Chicago San Franclfce, Angelas, ful conclusion to be drawn from this year's gain la that business improvement has more than offset the tax reductions made In the 1021 Internal tax revision act. Tha policy of that act has been handsomely vindicated In so far as it lightened the burden of taxation. It required a good deal of courage on the part of Congress to cut tha government Income while Federal expenditure, although coming down, waa still well up toward in large part by State and municipal bond exemption, that J. surtax exceeding 32 per cent, is of little value to the Treasury.
Business activity makes Internal in the American cotton Industry, the stimulation of which he ascribed to the restoration of the protective tariff policy. A report of the United States Census Bureau. Just published, shows that this tremendous activity waa by'no means transient, but that "new records for activity in the American cotton manufacturing Industries were established In February, even exceeding tha unparalleled mark set in January." According to the Census Bureau the consumption of raw cotton for February last was 94.58 bales greater thau for February, 1 922. The bureau calls attention to the different situation existing February 28 when cotton on hand amount parallel between classes of work done In the Government service and corresponding classes of work done in private employment, bo that sal- the war level.

However, it must not be overlooked that similar advantages are enjoyed also by the employes of many corporations who get higher pay than Government employes.

Baruch, that France, under the circ*mstances, could do nothing else and that what she is "doing will expedite and not retard a reasonable settlement. Incidentally, Mr. Baruch sets an commander of the Emdon when the war broke out In 1914, was as Una a spirit as ever sailed tho seas. "Attack the enemy on sight" tha slogan ot the British navy was appropriated ly the German commander. And he bettered tho English rule by searching the enemy out and giving battle unawares.
Withal he was a gentleman as well as "a first-cUuw fighting man." His work In the Indian ocean in th first three months of the war is hardly excelled in the naval annals of any nation. Like Semmcs, he went down with his ship, to be rescued and Imprisoned by his captors. For the remainder of the war he was Incarcerated. For 30 months 'before America entered the war he was in prison. He remained there till the war's end.
At the age of 50 years he died. Theoretically, he was America's enemy. For his memory Americans can have no ungenerous feeling; (for his character and achievement, only admiration. DON'T KILL THE NAVY. From the Columbia Record.
The navy of the United Stat has always been one of the things that Americans have been proud of. The gallant traditions of the service that is enriched in history by the deeds of John Paul Jones, of Stephen Decatur and of George Dewey have always awakened a responsive sentiment in the hearts ot tne people. The news from Washington that our navy is not up to the standard of -strength set in the 5-5-3 ratio approved at the Washington conference on armament limitation is a disagreeable dish. It will likely come as a shock to a large percentage of citizens of the country if they stop and think of it. We do not believe the people of the United States want to see their navy relegated to a position of inferiority even in the matter of tonnage and armament.
Certainly they do rot wish to see their fleets cramped to a point where efficiency is destroyed. PROTECTION HELPS FARMERS. From the "Washington Post. Convincing refutation of the charge that the protective tariff is working to the injury of the farmer, recently made by the American Farm Bureau Federation, is furnished by results of record under protection. Since enactment of the temporary tariff and through the operation of the permanent tariff to date agricultural conditions have shown steady and notable improvement.
The depression prior to enactment of Republican protective measures bore impressive testimony to the injury to which farm interests were subjected by the absence of effective protection. The improvement since registered is clearly to be credited to stimulation of the domestic market, and i telearly follows that this result is to be credited to the protective tariff. Under protection American industry has increased in activity, unemployment has been reduced to lowest terms and as a result market conditions register great improvement. Such is one of many Indirect benefits ot tariff protection thnt have helped the farmer and that are apparently overlooked or ignored by critics. The record shows that the farmer has been markedly better oft under protection; and his prosperity Is just getting well under way as rood and clothing is l.o longer an Index to wages.
Ordinary labor In concrete work gets $0.50 a day by the union scale; gets' moro than that when the builder must bid for it. The scale for plasterers Is $10 a day, but they often command $16 to $20. Lathera on piece work are making $20 a day. The once humble hod carrier is paid $7 a day when the builder Is lucky enough to catch him. Such wages as these, coupled with the high cost of material, have made the man who wished to build a house wonder whether there was any hope for him, any chance that the cost ot building would come downe a little, as the prices of food and clothes came down.
Recently he has been In despair, for tho legislators, stricken with election day nervousness, have refused to take the steps obviously needed. Congress has declined to open the Immigration gate a little so that needed labor might enter. In this State the Legislature was asked to enact laws providing prison sentences for criminal conspirators against the anti-trust laws and compelling trades unions to admit to their ranks worthy labor. But these measures, the natural outcome of the Lockwood committee's investigation, are being smothered in Albany. 4.
Under the circ*mstances the recommendation made by Mr. Hoover is particularly welcome. If Congress will help the people in the matter of housing, then the Executive should do all in its power to prevent the Government from bidding against the private builder DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. From the Rocky Mountain News. The common complaint heard In advance of an election is tb.at often the most eligible citizens can not be induced to become candidates for public office on account of what they would have to undergo from a section of the press and from vicious circles In the community.
In proof ot this it is pointed out that the candidate must be either a synco-'Phant and -accept dictation from these quarters or willing to suffer martyrdom. An independent person will not be dictated to; the other kind is not wanted in a self-respecting community or State. Yet the latter kind is often in evidence, because the public is indifferent and does not resent unjust treatment given to men in ipubllc office who are honest and refuse to crook the knee to evil influences. What has been stated is true In regard to public' office of an honorary character, nonpolitical, without financial reward directly or indirectly. The genus politician is supposed to be thick-skinned.
But in politics, in the attitude of press and public to those holding political office, criticism ought to be what the name actually implies fair, impersonal, summing up of a judge on the bench. If the person In public, office his office, expose he is doing his best and that best is not perfection, show him his mistakes, but do not pillory him. If he is dishonest, if he ia permitting graft among his underlings, even though he may he personally honest, bring him to book as a public duty.

1918 this records a consumption rate exceeding anything in the history oT the industry and there is every indication that 1923 consumption of raw and production of manufactured cotton goods will outstrip anything this country has ever known, notwithstanding the. fact that the year opened with labor troubles. It Is Interesting to note that February consumption included 32,863 bales of foreign and 4.477 of American-Egyption cotton, the latter being produced In Arlaona. chiefly, where it is known as Pima. The mills on February 28 held 93,000 bales of foreign and 16,000 American-Egyptian, while the public storages held of the former, and 27,000 of the latter.

Both England and France are already in agreement upon a figure close to this. Mr. Baruch further suggests that security be given to France by means tor of Scientific Work in the Department of Agrioulture. whose task is of enormous economic importance to the nation, gets $5,000 a year. Two striking polls recently have been taken to ascertain American sentiment toward French occupation of the Ruhr.
One was a poll of editors of Associated Press Newspapers throughout the United States and was conducted by "The 'of Spokane, Wash. Out of 332 who answered 239 voted "emphatically yes" In approval of the French invasion of the Ruhr Valley. "Emphatically no" was voted by 65; 24 were conditionally favorable; 4 were undecided. The other was a poll of Yale students and showed a result roughly paralleling the editorial figures. "Three to one" in support ot France was the way the result was an-announced.
"The Spokesman-Review's" figures show an even larger percentage behind France if the "conditionally favorable" and "undecided' 'voters are left out of consideration. Tha result is ever-whelming in both cases. We think observation confirms the view that these polls fairly represent the considered opinion of America. The pro-German press hus done its utmost. Lying propaganda against France has worked under forced draft.
The vast I inches or more staple length, was thrown out by the to two important points with respect to truffle that are as applicable to Delaware as they are to the East-ern Shore of Maryland. One point is, that, in view of the great volume of notor vehicles using: the public roads, all vehicles those which ere motor-driven and those which are horse-drawn, should be compelled to carry lights. Another is, that ail drivers of motor-driven vehicles should have impressed upon them, in season and out of season, the high importance of keeping their eyes steadily upon the road ahead. This latter point should be impressed particularly upon the young, who are only too prone to chat as they rush along and, Instead of steadily watching the road ahead. In short, to take a broad chance.
If the Gonce carriage had carried a lantern on the passing side, It is almost certain that the accident would not have occurred. On the other hand, even if the carnage had carried no lights, if the auto driven by young McManus carried the legal lights and If the young student had been watching the road ahead, his lights unquestionably would have revealed the carriage ahead. Existing conditions with respect to horne-drawn vehicles place practically all the burden of responsibility upon the driver of the motor vehicle. That is not right. It should be corrected by law.
With a promising young man killed; with a housewife injured seriously; with two other persons hurt; with the happiness of two households destroyed, and with an automobile and a carriage wrecked, it is enough to lead to corrective legislative action, not only in Delaware but also in Maryland.

According to the Department of Commerce survey the total number of cotton spindles In the world In 1922, actfve and idle, was 157,000,000, so it will be noted that slightly over 22 per cent, of this number are active in the United States today.
No section of the country was more insistent on protection to the cotton textile industry than the South, when the present tariff law was being framed. And with good reason. Southern spindles have increased from 860,000 In 1883, consuming 313,000 bales of cotton, to 15,700 spindles in 1921, consuming 3,152,000 bales. With the exception of two intervals. 1894-197 and 1913-1922, the industry has been well protected, and even in the latter peri-id the Great War acted a a tariff proxy for four years.

Heretofore the society has financed itself with local municipal assistance. Now it finds that its expenses have increased so much that further aid must be sought. The State Legislature well can afford, while appropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars, to include an item of $500 for this purpose. The work of the society always has been conducted cleanly and quietly. We never have heard any criticism of the society or its executive "officers in the performance of their duty.

The announcement of Mr. Harding's candidacy is a formality that explains itself. It would be unjust to Republicans to leave tbeni in uncertainty regarding their leader's attitude toward another term. There can be no other candidate if Mr. Harding is willing to be renominated.
He is morally bound to be a candidate, since the party's record was made by him and it is around him that the contest will be held. The contest, however, will not be very dangerous, unless the Democratic party repairs its disorganized forces, discovers an issue, and instills confidence into its 'members. Where is the issue? It is difficult to suggest any question that will give the Democratic party an opportunity to win favor with the Political discussion has been stimulated by the announcement by Attorney General Daugnerty that Mr. Harding will be a candidate for the Presidency in lS2i, and that he will be renominated by the acclamation. Some of the opposition newspapers and politicians, who know only too well how difficult it is to discover an issue, are trying to find something mysterious in the announcement Just made.
They wonder why it is made at this time, and why it is made by Mr. Daugher-ty. and why it Is made at all. They attempt to read into it an effort by the Republican party leaders to offset a widespread opinion that Air. Harding ts tired of the Presidency.
They say that unless he had been committed to another campaign he might have announced his refusal to run again, greatly to the consternation of the party. They speculate also along this line: The unpopularity of the Republican administration is such that Mr. Harding foresees certain defeat; therefore he does not wish to be a candidate; but it is necessary that he should run because the party's record Is his record and the party can not afford to repudiate him. It is also suggested from Democratic sources that. Mr.
Daugherty makes the announcement in order to deceive the public into thlnktrs that there is harmony in the Republican party, when in reality it is seething with revolt. These Democratic opinions are summed up by Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democratic national committee. Mr. Hull romarks that refusing to start on untouched con struction, can keep employment in reserve against a possible period depression. When Secretary Hoover suggests that "at least for the next several months the fades will be fully occupied in private construction'1 he is making a very conservative estimate.

We cannot conceive that anyone in the State will offer any objection to the Legislature granting this Labor has gone with material on this economic Joy ride. The cost of MOTHER! MOVE labor should trust its welfare to Mr. Gonvpers, who certainly does not represent the public. The labor leader thinks that the public, acting through its representatives in Congress and the State Legislatures, does not give labor Its rightful dues. Others, thousands of them here in Delaware, take an opposite view.
But, whatever may be the merits of that controversy, the fact remains that labor must trust its welfare to the public. This is a government of, for, and by the people, and not of. for, or by Mr. Gompcrs. Until the Constitution is overthrown, the public, will continue to regulate the welfare of labor and every other group of our citizens.
