ARMISTICE DAY

Many emotions stir the heart as
the swiftly passing year brings us
to Armistice Day once more. We
think first of those dear boys asleep
in the soil of France, but whose
names are forever enrolled on the
lists of fame. We think of those
quiet cemeteries, made beautiful
with flowers and vines by grateful
hands, which will forever testify to
those deeds of valOr and generosity.
We think of the sorrOwful homes
in our country, in which a shadow
is forever cast by the departure of
these loved ones. The rest of us
made temporary money sacrifices
which have more or less passed. We
still pay some taxes caused by the
war, but these are an infinitely
small item, compared with the loss
which has darkened many homes.
We think of those dear boys in
our hospitals, or limping about our
streets, who bear forever the Grip
pling marks of that struggle. Have
we forgotten them amid the busy
scenes of daily life? If so, let us
keep them ever in mind, and cheer
fully make whatever contributions
are necessary for their comfort, also
for the training of those who could
be made self supporting.
These are sad thoughts. But
there are others full of encourage
ment. We can think that on that
day II years ago, it had been thor
oughly demonstrated that our coun-
try had not lost it's soul as the re-
suit of it's prosperity. 1t was shown
that our people could rise to a great

great movement for the protection of
liberty and justice.

INEBRIATED HUNTERS
NOW HIT JAIL

Two hunters have been convicted
in Michigan under what is popular
ly known as the drunken hunter
law" according to reports received
by officials of the American Game
Protective Association. This law,
enacted by the 1929 Legislature, was
said to be part of a general move
ment among game commissioners
and sportsmen's organizations to i'm
press the necessity of more careful
hunting under modern conditions.
Two hunters of Saginaw pleaded
guilty to carrying firearms while
under the influence of liquor" They
were each fined $40 and court costs,
and their shotguns confiscated.
irresponsible, reckless and
thoughtless hunters are the worst
single danger in the field" officials
said, mot only to themselves and
others in shooting, but as spoilers of
the sport of hunting. This type of
hunter, often a greenhorn, is the
great reason why more and more
landowners are posting their prop
erty against hunters. Sportsmen
who have watched huntable areas
and the, reckless over
shooting of game without thought of
the future, are doing all in their
power to discourage this evil"

Milford, Friday, November :, 1880

DELAWARE has had a remarkable
political campaign in several ways.
There was never so little political
effort to reach the masses, and much
less than an average effort to line
up the voters by either party. With
such conditions it is surprising that
the vote last Tuesday totalled so
large for each party. In winning
the entire state ticket by majOrities
ranging from eight to fourteen thou
sand, the Republicans certainly sup
ported their nominees in all parts of
the state. The only victory for the
Democratic party to give thanks for,
came through Kent County, where
they elected their entire ticket with
majOrities ranging up to eight hun
dred for several county officers.
There is nothing remarkable to note
except the defeat of the Republicans
in the Tenth District of Kent COun-
ty. For years this district has been
regarded as a stronghold for the Re-
publicans. They lost both the sena-
tor and representative for the sec
ond election in succession. There is
& cause for this, of course, but now
is neither the time or place to dis
cuss that problem.

THE HOME TOWN PURCHASE

1t is human nature for people to
take more pains for people whom
they know, than for those whom
they don't know. If you go into
some store in some distant city
where no one knows you, and ask
the unknown clerk for something,
his attitude has very little personal
touch. He is not likely to take un-
usual pains to please you.
If you go into some store in Mil
ford where you are known, people
are more keen to please you. They
dislike extremely to fail to satisfy a
regular customer or anyone whom
they recognize. Our merchants train
their salespeople to take the utmost
pains to please customers, whether
new or old, but a person obtains in
his home town a quality of service
that is difficult to find elsewhere.

THE SAFETY MOVEMENT

If it were not for the many auto
mobile fatalities, the death rate from
accidents would be 80 per cent low
er than it was in 1913. Safety work
in mills, on railroads, etc, is accom-
rlishing remarkable results. The
steam railroads have cut down acci-
dents to their employees so per cent
in the past IS years. A group of the
largest steel industries have cut
their accidents 80 per cent in Is
years.
Accidents are one of the leading
causes of poverty. The crippled
worker can not take care of his fam
lily. The nation permits its produc-
tive power to be lowered when it
neglects protective measures against
these tragic losses. But accidents
are not stopped merely by safety ap-
pliances. People have to be edu-
Gated to use care.

election officers of the United States
to handle somewhere around 90,-
100000 ballots, each one containing
the names of scores or sometimes

there are any Irregularities or mis-

to get them counted right, and pre-

Darant Declares Democracy
Needs SaIvaging From
Politicians.
,yKa s.ar correspondent Of The star.

1yxa SIAN Correspondent of The Star.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, August
/. = Government by experts, with def
nit educational requirements of all
puklic officials, is the increasing demand
of political scientists, as exemplified in
the discussions before the Institute Of
Public Affairs here.
The professors see the day near when
folk will choose mayors as they choose
do@tors-for their professional skill
alone. They see the extension OF the
city manager system to States and gov
errhnentS.
This was essentially the plan offered
last night by Dr. Will Durant, noted
philosopher, for the "Salvaging Of de-
moeracy." Under the present system,
he Said, the sovereignty of the people
has become merely the sovereignty OF
politicians.
Democracy has become unreal, he
said. because of the decay of the
economic bases on which it once rested
in FAmerica-free land, free competi-
tion, national isolation and the economic
independence of the individual home
stead" The disappearance of economic
equality. he said, has left vast masses
of people powerless and has laid them
open to easy manipulation by political
machines, with the educated man prac-
tically disqualified for office.
Urges "FOOlprOof" Democracy.
'aThe final breakdown of democracy"
he said, appears in the increasing in
security of life in our cities, where the
political machines are in league with
the world of crime, and the inability of
Congress to face the complex economic
problems confronting it every day.

State Every adult would vote, but
nobody could vote for an unqualified

Finance Director Supports Idea.
Much theb same idea was expressed
today by Harvey Walker, assistant d.
rector of finance of Ohio. Stressing the
need of Capitalization of administrative
power in State government reorganiza-
ton, he said the chief danger was of
this power falling into incompetent
hands.
THE record of voters in choosing
competent men as Governors has not
been conSpicuously consistent, he said.
1T seems doubtful that this situation
can be improved unless a new concept
is introduced into the theory of admin
istrative reorganization-the concept of
expert service. The Governor is usually
an amateur in the field of State adj
Observation-Disclosures, in any field of adj
ministration. Frequently he is civilian
without governmental experience. What
seems to be needed is an expert admin
istrative officer who will have supervi-
sion of the administrative affairs of the
State just as the city manager does in
our larger cities. Under such a plan
the Legislature and the Governor would
determine policies and the chief admin
istrator would. carry them into effect
through the various departments under
his supervision. The administrator
should be chosen jointly by the Gov
ernor and Legislature.
Urges Government in Business.
Government control of business must
increase. said Oswald Garrison Willard,
editor of the New York Nation Despite
cries of Socialism, he said, this tend
ency is apparent all over the world
especially in the field of natural re-
sources. and government is recognizing
its moral responsibility to curb the ap-
petites and curb the ambitions and the
profit motives of those who business
daring leads them into new fields.
