MILFORD, FRIDAY, FEB. 26, 1926

AS TIME PASSES the real value
OF Everett c. Johnson as a factor IL
that, which goes to build the best IL
civil government will be recognized
by the people of the State OF Della
ware. His unexpected death last
Saturday morning closed the life
work of man who had visions OF
the future, and who knew how to
work out his dreams for the ad-
yancement of all forms of civic gov
ernment and the moral uplift Of the
neople of the entire state. Such men
as Everett c. Johnson was in his
brief lifetime, are few in any of the
states of the United States, or i'll
other countries. He was man with
human ideas, with ability to see
what the results of policies would
work out for the people in the fu-
ture, and he had the ability to pre-
sent plans for accomplishing that
work, in such concrete form that 1t
was not confusing, but carried con-
viction of fairness, justice and sub
stantial returns. This was epecially
true of education and the objects
for which it should aim. He made
friends everywhere he came into
contact with the people of ability to
create and accomplish things in
large ways. While a dreamer of
dreams, he had the ability to work
with those who could and did cause
his dreams to become realities. For
this especial reason, the institutions
of learning from the University OF
Delaware to the modest rural school
fnTDelaware, have lost a strong |
friend. His personal life was such |
that il was indeed fortunate to be !
one of his close associates. He was
inspiring and likeable in social and
business affairs, and his aspirations
to carry on the splendid ideals of
his deep studied plans for advanc-
ing the effective and moral stand
ards of social as well as government
found willing helpers everywhere.
He knew rural Delaware as no other
man knew it and the thoughts and
purposes of the people. Delaware !
lost much that will not be realized !
at once, when Everett C. Johnson
died, for his plans had not been COM
pleted and unfortunately their de-
tails have passed with him.

THE DEMOCRATS who only a
few months ago in their newspapers
were daily winning control of the
House and Senate in the 1926 elec-
zion have begun to worry over the
soundness of their prediction. From
certain states where previously they
expected victories, they have learn
ed that the voters are in a state of
mind, in view of Democratic antics,
as to whether if they go further they
may not fare worse.
The voters have begun to appre-
ciate that even the highest minded
Democrat, once he takes his seat in
the Senate, is hog-tied to the rules
and precedents as established by
Pat Harrison, Tom Heflin and the
other real leaders of the Democratic
party. In short, that in selecting a
senator for service and attention to
the public business, the standards
of the party with which he is af1li-
ated are the ruling and determining
influences which makes his own per-
sonal integrity an incidental mat
ter. AS a result, in several Of the
states the wave of enthusiasm hav-
ing failed to develop Democratic
successors to Republican senators,
the ratio of chance has been mater
tally discorgted.

The hospitality and many kind

A STRIKE, especially one of such
magnitude as the coal strike recent
ly ended, does not tend to create an
atmosphere for sober, sane legisla-
tive action. On that ground, Con-
gress may find some excuse for its
failure to enact into law the Presi-
dents suggestions as made in his
message to Congress in December,
wherein he referred at length to the
report of the fact-fnding commits
sion headed by John Hays Hammond
I'd suggested action. The present,
uNer, is joone too soon for the in
on of actual legislation.
over SIG, 100000 was e. pended by
the operators in caring for their
coal properties during the strike,
and the total money loss in profits
of the operators and wages to the
miners is a distressing figure. More
important still, the suffering and
disease and the bodily inconvenience
which fell upon the consumer as a
result of the strike calls for action.
It is not easy to say what form the
legislation should take, but almost
any sound remedy is worthy of at
tention.
