This marks the celebration of the

being one of the Oldest clubs in the
city, it ranks high as one Of the most
charitable, organizations of its Kind,
having rendered many deeds of kind
ness to suffering humanity. Too much
cannot be said of Mrs. Susan John
son, for it was through her consolidat-
ed efforts and great activity as Presi-
dent that has made the club what it is
today. Great credit is also due Mrs.
Blanche Smith, the Secretary, and
other members of the club for their
exquisite taste i'll decorating and the
artistically arranged program which
was carried out through the entire
evening. At ten o'clock the guests
were invited into the dining room,

On the beautiful centerpiece stood a
glass candlestick which indeed was a
work of art. Eloquent speeches were
made by the President, followed by
other speakers of prominence. After
song. and prayer, the Victrola offered
many beautiful selections One main
feature of the occasion was the paper
napkins, given as souvenirs to each
onetresent on which was stamped the
flag of Uncle Sam, which indicated
that the Negro was well versed into
the great war preparedness. At late
hour the guests departed, each ex-
pressing themselves as being highly
>elated with this, one of the greatest of
all women's business leagues.

The Peoples Defender

The moral growth and develop
ment of our state seems to be clearly
indicated in the arrest and convic-
ton Of Senator S. c. Sims who was
Il member of the last State Legisla-
ture of Arkansas. He was accused,
arrested and indicted for receiving
brihe of $1,000 to work and use his
official strength in opposition to legiS-
lative enactments that came up be-
fore that honorable body. His con-
yiction expresses the healthy senti-
ment that exists in the moral at
mosphere Of our state. While the
Peoples Defender does not rejoice
at the downfall and ENHANCEMENT of
any man, and yet there is nothing
that appeals to us us more gracious
and in keeping with decenGy than
that men shall be prohibited from
being elected to public official place,
anu Juell use Jllbl puDllC OillCldl pace
for personal gain at the expense OF
the publics good. Prosecutor Duna-
way is to be congratulated for not
permitting anything to throw him
from the course. The jurors are also
to be congratulated because every
man who violates the law, especially
if that law is good one, should be
brought to task, whether that man re
high or low, rich or poor, black or
white. The laws are made for viola
tors, regardless to creed or color, and
when our state rises up in its moral
sense of duty, and in an indiscrimi.
nate way deal out justice to every
body, then the state becomes a
healthy place in which to live, and
laws become active deterents to Grim
inals.

The United States seems to have
been plunged into the war up to the
very neck. Everybody is sufficiently
acquainted with the incidents lead
ing up to the war. Many people
doubtless are opposed to the war. but
since the government has accepted
war as its policy, then let everybody,
every citizen push the governments
side of the case. This war, however,
is going to cost the people enormous
ly. If the bill that is now before
Congress passes, every citizen in the
United States will he taxed $33 per
lead annually. This does not only
apply to citizens Of age, but to In
dividuals, as we understand 1t, 1t Is
to average that per capita Of every
individual in the United States. The
United States government finding it.
self up against the proposition Is
leaving no stone unturned to equip
itself for the inevitable fray.
Colonel Roosevelt, ex-president Of
the United States, is exerting all of
the influence and power at his COM
mand to be permitted by the govern
ment to carry division of soldiers
to the very seat of war. He desires
very much to enter into the active
battlement. There is, however, con-
siderable objections to his plan, but
he has had su cient influence thus
far to hold up the entire war measure
unless that position is retained. In
some respects, it would be a delight
full occasion of history to see an ex-
president leading force Of Amerl-
cans in a foreign country. We do
not know of a man better prepared
and fitted in courage and in par
TALLY to lead an American force to
the very front of the war than is
Teddy Roosevelt. The moral infu-
ence of such an act upon the part of
the government cannot be estimated
for the world would expect some
great things of the American soldier
were he to enter into the active fight
ing of the war. It's influence doubt
less would be great also upon
the German. Teddy is always
ready for the spectacular and that
which makes history, both for him
self and for his country. If he
should be permitted to lead division
of American soldiers to the seat of
war in foreign country, he would
doubtless make a name for himself,
greater, if possible, than that which
he already has, returning back to
his native country after the war is
over, he would simply be an irwin
chile factor in the management and
conduct of the American government.
After all, no doubt but what Teddy
is not looking ahead to such condi-
tions. Since writing we understand
his plan has been defeated by Con
gress.
