i've rather than offensive warfare
must have been dispelled by the
fighting speech of Senator Moses.
For he did not mince words in
presenting the issues on which the
Republicans will seek the renewed
Endorsement of the American peo-
pie. The vigor with which he
flung the challenge to the Demo-
cratic Party was most heartening
and refreshing after the defeatest
talk in which a few Republicans
who should have known better had
INDUCED. Each sentence of the
Senator rang out like a pistol shot
and hit its mark.
In seeking for an agency to
safeguard the rights of Ameri-
can property on foreign soil, we
know our people will not turn
to the party which advocates a
policy of scuttle.
In seeking for an economic
~policy for the United States, we
know our people will not turn
to the party which clings to the
fetch of free trade.
In seeking for a policy to
make the tariff effective for ev-
cry interest in the United
States, we know our people will
not turn to the party whose
strength and weakness alike lie
in its sectional character.
In seeking for a policy to as
sure honest elections every
where in the United States, we
know our people will not turn
to the party whose sole title to
success has rested upon intimi-
dation and the tissue ballot and
now rests upon the obliterated
vote Of 100000 American free
men.
And, in seeking for an agency
to carry forward the social pro-
gram Of the social order of the
United States, we know our
people do not intend to throw
our country within the tender
embrace Of Tammany Hall.
This is good fighting talk, for
which no apology is needed. For it
IS going to be fighting campaign.

the party at large, the enthusiasm
of the delegates found full express
sion when the nomination Of Her

they realized, was no compromise
candidate, selected for his negative
qualities, but a champion chosen to
bear the banner because of his out
standing ability and character.
The rousing speech Of Senator
Moses on Wednesday, which struck
exactly the right note, had conyinc-
ed the delegates that the coming
campaign is to be one of the most
militant and aggressive in many
years. 1t emphasized the need for
fighting candidate, one who would
carry the war into the enemy's
country and one who would have
the Republican Party solidly be-
hind him. No representative of a
bloc or clique or special interest, no
purely sectional spokesman, no col
orless candidate without a record Of
distinguished public service, could
hope to command such unified and
substantial support.

Moses says, must be waged with all

COMMUNITY PROGRESS IN

Each season has it's own work to
do for community development.
Winter is the time for organiza-

of improved standards, of constant

to the senses as our homes grow

MILFORD, FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1925
GAINING THE PUBLIC INTEREST

Any kind of enterprise is III
against the psychological problem
of getting the people interested in
it. You may give very fine enter
tainment in your town or village
but if nothing has been done to
arouse peoples interest in that af-
fair, the chances are that you will
have a poor house. Public apathy
is the worst kind of an obstacle that
any enterprise has to meet.
1t is always possible to arouse
peoples interest by going about it
in the right way. On the question
of an entertainment as referred to
above, if the people are shown that
the performers are going to do
something clever and out of the
usual, or if they are noted persons,
then at once people get interested.
They do not want to miss such an
affair, and they turn out in crowds.
1t is just the same in running
a business. The merchandise may
be very attractive, but if nothing
has been done to interest the peo-
pie in it, there will not probably
be many customers. And under
such circumstances it is difficult to
offer such merchandise at an at
tractive price, because the number
of customers will probably be so
limited that the expense of hand
ling the line is too heavy.
It is not the public's fault if in
terest is lacking, provided that the
goods and prices are right. The
people are always keen to hunt a
bargain, and they greatly enjoy
looking over attractive goods and
buying if they feel able to.
Hence a we'll advertised store
keeps people keenly interested in
it's lines all the time. There is no
public apathy toward such store,
and people come in large numbers
to see and buy the advertised
goods.

CLASS DAY exercises in the
schools and colleges have been very
interesting this year. They repre-
sent the student point of view, re
fecting student fun, student ambl-
tions, the student conception of
life.
Under the light and CHEEKY sur
face Of the class-day talk, these
young people show a strong and
confided spirit, a feeling of ade-
quacy for life, a determination to
make good. It is impossible to beat
a generation of young people who
have this hopeful outlook. They
are sure to carry the level of pros

ABOUI NOW great NUMBER Ol
newly married couples are wander.
ing around the country, including
some from Milford and other parts
of Delaware. Young folks with
clothes covered with confetti and
rice, and with sheepish looks on
their faces, also automobiles decor
ated by enthusiastic. wedding haz-
ers with white ribbons, are a COM
mon sight. The baggage has a
mysterious way of getting marked
"Just Married"
Such an announcement is not
usually necessary. People can COM
monty spot these adventurers upon
the sea of matrimony. There is an
intensity of interest between the
two, constant exchange of looks,
that is not common with married
couples of longer standing, who can
get along very comfortably if they
do not look at their welded mates
every 80 seconds.
While these beginners in the
school of family life are thus taking
their first lessons, they do not al
ways find the honeymoon all that
it is cracked up to be. It does not
quite supply the unadulterated
sweetness they expected. If they
married hastily, with little thought
of appropriateness and likeness of
interest, they may get quite tired of
the limited society of wedding
trip, and long to get home and get
at their usual sources of fun. Per-
haps also they have a number of
jars that do not auger we'll for a
permanent relationship.
They need to realize that the two
Bears have to be attached to every
welded state, Bear and Forbear,
and they have to be quite active.
Faults must be expected in every
welded mate, and no one can ex-
pect to get along in matrimony if !
he or she expects to have his or
her own way right along.
With such adjustments made, the
honeymoon trip should be all that
it is cracked up to be. It is the
beginning of the permanent COM
that people need, and it
creates those deep family interests
that are the best source of per-
menent joy.

1T CAN BE DONE

You can take two towns of the
same size, wealth, and advantages,
and find wide differences between
them. In one of these places you
will find when any public improve
ment is mentioned, that people
generally say, "It can't be DONE"
AS the result of that attitude,
things are not done.
And then you can go on a few
miles away, and find rival town
having the same situation, where
people are always saying relative
to such improvements as the first
place turned down, "It can be
DONE" It is just a difference of
temperament, but it spells the diff
ference between progress and stag
nation. When people think they
can do things, they usually can. It
is so here in Milford.
@e@
NEWSPAPERS that do not tell
the truth do not appeal to the peo-
pie. When people buy newspapers,
they are not looking for entertain
ing fiction, but they want to know
what has really happened in their
home towns and the world. Those
papers that make a serious effort
to give them the exact facts, are
the ones that build sure prosper
ity.
DeS
PEOPLE often move to big cities
Of a longing for excitement,
and they find all they want of it
trying to make ends meet in these
expensive locations.

Prescription He Wrote
In 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started tc
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People liv-
ed normal, quiet lives. ate plain,
VIII olesome food, and got plenty OF
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic physics
and purges for the relief of consti-
patton which DR.. Caldwell did not
believe were good for human beings
to put into their system. So he
wrote prescription for a laxative
to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice.
and which he put In drug stores In
1892 under the name OF DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a liquid vege-
table remedy. intended for womvn
children and elderly people. and they
need just such a mild. safe, gentle
bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling IL
auid laxative in the world. The fact
that millions Of bottles are used a
year proves that 1t has won the con-
fldence Of people who needed 1t to
get relief from headaches. bilious
ness. datulence. indigestion. loss Of
appetite and sleep. bad breath. dys-
pepsia. colds and fevers.
Millions o. families are now never
without DR.. Cafdwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and II you will once start using
il YOU will also always have bottle
handy for emergencies.

COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE
STUDYING FOR WEALTH
Therefore Should Pay Whole Cost of
Their Education, Educator
Declares.

| Chicago, July 1S.-4P,-Lnder-
graduate college students. because
they are studying for future
pecuniary gains, should be required
to pay the full cost Of their col
lege education, Trevor Arnett, pres
ident Of the general education
board, and a speaker today at the
annual institute for administrative
officers Of institutions OF higher
learning, believes.
Our earliest colleges We're found :
cd to educate those intending to be-
come ministers and teachers or to
enter the professions where they
would render great service to the
public at small pecuniary reward to
themselves, Mr.. Arnett said. THE
public received most of the benefit.
But, a recent inquiry has disclosed,
6s per cent Of the undergraduates
go into business and commercial
pursuits"
For students without ready funds
to finance college education, Mr..
Arne't suggested loan funds to be
fcsfa bl1shrd as endoUments
The graduate student, because of
his contribution to society. should
not have TO pay his full tuition cost,
Mr.. Arnett said.
Colleges and universities are I'M
dergolng a period Of evolution which
Will vastly increase their effective

to questions OF practical economics.

faces those OF today.

planned, a skyscraper must be 50

Besides economic considerations
then explained Bosom, there are
technical questions to be taken into
account In any building Of more
than 1900 feet in height, he said,
there would be too much sway. In
the case of building of 500 stories
or more. which he pointed out,
