MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1918 THE BLADE The success of our effort to establish in Madison a clean, fearless and conservative race journal, has been phenomenal. The favor and encouragement which has been shown us by a generous public have eclipsed the most sanguine anticipation of the promoters, during the eighteen months of our existence. We have more than doubled, trebled and quadrupled every competitor. This has been done too without bowing, scraping and apologizing to any man or set of men. The Blade has struck straight from the shoulders, adhering at all times to the pronunciamento enunciated in our salutatory Principles, but not men. We desire to say in kind to the doubters, knockers, and those that have been prophesying that we would die with the campaign, that The Blade is a fixture, and its life, character and individuality will be interwoven in the history of this great city. The permanency of the property has been assured, and The Blade will contribute to the wealth and material development of Madison, Wisconsin, and the Northwest as no other race journal has done. It is true we haven't any money, but it is equally true that we have a competency of the wherewithal which command Home UNITED STATES FOR WHAT YOU CAN DO TO WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP WIN THIS WAR.

Our problem is to feed our Allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Bread and cereals—Have at least one wheatless meal a day. Use corn, oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and breads in place of white bread certainly for one meal and, if possible, for two. Eat less cake and pastry. As to the white bread, if you buy from a baker, order it a day in advance; then he will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the leaf on the table and only as required. Use stale bread for toast and cooking. Meat—Use more poultry, rabbits, and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not use either beef, mutton, or pork more than once daily, and then serve smaller portions. Use all left-over meat cold or in made dishes. Use soap more freely. Use beans; they have nearly the same food value as meat. Milk—Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. The children must have whole milk; therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and cheese freely. Fats (butter, lard, etc.)—Dairy butter has food values vital to children. Therefore, use it on the table as usual, especially for children. Use as little as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of fried foods to reduce the consumption of lard and other fats. Use vegetable oils, as olive and cottonseed oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce of animal fat. Waste no soap; it contains fat and the glycerine necessary for explosives. You can make scrubbing soap at home, and, in some localities, you can sell your saved fats to the soap maker, who will thus secure our needed glycerine. Sugar—Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use less sugar in tea and coffee. Use honey, maple syrup, and dark syrups for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stink the use of sugar in putting fruits and jams. They may be used in place of butter. Vegetables and fruits. We have a superabundance of vegetables. Double the use of vegetables. They take the place of part of the wheat and meat, and, at the same time, are healthy. Use potatoes abundantly. Store potatoes and roots properly and they will keep. Use fruits generously. Fuel—Coal comes from a distance, and our railway facilities are needed for war purposes. Burn fewer fires. If you can get wood, use it. Buy less; cook more than need serve; serve well; burgers use local; eat local Patronize your local producers and least the need for transportation. Preach and practice the group of the clean white. We do not ask the American people to throw the waste. Eat plants, but wisely, and without waste. Mr. Perry Brown is visiting St. Louis, Mo., during the holidays. Mr. Tilliman Wetherell spent Christmas with his wife in Evanston, Ill. Miss Ethel Blake, who has a charming soprano voice, was given a piano for Christmas.

ANTHONY JOSEY, Editor and Manager MASSACHUSETTS UNION --- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ::: MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT THE RAILWAYS AND THE WAR (Blade News Service.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 20th. The transportation situation is becoming the subject of growing public uneasiness and agitation. Those responsible for the operation of the railways realize that transportation conditions, unless more vigorously dealt with by all concerned, will grow more acute. The number of unfilled requisitions for freight cars, after having largely declined between May 1st and Sept. 1st, in spite of a vast augmentation of traffic, showed an increase on Oct. 1st, and a further increase on Nov. 1st. The main reason, of course, why the railways are having such great difficulty in handling all the traffic is that there has been an enormous increase in its volume, and that this still continues. Statistics which have just become available show that in the months of April—August, 1917, inclusive,—those being the first five months after the entrance of the United States into the great war—our railways handled 16 per cent more freight traffic than in the same months of 1916, which year broke all records up to that time. The traffic handled in these five months of 1917 was 50 per cent greater than that moved in the same months of 1915; and, in fact, exceeded the total traffic moved in any entire year prior to 1904. When the statistics for September are available, they will show that in the six months ending with that month, the railways handled more freight traffic than in any entire year prior to 1907. Perhaps the most remarkable figures are those regarding the movement of coal. In the six months, May to October, inclusive, there were moved 150,000 more carloads of anthracite than in the same months of 1916, an increase of 18 per cent, and 751,000 more carloads of bituminous and lignite coal than in the same six months of 1916, also an increase of 18 per cent. A total of 116,000 carloads of freight have had to be hauled to the national army and national guard camps; and up to the time of the latest report, over 17,000 carloads of freight had been handled for the Shipping Board. Another important phase of the situation to which attention should be called, is that the railways this year have had to handle the largest passenger business ever known. This has been a serious obstacle to needed reductions in train service. In addition, between Aug. 1 and Nov. 12th, they transported 1,200,000 soldiers to training camps, cantonments and points of embarkation. This troop movement involved the use of approximately 2,750 special trains. This large passenger traffic and the troop movement have complicated matters and increased the difficulty of moving the freight traffic. Large troop movements are still being made, and the railways are moving to the training camps and cantonments about 75,000 carloads of supplies a month. These facts are sufficient to explain the situation. The railways have secured much more service from every track, every car, every locomotive, than ever before, and the fact that the unfilled requisitions for freight cars amounted on Nov. 1st to only 140,000, in spite of the tremendous increase in traffic, reflects great credit upon their performance. The difficulties with which the railways were confined at the beginning of the war were very great. Some of these have been overcome. The increase during the first five months of the war of 16 per cent in freight traffic handled with practically no increase in locomotives or cars, was equivalent to the addition of 7,000 Members. NO.29 5,000 locomotives and 360,000 cars to the number in service ears to the number in service. The difficulties now confronting the railways are even greater than those they faced at the beginning of the war. They cannot get anywhere near all the men they need. They have lost many of their efficient officers and employees because of their enlistment in the service of the government and other reasons, and the new men, of course, are not as efficient as those we have lost. It is impossible for the carriers to get the materials and new equipment they need, because it is thought by those in authority that the national welfare demands the output of the iron and steel mills and of the railway equipment concerns be devoted to other purposes. BELOIT NEWS Before the curtain of Father Time was drawn over Christmas of 1917, consigning the universal holiday to the pages of history the good citizens of Beloit had done well their duty, and played well their part in making this a day of good cheer for all within her gates. Social functions were many and profuse. Friends at home and abroad were well remembered. The ministers were not forgotten but were made host to some of that spirit of which they have so openly proclaimed from the pulpit. At the home of Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Guyton, Dr. Fox and his little family were guests and enjoyed the hospitality of this family. The family was laden with the choice ingredients of the season, and the day was climaxed by a Musical spread. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Saunders of Chicago. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sedell the the Rev. Dr. Mitchem and family were enjoying the good things of the season. Mrs. B. H. Gest and Mrs. Eli Ely and daughter of Chicago, were guests of Mrs. Robt. Mayo, Hillcrest. Mr. Marion Price, father of Mrs. Robt. Mayo, is much improved. Mr. W. S. Williams has been on the sick list for several days. Mr. White of Ponitoc, Miss., died at Emergency Hospital on the 28th or pneumonia. His remains were shipped to his Southern home for burial. Mrs. Mildred Hobson, of Park Ave., is on the sick list. Preparations for Emancipation Day Celebration are under way for January 2nd at the Wilson Theatre. Rev. McDaniels of Chicago will speak. The Weekly Blade, now an indispensable weekly paper, whose pages are eagerly sought, has done its share in gladdening our hearts amid this Yuletide Season, for its genial Editor and proficient staff we invoke the season's greetings. "In our loneliness, srs, you've been a sweet companion, a true, tried friend/ when troubles come like mountains high for us your news clears the sky, when upon the brink of doubt we stand, you know well how to lend a band. Thus onward go in your helpful tread and by earth's teeming millions your sheet will be read."

BLADELETS Happy New Year! "Good Bye, boys of Company C." Have you made your new resolutions for 1918? Try to be better in every way at the beginning of 1919 than you are at 1918. In the meanwhile we rise to inquire, is the south to be permitted to do all the killing? It is alright to make the world "safe for democracy," but while doing so, let 's make America safe for Americans. Now that the Government has taken over the rail-roads, will the Jim Crow cars be retained? Public office is a public trust, the duties of which are to be discharged in the interest of all the people without discrimination of any kind. "Some people seem to think the golden rule ought to be suspended, now and then, for their special benefit," says the Toledo Blade. In dealing with the Negro, the south thinks it should be suspended perpetually. SCISSORED THOUGHTS "They Say" that racial prejudice will be greatly ameliorated after the war. Then let us live until after the war. We would like to see a colored man ride a chair car into Mississippi. ATLANTA POST The treatment of negroes in the and discouraging to those who have ambitions for themselves and their children. The reign of lawlessness, of night riders and South has long been distasteful lynchers have inoculated spirit of restlessness among the farmers and laboring classes in almost every section of the South and the inoculation has been so thorough that whole neighborhoods are anxious and waiting for opportunities to migrate into regions which offer freer atmospheres. OHIO STATE JOURNAL After the war there is to be a social revolution of some form, in which the elements of trade, industry, politics are to be shaken up and readjusted on another plane. Then is when we will need all the spirituality we can get hold of to save us from sorrow and disaster. Arithmetic, grammar and geography won't save us. It will be through the spirit of God getting into the hearts and diverting them from their alleged progress. The battle of Arma-geddon is the battle of the spirit. That will come after the war. Let us hope this country will be ready for it. --- "A CITIZEN" "A Citizen", presumably colored, because his letter appears in the colored column, writes the "Editor of the Afro-American News", in the Madison Democrat a criticism of the Blade's attitude toward segregation. As might have been expected, his attack is upon us and our motives rather than upon the principle we advocate. It seems to be a weakness of certain people—many of them our own people, we regret to say—to impugn the motives of every person who does not agree with them, in the meanwhile losing sight of the great principle involved. A careful perusal of our editorial will disclose that this is exactly what we avoided. We did not, nor did we intend to, attack the Democrat, the editor of the colored news nor the motives of either. In fact we commended the motives, praised the articles and inferentially commended the editor. We did say, and we repeat it now, "A Citizen" to the contrary notwithstanding, "we can discern no difference in principle between a 'Jim Crow' car on the railroad and a 'Jim Crow' column in a newspaper. In each instance it is segregation based entirely upon color or race identity. They differ only in that one is required by law to which one must submit if he would reach his destination; the other is wholly a matter of choice. In the one case you are forced to yield if you would enjoy a necessity; in the other you yield to tickle your vanity. Says "A Citizen" it is a "desired distinction rather than segregaton". Maybe this is the CHICKEN is often w The French House is the finest short CHICKEN FAT is often wasted. The French housewife thinks it is the finest shortening for cakes. Meatless day means that no beef, mutton and pork should be served. Fish and oysters are not considered meat but are extremely nutritious. Fish is well known as a brain food and should be largely consumed by children and people who are required to think much. The Blade sees much that needs reforming among our people. But our policy is constructive, not destructive. We aim to build up and improve, not tear down. Any public institution among us that is badly managed and yet deserves to live, we will try to reform and make truly useful to the people. Any bad practice we see we will try to root up and cast aside. As a general rule we have no quarrel with individuals. We will fight individuals only in cases where they assume public functions and engage in public pense of the public without rendering any benefit in return. In short we are the enemy of all activities to the detriment of the public, or where they profit at the expense of the public without rendering any benefit at the exfakirs and grafters.

Henry St. Madison TO OUR READERS opinion of a colored man, but it bears on the earmarks of the arguments employed by narrow white men who advocate separation of the races in all things. It is the sophistry used by the south to foster its segregation ordinances, separate car laws and other forms of race discriminations, and at the same time hypnotize the colored people into the belief that they like it. If "A Citizen" regards it as a "desired distinction" to be thus "put off to themselves"—not sugregated we feel certain his cup of joy is filled to overflowing by the Democrat of December 23. In the issue of that date the colored news appears on a page all to itself except for the companionship of paid advertisements and a comic cartoon. Not another item of reading matter appears thereon. "A Citizen" evidently belongs to that class of Negroes who by their words and deeds, for nearly 300 years kept themselves and their fellows in slavery, and who since emancipation have discouraged every effort to improve their condition. Broad minded white men who would expouse the black man's case are deterred by the satisfaction and contentment displayed by these Negroes. And whenever one of their race protests against what he considers as an injustice one of his class—some "Citizen — goes to "his white folks" and says: "Don't pay no 'tenchun to dat nigger, Mars Rob, we's satisfied. Dat nigger tinks he self good as white folks." N FAT wasted. wife thinks it ning for cakes. IF YOU FAIL TO GET THE BLADE REMEMBER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS UNPAID. Jefferson Transfer Co. PHONE 7 Taxi.

Box 812, Greensboro, THE REWARD OF THE WAR "No matter how great the cost may be, this country's participation in the world war will bring a reward immeasurably greater. When the smoke of battle clears away, an dthe prayed-for peace is established, that great, intangible, but mighty, thing, which may aptly be called the American soul, will have assumed the strength and flawless proportions to which it was destined. It has been great and strong and virile, but it has lacked much of the element of oneness. War will weld the vagrant, shifting ingredients into a great single unit, and when the great American soul comes fully into its own, the dream of the forefathers — the founders of this nation—will be realized." Felix Streyckmans, chairman of the foreign-language division of the Liberty Loan executive committee of the seventh federal reserve district, thus expressed himself when the recent campaign in the interest of war bonds was at its height. Mr. Streyckmans was born in this country, but his parents came from Belgium. "The war will mean the permanent passing of the hyphen", he went on. "There will be no more hyphenated Americans; there will be no more divided allegiance, although the natural motherland sentiment may burn as brightly as ever before. But America will be the land of Americans. America will be as hospitable as in the past, as wholesome in her desires to extend the helping hand, but it will be a more united American — an American whose flag can have but one meaning to all. War is a great leveler of caste, and the time is not far distant when there will be but one class in this great land of ours, and that class will be known by one word—'American'. "Victory has not yet perched upon the banner of free America, but it must perch there eventually. The more wholehearted and earnest we do our part in the great struggle, the sooner will the peace of the entire world be assured, and that peace will prove a blessing to friend and foe alike. The organizations of American citizens of foreign birth or extraction which resulted in connection with the recent campaign to raise war funds, must be maintained and strengthened for future work. When another loan is authorized by the Government at Washington, the foreign-language division of our people must be in a position to do even greater work than it did in the last campaign." Mr. Streeykmans and his associates will labor throughout the interim between campaigns to strengthen the various foreign-language organizations for work in the next Liberty Loan drive in the seventh federal reserve district. OUR TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA This nation's trade with the countries of South America is at least three times as extensive as it was the year immediately preceding the outbreak of the great world war. In the eight months ended with August (the latest month for which figures are available) exports to the sister republics of the south aggregated $188,000,000 compared with $157,000,000 in 1914. Thus, it will be seen, this country's total trade with the southern continent in the first eight months of this year represented a value of $620,000,000 against only 1914. To Argentina, Peru and Chile, $222,000,000 in the same time in exports from the United States more than trebled, while those in Uruguay quadrupled. The exports to Venezuela, Columbia, Brazil and Ecuador were practically three times as great as those in 1914. Argentina contracted for $62,256,000 worth of United States products compared with only $19,649,000 in the first eight months of 1914. Exports to Brazil were $40,197,000 against $10,800,000. The records at Washington show large increases in reports from the South American countries, especially in those from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Peru. The United States imported $133,869,000 of Argentina products in the first eight months of this year, compared with $40,752,000 in the corresponding period of 1914. Chile sold us $96,626,000 against $15,954,000; Uruguay $28,389,000 against $8,522,000 and Brazil $106,335,000 against $62,673,000. The pronounced increases in The pronounced increases in both exports and imports conti- ued unbroken right down to the last day on which figures were available and it is reported that the showing for the rest of the year will be even better. "POSITIVELY NO ADMIT TANCE!" H. H. Pahlman, a captain in Chicago's "Flying Squadron" of Liberty bond salesmen, paused in the course of the recent campaign to roll up war funds for the government. before the workroom of a sign-painting and lettering concern on the third floor of a building in the "loop" district of Chicago. He wanted to have his name lettered on his new red white and blue badge so that he could go out on his selling campaign. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to ignore the "Positively no Admittance" sign, and entered. A big man with a big frown immediately started for him. "Didn't you see the sign there?" shouted the big man. "Nobody is allowed in here." "I'm sorry", said Mr. Pahlman and began to explain. "Oh, that's different", said the big man, whose big frown had given way to a big smile. "Uncle Sam is welcome in our shop any old time." The big man refused pay for the work he did for Mr. Pahlman and bought a $50 Liberty bond. Gas attacks are not to be feared by soldiers at the front only. In Chicago, in the course of the second Liberty Loan drive, for instance: A. Hopper, a Liberty bond salesman, sent into a dentist's office, where a big man lay inert in the operating chair. The dentist was working over the patient feverishly. "What's there," began Hopper. "Can't get him out—can't get him out of it", gasped the dentist. "Gas, you know,—gas. He won't come out of it. Here, lend a hand and help bring him to. Take his arms—this way. Come on!" "Right-o!" cried Happer. "But," bring him out, will you buy aerty Bond?" The artist would have promised to do much more than that. In a minute the patient began to show signs of life. He gasped, shivered, and, at last, sat up. "Where am I?" asked the patient. "Excuse us," said Happer. "We just waked you up to sell you a Liberty Bond." Twenty minutes later Happer left the office with two signed applications and two checks in his pocket. "Everybody who isn't unconscious is buying a Liberty bond", said Happer, when he related the story. ADVERTISE in the BLADE It'll pay you! TOBACCO and CIGARETTES 111 King St.,Madison, Wis.
