More than one Legislator owes his
place to the gullibility of the aver
age voter who is content with SEEM
ingly undisputable proof Of being
close to Coolidge" Circumstantial
evidence of photographs is great
force for good or harm, according to
the viewpoint.
The change has benefited the
President. He has gained in weight,
seems more buoyant and is slightly
tanned. The sea breezes have con-
tributed greatly.
Mr.. Coolidge is a delightful host
and does his best to make one feel
that he is visiting home along the
seashore and not an aficial resi-
dence. In keeping with the simple
tastes of the distinguished occupants
there is a noteworthy absence of
frills, which mark the summer
homes of the social climbers, and
near-great.
The President delights to read and
occasionally saunters about the spa
cious grounds. Never having acquir-
ed a hankering for popular sports in
his busy youth, Mr.. Coolidge finds
little interest in these diversions
now when his slightest wish could
be realized. Mrs. Coolidge, however,
frequents the private bathing beach
and takes long hikes around the
countryside. The Coolidges have
been disappointment to those who
expected a gay social summer. They
are on vacation and that means rest
from society.
Mr.. Coolidge seated on the front
porch at White Court, facing the
sea, entertains his guests like any
other host. His anecdotes of local
life show that he is keen observer
of human nature.
OF necessity he must consider coal
strikes, cabinet changes, tax reduc-
ton, political squabbles, patronage,
and must endure the avalanche of
But, the President is
enjoying himself, he will tell you
so, and no better authority is re-
quired.

THE NEED OF PATRIOTISM

By Charles E. Hughes in an ad-
dress at the Faneuil Hall Celebra-
I'tion of the 15Oth Anniversary of the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
Our tables of mortality give us no
ground for the assurance of the lives
of republics as contrasted with en-
pires and we are too young to meas
ure with accuracy the strength of
the rival forces, upbuilding and de-
structive, which contend for mas
terry Both the most helpful and the
most injurious of these influences
are subtle, perWasive, working be-
meath the surfaces which at once
fascinate and deceive. But we know
that lessons in patriotism are part
of our essential national hygiene.
We study with intense interest and
sympathy the history of other peo-
pies, their aspirations, their rival
ries, the divisiVe economic urge; we
reflect upon the unceasing inter-
weaving of activities in the loom of
international relations, the interde-
pendence of nations crowding each
other in a world of new intimacies
and old antagonisms; we do well to
consider the need constantly becOm-
ing more imperative of mutual un-
derstanding and good will. But while
an exaggerated nationalism threat
ems both the peace of the world and
the security of those who foster it,
the decline of patriotism, the loss of
the thrall of the heroic, the lessen
ing of the self-sacrificing ardor
which makes devotion to home, to
altar, to country, the first obligation
and the loftiest privilege, would
spell such a failure in vitality, such !
surrender to brutality and tyran- !
ny, always to be found in some quar- /
ter awaiting opportunity, that social .
interests would wither at the root
and society so saved would not be
worth the saving. You may en- !
tighten patriotism; you may direct it .
by more intelligent discrimina-
ton; you may give it nobler con-
ception of it's demands, but you
could not afford, even if you were
able, to destroy it. There is no love
of mankind, beyond an ineffective
sentimentality which can flourish in
hearts whose soil is too thin to de-
velop the natural and hardy growth
of love of home and country. The
love of liberty begins at home. 1t is
nourished in a fierce struggle for in
dividual freedom. It spreads to the
community, asserting communal
rights in the common defense. It
builds a nation to safeguard the
privilege and opportunity of indi-
viduals and communities. ~

DeS
QUESTIONS THE TEACHER MAY
ASK THE COMMUNITY

Much has been written about the
demands that the community may
make of the teacher. Not so much
has been written upon the other
side of the question. That there is
another side no one doubts. Every
teacher has right to ask certain
questions of the community regard
ing its ability to furnish her with
comfortable living conditions.
It is encouraging to find that
school officials are giving increased
attention to the teachers side of the
subject. A good example is found
in the latest. report of the State
Board of Education of New Hamp-
shire. In discussing the subject OF
the home for rural teachers certain
questions are found which, it is
stated. a teacher has the right to
ask of her school community. Among
them are the following:
Is the community split by a neigh
borhood feud which is likely to en-
gulf the teacher or is it one which
defends the teacher against idle
gossip? Is there a boarding home
within a mile of the school in fam
ily of refinement? Will the teacher
have a private room, heat when nee
essary. and is the house provided
with the equipment and convenien-
ces of modern homes? Are there ar
rangements so that the teacher can
go to church on Sunday? The dis
cussion closes with the statement
that districts not answering these
questions satisfactorily can not eX-
meet to secure good teachers.
The opening of schools revives
discussion of the perplexing prob
lens connected with the teachers
boarding place. School officials and
others who have at heart the best in
terests of the school can do well to /
apply to their own communities the
questions asked in the New Hamp-
shire report.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES FOR
DIVIDENDS

In 1917, an exceptionally prosper
GUS war year, at least 100000 busi-
ness corporations in this country
failed to make profit; in fact, they
showed a total deficit for the year of
more than $6OO,OOO,O00 At the end
of 1921, more than half of some $780,
600 reporting corporations had an
aggregate loss of nearly $4,000 O,OOO,-
600 to show for their twelve months
effort In the United States, in good
years, nearly l per cent of all busi-
ness concerns fail. In bad years the
proportion of failures is more than
twice as large.
Where are the exorbitant profits
that many people imagine corpora
tions earn every year? In reality,
business is not always conducted at
a profit. A corporation may enjoy
exceptional prosperity this year, and
next year shoulder heavy losses. Not
only does the sum total of business
profits fuctuate widely from year to
year. but also the earnings of the
various industries and the different
companies within the same industry.
Occasionally, company will find a
field in which the profits are large,
but soon the field is crowded and
competition tends to cut the rate of
return. War and weather, fashion
and finance, demands and depres-
sions. cycles and competition have
varying effects on the different in
dustries, and provide the risks to
which investments are always sub
ject. When you wish to make a safe
investment, push aside all promises
and big talk about what the COM
pany is going to do. What has 1t
done? That's the true test. Get its
history of actual results obtained,
not mere promises.

WHY THIS GREAT OUTCRY
against the increased cost of the
state government on the part Of The
Evening Journal, of Wilmington,
followed with an editorial of like
character in the Dover Republican?
Why this cry and insinuation that
the cost of government is caused by
Governor Robinson and his official
family? Why this howl and furor
at this time, when the legislature is
not in session and remedy from any
existing laws cannot be secured
without legislative approval? Again,
why the sudden change in editorial
demands in the Journal in the past
few months? During the sessions
of the last legislature our Whining
ton contemporary was one of the
staunchest advocates of increased
appropriations for the University of
Delaware-an institution which an
nually is demanding more and more
of the taxpayers money for upkeep
and maintenance. Increased build
ings for the University was the Jour-
nails demand, in order that the Wo-
mems College might advance and
grow; yet this meant increased cost
in the state government. Governor
Robinson approved the bill it is true,
but Republicans and Democrats of
Il factions had passed it through |
the legislature before it reached his
desk. The Journal in past adminis-
trations has favored many of the
fads and fantasies which were made
into laws, and which demand state
funds for their maintenance and
operation. In all fairness can this
be charged against our present State
Our observance of
the Robinson administration, and of
the State Department under Secre-
tary of State Taylor, has been that
it is one of sound business policy to
date; and there are no surface indi-
cations that this policy is about to
change. Would it not be far better
for the Journal, and the Dover news
paper which echoes its economy cry,
to offer a real constructive program
for effecting economies in the state
than to now insinuate
that Governor Robinson and his ad-
are to blame for the
cost of government? Let the Jour-
nal cite concrete instances where
savings may be made and with the
citation. give facts if not figures to

will then believe that the objective

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KEEP
BOOKS

Farmers as a whole do not keep
books. Consequently, they do not
know Just what or where their
losses and gains are nor where to
Mug up the leaks or to increase the
nrofts. That's a brick-bat frequent
" flung at agriculture. It's missile
that can be shot right back to town.
More than half the businesses of this
country do not have adequate ac-
counting systems. They keep books
it is true. after a fashion, but so
poorly that they do not know the
leaks in various processes or steps
of the business and consequently do
not know how to stop those losses
OF turn them into profits.
When you buy stock in a company
you become a part owner of the COM
pany. The company takes your
money and operates property OF
which you are a part owner. If 1t
hasn't an adequate accounting sys-
TEN it very probably is wasting your
money and your property. Isn't 1t
urgent common sense to get the his
tory of the company in which you
buy stock to see if your money and
property will be wasted?

quarrels out of the financial affairs
of Delaware. Now is neither the
time or place for threshing out fac
tional troubles, by attack on the
state government. The people are
willing to permit Governor Robin
sons administration to demonstrate
its worth. If it should fail, and we
see no indication of failure, it would
be no worse than some of the others
which have preceded it..

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(By National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)

4 10y NcAtAOhesA 444AbOA AlN4 @A9ANN4-SAN
Especial to Chronicle)
SwampscOtt, Mass, August 19-In
visiting the summer capital here, it
is natural that observers first make
contrast between Swampscott and
Washington. The scene at the White
Court differs but little from the life
at the Executive Mansion. The
scenic investiture, particularly the
ocean vista, is the only reminder
that the President is vacationing.
Though the number of visitors is
necessarily restricted, there is a
certain hustle and hustle which en-
phasizes the fact that the Nation
cannot be without an Executive. The
atmosphere of off1cialdom may be
missing from men in other walks of
life but this restful informality is
denied the President.
Washington is exceedingly dull
during the August dog days" There
is no appreciable reduction in the
volume of official mail. While Ru-
dolph Forester, efficient and quiet
executive clerk attempts to separate
the wheat from the chaff at Wash
ington, a large portion of the corre-
spondence is forwarded to Lynn,
where the executive offices have
been temporarily installed. Secretar-
les and couriers motor to and from
White Court. The wheels of Govern
ment never halt. Problems of mag
nitude are always cropping up.
The exigencies of politics bring
numerous notable to the summer
capital. Members of the Senate and
House, having sharp contests in
their own states, feel it desirable
to talk things over with President
Coolidge.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
President rarely comments on stu
ations outlined by legislators and |
political leaders, it does not prevent
the latter from giving their views.
Perhaps the mere act of barring their
ambitions to a quiet understanding
man is in itself, form or mental
relief.
Whenever possible Legislators
have photographs taken with Mr.
Coolidge, the theory being that their
will be impressed with
yisable evidence that their represen-
.atives are on a social and political
ooting.

MILFORD. FRIDAY, AUG. 21, 1925

THE CAMPAIGN BY THE State
Board of Health to safeguard the
health of Delaware through enforce
ment of the milk laws of the state
is having its effect. Dairymen and
farmers generally are cooperating
with the officials to better the milk
supply; but, in few instances
while complying with the demands
of the State Board of Health, there
is an inclination to take an attitude
of antagonism. This was demon
strated last week when one of the
local dairymen in an interview with
a representative of the Chronicle,
demanded that his name should be
eliminated from all publications of
any part of official reports as pre-
pared and sent out by the State
Board to newspapers for publica-
ton. These reports in question
showed results of monthly inspec-
tions and tests made by representa-
tives of the State Health Board. So
far as we know samples were taken
and tests made without fear or favor
and the results are published by the
Chronicle and other newspapers in
Delaware with the knowledge that
they are official, and with no intent
to injury of dairymen. The dairyman
in question evidently overlooked the
fact that the milk consuming public
is entitled to information as to the
condition of the milk which it buys.
That is the purpose and object of
the law. He also overlooks the fact
that it is the duty of all newspapers
to print this information when it is
within reach of that publication. He
took the narrow view that his inter
ests were above those of the public,
and that his failure to better the
product was a serious health prob
lem and of public concern. When re-
ports of the State Board Of Health |
are received at this Office, the Chron-
icle will print any and all parts
which are of public interest, regard
less as to who may be involved. This
is certain, and our dairyman friend
will find his name in the list, if it
appears in the report handed to this
paper by the State Board of Health
for publication.

In the elements of weight, strength,
foot ball aptitude and experience the
first-year squad is far above that of
and it will also have the benefits of
exceptional coaching and an early
start on the big fellows.
Gets Jump in Practice.
Beginning practice three weeks be-
fore the main squad, there is every
chance that the varsity, which will
for the opening game of the season,
here on October against William and
Mary, will have a little more than
they can handle at the start.
While only a tentative examination
of the material on hand has been
made, it has been found that there
are numerous members of the class
who have already made good on fine
school and even college elevenS. The
number of big fellows is particularly
notable, six having already been noted
weighing from 100 to 20S pounds, and
all with foot ball experience.
The coaching of the plebes should be
particularly good also. Lieut.. Comdr
Talmage Wilson of the Medical Corps
will be chief coach. He played at
Georgia Tech in the best days of the
Golden Tornado" and coached the
naval team at Honolulu for several
seasons with great success. Naval
officers who have been in touch with
his work speak very highly of it and
are delighted that he will have charge
of the plebes.
The assistant coach, Lieut.. Tommy
Scaffe, will give particular attention
to the line candidates. He was q
