Milford, Friday, August 10, 1884

TWO WEEKS AGO the Chronicle
editorially urged the leaders of the
warning factions within the Repub-
lican Party in Delaware to throw
aside their differences, to meet in
conference and if possible make
compromises which would insure
the placing of a winning ticket in
the field next November. That, in
substance, was the text of the edi-
toTial. Happenings of the past few
days indicate that steps have been
taken along this line. 1t is viOlat-
ing no condolences when we make
the statement that prominent lead
ers of each faction have met in con-
ference, have discussed the political
outlook as it affects Delaware and
each subdivision herein. and have
at least reached tentative agree
ment which should go far toward
bringing harmony into the Republi-
can ranks in Delaware. From Sus-
sex County. however. comes rumors
that few of the organization lead
ers in this county are advising
against any compromise and are
taking the stand that the sO-called
anti-orsaniLatiOn group should he
ignored. This attitude is wrong. 1t
is against the wishes of the Vast
majority of the members of the Re
publican Party; and if adhered to
will create situation which may
smell disaster for those advocating
it. Now is not the time for a per-
son. or group of persons to seek
self-interest above the hest interests
of the PARTY. Leaders who continue
tn follow such a line of attack VIII
lead themselves and their friends
info a position which will mean bnt
grief for them. The move for mar
monv has been made. It has been
met nv those approached with con-
riIiatory reaction, and those who for
selfish personal reasons try 10
'monkey-wrench" the movement
may find themselves high and dry
when the final plans are worked

HAVE A GOOD TINE AT HOME

Millions of people are spending a
lot of money in roaming around the
country. Up to a certain point,
travel is useful if people can afford
it. But many of them roam around
just because they are not having a
good time at home. They think if
they went off to some public resort.
they would have more excitement
and pleasure.
Anyone who has a social nature or
enjoys activity can have just as good
time in Delaware and on the Del
marva Peninsula as he can anywhere
else. and he does not have to go
away to have that good time If he
enjoys games at the summer resort.
why does he not start playing bridge
with his neighbors. or play lawn ten
mis- and other outdoor games with
them? All these and other diver
siOns that make life pleasant at
summer resorts, can be enjoyed in
your home town.

COOL TRAVEL

The question is often asked how
the railroads can get back some OF
the business lost through the COM
petition of motor vehicles? Mil
lions of people who used to do all
their travelling by rail. now do most
OF it over the highways. This loss
has hit the railroads hard.
1t is hot business travelling on tor
rid summer days. with the baking
sun beating down on the roof of a
car. The traveller peels off his coat
and vest. and pOurs down the ice
water. but even those alleviations do
not make him happy When the line
offers him one of the new air con-
ditioned cars. his views about rail-
road travel become more favorable.
Give us more of these cool cars.
Mr. Railroad Director. and many
folks who have been burning gas
oline will buy your tickets in hot
weather.

MAN REACHS UPWARD

How would you like to be $4,000
feet up in the air. held up only by
damaged balloon? That was the
experience of the three daring avia-
tors who ascended into the STRAIT
Osphere from Rapid City, South Da-
kota, and at that height they per-
ceived the ominOus fact that the bal
loon that held them up had a rip
80 feet long. Would that rip keep
growing?
Fortunately. they descended in
safety, but science takes many risks
in its ambition to explore the secrets
of nature. There aren't many wild
beasts left to fight. but the forces
of nature are still more terrible,
when man ventures out of the safe
environment where nature placed
him. When he crosses those limits.
nature says Beware" But man re-
plies: 81 must reach out and up to
your farthest boundaries, and no
peril will turn me back"

SLIPPING9

Can people who have apparently
passed the best years of their life
who think they are slipping" OIL
whose popularity seems to have de-
clined, come back, as the saying isl
Many people will say no, and they
say that once a person hits the down
grade, his day is over.
The career OF the late Marie Dress
Ter, who has Just passed on, suggests
that there is no limit to peoples
power to come back" until their
physical and mental powers decline.
After a brilliant career on the stage
in earlier life, Miss Dressler. fol-
lowing the World War, found her
self in desperate circumstances.
There seemed no place for her in
theatrical or screen life. For nine
years she struggled without results.
'They don't want old women" she
, said.
Then she went to Hollywood, and
achieved a success eclipslng even
her former work. and winning very
high honors. A story like this ought
to encourage many people who feel
they are slipping"
When people are failing to come
up to their past marks, what is the
matter? Sometimes of course. there
is real decline of power. The hu-
man machine can only stand about
so much, il will wear out in time.
That is the pathos of life. that when
once it wears down. something is
gone that can't return. But as a
usual thing, when people think they
are slipping. they are merely tired.
or have been following some wrong
track. A good vacation. or a new
point of view. a new effort in some
fresh direction. will often give them
renewed power.
There is a tremendous force in
experience, in the trained mind and
hand. The folks who think they are
slipping should cheer up. and try |
again. Probably they have many |
things yet to give the world.

MOYING FACTORIES 0uT

President Roosevelt intends to cal
a conference of leading manufac.
turers in the near future. to con.
slider plans for the transfer of many
factory plants from crowded city
areas to suburban and country
towns.
It seems unnatural that vast
masses of people should be concen-
trated in a few great cities, living
under congested conditions, when
there is unlimited space in the whole
country. Take New York City. for
instance. In the 3O9 square miles
of that great population live, a.
100000 people are trying to live,
which is nearly six per cent of all
the population of our great country.
Why is it necessary for such
masses Of people to crowd together?
High prices must be paid for land,
for homes and stores, which add to
living costs. The majority of these
people must live a long way from
their daily labOrs. Many of them
spend two to three hours a day Just
coming to and going from their
work, which takes a big slice out of
their time. and the transportation
costs money. e'
Millions of these people live in too
crowded homes. and many of the
poorer folks can't afford sanitary
and healthful accommodations. II
would be godsend to such ones. If
million or two in various cities
could be moved out into smaller
places.
II is of course a tremendous prop
Osition to accomplish such changes.
and such things have to be done
very gradually. Many people would
rather live in a crowded metrOpoli-
tan street and congested tenement.
than in a healthful small city or
town.
If steady work can be offered in
smaller communities. a drift out Of
the great metropolitan centers will
be encouraged. When a family ex-
changes its precautions foothold in |
some great city slum, for a home |
which il owns with grass, flowers,
and trees around it. time of new
hope has dawned.

PENSIONED RAILROAD MEN

The new law calling for retirement
and pensioning of railroad employees
at ages running from 65 to 20, will
find many who hate to quit. And
many of them, even if over 20. are
still alert and vigorous.
The public will miss the presence
of many genial and reliable men who
have done this work with such f.
deity over many years. But the re-
tirement will make room for many
younger men. The public will give
its best wishes to these veterans
whose more active career is soon to
terminate. But they are so bright
and energetic, that they will find
plenty Of useful things to do.

CAN UNITED STATES KEEP QUIT

If the troubles in Austria should
result in a general European war,
as seems possible, could the United
States keep out of it? Every citizen
of Delaware, and other common
wealths should think seriously on
the chance that we may be involved
i'm another such conflict.
Most people will reply at once,
that of course the United States
must and can keep out of such a war
if it comes. But they do not stop to
think of all that is involved. If there
is general war in Europe. the sub
marines will attack merchant YES
sells. The effort will be made by
such attack to prevent the shipment
of supplies into the lighting coun-
tries.
In attacking such ships, the lives
of some Americans may be sacrificed.
Then a wild cry for revenge will go
up. 1t will be said that if the United
States is to command any respect. it
must protect the rights of its citi-
zens when they travel the sea on
lawful errands. And that means de-
clsring war against the nation re-
sponsible for such deeds.
1t sometimes does not pay to in
sist on all your rights. You have
right to go into some great city,
and prOwl around the toughest Grim
inal district at dead of night. But
if you do. you are likely to get slug
ged. 1t would he better policy to
avoid insisting on your right to do
such things.
If these countries get to fighting,
American citizens would better keep
off all ships of warning powers. 1t
should be made clear that IL they
sail on such ships. they take their |
own chances. Also il is not worth |
while trying TO ship goods to fight |
ing powers, if making such ship |
ments would involve 'us in another |
war. II is hardly worth while spend
ing $50.O0O. 100000 on war. and sac
rificing the lives of hundred thou
sand young men. to save few mil
lions in trade.
Milford chronicle., 1934-08-10

the public are being emphasized.
And public rights are being assert
ed more positively than a any pre-
vious time in history, Employers
are at last beginning to realize that
their working people must be treat
ed like human beings and not like
machines. Employees are also lear
ming that they cannot upset indus
try and the public apple-cart.
Milford chronicle., 1934-08-10

The day of arbitration for labor
strikes and lockouts is here. Laws
and codes. associations and unions.
and national schemes of recovery
have helped to bring this about. but
the voice of the public demanding
the protection of public rights under
all circumstances and conditions
has been the main factor in hasten
ing the reforms.

To MAKE MONEY

TO MAKE MONEY, you must
spend some. Trying to get along
without advertising is like trying
to do business in cramped quarters
where the goods can't be shown.

THE COUNTRY WOULD be in

THE COUNTRY WOULD be in a
healthier state. if the people of
places like Milford, and merchants
cooperating would buy all their sup
plies at home. 1t would tend to
check the excessive growth of great
cities, which are too big for their
own good or for that of the country.
