Colonel Gardner is one of the most
decidedly popular candidates in the
entire history of the State. He is
neither the choice of the country or
city individually, but is the choice of
both. The rural voters of Missouri
endorsed him strongly and then the
cities, including his home town, ST..
Louis, gave him very loyal support.

The colored branch of the Y. w. c.
A. at Indianapolis observed Thanks
giving Sunday with special program
at the building. The increased men,
bership of the organization from 2OC
to $50 women and girls was emphasized
as special reason for thanksgiving
a this time.
Due to the excellent work of the col
ored provisional branch, the Central
association decided to form perma-
nent branch for the colored people.
The first step was taken in this direc-
ton few days ago, when the provi-
sional committee of management was
asked to select from their number six
of the twelve members who will consti-
tute the permanent committee of man
agement. The persons chosen are Mrs
Minnie Whitaker Mrs. j. L. V. Hill,
Mrs. Frances B. Coston, Mrs. Emma
Duvalle, Miss Pauline Battles and Miss
Alice Kelley. The other six members
will be chosen by the Central associa-
ton. Under the new arrangement all
business of the colored branch will be
transacted at the Central association
offices, with Mrs. John Hendricks of
the Central association as chairman of
the committee of management.

The migration of the Negro from the
South to the North, East and West
continues, reports Chattanooga,
Tenn, correspondent of the New York
World. 1t is estimated now that more
than 125,000 have gone to New York,
Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Maryland, Illinois and
Massachusetts. AT the present rate,
if the movement continues for six
months, the South will have lost in a
year 250,O00 Negroes-half as many
as migrated from the southern states
in any two previous decades.
The census returns for 1910 show
that the Negro migration from the old
slave-owning section has kept up a
steady stream to the North, but in no
one year did the total number trans
ferring their residences amount to
more than few hundred annually.
OF the 9109,153 Negroes native to
the South in 1910, S,66S,619 were still
living there while 440,534, or 4.S per
cent. were living outside of the South,
415, 5,533 having migrated to the North
and $4,000 to the West. The figures
show THAT the present migration,
which amounts to an exodus, has re-
suited in transferring to the North,
East and West more than one-fourth
as many as had gone to those sections
in the entire time before.
The Negro population of Florida in
1910 was 30S,6G9, or Al per cent of the
total population of the state. In Geor-
gia it was 1,176,9S7, or 45.1 per cent
of the total population; in Alabama,
90S,2S2, or 42.5 per cent; Tennessee,
473,OSS, or 21.7 per cent, and North
Carolina. 697 ,S43, or BIG per cent.
In Ohio in 1910 there We're Ill, ,452
Negroes, or 2.3 per cent of the entire
population in West Virginia, GA, ,173, or
5.3 per cent; Pennsylvania, 1896, or
20 per cent; New York, 1874 .191, or 1.5
per cent; Michigan, 1T,115, or 0.6 per
cent. and Connecticut, 1911, or Ia
per cent.
In the present movement per cent
of the colored population of Florida, L
per cent of Georgia, per cent of Ala
bama, per cent of North Carolina
have migrated.

A report of the annual meeting OF
the Negro Organization Society of Vir-
ginia, held at Roanoke, shows what Is
accomplished today, under conditions,
in old slave states. Accounts of COM
munity improvement were brought
from many parts of Virginia. The re-
port adds: Everywhere that white
people and the Negro neighbors have
worked together to improve race rela-
tions there has come the twofold
blessing, racial good will and commu-
nifty progress" This is what would be
expected.
The New York Evening Post notes
that as curious but undeniable fact"
the American Negro is profiting by the
war. The Post says: "As u result
of the demand for labor in the North
and the consequent heavy emigration
from the South, there have been some
remarkable appeals in the South for
better treatment of the colored people.
so that they will not be tempted to
move away"
The fact that the American FEEDER
alton of Labor decided to send agents
into the South TO organize the Negro
laborers is a social fact worthy of at
tention. To anyone acquainted with
the history of the Negro this is an
astonishing proof of a change in his
status.

Resolutions on vital questions facing
the Negro race in the South We're
passed by the Negro Missionary and
Educational convention at Houston,
Texas. Following are the resolutions:
"Whereas, there is much restlessness
in the part of the colored people
throughout the South that is resulting
in an exodus of them to other regions
for certain reasons, therefore
"Resolved, that we are pronounced
in our views that the Negroes want to
remain in the South. We love the
South as our native section and want
to encourage our people to remain
here We furnish honest labor in the
fields, in the shops, in the homes of the
white people whom we love and believe
in, but we cannot control our people,
we fear, unless we are protected from
undue impositions and violence. The
courts are in the hands of our white
friends and to them we are ready to
defer in all matters.
"Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
as n convention to use every means to
suppress vice and crime among our
people and to help in bringing all law
violarors to justice.
"Resolved, That we respectfully ask
that the law with regard to public
travel which provides for facilities of
travel be complied with, as it is now
III many roads OF the country the law
Is not complied with. We call the at
-ention of the public to this important
fact. We do not protest against the
separation of the races, but do respect

Girard writes in the Philadelphia Led
ger.
AS there are about 10000 Negroes
in Philadelphia, the Negro home is a
vital thing. Down in Dickinson street
the other day were opened the first
of fourteen model dwellings for one of
the oldest of our hyphenates, the Afro
American.
The Whittier center acts before 1t
breaches. Its method of helping the
Negro is not to read beautiful essays
to him about his destiny, but to teach
him how to eat and sleep, how to rear
his child in health, how to make n
real home.
Hence the Whittier center has built
this first block of apartments exclusive
ly for the Negro. 1t is not "A charity,

cause of the Importance of sugar in
the Frenchman's morning coffee.
When the government recently in
teryened and fixed maximum retail
selling price of one franc 20 centimes
kllogram for sugar equivalent to
II cents a pound, stocks became
invisible and the retail grocers began
refusing to deliver sugar that they
mad bought at one franc 60 in the
expectation of further rise. The
housewives and cooks parried the
manoeuvre by leaving on the grocer's
counter the tea. coffee and other
things they had bought In case the
grocer had been bluffing he produced
the sugar rather than lose Gus

Now there is plenty of the granu

simultaneously with the distribu-
ton of granulated sugar the authori-
ties are moving against the whole

quires the declaration at police head
quarters Of all quantities OF sugar
held by any person or association of
persons in excess of 500 pounds it
also warns all dealers that over
bidding the official price, spreading
OF false reports about stocks and

Dogs Amonu the Filters.

When Lieutenant and Mrs. Theodore
Marburg, Jr., arrived in this country
recently they brought with them a lit
tie Scottish terrier, Jockomeo, which
is one of several of the breed called
aviation hounds" by the British forces
along the war front in France, where
they figure largely in the aviation
camps.
The little canine fiier has a short,
low-lying body, a long nose, with
rough, wiry, black hair, streaked with
white, and pair Of brilliant eyes that
express q wealth of intelligence.
Marburg said Jockomeo and the others
of his breed in the camp are trained
to guard the hangers and give warning
when hostile aeroplane makes it's ap-
pearance.
These dogs make flights with the
aviators and hold the waste, spanners
and other tools in their mouths when
the aviators have occasion to make
repairs OF adjustments.
