LOYAL TOWN SPIRIT

In schools and colleges, the stu
dents are taught to show a loyal
spirit toward the institution which
they are attending. They are ex-
pected to make sacrifices for the
benefit of that institution. If a fell
low was star ball player and re-
fused to play on his school team
when he could well do SO. his fellow
students would have little use for
him.
We need more of that spirit in
cities and towns. Peoples affection
for the home town should be as
strong as that of the student for his
school. Schools accomplish a great
deal in competition with others,
when this loyal spirit prevails. The
bunch of youngsters who are all
roofing and struggling for a com
mon end become winners. Cities and
towns could go ahead and be win
ners also, if they would show a like
oyal feeling.
Milford chronicle., 1936-08-14
DROUGHT SUFFERERS

What should be done about moving
out of the arid regions the people
who have been ruined by repeated
droughts. and who are now again in
distress since the sun has burned
out their crops with it's fierce rays?
The family that has no money and
no food and whose domestic animals
are crying for water and nOurish-
ment, must somehow be rescued.
Perhaps the majority of these
families are not keen to be trans
planted anywhere else. as they would
have to take on heavier burdens of
debt by so doing. Many such folks
who still have courage, may be able
to go it on their own.
Perhaps many of them got into
difficulty as the result of poorly
planned farming. The man who
staked all his hopes on one crop.
and had no garden or other resources
to which he could look for aid in a
dry year, or no means of obtaining
water, should reconsider his situa-
tion. and see if a different scheme |
would not cure his troubles.

LINDBERGH'S WARNING

Col Charles A. Lindbergh has been
visiting Germany. and he spoke to a
gathering of Nazi party officials, on
the danger that aviation, which was
&C Cnceived as great blessing to man
kind, should be turned into a curse.
lie said the aviators had lived to see
their harmless wings of fabric con-
verted into carriers of destruction.
The wonderful men who created
aviation supposed when they invent
ed these marvellous machines, that
Il ey were comforting some great
lcneft on the world. They supposed
these flying wings would bind the
nations more closely together. They
Lave had that effect to a large extent
Fut they also create new war threat
far worse than any old one.
1t is commonly said the next war
VII be fought in the air. The ma
tons of Europe have awful dreams
of 1ieets of airplanes dropping high
explosives and gas bombs over their
cities. Some think these deadly
gasses might wipe out the entire pop
ulations o; cities. Plans are being
formulated to equip these peoples
W;th gas masks.
Does this peril touch the United
States? The oceans are a wonderful
protection. 1t will be some PROPOSE |
ton for feet of hostile planes to |
cross those great seas, and drop
bombs on our cities. Still. the planes
are flying faster and farther every
year. Our cities may be exposed to
such air attack, if our country ever
goes to war.
1t seems most strange state of
things that in these advanced coun-
tries. which claim to be swayed by
Christian and humanitarian ideals.
j. should be considered possible that
such fiendish deeds could be com
nitted. Will the world never wake
up to see the folly and wickedness
OF thus turning the airpIane, which
should be a messenger of good will.
into one of hatred and destruction !,

THIS MlLFOBD NAN WANTS
SHORT FOR GOVERNOR
(ConmunIeatedl

Communicated
Milford, Delaware
August -, 1886
To the Editor of the
Milford Chronicle:
/ like my politics straight.
l would like L d. Short to declare
his intention to run for the nominal
tion for Governor.
Hundreds of Milford people and
thousands In the state would be
glad to support him. a.
He is the type of man who does
things.
He fits in nicely with the needs Of
the day.
He knows Delaware and loves it
and will work hard and long for its
development. f
He understands and is sympa-
thetic with the problems Of the far
mer. He can and he will help them.
He has demonstrated The fact that
he has a good understanding Of bus
mess, big and small-he is success
full in a highly competitive line.
He despises a l0afer.
He is an outstanding example Of
a man full of good horse sense.
If some of the folks who are won
dering about Dol Short could sit
with him in committee work or on
Boards of Directors. note how he
cuts out needless conversation and
lip stuff, and how quickly he gets
down to the meat of things, they

GOOD CITIZENS

Formerly a good citizen was sup
posed to be person who paid his
debts, worked at his job, and minded
his own business. These traits do
not quite fill out the things which
the modern community expects of a
good citizen.
The good citizen should be good
worker. and one who fulfills his obli-
cations so far as he can. Hut he
should also be keenly interested in
the progress Of his home town. He
should be willing to join and be ac-
tive in organizations that promote
the welfare of that community, he
should back up home town enter
prises, and he should maintain his
home in such condition that it will
be a credit to the community. We
all take off our hats to those folks,
and there are lots of them in Mil
ford.

THE NEWS OF BUSINESS

Newspapers win support because
they tell the public what is going
on and what has happened. A news
paper that does not report the news
has few readers. Similarly bust
ness needs to report its news in Or
der to win attention. There are
things happening constantly in every
business house, which the public is
keen to know about. The concern
that reports these items of busi-
ness news gets the best of the pa
tronage.
When a concern has lot of goods
which it is willing to sell at a low
price that is mighty interesting
news. and the public is keen to know
about it. People won't know about
il unless those goods are advertised.
When they are informed in the news
paper that such values are being Of
fered, they say it is good news. and
people come to see them and re-
main to buy.
Milford chronicle., 1936-08-14
EASILY UNDERSTOOD

Governor LandOn's address of &C
ceptance is really a remarkable
speech because it is so different
from a great majority of public ad-
dresses. It is so plain in its state
ments that no person Of ordinary
intelligence can have any difficulty
in understanding just what it means.
It has in it from start to finish no
word of abuse and not a single SEN
tence of self-glorification. II is the
speech of a plain man with high
ideals tempered with practical ex-
perience which has taught him that
pots of gold are not found at the
ends of beautiful rainbOws, and that
the permanence of our government
must depend on the honesty, integ-
rity. industry and loyalty of it's citi-
zens. who are also it's sovereigns.-

He Is not particularly interested in
political manipulation, nor has he
that fexibilily Of conscience enjoyed
BY others, which allow them to
promise all things 10 all men He
believes IN keeping his word. He
tempers bis own self-confdence with
belief IN the ability Of other men.
There Is IN Governor Isandon q drfv-
ing force Of character that has car
ried him from a humble worker in
the oil fields to the leadership Of a
great party: a strength Of will that
held him. In the emergency in 1892
when he first took Office as governor
OF Kansas, to the pledges he made
as candidate for governor; and a
high courage that could hold the
honor Of a nomination for the pres
idency Of less importance than his
own honest convictions and beliefs.
But with these qualities are mingled
q sense Of proportion and q true
sense of humor, that sees In every
incident of life the relatives values
of the truth an dof the half-truth,
that hOnors the efforts Of those who
came before him and considers his
obligations of those who will come
after"

Milford, Friday, August IA, 1896

THE WORLD GOT a warning o.
what may be expected if revolutions
occur, when the radical government
of Spain ordered the confiscation Oi
all buildings belonging to religious
orders and the Catholic church, and
also ordered municipal authorities
take over all institutions of learn
ing.
About $50 years ago there was a
world movement for freedom of
thought and of the press. and for re-
ligiOus freedom. The American Re-
volution started that movement 60
ing. The American patriots set up
the doctrine that every man was
to be free to choose his own desti-
nies. free to worship as he wished
to, free to bring up his children as
h, wanted to, free to choose his own
government. The idea spread. The
French Revolution swept away old
aristocratic powers, and the major
it; of European countries became
democratic.
Now we see the ebb of that great
tide. Revolutionary parties and die
tGtOrs seize governments. To make
Il cir control complete. they must
also rule the churches, the newspa-
Ters, the schools and colleges. They |
can't have these centers of leader |
clip making adverse criticisms.
All which is revolving to every
pitriotic American. He is shocked |
Nv the thought that political leaders
should dictate whether he can go to
church or not, what kind of church
Pc can go to, how he shall educate
his children. or whether he shall be
PllOwed to tell what he thinks thru
newspapers.
So far as can now be seen. moth
ing of the kind will ever be tolerated
j. the United States. Any govern
ment that attempted such drastic
rule over the consciences, opinions,
and education of its people would
soon be thrown out of Washington
and every state capital.

(Chicag6 rfibunel


Thanks to Mr.. RooseFelts fathers
acquisitiVeness and understanding Of
finance, he was able TO accumulate
a fortune for his son. That son, now
our President, has just given fresh
evidence Of financial irresponsible
ity by announcing that the Passa-
maquoddy venture in Maine will be
completed at cost OF 40 million
dollars The army engineers told the
President that Quoddy is a mon
stIosity. Mr.. Ickes as public works
administration and the federal pow
er commission as surveyors and IL
censefs Of power projects recon-
mended avoidance of II. Congress.
which approved of anything that the
President asked for, refused at the
last session TO authorize funds for
Quoddy.
The President has announced that
he will complete the 40 million dol
lar absurdity. the expressed will Of |
Congress, the army engineers re-
port and the Ickes and power COM
mission report to the contrary not
withstanding. That he is continu-
ing the project after experts have
said that it is a waste of money is
evidence Of his determination to
waste as much money as possible.
The fact that he announces he will
complete the project after Congress
has voted against it shows that Mr..
believes himself to be a
iictator.

TO BRIBE VOTERS WITW DOLES

4spokane Spokesman Fesiewl E
President Roosevelt has .annOunc-
ed that he will tour the drought
area, taking with him Federal Relief
Administrator Hopkins and Uncer-
secretary of Agriculture Tugwell. Il
is a shocking bid for ballots, on the
theory that voters should repay the
president, Hopkins and Tugwell for
doles from the national treasury. It
is an issue of the American spirit
and state and community pride,
against the dole and the hand-Out
from the national capital.
If these gentlemen of the new deal
we're handing out their private for
tunes. and not seeking public Office,
that would be magnificent; but they
are playing cheap roles Of Lords
Bountiful with public billions, and
drawing fat salaries to dole out bor-
rowed billions, that are mortgage
on every home and farm in America.
