A Remarkable Woman.

Mrs. Hetty Green has paid the debt OF
nature, as surely as she paid money debts
while she lived, for that was one of her
life tenets-to pay what she owed, and
promptly. This helped to make her rich, for
people knew they could depend on her. She
was reputed to be the richest woman In the
world, but the fact did not make her any
thing but plain, practical woman, acess-
bic to all who had right to meet and talk
with her. Of course, we know next to moth
ing of her private life. There was not OPP
portunity for that, and we had no right to
know. The newspapers printed much mat
ter about her, much of which we dare say
was Imagination. But the whole world
knows of the great business success she
achieved of her wonderful judgment and
executive ability. We can and will believe
that she merited the success and prestige
that came to her, and we can also easily
believe that she must have also done many
helpful, generous deeds that the world did
not know of, and that her life example was
in all respects wholesome.

Some of Our "Illiterates.'

Whenever Golfers Weekly is at a loss for
something to put in its pages it takes a
whack at the South. These attacks used to
arouse considerable Southern resentment
until it dawned on those whom it angered
that Golfers doesn't cut much of a swath
any more, having refrigerated steadily in
prestige and patronage the past few years.
But Golfers said the other day:
Democratic solidarity is greatest
where illiteracy is most common, where
public education is least regarded, and
where all the attributes of modern CIV
ilization, material and spiritual, exist in
the smallest degree"
The Southern press has deigned to notice
this latest vituperation, and several of the
prominent dailies of the South have had
something to say in reply. The Mobile Reg
lister very effectively points out that from
this illiterate stock come the president of
the United States and the leaders of both
houses of congress, including John Sharp
Williams, ablest member of the federal sem
ate in ability, scholarship and culture; the
chief Justice of the supreme court, and JUS
tice Brandeis.
From the South, the Register points out,
came some other illiterates the father of his
country, the father of the declaration of
independence, the father of our constitution,
the father of the Monroe doctrine, Amer
ica's greatest Christian soldier, Americas
greatest poet and writer, and Americas
greatest geographer; and from the South,
too, there came another famous illiterate,
known by reputation to Golfers and others
of us-Abraham Lincoln.
1t is fact, as the Mobile paper sets
forth, that the illiterates of the South are
its negroes, almost unanimously followers of
the party to which Golfers belongs. The
Register neglects to mention the reason that
negroes today form part of our national
population is because, many years ago, the
first of them were imported into New Eng
land from Africa by Northern people.
In days gone by Golfers Weekly had a
reputation worth valuing and conserving,
but in this period of its senility it is becom-
ing famous principally for wilfully and mali
ciously perverted statements and deep-seat-
ed venom.

Rates of Interest.

Mr. Peacock, the representative of Dough-
erty county in the legislature, has introduce
ed bill to prohibit the charging of usury
on loans The general intent of the propos-
ed measure is good, and there should be
legislation along that line.
1t may, however, be safely asserted with
out argument that whenever an individual
finds it necessary to negotiate what is ordi-
narily termed "short loan" he may reason
ably expect to pay interest at higher rate
than that allowed by law. If, as an example,
some sorely pressed citizen should find him
self faced with the dire necessity of obtain
ing SO without loss of time, and if he cared
to use the amount only for one week or
thirty days, he would be most unreasonable
borrower if he should demand that no more
than the legal rate of interest be charged
him, for that rate would be less than one per
cent; or, to use somewhat more imposing
figures, he could scarcely expect that one
would be willing to extend him the use of
500 for one month for a paltry 80 cents,
which would be the legal rate of interest.
There is no moral wrong involved when
one pays several times the rate which the
statute books fix when payments are made
in instances such as are stated in the fore
going example, but there is wrong and an
injustice committed when any Individual,
firm or corporation deliberately takes ad-
vantage of the necessities of an unfortunate
and forces him to pay high, ruinous inter
est rate in order to secure money with
which to meet some emergency.
In other words, no man or set of men has
a legal or moral right to reap financial re-
wards when they employ as a vehicle the
of those whose needs must be
met.
Involved is a broad principle of ordinary
justice so simple and applicable that it per-
mits of no argument. To some questions
there is only one answer. This is one of
that kind. There is merely the one side;
there is no other, nor can there be.

Jewish Emancipation.

As a ray of sunshine pentrating the dis
NAL clouds of the misery-bringing European
war is the probability that it may be follow
ed by the complete emancipation of the
Jewish race. 1t is a great problem which
the Jewish people should unite to solve.
That there is division was voiced by DR..
Maurice H. Harris at the recent semi-annual
conference in Philadelphia of the Eastern
Council of Reform Rabbits, of which organi-
cation he is president. He indicated that
the divergence of opinion is not regarding
the central problem, but as to the method
of effecting the desired result. "In so vast
an ISSUE" he said, 1--WE must expect diver
gence of opinion, and the candid utterance
of any honest conviction should not be
frowned down"
Such counsel is both wise and timely. The
opportunity of the ages likely will be pre-
sented with the ending of the European war.
It can be improved only by solidarity of
sentiment of all Jewry. The great project
of world freedom for the Jew should not
be foiled by intra-racial discussions.

Government Road Money.

We are going to see whether government
funds to aid in building country roads will
be of real benefit.
The lower house of congress passed the
Shackleford BILL which provided that the ma
ton give not exceeding $25,OOO,OOO a year
to aid in state road building. The senate
substituted the Bankhead bill and passed
it, providing that from 1917 to 1921 total
of S85, O0O, 900 should be spent by the ma
tional government in helping build state
roads The secretary of agriculture will
control apportionment of the fund, and the
office of roads will have general supervision
of construction of all roads in which federal
money is invested.
There is considerable difference between
the house and senate plans in detail, but
they get to the same place. 1t is a testi-
mony to the increased interest in roads that
this legislation passed both houses by large
majorities, whereas a few years ago it was
impossible to get such proposal out of
committee.
1t may be good business or bad business
for the national government to invest money
in such works of internal improvement. That
has been debated since the days of James
Madison; but it is certain that whenever
public sentiment got sufficiently insistent on
the public works the federal government has
found way to make the investment.
The present is only a beginning OF
investment in public roads. If the fed
eral government is going to WELD most OF
the worthwhile powers in this country it vii
have to pay big share of the expense
With great many people a centralized gov
eminent, especially if it furnishes LITTLE
money for something, is not held in as mucl
disfavor as it once was

Horrors of Verdun.
Mad, Wild Debauch of Curses, Groans,
Blood, Fire and Steel.

What was Verdun? Personal danger, pain
of shell splinters, aches of fatigue, gnawing
hunger, throttling thirst, torture of prema-
ture burial in mud and snow? All these,
already faded from minds of soldiers; what
remains is memory of nights, Dantesque Wis
ions of great hills of dead, mounds of bod
les prickly with weird arms, legs, hands, now
painted red by burning houses, now painted
green by glare of rockets, now white in cold
shafts of searchlight; deafening explosions,
then shrieks, curses, groans; mad, wild de-
bauch of blood, fire steel-hell and earth
quake together.
And worse-the silence! the waiting!
A French infantry captain who was there,
writes: Fear! Was l afraid? 1 do not
know. All felt during the charges was an
extraordinary giddiness. The cannonade,
the incessant vibration OF everything, daze9

in an automatic looping-the-loop. The aw-

patriotism, mutual emulation, enable
YOU to bear it, but for these sentiments we
should collapse on the ground, mad or help
less. Under the hurricane of steel the mind
seems to become paralyzed.
When the noise stops, when the cannon
become silent, then you feel something is
going to happen! But what? You are ready
for anything. But you know nothing! The
moment is horrible At such seconds l have
seen in my trench soldiers shudder-soldiers
who had proved their bravery; now they
would grasp each others hands, huddle to-
gether like frightened children.
"This is the terror of phantoms, stronger
than any fear of the real. In spite of my
own keen critical sense l, too, have felt it.

still more fearsome. Sudden sounds follow
unexpected illumnations-the lighting up
of men and things by searchlights- rain
bow-colored flames which from the sky re-
veal in a flash an unnatural red, green, yell
low landscape-all these strange optical eff
fects unnerve even the coolest of u.s.
"The battlefield at night is series of Wis
ions of the Apocalypse! 1t is impossible to
get an exact idea of the ensemble. You feel
that you are surrounded, enveloped by the
unknown. You are in the midst of a dance
of phantoms. Death haunts you. An atmos-
phere of terror penetrates the senses and the
mind with an imponderable anxiety.
clown jewellers are generally more sensi-
tive to those horrors than men of the coun-

The Songs of SlaUery.
From the Fort Worth (Texas) Star.

The negro folk song festival which will
be held in Dallas next week, aside from be-
ing musical event equal in Importance to
a season of grand opera, is to be commended
also because of its fundamental purpose to
keep alive among the negroes of the South
the sorrow songs of the race which they first
learned to sing in slavery
We are not impressed by the announce
ment that "Black Patti" will be on the pro-
gram or that other famous negro "artists"
are to be heard Of chief Importance, we
think, are not the modern touches which
seem to be thought necessary to the success
of the affair, but the fact that 'Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot" and other grooming melo-
dies of slavery times are to be sung.
1t was a custom of the late Booker 7.
Washington, whenever he found a large
gathering of negroes before him, to have
them sing one of those old songs together.
"Sing Just as if there were no white peo-
pie here" he would say. "Sing just as you
would at church about 1 o'clock in the morn
ing"
And then in mighty volume ''Been a-Lis-
t'nin'," or some other such song, would go
up from the crowd We suppose there is
better singing somewhere, and it may be
that our musical taste is not sufficiently cul-
tivated, but we must confess we have never
heard any we would know was better if some
musical highbrow didn't tell US so.
Then Washington would admonish the ne
groes never to forget those old songs and
never permit them to die.
1t is because we feel that such festivals
as the Dallas affair are carrying out to some
extent this admonition of the greatest negro
of his time that we believe the Texas Normal
Institute for Negroes is to be commended
for projecting it. When the negroes initiate
white folks in their singing the performance
at best is but poor one. But when they
sing their own songs in their own way there
is nothing quite like it in the whole realm of
music.
The sorrow songs of the negro race should
be kept alive, and only the negroes them
selves can accomplish this
