AN ECONOMIZER

Governor G. Douglass Buck,
of Delaware, is no new con
vert to the principle of econ
omy in government expendi-
ture. When he was translat-
ed from the post Of State
Highway Engineer to the Ex-
ecutive office of the State, he
continued to perform the dut-
les of his former office with
out compensation, and set
about to prune other govern
mental costs.
Now he announces that be
ginning July he will slash ten
per cent. from his annual sal
ary Of 81, 800, and his example
has been promptly followed by
the State Highway Commits
sion in making a similar sal
ary reduction affecting ap-
proximately a tousand en-
ployes, including 80 State po-
lice. To this saving of about
$4,000 a year tere will doubt
less be additions as other
branches of the State govern
ment fall into line, totaling a
considerable sum for so small
"a Commonwealth. The Blue
Hen State is to be congratu-
lated on having an Executive
who practices what he preach

THE LINDBERGH CASE

New Jersey State officials
have offered a reward of S25,-
900 for the capture of the
murderer of the Lindbergh
baby. Better late than never,
and so the reward comes
along. A Trenton newspaper
speaks of the humiliation of
the people of the state due to
the crime, and utter failure of
the authorities to take even
the remotest step toward real
ly solving it. 1t adds that $50

will remain a black page of

director is well satisfied with the

ers the players some of the most
talented young people he has had
the pleasure of directing in re-
hearsing in Delaware and he ex-
presses confidence that the cast
will produce a dramatic perform
ance. A feature of the perform
ance will be the singing and dane

be furnished by large orchestra.
Mr.. Waldmann will himself as

that will be passed down as a
blighted heritage to success
sive generations of Jersey
men" Commenting on this
the Morning News pertinently
says: '"This is putting it
frankly, but not too strongly.
Other states hesitate to criti-
else because perfection in pO-
lice methods, or any approach
to it, is so rare. However, it
passes the comprehension of
ordinary persons who have
followed the Lindbergh case
to understand why the police
have been so incompetent.
One would imagine that after
the officials had posed for
their pictures and looked so
potent and proud that they
would do something. And
yet it took a stranger, a col
ored man, by accident to find
the bones of the baby within a
short distance of the home.
Apparently the police had
never looked in that direction.
The Jersey officials failed to
locate the kidnapers, and they
have so far failed to find the
murderers after it had been
shown that the child was
murdered. What ails them?
Why cannot they at the least
learn something? Why is it
that crooks are so often much
smarter than the police? That
is not true in many of the adj
vanced foreign countries"

POULTRYMEN OF
STATE HOLD MEET
Over $50 Meet at Milford and
Discuss Promotion of In
dustries AS a Whole
HAVE BROILER SUPPER

Over two hundred and fifty poul-
trymen and their wives and guests
were in attendance at the annual
meeting and banquet of the Della
ware State Poultry Association
which was held in the Community
Building in Milford last Thursday
evening as a celebration of another
years activities of this organiza-
tion in the promotion of better
poultry for this state, and the i'm
provement of the poultry industry
as a whole. Following an excel
lent broiler supper, which was pre-
pared and served by the ladies of
the Milford Grange, brief address
es were delivered by DR.. Francis
B. Short, of Milford, and Director
G. A. McCue of the University of
Delaware, who complimented the
association for its achievements to-
ward the raising of higher quality
poultry and in fostering a spirit of
fellowship among all poultrymen.
The chief item of business which
was transacted during this brief
session consisted of the election of
officers for the coming year, which
resulted in the selection of Byron
Pepper, Georgetown, president;
Frank B. Austin, Milford, vice
president; H. S. Palmer, Newark,
secretary; and H. r. Lemex, Mil
ford, treasurer. In addition to the
officers the newly elected members
of the executive committe include
Charles E. Grove, Milford; j. II.
Richter, Dover; w. @. Newton,
Bridgeville; L. w. Palmer, Delmar;
N. ]. Lannon. Elsmere; WV. Steen
Dagsboro; and Oliver Suddard,
Newark Along with the business
part of the meeting awards to the
winners in the All club poultry
judging contest, which took place
at the state poultry show in Mil
ford last January, were presented
by A. D. Cobb, assistant director of
the extension service of the Uni
versity of Delaware. The students
in vocational agriculture who were
also winners in this poultry judg
ing contest, and who received their
awards at the State Future Farm
ers of America meeting that was
held in Newark last month, were
announced by Secretary H. S. Pal
mer. AS a special entertainment
feature in connection with this an
nual meeting Illustrated chalk
drawings were presented by Ernest
Raughley of Harrington, who pos
sesses unusual talent along this
line and in other phases of art. Mr..
Raughley's chalk sketches of seen
cry were ably accompanied by
vocal selections by George r. Mill
er also of Harrington. The final
presentation on the evenings pro-
gram was given by Fred Sultzer
and a troup of vaudeville enter
tainers from Philadelphia. This
was one of the largest annual
meetings ever to be held by the
Delaware State Poultry Associa-
ton, and everyone who was pres
ent was enthusiastically in favor of
continuing this form of a meeting
in the future as one of the means
of creating interest.

FOR BETTER GOVERNMENT
Organization Hopeful That Cover
nor Buck Will Again Be Candidate

The Better Government League
of Delaware has selected John K.
johnson, Of Newark, one of the or
ganizers Of the league and identi-
fled with the higher type of State
politics, to take charge of the
leagues immediate campaign
work He will take charge at
once. Mr.. Johnston is deeply in
terested in the Leagues idea of in
teresting the citizens of the State,
particularly the taxpayers, in the
movement to put the administra-
tion of public affairs on a strictly
business basis. He believes the
business of government is import
ant to every individual and that
everyone should concern himself
or herself with the character of
those to whom is entrusted the ex-
penditure of public funds. The
league is to function as a State
wide, permanent association, with
an able executive committee to
continually direct its policies and
select proper leaders to conduct
each camgaign as it develops. The
immediate objective is the election
this fall of a State ticket which
will continue the good work car
ried on during the last four years
under Governor Bucks administra-
tion. The league is hopeful that
the Governor will consent again to
become a candidate and has urged
him to allow the use of his name.
Efforts will be made to elect a
Legislature which will stand back
of the Leagues principles which
have been framed to insure clean
business administration Of public
affairs.

PASSING OF DIGNITY

Dignity mas gone, ana no
one seems to care" says Fred
eric F. Van De Water, in
Harper'S Magazine. "The last
Presidential campaign said so.
The tabloid newspapers say
SO. Mrs. Van Hooven-schoov-
en- and the Queen of Balkania,
appearing in the advertise
ments as indorsers of a
beauty preparation, say so;
and cloud of witnesses,
young and old and including
practically my entire list Of
acquaintance, reiterate their
emancipation from its restric-
tion. Dignity has vanished
so completely that even those
of us who yearn most rauc-
ously for the good old days
neglect to weep over its alb
sence.
Dignity was, among other
things, a self-consciousness,
an inhibition, a something
that kept a woman obviously
not designed for that posture,
from lying on her stomach be-
fore a fireplace; that restrain
ed the component parts of a
severed matrimonial union
from writing pseudo-novels
about their grievances; that
frowned upon the male or
female-who became noisly
liquored in a drawing room;
that reserved narrations of
sexual experience for the con-
fession of mothers ear rather
than for the magazine count
.er.
"You may still encounter
traces of it in the very old.
There are men and women of
great age on whom its calm
rests; who survey life with
tranquil eyes and follow it's
routine with the grace of long
practice. Infants display it,
too, as they in a still earlier
stage temporarily wore gills.
1t used also be the constant
resort of men and women of
40. 1t kept them from being
more ridiculous than 40 must
be.
"You did not wrestle with
your hostess when you were
late to a party, and no matron
hailed you by your first name
before she learned your last.
Dignity was the city of re-
fuge to which a large, gray
person might flee in case of
dancing or parlor games. But
now no trace even of the
foundation remains"

appeals, it is to be hoped that
the Better Homes Show" she

be a success, but a permanent

Unchain Labor

This session of congress has been full of disap-
pontments for men of small means Now tax bill
has been prepared that will take more money from
the pocket of the humble citizen every day of the
year.
But at last one victory is in sight for the man at
the bottom of the ladder
Inc ant1-injunction bill, approved almost unani-
mousy in the senate, at least will give him a fighting
chance to obtain decent wages, decent working con-
mtions and decent sense of responsible manhood.
1t can accomplish little for those now in desperate
straits. But men who live through the depression.
who survive it with stamina and morale unimpaired
VIII nave better chance than before if this bill
becomes law to unite free men and fix the fair
price for their services
Inc right which has been theoretically theirs for
so long, which justice has acknowledged with lin
service will be theirs in fact
Inc antl-lnjuncton BILL as it reaches the house is
tne careful work of of the best constitutional
lawyers in the country who have spent years
Ing It, It's final approval need not and should not he
delayed Its passage will give members Of this con-
gress just cause for pride.

Graft at Bottom

u IDNAPING has come to be re-
IN garded as a very promising and
comparatively safe commercial VEN
ture by the criminally inclined, and
we face the problem of showing
them that it is not.
We face the same problem in a.
good many other lines, for crime has
taken on a singularly commercial
character throughout this country.
Where most of it used to be COM
mitted for spite, the most of it is
now committed for cash.
Crime has learned much from
business not only as to method, but
as to object. Your modern thief
keeps books, though he may forget
to file an income tax return. Also,
he keeps in good standing with the
fraternity, knows what lawyer to
see when he gets into trouble, what
cop can be trusted and what court
is likely to be kind.
We have got to go to the founda-
ton of the structure to destroy it, or
any of its principal branches, to the
source of its financial and political
power, to the treasury chest, graft
and corruption which make the
underworld feel safe.
