FRY ANSWERS BULLOCK ON
PREFERENTIAL VOTE PLAN
Mr.. George Bullock. city.

Mr.. George Bullock, City.
Dear Sir:-ln reply to your article
in The Sentinel of April &c, signed
"a Voter" ! wish to say that we
seem to be in accord in one respect
and that is that the preferential sys-
TEN of voting as adopted in the Grand
junction charter is bad. Your rem
edy seems to be to eliminate the
dropping of the low candidate when
second and third choice votes are
counted, stating that then we would
have an ideal system. asked you to
demonstrate your proposition. You
have not done SO.
In your last article you asked this
question: is it better to be shrewd,
crafty, cunning and deceptive, or
candid and honest in dealing with

THE WORKERS.
CBy WILL +. LAWLE

(By WILL f. LAWLER)
At the hour when the dawn and the
darkness meet
And the city to life is stirred,
over the stones of a cobbled street
Comes the weary patter of little feet,
And the sob of child is heard.
The factory waits and its siren calls.
And the feet of the child obey,
Though often behind those frowning
walls
With weakness the frail little body
falls
At the close of bitter day,
Work is her portion through endless
hours,
Watching flying thread,
Though God. in His wisdom, ordained
that flowers
And the music of songbirds in leafy
bowers
Should be hers, as her right, in
Preach till the end OF the world is
What do the slavers care9
Profits they see in babys tear.
Nor man nor the devil nor God they
fear,
So they get the lions share.
Work is a. privilege man should claim
Children should sing our songs.
That this is not SO is a nations shame
And you, my brother, and | are to
blame
For the little workers wrongs.

at all, because his vote would not af-
feet the result as between b and T..
As | said before, under the prefer
entail system Of voting. a voter votes
first choice for the person he actually
wants elected, and then turns around
and votes one, two, three or more
times against him, depending upon
the number Of candidates and the
number of choices counted
Now, Mr.. Bullock, be candid and
honest; and, If you have some real
argument, present it; but do not try
to deceive the public by some catchy
phrase imputing dishonesty to 9TH
ors. Yours respectfully,

the public?"
There can only be one answer and
that Is to be candid and honest mot
only in dealing with the public but
with everyone else. That is just what
want you to be and demonstrate
your proposition.
In another place in your article
you say: Mr. Fry's Reipinder' in
your issue of the 22nd inst. is a mere
attempt to juggle with the ballots by
assuming to deduct from Els total
the votes that had been cast for 9TH

ming and deceptive" statement, be-
cause 1t has the resemblance of truth,
but is not the whole truth.

NEGROES AND LYNCH Law.

VA7 HILE we agree with some of the sentiments
w contained in the following editorial in the Mil
ford Chronicle surprised that that while
expressing its disapproval Of lynch law a punish
ment for crime. should suggest that negroes in our
State will be compelled to resort to lynch law TO
punish murderousminded members of their
race.
The shooting Of two women by a negro in South
Milford Saturday night last is another result OF
failure the part OF police authorities to run down
criminals who perpetrate of any and all char
acter, by permitting them to escape to other states
In this case the negro came to Delaware from Nlr-
gina where he Is reported to have been the leading
figure in a criminal and made his escape, and
stopped in Delaware where he found safe harbor untl
his crime had been forgotten. His associations here
soon encouraged his criminal inclinatons, and the
horrible crime of last Saturday night is the result
and the criminal again fed and If he finally makes
his escape from the State, II Is fair TO presume hat
Pennsylvania or New Jersey the points from
whence he will next be heard from as having COM
mitted another crime. WE DO NOT BbLlEVE IN
LYNCH LAW AS A PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME,
BUT THE CONDITION HAS GROWN so BAD, THAI
THE NEGROES OF DELAWARE WILL BE COM
PFII.ED TO HANG THE CRIMINALS WHO COME
TO THIS STATE AND COMMIT CRIMES ON THE
FIRST PROvOcATION. II is to that class OF negroes
the conditions among the labor in the canneres ana
the berry fields may be largely attributed as tney
brow-heat and swagger lawless examples TO the
younger set Of native negroes, and by this metnod
create lack of respect for law and order ms mas
caused the canneries to turn down colOred hep anu
bring people from the cities to work in the canning
season. and which has shut the negro out from taoe
opportunities generally The negro question is reach-
in. stage in Delaware, where Il must be taken up
by those capable of reasoning out the needs OF the
state and the negro race Delaware needs the labor
of the negro and his ability TO be law abiding czen
and prosperous but It is up to the negro to realize
that employers do not have to be annoyed by the
erratic and unsatisfactory rendering OF that labor
II that be not an invitation Delaware negroes to
take the law into their hands and hang men OF
tleir own race who outrageousy violate the law,
words count for nothing.
Our advice to the Delaware negroes is to do moth
ing of the kind but let the orderly processes Of
the law deal with all such The fact that the
police authorities fail to down all such criminals
does no justify a resort to lynch law, even by
negroes against negroes If the negro men in this
State wise they will permit those police authori-
ties to take care of their business, bear the
odium of failing TO take of it. With the negroes
encouraged by the whites, applying lynch law to each
other, and getting away with 1t, it would be only
short time before whites also would indulge in the
passionate recreation of lynohing negroes
Delaware has had lynchngs than it should
have had and there should be of them by

George Tooth. a gardener of Nor
wood, England, tells a romantic story
of his life, and promises to repeat
It in the courts, where he proposes
to prosecute his claim to the peerage
of Waterford and its estates. compris-
ing $1,000 acres. Tooth has been gar
dening about fifteen years, and dur
ing the. whole of that time has been
collecting evidence to support his
startling contention. II is understood
that he is now receiving financial
support from a lady who believes that
IL is a case for official inquiry The
man says that he is the legitimate
son of the fifth Marquis Of Waterford
who in 1895 shot himself following
an injury to the spine sustained in
falling from his horse. A son was
born TO the marchioness at Chesham
place on March %, 1878, and accord
ing to the announcement In the Lon
don Times, It was still born. Tooth
contends that the child was born
alive, and that it was himself
His story is that as a newly born
infant he was placed in the care of a
Mrs. Duncan, who brought him up at
the expense of the marquis. The
marchioness died in April, 1873, and
there was no recorded issue of the
marriage in any registry Office. Tooth
alleges that the death certificate of
the marchioness, as registered at
Somerset House, was without a doc
tors signature. The maiden name Of
the marchioness was Rowley. She
was a daughter Of a major in the
army of Bombay. She was first mar
ried to the Hon. +. c. W. Vivian, a
member of Parliament from whom
she was divorced. In 1882 she mar
ried the fifth Marquis of Waterford
at the registry Office of st. Georges,
Hanover Square, London.
On behalf of the present marquis it
is stated that Georgina Tooth, a sin
gle woman and a cook in the service
of Mrs. Vivian, became a mother in
Holborn Union on January 25, 1872.
and died there. Mrs Vivian. il is
alleged, caused the child John Tooth,
to be removed. to the Franciscan Con-
vent Noting Hill. for few days,
after which he was placed by her
maid in the care of a Mrs Jones,
whose address is not known Further,
il is asserted that this child after
ward was handed over to the care Of
Mrs. Duncan and is the present
claimant.
In 1874 the fifth marquis married
Lady Blanche. daughter of the eighth
Duke of Beaufort. by whom there was
three children. His son. Henry de Ia
Poer Beresford, who succeeded him,
was drowned about two years ago.
The latter's son. John Charles,
whose mother was the fifth Marquis
of Landsdowne. a boy twelve years of
age, is the present holder of the title.

From the Georgetown Sussex Repubh-
can
If conditions do not improve we viii
be driven to reso-t to our old vagrancy
laws. and lazy, idle individuals be put
to work The situation is clearly up
to the colored man himself. He can be
a useful. efficient and respected member
of the body polite. This truth ehould
be impressed upon him by every leader
of that race. They should organize a
campaign. a campaign of education and
instruction along this line. and white
people should help. They should be urg
ed back into the rural districts and
away from the debasing influence OF
the towns.
The white race should see that our
laws remove from them those debasing
influences to which they are such ready
victims The self-respeoting colored
man and woman must separate himself

Commenting upon the sensational escape of Charles
Taylor and Homer Cleveland Virgins the later
Wilmng gton boy, from the Eastern Penitentary. the
Harrisburg Patriot says: "One would hardly expect
that criminal who engineered the daring escape from
the Eastern Penitentary in Philadelphia would be
caught less than three weeks after the grounds of
his family home Tha. is what happened TO Charles
Taylor, the seasoned robber. 1t thought it would
be long time before the public got Taylor back while
all expected Homer Cleveland Virgins. the amateur
thief and murderer, who got out with Taylor would
be located inside the week. So far Virgins has kent
from his home in Wilmington and it looks n
he had taken the highways TO the open country and
made good his escape The Patriot seems to forget
however, that the world is small place for a crmi-

wOLCOTT AND SALISBURY.

From the Dover State sentinel
That was a curious little episode
in Delaawre political history when the
Kent County Attorney, Mr.. Wolcott,
refused to meet and confer with Sen
ator Salisbury, in the matter of the
governments proposition TO aid the
county in road building. Evidently
Mr. Wolcott is not able as a public
official to divest himself of his per-
sonal likes and dislikes. But Is that
mot what he should do? We are not
entirely sure that it was necessary
that this duty Of comforting with Sen
ator Salisbury was obligatory. Some
one else could have done it Just as
well. and the doing of it by some one
else, that is. the delegation OF the
duty of doing It to some one else
would have avoided the manifestation
of a little personal dislike between
two Delaware State officials, that does
not reflect credit either on the state
or on the Democratic party of which
both Wolcott and Salisbury are mem
bers.
However it is our opinion that in
showing this pettishness, Attorney
Wolcott wilfully neglected a duty ne

to exchange the low rate of wages cur

These men do not take kindly to
British trade unionism. They are a

pcrtant factor in the present situa-

Portuguese came. He is the working

The minimum was suggested for the

that these wages are not a. much as

This may have been the case years
ago, but recently there has been a
marked reduction in the cost Of liv-
ing. and a glance at the salaries paid
to government officials will show that
25 shillings a day compares favorably
with the wages accepted by trade
unionists in England. Roughly speak
