we find our leading white newspapers
throughout the country discussing the
problem in such an optimistic, fair and
impartial way, as many of them are
doing. Il looks to us as If we still
have some friends among the white
race, North, as well as South left, who
feel a keen interest in our develop
ment as well as in the great injustice
still being heaped upon our heads, and
for no other reason than on account
of color caste prejudice
When papers like THE EVENING
JOURNAL. of Wilmington, Del, make
utterances which have no uncertain
sound as to its fairness toward us. we
are led to feel that a better day is
dawning for the Afro-American. THE
EVENING JOURNAL does not mince
words, but speaks from the house TOP.

THE HISTORY OF CECIL COUNTY.

From Cecil County News, April so
Active work was begun this week
by the editorial board and staff, In the
preparation of the new and completely
illustrated History of Cecil County
Her People at Home and Abroad. The
Town Council room, ON North street,
Elkton is being used as the central
Office, and brancehs will soon be
opened in different towns of the

up OF prominent men from the various
sections of the county, and already a
subscription list has been secured suf-
ficient to assure the success of the
enterprise. The publication will IL
lustrate the wonderful advantages Of
Cecil county and record Cecil's his
tory fully and thoroughly from the
early settlement right down to the
present time. Every interest of the
county will be treated and pictures in
serted of all historic places, river
courses. industries, etc The section
devoted to sketches of the people Of
the county, at home and abroad, will
be a special feature.
Already a large collection OF views
and data has been made, and all per-
sons of the county who can help i'm
any way are requested to call at the
headquarters in Council Hall, Elkton,
or correspond with the publisher, Vic
tor Torbert. Those desiring the his
tory should send in their subscription

Editorial Opinion
SHOULD BE REELECTED.

From The Sunday Star.
Mr. w. S. Lednum has announced
himself as "A candidate for reelection
ms city treasurer. He is quite sure to
receive the nomination, as there VIII
be no serious opposition to him at the
primaries; and If faithful and eg-
iieient service is 20 count for any
thing, he ought to be equally sure OF
reelection. During the past two
years Mr.. Lednum has made a new
record for the treasurer's Office. For
ages prior to his election, the city
treasurer's whereabouts during busi-
ness hours was rather matter of un-
certainty He might be in his office,
or he might not II depended a good
deal upon chance. But we venture to
say that no one who has had busi-
ness with the treasurer while Mr.
Lednum has held the Office ever fail
ed to find him at his post This is
not a small matter. Indeed, it is
rather a big matter. and whether he
is reelected or not he has set a
pace in this respect for future city
treasurers that cannot be safely ig-
nored. Furthermore, Mr.. Lednum
has established a new departure in
the disposal of city bonds by selling
them himself, thus saving about 81 200
of the peoples money, which would
otherwise have gone to the brokers.
| This Is bad for the brokers, but Il is
good for the taxpayers and should be
duly remembered by them Mr..
James j. Cahill, who will probably
be Mr. Lednums opponent at the
election in June, is gentleman
against whom nothing can De said .
but IL is wise plan to reward good
service by appropriate recognition.
and on this theory there can be no
question that Mr.. Lednum is entitled
TO another term as city treasurer.
