Plans for Negro Schools

Superintendent A. r. Spaid, at
"a recent meeting of the County
School Commissioners urged the
need of more schools in the county
for negro children. In many IN:
stances the children live so far
from the school their attendance
is irregular. In one district the
average attendance is seven. Mr.
Spaid has suggested school on
wheels as a possible help In the
solution of this problem.

STATE TREASURER
Charles A. astings-SusseX.
INSURANCE. COMMISSIONER
William r. McCabe-Sussex.

Much to the disgust of many
Democrats, Willard Salisbury COM
pletely dominated the Convention
and the result was a victory for the
Democratic boss. The only roni-
nation OH the entire ticket that
seems to give general satisfaction
among Democrats was that of
Josiah O. Wolcott, Of Wilmington
for 'Attorney-General aud this was
accomplished, through the personal
popularity of Mr., Wolcott and de-
ss,,ite the opposition of Mr., Sauls-
bury and his henchmen.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Senator Th,cc;s,ias NJ, Monaghan, of
Wilmington had been the unani-
nous choice of the New Castle
County Caucus, for Governor there
still remained opposition i'll the
lower counties and it was fought
out OH the floor of the Convention.
The opposition to Senator Monag-
han, did not seem to be personal
but was principally because of the
fact that he was the Salisbury can
didate. Personally there are few if
any men i'll the party who are more
popular than Senator Monaghan
and the excellent record that he
has made in the General Assembly
demanded the respect of Democrats
in general, but his candidacy had
been distasteful to many solely be-
cause of the Salisbury backing.
Mr.. Saulsbury's victory was not
an easy one by any means as it
was necessary for him to make
deal with Sussex County, to pull
his candidate through. This deal
is one of the many things that
at the Convention which
will probably cause trouble i'll the
Democratic ranks and lose the
party many votes next November.
The deal was evidently a complete
one aud showed how far the Demo
cratic boss would go to accomplish
his purposes. New Castle and
Sussex combined in nominating
Monaghan. The deal was evident
~ to divide all the offices between
New Castle and Sussex. The pro-
gram was nearly carried out and
would have been put over compile
tely but for little slip up which
got Franklin Brockson. of Kent
County the Congressional nolnina-
ton by majority of but one vote.
The slate was to give this no1nina-
ton to Albert f. Polk, of George
town, but the entire program was
to raw for some of the
and at the last minute
just enough turned in for Brockson
to nominate him. AS it was New
Castle got the Governor, Attorney
General and Lieutenant Governor,
while Sussex was given the Insur-
ance Commissioner, Auditor of
Accounts and State Treasurer and
Kent had to be content with the one
office. The Kent Democrats had
one consolation however, even if
the program to freeze them out had
gone through, it would still have
been necessary to let the middle
county have Presidential Elector.

than fair for the community to put
such regulations into the laws as II
sees fit. so long ms they arc fair, for
no one has the right to oppress. or ob.
tain unfair advantage. it is conceded
on every hand, that the inventor is en-.
titled 10 the lust reward of his lnven
ton: but 1t is no Just part of patent
system that an inventor shall have the
control of all the appliances through
which his invention is used and it is
this that was the basis Of the protest
of the Chief Justice. That protest
called upon Congress to make the matter
clear and to pass such legislation as
would relieve tho public from the crush
ing monopoly that might easily he pos
sible in the matter OF great invention
under the present patent laws as con
strued by the majority Of the court.
This discussion on the matter by Mr..
Humphrey Is valuable as clarifying the
rights of the pateutes and also asserting
the rights Of use bv the community
upon Just aud proper reward to the
inventor for his trouble and ingenuity.

HIGH JUMPING RECORDS,

The record Of high jumping is a cur.
ious one. and it takes long intervals to
break high record that is once es.
tablished, 1t was held to be a great
achievement when the record Of high
jumping was above the height Of the
average man. For more than twenty
years the world s record in high lump
ing has been held in America. Some.
thing like forty years ago, when the
Intercollegiate championship record was
feet II inches, that was thought to
be something Of jump: but it would
be insignificant today. though fourteen
years were required to work I'D from
that height to 6 feet This was done
however, in 1891 This height was
gradually lifted, and four years later, at
the International games in New York,
NJ. ). Sweeney pushed the record up
to feet D 5-S inches. This was SUP.
posed to be the highest Jump ever
| 1T was the record. But recently a
young man, George HORNE, student
at Stanford University. raised that
record one-haIf inch. Then again. he
pushed if is inches higher, so that
his highest jump stands at 6 feet 8 Ii
inches, certainly a master jump But
ft is not official, and does not 90 as
| record HORNE, however, will un-
| doubtedly make it n record, or win a
record greater, as he is accompanying
the American team 10 Stockholm, and
is expected to bring back the aurels
for the running high Jump.
All of these jumps, however, are laid
in the shade by the jumping of some
of the Watussi tribe Of Africans. as
recently described by Adolphus Fred
erick. Duke of Mecklenburg, in a book
he has recently published of his ex-
pIorations In the interior region Of
German East Africa. Speaking of
these jumps, Owe copy from the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine). the Duke
says:

trees standing on an incline The ath-

II seems. therefore, that the Caucas.
ian has something to learn from the
Wstussi Jumpers Of Africa. The cham

and would nut all the other high lump

SCHOOLS AS SOCIAL cENTERs.

The season of the year has now come
when people are thinking about their
summer recrcations The various cities
Of the country are taking such means
as are possible 10 give facilities at
home to the people for social pleasures,
entertainments. and various forms of
enIorment during the heated season.

cludes the cooperation of The school
board and the use of tho school houses
as social centers. That CITY has made

next year the matter will take on ex
tensive proportions.
Why cannot something of the kind
be started in Salt Lake? The matter
has been broached number of times,
but without any response from the

sioners, has interested himself very
much in studying this social movement
through the use OF schooIhouscs He is
now in position to give a practical
importance 10 those studies. and we
should be glad to hear from him, and
to note that something can be done
even this year in the way of putting
the schoolhouses TO local use in the
neighborhoods where thcy are situated
They are well located with respect to
the school population, and there ought |
to be no great difficulty in getting So

lt is true that during the summer
season, the Board Of Education arranges
10 have the schools cleaned. freshcncd,

;ary; but there is no reason why this
work cannot go on concurrently with

people surrounding them. The idea that
'choolhouses are TO be kept exclusively
