THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. 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 so 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 a 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, tire 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 ali kinds of trouble.
What we need Is 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.

Mr.. Frankson, Minnesota real estate
dealer, and former representative from
Fillmore county in the sessions of
1911, 1912 and 1913, is the first candi.
date to file for the Republican nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor. In
announcing his candidacy Mr.. Frank.
son informs the voters that he stands
squarely for the following:
Good government conducted on
economic and businesslike principles.
Strictest economy in the appropria-
ton and disbursement of public
moneys.
Fair and equitable system of taxa
ton.
: Rigid enforcement Of the laws.
Good roads.
Progressive legislation consistent
with the needs and requirements Of

Mr.. Frankson is a Scandinavian, and

more county on which his father To-
Gated in 1854. He received his educa-
ton in the public schools, taught
school thirteen terms and later grad
uated from the law department Of the

tons in all parts of our state, and his
friends throughout the state consider
him an ideal man for the Office he
seeks.
Mr.. Frankson has always been a

has brought this motto home to the
farmers Of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois.

The sentiment Of the race generally.

public health service has collected all
available information regarding health
conditions in foreign ports in order
that needless restrictions shall not be

measures may be taken when neces-
sary. In review Of the world dis
tribution Of cholera. yellow fever,
plague and typhus fever, just issued

Russia, the Straits Settlements, the
Balkan territory. Germany and Indo-
China.
The amount of cholera reported in
Russia during the six months ended
Dec. Is, 1914, and the absence this
year Of reports from that country, save
from Petrograd during the six months
following, indicate that the disease
has been more or less widely prevalent
there. In the six months ended June
%, 1915, cholera was reported to be
present in the prison camps in Ger
many in twenty-three localities, in ST.
Iosia md In ndanhur0 posop opd
Zirka, in Germany. In all probability
these cases were traceable to the seat
Of war in the east. The new infection
in the Balkan territory may have orig.
mated from the constant infection
of Austria Hungary or from Turkey,
where cholera was reported prevalent
during 1914 and 1915.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

1. It teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of Il are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
2. 1t combats in the courts. state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
3. It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social. civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
life.
4. It believes in and teaches the doc
trine Of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality Of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
S. II aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws.
6. 1t is composed of members of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
An Appeal for Funds.
The Association needs mon
ey and new members. 1t costs just
one dollar to join. If you believe in
fair play, in fighting for your rights,
If you believe in organization and CO.
operation, join this Association and
do your bit toward advancing the race
and therby helping to make human
brotherhood a reality and not a
fiction
Send One Dollar to the under
