LICAN. William E. Chandler of New Hamp- shire, whose death has just occurred at the ripe age of eighty-two, was one of the founders of the Republican party. An early Free Soiler, he was active in the organization of the Fre mont campaign in 1856; and his State was among those which gave their electoral votes to’ the Pathfinder. The friend of Lincoln, Mr. Chandler came to Washington in the days of the Civil War and was an assistant secre: tary of the treasury. He became sec: retary of the Republican National Committee, and his activities in the disputed Presidential election of 1876 are a matter of history. He served in President Arthur's Cabinet as Sec: retary of the Navy; and under him were taken the first steps in the building of the new navy, the “White Squadron” of his day having now be: come the second largest naval force afloat. For fourteen years he repre sented New Hampshire in the Senate; and on his retirement from that post tion he become president of the com mission which settled the claims growing out of the war with Spain For sixty years he was active in pub- lic affairs, having outlived nearly all of his contemporaries of pioneer Re publican days and having maintained his interest in constructive politica work to the end, ‘The members of the “Old Guard" are rapidly passing away, soon there will be none left, and to equal them who will arise to take their places’ WHAT FOOLS SOME MORTALS BE. “Every white man in Mississippi realizes the seriousness of permitting ‘Negroes to roam about in the South in the uniform of United States Army offers.” 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 be- cause of superior intellectual qualifi cations, they were given the intensive training of the Reserve Officers’ Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Tows. They were commissioned only upon merit; and there is no reason to believe that they will fail to do credit to the uniform whlch they are ‘entitled to wear. That a white Miss- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the co entious discharge of his duty daré stand alone; the world, with igno intolerant judgment, may cond the countenances of relatives ma averted, and the hearts of friends | cold, but the sense of duty done be sweeter than the applause of world, the countenances of relativ the hearts of friends.— Charles Sur IL honor the man who in the consci- entious 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. issippian of Democratic faith should find it-a serious matter for any col- ored 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 1s anything of real menace in such a thing ts ridiculous. MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. Mr. Nathan Straus, a well known multimillionaire 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 empha- sized 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 world- ‘wide democracy, which is only another name for the brotherhood of man. It pre, 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 brother- hood 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. 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. loy- alty and patriotism colored men for- got 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 thé outlook is quite encouraging Friends of the dominant race who are not ashamed nor afraid to speak thelt sentiments boldly, are being heard from on all sides in complimentary terms of the patriotism, loyalty, brav ery and soldierly bearing, ‘This ‘very encouraging. A few days ago at Camp Grant Rockford, Il, Maj. Gen. Thomas H Barry paid some very high complt ‘ments. Among other things he said: “I have served with colored’ troop: ‘in peace and in war off and on for more than forty years, and I have al ‘ways found them equal to any emer ‘gency, if properly handled, Jed, and given the consideration that you are ‘entitled .to, | “Under some white sking there are ‘black hearts; and the heart, after all ‘is the real test of the man.” ag mot this sndsuraghig? | WHEN THE WAR WILL END. | There are a whole lot of people in ne world who would like to know when the great world war will end?

PLAY SAFE. One of the Liberty Loan workers in New York suggests that it is a mis take not to accept the entire sum of the oversubscription which has re sulted 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 se cure’ 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 sub reribers will not then be in position to subscribe anew. a Next month we may declare wai against Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey: but the war will always be known a: the war with Germany. Germany wat the aggressor, from the start; Ger many has been the active agent all the time. Austria would never have bull dozed Serbia but for Germany's ap. proval. Bulgaria would never have been drawn in but for the lavishness of German promises. Turkey would have kept out but for Germany's pres. sure. So, no matter how many nom- inal 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 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be is- sued in denominations as low as $6. 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 afford- ing 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 eoreg 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 hesi tation in converting it into war say. ings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing in. terest at 4 per cent. Under this ar. rangement the investor in these cer tiftcates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency shoy)d 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 taxa tion when held by persons of sinall means—all will make them an at jtractive investment. Working people }whose margin of income above expen ses 1s narrow at best will find in them ‘an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They eRe | Savings Account | The Gift!

School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates, As a result many. mil- Hons will be transierred to the Fed- eral 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. Dr. M. L. Burton, president, Univer: sity 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 do hope his prognostications will come true. 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 train- ing 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. Second, colored leaders from all parts of the ‘country have importuned the ‘War Department in various and sundry directions, while the peculiar south- ern situation, where the masses of the colored people live, has had to be taken into account. Because of these difculties, the Sec- retary of War called to his aid, on Oc- tober ist, 1917, as Special Assistant in the War Department, a representa- tive of the colored people, Emmett J. Scott, who, for eighteen’ years, was Secretary to the late Booker T. Wash- ington, and also Secretary of the Tus- kegee Normal and Industrial Institute, in Alabama. Mr. Scott has a wide ac- quaintance 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 controversies, involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and colored draftees together in many of the cantonments, Lately, there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the colored people of the coun- try who have been led to feel, by ree of reports of alleged mistreat- ment 6f colored men in cantonments, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal un- fairly with colored draftees in Na- tional Army cantonments and in Na- tional Guard camps. For the purpose of allaying these suspicions and cor- recting certain false impressions which have been made and circulated, the Secretary of War has addressed an open letter to his colored aide, stating his attitude and the pdticy of the War Department with reference to these colored soldiers. The letter,, dated November 30th, 1917, follows: WAR DEPARTMENT Washington, Nov. 30, 1917. belated For Mr. lett 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 draft- ees, I wish to say that a full investt- gation 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 peo- ple, but also to safeguard the very institutions which we are now at the greatest sacrifice, engaged in defend- ing, and which any racial disorders must endanger, At the same time, there is no in- tention on the part of tne War De partment 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 some must fight in the trenches, while others must serve in other capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems tc 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 as to duty in Service Battalions, - jereas thousands of white drattee: already have been, and more of them necessarily will be, assigned to duty in such Service Battalions. ‘Some of the complaints or charges Pee ce Be SE Borgs EVERimeree HOME Your Liberty Bond Accepted on All Purchases 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 to- ward 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 sur- geons have received commissions as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps, jand a full fighting force of 30,000 col- jored soldiers, including iepresenta- jtives 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 contain. [ing both, have been worked out on a [very satisfactory basis, and ‘ittle of 'no trouble seems likely to arise. All jof my reports indicate that the col ‘ored men are accepting this as an op- ‘portunity 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 {s the help of right-thing ing people in the cities and towns | around the camps, and we are getting | that co-operation so generally that | our course seems free from embarass. ‘ment, if German propagandists, who ‘want’ to make discord by stirring up sensitive feelings, are simply not al lowed to do their work. As a matter of fact, the colored peo ple and the white people in this coun try have lived together now for a good many years and have established re lationships in the several parts of the country which are more or less well organized and acquiesced in. Grad ually the colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts, an¢ are rendering themselves more and more useful in our civilization, and more and more entitled to our respect jon the other hand, the white peopl are coming more generally to realize \the value of the good citizens among [ae colored people through their in dustrial importance and their eager | desire to learn and quality themselves for usefulness in the country, and thi has brought about a growth of goo¢ feeling marred, it is true, here an¢ there, by such’ incidents as that a Houston and that at East St. Lotis which grew out of sad misunderstand ings, and were perhaps contributed to in at least one of these instances, bj the malicious activities of people, whi would rejoice to see any embarass ment come to us as a sign of weal ness against our enemy. Therefor unrest among the colored people an suspicion of the Government on thei part are, by all means, to be discour aged at a time like this. "We are bending all our energies t the building up of an arniy to defea the enemy of democracy and freedom and the army we are building contain both white and colored. men. We ar expecting that they will all do thel |Saty, ana ‘when they have done 4 | they’ will be altke entitled to the grat tude of thelr Country. (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER.
