Eat less meat. drink lots OF water;
also get from any pharmacist four

spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous

NEGRO WOMEN
And THEIR YOTINl

AND THEIR VOTING
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-Allow me through the columns
of your paper 20 answer the editorial
in Thursdays (Feb. 25, 1915) Every
Evening regarding the result OF Civ
ing the cOlored women of Delaware
the right of suffrage.
Tho article in short said that all
colored women would vote the Re
publican ticket regardless of the char
acter of the candidates and would
consequently add more votes TO the
Republican party which would he un-
fair TO the other political parties.
1t is indeed very unfortunate that
the editor of the Every Evening is
not better acquainted with all classes
Of colOred women He certainly must
be judging us all by a few. If the
editor would take a census of opin-
ion among all colored women, just
in the city Of Wilmington. he would
find many of them who are anti-suf-
fragist and do not desire to enter
politics; others would vote for the
man and not for any particular party,
while others would identify them
selves with some one of the various
parties.
cannot imagine how any person
could be so narrow as to think all
colored women reason alike. We are
descendants of Eve, just like our
white sisters and il the editor took
the time to investigate, he would find
that the minds of colored women
work just the Same as the minds of
white women. We all do not belong
TO The same denomination. We differ
widely in our religious views. II
would be just as sensible to say all
colored women are Methodists or
BaDtists or of any other denOmna-
lion as TO say we all would vote the
Republican ticket. An investigation
would show that in every denomlna-
tion Will be found some Of our wo-
men just like white women and the
same thing is true of all other sub
lects. We differ on school problems
in short we have women in our race
who are interested and have opin-
ions on all live subjects OF the day
, We have our own individual beliefs
and opinions on all subjects.

however, for the ship purchase bill
No one knew where the proposal
came from originally They knew
that the President sponsored IT. and
il proved that his influence was sufii-
cicnt TO rush it through the House
under high speed toward the close OF
the session But it was indicated at
that time that action by the House
would be considered sufficient vindi-
cation for the principal hacker of the
measure.
II is idle for the administration TO
think that the bill can be pushed
through the Senate at this late day in
view of the determination OF the
opposition. The word that comes from
the White House to make a last at
tempt can hardly be complied WITH

(The Sunshine Mani


Keep thou the heart Of hope,
Iifc's toll is not in vain;
BY vale or rocky slope,
In sunshine or in rain.
There is a will that works
A purpose pointing true,
lie fails alone who shirks
What he is called to DO.
Above the storm and strife,
Unseen but ever near,
Are boundloss springs Of life
To quonch the thirst OF fear
Keep thou the heart Of hope,
IL anchors deep in power;
Not those who bhndly gopc
Shall iiAd the bud and flower.
But those who patient still,
See through no lighted way
With eyes of faith until
The rise and shine of day.
Who walks through howerless fields
II seems to earthly eyes,
But Keeps the faith that yields
The fragrance Of the skies.
Keep thou the heart Of hope,
All things await and just
Beyond the vale and slope,
Above the dream aud dust.

New News Of Yesterday
A Relic From Appomattox
Court House
By Holland.

One Of the anecdotes associated
with the life of Thoreau which has at
traced especial attention in England,
where the first biography Of Thoreau
was published, describes a walk which
he had with an English friend, Chol-
mondeley by name, at a time when
this English admirer of Thoreau visit
ed him at his home in Concord Chol-
mondeley was a man of wealth, a stu
dent of nature and also of literature.
He haH been fascine.ed by the reading
of Thorean's book which described his
life in his hut at Walden Pond. He
therefore visited Thoreau and took
many walks with him. Upon one oc-
casion Cholmondeley said TO Tncreau.
How are you able to find so many
Indian arrow heads as you do?"
Il find them almost always when I
take WALK" Thoreau replied. "Very
likely there is one on the ground here
where we are standing" Having said
( this. Thoreau looked closely az tho

one" He licked it up and gave it to

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

With the coming of spring, there
is usually an improvement in bust
ness irrespective of conditions.
There has been in this country de-
preston existing for several years,
This was caused largely through per-
sistent adverse legislation which re-
strained capital and made investment
hazardous. AS is always the case OF
extreme law the pendulum will re-
turn, but in this case the return has
been so slow that the commercial
machinery did not act quickly A
little more legislative oil has been
poured onto the rusty bearings and
there is naturally quickening OF
industrial speed as shown in the re-
sumption of steel mills. Railway con-
ditions are improving, due to reliev-
ing legislation and in the industrial
centers thousands of men have been
restored to their former positions.
The effect of the industrial revival
will slowly work it's way into the ag-
ricultural sections and betterment
will begin to show later One thing
is true, however, and that is the ag-
ricultural sections have suffered less
than any other and the general refer
ence is made that, the most healthy
conditions can be found in the middle
west. The season promises better
things. Crop conditions are bright
and business is plainly improving

grant aliens leaving this country
was greater by 2,240 than the total

THE OUTLOOK.

The result of a survey of the bust
ness conditions of the country which
included interviews with 700 of the
nations most prominent business
men has just been made public by
Harris, Winthrop & Co., Of New
York. The undertaking from which
the final results were obtained rep
resented the work of weeks, and the
expenditure of much labor and mon
ey as we'll But the outcome was
the concensus of opinion of men OF
affairs in every section of the coun-
try, with every industry and resource
represented.
What these men hold is that the
country cannot fail to go forward
commercially and industrially if the
people desire such progress. The
means for advancement are at hand,
and the need of it is keen. That is,
the country is ready to do business
because it has SO many demands be-
ing constantly made upon it for bust
ness to be done All that is requir-
ed now is that supply and demand
shall be articulatad.
The New York firm believes that
improvement in American business is
certain to come this year. The opin-
ion is based as much upon knowledge
of existing facts as upon the corpor-
atoms confidence in the good sense
Of the people. The nation has no
love for anything that suggests in
ertia--least of all for that quality
in its business affairs. Careless the
public may occasionally become, but
chronically indolent neyer.-St> Joe
