CAPITOL QUESTIONS
RUMORED DU POINT
SEAT RESIGNATION
rContinred from Ifrst baael

so happens that the senator, able
business man and executive, is not
given to experimenting. He has
never addressed the Senate. He is
one of those rare silent forces,
which manifest their power with a
minimum of words. His commit
tee assignments are not impressive,
owing to his newness in a body
which makes a fetish of seniority.
Most good committeeman listen, any
how, and make their power felt in
wise voting after the inevitable
talking by those who present them
selves before committee.
Men who doubt the resignation
rumors say that so far as need for
every Republican vote in the 10th
Congress is concerned, no difficulty
would be found in making his vote
count. The parliamentary device of
pairing enables absentee senators to
exercise the voting privilege. In all
general matters, and important
measures, Senator du Pont main
tanned at the last session, during
his illness and absence, a general
pair with Senator Fletcher, Demo-
crat, of Florida. Either that same
pair, or another with some other
Democrat, may easily be made in
the next Congress. Where the gen.
eral pair does not cover a particular
proposition, as in a measure requir-
ing a two-thirds vote, it is necessary
to find a pair for that specific Occa-
sion. That Always has been found,
and easily can be found again.
Senator du Pont, all during his
long illness, with the possible eXcep-
ton of a period of week or two at
the time of the throat operation, has
kept informed of the business of his
office. Letters to him summarize
the correspondence that it is essen
tiaI that he see personally. FIRE.
ouent kilograms advise him of Of
fee matters. 1t is said that in adj
vising his office what shall be done
in various matters, he displays an
amazing knowledge of the public
business, and makes his decisions
on the basis of accurate informa-
ton and the application Of shrewd
business judgment"

APPLE CROP is
SATISFACTORY
rContinned from first bagel

ICOntiHHed from fTSt Pa9eI
the grade of the apples it contains
There was some little confusion
about this at first because OF the IN
ability of the grower to marx tne
proper grade. The problem was SOL
we'd, however, by having the grower
Mace his name on the contalner
without marking the grade until al
ter a state or federal apple inspect
or had examined the carrier.
According to Director Derickson'
the grading law insures every Duy-
er a fair and square deal. IL pre-
vents the INSCRIPTIONS grower from
,topping off the carrier with DIG ap-
pies. COMM
Under the terms of the law, SSOOO
was appropriated for the inspection
services. but not all of this money
was used. There were a dozen OF
more Federal inspectors here III
Delaware throughout the apple sea-
son and as a result of this, those
who had their apples inspected by
the government did not need the
state inspection, because the Feder-
al inspection covered more than the
state law.
For the same reason that the
growers of late Delaware apples
nut a large part of the crop in stor-
age. the growers of sweet potatoes
are doing the same. At this time the
country is pretty we'll glutted with
,1yoe+ notatoes and the prices are
down. Although the yield per acre
of sweet potatoes is not as heavy
this fall. there was an increased
acreage that may make up the de-
ficiency. According to the govern
ment statistics, the crop in Della
ware this year is but 100000 bushels
as opposed to 100000.

corn. 1t is to be hoped that all have
availed themselves of the wonderful
opportunity afforded them to get all
their winter work done, before we
start to have the biting weather. 1t
is certain that no one will sympa-
thize with the farmer that has to
husk corn when the cold weather
comes.

WILL DECEMBER SOLVE IT.

Talk is already running as TO the
possibility of the situation clearing
or being cleared at the meeting of
the Republican National Committee.
December 9th. Once again, those
anxious to be up and doing are
cherishing the thought that the
very presence in the city of this
large body of men and women FROM
all over the country will break the
stalemate, and give the party de-
finite decision. Long distance
prophecy is always dangerous, but
we have a very serious doubt if the
real light will come even then.
The indications are that this pre-
sent situation may continue into
the early part of 1928, for the rea-
son that almost daily it is being
made clearer that until this Cool
idge possibility (for all of the for
lorn hope conditions under which
it has been crated) vanishes out of
the mind of the average voter, no
other candidacy can hope to gain a
practical foothOld.
