordinary, every
day type OF Sussex citizen. We
refer to the Sussex countian whom
you meet on the highway and by
way. The man who finds time TO

try road; the man who find. time

crop when his neighbor Is unable;

, willing 10 do that little kindness.
, on which you can place no value.

> rich In her type OF men. Those

Editorial Comment
Lyman Abbott, Son of New EngIan

/
(Boston Transcript
The death of DIR. Lyman Abbott. in
his S7th year. removes a man who had
won distinction as a publicist and a
preacher more than so years ago, and
who since then has welded a great in
hucnce as a journalist and as the au-
thor Of many books in current and dis
cussion that have laid hold of the
minds of thinking Americans. The
Outlook magazine is his child, and to
it, under his auspices, an especial
prominence and influence was lcnt by
the articles of Theodore Roosevelt as
contributing editor. DIR. Abbott was
a man of remarkable brain and of the
Puritan conscience; patriot always,
and a friend and consistent advocate
of peace who believed that peace was
more often obtained through prepared
ness and national vigilance than
through contempt of the means of de-
fence.
DR.. Abbott was one of the men
through whom New England blood,
New England culture and New Eng
land principle spoke to the rest of
the country. and spoke with all it's an
cient force of brain and conscience. He
was the offspring of a most remark
able family. His father, of Massa-
chusotts stock. born al Hallowell, Me-,
in 1903, was Rev. Jacob Abbott. the au-
thor of the Rollo Books. which for
many years came next to the Bible as
an authority for the rising generation
Of America. Jacob Abbott himself
was brother of John s. C. Abbott, the
author of an immense number of vol
umes in which much world history was
popularized; upon his History of Ma
poleon Bonaparte" the average Amer
lean may be said to have founded his
ideas of French history in the 10th
century. Jacob Abbott was also the
brother of Rev. Samuel Abbott, who.
with John S. c. Abbott. maintained
famous school at Pennington. Me. ia
cob Abbott became the founder of the
Eliot Congregational church in Rox-
bury in 1884, after serving for a time
as professor of natural philosophy and
mathematics at Amherst College; and
here in Boston he also founded the Mt
Vernon school for girls
Roy. Jacob Abbott. himself one Of a
family Of gifted brothers. was the
father Of still more remarkable fam
lily of sons. They were benjamin

David Lloyd George

w oStJ
Europe will probably be Profound
ly affected by the retirement of David
Lloyd George, prime minister Of
Great Britain. His personality and
his plans have been dominant in
European affairs since the Armistice.
The foreign policy of every country
has been affected by his policies and
his methods of executing them. The
British government has been Lloyd
George, with all his whims and
changcableness reflected in the acts
of the government.
Like all great men, Mr.. Lloyd
George is both simple and subtle.
During the crisis of the war, when
the fate of the British empire hung
in the balance, he was magnificently
confident and courageous. His opti
mism inspired the entire British ma
ton and stiffened the fibre of the
British army. He gave strength to
France, also. He found ways and
means to carry on the fight when
every resource seemed to have failed.
His daring methods took the breath
away. He crashed his way through
traditions and precedents, seized
powers which were never before
welded even by entire ministries.
and singlc-hande directed the ac-
tivities of the government. Field
Marshal Haig was an inferior man,
petty, jealous, stubborn and insub-
ordinate. LLOYD George could not re-
move him because the popular
imagination had clothed Haig with
qualities whichshe did not possess;
| but the prime minister forced Haig to
accept measures which finally won
the war, notably the appointment of
Marshal Foch as generalissimo of the
! allied armies. Haig opposed this to
the best of his ability, but fortunate
ly his ability was not equal to Lloyd
Georges. In the nick of time, after
Haig's blunders had nearly given
| Germany the victory. Lloyd George
pockcted British pride and saved the
empire.
! In the peace conference Mr.. Lloyd
/ George was a cunning stratcgist. He
obtained for the British empire all
that was desired. l"c induced Prcsi-
don't Wilson to believe that the ques-

1.-The vision and the faculty divine"
One such, Doctor Lyman Abbott, has
passed on When is considered the
contribution which he was able to
make to clarity and sanity of thought
throughout his long and extremely
useful life one instinctively and ap-
prehensively wonders how the line
may close up and go on with tile
leaders fallen.
He was progressive in spirit but
marvclously adept in sitting the
grain from the chaff, in appraising
the value. If he possessed the New
England conscience he likewise had
the same sound sense which we like
to think characteristic of our people
Firm in his faith in the essentials he
had vision of scope to include them
, in a glorious conception, but he never
lost sight of those essentials and
those who were readers of his
thought We're never permitted to
overlook them, or become dishearten-
cd because of them. A wonderful
achievement, this.

0NE MIGHT term this little
m model coat dress and yet
its style is entirely distinctive in
comparison with this seasons type
of women's coat dress, as it gives
the effect of a three-piece suit
more than of a coat.
Navy serge and a wool plaid of
navy, white, and black are the
materials illustrated, the plain
serge forming the jacket effect and
the plaid the straight box-plaited
skirt and center-front portion of
the waist.
Black braid bindings, bound
buttonholes, and self-covered but
tons provide trimming for the
jacket, while the plaid allies with
"ready-made" accessories, a black
leather belt and a jaunty tie Of
black silk.
A collar of white linen rolled
to form becoming frame for the
face completes this costume.
The high alpine crown on this
medium-sized felt poke is a de-
cidedly new feature in children's
hats. A row of bar stitching out
lines the brim edge, the base and
the top OF the side crown.

The protest of the post office de-
partmcnt against the use of the
small-sizc envelopes and cards in the
Christmas season is a reasonable one
and should be needed. Not only is
such mail delayed because it cannot
be handled efficiently but it causes
delay to other mail. In a foretaste of
the Christmas spirit let's resolve not
to offend in this trifling way.
