Small Towns to Receive Phones.

The Diamond State Telephone Com
pany have decided 10 place phones in
many of the smaller towns of Sussex
county. This will be a great advan-
tage to many of the towns that have
heretofore been practically isolated
from quick communication TO their
DeighbOiing towns. The following
places Will be benefited by the move
An exchange will be placed at Frank
ford, and connections will be made
with Bethany Beach, Roxana, Days
bOrO, Selbyville, Bayard, Omar, Mill
vile and Ocean View. These phones
are expected to be in operation by Feb
ruary lst, and will connect large por-
ton of Sussex county. 1t is thought
that forty or fifty phones will be in use
at the beginning. If the experiment
proves successful, the company will
doubtless install the system through
out rural Delaware.

Plan for Negro Disfranchisement.


Senator GOrman's plan for disfran.
chisiug the negro in Maryland was
made public last week. 1t meets with
the approval of leading constitutional
lawyers in Maryland, Virginia and
Alabama. 1t is proposed to have the
Legislature issue a call for a constitu-
tiOnal convention, when a new cOnsti-
tuition, modelled after that recently
adopted in Virginia, is to be adopted.
The idea is to have the Legislature
make provision for The election of dele
gates to the convention early in the
spring, have the convention meet early
in the summer and proclaim the con-
stitutiOn by September 1, without sub
mitting it to ratifying vote of the -peo-
pie.
AT the same time, as an alternative
measure, it is proposed by the mana
gers to tie two strings to their bow by
passing a bill for a constitutional
amendment to be submitted to the
voters at the next general election. The
success of the plan for the constitutional
convention would render the latter
measure nusatory, but if the former
failed there would still be a chance to
have the amendment adopted by pop
ular vote

The New York Sun" COngratuIates
Women Upon Their Progress.

The "New York Sun" in extending
its congratulations to the "Club Wo-
men" says:
"rhe Club Woman has good reason for ex-
ultatiOn over the progress made by women
in every direction during the last half cen
tury. This movement began when few
women, among whom the late Elizabeth Cady
stanton was most prominent, held the first
WOman's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls,
N. y, in july 1918. Ii was an humble begin
ming, amid general derisiOn, in which wo-
men themselves participated almost unani-
mousy,yet since then legislation concerning
women and their personal and property
rights has undergone complete revolution,
and the attitude toward social and Industrial
life has changed radically. The few women
on the stage at the Seneca Falls convention
were ridIcuied and lampooued as uusexed
monsters. Now women are frequent Speak
ers at public meetings. They have entered
iato every learned profession and into al most
every industry, even into some from which
they would seem to be debarred by physical
weakness.
"When the first Woman's Rights Conven-
tiOn was held in 1913. the employment Of wo-
men was almost wholly as domestic servants
and as school teachers. The Seneca Falls
convention of 1918 protested, mid general de-
rision, against the exclusion OF women from
nearly all profitable emplOyments and
against the scanty remuneration she re-
ceives from those she is permitted 10 fellow
'All colleges are closed against her said this
famous protest, 'all the avenues to wealth
and distnction;' and the accusation was jus
titled.
I'VE congratulate all womanhOod on the
remarkable progress which has been made
in the emancipation Of women from the re-
straiuts, social and legal, which bound them
at the time when Eliza eth Cady Stanton be-
gan her agitation in their behalf less than
hfty-siX years ago. So far as women are con-
cerned, the whole faee-of American society
has changed and the change has been for the
better, for both men and women"
