WHERE 9 PEE CFyT VOTE

An object lesson in citizenship wa.
given the American people at tn,
election which took place in the
Saar district in Europe, on the Ques.
ton whether this territory should
return to German sovereignty. Nine
ty-eight per cent OF the qualified
voters cast ballots in that election.
In our country it is considered a re-
markable thing If you can get rs per
cent of the qualified voters out to
mark their ballots.
The proportion Of our people who
vote is usually only about so pei
cent or less of those who might dc
so. because millions of people never
bother to register for elections.
It has often been said that the
German people have no gift for self
government. But If they are will
ing to turn out in such numbers to
an election, it could be argued that
they have more gift for self-govern-
ment than our people, who neglect
this duty of citizenship so deplor-
ably.
II we could get 9s per cent of our
people to vote, or even 80 per cent,
many old and intrenched evils could
be reformed. By some strange con-
lradiction, the people who don't vote
include a great number of very in
elligent folks. The person of small

Most people would rather take the
lot of the penniless one who has

We can rejoice that through the

geOn General Cummings of the
United States Public Health Service,
reports that through these past five
years the general health of the peO-
pie has not been lowered. The death
rate has declined annually during
that period. That decline may be
due in part to the advance of medi-
cal knowledge. The scientists are
constantly finding wonderful new
methods to fight disease.
Some classes of the population
might show lowered health as the
result of these years. Much is said
about undernourished children. Yet
or the other hand. lot of people are
better of physically than they were.
Many folks who in 1929 were step
ping high, spending too late hours
at sporting resorts, many of them
indulging in vices and dissipations,
have had to go slow. They may
yawn as they sit by the freside. But
anyway they get enough sleep. and /
that is a vital necessity which for

sodsend to many of these folks.
People are better off in simple
pleasures in their home neighbOr-
hoods than they were when riding

diseases that carry men and women

THE GROUNDHOG TELLS us

The fable that tells Of the excur-
sion of the grounding on February
2nd, when he comes out to look for
his shadow and determine if spring
is soon to begin, is a curious reac-
tion of human nature from the dis
appointments of life.
The grounding says that IL he
sees his shadow, If all is bright and
sunny, if the weather looks like
spring. then We are going to get
more winter. There is human phi
lOsOphy in that. We find it so in
life. When things look too sunny
and too bright, then is the time to
look out for all bad signs. II the
country had followed that idea when
things looked so sunny in the boom
days, it would not have encountered
the storms that buifeted us in the
Years following.

make the suggestion, because il
seems to me that it is from the Bus
iness viewpoint that we must aD-
praise President ROosevelt's course
from now on.
The recent record has not been
wholly bad, insofar as actual hap
penings are concerned. But what
about the spirit back of them?
On the Observation-Disclosures side
we may count the Securities and Ex-
change Commissions simplification
of the requirements for registration
OF securities. Although the risks
laid upon directors of companies
are still dangerously unfair, this
modification of practice may tend to
release the paralysis of new capital
in industry.
Another helpful development has
been the revelation that the Senate
would uphold a Presidential veto of
an uncOmpromised bonus bill.
! suppose, too, that we may set it
down on the credit side of the led
ger that the administration is not to
permit Congress to allocate" the
four billions of dollars proposed for
public works. The public works pro-
gram may turn out to be one more
of Mr.. ROosevelt's major fallacies. |
but certainly it would not help to |
have the cash doled out by Congress
on a DOrk-barrel" basis.

Turn now to the events of the AL
most current past which are mimi

difficult path of Business Recovery.
Of course. the overwhelmingly
dominant influence lay in the plead

lore the Supreme Court of the Unit
I'd States. Here has come home to

NEWSPAPER REPORTS indicate
that. the Delaware Liquor Commits
sion has recommended, or is about
to recommend, to the General AS
sembly, that the Liquor laws of this
State be so amended that the sale of
liquors and beer on Sunday will be
lawful. The Commission, and Hon.
Pierre S. DUPONT are treading on
dangerous ground when they make
such a suggestion. Delaware citi-
zens do not want the legal sale of
liquor on Sunday. The Chronicle
will lead any fight in lower Della
ware looking to the defeat of such
a move, and an aroused citizenry
will be thrown into the polls if
necessary to break such a condition
if it Is thrust upon the people. It is
alright to say that the law is to be
such that every community shall in
dieate through proper authorities
whether liquor is to be sold on Sun
day or not-but it is not right, and
no legal sidestepping is debatable
in this instance. Just as a matter 4

Another cancellation" that of the
airmail contracts, has again reared
its head at Washington. The Fedel al
Aviation Commission, headed by
Clark Howell of Georgia, has draft
ed its preliminary report. It is un-
( derstood that the document. as it
ROW stands, fails to recognize or
remedy the Farley cancellation of
the airmail contracts or the indie
fensible black listing" of the air
officials without judicial trial. This
certainly cannot reassure Business.
Nor can the inexplicable and in
defensible Ickes-Moses controversy
do so.
Robert Moses is the head of the
park system for the City of New
York. He is also head of the Tribor-
ough Bridge Authority, which is
building a vast bridge to unite the
boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and
the Bronx. Secretary Of the Interior
Ickes has suddenly issued "gen- |
eral Order" which admittedly ap- !
plies only to Mr.. Moses, saying that I
he must resign either one or the
other of his jobs, unless he wishes
to see the government stop lending
the money On which the bridge is
being built.
Here we have a case of direct
bureaucratic interference with eff
cient local government. As / write,
il is beginning to appear that it is
not Secretary Ickes. as much as
President Roosevelt himself, who is
back of this unexplained, petty, per-
sonal action. Business can not but
take from it more fear as to the ir-
responsible use of power at Wash
IngtOn.
AS for the President himself. his
main contribution to the cause of
Recovery, which we all like to be-
ieve to be near his heart, has been
he issuance of a defense of his lat
ist anti-Business campaign-that
lgainst the public utilities. Before
ending to Congress- his proposed
egislation against holding compan-
es. he gave out a respOrt from his
adical Federal Power Commission
to show that all this talk
bout hurting public utility securl-
les was nonsense.
Almost simultaneously the admin
stration added another to the long
st of industries which Il is appar-
ntly helping toward Prosperity by

Milford. Friday, January %, 1885

THE SEVERE SLEET, ice anC
snow storm which struck Delaware
on Wednesday, blocking highways
crippling traffic and playing havoc
with telegraph, telephone and cleo
trio wires, clearly demonstrated to
residents of Milford two outstanding
facts: First, that those Milford tax
payers who a few years ago waged
a winning fight to retain our mu-
nicipally owned light and water
plant were wise and farsighted.
Second, that in times of stress this
city has officials second to none
when the desire and effort to main
tain electric service in the face of
almost unsurmountable odds are
concerned. While reports are in
definite, it would seem that towns
served with electric current from a
distance could not possibly have
maintained a service. Every resi- |
dent of Milford owes City Manager !

Thomas Banning. superintendent Of |

hard working force Of men a vote
OF praise and gratitude for the out
standing manner in which they bat
tied against almost overwhelming
odds on Wednesday in their efforts
to maintain an electric service for
patrons of the Light and Water
plant. Their task was huge, with
trees falling under the weight of
accumulating ice, carrying with
them power and light lines, poles |
and other equipment. Notwithstand-
ing the immensity of the task, City |
