ASSAILS S~ACREDNESS OF
DEBT
Onlooker.

BY OnlOoker.
The Lafayette Journal and
Courier seems to be disturbed over
the four and one-half billlon-dollar
increase in the national debt in the
last year.
1t does not seem TO be disturbed
over the multiplied debt of citizens
represented by fixed charges, such as
mortgages, bonds and taxes, where
that multiplication is the result Of
lowered income for wages, rents,
commodity price declines and fall
ure Of corporate earnings. Bank
ruptcy Of the farmer and business
man, also the decreased buying
power Of wages, do not seem to dis
turb the country's single track
minds. It is no wonder we founder
in social science, if we fail to place
our emphasis on human well being,
as paramount to gold, leather,
shells, beads or any other fake
standard.
The longer the total debt prob
lem is left to grow, instead of re-
ducing it, the greater the crash in
evitably will be. We are as cock
eyed about IL own internal debts
and their sanctity as we r about
the foreign debts. Debtors and
creditors who do not earn income,
upon which rests their ability to
pay, are as useful as stoves on the
desert. When our antiquated money
fetish ceases to be the driving
power Of industry and it is replaced
by social credit" which will de-
liver a maximum of goods TO al
consumers, we will not be bothered
by debts, either public or private,
In the meantime we are just Rid
ding ourselves over the "sacredness'
Of debt obligations and feed r.
selves hooey and bologna and yelp
for relief loans and doles.

THINKS BIRDS ARE
NOT APPRECIATED
BY Hiram Lackey

By Hiram Lackey
Will men or insects be the future
masters of the earth? What does it
mean to us to learn that there is
danger of human life becoming ex-
tinct with the passing of bird life?
This problem is disturbing the
minds of u great scientists. Birds
are an important factor in deter
mining the success or failure Of the
human ace in its struggle for exis-
tence.
The success Of plans for the pro-
lection of birds against their enc
miles must necessarily rest on the
public attitude. Today, the writer
was told by a staff member Of the
Indianapolis Central Library that
A. DuPuy's classic entitled Our
Bird Friends and Foes" is ready for
readers. An enlightened public
opinion which DuPuy has made
possible, ear and will give to birds
their rightful place in the interest
of men.
If the beauty of plumase and
song that strike so tremendously
upon the heartstrings of lovers and
poets could be felt by all Of us, this
old world would drop its mantle of
melancholy and burst into a song
Of redemption.

What did we really solve about
the liquor business when the prohl-
bition amendment was repealed?
Bootlegging still is prevalent; the
saloons that were not to come back
have merely adopted aliases. The
accident toll has increased sharply.
Would you say that drunkenness
has decreased with an increased
supply? Is the effect Of liquor le-
gally sold less harmful to the VIC
tim of alcohol? Is there no more
collision of law officers, with the

between government and booze?

Edtor's Note-Albert III. LOsche,
city purchasisg agent, explained
that this year the city continued
its old contract signed in jan
uary, 1888, which provides that
two gasoline companies furnish
gasoline at 5.8 cents a gallon
below the standard price at serv-
ice stations. g
When the county and the post
office department advertised for
gasoline bids this year, MI. LOsche
said, the best bid was 3 cents
below the service station price.
Rather than risk being forced to
pay a higher price under a new
contract, the old contract was
continued, he said.
MI. LOsche said he was
unaware whether n not any con-
tractors we're interested in either
o" the two gasoline companies
supplying gasoline to the city.

BY Curious
Why is it that the city has not
asked gasoline bids in the last two
or three years? In the past it has
been customary to receive bids
every year.
If The Times will have its re-
porters look into the matter, I am
sure it will find some interesting
revelations. The city purchasisg
agent. I am told, is buying gasoline
and oil from a company owned or
controlled by a certain prominent
street contractor who also gets a
lot. of street work from the city.
Please look into this and turn on
the light"

Delaware College, Glass of 1876

Mrs. Annie Watson Moore, one
of the few surviving women grad
yates of Delaware College, died
Wednesday afternoon in Delaware
Hospital where she had been i'll foc

shortly after her graduation the in
stitution stopped receiving girls as
students and they were barred un-
til the Women's College was open
ed in 1914. During the celebration
of the centennial of Delaware Col
lege last May the surviving wom-
en- graduates of the college only
about eight or ten in number, held
a reunion in connection with the
celebration. 1t was great disap-
pointment to Mrs. Moore that she
was unable to attend this reunion
but several of her classmates call
ed to see her 1t was shortly after
this that she was removed to the
hospital and she had been there
most of the time since that time.
After graduating from college Mrs.
Moore for a time taught school in
the town public school. Despite
her advanced age she was active
until the time of ner illness last
spring. For a number of years she
served as town librarian. She was
a member of the Newark Presby-
terian Church and Cooch's Bridge
