Election Heartening.
The recent election has heartened
considerably those who are opposed
to the Governments operating any of
the shipping routes They remember
that one of the La Toilette planks
was Government ownership of the
railroads. They are preparing to fight
hard to get the ships away from the
Government. On the other hand, the
tremendous success of the President
in that election. places him in a posi-
ton to bring about more effectually
than ever such policy as he believes
to be best for the merchant marine.
The determination to continue the
American flag on the seas is not a
myth. The feeling that the merchant
marine is to stay is voiced in many
gatherings. The question has mar
rowed down to one of policy, and
next, mechanics.
The President, the Congress-, the
Shipping Board and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation face a condition
and not theory in dealing with the
SHIPS. win the exception or Il cou-
pie of services which are operating
at a profit, and d few more which
are breaking about even, the services
now maintained are operating at a
loss. This loss mounts into the mil
lions of dollars annually.
Must Reduce LOSSES.
1t is the duty of the Government
all branches-to bring these losses
down to the lowest possible figure
without sacrificing the efficiency of
the merchant marine as an aid to
American commerce or as an auxil-
larry of the Navy and the Army in
time of emergency.
1t is a further duty to see that the
fleet be renewed and be improved by
the addition of new vessels from

ASSERTS U. S. RIGHT.
TO DRY UP WORLD
Bishop Mcdowell Sounds
Slogan at Anti-SaIoon
League Convention.

Sounding the slogan for world pro-
hibition, Bishop William Fraser Nc
Dowell told the Anti-Saloon League
of America, in annual convention
here today, that "if the rest of the
world objects to the United States
coming to 1t with our ideas and prin-
ciples of prohibition. we have the
right to object to the rest Of the
world coming here with its ideas Of
license and lawlessness.
IF the rest Of the world will not
keep out of the United States" he
declared, amid prolonged applause,
the rest of the world has got to be
made sober by the United States. If
the world of the near tomorrow is
to be a neighborhood, 1t has simply
got to be a neighborhood without
saloons, distilleries and breweries.
1.-THE nations cannot live together

The right of America, Bishop Nc
Dowell, who is head OF the NJ. L.
Church here, asserted, welcoming the
delegates to the thirtieth annual con-
Sention of the Anti-Saloon League OF
America to Washington, to carry the
hight for prohibition around the world
can no longer be doubted. The
Christian religion has made us world
missionaries" he declared. The
world war has made US world citi-
2ens"

piediately enlist 100 of the best
trained, most courageous and most

state superintendents and other off,
cial positions, Bishop Thomas Nichol-
son of Chicago. president of the
league asserted in its annual address
81: frequently reforms drift unknow-
ingly into the hands of men who have
grown old without realizing it, he
said.
Women's Vote Divided,
When women won the right of
franchise, the speaker continued.
many persons believed reform would
thereafter have a solid vote for tenn
perance and decency. The past two
years, Bishop Nicholson declared,
have proved the falsity of that belief.

Leagues problems for the next year,
he added.

Nicholson continued. ASK the bank

single year savings bank depositors
increased $4,000, and the total OF
their savings bank deposits s33s.0o0.-

single month of 1928 they wrote

EDUCATE BOYS ON THE FARM
Governor of Missouri Answers Farm
er Who Believed in One-ROOm School

Governor of Missouri Answers Farm
er Who Believed in One-Room School
While Arthur NJ. Hyde, of Mis-
souri,, was running for Governor of
that state, he said, 81 am going to
take great measures toward the edu-
cation of country boys and girls"
After Mr.. Hyde was elected Governor
he received a letter from a farmer.
who owned more than 600 acres of
land saying-"There is lots of time
and money spent for higher educa-
ton for boys and girls of the farms.
Let me ask, When you get all of the
boys that education, who will grow
the corn, wheat and livestock to feed
the people? Give the boy a college
education and he leaves the farm to
seek easier employment. The one
room district schools are the places
where you find the most moral.
healthy and perfect specimens of
manhood, and most people think the
one-rOOm country school will answer
all educational purposes for farmers. 8"
The Governor in reply wrote to this
farmer as follows: "You believe that
if farm boys and girls are better edu-
Gated, they will not stay on the farm
and therefore ought to be kept in
comparative ignorance so they will
remain on the farm and grow corn
and other produce to feed their more
fortunate fellowmen who live in the
GOWNS and cities. | refuse to believe
that education is a bad thing for BOYS
and girls of the farms, I do believe
that every boy and girl in the state is
entitled to the best education that can
possibly be given to them I believe
that if education is good for the boys
and girls of the cities and towns, it
is just as good for those of the farms,
and that one is entitled to it Just as
much as the other. / have no fears
that educated men and women will re-
fuse to grow corn and produce On
the contrary, ! have observed that the
most successful farmers everywhere
are those who have been we'll educat-
ed, whose minds have been trained to
think, who have studied the problems
of farming, and ] have also noticed
that nine out Of ten of the families
who move to town from the farms,
do so to get their children into better
schools. The farms can III afford to
lose these kind of people, and if con-
ditions of farm life were better, if
schools and roads were better, there
would be thousands of people now liv-
ing in the towns and cities who would
be glad to move out on the farms to
help grow the corn and other pro-
duce.",

The meeting of lower Delaware
former service men which will be held
in Grange Hall, Milford, Friday eve
ming, October 10, promises to be one
OF the mOsc enthusiastic affairs the
American Legion has sponsored. The
purpose of the meeting as outlined re-
Gently by j. Alexander Crothers, State
Commander, is to arouse the World
War Veterans to a sense of the obli-
cation as peace time citizens of their
respective communities. Shortly af-
ter his election as Commander of the
Department Of Delaware, Mr.. Croth-
ers announced that the major efforts
Of his administration would be direct
ed towards interesting legionnaires in
civic and community affairs, at the
same time being ever thoughtful of
the care and comfort of the disabled
veterans. The meeting in Milford is
the outcome of a trip recently made
by Legion officials in that vicinity at
which time the matter was discussed
not only with former service men but
with leading citizens in general. The
reception rendered the legionnaires
and the hearty cooperation promised
by those interested in community af-
fairs convinced the officials lower De-
aware offers an exceptional opportun-
ity for Legion activities. In addition
to lower Delaware former service men
delegations from Wilmington, Smyr-
ma, Dover and Harrington have ex-
pressed intentions of being present.

cent trip through lower Delaware in

mander; Earl Sylvester, vice com

jutant; J. B. Jessup and Raig Peacock

TRY TO SAVE HENLOPEN LIGHT
delegation Made an Appeal To the
Lighthouse Board in Washington
Yesterday With Successful Results


Orders have been given by the au-
thorities at Washington that the light
IN old Cape CenlOpen Lighthouse, at
the meeting place of Delaware Bav
and the Atlantic Ocean, which has
served as faithful warning to mar
iners for nearly two centuries, will
be eXtinguished for good on Wednes-
day, October l. After that date the
protecting care of the Federal gov
ernment will be withheld from the old
structure, and it will, unless final
remedial agencies. become effective.
soon tOtter into the sea and be de-
strOyed, owing to the continued in
trusiOn of the waves which are wash
ing away its foundations. The Allied
Service Clubs of Delaware, an organi-
zatiOn which has given attention to
the important matter of preserving
old Cape Henlopen Light for years to
come, as an hOnored landmark. made
final effort, yesterday, for its pre-
servatiOn, through an appeal to the
Lighthouse Board at Washington. It
is the aim of this organization to pro-
tect the old beacon from the intru-
siOns of the sea by constructing a
protecting bulwark in front of it, a
work which may be done for a thou
sand dollars. The organization met
with encouragement yesterday. The
Federal Government will not disturb

hearing took place before J. F. Con-
way, United States Lighthouse Ser
vice, attended by Everett c. Johnson,
H. Warren Cornelius, president of the
Lions Club of Wilmington, and head
ed by Senator Thomas F. Bayard.
Commissioner Conway assured the
callers that the lighthouse would not
be disturbed, but that beginning with
tomorrow the light would be turned
off in the Henlopen light and turned
on in the Breakwater light, recently
constructed. Commissioner Conway
suggested to the Delaware delegation
that a committee or organization be
formed to take over the reservation,
am Lllell llC 4Clt SlA4C AoCClGLdIN IlOON-
er would gladly approve the PROPOSE
ton, pending action by Congress
authorizing the transfer Senator
Bayard, Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Cornell
ius asked Commissioner Conway for
ten days in which to submit engineers
reports on the question Of building
breakwater or other obstruction to
prevent further inroads on the his
tOric lighthouse. The Commissioner
said that he would be glad to consider
their report, and that the project was
entirely feasible, but it would cost
considerable money to build a perm
anent structure to protect the light
Mr.. Conway was in sympathy with
motives of the people of Delaware in
preserving the Henlopen light, which
was built in 1867, and in this connec-
ton suggested the acquisition by a
committee or organization in the
State to preserve the historic light.
