strous ingratitude at this late day to hold that
entire race responsible for the crimes Of their
few"
This is unquestionaby true, and if the negroes
follow the advice Of President Jason and declare
themselves in no unmistakable terms, il will be
OF great benefit to them. The recent Republican
Convention showed that there are colored men
capable Of leading in such movement as Presi-
dent Jason advocates One OF the speakers at
that convention referred to bad and rascally me-
groes that he would not want to represent him in
anything. That is true 1t is the bad negroes
that do all the dcvilmcnt
Let the good ones get after them as the worst
enemies of their race. Let them aid the officers
OF the law in furnishing these yagabond negroes
and we feel sure their efforts will be heartily APP
preciated by the white people, who will render
them every assistance. The colored people must
help themselves. They could do much TO prevent
any caustic race feeling in Delaware
President Jason is on the right track We trust
he will keep there until some tangible result is
accomplished. There is no disposition anywhere
in Delaware to maltreat the decent, honest and
respectable colored people, as the latter well
know
Evening journal., 1906-09-29

ID RESIDENT JASON, OF the State Colorcd
4 College at Dover, has issued an appeal TO
the coored men of Delaware to take action to
show that the leading members of the race will
do all in their power suppress the criminal ele
ment among the negroes. He realizes that
whether Justly OF not the crimes Of the disorderly
and lawless negroes reflect upon the whole race
He fears that unless something is done to halt the
too frequent outburst of crime the white people
will take drastic legislation in attempt to solve
the problem.
President Jason is right in these points. The
colored men should hold convention and express
themselves as he suggests They should take
their own initiative 1t may be unjust but I'M
fortunately it IS True, that sometimes a whole
people or a large part OF them, are punished for
the sins OF few. The innocent often suffer with
the guilty That has been history.
The Delaware State News. in discussing the
matter, rightly says: "The great majority OF our
ooored people are honest, law-abiding citizens
who entirely disapprove and regret the frequent
and eNasperating crimes Of our floating vagabond
negroes. The black man has been newer of
wood and drawer Of water for us through all our
progress and development, and il would be mon

POPULAR NOVELS
AT THE LIBRARY

The Boston Transcript has the fol-
lowing to say about a list of novels
published by the Institute Free Lii
brary of this city:
A List of Good Novels Seldom
Read" is published by the Wilmington
CDel) Institute Free Library. II was
compiled after an examination of the
shelves which showed how many in
teresting novels seem to have been for
gotten. II does not include the best
novels" the works Of the greatest writ
ers. nor those published during the last
few years. II simply mentions a few
works of the second or third rank.
popular In Their day. but neglected
now. a library can by this method add
considerably to its readers enjoyment.
The quiet revival of interest IN Troll
lope that is going on at present might
be matched by a renewed interest in
some Of the older novelists-Lever, for
example"
Since this list was published in Feb
ruary Of last winter, the books on the
list have been read much more than be-
fore that time. Most of them We're
withdrawn from the general collection
and placed on shelves by themselves,
It has been almost impossible to keep
these shelves full so that readers might
have a number of titles from which to
select The list Of novels is still in
print and may be obtained free at the
library, or viii be sent by mail on re-
quest Those who are tired Of modern
fiction will do well to examine this list
and read some OF the books popular
many years ago.

THE ONE QUESTION.

Nn ILMINGT0N ought to have fair deal at
w the next session of the Legislature
But if the people Of the city arc so Indifferent
that they will not elect members of the Legisla-
ture who will watch for the citys interests, then
this city does not deserve square deal
We have had an active Board of Trade that
has discussed various measures for the benefit of
the city This Board OF Trade has proposed
new charter for the city. To secure such char
Nter it is essential that we should have members
of the Legislature who stand for the cty's inter
ests We have not heard that the Board of
Trade or the leading men of the city who take
such an interest in the welfare of Wilmington
are exerting themselves to see that men will be
chosen to the Legislature who will stand for the
peoples interests.
In only one district of the city is the fight be-
tween the people and the opponents of the peo-
pie sharply drawn That is the Third Represent
alive District where the voters Of the Republican
party are deciding at this time whether the peo-
pie are to have representative in the Legsla-
ture or whether the public service corporations
are 70 have such a representative While our
4eadihg citizens Steep the public service and other
predatory corporations are alert and active get
ting their representatives on the tickets of both
political parties.
We published the platform upon which Robert
keenan, stands and asks for the nomination for
the Legislature He is a plain, honest citizen,
with no money 70 buy votes and no method Of
overcoming the opposition of the corporations,
which, OF course are using the only method of
political warfare that they ever employ-infu-
encing votes in an improper and illegal way.
There are yet several hours in which the vot-
ers can go TO the polls and declare whether they
will support a responsible man who declares that
he will, if nominated and elected, look after the
interests Of the people at large and the citys well
fare, or whether they will simply hand the Leg
islature over to the corporate ring.
The corporations know that the honest sent-
ment Of the voters would be against them. They
do not fight in the open. They fight from ann
bush II makes no difference to them how they
attain their ends, so that they get there
There is one thing sure and that is If keenan,
is defeated and the corporations elect their candi-
dates 70 the Legislature, the only kind of char
ter that the people will get will be one to safe
guard the interests Of the public service corpora
tions. In such a contingency we need no new
charter at all This city shoald not be surren-
dered to nsolent, audacious and law-deiying pub
lie service corporations.

desire from their representatives. This is
done by the circulation OF a petition, and
when certain percentage OF the qualified

MAJOR FLAaLER AS A WIT.

IT HOSE who were at the dinner given to the
a Canal Commissioners at the Country Club
Wednesday evening, charmed by the bright
and witty aiter-dinner speech of Major Flagler,
one of the Commissioners He humorously
said that he preferred as a route for the deep
water canal, connecting Delaware and Chesa-
peake Bays, the heretofore unmentioned route,
comprising the Elk and Christiana rivers and
desighaed it as the Christiana route. He
stated that he had patience with the other sug-
gested routes, running as they do through marsh,
swamp and woodlands beneftng no particular
place, when by the adoption Of the Christana
route, there would be innumerabe advantages
derived by this city and its manufacturing and
commercial interests. In the wit and mpromptu
development OF his proposition, he gave so many
good reasons for adopting the Chrstiana route
that many of his hearers were actually won over
by him and when he finished his happy speech,
amid long and resounding applause, there were
many who were inclined to abandon the present
canal route and favor the new suggestion Of
Major Flagler- Such is the power of speech when
exercised by one so gifted as Major Flager
