place as an official residence, it was
estimated that his salary as Vice
president would not be sufficient to
pay for the servants that were nee
essary to maintain such home, and
there is no appropriation for resi-
dence for the Vice-presidents. Few
people realize the conditions neces-
sary for the acceptance Of a home,
even temporary, for the President of
the United States. It must be passed
upon by the United States Secret
Service which, under the law, is re-
sponsible for the safety of the Presi-
dent. They require a building which
will permit policing as well as GER
tain comforts. Once a building has
been occupied by the Chief Execu-
tive it becomes a famous landmark
and its realty value increases many

THE TWO.THIRDs RULE

Evidence is piling up that the
Democratic Party is preparing for
a fight to a finish in rLs convention
of 1928. This, of course, will be hail
ed with some glee by the brethren
in the Republican Party who remem-
ber what easy sailing the Democrat
ic convention fiascO of 1924 gave
them.
And the best evidence that a fin
ish fight is being prepared lies in
the fact that there is now sincere
movement on foot to abolish the
time-hOnored twO-thirds rule which
has long been necessary for choice
of candidates in a Democratic con-
vention. In fact this rule has been
in effect since 1882, when the con-
vention met to nominate Andrew
Jackson for the Presidency.
1t seems now that the followers
of William G. McAdoo and Cover
nor AL. Smith, bitter rivals in 1924,
are in favor of abOlishing the two
thirds rule, so that a majority of the
delegates can name the candidates,
as is the rule now in Republican
conventions. This, if true, can only
mean that the followers of William
G. McAdoo and the followers of Al.
Smith, who are as far apart as the
poles on many issues, are determined
to have a real showdown of strength
for the purpose of seeing who is the
real boss of the Democratic Party.
In 1924 McAdoo might have been
nominated had the majority rule
been in effect. Evidently Governor
Smiths friends believe that by 1928
he will have grown so in the party
councils that he can command ma
jority of the delegates. Supporters of
McAdoo, remembering his strength
in 1924, doubtless feel that the Cali
fornian can be nominated in case of
a majority choice.
If the two-thirds rule were kept
in effect, it is very likely that nei-
ther man could be nominated, and
another compromise would be fore
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18

ed, as was the case in 1924. The
most significant fact therefore is
that the supporters of McAdoo and
Smith seem to have decided that
they prefer finish fight to another
compromise, with the elimination
of either one or the other from a
commanding place in the councils of
the party.
Such a finish fight might easily
wreck the party so far as the 1928
campaign is concerned, but on the
other hand, there is no alluring
prospect of victory in another long
drawn-out convention with a COM
promise candidate as the result, af-
ter everybody has become tired ana
disgusted with the whole affair
The Republican Party has its
troubles, too, but they are not so
fundamental as those which split the
Democrats into two hostile camps.
The moves made on the Democratic
chessboard within the next few
months will be worth watching.

The WORLD is FULL O. SUNSHINE

Spring again! That means the time is
here for makin's better friends;
People feels a lot more human when the
long, cold Winter ends
This oil world was made fer laughter.
seasoned jest a bit with tears,
So I'd like to send a few oP-fashioned
heart -throbS down the years.
l like to see folks happy an ! like to
hear en- sing
Oh, the time that's best to sow the
seeds o love is in the Spring!
Yes. the world is full O. sunshine, but
some folks don't seem to know
That you've got to open wide yer doors
if you would find it so.
People amt much good as neighbors till
the grass gets pretty long
An they has to borrow garden toolsI
They find there amt much wrong
In eXchangin' bulbs an lilac roots, and
swappin' friendly chat,
Cause the Springtime makes 'em feel
that life was made fer things like
that.
There's a lot o. satisfaction to be got
from CROWN smiles;
1t amt long before their sweetness fills
the air fer miles an milesi
There amt half as many flowers as
there really ought to be,
So that leaves heap o. cheer-prOducin'
chance fer you an me-
While the Springtime brings us bird
songs an there's beauty every
where,
I'm right glad that when we're plantin'
shrubs we're diggin' graves fer care.
Spring is here! The bees is hummin'!
Don't you hear that robin sing?
He's describin' with his music all the
joy the blossoms bring
Life is surely wo'th the livin' when yer
heart is young an free.
And yer maxim others happy like you
know they'd Oughter be-
There amt no two ways about it, folks
that get their share o. cheer
Is the ones that play together in the
Springtime of the year.

for this legislation on the calendar.
1t is expected that the Senate will
dispose of the Agricultural Relief
measures within day or two. With
numerous amendments pending it
seems that whatever agricultural
legislation is enacted in the Senate
will be patchwork proposition at
best.
Investigation into the PennsylVa-
MIA primaries, which has revealed
enormous expenditures far in excess
of those reported, may give the Spe-
cial Senate Committee plenty ma
terial for study during the summer
months. 1t has been predicted that
these revelations of large expendi-
lures for Federal Offices will have
far-reaching effect in the forthcom-
ing elections. The prohibition issue
continues to occupy a fair share of
the space in the Congressional Rec
ord. The recent demand of Senator
Wadsworth for the substitution of
the Canadian form of temperance
and the decision of the so-called
"dry" forces to oppose Senator
Wadsworth in the New York primar-
les has projected the "wet and dry"
issue into the political discussions
in unmistakable terms.
President Coolidge finds himself
driven from home and from church
by engineers who have pronounced
the White House and the First Con-
gressionaI Church unsafe. It will re-
quire several months to repair the
White House, and Congress has ap-
propriated an amount for this pur-
pose. It is doubtful that the work
will be undertaken until the Presi-
dent leaves for his summer home in
the Adirondacks. However, it will be
necessary for him to have another
residence in Washington temporarily
on his return. Several homes have
been offered to him, but no accep-
tance has been announced. The sug-
gestion has been made that he should
occupy the magnificent home on Six
teenth Street across from several
foreign embassies. This building is
one of the beauty spots of Washing
ton, but has never been occupied be-
cause Mrs. Henderson, the owner,
built it as an official residence for
the Vice-presidents Of the United
States. The Government does not
provide homes for Vice-presidents. 1t
was built during Coolidge's term but
he rejected the offer and preferred to
live in local hotel. Mr.. Dawes like
wise refused to occupy the building. |
At the time Coolidge declined the !

TO MAKE MEN THINK
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

I'd rather make men think than rule a
nation!
I'd rather touch their hearts with sem
timent
Than govern all the peoples in creation
And try by force to quell their dis
content.
To make men think and, thinking,
reach decisions
That lift them from the dust toward
better things
Here surely is a program whose pro-
visions
Outweigh the might of presidents and
kings!
If I can stimulate a mans emotions
And so appeal to natural desire,
Then can l sway his thoughts and his
devotions
Or thrill his very soul with ardent
fire.
If I can make men think-if may guide
them
Along the only way to happiness
If, as their friend. 1 walk and talk be-
side them,
My life will be a genuine success.

ed me,
To me belongs tonight the victor's right
to know
A certain satisfaction and content.
I do believe that 1 have done my best,
and so
I view with pride today's accom-
plishment!
But let me not forget that what today
was good
viii never meet the test tomorrow
gives.
Perhaps today I did the very best I
could,
But great success is won by him who
lives
In constant striving toward higher,
better goal;
And so I pray that every morning
sun
Will stimulate a new ambition in my
soul
Until do the best that can be done!

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

] OOAh w LIZ l. LII
(From National Editorial Association)
Especial to Chronicle)
! Washington, June 16-There is a
certain feverish activity apparent IN
legislative circles as the returns
from the primaries in various states
are analyzed. The casualty list
among the present incumbents in the
Senate and House brings with it a
recognition of the proverb that "ear-
ly and provident fear is the mother
of safety" The old method of stand
ing on their record in Congress is
gradually going into discard for the
reason that up-turnings in densely
populated states tell another story.
There is more talk in Washington
, today about the possibilities of the
Democrats controlling the Senate
, and House than on current legisla-
tive topics, such as farm relief and
foreign debt settlements. Groups OF
men gather in the cloak rooms of the
Senate and House frequently during
the afternoons, and the principal
topics of conversation are the pri-
maries and elections.
A survey indicates that if the mem
bers of Congress could consult their
own inclinations exclusively, ad-
journment would follow within few
days. They are no longer smugly
complacent about the record of the
present Congress and their individ-
ual performance. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that direct primaries do not en-
courage tranquility for occupants Of
political office.
AS in war, the question Of leader
ship crops UP when grinding col
lision occurs, as theories meet facts.
Some of the complaints noted at the
Capitol are to the effect many party
leaders are selected for financial
reasons, wherein qualities as STRAIT
egists are not considered. In other
words, the tendency of late has been
to have men head various commit
tees who are rarely endowed with
political sagacity, but have af1lia-
tions which will bring money into
campaign chests of the various par
ties.
In private conversations among
those nominally regarded as partisan
chiefs, a hope is expressed that
strong men will be developed from
their own ranks within the next few
months. 1t is true that national cam
paign committees are always in ex-
istence, but somehow they never
seem to function properly on either
side.
The Senate may find itself con-
fronted with a flibuster during the
last days Of the session. The enact
ment of the river and harbors ap-
preparation bill in the House was an
easy matter as compared with the
situation in the Senate. Some sena-
tors are disposed to hold the legis-
lation over until the next session,
but the demand for this patronage !
comes mainly from the Middle West |!
and few communities on the coast. |
Pressure has been brought to bear |
on the senate leaders to find a place

BE HAPPY TODAY

No, folks wouldn't like the sunshine
Half so much without some rain,
An we prize good fortune better
If we've had share O. pain.
It's the little Disappointment
Yes, an greater problems, too
That we all must learn is helpful!
Looks to me like when folks do
What they know is right, an frienly
To sumebuddy else, they find
That the day has brought 'em gladness
An they leave its cares behind.

WORK AND IT'S REWARD
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

Do your work!
No matter what the task may be,
Attack it with heroic zeal,
Be not content until you see
Accomplishment, until you feel
That satisfaction gained alone
Through sense of duty nobly done;
So is your honest value shown,
So is appreciation won.
Do your work!
Not just the labor specified,
But with a willing heart do more.
Let loyal service be your guide!
The joys of life are waiting for
That man who never fails to do
His very best, and he will find
Untold reward in purpose true
And self-respect and peace of mind
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18
BOOSTING THE HOME TOWN

Quite often we get good sound ad-
vice to the effect that we ought so
far as possible to buy goods made in
America. 1t is the theory of the pro-
tective tariff advocates that when
American goods are bought and con-
sumed the money goes to keeping
American workers employed and
American capital active.
And if it is true, as it. undoubtedly
is, that we ought TO favor American
goods wherever possible. it is also
true that we ought in The same
measure favor the goods which are
manufactured and sold in our home
community. For Just as we are in
favor of building up American in
dustries as whole, we should strive
for the progress and prosperity of
the town or city in which we live.
1t is a good rule, therefore, to
patronize the business men of our
own community and to purchase so
far as possible goods manufactured
in the home community. A great
many American cities feature this
home consumption campaign. They
ask the people to buy from local
merchants, and they ask. the mer-
chants to push, so far as possible,
the goods manufactured at home.
And communities which feature this
patriotic rule are always numbered
among the most progressive in The
whole country. Their business
slumps are few and far between and
they are often prosperous and pro-
gressive when communities with less
civic consciousness are foundering
in the slough of depression.
After all, it is the community in
which we live that shapes our char
acter and the characters of our chill
dren. If the community is clean,
progressive, with a fine sense of civ
ic pride, and with good local insti-
tutions. we are apt to be happy and
progressive ourselves. And to form
such community we must keep the
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18

civic consciousness alive, and, as far
as possible, keep our money at home
for local development.
Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18

they failed to perform one of the
parts of duty which a public officer,
or member of a Town Council,
should regard as a public duty. 1t
certainly is not a matter of personal
privilege or desire, to refuse to meet
any organized body of the people of
the town which they represent as
administrators of public laws. There
has been full and plenty of this par
ticular kind of service, or lack of
service, given to the Town of Mil
ford from men chosen to serve the
public.
THE RESULT as shown by votes
cast at the referendum election, last
Saturday as to building new school
in Milford, is no cause for discour-
agement On the part of those who
know and realize the need and i'm
portance to the children of Milford,
of a school in which they may be ac-
commodated under proper health
conditions in their school life work.
There were several sources which
the opposition workers applied,
which will confound the aspirations
of some of those who aspire to mem
bership in the legislature, and even
the State government. The record of
last Saturday will be damaging, if
not ruinous in the political cam
paign before the people this fall.
Just remember that the schools will
be continued from July 1926 to July
1927, exactly as they have been in the
past in the buildings used by the
Special School District Of Milford.
What the legislature will provide
for after that time, will be ample
time to consider between now and
then. No man or woman can be elec-
ted to the legislature Of Delaware,
who is an enemy to public school
education; the manhood and woman
hood of Delaware will never sink to
the level, where children will be
sacrificed to ignorance or miserly
support from selfish people.
Se@
THE DEATH of a child last Sun
day on the highway near Milford, is
indeed a sad item Of news to read,
but let us hope that such another
will not happen again. Yet so long
as parents themselves are careless
as to walking on roads where strings
of automobiles are travelling in Op-
posite directions at the same time,
just that long will such narrowing
news be presented to various COM
munities. Children must be taught
to be careful when crossing high
ways; but, they must also be taught
by repeated instruction, that it is
dangerous to walk on any travelled
highway at all times. Too often
children regard it as a joke, to cause
drivers of automobiles to swerve
across the roadway to avoid strik-
ing them. The case often happens
that another auto is approaching
from the opposite direction, and the
driver has not the time or space to
avoid collision with either the ap-
preaching auto, or the child. That is
thoughtless on the part of the child
and it must be taught to regard the
rights of others. 1t certainly is
wrong to put a driver who has four
or five people in his charge in a po-
sition where he must either jeopar-
die all five lives, to save that of a
thoughtless child, which should have
been taught to be careful by the par
ents.
