The Remedy.

At the Methodist church Sun
day morning Rev. C. H. Kamphoef-
ner criticized the address of Senator
James X. Vardaman Of Mississippi
delivered at the recent Chautauqua
in this city and from the viewpoint
of the Freeman-Tribune Rev. Kamp-
hoefner has the better of the argu-
ment. Undoubtedly many of the
evils of which the Mississippi sena-
tor complains exist, but the remedy
he suggests is no remedy at all. His
panacea is to repeal the fifteenth
amendment and to amend the four
teenth. This, the senator insisted,
would close the door of hope to the
negro and as he would no longer as
pire to political or social equality
he would be more easily managed.
Rev. Kamphoefner took the oppo-
site view. To close the door of hope
to a race cannot make them better
people or more law abiding citizens.
Education and Christianity will
solve the problem. In some states
of the south the law prohibits white
teachers in colored schools and the
white people generally discourage
the education OF the negro. Rev.
Kamphoefner said that when James
X. Vardaman was governor of Mis-
sissippi he did what was in his pow
er to keep the negro in ignorance
and used his great Office to discour-
age their education. He riddled the
senator's statement that the genu-
inc African cannot improve his men
tality after puberty by referring to
a number of men of that race who
had gained distinction and he call
ed attention to the fact that recent
ly a colored student had secured the
honors of his class at Harvard be-
cause he had won it, outranking in
all his white competit-
ors.
Thinking men generally realize
that the negro problem is a most
serious one and its solution demands
that the question be faced squarely
and without prejudice. The Free
man-Tribune believes the men who
think as Rev. Kamphoefner does
that the recognition Of the univer~
sal brotherhood of man, the practice
Of the precepts Of the golden rule,
the application of Christianity and
the education Of the negro races
a better solution than Mr.. Varda-
mans plan of disfranchisement and
the closing Of the door Of hope.
The record made by graduates of
Tuskegee college, the colored school
founded in Alabama by Booker T.
might profitably be
considered. 1t was stated recently
in the Congregational church IN this
city by a student of that institution
that not in it's history had one of
it's graduates been convicted of a
crime, and as the Freeman-TribuneI
it this authority stated
that some 900 graduates had been
turned out of that institution. 1t
is very doubtful if any white college,
in the United States can point toi
SUCH a record as that.
Rev. Metcalf also discussed the
vardaman lecture in his sermon at
the Congregational church Sun
day morning and his conclusions
were practically the same as Rev.

PRICES ARE
LOWEST NOW

Thrifty New Castle county house
wives are just now engaged in pre-
serving eggs. Advantage is being
taken of the present low prices and
large quantities of eggs are being
stored in water glass. lime solutions
and other mixtures, so that when the
prices soar up to 40 or so cents

necessary for the housewife to do viii
be TO go TO the cellar and lift the
eggs from the preservative.
Ten years ago the use of water
glass was practically unknown among
householders, but today its use as
preservative for eggs is almost uni
versal. Before the general use Of this
liquid many stored eggs during the
season OF low prices in salt and lime
water The two latter methods are
still used to some extent but one OBJ
lection to them is that the entire
quantity of eggs to be packed away
must be placed away at the same
time. The soluble glass may be dis
turbed at any time, either for taking
out OF adding additional eggs.
The present time is considered the
very best for the purpose of preserv-
ing eggs. because in addition to the
