A bill providing for such Detention Home now is
before the Legislature. 1t probably will be voted upon
in the House this week. II follows a general way,
the recommendations OF Governor Denney who voiced
the mature conclusions of representatives from all
parts OF the State interested in Juveniles.
The bill Is drawn carefully with all the details Of a
commission for erecting securing and equpping a
Detention Home which the city OF Wilmington, the
county OF New Castle the State of Delaware. shall
be represented Title such Detention Home shall be
taken in the OF the state and when the home is
secured and equipped, the bill provides that shall be

Governor the State Treasurer the president OF the
State of Charities the judge of the Juvenile
Court and five members to be appointed by the said
Judge at least one appointees be from Will
mington and at least one from each county.
The bill provides that $4,000 shall be appropriated
by Wilmington. $4,000 by New Castle county and
by State for erecting securing the Deten
ton Home. and $1,000 shall he appropriated by each
for eauipping such home. When such Detention Home
shall have been secured and equipped, thereafter the

Sand Dunes and Menhaden

It Is seldom that any species Of

sea angler and his lure Of salt water

The town OF Lewes Is used to the
odoriferousness of the fisheries
plants that operate on it's borders,
although TO the visitor, 81 breezes
blow from the sea, they are laden
with a peculiar and penetrating
scent that Is anything but Ozonic.
AS one or more closely approaches
the scene of actual operations, the
odor evinces a cordial spirit of good
fellowship and welcomes the
stranger most sincerely. As the
townspeople view It, however, a
smell Is only a smell and can be
imagined to be as sweet as altar Of
roses, or money musk. as it were.

An arrogant Hold Up
tFrOm the New York Tribuns.I

World" that this Congress has no
moral right to pass on the shipping
question because It is a ''lame-duck"
Congress. This phrase means moth
ing more than that some OF the
members of the present House and
Senate will not sit in the next Con-
gress. But how can that disqualify
them from voting7
Nobody has made the claim that
members who are to leave the
House and Senate on March next
ought to be debarred from voting on
agricultural relief bills, on appro-
priation bills. on Borah resolutions
or on the British debt-refunding bill.
The Constitution recognizes no dis
tinction between members who have
been reelected and members who
have not been reelected or have not
sought recollection. All have the
same rights and privileges until
their terms expire. Does Senator
Harrison want 10 have the name of
his distinguished colleague, John
Sharp williams, stricken of the vot-
ing list because the latter is soon to
go into retirement? Does he hold
that Mr.. Williams has no moral
right to vote either for or against a
shipping bill or any other bill?
The anit-shipping Senators are
talking arrogant nonsense. They
are more of a menace to the free
and orderly conduct or govern
ment than any "lame-duck" Sena-
tors or Representatives ever could
be.

MIR. UNDFRWooD's SUCCESSOR

MIR UNDERwOOD'S SUCCESSOR.
From the New York Tribune.
Democratic leadership in the
Senate will take on a more radical
tincture after March next. Mr..
Underwood, as every one knows. is
a conservative, or at least a mod
crate, with a trained and balanced
mind, fixed tradition and a stable
background. Democracy Is made
easy for him because he lives in a
Southern State, where the party or
ganization embraces men of all
minds on political fundamentals
Had ne stayed in the North, where
he was educated, he might have
found it far from easy to live
through some OF the radical tenn
pests which have beaten upon the
Democratic party - especially those
OF the Bryan period. He is always
sound and reasonable within the
limits OF his political environment.
and that means, in his cose, that he
IS little of a sectionalist and little
of a partisan.
Mr.. Underwood Is a leader OF the
type to which the Democrats OF the
Senate have often turned. He is
like Mr.. Martin, of Virginia, though
BROADER and like Mr.. German. of
Maryland. though without the lat
ter's passion for politics in the
practical sense. Mr.. Simmons. who
has Withdrawn as a contestant
against Mr., Robinson. also came
into this category. He Is cautious,
sore-footed and not given TO ex-
cursions and alarums.
Mr.. Robinson is a Southerner
who reverts more 10 the aggressive,
ip-on-the-shoulder type. He is
more impulsive and enthusiastic.
He Is also more OF a bitter-ender.
In the Versailles Treaty fight he
was an unconditional ratiflcationist
and preferred rejection TO modihca-
ton. He carried his animoslty into
the fight over the washington con-
ference agreements and tried to
defeat the four-power Pacific
treaty. He is a militant, and oppo- |
sitlon Is naturally more congenial to |
him than majority responsibility. /
He still accepts the Wilson guild !
ance and unlike so many Of his
party colleagues, does not yet I'M
