sons thought it was merely get

ing how useful it could be. It
would be a pity if the association

Grafton. Then DR.. Grier contin-
ues that there are mop rincipal
difficulties in the way of the as
sociation as there are a hard
working corps of officers and the
committees and the support ac-
corded them has been good.
About the only cause of COM
plant therefore that we can
gather is that the association
should have more than three or
four hundred persons supporting

as peculiar. There has been
much appreciation and there
surely has been progress. Why

MILLSBORO GARAGE BURNED
Methodist Church Also Endangered in
a $4,000 Blaze Last Wednesday

The garage of Esham in the rear Of
the store of Charles Short, was des-
troyed by fire early Wednesday morn
ing. Three cars owned by Edgar
Timmons, Joshua Esham and Charles
Short, which were in the garage, were
burned. Fire companies from George
town and Selbyville were called and
with the local company kept the fire
from spreading. The Short store was
on fire at one time but was put out
before much damage was done. The
blaze also threatened the M. E.Church
adjoining the garage. The fire was
in the business section. The damage
was probably $4,000 to $5,OOO The
cause of the fire has not been determ-

more or less free to draw its own
conclusions regarding many of
the things that were happening
around it. Today, however, ow-
ing to the inescapable newspaper
placards, the thought is being
impressed upon consciousness
that, as she put it, "the only
good news is bad news"
This extraordinary state of
affairs is unfortunately SO glar-
ing that none can deny it. In
deed, in commenting upon Lady
Astor's statement the Teachers
World said: eve wish we could
regard Lady Astor's pungent re-
mark as belonging to that class
Of which depends for its effects
upon exaggeration. We cannot"
1t added: Scarcely a day passes
but children are led by their eyes
to believe that the most import
ant news Of the day is the sad
dest, the seamiest, or the most
gruesome happening recorded.
Possibly it may be said of the
reading public as of the theatre
going public, that it gets the
fare it deserves, that the papers,
like the plays, merely supply a
known demand. There is much
truth in the statement, and we
believe that both theatre manag-
ers and editors would be glad to
appeal to a higher plane Of intel
ligence and feeling. The parents
Of the children are more to
blame than the rulers Of the
press or the theatre"
Of course, the moral is not far
to be sought. It involves chiefly
a determination on the part Of
educational authorities to cor
rect this false point Of view, and
a willingness on the part of
newspaper owners to raise the
standard of news values in their
publications. Good news must
be seen as that which is truly
constructive; bad news IS that
which does nothing other than
satisfy a certain morbid tend
ency in human experience. AS
a wider outlook is glimpsed, the
latter will be repelled and the
former will find itself obtaining
a larger and larger audience

evolutionary days are
brought back vividly and with
rare conception Of the truths of
history in the ceremonies going
on in this region in honor Of the
Sesqui-C Centennial Of the Battle
Of the Brandywine. AS the
Morning News pertinently says:
1T was a happy thought coming
from West Chester that the
neighborhood should join in ex-
ercises of the kind which have
been eminently successful. There
has been hearty cooperation be-
tween Delaware and parts of
Maryland and Pennsylvania ad-
joining this State. The battle
proper was fought on Pennsyl-
van;a soil, but troops Of the
three states were in it.
IF there was nothing else to
remember the celebration by the
notable presence of representa-
tives of France and Great Brit
ain would suffice. Everything
by the visitors, as well as by the
home people, was in fine good
taste. The British were victor
ious in the Battle Of the Brandy
wine, but the representative Of
the ambassador went far below
the surface and told how those
rugged Continentals taught US
all lesson which we have well
learned. They taught US to go
back to the true British spirit of
the liberty Of man. Not only
that but, he added, that the
foundations of the new British
empire with its ideals as it ex-
lists today were laid at the prin-
cipal battles of the Revolution
ary War.
Some might think this state
ment merely a message Of good
will suitable for the occasion, but
it is far more than that when
we think Of Canada and Ireland
and Australia and other lands
that owe allegiance to Great
Britain, but which are practical
ly independent and filled with
the spirit of true British liberty.
Lafayette, that inspired young
Frenchman, a favorite Of Wash
ington, took part in this battle
and was wounded. 1t was high
ly appropriate that the French
embassy be represented with
kindly words and cordial senti-
ment.
1T was indeed notable affair
with the three great nations
bound together on the battle
field Of the Brandywine, three
nations that but a short time
ago were allies in great war to
preserve liberty. The re-enact-
ment of the battle was a gorge
Gus historical spectacle, well
worth the effort. No wonder
thousands upon thousands of
spectators saw this wonderful
performance. Let this celebra-
tion impress US all, young and
older, with the devotion mani
tested by those brave American
troops who had the true spirit of

L. s. Commissioner Finn Says Amer
leans Live Under Protection OF
More Than the 18th Amendment.

Waterbury, Sept. 17.-tP}-Feder-
al prohibition agents and other law
enforcement agents must remember
that every one lives under the pro-
lection of the United States Consu-
tuition and that the constitution Is
composed OF more amendments than
the 18th, United States Commission
CT Edward J. Finn said Friday after
noon at the hearing of Charles Sage,
charged with liquor violation as
result of a raid made August 80 in
an alleged brewery on Eagle street.
Sage was bound over to the United
States district court after Agent
Michael f. Sassi had testified con-
corning the alcoholic content Of the
beer as determined by United States
chemists.
The agents had no warrant when
they 'crashcd' the window of the
alleged brewery. At that time a con-
tinuance was granted to allow the
federal men to present evidence as
to the strength Of the beer. Com
missioner Finn today cautioned the
federal men lest they become OBJ
sesscd with the notion that there is
only one amendment to the consti-
tuition. He continued by stating that
officials connected with justice must
see that the basic principles of the
constitution are not violated. The
enforcement of law, he added, must
not be considered above the law it.
self.
Edward 3. Reilly, counsel for
Sage, asked for a dismissal Of the
complaint against his client, on the
ground that there was insufficient
evidence and also because the raid
was illegal, as no warrant existed.
/ Commissioner Finn said that the
/ holding Of Sage for the federal court
does not mean that he is guilty but
that there is a possibility Of viola
! ton Of the liquor law for the court
to pass on.
