NATIONAL NEWS NOTES

Brief Bits of News and Comment
on Men and Women.
Des Moines, IOwa.-The leading
daily newspaper of this place, in a
well-considered editorial expression
with reference to the scant attention
the Negro receives in time of peace
and the solicitude vouchsafed him in
time of war, says: A demand is now
before Congress for a great national
school for Negroes, made, strange as
1t may appear, by Congressman
from Tennessee. 1t is to be a school
for military training. The Southern
leaders who during fifty years of
peace have permitted the Negro to
secure his own training for civil
life, have suddenly become thorough
ly aroused to the need Of government
instruction in the art of war. Of
course, if We are to prepare soldiers
much may be said for the proposed
school. The Negro has stood up be-
side the best soldiers in the world,
and he is more willing to fight for
the flag than many to whom the flag
has meant more in privilege. But
is 1t not worth thinking about that we
should be so suddenly solicitous for
the training of the Negro in times of
war and SO little solicitous in times
of peace? Suppose the Congress man
from Tennessee had proposed great
national training school for the Ne
gro fifty years ago to fit him better
for the common duties of American
life?
