FOREIGNERS AS FARM LABoRERs.

observing that foreigners from the conti-
- mental nations of Europe are likely to be-
come farm aborers in Delaware, the Milford
Chronicle asks what is to become of the negro
laborers. In fact coored labor ought TO be suf-
6cient to supply all the wants OF the lower coun-
ties, but the complaint of its inefficiency and
scarcity is becoming louder and louder every
year.
In the remote parts of the lower counties, and
in fact in this county it is difficult to get coored
labor at all In years not so long ago the
farms were tenant houses filled with the coored
help, but it is not so to-day The farmer tlas
has his tenant houses occupied with colored la
borers is lucky indeed.
What has become of these former laborers !?
Many OF them drift to the towns and do odd
jobs. Others work on the railroad and still
others 90 to the larger cities, where wages are
higher and the hours of labor shorter. But even
these reasons do not account for all the colored
labor
If the foreigners come, and they will be wei
ci negroes and native whites who should be en-
gagged in farm labor will be increased
The foreigners, with their usual thrift will
hoard their savings and the years will not be
long before they will have small farms of their
own. All of which the negroes ought to have
and il they followed the advice of the intelligent
leaders OF their race many Of them in the coun-
try districts could become property owners.
The Chronicles question truly is one for con-
sideration not only by the negroes themselves
but by the whites who have been dependent upon
them for help.

THE MEN AND THEIR PICTURES.

FTkN 1t is unfair TO Judge a man by the por-
traits OF him printed in the newspapers or
on the campaign banners or in cartoons The
artists allow themselves great liberties as the
campaign banners testify. Fortunately both the
presidential candidates are good-loobing men
Bryan IS not so good looking he was during
his hrst campaign. Age has made its inroads
upon his face, but the average picture shows him
tairly presentable. Some eight years ago he was
probably at his best But Bryan has led strenu-
Gus life. He has the endurance and steam of
locomotive. Because of his endurance and steam
he should be the delight OF the locomotive ticket
IN Delaware, and yet those who are at the Demo
cratic throttle would tuck him awav in the coal
box, II they could. The artists depict BRYAN in
all sorts OF facial poses They are as VARYING as
the principles held by Mr.. Bryan have been.

lie has mustache, although the stvle is SIM

that portray Taft in the campaign banners give

but his voice in an alleged canned talking ma

CHAIRMAN MACK ON WRONG SCENT.

In ONE of his many predictions Chairman
\ Mack, of the Democratic National Commit
tee. classes Delaware as a doubtful State and the
Cleveland Leader rises to remark that if Mr.
Macl's predictions are all as accurate as that con-
cerning Delaware they will fly wide of the mark.
The Leader shows what we have frequently
pointed out that in comparison with its popula-
tion the number Of votes cast Delaware is one
Of the staunchest Republican States.
For dozen years Delaware has steadily cast
a Republican majority equal to about 10 per cent.
of the total vote of the State. There is not much
variation. The margin was largest--4354-in
1904. u was smallest, for presidential years in
1906, when it was 5000 In the light vote of
1000, for congressman, no State ticket being in
the field, the Republicans won by SIoa
Now these figures are equivalent to puralifies
ranging from 10000 up TO 10000 in the vote of
Ohio. They are like margins of from 100000 up
to 10000 in New York They do not huctuate
materially except the total vote is light full
Chairman Mack is evidently grasping at
straws, and when he bases his expectation of the
election of Mr.. Bryan upon the carrying of such
States as Delaware he is confessing that he has
little real hope of the success of Mr.. Bran.
