Don’t let your Liberty Bonds get away from you. Hold onto them, ever it you may be tempted to dispose of them. In the first place, the government in- tended them for YOU. The Liberty loans were designed as people's loans. Im order to finance the war the gov: ernment must have the support of ALL the people, It was intended that you keep the bonds and not trade them or sell them. Promiscuous selling tends to depre- ciate their value, and that is what the German agents here would like to do. Not only is it your patriotic duty to retain these bonds, but in doing so you are laying up something for a rainy day. ‘The Liberty loans and the ‘Was Savings Stamp issues have done more to encourage thrift in America than anything ever before attempted. They have made bondholders out of thousands of people who never in their lives until now had made an in. vestment. Crafty and unscrupulous individuals are using every means to entice these bonds out of the hands of their own: ers. One method is to offer in ex. change for Liberty bonds stock certf ficates in fly-by-night companies, worth only the gold paper they arc printed on, and represented as return: ing a much higher rate of interest than the government — securities. ‘Those who are not familiar with stock values should beware of such offers. ‘There are other methods, some savoring of the goldjbrick variety; others just within the limits of the law. Liberty bonds are the safest invest ment in the world. If you MUST dis- pose of them, you would do well to consult your banker, OUR WAR INTENTIONS. “We intend what our forefathers, rhe rounders of this Republic, in- tended. 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 {t is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. ‘Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the end of last week. This is the con- sensus of opinion among thoughtful ‘Washingtonians who heard the peti- tlon to the Government read at the closing one of the five public mass meetings of the National Colored Lib- ‘erty Congress or who have read the document as printed in the Congres- sional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of, a delegated as- sembly, a citizens’ ‘congress with a national membership. ‘The Liberty Congress was composed of 115 dele- gates from 29 states and the District of Columbia, men and women, pro- testing injustice and tyranny, re- sponding to a call. Like the’ first one this Declaration represented the voluntary, uncompensated, sacrifice and natural feelings and yearnings of ‘Americans for Mberty and an equal 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 de- cision would be tolerable. No halt- way decision is conceivable. . . . “The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little ot—torces which can never be ‘crushed to earth again; for they have in thelr heart an inspiration ana ‘@ purpose which aro deathless and of the very stuff of triumph.” From the President's Mount Vernon Address. —— BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands dally 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 fs believed that a sufficient num- ber of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of ‘all bonds of the fourth Ioan as they are purchased. FRENCH WAR CROSS FOR EVERY MEMBER OF COLORED REGI MENT. Semen ee: (Baitorial by Arthur Brisbane, Editor of the Hearst Newspapers.) It will soon be time for another St Gaudens to make a monument to another lot of colored troops of the United States. * St. Gaudens made a magnificent statue of herole young ‘Shaw, the white man, leading his colored troops against slavery. Another’ American offleer, alsc named Shaw, offers something to the sculptor, something rather hard to show in marble or bronze. The French war department de clares that every member of a colored regiment is entitled to the war cross for courage shown in their first fight ing under fire. The white officer, Lieut. Shaw, was looking after his guns, giving in- structions, taking them to pieces and reassembling them again, under fire 80 heavy that if he had stood upright he would not have lived five minutes. He went from one gun to the other, rolling over and over on the ground, and comes out of it alive. ‘When you see your colored fellow citizens, in or out of uniform, please remember that, no matter what you may think, the white Prussian across the line has a pretty high opinion of him. THE CENSUS GRAB. While the Census bill was under ‘discussion in the House, Representa. tive John G. Cooper of Ohio, sought the adoption of an amendment that would have taken from the Democrats some, at least, of the enormous amount of patronage they will exer. cise when that measure is put into effect. As it now reads all census supervisors are to be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce upon rec. commendation of the Director of the Census. Of course that means that Practically all will be Democrats. Mr. Cooper would have given the Con gressmen a voice in making recom. mendations for appointments in thelr own districts. Had his views pre- vailed Republican districts would have stood a chance of having their inhabitants recorded by Republican supervisors. But Mr. Cooper's amend. ment met with disfavor from the party in control and was defeated. TOO MUCH FOR ED. | From Auburn, N. Y., comes the re- ‘port of the death of Edward Corn. planter at the Cattaraugus Indian share in the sugnts of Man. While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patriots met at the seat of Government when the country was in a mighty world war and without equivocation set forth the denials to thelr racial element of those rights of democracy to spread which their country was avowedly taking part in a world war. This National Colored Liberty Congress’ key-note sounded by Mau- rice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and re- echoed in ‘every: speech and in the petition, was that when the U. 8. A. was proclaiming world-democracy as its purpose in a world war, all race and color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the national capitol, in government schools, in public carriers under gov- ernment’ control, in the election of federal officials should be abolished by congress, which should also make lynching a federal crime. Reservation. He was a direct de- [scendent of the Iroquois Indian Chiet Cornplanter for whom Congress es- tablished the Cornplanter Reserva- tion, The report says that the de- ‘ceased “although educated, believed na restoration of pagan customs.” Edward, who was certainly not a hyphenated American, must have been pondering over our trend toward Socialism during the past five years. A GENTLE LIFE. ‘The suggestion that Secretary Lansing run for Governor of New York on the Democratic ticket is one that constantly creeps out, but we do not look to see it adopted. Mr. Lans- ing is an estimable gentleman, but he is not exactly the stuff of which po- litical heroes are made. =—— ENCOURAGING, ISN'T IT? In the state-wide primary held in West Virginia, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for mem- bers of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kim- berly, Fayette county; ‘Harry J. Cape- hart, Keystone, McDowell county, and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kana- wha county. Mr. Nutter is a lawyer and secretary-treasurer of a bank. ‘The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one-tenth. ———— AMERICANS—THAT’S ALL. For many yeara it has been the jeustom to treat colored people ad jaliens, although they are more thar ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing ten dency among the colored people ti regard themselves as aliens. This {1s being encouraged by « class of lead ers who call themselves “Negroes Jand yell about “Nogro Kultur” al though they have not more than hal! jand often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to atop the “Negro” propaganda and be Americans’ and demand justice be cause they are Americans and not by ‘the false assertion that they are "Negroes ‘They should not have any rights as “Negroes” but every right of an American citisen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citisens dy right of birth. COUNTRY CAN’T SWALLOW THIS. According to Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, 99 per cent of the credit for the production of ships and other munitions of war belongs to labor, which, he declares, has been more pa. triotic than any other class of citizens since the country entered the war. This sample of the Senator's acumen will cause the American public to look askance at any statement he may make in the future. Senator McCum- ber, of North Dakota, presented his argument for the prosecution some weeks ago, and if anyone desires to riddle McKellar’s statement they should write to McCumber for a copy of his speech. It makes the average American gasp with indignation. Me Cumber quotes specific instances. One of the chief purposes of extending the draft to include the ages 18 to 45 was to meet situations such as McCumber described. This is a free country and if any. one does not like the prominence Col. Roosevelt has attained by his aggres- sive advocacy of preparedness and vigorous prosecution of the war, the country will be glad to welcome any number of competitors in the same line of activity.

The following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the confer- ence of colored newspaper editors held in Washington last week under the auspices of the War Department and the Committee on Public Infor- mation: ‘We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press, which has a cir- culation of more’ than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representa- tives of other activities, wish to af. firm, frst of all, our unalterable be- let that the deteat of the German Government and what it today repre- sents is of paramount importance tc the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. ‘We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the untarnished record of Ne- gro-Americans, to reaffirm our loy- alty to our country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win thi: war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to Keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of pas sive loyalty, but’ of active, enthust. astic, and self-sacrificing participa. tion in the war. Admit Grievances Justifiable and that Race is Restive. We are not unmindful of the Tecognition of our American citizen. ship in the draft, of the appointment of colored officers, of the designation of colored advisers to the Govern: ment departments, and to other in- dications of a broadened public opin- fon; nevertheless we believe today that justifiable grievances of the colored, people are producing not dis- loyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which over the best of- forts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic co-opera tion of the National and State gov- ernments. “German propaganda amoung us.is powerless, but the ap- Parent indifference of our own Gov- ernment may be dangerous. * * * Discreditable utterance—Seek to Put Race Loyal_on Defensive, to Ex- aggerate Difficulty of Redress ana Then Cringe and Leave all Indeft nite.

Dubois Misrepresents Race as he Compromises Says Singleton. (Special to the Pittsburgh Courier, ‘by Walter J. Singleton.) In an edi- torial article dealing with the war, ‘The Crisis for July contains the fol lowing advice to colored men. | “Let us, while the war lasts, for- ‘get our special grievances and ‘close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with jour own white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy.” | ‘The learned Doctor Dubois has sel- dom packed more error into a single sentence: He says three things in this sentence: (1) forget our special ‘grievances; (2) close our ranks, and (3) fight for democracy with’ our white fellow citizens and the allied | nations.

Our ranks are already closed; they have never been open; they are aot, open now; they will not be open in the future. So that the dear doc- tor’s advice being predicated, as it is, on the assumption that our ranks are open, is baseless. The same is true as to our fighting for democracy. ‘That is the one thing the colored man has always desired, prayed and fought tor; he desires, prays and fights for it now, and will in future desire, pray and fight for it. Again the dear doc- tor is offering advice where it is not needed. How Are We to Forget Our Griev- ances. Now as to forgetting our, special grievances? How can we? The lyncher won't let us. The jim-crower won't let us. The man who practices racial proscription won't let us. With lynchings of colored people averaging | higher than two a week, how are we to forget lynching? With the daily denials to hundreds of colored people of the comforts and conveniences of ‘transportation, how can we forget jim-crow cars. When a young colored woman, or man, has qualified for ad- mission to the civil service of the gov- ernment, and been certified and calied, and is refused appointment when it is discovered that he or she is of the colored race, how can we forget racial proscription? The lyncher, the jim- crower and the racial proscriber Keep these things alive, not we. No Other Citizens Having Special Grievances Are Asked by Leaders to Forget Them. Then besides no other group of citi- zens having special grievances are being advised by their leaders to for- get them, but to the contrary every effort is being made to correct them now This is true as to labor, as to woman's suffrage and as to rights of Irishmen Why an exception in the case of the colored man. In all charity and seriousness, we hope never again to see the pages of The Crisis defiled with such stuff as this To keep the ranks closed and to fight for democracy means to pro- test against mob violence, jim-crow cars and racial proscription. Where these things exist democracy is not triumphant. August is the logical month during which to buy furs. This year delay will be more costly than ever before — furs will cost more—it will be harder to get what you want—deliveries will be slow. The smartest and most desir- able models in garments, coat- ees and small furs that we will have this season are ready now. See them.

B, Dubois Wrote “Minimum of Consideration” Resolu- tions—One of Dubois’ Was So Com- Promising It Was Cut Out by Vote. (The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.) At the great Afro-American Con- ference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only’ change made in its splendid resolutions was @ sentence along the line of the com- plained of part of the July Crisis edi- torial. When approached by the writer and asked it he had written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the commit. tee on resolutions, iaughingly admit. ted that he had done so. This we were loath to believe, and did not do 50 until he arose in the meeting and undertook to defend the objectionable sentencs, but in vain, for it was stricken out and a proper one unani- mously substituted for it. The inci- dent started us to thinking (and inves. tigating), but not until we learned that he had been appointed (since the con- ference) to a captaincy in the army intelligence department, and stationed in the army Department at Washing- ton, D. C., did we understand his “re- versal of form.” More Compromising than Washington. We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the hey-dey of his “doctrine of surrender” preaching would have dared do such a thing. 0 DuBoise! Et tu Brute!

G. for last Tuesday night, and the result proved that there was no camouflage about the ad, it not only was a big thing, but the biggest excursion of the season. The splendid band led the splendid parade from the Old Capitol and gave a splendid concert before the boat left the wharf, and then played splendid dance music during the splendid trip, everybody was in a splendid humor and all had a splendid time. The people who are mainly entitled to the credit of the splendid affair are first, of course, the generous public then Patriarchy Committee, Franklin, Chairman C. A. Jackson, James R. Riley, James A.

Those interested will have no trouble in guessing his name. He believes it pays to advertise. MR. AND MRS. W. T. FRANCIS Have Useful Public Careers in This Community. It is usually the case that after publication has been made of some important matter that some things that should have been said have been left out. Such was the case with the account of the 25th wedding anniversary of Atty, and Mrs. W. T. Francis in the last issue, and as, "It is never too late to mend," this additional matter is given. Among the gifts should be mentioned a spray of cosmos and asters by Spencer the florist. A beautiful candelabra, Mesdames. C. E. James, Don Bonaparte and Harriet Williams. The presence of the great number of people and the gifts they insisted upon giving evidenced the esteem in which this couple is held in the community. None of our citizens have done more for the advancement or to secure proper recognition of colored people than Mr. and Mrs. Francis who have worked for their uplift ever since they were of age. The following are some of their activities: Attorney Francis is Chairman of the Financial and Trustee Board of Pilgrim Baptist church; Assistant Superintendent of the Sunday School; teacher of the Women's Excelsior Bible class; director Union Hall Association; received the Republican nomination for State Legislature; served on the Board of To Haiti; member of Baptist City Union; member of Ramsey County Public Safety Commission; member of Mayor's Advisory Board; member of Republican State Central Committee; Government Appeal Agent; Selective Service Regulations, and War Orator, etc. Mrs. Francis, is President of the Church Aid Society of Pilgrim Baptist church; Superintendent of Primary Department and teacher for 27 years; officer in Household of Ruth R553; officer of P.

This is the reason why tion of meat that every effort is being made to encourage. the raising of record crops this year and next year. This is the reason why such generous premiums are offered for good exhibits of corn at the Minnesota State Fair, September 2 to 7. America produces more than three-fourths of the world's crop of corn. Four-fifths of all the farmers in America grow corn. One-third of all the land in cultivation is in corn. In 1917 the corn crop amounted to over three billion bushels, and was valued at more than four billion dollars. Corn is not only good for live stock but for human beings too.

Pull on the traces not on the backing straps. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? No ple, cake or fancy pastry of any kind will be exhibited at the coming Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 2 to 7, this year. Since the Fair is a a "War Exposition," it is believed that frills in cooking must be discouraged everywhere, "Altogether too much sugar, lard and other ingredients needed elsewhere in winning the war are required for pie and cake," says Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws, Superintendent of the Woman's Work Department. "You won't catch the Fair encouraging things of that nature this year." A big bread exhibit is to be shown. Not a single loaf of bread made entirely from wheat flour, however, will to Pick Out Best g Ready for Show eating cornmeal mush, hominy, grits, breakfast flakes, canned corn, popcorn, and corn bread. Still, until the entrance of the United States in the Great War, corn did not constitute as much of the human diet as might be imagined. Corn Popular. Since it has become necessary to substitute corn for wheat, that shipments of wheat may be sent to Europe to feed the wheat-hungry people there, corn has become more popular than ever as a part of our diet. Until now only one bushel of every thirty bushels has been used for human food. The local corn show will emphasize the necessity of using none but the very best varieties and types of corn, that our output per acre may be increased tremendously.—Copyrighted. Defective Page be accepted. Only bread made either wholly or in part of wheat flour substitutes can be exhibited. The canning exhibit will be a big feature. Canned fruit and vegetables of all kinds will be shown. Demonstrators will explain how canning can be done scientifically in the home, so you can avoid so much waste in fruit and vegetables in seasons of plenty in the near years to come. It will be a wonderful exhibit. CLIFFORD A. SMITH. Our Tailor, Has Moved From University Ave, to No. 12 F. Ninth St. Stry Ave. to No. 12 E. Ninth St. Mr. Clifford A.

The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of the American people's support of the war. The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of the popular support of the war, of the home backing up the Army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and depress the enemies of America. The loan will be a test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money. Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives? MR. A. A. COLEMAN. The Noted Chef Has Acquired a New Cafe: Mr. A. A.

According to His Story He Had an Idea It Was a “Soft Drink,” and His Disillusionment Was Distaibole: Lieut. Hector MacQuarrie, whose book, “Over Here,” was recently pub- Ushed, had an experience with an American beverage that surprised him, While waiting for a midnight train in 2 Philadelphia hotel on a hot night, he became thirsty and sought the cafe, where he told the waiter to bring him a large iced drink and suggested or angeade. ‘The walter mentioned mint julep. “The drink was unfamillar,” says the Meutenant, “but it sounded good and American people make the most wonderful soft drinks in the world, ‘The very word ‘mint’ suggest- ed coolness, and the fragrant smell of the upper river at Cambridge on a summer's day came back to my mind as I sat behind a large column in the cate, Hence, I sald: ‘Right 0! Bring me a mint Julep.” He did, curse him! With a large chicken sandwich, it ar rived. ‘The glass was all frosted, Alled with mushy ice, while a dainty Uttle bunch of green mint, with its stems piercing the Ice, idoated on the top. I was more thirsty than hungry, and I was very hungry. =i the Julep at once. Tt was delicious. For a soft drink the effect was decidedly interesting. My first sensation was a nice singing, advanc- Ing sound in my head. I felt myself to be drifting along a smooth stream with overhanging willows and masses of mint growing on the banks. Ifelt that delightful sensation that one feels when a tooth has been removed with. the ald of gas and one 1s just return- ‘ing to conselousness, “This pleasing feeling continued for a little while and then I could see the ‘paneled walls of the room, and I heard ‘what seemed a still, small volee talk- ‘Ing in extremely bad French to the walter who answered in what must ‘have been good French. The voice using the bad French was very famil- lar and then I realized that t was my own, I promptly switched to Eng- Ush, but the volce was still far dis tant. Finally, full conselousness re- returned, also a realization of the situ- ation. Then the voice in the distance sald: ‘Walter, your d— mint Julep has gone to my head and I must catch a train in exactly half an hour? ‘The walter’s volce expressed sorrow and suggested much water and more sand- wiehes. I drank water and I ate sand- wiches, and the vision of Mr. Pick- wick in the wheelbarrow came upon me with full force, I was thankful that in spite of all I could see my watch, but if the walter had not been firm I should have missed my train. ‘The water and the sandwiches were successful. A faint knowledge of Christian Sclence picked up from my chief in New York helped me, and in a perfectly stately manner I walked out of the hotel and along the road and caught my train. “I would advise all foreigners ar- riving in America,” Lieutenant Mac- Quartile concludes, “to avold mint Ju- leps, It was extremely pleasant, al- most delightful, but a mint julep taken several hours after a meal when one @rinks but little at any time, is ex- tremely potent. I have been told since that just after a meal a mint Julep {s comparatively harmless, and that {t 18 not a soft drink, Frank- ly, I will never touch one again as long as I live.
