"NO Use to Cry Over Spilled Milk"

past year, but to bring it home to
the dairy owners that there is an
economic depression on, they an
nOunce a further cut of fourteen

Why We Have Elections
Congress has at last gone home
for a rest period and left the bonus
army, for a while at least. What
Congress accomplished and omitted
we will learn more about later. One
thing happened any way. The Pres
ident decided he was getting too
much money and reduced his own
salary down to $4,000 per month. The
Federal salary list has grown to
such dimensions that it would take
all the corn, cotton and wheat crops
at present price to pay Federal sal
aries, which amount to one billion
and three hundred and fifty million
dollars. These figures are by Sen
ator Mcclellan, of Tennessee, and
have not been cOntradicted. Any one
can readily see that such sum con-
stitutes a serious drain upon the re-
sources of sadly depressed coun-
try. If we are to continue as the
greatest country in the world there
must be some painful pruning and
abolishing of many of the Federal
bureaus and departments, especial
ly those that overlap one another.

Voters Are Anxious TO Vote
Last Saturdays registration was
the largest for the first day in the
history of this Representative Dis
trict (the eighth of SUSSEX, a total
of 1913. Just what it means no one
is absolute certain. The Democrats
say the voters want to register their
of the administration; |
the Republicans say it is the contest |
for the nomination of Governor, |
whether it shall come from New
Castle or Sussex. 1t is not neces- |
sary to register for the State pri-
maries. The Republicans of Sussex (
said at their convention that the .
Chief Engineer Hoover should be |
given another term as it would be .
foolhardy to dismiss a veteran gen.
eral at the head OF an attacking
army and substitute a raw recruit
in his place. That does not sound so
BAD if he is doing it well. But these
same Sussex people AZ anxious to
remove the Engineer Buck and sub
,titute some one else, and yet they
say he has made a good job of it
md has been governor for the whole
people. The ordinary person finds
{ hard to understand There is
,reater possibility of the Next Gov
rnor" coming from New Castle
ounty than many are aware of. J.
