INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES.

There seems to be false concep-
ton of this highly important and
very necessary duty on the part of
those who serve on the committee
for the purpose of investigating the
moral standing of the candidates,
prior to admission into the society
of men of high ideals, free from
Flemish or the point of finger.
Now this is as truly sacred duty
as the protecting of ones sanctum
sanctorum from the intrusion of a
moral reprobate. Ideals are set up,
towards the realization of such, all
strive with one eye single to their
consummation. To permit lax or in
different methods on the part OF two
or three to Illustrate good purposes
and worthy standards is a glaring in
Justice to the entire organization and
cannot be too highly condemned
Those who are appointed to this
trust ought, first, to be sensed with
the Importance of their undertaking,
as their is no other function in the
building up of an organization so
necessary; calling for such careful,
intelligent and tactful experience, as

The investigating committee is
truly watching over its Threshold
so that none pass over who are not
competent to-perpetuate its princi-
pies or tenets and ultimately hand
them down to posterity. unsullied.
Am erroneous idea, however, seems
to have gotten into the minds of
some that all required of them is to
interview the candidate, then report
favorable to the general assembly.
This is wrong from any angle you
may consider it. Some advance the
thought that vouchers would not in
ltroduce into an organization any but
trustworthy, upright men, therefore
they are only called upon to size up
or give the "once over" before rec
ommending him; besides it would
discourage and possibly offend the
voucher if the committee had to re-
port unfavorably and so 1t is not poll.

COLORED TROOPS AND DRAFT,

What occurred at Houston last week
ought to suggest to the war depart
ment great care in the handling of
the Negro troops in the war. Readers
cannot have forgotten the sanguin-
airy conflicts between Negro and
white soldiers at Macon, Admission and
other camps in 1898 and Brownsville
later. Rioting against the Negroes at
East st. Louis and Springfield, ILL.,,
and clashes between white guards
men and Negroes at Springfield o.,
and Chester Pa, recently show that it
is easy to precipitate these race out
breaks.
Congress has seen fit to call an
equal proportion Of both races into
service for the war. The draft af-'
fects white and black, alike. Properly
handled the colored soldier is brave.
His record at San Juan hill was of
the best. Col Roosevelt's trough
riders" were saved at Santiago
in 1898 from perilous situation
by the Tenth infantry of colored
troops. 1t would be unfair to deprive
the Negroes of the south of an op-
portunity to serve again for Old Glory
At the same time we know from
sad experience of the folly of permit
ting encampments of colored troops
in the south, and even about northern
cities there may be clashes.
At Houston the trouble seems to
have started with the arrest by the
police of that city of a cloOred
woman, and rough handling the color
ed troops habitually received from
the police. Then about $50 of the
blacks ran amuck" and shot up the
town. The exhibition was a poor tes-
timonial to the discipline that they
were kept under, and should suggest
very strongly that ball cartridges be
issued to colored troops or indeed to
any troops only under the best sub.
! lection to army regulation. But what
of the future? Soon there are to be
several hundred thousand of Negroes
assembled under the draft in various
concentration camps.
So far, orders have been received
only for white troops. This indicates

worked out.
The Chicago Tribune, a friend of
the Negro, berrials what has happened
and expresses regret that Booker
Washington and other Negro leaders
who counseled wisely, are dead. II
sees necessity of every influence be-
| ing brought to bear to restrain the
unruly.
The Tribune makes this appeal:
However, there are organizations
and there are men who can power.
fully influence those organizations
such men, for instance, as Motion, as
Du Bots, as Tanner, as Chestnut, as
Braithwaite, as E. e. Wilson. If they
represent various types of opinion, SO
much the better. Let them unite in
demanding that the colored churches
the colored fraternal orders, the col
ored business mems league, the color
ed universities, and the colored news
paper editors awaken the whole race
to the seriousness of the present cricis
so that every colored trooper will be
made to feel that his own people are
unanimous in holding him to honor
able behavior.

business way. This is especially true
of Negro Raptists as it refers to their
educational system of the state.
The public school system is to be
congratulated according to the report.
While we are not prophet nor the
sun of prophet, we venture to pre-
dict higher and nobler things for the
public school system of the city of
Little Rock, since the elevation Of
that scholarly and splendid school
man, Prof. l. T. Gillem, to their head.
Let the people of Little Rock rally
nightly around their school system
and give this young genius an oppor'
tunity to develop the educational man.
hood that there is in him. And, in Or
der that the college forces and espe.
cially the Baptists may not be cha
grined, let them rise up in the
strength Of their manhood, and so re-
organize their college work, that the
work done and the system in vogue
will comply with the highest methods
of educational procedure, and hence
command the respect and commenda-
ton of the world about us. For We
cannot do much as long as public
opinion says that we are old and anti.
quated and inferior in our educational
life. The one man idea of doing
things is so nauseating to first-class
people everywhere until the people
will never rally around an institution
whose public record shows it to be a
one or two-man machine.
The Arkansas Baptist College
among all the institutions is the one
most severely criticised and therefore
every Baptist in the state is humiliat-
ed at the same time.

slowly entered the spacious parlor
while the beautiful wedding march
was played by Miss Boddie The
decorations were of ferns and cut
flowers.
The bride was most becomingly
gowned in gray charmeuse with
georgette crepe finishing, she carried
lovely bouquet of brides roses. Only
few intimate friends were present.
A number of valuable presents were
received, one of the number being a
check of $3.50 from the brides father.
Immediately after the ceremony, the
bridal party was motored to the
residence of Mr.. Hunt, where the
wedding breakfast was served. At

man entertained them at dinner.

is an accomplished musician having
received her training at Roger Will
liams University and the A. and 1
State Normal, Nashville, Tenn.
Mr.. Carter is a native of Murfrees-
boro, Tenn. He is very promising

only that the leaders Of such a project
want something they can control
What is the sense of this notion ex-
cept it goes to show it is the money
they are after and that is what they
hope to get? At the time we first
thought to build a Publishing House
we never expected anything except
literature and value received, and this
we get No one will deny that is all
we got when we worshipped at the
white mans altar and bought his
literature. Then why expect more
now? In our own Publishing House
we are employing more than one hun
dred skilled and unskilled laborers,
paying them fairly good wages and
they are all colored men and women,
persons of our own race. When we
worked and bought literature from the
white brethren, probably two colored
persons, not more than three, received
financial benefits from our action.

the cloak room and possibly one Ne
gro who acted as janitor. The trouble
is, there are some of the so-called
leaders among the Baptists who want
to control and thus become dictators
of the whole denominational work
But it is unlike real Baptists to ac-
cept of dictatorship and the Baptist
church as body will never wear the
yoke of dictatorship without protest

Convention, shall be there to give 1t
my patronage. Do not ever shoot
your taw too far in the grass, Dut
stand by the thing that we have made
through our cooperation so that the
entire race may learn how to climb
This lesson of helping each other
seems hard for us to learn as race,
but if we ever amount to anything
as a people we must learn it. The
thing that has kent mp down as pco-
ple is not our engaging in politics, but
is the lack of cooperation that IS
prevalent among us.
It is the policy of the Baptist
church that the people must rule, but
the rule laid down by the incorpora
tors is that seven men must rule and
others may be added as such time
and place as the dictators may sug-
gest. But this kind of doctrine wiz
never be accepted by a real Bantist
as long as he or she knows the fun
damental PRINCIPLES of the Baptist
church and has the courage to stand
hard by those principles and convic-
lions.

WILSON LEARNS 0f
 RUSSlA'S ATTITUDE
Assured It Will Not Make Separ-
 ate Peace With Germany

1 Washington, April 24-The Russian
 people and their new government will l not conclude a separate peace" with Germany, but, on the contrary, will
 resort to any sacrifice rather, than 1 abandon the war without achieving the original objecr of defeating Ger
 many. Information to this effect comes by cable to the state department from Petrograd. The source of the depart- ment's information has not been dis closed, but it is definite and official, and extremely gratifying to the Amer ican government. Secretary Lansing authorized the following official par-' aphrase:
 The department of state has re- ceived telegraphed report on condi- tions in Russia. Concern is shown over reports of the possibility of separate peace which have appeared i:l the press, evidently inspired by Germany. The telegram says that Russia is no more likely to abandon the war without achieving her ob- ject than is the United States. It is pointed out that the charge that the Imperial administration was planning a separate peace caused it's over- throw and hastened the revolution, which was brief and bloodless.
 Tt is stated. that the revolution will expedite the defeat of Germany and establishment of general peace, permanent and universal.
 'The prompt recognition accorded Russia by the United States. the dis patch says. could not have come at more oppOrtune moment. and gave encouragement and help to the coun- cil of ministers and their supporters.
 President Wilson's thrilling allu- sion to the Russian revolution in his address to congress has made a deep and lasting impression on the Rus sian people. It has been translated together with other of the presidents utterances concerning American par ticipation. into Russian, and broad cast circulation is being given to them in a pamphlet for free distribution
 No people, 1t is stated, so circum-i : stanced. have ever made greater sac- rifices for freedom than the Russians, and they fully realize that a separ- ate peace would jeopardize all they have gained.
 The American form of govern ment, say the report, is the model of the Russian people, and the partici- patton of the United States has in fused in them confident spirit and imbued them with firm determina- tion.< They have an army unequalled in numb bers, unexcelled in courage and led by commanders of ability and patriotism. They have resources in- estimable and unapproachable.
 eff Americans are incensed at the intrigue and underhanded machina- tions of Germany in their midst and or their border Russians have four field cause for like resentment. and will make any sacrifice rather than conclude separate peace"
