This war has worked wonders in in
dustrial lines for the colored people,
and they by thousands are securing
positions, in the labor world, for which
they were not even considered three
years ago. They are also receiving
consideration in military matters such
as was hardly thought possible, and
they are generally making good. This
latter fact is very gratifying as they
are learning that their efforts are not
confined to certain mental lines, but
they have something of a chance to
earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows in many new fields. And, while
war may be all that Sherman says it is
it has in way verified the old adage:
It's an i'll wind that blows nobody

Jim-Crow Camp Opposed.
(ChicagO Defender.)

In the east Major General Wood of
the United States army has started a
movement for a separate military
training school at New York City.
Every man in the east should look
upon this with disfavor and oppose
it. There should be no segregation
In an army of the United States. II
there should be military training it
should be one and all. The men Of
the east who think, especially edi-
tors and writer's, should sound death
knell to this Jim Crow" proposition.
1t will not be tolerated in the west
and should not be in the east. In
other countries all men of all colors
and nationalities serve on the same
army and fight for the same flag be-
cause it. does not segregate or dis
criminate. On the firing line we
should be as one. No longer members
of the race should be looked upon as
cooks, but as citizen soldiers, wear
ing the rank Of equality, with no in
justice or discrimination heralded
against them. In case of war a num-
Der of southern whites are getting it
In their breasts to lead our men to the
battlefield. In the past they have
shown that they have proven them
selves to be lot of chain drivers
and we advise them not to let
southern man command them. When
you join a voluntary army be led by
members of your own race and not
southern officers. Be led by men of
the north who treat you like humans,
and not southerners, who treat you
like slaves.

knowing that if any emergency should

savings certificates will go like "hot
cakes" Their small denomination, the
good interest rate, the terms upon
which they may be purchased, the
fact that they are not subject to taxa
ton when held by persons of small
means-all will make them an at
tractive investment. Working people
whose margin of income above expen-
ses is narrow at best will find in them
an excellent incentive for beginning
the prudent habit of saving. They
will be popular for Christmas presents.
School children will be able to invest
part of their little weekly allowances
In certificates. AS result many mil
lions will be transferred to the Fed
eral Treasury and through it will flow
into the channels of trade, while the
people of small means will be made
to feel that they, too, are doing their
share toward helping their country
win the war.

gested the movement felt that while

appropriate that the race was mani.

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity

(From the Christian Register.)
A circular sent out to employers in
a large city, calling attention to the
number and quality of young colored
men trained in the schools of the city,
and asking cooperation and counsel
in making their services available,
brought one reply which though anony-
nous is significant of an opinion still
widely influential. Kindly send them
to Africa, instead of mixing them
with u.s. AS the expression of an in
dividual desire these two points are of
course admissible, but as practicable
measures it is curious that any intelli-
gent person should seriously entertain
them. Does any one suppose that the
colored population of the United
States could be sent to Africa, or that
if they were sent they would go? So,
long as they are here, and have al
ready been mixing for more than a
century, and have the rights of citi-
zenship, including the right to die with
white men for their country, is it any
reckonable menace to responsibility
and intrinsic leadership to open a few
more industrial doors to their proved
abilities and usefulness? While we
write, a moving-van is unloaded by
two white men and one colored man.
The colored man is the boss, the
white men take his orders. There is
not the least trouble about it. There
would never be trouble if it were not
made by people of the temper of the
anonymous objector.

coLoRED TROOPS.
Baker Says They Will Be Trained in
States Where Raised.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Baker
of the war department has announced
that cOlored troops drafted into the
United States army will receive the
same consideration and treatment
heretofore given them under the rules
OF the army. Those colored. troops
drafted in states having camps of
their own will be trained in them,
which means that the Illinois contin-
gent of colored troops will train at
Rockford. Units from other states
will be- assembled and trained with
their state troops as separate organi-
cations, the same as is now done in
the regular army.
Will Be Called Separately.
1.-THE rule of the regular army in the
matter of the training of the colored
troops as separate organizations will
be adhered to- said Mr. Baker. 1.-THE
call for colored men will be postponed
until one Of the latter calls, so that
they will be called at a separate time,
thereby giving an opportunity to the
officers at the camps to assemble the
organizations of which they are parts
substantially all at one time They
will not be called last, but they will
be called separately.
$780, May Volunteer for France.
All cOlored men called in a state
which has a cantonment in it will be
organized and train there. Provision
will be, made for the assembling of
colored troops from those states which
have no environments. 1t has not yet
been made. An opportunity will be
given to both white and colored men
among the selected forces to volunteer
for service and training in certain
lines of communication organizations
which is necessary to form, and it is
hoped that an adequate number will
volunteer for this military but non
combatant service, but there will be
both cOmbatant and noncombatant or.

organizations
Those who volunteer for this ser.
vice, it is said, will have an early op.

THANK GOD!

The Associated Press dispatches
very seldom bring good news to col
ored people; but, last Tuesday there
was one dispatch that was read with
unalloyed Joy by the colored people as
follows:
Washington, D. c., Nov 5.-Louis
vllles Negro segregation ordinance
was today declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme court The decision
affects similar ordinances in Balti.

In rendering the opinion Justice

THE authority of the state to pass
laws in the exercise of the police DOW.
er having for their object the promo.
ton of the public health, safety and
welfare is very broad and has been af.
hrmed in numerous and recent decis-
ions of this court. But it is equally
we'll established that the police DOW.

passage of a law or ordinance which
runs counter to the limitations of the
federal constitution.
THAT there exists serious and diff
hcult problem arising from feeling
OF race hostility which the law is DOW
erless to control and to which it must
give measure of consideration NAV
be freely admitted. But it's solution
can not be promoted by depriving
citizens of their constitutional rights
and privileges. The right which the
ordinance annulled was the civil right
OF white man to dispose of his prop-
erty if he saw fit to do so to a. person
OF color and of colored person to
make such disposition to a white per
son."
We might say much in reference to
this act of tardy justice, but we will
satisfy ourselves by saying: "Praise
God, from whom all blessings flow"

GRAMMATICAL UNANlMlTY.

Hoover says the prices of food will
be reduced before the New Year
comes and Garfield says there will be
plenty of coal for all domestic and
industrial needs. Crozier says there
Will be rifles enough for our soldiers
who go to France. Sharpe says there
will be adequate heating apparatus in
the cantonment barracks. The use Of
the future tense by the authorities at
Washington seems to be unanimous.
And, if these things come in the near
future We'll hail them as prophets.
