public mind is whether Mr.. Roose.
velt contemplates any substitute foI
NRA which was held unconstitution-
al by unanimous vote Of the Supreme
Court.
Another legislative topic believed
certain to come before Congress this
winter is crop insurance to protect
farmers against hazards Of an err
I ratio Mother Nature. Both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Ian
don backed such action.
A substitute for the Guffey Act
to regulate the soft coal industry
also is believed certain to be ad-
vanced on Capitol Hill. The Supreme
Court invalidated the original act on
the ground that it violated states
rights.
Tax Revision Discussed
Other possible problems include
tax revision and amendment Of the
Social Security Act.

NOVEMBER IL

Armistice Day brings more vivid
memories than other holidays. July
Fourth simply refers to a grand
historical fact, far back in the an
cient history of the nation. 1t is Of
ten hard to make it seem real and
vivid. The majority of our people
have a very clear memory of Novem-
1ber II, 1918, and of the surging and
tumultuous emotions that reached
their climax at that historic date.
Fear and anxiety had arisen to
swelling tide in the hearts of the
people of Delaware and everywhere
else. Millions of families picked up
their newspapers with horror. dread
ing bad news. They feared to see
the mail or telegraph messenger
coming, dreading lest some sad an
nouncement was coming. The fami-
lies of the boys in the camps awaited
with tense anxiety the day when
they should be sent to the front.
The families that had no sons in
the army had plenty of things to
fear. 1t national defeat came, they
knew not what disasters might
threaten their own security.
Into this atmosphere, trembling
with anxiety, came the peal Of the
bells on Armistice day, with the joy
full word that all that horror was at
al end. Never before and never
since has there been such an exul-
tant day in the life of the nation.
Never before were such enthusiastic
Never before did the
heart of the nation so respond to the
removal of anxiety and despair.
The events that have occurred in
the IS years since that date seem
an anti-climax. Things have not
gone as the nation expected. Many
hopes have been disappointed. But
the same power and force that led
the nation on to victory in 1918, are
still with us. They can lead us on
Ia greater victories of peace and hu-
man welfare, if properly organized
and directed.

STUDENT HITCHHIKING

The Keystone Automobile Club
says that student hitchhiking is be-
coming a serious problem. Students
take chances of injury and lose dig
nifty, it is said, when they ask for
rides.
A student in a good school should
behave in a way creditable to that
school. In many states and cities
thumbing rides is illegal, and in such
places the student hitchhiker viO-
lates his school principles. Young
people would better depend on their
own leg muscles and ability to pay
fare. If they think they can get
things without paying for them,
they acquire an idea that will coun-
teract many good school lessons.

THE FIRRSIDE BLAZE

When the autumn months come,
the fire on the open hearth cheers
millions of families through the
crisp and cool evenings. In former
times the family used to spend many
hours in front Of the dancing flames.
People had heart to heart talks be-
fore the fireside, and discussed
everything from cooking pumpkin
pie to the tariff and foreign rela-
tions.
The fire on the hearth stirs cur
rents of memory of former days and
old faces one used to see. It is said
that people do not stay at home as
they used to, that they want to be
on the go all the time. When you
build a fireplace into a house and
start a fire there frequently, it makes
home seem sweeter and the evening
at home more delightful.

Milford, Friday, November 6, 1885

ON JANUARY 18th next, the DEM
ocratic party will take over the man
agement of administrative affairs at
Dover. 1t will be the first time that
a Democratic Governor has occu-
pied the executive offices in forty
years. Fortunately for the citizens
of the State, the Governor-elect,
Richard C. McNIullen is a man of un-
questionable honesty of purpose, a
successful business executive and a
man who should give Delaware an
administration lacking of ruthless
partisanship. When he assumes Of
flee next January he will find State
departments we'll manned with ex-
perienced persons many of whom
have served the State well and faith
fully for several years. 1t is to be
hoped that the most efficient at least
will be allowed to continue their ex-
cellent service to the State. The
Chronicle supported with all its
power the unsuccessful Republican
candidate. We did this with the be-
lief that Mr.. Cannon was qualified
to handle the job and do a good work
if elected. At no time did we ques-
ton the fitness of the new Cover
nor-elect. In matters affecting the
welfare of Delaware we shall give
the new Democratic administration
wholehearted support so long as we
believe that actions taken and meth
ods pursued by them are to the pub
lie good. Should rank partisanship
be used to the detriment of the pub
lie interest we shall voice our dis
approval without fear or favor. 1t
is our wish that Governor-elect Nc
Mullen when he assumes office shall
have a successful administration
and that this paper may be able to
approve of his public actions.

MARRIED COUPLES

The pastor of the Drexel Park
Presbyterian Church of Chicago
conducts an annual QUESTIONABLE
for married people, in which he
seeks to learn the causes that make
for happy or unhappy marriages. In
this years answers, jealousy, nag
ging, and bad temper were listed
as the great sources of martial un-
happiness.
If the husband or wife shows too
much interest in somebody else, a
row about it won't probably accom-
plish anything. The husband or wife
should make himself or herself more
interesting and agreeable. SO that
the outside competition won't be so
effective. AS for bad tempered folks,
they should either refuse to marry,
or else put themselves Into the dog
house until they are able to smile
again.

GOOD NEIGHBORS

Every neighborhood should regard
itself as a kind Of family, in which
each resident considers the interest
of his neighborhood, and not solely
his own pleasure. If one family
persists in neglecting their home
place, they are not the only ones
who suffer. An injury is done to the
whole neighborhood.
That slaternly looking spot is a
blot on the whole street. The ex-
ample of disorder is contagious.
Many people are lazy, and say that
if some neighbor lets everything go,
they can do the same. If neighbor-
hood gets that spirit, it is a good one
to move out Of.

WHAT GOOD WILL COULD DO

An expert on industrial produc-
ton said in one Of his addresses
that the lack of good will between
employers and employees causes a
loss of 25 per cent in the industrial
production of the country. He would
argue that if bosses and workers
would all cooperate heartily, the in
dustries could make up that 25 per
cent loss, and produce more welfare
for everybody.
In the manufacturing establish
ment Of early days, the employer
knew his men by their first names,
and much of the time worked at the
bench with them. There was plenty
of good will. They had no machin-
cry in those days, but anybody who
was any good worked with his whole
heart. That is probably one reason
why goods sold cheap, and why peo-
pie were generally well fed and
work was regular.
The labors of industry have grown
into great units, where employers
and employees are separated by deep
chasms, or at least it usually seems
so.
Frequently the employers are
merely stockholders, scattered all
over the country, the majority of
whom never saw the plant from
which their dividens come. They
appoint managers whose business is
to produce profits. The managers
job is in danger if the dividend is
cut. How are you going to produce
I'd will, with capital and labor so
widely separated?
If either party to such a relation
takes an offish or contrary attitude,
efforts for good will usually fail. The
of corporations where
good will is lacking, migth try the
effect of kind words and acts in pro-
ducing a better feeling. The workers
might try the effect of a sincere ef-
fort to make the business profitable.
When one side makes moves toward
good will, the other usually responds

An ARMISTICE DAY THOUGHT

It has often been said that the ma
tions allied against Germany in 1918
"won the war, but lost the peace" 4"
They had the men and the money to
conquer the foe in battle. But when
it came to lifting up the stricken
world from the destruction in which
it lay PROSTATE, they lacked the in
telligence and the good will to do it.
1t will never be possible to give
too high praise to the work of the
American soldiers in the World War.
Their heroism and vigorous man
hood surprised the world. 1t was
supposed that our boys had been en-
feebled by the satisfactions of pros
perity, and had lost the old power
that tanned our continent. Their
achievement proved that the old
force still existed.
When the boys came home from
the fighting, a change had come over
the temper of the nation. People
were weary and exhausted. They
were tired of making sacrifices for
the public good. They wanted to
make money, see high life, enjoy
themselves to the limit. The disas-
ters that followed can be traced to
this ignoble spirit.
Today the country is on the up
grade, but it could learn from its
World War experience. The Ameri-
can people accomplished wonders
during that conflict, because they
submerged their private and per-
sonal issues, in the attempt to win
the war.
Now if people were as ready to do
their part to make the country a
good one for everybody to live in,
if they would cooperate heartily
with the good causes that need help,
we should go on to greater welfare
and progress than we ever saw be-
fore. Armistice day, 1918, proclaim
ed the triumph of great national
effort. We might have days of equal
joy here in Delaware, if our people
would unite with equal heartiness
to promote human welfare and ma
tional progress.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
GREAT MAJORITY
In NEW CONGRESS
Assured Of AZ Senate Seats; 327 in
House Sets New Record
Numerical Strength Critics Believe
Does Not Indicate Smooth Run
ming Machine.

A massive Democratic majority re-
ceived marching orders Wednesday
to assemble in the new Congress two
months from Thursday to pass on
Roosevelt legislative proposals.
Late compilations yof election re-
turns showed that when President
Roosevelt next addresses a joint
session of the Senate and House,
probably in January, he will look
into the eyes of perhaps the largest
number of Democrats ever to sit on
Capitol Hill at one time.
Such a topheavy majority was in
| dicated that a new assignment of
seats was inevitable. Even before
the election the Democrats occupied
a large share of the normally Repub-
lican space in both chambers.
But such numerical strength does
not necessarily mean a smooth
working legislative machine. Some
Democratic spokesmen have ex-
pressed the belief that the party
leaders would have difficulty keep
ing such a majority in line.
Assured of 72 Senate Seats
Democrats were definitely assured
today of 20 Senate seats and were
learing in four other contests. Re
publicans were certain of IL MEM
bers with the reelection of Senator
McNary of Oregon, the party leader.
A majority is 49.
In the House, Democrats had
elected at least 327 new members.
constituting a new record, compared
with SO for the Republicans. Total
membership is 435 and a majority is
21S.
Last session the Democrats had
79 senators compared with % Re
publicans. In the House they had
30S members against 100 Republi
cans.
In the next Congress they will sup
plant at least five Senate Republi-
cans. The Democrats lost in Massa-
chusetts, however, to Henry Cabot
Lodge, Jr., grandson of the celebrat-
ed historian and senatorial foe of the
League of Nations. Lodge trOunced
former Governor James NJ. Curley,
who aspired to succeed the retiring
Democrat, Marcus Coolidge. Demo-
Gratis won at least % Republican
House seats but lost at least 10 now |
occupied by members of their party.
Presidents Course In Doubt
There was considerable specula-
tiOn in between scrutiny of election |
returns as to what President Roose-
welt will propose to the new Con-
gress. His reply to Governor ALT M.
Landon's demand that he make
public his program was this:
"Of course, we will continue to
seek to improve working conditions
for the workers of America-tO re-
duce hours overlong, to increase
wages that spell starvation, to end
labor Of children, to wipe out sweat
shops.
"0f course, we will continue every
effort to end monopoly in business,
to support collective bargaining. to
stop unfair competition, to abolish
trade practices. For all
these we have only just begun to
fight" II

sides, in view of this militant pro-
