WHAT Is YOUR PLANT
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman

q FEW years ago there was a pop,
A ular song entitled, 81 Don't Know
II Where I'm Going, But Pm On Ny
Way It was intended to be hum
orous song, but In reality 1t was one
of the most tragicaI things ever writ
ten, for II was photographieally des-
crfptfye Of nine-tenths Of humanity
Of the nine-tenths Of humanity that
works, and strives, andsstruggles, and
tails, because 1t has no steadfast puf'
pose, no definite goal towards which
II IL marching.
Do you ever watch a crowd OF
people getting off OF q railroad train,
or even walking along the Streets
They sway this way and that. They
stop. They are undecided whether
they viii turn to the right or the lett.
They are diverted from their course
by any trivial thing. They are on
their way, but they don't know where
they are going. And they never ar
rive anywhere in particular.
Suddenly through this mass OF tai
tering. fumbiing, futile people comes
man who knows exactly where he Is
going, and he goes through the crowd
as q motor boat goes through stih
water. He takes advantage OF every
foothoid and Of every opening. Peo-
ple make way for him. They stand
aside and let him pass, and while
they are still shifting aimlessly about
he's blocks on his way ahead OF them.
THIS "a picture OF life. The secret
Of success IA purpose. The people
who achieve things are those VINO
started out to do some one definite
thing. and who kept on trying TO 90
that same one thing until they could
do II superlatively wen. Those who
ret there are those who started for
some particular place, and who let
nothing tempt them TO wander on OF

friend of Lincoln, Mr.. Chandler came
to Washington in the days of the
Civil War and was an assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. He became Sec
rotary of the Republican National
Committee, and his activities in the
disputed Presidential election of 1876
are matter of history. He served
in President Arthur's Cabinet as Sec
rotary of the Navy; and under him
were taken the first steps in the
building of the new navy, the white
Squadron" of his day having now be-
come the second largest naval force
afloat. For fourteen years he repre-
sented New Hampshire in the Senate;
and on his retirement from that posi-
ton he become president of the COM
mission which settled the claims
growing out of the war with Spain.
For sixty years he was active in pub
lie affairs, having outlived nearly all
of his contemporaries of pioneer Re-
publican days and having maintained
his interest in constructive political
work to the end.

WHAT FOOLS SOME moRTALs BE,

Every white man in Mississippi
realizes the seriousness of permitting
Negroes to roam about in the South
in the uniform of United States Army
officers" Thus runs a sentence in a
Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to
the New York World. What is there
serious in this? The colored men
who have won officers commissions in
the National Army were selected be.
cause of superior intellectual qualifi-
cations, they were given the intensive
training of the Reserve Officers
Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines,
Iowa. They were commissioned only
upon merit; and there is no reason
to believe that they will fail to do
credit to the uniform which they are
entitled to wear. That white Miss
issippian of Democratic faith should
find it serious matter for any COL
ored man to wear other than overalls
and jumper or to carry in his hand
any implement more important than
a hoe may well be believed. But that
there is anything of real menace in
such thing is ridiculous.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1917-12-29
Mr.. NATHAN STRAUS is RIGHT.


Mr.. Nathan Straus, a we'll known
multi-millionaire of New York City,
who is campaigning to raise $1,000 900
for welfare work among the Jews in
the national service, exhibited the
spirit that should burn in the breast
of every man, in inviting fifty colored
soldiers OF the national army at Camp
Upton to his home for Thanksgiving
dinner. It is stated that he did this
as one way of showing i'm partially in
welfare work which he had empha-
sized ought not be confined to aiding
men of only one race, one nationality
or one color. It is claimed on all sides
that this great world war Is being
waged to firmly establish a world
wide democracy, which is only another
name for the brotherhood of man. It
cannot be claimed that this is a white
mans war, as white men constitute
only one-eighth of the cosmopolitan
peoples that are actively engaged in
it. And this democracy or brother
hood of man will never be established
until it is established right. So long
as any man, or, any set of men are
denied equal and exact participation in
all obligations and benefits that fall to
the lot of mankind, the grand principle
OF democracy will not be established.
There is no half way ground, it must
be as the new national slogan says:
FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER"

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

God works in mysterious ways His
wonders to perform" Thus far in
this great world war while the colored
man has received some very serious
and painful jolts there have been
much good to come out of Nazareth.
At first, when with their usual 10y.
atty and patriotism colored men for
got their color and undertook to get
into the game just as other citizens
Of this land of the free and the home
of the brave" did, they were rather
rudely awakened from their dreams.
They, however, pocketed their chagrin
as best they could but did not let up
in their efforts to prove their loyalty
and patriotism all over this country
and the outlook is quite encouraging
Friends of the dominant race who are
not ashamed nor afraid to speak their
sentiments boldly, are being heard
from on all sides in complimentary
terms Of the patriotism, loyalty, BRAY
cry and soldierly bearing. This il
very encouraging.
A few days ago at Camp Grant
Rockford, Ill., Maj. Gen. Thomas H
Barry paid some very high compli
ments. Among other things he said
II have served with colored troops
in peace and in war off and on fo1
more than forty years, and I have al
ways found them equal to any emer
gency, if properly handled, led, ant
given the consideration that you are
entitled to.
Under some white skins there are
black hearts; and the heart, after all
is the real test of the man."
Is not this encouraging?

derful tnstrumentalities of transpOrta
ton and communication have built uu
that worldwide. social and economic
organization which brings within the
reach of all so much which would be
impossible without it.
Mans self-dependence, or independ-
ence of others, has passed, but in it's
place have come greater possibilities
of life. Dependence of man upon man
implies service of man to man
; To maintain democracy, civilization
and service, convention, regulation
and law, an organized government is
necessary.
The difference between the organi-
cation of the government by democ-
racy and that by autocracy is that
democracy is government by the will
of the governed, and not the govern
ment of few acting by usurped
power or that of an insurgent minor
ity.
Government by democracy must be
enforced as vigorously, impartially,
unf1inchingly as that by any other
government.
Ihey who differ may express their
difference, may do all possible to con-
vert others, so long as it is not done
in open defiance or in active rebellion,
and so long as their actions are sub
ordinated to the will and authority of
the majority.
If and when majority of all can
not be trusted to express the will of
people, cannot be trusted to act
wisely, and all are not willing to abide
by 1t, any government except govern
ment by force will fail.
Our democracy is now threatened
from without and the democracy of
the whole world is at stake
The protection of our democracy
must come from those it protects.
Every individual, to it's protection
owes all life, liberty, substance. To
the protection of that democracy he
must if necessary devote all.
We who have served the Bell Sys-
tenn know what service means, but
only in a degree however is the SER
vice we have learned to be likened
to the service for which we are now
called upon.
Many of us are already serving at
the front. All of us are serving in
some way and are ready to serve
wherever we can and are needed.
TO the members of the Bell System
the opportunity for the gift of service
is particularly great. Each individual,
man or woman, in the service of the
Government or the Company is re-
sponsible in a large degree for the
country's safety and welfare, for the
success of liberty and democracy the
world over, for the future freedom of
humanity.
Let us dedicate to our country, in
what way. whenever and wherever
we may be called, our unhesitating, un-
f1inching service, implicit in it's ODE
dience and subordination to duty and
authority.
