THE SECRET OF LINCOLN'S
SUCCESS

The following in the opinion of
Alfred King, of North Arlington, N.
J., is one of the evidences Of indie
pendence of schools and precedent
which can not be repeated too often
as coming from Lincoln's own lips:
"That the Almighty does make
use of human agencies is one of the
plainest statements of the Bible. I
have had so many evidences of His
direction, so many instances when
I have been controlled by some other
power than my own will, that I
cannot doubt that this power comes
from above. I frequently see my way
clear to a decision when I am con-
scious that I have not sufficient facts
upon which to found it. But I can
not recall one instance in which I
have followed my own judgment,
on such decision, when the
results were unsatisfactory. I am
satisfied that when the Almighty
wants me to do or not to do any
particular thing He finds a way Of
letting me know it."

ministrators, instructs them to ell

1.-THE bootlegging business must pc

hint that the new enforcement ma
chine is to go beyond the mere boot
logger and illicit manufacturer ana
seek those who lend aid and com
fort to lawbreakers, was contained
in the memorandum.
The three main lines of attack
were outlined by Mr.. Andrews as
follows:
1. whipping out sources of supply
including impOftatiot, manufacture
diversion and transportation; ~
educating "the market" (the public)
to a kn0@ledge of the danger that

laws in the larger cities,
which reveal persons in all walks OF
life as responsible for the present

is "to assist and develop local law

DUB WASHINGTON LETTER
by National Editorial Association
(Snecial to ChrOnicle)

! NODGCldl W I'LL AOAASANJ
washington, Sept. BY far the
busiest man in Washington today IS
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
Lincoln C. Andrews, the new com
mander in chief Of Uncle Sans Anti
Rum army. The new prohibition
army mobilized September 1, but the
"a administrators named last week
have already left Washington to re-
organize their offices in the field.
The Headquarters force here, it was
indicated by Mr.. Andrews, probably
will be much altered by his change,
which will take place gradually, fol-
lowing the greatest shake-up in the
history of American enforcement OF
the Prohibition law.
Under the scheme of reorganiza-
ton, as outlined by Mr.. Andrews,
these district administrators are to
be supreme each in his own field.
Mr.. Andrews likens them to team
captains, each responsible for the
team he is to direct. And that, ac-
cording to Mr.. Andrews, means that
the district administrator is to have
a relative free hand in hiring and fir
ing his own subOrdinates.
In his new force, Mr.. Andrews has
named four men Of Regular Army
experience, one railroad executive
recommended by Judge E. H. Gary,
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, and has filled the remaining 19 |
administrative posts with men who |
have formerly been in the prohibi-
ton service. The maximum salary
is $4,000 per annum, and
this only to be paid in the larger and
more pOpulous areas. Mr.. Andrews
believes that about half of the "a ad-
will receive the maxi
mum and the others will grade
downward to about five thousand. 1t
was explained that the $4,000 limit
was fixed because there is no one in
the Internal Revenue Bureau, under
which the Prohibition Unit acts, who
receives more than this sum.
In discussing the subject with
newspaper men Mr.. Andrews, with
soldier-like frankness, said that the
had no accurate know
ledge of whether or not the coast
guard campaign against the vessels
IN Rum Rows has been a success or
/ failure. The government does not
know with any degree of accuracy
whatever whether the coast guard
has materially reduced the
amount of illicit liquor coming to
he United States from overseas, and
t has no means of knowing. How
,ver, the new organization will be
expected to provide the required
system of checks.
Whether Mr.. Andrews has been
lble to keep politics out Of the re-
organization is a matter I
# debate. The fact that so many of ]
he State directors who today were
Elevated to be district administrators f
we're originally appointed largely
With political endorsements, is q S
natter of comment. It is not to be '
however, that a number |
f state directors who are known to l
ave the support of some of the most
Republican Senators, re-
eived no advancement in the new G
cheme. It is notable, also, that ?
lree of the twenty-four district ad- '
illustrators named today are re-
red regular Army officers, personal
nd military friends and associates II
f Mr.. Andrews. Mr. Andrews re- e
ards it as advantageous to have a u
ilitary man in charge in the South u

IN ORDER that one may properly
appreciate the beauties of a southern
state under Democratic rule may be
evidenced by the statement of a lady
who has just returned from South
Carolina where she bought a half
pound box of candy for so cents and
on the back of it were five 1-cent
business tax stamps. 1t is reported
that in addition to this nuisance tax,
South Carolina has many other
taxes, even including those on ice
cream sodas at the fountain and the
beauty of it is that these taxes are
not given to the government to pay
the war debt but are used to cover
appropriations made by state Demo-
cratic officials who evidently have
not yet learned that the World War
is over and that nuisance taxes have
long since been abolished in fully
enlightened commOnwealths.
Milford chronicle., 1925-09-04

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE stands
for a reduction of the tax that thC
man with a small income pays. Mr.
Coolidge has let it be known that his
stand on the matter is one that can
not be misunderstood. He feels that
the little salary man, the man with
a small or medium sized business, in
fact every wage Garner, must be ben
Gifted by as large a cut in the taxes
he pays as possible.
The President is also determined
that there be a reduction of the sur
tax. This would mean that many
hundreds of millions of dollars now
tied up in tax exempt bonds and in
other securities would be available
for the extension or continuation of
the industries of the nation which
means a continuation of good times
and good wages.
If the financial affairs of the gov
ernment will permit it and demo-
cratic or insurgent members of the
House or Senate do not block it the
chances are that taxes on incomes
of five thousand dollars or less will
be reduced to one per cent.
During his stay at Swampscott
the President held conferences with
Congressman Martin Madden, chair
man of the House Appropriations
Committee and other prominent men
of the House and Senate. Upon all
of them he impressed the fact that
he is firm in his determination to
reduce taxes and he wants it done
at as early a date as possible.

WITH MORE game wardens and
the money from the dog licenses
available for enforcement of the
game laws, there should be more
general observance of the hunting
laws than was ever before known in
Delaware. Ignorance is no excuse
for breaking the hunting laws. Es-
pecially is this true, because the
laws have been printed in pamphlet
form and distributed in all parts of
Delaware, as well as in other states.
Hunting in another county than that
in which you reside, requires gun
ming license from the State Game
Warden. Trapping of game animals,
birds and other wild things, can
only be carried on under certain
regulations. In no case can game
be sold for profit by dealers; only
the gunner can sell squirrels, rab-
bits or birds killed in the open sea-
son, and no one may have such game
in their possession before or after
the open season for hunting the
game shall have started or closed. |
The fishing laws are equally to be
observed and the taking of fish from
lakes by nets is forbidden. Delaware
needs to preserve the game, or there
will be total determination of squir-
rels, rabbits and quail. The musk
rats have become one of the impor-
tant assets of marsh lands, and their
trapping is regulated to protect
hem at proper seasons against

LIFE rs a free school in which
every person learns from experience.
When the boy or girl graduates from
the public schools where the theory
of education is taught, they pass in
to the great public school of the
world, with just the same depart
ments for instructing and imparting
knowledge as had the schools where
for twelve years they had passed in
educational studies. Happiness and
sorrow are training for human be-
ings, which serve to create and build
up strong men and women, capable
of carrying on both business and
civil forms in government. Sorrow
has it's own language and only those
who taste the bitter understand it.
Suffering furnishes a splendid op-
portunity to learn how to sympathize
and it is just here that we learn
what a message of cheer means to
a heavy heart. Life is a school from
the cradle to the grave; and, happy
is that person who learns how to
profit through experience.

OYSTERS are very important
part of diet for many families and
especially Delawareans, who from
early childhood learn to appreciate
oysters for their real worth. The
laws which regulate taking of oys-
ters from the waters of Delaware
Bay and the various rivers flowing
into it from Delaware, are more or
less complicated. They vary in date
for the open season in almost every
stream, while the open season in the
bay requires more or less study to
know when to catch with a dredge,
rake or tongs. But the fact, and
that is about all that the people
generally care anything for, is that
oysters of a fair to good quality
have been caught and sold in the
local markets of lower Delaware for
a week past. September first is the
open season in some of the streams,
while the fifteenth is fixed for
others; but, the open season for the
River oysters will not
open until the last day of the month.
In the meantime our market is sup
piled with oysters, which are get
ting to be just fine.

1T WILL BE well for those who
are members of Town Council and
other departments of civil govern
ment Of not only Milford, but other
towns, to remember, that if some
Hebrew dreamers had not been TAX
en- captive into Babylon, the very
name Of that once magnificent en-
pire, would long since have faded
from the minds Of men. Somebody
must suffer through criticism and
false statements, if a nation or gov
ernment is ever to be great, or ag-
gressive. 1t is always true, that a
nations history is mighty only when
seen against the background of its
martyrs and the sacrifices made by
those who serve. This does not
mean that we should set up as he
roes those who do nothing, or fail
to discharge the duties of their Of
fees; but it does mean, those who
have attempted to create the ideal
in all kinds Of government, and may
not have seen their work successful.
Criticism is proper and good for the
Dublic welfare, but it must be fol-
Owed up with practical suggestions
% be of value. Good town govern
nent, is application of practlcal

1T is time to make an example of
the next fool automobile driver, who
because he may have the right of
way over another machine, rushes
ahead and causes a deliberate kill
ing or injury to the other machine
with which he or she collides. Law
is made to protect those who use the
highways, and any driver who dis
regards the law through ignorance
or deliberate display of a lack Of
common sense, must be made to
realize that even in a case where he
or she may have the right of way
over an approaching driver, and
that driver disregards that right by
rushing ahead, then instead of de-
liberately creating a collision, he
has a duty to perform to the public,
as well as himself, to cause the ar
rest of the offender and cause pun
in the courts or before a
justice of the peace. The killing Of
a woman near Smyrna by an auto
mobile belonging to Maryland, was
the result of a fool who deliberate
Iy because he had the right of way,
ran down a motorcycle in which a
woman was riding in the side car,
and seriously injured himself and
another person. Right of way does
not carry the right to cause col
ision or endanger the life of others.
The same responsibility rests on all
Who drive automobiles, to observe
their own driving and al
10 to use judgment, so as to prevent
accidents where other drivers have

non sense in their driving. Reckless
irving has a wonderful broad scope

WIRELESS FAILS
To REACH
ARCTURUS
Scientific Expeditions Ship
Has Been Silent IL Days.
Is in Static Zone
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Radio
search for the steamer Arcturus
continued today in an effort to end
the twelve-day silence obtaining
since the vessel and its scientific
exploration party reported from
200 miles south of Panama, March
I29.
The Arcturus, with scientists
from the New York Geological So
ciety, headed by William Beebe,
put out from New York, February
10 to explore the Sargasso sea in
mid-Atlantic, then turned westward
through the Panama Canal for a
study of the Humboldt current off
the west coast of South America
and a visit to the Galapagos Is.
lands in the Pacific ocean.
The vessel put into Panama
March % for coal and provisions
before continuing south.
Daily reports have been received
in New York from the Arcturous
through the Independent Wireless
Company's station, the only wire
less plant in the vicinity capable
of reaching the vessel. The only
hours when a message might get
through to the ship from New
York, the station said, were be-
tween $3.50 to $50 a. M, when other
stations were "off the air" Be-
cause OF climatic conditions, the
Arcturus at present is in a region
described as "a terrible static zone"
/ The daily effort to get response
from one of the two powerful send
ing sets, consisting Of spark and
continuous rotary transmission
outfits. was made today without re-
suit.
Southern stations which might
reach the ship were called to aid
today. All are in, Central Amer
lea, at Panama, Cristobal and Bal
boa.
Because of the static which stood
as great barrier to wireless COM
munication and the fact that the
Humboldt current region is pro-
ductfve Of storms which might
disable the ships antennae, It was
not believed the silence meant the
Arcturus had met disaster.

The lower Federal courts sustain

they did constitute violation or
it, the law itself was invalid be-

In this brief it is contended the

impart a right Ito print or publish. !"
The solicitor general holds that
by inspection as used in the law,
is meant only the right to examine

necessary inference is THAT the

not carry with it the right to COM
