could have been presented of
lower Delaware by one who
had eyes to see and appreci-
ate. Far from being back
ward, no section of the coun-
try is more progressive. The
farms are well kept and pro-
ductive. All of the important
roads are paved, and the few
dirt roads are in splendid con-
dition. Modern school build
ings for white and colored are
to be found in every commun-
ity. The towns are well man
aged, attractive and pleasant
places in which to live. Tax
es are low and graft is un-
known. Here there is no
seething unrest OF ruthless
scramble for gain, but a spirit
of cooperative endeavor
springing from common in
terests and love for the State.
There is no enmity or jeal-
ousy between Delawareans in
any part of the State, but
only mutual pride in the
of each section.

@. A. & X. Railroad


1t is unfortunate that the
dreams of the promoters of
the Queen Anne Railroad did
not come true" says the
Journal Every Evenin g .
'When the line was opened 40
years ago it was hoped it
would be the means of devel-
Oping a section Of Delaware
and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland which had been
backward because it had no
modern transportation facil-
tiles. 1t was reasoned that a
line connecting the Chesa-
peake Bay with the Atlantic
coast in Delaware ought to at
tract both freight and pas
senger business. There was
boat connection between Bal
timore and Love Point, Md,
the Chesapeake Bay terminus
Of the railroad.
"The road also supplied rail
connection between towns in
Delaware and Maryland d
which appeared to need such
service. Along the route we're
many farms. The then new
railroad supplied the means
for quickly transporting the
products Of the farms to the
city markets. The company
had shipping facilities at
Lewes as well as at Love
Point.
1T may be that these hopes
would have been realized, ev-
entually, had the good roads,
motor trucks, and pleasure
automobiles not come upon
the scene. This began to hap
pen within a decade after the
railroad had started to oper-
ate.
"The competition was too
much. Various sections Of
the road have been abandon
ed, and now authority has
been given to discontinue pas
senger service over the re-
manning section Of the line,
which is that part next to the
Chesapeake Bay"

We Say So Too!

Pictures and comments in

The Delaware State News,
have caused much resentment
among Dover citizens who
have justifiable pride in the
community. Looking at the
picture published as charac-
teristic of Dover, and reading
the comments, lead to the
conviction that the person re-
sponsible for the literary eff
fort was either stupid or
cracked-brained. The infor-
nation given on Delaware
was as erroneous as the pic
lures were distorted, and the
editors have not accomplished
any purpose except to lose the
goodwill of a number of its
consistent readers. Probably

Bishop Hits NAACP
In Dixie Radio Talk

Augusta, Co., April 9 CAMP
Bishop Collins Denny, OF RichnIond,
Va, and a prelate of the M. L.
church, South, delivered an address
Monday over the local radio sta
ton on the merger Of the various
ranches of the Methodist church.
Among the many things he said
was that the race question was an
important one in the discussion,
ard that no self respecting Negro
would apply to a white church Ia
the South for membership. His OPP
inion is that racial integrity should
be preserved, each race developing
its own religious life.
He spoke of the fight the ma
tional Association for the Protec-
ton Of Colored People," (meaning
presumably the NAACP) had made
to get Negroes in the University
of Virginia, and that the state was
forced to take "their W money"
and send Negroes 10 Northern
schools, where both races attend.
He stated the same thing would
happen in all southern states. The
good Bishop warned the people that
the NAACP was working to break
down every barrier of distinction
between the races, even to their
intermarriage.
He seems worried, because the
white Methodists are not moving
fast enough to prevent the merger.
He says southerners Are hard to
get started, but when they do, by
the grace of God, they are hard to
stop. and they are waking up and
getting started"

Methods of Fighting
Venereal Diseases

Washington, d. c., April
by DR.. H. II. Hazen for AMP
So far as the author is aware,
there has no where appeared in
popuAlr language an authorized
account of the methods for COM
batting the venereal diseases. Of
necessity, such an account must
commence with a discussion of
prophylaxis.
Much has been heard of the vir-
tues of male and female chastity,
as we'll as of the value of the pub
lie prophylactic stations, especially
during the World War. Packages
for prophalaxis r sold in drug
stores in many communities. 1t Is
we'll known that soap and water
almost Immediately kill the germ
syphilis. The ordinary citizens de-
pend, however, upon luck and at
times on various mechanical con-
trivances.
The annual crop of children
born with hereditary syphilis is
some 10000. This would not hap
pen if the mothers we're we'll treat
ed, beginning by the fifth month
of pregnancy.
Only a brave man would say
hat the present generation of
youth is more chaste than the past
generation. Is this due to the fail
ure of chaperonage, ito the auto
mobile, to divorce, to lewd movies
and indecent literature, to liquor,
to drugs, to the modern style of
dress, to the failure of the church,
or to economic stress?
Prophylactic stations i'm war
time France were universally ac-
credited with keeping the venereal
disease rate among the soldiers at
a very low point. Why are they
rot used in America? Do you know
of the influence brought to bear
on Congress by certain female re-
ligious organizations. who felt that
venereal Diseases YER a divine
visitation for what they were
pleased to call sin"
Are "prophylactic packages" of
value to both male and female?
How promptly should they be US
ed? What is the attitude of your
state health officer as regards
their use? What does your physi-
clan say regarding them, What are
the values of douches and various
mechanical pro1ectives?
OF course, there is NO known
vaccine, and no type of injection
has been proven to be successful
against innoculation.
The medical inspection of licen-
sed prostitutes has given rise to a
feeling of false security: in addi-
ton, most prostitution is clandes-
tine.
Unfortunately, the United States
Public Health service has so far
been quiet on the subject of pro-
phylaxis. To have been otherwise
would have been to offend the emo
tions and susceptibilities of certain
worthy individuals or organiza-
tions.
But your physician can learn
from attending the Course on
Venereal Disease Control given by
Howard university at Washington,

Insurance Companies
Unite To Ease Load
OF Security Taxes

Louisville, April 9 CAMP The
Executive Committee of the Nat
ional Negro Insurance Association
met for the consideration of the.
specific problem facing life insur-
ance companies in the payment of
the unemployment tax known as
Tital TX of the Social Security Act.
The individual companies in the
Association have had thier taxes
increased tremendously by this Act,
the total of which is estimated to
be more than 500, 10000. since
the tax for 1887 was 2 per cent
of the payroll and for 1898 will be
3 per cent of the payroll, which in
cludes commissions and all other
compensations paid to agents. The
compenies are seeking an amend
ment to the Social Security Act to
exclude field workers from the OPP
Grafton of the Act. Several states
including Tennessee, Kentucky, Ala
bama, and Texas, have placed field
workers of the insurance companies
in the exempted class; and the
companies are seeking this exemp-
ton under the federal act so that
it will operate uniformly in all
states.
The primary reason of the COM
panies seeking this exemption
arises because they do not see how
their employees (field) can benefit
from the Act. The insurance COM
do not lay off field worker
because of slack conditions or be-
cause of seasonal demand. AS long
as workers can produce and are
efficient, they are retained, and
when they leave the employ of the
they do so permently because they
get better work elsewhere. The
companies, therefore, feel that they
are paying out this money for no
benefit whatever either to the
workers or themselves and, there
fore, seek the exemption.
A committee has been appointed.
consisting of Harry H. Pace, pres
ident of Supreme Liberty Life In
surance company, and general
counsel of the National Negro In
suranee Association: NJ. Stuart,
vice president of the Universal
Life Insurance company of Mem
phis, Tennessee; w. D. Hill, assist
art secretary comptroller of the
North Carolina Mutual Life Insur-
anee compeny; and j. Leonard Low
is, general counsel of the Afro
American Life Insurance compeny
of Jacksonville, Florida, which
committee will have the task of lay
irig before the sought amendment.
1t was noteworthy that in this call
ed meeting of the Executive Com
and executives of membera
companies all companies in the
Association were represented, the
exception of three.
In addition to the specific task
Of working for the exemption of
workers from the operation
Of the Social Security Title TX, the
Executive Committee had before it
the approval of the program 70
The eighteenth annual session o
the National Negro Insurance AS
ISOLATION which will be held in
cleveland, Ohio in the month of
June. This program will be perfect
ed and announced to member com
panies and the public at least 60
DAYS before the converting of the
