Help This Worthy Cause.

Beginning today, bazaar under the
management of the Physicians anc
Surgeons Hospital will be held in The
Mckay property, on South Broome street
below Front street, recently purchased by
the hospital. to be conducted as place for
treatment of victims Of contagious diseas-
es. The bazaar, which will be continued
all of this week, day and evening. is Tor
the purpose of raising funds to aid in the
consummation of this worthy and highly
valuable project
Wilmington has long had need of hos
pital for contagious diseases. When the
latter prevail, people are subjected to the
danger of an insidious spreading of the
maladv, on account of the lack OF a
proper place for treating the cases. The
victims have to be quarantined IN their
homes, together with members of their
families, as the regular hospitals cannot
give accommodation to cases OF this
character Quarantining of houses IS
both troublesome and expensive, and also
it is not as effective as isolation Of all cases,
combined with efficient professional at
tention.
The entire community, therefore, is
interested in the purpose of this bazaar,
and the entire community should be
equally interested in it's success. All our
people, not only in Wilmington, but
throughout the State, should extend some
form Of encouragement TO the bazaar, IN
order that the net proceeds may be effect
i've
There will be much at the bazaar to
interest. please and instruct the people,
and in this manner to make adequate I'M
mediate return for what they may ex-
pend Such a worthy purpose should at
tract sympathetic and cooperative at
tention everywhere. So let the people
turn out in force during the week and make
this most commendable enterprise the
gratifying financial success it deserves to
be.

Counting on the Negro Women Vote.

According to a New York City special,
the National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People expects the vote OF
Negro women to control the Presidential
election this year, as it will constitute the
balance of power. The association presents
the following estimate Of the addition TO
the electorate by the votes of Negro
women Illinois, I25,0O0; Indiana, $4,000;
Kentucky, 10000; Maryland, 10000;
Michigan, $4,000; New Jersey, 75.00o;
New York, 125, 900; Ohio. 100000.
The estimate for Maryland is probably
much too high. as the Negro women Of
that State are not likely TO number more
than 10000, but the other estimates
probably are about correct.
This addition. of course, is expected to
vote solidly for the Republican cause in all
the States Added to the vote of Negro
men, it should be a valuable asset TO the
Republican party.

It's Pro and it's Anti Sunragette,
This highly adaptable Marion-ette.
Though puppet, il really seems to speak.
But behind the scenes stands a powerful
'clique"
TO furnish big words and phrases set
For this awfully ingenious Marion-ette.
Its sonorous gable brings equal cheer
TO the son OF toll and the prohteer
For the drys it S dry, and the vets it s wet
This very ambiguous Marion-ette.
Its fayorite word is ''normalcy,"
Which means get back TO what used To be -

Babe" Ruth was put out on the first
strike in the New York Supreme Court, a
few days ago He had asked that tribunal
to restrain a movie concern from display
ing film showing the great 'swatter'' in
the act of making home run, but the
justice ruled that as the screen presented
pictures of real current news, it should not
be deprived of the privilege Of including
such an interesting news item from its
operations. Babe" Ruth making home
run is a subject of the screen that thrills
thousands who see him in the act and its
counterfeit presentment thrills millions
who cannot see him on the diamond in
person. building up his amazing per-
formances in our popular national game.

dition of oppression and threatened

ing justice for force in the settlement of

to come will be born to a heritage OF
wastefulness and bloodshed. The world
wants and must have some substantial
advice, some com pensation for what

duty as our soldiers have done theirs
the voters of the nation will not fai

we will win.
Appeals to Women
"Will the women of America who
gave their men to cur uniform prove

dering, impossible the recurrence Of
such struggle as the war just ended
1t is profoundly significant that the
movements for woman suffrage and
for the prevention of needless wars
proceed simultaneously. The immediate
ratification of the equal suffrage
amendment will assure victory for the
Democratic party on a platform favor
ing the ratification of the treaty with
out destructive reservations. The women
of America stand for peace and against
war.
"Never before has a nationwide poll

Of international justice, humanity and
peace. The opposition has taken low
and untenable ground. Let the Demo
cratic party occupy the heights Never
again will any great political party in
America openly invite disaster by
trifling with great problems"

viously been approved by the national
committee. A Pennsylvania delegate
moved that the resolution go back to
the resolutions committee and got
several seconds. The ayes got it by
the chairs decision.
A point of order also was made
against it, which was sustained by the
chair, and the resolution went back to
the committee.
Chairman Cummings wanted to make
an announcement and Chairman Robin
son recognized him as "the delegate
from Connecticut" He rot the resolu-
ton for the women's national commit
tee placed back before the convention
for further consideration
Mr.. Cummings explained that it was
only the formal resolution creating the
committee for another four years and
taking in women members. "If the
Democratic party is in earnest" he
said, "in taking in the women of our
country in its deliberations, we ought
to support this resolution and adopt
it,"

gan reading message to Mrs Woodrow
Wilson from the women of the land.
The message was one of women's ap-

devotion to the President during his
illness The convention voted to send
the women's message.
With that the convention adjourned
