AN EDITORIAL WORTH READING.
From Memphis News-Scimitar.

ASiiIIi ANSNfo SAhAfto
Throughout the metropolitan district of Men,
phis times are good, and the people are prosperous
beyond all precedent. Crops are abundant and
bring a large price and foodstuffs and feedstuffs
are plentiful. Our people have much money to
spend, and they are spending it freely, as may be
be seen by even the casual observer, and while we
all rejoice and should be thankful for the pros
perity that has come to bless us, we should not
forget that the fat years are dangerous years.
People are all children of a larger growth, and like
children, they fancy that they can eat their cake
and also retain it. They have always wants and
wishes to be satisfied, and these cannot be salts
fled until they have the money. When they have
the money, as they have this year, many are more
than likely to fancy that all years will be fat, and
that there will be no more lean years, and they go
about buying Unfortunately and mourning obi
cations without giving a thought to debts that are
already standing against them on the books of the
merchants. Existing debts are overlooked, and
the money that should 60 to ~liquidate them is
spent for other things. In a conjunction of this
character the merchants themselves should come
to the defense and rescue of thoughtless people.
They should insist upon the payment of accounts,
and make every possible effort to collect while the
going is good and collections are possible. Of
course merchants are anxious to sell their goods,
and they, too, are liable to be mislead and swept
oft their feet by the wave of prosperity. They,
too, are liable to lose a just sense of proportion,
and to be beguiled into the belief that the present
sunshine will always continue, and that there nev-
err will be any obscuring clouds. Almost every
man is anxious to pay his debts and obtain a quit
lance, and when he cannot do so he regrets it
exceedingly. He feels that he would pay if he
could; but, strange to say, when the winds Of for
tune veer, and he is placed in a position where he
can pay everything, he becomes Indifferent and
does not feel it is necessary to pay up because
that little formality can be attended to at any
time. While he procrastinates the money slips
away in other channels, and when it is gone his
debts remain to veX him and fill him with remorse.
Everyone who owes a debt and has the money
ought to pay it promptly, and in this way pur-
chase freedom. 1t is the only safe and the only
solvent way, because while we all wish for and
hope for continued prosperity, and while our coun-
try is fertile and a great wealth producer, we may
fall upon uneasy times, just as other people do,
we should make every preparation possible, |
and take every precaution against the future, be
cause we do not know what it may bring forth.

THE JAPANESE CONTROVERSY AGAIN.

The Japanese embassy at Washington has adj
mitted the purpose of its government to renew
her contention for the right OF her citizens to en-
igrate to and own land in the United States. Inc
negotiation over this question came to a deadlock
two years ago, but the discussion is regarded IN
japan as being postponed while the larger issues
of the war are being dealt with.
The position OF the Japanese government is
that the restrictions on immigration and land
holding are not only derogatory to her dignity
but unjust under international law. Removal of
the restrictions is explained as a third step in her
rise to statehood, the first two being the abolition
of extra territoriality and the negotiation Of COM
mercial equality treaties.
This announcement from the embassy is Of
fetal confirmation OF what most OF us have been
believing for some time. 1t follows an interview
in New York by the former Mayor Of Toxic, and
a delegate to the Economic Conference of the AL
lies at Paris. This eminent Japanese says: lit is
the principle of the thing for which we contend;
it is the insult that hurts US This is evidently
the attitude of the people of Japan, and even the
most pronounced pacitst ought to realize the dam
ger which underlies such a feeling in any country.
The Japanese embassy also took occasion to
observe that the islands seized from Germany in
the Pacific would probably be awarded to Japan at
the end of the war. This includes both the Caro-
line and Marshall groups, and if we remember
correctly, it is directly against the news conveyed
to this country when the islands were taken from
the Teutonic empire. At that time it was stated
that Great Britain would possess the islands.
Any way you look at it, this eastern question
IS going to be an important factor in the future of
our country. Whether we yield to the Japanese
is a question for others to decide, but, as for our
selves, we say, hurry up the notifications in the
Pacific and build the warships a little ahead of

the case that accepted priucipie Of sue
cess for oppressed classes has come out
Of the worlds struggles. Who would
be free themselves must strike the
blow This means that the chief nee
essary factor of enduring success is or.
Yanizauon by, for and under those
whose rights are denied.
IF ever there has been an oppressed
and prescribed race and class our col
ored Americans In the United States
Of America are such a race or class to-
day. In the south they are, because
of an admixture Of African blood, dis
franchised, in some cases held in peOn
age; in the border states and southern
states denied equal rights. segregated
by law, frequently lynched Even In
the north they are in practice denied
service in places of public accommoda-
ton and resort; by law degraded and
prescribed in the south. by custom pro-
scribed civilly in most Of the north
and by the federal government itself
segregated at work in the national cap
ital In some government buildings.
More significant is it that caste dis
elimination Is growing In degree and
territory. This Is the situation Of ten
or twelve million citizens entitled to
equality by law. enslavement Of whom
was abolished over fifty years ago. fol
lowed by enjoyment of full rights.
Surely these colored Americans come
under the proved principle, "Who
would be free themselves must strike
the blow" They are in the category
Of classes struggling against oppres-
sion and inequality. AS we have stat
ed, such races and classes as have
overcome oppression have had organ
lzations of their own. According to
history. we cannot succeed unless we
have such on national scale. There
Is no historical precedent whereby
without 1t colored Americans can pro
tect their equal citizenship"
