"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart MII. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1917. "Every white man in Mississippi realizes the seriousness of permitting Negroes to roam about in the South in the uniform of United States Army officers." Thus runs a sentence in a Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to the New York World. What is there serious in this? The colored men who have won officers' commissions in the National Army were selected because of superior intellectual qualifications, they were given the intensive training of the Reserve Officers' Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. They were commissioned only upon merit; and there is no reason to believe that they will fail to do credit to the uniform which they are entitled to wear. That a white Mississippiian of Democratic faith should find it a serious matter for any colored man to wear other than overalls and jumper or to carry in his hand any implement more important than a hoe may well be believed. But that there is anything of real menace in such a thing is ridiculous. --- MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. Mr. Nathan Straus, a well known multi-millionaire of New York City, who is campaigning to raise $1,000,000 for welfare work among the Jews in the national service, exhibited the spirit that should burn in the breast of every man, in inviting fifty colored soldiers of the national army at Camp Upton to his home for a Thanksgiving dinner. It is stated that he did this as one way of showing impartiality in welfare work which he had emphasized ought not be confined to aiding men of only one race, one nationality or one color. It is claimed on all sides that this great world war is being waged to firmly establish a worldwide democracy, which is only another name for the brotherhood of man. It cannot be claimed that this is a white man's war, as white men constitute only one-eighth of the cosmopolitan peoples that are actively engaged in it. And this democracy or brotherhood of man will never be established until it is established right. So long as any man, or any set of men are denied equal and exact participation in all obligations and benefits that fall to the lot of mankind, the grand principle of democracy will not be established THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the we intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the hea cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the countenac the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends. - Charles Sumner. There is no half way ground, it must be as the new national slogan says: "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER." ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." Thus far in this great world war while the colored man has received some very serious and painful jolts there have been much good to come out of Nazareth. At first, when with their usual loyalty and patriotism colored men forgot their color and undertook to get into the game just as other citizens of this "land of the free and the home of the brave" did, they were rather rudely awakened from their dreams. They, however, pocketed their chagrin as best they could but did not let up in their efforts to prove their loyalty and patriotism all over this country, and the outlook is quite encouraging. Friends of the dominant race who are not ashamed nor afraid to speak their sentiments boldly, are being heard from on all sides in complimentary terms of the patriotism, loyalty, bravery and soldierly bearing. This is very encouraging. A few days ago at Camp Grant Rockford, Ill., Maj. Gen. Thomas H Barry paid some very high compliments. Among other things he said: "I have served with colored troops in peace and in war off and on for more than forty years, and I have always found them equal to any emergency, if properly handled, led, and given the consideration that you are entitled to. "Under some white skins there are black hearts; and the heart, after all, is the real test of the man." Is not this encouraging? WHEN THE WAR WILL END There are a whole lot of people in this world who would like to know when the great world war will end? Of course no one wishes it to end until it ends right, with "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER," but "Brush and Pail," gives this information which our readers are welcome to: WHEN THE WAR WILL END Absolute knowledge I have none, But my aunt's charwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his beat Tell a housemaid in Downing Street. That he had a brother who had a friend Who knew when the war was going to end. PLAY SAFE. One of the Liberty Loan workers in New York suggests that it is a mistake not to accept the entire sum of the oversubscription which has resulted from the "drive." It took a great deal of work and no small amount of time and a tremendous lot of careful planning, he argues, to secure the host of small subscriptions which came in at the last and swelled the total of the offering. This work he says, will have to be done all over again when the next loan is floated, with the chance that some of the subscribers will not then be in position to subscribe anew. THE ONE GREAT ENEMY. Next month we may declare war against Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey; but the war will always be known as the war with Germany. Germany was the aggressor, from the start; Germany has been the active agent all the time. Austria would never have bulldozed Serbia but for Germany's approval. Bulgaria would never have "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with e Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in ma It does not feel for ma Of brotherhood is seve That falls asunder at t He finds his fellow gui Not colored like his o To enforce the wrong, "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. Cowper who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or s.—Charles Sumner. been drawn in but for the lavishness of German promises. Turkey would have kept out but for Germany's pressure. So, no matter how many nominal enemies we or the other allies may have, the one great enemy is and will be Germany. WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES. The new war savings certificates will bear a 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be issued in denominations as low as $5. They are to be just what their names indicate, "savings" certificates, a means of investment for small savings, so that the money will be safe and profitable and at the same time affording the government the use of it. It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may be purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent. Under this arrangement the investor in these certificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency should arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It is a safe prediction that the war savings certificates will go like "hot cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expenses is narrow at best will find in them an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. THE ONLY SOLUTION Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I HE'S FOULEST BLOT." is pained every day's report , with which earth is filled. nin's obdurate heart. an: the natural bond wered as the flax the touch of fire. ilty of a skin wn: and having power for such a worthy cause do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." The National Food Administration is doing its utmost in every way possible to educate the people up to the fact that there is not enough food stuffs to supply our needs without the practice of rigid economy by everyone, especially the housewives. The forecast of available supply indicates grave danger of serious shortage, unless conservation is vigorously and nationally practiced. The slogan is: "In the Name of Liberty—SAVE FOOD." Dr. M. L. Burton, president, University of Minnesota, in a speech before the St. Paul College Club, Tuesday afternoon, stated as his opinion that: "The erasure of all class distinctions and the molding of a common ideal will be the outcome of the war." We do not know that Dr. Burton is a prophet or a son of a prophet, but we hope his prognostications will come true. It is sad to think that there are colored men who are willing to barter away their rights as American citizens for the doubtful honor of being patted on the back and called "good negroes." SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER. Sends an Open Letter to His Special Assistant, Emmett J. Scott. Washington, D. C.—Some eighty-three thousand, six hundred (83,600) colored men have been drafted for service in the National Army to be sent overseas. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in working out his plans for the training of these men, has met with many difficulties. First of all, he has had to contend with those friends of the colored men who have felt that it was Secretary Baker's special duty at this time to attempt to solve or settle the so-called Race Question in America. The other leaders from all parts of the country have been sent to the War Department in various and directions, while the peculiar southern situation, where the masses of the colored people live, has had to be taken into account. Because of these difficulties, the Secretary of War called to his aid, on October 17, 1917, as Special Assistant in the War Department, a representative of the colored people, Emmett J. Scott, who, for eighteen years, was Secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, and also Secretary of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in Alabama. Mr. Scott has a wide acquaintance among members of his own race, and with leading-members of the white race in the South, as well as with leaders of thought and public opinion in the North. He has sought to relieve the Secretary of War, as much as possible, of the burdensome details growing out of the controversies, involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and colored draffees together in many of the cantonments. Lately, there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the colored people of the country who have been led to feel, by reason of reports of alleged mistreatment of colored men in cantreatments, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal unfairly with colored draftees in National Army cantreatments and in National Guard camps. For the purpose of allaying these suspicions and coring certain false impressions which have been used to instigate the Secretary of War has addressed an open letter to his colored aide, stating his attitude and the policy of the War Department with reference to these colored soldiers. The letter, dated November 30th, 1917, follows: WAR DEPARTMENT Washington, Nov. 30, 1917. MEMORANDUM— For Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department. Referring to various telegrams and letters of protest received at the Dt- partment, to which you have called my attention, concerning certain alleged discriminations against colored draf- tees. I wish to say that a full investigation of the matters complained of has been ordered. As you know, it has been my policy to discourage discrimination against any persons by reason of their race. This policy has been adopted not merely as an act of justice to all races that go to make up the American people, but also to safeguard the very institutions which we are now at the greatest sacrifice, engaged in defending, and which any racial disorders must endanger. At the same time, there is no intention on the part of the war Department to undertake at this time to settle the so-called Race Question. In this hour of national emergency and need, white and colored men alike are being called to defend Our Country's honor. In the very nature of the case, white and colored men, with others must serve in other capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems to be a certain amount of overworked hysteria on the part of some of the complainants who seem to think that only colored draftees are being assigned to duty in Service Battalions, whereas thousands of white draftees already have been, and more of them necessarily will be, assigned to duty in such Service Battalions.

Borg's price is only... $29.50 of discrimination seem all, the more unwarranted, in view of the fact that there is far less hazard to the life of the soldier connected with the Service Battalion than is true in the case of the soldier who faces shot and shell on the firing line. Furthermore, the attitude of the War Department toward colored soldiers is clearly shown by the following facts: More than 626 of the 1,250 colored men who completed the course at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, have been commissioned as officers in the United States Army; nearly 100 colored physicians and surgeons have received commissions as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps, and a full fighting force of 30,000 colored soldiers, including representatives in practically every branch of military service, will constitute the 92nd Division, to be detailed for duty in France under General Pershing. The relations between the colored and white men, in the camps containing both, have been worked out on a very satisfactory basis, and little or no trouble seems likely to arise. All of my reports indicate that the colored men are accepting this as an opportunity to serve and not an occasion for creating discord or trouble, and white men and officers are passing over the question of race difference in a helpful spirit. What we need in this emergency is the help of right-thinking people in the cities and the camps; and we are getting that co-operation so generally that our course seems free from embarrassment, if German propagandists, who want to make discord by stirring up sensitive feelings, are simply not allowed to do their work. As a matter of fact, the colored people and the white people in this country have lived together now for a good many years and have established relationships in the several parts of the country which are more or less well organized and acquiesced in. Gradually the colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts, and are rendering themselves, in civilization, and more and more entitled to our respect. On the other hand, the white people are coming more generally to realize the value of the good citizens among the colored people through their industrial importance and their eager desire to learn and qualify themselves for usefulness in the country, and this brought about a growth of good feeling marred, it is true, here and there, by such incidents as that at Houston and that at East St. Louis, which grew out of sad misunderstandings, and were perhaps contributed to in at least one of these instances, by the malicious activities of people, who would rejoice to see their members of the community as a sign of weakness against our enemy. Therefore unrest among the colored people and suspicion of the Government on their part are, by all means, to be discouraged at a time like this. We are bending all our energies to the building up of an army to defeat the enemy of democracy and freedom, and the army we are building contains both white and colored men. We are expecting that they will all do their duty, and when they have done it they will be alike entitled to the gratitude of their Country. (Signed) NEWTON D.
