Il have read with great interest
your highly Illuminating editorial ar
ticle on the economic opportunities of
the Negro y the North. Under the
spur OF urgent Industrial demands it
seems entirely likely that hundreds of
thousands Of Negroes will be trans
ferred to the North, and thus shift to
some extent the center of gravity of
the problem.
:! beg s to taii attention to the impor-
lance OF securing adequate provision
for safeguarding the moral and social
life OF these people suddenly thrust
into new ensifpnment. The immi-
grants who. previous to the European
war, had locked to our shores in I'M
precedented numbers. in addition to
their racial assfmilability, have been
assisted In adjusting themselves to
their new relations by the Christian
churches and other agencies playing
benefcialiy upon them. The Negro
laborer from the South has no such
helpful Influences.
Coming from an environment of So
cial and civil restriction into section
OF complete public and civil freedom.
he will. natufally enough, first, mis-
take liberty 3sr license unless he is
carefully safeguarded and encouraged
IN the right direction. The captains
of industry are apt to be shortsighted.
Immediate economic advantage blinds
them to the evil consequences that
may follow u III wake.
Should the influx of Negro labor
ers to the North, without proper restric-
ton and control, be allowed to preju-
dice public opinion and thus repro
duce Southern prescription in the
Northern states, the last state of the
race would be worse than the first.
The Negro church where these labor
ers are at work should be encouraged
to reach out and lay hold upon every
workman who comes to the Northern
communities, Such agencies as the
Young Mems Christian association
should be established and encouraged.
Tried and experienced social workers
should move among them with view
to relating them sensibly to their new
environment.
'sThis new Industrial movement,
which opens up untold possibilities for
the race, Illustrates anew the i'm
portance Of the higher education
through which 4 body of trained lead
ers may be prepared for the arduous
tasks Of gnidinD Alright the masses of
their race amid the dangers and ricis- |
STUDIES Of life.

FOREST FAMINE
AT WARS END
Unprecedented Demand For
American Lumber Abroad
Expected.

AS soon as the war ends-and it seems
one cannot make a statement without
taking the ending of the war into the
consideration-all nations producing
lumber are going to feel the effect of
the most tremendous demand that has
ever been made upon the forests. There
is demand for lumber all over the
world at this time, but the transporta-
ton charges are so heavy it cannot be
shipped with profit to anyone-except
the transportation lines.
AS one authority expresses it, every
building of all the cities and hamlets
that have been destroyed, every trench
and dugout lined with boards, every
ship sunk, every wharf destroyed, has
meant an additional drain upon the
lumber supply of the world. And the
belligerent nations have been using
their own timber without reserve.

A DAY SCI ASIDE FOB YOU.

Thanksgiving Day this year finds US
at peace, and for this fact, above all
others, the American people give
thanks. No nation in the world is as
powerful and as pacific. Throughout
the globe our people are deemed true
believers in the policy of peace with
all others.
Annually set apart by the president
and the governors of the various states,
Thanksgiving Day is observed with
religious services in the churches, and
as national holiday. 1t is distinctive
feature of our national life.
The Pilgrims set apart a thanks
giving day in 1921. The Massachusetts
Bay Colony adopted the idea in 1880,
when 1t became an annual festival in
that colony. Connecticut and the Dutch
of New Netherlands had occasional
days for giving thanks.
During the War of independence the
Continental Congress appointed a day
each year, except in 1777; each time
recommending it to the executives of
the States. Washington appointed a
day in 1889 and 1895. Madison set apart
a day at the close of the War of 1912.
Afterwards it gradually gained favor
and in 1858 twenty-five governors and
two territories appointed days of
Thanksgiving. Since Lincoln pro-
claimed the fourth Thursday of Noyem-
Der in 1864 every president has annually
followed his example.
Thanksgiving, however, is more than
a national holiday marked by religious
services. 1t is day upon which all
citizens, regardless of their faiths,
should take time to realize the bless
ings under which they live. Who can
consider the benefcence of present ex-
istence without deep sense of graft
tude to the Ruler of created things?
1t should mean more than this. I'm
less you drive resentment from your
heart, and set aside human jealousies,
you cannot partake of the spirit of the
occasion. The observance of this day,
set apart by your president and the
governor of your state, rests entirely
with you. 1t is within you that the
rites are performed. No outward form
is necessary to make you realize how
grateful you are and feeling of thanks
giving should pervade your entire
being.
