THE NEGROES of Delaware have become ac-
customed to the recurring efforts as made by the
Democratic Party of this state, to bribe some of
their fellows to create dscord within the ranks
OF the Republican Party, with which their race
has been affiliated for fifty years. This current
campaign has not been an exception as to this
activity by the Democratic Party-especially in
the City of Wilmington, where for several weeks
a campaign was conducted and much good mon
ey paid out to the negroes, to forsake' their al
legiance to their proven friends. From recent
observation, this effort, like those of former
years. has fallen and only the individuals who
fell victims to the golden calf" are attempting
to sit pretty as race leaders for the great body

fooled some times as individuals, but as a class

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED by some one that
voters who fail to cast ballot on election day
should, on the second Offense, be put in Jail.
That appears like an extreme penalty. and real
y no penalty by law is needed. The civic slack
ers who do not take the trouble to vote are usu-
ally the worst critics of government as they find
it, They ought to have it brought home to them
that the faults they see in their public officials
are the direct result in part of their own failure
to aid in choosing proper individuals to make
and administer the laws. The unnecessary cost
and annoyance which they think they are suf-
ferng is the penalty assessed against them for
their failure to vote

LaFollette is in close touch with
alien forces engaged in boring from

And who knows the purposes for
this desire for control? 1t cannot be
honest or it would be open and

those that are concealed and sur
rounded by mystery"
General Dawes said in a recent
speech, referring to LaFOllette's
platform, Does he think that we are

High wages, good times generally

The Women's Bureau endeavors
constantly to improve conditions

bends its efforts to provide seats
in industrial establishments where
women workers will not have to

into the heart of American ideals
when he said: childhood and

Two million married women are
in industry in this country to-day.
The majority of these women are
actual bread-winners. In a study
made of one factory town by the
Women's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor it was found that
70 per cent of the bread-winning
women had children and that
three-fourths of these women had
children who were less than six
years old. A home study of 500
of these wage-earning mothers
showed that about one-fifth were
toiling at night and looking after
their children during the day.
Studies of the Women's Bureau
have revealed that some types of
married women in industry gain
far more than they lose by going
into industry while others, par
ticularly the night working mothers
and mothers of little children
whose tired mothers cannot give
them the proper care, lose inn
more.
The Republican party took this
vital fact into consideration in its
national platform. According to
this platform. there is no success
great enough to justify the en-
ployment of women in labor under
conditions which will impair their
natural functions"

MILFORD IS CASHING IN on her investment
in modern ire-ighting equipment, and the div-
dends are larger than the average citizen would
think. Within the past three weeks the Carlisle
Fire Company has been called to combat large
fires the properties directly affected of which
amounted to several thousands of dollars-and
in every instance the blaze has been stopped
without total destruction of the buildings on
fire. The first of these three fires, the Draper
Cannery in Slaughter Neck, was reached within
fifteen minutes after the alarm was given. This
Notwithstanding the distance is about ten miles
from town. Here the firemen extinguished the
blaze before it had communicated to the main
part Of the factory. The saving to the owner in
building and machinery alone was probably
$4,000 The second of the fires was the steamer
George F. Pierce Here, likewise, the firemen
fought and won hard fight. The fire was con-
fined to the upper deck houses and deck. The
hull and valuable part of the steamer was saved
Another saving of several thousands of dollars
Early Saturday morning last the third of the
series of fires, threatened the entire business
section of Milford. Again the Carlisle Fire Com
pany showed that it equals the best of fire
fighting organizations. While the buildings on
fire were not of great value the adjacent struc-
lures in the business section, together with their
contents, were valued at hundreds of thousands
of dollars. For several years past Milford has
been blessed with a real fire department; one
in which the citizens have every right to be
proud, and one that is deserving of every bit of
support given it by the citizens of the town This
support they are getting from all classes of the /
citizenship and their demonstrations of the past
few weeks has more firmly entrenched them in |
the confidence and good wishes of the people of |
this town. Surely Milford is cashing in on the .
foresight of the active members of the Carlisle /
Fire Company who have provided the best to be
had in modern fre-fghting equipment, and have

actual fact available from which to make pol

mingling with all kinds of political opinions as
encountered in the three counties OF Delaware,
within the past week, the thread seems to be
leading and continuous, that the general interest
OF those who will have votes to cast at the cleo

but many who are associated with the Demo-
