The general public ha shardly real
lied that already so many Negroes
had answered the call to the colors.
The people hear a lot about race pref
udice and much less about race pa
triotism. They hear of every Negro
who goes wrong and commits a crime,
but not so much of those who make
the same sacrifices as are made by
Americans whose skins are white.
They are more or less disposed to
deny that America belongs to black
and white alike and that the burdens
which must be borne by a common
citizenry are the black mans burdens
as well as the white mans. Even
when the Negro proceeds upon this
patriotic assumption he is opposed
rather than encouraged. He must al
most force his way into the armies of
freedom and humanity, at least so far
as being encouraged to do so or
praised for doing so is concerned.
1t is obvious. however, that the
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-12-15

same problems inhere in the Ease of
Negro troops as in that of white. In
deed, these problems are much more
acute, for reasons which are easily un-
derstood. The white soldier is given
every evidence of appreciation.
Everything possible is done for his
comfort and welfare. He is feted and
lionized; he is sewed for and knitted
for; he is the object of a universal
esteem, manifested in a thousand diff
ferent ways. All this is eminently
proper and certainly no one would be
so churlish as to grudge the white
patriot an iota of what he receives.
But the black man who is willing
to make the same sacrifice is just as
patriotic. Colonel Roosevelt has testi-
fled freely that the Negro makes an
excellent soldier, The black soldier
is amenable to the same laws as the
white soldier and he ought to be made
to feel that his loyalty is appreciated.
Instead of this attitude on the part
of all the people, he is made an object
of aversion eve by some of the men
with whom he is training for the
American contingents. 1t is highly
desirable. without considering any ele-
ments of comparison whatever, that
he be trained as efficiently as pos
sible; that the proper influences be
thrown around him that the obstacles
which he must encounter should be
made easier to surmount; that he be
encouraged and assisted in the effort
to give his best to the country for
which he is willing to give his life
if need be.
This is not the view of any extrem-

But when it came to removing the wounded tire from the first designs of these de mountable rims the same old trouble was encountered, it was no child's play; about the only difference was that the job was done at home when one had plenty of time and tools to use in doing it. It was still no fun to take the old tire off this rim and put a new one on in its place, or to put 1t back after 1t had been repaired. This is where the tool shown in the accom- panying picture came in to help things considerably. By means of it, this clincher type of demountable rim can be easily and quickly contracted at Its joint so the tire can be slipped of very readily; 1t also holds the rim contract ed while putting good tire back on.- Farming Business.
