THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY has

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY has
named it's State ticket and adopted
it's platform amid the usual conten-
ton and strenuously fought out
struggle for control between the fac
tions, in convention sessions. The
decisive defeat of those who wanted
to place the Democratic Party
suuarely as favorable to repeal OF
the prohibition laws of Delaware to
a very considerable extent, and the
modification of the National Prohi-
bition laws regulating the sale OF
liouor. disclosed that the Democratic
Party in this State, will not support
that proposition, even so far as TO
hermit a plank in it's declaration of
purposes. Yet it permitted the adop-
ton of a clause under the heading Oh
Estates Rights" which would indl-
rectly permit this issue to creep IN
The usual declaration for regulation
of service corporations, elections
lower taxes and other stock profess
sions and purposes were incorpora-
ted in the platform; but there was
nothing new, or even thonght ex-
pressed which would attract conf
dence. After performing the usual
routine business, the convention then
proceeded to nominate as the candl-
date for Congress, man who faVors
modification of the liquor laws ana
who is quoted as authorizing that as
his views. The balance of the ticket
for state Offices is made up OF the
men selected by their county eau
cuses to fill the several offices ap-
portioned to each county, who are OF
the usual standard as to ability, ana
who take their democracy according
to the faction controlling the county
The campaign has opened, and the
county tickets will be the final as
to nominations.

EoS

AS USUAL there are men and Wo-
men in Delaware who dodge payment
of taxes on dogs to the State, and
the State officials who are charged
with enforcement of the dog tax
laws have been making earnest effort
to round up the delinquents. These
people who are guilty of this tax
dodging, are mostly of the same
class as those who have tried TO
evade the payment of the three dol
lar filing fee, which goes to the sup
port of the public schools. One tea-
ture about the dog tax is, that the
revenue derived from it, is largely
used to pay for damage done to poul-
try. or animals killed by dogs in the
rural sections of Delaware, which is
almost exclusively confined to farm
ers' property.
The Evening Journal of Whining
ton has editorially drawn patheth-
ic word picture Of the hardships re-
sulting to the poor man or woman
who harbor stray dogs, and suggests
that the law be either abolished or
amended. It was very nice little
bit of sentimentality on the part OF
the editorial writer; but, his state
ment of the situation is not true;
Notwithstanding that he has accept
ed the news items which the corre-
spondents to the city newspapers
have sent in, as to arrests made by
State officials, of those who have at
tempted to evade, or dodge payment
of the annual tax on dogs in Della
ware.
AS a matter of fact, it is not the
poor men or women who are made to
feel the halter of the law in most OF
the cases which have been before the
courts. On the contrary, in Sussex
and Kent counties especially, those
guilty of attempt to evade payment
of the tax, have been owners OF
property and persons who are amply
able to pay the tax. The poor men
and women comply more generally
than do the tax dodgers, who get in
to trouble and have to pay the costs
in addition to the tax.
The weather has been hot and the
humidity high this summer, and that
may account for the tender sympa-
thy which drew forth the editorial of
last Tuesday in the Evening Journal;
but with the political campaign get
ting underway, there is hope that the
writer may recover his poise of men
tality.

President Plans
To Flirt with Finny
Tribe on Vacation

Washington, June 29.-(P)-Presi-
dent Coolidge intends to turn fisher
man this summer during his vacation
in the Adirondacks.
Not since he was a boy in Vermont
has he INDUCED in the sport, but he
plans to try his luck with rod and
line, relying on secret service men,
newspaper correspondents and others
who accompany him for pointers.
The presidents fishing plans were
disclosed today at the White House,
and at the same time 1t was said that
he felt his views on the sport had been
misinterpreted about year ago to
make 1t appear that he considered fish,
ing sport for boys and unworthy of
grown men.
1t was recalled that at that time
his opinion was sought as to the wis
dom of stocking the tidal basin near
the White House with fish. He said
he could see no advantage to 1t except
to the boys of Washington, as he as
sumed grownups preferred to 60 far
Their from home for their fishing.
A number of the presidents cabinet
are fishermen, some having tried their
luck in Florida waters, while others,
like Attorney General Sargent, who is
particularly fond of trout fishing, have
whipped the streams Of New England,
where the president himself as boy
cast a line.
