Why Did They Prefer "coIored?"
(FrOm-the New York NeWs.)

(FrORthe New York NeWs.)
We trust that all of the advocates
learned and otherwise, white and
black, North and South-of the use
of the word "Negro' as a race term
have caught the full meaning of it's
use at Houston, Texas. At the re-
quest of the Twenty-fourth Infantry
men themselves, the authorities de-
cided to refer to them henceforth as
ocolored" soldiers. They had been de-
r1ded and nagged and goaded by the
corrupted use of the word until for
bearance ceased to be one of their
virtues. They had become contemptu-
ously and constantly referred to in
the daily press not as American SOL
d1ers, or Americans, nor as Uncle
Sans Boys" or in any other respectful
terms. They had been designated and
debased in the public mind there
these brave, manly defenders of the
American fag-as Negroes" Per-
ce1ving this evil practice and influence
the while officers of the Twenty-fourth
appealed to the authorities to use the
word "colored" instead. With the
word "colored,' troopers or soldiers
would have to be used. A kindlier
feeling between the soldiers and the
townspeople they were sure would in
evitably result They were profoundly
right, but they were too late. Had
the practice obtained prior to their
coming in Houston, different state
of affairs might have ensued. We ask
all promiscuous, wilful and Indifferent
users of the word Negro" to ponder
this situation slowly. The request of
the troopers and their officers for the
change should be a striking example
to all Doubling Thomases as to just
how the practice works out today in
hard, everyday life. Whatever the ar
gument about making it respectable in
the future, it decreases respect for the
race today. It does no good today.
1t does much harm. What reason,
then, for it's use? Are you willing to
be called "Nigger?" Are you pleased
to have your wife or mother called
a "Negress?" Then discontinue using
Negro" If you think it worth while
for you to be referred to as man and
your folk as people, insist on the use
of the word "colored."

INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED

Substantial increases in existing
rates of pension for disablement of the
limbs from injuries received in line
OF duty are contained in a bill intro
duced by Representative George P.
barrow of Pennsylvania, which will
come up for action by the House at
the next session of congress. Mr. OAR
rows proposed rates run from SIS for
the loss of total disability of one hand
or one foot, to $3.50 for the loss or to-
tai disability of both arms and both
legs. They amount roughly to an in
crease of about SO per cent in the
existing rates for similar cases. The
bill is made to apply to persons al
ready on the pension rolls, and to all
who may be granted a. pension here
after, but Mr.. barrow specifically pro-
vides that the measure shall not op-
crate to reduce any pension hereto
fore granted. The passage of this
measure will be heartily approved of
by the people,

The National Food Administrative

The National Food Administration
is doing it's utmost in every way pos
sible to educate the people up to the
fact that there is not enough food
stuffs to supply our needs without the
practice of rigid economy by every
one, especially the housewives. The
forecast of available supply indicates
grave danger of serious shortage, un-
less conservation is vigorously and
nationally practiced. The slogan is:
"In the Name of Liberty-SAVE

The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States handed down
Monday, declaring residential segre-
cation unconstitutional is all right so
far as it goes, but the court read into
the decision lot of extraneous mat
ter about the "desirability of prevent
ing the amalgamation of the races
and the court also took especial pains
to point out and re-affirm that flaws
providing for the separation of the
races in public conveyances and in
the public schools have been upheld. -

WAR AND THE coLoRED PEOPLE

There are, we opine, very few
thinking people who do not agree with
General Sherman in his declaration
of what war is. And if there were
any doubling Thomases, three years
ago, they, doubtless, are now con-
WINGED that Sherman knew whereof
he spoke. Since Uncle Sam really
got into the world war there has been
very preceptib1e change in this coun-
try and the people generally are meas
uring up to the conditions that con-
front them. They are periodically
