It was the most physically fit looking bunch of men yet to leave the city and one that will doubtless take good care of itself in the mighty clash with the Huns should it be sent to the European war theater. The scenes amidst which the men eft” were very inspiring. About Tif- teen hundred relatives and friends were on hand to bid the boys goodbye, and as the train pulled out of the sta- tion they save a roaring farewell cheer which could be heard blocks away. The men were in 2 most jubilant spirit ‘and without exception they went forth with not only an air of willing- ness Imt one of desire to get into the great conflict which is being waged by America and her Allies -to “make the “world safe for democracy”. As the train pulled out of the station, the sixty-six draftees from the county gould restrain themselves no ISnger and they pealed forth. loud and strong in “Over There,” the city contingent, 5S stong, joining in the mighty refrain. ‘The men who composed the party were: County Board—Milton Grant, Sam AMongin, James Green, Louis Green, Ben Drake, Davis Small, Chas.

In bis passage through the several edgrees the question is often asked, “Is he worthy and well qualified?” and it fs always answered in the allirmative. When he first stands before the altar of Masonry it is asserted that we re- ceire none knowingly into our ranks who are not moral and upright before od. and of good repute liefore the world, and this point is emphasized io all the lectures and charges of the work, 8 Xt would seem almost inynosstble, with such an exnmination and safe- swuards at the entrance to Masonry, ‘that any who are not worthy and well qualified could gain admission: So it would be if the letter and spirit of these were always observed and ¢ear- ried outs If the moral and mental qualifications of a candidate were serntinized as closely as his physical jee always are; if the heart and head were subjects fo the same-test as the [nanos and fect, there wauld be less hance for a bad man to eross the | siceshota of a lodge. Physically it is ! required that a candiadte must be able to comply literally with all the cere- monies of Masonry, and mentally he should be alle to comprehend and ¢om- ply with the obligations he assumes, and to display in his life the tenets of his profession and to practice the car- slinal virtues of Masonry. The weak point in this examination of ule fitness of candidates to become Masons, we apprehend, is that it is too ofen regarded amore as a matter of form than real inquiry. Cotnmittees ‘on character are too often degelict in tet duty. They, perhaps, “have a aeht acquaintance with the candidate, fand as his general reputation in the community is fuir, they, without furth- pee investigation, take is for granted that he is alright, and report favprably.

Un- @er ordinary reasoning and psychology, it would not be unusual to find Negro young men stolid, stofcal and indiff- erent, even if free of fear and cour- ageous in like ordeals under satisfact- ery conditions, As far as we may judge at this date, the great white majority and masses in America, intend to keep the heel of op- pression and disdain upon the necks ¢f Negro men and women, during the re mainder of this war and after it, even though we are throwing every energy and effort of our body and soul into this conffict to help the allies win it, There {s no let up in the myriad ways and resorts of the prejudiced and hating. There fs no yielding ground on the hard traditions of the South as they have always affected Negroes in their civil and industrial relationships here. Ignorant and visionless men in places of power and affluence continue to exploit defenseless and unsuspect- ing Negroes. When they dicker about wages, they are shiftless and vagrant; when they have means and comforts, they are imprudent and noisome; when they are earning, they are preyed upon by cheats and exploiters. No Negro is soceptable, except he who works along tirelessly, mutely and regularly. ‘We have written on the eternal ignomy-and sh.me of Jim-crowism in every avenue of public service and accommodation, until we tire of It. All these, and a thousand daily humi- Mations, ‘besides, we live and labor under, with no hope or apparent possl- bility of change, These things are in the minds and memories of all Negroes —these who go to war for Democracy and the rights of weaker peoples, like the rest. 7 There is in their minds also the con- sciousness of the’ unrequited toll of wo hundred years of slavery; the matchless devotion of their fathers in the, days of Civil war,—dark for their masters; the wicked imposition of un- constitutional legislation during’ the past fifty years; the patient. enduring poblle benefits unjustly and criminally withheld; the crucifixion of justice and the enthronement of a dual standari of judgment for black and white. The sacrifices of Negroes 6n all the nation’s battlefields; the fealty and vass alnge of thelr mothers and sisters for the ‘happiness of thefr oppressors; this latter-day loyal and skilled serv- ice of their fellows; this national sacri- fice of thelr women and men in the canse of well-equipped and fortified armies for the field, Yea, all this and more, And yet, they go forth. light-heart- ed and enthusiastic—hurtying, almost to the trenches and death, (For What?) That they may perpetuate a govern- ment and a people which would keep them in bonds! How bitter and languishing the thought that Justice walteth, sleeping! The uncouth policeman, feeling his sbsdlutizm and appointment and con- cous of their .helplessness, dogged them on the streets in the early morn- “txe while they made regdy to entra{c, but they apened not their mouths na DProlest OF COMMENT, % ' They went forth lke laughing, ad- ‘venturous school children, —on this mls- sion of war-making—for Democracy and Freedom, and singing, “We'e1 With You Uncle Sam.” L OFFICIALS ‘There are so nlany instances of per [ verted and misused authority by pett | publle officers that a great many peo ;Ple have an aversion to going abou tbe discharge of ordinary dutles wher |it comes to the course of that dut; | bringing ‘them in contact with thes | officlas. The monotony and fatigue o! dally routine which may be assigne¢ as reasons for the behavior of agreat many men who are charged with many ,business details is a very tame excuse for their brusgeness and impatience, in fact, is no excuse at all. Men in pub- ie places are elected or hired as much for their capacity for politeness and ‘courteous treatment as for thelr cler- ical and general fitness. To the extent that they fall to accord courteous at- tention to and facilitate the business of those who call on them, they are de relict of the duties they>are engaged to perform. * ‘This complaint of impatience and dis- courteous treatment is very general about the clty nt some of the muni- cipal and county offices, at the ticket offices, and to some extent at the busi- ness offices of private concerns. Many colored women positively dis- like to go to these officials, even in the cases where it is necessary that they do this, and a good many colored men get little or no satisfaction from their missions. Often they go for informa- tion, as most of us must at times, and derive little satisfaction because clerks and officers take no time to explain and direct. When explanation is made or directions given it is often done so harshly as to secure no end. Now, many of the superior officers of these men we are criticising would not have these men discourteons and act- ually do not know of their conduct. If they know they would promptly cor- rect the troubles, It is our duty, then, when these oc casions arise, to make prompt report of the matter in a correct account of all the circumstances to the head of the department where such offensive conduct occurs or to the offender’s su- perlor officer. Victims of mistreat- ment at the hands of such persons must not fail to make complaint, or the offense goes on and others suffer in like manner. ‘These just complaints, properly and intelligently made, have usually brought good results. It can de sald to the credit of a certain local railroad company, which, from the nature of its business, has frequent complaint made of the misconduct of its hired men, that the company is’ always cour- teous tocomplainants, investigates the complaints and reports to the party complaining its findings and dispos!- tion of the matter. This consideration of this matter will be worse than useless, unless per- sons who are having these unpleasant experiences shall act as we have dl- rected, and suggested. It ts our bus!- ness to give the public our honest and just opinions in such matters. It will do no good to discuss these offenses and the offenders in private. Bring their misconduct to the at- tention of the authority to which they are amenable and this nufsance, and menace will be abated. _ Negroes pay thousands of dollars in taxes and rents;' pay thousands into the coffers of the merchants and ma- ‘terial men; pay thousunds in raflroad and street car fares, When they real- ly find themselves, they are going to spend their money where they are ac- corded respectful and courteous con- sideration, ; We shall watch with uabated inter est the outcome of the case of insu bordination and disobedience of au thority which has been preferred against the army officer who refused tc align his white and black troops in sc cordarice with military orders directed to him, . ‘This man, like many others wearing the uniform of the great nation which is espousing democracy, illustrates the Apparent incurability of color preju- ‘dice. His superior education and lonp ‘service in the army, his wide expert. ‘ence and his sacred regard for diselp- Mine, his consciousness of the grave re- sponsibility with which he is charged, the broad and illimitable opportunity which looms up before him for faithful performance of duty,—all these shrunk and pales into nothingness when the path of his duty brings him to choose between recognizing the rights and merit of Negro soldfers and the court- murtial, The poison of prejudice and race hatred so embraces and possesses him as to be a part of him, and he wishes no moment of reflection when the issue of race fs clearly drawn. He decides quickly, definitely and tmpas- sionedly. He does not quibble or ex- cuse or resort to subterfuge or the us- ual circumvention. His act is bold, clear and unmistakablé The high mandates of the great army of the na- tion, in fact, no power,of government, can move him to override the traditions of his kind, He risks the consequences of his defiance of military authority. It brought shame” upon his white troopers to be Mned-up alongside Ne- gro troopers, and he refused to carry out the military order to do this. | It appears to us that the issue is (sharply drawn for the government as (represented by the superior officers of (the army. The case appears to be simple, and free of the usual techni- cality and indecision and uncertainty. The military authority must rule’ on this order and must have It executed or rescinded, ' To temporize with vocal distemper ‘such as this officer 1s afflicted with will be fatal to the unity and natior- alism: of all our troops. We would ‘lack the tremendous driving effective- ‘ness which solidarity, harmony and ‘homogeneity can give the armed forces of the nation. This recalcitrant officer will doubtless be unhorsed, stripped of his straps and authority and imprisoned, for bis im- ‘toward and Il-advised step. He must be made an example for all those who ‘are likewise distempered. Army leaders; because the army is ‘an ‘institution where morale and the spirit of nationalism are extremely es- sential, must be free of all sorts of bias’) They must be men of broad, human sympathies and vision. ‘The campaigns of blood and suffering and death ahead of black and white sol- ders alike call for unalloyed and un- reserved fearty and patriotism. This game of death shall be won by those forces which exhibit strictest co-opera- tion, most skillful coordination and dl- rection, and heartlest unanimity and fellow-feeling. | There can fie no divislon or conflict of objective by the compatriots or military divisions engaged in war or one side, There must be one mind, one movement, one result in every thing. A score of men Iike the above, can almost defeat’ the alms and ends of the army of the United States, if, they are allowed to establish thelr sedition in the ranks. They can dis- Integrate end demoralize the untty and spirit of all the Negro soldiers and eivillans by their conduct. ‘They by all means must be squelched, and their fate must be published abroad to prevent a recurrence of the offence, | and for the reassurance of the offend.| ed. | BEAUFORT, S.

We find that it has become the one American idea to conserve, economize and make the best possible use of every opportunity to make ready and thereby be prepared. Hence, let us fall in line and do our bit along the line of preparedness. Let us put forth our efforts with reference to making the coming session of our state league, to be held at Macon, a complete success. In order to do this, I reiterate that we must develop a spirit of oneness like that progressive set of people of Waycross, as are so ably pictured in the following paper by Miss Claudine L. Taylor, teacher of Reidsville school: "My Friends: "Come I, this afternoon with my humble form elevated in view of the common wealth of the pictuesque city of Waycross, the priceless pearl of the Empire State of the South. "Mine eyes behold the brilliant spectacle of our busy marts, your future anticipations, your loftiest ambitions to seal the rugged heights of success by united effort. "At this inspiring moment. I am deeply concerned in the glorious welfare of the "Negro Business League" of the universe. the Afro-American golden view of commercial enterprises, furnishing the vital fluid of the nation's perpetuity. "I must pause to say, the Negro has awaken from the long repose of business silence and incapacity, but many that are under the sound of my voice tonight are standing high in the financial and commercial world, and the only force that is needed to start the wheel rolling is unity. Therefore, I can safely state the main object of the Negro Business League. It was organized to bind together the members of the race in the highest social, financial and commercial activities of the age, and co-operate with all progressive movements which tend to refine and edify man-kind. It unites men and women of the race into business groups, and opens up to the more unfortunate new ideas of doing ordinary business in an extra-ordinary way. "The league men are to form a chamber of commerce, trade unions, an advisory board to assist the prospective men and women of the race in accomplishing better results from investments. Through the League the business Negro citizens of every city are bound together so as to create greater business enterprises in every known section of the world to the credit of the race. It negotiates more for greater school facilities, I mean, better locations with buildings that can stand side by side and compare favorably with those of any other people, and efficient faculty for pro-secuing a great educational development. "The Negro Business League is to co-operate, under the laws of each state, for the mutual protection of Negro citizens in general, and to afford special training for those desiring to pursue the many trades and industries, so as to have business places of accommodation for its customers, namely, grocery stores, dry good stores, hardware and drug stores, cafes, hotels, shoe shops, millinery shops, art galleries and many others too numerous to mention. "The Negro Business Leagues are to rate with the National Negro Business League and help solve the problem of the belligerent nations of the world in production and conservation; with these patriotic accomplishments fostered and promulgated it will become the world's greatest benefactor. "Friends, the object of this league these letters of glittering gold. A bank owned, and controlled entirely by is written above the ethereal blue in Negroes, his real estate establishments, strong and reliable insurance companies, better and greater business locations, a model high school, and larger hospitals for the various cities." Then may it be said by all, that this city has been transformed into a perfect sanctuary. The Hub of the Universe. "The late Dr. Booker T. Washington, more than thirty years ago in his travels North and South lecturing to white and colored in interest of the great Tuskegee Institute conceived the idea of that steel band of "Unity" among the whites, both financially and commercially, and in the year 1900. August the twenty-third in the city of Boston he tied the first knot in the belt that now binds the Negro together, financially and commercially, known as the National Negro Business League "I found the word League is from the Latin word lego, meaning to bind, to unite, and the word business from the Spanish word negocio, meaning to trade, to negociate, occupation. The sentiment of the Negro Business League has been very ably pictured in the above facts stated." The next meeting of the league will be held Friday night, April 19th, at its headquarters 458 West Broad street. Come early and bring a new member. New York—Perhaps the keenest and most brave analysis of the causes of the labor crises and the attitude of colred people of Dixie is that appearing in a series of articles by Richard Spellane, evidently a Southerner himself, in the New York Evening Mail of Friday. Quoting 'one of the brightest men in South Carolina,' he says: "It is not whiskey, but long injustice, that has dulled the ambition with the farm laborer of the South. It is so easy to live in this country that there has been nothing to spur him to enterprise. "I believe in justice to the Negro, but don't let anyone make you believe the Negro is susceptible to be raised to the level of the white man. "He isn't. He is of a lower order of humanity. But that ought not warrant such treatment as he gets in the courts in many parts of the South. "One of our Charleston lawyers went up the country to see justice done. In the case of a Negro being persecuted under Section 402. The county magistrate was indignant at a white man appearing for a 'nigger.' He showed his opposition and contempt. "The Charleston lawyer was patient and the magistrate became little short of abusive. Then the lawyer said. 'Your Houer' kindly let me see the complaint to which the plaintiff has sworn.' The judge flung the papers to blind. The lawyer read on the back of the complaint: 'I hereby sentence the defendant to a fine of $50 or thirty days in jail. '_____, Magistrate.' "You are incompetent to sit in this case," said the lawyer. "You have prejudiced it. Here is the proof. Here is proof that you rendered a verdict without hearing a word of evidence in the case." The magistrate got up and roared at the lawyer, 'Apologize at once or I commit you for contempt' 'Please do,' said the lawyer and I will drive you from the bench and make you.' The magistrate shouted, 'cote is dismissed,' and then appealed to the lawyer not to bring charges against him. I made a mistake. I apologize. I'll let the nigger go'. "But do you appreciate that, when a white lawyer appears for a Negro in a case in which a white man is concerned, he is in danger of being ostracized socially and boycotted professionally? In the small town this blacklisting of any one who defends the Negro is too much for the lawyer of the town to risk. "Don't for an instant imagine that there isn't a lot of crime among the Negroes. Don't get the idea that they are a much abused people. They are not. They get justice when they have trouble among themselves, but they don't get justice when they have differences with the whites. "This has embittered them, deep into their sorris, duilled any ambition some of them have had, made them willing to go through life with the least effort. "I know of a case up the country where a white man, got angry and swore at the Negro woman who had laundered his linen for years. She didn't accept this in good part and refused to work for him any longer. She was an unusually good washer-woman. He is insisted and when she was obduired he ordered her off his property, the cabin in which she lived with her son being on his land. "Her son went to him, expostulated with him for cursing the woman and refused to vacate the cabin. "The white man had him arrosted for trespass, and when the Negro was fined and his two mules were sold, at auction to pay the fine the white man bought the two animals for a song. "Cases such as I have mentioned explain the apathy of many thousands of Negroes. If they get the money they spend it on anything that catches their fancy. They are as helpless as children. We suppose for years we understood the Negro and that no one else did. I am half way convinced that we know less than we thought. The South depends upon the Negro labor. The incidence of prosperity and prohibition finds the Negro unwilling to work so long as he has a dollar. "How and when are you going to get hi into work as does the white man? How are you going to inoculate him with the spirit of thrift? How are you going to get him to raise food crops as he should this year, toil in building the ships that are on the ways in southern yards, raise enough cotton to clothe the nation and meet all of Europe's needs? "The Nego problem is as much of a problem as it ever was to the nation. Prohibition doesn't settle it or affect it, so far as I can see today."

The Savannah Summer school movement is to be commended in the highest possible terms. The move certainly means a long step forward in Negro education in Georgia. The teachers and others interested in this movement must have given ceaseless and untiling efforts that this, their long cherished idea should take definite form and shape. They are to be thanked and most highly commended! The Savannah Negro has done for his state what has been needed for many years. The day has long since dawned when the Negro teachers of Georgia needed an up-to-date, well equipped, modern in every way summer school where they may go and improve themselves during their vacation. The idea is cherished that the school will be pushed and made all it is capable of being made. Every Negro teacher in and around Savannah should take advantage of this opportunity. Negro education in Georgia is at all too low per-centum. To a large extent the methods used in our rural schools and in some of our make-shift town schools and in a great number of our would-be city schools are not up-to-date. In many of our schools the teachers are not getting the results which are absolutely necessary for our students if they are to do our people the greatest amount of good. It is astounding to know that many students in our high schools know practically nothing of what is taking place in the world today. This is true to a very large extent of the male students to say nothing of the female sex, many of whom never read a newspaper or a magazine. A large number of Negro students are crippled in their grammar and high school days to such an extent that it is difficult for them to make it through a representative college or university in the required time. This is especially true with students in our southern schools. The fault lies within the teakher who is not abreast of the times, and who is too narrow and selfish to take advantage of an opportunity to improve himself. If the teacher would make his work interesting and do it by the twentleth century methods he must draw himself up to the present-day standard. In other words, he must be all that the modern day calls The image shows a large, multi-story building with a central courtyard surrounded by several smaller buildings. The architecture is modern, with a flat roof and a series of windows. The building appears to be a commercial or institutional complex, possibly a school or a university. The surrounding area is open and appears to be a parking lot or a courtyard. The sky is dark, suggesting it might be evening or night. for. This mordenization of ourselves and our work cannot be done by remaining to ourlesves. We must mingle with the brightest minds of our country and other countries if possible. This comingling with those who have made a success of teachinf offered us through the summer school. Every one engaged in work of teaching, whether rural, town or city school should grasp the opportunity of attending a summer school some where if there is a possible chance. The writriter is highly cognizant of the fact that summer sessions have been held in various parts of the state from time to time and would not if it were possible detract a particle from the good they have done. These sessions have been of great benefit to those of our teachers who have attended them. We must admit, however, that these sessions have been held in small towns where Negro education is at a very low ebb. It is a blessing for the race, especially in Georgia, that his movement has taken hold in a city like Savannah, where the race has a faired chance educationally than in some other places. Knowing Savannah and its people as we do we are firmly convinced that the thing will be done right, that it will be made one of the greatest movements of its kind in this country. May it grow. May those at its head agree and pull together for the upbuilding of an institution that the Negro citizenry of Georgia is standing in great need of. May the institution become as a city built on a hill whose light cannot be hid.
