DENIES CRUEL TREATMENT.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
A short time ago there appeared a
statement in these columns regarding
the treatment accorded James Sharp
and Henry Williams. now serving life
sentences in the Workhouse for the
murder of John Rodgers, near George
town
In view Of the fact that such state
ment was erroneous IN every par
ticular, and IN Justice 10 w. NJ Rod
gers with whom they were making
their home, It is fitting that a true
statement should be given
The two young colored boys spent
four years with the Rodgers family.
Does It seem reasonable that they
would have been mistreated during
that time when they had the redress
Of appealing to the home from which
they came?
Their sleeping quarters we're under
the same roof as Mr.. Rodgers and
his family and their meals the same
as the other members Of the house
hold While both had a certain rou-
tine Of work TO attend to, It was by
no means hard or confining, giving
them considerable time for rest and
recreation, for which they were rein
bursed with liberal amount Of
spending money.
The boys we're treated with kind
ness and consideration and the racial
lines we're never iniudicially drawn.
Respectfully.
p. W. Rodgers.

NEW HOTEL PROJECT.

IT HE city has frequently condemned property
l. for purposes of improvement and there
should be no doubt about what Council will do
with reference TO the hotel proposition which IS
put up to Council by the Street and Sewer di-
rectors.
AS the directors say. the city would receive
enough in additional taxes to pay for the loan,
but even if il didn't. the city could afford TO do
something substantial in order to secure per-
manent improvement like that contemplated in
the new hotel project.
The need Of fine. new hotel building has long
been felt in this city The Journal has been agi-
tating the matter, now and then, and one of our
newspaper neighbors had an excellent article
about it the other pight The question raised,
however whether such building would be pay
ing investment. Time alone would tell that But
in some other cities which erected fine hotel
buildings doubts we're expressed as to whether
they would pay Time in these instances proved
that they would pay
Be that as it may. Wilmington has an oppor-
tunity to secure an improvement that would be
of inestimabe benefit.

was a make-shift of the party, due to the bitter
factonal divisions and dissensions.
But even then the nomination Of candidates by
committees left a bad taste in the mouths of many
was illustrated by the considerable vote polled
for DR.. Joseph H. Chandler when he was can
didate for Governor.
Under the proposed Democratic compromise the
committees would simply shove candidate on
the party, The Journal thinks, at any rate, that
the proper way TO nominate candidates for Office
is at the polls for that is the essence Of popular
government. There should be no government by
committees

One result of the trip of Governor Wilson Of
New Jersey through the West is that it will cause
a tighter drawing of the lines between the Demo
cratic Conservatives and Progressives The New
York newspapers Of the conservative type are be-
ginning to hit the Governor some pretty hard
raps Most of them will probably be found out
spoken for Governor Harmon Of Ohio for the
Presidential nomination before long They will
try to put Governor Wilson in the same class as
Bryan, but he is different from Bryan. Governor
Wilson's recent visit TO Virginia seems to have
lined up that State solidly for him.

Which moves beneath your alien

Because we bring the future, know
We only fight 70 achieve the last
great reunion with our foe;
Reunion in the truths that stand
When all our wars are rolled away.
Reunion Of the heart and hand
And Of the prayers wherewith we
pray;
Reunion in the common needs.
The common strivings Of mankind;
Reunion Of our warning creeds
In the one God that dwells behind
Then-in that day-we shall not meet
Wrong with new wrong. but right

Our faith shall make your faith COM

Editorial Opinion
A COrRT OF BUSINESS.

Kansas City Times.
Not to mention objections arising
from popular opinion, one can see
some practical difficulties in the way
OF Mr.. George w. Perkins suggestion
that a night court of business men
should supersede the supreme court OF
lawyers as the tribunal in matters per-
tanning strictly 10 business. II is not
easy to see in the frst place, how law
and business could be strictly separ-
ated. But Mr. Perkins has at least
called attention, from new angle, to
an interesting development Of our law
courts.
In determining the constitutional
status Of law. courts frequently pass
judgment upon the most intricate
economic problems and problems of
bookkeeping. VIII certain regulatory
statute, for example. permit reason-
able profit? And what is a reasonable
profit in the particular business? Say
that per cent. is declared reasonable.
Then the courts dig into accounts, go
through traffic rstes--if It is a traffic
csse-and by other necessary means
decide the business point as a law
point.
Judge Frank Doster, formerly Of the
Supreme Court Of Kansas. has pro-
posed a different remedy from that of
Mr., Perkins for what, apparently. they
both believe to be an evil The Kansas
jurist thinks that all such business
matters are rightly for the peoples sd-
ministrstive or legislative boards of
experts TO inquire into and determine

country

A former resident of Kentucky VINO was driven
from his State by night riders brought suit for
damages against his prosecutors claiming $4,000
Surprising as it may seem, where the influence Of
these outlaws is so great, he was able to get
verdict for $500, not a large sum when divided
among number Of offenders. But if those who
suffer through the raids Of the outlaws could
cover damages, the practice might be broken up.
The cowardly night riders violate the fundamental
law Of personal and property rights in fact violate
the Constitution Of the United States.

worse, the matter is now become prac-
tlcally a party one in the Senate. A
number OF s-insurgents-who
