NEGRO' ORATOR'S ELOQUENT REBUKE. with all his genius and culture, Roscoe Conkling Simmons is a Negro. His college degrees and personal refinement cannot change his blood or color, or make him one bit less a member of a race regarded as socially, economically and mentally inferior to the white. That Louisville is proud of him as a citizen; that the negro people of the country look to him for leaderships much as they did to his illustrious uncle, Booker T. Washington; that men of prominence in the nation accord him fellowship and a place in high councils, does not change his status. For these very reasons, his words, spoken the other day before a gathering of his own race, should spread abus h of shame on the Caucasian skins of some who are conspicuous in the eyes of the nation just now when men of superior learning and vaunted super-race connections, in intrusted with the solemn duty of serving and protecting their country's destiny, join with foreign tyrant cut throats to heap contumely upon the nation's head and tie his hands stretched out to protect the lives and rights of Americans; when snivelling white pacifists join with all the traitor slacker crew to invite national disgrace and ruin, well may this member of an "inferior race" boast. "We have a record to defend, but no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chains we fought to free white men—From Lexington to Carrillan, and returned again to our chains. No Negro has ever insulted the flag. No Negro ever struck down a President of these United States. No Negro ever sold a military map of a secret to a foreign government. No Negro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to fight, to bleed and to die in the republic's cause. Acuse us ow what you will—justly or wrongly—no man can point to a single instance of our disloyalty. "We have but one country and one flag, the flag that set us free. Its language is our only tongue, and no hyphen bridges or qualifies our loyalty. Today the nation faces danger from a foreign foe, treason stalks and skulges up and down our land. in dark councils intrigue is being hatched. I am a Republican, but a Wilson Republican. Woodrow Wilson is my leader. What he commands me to do I shall do. Where he commands me to go I shall go. If he calls me to the colors, I shall not ask whether my Colonel is black or white. I shall be there to pick out no color except the white of the enemy's eye. Grievances I have against the people, against this government. Injustice to me there is, bad laws there are upon the statute books, but in this hour of peril I forget—and you must forget.. all thoughts of self or race or creed of politics or color. That boys, is loyalty." That this address was a notable piece of diction and oratory means little, save as a tribute to the talent and erudition of its author and an augury of what may come from others of his race when given his opportunities. As a rebuke to the traitors and Americans not worthy of the name it deserves the widest reading, while such men as LaFollette, Stone, O'Gorman, Vandaman, Works, Bryan and all their lik, instead, perhaps of being trrred and feathered black should be forced to read these words of a black man—Courier-Journal.

NEW MOVE IN PAPER CRISIS. Board to Supervise Sale and Distribution of News Print. Washington, March 20.—The federal trade commission plans to supervise the sale and distribution of news print paper through a board which will represent all interests concerned. Members of the trade commission just back from New York, where they urged on publishers the necessity for strict economy in the use of news print, say the war situation threatens a new condition in which the news print demand threatens to outstrip production.

MILITARY TRAINING CAMP FOR COLORED OFFICERS. Dr. J. E. Spingarn Explains His Reasons in a Nutshell. 1. No one should make a greater mistake than to think that the army wants colored men to join this camp. The army officials want the camp to fail. They refuse to set a time or place until two hundred men apply, because they know this is the hardest way to recruit men for the camp. They merely want to be able to say that they have given the colored people a fair chance and the colored people refused to take advantage of the opportunity. The last thing the army wants is to help colored men to become commissioned officers. 2. This project is intended to FIGHT segregation in the army and not to help it. If there is enough men fit to be officers it would not be necessary; we could fight for a wide-open army with that material. But there are not enough men. The New York Negro regiment could not find enough men to fill the commissions. When war comes, we do not wish to be in the same position. We want to be able to say: Here are colored men fit to be officers, and you have got to commission them. 3. Those who think that a large number of officers could be obtained from the regular colored regiments simply show their ignorance of the army and of the enormous amount of "paper work" an officer has to do. A good soldier is a man who has military training; a good officer is a man who has military training, ability to lead, and a GOOD EDUCATION. Few men who have not had at least a high school education can ever hope to pass the written examination required of any one wishing to become an officer. 4. Some of my friends say that a few scattered colored men in a white camp would be neglected and passed over, while colored men in a camp by themselves would all get a fair chance. I do not go quite as far as that. I regard the camp as a temporary expedient for the great crisis of imminent war, lasting only four weeks, and yet able to chance the fate of a race. Colored men must get officers' training as soon as possible, and with the whole army against them, there is no other way to get it. 5. The South does not want colored men to get any military training at all; nothing frightens it more than the thought of black millions trained, disciplined, and dangerously effective. That is why Vardaman is so bitterly opposed to universal military training. That is why the General Staff of the Army has decided to exclude colored men from the training if possible, and has reduced its original estimate of 300,000 to 500,000 men. That is why I want it for colored men; and that is The Red PROFESS At Allen By the combined SOLOIST The Redemption, by Gounod PROFESSOR ROBERT G. JACKSON, Director.

Under the manager MRS. MINNIE DOYLE, Chairman Program begins promptly Under the management of the Ladies' Social Club why the colored man who refuses to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to get officers' training is biting off his nose to spite his face. 6. If there is a real war, there will be conscription of all able-bodied men. All pretty talk about volunteering or not volunteering will have to cease; all men will have to go. The choice will no longer be between voicerearing or not volunteering, but between CONSCRIPTION and REBELLION. If conscription comes, will the leaders of the race help their Southern enemies by preaching treason and rebellion? Or will they face facts now, and prepare themselves to go as leaders instead of followers? No race is fit for rebellion until it is trained and disciplined, and has trained and disciplined leaders. The pastor will speak morning and evening. Subject at 11:00 A. M. the word "So;" at 8:00 P. M., "The Christians' Warfare and the Mind of Christ."

Owing to the crisis in paper of all kinds and especially print paper we are compelled to reduce temporarily the number of pages of our paper, until the Governmental Commission shall have established the volume and price of print paper; which was never so scarce and which has soared to an almost prohibitive price. We hope to resume our eight pages within the next two or three weeks. The Kansas City Sun. emption, by MESSOR ROBERT G.

Crews, Editor. This idea of having to go through the same ordeal of uncertainty nearly every time the Missouri Legislature has a session must by this time be wearing upon everybody's peace of mind. It's a damnable and extremely intolerable nuisance, but about the only thing we are able to do, it seems, is to go through the usual line of procedure—send a delegation there to remonstrate which action only seems to serve as temporary relief, for as sure as the sun sets some bushwhacking legislator will feel himself dutybound to resubmit another "Jim Crow" bill at the first favorable opportunity. It does not require the services of a clarvoyant to tell you about how much patriotism occurrences of this character instill into a man. You know and I know—we all know. They do not seem to realize, or care to realize how much we are writhing under the humiliation of such open, arrogant setting forth of the Negro as an inferior—a horse or a mule. Mr. Crews, my primary object in writing you was impelled by an idea I have that might help some. There is one thing certain—it can work no harm. I want to speak of some observations I have made just recently. I work out south and travel the Troost avenue line every day. Recently my hours have been changed, I now start to work at 8 o'clock every other morning and also leave work every other evening at 6 o'clock. Just about the same time girls and women employed as domestics and men of the laboring class are in the habit of going to and from work. I was at first agreeably surprised to notice colored girls and women employed in such large numbers where, as I recall, a few years ago there were very few in comparison. But since then different things have happened in such a manner as to put a damper upon the enthusiastic part of the surprise. A man never in his whole life saw a dirtier, more unkempt, hoarier looking aggregation of colored people than those that traverse the Troost avenue line daily. Language cannot be invented that is too strong to denounce such wanton neglect of personal cleanliness. The Troost avenue line is one of the most important arteries of transportation in the city carrying as it does, thousands of the most fashionable people of the city and the department of our race on this line—taking everything into consideration is to my mind, of extreme importance. There is of course an excuse for poverty but is there any reasonable excuse for a woman who gets on a car with a dirty stocking hanging halfway over her shoe-top and her hair looking like a wet mop? Or a man who boards a car with lime caked all over his coat and the back of his neck looking like a stove brush? A clothes brush or a little soap and water and ten or fifteen minutes of time would be all that is necessary to remedy either of these evils. I know you have observed these same things, Mr. Crews, and I can imagine just how you have felt. And you of course understand that there are a lot of colored people daily riding the street cars who look as neat and as tidy as anyone could wish for. But they are away in the minority—the other, the careless, slouchy class engulf them like a tidal wave. On the other hand, to draw a comparison, you cannot help but observe how white girls—poor, hard-working girls, such as laundry-workers, etc., girls earning from maybe not over $3.00 to $5.00 a week salary—how carefully they are of their personal appearance. How they take a cheap garment and strive to make it attractive—they strive to hide their manner of making a livelihood and they succeed! Colord girls can do the same. Simply because she is working in a kitchen is no reason why she should go to work wearing a gingham apron and with her shoes bulging at the heel. I have taken up more space than I intended, Mr. Crews. Can't sweat! be done to remedy this AT ONCE. Can't be taken up in the churches and at lodge meetings and in a justifiable manner at public gatherings? I feel sure that the satisfactory results would more than repay such an effort. With a sincere hope that you will give this matter your valuable consideration I assure you that I gladly offer my services in any capacity that you might deem necessary to assist in terminating this pride rending "evil." Yours very truly, ROLAND PATRICK 2318 Flora Ave. You cwe to your wife, mother, daughter or sweetheart a box of delicious fresh chocolate candy or a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream, at Smith's Drug Store, corner 16th and Tracy.

On account of our limited space this week some of our out-of-town news was left out, but will appear next week. The various night schools closed Thursday night after a very successful school year. The Negro attendance at all schools was more than 1,500, with 27 graduates. 32,000 Negroes in Kansas City and not one invited to participate in the preparedness meeting at Convention Hall Saturday night. Well, Jim Reed will save us. It will be at least two years before another "jim-crow" law can be introduced into the general assembly, and another year before such a law can go into effect. In the meantime colored people should strive to make themselves as unobjectionable as possible while riding upon trains and street cars. It is reported that the attendance of Negro children in the elementary schools is very unsatisfactory. In a measure this is due to the very high cost of food and clothing but to a very great extent it is traceable to a lack of economical management and genuine interest on part of the parents of children. Definition No. 2. A "white folks Negro" is one who will find some excuse for not patronizing the Negro lunch room, drug store or even the saloon, but who will lie around places of this sort run by other races and take any sort of treatment and discrimination. And some of these are so-called race leaders, too. As a matter of simple equity it is not right for a colored physician to depend upon his own race for his living then divert his drug business to other races by accepting rebates which, after all, the patients have to pay. One who depends upon his race for a living is morally bound to manifest in return some race loyalty—something besides big talk. From the Detroit News. The first industrial plant in the country employing negro labor exclusively was opened here the other day by A. Krolik & Co. Fifty girls are employed to make trousers and several are clerks. The factory eventually will employ one hundred men and women all negroes, it is said. The factory is virtually an addition to one already operated by the Krolik company and employing white workers. Israel Cohn, superintendent, believes that higher efficiency could be obtained should a plant be set aside exclusively for the use of negroes. Women's Clubs. THE T. C. G. CLUB.

After a brief illness of about ten days Florence Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith, died of pneumonia. Thursday, March 15, 1917, at their residence, 1817 Paseo. She was born at Carrollton, Mo, December 15, 1900, and at a very early age she entered the public school of that city and made very rapid progress. From there she was taken to Tulsa, Okla, again entering the schools, she was considered a very brilliant pupil. In 1912 she came to this city, finished the ward school in 1913. In 1915 she attended Western University, and last year entered Lincoln high school, taking up third year work and was loved by all the teachers and all who knew her. She was ambitious and looked forward to the day when she would be a teacher in the schools of this city. Her body was taken to Carrollton Sunday and the services were conducted by Rev. Harris of the Second Bap tist church, assisted by Rev. Abbot of the A. M. E. church. Very impressive services were rendered and the family wishes to thank their many friends for kindness shown during her illness and the beautiful and profuse floral offerings. A number of relatives and friends mourn her demise. "In the silent shade of Lincoln grove, In a narrow casket bed They have placed our darling daughter With the car" and peaceful dead; With the flowers wreathed about her And the lilies upon her breast; Wake her not, for Jesus called her, Sweetly, calmly let her rest."

SOUTHERN STATE SONG. A charge to keep I have, The Niggers to restrain; A never dying faith for power, To bind them with a chain. To serve the present age, Our pockets we must fill; Make Niggers work for wages now, And never pay the bill. Arm me with zealous care, To make them know their place; And, oh they servant, Lord, prepare, To rule the Nigger race. Help us to watch and cheat, The Niggers on the sly; As sure if they don't vote for us; They shall forever die. When Butler May, famously known as String Beans, stepped his foot upon the Monogram stage platform last Monday evening, there was a wild roar of actual applause from an audience which completely filled the house to see what String Beans, the greatest stage metamorphose known in history, was going to do, and he did something sure enough. Here is what he did: He was attired at a blackface sailor. He said that President Wilson had sent for him to join the nevy, but he had made up his mind that he was not going to fight, and if he decided to do any fighting that he would fight liquor—that's all. He had one good song about some one was enticing him to steal, but he objected, and in the chorus he told that he is eating and sleeping, has good clothes and is satisfied. He said he had dined with President Wilson in Washington, but they dined in different places. He said he had told Wilson in his interview that Uncle Sam was not his uncle, that his uncle's name was Abraham. He told of a trip to Mexico, where he went to interview Villa for the President. He said that when Villa found out that he was from America he turned a cannon on him and the cannonball chased him side by side across the border line back to the states. Say! what's the use of standing Still and hopeless, hopeless, at the hill; The prizes, most desired and rare, Are only won by those who dare.
