AN ELECTION TIME FRIEND.

To the Editor OF The Evening Journal (:
Dear Sir-After hearing Senator Sauls-
bury on two different occasions, also
after reading the Defense" OF his vote
on the suffrage question written by one
who has been benefited politically and
financially by the said senator, / can
not help but express my feelings on the
question OF his reelection.
Like most Democratic politicians. the
only time that Senator Salisbury is
anxious about the welfare Of the work
ingman is when he Is also anxious about
his own political welfare. Several years
back when the said senator had great
deal 10 do with the running OF the old
Wilmington City Railway, no one ever
heard him Senator Salisbury express
worriment over the wages and the
working conditions OF the employees OF
the trolley company. They were the
poorest paid employees OF any trolley
system in the East, and their working
conditions could not have been worse.
Il is only In the North where any
Democrat is anxious ~ about the well
fare OF the working man In the "SOlld
Evening journal., 1918-10-25

South" where Democracy (9) reigns
supreme they either have the worst
labor laws in the country or in some
cases have no labor laws. IL is only
in the North where the vote is close
that he Democrat poses as a reformer
and friend OF labor.
When the President asked for the
support OF the Senate for the suffrage
resolution, he distinctly stated that II
was necessary war measure. Yet the
only excuse that has been offered by
the opposition is the fact that the pass
age Of the resolution might enfranohise
the colored women OF this and the
southern States. Yet these same sena-
tors who voted against this resolution
are content TO live In this country in
safety while the brothers and some
OF the same Negro women are dying in
France that the world may be made
safe for democracy. Truly some one
has said that II is the action OF these
senators that has put the mock in
democracy.
Further, Mr.. Salisbury himself has
publicly declared that he was respOn-
sible for the passage OF the Workmen's
Compensation Law OF this State. What
OF the work OF years OF the Hon. Syl-
vester d. Townsend. Jr.. and also OF the
support OF the Republican members OF

10 ask in advance that Senator Robin

here in the near future, go into detail
and explain what the Democratic party
has done for the workingman ln the

in the country are those in the three

n. E. A. Special to The Evening Journal.
PARIS, Oct. 25-Hundreds Of Czecho-
5lovaks, gainly from Ohio, Pennsylva-
mia, Illinois. and Minnesota, have had
their first crack at Fritz. And they've
made good
The Czech rockies, every one green
tn the art Of soldering. went into action
against their hereditary enemies with
tiny American flags fixed 10 their bayo-
nets.
The story OF their success in their
nrst engagement was told me by two
priests upon their arrival in Paris from
the front. They're "Yankee-Czecho"
and they're proud Of their native land
and their adopted country.
One is the Rev Father Joseph l..
Jaworsld, formerly pastor Of the In
maculate Heart Church Of Plttsburg. He
Is now a captain in the Czech legion
over here and ranking chaplain Of the
legion.
The other is the Rev. Father Alphonse
Biskup, erstwhile curate Of Marie Celle
church in the Oak Park district Of Chi
oago.
Father Biskup was the first American
Catholic priest to enlist as a private in
the great war.
America ought TO be proud Of those
Czech rookies-the way they went over
the top" said Captain Jaworsk.
"I didn't see one Of them waver, al
though they were green and the Ger
man fire was terrific. Their losses were
not severe, and they captured more Ger
mans than they sustained casualties
themselves"
Father Bskup enlisted as a private
when he found no arrangement had
been made TO provide Knights Of Col
umbus volunteer chaplains for French
lnits.
Both priests told Of the JOY and pa
lriotio fervOr that swept through the
ranks OF the legion when they learned
their independence had been officially
recognized by the United States govern
ment.
."The Czechs," said Father Biskup,
fully appreciate the value OF liberty.
] have been with them in battle. And
they've shown that there, too, they can
fight as freemen should"
Private-Father Biskup has been as
signed TO stretcher bearing duty and has
been cited for attending to the wound
ed under heavy she'll and machine gun
flre. When he isn't busy being a pri-
vate- or giving first aid physically, he
takes up the role Of chaplain.
