As to ~The Birth Of Nstlon.r

Editor the Miss0urian: After all Is
said, there are but two races In Amer
ica-the American white man and the
American negro.
While It may be conceded that the
latter is the inferior Of the two. in
numbers, in learning mot In the ca
pacity for learning) and in the pos
session of prosperity, nevertheless. 1t
must be borne in mind that no con-
sistent progress can be made by the
one. nor real peace be enjoyed by the
other. so long as the two are kept in
a state of constant dread and distrust.
The abiding success of our govern
ment and the permanency Of its in
stitutions depends very largely upon
the mutual respect of the people con-
stituting it. Anything tending to de-
stroy the respect Of one element of
society for the other must be regard
ed as harmful and viewed with a de-
gree of alarm.
Judging from information in our
possession and from reports that have
come from many sources, the photo
play The Birth of a Nation" based
upon THE Clansman" by Thomas
Dixon Jr., has a tendency to create
race prejudice and to engender race
enmity, which is at no time desirable
and least of all. in this day of the
great conflict abroad, when, according
to many, war with the foreign pow
ers is imminent and our own troops
both white and black-are already
fighting side by side along the bor-
der.
Furthermore if THE Birth of a Ma
tion" is "The Clansman" reproduced
in motion pictures on a larger and
more stupendous scale, it defames, de-
grades, and belittles the enegro by
making a type land that the lowest
and most vicious) represent a race of
several million wage earning. home

book, if not in the play, the chief ne
gro characters are featured as domi-
neering, insolent brutes. While ne
groes admit regretfully that there
have always been some depraved ones
among them, it should be remembered

ON KEEPING ONES BALANCE

The books of the ages are filled
with stirring tales of the romantic
glamor of warfare.
Small lads and grOwn-up men alike
feel within themselves the deep-set
admiration for the super-man whose
ingenuity outwits the enemy or whose
conspicuous bravery spurs on his
followers to an awe-inspiring slaugh-
ter. With the whispered possibili-
ties of war, men gather in knots to
discuss it's probability and what will
be done in the face of the crisis. I'M
aginative minds picture themselves
at the front, battle-scarred yet unde-
feated, rushing on to the trenches
of the enemy.
This is the romantic side of war.
There are women and children left
behind to seek their own livelihood,
all too cOnspicuously unprepared.
There are the millions of dollars and
the invaluable resources poured forth
into the NAV of war. There are the
cripples, the unfit, and the tiny wood
en- crosses symbolic of the return to
dust and the heart-rending anguish
of the bereaved.
This is the tragic side of war.
In each person burns the unquench-
able fire of loyalty to his race and to
his nation. This is as it should be.
A nation attacked must be defended.
Defense implies not hasty action.
quick, inflammable wrath. but clear,
calm and cool thought.
To be unprepared is to be defeated.
To be violent and to plunge into
a struggle is to receive the disapprov-
al of the world.
The United States is standing upon
the brink of war. The nations di-
rector has not been turned by the
glamor of warfare nor the blaze Of
the cannOn-giving glimpse of great
power; with his thoughts above the
whirl of the smoke. he has remained
calm and collected.
If we fight, it is in the cause of
the neutral nation and of humanity.
Hundreds of times we have been pro-
voked, but We have kept our balance.
This, above all, should be the char
actefiZatiOn of the United States when
the events Of the. worlds greatest
struggle are recorded: The nation
that kept its balance.

LIBRE BEIGE, THE SUPPRESSED
Libre Beige is the name of a news
paper published in Belgium that is the
journalistic proof of the undying pa
triotism Of that oppressed people.
With German spies watching jealous
ly every move of the Belgian people,
Libre Beige (Free Belgium) is is
sued regularly and attacks bitterly the
hated Germans and their control of
Belgium. -
No one knows where 1t is published,
who publishes it or who distributes it.
But every loyal Belgian gets his pa
per regularly and, in 1t. all news from
the front that the German officials
stoutly deny and try to suppress. And
after reading his Libre Beige. the Bel
gian burns the copy.
The manner of handling the news is
credit to journalism. And the news
is fresh and reliable. Articles are re-
printed from French and English
newspapers that the Germans have
tried to bar from the conquered coun-
try. Nothing is known of the news
papers editors. contributors or dis
tributors. Maybe some Belgians know.
