ton Of last Tuesday, when the purely
political contest was very close. lay
ton went down to defeat under an.
adverse majority OF more than 5000.
The Negro had at last asserted his
manhood and his independence.
Now, fair warning is served on the
managers OF the Republican party in
Delaware that the Negroes will no
longer consent to be mere party chat
tells. but must be recognized In ac-
cordance with their numbers and their
voting influence in the party. Here
is manifestation of independence
that is most encouraging, and shows
that the Negroes themselves now rec
ognize the truth OF the contention that
no longer should they fairly worship
one political party, by reason of a
fond tradition, but should be as po-
litically independent as other classes
of voters are.

experience has shown that political
parties may be formed and expanded
with mushroom growth in our coun-
try--and with like brief existence.
The overwhelming triumph of the
Republican party at the 1920 election
was an evidence OF political unrest and
dissatisfaction. For no substantial
reason, the people conceived violent
antipathy to the Democ~c',c party.
Notwithstanding 1t had given To the

FAIR WARNING.

The Wilmington Advocate, a news
PAPER devoted to the interests of the
,olored people of Delaware and tho
nation, in its issue of saturday last
printed the following editorial:
Last Tuesday the colored vot-
ers Of Delaware kept their prom
ises. Shortly before the Republi-
can State Convention was held
they implored the party not TO
nominate Congressman Layton for
another term. They said in plain,
unequivocal language that If he
were nominated they would not
support him. The election Of
Judge Boyce shows they kept
their word.
With the eyes Of the colored
people all over the country on
Delaware the verdict of the polls
last Tuesday justified the belief of
their fellows that the race in Della
ware met the issue and acquitted
themselves like real race patriots.
The spirit of independence indi-
Gated last Tuesday must be taken
cognizance Of by the Republican
, party leaders if they would keep
the colored voters in the party.
When n spirit of independence is
once manifested by a group such
a spirit is likely TO grow unless
the things complained of are
stopped. II is for the Republican
party organization 10 either ignore
this spirit or to do the fair thing
TO quen il.
The campaign OF 1924 is just
around the corner. Big political
stakes and great issues Will arise
both in the State and nation. The
burden of responsibility is on the
party for the meeting of these is
sues. Colored voters in Delaware
have shown that to, them race
fealty is more important than
party name.
It is an undeniable fact, eloquent
revealed by the figures of the electio
that the Negro voters of Delaware f.
once demonstrated their freedom fro
partisan slavery. For fifty yea
Delaware Negroes had been a reliab
and valuable asset of the Republics
party, but gaining thereby not Il
slightest political recognition fro
the party they so consistently SUI
ported. They We're denied represent

FILING FEE TO GO.

Both political parties having pledged |
their representatives in the coming |
Legislature to a repeal of the obnox- |
ious Filing Fee law, it may confident |
ly be predicted that repea! will fol-
low. This action did not depend upon
political victory of one party at the
election, but was promised in advance
by both.
Neither party could afford to sus
tain the cause of a tax that was so
obnoxious in principle and so often
s.ve in operation.
The repeal of the law will be a relief
TO the thousands of men and women
who have no taxable income-many OF
them no settled income at all--but
who were compelled by this strange
and Ubiquitous enactment to make
'etUrn just as though they enjoyed
ample incomes. and then-more infa-
nous than all else-pay tax of three
dollars for revealing. in sworn state
ments, their condition of poverty. One
wonders how the mind of man could
nave conceived such a procedure-eo
contrary to all the we'll settled prin-
ciples of taxation.
Conceding the repeal of the filing
fee. the question naturally arises what
form Of taxation will be substituted
in order TO bring in the revenue ac-
cruing from it? What that revenue
will be for the first year of the laws
operation has not been officially dis
closed, and Will not be until the col
lector presents his report to the gov
ernor. II has been supposed the gross
revenue would be more than s250,O0O,
but what the costs of collection have
been is a matter Of conjecture.
To a great majority OF our hard
pressed taxpayers the ready answer
will be that no substitution should be
made. but that the loss of the net
revenue by the repeal of the law should
be met by reasonable economy in ex-
penditure. There is a mcst inviting
field for economy, and there is no
doubt an intelligent consideration OF
this subject would result in economies
thar would affect a saving much great
e. IN extent than the net fling fee re-
ceipts
Stin, the one valid purpose of the
filing fee inposition-to compel all
citizens to contribute some amount
each year TO the public revenues
should not be lost sight of. 1t was not
the exaction of three dollars that ere
ated such a strong opposition 10 this
law but the Ubiquitous manner Of its
assessment and collection.
The capitation tax, heretofore a tax
in name only, might supply the def
cheney and achieve this purpose. The
law authorizes a tax of this character
OF not less than % cents or more than
SIPS. Collection has been a farce, the
smaller amount having been gravely
fixed and then almost entirely ignored
The Legislature could provide for q
capitauon tax of two or three dollars
and arrange for its collection by ex.
isting agencies. so that the net receipts
might be considerable. It might be
