! For months past there have been
evidences Of a strong feeling against
a planned economy" under OUT
Government. Many who were blithe-
ly. for the new system two years
ago aud year ago are now eager to
| get rid of large parts Of it. Hence
tthe National Recovery Act In the
way OF being revised" out of all
RECOGNITION. Hence the wholesale
abandonment Of industrial scodes,
the striking out everywhere for
greater freedom in business and ip
the common life.
aAll this Is, of course, denounced
by some as the height Of reactionary
selfshness. They picture captains
Of industry and leaders in the tinan-
cial world as eager to win back at
least a portion of their old liberty
to exploit and plunder the people.
Doubtless there is something Of that
in it. Old habits are not easily
broken. But there is every sign that
the movement away from extreme
regulation is really a movement Of
the human spirit toward freedom Of
thought and action. The American
people have been sampling the new
order and have decided that the old
was better-better. at any rate, In

deavor. Those are too precious to

ing, that the day of building up
great fortunes ont Of the skilled or
ganization of natural resources or
of unused opportunities is past. But
we must still have our pioneers and
inventive geniuses to whom the doors
should be left open. This applies
not merely to the creation of wealth.
It covers all the activities of the
human spirit. In literature and

HOME TOWN BASEBALL

Baseball is still called the ma
tional game" the great democratic
form of athletics where rich and
poor sink all differences in their ad-
miration of home runs and snappy
fielding, and where the spectator
gets his throat hoarser from holler-
ing than in any other form of plea
sure.
But to make this game really the
national one. it needs to be played
in other places than on big league
diamonds, or by the trained twirlers
of the professional leagues. Every
American boy should inherit. as his
right by nature. a chance to play
OH some ball team. II every school
boy neighbOrhOod could have a good
playground, and every boy be given
his chance to bat and run bases, a
lot of tricky mischief would never

Competitions between factory and
Shop and store teams have been a
wonderful thing in thousands of
communities. The young fellow who
is running bases for his shop team
doesn't have to run the gasoline all

School teams have kept countless
boys we'll occupied Saturday after

PROTECTING THE WILD
FLOWERS

It's a fine thing to love beauty, but
there is such a thing as loving il toe
violently. About this time you see
people going out from cities into
the country, breaking off great heaps
of branches from Towering shrubs,
and pulling up delicate blooming
plants by the roots. They drag home
these Towering masses, which wither
in a few hours. Meanwhile, the
bushes and roadsides that were
adorned by this color, became devas-
tated and barren.
FlOwering plants that were once
the pride and glory of a state, have
often been rooted out of all locations
near any well Travelled road. You
have to visit remote spots to find any
Of these plants, if there are any left.
Or the bushes and plants that bear
these blooms may be so crippled by
frequent raiding that they rarely
bloom. The wild flowers are one Of
the assets of Delaware, and should
not be recklessly destroyed.

GROANS OF THE TAxPAYER

An underground grOwl of protest
is always arising from the taxpay-
ers of the land, II is heard even in
so-called prosperous times. Now
that taxes have been increased al
most everywhere, this grOan has
reached the proportion OF Il roar.
But for various reasons the roaring
is not very effective.
People who pay taxes usually have
some money with which TO pay them
consequently are not as a usual
thing absolutely suffering for the
necessities of life. The taxes pinch
them enough so they groan and roar
in private. But when it comes to
taking the steps necessary to start
and maintain an organization which
shall bring continuous pressure to
bear in behalf of lower taxes, il
usually means too much effort by
the taxpayers. He would rather sit
in front of the fireside and groan
about the taxes, than get out to a
taxpayers meeting, help organize
movement, and perhaps serve as
one of the officers.
Hence great deal of the taxpay-
ers' groaning does not accomplish
any particular result. Meanwhile
other elements of people bring pres
sure to bear on the legislators, and
are more effective in getting the re-
suits they want.
There have been important move
ments of taxpayers during the past
few years to organize their forces, L
and obtain hearing before legisla- {
tive and municipal bodies. These I
movements have accomplished some I
results. But the taxpayers as a
whole will have to give such efforts t
more active support, If they are to 1
have any marked success.
High taxes have a blighting effect
on industry. And when taxes are S
placed on any form of merchandise y
or property, the one who pays the Il
tax is usually the one who actually t
uses the property or merchandise. a
He often gets no tax bill, but he e
pays just the same.

HALF TIME WORKERS

There Is one phase Of the unem-
pIoynlsht problehi (which the Amer
i Iean people have never thoroughly
grasped, and thai ls1the question Of
the vast army of workers who only
have empIoyment half the time,
more or less.
The half time workers include
/ farm laborers who work about half
the year, and lie idle most Of the
rest of the time. They include many
coal and other miners, who work
when the mines run, and loaf the
rest of the time. They include very
many road and street workers, en-
ployed for perhaps half the year,
but usually idle in winter. Many
workers in the building and other
seasonal trades come in this class.
Even If we get times considered
thoroughly prosperous, the workers
on part time jobs and their families
dependent on them, might easily
number 100000.
The present generous appropria-
tions for relief have given many of
these people better times than they
aver had before. Many of them re-
fuse part time jobs, because they
would rather depend on a steady
hand-Out of relief than take a job
that may disappear in a few months.
Perhaps you can't blame them.
1t is a tremendous drain on the
country to have to give year round
support to people because their jobs
are so irregular. II we have to sup
port 100000 people permanently
because the industries can't provide
regular work for the breadwinners
Of these families. everyone who pays |
taxes will feel it, and the people who
rent homes will pay much of these
taxes without knowing it.
The nation will somehow have to
solve this problem of finding regu-
ar work for half time workers. The
loss of their possible production has
always been one of the heaviest
oads the country has to carry.

A MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHT

A feeling of sadness comes over
the nation as the annual Memorial
day is again observed, because of the
passing of the men for whom this
occasion was first created. The boy
Of 20 years of age, who was dis
charged from the Union or Confed-
crate Army when the War between
the States ended in 1865. if still liv-
ing, is now an aged man of 80. Only
very few of such are left. They
can not be with us long. They have
set an example of valOr and good
citizenship for all these 20 years,
and those who are left are still hon.
ored and beloved.
Nearly all their comrades have

that we need today We need men
like them. Full of fearless courage.
who hold the call of public duty
above that of personal advantage.
The deplorable quarrel that caused
this terrible strife of rs years ago
is mostly forgotten now. If disputes
arise between sections and groups
OF people, they arise out of new and
different conditions. Memorial day
has become the time for hOnOring
the men who served in all our wars,
and for teaching the duty of patriot
ism to the vO%ng folks who will soon
be the governing force of the nation.
What can we 90 today to impart
to the boys and girls that same fer
vent patriotic spirit that fired the
people Of past years? How can we
induce them 10 love their country
as it has beer loved in former years?
The way to promote patriotism is
tn show the children that their cOun-
try does more for them than is done
for children anywhere else. No
where else has the government
reached out so many helping hands
to young people. As the veteran
soldiers have so often told the pupils
in the schools, the country is the
great father of US all, which gives
us chances for happiness known no.

DON'T POSTPONE IMPROVEMENTS

Some people postpone making i'm
provements in the hope they will
cost less at some future date. The
chances that these costs will be less
in any near future are not good. II
is the policy Of the government to
encourage higher prices. on the
theory that such prices make il
easier for farmers and others to pay
their debts. If prices keep up and
rise still higher. it will never be
any less expensive to paint your
building and repair defects.
Even in the very unlikely case
that prcies should ever be a little
lower. that could hardly offset the
damage done by deterioration. II
the exposed portions OF your home
decay for lack of paint. it will take
very heavy outlay to replace them,
where the paint TO protect such parts
from the weather would cost far less.
No money is saved by permitting
deterioration.

PAST AND FUTURE s0IDIFRs

PAST AND FUTURE SOLDIERS
On the National Memorial Day va
think Of the noble saorinees Of the
Soldiers who have served the nation
IN our past wars We may also well
think Of other Kinds Of soldiers who
viii be needed IN future wars.
War, in the usual sense, is relic
Of 'barbarism. 1t is so destructive
Of national life and human welfare,
that it is the greatest evil which the
modern world confronts. The hu-
man race is hardly worth surviving,
if it can not find means to get rid of
wars. o.-+
But we should do great honor to
the men who have served their coun-
try in the wars of the past. They
and their families are the chief VIC
Tins Of this terrible war custom.
Forsaking all that was dear, these
men out of loyalty to country and
desire to do their part as citizens,
marched into the jaws of death. They
must always be honored.
If the world shall at last perceive
the folly and even insanity of at
tempting to settle its disputes by
killing people and reducing itself to
poverty, it does not follow that war
will disappear.
There will still be the war against |
crime, selfishness. avarice, Incidence,
and fraud. We shall need soldiers
in such wars, and it will take hero
ism to fight those battles. It will
call for politicians who are willing
10 risk political defeat and the end
Of their public careers, in preference
10 supporting measures they know
are wrong. 1t will call for people
who risk failure, rather than be
guilty of dishonest practices or of
oppression of the poor.
1t will call for people everywhere
who have the courage to stand up
or their convictions in spite of all {
and ridicule. 1t often
axes as much courage to fight that
lind of war as to go into battle ;

HOME TOWN ENTHrSIASM

How can you fill your home town
folks with enthusiasm for the COM
munity in which you live, and make
them want to do things for it?
Logical argument showing how we
all benefit when the home town goes
ahead. will help convince reasonable
people. But there Is a kind of senti-
mental quality in the enthusiasm
which we need, which cannot be
stirred by logic alone. Hope and
faith are forces that help create en-
thusiasm. When you speak warmly
OF your home town. when you tell
of the good times you have there, of
the opportunities the home town
has given you and your family, of
the warm friends you have made
there, when you talk confidently of
its future, you help kindle that en-
thusiasm which will make people
take their coats off and do some real
work for the community.
