Of liquor in any form, except for medi-
cal purposes.
The report also declares that the
growing use Of narcotics threatens the
nation and urges legislation to stop the
indiscriminate sale to the public OF the
slavemaking drugs
Sunday closing Of drug stores for at
least part Of the day and national
narcotic law to stringently regulate the
sale Of enslaving drugs, were also H.
doTsed The members Of the ass0cla-

Mr.. BRYAN is not one whit
stronger with the people of the
country now than he was eight
years ago, neither are the principles
on which he stands any different
from what they We're then but the
seeming popularity that has greet
ed him aud his cause, comes from
the differences which have cropped
out in the ranks Of the Republican
party all over the country. There
is unfortunately a disposition Of the
institutions which have enjoyed
special privileges, such as the
Standard Oil Trust and others of
less prominence to fight Mr.. Taft,
while the local issues in several Of
the most sturdy Republican States
have introduced feeling of uneasi-
ness that they may affect the nat
ional ticket. We do not share this
feeling, but on the contrary feel
that Mr.. Taft will be elected by
good round majority. Here in Della
ware the State ticket will be elected
by good safe majority; but not so
large as that Of two years ago, when
a great landslide was made to the
Republican party. This is the first
election in which the entire party
had hand in making the ticket,
and it is to be expected that there
will be some dissatisfaction. When
the county tickets are named next
Tuesday, the campaign will open
and the people be rallied around
the Republicans standard, and car
ried to victory.

IT will be a sorry day for the
negro of Delaware when the Italian,
or other labor, comes to supplant
them in the industries of this PENN
sula, and it is coming soon, if not
all ready at hand. This year the
berry growers have brought help
from this class, and they have re
manned to help with other work on
the farm. Wherever this occurred,
employers are enthusiastic in praise
Of the new help and are encourage
ing its settlement with them. The
canneries have more than doubled
this kind of help this year, and that
in the face of the fact that the tom
alto and other crops usually packed
into cans, is a short one, and the
results are more than satisfactory
to the employers of labor. The
negro will be pushed to the wall as
a laborer in a brief time in Della
ware; and he has only himself to
blame for the trouble. The help
given in all branches of labor by
the negroes has been less and less
satisfactory to employers for ten
years past, and in self protection it
has been necessary to import help.
If the present conditions are part
of the evolution of the negro from
one sphere to another, then we hope
it is to better. Twenty-Five years
ago the labor of this country was
largely done by the Irish, but now
adays the Irish is an employer of
labor instead of the employed.
Will this be so with the negro ? We
hope so. The white race has help
ID the colored race literally in the .
last, but when they are supplanted
IS wage earners, the incentive for
urther aid is removed. 1t is time !
Or the colored race to help itself,
nd if they are to maintain a place i,
/ the State they must bestir them Z

WHEN the Prohibition Party of
Delaware ignores the results which
have been brought about by the
people, regardless of party ahiillia-
tions, and dominates a ticket Of its
own, it should be left to work out
its own results. We believe in pro-
hibition, and have confidence that
the people will see its good effects
if the law is given a fair trial, but
there is the usual senselesss radical
efforts of few, who are now de-
manding that prohibition ticket
be placed in the field, who can in
a measure nulify the hoped fer re-
suits.

WHILE the modern system of
school work may be deficient in
some-respects, and no doubt the
tendency is to take on more work
and too many branches ofstudy for
the pupil to master thoroughly
in the time the average boy or girl
is allowed for schooling, yet there
IS a fault on the part of parents
which is persistently left out Of &C
count in the argument Of the critic.
The pupils, in the higher grades,
are allowed to spend the nights dur
ing the week in various amusements
which distract their minds from
school work, and the loss of sleep
incapacitates them for good work
during school hours.

THE primary elections to be held
tomorrow will have important bear
ing on the results of the November
voting. If men are sent to the
convention who will give thought
to the party success, rather than
for the purpose of personal results,
the lacking confidence and enthus-
iasm will be restored, 1t is a mis-
take to inject the liquor question
into legislative nominations, and
those favorable to a license system
will learn this to their sorrow later
on. Make clean tickets and the
people will elect them.

 an Enormous Sum.
 Washington, May 1s.--The Sixtiets Congress will have earned the title of "a billion dollar congress- at it's first session before adjournment is taken at the end of this week.
 It is estimated that the total appro- priations will reach the enormous sum of $1,02s. 100000 which is said to be the largest amount ever appropriated at single session. The various items contributing to make up this prodt- gious aggregate are as follows:
 sundry civil, i2o.oo0.OOo; legislative, executive and judicial. sS3,000, 900 army, 3,00o; postofiice, S2a1. 1.7s5,- tions. $11,500,0 900; agriculture, S1l,642,- 900; District of Columbia.

Philadel- phia, relief of cyclone sufferers in the South. etc. s1.50o.ooO; permanent an- nual appropriations, $l54, 600, 900.
 These appropriations are for the hs- cal year which begins July 1, 1908. It is too early to give anything like an accurate estimate of the revenues oi the government during that period oi twelve months, but members of the Ap. proprlations Committe think they vii run somewhere between $S50.00o, ,0ot and S900, 0,000, 900. This would mean q deficit of between Sl25. 100000 to $i7s,- 000, 900.
