GOES ON WAY REJOICING

Pittsburg, Pa.-There are
some men who sac they will
not join the Masonic fratern-
ity until the time arrives when
white masons will recognize
colored masons. But a case
occurred here in Hamilton
county quite recently which
knocks all such arguments
and excuses into a cooked hat.
1t so happened that a color
ed man name Robt. Doughty,
who halls from Scotland,
where he is a member of a ma
sonic lodge, was in this coun :
thy in quest of work. While
waiting for something to turn
up, his purse became depict
ed. SO he applied to the Re-
lief Committee of Hamilton
county, (white) and that com
mittee responded and sent
him to Cincinnati on his way
to San Francisco. where he
says he is sure of getting per-
manent employment.-Phila-
delphia Tribune.

THE FIGHT AGAINST RACE
SEGREGATION CONTINUES.

The race segregation ordinances, en-
forced rigidly for some years In many
Of the cities and towns Of Virginia.
says the Norfolk (va.) Journal and
Guide in a recent issue, are chal-
lenged as unconstitutional Municipal
laws prohibiting Negroes from living
in the same residence blocks with
white citizens are for the nrst time un-
der fire in the supreme court Of appeals
Of Virginia.
The fight to have the segregation or
dinances annulled as contrary to the
constitution of the state Of Virginia
and the constitution Of the United
States has been inaugurated ip Ash
land. Va. where Negroes have been
excluded from residence blocks where
white people are In the majority since
1911.
The preliminary move in the fight to
eliminate race segregation resulted In
nrst victory for the opponents of the
segregation law when the supreme
court granted writ of error and So
persedeas In the Ashland case.

The Defeat.

Some narrow polite a n
made an attempt to pass a bill
through the Georgia Legisla-
ture which had for its object
the preventing of white teach :

failed just as the bill with a
similar object failed sto pass

efficiency in Service" and
was as follows:-
EFFICIENCY In Service.
There has arisen in this
country a popular demand for
a change in conditions, social,
economic and governmental
as relates to all dark Races
that reside amongst us. Men
in public life and even private
citizens disagree upon the
issues involved. Personalities
are indulged in, bitter feelings
are engendered and bosom
friends of yesterday are bitter
enemies of today. The ques-
ton is whether or not a cos
mopolitan American people
are capable of ruling them
selves, or are gradually drift
ing selhshly toward one man
rule, one Race rule, or the
rule of a privileged few. Is
America big enough in heart
and intellect to rise to its op-
portunity, and hold the lead
ership of world democracy!
This is the question for the
present generation to consid-
er and decide-Shall provin-
cialisms prevail2
The advance of civilization
has brought about closer and
and more delicate relations
between the people of the
globe. The world standard
and criterion today is effici-
ency-efhciency regardless of
Race or color-social efhci-
ency, industrial efficiency.
commercial efficiency, politi-
cal efficiency and religious eff
ficiency. The lesson of the
hour is to put an end to Race
intolerance, mischievous ig-
norance and selfish greed.
America, alone behind all
others. must put under foot
its cowardly slavery to color
prejudice, and expand itself
into the richness. and sacred
ness and power of a higher
organic life. There must be
a uniform world peace and
world order-a universal con.
formity to the Golden Rule.
"Do unto others as We would

life is conservation-conser-
vation of human energies,
conservation of our boys and
girls, the elimination of vast
ed talents. the redIrection of
misspent lives, the recovery of
lost motion. Our watchword
should be conservation by
prevention prevention ofidle-
ness by open doors to renum-
erative employment; preven-
ton of disease by building
sanitary homes and healthy
bodies; prevention of crime
and godlessness by spreading
the Gospel of our big brother,
| Jesus Christ. The Negro
wants to be decent. useful and
self reliant. He wants to be
his own master politically.
He wants to be educated and
his children trai n d. He
wants to live in clean, beauti-
full and uplifting surroundings.
He wants to grow. He wants
to find a way or make one.
Our enemies say. 1--WE must
curb the rising spirit of the
black man. We must keep
the Negro down." So. said
the dominant English peers
in regard to Ireland. in regard
to the American Colonists,
when they were seeking to
develop their highest econ
omic efficiency. In a common
country where the khiidren
of the slave attend the same
schools, read the same books,
sing the same songs and pray
to the same God, their liberty,
loving spirits are the same
outgrowth Of human nature as
any others, whether the re-
! suit of environment or of
choice by natural selection.
This brain. this brawn, this
energy. this harmony with our
institutions, our language and
the soil should rather be uti-
lized for the future growth
and development of the whole
than suppressed in jealous ri
valry.
Every enlightened tendency
the world over today is to up
lift the former serfs. Why
should not America do like
wise with the offspring of the
slaves?
The world is moving for
ward. The era of Brother
hood is upon US. Fraternity
is the great panacea for ills
among men, among nations
throughout the world. With
the passing of the present Eu-
ropean conflict there will
come a better understanding
"a sense of closer kinship
among the Races of the world.
The will of God is summon
ing men to war, and through
death, blood and tears the
pleading voice of Jesus Christ
leads on to higher ground.
He's true to God who's true
to man

wrung from the grinding ne
cessities Of a reluctant people.
That necessity will be oc-
casioned by the phenomenal
growth of our Southern states
through the benefits of the
Panama Canal. The wisdom
and moderation with which
the changing customs must be
effected has potent influence
in educating the people to
more fully recognize that ne
cessity and respect the power
and value of the children of
slaves. The clouds and bar
rlers of our day are passing.
Already body of public
opinion is being formed that
is steadily making itself felt.
and in the end will transform
and be transformed by the
economic efficiency of the in
dividual Negro. A young
Negro needs to be trained and
prepared. He needs to learn
the value of Efficiency in Ser
vice-in the household, office,
factory, IN the shop, on the
farm, in the hotel, in the club
house-wherever saving of
time, expense or energy can
be effected. He needs the
personal touch of friends of
the Race. that he in turn may
extend the personal touch to
the unreached masses of his
people.
