Shanghai, Dec. 19-Promise OF peace
I'm China became more definite today
with the announcement that Japan,
Great Britain, the United States. Rus
sla, France and Germany are united
Ia n cooperative effort to assist Wu
Ting Fang and Tang Shao VI in their
negotiations. 1t Is clearly understood
that this action by the powers is taken
in the most friendly manner.
1t is Enthusiastically evident that the
continuation Of the Manchu rule. even
as it concerns the Imperial throne at
Peking. is considered unlikely by either
side. Even though the present dynasty
is ousted, the premier evidently hopes
to retain an Imperial form of govern
ment with possibly the present en-
peror as the first ruler of the Chinese
dynasty and with Yuan Shi Kai as re-
gent. The personality OF Yuan Shi Kai
dominates the convention.
The great fight among the delegates
will be as to whether the form of gov
ernment is to be Imperial or Repub-
lican. If an empire, Yuan will be re-
gent. If a republic Yuan will be the
FIRST president The Revolutionary
delegates believe that they will be VIC
torious in their demands for a repub-
lie. Even the staunckest of the I'm
perialist delegates admit that the
Manchu rule Is doomed.
U. s. Initiated Action by Powers.
Washington, Dec. Ito the Unit
ed States belongs the credit for bring
ing about concert of action in China
by the six great powers. The WASH
ington government initiated the move
ment which now has taken definite
form at Shanghai. The United States
has been the agent to bring the powers
into common agreement. based upon
the necessity OF preserving the integ-
rity and autonomy Of China. Whether
this is accomplished under a Republi-
can or an Imperial form of govern
ment is not regarded as material.
Washington believes success will at
tend the meeting of the peace COM
missioners at Shanghai and that the
present armistlce will be replaced by
a condition of peace without relapse
into war.

The Canadian Attitude.

The despicable race prejudice
seems to be on the increase instead
of decrease, as some would make be-
lieve. The latest phase of this uni
versal problem is the antics of some
canadian cranks that essayed to OBJ
ject to Negroes entering THAT country.
The amusing feature of the incident
was the promptness with which our
dear old "Uncle Samuel" got busy.
The question suggests itself, Why
does the national government make
such fuss" over a few Negroes
whom the Canadian government re-
fused to admit as citizens, but turn
a deaf ear to the numerous injustices
committed against millions Of them
at home every day? 1t would sound
plausible to argue that the Canadian
question was of International nature
and could not be handled by any
state. That is true, but the real
cause was these Negroes had brought
ON condition which, if allowed to go
unnoticed, would have at some time
been applied in the case of white
American citizens. Prejudice and
discrimination may work all right
under some conditions, and may not
cause any friction for many years,
but at some time, somewhere, it Will
bring trouble upon any nation that
tolerates it.

Tuesday evening a number of young
men from Pearl High School gave a

A commendable innovation.

There is soon to be rendered by
the Pearl High School Glee Club a
concert, the prime object of which is
to raise funds to assist deserving
high school graduates to continue
their education in some higher school
of learning The date has not yet
been decided upon, but it will not be
amiss to say a word at this time
about the proposed aid of the high
school students who are deserving.
If We observe carefully there will
be discovered from time to time a
boy or girl who has brilliant mind,
but is not in position to secure that
training necessary to a full de-
velopment. No one is in bet
ter position than the school
teacher to pick out these characters
and the fact that the faculty of our
high school are interesting them
selves in this matter is a guarantee
that none but the most deserving
will be given these opportunities. OF
course, no paernts who are able
to pay for their children's educa-
ton would think for moment of
allowing them to become the wards of
charity, but only those who would,
but whom environment binders.
The people should give these con-
certs liberal support. What is spent
in such a cause may always be count
ed as profitable investment, AMI
who knows but a great man or a great
woman may be developed through
these efforts?

ewlne in a Crisis.

The Negroes of this city have re-
sponded to the needs of the families
of the men who lost their lives in the
recent disaster IN way that bespeaks
new awakening that has long
been lacking on their part as a peo-
pie. 1t is not the intention to con
yey the idea that they have done
all they could or should have in such
crisis, but the encouraging fea-
ture of it is the fact that the show
ing made in this case is the most
credtable of which we have anv
knowledge. What has been con.
tributed has come without solicita-
ton; the people were moved by ali
appreciation of their duty to their fell
low-men, and gave with hearts that
were touched with deep sympathy
for those who are in distress.
We have endeavored to give credit
for all We have done, not in selfish
way, but that it may be known to
what extent we have contributed to
the large fund that has been raised
We have extended the time for re
ceiving contributions to the 31st
of this month, because ave be-
lieve there are other individuals and
organizations that desire to be num-
bered with those who have dread
contributed. 1t would be creditible
showing if the Negroes of Nashville
would increase the amount to $1,000.
They can and ought to do it. The
white people have given freely. The
fact that all but two of the victims
were Negroes has never entered into
the case; humanity's sake appealed
to the people and they RESPONDED out
of the largeness of their hearts. This
should inspire the Negroes of this
city to respond in this crisis to the
full extent of their ability.

COMMUNICATION
Negro History and Race Progress.

Negro History and Race Progress.
History is a record of past achieve
ments and on the basis of this record
we understand present conditions and
lines of future development 1t is
therefore, evident that any people
that wishes to understand its present
life and control its future development
must know its past history This
method is largely the method of the
social sciences to-day-the historical
and genetic view understanding the
thing as it exists to-day by its origin
and by the past record it has had.
History then has not only become a
record of the past, but such a record
that the mistakes and successes, the
trials and failures of the past become
fund of philosophy to guide the con-
duct Of the present and the future.
So we'll is this truth understood
that nearly every people and nation
take care to preserve their records
and traditions and to instill these by
constant repetition into the mind Of
each rising generation. It Is obvl-
GUS what a difference there would be
