POOR RELIEF

The Republican party pledges itself
to take proper care of the needy, the
unemployed. needy mothers, and for
the aged and blind. 1t promises to
help those out of jobs. 1t says there
is no substitute for jobs. There were
always plenty of jobs under Repub-
lican administration. Best of all, the
Republicans promise real jobs, EN-
RLQYAiENT-zNOT- CHARITY. The
Republican party Believes the State
should look after these problems
with assistance from the communi-
ties where the good women Of the
town. the pastors Of the churches
and the business men know what
each community needs, not some fell
low from Washington who sends or
anges and grapefruit to the poor in
stead of cabbage and potatoes.

HONOR FOR THE VETERANS

On Armistice day, November II
our people rejoice in the chance to
do honor to. the veterans of the
World War. 1t is an occasion that
must forever be treasured. AS long
as these veterans live, we must tell
over again the story of what they
did in the trenches of Europe.
Did history ever see such an army
transported so far, or see it supplied
under such difficulties? It reached
the shores of Europe at the time
when our allies were largely ex-
hausted by the terrible. fighting of
nearly three years. They had con-
tended nobly against a power which
had superior military preparation.
They had seemingly lost the power
to push the invading foes OF the
soil they had conquered.
America rose up like young
giant. in the might of its just
wrath, and gave the deciding push
that sent those invaders running for
home. 1t was a great deed. The re-
suits of that war have not been all
our people hoped. But at least the
banner of America got no stain in
that conflict, and it covered itself
with imperishable glory. Il

THE BEST OF THE HOME TOWN

Do you get the bestYHich the life
OF your home town has to offer? Or
do you live outside its activity, SO
that you do not share the benefits
you might have?
The answer to that depends in
part on whether you are a constant
reader of The Milford Chronicle. If
you read the home newspaper, you
know everything that is going on in
your home town. You find out what
benefits and advantages are avail
able, and you can see what you have
to do to share these advantages. The
news columns tell of the organiza-
tons you could join which would
aid you in social life and self i'm
provement in your work and bust
ness. You learn of the educational
the city offers. Many
people miss out in life because they
have failed to find out what is going
on in the home town, which the
home newspaper tells in each issue.

UNCLE SAM is HEALTHY

United States health authorities
expect that this country will have
the lowest death rate in 1888 that
has ever been recorded. This dem
onstrates a wonderful gain in medi-
cal science. Countless children and
adults who would once have fallen
victims to the dread reaper, are now
restored to their families. and given
a new chance TO live and prosper.
Does it also mean that the people
are taking better care of them
selves? A good many people have
learned to give such care. but there
is an equal number who say they
should worry 20 about" tomorrow, il
they have a good time today. Many
are killed by automobile collisions,
but the number who lose their lives
through collisions with the laws of
health is still greater.

TO THE FARMERS

Beyond any doubt the policies Of
the New Deal are the cause of low
prices for farm products and high
prices for the consumer. The tariff
walls have been lowered to such an
extent that importation of farm
products from foreign countries
dumped on the American market is
one of the real causes Of low prices
for farm products. THE FARMER
GETS LOW PRICES FOR WHAT
HE SELLS - HE PAYS HIGH
PRICES FOR WHAT HE BUYS.
The Republican party stands square
ly on the historic principle of pre-
serving the American market for the
American farmer, and this can only
be done by proper protective tariff.
The Republican platform promises
sound. carefully prepared legisla-
ton designed 20 increase farm in
come and at the same time decrease
farm overhead. II advocates coop
erative marketing; it opposes I'M
tried experiments at the farmers
expense. II denounces orders from
Washington, as it believes that the
farmer knows what crop he is best
fitted to grow and for which his soil
is fitted. II pledges the Republican
party to enact legislation in the
state for a drainage program, similar
to that introduced at the last ses-
sion of the legislature by a Repub-
lican senator and which. after re-
ceiving the approval of both houses,
was allowed to go unsigned by Dem
ocratic Governor Mr.. McMullen.

REWARDS FOR THE GARDNER

If the gardner has stuck to his
job. if he has hoed the beans when
he really wanted to play golf. IL he
has pulled out the weeds when he
had hankering to go for swim.
he probably has some products about
now that make him feel good.
He has got quite as good exercise
as il he had spent the summer chas-
ing the little white pill around the
pasture. or lifting the little wooIly
ball over the net. His nice vege-
tables tempt him to eat more garden
products than ever. which is said
to put health into ones insides. Man
is said to need contact with the soil.
and he draws strength from the earth
when he is not too indolent to work
OH It.

PENSIONS

The Republicans, who were the
first to install old age pensions in
Delaware long before a nation even
considered it, believes that every
one should have a pension when he
or she reaches a certain age. In the
language of the platform, they
PROMISE ito make all aged persons
above a given age. eligible for bene-
fits hereunder, to the end that ALL
AGED PERSONS may be secure in
the knowledge that they will be
provided with the necessities of life"
THAT is A PROMISE.

ELECTION DAY

Tuesday, November 8, is election
day over almost all the United
States. 1t is the opportunity Of the
people to prove that democracy is
not a failure. In some of the great
est countries of the world it is said
that democracy has broken down
that it does not work, that the peo-
pie do not use intelligence in elect
ing their rulers and officers, that
the legislative bodies chosen in
democratic. nations spend their time
in useless wrangling, SO that they
do not produce the results the people
need.
So they say it is necessary for a
modern people, if they wish to OBJ
tain progress and satisfy their wants
and aspirations, to yield their power
to some leader or group of leaders,
who will produce unity among the
population, and get the things done
promptly which need to be done.
The American people do not be-
lieve in that idea. Still they know
that many things go wrong in the
United States, because so many citi-
zens fail to attend to their political
duties, or do not vote intelligently.
Or in many cases people just con-
slider their own selfish interests, or
he need of their own locality or dis
.rict, when they can't prosper I'M
ess they look out for the welfare
If the whole country.
So the American people have
heir opportunity on November s to
20 to the polls and show that these
against the democratic
ystem are not we'll taken. If the
,eople elect officers who have an in
view of government and
BUSINESS, and who seek to promote
he general welfare and human pro-
.ress, it is a demonstration that
democracy does work and that it is
lot failure. But if great portion
f them refuse to go to the polls. or
ont act intelligently when they get
here, how can we be sure that our
ountry will not get sick of the
emocratic institutions which we
nee thought were our most glorious
possession?

THE CAMPAIGN IN Delaware i

THE CAMPAIGN IN Delaware is
nearing a close. Within another
forty-eight hours the political SPELL
binders will have completed their
work. The aims and purposes of all
candidates will have been put before
the voters-and the verdict will be
made known on Tuesday next. The
battle between the Republican and
Democratic parties has been hard
fought; and in not every instance
have the blows been directed fairly
and in a craftsmanship manner.
The Republican candidates without
exception have conducted their cam
paign on a high plane. They have
refrained from any slanderous at
tacks upon their opponents. They
have been explicit in their pledges
that they stand squarely behind the
platform adopted by the Republican
State Convention. They demand
sane management of State and Coun-
ty government. They urge more fav-
orable consideration for all teachers
in our public schools. They favor
the placing of and continuance of
world war veterans in public office
where such appointments may be
made without iniuring the admins
tration of such office. They pledge
a reduction of taxes and the elimina-
ton of nuisance fees wherever pos
sible. They sponsor the adjustment
of dog taxes, the reduction to at least
half on automobile license fees and
operators licenses. They condemn
the wasteful practice of employing
men and women in State offices in
order that political debts may be
paid. They promise an honest effort |
to reduce the expenditures of States
monies, and a return to sane State
government, with men and women
occupying jobs who are competent
o'AlFFAem" Thissnin' shorts 'issslreir
pledge. Their plea has been made.
Delaware voters will do well to place
them in office.

THE DELAWARE FLOWER
THE PEACH BLOSSOM
By Sadie Moore Cooke

By Sadie Moore Cooke.
The Peach blossom should be Della
wares flower.
Twas given to her as her bridal
dover,
When the ocean spray met the river
mist
And the air was fresh and the land
sun-kist.
The Peach blossom should be Della
wares flower.
Her highways cut through a peach
blossom bower:
Orchards of petals made lovely foil
For the fringed pine of Delaware soil.
The Peach blossom should be Della
wares flower.
Sweet gift to this state of sunshine
and shower.
'Tis mist of the river, spray of the
sea,
Mingled together in pure ecstacy.

THE DELAWARE Electorate

THE DELAWARE Electorate will
march to the polls next Tuesday to
elect State and County officers, as
well as Representative in Congress.
The campaign is about over, and sea-
soned political observers believe that
they see a definite trend to the Re-
publican party in all sections of the
State. AS this is written, it is our
Judgment that the entire Republican
State ticket will be elected by a
large majority. Present indications
are. that the Republicans will send
a majority to the House of Represen-
tatives. In the battle for control of
the State Senate a close result is
forecast. We believe. however, that
here again the G. o. P. will emerge
victorious, and that a definite check
on the present Democratic admins
tration will be had. In the battle
for County control, our Judgment is
that Sussex County Republican can
didates viii be elected. New Castle
County will do likewise. In Demo-
cratic Kent County, the Democratic
lead will be cut down, and at least
two Republican candidates for county
office may be elected.

Tuesday is election day, an i'm
portant one to every citizen of
Delaware and to every taxpayer. not

time you buy an automobile, new
tire, some gasoline, oil. suit Of

most every time you turn around
you slip a penny or two TO the tax
collector. II may not seem so high

STRICTLY POLITICAL
FOR EVERY ONE

The Republican platform promises
reduction or repeal of the obnoxious
dog license law. II promises a re-
duction in automobile license fees
It means that If Republican Legis-
lature is elected In Delaware this
year, that the dog license fee on ev-
cry dog you have on your farm or in
your house will not be either licensed
or entrapped. 1t means that instead
of paying S12 year for your small
car license, you will only pay Sc.

ises mean. VOTE FOR A REPUB-

WORKING OFF THE GROUCHEs

Men who work of their grouches
at the "Y" make better husbands,
says the general secretary OF the
Greater Cleveland Young Mems
Christian Association.
Both men and women need a
chance to work of grouches. The
frictions and the frettings of daily
life generate steam, which explodes
in countless homes because of lack
of any safety valve. The club or So
ciety or athletic sport in which you
take part takes up your attention
so the steam escapes without your
knowing it. It is better to let
steam escape than try to bottle it up.

Penal Institution pier from there to
the Anacostia River north of the
Navy Yard was made last night by

Robert Hall, Zoning Committee

commercial area of the Anacostia

HINTON, w. Va, Dec. 16.-A
childish story of murderous robbers
who slew a defenseless lad faded
into nothingness yesterday after
police announced the truth was
that 5-year-old Artie Ayers died
from the accidental discharge of a
shotgun.
For three hours, Prosecutor
. Thomas L. Read said, Darrell Ayers,
13, and his sister Catherine, IL,
maintained the story that thieves
shot down their little brother.
Then they admitted Artie was
killed while they were playing with
a shotgun, that they carried his
body to smokehouse and returned
to clear away bloodstains from the
floors of their home.
State Trooper c. H. Webb. said
Darrell admitted he was holding the
gun when it discharged, but said
charges probably will not be filed.
