Miss Elizabeth Venable
Critically 111 In Wilmington
i
The many friends of Miss Elizabeth j
Venable, of this city, but conducting
a public school at Marshallton, near
Wilmington, Del., will regret to hear
that at this writing she is seriously
ill with what was supposed to be
pneumonia but now has developed in
to pleurisy.
Miss Venable was taken ill last
week and rapidly showed a very- high
temperature, and from present re
ports does not seem to improve as
fast as her family and friends would i
like to see.
Mrs. Venable, her mother, is with
her and she together wit hprofession
a! nursing will insure the invalid the
best of attention. It is to be hoped i
news will soon reach here that she is
on the road to recovery.
Prominent Stockton Man
Died At Home Last Week
James K. Smack, a highly respect
ed citizen of Stockton, died last week, j
his death being due primarily to a
fall he experienced which caused
pneumonia to develop.
- He was 77 years of age, and his :
last illness extended through a period
li of only a few days.
E Besides a widow, he leaves four 1
S children: Mrs. C. H. Jones, Mrs. John!
E Burbage, of Cape Charles; Iceland
5 and Herman Smack, both of Phila- j
E delphia.
£ Funeral services were held on Sun-
E day last, at which a large concourse |
E of friends attested the esteem in which
E the deceased was held.
E Mr. Smack was an uncle of the late,
S Francis M. Wilson of this city.
j MEANDERINCS OF A MILDLY !
I MILITANT MIND.

1 WHERE WE ERR.
5 Everyone, everywhere, is talking a-,
S bout the wretched moral condition ex- j
E isting at the present time and trying j
5 to fix the blame.
E Some say it is the after-effect of
S the world war, others that it is the
E natural result of meddlesome legisla-
S tion. And then there are those who,, '
E like the chivalrous Y. M. C. A., the
jj pious old pope and a lot of preachers
5 and priests, declare the crux of the
E whole morbid matter is found in the,
S face of the flapper.
5 The shoulders of the daughters of
S Eve should sag under so monstrous
5 a burden; but they don’t. It’s not
S there. They do not bear it. That’s
S why.
S The burden of blame belongs to ev-
E eryone of us .
■ There’s just one legitimate reason
jj for the present deplorable state of
It affairs. We am wasting our time
blaming everything and anything,
everybody and anybody, but our own ‘
I deeds and our own selves.
■ We need to look within, not with-
S out.
We have grown slack in the mat- ,
[ ter of discrimination. We are men- (
: tally and spiritually lazy. We shirk ]
l and we sham. We have become a na- (
j tlon of investigators. And our inves
• tigations don’t amount to a tinker's
j darn. They are smoke-screens that
: cover inefficiency and worse, actual
■ profligacy.
j If the public is roused, if some un- j
■ toward event wakens us from our le- j
j thargy and action is imminent, an in-!
j vestigation is invariably started, but;
■ before it is thoroughly under way our
j interest flags; and so far as making
■ even the feeblest effort towards im
: proving things is concerned, we a-
I gain fall fast asleep.
| This is true throughout our whole
| governmental world, from center to
j circumference. It is true in social as
• well as political life. The one spot ■
j where we are not guilty of indiffer-!
• once is in matters of finance. And at!
■ that, many of us are so blind that we i
j can’t see the connection between poli- i
5 tics and our pocketbooks.
S What we need is to wake up!
S Where we err is in blaming others
S where we should blame ourselves.
S Few of us are doing the good of
E which we are capable. We’re loafing
E on the job, rubbing our eyes, yawn-
S ing, complaining, and condemning
E others for conditions we don’t lift a
5 finger to change.
E In the name of reason, why don’t
E we get busy and attempt to create the
S conditions we want, or at least try to
E correct those we deplore?

However, he seems sincere in his
! intentions to reform, and he has all
(the incentives of a wonderful money
making proposition to urge him on
ward.
Easton was no match for Barton in
the State scholastic soccer champion
ship game played on the Western
iShore last week, Barton being return
ed the winner by the overwhelming
score of 17 to 0, thereby winning
i State honors for three successive
years.
With its new coach, a wealth of
material and the desire to proceed
with its progressive football policy,
'Western Maryland College has met
| with disappointment at every turn.
The three teams the W. M. C. desire
most to play—University of Alary
land, Johns Hopkins and St. John’s—
| have declined to meet the Green Ter
rors on the gridiron during the sea
son of 1026.
In each case Western Maryland
■was told the schedule for next sea
son was complete.
j This is sad news they had counted
| upon making a real bid for the Mary
; landcollegiate championship in 1926,
I but of course, they can make no claim
unless they meet Maryland, Hopkins
land St. John’s, even though their sea
son turned out most successful a
-gaint even stronger outside elevens.
It is most unfortunate, this failure
of Maryland elevens to meet each j
other, because the Baltimoreans who
; have the interest of no particular j
school at heart always hav< ; found the j
race for the Maryland title most at
tractive. I
Dick Harlow, one of the most sue-1
cessful football coaches in the United
States ,a man who has done wonders
at Colgate, has been employed by
Western Maryland. He is to take up
his new duties at Westminster in
April, when spring practice will be
j held. His very presence in Maryland
j should add interest to foot ball in this
State. Moreover, his presence in a
battle for the Maryland title would
increase the color and attractiveness
to this rivalry, but the W. M. C., must
wait another year.
