FROM PEGGY TO POLLY.
Dear Polly-Flinders:

Dear Polly-Flinders:
Don't expect a very gay letter this
week for the. great disaster which
has befallen Honolulu has struck hard
Yes, | say Honolulu, not the service
and we all hold the deepest respect
for the submarines and their daring
crews. We are selfish beings, reading
every day OF great ealamities, the hui
man propensity OF 1T won't happen

Of its sadness passes us by But then,
SUPPOSE if We looked for trouble in
every undertaking we'd find more of it
and fear would hold a tighter reign
and consequently have more victims
FTcm the East comes word that
March came in like a lion and was
passing out like lamb, but the Ho-
nolulan from whom the word came
said that Hawaii's March was nearer
Bostcn's June. The past two weeks
have surely been composed OF golden
days and the rain and bad weather
which threatened us have nestled
down into the background and seem
deep in slumber. Please, anybody,
dent wake them up. @
l was somewhat surprised the other
day while sitting on the lanai of one
of our leading hotels with some

NATIONAL DEGENERACY.
Lincoln Abhorrsd Oppression
and Despised Hypocrisy.

The speech Of Abraham Lin
coin in 1855 regarding the polit-
zeal situation and the tendency
to disregard the rights Of human
beings to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness is striking
" applicable to the condition of
affairs In this country at the
present time.
Mr.. Lincoln said:
II am not a Know Nothing
that Ia certain. How could be?
How can any one who abhors
the oppression Of the Negroes
be in favor of degrading classes
of white people? Our progress
In degeneracy appears to me to
be pretty rapid. As nation we
began by declaring that all men
are created equal
I'VE now practically read it,
All men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes When the Know
Nothings get control it will read,
All men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes and foreigners and
CatholicS.'
when 1t comes to that l
should prefer emigrating to some
country where they make no
pretense of loving liberty-to
Russia. for instance. where des-
potism can be taken pure and
without the base alloy Of hypoc-
risy."

EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Governor Willis Of Ohio Opposed to
x Color Line Legislation.
By~RALPH w. TYLER,


ByRALPH w. TYLER.
Columbus, o. -. Governor Frank B.
Willis, the new governor of Ohio, has
proved himself to be one of the best
friends the colored people have ever
had in the executive chair. The gov
ernor insists that the race shall have a
square deal, nothing less and nothing
more. Two bills were recently intro
duced in the general assembly Of Ohio
which were regarded as not only inim-
zeal, but positively hostile to the race.
regulating and licensing a number Of
branches of limited medicine and sur
gerry and the other to amend the cleo
ton laws of the state.
The first provided that chiropodists
and masseurs, among other practi-
TONERS, should pass an examination in
chemistry, physiology, hygiene, anato-
my, bacteriology, etc., before being IL
censed to practice and that II there ex
listed a state association or society In
such branch Of limited medicine or
surgery" that organization should name
the examiner. There happened to be
a state pedic society, which, according
to the bill, would have the right to
name the examiner who would exam
Inc chiropodists.
1t also happened that this society had
draw n the color line-refused to admit
colored practitioners as members.
When the matter was brought to the
governors attention he insisted that
the state of Ohio could not afford to
pass any laws discriminatory against
any race and intimated that any such
law passed could not become a law
with his signature.
The result was the bill was so amend
cd as 10 exempt from examination all
who had been practicing for period Of
five years previous to the passage Of
the bill, and also amended to deny to
the state pedic society, because it had
drawn the color line, the right to name
an examiner. BY setting his foot down
fiat against discrimination Governor
Willis secured protection and justice
for the colored people Of Ohio.
The second bill was that to amend
the election laws Of Ohio. This bill
provided that voters on registering
must give their color. Prominent col
ored men complained to the governor
that as the bill did not require the vot-
er to state whether he was Jew or gen.
tile, Irish, German or what not 1t
ought not to require American citizens
to state their color. The governor
agreed and Immediately conferred with
the author Of the bill, with the re-
suit that an amendment was offered
and adopted striking out the word
"color."
Governor Willis has let it be under
stood that he Is the governor for all
the people, and that the colored people
are one of the units that form the
whole people, and that this unit must
and shall receive exact justice 80 long
as he Is governor.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
.. LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie Fl. Burroughs.

11Ome ATdlnlnS MOST important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about a reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is 50 far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language Is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for Sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in Our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. ..-..
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

NATIONAL LEAGUE DROPS
SOCIAL SCIENCE CONTEST.
Organization on Urban Conditions
Starts New Campaign Of Education.

New York.-A social science contest
was held last year by the National
League ON Urban Conditions Among
Colored People for the purpose Of
arousing an interest in social science
studies and social service among the
students Of colleges affiliated with the
league. Only a few students at three
or four Of the institutions manifested
an interest In the contest, and the ex-
ecutive board has thought 1t best not
to hold the contest this year.
The board has decided to use such
funds as are available for the time be-
ing in enabling DR.. George d. Haynes,
the director of the league, to visit sew
eral Of the colleges to present the
claims Of social service as life work
and to interview teachers and students
interested in the social sciences and So
cial service.
In addition to these visits, steps have
been taken toward Offering scholar
ships at different colleges which have
developed sufficient number Of So
cial science courses. The first Of these
La open to candidates this year at
Nashville, Tenn. The candidates
chosen will have an opportunity to
study at Fisk university with prac-
Teal experience in social work In the
city. If funds can be secured in sub
sequent years the plan Is to offer 9TH
or scholarships at other centers that
are developing suitable courses, Of
training, and in these efforts the league
hopes for the hearty cooperation Of
ali the affiliated colleges.
In order to obtain the largest pos
sible number Of applicants from
whom to choose the fellows" for New
York and the one for Nashville the
educational committee Of the league
has extended the time for receiving
applications from April to May Is,
1916. Applications should be mailed
at once TO DR.. George q. Haynes, care
Of National League on Urban Condi-
tons Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh
avenue, New York.
Application blanks will be furnished
either by request Of your teacher of
sociology at your own institution or by
writing DR.. Haynes at the above ad-
dress.

The First Victim.

Chief Justice Doherty used to relate
an experience which befell him during
a visit to country house in Ireland.
His friend. the host, sent a car to the
railway station to bring him to the
place. He had not gone far when the
horse became restless and finally up
set the car into ditch. The Judge
asked the driver how long the animal
had been in harness -
"Haf an hour, sur" ~
II mean how long since he was first
put In harnessY' -. 49,
"Shure. I've tould you-half an hour,

masther said If he carried We safe he'd
buy him."-Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-

WHY NOT BE FAIR WITH THE
NEWSPAPER MAN7

No one has an opportunity of learn
ing the characteristics of individuals
more than the publisher of a race
paper, and no one has more varied
and peculiar experiences. There are
those who will pay the subscription
as regularly and as promptly as it
is due without delay or hesitation,
just as they would any other debt.
This is the desirable and welcome
subscriber. There is another class
who subscribe as willingly and will
pay the subscription at that time, but
it is almost impossible to collect it
again, for it is almost impossible to
find the individuals as they move from
place to place so frequently. Then
there is the responsible subscriber
who feels that he is good for the sub
scription but never pays unless a per-
sonal demand is made upon him for
it. This may ease his conscience, but
it is almost as difficult to collect his
subscription when it is needed most,
as it is to collect from the man who
is not responsible. Then there is the
subscriber who imagines that every
one pays his subscriptions except him
self and that the publisher is we'll to
do and does not need the money. He
keeps the money in his pocket until it
is thawed out by first one process
and then another. Some subscribers
never intend to pay and by first one
subterfuge or another avoid payment
until the publisher in self-defense
must stop the paper and collect the
subscription by legal process when
this is possible. Really the sub
scribers to race papers should feel a
deeper interest in their success and
adopt the habit of paying for them
promptly, and in that way may tighten
the burdens of the publisher and in
sure better and more regular publica-
ton of the paper-Kansas City Sun.
