THE HEAVY RAINFALL of Monday and
Tuesday last which was accompanied by con-
siderable wind spoiled the Milford Firemen's
Carnival for two nights. The rain and cooler
weather made it uncomfortable to be out at night
on the damp earth; yet many people went to the
grounds despite this drawback. The firemen
have decided to continue the carnival over into
next week. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings
The carnival this year is far more attractive
than in former seasons, because of the manner
in which it is arranged, in the booths them
selves and The lighting system The approach
to the grounds is better lighted and presents
very handsome appearance. With better weather
the business will bring the gross receipts up
very much; but, it is not thought that the two
very inclement evenings can be over balanced.
The 1remen certainly need the profits from the
annual carnival to assist in the finishing of the
new community centre building, which will be
the handsomest of its kind on the Delmarvia
Peninsula.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTION
will be held in Sussex County tomorrow, Satur-
day afternoon, October 4th, to name candidates
for the various county Offices and for the legis-
lature. 1t seems impossible for the northern tier
of districts to get a man nominated for the Levy
Court by either the Republican or Democratic
parties.
Neither of the two parties can agree among
themselves as to a man upon which their party
will support. This permits the balance of the
county to grasp the nomination, and of course
the election, of men with more common sense, as
to securing sectional nominations
Unless the Republicans nominate a man to-
morrow for this office and elect him in Novem-
ber. the control of the Levy Court will be in the
hands, as it has always been, of men from lower
Sussex county, for the next. six years. There
must be a leader in Sussex county who can so
organize the political affairs, as to insure proper
sectional representation in the Levy Court. In
less something to insure a more satisfactory way
to distribute membership in this important coun-
ty commission, political efforts to secure a rem
cdy will be asked from the legislature.

NO MAN LIVING TODAY knows for certain
ty that he is not breaking some law when he
goes about his daily tasks. New laws are en-
acted at the request of every reformer who
comes along with the notion that he was put on
earth as his brothers keeper. The day will come
when we will elect men to the legislature and to
Congress not to make new laws, but to clean
out the rubbish that has accumulated in the
statutes.

NOW is THE TIME to look at the pOlitica
situation with a calm and unbiased mind ant
determine, without political bias, what can bes
be accomplished, in casting your ballot on the
fourth of November for your nation, your state
and your own actual interests. 1t is probable
that the people of the entire country will vote
with this purpose in view, in larger percentage
than has been the case in any former election
An editorial in the Morning News of a recent
date sums up the situation and makes it plain
as to what the duty of those who will make the
decision of the future policy of the country for
the next four years, shall be and says:
THE average man in the street, as we may
call him, if removed from his political bias,
would admit that the State government in Della
ware has for many years been a rather decent
and orderly government and has served the peo-
pie at least fairly we'll That would be the strict
Iy conservative opinion, we think. There are, of
course, those who would say that we have had a
very good government, all things considered,
and many arguments could be adduced to sup
port this contention
"The Republican party comes before the peo-
pie Of Delaware this year asking vote of con-
fidence on its record There are two important
parts in this campaign, though they are linked
together. Not only is control of the State invol-
we'd, but the control of the nation. The Republi-
cans face the voters of Delaware, therefore, on
the record for the State and for the nation. Per-
sonality enters to a large extent, into the con-
test.
The Republicans are strikingly fortunate
this year. They have Coolidge and Dawes as the
candidates. In the State they have
Tlr,
United States Senator, Mr.. Robinson as the can
didate for governor and Mr. Houston as the can
didate for Congress. The other nominees on the
ticket are also all high-class and competent. No
one has seriously challenged the personnel of
the ticket.
"The character of the candidates should in
spire all Republicans to extraordinary efforts |
his year to win. Even if the State ticket were
not far above the average in such a time like /
his the Republicans should be solidly arrayed |
or it because of the importance of maintaining
republican control at Washington.
"The record of the Republicans in the State is
lean and Straightforward. The party in Della
5are has been the party of GENUINE PROG
ESS. Light broke in Delaware when the new
constitution was adopted many years ago. That
was the elimination of Republican
forts and agitation. Since then elections have
cen marked by a free ballot and a fair count. ,
"The affairs of the State have been sanely and e
economically managed. The Republicans de- @
rye to win because of this record. What folly 9
would be to turn Delaware over to the Dem =
rats Let, therefore, the voters calmly con- Il
der the situation and then resolve to cast C
cir ballots for General. Coleman du Pont for II
lited States Senator and the entire Republican
ket" O.

THE PEAK OF RADICALISM-or one of the
highest peaks-is to be found in the following
plank of the Progressive platform:
I'VE favor submitting to the people a consti-
tutional amendment providing that Congress
may, by enacting statute, make it effective over
a judicial vote"
In other words, Congress may, by mere stat
utory enactment. make an unconstitutional
measure constitutional. This is deliberate sub
version of the constitution to the whim of Con-
gress-nOthing else.
1t is definite scheme to encourage Congress
to act in defiance of the constitution; and, if
there is an impartial judicial decision that the
constitution has been violated, to set aside the
authority of the courts and of the constitution
itself by mere repetition of the Congressional
fiat
Is the constitution worth having, or preserv-
ing, obeying? The so-calIed Progressive plat |
form thinks not. The American people have
heretofore thought otherwise. Because they
have thought otherwise for a century and a half |
we have a constitution and constitutional free
dom.

MILFORD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1924

A BRICK MASON who had lust finished a
days work for which he received $12 was ready
to step on the starter switch of his automobile
to go home to supper, when he was asked how
he intended to vote next November. "Do 1 look

his reply.

GEN. DAWES PLEADS for the removal of the
agricultural problem from politics. The charge
of political exploitation of the farmers must be
laid exclusively at the doors of the Democratic
party and of the third party. The views of the
Republican Administration agriculture have
been developed solely as the result of scientific
investigation. The problem of temporary finan-
cial relief for the farmers and of their perma-
nent economic betterment has not been hurried
ly rushed to solution. Experts in finance and
farm economics have given intensive study to
the question, and have recommended courses of
action that are now the settled policies of the
Coolidge Administration The War Finance Cor
poration was revived and loans of over $780,,
100000 of government funds were made. A pri-
vate corporation, under the leadership of the
President with a capital of $100.000,000 was
formed to aid the farmers of the Northwest. The
capital of the Federal Farm Loan system was in
creased A Cooperative Marketing Act was pass
ed and everything possible done to encourage
the farmer in a proper diversifcation of crops
and in group marketing. Those were all sound
proposals and have been followed despite the
cry of the Democrats and others for radical leg
islation that promised quicker relief but fore
bode disaster in the future.

PURPLE TORNADO BEATS BULLPUPS|
Simpson Shows Good Form To Beat Howard Reserves
 34 To 15

The Purple Tornado of Simpson Tech defeated the Howard college reserve cagesters Tuesday evening by a score of 34 to Is the game being marked by the steady playing of the Simpson team.
 The Howard reserves staged some good work at times having few periods during which a number of goals were made, several of the team showing up we'll during the few minutes of play they gave the Tornado some real opposition.
 AS usual Curdy Byrd was the high point man for the Techsters, ring ing up his share of the points. slick" Vincent was also in his usual form, playing an excellent game dur ing the greater part of the evening. Albert Vincent, Little Boy' Wright and "Buck" Ellis played good games at forwards and should make three excellent men for Coach Dick" Webb's Tornado during the season. James Harris, John Wilking and Dewey Byrd got in some good worS
 Espey, Draden and o. Smith played good games for the East Lakers with a number of other good men at guard and center, Snake" Rains us- ing 13 men during the game. It was the work of the forwards in taking the Tornado defense which made the score of the reserves possible.
 At no time during the game was the Tornado in danger as the Simp-- son boys managed to keep a good lead during the entire game. The encounter was remarkably free from fouls only two being called on the Tschsters and few more on the Bull UqRs.
 Wampson will open it's high school schedule Friday evening with an en- counter with Shades-Cahaba, other games following for the usual &C., tive season for the Tornado.
