When once the South shall have en-
abled its 100000 Negroes to become
generally efficient, intelligent, thrifty
self-reliant and Independent, the fabric
of southern industry will rest upon an
everlasting foundation and the South
will have solved in a spirit of Christian
benevOlence problem which has
baffled the ages.
These are some things that the white
citizenry of the South and the Negroes
should never forget, and their impor-
tance will become palpably impressed
upon the minds of the thinking people
of both races before long, when our
immigration problems, due to restric-
tions and to the effect of the war, as
sumo new and more complex phases

tied citizens of Chicago than the few
agencies, such as the Frederick Doug
lass Center and the Wendell Phillips
Settlement, the Y. M. G. A. and the
missions and churches, have yet re-
ceived. Not only for the benefit of the
Negro population, but for the safety
and progress of the city as a whole,
this league should rally to its equip
ment and direction, its growth and eff
ficiency, both the personal and finan-
cial resources adequate to this end. 1t
should be organized in time to be rep
resented at the national conference on
Negro migration to be held in New
York city January 26 at the Russell
Sage Foundation building. 1t will thor
oughly discuss the causes and conse-
quences of the migration, the present
condition of those migrating and what
is to be done to aid the Negroes ad-
justment to their new environment

There is no good reason why more
of our children should not be il school
and remain there for a greater length
of time than has been the case. Not
only are our rural schools failing to
receive the proper consideration at the
hands of those who should be most
vitally concerned, but our secondary
educational institutions are not being
utilized and developed as they should
be. 1t seems but logical to conclude
in the face of foregoing statistics that
many of us are showing the unwisdom
of commercializing the most important
years of the life of our children at the
sacrifice of their future welfare. 1t
Is a crime against humanity to take
the youth of q race and put 1T to
hard commercial labor just when 1t
should be utilizing the advantages for
educational development and prepara-
ton for future usefulness. Texas has
taken step forward in passing
compulsory education law. Although
it may seem a reflection on q people
that they should be forced to enact
law compelling themselves to give
their children a chance to tit them
selves for life, yet it would be worse
than u reflection upon the state If it
suffered its youth to grow up in ig-
norance and unpreparedness. Nothing
will do more to complicate tile already
perplexing problems facing the people
than for the people themselves to in
dulge in the criminally inexpedient
policy of depriving the future citizens
of the state of a chance to qualify
themselves for citizenship. We as
race must quit living to much in the
future and begin to live more for the
future. Selfishness always brings 1t
consequent evils. 1t is pure selfishness
for any parent to take the school
hours, school years of his child and
turn them to meager-this is all 1t
could be-material profit.

Swiss Facing Famine Peril.

Geneva.-The Swiss government
held two extraordinary sessions to dis
cuss the German and Austrian notes
regarding the submarine blockade.
The new situation is considered seri-
Gus from an economic point, especially
regarding the supply of food, the prices
of which have increased nearly 90 per
cent since the war began. The federal
council announces it is forced to take
special measures to cope with the sit
uation and food cards are expected to
be issued.

In its recent article by Junius B.
Wood and in editorial comment on
those articles, the Chicago Daily News
has called attention to the injury done
the colored race by its exploitation at
tbe hands of unscrupulous political
leaders. who as a means of gaining
mower for themselves give jobs to un-
worthy colored men whom they con-
troll the result of the practice being
Injurious to the colored race as
whole. 1t is a pleasure to record the
honoring of a different type Oh rep
resentative of the colored race.
Col. Franklin A. Denison, who has
heen appointed an assistant to Attor-
new General Brundage, stands on MS
own high character and meritorious
achievements. He has striven to help
the colored race forward, not to drag
n down. His career as useful citi-
zen not only reflects credit upon the
colored race, but furnishes to ambi-
tious youths of that race an example
of the way to win deserving success.
The general public must commend
such an appointment as that of MIR.
Denison to a position on the staff of
tho attorney general of the state. 1t
must continue to condemn efforts OF
