PUTS ITS APPROVAL
UPON IA Toilette

ATLANTIC CITY, Y. j., Aug. .
The candidates. Of Senators La Fol
lette and Wheeler were Endorsed to-
iay by the executive council of the
American Federationof Labor by the
ADOPTION, almost without revision, OF
the report of the federation's ma
tional non-partisan political cam
paien committee. Not until tomor-
row will the text of the report and
the resolution be available to tn"
press.
Heads of the American Federation
of Labor refused tonight to make
any comment as to the nature of
either document, and asked news
paper men to avoid speculation.
Debate on the political question
occupied all of q special session of
the council this afternoon The for
mutation of ] an official attitude
toward the observance of National
Defense Day, September y, was de-
ferred until Monday.
Mr. Gompers tonight made an Of
fetal statement concerning the &C
ton of the executive Council, in MS
first personal contact with neWSpa-
per men since he was taken ill dur
ing the Democratic national con
Vention.
Escorted by a nurse and an aide,
he stood throughout the interview,
and still pale from his illness, de
spite daily rides along the seashore
boardwalk and clinging to table
for support. he made this statement:
Il am going to tell you quite
frankly about the situation with us.
We have devoted the entire day to
discussion of the report of our po-
Iitical committee. Every angle of
the national political situation was
gone into.
There was no hesitation. II was
all clear speaking. The report of
the American Federation of Labor's
non-partisan political committee.
which we adopted, conforms to what
has been the practice with us in
every national, state and local cam
pai9n since 1906.
I'VE have not had clerical force
which will enable us to get out re
ports of the meetings as quickly us
would be possible at our Washing
ton headquarters. But we have
reached a conclusion and adopted
the report. Some little revision will
be necessary. We would like to
make the proceedings public, but we
can't today"
Sessions of the council will be re-
sumed on Monday, the first topic Of
the day to be a discussion of the
National Defense day observance.

We congratulate Cashier Wal
ter W. Hynson, Of the Fruit
Growers National Bank of
Smyrna, in being honored by
the State Bankers Association
at its president for the ensuing
year. Mr.. Hynson is in every
way qualified for the position
and his election not only is a
compliment to him but the first
time a Smyrna banker has ever
been thus hOnOred. The State
Bankers Association concluded a
Smyrna times., 1924-09-10

fine session at Rehoboth last
week. AS the Morning News
says, "these meetings are al
ways interesting because of the
high reputation the State enjoys
in financial circles. Depositors
who put money in Delaware
banks do not lose it. On the
contrary it is carefully guarded
and brings them returns.
'The annual address of Presi-
dent Robert P. Robinson related
an interesting history, review
ing in brief the work done since
the association was founded
some twenty-nine years ago.
The provisions of the cOnstitu-
tiOn have been lived up to. AS
Mr.. Robinson points out, the
bankers during the last year
have sent a message Of coopera-
tiOn to the farmers and to 9TH
ers, the agricultural committee
having been especially active.
"The educational committee
has done effective work in pro-
noting the thrift campaign
among children. Mr.. Robinson
said that the Artisans Bank re-
ports that some $4,000 school
children have on deposit in that
institution more than S124,O0O.
Habits of thrift formed in child
hood, it is fair to assume, as
Mr.. Robinson says, will be ad-
hered to during adult years.
"This thrift campaign is very
important and cannot be stres-
sed too strongly. Capital is
created only by saving, and the
strength of the country depends
upon this saving inclination and
ability. A thriftless and shift
less nation would spell disaster
and chaos. And a nation can be
thrifty and create capital only
as the individuals who compose
it are thrifty and careful"
Smyrna times., 1924-09-10

All owners of motorcars
should have their head lamps
examined and adjusted without
delay. The law under which
careful readjustment of motor
lights is required was effec-
tive on September 1 in Pennsyl-
vania and the law will be enforc-
ed in Delaware. Briefly, it is re-
quired that strong beams from
motor lamps be thrown more di-
rectly on the road and not on
the eyes Of on coming drivers.
The new arrangement will
doubtless make night driving
somewhat safer. Sooner OF lat
er, however, all State and muni-
cipal authorities will have to
seek means so to illuminate all
streets and highways as to make
dazzling motor headlights un-
necessary.

Agricultural exhibits, n e
handiwOrk of housewives, the
talents Of school children and
horse racing are not the only at
fractions that will be offered at
this years Delaware State Fair.
A fair, after all, is a kind of
family gathering. Folks from
all parts of the state come to-
gether and renew old acquaint-
ances. The old folks down on
the farm see their city children
now grown to manhood and
wOmanhOOd-and country cous-
ins meet with city cousins, and
so it goes.
But the important thing about
the state fair is it's advertise
ment of our products from the
soil and from the hands of our
sons and daughters. How can
we take pride in our cattle and
grain, in our flowers and fruit,
if we do not remind our citizens
about their worth at the State
fair? Again the manufacturers
and merchants have an oppor-
tunity to exhibit their wares;
and their exhibitions are worth
seeing, and forcibly bring to our
minds Delaware's industrial po-
tentialities and the wisdom of
her business men.
A man some months ago de-
plOred the fact that Delaware,
her citizens of literary
bent, had not exploited her
more; but in the
state fair is to be found, in large
an opportunity to ex-
plot the fine possessions of
which we may proudly boast
good farming lands, pasture
lands, orchards, dairies, manu-
factories, business concerns
with names internationally
known, and the homely merits
Of the men and women who
make up the families which are
the backbone of the common
wealth.
These things being true it be-
nooves every public spirited
Delawarean to attend the State
fair at Wilmington this week.
There are attractions for every
taste, even in the selection of
amusements; and this years
fair promises to be the best Del
aware has ever staged.-Every
Evening.

Hon. David F. Houston, mem
Der of the cabinet of the late
President Wilson, has been ex-
amining statistics with interest
ing and timely results. He finds
that the wealth of the United
States equals that of Central
and Western Europe. But this
fact does not please him so much
as the distribution of that
, wealth. Sixty per cent of it be-
longs to persons with incomes of
$4,000 a year OF less, and fifty
two per cent of it according to
Mr.. Houston, belongs to the
wage earners. Some twenty
eight millions of people in the
United States have savings of
more than eighteen billions.
compared with nine billions of
savings by eighty million of
Europeans.
The United States has an
average Of $3.50 a person, while
the average in these European
countries in $1OO a person. A
vast difference this is. This
country has two ffths of the
railway mileage of the world,
half the gold of the world, eigh-
ty-three per cent Of the automo-
biles and siXty-three per cent Of
the telephones. Many of our
corporations are encouraging in
one way OF another their en-
plOyes to become stockholders.
The gate is open to them to do
this.
There are eleven millions of
families embracing more than
fifty millions of individuals that
own their homes, and some
three millions five hundred thou
sand farmers own the land on
which they live, covering more
than sixty-fve per cent of the
private land in use. These fig
ures are astonishing and could
hardly be grasped by European
nations. Yet in the face of these
facts we frequently hear that
we are a wasteful and extrava-
CANT people, and we also hear
that there is much unrest in the
country.

The theory of Inspector Grant that

large and endangering the lives of
pedestrians and peaceabie motorists
