Sewer Discussion MIR. Armstrong Urges
Cooperation

newark, Lei.
Editor OF the POST
At your request | write short let
ter on the sewerage question. The
Sanitary Commission appears to be
criticised by some fer slow action, and
IT might be well to inform the public
what has been done so far by this Com
mission. Through the courtesy of Mr..
S. ]. Wright, who furnished two auto
mobiles nine OF the commission in
spected the sewerage system of Mer-
chantsville, N. J. The disposal plant,
which ! might describe as cement
vault 20 feet square into which all the
sewage runs, was something new to
each member OF the Commission. By
natural processes (no chemicals being
used) the sewage, after passing
through filters, comes out water, 90
per cent. pure. The main pipe is I2
inch terra Gotta, and the house con-
nections, three inch. One man at a
salary OF fifty dollars per month does
all the work. The plant was very
what it should have cost on account
of quicksand which they encountered
in the construction of the work. The
Commission gained new ideas, and
was well paid for the trip and after be-
ing dined sumptuously at the Manu-
iacturers' Club by our hest, Mr.. S. J..
Wright, We arrived home in the even
ing, after having had delightful ride,
feeling well satisfied with the days
journey.
The Commission will visit Swarth-
more and inspect that system. The
writer went there himself in the sum-
mer and found the cost of the sewer
age system there was $I7,ooo-the
main terra Gotta pipe used was I2 inch
and house connection 3 inch The
plant was constructed in 1885 and up
to this time a manhole has never been
opened. The writer also wrote to per-
sonal friends in Smyrna, Dover and
Milford in regard to the sewerage
question. Smyrna has system OF
sewerage-!he main pipe being eight

inches and house connections three
inch. Dover has two and a half miles
OF main sewers. The main sewer pipes
vary i'll diameter from "a inches to ~
inches-with the lateral sewers from IL
down to 8 inches. Merchantvile,
Smyrna, Dover and Milford have bond
ed indebtedness for their plants.
a friend of mine, who is one OF the
best citizens of Milford, writes me
that we have sacrificed several lives
through the lack of sanitary condi-
tions, and for this reason he would
not send his son to Delaware College.
He also adds that he knows of other
parents in lower Delaware who have
sent their boys to other States be-
cause of the lack of sanitary condi-
tons in Newark.
He believes that ii the present CON
ditlons are to continue the College
may finally be removed to Wilmington
The first thing to 90 is to ascertain
about what the cost of construction

DELAWARE CAMPAIGN

with the political issues clearly
defined, the only element OF uncertain
ty is the injection Of the question OF
license or no license IN the SenatoriaI
and Representative Districts. and ii
is impossible to iorSee what effect il
will have. 1t is most unfortunate that
this element should find a p ace in a
campaign which should be fought en-
tirely on other issues, but it has al
ready been forced to the front and
candidates for the Legislature will
have to take their chances.
One thing is certain, however. No
Republican or Democratic candidate
for the Legislature should be permit
ted, under penalty OF removal from the
ticket to pledge himself, one way or
the other, on this issue to any man or
any set OF men. In the first place, 1t
is clearly a VIOLATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION for candidate Tor
public office to give any kind OF pledge
in consideration OF the promise, direct
or implied, OF votes at the election. In
the second place, is is clearly
AGAINST PARTY POLICY and
party interests to do SO. No party
candidate has a right-asde from the
inhibition contained in the Constltu-
tion-to dicker by means OF pledges
with outside elements. He runs the
rick OF injuring the prosnects of his
party by entering into any such al
liances. 1t is the du;y OF party can
didates to do all they can for the sue
cess Of their party, and no candidate
has a right to jeopardize his party S
interests for the purpose of advancing
his individual cause. For this reason
it would be advisable for PARTY
COMMITTEES TO WARN CANDl-
DATES THAT A VIOLATION OF
THIS RULE WILL BE MET WITH
SUMMARY REMOVAL FROM
THE TICKETS.
As we have stated, no man can fore
tell what will be tn result OF the injec-
ton of the license or no license ele-
ment into the campaign. Generally
speaking. it's effect will not be notice
able. 1t will not affect the State tick
cts or the county tickets. Its main in
huence will appear in the Senatorial
and Representative districts"
III NhN epoNS, Poit W "'' >''No''e,'
from the Every Evening on the cam
paign is some very good and timely
warnings.
We have only this to add-that after
everything is said and done, We sim
ply want candidates in whom the peo-
ple have confidence. We want men
who will waive aside party promises
and chickering's, men who will repre-
sent their constituents and do the right
thing.
What the MAN is and what he
stands for as a man is the main issue.
And while the committees are warn
ing candidates against the violation of
the Constitution and party principle,
let them take some of the advice to
themselves. Furthermore that while
the committees are urging the cleo
ton OF certain candidates that their
own interest may be furthered, let them
be careful that they do not jeopardize
the party as well as their own inter

RECOGNIZED MERIT

| FAR too many OF us look upon
America as the ideal land. of oppor-
tunity and waxing enthusiastic over
our democratic ways, look with scorn
against the snobbery of European
courts. Far too often do we speak
Slightingly (and without knowledge)
OF lines of royal blood in comparison
to our every man is born free and
equal theory, meaning to each and
all, to every man a chance Too many
OF us strike a pose OF liberality to our
fellow man, that when the search
dices are revealed. The Americans
are inclined to refuse to take sec
ond place in any phase of life or work
and are indignant when in our reward
to merit, we are asked to step aside by
the descendant OF long line OF Royal
ancestry.
Booker Washington. who spoke in
Newark in the early summer and made
such favorable impression upon ali
who heard him, was entertained this
week by the King and Queen at the
Charlohenland Castle, the country resi-
dence of Denmark's royal family.
1t must be a pleasing thought to
the colored race. out OF slavery only
forty years, to have a representative
recognized at the courts of the old
world. To think OF a little negro boy
tramping barefoot ior 500 miles to
knock at the door OF hope-Hampden
Institute-and ior that boy born in
slavery to be received in the halls of
Royal blood; to have the Queen of
Denmark, who traces her family from
long line of ancestry of Europe's
noblest and best to sit and talk with
him, the man up from slavery on
his work, showing knowledge of
what he has been doing, and an ap-
prec;ation OF what he has written
asking for copy OF one OF his books.
The world is growing better, when
a representative Of the Anglo Saxon
.ace i'll the parsonage OF the widow
of K NJ Edward will sit and converse
with a representative of the colored
race.
lh"re is an object lesson in al this
hotl to us, the white man OF demo
c:a.ic .America and to the negro.
That the courts oi Europe should
teach an example OF the recognition
of merit, to AmCrlca which is found
ed on the pfinciple OF opportunity, Is
a striking illustration of our duty.
This viii necessitate a readjustmenr
OF our idea OF true worth and laying
aside OF some OF our prejudices
To the negro it means that if he will
follow the example OF his leader and
ask for recognition where honest work
and merit count that he will receive
his just and iull reward
1t means to the colored man that
when he so learns to perform a piece
of work as good or better than his
white neighbor, that the worlds best
Will stand uncovered before him and
give him the thanks and consideration
that good work receives.
Washington will come back to us
as he has before. with his simple, de-
mocratic and sympathetic manners,
preaching the same gospel Of work. In
just that proportion that the people
OF his race emulate his simplicity and
carry out his theory OF work. in just
that proportion will they distance the
days of slavery and advance the in
terests Of their race.

Revs. Anderson and Cilfillan Answer
Voter

Dear Mr. Editor:
Your last issue publishes an inquiry
from Voter. upon which you make
editorial comment, regarding the posi-
ton OF the ministers of the town in
the wet and dry contest. That
there should be any doubt about a
Christian minister's tositioh on
great moral question like this surprises
ME greatly. To be consistent he c
take but one stand For more ,nan
20 years my conviction has been, the
business can never be legalized with
out sin. And with voice and vote, |
have strenuously opposed license, high
or low, or traffic in strong drinks. Dur
'ng all these years no man who has
come in contact with my work, or at
tended the services in my church, has
entertained doubt about my posi-
ton. If Voter is dry he will find
me touching elbows with him in what
| believe to be a great moral struggle.
Ii he be wet ! want to pledge him
the most persistent opposition. 1t is
my profound conviction that the pep
pie OF rural New Castle counrySr are
convinced that the license system is
wrong and injurious and mean to give
no-license a chance to prove its worth.
And when given fair opportunity, it
will verify the fact that it is infinitely
tetter than liceGse.
Yours truly,
G. I. AIDERSON

Editor Of the POST:
1t is useless expenditure OF printers

the local option question, as | did not
know there was anyone within the
reach Of your paper who did not know
that am unalterably opposed to the

And now may | ask a question
Why, when voter has asked the min
jsters whose influence is mostly local
to state their position upon this moral
question. does he not ask the proies-
Sors in the college who are teaching
boys from all parts OF our own and
other States, to name their position
on this question.
