THE NEW OFFICERS

How many officers of cOmmunit!
organizations in this country will he
elected and Installed during this
month of January?
No one can answer that question
but it will run far up in the hun
dreds of thousands. The American
people are the greatest liners" on
earth. They are always joining some
thing. The average citizen probably
belongs to at least five Organiza-
tions. The idea has penetrated deep
" into the American mind. that
people can advance their interests
by uniting in societies. clubs. and
associations of many kinds. The
idea is good, ard nearly all these
organizations are helpful.
The main difficulty is that it is
much easier to iuduce the people TO
sign constitutions and bylaws. than
to get them TO attend the meetings,
pay dues, and do any work. Count
less associations are formed which
start with a whoop at some big Gin
ner. They are going to accomplish
wonders, create new advantages.
and rapid progress. But after the
enthusiasm of the dining, and some
times wininS. has past, the thing
ortens flats out. II takes constant
effort to make any kind of move
ment go.
To make these organizations ef-
fective. there must he active officers
and committees, and many meetings
must he held. But II is rowarding
work. People make friends, and ac-
ouire experience in leadership.
The average citizen feels justi-
fable pride when his ncighhors and
friends pick on him t. become an
officer or worker in some good 0i-
Il shows they believe in
his ability to do things. So when
anybody is elected to serve any kind

should take off his coat, roll up his
sleeves, and try to do the jon bet

form of government centralized in
Washington has been irrepariably
wrecked and wiped from the laws of
the land This shock to President
Roosevelt and his new deal follow
ers came in the form of a 6 to 3 de-
cisiOn which invalidated the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act, better
known as the AAA. Following the
invalidatiOn of the now almost for
gotten MIRA by about six months.
the action of the Supreme Court aug
ers poorly for the several alpha
betically named groups which have
been fought by American citizens
and which are now before it for final
disposition.
The majority opinion of the Court
leaves not the slightest doubt as to
the illegality of the Farm Act The
Court held i'm effect that no matter
had the AAA been a voluntary ac-
tiOn on the part of the farmers af-
fected, the act would still have been
invalid-COngress has not the power
to regulate the production of COM

ruled the Court. As interpreted by
the majority of the Court general |

Of tax funds for any particular group.
The clause means what il implies,
taxing and spending for general, not
special, welfare.
With the farm program of the ad-
ministration in chaos, the leaders in
Washington seem at loss as to
where to turn or to have a plan for
the salvaging of even small pOr-

was far reaching and it has again
warned Congress and the President
that they must remain within con-

legislation which affects the rights

SPEAKING THROUGH it's edl-
torial columns, the Journal-Every
Evening, of wilmington, few days
aeo referred to "The Campaign in
Delaware" In this editorial the
wilmington newspaper called atten-
tion to the Importance of this years
campaign to Delaware-bOth from
the national and the State angle. 1t
smoke of the conventions for the
election of delegates to the national
conventions; and also of the inn
uortant State conventions to be held
by each political party at which can
didates for the several State offices
will be nominated. Warming the
peOple of Delaware of the import
ance of the State campaign the
JournaI-Every Evening said in part'
"The people of Delaware ought
not to permit the national campaign
TO dim the Importance of the job
here at home. The next state ad-
ministration will have an arduous
task. The lean years have had their
effect upon the states financial pro-
gram. It is not improbable that this
program will have to be changed.
Many things may have to be done
to cope with newly-develOped CON
dltiOns.
because of this circumstance, we
reiterate, with emphasis, what we
said once before. that it is incumbent
upon each party to use the utmost
care in the selection of its candi-
dates for governor and members OF
the Legislature, as well as for the
other offices to be filed"
This warning is pertinent. II is
important that voters of all pOliti-
cal affiliation should consider well
when naming their candidates for
the several offices. We folks here
in Milford viii offer to the Republi-
can convention the name of man
for the Republican nomination for
Governor who is capable, who has
large business administrative ex-
perience, a thorough knowledge of
banking, and the needs of the rural
districts. who knows the problems
the administrative
branch of the State government, and
who will be elected when nominated.
That man is former Senator /. Dol |

THE
EDITORIAL

The annual inception OF new year
is the traditional period of the allotted
twelve months in which the average
person makes sundry and lofty aspira-
tons towards a comparative perfection
the prime events of the preceding
seasons and usually acknowledges his
own shortcomings in the picture which
may have contributed to mar possible
beauty within the recollection
Terrifying whistles, 22-calibre rifles,
and human sirens Guido themselves in
announcing the termination of disap-
pointing year and proclaiming the ar
rival Of new calendar.
Everyone is shrieking a monotonous
phrase. Of three familiar words and con-
fidently expecting a supernatural REV.
olution of prosperity and happiness by
the mere movement of minute hand
This person and that individual vow
to do this and that and refrain from
the other thing. An elevating mood and
resolve is upon every one For a few
days the world could pass for an in
veritable Paradise; but on the fifth
morning, the strain grows surprisingly
burdensome and the atmospere has
lost an indefinable and magical power
to canonize wicked sinners. In short,
we resume our natural behaiour and
become merely human once more.
How utterly refreshing it is to de-
nounce the high-minded pledges made
in hilarious and hopeful mood. 1t is
so gloriously comfortable to forget the
role of an agnel and become just plain
you and me again. However. tradi-
ton clings like the proverbial leech. and
we lack the will to prevent ourselves
from hoping with pitiful optimism that
1886 may usher into our lives greater
opportunities and happiness than here
tofore But if we take an inventory Of
our mental attitudes, we will realize
that there will, undoubtedly be nothing
breathtaking in the new year simply
because it is new year. Days will
follow each other as before and there
| will be small cause to expect spec
tacular innovation of life merely
because we have discarded the old
calendar on our desks.
