Member Of Commission Asks
That Public Give Help
in Work

Peorge B. Miller, a member Of the
Delaware Commission for the Blind,
urges all persons 10 read the report
Of the Delaware Commission for the
Blind, setting forth in detail just what
the Commission and the blind men it
aims to assist are doing After you
have made yourselves acquainted with
the splendid work the Commission IS
doing under the careful and conscien-
tious direction Of c. Reginald Van
Trmp. says Mr.. Miller. -" will you
please make a careful search through
out your homes and get together all
the chairs that need recanine or other
wise repairing and either notify the
Commission at S05 West Eighth street.
or send them 10 that address. This
will give the blind chair Gamers work
for the summer and when you have
returned from your pleasant summer
vacation, refreshed and ready for the
fall and winter campaign, you will
find your chairs ready for you and you
will be infused with a spirit Of genuine
satisfaction that you have helped 70
keep busy and. therefore happy, those
men and women who. are deprived of
the most precious sense that has been
bestowed on man.
When examins your chairs do not
forget to look at your old carpets to
see If you don't want to have them
made up into good durable rugs See
if you should not replace or add to
your supply Of market baskets and
clothes hampers with the strong we'll
made ones furnished by the blind
workers Look over your stock Of
brooms and make up your mind to buy
only those made by our blind friends
which are as good as any that are
made
Surely the great purpose Of the
Blind Commission to make these un-
fortunate members of our community
self-supporting must appeal to all Of
you. Then this fact also should com
mand your sympathetic attention, that
these men and boys, women and girls
are desirous Of becoming useful mem
bers Of society. They seem TO have
a great ambition to be doing some
thing II is not better for US, better
AbA tANAls ICitCl AlI lnr community
that We should make the very little
effort necessary to accomplish this,
rather than to make them objects OF
our charity Of entirely the wards Of
the state?
Il noticed Wednesday q man who
was walking with orutch, going from
door 10 door soliciting aims. and I
could not but think how much better
of he would be II he would learn to
use his hands and brain so that he
might sit and work and be spared
the weariness of walking And my
next thought was Of our usually cheer
ful blind workers, willing 70 work but
without sufficient orders ahead to keep
them busy all OF the time
Friends. the thousands of homes in
this city could furnish sufficient work
10 keep these men and women busy
throughout the entire year Do let US
make the effort to keep them supplied
with work and hold up the hands Of
Mr.. Van Trump. who so courageously
snd disinterestedly bears the burden
of this splendid, humanitarian and at
the same time economic work"

THE NOMINEE.

IhE NOMlNkE.
From the Dover Index.
To say that we ara highly granned
with the nomination Of Governor VIII
son for President would be to Put It
mildly We have been confident all
along that the progressives would
control the Baltimore convention and
that Wilson was the strongest nan
that a progressive democracy could
name The convention was a long
one and the battle was a stubborn one,
but as Mr.. Bryan says. it was worth
It. To have the party take its right
ful place as the exponent of the pro-
gressive movement sweeping the coun-
try is no small satisfaction, but to
have it stand on a real. progressive,
live platform and behind real, cour-
agous. honest man like Governor VII
son. whose record leaves no slightest
doubt as to his sincerity and -Vn-
compromising courage, is a Victory
that every liberty-loving, patriotic,
honest citizen. Of whatever past afiilla-
tion, can be proud We have no word
20 say as to other candidates for The
nomination many Of them are good
men and would have made strong
candidates. Many Delaware democrats
preferred Clark OF Harmon. and they
had right to their preference. but
we think that the conditions that pro-
vail just now demand man like
Governor Wilson.

SENTIMENT FAyoRs HAIF HoIn,Y.

I oCAL sentiment in favor Of weekly half-holiday
- for merchants and their employees in this city
is overwhelming That such a desirable state Of public
mind exists is due largely the intelligent ssgres
sve work of pubiospirited They have labored
early and late among the local merchants in their
effort to bring about the halfholiday for Summer
That they have succeeded in converting so many OF the
Wilmington tradesmen 10 their way Ct thinking shows
that they advanced conclusive arguments in favor of
the plan
Thousands Of the customers Of the merchants have
signed petitions asking that the Aafholiday plan be
adopted Scores of letters in its behalf have been
written by representative men and women A large
majority of the merchants have promised TO cooperate
in making the plan successful if the others will do So
In short, the customers and most Of the merchants
in favor of It. Therefore it would be pity to per-
NIT anything 10 intervene TO defeat the plan
The merchants and their employees are among
the hardest worked persons in the city Wilmington
There are no two classes more entitled TO weekly
halfholiday and the benefit Of its recreatve effect
Now that has been made clear that the customers
whose disfavor alone to be feared favor such
half-hoday u would that the merchants should
be only too glad TO take it,
One week OF July already has gone The idea was
70 have the half-holiday plan apply TO July and
August The hot weather is here in earnest and it
seems 10 US that If the half-hoday campaign is 10
be Of use it should be put in effect as quickly as
possible.
