Uplifting the Negro.


From The Sunday Star
The Rev. Albert Price is doing
good work in leading movement for
the general uplift Of the colored peo-
pie Of this State. The groundwork
of Mr.. Prices advice to his race is
that they should do something to help
themselves and not depend upon the
white people to do the uplifting for
them. This is a good platform, a self
respecting platform, and if it is gen
orally adopted and religiously OBJ
served it will do wonders for the negro
race in Delaware. In a very able ad-
dress, delivered in Smyrna about a
week ago, DR.. Price said;
81 take the broad ground that the
negro who desires to be good, may be
good, without waiting for the white
man to tell him to be good or to show
him how to be good.
81 take the broad ground that the
negro who desires TO live a clean
wholesome and moral life, may live
such a life without waiting for the
white man to tell him how to do it.
take the broad ground that the negro
who wishes to be thrifty and frugal
and to lay aside something for sup
port when old age comes with its fail
ing sight, weakened muscles and raw
eled nerves, may do so without wait
ing for the white man TO tell him how
to do Il. ! take the broad ground thai
the negro boy or girl who desires t'
live a good, clean and wholesome life
and to be self-respecting and respect
ed, may live such life without wait
ing for the white man to tell him o.
her how to do It.
"The great curse Of cur race In thi
and many other states has been, ant
still Is, that most OF our people hsv'
failed TO respect themselves and u
merit respect from others, They hav

with admiration for its lofty senti-
ments and its clearness Of expression,
but we find no mention of the wide
spread and deep-seated evil that pal
sizes the negro's efforts to rise TO bet
ter things. In word that evil is the
poison of party politics. The white men
who have most to do with the negro
nowadays, and by whom he is most
Influenced, care nothing for him ex-
cept at election times. They want his
vote and debase him to get it, and
then they cast him off, as they would
dirty rag that had served its pur
pose, until the next campaign. The
negro's real friends, who tell him the
truth about politics and his hopeless
part in it, are viewed with suspicion,
and the work of the low politician is
thus made easy, and naturally it flour
ishes to the material damage and
moral degeneration Of his innocent
and helpless victims.
The first step necessary to the up
! lift of the negro is TO take him out Of
politics. If we wish to really help him
we must be more concerned about how
he lives than how he votes; have more
regard to his moral rights than to his
political rights. Twenty years out OF
politics would do more for the uplift
of the negro, than all the preaching Of
all the preachers in the world II
would mean millions of money to them,
and would be Of incalculahle value in
the way Of. affording them an oppor-
tunity to acquire wholesome and self
respecting modes Of living.
DR.. Price is doing good work, but
our advice to him is to first get his
people out of politics. He will need
J help, OF course, but he and his fellow
leaders of the nergo race should labor
increasingly to that end, as the prime
requisite 10 the success Of their worthy
up-lift movement

THE 'SENATORSHIP.

once or twice since the election
which resulted in placing the cleo
tion OF a United States Senator in
the hands of the Democratic MEM
bers of the General Assembly, we
have touched briefly upon this i'm
portant topic strongly urging that
the most representative Democrat
possible to be found be named. We
have heretofore refrained from eX-
pressing any preference or choice
among the gentlemen prominently
mentioned for the Office, purposely
Withholding this preference until
we could at least have opportunity
TO ascertain the wishes OF a major
ity Of the Democrats of this county
on the subject
We believe we have been able
to do this in a manner that is fair
and unbiased. and without the
least disparagement of any of the
candidates suggested, we unhesi-
tatingly state that Willard Sauls-
bury is undoubtedly the choice OF
the rank and file and the best par
ty men in Sussex County. This
is so because they agree that he Is
the logical candidate at this time
and because in every way he de-
serves this recognition. Fortunate
ly for the interests and honor OF
the State also willard SALISBURY
possesses all those qualifications
necessary to place him in the from
rank among the distinguished body

THE street markets in Wilmington we're established
for two purposes One that the farmers
might have an outlet for the sale Of their products
directly to the consumers. The other that the con-
sumers might have the benefit of fresh country
duce at the low prices which usually prevail when
producers and consumers are so situated that they
may engage in direct trade relations
lt never was intended that the farmers who might
enjoy the privileges Of the markets should sell any
thing not raised by themselves Neither il con-
templated that persons who could lay claim to
being farmers should invade tho markets to the detri
ment OF either farmers or consumers. Unfortunately
for the people Wilmington both evils exists There
Of persons in the markets who have abso-
luely moral right be there. and who should be
driven out by the token, it may be said that
there arc many in tho markets who are sell
ing produce they do not raise themselves, and who
should be compelled mend their ways under penalty
of expulsion from the markets.
When a housewife goes into the street markets for
eggs butter sausage, scrappe. meat fowl fruits and
vegetables she has right TO assume that what she is
buying has direct from the farm and that she is
dealing With the producer his immediate represen-
atye Under the system it exists today cold-stor
age stuff valued many thousands Of dollars is be-
ing unloadcd upon unsuspectng public for fresh
country produce That is particularly true with re-
spect 10 meats. butter and eggs.
The time has come when all these nterlopers and
dishonest farmers should be driven Of the street
markets The honest farmers should organize make
up lists Of the nterlopcrs and dishonest and
armed With those lists and proper proof open nego
taons with the Clerk OF the Market or. if necessary
