AIM TO UNITE STATES
COLORED TEACHERS
Delaware State Teachers AssOcia-
ton Hopes To Merge Rural
And City Instructors.

One of the important questions that
the members of the Delaware State
Teachers Association is likely to con-
slider at its annual meeting to be held
in Milford, Friday and Saturday, No
vember l6 and IL is the merging of
the white teachers in one organization
and the combining of all coIored
school teachers in the organization
now functioning among them.
How to bring about harmony among
the colored teachers of rural Delaware
and the colored teachers of Whining
ton is one of the questions, in fact the
big one, the instructors have to con-
slider. According to officials of the
State Board of Education there are
some differences of opinion between
the colored teachers of rural Delaware
and colored school teachers of Will
mington. 1t is believed this is because
the Wilmington teachers have not
Joined with the rural teachers in their
organization.
At the meeting to be held at Milford,
the middle of this month, the same
speakers who will address the white
teachers will also travel to Dover,
where the colored teachers associa-
ton will be in progress and will adj
dress them on the same subject.
Not until there is complete under
between the TWO colored fac
tons will it be possible for the public
instruction service of Delaware to at
tain the highest efficiency, state school
officers say. This apparent indifference
or something else, whatever it is, is
holding back the advancement of edu-
cation in Delaware to a certain ex-
tent, it is asserted. Efforts have been
made to bring about a complete or
yanization by both the white and col
pred teachers, but up to this time it
las failed.

80 FILL THE BASKET

The red-skinned white potato is one
of the. best table vegetables grown and
this fall they have matured fine in
both quality and size. Last Saturday,
J. L. Stevens, the auctioneer, brought
to the Milford Chronicle Office, a five
eighth bushel basket in which were go
of these tubers, filling it more than
full. Mr.. Stevens is a successful auc-
tioneer and the result of his farming
operations seem to have been equal
to his professional ability. He has
about two acres of this variety of po-
tatoes-not all as large as the sample
brought to this ofice-but of fine first
grade stock.

A TIMELY NOTE
OF OPTIMISM.

The Quitman Free Press con-
tains an editorial set in big-black
type which sounds a splendid note
Of optimism.
Brooks county probably contains
her share of problems and the edi-
tor of the Quitman Free Press,
Roy Daniel, who has been in bad
health but is now, we are glad to
say, much better, would be pardon
ed if he were pessimistic. But no!
The man, or is it his wife,
sounds cheerful note out Of
rumors of crop failure, the ravages
of the boIf weevil, and other un-
favorable CONDITIONS. he writes
in no spirit of resentment, not even
of anxiety and anger. He has not
lost his sanity or his poise.
He still has faith in the rain
bow in the Divine armament, r"
says the Savannah Press. "In spite
of plague and pestilence, ma
laria and other scourges, he sees
the milestones of experience
which are merely incidental to
progress"
The Quitman Free Press in
cludes in its editorial something
like this:
"The country is not going to
the devil, nor the climate to the
dogs. Nobody will starve in
Brooks county. Faith in things,
in men, in God, in the general
scheme-this must remain SPLEEN
did in its integrity and unshak-
en- in its durability. .HelRs great
est opportunity lies in the cyni-
cal mind of discouraged man.
Anxiety is the handmaiden of
fear and doubt is born of cow
ardice."

FIVE-TO-FOUR DECISIONS
BY U. S. SUPREMECOURT.

Justice John Ford, of the United
States Supreme court recently
wrote for the Hearst publication an
article dealing with 5-to-4 decisions
Of the supreme tribunal. He said.
'If the Congress makes a mis-
take We have in our hands the
power to correct it. Should the
President fall into error, that
also may be set right by the
people.
But there is no present power
existing whereby a mistake made
by one judge, whose single vote
overrides the will of the peo-
pies Congress and President,
can be corrected. He never
comes before the people for ap-
proval or disapproval of his acts.
There he is for life, and not the
united action of the country's
entire celebrates can get rid of
him. In spite of all of use, he
can go on to the end of his career
thwarting the popular will, serv-
ing the few and perpetuating the
wrongs and injustices against the
many"
There are two distinct schools OF
thought today on this subject. One
believes that the Supreme courts
decision, whether unanimous or
rendered on margin of one vote,
is and always should be final, that
Congress should not have the power
to override the courts decision.
There is another school of
thought which is opposed to what
it terms judicial autocracy." Some
senators would require annuling
decisions of the Supreme court to
be unanimous, and says the At
lanta Georgian: 4r
"Justice Ford's terse statement
of heIproblem is timely, in view
of the rising protest against ju-
dicial autocracy. The 'progres-
slYe bloc" of senators evidently
intends to press the issue in the
next Congress.
At least a third of the Senate
is ready now to vote against
''five-to-four" decisions. Many
senators would require annuling
decisions to be unanimous.
Eventually every citizen will
have to align for or against rule
by Judges. For while JUDGES
as servants are necessary in a
democracy. judges ass mast ers
are intolerable." / u III

DIOGENES OUT
OF A JOB.

Diogenes, the Greek cynic and
philosopher, was a successful adver-
tiser. He lived in barrel to ad.
yertise himself At high noon he
was wont to light his lantern and
stroll about the streets OF Athens,
I'm search" he said, "of an honest
man." In this way he advertised
one of the prevailing failings of
the classic Greeks. For among the
ancients, the most successful mer-
chant was the biggest skinflint.
The cleverest buyer was the loud
est haggler.
There's no room for a cynic in
modern advertising. Advertising,
today, calls attention to the open
faced honesty of business. It has
standardized almost every article
you can buy. You know what to
expect and what to pay. You don't
have to dicker, bargain, and haggle
to know that you are getting as
good as you give.
Thtat is why it pays to read ad-
yertisements and buy advertised
goods. A products advertising is
the guarantee of its faithful per
formance, its lasting usefulness or
its definite quality.
Ii you value constant satisfac-
tlon-if you want to get your full
moneys worth every time-read
the advertisements.

A MAN is JUDGED
BY HIS CLOTHES.

At first blush a man is judged
by his clothes. Most people are not
much at character, reading but they
do know a gooa4looking suit Of
clothes when they see one They
will meet man wearing an att
tractive suit and they will be fav-
orably impressed with him without
realizing why. Put the same man
in a shoddy outfit and they would
not look at him twice or think
of him once.
Of course we all know excel
lent people who are most indif-
ferent to their dress but we have
to come to know these people and
if we like and admire them it is in
spite of their clothes and not be-
cause of them. These people are
the exception to the rule.
Many man has won success be-
cause of the sudden resolve to get
himself up in a way to make an
attractive appearance and produce
a favorable impression. Dressing
attractively does not mean wearing
flashy nor bizarre clothes. The
clothes Of a properly dressed man
should be entirely unobstrusive. Do
not wear clothes that will center at
tention. You want people to think
about you and not about your
clo4hes. Your clothes should be so
constructed that they blend with
and become part Of your person-
ality. This way you do not wear
them like wax figure in a show
window But the effect should be
there-the general subconscious eff
feet that dmakes you feel pleasant
toward the wearer.
Now some clothes can produce
this effect and some cannot. There
is q vast difference between an
artistic suit and a well fitting suit.
A suit may fit perfectly and have
no snap, no individuality no
class" That is because some
tailors are artistic and some are
nd Some are merely mechanics
who know how to cover you up
without wrinkles and some are mas
ters at the art Of making you ap-
pear at your best. And the clever
ones do it without using bale of
cotton too,
Too few men today realize the
importance of wearing clothes that
integrate with their personalities
The higher you are climbing the
more necessary this is and the NOR,
necessary that your suits, ties
shirts, socks and shoes harmonize
If you de not know how to as
semble' these things you had bet
ter consult your or some haber-
dasher who knows his business. We
saw a senator once wearing tan
shoes with a full dress suit.
We do not care who you are on
what your walk in life, you
