L. is passed and we have settled down to get ready for the next meeting, which convenes in Madison, Wis., why not tackle some of the problems which are to make us better as the year goes by. Many are the possibilities which will confront us and many are the sacrifices we will be called upon to make. The get together idea is rapidly gaining, and new suggestions are being brought out every day, but we can make so many improvements in the old ones, learn, practice and teach them that others will see more beauty in them. A better understanding of the work would make better men; More knowledge of the principles and a greater determination to live up to them, would better prepare us to do unto others as we wish them to do unto us. Never in the history of the world has the Race been so prominent in the public eye. Race riots, Race prejudice and Race confusions everywhere; and now as we have no real leader, it behooves every one to do his duty and remember that he is his brothers keeper. Think if you please, of the many opportunities we are allowing to pass, that might be used to advantage; how many boys and girls could be given employment, if the regalia, badges and other paraphernalia, were made by the order? How many widows and orphans could be quickly and credibly relieved if our insurance was properly patronized. Think of the many ways we may do good, and then subscribe for the Blade and help us to send these thoughts home. The white wings Social and benevolent Club was organized last week; Mr. T. J. Smith was elected President, and a strong set of officers were placed around him. This club is destined to fill a long felt want and be of great benefit to its members and the community where located; long live the White Wings club. The candidacy of Oscar De Priest, for Alderman of the Second Ward has been announced; Mr. De Priest is a well known race man, and is very popular in his ward; his election is assured. The Knights of Pythias are going to build a temple on the corner of 33rd and State streets. They are meeting all over the city. When will some more of our great orders wake up? Again we say Think. We hope to have many good opportunities to offer our readers, in the near future, good positions and good chances for advancement. Churches, Lodges, Households, Councils, Patriarchie, Juvenile, Temples clubs and all; this is your paper; what concerns one concerns all; Read and reflect. District Director J. L. Ousley spent Labor day in the city, we suspect he wants to take Miss....away; You have our best wishes Mr. Ousley. Miss Hazelle Wells, daughter of R. W. Wells is spending a few days in the city, on her way to Columbia College in New York. The Bro. veterans of the Old Fellows association No. 2 entertained the Lady veterans last Sunday afternoon; Dorseys string band rendered all the latest melodies, songs by Lady veteran quartette. Address by Dr. Law Blanchet, on race pride, and our duty-Atty. Harrison Gaines on Odd Fellowship. He made it plain that no man lives to himself and spoke of the order, the veterans are doing great work, all members eligible should join and assist in their grand endeavor. The American Beauty Charity Club, with a membership of 115, was highly entertained by Mr. P. G. Lewis, Mrs. Carrie Bell and Mrs. Nannie Dukes Tuesday, Aug. 27th at the residence of Mrs. Carrie Bell, No. 2957 Federal St. A solo was rendered by Mrs. Robinson, also the song "A Red Rose" sung by Mr. Gilyard. A dainty luncheon was served at 10.30 Earnest effort on the part of every Lodge and Household in this district will make The Blade a success. Bro. R. B. Murray was seen by us Saturday. He was all smiles and full of good cheer. He is a constant worker for the progress of Arnett Lodge. Bro. Earl Smith our P. N. G. and wife, is to be congratulated on his exemption from duty at this time in the great war. Mrs. Arthur Perkins, 455 E. 31st Street, wife of our W. G. has been seriously ill the past week from the effects of an operation, but, through the good treatment of Dr. F. W. Adams, we hope for her speedy recovery. Do not forget The Blade. Mrs. Minnie Simms, entertained the Silver Knitting Club Thursday, August 30th 1917, at her residence, 153 W. 38th street. Ice cream and old-fashioned home made cake was served. Miss Fannie Stone of Frankfort, Ky., is visiting her cousin, Mrs. H. Daniels, 456 E. 37th St. Mrs. H. F. Carroll, 3646 Indiana Ave., left for a week's rest on the Bert Waters farm, Buchanan, Ill. Mrs. Mamie Bullard and her daughter Lecolia Monroe has also gone to the Waters farm. Honest Honor is the child of sterling worth. The integrity of a man is measured by his power to demonstrate it. All members of Arnett are requested to not forget their pledge for the success of the banquet we have in view. Mr. and Mrs. George Collins of Cleveland, Ohio, paid a short visit Aug. 29th to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Perkins, 455 E. 31st street. Old stern winter is knocking at our door. Every brother who is idle, should get in touch with his brothers and secure a position so that he may be prepared to meet his obligations. And he will not be a burden to others. As the watchword is to prepare for an emergency. The Paramount issue of today is "What standing will the Negro have at the end of this great conflict? What bearing or influence will the fraternal organizations of that race have upon their position at the pivotal point? These things can be solved by adopting the method of getting acquainted with each other by advertising, subscribing and reading the Blade. Mr. Clifford Dobbs of The Naval Reserve force, visited his uncle, Mr. Joseph Reid, 455 E. 31st street, Sept. 1st and 2nd. He reports stirring times on the waters nowadays. See I. T. Burrell for your subscription to The Blade.

This will be the 10th Annual meeting of the League and the 2nd Race Congress under its auspices. These organizations and meetings may not accomplish all that we hope of them, but certain it is that they serve a good purpose, and their failure to accomplish more may be attributed to the apathy shown by many who ought to be deeply interested in them. If they do nothing more than keep before the American people the wrongs under which the Negro labors, they will have justified their existence. Just now such a meeting as is here proposed is very timely. With the recent disturbances in which we have played such a prominent part, and the prospects of an army of Americans of African descent for service in the cause of a world democracy, there will be much to engage its attention. The Blade is for every movement which aims to better the condition of the colored people, and it urges that clubs and individuals who can, will be represented at this meeting. Information may be had of Wm. Monroe Trotter, Secretary, 34 Cornhill St., Boston, Mass. KELLY MILLER TO SPEAK IN MILWAUKEE Arrangements have been perfected for a monster patriotic meeting at St. Mark's church, 497 Fourth street, Monday evening Sept. 10th on which occasion Prof. Kelly Miller, Washington, D.C. will speak on the subject: "Patriotism Of The American Negro". Prof. Miller is the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D.C. a distinguished scholar and an able speaker. He is an authority on Negro History, having written many books and pamphlets on Race questions, his latest being "The Disgrace of Democracy", an open letter to the President, which has received much favorable comment. In order to insure a meeting worthy of the speaker and occasion, no admission will be charged, the expense incident thereto being provided for by popular subscription of public spirited citizens. Admission will be by tickets, a limited number of which have been printed, which may be had for the asking at St. Marx's church, Scott Bros. News-stand, 283 4th St., the Turf Hotel, and at 217-218 Empire Building. Secure tickets in advance. A reception will be tendered Prof. Miller at the close of the meeting. ATTY. AND MRS. OLIVER A. CLARK 3427 Prairie Ave., Chicago, Ill. entertained. Mrs. C. M. Josey was royally entertained by Atty. and Mrs. O. A. Clark on Friday the 31st. The occasion was one of much enjoyment and bespeaks well for the long existing friendship between guest and hosts. The Wisconsin Weekly Blade A National Journal of Opinion and Circulation.

"Run it out" though you think it is useless; Don't stand as though tied to the place. "Rnu it out" though the chance is against you, Perhaps you can get to your base. The crowd on the bleachers is shouting; Be game and take heed to its call. "Run it out", for the other chap maybe Will hopelessly juggle the ball. "Run it out" is a pretty good motto, Whatever the game that you play. For there's always a chance for the fighter Who doesn't give up in dismay. You will find that the man who's successful. The man who is lauded by all, "Runs it out" and quite frequently gets there While the other chap juggles the ball. BLADELETS Put up your "hammer." Our advertisers invite your trade. "Handsome is as handsome does." Any fish will bite if you have the right bait. God never intended that one woman should circulate evil reports of another. "Democracy, like charity, should begin at home and then spread abroad." Fear of ostracism of their families force many southern white men to suppress their real convictions on the Race questions. Speaking of base-ball, life is largely made up of "singles"; few, indeed, make "home-runs" or even "double." Pleasure is largely a matter of taste: "Ten thousand men, women and children cheered as the Negro writhed in his death agonies", said a news report of the recent Memphis lynching. --- THE HOUSTON RIOT THE MILWAUKEE SENTINEL ON THE HOUSTON RIOT We give editorial prominence to the following from the Milwaukee Sentinel because of its fairness to all concerned in that infortunate affair. Far be it from us to condone lawlessness in anyone, black or white, but if the truth were known it will be found that the men of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, guilty as they may be, are not alone the guilty ones. But read what the Sentinel says: "Meanwhile let white men who have to do with black troops employ ordinary sense. Let them avoid the tactless, overbearing, insolent attitude that provokes insubordination and violence, and give the negro an even break in his effort to keep straight.—Chicago Tribune. And in this case that avoidance should be made easy by the fact that these colored men wear Uncle Sam's uniform and can be relied upon to do their bit as well as the best when the time comes for them to fight for the flag "somewhere in France." When the news comes from oversea, as come it may, if history is to repeat itself, that Uncle Sam's colored troops distinguished themselves in the fighting, shoulder to shoulder with their white comrades, these miserable race riots of the Brownsville- MR. W. L. NICKERSON Bessemer, Ala. An influential citizen and prominent churchman, whose word is his bond. Steward A. M. E. church. It is indeed a great honor and credit for one to enjoy the full confidence of his fellow townsmen irrespective of color. Mr. Walter L. Nickerson belongs to this class. He is a gentleman to the manor born and his word is his bond. He enjoys the confidence of the best thought of Bessemer, Jefferson Co., Ala. His advice is often sought and cheerfully acted upon. He is indeed the leading spirit in his community. The race should feel proud of such men and women as Mr. and Mrs. Nickerson. MR. JOHN W. HILL Returned from the southland. Mr. John W. Hill, 649 E. Dayton St., who was called to Atlanta on the sad mission of the death of his mother, returned last Thursday. He speaks in glowing terms of the hospitality shown him by old friends and is very optimistic of the existing condition as he saw them. Time has wrought many a change and strange face since he first left, but the door of hope seems to stand ajar, and the race still forging ahead. MR. AND MRS. J. P. BUFFORD AT DINNED Chicago, Ill. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. and Myrtle Smith and Mrs. C. M. Josey Guests. We have often spoken in the past as to the quality of entertainment offered by these hosts, but on last Sunday they excelled themselves in the over abundance of food at a dinner in which Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Smith and daughter and Mrs. C. M. Josey were guests. MR. HOWARD DALTON formerly of Bessmer, Ala. Now 55 Lawson St. Pittsburgh, Pa. All doubt as to our people making good, who leave South is put to naught, when we read of the progress of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dalton, who left Bessmer in early spring. The Blade Houston type will doubly shame the American conscience. There is blame on both sides, no doubt. Insolence and insult on one side, followed by insubordination and violent reprisals on the black; and probably it would not require a trained nose to detect a smell of whisky on the premises. Also the war department and the military authorities generally should get some sense and use it in this matter of stationing colored troops, and select camps and stations which offer the least, not the most, local provocations to rows and ructions between the colored soldiers and the white communities. What sense is there in stationing these regiments in localities where the mentality, to call it so, of the populace is such that the sight of a negro in uniform is like a red parasol to a bull—a studied affront. These rioting troops should of course be punished strictly according to their deserts, and exactly as white troops would be punished for similar conduct; but the origins and first provocations of the affray should be strictly inquired into so that the primary responsibility for the whole disgraceful business may be thoroughly ascertained and understood." is informed that they are yielding great influence in their new field and are preparing for a rainy day. Their accumulation is daily increasing. They are making many new, warm and lasting friends. MR. JAMES SMITH Chicago, Ill. Among the visitors to Madison this week is the gallant Mr. Jas. Smith, brother of Mr. Claude B. Smith. He is the guest of his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Smith of 210 N. Blair St. On last Sunday afternoon Mrs. Smith was the host of a dinner with Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Wilson and Mr. Smith of Chicago as guest. The occasion was indeed an enjoyable one and the host easily sustained her reputation as a royal entertainer. COHN'S GEN'L. STORE 754 W. Washington is offering bargains in goods for school children.
