NEGROES OFFER MEMORIAL
Ask That colored Superintendent Be
Appointed 70 SUPERVISE Schools.

Special to The Evening Journal.
DOVER. Jan. S-Negro educators Of
the state appeared at Dover with a
printed memorial saying "At a State
convention held by the colored District
School Commissioners at Dover, among
other things asked was that the office
Of colored State superintendent be
created, the duty of such official being
to have supervision OF the colored
schools OF the State" The pamphlet
then cited a lot of law and suggested
that the constitution ami statutes con-
iiicted, after which il made this rather
astonishing appeal: /:
I'm view Of the above facts it seems
to us that there can be no argument
against granting our humble request.
and n Il be refused. then we feel that
you should repeal the Jim Crow
features OF the school law and there
by do away with school elections and
put both white and co,ored schools
under the same board OF control. Re

Editor The Evening Journal.
Very many men attain a wide reputa-
ton, within the main circle of their ac-
quaintance, Of being good fellows
when the men themselves know that it
is undeserved and that the term "bad
fellows" would more nearly fit their
case. OF course, there are hosts upon
hosts OF men, far more than the world
at large knows Of. who are In truth
good fellows IA every sense OF the word,
but II is a fact, nevertheless. that IN
numerous instances the designation ap-
piled to men whose only title thereto is
won at the cost OF disquiot and anxiety
at home and among friends. and pos
sihly Of broken hearts and ruined lives.
Viewed from merely the selfish stand
point young man cannot afford to be
known as a good fellow, as the term is
commonly understood, much less to be
one. In the proper sense Of being an
agreeable companion, everyone should
endeavor to be such. and the first place
in which to show this good fellowship.
Is the home. Yours respectfully,
One Who Knocks.

MAKING ANARCHISTS or rHE YOUNG

IT HE anarchists, in their propaganda in this
4 country, display much cunning and
shrewdness. AT all their meetings in New York
which have been raded by the police of that city,
persons Of tender years have been found in the
audience. In some of the gatherings that have
come under the eye Of the police the very young
have beep the most CONSPICUOUS. AT the recent
meeting thar the anarchists held in memory of
the assassin of President McKiney--the very
thought OF such meeting is repulsive-a four
teen year old girl and a seventeen year old youth
were arrested Sowing the seeds of anarchy in
the minds of the very young often reaps a har-
vest, as is illustrated by the young girls and
young men who figure in the terrorist ranks in
Russia. Once imbued with the strange teachings
of anarchy and destruction, they are often never
gotten rid Of The police should at least suppress
the meetings Of the young anarchists, even
though they permit the gatherings of the older
ones under the false plea of free speech.

SENATOR DUPoNT's GOOD SUGGESTION

0F THE many proposed measures to come
- before the Legislature, the suggestion
made by Senator dupont that there be some leg
islation to divide the large voting districts is
most excellent one. There are, in the State,
number of districts so large that it requires al
most uninterrupted voting to enable all to cast
their ballots, and then requires most of the night
TO count the vote. Besides that, such districts
comprise great deal OF territory and require
many OF the residents to travel from six to ten
miles from their homes to the polling place both
to register and to vote. There is no reason why
such inconvenience should be imposed upon the
people Of our State A district comprising large
territory and many voters should be divided so
as to make at least two registering and voting
places and they so arranged as to afford the
greatest convenience TO the greatest number Of
people in the district We heartily commend the
suggestion Of Senator DUPONT to the careful con-
sderaton OF the Legislature, and trust that some
action will be taken to correct a condition which
is one Of great hardship to the residents in GER
tain sections of the State.
