A GOOD OMEN FOR REPUBLICANS
THE PARTY THAT WILL WIN

IF SIGNS are Alright the citizens OF
Delaware are joining the movement
Of progression that is becoming more
prominent every day. One striking
proOI OF this is the records shown IN
the registration throughout the State
We are waking up to the TACT that
active interest in the political sltua-
ton is not only a privilege but duty
The old theory that politics is run by
a few Office seekers and ward-heelers
shows signs OF decay; the idea that
men of moral fibre and stability can
not enter the arena ior good govern
ment and still remain men, promises
TO become a recollection. That no
man can work for his party and es-
cape being a rascal is the comment OF
ouly those who once played the game
ard lost.
This country is trembling with re-
forms-many OF them by some crack
Drained theorist, true, but there are
movements today in the State and Ma
ton that are not only well meaning.
but have a sense of the practical about
them and are backed by sensible men
who demand their execution.
The methods OF playing politics are
assuming new forms. There is feel
ing among voters that instead OF ac-
quiescing in voting for candidate
that comes out for Office TO go in
search Tor a man that they think fit to
represent them.
The slogan Il am out for office
shows determination that is com
mendable, but is losing favor with the
II - q
that he is best fitted to represe,t his
people shows a conidence in ones
ability that experience has not always
proven satisfactory.
The lam m-out-ior-o office" candidate
is invariably bound by promises that
sooner or later will prevent him iron
best representing his whole consttu
cncy. The candidate brought out b.
others is not thus lampersd, and The
voters have begun to- realize the TACT
The form OF government unde'
which we live-in spite of Trusts an(
Labor sputes-demands parties ant
party organization. But as i'll busi
ness, part!~s may be overorganlzed
The organization must not become So
centralized that the walking delegat,
can call a strike without the vote o
the party Union. Under such a re
gime the interests OF the few are faith
fully looked after, which sooner o
later means the downfall of the many
This is al changing-and well it is
1t means that more tone will be glvel
to the party by good thinking men
and healthier tone would do eithe
party no harm.
We want more good men in polite
and the registration points that way
The party in the State which has il
its organization the best men, the can
didates with the least promises, TIL
party which harmonizes the leader
and these men who have entered tn
arena from sense Of duty and no
desire for gain, 1ill be the one tha
will win at the November election.
And as we approach the pri1narie
and conventions, the party that come
nearest to the demand is the one tha
has given to Delaware her best.

IN other places by the Young Womens
Christian association, and Mrs. Murray
presented the great need of day nurs-
cries to care for the small children
whose mothers are compelled to leave
them without protection while they go
out to earn n living. DR.. Waldron call
ed attention to the fact that many Of
the shacks in numerous alleys in the
city were unfit for dwellings and urged
that they be replaced by brick struc-
lures and that the city further see that
there are proper sewerage connections
In all the houses In the alleys and that
hydrants with sinks be placed inside
each house. He said that the city
would always have a large class Of
poor people and that there would al
ways be need Of small houses, and, in
stead OF closing up the alleys. he
would advise that the houses in them
he kept in sanitary condition and blind
alleys be done away with. and that the
condition Of the people living in the
alleys and courts OF the city be i'm
proved so that these places shall cease
TO be plague spots and the rendezvous
for the idle and the vicious, as many
OF them are at present. The confer
ence favored the formation Of cen
tral committee which shall be made
up OF representatives from all organi.
Zations engaged In work Of any kind
for the uplift OF the alley population
OF the city and that this committee
hold conferences and public meetings
at frequent intervals.

Plans that point concluslTeIy 10 the
opening of the National Religious
Training School and Chautauqua For
the COlored Race at Durham, \. c.,
early in the summer have been def
nitely announced by DR.. James E.
Shepard, the prime mover in the en-
terprise, who has been recently elect
ed president by the board of trustees.
Work is being rapidly pushed on the
buildings, which when completed will
make the institution one of the best
equipped for Negroes in the south.
The purpose of the institution is
peculiarly different from that of any
other for Negroes in the United States,
and provision is made that many may
enjoy a profitable summer vacation
in Bible study, music, education, in
dustrial arts and recreation in a sane
and healthful proportion. The school
is planned on the order of Winona and
Mortified and offers special lecture
series. high class musical events. spe-
cial instruction for teachers and nil
kind of religious workers. DR.. Shep-
ards success in this work is remark
able. and since inaugurating the move
ment he has received the cooperation
of some Of the best and most proml-
nent white and colored men of the
north and south.

MUCH INTEREST IN

 PreSides.

The first days sessions of the Ark arsas Bible Training School, which i; being held here as preliminary to the annual State Sunday School con- yention, which will convene Tues day, were interestingly carried out today and many Sunday school work CTS of prominence from this and ad- joining states delivered addresses and read papers. Seventy-five delegates were enrolled. The sessions were presided over by H. A. Bowling, Of Little Rock, general secretary.
 The program at the morning and afternoon sessions included many fea- lures. but what was possibly the most beneficial and interesting num- Der was the round table discussion conducted by Professor William D. Stem of Kansas, the famous Sunday school worker, on "The Adult Work , It was participated in by many of tho delegates.
 The sessions were held at the First Baptist church. The program for the day was carried out as follows:

But as to the population We have no hint as yet. The showing we be- lieve will be excellent; but it will de- pend in some part on the people then'- selves, whether they will assist in the work, cooperate with the enu- merators and see that they get cor rect information. There are prob- ably always some people missed or overlooked. There are always some doubtful and suspicious of the census officials, who fear or resent an in- auiry into their personal affairs In all communities there are a large number of foreigners and foreign speaking people accustomed to asso- ciate the census with some form of per capita taxation; and there are many other ignorant people, especiAs- ly among the negroes Tn the SouIH' who will find it no easy matter to give the information the government desires. For these reasons the emu 11erators have many difficulties to face which interfere seriously with their work. All who can should aid them, not only by answering the census questions promptly. but by encour- aging others to do so, particularly the ignorant and suspicious.
 Pine Bluff must make the best showing possible. It will be set hack if the census shows that it is mere or less at standStill.

TIE LUCK OF THE DEMOCRATS.

Harper's Weekly Ind. Dem):
 This paper, having been about the first in the country to warn the Dem- ocrats that opportunity was coming their way, will hardly be suspected Of wanting to believe it, now that ev- erybody sees it coming. On the con- trary, as it looms up more fully in view, so that one can see how big it is, we are getting worried about how the Democrats are going to meet it end what they are going to do with it. For meet it apparently they must. IL is hard to see how they can run away from it All these years dur ing which they have been following bryan to defeat on one losing issue efter another, the tariff issue has been lying around perfectly available, but they would hardly look at it. Now the Republicans have thrust the win- hing side upon them. The weak kneed behavior of many of their own leaders in congress during the special session was pretty nearly enough to disqualify them as party for making any use of what has come to them. The opportunity finds MT. Bryan oharacteristically taking up with still another new issue, prohibition which is admirably adapted to split the party wide open again. But the logic of events has been too much for even the Democratic ability to get on the wrong road. The country is doing V hat Cleveland once did. It is fairly driving the party toward salvation.
 If, however, the next house is Dem- ocratic there will be opportunities DIuuQeF1uS. " t lOISSec OuS Ol tACii in the action to be taken when the monetary commission makes it's final report and recommendation for re- form. That subject will demand con- structive, intelligent, scientific treat ment. It will also invite cheap de- ,nagogues to employ their usual ap- reals to ignorance and prejudice. A Democratic majority in the house can
 rot deal with it at all without show
 ing either that they have learned
 something since the free silver craze
 or that they are still unfit for respon-
 sibility and that the business of the
 country would still be unsafe in their
 hands. For the welfare of the coun-
 try no less than that of the party, it
