erS and rebels, what sane man could right
fully blame them in the light of the past
injustices that have been poured out upon
them from time to time by the white citi'
zens of the United States. But no, no; not
one disloyal black face can be found while
multiplied thousands Of the alleged leading
white citizens are either openly disloyal or
silently so and equally as many more make
pretext of patriotism because they either
are or hope to be public parasites. Without
knowing anything at all Of Mr. Blackwood's
history, dollars to doughnuts we have
shown more true patriotism during our life
by thousand fold than he. But we
realize this is not a time to settle domestic
quarrels and we hope that every colored
man, woman and child will for the time
being forget the past and overlook even the
present and rise supreme to the moment
and say, "Here am I. Send me, send me-"

THE END OF THE WAR

Probably the world is no nearer an ac-
tual end at present than it was million
years ago and likewise no nearer an end
than it will be a million years from the
present time, but from all appearances the
age that was ushered in with the advent of
Jesus Christ is about to close whether
thereafter it will retrOgrade or the long
tall1ed-of mileneum will dawn is a ques-
ton. The future is always mystery and
what the morrow will bring forth has alike
puzzled the prophet and the people. After
the war and then what, is no more readily
answered by the pulpit and the press, the
great moulders Of our present civilization,
than by the ordinary people, who give the
future little or no concern Whether the
millennium, of which so much has been
preached and sung since the birth of Christ,
will be an age of religious recreation or
one of political Socialism, of which we
have heard so much in the recent past years,
is hard to say, but it looks as if at the
close of the present war all men will be
on an equal footing and that the millionaire
will be things Of the past. In overthrowing
the German autOcracy it seems that the
aristocracy Of the world will be dealt just
as deadly blow. The affairs of the United
States government are already drifting into
a socialistic state and while the corporation
surely dying, and it is seriously doubted
even if the war should close tomorrow,
whether it would be possible for the trusts
to take up things where they were forced to
lay them down when the war began. It is
true that many Of the necessities of life are
still in the control of speculative thieves,
but the next Congress, whether Republican
or Democratic, will be so badly tinctured
with the Socialistic idea that it will tax the
over-rich down to the average citizen 1t
has been once or twice attempted in the
present Congress- but the trusts have too
many representatives in Congress for the
idea to get very far but they see the hand
writing on the wall and are doing many
things they would have pronounced fanati-
cal a year ago. Summing it all up briefly,
the age of one man power is rapidly draw
ing to close. The age Of militarism is also
on its last legs. Kings, queens and royal
families have seen their glores fall to rise
no more The war is not nearing it's end
for He that doeth all things well has too
much for it yet to accomplish before it
closes The races and classes are to be

preston with us that he had been en-

A strange contrast is this action Of MIR.
Blackwood, accusing the editor hereof Of
being disloyal to that Of the treatment the
Vicksburg white soldiers and citizens adj
ministered to colored lieutenant, who was
visiting his parents in that city, and for
the benefit of these ''minute men we re-

OUR LOYALTY QUESTIONED

Our motto since before the United States
declared war on Germany has been, "Our
country first, right or wrong, our country
first, and we have given editorial sup
port unstintingly to every effort that has
been put forth to place our army and navy
in fighting trim, but because we express our
opinion on subjects of vital interest to our
selves and the class of citizens with whom
we are identified, one Blackwood, styling
himself "mnute man. had the audacity
to question our loyalty and to attempt, sur
rounded by three of his friends and in his
private office, to brow-beat and lecture us
as to our editorial utterances. Twelve
million colored men, women and children
in the United States without an exception,
are the quintesence of loyalty and to
charge any one Of them as being otherwise
is so damnably silly that it is ludicrous.
Our young men have been urged by the
older men and the women, to give up their
lives if necessary, in defense of their coun-
try and they have cheerfully left their
mothers, sisters and sweethearts behind to
do so. Instead of few colored companies
as now are, if they had not have been
told early in the war that ''this is a white
mans war and no niggers are wanter," not
less than 100000 Of them would now be
under arms We fight for our country with
no hope Of reward if we should return
home, save that Of the lynchers limb, if
in any way we should happen to offend the
southern white gentry, and be shot down
and burned in punches as in East ST.
Louis and Pennsylvania by organized labor
if we dare to try to earn living by the
sweat of our brows. Our brave black boys
ride to their death under orders and those
who happen to escape retreat, and though
badly shot to pieces, carry their wounded
white commander to safety on their arms,
as in Mexico and yet members of the
same company are allowed to be killed,
beat and cuffed by the police of Houston,
Texas. We know nothing Of this man
Blackwood, but we would not be surprised
if his parents were fighting the flag Of our
country when our parents were flying the
flag. We have our suspicious that he him
self is and has been public parasite, which
has much to do with his bubbling patriot
ism. On the other hand we have been sup
porting country, expecting no reward
save kicks and cuffs and feel disappointed
if we do not get them.
But are not disconnected by such
criticisms for we consider the source from
whence they come. Such upstarts can
offer us no insult and even though they
come in punches as did Mr.. Blackwood and
his friends and declaring his act was in

Amt IT A SHAME?

Vicksburg, Miss, Now 16-Joseph B.
Sanders, a native Of St. Louis, who was
recently commissioned as a second lieuten-
ant in the officers training camp at Des
Moines, Iowa, has complained to the War
Department that he was set upon by citizens
of this city, the home Of his parents when
he visited them after receiving his COM
mission, and, after being advised to re-
move his uniform, fled from that city in
civilian clothes.
Lieut.. Sanders was one Of the 43 officers
who visited st. Louis Oct. Is after receiving
their commissions and who were given a
welcome reception and generally accorded
the honors of their military rank
He came to Vicksburg from st. Louis
and after his treatment here fled to Green
ville and then returned to st. Louis, relat-
ing his adventure at smoker in his honor
here.
Lieut.. Sanders reported the occurrence to
the War Department from Fort Dodge, Ia.,
where he is now stationed. He told Of the
incident at Vicksburg in the following let
ter:
II arrived in Vicksburg on Oct Is and
was met by platoon Of white soldiers
standing around the station. They did not
make any attempt to render any military
courtesy whatever, but that was all right

soldiers and they called me all kinds of
names and said I need not look to them

occasions and then cursed and ordered to
get out Of my uniform and leave town and
not show up on the streets.

Gives Account of Incident
AT smoker given to Lieut. Sanders and
other St. Louis, No. officers at 1928 Chest
nut street, Sanders gave more details of the
occurrence here. He declared that the
soldiers Informed him that no "nigger''
could wear uniform in Mississippi that
white people had to honor.
Two police officers, Lieut.. Sanders told
here, called on him at his parents home and
ordered him to get out of his uniform and
leave town. At first he refused to comply
with this order, but when he noticed a
crowd forming he decided, he said, for the
protection OF his parents, to CO. He then
put on an old suit of his fathers and went
out through the rear door.
Outside, he was accosted bv crowd. ac

A. A. MOGULS PASS BUCK

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 13.-The
well advertised buck is the person

sional Baseball Leagues.

when the American Association sur
vived its meeting without taking
any section on the proposed merger
of the American Association and In
ternational League Clubs. The as
ISOLATION is now Standing just where
it left off, waiting for the matter
to be brought up by the association
at its annual meeting, which begins
today.
Ed Barrow, president of the Inter-
national League. hit Louisville last
night, and he brought with him his
parcel OF plans for redistricting OF
the minors.
Ed is heart and sohl in favor Of
the plan which. r1 a matter OF fact,
had its origination with him doing
a large part OF the heavy work. He
believes it will he the salvation OF
minor leagues o. baseball. and in
this has the support OF most OF the
club owners who make up his circuit.
Cooperation Is Assured.
1t Is rumored in Louisville that full
cooperation has been absolutely made
certain OF IN tho international
League. The Rochester club is sched-
uled TO bs placed IN the New York
State League. according TO the gos-
sips and Providence will be turned
over to the Eastern League.
Thomas !. Hickey. president OF the
American Association. 10 unalterably
set against any plan for reorGaniza-
tion, because II means the disruption
OF his circuit. He Is here to preserve
that circuit. and present indications
are that ha viii stick until forced
out. He has already stirred the wrath
of those American Association Club
owners who favor the amalEamation
of the two circuits. He, with a hand
full OF club owners are standing in
the way OF the redlGtrictiaR idea.
The American Association mag
mates had q session that lasted three
hours yesterday. When they emerg-
members had taken three hours TO
discuss the matter of outing expen-
ses by reducing the player limit. and
had reached a tentative agreement I"
shorten the season to 14o games, 1t

probably would be reached regard

May Retain milwaukee.
II is now believed Milwaukee will
be included in the merger Of Amer
lean Association and international
League clubs, taking the place of Co
lumbus. Joe Tinker. president of The
Columbus club, has been riding the
fence ever since he came to Louisville,
leaning first this way and then that.
He announced with no. show of un-
easiness that he was to fall either
way-grab the new league as II goes
by, or stick with the American Asso-
eaton. His sympsthies appeared to

been dropped.
The Western League stands ready
to ratify the changes. Des Moines,
Lincoln, st. Joseph. and Omaha would
be taken into a new American Asso-
citation organization and this would
be decidedly interesting for their
treasures.
Fast changes are being made in the
baseball map by the gossips. Some
of them have a basis offfoundation;
others have not. The refnor passed
around yesterday that Baltimore and
Kansas City would be taken into the
big leagues. This was taken with the
usual grain OF salt, and appears to
have been completely spiked, although
there are we'll informed men con
nected with the game who profess to
have learned the plan has been ac-
cepted.
