TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1922 OUR SLOGAN: The Evening Journal—the First Paper of the First City of the First I State. J WARFARE ON DOPE VENDORS r CREASING warfare by the polio# and the oenrt« against both vendor* and addicts is the only thing that will control and, we hope, ultimately stamp «ut, in cur city and State, the traffic in habit-forming drag«. It Is encouraging to note effective activity by the Police Department and fhe Municipal Court along that Jine. Drag vendors are being sent to the New Castle County Workhouse for long terms, while drug addicts nr# being sent there for shorter terms in order that they may have an opportunity to reform and get rid of the craving. The dope vendor Is held in contempt and execration by all right-thinking Delawareans. They care little to what lengths of severity the courts go In Inflicting pun ishment upon him. For his victims, however, they have profound sympathy, whioh manifests itself in a desire that they be put away and kept from the drugs until the habit has been broken. All those who enlist In the warflft-e against the dope »raffle are deserving of much credit, because they are engaged In a work which makes for the salvation of mankind and the good of society. HE SHOULD DECLARE HIMSELF SlE of the two men struck by an automobile, driven by an unknown man, when they were walking on the New Castle cauoeway on November IÏ, has died in the pelaware Hospital. The other victim of the driver's «-selflessness la recovering. We wonder how the driver of the oar feels now that he knows he has the life-blood of s fellow-being on his head? Hts mental condition must be terrible, because he knows, and the public concedes, that he did not in tend to strike, much less to kill, his victim. The best thing for him to do for his peace of mind in the present and the future is to go to Superintendent of Police Black, declare h1s identity and then throw him self on the mercy of ths couM. It will take nerve to do But, unless he does It, secret brooding ovec the (> tragedy will embitter his life for years to come. A VALUABLE BRITISH ASSFTT HE new tariff law provides, as Delawareans know, ithat coal shall enter ffse of duty, with the proviso that If any country Imposes a duty on Imports of coal iroTfl the United States "an equal duty ehal) be Imposed sipon such article coming Into the United States from that country." Canada Is levying a duty on American soft coal, and naturally thla proviso should apply to Canada, whence ■we Imported over a million tons during the fiscal year 1922. The New York Journal of Commerce Is opposed to our doing thla The Journal is apparently opposed to T everything done by the United States to protect Its own people, but le strong In support of anything done by Great Çritaln or her dominions for the same purpose. No one read« in the Journal any condemnation of the •'safeguarding of industries act" adopted by England, •which places a duty of 33 1-3 per cent, on imports. The Journal views with perfect equanimity the subventions paid by Great Britain to her vessels; the Canadian pro tective tariff with its preferential in favor of England I" quite unobjectionable to the Journal: the editor of the Journal is silent when British purchasers of our cotton, flour and other merchandise refuse to buy unless those commodities are carried aerpas in British boats, the Joufnal had no defense to mnke for the United States Shipping Board when Lasker broke the combination in Egypt which boycotted American ships frotn the long ctapie cotton carrying trade. We do not recall reading any editorial In the Journal condemning the British for trying to reduce American tonnage passing through the Suez Canal, which la con trolled by the British government. But the Journal was decidedly against free tolls to American ships passing through the Panama Canal, which was built with our money. Irj fact, the Journal is apparently very little Inter ested in American welfare, and very much Interested in British welfare. As a propaganda sheet for the British Empire, it Is a valuable asset to Great Britain. "HERE. BOTi" ROUND factories, offices, «tores and any other j places where people work together, fre A quently noticed by visitors la the hard-boiled attitude of grown-ups toward the boys who are on the payroll. The boss usually Is salaamed and toadied to es If he were a sacred cow. • Mies Pansy Plush, the beautiful typist, gets a lot of fawning consideration. And even the male grown-ups treat each other with a mutua. flefefence or respect, despite a considerable amount of facetious Joshing. Bat when it comes to the boy who works around the place—well, when he's called and commanded, it gen erally «ounds a* if he were a trained dog that had to be handled roughly on the theory that, give him an Inch, he'll, take a mile. Rqugh tbeatment, lack of consideration, and a stern rebuke are difficult for a grown-up to "swallow''—d- Iplte thf callouses accumulated by the sensibilities dur. ing years of toil and contact with the hostile pack that kre trying to get the same dollar we're after ourselvee. The boy, fresh from home and Just striking out for) bimse'f, has none of these callouses. His nature is sen ^«ltlve. without insulation. And making him the t*rg*t of tha unnecessary sharp word or lack of consideration j Is about the lowest-down aot that the eo-called human being is guilty of. When It cornea to girls, a thousand times more so. Maybe you remember, years ago, the heartaches and spiritual Injuries and disappointment* that were yours when you first began making your own living, Prob ably there were things that occasionally brought a few tears to your eyes. If we all kept this memory fresh before us, the boys who work today would get a better deal. Considering tha harsh and thoughtless treatment that most boys get on their fleet Jobs, It's no wonder that so many of them grow up brutal, cynical and defiant to ward their fellows. You can tell how much of real manhood there Is In a grown-up, by the way he treats the boys who work j around him. And you can spot the bully, roughing the | lads In a way he'd not have the oourage to try on men his own size. Another thing: These boys now norking with us. and making mistakes due to inexperience (a* we all did in „ „ . our turn), are the future leaders of the world. For all , some of us know, our only claim to greatness may be in having worked with some great man of the future, now a boy nervously fumbling at his first Job. À certain baggageman didn't realize this years ago when he permanently injured a train-boy's hearing by boxing him on the ears for cluttering up the baggage car with electrical apparatus. Ths trstn-boy was Thomas A. Edison. RADICAL RALLY GROUND T HE National Woman's Party reports that it has' raised and spent 3250,000 in its equal rights cam paign. The policies of the organization have at least the saving grace of consistency. The Woman's Party not only demands equal rights with men, but It also protests against special privileges for women working in Industry. It Is a stand that will find little favor with either sex. There Is no reason In the world why women in Dela ware and the other Stats« should not vote on an equality with men. but there are many reasons why they should not perform all publie duties on an equality with men. The recognition of their physloal limitation* In that fe gard has also led to the adoption of different working conditions for women In Industry. It Is a policy that has had the endorsement of both sexes in the past, and was never called la question until the advent of the new political organization to which neither the Republican nor the Democratic party holds an appeal, and which Is trying to build np new stand ards In most lines of thought. The Women's Party Is little more than a rallying point for radicals, and will find acceptance among none of our conservative women. THE LAST FIRST HEN the Treasury Department sent notloes to each one of the debtor governments a few weeks ago that the United States was ready to negotiate refund ing of their obligation«, polite recites were received w from all but Roumanla. But the country that was the last to reply to the American note Is now the first to comply with its re quest. A Roumanian delegation is now In 'Washington conferring with the Amerioan debt refunding commis sion on the 341,000,000 owed the United States. It is probable that negotiations with Roumanla will he concluded before those with any other debtor na tion. Despite the reckless utterances of certain radical In dividuals In Europe, It Is apparent that sincere efforts are to be made to meet the promises to pay that the Treasury holds. A DISCARDED ISSUE HERE Is no occasion for former President Wilson's statement that the Democratic party must he pre T pared in 1924 to lead the country to the sort of world peace It want«. The people are more determined than ever not to be come entangled In the Wilson brand of International relations. Every upset in the membership of the Senate at the recent elections marked the defeat of a friend of the League of Nations and the victory of a man who be lieves the United States should stay out of the league. The action of the Republican Senators In 1919 when they refused to ratify the league has been demonstrated as so eminently sound that It is no longer an Issue be tween parties. Real Americans, real Delawareans, of all political faiths belleva the United States should remain inde pendent. Otto H. Kahn says the Versailles treaty Is to blame for Europe's plight. The Republican Senators of 1919 recognized the treaty for what It was. They knew that Jt was unsound politically anil morally, and that the United Skates ought not to subscribe to its terms. They won the fight against It. In spite of tremendous pressure fer its ratification. The wisdom of their action Is now acknowledged by a vast majority of the people.

GEMS OF THOUGHT A laugh in time eaves a quarrel. The "swift" are seldom winners In the human race. Debt end disease are twin Jmpalrera of mental ef ficiency. More persons are afraid to do wrong than are afraid to do right. No girl could be as Innocent as «he appears when she Is in earnest about landing a man. The only way most persons ever have any chickens Is to count them before they are hatched. Nearly every man longs for the time when he will bp able to greet a bill collector with a smile. The fool who Is wise in his own conceit probably has a better sime than the one who Isn't wise in any way. Probably tite most Interesting thing about a bahy Is that It doesn't know enough to ask for favors you can't afford to grant. X 1 \ Farm Bloc Projects (From the New York Tribune). c.„„ farm bloc, has noted down some things which remain to be done to complete the bloo'e legislative pro gram. The Senator finds an argu ment for completion in the results of the last election. He eaya that the farmers stuçk by the Republican party while "labor" deserted it. Thl* is hardly convincing. In the indus trial states of Massachusetts, Con nectlcut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi gan and Illinois, for instance, j | "labor" dltl nfS\ desert Republican Congres« candidates sufficiently to make the desertion noticeable. More voer. New York and New Jersey went against the Republicans main ly on the wet Issue. There is no reason why Congress should not pSRs some of the legisla tion which Mr. Capper recommends . Rural credits ought to be further , „ tended . A bette r marketing s*s tern and fair grading ought to be provided for the farmer. It is de sirable that railroad rates on farm staples bo lowered although the worst way 1n the world to lower them would be to abolish the Labor The Country's Need of Labor (■From the New York Herald) A report of the United States De partment of Agriculture show the minimum and maximum wage rates for common labor paid on the roads building with aid from the national Government. Wages established to carry on Federal or Federal aid roads may he assumed to reflect the general standards of the different sections of the country where thla road work Is under way. The wide variation of the wage for such common labor la noteworthy. The range for the Federal aid road work in the country as a whole east of the Rocky Mountains is from 19 to 35 cents an hour, although in a few Instance«'the rate runs as high as 43 cents an hour. In country dis tricts, where the bulk of the road work Is done, ten hours Is not an unusual working day for common labor. On that basis the 19 cent rate would give a daily wage of 31.90, and this undoubtedly would be found chiefly in the South, where À ay labor Is supplied by the negro and living costs are lower than in the rest of the oountry. Certainly a wage of 31.90 a day with food, shelter and clothing cost ing what It at 111 costs in the northern and northeastern parts of the coun try would not be sufficient to sup port properly the average laborer's family In cur great industrial cent ers.. But a wage rate of 33.50 a day for common labor on the ten hour baste Is a higher level 'by a good deal, aa compared with before the war, than the present cost of living Increase. As for the 43 eent rate, or on the ten hour basis 34 *0 a day, euch a wag# must be caused by a limited BUTTERFLÏED" KNEES NEW FLAPPER MODE BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.—The bob-j bed hair Baltimore flapper has hit upon a novel decoration, having her knees tattooed with love ly butterflies.

Mr. Capper mentions Muscle Shoals. That 1* not simply a farm relief problem. Neither is a consti tutional amendment prohibiting tax exempt securities, or any general taxation scheme. The whole coun goes afield and wants to upset transportation or give our tax sys tern uneconomic and injurious tw:sts It makes many non-farmer friends grieve. The bloc should be Judicious enough to stick to Its own furrow. try le concerned with Federal taxa tlon, which should not be regulated by a single group Interest like the farm bloc. The bloc prospered and attracted sympathy when its aim« were limit ed to direct farm relief. When it supply strongly bid up by an urgent demand. such figures as 31.30 a day any where and-at 33.50 generally In the North there can be no question of the acute shortage of auch labor|New With common labor at throughout the country. And while there continues to be such shortage of fundamental labor there will continue to be a heavy cheek on the industrial agenelea that supply the public's necessartee of life. stade to the free output of the high er grades of production, ed trades cannot continue at full em ployment without an adequate sup ply of the work and materials that are dependent upon rough labor. So with a lack of the. common labor, the fundamental lalJor necessary to start and to keep in motion at top speed all onr economic machinery the nation'« industrial life is in dan There will be a natural ob The sklll ger.
