Concerned About the Negro.

In his valedictory address, Chairman
| Isaac w. Bowers of the Republican City
Committee expressed much concern for
the Negro contingent Of the Republican
party and urged that it be given larger
recognition than it has received in the
past He spoke of the enormous import
ance of the Negro vote to the Republican
party in Delaware and frankly admitted
that never had an election been won by
the party here that was not due to the
support of the Negro voters.
Other remarks were made at the COM
mittee meeting on the same subject, and
there were intimations that the Negro
voters are becoming tired Of being con-
sidered as mere "hewers of wood and
drawers o. water" and would demand
more consideration from the party this
year. But this talk has been indulged in
regularly for many years, without being
followed by action. The Negro voters
always soldly support the Republican
party in Delaware. no matter what con-
tumely may be cast upon them by the
party organization.
Scant has been the recognition ac-
corded Delaware Negroes by the Re-
publican party of Delaware. A few minor
places-and very few-have been their
only portion. despite the fact that the
party could not win victory without
their aid. They are denied recognition
that remotely approaches the value of
their voting strength. Republican party
organs even belittle them and place them
below the racial level of Hottentots by in
variably spelling the word "Negro" in
their columns with a small ''n."
Thus it has gone on for more than half
a century from the first election in Della
ware at which the Negroes enjoyed the
privilege of franchise. Always faithful,
but ever held in the background and de-
MED the substantial rewards of political
victory and valuable service. And thus,
we suppose, it will continue indefinitely. |

PRESS COMMENTS.
MYSTERY OF THE REVOLT.

But tho alarming feature Of the affair
is the mystifying manner in which strike
constantly declared not to be strike
at all--has spread rapidly from one city
to another until the whole country is tied
up, accomplishing this tremendous result
apparently without organization and
without known leaders. Indeed, it nc
complishcs this sweeping success in the
teeth of tho vigorous opposition oil all
known labor organizations and leaders.
The strike had no first cause worth con-
sidering. It's converts throughout the
country have no "cause" whatever. 1t
is as if a nation went to war without even
giving a reason Bad as Imperial Ger
many was, she did not do that.
1t inevitably creates the misgiving that
those who say That this Is not a Strike
are right. A strike is "last resort
reached by men who have grave and real
grievances which they first submit to
their employers and Of which they are
finally denied redress. These 'ioutlaws"
present no grievances. Their leaders
cannot be located for the purpose of dis
cussing grievances. They simply walk
out" careless whether or not cities starve
or millions of fellow workmen are robbed
of employment. There is no "strike
order" There is no warming a mys-
terious whisper, and they are gone.
Hostilities are begun without q declara-
tIon of war.
If it is not q ''strille," what is it3 Well,
IL proceeds by the method of revolution.
Men who desired not TO get higher pay or
better working conditions, but to paralyze
industry, wreck society and breed whole
sale discomfort, might deliver just such
sudden blows. 1t would be absurd and
obviously unjust of course, to charge that
al the men who have thus 'downed tools"
without previously parley are consciously |
engaged in preparing the soil for revolu- |
ion. Apparently their sense Of ill-usage |
has only been played upon shrcwdly by |
,thers. But what of the others?. Are |
hey looking as far ahead as revolution2 |

TIME TO GO FISHING.

Its time to 90 fishing againl
The blues In the skv and the brecz
Is calling the city-worn men
10 come to the lakes and the seas.
There arc dreams to be dreamed in day
There are wonderful pictures to see,
IL - time to be up and away
10 the haunts where the soul can 20 fre,
Life cannot be lived in one place,
Not in toll can mans story be told,
Hard grow the lines in his face
Who thinks but OF silver and gold;
There are beauties of nature to love,
And joys for the joyous to claim,
And the chorus OF birds from above
Is ns sweet as the whisper OF fame.
The body needs rest from the grind,
The soul needs it's moments OF peace,
The tired and troublc-worn mind
Needs respite and rest and release;
And each in his turn must put down
His duty and portion of care,
Must turn for time from the town
And find true contentment somewhere.
It's time, almost time TO depart
From the heat and the turmoil Of strife,
The struggle for place and its smart,
And gather the Rladness of life:
Though each one must follow his choice
In forsaking the struggles of men,
Soul and body, once more rejoice
That it's time TO go fishing again.

New Warden Of the Workhouse.

While service and results are the only
actual test of official capacity, there Is
much assurance in advance in what may
be looked upon as an appropriate and
acceptable selection of a man for an
important public position. And this
assurance is literally impaired in the
selection by the Trusteessof the New
Castle County Workhouse of Mordecai
S. Plummer for warden. Mr. Plummer
has entered upon his duties. and although
he takes the position under conditions
that bespeak difficult problems for awhile,
there is every reason to believe he viii
meet them successfully.
Warden Plummer has had official
experience of character that should fit
him effectively for his new position. For
many years he held the important post
of special inspector for the Postofiice
Department, the duties of which brought
him into intimate contact with law
breakers, and enabled him TO acquire
knowledge as to the best methods of
treating them when under enforced con-
fnement as punishment for their wrong
doing. He is thus in considerable
measure well-equipped for the duties of
such position as warden of a penal
institution, and satisfactory solution OF
all the intricate situations that attach to
it.
AS we have said, experience alone will
bring actual information in respect OF
matters of this kind. But the man who
proves faithful and efficient in one public
office is very apt to prove likewise in any
other to which he may be appointed.
Warden Plummer's record as special
inspector for the Postofice Department
was of the best We may expect, there
fore, he will make an equally good
record as warden at the workhouse. At
least there is every promise Of this, and It
is assured that he will have the good
feeling of the people most interested to
aid him in giving TO the workhousc the
best possible administration.

NEW VARIETY OF TROUBLE.

The reported setting up Of a Republic
Of Sonora in the Mexican State of that
name, is novelty in Mexican revolutions.
Whether it was learned from Sim Fem,
we do not know. 1t may be the result of
translating self-determination into Sc
cesslon. Frequently, of course, Mexican
rebel leaders have raised their standard
In one or more States. But always hitber-
to this has been in the name of the govern
ment of the whole of Mexico, and with
the aim of obtaining control of it. Car
rama himself began in that way against
Huerta. And in the heroic days when
Juarez stood out again Maximilian, the
seat OF his precarious government was ia
the far north of Mexico.
Actual separation of a State from the
general government has not been attempt
ed before in Mexico. 1t is clearly for
hidden by the Mexican Constitution,
and doubtless President Carranza will
bring strong forces to bear against the
Republic" in Sonora. When the facts
come to be fully known we presume that
this announced secession will be only
another way of writing revolution-New

SAVE NOW OR SUFFER LATER.

The farmers of the country warn us
that, despite every effort they can make
the production of food, cotton, wool
hides, and other essentials this year will
be reduced by lack of labor. Manu-
factnrers warn us that costs of fuel, labor,
raw materials. and taxes will keep down
production. The railroads warn us that
with present rates and equipment they
cannot carry the load. So astute finan-
cier as Frank A. Nandcrlip warns us that
the country Ia in tho midst of an era of
false prosperity, and unless vital changes
are made in the industrial situation an
explosion is due.
No careful citizen can afford 20 ignore
the warnings. Ii is not within the prov
ince or power of the ordinary man or
woman to solve the entire economic
problom but it is clearly within not only
the power but the duty of each individual
to guard himself and his dependents from
the threatened crash.
The situation has come of its present
pass largely because Of extravaganza.
To be sure, there are thousands Of men
and women who are struggling valiantly
merely to live. But there are more
thousands who are inclined to believe that
because they are taking in twice as many
dollars they should spend twice as many.
Tho price of sealskins is reported TO
have increased so per cent wholesale since
last October. That is because there is a
demand for sealskins where sheopskins
might do. If the present period of high
spending and low productivity continues
sealskins viii be in less demand. We can
imagine ourselves offering a seakkin To
our grocer in exchange for ham. o sack
of -four, and can Of tomatoes, and being
greeted with raucous laughter If, on
the other hand, we offer the cash, we know
we will get what we need. The reasoning
applies TO numberless luxuries and TO
many ecessities.-Chicago Tribune
