The American Negro and the Pan
African Congress must see common
interest and make common cause with
the other oppressed and exploited
peoples of the world.
A conference of the oppressed is
the beginning of the end Of the OPP
preston. The result of mere indi-
vidual effort at emancipation of any
kind is so enthusiastically small that
it can be put down as zero, - for all
the social good it may accomplish.
The beginning of the end of Ameri-
can slavery was not in sight until a
group of runaway slaves like Fred :
erick Douglass began to confer and
cooperate with white abolitionists
like Garrison and Phillips. After no.
minal emancipation was achieved, re-
preston, Acknowledgement and seq
regation might have gone on unchal-
lenged for generations, had not brave
black men like W. +. Burghardt Du-
Bots, begun to- confer and cooperate
with just and equally brave white
men, like Moorfield Storey. The de-
vouring of Africa. the raping of
Hayti, and the bullying of Nicarau-
qua will go forward as far as human
selfishness will carry them, unless
those whose welfare is at stake shall
begin to confer and cooperate. The
proletariat, the workers, the produc-
ers of the goods of human society
are beginning to sense common in
terest in common cause, and need
for mutual support, in Moscow,
in Hankow, in Paris, and in Passaic.

If any man feels that the theory
of brotherhood and love works out
in business let him enter into some
field and be disillusioned. Life in its
last and final analysis is an individ-
ual contest and man, both i'm labor
and capital is so keenly aware of it
that he has been forced to adopt the
capitalistic system in self-protection.
True enough, the laborers should
have reasonable hours and livable
wages, true enough he should have a
share in the profits of his labor, but
when he is given these things he, as
a rule, ceases to be man but be-
comes machine and must be SO re-
garded. Capitalism is here for a
long time.
Most black people in business have
been compelled to resort to the theo-
ries of capitalism in order to thrive
and today the black man is both
co-efficient and an exponent of capt.
talism. He is forced to, adopt it.
This newspaper is of the opinion
that socialism as theory is hazy and
idealistic. 1t is a beautiful dream
far removed from the present-day
practices. 1t is not yet capable of
being used to advantage by either
the white or black people of America.

NO EXTRA FEE FOR SAME
AUTOMOBILE TAG NUMBER
Secretary OF, State Grantland Is
Working Out A Plan For Issuance

Because he believes Delawareans
are taxed enough, Secretary Of State
Charles H. Grantland announces
that anyone who wishes to get his
of her present license number for an
automobile next year will not have
to pay any extra dollars as they
have done in years past.
''I can't find anything in the law
which directs me or anyone else to
charge an extra dollar for an auto
mobile license tag" said Mr. Grant
land.
eff they want to obtain their old
number they can do so if they apply
early enough forwarding check for
the regular fee."
Mr.. Grantland is undecided at
this time just how he will direct the
issuance of license tags. As he is
revolving it in his mind now, the
plan that seems most likely is that
throughout the month of November,
those who want to retain their old
license tags may file application.
After November those who have
failed to make such application will
have to take whatever number is
given them. The new tags will ar
rive the first of September and
throughout that month the necessary
clerical force will be instructed as
to how they shall be distributed.

MULHOLLAND WINS IN
FIRST FISHING CONTEST
"J0hn II" Catches Largest Trout On
Trip Last Thursday. Two More Tests

For some time past there has been
friendly rivalry on the part of sew
eral of Milford's hook and line fish
ermen as to whom is the champion
follower of Isaac Walton in this
community. The arguments have
grown lengthy and hot air has blown
freely about the accomplishments of
many of the fly casters. Accordingly
contest has been arranged whereby
the controversy will be settled finally
and definitely; for few days at least.
The first of series of three fishing
parties to ascertain the best man was
held last Thursday, at which time a
party composed of William V. SippIe,
Jr., John H. MulhOlland, Harry Null
holland, all of Milford, and Asa Ben
nett, of Frankford, went to the fish
ing grounds in the bay off LeWes.
They fished long and hard and many
were the tribe of finny inhabitants
which fell for the tempting bait
swallowed it hook, line and sinker,
and made individual members of the
party happy as a result. Fish, then
more fish, were pulled over the side
of the boat, and the men argued on.
In the contest the numbers of fish
caught amount to little. 1t is the
man who lands the largest trout of
the day who is the winner. Weary
from the long hours of arduous Ia
bors of battling with the trout, the
men were still undecided as to the
real winner when John H. Mulhol-
land landed the real prize of the day.
The fish was easily the largest hook
ed and gave snappy fight before it
was subdued and went the way Of
all good fish. AS a result John H.
is growing this week, and warning
the men in the contest of what he ex-
poets to do next week when the Sec
ond trip of the series is staged.

SWEET POTATO PRICES
SHOULD BE VERY GOOD
Supply and Demand Law Should
Operate on Farm Of Growers

If this seasons sweet potato mar
ket responds to the usual operation
of the law of supply and demand,
this crop should bring good prices
this year, according to a statement
issued today by DR.. F. B. Bomberger,
Director of Markets of the Del-Mar-
Va Eastern Shore Association.
According to shipment informa-
tion issued by the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics under date
of August H." said DR.. Bomberger,
'the average condition of the sweet
potato crop for August 1, on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula is 1916 per
cent, as against a ten year average
condition on the same date of IS per
cent. Based on the calculations Of
the Federal Bureau, the condition
noted would indicate a production Of
7,5S5,000 bushels as against 8,441, 900
bushels last year or five year aver
age of 7,524,000 bushels.
"For Delaware a production Of $50,
900 bushels is indicated; for Mary
land 1,479,000 bushels; and for Vir-
ginia 5,176,000 bushels. These fig
ures indicate that Delaware's pro-
duction will be only 74.3 per cent, of

FIRE DESTROYS FINE
COTTAGE AT REHOB0TH
Log Cabin OF Mrs. Elizabeth Truitt
Of Milford Burned Sunday

The attractive log cabin of Mrs.
John c. Truitt of Milford, situated
on Columbia Avenue in 1.-THE Pines"
of Rehoboth, burned to the ground
last Sunday morning at about IL
o'clock. The origin of the fire is
unknown. The cottage was oc-
cupied by Edward J. Graves and
family Of Wilmington, who had
just gone to the beach, when Mrs.
L. H. Raymond, neighbor, noticed
the fire coming from the roof of
the building and turned in the
alarm. The fire had gotten well
under way, however, and the cot
tage with all it's contents, including
most of the wearing apparel of the
Graves family, was totally destroy
ed. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000 partially covered by insur-
ance. The Rehoboth Fire Company
did very efficient work in controll-
ing the fire, for if it had been al
lowed to spread, it would have
simply wiped out the pines COM
pletely. AS it was, the garage of
the Raymond cottage was damaged
by the fire which leaped across the
street. The Milton and Lewes Fire
Companies were summoned, but
when they arrived the Rehoboth
Fire Company had the fire practic-
ally under control.
