SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1918. THE KAISER AS A BUSINESS MAN. Over in Germany the government owns 97 per cent of the railways. If the kaiser and some of his friends decide it would be more profitable for them to have a certain district raise, say sugar beets instead of wheat, the rates for shipping grain are placed so high the farmer has to grow beets at a loss to enrich the German sugar trust in which the kaiser and his friends have invested some of their millions. Soldiers in France and Liberty bonds at home will keep all that in Germany. THANK GOD! The commission on union of the Presbyterian Church North and the Presbyterian Church South failed to agree on a plan for the proposed merger of the two great church bodies at the final session of this joint conference at Atlantic City. Thank God that the North would not agree to the color line proposals of the infamus Southern branch which would have dragged Christianity in the mire. CENSUS PLUM CAKE. The 1920 Census Bill provides for a staff of 92,000 employees to take the census. Conforming to the policy of the administration with respect to partisan appointments they will all be Democrats. This is added evidence that the army will be recruited from the ranks of the Republicans. The party out of power and spurned by the President is the party which has made possible this draft law and which is furnishing by far the greater percentage of the fighting force. Milton has a verse "On His Blindness" which may be aptly applied to both parties: To the Republicans—"Thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest." And as to Democrats—"They also serve who only stand and wait." Except that the Republicans wait for the ships, whilst the famished Democrats wait at the political pie counter. Safe for Democrats! 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 counten 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. Congress has enacted what is known as the War Insurance Law which provides, for a small sum, a war risk up to a limit of $10,000 and every soldier and sailor should carry this insurance. The cost is so small that it never would be missed from the monthly pay. Under this law, every soldier now in the services, commissioned, enlisted or drafted, no matter what his age, has the right between now and April 12, 1918, to take out life and total disability insurance up to $10,000 at low cost, and, what is very important, without medical examination. Those hereafter enlisted or drafted may take out War Risk Insurance within 120 days after enlistment. In case of the soldier's death, each $1,000 of War Risk Insurance will pay his beneficiary $5.75 per month for twenty years. War Risk Insurance holds good after the war. This is a great opportunity and all friends and relatives of colored soldiers should write and urge them to insure now before it is too late. Application blanks and full information about War Risk Insurance may be procured by any soldier from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Wash- HOT MILLINER MRS.

C., recently the fact was brought that John Borden, one of the witnesses had been married three times, had fifteen children by his first wife who presented him four boys at a birth three times; his second wife gave birth to three boys and one girl at one time and bore twelve in all. His third wife, who is still living, bore eight making thirty-five children in all of which he was the proud father, the youngest being only twenty-two months old. Twentyseven of his children are living and strangest thing of all, fourteen of his sons are now in the army of Uncle Sam. How many fathers, only 62 years of age, have such a record, or can boast of having furnished as many sons to help win the war? This evidence of patriotism and loyalty in this one family, ought to have some effect in stopping the barbarities perpetrated on men of their color that are not outdone by the Kaiser and his cohorts.

Department of Labor what ought to be done along "negro" labor lines. Secretary Wilson has announced that a "negro" will not be selected as a permanent representative but prominent colored men will be consulted. Secretary Wilson has the right idea. No patriotic colored American wishes a jimcrow representative. It would be all right to appoint a colored man as an assistant secretary of labor but to appoint a "negro" adviser and confine him to jimcrow duties would be segregation in its worst form. "Negroes" who are asking for segregated places in the department of the government are doing the colored people a great wrong. Any man who would accept such an appointment, would necessarily be a jimcrow man and he would do his country great harm in bolstering up the color line. Give colored men representation in the government as Americans, not as "negroes." VILLARD HEADS ANTI-TRAINING BODY. Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company, and treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P., has been elected chairman of the American Union Against Militarism. WELCOME BIRY PARLORS SUPPLIED B. SHARP, PROP. Works in Fashionable Millinery ST. PAUL which has been reorganized to oppose the adoption of universal military training in this country. Amos Pinchot has been made vice chairman and Crystal Eastman, who was secretary of the old organization, remains on the executive committee. Announcement of the reorganization has been made, together with the statement that the union will direct a fight against the universal military training bill now pending in congress. It was stated that the union is "not a typically pacifist organization, as it will not oppose the present war, but only legislation looking to military training after the war." PEOPLES' PROTESTS PREVAIL. PEOPLE'S PROTESTS PREVAIL. That it is not only proper and right to protest against wrong, but that it is the only way we can hope to secure redress, has been exemplified by the action of the committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in calling upon President Wilson and protesting against the lynching of McIlherron and presenting a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York expressing the sentiments of twelve million more of the most loyal citizens of the United States, asking executive clemency for the five soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry under sentence of death for alleged participation in the Houston riot.

The following appeal is appearing in the daily press: To the Editor: May I be permitted to appeal in this personal way to your readers for a war need very pressing and very deserving of patriotic attention, and yet easily overlooked. The newly-organized Circle for Negro War Relief is trying to provide for enlisted and drafted men the same comfort and cheer that numerous societies are giving the white troops; also to care for the many cases of distress in Negro families where the wage earner is serving the country. One-tenth of our troops are colored men. Surely a movement to organize Easter Where Val Bo EVERYTHING SIXTH and Piano them and work toward a great common end will make the Negroes better citizens (just as all other war work is making better citizens) and will have results reaching far beyond the present crisis. The Circle for Negro War Relief is approved by, and is working with the National Red Cross. It aims to do a needed work that might have to be left partially undone in the present enormous demands on our national Red Cross. Our office (donated by a friend) is at 489 Fifth avenue, New York. We need funds at once. Every penny will go to actual relief work. Our colored troops have been brave, loyal fighters from the days of the Civil war to San Juan hill. Whatever one's view of race problems, there can be no two opinions of helping thousands of colored men and women to be more efficient soldiers and citizens and so help win the war. EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD It is possible that the American Red Cross has become so UNAMERICAN that it has drawn the color line and made the formation of a separate organization for colored soldiers necessary? What does the RED CROSS stand for? Thousands of colored Americans are members of the National Red Cross having donated their dollars during the drive for membership last year. They asked no questions about the way the money was to be used but supposed it was for the benefit of ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS. A strange condition seems to have arisen. What does it mean? Let us have light. IF YOU REB UB 478 WAB BOSTON BARS BIRTH OF A NATION.

Forty in Number to Appear at the Metropolitan Opera House Next Week. The modern minstrelsy is evolved from the colored people. The colored man if he can be restrained from becoming self-conscious makes the best minstrel man. Any person is sure of a good laugh if he can but be around a group of colored people thirty minutes without the latter knowing they are 'near because the colored man is then perfectly natural. There have been many colored minstrel organizations which were unsatisfactory in their entertainment because the performers were self-sculous and did not act naturally. Mr. R. Harvey, a well known circus man undertook the task of assembling a company of clever colored people who are not posers, who were capable of always remaining natural—even on the stage. Lowery's Greater Minstrels billed for the Metropolitan next week is headed by Prof. P. G.
