PASSING OF PIONEER REPUB.
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

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-

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,

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.

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

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

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

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
