CAUTION IN ADVERTISING.

Because a good many OF the most
highly skilled advertising experts have
come TO the conclusion that there has
crKy and money In certain forms Of
advcrtising-many indiscriminately
distributed circulars, for instance,
simply md their way into the dis
card--'the Direct Mall Advertising As-
socistion has been formed. This or
ganlzation, so far AZ its particular
field OF advertising is concerned be-
lieves In trying, instead OF sending out
circulars which rather assume that
anybody and everybody will buy n par
ticular commodity. to make picked
lists OF probable purchasers of grand
pianos or gramophoncs. or high
power cars. or toothpaste. or what
ever the article or service may be

THE CABINET CONTROVERSY.

1t is not surprising that the publi-
cation OF the intimate personal letters
and diary entries Of the late Frank
lin *. Lane, Secretary of the Interior
in President Wilson'S cabinet. should
have Immediately given occasion for
contention. Mr.. Lane strongly inti-
mated that cowardice ruled the Presi-
dent and the cabinet, following a
warning by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels that sending conveys with
troop ships would be dangerous"
Secretary Daniels was prompt in de-
nying this assertion and backing his
denial with excerpts from his own per-
sonal diary to show that he and Presi-
dent Wilson had no such fears, and
that the procedure adopted was In
accord with the best counsels then OBJ
tainable
How this controversy may end it
matters little. There will be parti-
sans on both sides who will eagerly
maintain that each contention is cor
rect. The world knows what was
done, and that the conduct of the war
from Washington was attended by in
cidents and results that now fully at
test the Wilson administration's ex-
traordinary vigor and efficiency. And
The people will not be likely to lose
/ sleep over any of the cabinet conten-
tiops that may have attended the
adoption of policy which proved is
wisdom by it's results.
The incident, however, is revealing
II tells a story as old as the govern
ment. Of President finding among
mis- cabinet advisers some who be.
lieve they know more than he knows
and that he should follow their ad.

GOING ON WITH ENTHUSIASM.

The campaign for raising a fund OF
$500. 600 for the proposed World War
heroes memorial library for the Uni
versity OF Delaware is going on with
unexampled enthusiasm, especially in
this city. The great parade by school
children and students, "Wednesday,
was a notable affair, and inspired the
friends OF the movement with high
hopes. There is no doubt Wilmington
will do its full share in making this
appealing campaign successful.
And all other sections Of the State
should join enthusiastically and gem
crously In this fine work. The library
will serve a noble purpose as a mem
orial TO our soldier heroes who gave
their all for freedom, and as a hall
for appropriate memorial purposes. in
addition 10 the great use 1t will be to
the educational work of the Univer-
sity.
So this campaign is a State affair
that appeals directly to every citizen
10 do his bit" for its success. The
small contributions from those who
have little will be just as acceptable
and appropriate as larger ones from
those who have means. Let all joir
in the good work.

Few Presidents escaped this cabinet
situation. Mr.. Lincoln had to contend

Wilson also had few advisers who
inclined to dictate his Official action.

proved that they were In command

NAVY DAY.

Today has been set aside by the
Navy League of the United States as
Navy Day, and during its hours people
are asked TO give consideration 10 the
navy and what It has done FOR the
country.
The American people have just
cause TO be proud of their navy. In
its infancy. before our government
was organized. II rendered great aid
to tho Revolution. In the War OF
1S12-l5 Il gained splendid prestige by
fairly beating tho best fighters of the
renowned navy Of Great Britain. and
brought To itself and our country a
glory that has not been dimmed to
this day. And in all other wars in
which our country participated the
navy did we'll its part.
And so we naturally are proud Of
our navy. We will indorse all mea-
sures for it's proper care and for its
mai ltenance on a plane at all times
commensurate with the needs OF the
country.
But we should do more than this.
We should give thought TO the condi-
tions that now prevail throughout
the world and to the necessity for all
the nations turning their faces reso-
lutclv against war and IN the direc-
t.ou-of universal peace. This is what
the world most needs at this time.

IGNORING REAL ISSUES.


With persistence that amounts 20
a confession that their party's record
fails 20 appeal favorably to the
people. Republican speakers and
papers. especially here in Delaware,
continue to urge voters TO vote for an
Endorsement OF President Harding and
his administration and nothing else.
They are unable To make a good show
ing for the national administration.
especially for the Congress that has
So thoroughly disgustcd thousands of
Republican citizens, and so the plea
is made general. not specific. The
people are asked to adhere to- ma
tional administration from fear of
what the Democrats might do should
they regain power
Yet II is admitted even by these
partisan sources that "at this time the
utmost economy and the greatest of
good management are needed and
should stand out I'm Federal affairs"
This reference expresses a solid truth.
rs these essentials are painfully lacking
IN the national administration. and the
evils arising from this situation would
bc largely increased by continuing
that administration in full control. \
change is needed. and the people have
an opportunity. al the coming cleo
ton 10 pave the way for an effective
change and consequent reform. by
wiping out the Republican majority
in the present faithless and impotent
Congress. which has justly earned the
condemnation that even prominent
Republicans are voioins with force
and Indignation.
In respect Of the necessity Of radi-
cal reform in home affairs. these par
tlsan orators and papers maintain
dense silence. II matters not 20 them

these enormous contributions IN taxes
for "A state SO small IN population. Il
matters not 20 them that official places
have so multiplied that there are
many more tax.eating officials than
there is need Of.
All these matters are ignored BY
Republican orators and organs and
by the Republican candidates for Of
fice who are asking the people TO elect
them. They can offer no promises OF
reform-no measures for reducing the
cost of administration and thus af-
fording an opportunity for reduc-
ton Of the heavy burdens cf taxation
Yet these are the real issues of the
campaign IN Delaware. They di.
rectly affect all our people. The
Democratic party has met them, fairly
and squarely and all its candidates ar,

tical reformation in the event OF theil
