have Joined in severe denunciation of
the recent Republican Congress for
Its remarkable record OF inefYiciency.
Now he adds to his offending by ad-
vocating policy that would utterly
repudiate what President Harding was
SO lavishly praised for so doing. Pro-
paredness for war and peace confer
ences are absolutely incongruous. But
Secretary Weeks is for wnr, notwith-
standing the entire world is nov In
need OF absolute peace. Truly. Rcpub-
lican leaders are furnishing tho best
arguments against an Endorsement of
the Republican national administra-
ton at tho election.

EXCUSES.
Copyright 1922 by Edgar A. Guest


Oh, there never was a failure but
could readily explain
How disaster overlook him and his
efforts all were vain,
And the tramp upon the highway and
the beggar On the street
Can give a dozen causes and excuses
for defeat.
The crook that lands in prison says he
never had a chance,
And can justify his downfall through
the web OF circumstance:
The deserter and the gutter and the
coward and the cheat
Have excuses for their conduct which
they readily repeat.
When duty crossee pleasure. when
we've tried TO win and loet,
We dread the blame and censure and
we fear to pay the cost.
So we offer explanations which shall
hide the wrong we do
And we hope the world Will take them,
but we know that they're untrue.
The excuse is always handy, It is
always standing by
To hurry Us to failure and TO stop us
when we'd try,
II makes quitting very easy. for IT
whispers Whats the use
OF fighting to the finish when you've
got a good excuse?
Son OF mine, beware excuses. They
are always waiting near
To betray you into folly and their
words are sweet TO hear;
They will counsel easy living TIL your
real chance is gone,
But there are no good excuses, so be
deaf TO every one.

EFFECT OF A BREWEB's BLAST.

For q long time our country remain
ed Quiescent under the astounding
situation OF the government Of the
United States. through one of its
prominent and important official agen-
cies. nasranly violating one Of its
lawn. While the government was ex-
pending millions OF dollars in enforc-
ing the Volstead law by running down
violators on land and bringing them
TO deserved punishment. the Shipping
Board was selling Intoxicating liquors
on its ships. not only carrying stores
OF liquors on the high seas, but bring
Ing them to our ports and holding
them there between trips, in positive
violation Of the law. Also, the Ship
ping Board insolently exploited its
law1ess course by prominently adver-
Using sales OF liquor on its ships as
an inducement TO the public to patron

SAWYER TO STAY.

1t was announced from Washington,
yesterday, that President Harding re-
fused to accede to the demand Of the
American Legion that Brigadier- Cen
eral Charles Z. Sawyer be asked to
resign his position as chairman OF the
Federal Board Of disqualification, or
be removed. SO Sawyer Will stay.
A pcremptory refusal TO accede TO
the demand of this body, representa-
tive OF those who did 80 much for the
country during tho World War, will
not be satisfactory. The American
Legion charges that the Sawyer ad-
ministration OF disqualification work
has not only proved unsatisfactory,
but sadly detrimental to the poor VIC
Tins of the war for whom the govern
ment is endeavoring TO care In a man
ner BETTING their condition. Coming
from such a source. and containing
SO much weight, the situation thereby
created certainly demands serious con-
sideraton rather than abrupt dis
missal
The country owes much 70 our col
ders and Is willing that everything
required should be done. Public senti-
ment seems opposed to bo-
nus, but IL demands that everything
be done for the relief OF wars vic
Tins. II Sawyer is not doing his part
TO this end, no should not be retained
in office.

WHAT ABOUT THE TREATY.

1t has not been long since partisan
supporters OF the Harding admins
tration were loud In their praises of
the Presidents notable accomplish
ment" In bringing about n treaty ar
rangement for a reduction of naval
armament. While the entire country
knew his Conference on the Limitation
OF Armaments was but a weak subter-
fuge for the League OF Nations, the
treaty entered into by the nations
participating in the Washington gath
ering was hailed as tremendous
step IN the direction of world peace"
And lavish was the partisan praise
bestowed upon President Harding for
his grand work"
Now tho country knows how fail
ure has attended that unusual and
somewhat remarkable conference of
nations for a most laudable purpose.
There has been no "scrapping" OF war
vessels in consequence of the treaty
there negotiated. except as to few
ancient ones that would have been
discarded in any event. The treaty
has not yet been ratified by the gov
ernments represented at the confer
ence. 1t is regarded as practically q
dead letter.
And now comes Secretary Of War
John w. Weeks, with big club In his
hands, dealing savage blows at the
lifeless remains OF the Armaments
Conference Treaty by fervid appeals
for preparedness" In public speeches
he earnestly dilates upon our help
less condition" and sounds the warning
of putting our country In a state OF
preparedness for war. With Eu-
ropean nations bankrupt from the ter
rible drains OF the World War. with
no other nation in all the world pre-
pared to assume an aggressive atti-
tude towards the united States, the
Secretary of War fercely denounces
silly pacihsts" for their opposition
| to preparedness. AS arrogantly as
the late Kaiser he insists that pre-.
paredness for war is the best protec.
ton against war. The entire worlt
now knows the utility of this argu.
ment.
But the most unkind element OF
Secretary Weeks preachment Is thai
it kicks and cuffs the corpse of Presi
dent Harding's pet project, his "granC
accomplishment" and disfigures tn,
pitiful remains beyond recognition
The Weeks policy is In direct defianc,
Of the Armaments Conference Treaty

VISIBLY WORRIED.

Republican newspapers show plain
signs OF worriment over campaign
conditions in Delaware this year.
While they are making confident
claims, the element OF "bluff' is con-
spicuous. They no doubt realize tho
drift OF public sentiment Is away from
the Republican party. in State and
nation. and that indications point to n
general Democratic victory In both.
One of tho most significant reasons
for this Republican worriment is the
vigorous and effective manner in
which the Democratic campaign in
Delaware IL progressing. Democratic
speakers are presenting to the voters
such vivid and truthful reports of the
evil conditions that have attended Re
publican administration in both State
and country. that Republican orators
and papers can make no adequate, de-
fence. The papers have adopted
policy OF silence in respect OF Demo-
cratic meetings. giving thom brief
reports or none at all, but they cam
not ignore the effects of the Demo-
critic speeches. Especially Sare they
worried over the probable effect of
Senator walsh's splendid address at
the High School Auditorium, in which
he declared. and sustained bis asser-
ton by proof, the Harding admins
tration had lost the good Will Of the
people
Senator Walsh is denounced for this
truthful assertion, and attempts are
made to refute his significant declara-
ton. But Senator Walsh dealt only
with facts and supported his asser-
tions by the open declarations of
prominent leaders Of the Republican
party.
The registration, especially IN Will
mington, also brings alarm TO Repub-
lican party headquarters. Tie total
registration for this city is s5,605,
while nearly $1,000 voters cast their
ballots at the election OF 1920, Here
is great falling of. and there is rea-
son to believe tho major portion of
those who refrained from registra-
ton are Republicans,
Governor Cox, Democratic candidate
for President received 1896 votes
in Wilmington at the 1920 election.
President Harding received 26.S42
But it is known that many dissatis-
fed Democrats voted the Republican
ticket at that election The Rep"hli-
cans even carried the Democratic
Second Senatorial district by a major
ity of about $500, But at the city
election the following June. the Demo-
Gratis regained this district by a safe
majority
There is every reason TO believe
that at the November election he
Democratic ticket Will receive in Will
I,ington many more than the nearly
1900 votes that were cast for Gov
ernor Cox in 1920. And this result
would come very close to a Demo-
cratic majority in the city.
The Democratic cause in Delaware
this year appeals strongly 10 tho
people, especially TO thoughtful and
independent voters. The Republican
cause, does not 80 appeal. but is re-
pellant. Tho Democratic outlook,
therefore, ts bright.
