GOOD ENOUGH For ALL

A fervent prayer of citizenship
well might be, God keep the
schools of America American!"
AS yet, notwithstanding insidious
effort to promulgate peace propa-
ganda in the public schools, they
remain, distinctly and distinctively,
patriotically American.
Peace essays, debates and peace
culture are well enough, provided
they do not tend to weaken the
spirit of patriotism. But this spirit
never will be weakened if the Eenti-
ments of an Iowa school miss of
seventeen years become embodied
in the consciousness of American
youth. Her creed is good enough
for all of us. Here it is:
81 believe in the flag of the United
States-the living emblem Of our
great republic.
It symbolizes the freedom, equal
ity, justice and humanity for which
our forefathers sacrificed their
lives and personal property.
81 believe in its encircling protec-
ION, its guidance :rh it, ST. LIis~th.
Its mighty arm is fol ever raised
IL our license.
"I believe that it shields US and
will continue to do so until earth
and time shall be no more"
Here is pure patriotism, intelA-
gent national understanding, faith
in the all-inclusive symbolism of the
national standard.
1t is a faith that should shame
and confound the gnawers at the
foundations of the Constitution.
1t is a ringing challenge to the
Bolshevist and Fascist urges.
1t is the voice of America speak
ing from the lips of American
youth.
1t suggests summons to the
manhood of America to f1out and
defy all the cohorts of internation-
alism.
1t proves that patriotism still
rings true in the public schools OF
America. 1t is not the phase of
bombast or bluster, nor of militar-
ism, but the fine, free, confident ex-
preston of confidence in an fidel-
ity to all that America should mean
to the millions who are sheltered
under the protecting folds of its
incompatible banner Cincinnati

A TRnTH WE'LL TOLD

In an editorial the State News
comments on a very neat little pub
lication, which has been compiled
and printed by the Sunday Star in
Wilmington, which is for general
distribution with the object in view,
to let the world know about Della
ware, as a place for recreation,
pleasure and a place to be happy,
in the following language. 1t is so
we'll told, by the editorial in the
State News at Dover, that we re-
print it in the columns of the
Chronicle. that the widest publicity
may be attained, by those who will
be glad to know the facts as to
Delaware of today. The article fol-
lows:
Every once in while the Will
mington Sunday Star issues some
little gem of the printers art that
is not only a delight to the eye, but
is cram full of interesting data for
Delawareans. 1t will establish a
record for getting out something
excellent in this line, then turn
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

right around and break that record
with some new achievement.
The Stars latest effort to put
Delaware on the map is in the form
of very attractive little booklet, a
copy of which has just reached us,
being the 1926 edition of DAY Out
ings and Week Ends in Delaware
The Motorists Paradise" How any
motorist can page through that
booklet without feeling the urge to
come to Delaware is beyond our
ken.
The Star has rendered a real
service to Delaware and its people
in broadcasting this little booklet.
It is not large. comparatively, but
what there is of it is as full of in
teresting and valuable information
concerning this State as an egg is
OF meat.
There are etchings showing the
beautiful dupont Boulevard, rolling
like a long, white ribbon through
the hills of our State, pictures of
the many ancient buildings and
points of historical interest to be
found within the confines of our
little State, and there is entertain
ing descriptive matter concerning
various communities in the three
counties that is well worth the
reading. In fact, we consider it so
well worth while that we intend to
reprint considerable of the informa-
ton impaired therein in an early
edition of the State News.
We congratulate The Sunday Star
upon the real merit of the little
booklet, which will undoubtedly be
well received wherever it goes. And
we trust it will reach the eyes of
many thousands of residents o:
other States who do not realize the
delights that lie in a days outing
or weekend trip in an automobile
through the little Blue Hen State.

ONE HUNDRED WILL GRADUATE
AT UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

More than one hundred young men
and young women will graduate
from the University of Delaware at
the annual commencement exercises
next Monday morning. This will
probably be the largest joint class in
the history of the university. The
graduates at Delaware College will
number about go and at the Women's
College 40 or more.
A three day commencement pro-
gram has been planned. Saturday
will be observed as Alumni Day, the
baccalaureate sermon will be prea-
ched on Sunday and the commence
ment exercises Monday, June 7th. If
the weather permits the commence
ment will be held on the Delaware
College campus in front of Old Col
lege. A feature for that day will be
the presentation at the commence
ment luncheon following the exer-
cises of a portrait of John Bassett
Moore, distinguished international
lawyer and native of Delaware. It
will be gift to the University from
former Senator Willard Salisbury
and the presentation will be made
by Judge Hugh NJ. Morris.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

Spending is a childish pleasure;
saving is a mans happiness.
Truth, in the hands of some, seems
to be an elastic substance.
Each successive birth marks one
more incarnation of all the past.
The most horrible anguish in the
world is the barbed arrow that must
be pulled backward. So it is with
accusations falsely made.
Because a man happens to be ex-
travagant with his love is no sign
that he will ever come to want.
AS society" is constituted today,
it is just as well that it is exclu-
sive.
If you want the clearer vision
when looking through the telescope,
first put out all the lights. And in
the night of sorrow don't complain
it brings out the stars.
II you ever get even with the fell
low who does you wrong you Will
have to drop to his level. Revenge
is sweet but, if a fellow has to do
that, revenge costs too much.
Blot out everything from yester-
day that is disagreeable; start to-
day with clean sheet. Write upon
it, if for memory's sake alone, only
those things which are lovely.
Broadly speaking, freedom is not
liberty. Nor will liberty ever be
freedom in the full sense of the
word. We are not at liberty to do
as we please. When our thought and
act interfere with the rights and
privileges of another we are no long
er free. Freedom is always and only
the right to obey the expressed will
of the majority-and no more.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Written for Milford Chronicle by
Frank p. Litschert

You will now have the opportun-
ity of buying an Ericsson stamp.
The Post Office Department is issu-
ing 100000 of the stamps, of the
five-cent denomination. The object
of course, is to commemorate the
exploit of John Ericsson, builder of
the little gunboat called the Moni-
tor, which played so important a
part in the Civil War. The stamps
are being issued in connection with
the unveiling of the Ericsson statute
in Potomac Park, Washington,
which is taking place on May 30.
The Crown Prince of Sweden is to
be in Washington on that date, as
it will be remembered that Ericsson
was one of our notable Scandinav-
ian-Americans.

Governor Opens Delaware
Building

Delaware's building at the
Sesqui-Centennial Exposition
in Philadelphia, was formally
opened Monday morning by
Governor Robert P. Robinson.
Governor Robinson was re-
ceived by Mayor Kendrick at
1870 O'Clock, and with repre-
sentatives of the Delaware
Building Commission, was es-
corted by motor to the axposi-
tion site.
Throughout the day, Repre-
sentative James C. Hastings,
of Newark, member of the
Delaware Commission, receiv-
ed Delaware visitors. Samuel
Harper, colored, of Dover, is
caretaker of the building.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

The unveiling of the monument
came very appropriately on the day
before Memorial Day. Every school
boy, of course, knows the story of
the heroic exploit of the little Mon
itor. When the Unionists aban-
doned the Norfolk navy yard, they
sank. among other ships, the steam
frigate Merrimac. Later the Con-
federates raised the hulk and made
it over into an ironclad, which they
called the Virginia" Captain Bu-
chanan had charge of this formid-
able warship and on March 8, 1862,
he sailed out to attack some Union
wooden warships lying in Hampton
Roads. Ramming the wooden Cum
berland was easy work, and the

Maine, says that among the things
which will be discussed are the al
legged encroachments by the federal
government on state rights. and the
charge that while the government
at Washington is cutting expenses
and saving money, the state govern
ments are adding to the tax burdens
by increased expenditures.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

The meeting ought to be an inter-
esting one. Nearly all students OF
political affairs agree that the time
has come when there should be 70
additional taking over of local func-
tions by the federal government.
The governors will doubtless sup
port this contention AID in doing so
they will be in agreement with the
people. So far as the increase of
state expenses is concerned, it is
probably true that in many in
stances this has been over-empha-
sized. State expenditures increase,
of course, but the greatest increase
is in the construction of state high
ways which, in the main, are paid
for by the automobilists themsel-
yes.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

Nowadays when you see a girl in
knee dresses standing on the corner
with a bunch of posies in her hand,
you can't tell whether it's a little
flower or a June bride.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

The tax burden of the average
man is no longer increased to any
extent by the federal government
and it is true, too, that the amount
he paws in taxes for the support of
state government is, in most COM
monwealths, a small amount as com
nared with his county, township
and city taxes. For it is the home
community which gets nearly all
the average man, and the money is
spent at home for the schools, for
public buildings, for local roads and
other improvements. If there is to
be any great tax reduction from
this time on, it will have to be in
the curtailment of local expenses,
and the governors, when they meet
will perform a great service if they
will, in defending their states from
charges of extravaganza, emphasize
this point over and over again.
The governors conference will be
interesting too, in that several
prospective candidates for presi-
dent will be present. Most promi-
nent of these will doubtless be Gov
ernor Ritchie, of Maryland; Cover
nor Smith, of New York and Gov
ernor Donahey, of Ohio, all Demo-
Gratis. They are all Estate rights"
men, and will likely emphasize this
fact in their speeches. But Estates
rights" as used now, doesn't mean
what it did sixty years ago, and is
no longer a partisan question.
Treasury officials at Washington
believe that the treasury surplus
at the end of the fiscal year, June
80, will be higher than it was last
year, when it reached the sizable
sum of $225, 100000. The receipts
from income taxes are greater than
were expected, showing that the
country is really prosperous. 1t is
significant also that customs re-
ceipts are maintaining a high level,
reaching the $5OO,OOO,OOO figure ear
ly in May, and it is believed that
they will set new record. This
means that our imports are increas
ing in value, and might justify the
/ o11octioY of what has hecOme of the
free trade theory that our present
tariff must render us unable to do
foreign business because the other
countries wiuld be unable to pay
us either in money or goods. Beau
tiful theories are often tarnished
by facts.

People of the United States of all
classes are gradually coming to
realize the value of newspaper ad-
vertising, and the use of the col
umns of the newspaper, in the city
and village alike, for purposes of
paid publicity is growing steadily.
Now the progressive churches of
the country have come to recognize
the value of newspaper advertising.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-04

At any rate it is significant that
the churches have caught the value
of modern advertising. In this way
they have gone ahead of some of
our merchants who would probably
claim at least to be as modern as
the church. Every year American
life is becoming more complicated
and it is only by advertising with
message for mankind. be it a spirit
ual an ethical or a commercial Or
ganization, can hope to deliver its
message with any degree of success

of the governors of the United

States, without confidence in our
government, it's traditions and its
purposes?

the Union navy a lot of embarass-

naval warfare. Wooden ships were
rendered archaic by that battle at

SETH HARRIS rs
BADLY INJURED

Differences of opinion between
Seth Harris, mail carrier on the
Mountain Home-Rocky Bar route
and Charles Wyatt, a resident OF
the upper country, terminated Tues
day in a fight of rather serious pro-
portions at Featherville. 1t resulted
in Seth Harris receiving a blow from
hammer in the hands of his assail-
ant, Wyatt, which broke the bones
of his nose and so deranged the
lachrymal duct as TO seriously affect
his left eye. DR.. o. P. Hamilton at
tended to the dressing and care Of
his wounds and reports his condi-
tion as improving, though he is still
confined to his home. 1t is under
stood that no prosecutions will re-
suit from the fracas, and it is hoped
that Mr. Harris will be able to re-
sumo his duties on his route soon.
