OUR WAR INTENTIONS "We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. . . . "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. . . . "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. NO CAMOUFLAGED REPUBLICAN. The Republicans of Michigan, speaking through their State chairman, say that President Wilson's entry of Henry Ford in the Wolving Seminarial race will make no difference with Republican plans. Those plans look for the nomination of a straight patriotic Republican, one who never was a pacifist—before or since the war began—one who never contributed money to pay for Democratic advertising, one who has voted more than once in the past twenty years, and each time voted the Republican ticket. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and space has been left on each bond for insertion of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to WRONGS OF COLORED AMERICANS ARE PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT AND PLEA MADE TO CONGRESS AND AN APPEAL TO THE CONSCIENCE OF THE NATION Washington, D. C., July, 1918—The most widely representative convention of the last 25 years has for over days been holding a National Colored Liberty Convention in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zlon Church, 14th and Corcoran streets. One hundred and fifteen delegates, with fees paid, from Massachusetts to Alabama, New York to Oklahoma. H. H. Harrison of New York City was elected chairman, W. H. Trine, Oklahoma; W. E. Hester, Tennessee; A. W. Whale, Massachusetts; vice-chairman, J. W. Bell, Kentucky; the secretary, M. B.

Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to a petition unanimously passed in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress, which has just closed its sesions here. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discriminatory laws are being submitted by the petition as a win-the-war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of Three mammoth mass meetings have been held Monday, Tuesday and tonight. Editor Trotter of the Guardian is chairman of the Committee to draft the race petition to Congress and committee working with determination to get it received by Congress. The speech of Maurice W. Spencer, chairman of the local committee, on Monday night was considered a masterpiece, as was that of Dr. S. W. Harrison of Fort Smith, Ark. The address of Chairman H. H. Harrison and of Wm. Munie Trotter were applauded to the meeting of Tuesday's meeting was the address of Rev. M. F. Sydes of R. I. and the splendid singing of Miss-Virginia Williams who studied in Germany. Delegation at White House. Monday morning a delegation from the Liberty Congress called at the White House to see whether the President cared to discuss the request or to answer. M. W. Spencer was spokesman. The other members were Prof. A. W. Whaley, J. W. Bell, I. B. Allen and W. E. Hester. Mr. Tumulty HISTORIC COLORED HISTORIC COLORED LIBERTY CONGRESS (From the Boston Guardian.) June 21st to 29th, 1918, are now historic dates in colored American history. They mark the approach or colored Americanism to their federal liberty for their federal liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sabbath day thrown in, witnessed the gathering together in the nation's capital of delegates from all sections of the country to formulate and present to the federal Congress a statement of the grievous wrongs visited upon their race and a demand for redress. Meeting under purposeful questioning by the Jewish-American major's attorney through the War Department to thwart this race convention, yet there was no wavering among these delegates. They came for a share for their race of the world democracy to be claimed as the flower of their race, was sent into battle in another hemisphere, and they never faltered. Day after day the delegates met in two executive sessions without a dissenting voice. The call. Firm in the conviction that they were true to the real patriotism THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the closing of the five public mass meetings of opinion among thoughtful Washingtonians who heard the petition to the Government read at the closing one of the five public mass meetings of the National Colored Liberty Congress or who have read the Congressional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of a delegated assembly, a citizens' congress with a Liberty Congress membership of 111 members, from 29 states and the District of Columbia, men and women, protesting injustice and tyranny, responding to a call. Like the first one this Declaration represented the views of the people and natural feelings and yearnings of Americans for liberty and an equal make possible immediate delivery of all bonds of the fourth loan as they are purchased. A point the American people seem to have overlooked in the petty persecution of Leonard Wood is that while keeping him in the United States he is denied even that promotion which is his due because of his wonderful constructivism and farsightedness, an example of which is seen in the Reserve Officers' Train- GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men!

Pleas Made to Congress: Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, as a violation unanimously passed by the National Congress, which has just closed its sessions here. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discriminations are advocated by the petitioners and the National Congress has been placed in the hands of Senator Penrose, and is to be presented to the Senate this week. The colored congress protests that discrimination against in public are discriminated against in public by the petitioners in Federal territory, in public carriers operated by the government in certain States, in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain States and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the military service rendered by their race during the present war, "that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy." They request the organization of races in the military camps. The congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the colored citizens before the United States Congress. The congress gave gates from 33 states. H. H. Harrison, of New York, was chairman of the congress. William M. Trotter, of Boston, was elected chairman of the national executive committee for the congress. The committee will wage an active campaign to secure the desired legislation. in seeking to wipe out the inconsistency of their country at home and were race loyal in seizing this world opportunity to seek for their race re-prosecution, neglect and undemocratic prescription, by the notified the Chair Executive by sending a written request to him to convene both houses of Congress to hear them and sending a delegation to get his answer, then they notified the heads of both houses of Congress to send their representations to the Speaker of one and the President of the other to ask for a joint session. And in Speaker Clark they found a responsive hearer though the extraordinary opportunity sought by the Speaker of one and sought the advisement of the government by inviting two members of Congress to address this Liberty Congress. Congressmen Martin B. Madden of Illinois and L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, author of the anti-lynching bill, who should be bringing about democracy in the U. S.

While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patrons met at the seat of Government when the state arm and without equivocation set for the denials to their racial element of those rights of democracy to spread which their country was avowedly taking part in a world war. The state arm and without Liberty Congress' key-note sounded by Maurice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and reechoed in every speech and in the petition, that when the U. S. A. was preclaiming world-democracy as the state arm and with color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the national capitol, in government schools, in public carriers under government control, in the election of the state arm and abolished by congress, which should also make a lynching a federal crime. ing Camps originated by him. Before the war broke out, and before the administration gathered its switches to flagellate the man who was right. Wood was the ranking officer of the United States Army—a major general. Since the declaration of war, he has received no promotion whatever, but demotions in the character of his assignments a-plenty. Several generals have been made, more leutenant-generals, and a large number of major generals have been ordered abroad.

SPJARNG TO BLAME. (Official Bulletin, June 29, 1918.) The following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the conference of colored newspaper editors held in Washington last week under the auspices of the War Department and the Committee: On Public Information: We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press, which has a circulation of more than a million people among the colored people of America, presentatives of other activities, wish to affirm, first of all, our unalterable belief that the defeat of the German Government and what it today represent importance to the welfare of the warmer general and to our people in particular. We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the unattained record of Negro-Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to our country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among us, to keep our every endeavor to keep these 12,000 men at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic, and self-sacrificing participation in the war.

The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving councils, is distracted wordly by pushing relentlessly for a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue in this tremendous crisis all his complaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do anything in helping to win the war democracy in his full share of the fruits thereof. Gentlemen of the Minimum. But he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient soldier in the victory.-From the Boston Guardian. AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL. For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tendency among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as 一 "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. SHEER WASTE. In June, 1918, the Census Bureau was still issuing statistics of manufactures for the year 1914. Can anyone imagine any practical use for statistics concerning manufactures after conditions have changed so much as they have in the past four years. Fewer statistics, promptly issued, would be of more value. Recently some colored editors under the direction of E. J. Scott and J. E. Spingar met in Washington and asked the government for "that minimum of consideration" for racial wrongs, and they evidently touched a tender chord in the breast of those dear friends of the colored people—the white South. For instance, the editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Herald quotes this conclusion, praises it and naively adds, "Assuredly he is entitled to nothing less." When colored soldiers were hanged at Camp Dodge, Iowa, for raping a 17-year old girl, the entire division of the Iowa cantonment was drawn up and compelled to witness the execution. When a white man was hanged at Camp MacArthur, Tex., for raping an 11-year old school girl the execution was conducted quietly and the soldiers in the cantonment were not compelled to witness it. The New York state convention of Socialists at a recent meeting passed a resolution charging that "colored citizens are the most oppressed portion of the population of the United States and are being denied fundamental political equality." Rev. Charles Chanes, aged 54, a Caucasian has been convicted of raping a 16-year old girl.

If we fought a civil war to prevent geographical division, we should find it worth while now to make some deliberate and mighty effort to prevent a more insidious and fatal division. This effort should not be spasmatic and sporadic. It should be constant. The foregoing from the Chicago Tribune hits the nail on the head. And it is especially necessary for the colored people to stop trying to segregate. The colored person who advocates micromigration in church or state is an enemy of the Nation. PLUTOCRAT8 DOING HARM Says the Saturday Evening Post: "The modern pluratic ideal is to soar far away from the common lot and then volplane gracefully back to it. Why take the trouble to soar at all? Why not distribute the millions for the common weal before they are collected in the capacious individual reservoir?" Many of the men who have made great fortunes by questionable methods in some cases, and in nearly every case, by paying employees low wages. Carnegie made a great fortune and is now aiding race prejudice by endowing jimcrow libraries in the South and Rosenbrow the Jewish multimillionaire is using some of his money to aid the Christians in proving that their religion is a fake by building jim crow Y. M. C. A's all over the country. There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowists pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. We should not exclude all persons born in this country. SHEER WASTE A GREAT JOKE (?) AMERICANIZATION.

ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN. Influential colored men in various parts of the country have signed a strong memorial to the President, Cabinet, Congress and the Governors of the states. We quote a portion of it. We are one group of American people than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in Federal service the treatment accorded us is humilating, dehumanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the colored man's self respect, the object being not merely to separate races, but to impress us with the idea of supposed natural inferiority. Such demoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of fundamental rights of citizens of the United States, but the persistent segregation of any element of our country's population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation can not long endure. When we reflect upon their brut talities and indignities, we remember they are due to the fact that in all almost every Southern state we have systematically by law or chicanery been deprived of the right that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the Republic. The propa- ganda of filching from colored Ameri- cans the ballot is but a supreme ef- fort of the state and to force our assent thereto. To this effect colored man does not, can not, and will not agree. Of it our intolerance is cumulative. Against it, we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible colored man, but also every colored woman shall be wielding the ballot proudly in defense of our homes. We are appealing to you neither as vassals or inferiors. Bull Run and Appatomatox fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens—free men who purchased our freedom with our own blood on every battle field and in every battlefield, full rights and immunities such as freely granted to others but systematically refused to us. INSULTS COLORED WORLD. Boston Transcript Commits Treason in Preferring Ruin of France Rather Than Mixture of Blood of Colored Races Fighting (Boston Transcript.) However, Tommy Akins may to a considerable extent be inclined to settle in France. So very likely, would be the whole body of the Portuguese immigrants and the Italians. Thousands at the Chinese laborers may stay, and so may the black soldiers from Senegambia and other African French colonies. Unfortunately the incorporation of most of the French population would represent monoreligion and degeneration. France would do better, in the long run, to send them home, for the imminent economic or industrial advantage of the French population to be more than counterbalanced by the disadvantage of the mixture. France amalgamates all racial elements that enter her gates. Her best hope for entering France on such a strengthening of her economic and moral bases as would result in a normal increase of the native population, and a steady immigration, enterprising young people from North America, Spanish or Ligurian peasants. If so, the French nation should be Africanized or Asiaticized as the result of the war the country's eventual defeat, that source would be greater than those resulting from the destruction of her cities and the ravage of her fields.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causees Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by students today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its speakers and writers, especially our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly ascribed to millions of coloured and injurious, for the following reasons. a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for any noble or uprising. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but Sudanese, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negroful," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are clearly in their associations, degraded. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masquerade. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he wished to worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Nigroful." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation in the millions of colored Africans, Asians and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours, OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE CLERKS Although the civilian workers in the national capital have increased from 30,000 to nearly 80,000 in the first year of the implementation of the civil needs specialized clerks. The civil service commission announces that there is an urgent call for applicants for the positions of stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper-typewriter, clerk, clerk qualified in accounting and statistical clerk, statistician, clerk qualified in business administration, index and catalogue clerk, scheduler, messenger rate clerk, blue print file clerk, information manager. These positions are open to both men and women. Representatives of the civil service commission postoffices in all cities are prepared to provide information and application blanks. According to the civil service commission, the full extent to which the specialized clerk is needed is perhaps not understood, and it is in this class of officers that women have the best opportunity to be given the ice to the government at this time.

AS YE sow. BARNES CIRCUS AMAZINGLY GREAT. . Largest and Only Genuine Wild- Animal Circus in the World—1200 Educated Animale—65 Sensa- tional Acts and Features. “The Show That's Different” is a term given by many prominent critics to the Al. G. Barnes Four-Ring Wild Animal Circus. Just why this show is different can be understood when it is known that the program presented completely upsets the conventional in circusdom, for the reason that the en- tire entertainment is given by ‘edu- cated wild and domestic animals. Over 1200 of these animal actors are comprised in the Barnes troupe. The animals do everything that the” hu- man circus performer has been doing. ‘Juggling, balancing, high jumping and diving, “acrobatics, posing, dances, drills, ball playing, bareback riding, tumbling, etc., are a part of the things they do.’ Their proficiency is a_re- markable sight to witness. The Barnes Circus also bears the distine- tion of being the original and largest wild animal show in the world. The cleanliness and moral tenor of its entertainment and business conduct likewise add to the reasons of why the show is “different.” ‘Unusual indeed are the big wild animal acts. Tom, Jerry and Brutus, horse riding African lions, are a very remarkable exampie of wild animal training. Sampson, the aviation _ Ifon, rides , to the top of the tent ‘surrounded by shooting sky rockets. A large group of seals and sea lions do marvelous feats of juggling and bareback riding Mlle. Florine, a spritely young woman, presents a group of ferocious leopards Jaguars and pumas. Miss Mabel Stark appears with a troupe of man-eating Royal Bengal and Siberian Tigers, Big Bill, the wrestling grizzly, is another sensation; also the large group of per forming bears. ‘The thirty jungle-bred, full-grown African lions shown in one act by ‘Venus Fashion comprises the greates| and most thrilling wild animal spec tacle ever known. Miss Fashion en. ters the arena alone with thesegreat beasts, and makes each one perform. ‘The lions are first grouped in pyra mids, then into piles on the floor, the daring trainer lying on the topmost one. Her head is placed on the in. side of a snarling beast’s mouth; an other eats-raw meat held in the lip: of the trainer. Her daring is thrilling to an extreme. ~ The Barnes challenge horses and Ponies—550 of them—beautiful, -all ‘educated to perform, present in ‘thei work one of the very great sights of modern time entertainment Ele phants, camels, zebras, hyenas, dogs, goats, monkeys, ete., are prominently shown. There are many laughing spots throughout the program, provided b3 fifty comedy mules, monkeys, bears, Ponies, dogs and a large herd of ele phants, ‘The new, glittering, mile-long, four band street parade is presented to the public at 10:30.

TRI-STATE- TELEPHONE. Field work on the state telephone valuation was begun this week in Ramsey County, when a crew headed by Mr. Chas. H. Christlaw, of Glenwood, as chief, started to make a detailed inventory of all the property of the Tri-State Telephone & Telegraph Company devoted to the long distance or toll service. The task of appraising the value of the toll lines in Minnesota was imposed upon the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission by the last legislature, and the Commission entrusted the actual work to Mr. D. F. Jurgensen, its Chief Engineer. He has about 10,000 miles of toll pole lines extending to every corner of the state to enter upon his reports, and as these must include a record of the condition of every unit entering into telephone construction, and that to the minutest detail, the task is an exacting one. If a sufficient number of capable telephone men will be available this season, it is expected the outside work will be finished this year. The notes now being taken will not only give the Commission a complete record of the telephone property in the state, but the data will also form a basis in determining the reasonableness of the long distance telephone or PETER H.

The Minnesota Recruiting District is somewhat elated over the fact that in April, 1,103 recruits were secured in the state, which is believed to be the highest record in the country. When the final count was made for May, however, it was found that 1,240 recruits had entered the service. A rush of men during the last few days of the month netted 175 May 31, which was the banner day for the month. The rush was largely of men 21 years of age, who would have been compelled to register June 5. This as Major John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota District says: "Shows conclusively that Minnesota is back of the boys at the front, and can be counted on for whole-hearted support at all times."
