ALL THE Izaac Waltons Of the
country over are coming into their
own by reason Of the interest which
the President has displayed in fish
ing. Acanvass made the other day
at the sporting goods stores in
Washington, revealed the fact that
boys, girls, young men and young
women, as well as a number of the
old folks, aroused by the success
which the President has had, were
focking to the stores for the purpose
of purchasing tackle. The Potomac

The impetus given to the schooI
building construction plan by the
Delaware School Auxiliary, organic
ed through the generosity of Pierre
S. DUPONT, it is cited, has had won
derful results in building up an eff
cient state system. The 500 miles or
concrete highway, superbly planned,
which the booklet treats in another
section, aids in rural education.
Measured proportionately, Della
ware has no peer when it comes to
road system, it is cited. General
/ T. C. DUPONT is given credit for a
great share of this achievement. He
is cited that lit is known that he
gave $4,OOO,OOO," to build the back
bone" of the system. In this con-
nection, the beauties and natural
scenery along the highway are
enumerated.
The booklet is amply illustrated
with photographs of active and pic
turesque scenes about the state.
They were made by Roydon H.
Hammond of the Agricultural De-
partment. A picture of the famous
lighthouse at Cape Henlopen deco
rates the cover. A portrait of Gov
ernor Robert P. Robinson is on the
first page. The present Cooch's
Bridge, which recently was the sub
ject Of an historical discussion and
the public buildings of Dover to-
gether with a group of four histori-
cal subjects, including Barratt's Cha
pei and it's interior, Old Swede
Church of Wilmington and its in
terror, and Old Drawers Church
near Odessa, are found in the his
torical section. An oyster fleet at
Little Greek, and a quail's nest, con-
tanning seventeen eggs, feature the
conservation section. Pictures Of
public schools and buildings of the
University of Delaware are found
in the educational section. Reno
both Beach and Oak Orchard scenes
are pictured. A fine view Of the
DUPONT Road, through Glendale
swamp, is to be found. There are
scores of interesting scenes Of crops
and industries.
The agriculture board consists of
Oliver A. Newton, president; New
ton L. Grubb, vice president; Wal
ter L. Mifflin and Ralph C. Wilson,

SENATOR JOE ROBINSON was
quite sincere, it is said, when he in
vited the Republicans of the West
to join with the Democrats Of the
South an doverturn the American
tariff system.
The combination of the South and
the West proposed by Senator Robin
son is an unnatural one, for the
South has been the traditional cne-
my of the West in economic matters
affecting the latter region. Proofs
innumerable might be cited, none
more eloquent than comparison of
the tariff bills of the two parties.
The Democrats controlled IN 1894,
and enacted a tariff law refusing
protection to practically all farm
products. They controlled again in
1913, and again they assaulted the
duties on farm products.
Beef, lamb, mutton, sheep, milk,
cream, corn, rye, wheat and flour,
the Democrats put on the Free List
in the Underwood Bill.
The Underwood tariff of 1913 was
dictated throughout by Southern
statesmen of the type of Mr.. Robin
son, who now calls upon the West to
join him in a further assault on pro-
lection, and it was in full blast in
1921 when, to protect the agricultur-
al producers from utter humiliation,
Congress was compelled to pass the
act, erecting protective
barrier about all farm products
which at least gave the farmer
chance to remain alive.

NEWSPAPER observers at White
Pine Camp, where the President is
report that instead Of
an eight-hour-day, he is running
ten-hour-day up there. With the pri-
vate telegraphic wires direct to

lines, there is no interruption in the
daily grind Of work. Twice a day
letter bags are dispatched for Wash
ngton containing the mail, and it is
given the same attention and carried |
IN with the same exactness and cor
rectness equal to conditions when
he Presidents view extended simp-
y to the White House grounds in
stead of as now into the New York
behind him. The Presi-
lent is fortunate, and the American
)eople are fortunate in the fact that
le secures a fine sense of enjoyment
rom the opportunity to work. In
Iced, there is no denying, he would
re rather unhappy man if in any
way he was shut off from this chance
o carry on. Absolutely Characters

f the fact that when Secretary San

fitness, and Mr.. Clark, his conf
ential Secretary, had to leave on

ALL the farm troubles are not
West of the Mississippi. A hill far
mer from Vermont complains that
they are suffering from defation, and
cites as an example that a farm
which he sold years ago for S7,5OO.OO
and which during the war period
was sold for s15,5OO.OO cannot now
be disposed Of for even $5,0OO.OO.
The Vermont farmers he says are
trying to meet their problems by a
program of better production, STAN
dardization of products, special pre-
paration of commodities for markets,
cooperative buying as well as SELL
ing, and similar endeavors.

| SENATOR PHILIPS or COLORADO
Chairman of the Republican Senator
ial Campaign Committee, arrived in
Seattle on August first, and plans
already had been made which pro-
vided for the formal opening of the
campaign headquarters in Chicago.
Some impatient souls had grown a
little restive over the fact that the
Committee already organized was
not visibly up and doing.
1t can be said that the past weeks
have been utilized to the advantage
of the party in the preparation Of
literature and in getting the organi-
cation activities in shape and locat-
ing quarters.
Democratic claims of victory have
been so persistent that some Repub-
licans have been carried a little bit
over the line. Democratic leaders
have sadly confessed that an unfor-
tunate feature of their campaign is
that their prospects are always
bright in July and August and then
collapses in November. They are
running true to form in this in
stance. But it can be said that by
reason Of the fact that the Senatorial
Committee had been simply prepar-
ing its machinery, there has been
good practical gain. There is nd
gainsaying that with the Senatorial
Committee and its officers ready and
available, and all sorts Of pressure
would inevitably have been used in
the attempts to interest the Commit
tee in the various Senatorial prI-
mary contests. And not matter how
carefully Senator Phipps and his as
sociates steered their course, there
would inevitably have been certain
misrepresentation. By absence,
however, that danger has been avoid
ed and the opening Of the Committee
headquarters in Chicago took place
at a time when the primary squab- !
bles were out of the way and the
task Of carrying on the Republican
candidates regularly nominated can
be carried forward.

THERE is more smoke than fire |
in this foreign debt discussion which |
is now filling European and Ameri-
can newspapers. The plain truth of .
it is, that even if we cancelled all Of
the debts which they owed us, the
gentlemen who are building cabinets
and trying to run things on the other
side would have found some excuse
for attack on us. The fact is we are
a prosperous people, and back of
this outcry is perhaps little feel
ing Of jealousy. There are very few
of us after all, if our toes were worn
out Of our shoes and patches figure
in the back Of our trousers, can walk
the street and applaud the well
dressed person travelling happily
along on the other side. It may af-
ter all, occur to our people abroad
who are being annoyed in Paris and
other cities, that America, where
they earned the money, is a good
place to spend it.

THE STATE HIGHWAY Commits
sion of Delaware has started to rem
edy. an unforeseen condition which
has developed in the past two years,
by traffic on the main bouleVards.
From north to south the great du
Pont Boulevard is not of sufficient
width to accommodate the traffic,
and that highway is now being wild
ened at the points where the great
est congestions exist. This means a
great expenditure of money; but, it
will pay large returns to the people
Of Delaware, as well as the penin-
sula.
Standards Of living cannot be rails
ed nor industrial progress made in
the mud. But we are rapidly ap-
preaching the time when the linear
measurement of our roads will not
be as important as width and load
carrying capacity. If every state in
the Union was honeycombed with
paved highways, it would be num-
ber of years before we would acute
ly feel the need for increased road
width. But all states are not, nor
is there any immediate prospect Of
their reaching that point. This re-
suits in forcing the constantly in
creasing motor traffic on to the ex-
listing stretches of pavement, with
congestion, delay, accidents and rap
i'd highway depreciation as result.
The movement to make our roads
wider and heavier, is a wise policy.
SeS
THE BROAD CHARGE is made
that State Universities and colleges
are not enabling men to get prac-
tical equipment on which to earn
living; in short that there is too
much theory.
Too many young men with four
years college training, find they
have taken a blind jump and landed
on their faces.
There is little doubt about the
greater need of curriculum better
suited to enable students to face the
after-college period of their lives.

Whether one was willing or not to follow his leader ship in the advocacy of the hu- manitarian legislation that he fav- ored, there could be no question of his sincerity of purpose or his zeal in the cause. He loved politics and its strife and whether in victory or defeat he never lost the smile that his friends loved so well. In poll tics he was real leader. beloved by all who knew him, and he had the rare talent of being able to enthuse his followers in the causes he believed in. Lost causes were 10 him only the moro reason to gird his armor on the tighter and pre-. pare for the next struggle. No de- feat could dampen his ardor or shake his faith. His death comes to me as a personal loss because our friendship was one of the great possessions that make life worth while"

That was the last Indian to reach

Aside from the alright pitching
of Murphy, Weaver was easily the
other bright start of the game. Three
singles and a double out Of four
times at bat was his contribution on
the offensive. Time after time, he
dashed across the infield and fobbed
the visitors of base hits by sparkling
stops and perfect throws to first.
1t was a. big afternoon for Buck
and he covered himself with glory.
Juarez sstepped3o out in the lead in
the second inning when they scored
on Bjorquez' two base hit to right,
Arzate's infield out, and Seaton's
single to right. They held the lead
until the fifth when Pereyra. after
one was down, hit safely. Seaton at
this juncture developed streak of
generosity and walked Murphy and
Storey. Weaver's double, scoring
Pereyra and Murphy, gave Douglas a
lead, which with Murphy's splendid
pitching, they were never in danger
of losing.
