vote, by the vote of his Democratic
colleague, had successfully accom-
plished his duty? Assuming again that
it had, might we not again ask, whe-
Their the substitution of another DEM
ocratic vote in place Of his own,
would not still further accomplish
his conception of duty? But this is
going too far-as even Sen. Ball him
self would admit.
Yet it is the only logical conclusion
to the argument-a conclusion that is
Numerically opposed to the Repub-
lican Party.
And so it is, that merely as ques-
ton of duty, the Republican Party re-
quires a candidate for Senator who
will add to, and not subtract from, the
party majority in the Senate at Wash
ington, and one who will give cOhe-
sion to, not dissipation of the strength
of the Republican Party in Delaware.
Merely, also, as a matter of duty, the
rank and file require candidate who
can see that the success of the party,
which is theirs in the long run, is
superior to any temporary personal
ambition, however great, and that the
party can be successful only by the
defeat of the Democrats.
It is time that the Senior Senator
from Delaware should begin to see his
duty as others see it.
Very truly yours,
REPUBLICAN.

ward way, told them that he had de-
cided to built a highway through Del
aware from one end to the other, and
that the total cost would be at his
expense. He simply asked that per-
mission be given.
Such a colossal gift aroused wide
spread interest, not only in Delaware,
but throughout the nation. A public
spirited citizen appears before the
law-mahng body of the State and asks
them for permission to present the
State with a four million dollar high
way!
And now dreams have come true,
and just as the driving of the last
spike in the building of a transconti-
mental railroad was an event to be
written down in the history books, so
the completion of this last link is an
occasion of great concern to all Della
wareans. 1t is an epoch-making event.

By means of this wonderful high
way, Delaware farmers are enabled to
get their crops out to the best mark
cts; over it travels much of the bust
ness of the State; it has more closely
knit the bonds that unite the citizens
of the State; and pleasure seekers
have found this fine stretch of high
way one of the best in the East.
On this occasion of the completion
of the last concrete stretch of high
way one of the best in the East.
On this occasion of the completion
of the last concrete stretch, with a
continuous roadway from Dover north,
and with but a trifling bit that must
wait because of peculiar conditions,
Delaware offers it's heartfelt thanks
for this splendid and magnificent
gift of simple citi-
zen in a modest and self-effacing man
ner.

WE QUOTE from the official organ of the Dairymen's
League:
"a farmer of the famous Aroostock potato-growing
section of Maine has 100 devoted potatoes
and onehaf miles from market producing $4,000 barrels
of potatoes year. and found impossible deliver

ION account of the road grade between farm and rail-
road team of horses could only 20 barrels po-
tates at trip It would have 1000 working days
with teamust little than three years-to haul
the potato to market would twenty and
wenty drivers do the work in which would cost
more than $6OOO
"a motor truck put to work, and based the old
price of rs cents barrel hauling the potatoes by
horses this truck paid for itself the first season. hauling
"a 900 barrels"
This is not advertisement of the motor truck Any
motor truck would do it, provided had the road and
motor truck could do it unless it had good road
which to travel.
This is not advertisement of potato farming. The

This is advertisement of the need of good roads!
For there has been heavy road grade, which cut

hibtve truck, which could it, could have
twice the speed with double the load and half

WHAT is A DEMOCRAT9

The Democratic national committee announces it is
collecting 1924 Victory Fund"
Victory for what and for whom?
Every time during the last Is months radical bear
ing the label of third party has been successful in his
quest for Office Chairman Hull of the Democratic national
committee promptly forward with the statement
that the radicals election Democratic victory
AS result of such Victories" the Democratic organiza
practically out of business great many Wes
tern and Northwestern states Is it for the election of
more third party candidates committed to radical prnc
pies that the victory fund is to be collected and
pended?
Is the 1924 victory fund" of the Democratic commit
tee to be used in behalf of getting into the league of
nations in behalf of staying out?
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, the Democratic
party must drop the league of nations issue if it would
succeed Senator Robinson of Arkansas with Sen
ator Walsh Needless to say Senator Reed of Missouri
also of that mind So other Democratic senators and
leaders of considerable consequence and influence within
their party On the other hand ex-Secretary of War
Baker states that the Democratic party must commit itself
the league of nations and the fight of 1920 In
this he heartily supported by the Wilson element in the
party easily strongest single faction warning Dem
ocracy, and by such pro-eaguers Hamilton Hit and
John H. Clarke formerly of the United States Supreme
Court.
which of these factions is the victory fund" to be
collected? Those who asked to subscribe ought to
in advance for what they paying their money.
Does the victory fund" the to Governor
Smith, Governor Szer of New Jersey, and Senator Ed
wards of New jersey all dripping wet does to Will
liam ]. Bryan, and Bryans dry faction?
The Democratic national committees publicity has
great promise about the repeal of the protective
tariff in event Democrats successful If the victory
fund.- used for that then what becomes of such
Democrats Senators Kendrck of Wyoming; Broussard
Ransda of Louisiana all of whom voted not only for
the schedules in the bill but voted for
the bill itself? And what becomes of such Democratic
Ashurs of Arizona and JONES' of New Mexico
practically all the protective schedules in
the bill that affect any interest their respective
munities?
Does the victory fund" being collected by the Demo-
party the significance to Mr.. McAdoo in
relation to railroad legislation and management it does
to Senator Underwood, the New Yorf Times and Ba-
outstanding Democratic publications of the At
Iantic seaboard?
Is the conception which Senator Glass, of Virginia.
entertains of financial system to prevail the Demo-
cratic victory fund" lives to it's is the con-
ception of Senator Hen of Alabama to be endorsed?
Does Senator Shields of Tennessee entertain the
of what constitutes Democratic victory former
President Wilson, who only few days ago branded Sen
Shields being unworthy of public office at the hands
Of the Democratic party?
The solicitation of a Democratic 1924 victory fund
naturally raises the question-What Is Democrat?

MERELY A QUESTION OF DUTY
Communication

A recent news article containing an
interview of Sen. Ball to the effect
that he was in the fight to stay, unless
he could be shown certain things, has
aroused considerable comment and
speculation in the rank and file of the
party. In a few words-he stated that
unless he could be shown wherein he
had failed, either in his duty toward
the State, or to the country, he was
in the fight for the Senatorial nomina-
ton to the end.
At first glance this statement ap-
pears to be the utterance of self
satisfied public servant, confident in
the honestly performed duties of his
office, patting himself on the back and
awaiting the answer of the public to
any criticism directed toward him, by
a well done, thou good and faithful
servant; an answer that he as
sumes would be compelled by his pub
lie record; all of which is very good,
sounds well and offers an excuse for
doing that (which his personal ambi-
lions and self-interest impel him to
do.
But the fact that he needs to offer
any excuse at all is the very gist of
the whole matter; and, the gist of the
matter is that he is trying to use his
assumed accomplishment of his duty
to the State and to the Country, as
cloak to cover his absolute failure to
recognize any duty toward his party,
as opposed to personal ambitions.
1t is not very difficult to recall that
after the last election, Sen. Ball was
charged with having knitted the tick
cts, and having INDUCED in such clev-
er manipulations, that the Republican
nominee for Senator was defeated. He
was not only charged with it, but the
friends of the nominee in question, are
so thoroughly convinced of it, and
were so thoroughly convinced of it
just previous to the election, that the
cry of eft tn Brute" was not needed
to call their attention to it.; and yet
he has fulfilled his duty to the State
and Nation.
Might we ask whether it was his
conception of his duty to the State, or
his duty to the Nation, that required
the election of a Democratic United
States Senator?
Assuming that it was either, or
both, we would like to ask further
the notification of his own

Milford, Del.

November 20, 1928.
Editor of the Chronicle
Dear SIR
Believing you to be fair-minded
and unprejudiced, I ask you to pub
lish the following in the interest of
truth:
In a recent issue of the Chronicle
was published statement of the I'M
perial Wizard of the Ku Klux Khan,
in which he said: mo nation can
long endure that permits a higher
TEMPORAL allegiance than to it's own
government. The hierarchies of RO-
man and Greek Catholicism violate
that principle. To them the Presiden-
cy at Washington is subordinate to
the priesthood at Rome. The parochial
school alone is sufficient proof of a
divided allegiance - a separate in
stinct."
I wish to deny, categorically, these
statements.
Catholics give no temporal al
legiance" whatever to the Pope. Their
temporal allegiance is given wholly to
the country of which they are citi-
zens. Spiritual allegiance ONLY do
they give the Pope, who has no jur-
isdictiOn over them except in the mat
ter of faith and morals. Following
Christ's admonition, Catholics render
to Caesar the things that are Caesars,
and to God the things that are Gods"
2-The parochial school is just the
same as the public school-teaches
the same subjects, inculcates the same
principles of patriotism; adding to
these, instruction of the children in
their faith.
Leading men of all denominations
are coming more and more to the con-
clusion that religion is a necessary
factor in the education of youth.
Very truly yours,
REV. JOS. H. IRWIN.
