This Mothers Day, the
Saddest of All, Marks
Her Supreme Sacrifice


be May 1S, tomorrow.
Never since this day was set apart to
consecrate the holiness of motherhood
and refresh in the hearts and minds Of
people the significance and beauty Of the
lowering care bestowed by the most
Indifferent mother upon her offspring
has it been baptized with such tears as
will be shed.
For within the last month the moth
ers Of the land have been called upon to
make the supreme sacrifice.
For the principle Of motherhood IS
love and a sheltering love at that and
in its heart is no room for hatred en-
nifty, bloodshed or the countless hor-
rors which. men have brought to their
aid to slay their felIowmen.
That war presses heaviest on women
is true. for to women brotherhood Is a
reality, "for all men are their sons and
the earth mothers all. .
Long before the baby eyes open to the
light of day, the mother heart sings in
her breast with the hopes and joys
which she cherishes for her child.
No harm shall come to him.
No shadow shall fall across his path.
No bIghting wind of misfortune shall
he realize as long as she can interpose
her body between him and the cold,
unfeeling outside world.
She will carry him in her arms thru
life, if she can, and no stone shall pierce
his tender feet.
This curious feeling of helpless child
hood persists in the woman toward her
child tho he grow to a stalwart man.
The greatest grief of mother is that
she is powerless. at last, to spare her
child that finally she must let him 60 and
receive the stings and arrows of the
world.
What then are her feelings when she
sees him go to war?
When she hears the gay voice in its
last goodbye?
When she sees the brave smile fading
away from her sight?

blood than for that of the carrion crow.
waits for him at every turn?
We can fancy her feelings in the still
ness of the night, when all the world
seems sleeping.
We can fancy how she is wondering
where he is; if he is well; if he is
wounded; if he is cared for or lying
alone and unaided on battlefield; if he
is thinking of her or if he has his mind
and the power to think
This, her country DEGREES, Is her re-
ward for bearing him.
This, she is reminded by the theory
of war, is the purpose for which his
blossoming intelligence and beautiful
body was intended
And with the willingness Of the mother
to sacrifice, she accepts, with the finest
of patriotism, as sufficient guerdon for
the weeks, months, years of care, the
sleepless nights, the careful nursing, the
aspirations. the shielding from wicked
ness and harm, the love poured out IN
unstinted measure, that he should at the
end receive a medal placed upon a cold
and unresponsive breast

MOBs AND THEIR MAKEUP.
A. G. PRICE.

Editor Ohio State Journal:
Permit me to make few remarks 4
about mobs in general and the East
st. Louis mob in particular.
1t is a well-known fact that mobs
are not composed of our best people.
You never see an educated, moral,
heightened gentleman in them, neither
of the aristOcratic or middle class. AS
a rule only men of low tone, low NOR
ais. low social position and of low
character constitute mObs and it is
we'll known that mobs are always
cOwardly. The East st. Louis mob was
composed largely of the ignorant,
rough and tough elements of both
cities and they were not as good, upon
an unpreiudiced comparison, as the
Negroes they mobbed. And, what was
worse. the police seemed to be of the
same low class and in addition, had
periured themselves by their failure
TO do their duty
If any man wants to take a measure
of his own standard let him ask him.
self if he sympathiZes, or not, with
mobs. They are nearly all alike.
The blacklist day in our history was
he day in 1920 when 20 slaves were
landed at James town, Va. 1t was the
beginning of slavery and the slave
trade in this country, the most diabol-
ical institution that ever affected us.
the South owned and trafficked in hui
mans, while claiming to be the land
of the free, while the North acquiesced
1t was the cause of bitterness between
the two sections which eventuated in
four years of bloody war, each side
enduring suffering and losses in pro-
portion to it's part in the crime Of
slavery according tothe judgement Of
just God.
AS legacy 100000 of helpless and
ignorant people were left in uor care.
How have we administered that trust

Justly, as a Christian people should
Not by any means The people of the

of our race, especially, a little CON-
munication that | have asked the
Nashville dailies to publish, for l
personally have seen many of them
approached by the blue-coat in the
transfer station and demanded to
stand up when they were seated on
the north side. The communication
follows:
Negroes in the Transfer Station.
Mr.. Editor:
Kindly allow an expression in your
columns concerning the recent en-
actment of race discrimination that is
being practiced by the street railway
authorities in the transfer station.
Ever since the passage of the jim
crow law that segregated Negroes on
the street cars, they have in many
instances received second-class &C
commodation and paid frst-cass
fare; in cases tnnumerable they have
had to stand in the aises and hang on
the straps until reaching their destI-
nation, when there were vacant seats
on the car but could not sit because
the law was not being complied with
by the other race.
Now comes the new and more hui
initiating innovation of not allowing
Negroes to sit on the north side in
the transfer station. There are two
or three facts that ! beg to state in
connection with this matter:
Negroes spend thousands of dollars
with the street railway company
daily.
The few Negroes who stand or sit
on the north side in the transfer sta
ton are exceptionally orderly and
conduct themselves in a becoming
manner
A committee of representative Me-
groes. have gone to the street rail-
way authorities for information con-
corning the matter and we're told that
no order had been issued by them to
that effect thus showing that we are
being insulted by an officer of the
law who is acting without authority,
Only those who have been asked
up and a few others know of the law,
if there be such q law, because of
lack of official publicity.
Now MIR. Editor, it viii be con-
coded by any rinht-thinking and fair
minded person that since we must
undergo this gross Injustice, we at
least deserve to be notified Of what
to expect, thereby GIVING US oppor-
tunity to avoid being nsulted. And
in view of these facts, and keenlY
feeling the stnu Of such treatment,
| am prompted to ask: Is there any
redress for US, and to whom shall we
appeal?

TO OUR WOMEN, ESPECIAL

Mr.. Editor Nashville Globe:
| have always had an indiscribable
interest in the civic welfare of my
people, chiefly because having lived
amidst environments of race discri-
mination all of my life, | realize
what the bitter pangs accompanying
jim-crowism and race discrimination
mean.
Nashville, our Athens of the
South" has always boasted Of her
superior treatment of the Negro as
to public utilities, ETC., and we were
at one time inclined TO concede this
in her favor. AS the years go by
more vivid is the appearance of race
discrimination and prejudice until to-
day Nashville takes her place among
the other southern cities that refuse
Negroes common rights.
This fact is not more plainly vindi-
Gated than in the recent new order of
of things that has taken place In
the public transfer station Of our
city l think we are lacking in the
condemnation Of such, regardless of
the good we may do. Wishing to
arouse little sentiment about this
matter. ! am addressing the women

PROF. SMITHS REPORT.


With pleasure we are giving space this
week, to the report Of Prof. F. G.
Smith, principal of Pearl High School
in order that the friends and patrons
Of education may know exactly the
status of affairs as pertains to the High
School. We agree with the learned
principal in all he says Our ardent
desire is that the Negroes Of Nashville
get together and formulate ways and
means whereby the high school course
may be heightened. There is no deny
ing the fact that the course as now
prescribed for this institution, is en-
tirely too short, and lacks many things.
It should be The business Of the Ne
Er0es Of Nashville, to inform the Board
OF Education Of the things needful.
1t seems our people have been grumb-
ling about the inadequacy Of our school
facilities, but none of them seem
willing to further a movement looking
toward improvement. 1t would be
idle to say, that Nashville has an ideal
school system for Negroes for such is
a long ways from the truth. There
can be much Improvement made, but
it will not be made until the people
let the Board of Education know that
they demand it in the name of right
and justice. 1t may be true that the
taxes we pay is a mere bagatelle as
compared with the taxes paid by the
regnant race, but if an educated and
industrious citizenship is deserved
fair play should be accorded us.
There is much that can be done by
the Board of Education. We are sure
il the matter is put before them by a
body Of men who have no scissors to
sharpen, no Interior end to serve
that the Board will hearken to some
Of our requests. The Negro pupil
deserves to fare we'll at the hands OF
those in authority. Again, we commend
Prof Smiths report and trust that the
Board Of Education can see the wis
dom of his recommendations. In jus
tice to Prof. Smith, we add that The
above was written without his con
sent or knowledge
