BERT WILLIAMS A PHILOS-
OPHER AS WELL AS
COMEDIAN

Bert Williams is a philosopher
as well as a comedian. Among
other wise things he says:
There's no such thing as social
equality The poor white man
kids himself into believing he is
as good as any other white man.
The rich white man derives much
solace from contemplation of how
much better he is than the poor
white man. The colored man
with money has it all over the
white man who is without mon
ey. The Colored man who tries
to get into the white mans class
usually makes a bad mess of it.
The Colored man who holds him
self detached is happiest. The
whole proposition of social dis
dinction, viewed from detached
position, is humorous. Ihave no
social ambition myself. Individu-
lism is the guide-word. My
remedy?
Social distinctions are inevitable.
If there are public places thst do
not wish to serve me, they are
places / do not care to patronize.
My answer to all who ask what
is to be done about the social
problem, in it's relation to the Ne
gro race is the same. You are a
Colored man; then, be just what
you are. Develop yourself indi-
vidually, and you will be more
distinguished than if you were
merged into the mass of white
men most of whom live humble
lives, never gain any prominence
in the world" This is worth
thinking about.

Mr.. Hughes defined a true Ameri-

''The man who is true American
is one who rejoices in the victories
of our institutions in giving opportu-
mites in which everybody shall have
a share, not a selected few, but the
diffusion of prosperity among the

and to exchange good wishes with

STRIKE.

Lena Smith, Is years old, colored,
1916 Garrett street, employed in a
shirt-waist factory at Third and Arch
streets, is in the Pennsylvania Hos
pital with internal injuries that may
prove fatal. She was thrown into a
cellar last Wednesday morning, strik-
ing some iron pipes and junk.
A strike is in progress at the fac
tory because of the unwillingness of
white girls to work in the same room
with colored operatives and Miss
Smith had just returned from the
Fourth and Race streets police station
where she had been witness against
three girls charged with disorderly
conduct, breech of the peace and re-
sisting an officer. The girls, who
were fined $3.50 each. are Clara Sab

Cities of the second class cannot
have separate schools for Negroes
in Kansas. This is the ruling of the
Supreme Court in an application of
three Negroes of Galena for writ of
mandamus to compel the city to ad-
nit their children to the schools at
tended by white children. Last sum
mer the city established a separate
school for Negro children and provid-
ed it with as good teachers and equip
ment as the regular schools. The
court granted the writ, holding that
no discrimination could be made be-
tween white children and Negroes.

competent colored men to prominent
positions
Although the meeting was well at
tended, representatives being present
from the various sections of the State,
there was no enthusiasm. Everybody
admitted that President Wilson's un-
friendly attitude toward the Negro
had not made him supporters among
the colored voters of the country.
Despite the discouraging prospects
ahead, however. the colored Demo
Gratis of New York State plan to con-
duct a vigorous campaign this fall.
At last weeks meeting an organiza-
ton was formed, to be known as the
Colored Democratic League of New
York State, and the following officers
were chosen to serve for two years:
James A. Ross, Buffalo, chairman;
the Rev. j. r. White, New York, vice
chairman; John Morris, New York,
treasurer; L. w. Duke, Buffalo, secre-
tary; John Mcneil, New York, assist

The speakers openly confessed that
prospects for a Democratic victory
were not as bright as four years ago,
and that hundreds of colored voters
who were enthusiastic Wilson men in
1912 are today opposed to his cleo
tion.

WAR PROSPERITY
VS..
WHEN THE WAR GETS THRU

Our factories are running now,
Almost day and night,
Making ammunition just
To carry on the fight.
But when the war is ended,
What will there be to do?
Our men will walk in idleness
When the war gets thru.
Westinghouse has set the pace,
He's closing up his plant;
The host of Wilson's boosters
Should take limiting slant,
And see what's sure to happen
To thousands. not few.
Out of work and walking streets
When the war gets thru.
Now when the war is over,
And wheels begin to spin
In European factories,
Making things again
To feed and clothe Americans
Cheaper than our men can do,
Free trade will see it's foul results
| When the war gets thru.
The Democratic policies,
Free trade and open door
Will drive away prosperity.
And multiply the poor,
! Our laborers will seek in vain
For something else to do
Than walk the streets in search of
work
When the war gets thru.
There is a way to dodgs the fate
That we are facing now;
Defeat the Democratic bunch
! That's causing all the row.
Put in Mr.. Hughes in Wilson's place,
Clean up both houses, too.
And we will all be happy

Legislature of Alabama during the re-

at his home here. He owned con-

be quite wealthy. Despite the fact
that he held State office at critical
time, Townsend was generally es-
teemed by the white people. He re-
tired from active business several
years ago.

WANTS NO ARMY BAR TO
SOLDIERS.

Washington, d. c., Sept. Is.
According to Secretary Baker, the
War Department is opposed to legis-
lation that would prevent further en-
listment in the military service of the
army. That fact is disclosed in cor
respondence just made public be-
tween Senator Taggart of Indiana
and the Secretary of War.
The Indiana Senator sent to the
War Department copy of a bill in
troduced in Congress to prohibit the
enlistment of colored men in the
army. He asked for the views of the
Secretary of War on the subject. Sen
ator Taggart said he was opposed to
the bill, and expressed the hope that
it did not meet the approval of the
department.
Secretary Baker replied:
"Those who are familiar with the
history of our country from the ar
mics organized by George Washing
ton, in the American revolution,
down to the present day, know that
brave and often conspicuously gal
liant service has been rendered by col
ored troops. In the most recent in
stance, at Carrizal, in Mexico, those
colored troops conducted themselves
with the greatest intrepidity. and re-
flected nothing but honor upon the
uniform they wore.'

audience of the day in the open air
here today, outlined the policies for
which he stands and declared that he

tive power for progress.
"I want American rights protected

said. 1 desire to see a great driving

unless we have that loyalty and love
for our country which will enable us
to get up steam to supply energy.
And therefore, that we may have

"Who is not the friend of labor? If a

the friend of America, because we
are all laborers in this country and
we have all got to go up or down to-
gether."
Mr.. Hughes went into detail con-
cerning his tariff views. He quoted
Henry Clay in support of his declar-
alton that the doctrine of rEotective
tariff was not partisan doctrine, but
"a sound American doctrine" The
protective tariff, he said would have
to be applied to enable America to
meet European competition after the
war.
"If it is not" he said, 1--WE will not
