THE SOUTH AGAIN DlsLoYAL.

At Vicksburg, Miss, this week a
Negro commissioned officer of the
United States Army was accosted by
a crowd of white private soldiers who
began to taunt him with oaths and
insults. The Negro paid no attention
to these tormentors, but attempted to
go Upon his way. He evidently cared
nothing for their refusal to salute him,
well knowing the hauteur of ignorant
pool white men, but when he was or
dered to remove his uniform and leave
town, he felt that he might at least
find protection at the hands of the
local police.
Alas, he was unfamiliar with the
ways of the Southern police, for these
blue-coated conservators of the peace
quickly informed him that he was out
side their jurisdiction and that he had
better follow the counsel of his breth-
rem and allow them to divide his gar
ments among them, as was done in
days of old.
He fled in disguise later and his old
mother stealthily carried his uniform
to him at GreenVille, from which place
he escaped the state.
Now, we ask, wasn't this as much
disloyalty as if the brutal white sol.
diers had made the Negro surrender
the national flag? Does the fact that
he was a Negro, willing to offer VI
his life for world democracy" make
any difference in the case? What i'm
partial political scion will answer
these questions?
In this time of great national stress
when every resource of the country
is being tested as never before fol
the preservation of our national dig
nifty, it is certainly strange that the
time and energy of real patriotic citi
zens should be given over to the ma
tional pastime of browbeating blacl
citizens. At any rate, it is a human
disgrace, and those who indulge in i
in any form are nothing short of ira
tors to the flag and the principles 70,
which it stands.

quick-witted puns and jokes that bring
forth much laughter and applause.
Jacob Wards serio-comic song, 81
Wasn't Scared, But l Thought I'd
Better Go" brings applause and laugh
ter, while the eccentric dancing of
Eddy Singleton is warmly received.
A laughable burlesque on a boxing
match, the principal fun producers
being Dock Ward, as Joe Cans, and
KiKd Singleton, as Sam Langford.
The concluding number, "An Alabama
Wedding" is in every detail typically
WAY Down South" The startling
physical contrast between the tower
ing bride and the diminutive bride
groom is the cause of many a laugh
The lively and snappy cake-walk ant
wihrlwind dance by entire company
is another feature of this excellenr
company.

REPREHENsIeLE CONDUCT.

The conduct of some of our race,
both young and old, in public places
and on street cars subject the entire
race to much ~unfavorable criticism
and almost d~iscourages that faithful
and c~onsiderate element who strive
so hard to create favorable comment
for the race. The loud-mouthed, pro-
fame, unkempt and vicious element
need a firm hand and Negro police Of
ficers and courageous citizens as well
should not hesitate to correct or call
down that needless unthinking and
irresponsible element who are con-
stantly bringing us to the verge of
racial despair.

This unsolicited letter was
handed to us by Mr.. Upton at
the close of our examination,
and after his board had examin-
ed every certificate in force by
the American Woodmen. When
it is remembered that not a half
dozen fraternals have so high a
valuation, we should all rejoice
at this wonderful achievement
of Negro big business.

Dear Sir:

to inform you that after care

When it is considered that a
large per cent. of the Fraternal
Societies of the country have a
valuation of less than IS per
! cent, you are especially to be
congratulated for the very ex-
| cellent standing of the American
