DELAWARE AND DICKINSON

MAY good fortune attend the University OF Delaware
w football team which is combating the Dickinson
College team on Harlan Field, this city, this afternoon.
The Delaware boys had been working up to this star
game OF the season. When they went out on the
gridiron today It was with the nxed determination to do
everything in their power to overcome the odds arrayed
against them and TO humiliate their athletic opponents.
In that they were supported by a student body that
stood 100 per cent. behind the varsity team.
Coach McAvoy had done his utmost to work the Della
ware team up to a state OF efficiency that should make
for victory. We have no doubt whatever that, no matter
what the final score may be. the Dickinson men will
know that they encountered worthy opponents. with
high ideals OF Intercollegiate sport.
Dickinson has in its squad older men than are those
who represent Delaware. That factor and Others in
volved give to the visitors from Pennsylvania an initial
advantage that Delaware must overcome in the early
stages OF the game II it is to achieve victory.
However. be the result what 1t may, the friends OF the
University Of Delaware rest content that Coach McAvoy
has done the best he can with the material at hand in
the matter Of training; that the members OF the squad
are doing the best they can in the matter OF play. and
that the student body Is responding nobly to the call
that has been made upon It's morale at the close Of
the football season Of 1929.

ClemencedU? s Fine Reception
(From the New York Herald)

The popular reception OF Clemen-
ceau is all that was predicted and
hoped. He has had the center Of the
stage since his arrival. His every
move, his lightest word, have beer
watched and listened for. His early
rising. his heroic breakfast OF onion
soup and hard-boiled eggs, are mat
ters Of Joyous comment in every
household. Where the Tiger rides
the crowds acclaim him. The chill
dren come out OF school by the hun
dreds OF thousands to view the
mighty Frenchman. Their elders are
jealous Of the privilege OF seeing and
hearing the man who took the helm
of France when he was 76 years old
and who now at 81, displays all the
enthusiasm of youth as ne pleads his
country's cause.
America likes Clemenceau be-
cause, like most nations, 1t likes
strong men and particularly strong
men that are picturesque. This
country in its youth had plenty OF
picturesque statesmen-characters
who looked the rugged part they
were playing in history. Since Lin
coins time we have been lacking in
them, for even Roosevelt, whom
-Clemenceau resembles in several re-
spects, did not look his part as the

Hauling DolUn The Flag
(From the New York Tribune),

The candid and patriotic appeal
Of President Harding in behalf OF
the shipping bill Is already having
its effect. BY stating the problem
fully and fairly he has forced his
opponents TO come out into the open
and state what substitute they have
to offer for his common sense and
economical measure.
There is the possibility of continu-
ing the present policy of govern
ment ownership. That is today costing
the government $50. OOO, 900 a year
after the most rigid economies
have been effected by the present
Administration. And II Is not keep
Ing American ships on the seas.
There are a few lone advocates of
government ownership who stiTl sup
port this policy. The bulk OF the
House and the Senate, Democratic
as we'll as Republican, know that
this policy has shown itself a hone
less failure-costly. wasteful, de-
structtve.
What other alternative Is there 70

sented now or as It may he amended,

that made France forget defeat and

was a paradox that It should have

courage is one that Americans ad-
mire, for their own finest historical
memory is Washington at Valley

Surely Clemenceau can report TO
France that the reception he receiv-
ed here was worthy Of his nation.
Surely he will report that his every
word was listened TO with the most
profound respect. And II he has not
gained what he came for, II there is
no political victory to add to his per-
sonal triumph, II he has not swept
the American people off their feet
in his presentation Of European po-
litical problems-then it is not be-

T,HAT is the CHIEF function of the international sun
j. shine Society,"
Clouds may overcast the sky; rain may fall; sieet
may pelt the earth and its Inhabitants and snow may
spread its white pail over city. town, hamlet and farm
but the international organization referred TO above
continues to spread sunshine, to warm the cookies OF the
human heart and to assist hope in the laudable under
taking Of driving despair from Delaware homes in
which Il is lurking and doing its ruinous work.
It IS the sunshine of love OF human for human; OF
those who are happy for those who are unhappy; Of
those who are fortunate for those who are unfortunate;
Of those who are well fed for those who are hungry OF
those who are we'll clad for those who are bordering
upon nakedness; OF those who are well housed for
those who are well nigh homeless; OF those who have
sight for those who are sightiess; Of those who are well
for those who are fla love that hnds practical ex-
preston In alternating deeds which should appeal to
every human heart and which cannot fail to appeal to
the Great Recorder above.
This Sunshine Society, which has been operating in
our city and State so many years. is making an appeal
to the Delaware public for $4,000. II that money be
given. and It should be, part OF It will be used for the
purchase Of a home in which the equipment Of the or
ganization may be housed and from which its bene-
fetal work in behalf Of the AFFLICTED. the poor and the
distressed may radiate. The other part will be used for
financing the alternative work Of the society In dealing
with human affection, poverty and distress. In COM
parison with other appeals that have been made to the
public for worthy purposes. the request OF the society is
modest. II should meet with a hearty response.
There is one thing that should be understood clearly
by those who are thinking of giving TO the fund. That
is. that there is no conflict between the international
Sunshine Society and the other charitable organizations
in our city and State and no duplication OF relief effort.
1t works in harmony with all OF them and strives studi-
ously to prevent any crossing Of lines.
With the selection OF Mrs. Donald s.. Ashbrook as
chairman OF the drive. with the enrolment OF an ener- !
getic executive committee and with SOC volunteer
workers assured at the outset. the movement for hous-
ing and financing this truly admirable organization
should 30 over the top within the time prescribed and
reveal once more the goodness OF heart Of the people
OF Wilmington and OF Delaware at large.

A BADLY ADVISED LECTURER

From the New York Herald.
The only law against the lectures
which an officer OF the German
raider Emden proposes to give In
this country Is the law OF common
sense. Such a tour Is Ill advised.
indelicate and inconsiderate. Lieu
tenant-Captain Won Muecke might
have learned this in Germany II he
had taken the pains 10 ask men who
know something about the stlng
which wal leaves to rankle in ma
tional hearts.
The war Is over and nothing should
be done to reopen its wounds. If
a German came 20 the United States
TO explain the German republic and
its troubles and hopes he would get
a respectful hearing. But when a
man 20 tell of his exploits
against the nations which eventually
became the allies OF the United
states he is reviving painful memo
ries. Such lectures as Won Muecke
proposes EAR appeal only to persons
who -sympathized with the German
Government of the Bmden period
a Government ruled by the Prus-
sian a~utocracy and welded TO the
Tirpitz idea OF frighttulness.
The person who signed Won
Muecke for a lecture tour may have
told him that in this country a lee
turer can cay anything he pleases
and draw all the money he desires.
If such statements led the German
naval officer to enter into a contract
he was badly deceived. Americans
are No more prejudfced than other
peoples, but they naturally resent
the bad taste displayed in the offer
Of a series of talks about German
prowess at sea It was German sea
tactics which drew the United States
into the war. Most Germans re-
member this but Won Muecks evi-
IDENTIFY does not.
Americans OF German extraction
regret such incidents as this. They
know that here and there racial
prejudice has led TO unfair treat
ment-even OF German artists like
Nine. Gadski a great and popular
singer who was reduced 70 tears by
the unfriendly attitude OF a portion
OF the public IN Los Angeles on Mon
day, whose conduct disclosed a very 1
narrow prejudice. Other artists Of
Teutonic blood have had similar ex-
%periences much TO the regret Of
Americans. A mis-
like the Won Muscke case only
adds fuel to a fire which should be
dying out.

Sir: In your issue OF November

titled Radical Rally Ground" re-
garding the National woman's Party
which has for its object to secure
! equality with men in the United
States and in any international gov
eminent that may be established.
Their declaration OF principles Is
similar to that enacted IN 1s4s, at
the Seneca Falls convention. After
s~eventy-fve years Of struggle, but
one of OF these principles has been
won-the franchise.
It Is a logical sequence 10 the
winning Of the franchise that wo-
men should, as soon as possible, do
away with the legal determinations
The ew-Eatfonal woman's Party
was organized in this State a year
ago, and has for It's officers Mrs.
Victor dupont. Sr.. chairman: Mrs.
c. S. Hammitt, Mrs. NJ. r. Brown.

THE BRITISH PLATFORMS.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
On Wednesday the Chronicle pub
hshed the platforms" Of the -four
British parties which were engaged
In the election, and the four occu-
pied about two-thirds of a column.
The Chronicle has long insisted
that no political platform should
exceed 800 words. OF these four
platforms, that of Bonar Law was
the longest and contained but 191
words. None OF the platfSsms
viewed with alarm or pointed with
pride. As compared with former
British political platforms which
we have seen, all but that OF Lloyd
George show some deterioration in
deiniteness, clarity and freedom
from straddles, possibly guperin-
duced by increasing contact with
American POLITICIANS. But then
these were not regular official plat
forms, but were compiled by press
men from reported speeches of
different leaders. But one a
easily paste all these platforms in
his hat and at n Tina see in a
moment very closely wherein the
aspirations Of one party differed
from those OF the others.
The American political platform
is a discredit to democracy. Il is.
long, wordy. two-thirds rhetorical
guff, often capable OF two different
interpretations for different oonstit-
uencies, and in general evidently
constructed on the theory that the
people are all asses.
But It does not work out that
way. As a rule the larger papers
print the stuff once and then for
get It. 1t is seldom read except
by those In the political business,
and they almost never refer to It.
Nobody. in fact, pays any attention

nor do elected officials, II they
happen to know what was IN Il,

It is strange, yet historically true-prosperity has
been the ruin OF nations. Egypt. Syria, Greece and
Rome went this route. There is in It all a tendency to
overstep. The finer sensibilities are blunted, ideals are
weakened and stunted, and tho principles Of Justice and
right are stihed. When that's done a nation is dead.

You believe in a career" Absorbed in your life
work. you say. Yes, you have made a fortunate escape
from an unsuccessful husband whose only fault was
that he failed to pile up gold for you. That was his
only rime-but crime It was in this age. And now you
ignore the man who did not chance 10 be the idol OF his
kind. You withdrew your heart and broke your troth
with him who had nothing more than his Unborn pecu-
harities and eccentricities-lke you. You refused your
heart to as kingly a lover as ever breathed because the
signs did not point 10 a honeymoon OF the kind you
dreamed. You dreamed Of a fairy price-but he hap
pened to be dreaming OF a fairy queen. He dreamed Of
a woman who could dissolve his anxieties in the sweet
ness of a loving heart; a woman who would prefer 20
love him in a hovel rather than hate him on a throne;
a woman who would love him though all the world de-
spised-this was the fairy queen on whom he dreamed.
Yes, men do see fairy forms-and they're always queens
just like thatF That's the woman who has the right to
sit with him on his throne-whether It be Of clay or
gold.
