THE KAISER AS A BUSINESS MAN. 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 Souhern 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! PRESIDENT WILSON FORCES SEGREGATION In the Porto Rican Army—Does So Over Objection and Protest of Porto Rico, Which Never Knew Any Color Distinction—U. S. A. Diaregats Petition Sent by Porto Rican House and Senate to U. S. Congress—Shameful Treatment of Those Recently Forced Into U. S. Citizenship. (By F. B. Parden Returned War Correspondent From Europe.) (From the Boston Guardian.) San Juan, P. R.-A flame of indignation swept through the length and breadth of the island of Porto Rico on being told that the United States timeodious custom of racial separation in the army would be put in practice upon them. A petition in the form of a resolution was introduced in the house of representatives by Mr. Manuel F. Rossy, one of the white members, setting forth in detail an eloquence the injustice and inhumanity of forcing discrimination on a country where it was hitherto unknown. The resolution was not only adopted unanimously by the lower house but passed the senate without a single dissenting vote. Petition Ignored. The resolution was presented to President Wilson and it was ignored The Porto Rican Regiment that was formerly mixed was cut to pieces and the divisions were separated separate divisions all the draftees have been shoved into quarters according to SOLDIERS OUGHT TO INSURE. 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 $7.55 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- HO MILLINER MRS.

Pressure has been brought by "negroes" so the wires tell us, to have a "negro" adviser appointed to tell the 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 THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test.

Porto Rico has no higher apaal; it is bitter, indignant, but help Introduced by Native Leader Representative Mr. Manuel Rosy, who introduced the resolution is the leader of the republican minority in the lower house. In studied and telling language Mr. Rosy presented the reasons why Porto Rico objected to divisions in the army, based on color lines. Porto Rico has long been celebrated for the unity of the races there. Members of the darker race are in every branch of industrial and civil life. The largest department store in San Juan, the capitol, is owned by a colored man. The senior member of the Senate, who has held his seat by four consecutive appointments by the United States and by an open election, as a colored man. The judge corresponding to our circuit-judge and having under his jurisdiction the metropolis of Porto Rico, San Juan, is a colored man. The commissioner of trades and labor is a colored man. The mayors of numerous towns of Porto Rico are colored men. 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." WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 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 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 OME BAY PARLORS D. B. SHARP, PROP. Is in Fashionable & Millinery ST. PAUL 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?

A strange condition seems to have arisen. Dr. Gulick, secretary of the commission on relations with the orient of the Federal Council of Churches said in Boston recently: "America should abandon its humiliating and discriminating treatment of Japanese and Chinese in this country," he said, "and adopt an oriental policy fitted to hold those people permanently to friendly relations with the democratic nations of the west." Dear Doctor G. would it not be well for America to begin right here at home and "abandon its humiliating and discriminatory treatment" of its own colored citizens? How about it dear doctor. A commission appointed by the Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. Church to make representation against discrimination against the colored people in this country was received by President Wilson.

Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company, and treasurer of the N. A. A. C.

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." What constitutes a non-essential is largely a question for each person to decide for himself. Anything you can do without and still maintain your efficiency, is a non-essential at a time when the government needs the money you could thereby invest in Thrift Stamps.

PAUL PUBLIC LIBRARY. Specially Invites the St. Paul Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to Hold a Reception at the Library. The reception tendered the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Friday night, March 22, by the St. Paul public library was an unusual and splendid affair. To many who were not acquainted with Dr. Dawson Johnston, librarian, and at whose suggestion the invitation was extended to our people, it was an excellent opportunity to meet and to know such an admirable gentlemen. Dr. Johnston is indeed well qualified for the position and is sincerely anxious to make the St. Paul public library the most thorough and effective institution of the kind in the United States. His personal knowledge of books on the colored people and their authors is marvelous and in his address he displayed true christian, human sympathy for the colorman and appreciation of the worth of literary efforts. He paid a glowing contribution to Washington, Douglass and DuBois, who spoke most feelingly of his personal experience with Mr. Daniel Murray, of the Congressional library at Washington, Johnston personally conducted a tour of the entire building explaining in detail the purposes of each department, the system of the institution and the various beauties and art features of the building. All present voted the evening one of great profit to them and a large number made application for library cards with the view of a more extended use of the advantages offered by the library. Dr. Turner was master of ceremonies and Attorney W. T. Francis responded on behalf of the colored people of St. Paul voicing their appreciation of the consideration and courtesy shown them. Motterley Francis said in part: Mr. Chairman, Dr. Johnston, Ladies and Gentlemen: We are here tonight upon the invitation of the Public Library extended by Dr. Dawson Johnston, librarian, for the purpose of urging us as a people to use the facilities of the public library to the fullest extent and to be conducted through this magnificent building in order that we may more fully acquaint ourselves with the advantages it offers. We an- 202 ATTY, W. T. FRANCIS. precise sincerely the consideration and courtesy shown us in this matter and I feel it my duty at this time to admit that many of our people have not heretofore enjoyed the benefits offered by the library, but their failure to do so was not caused by carelessness or lack of appreciation of the educational literary advantages offered but arrogance, born of humiliation suffered at the hands of the management of other public institutions in St. Paul. Some years ago we enjoyed the pleasure of membership in the Y. M. C. A. We had the honor of being on its basketball, its indoor baseball and track teams, and various members of our race represented the organization in its field day exercises and contests with the sister organization in Minneapolis. When the new building was proposed and contributions solicited from the public, we as individuals and in our organizations, gave of our means for the purpose of bearing the cost of the new building. When, however, the new building was completed we were informed that our membership would be discontinued and that our presence at the new quarters was desirable.

A visit to the big Public Market is always a help to the housewife, for it enables her to see just what the market affords and offers her many new ideas to relieve the monotony of the meals. A new food, a fresh vegetable, a delicious fruit, a salad dressing, a juicy steak or roast, a dainty cake, or something out of season might be just what will appeal to her.

Undaunted by this unusual provision, they were equal to the emergency and met the condition and through their efforts the city were made glad by the sight of 600 real, simon pure, hundred per cent United States American patriots in that great celebration. The deeds of the American colored men in the wars in which this country has been engaged furnishes some of the brightest pages of American history and no greater loyalty upon the battlefields of France, and no nobler deeds of valor in the front line trenches will be done by any soldiers, and no man will die with a brighter smile on his face in sacrificing his life for the principals of democracy than will the colored man. This race segregation and discrimination is caused by the viper prejudice which has spread it virus from South to North, East and West but we are praying that vigil, church, press and all right thinking, people will cry, aloud and spare not until this crime against God and humanity is destroyed from the earth.
