TAFT AS A CANDIDATE.

CECRETARY of War William II. TAFT makes
~ the interesting announcement that he IS a
receptive candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President That is while he is not
candidate he would not decline, but would be
happy should the National Republican Conven
ton honor him in the selection Of the standard
bearer. Mr. Taft modestly undertakes his own
strength He does not believe, he says that
cabinet officer carrying out the policies of the
administration would stand any chance Of secur-
ing the nomination and the subsequent election.
Mr. Taft in this statement may mean that any
cabinet officer OF any administration could not
hope to succeed to the nomination for President.
This can be his only meaning. If Mr. Taft be-
lieves that no one developing the policies advo-
Gated by President Roosevelt could be selected
by the convention he evidently bars the President
himself Of whom there has been talk of again
naming despite the firm refusal Of the President
himself to be candidate Yet Mr.. Roosevelt
is the strongest, most vire and popular man in
public life to-day before the people.
There is no doubt that opponents of the Pres
ident will try to defeat any man that may be pre-
sumed to voice the wishes OF the administration.
The Foraker group of Senators and the element
they represent throughout the country are op-
posed to the Roosevelt policies and are against
not only the President but any man that he
might favor. One of the weapons with which
they hope to batter down the popularity OF the
President and also Of Secretary Taft is the att-
tude of the President on the question Of the dis
missal of the negro troops. But these men are
likely to find that this weapon is boomerang.
Not all colored men, and we believe not a major
ity OF them, are joining in the hue and cry stir
red up by the corporation opponents OF the Pres
ident because Of his action in routing the I'M
worthy soldiers from the army. If the decree
Of the President had called for the ousting Of all
colored troops it would be another matter. But
just because the soldiers happened to be colored
it must not be presumed that they are free from
such discipline that the authorities think shoulc
be practiced If the army were run by whim
or sentiment, or race prejudice. we should sooi
have demoralzed lot OF soldiers indeed.
Secretary Taft himself is much stronger be
fore the people than he seems inclined to be
Heve Independent Of his connection with til
Presidents cabinet he has demonstrated that h
is man of wonderful ability, clear-headed and @
great executive power. Best of all, he is thor
oughy in line with the progressive thought i
the party to-day. If the battle in the party is I
be a question of the ideas Of President Roosevelt
against the views of the reactionary element, tn
sooner it begins the better. More thorough
than anyone else Secretary Taft stands for tn
big lead in the next presidential race. We b,
policies of the President. and this gives him
lieve the Roosevelt doctrine will prevail.

KA1sER,s APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY

THOROUGHLY aroused by the prospect OF
a the coming election, which is to reject or
approve his course, the Emperor of Germany has
appealed to the stay-at-home vote of the empire
to rally to his support at the polls. 1t is esti-
mated that there are fully three millions of quail
fled voters in the empire who will not anvil them
selves of the privilege Of the electorate. This is
a very large number for that country. The
Kaiser dissolved parliament because it refused
to vote sufficient money to maintain the German
troops in Africa as the Emperor thought they
should be supported. Angry when the parlia-
inent did not obey-his wishes he sent the mem
bers home and called for a new election. Either
the great stay-at-home element will have to come
out or the Emperor will stand an excellent
chance of being defeated. The Emperor, to be
successful will have to receive large clerical sup
port The Socialists poll great vote in Ger
many, which vote never diminishes. Party
workers of the proletariat always see that their
supporters get to the polls. We often complain
here of the numbers of men who are indifferent
to the suffrage and refuse to cast their ballots,
but from the Emperor's appeal it seems that other
countries have the same trouble And yet in
Russia enthusiasts suffer punishment and even
death in their effort to secure for their country
the free ballot

WE LEAD 10 OUR DISGRACE.

TN THIS day of high living, it is a source OF
Il wonderment to many people how II is that
the workingmen of this city and State, with their
very low wages, are able TO meet their expenses.
That problem, which has often occurred to us,
is solved in the statistics recently compiled by the
Department Of Commerce and Labor, at Wash
ington, and which appears in the last Congress
sional Directory. They show that there is
larger percentage Of child-labor in this city and
State than in almost any other State in the I'm
ion. What very disgraceful record for the lit
tie Diamond State.
For years there has been agitation against
child-labor and many States have adopted string
ent and effective laws against it. Indeed, we
have child-labor law in Delaware, but evident
ly little or no attention is paid to it by those in
clined to disregard or violate it. Yet, to the
working1nan, Who's wages inadequate to
support himself and his family, he is face to face
with the proposition Of total inability to meet
his expenses or to force his children to work for
even the small wages they receive 1t makes
great difference to a parent with family OF sew
eral children, and whose weekly wages do not
exceed SI2, as to whether or not one or two OF
his children are producers or consumers IT they
can earn 81 or So week, the result is very dill
ferent from what it would be if they earn nothing
but require 81 or more a week to maintain them.
We believe the record Delaware has for be-
ing the leading State for chd-labor is due to
the fact that wages are perhaps lower in Della
ware than in any other State. Low wages and
chid-labor go hand in hand, and the only way
apparent to us by which the proportion OF child
labor can be reduced in this city is that wages
may be increased to point where the father is
not compelled to drive his children into the mills
and factories and there to slave their little lives
away, instead of being at school and awaiting
themselves Of those opportunities to which they
are really entitled

a great amount OF building which was fettered

IL is only just TO a number Of the
citizens Of Newport to give a true ac-
count OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's fire in that town early on
Christmas morning. 1t was not due to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company or
TO the Wilmington fire companies ef-
forts that there was not a destructive
fire on that morning, but TO the energy
and perseverance of "a number Of the
citizens, who formed a bucket brigade
and never allowed the lumber yard of
j. G. Justus 70 catch fire. The New
port people are all grateful to the two
Wilmington fire companies for their
assistance and when they arrived they
could not get their engines close
enough to the river to obtain water.

cal engine 10 finish the work Of quench-

There is talk of clash" between the Presi-
dent and Congress- But there is no real danger.
Congress will crawfsh before the clash comes.
Some of the most prominent opponents OF the
President, who were ready to clash with him,
were left at home. Only few Of them were
elected. Any clash with the President in
Washington on ordinary matters is inspired by
the corporations, and when a congressman goes
up against the President and thus makes an issue
in his district he soon finds out that it would be
better for him to be the servant of his constit-
uents than OF the corporations.
