AN APOLOGY
(From the whining ton Morning News.)

The Wilmington Morning News re-
grets exceedingly the publication the
other day Of verses headed "The
Would-Be King" We received pro-
tests because OF that publication.
but We did not then make an apology
because after consultation with some
Of those who protested il was deemed
best not at that time TO call attention
to the verses. THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL, however, has done so and there
fore we take this occasion to apollo
gize as deeply as we know how for
the publication and frankly to
admit that these verses should never
have appeared in the columns OF this
newspaper
The intent or implication that
might be drawn from the verses. or
undertaken to be drawn from them,
is not the fixed policy" of this news
paper We surely have no fixed pol
icy" OF printing such matter as those
verses They appeared through one
Of those lamentable mistakes that
sometimes occur in newspaper Of
fees. Perhaps we were wrong in not
making the apology we now make in
the next issue after the publication.
One OF our friends, who was indig-
nant, and justly so. over the publica-
tion wrote this newspaper a letter
and offered to write one for publica-
ton, but on consultation with him it
was considered at that time that II
would not be best TO print such a
letter. This view was an error con-

An APPRECIATION.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Srl heartily appreciate your effort in repudiatng
that piece of inferiorty, "The Woud-Be King" with
which the Morning News adorned its editorial page.
Such an absurdity ought not pass without vigorous
protest from all the Jews OF Wilmington and all other
progressive people well.
The Morning News editor I presume must lack in
knowledge Of Jewish history and is also ignorant Of
the tendencies Of the present jew, otherwise. those
senseless rhymes would never have appeared there.
throughout the world history, the Jew is known as
q constructive factor.
Among the great champions Of mankind we find
the Jew very we'll represented.
The Jews gave TO the world Disraeli Mendels
sohn, Bergson, Lord Reading. a Louis Brandeis
Solomon man who gave his money to finance the
revolutionary war; and many other great men,
II is an impossibility to name all those Jews who
enriched the worlds culture treasure.
Isn't the American Jew wen represented in the fine
arts? Hasn't he proved to be a worthy and sane ele.
ment of the political life in this country?
II over certain class Of people of any creed
whole nation OF that class becomes subject to such
blasphemous and abusive insults as the you deal
belong to the same creed or faith with the duPonts
Morgans etc, become subject to abuse according to
the logic and action OF that rhymester.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH RABINov1TZ
No 227 shipley Street
Wilmington DEL April TO- 1917.
In justice to Mr.. Albert w Cummins editor Of the
Morning News desire to say that we are confident
he had nothing to do with the publication Of the
outrageous attack upon Jewish citizens and their
wives and children. Mr. Cummins formerly was editor
OF THE EVENING JOURNAL, and in our opinion no
man who ever held editorial chair on THE EVEN
. ING JOURNAL would be guilty OF such ofense.
That outrageous. unproyoked and merciless at
tack upon the Jews from an entirely different
source and had its anmus and inspiration through
extra-editorial channels with which Mr. Cummns had
Nothing to do and for which he should not be blamed
Those written in an effort TO drive the
point Of the blade into OF distinguished
citizens Those who planned the attack upon that
tinguished citizen discovered that in order 10 make
it. they must first drive their blade through the re-
lgous belief the serespeet and the tenderest sensi-
blities OF every Jewish man. and child in our
community. The discovery did not deter that extra
editorial coere from making its thrust It struck the
blow, but the blade buckled and indicted its worst
injury upon those who held the ht

REspECTFULLY REFERRED TO THE BIe 1--WE.


VKIAItM weather is almost here
w Wilmington women soon will be wearing light
hued and white frocks
Their costumes will be particularly susceptible TO
song through contact with unclean surfaces in troll
ley cars and other public places.
One Of those women, who prides herself upon the
neatness Of her appearance has written note ask
ing TO suggest to the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company that it the carpet from the
seats Of the end that passengers who
light or white dresses may protect their wear
ing apparel
"If grease other soiling substance be left the
carpet by any passenger through overalls tools din
pals It is impossible for to it and the
result is a soiied a ruined dress" this COM
plainant asserts with the carpet off the such
soing substances would be discernable."
We take pleasure in referring that feminine sugges-
ton to Messrs. Wilson. Heinel Ott Geger and Dame
hauer tho Big Five OF the Wilmington and Phladel-
pha Traction Company, confident, from knowledge
OF their aesthetic temperaments, that they will dc
anything in their power to make Wilmington women
look neat and pretty during the Spring and Summer
Of this Year OF Our War, Nineteen Hundred and Sew
enteen.

WOMEN AND THE WAR.

NETII.MINGTON women acquitting themselves
w splendidly in this preparedness work. In
fact they setting the pace for the Wilmington
and showing marked capacity in all the lines Of work
which they have undertaken.
When Mrs. Charles r. Miller general chairman, and
Mrs Preston Lea, executive chairman, of the Womens
National Defense Committee perfect their committees
and working plans and them, it will be
that every ward in city and many OF the rural dis
trios outside will become hives Of transportation in
dusry under the fostering and direction Of the
committee
All the signs Of the times show that both the city of
Wilmington and the State Of Delaware at large are
fully determined to play proper part in sustaining
the Federal Government in the struggle at hand

WILLARD's WISE WAR WORK.

Mr.. Willard is an eminently practical man. He has

sidering the publication by THE
JOURNAL.
The management Of the Wilmington
Morning News desires TO state that-these
verses in no way, shape or form express
to the slightest degree, or in any respect
whatever, the sentiment of anyone en-
gagged in the publication of this news
paper. no matter what meaning may be
drawn from them or undertaken to be
drawn from them in any manner what
soever.
We feel as deeply panied and sorry
over the publication of those verses as
anyone who read the verses or heard of
them could feel When the Wilmington
Morning News errs. as it has done in
this instance, the only manly course is
to confess that error and this is what is
now done.
Our neighbor, THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL, challenges us to assert that the
various members of the Jewish race
have done anything to deserve such
outrageous treatment at the hands of
this newspaper. OF course we do not ac-
cept such a challenge, in view of our
sincere friendly feeling toward those
named by THE JOURNAL. We surely
think that no person has done anything
that would warrant the publication OF
such verses.
The Wilmington Morning News there.
fore utterly disavows and repudiates
each and every word and syllable or
sentiment or thought contained in these
verses and expresses profound regret
more than we can say in words, that
! thew were printed.

COILEGE sTUDENTs REsPOyD.

IN ELAwARE COLLEGE students are preparing to
~ play their part in the game About fortyHve
graduates, students and faculty members have regis
tered already for the special military course which is
to fit them for examination for the Reserve ofHcers
Training Corps.
Many other students doubtless would have registered
had not been for the fact they are not p
old and, therefore, not qualified to take the course
The faculty is wise in expressing the desire that no
student waste his time in any way in connection with
any preliminary plans for entering the service II
gests that those students who are not REQUIRED IN
leave so work the farms shall remain AZ tber
drills studies until national plans are more def
nitely shaped.
Many Of the younger students have evinced a desire
to take the special military with the idea of
winning places in the Reserve Officers Training Corps
They have been informed that until the minimum age
requirement is reduced, they called the farms
they must rest content with their present
college. That is a keen disappointment to many Of
them.
President Mitchell, at the Governors Conference in
Dover yesterday. made an exceedingly sensible and
gratifying statment with respect 70 the patriotic att
tude Of the student body.
