whether things cannot be done to
avert this possibility. Many of them
cannot see why our sons have to go
20 war to settle the quarrels of Eu-
rope. They ask whether Europe
should not be able to settle its own
affairs. and harmonize its own quar-
rels and not look TO the United
States for aid
The anxiety which such parents
feel is wholly natural and merits
warm sympathy. If war came, they
would have to take far more than
:heir share of the burden. 1t is not
easy to sacrifice ones own boys to a
patriotic cause. They can be fairly
sure that never again is the United
States likely to send an army to
Europe. or at least to force men to
enter such service. The great ma
jority of our people seem disposed
20 keep out of the wars of Europe,
and we don't seem to get anywhere
by taking part in them.

Appointed For One Month

The reappointment of Zack Wells
as motor vehicle commissioner for
the month Of April was a decent ges-
ture on the part Of the Republicans.
He was in charge and it was only
right for him to continue until the
Republicans take charge in May. A
competent successor will be appoint
ed after the may meeting of the
newly y-organized State Highway
Commission.

Fractional Control

E Delaware Democrats. knowing full
we'll that their day is done in Della
ware as a party and that with the
loss of the Legislature. goes the loss
of their governor in 1910, are right
now more interested in their petty
inter-party quarrels than anything
else. They are interested in the re-
organization of the state committee
and the battle to see which of the
several factions will control the state
organization. What does IL all
amount to any way? Who wants to
be the captain of water-logged boat
grounded on the mud-fiats of ineffi-
cheney?

TaXDayers Win

Delaware citizens will pay lower
automobile licenses. lower driver IL
censes, and less taxes, following the
meeting Of the Republican-controlled
Legislature. Road funds will be
properly spent, politicians will be
thrown out Of the jobs TO which they
were elevated in 1887. and hard
working. loyal experts will be placed
back in the positions they filled so
well. Delaware taxpayers have made
great gains and are now sitting In a
position where they will be making
greater gains in decency and proper
use OF state departments in 1910
when they will put the Republicans
in full power again.

THE BOYS AND WAR

The constant talk Of the possibility
of war arouses alarm in the minds OF
many parents. 1t is believed by q
large part of our people, that If war
comes in Europe. the United States
will be involved. Many families are
asking if again the boys and young
rnen of the land will have to hear
the dread roll of the war drums. and
again be summoned by the call of the
nation to take up deadly weapons and
defend their country.
The people who have sons of mil
itary age realize very clearly what
war means. They know the suffer-
ing of the parents whose boys were
engaged in the battles in France in
the World war. They know how
many of them will never recover
from the shock of the dreadful news
when it appeared that those boys
had sacrificed their lives. or were
coming home permanently MANNED
from the awful experience.
Many such parents are asking

No Candidates

1t is understood that il is almost
impossible to get any real Democrats
to announce candidacy for mayor
Of Wilmington. After the manner in
which the Democratic members of
the Legislature acted in Dover with
the final refusal of the Democratic
governor to allow the people of Will
mington to vote whether they should
have moving pictures on Sunday af-
ternoOns or evenings, it would be a
daring man who would attempt to be
elected mayor of Wilmington on the
Democratic ticket.

TOURING THE NATIONAL PARKS

Over 100000 people toured
through the national parks of tho
United States last year. The majes-
tic scenery of these mighty noun
tains, the loveliness of these ver-
dant forests, the music of these
tumbling waterfalls, tell us of the
majesty of Nature and the power of
the Creator. One recalls the words
of the sacred Psalmist. who said;
Before the mountains were brought
forth,
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth
and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlast-
ing, thou art God"
It is a pleasure to see the people
enjoying these parks. Whether they
live in the most finished comfort in
some superb hotel. or cook simple
meals over a camp fire and sleep in
tent, they are happy amid the in
spirations of Nature. and they revel
in grand pictures of beauty.

OLD-FASHIONED CONFIDENCE
| agree with the chairman of West
inghouse Electric Company when he
! said: "The extent of dissatisfaction
with our times surpasses anything
known to history. Everywhere we
see the phenomenon of free Ameri-
cans trading their individual inde-
pendence for what they fancy is col
lective security. Millions out of
work. other millions who feel they
will soon be walking the streets,
have been fed on all sorts of false
doctrines. We find large sums being
spent TO bring more land under culti-
vation. while the government is re-
stricting agricultural products. We
are told one minute there will be no
increase in taxes, the next they are
increasing, or that the budget is
about to be balanced. the next minute
it is further out of balance. Life must
be made more bearable for our citi-
zens. We must devise ways and
means in which the Old-fashioned
confidence is restored to the human
heart"

the whole burden on the courts.
In the name of politics and part of
crusade to make political capital,
he had refused the people of Will
mington the right of referendum, not
withstanding the many referendums
that have been held by every small
town to build schools. to erect water
plants. to install sewers and even the
right to cut down trees to build
streets. The governor, a law unto
himself, declares that all such refer
endums are unconstitutional. The
burden of his acts are ON himself and

the Democrats can escape the respon-

DEBT. TAXES. UNEMPLOYMENT

DEBT, TAXES. UNEMPLOYMENT
This is a time of paradoxes. Hon
est advice from practical business
men who have proven their know
ledge and worth is spurned by the
president in favor of a group who
never earned a practical living in
their lives, and know nothing about
business. Peace is a topic often re-
peated, but never fulfilled in the
ranks of business, politics, labor Cir
cles, or in finance. All We think of is
squandering; we never think of being
thrifty. We buy gold and more gold.
and then bury it. Yet our debt in
creases, our taxes increase, and EN-
ployment shows no improvement.
Somebody must soon take a definite
stand. if we are to be saved from a
disaster.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.-The two
big domestic issues. which are NOV
ing toward a showdown, are the
amendment of the Wagner Labor Re
latiOns act, and revision of the WPA.
There is little hope at this time for
more than minor changes in the
Wagner act. Future relief policies
are being considered, and there is an
even chance that today's WPA will
come out of the fray in hardly recog-
nizable form.

VICES.-The Farm Security admins
tration recently reported that 1856
farmers had obtained equipment or
services they could not have OBJ
tanned otherwise. through the use of
Farm Security administration group
loans. These loans, available to
groups of small farmers. permit them
to obtain costly machinery and SER
vices they need to compete with large
scale farming which is steadily de-
veloping in some regions. The types
of services small farmers are getting
include combines. silage cutter, pure
bred sires, cOld-storage plants, bull
dozers, and terracing equipment, sir
up mills. hay balers. hatcheries. trac-
tors. and canning. laundry and sew
ing equipment. Average size group
loans made by the FSA has been

able only to needy and low-income
farmers. who cannot obtain adequate
credit from other sources.
