Remarkable interest is mani
tested around Washington in
the Fourth Annual National Or
atorical Contest.
Registrations from high
schools are being rapidly made.
Ten times as many candidates
have enrolled in the Washing
ton district as there were at the
same time last year. All Of
which is a good sign and indi-
Gates 4 marked revival Of inter
est in oratory.
This is shown not only BY
these contests, but by the inter
collegiate debating clashes
which draw considerable attend
ance. Some years ago literary
societies fourished in all institu-
tions with oratory, debates, and
the like. Then interest Jagged
and many such societies passed
away.
Some years ago there were
two alert literary societies at
what was then Delaware College
now the University.
The revival of oratory is es-
pecially timely. Young persons
Smyrna times., 1927-03-02

should be trained to speak, even
if in a humble way. Almost
every person sometime or other
is called upon for few words
in various organizations. This
is true Of business and financial
as well as professional men. And
yet in the days of fiourishing lit
erary societies it was assumed
more OF less that only certain
professions required oratorical
efforts.
Yet glance around Whining
ton today. Officers Of our great
manufacturing corporations,
merchants, heads Of financial ia
stitutions and the like, in fact,
all vocations, are often asked for
remarks, and how ably they re
spond.
Oratorical training such as in
dicated by these contests is
practical and helpful. The need
of it is become greater all the
time. Morning News.

''The crying need of the Del
Mar-Va peninsula today is man
power, and then more man pow
err and sufficient capital to de-
velop the untold resources yet
untouched, so that this strip of
land, pointing like an accusing
finger, will, indeed, wear proud
ly the title The Peninsula of
Plenty
This expresses the plea which
the report of the committee on
land settlement would have
made before the Del-Mar-Va
Takes Inventory Congress re
Gently had it become an articul-
ate being and mounted the plat
form as a person.
The future of the Del-Mar-Va
peninsula rests with the injec-
ton of new blood and new in
terests, members of the commit
tee on problems Of land settle
ment on the Del-Mar-Va penin-
sula" declared in making their
report to more than 700 dele
gates at the Del-Mar-Va Takes
Inventory Congress, at Sails
bury, recently.
With the exception Of the city
Of Wilmington the Peninsula,
taken as a whole, has shown alb
solutely no increase in popula-
tion in the last half century,
whereas the United States, tax
en- as a whole, has gained ap-
proximately 130 per cent.
, During the past half century
the counties of Cecil, Queen
Anne, and Kent in Maryland,
and Kent, in Delaware, have de-
creased in population, and dur
ing the same period of time the
counties OF Caroline, Somerset,
Talbot, Accomac and Sussex
have neither materially increas-
ed nor decreased, while the
counties Of New Castle, Worces-
ter, Wicomico and Northampton
have increased in population.
The Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
has never in its history had suf-
ficient man power or money
power to adequately man OF fin
ance the development Of its own
lands OF to reap the harvest
which lies before it, the commit
tee reported. While tradition,
romance and ancient family ties
and customs are desirable, they
do not alone bring about pro-
gress. They must be supple
mented with new blood, new
customs and new ideas.
Hooper S. Miles, Of Salisbury,
who gave the report of the COM
mittee to the congress, voiced
qualification that an increase of
25 per cent in the sale of lands
occurred during the past II
months, as compared with the
preceding II months. In some
sections of the Peninsula in
creases in land sales ranged
from so to 10 per cent over the
same comparative periods. The
committee attributed this large
ly to the advertising campaign
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association.

Irnpertinent question: How would you describe
or classify the publisher who, without nvestigat-

face broadcast it through the columns Of his paper
and thereby played the role of an accessory in
crime in defrauding those of his subscribers who
were gullible enough to answer the advertise
ment ?-National Editorial Bulletin.
Publishers, like all other business men, are
bound to get "stung" now and then by these busy
bilking bees but it really behooves publisher to-
be more careful than all the rest because in ac-
cepting fake advertisements they are apt to let
their patrons in for very much larger loss than
the mere loss Of pay for an advertisement.

OLIVE BRANCHES AND
INVESTIGATIONS
(Tucson Star)

The legislature should follow UP
with energy the resolution providing
for the investigation of the State
Highway Department. The admis-
sion of deficit amounting to over a
half million dollars shows that the
highway department has not been run
on a business basis.
When department Of the sta
government piles up a deficit of such
a vast amount, the people of the
state are entitled to an accounting.
No department of the government
has the right, nor should it be per
mitted to spend half million dollars
more than has been authorized by
law. Let this investigation be pur-
sued with utmost vigor and let a
complete report be made to the
people. Let the guilty and lnettl-
cient be exposed. The olive branch
extended by the governor should not
be accepted at the price of dropping
the highway investigation.
