The Louisville Courier Journal, edited by the brilliant and versatile Henry Watterson, has some very nice things to say concerning the Negro as a soldier and prospective army officer, which we are sure will be appreciated by the race. It is very seldom that a white journalist can rise superior to his prejudice and talk like this. He says: "In the war now in progress the American Negro will make his first appearance as a commissioned officer in the United States army. Successful candidates at the Negro officers' training camp in Iowa are receiving their commissions. They will be assigned to Negro units in the regular army, the national guard or the national army, as the occasion demands. The mobilization of the Negro troops will begin within a short time under plans row perfected. "The American Negro fights well when well officered has been a familiar assertion, the inference being that white leadership is necessary. There as nothing in the history of black races to warrant the belief that the American Negro must be "well officered"—meaning led by officers of another race—before he can be demanded upon as a soldier. "Negro generals in Latin-American countries are numerous and many of them have been not only brave, but also distinguisher. Gen. Macco in the Cuban revolution was a recent example. Hamilcar, Hasidrubal, Hamibal and other famous North Africans were not of the race represented in America by descendants of Africans. This is true of Cedoyaway, in South Africa. The Zulus, the Swain and other Kaffir tribes, distinguished in modern African warfare, are more akin to the natives of the Atlas region and the Barbary coast than to the progenitors of the American Negro, but the Sudanese are Negroes of the equatorial region of Africa. History contains an ample record of their military ability. The names of Sir Samuel Baker, General Gordon, Col. Hicks, Kitchener and others who fought in the Sudan were made famous in military enterprises which tried the metal of the best European soldiers, with superior arms, acting against all armed but fearless and exceptionally ferocious natives. Omdurman and Khartum are names familiar the world over as scenes of hard fighting. The Negro soldiers of the Mahdi and the Kalifa, in Gordon's day and in Kitchener's, lacked nothing in courage. It is not necessary to go further than Latin-America to look for examples of capable Negro officers. There is no doubt about the courage of American Negroes as soldiers. There will be no doubt about the capacity of the Negro candidates who have won commissions in the officers' reserve camp at Des Moines. Officers by men of their own race, the Negroes will experience an increase of pride. They will exhibit a spirit of rivalry and increased ambition to make a creditable showing in battle. That they—men and officers—will be braved from' when they get to the trenches in Europe may be assumed safely." NEGRO REGIMENT TAKES $113,350 LIBERTY FONDS Brikes, Ariz., Oct. 16.—Twelve hundred and ninety-eight enlisted men of the Negro cavalry stationed at Fort Hunchuen have subscribed $130,850 to the second liberty loan, according to a statement made this afternoon by Captain Dixon of the tugment. This figure amounts to an average per capita subscription of $100.42. Four troops are on border patrol and have not reported in full LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED WEEKLEY ON THE NEGRO Negro! There is no class of people and no ethical question that will not feel the effects of the war. The Negroes of this country who go to France to fight or who replace workmen who go to as soldiers, will demand, and justly so, full American rights. The United States can not stand before the world as the champion of freedom and democracy and continue to burn men alive or lynch them without fair trial. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon this country to "clever her conscience before she can fight for the world's good," by abolishing lynching and enshrining all oppression of Negroes. This is a national problem, more particularly one of the South. In Europe there are practically no rare detritions. A Negro can mix with the white folks as an equal, just as a Spannard, for example, does here. Even intermarriage is not regarded as muggenation. The race problem here is a different matter, however, as even the more intelligent Negro then solves will not acknowledge. The Negro should be a general all the protection and rights that go with American citizenship, but in this is not involved intermarriage or social equality - Iceland's Weekly. The above article from the pen of John A. Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Newspaper, again proves our contention that however much the American white man likes to be fair and to say a word in favor of the treatment to us as citizens and against oppression or wrongdoing, he has imbedded in the depth of his soul the creative inferiority of the Negro, and he can not, therefore, conclude an oral expression or an article from his pen without the disjunctive "but" and this is why it will take, and it must take, such a struggle as the world is passing through to purge this haughty individual from his lofty position of falsity and his fixed mental equator that he prosperiles in his unchristian and unwholesome difference that he makes between man and his fellow man. What intelligent Negroes in this country will acknowledge that the problem of the race is different here to elsewhere? There is not a single work from any of our Negro authors, educationists or sociologists that ventures to acknowledge much more to emphasize the vast difference as this editor would have us believe. Why try to place the proposition of the camel going through the needle's eye? Why strain at a gnat and follow a camel? It is the editor forgotten that every white American can trace his ancestry to some European or Asiatic source, and if his ancestors have solved the problem, hasn't he in this day and generation something to follow in the present solution? The hopping on the intermarriage and social equality subjects is actually worn out, and the real thoughtful white man, when he carefully refuses upon the code of moral ethics he gives to America—black and white—he ought to be ashamed to use his hobby-house in this enlightened twentieth century: "All rights for the Negro, but not intermarriage or social equality." No wonder the Japanese, the Chinese, the Mexicans, feel their superiority over us, as they are entertained in marriage and otherwise socially, and therefore the white man's "into-my-arms" blessing is evidenced with them, in striking contrast with the "out-of-my-sight" curse with us. It surely would be a greater problem than the Negro's if, after the termination of hostilities, a problem of the yellow race confronts America, and her guests at present become the dominating factor, where would their exclusiveness in marriage and social equality be? The Colorado Statesman, proud of its race, is not asking for special rights as one of the organs of the Negro, only pure and unattainted Americanism, and if there's Leslie's "but" in it, he can keep and use it for himself and friends, and his further sympathy may be better unpaid or written. We anticipate a glorious victory for our country in this great universal conflict, and with the results we also have such a purifying of humanity will have taken place that racial differences will be with the turbulent past and a proof of creative equality so fill the hearts of men that the common fraternity of humanity will be established ending this racial separation. —Colorado Statesman. ALLEGED NEGRO MURDERER IS HELD TO BE INSANE Belleville, Ill., Oct. 25.—Horace King, a Negro physician, charged with the murder of two white men during the East St. Louis race riots, was declared insane by a jury in the current court here this afternoon and ordered sent to the State Insane Asylum at Anna, Ill. The jury ordered that he be brought back for trial in the event that he should recover his sanity. Evidence was introduced to show that King, who has been under observation at the county hospital for twenty days, suffers from a delusion that his father and his wife were killed in the riots and that efforts are being made to poison him. Physicians testified that his raind had given way under the strain during the riots. CAPTAIN WILL DECEND 63 MUTINIALS, NEGROES Sin Antonio, Tex., Oct. 25.—Capt. Hirr Shekerjin of the Twenty-fourth infantry has been named assistant defence counsel for the sixty-three Negroes of the Twenty-fourth infantry who will be tried by court mutual, beginning November 1, on charges of murder and mutiny as a result of the Houston riots. Captain Shekerjin has arrived here. Leavenworth Honors Colored Army Officers From the Leavenworth Times. The Leavenworth colored men who will leave Saturday for Fort Riley as part of the final contingent for the national army were duly honored last night at a farewell demonstration and banquet held at the Bethel M. B. church. The auditorium was filled to the limit and even standing room was at a premium. Sneezes were made telling how kindly the people of Leavenworth feel toward O. boys who are going to war and advising them as to their conduct after entering the service. D. A. Jones was the first to sneak. He told of how the men of his race have proved themselves excellent soldiers in most wars in which this country has been engaged and said that the same good record was expected of them in the present con- nict. S. T. Jones then spoke, telling the man that this war was their opportunity to make names for themselves and for their race by fighting for Old Glory. * * * Mr. Jones concluded his talk by admonishing the boys to always act like gentlemen, obey their superior officers, and never forget that it is a United States soldier's important duty to make his conduct both on and off the battlefield such that it will never reflect discredit upon the government for which he is fighting. The next speaker scheduled to appear was Mayor James C. Davis, but found it impossible to be present at the meeting due to conflicting business engagements, so in his sleed Captain Charles Taylor made a talk. Mr. Taylor advised the future "dough boys" to be brave and never get shot in the heel. He also invited them to send a call for help to his home guard company if they run out of men. Capt. Taylor caused considerable laughter and good humor by introducing himself as the mayor of Leavenworth for the time being, and that Mayor Davis is popular with the colored citizens of Leavenworth was evident by the applause given his proxy. Congressman Anthony told the colorful officers and soldiers that he was glad to be present as a representative of the national government and wish them the best of luck in the great service they were about to render to their country. Mr. Anthony pictured the history of the American Seger in the wars of the nation and showed that from the Revolution on down to the heroic fight put up by Capt. Boyd and his colored troopers at Carrival, the black man had never once wavered in his allegiance to the flag and had fought bravely by the side of his white brothers in wars in every war. He further predicted that if they were called upon for the supreme sacrifice the mingling of the blood of white and colored soldiers upon the same battlefields in the present war would go far to do away with any misunderstandings which now divide the two races in some parts of the country. The Congressman assured the colorful officers and soldiers that he as one member of Congress would demand absolute fairness and equity for them, and that he felt sure that the black soldier fighting under the American flag would have the square deal he deserves. Prof. B. K. Bruce next made a very forcible address filled with good advice to the boys. That Bruce is competent to give it is evidenced by the fact that practically every battleship of the American navy and every regiment of the regular army now contains some officer who has received his preliminary instruction for West Point and Annapolis at the hands of Prof. Bruce. Miss Ingram, the principal of the Lincoln school, made a fine address, as did Dr. S. W. Jackson. T. W. Bell proudly claimed for his race that not a single Negro had yet been inducted and brought before the federal courts as a shaker, while every session of the federal courts in nearly every state was busy trying white men for lack of patriotism, nine men having been before Judge Pollock's recent term of court in Leavenworth on this charge. Dr. G. M. Montes suggested that on the departure of the Leavenworth contingent on Saturday, the colated people of Leavenworth meet at the court house on mason at 2 p. m. and match as an escort to the train with the soldiers. Prof. Bruce thought a fund should be raised to provide each of the boys with a blanket, as he had heard there were no blankets available at Camp Funston. A liberal sum was at once subscribed by the audience but it was decided to find out definitely first whether blankets would be Available at Camp Funston and if no such need existed the money would be all to provide the boys with other necessities.

Lincoln's records do not boast of a more brilliant star than he was in his day. Fifty candidates responded to the first call for practice, and if the way in which the varsity fought their way to victory over the strong Lingston team of Chester, Pa., can be taken as a criterion of class and ability, Lincoln University will once more upset the well laid plans of Howard, as she did three years ago, when she sent them down to a 12 to 0 defeat. Howard more than got revenge last year, and the Lincolnites are leaving no stone utummed to reverse this defeat and make the hearts of her many "grads" scattered throughout the West and Southwest beat with joy.

CIVIC FORUM HONORS OUR ARMY OFFICERS Boys Who Won Shoulder Straps Receive Big Warm Welcome by Home Folk. Last night one thousand patriotic men and women braved the rain and cold winds and assembled at Metropolitan hall to do honor to our commissioned officers—Licutenants Geo. Hamilton, Wilbur Stonestreet, Herbert Jumison and Dr. J. Louis Ransom, the first three named having won their shoulder straps at the training camp in Des Moines, Iowa. The Doctor was commissioned several weeks ago and assigned to the medical corps. The celebration was under the auspices of the Civic Forum. It was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings ever assembled in Topoca—and why not? It was honoring a quartet of gallant young men who are close to our hearts. They are our very own, and after watching them grow from wee lots to stalwart men, lauding them as they won honors in school and college, these friends and neighbors left their homes to with them galanced as they go forth to offer their lives for the emancipation of mankind. At 8 o'clock Jackson's Twenty-third Regimental hand struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," and the audience arose and remained standing until after the invocation by Prof. Wm. R. Carter. Then Chairman Rominecthe came forward and with a heart overflowing with patriotism and his soul fired with love and admiration for "hin' boys, he made a brief speech which was roundly applauded almost at every sentence. At the conclusion of his well chosen remarks he presented Governor Arthur Capper, who was warmly received. The Governor was up to his usual standard, and his remarks showed that he was happy to be present on such an occasion and do honor to the boys he has known all of their lives. He toured briefly on the war, its causes, and what it means to us, and was heartily applauded when he said that America would not the final punch into the war which would bring about liberty and happiness throughout the world. Among other things, Governor Capper said that he did not approve of the action taken by the people around Junction Civ, saying that it was not the spirit of Kansas and Kansans. Following Governor Capper, Dr. Ransom responded on behalf of his fellow officers. His remarks put "pep" into the meeting and set the fires of patriotism ablaze. He is a pleasing talker and every sentence teamed with logic. After a pleasing vocal number by a lady quartet from the Industrial Institute, the well known J. H. B. Taylor, elocutionist and politician, appeared and took old Phil Sheridan from Winchester twenty miles away to the scene of the conflict. It was a fine effort, and from the aplause the crowd showed that Taylor's matchless eloquence touched the spot. Rev. T L. Griffith, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was then introduced as the principal speaker and as such he proved equal to the ocrnion. Rev. Griffith visited the soldiers while in carp and paid a high tribute to their conduct as men. He closed his remarks with good and wholesome advice to the men who are to lead in battle, admonishing them to over maintain a high moral standard and use their influence and power to lift the men under them to the highest moral plane. Hon. Henry I. Monroe was called to the platform and stated briefly to the audience that he did not intend to try to make a speech, that he was there on a mission for the "Pastor's Aid" society of Shiloh Baptist church to present a Bible to Lilut. Stonecrest is number of that church. The Lieutenant arrose and in a neat little speech such as only Henry can put over, he presented the Book of Books to the newly made army officer. In turn, Lieutenant Stonecrest responded with fitting remarks. His manner and words showed that he was deeply affected and his cup of appreciation was filled to overflowing. Rey J R-Ranom of Wichita, whose son was among the newly made army officers, was called upon for a few remarks. He is a powerful officer and can say something any time he is called upon. Rey, Ranom lost his time in getting to the point and his talk was one that will long be remembered. At the close of his remarks the band played a patriotic air and the crowd filled past the platform and shook hands with the young man as they passed outside.
