GOLD FLOWS RAcK

One cheering sight OF the past
weeks has been that of s4OO, 900, ,OOC
gold brought back into the treasury
and the banks. This return Of money
removes one cause of. depression,
which is caused not so much by lack
of money, as by the failure Of money
to circulate. Some possessofs of
money think they haye a right to
do as they please with what they
own. But when the money of busi-
ness is based on gold coin, and many
thousands of people secrete that
coin so it is not available for busi-
ness, their action tends to stihe
their yellow coins are entitled to
trade. .-
Those who have trOoped back with
praise for good sense, while those
who still cling to it, are helping to
delay economic recovery.

PATRIOTIC LEADERSHIP

President Roosevelt received an
unusual letter the other day, con-
tanning a $5 gold piece and Il gold
chain. from young women of
Brooklyn, n. Y. She sent this Offer
ing as her act OF cooperation with
the movement to return gold to cir
culation. She said she was out of
work, which made her gift all the
more notable. She proved her sim
cerity by Withholding her name,
simply signing herself AN Ital0-
American" We need more good
folks like this girl. It would bring
the country Il new impulse of power.
There are more people of that type
than we realize. People are all the
time doing kind and generous things.
Many of them who have very little
money to spare. have given gener-
Olsly 10 relief funds. Many others
have given time and energy without
stint to relief work.
There is Il vast power of co-opera-
ton, ii it can be reused to action.
The great majority of our people are
willing to give effort and sacrifice
to the good of the country, if they
are inspired by the enthusiasm of a
mass movement.
An example was given by the pop
ular response to the radio appeal |
made by President Roosevelt the |
Sunday night of the bank holidays. |
He asked the people to be patient
and calm and reasonable, and the
effect was very marked when the
banks opened. in heading off rush
for unreasonable amounts of cash.
The people are willing to follow,
If wise and powerful leaders will |
tell them what to do and what not |
to do. We need such leaders in
every state and city. If those with
courage and clear vision will speak
up, and tell the people what they
can do to promote economic welfare,
he people will follow their lead.
rhere is a tremendous power of pa
rintic sentiment that can be made
Effective here in Delaware and else
where.
Milford chronicle., 1933-03-31

We are surprised at the passage
by the House of the bill submitting
the repeal of the 18th Amendment
TO a convention of delegates to be
elected by the State at large. Never
before in the history of this State
have the delegates to a Constitutions
al Convention been so elected.
When The Constitution of the
United States was first submitted,
Delaware elected its delegates by
counties. Every amendment of the
constitution of the United States
since submitted was submitted to
the Legislature of the States. In
this State the members OF the Leg
islature before the present State
Constitution were elected by the
counties and since by Senatorial and
Representative Districts. So that
the present bill is an unheard of
departure in considering constitu-
tional matters in this State and is
not only contrary to precedent in
this State but contrary to spirit of
our constitutional system of State
government and of our laws and
politics.
When the rural sections of Della
ware surrender their rights long
established by custom and written
into our constitution and laws, then
Kent and Sussex might as well sur
render their rights of citizenship and
legally vest in the citizens of our
one city the control of the State and
every integral part thereof and the
future and welfare of the people of
those counties and ambitions and 1
success of the residents of those
counties of the future. The repre-
sentatives of the lower counties of
Delaware as early as 1900 refused 1
to be dominated and dictated to by |
the representatives of the counties
in Pennsylvania, then all a part of
the government of William Penn,
apd set up separate government of
the three counties, New Castle, Kent
and Sussex, which William Penn ,
recognized and permitted, and these

HERE COMES THE CIRCUS

Boys of ages from six to sixty will
get their first spring thrill from the
announcement that the circus is
preparing to emerge from winter
quarters, bigger and better than
ever before. Lowered cost of living
will make possible this year a va
riety of circus showmanship that
excels anything heretofore present
ed.
AS far as the animals are con-
cerned, the biggest thrill of all the
dangerous animal acts that have ever
been attempted is that which has
been developed by Clyde Beatty, czar
of the lion-tiger world. His act,
known as "The Big Cage" will top
the circus billing for this season,
reinforced by the popularity of his
just-completed motion picture and
his just-published book. Forty lions
and tigers in a 32-foot arena, snarl-
ing, swapping, biting-a steel cage
chock full of angry cats-and i'm
their midst a single young man fight
ing them all off with nothing but
kitchen chair apd a flash gun-this
is a spectacle that will never fail to
bring spectators in the big tent to
the edge of their seats.

BEER LEGISLATION

Many states are expected to per-
NIT the manufacture and sale oi
beer under new legislation passed
by congress, provided the same is
not invalidated by the United States
supreme court.
To many excellent persons the
legalization of beer represents a
step backward, encouraging people
in n habit which will lead to intox-
ication, and to the use of much hard
er liquors. And to others, the new
law is simply an admission that the
old prohibitions have proved a Wis
ionary experiment, and must give
way to some system of regulation
more in accordance with realities.
Yet there are certain ends which
good people of all shades Of opinion
should seek by united action. There
will never be any law against pro-
noting temperance by education
and example. No change in the law
will ever save an intemperate per-
son from the condemnation of the
for his acts of folly.
If we cant agree about how al |
cOhOl shall he restrained by law.
we should all agree that intoXica-
ion is a harmful and disgraceful
hing. In its earlier stages it turns
/ man into a fool, and in its later
mes, into a beast.
A young man who finds this habit
on him, should stop, look,
nd listen. He should think of all
he boys of fair promise who ended
ID in the gutter. If he can't control
imself when he drinks with his
riends. he would better call for [
If his friends jeer at his {
hoice, and he can't stand their $
persiflage. he needs new I
ct of friends. If he can't control '
imself, no one will want his serv- q
es for any kind of work. The
Orld will have no use for him. He a
lst has to be thrown out as so much g
aste scrap.

HOME TRAINING FOR CHILDREN

Our cities here in Delaware must
continue through these times to
give their children a good practical
education. But this education will
not contain all the facilities and ad-
vantages offered through the days
of extravaganza. Yet parents should
not feel that their children are be-
ing denied opportunities they really
need
There is too much tendency for
parents to pass the buck to the
schools. They look to the schools
to do things they should do for their
cwn children. For instance, some
cities may drop temporarily courses
for girls in cookery. Well, even ii
they do, why can't the women teach
their own daughters how to cook?
The women of former generations
did so, and such training produced
a long succession of practical wives
and hOmemakers. who knew how to
keep their families well and COM
Portable.
Parents may bewail the fact that
they can't afford to send their chill |
dren away to schools and colleges
as they hoped. and they act as if
all expectation of advancement was
therefore denied these disappointed
youngsters. Yet if people are in
telligent, they should be able to
teach their children many things
themselves, many of which they
would not usually learn in colleges.
The trouble is that parents have
commonly been too busy and occu-
pied to train their children as they !
should. Or they have lost control ;
over their children, and the children
do not take to the home instruction
favOrably. If the parents would en-
ter more into the life of their chill
Iiren, share their sports and pastimes,
they could sway them more readily.
The school can't do the whole job :
of disciplinihg children. since they
can't control them after school !.
hours. We need new movement
among parents for better home
training for children. which will
do more for Them than book knowl- =,
edge can. !

they are frequently no more capable
than their competitors But they
are so determined to know all there
is about their jobs, and to give the
best possible service there is, that
they become more competent than

we began reviyin~, ..1s 1920 idea that Franklin
Roosevelt was headed for the White House. 1t
had bee6sase rule at the annual reunions for
US to put on a dinner show somewhat like the
Gridiron Club stunts in Washington. From the
outset We harped upon that distinct view of
the White House we had had in 1920, bringing
it closer year by year.
Our theme song, adopted during the 1920
campaign, was that old ballad Are We Almost
There?" telling the pathetic story of the return
of an i'll and disillusioned country girl from
sad experiences in the great city to see again
the popular" trees at the old homestead.
The idea in 1920 was the ironicsl slant of the
opening phrase. since we had no expectation at
all of getting there in the way of seeing Mr..
Roosevelt elected Vice President.
Last January We had to recast the song to
fit new and great happenings. Mr.. Roosevelt
was President-elect. We made it over into an
allegedly musical announcement of the fact
that he had arrived; yet 1t will be the old
