Elias Harwell, No. 5794, Jan. 3, 1918. Bro. R. R. Gordon, No. 5693, Jan. 19, 1918. Inmate Hattie Buckuer, No. 4863, March 6, 1918. Sad indeed are our thoughts as we record the names of the noble ones who have gone before us to a life beyond the grave. And no doubt they would be dark, gloomy and terrible were it not for the fact that there is a silver lining to the dark cloud. It is natural to mourn for our dead friends, but how different is our mourning from that of those faithless ones who are drifting alone upon the great sea of life without rudder, compass or chart. Amidst all this darkness our souls become filled with the bright rays of promise, shed upon the world by Him who tasted death, even as do we: drink of the cup of sorrow, down to the dregs. Dying yet He lives as may all of us who have faith in Him. It is this that robs death of its horrors and makes it a change from life, full of sorrow and woe to a home with the faithful and true, who have gone before. Death, the great lever of Humanity, is thus knocking on our doors, has deprived us of true, generous, charitable and noble-hearted members. But all is over. Life's dream is past, and our beloved members sleep their last sleep, only to awaken when the great trumpet shall sound and all shall appear to render their account to the Almighty for the deeds done in the body. To the Relatives and Friends of the departed ones, we offer none of the common places for consolation, such indeed would be but a hallow mockery, but this we say: When the time arrives for sympathetic words to be appreciated they will not be wanting, nor will the service of counsel, purse, or what not be lacking whenever they will be accepted. Many are they in all our organizations who are not unmindful of what they would de in like circumstances, and esteem it a great privilege to minister unto those who were near and dear to them in this life. —L.

THE QUIET ROAD Last night I dreamed to walk with you, Sweetheart of mine. Along a road that once I knew, Sweetheart of mine; A country road where flowers grew, And sweet red clover, wet with dew, Green trees with sunshine sifting through, , And over all God's skies of blue. There hand in hand I walked with you, Sweetheart. Oh, dare I ask you walk with me, Sweetheart of mine. Along the quiet road and free, Sweetheart of mine? Could you walk ever happily The road that calls in dreams to me. Or would it all too lowly be? For orchids grow not there, you see. Could you love clover blooms and me. Sweetheart! Bertye Y. Williams in Cincinnati Times-Star BLADELETS Don't truckle. Have a mind of your own. Be convinced you are right and stand by your convictions. You may serve your country as truly with the ballot as with the rifle. The principle that "an organ not used is an organ lost", is equally true of rights and opportunities. Vote early. In purely local affairs, there may be little choice for the colored man between a Northern Republican and a Northern Democrat. But never in National affairs. A Democrat must affiliate with the National Democratic Party, and that party is not right. It is led by the South. Keep this in mind for United States Senator. P. G. M. ARDELLA ROSS Eastern Star, III. Jurisdiction P. G. Matron Ardella Ross. Rockford, III., was in Madison Sunday in attendance of the funeral of Mrs. Hattie Buckner who was a life long friend. Mrs. Ross was utiring in her effort for the Order when she was its leader. She is known to make lasting friends. L. J. OUSLEY, D. G. D. Was in Madison over Sunday in attendance of the funeral of Inmate Hattie Buckner, and also in conference as to the plan for entertaining the next Grand Session. The Jew and the Negro. The following recently appeared in the daily papers: "Washington, March 6. — At the request of President Wilson the War Department has ordered the following sentence stricken from the manual of instructions for the Medical Advisory Boards which conduct examinations of the army draft: 'The foreign born and especially Jews are more apt to malinger than the native born.'" It suggests the probability of a protest by the Jews against what the regarded as a vile slander upon their race. The Jews are a wonderful people. Forced by a cursed prejudice to be clannish, they have made of it a virtue. They never permit to go unchallenged any charge that reflects upon them as a people, and they, themselves, never make such a charge. In contract to that, The Star, of Newport News, Va., "Member, National Negro Press Asso.", in its issue of the 1st inst., makes this statement editorially, under the heading "Be Truthful"; WHAT THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS WILL BUY FOR OUR SOLDIERS A single Thrift Stamp will buy a tent pole or five tent pins, a waist belt or hat cord, shoe laces or identification tags; two will buy one trench tool or pair of woolen gloves. Four Thrift Stamps will buy two pair of canvass leggins, six will buy five pairs of woolen socks or three suits of summer underwear; and twelve will buy a steel helmet. One War-Savings Stamp will buy one hundred cartridges or a cartridge belt or a scabbard for a bayonet; two will purchase two pairs of woolen breeches or two dannel shirts; two and a half will buy a gas mask. Three War Savings Stamps will buy an overcoat or two woolen service coats, three and a half will buy three pairs of woolen blankets; four will buy a rifle. THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the Third Liberty Loan will be opened on the 6th of April, the anniversary of the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany. The amount, terms, and conditions of the loan are dependent upon further legislation and will be announced as soon as Congress has granted the necessary powers. Secretary McAdoo chosed the 6th of April as the day to open the campaign as the most fitting date to call for a patriotic response to the summons to duty to every American, to ask from the people at home the same fervent patriotism that actuates our gallant sons on the battlefields of France and on the waters of the Atlantic.

When we consider that it is the "average" member by which any race should be judged, this is a serious charge for a Negro to make against his race. It stamps us as a race of liars, and coming from one of our own, will carry with it to our enemies the verity of Holy Writ. We know there are liars among us—we have auricular demonstration of that fact every day. But we do not believe that they are more numerous than among other races under similar circumstances. Our experience has been that the average person will lie whenever to lie will serve his purpose, be he white or black. The charge as made, we do not believe is warranted either by reason or experience. It was made against the Jew, and the Jew resented it. But the Negro, he makes it against himself.
