MILFORD, FRIDAY, OCT. u, 49,
AS THE WOMEN SEE 1T

According to a recent dispatch
from Washington, the Republican
chieftains are highly gratified over
the preponderance of Hoover senti-
ment among the women voters of the
nation. That sentiment should de-
velop in this direction was a fore
gone conclusion.
It was a foregone conclusion not
so much because Mr.. Hoover did or
said this or that specific thing, or
because the platform of his party
made this or that declaration. Rather
it was because women are possessed
of an instinct which is older than
politics or parties, the instinct that
enables them to strip every situa-
ton of the unessentials and to in
terpret the essence of it in terms of
those things that are foremost in
their hearts and minds.
They have interpreted and will
continue to interpret from now until
election day, the issue of this cam
paign in terms of the security of
their homes and the welfare of their
children. And Mr.. Hoover, being
the manner of man he is, his record
as the greatest humanitarian of
modern times being what it is, and
his ways of thought being what they
are, it was inevitable that the over
whelming majority of the woman
hood of the nation should rally be-
hind his standard. Above all things,
Mr.. Hoover represents security.
Here is the protective instinct at
work and driving toward its goal
with all the precision of Aristotle's |
syllogism.
In addition to this, millions of |
women voters will be influenced in
their choice by their own conclus-
ions from the records of the two
parties in the domain of progressive
legislation in behalf of womanhood,
childhood and the home.
By this test, Mr.. Hoover can point
to a party record seldom equalled by
any country at any time. It is rec
ord that ranges all the way from
the enactment of the Equal Suffrage
Amendment, which established po-
litical freedom of women, to the re-
cent legislative declaration of their
economic equality through the stat
ute guaranteeing equal pay for equal
work, irrespective of sex, in the gov
eminent service. 1t ranges all the
way from the large body of legisla-
ton safeguarding the wholesome
ness of food and meat used in the
home, to the statutes setting up gov
ernmental bureaus consecrated
wholly to the welfare of mother
hood and childhood.
Therefore, we say again: It was
foregOne conclusion that the women
voters should show a preponder-
ance of preference for Mr.. Hoover.
And we shall be very much sur
prised if, when the ballots are
the preponderance is not
Jar in excess of what the Republi-
IAN chieftains have hoped for, even
n their most optimistic moments.

WORKING PEOPLE AND THE
TARIFF

None of us who work day after
day spend much time trying to learn
about the tariff. The vast majority
are not brought up to it, as it
means digging into figures, which
most of us dislike. We realize vag-
uely that there is a difference be-
tween a high tariff and low tariff,
even though we do not know every
thing relating to the tax on products
shipped here from abroad and pro-
ducts shipped from here to other
parts of the world.
But this we know and are sure of:
We get ten times better wages than
many working people abroad and we
live infinitely better than they even
dream of living.
We know this, too, about the tar
iff: The pay roll for those of us who
work for a living in this country is
$600,000,00O a week-think of it, six
hundred million dollars. And we
know, also, that this would not be
possible without a Republican pro-
tective tariff. But for a protective
tariff we would be down to the lev
ell of foreign labor and living con-
ditions.
Here is something more we know:
Democrats, experimenting with the
tariff, cut $1OO,OOO,OOO a week from
the American pay roll, which means
the man getting Sc a day slipped
back to SO or 81 a day. The employ
er could do nothing about it, be-
cause he, too, suffered from Demo-
cratic tariff reduction. To working
people dollar and half is a big
loss and proves we need Herbert
Hoover and a protective tariff so we
can go on happily as we are and not

USELESS ~ STuDIES

One of the reasons often given by
young people, for lack of faithful
study on their lessons, is that these
students claim that certain particu-
lar lines of study which are pre-
scribed for them, will not be of any
use to them. They can't see why it
will help them in their occupations
to know the geography of China or
to expound a theorem in geometry.
There are many values in such
study, however, that they do not now
realize. One of them is that they
form the habit of doing thoroughly
whatever work is given them to do
without question. They will find
later that the managers of business
are very much irritated when they
give orders, and then find that their
subordinates refuse to carry them
out faithfully because they could not
see the value of the thing they were
doing. They want employees who
will do whatever they are told to do
without question and to the best of
their ability.
A business man prefers a student
who has made a good record in some
school or college, because that rec
ord proves that the student has per-
formed faithfully whatever tasks
were assigned to him, whether he
liked them or not. 1t proves that the
student will enter the business
world in the same spirit, and will
perform to the best of his ability
the tasks set before him.
The students will forget most of
what they have learned, and about
all that they carry away is the habit
Of doing things thoroughly. They
need of course to study carefully
certain fundamentals, which show
them how to use the tools of daily
life.
But when they get beyond their
and grammar and writing
book, the question of what they
study is not so important as how
hey study. If they get the habit of
loing every task faithfully and thor
'ughly, that habit will follow them
Ill their lives and assure their
Welfare.

FINE Development


Many people, in constructing busl-
ness buildings and homes, do not
realize how much they iniure their
interest by a development that looks
cheap and unfinished. Some form of
low cost construction may have a
certain number of dollars, but it
loses many dollars in the value of
that property and the rental it will
command.
People will often develop a prop
erty in a cheap and unattractive
way, when by the expenditure of
relatively small sum additional, they
could make their property very
pleasing, and invite the most sub
stantial kind of tenants. Cheapness
is often of very doubtful economy

VOTING FOR PRESIDENT

The American people fall down
terribly on questions of citizenship.
But presidential year has a tenden-
cy to wake them up a little as to
their civic duty. Thousands of vot-
ers in Delaware who ordinarily nay
no attention to the election of leg
islators, congressman, governors,
ETC., will yet see that their vital in
terests are affected by the way the
federal government is run, and they
are getting ready to say in Novem-
Der how they think it should be run.
This is hopeful and desirable. Yet
how much better it would be if peo-
pie could realize that every election
and every primary touches their
most intimate interests. Popular
will be full of blunders. |
unless the people put their minds
on running it.
