EDITORIALS.

We used be soberly assured, few ago, that the day editorial is past The editorial had lost its power Newspaper readers had ceased to heed it. The editorial column doomed disappear altogether within a few years. People wanted nothing but news They wanted read the facts and form their udg ment They didn't want any editor presumng to give them advice
 But today the situation have changed. If the editorial had really dsrepute, it to have taken on a new lease life Newspapers printing more editorials than ever before And far editors can judge people reading editorials than before

WHY THE CHURCHES SUFFER

If there was some way in Portland
to cut out or even curb the many
forms of charity graft which are be-
ing worked overtime by the benefit
route, the churches would not have
such a hard time to keep up the in
terest on their mortgages, and pay
the pastors their salaries. And the
grievous and scandalous part about
the whole shooting match Is that some
of the members of the churches are
also members of this basket brigade"
and they are so near-sightcd that they
cannot see the great harm and in
jury they are doing the church. How
ever. the pastors see and know that
the band is impeding and hindering
the advancement of the church along
financial and spiritual lines. but they
dare not condemn 1t lest they lose a
few dimes or so, or perhaps a few
thin-skinned members. These people,
by their methods, are killing the
church.-The Portland (Ore) Advo-
cate.

HON. THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
Our Friend at Court.

Every Negro owes a lasting debt OF
gratitude to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
who placed the American people on
record for the responsibility of the
horrible outrages on defenseless Ne
groes at East st. Louis, ILL.,, during the
recent riot and the well-meaning peo-
pie of the civilized world honor him
for his noble speech and manly stand.
Not only does Mr.. Roosevelt preach
the square DEAL" he practices 1t, and
by so doing he has done much to de-
stroy the spirit of lynching and mob
violence. Mr.. Roosevelt has called on
the Wilson administration to act on
this occasion. The President of our
great democracy (N has not deemed
the affair even worthy Of comment.
Mr.. Roosevelt is Americas greatest
statesman and we are proud to have
such a friend at court.

Mr.. American Citizen:
Do you realize that the United

The Navy needs real men -, red
blooded Americans who are willing
to do their bit for good old u. S. A..
as did the men and boys of 1875 and
1861. Are you going to sit tight and
LET George do it" and in the future
be ashamed to answer your children
and grandchildren when they say,
Daddy, what did you do during the
great WARP, or are you going to he
in a position to say Daddy was a
Navy Volunteer, fought for this coun-
try of ours and helped to make the
blessings of Liberty secure for our
selves and our posterity, and also
helped save some of the starving
mothers and children of Europe"
Now is the time for you to step for
ward and volunteer for the Navy
always found ready when needed by
your Uncle Sam. Men of the type
of Farragut. Dewey, Lawrence, Perry
and Nathan Hale are wanted. There
are plenty of them in this city who

Dear Uncle SAM
I realize your position for which
you are entirely responsible. have
offered my services, but according to
your orders Negroes are not want
ed" as white men. My fathers fought
with Perry on Lake Erie, with Far
ragut at New Orleans and in Mobile
Bay. served with Dewey at Manila
and with Sampson at Santiago, and
have never been found wanting
other than chance to fight for. you.
A thousand of my brothers are wait
ing. until you cast aside your pre-
JUDGE, and you will be compelled to
do so. The Negro Americans are
sitting tight and do not care, who
does it. Should you need them land
you certainly wilD they are ready.

ability to serve you, as they would
like to; but your persecution has not
overcome their patriotism. They

A REAL GOVERNOR.

Jefferson City. July 6.-Many tele.
grams and letters are coming to Gov.
ernor Gardner protesting against the
riots in East st. Louis. All are based
on the bSlief Of those who sent them
that East st. Louis is part OF Mis-
souri,.
I'VE do not do business that way"
the governor said in expressing his
vexation over the communications.
"All human beings in this state are
treated alike, and will be treated alike
as long as am chief executive Of the
state. am told that even some
Eastern newspaper writer's have been
referring to this state as poor old Mis-
s1urj.' on the theory that East ST.
Louis is in Missouri. They ought to

MANNiNG'S VIEWS ON THE
EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH
Southern White Man Says Denial Of
Justice 10 Responsible.

The colored people are leaving the
south by the thousand, more want to
leave, and more are going to leave. says
the Hon. Joseph c. Manning, former
member Of the Alabama legislature, In
a letter to the New York Sun. 1t Is
more than a wish to better their eco
nomic condition that Is causing this
departure of Negroes from the south.
1t is more sort of quiet revolution
against the oppression aud repression
to which southern Negroes bave been
subjected for many years.
The spirit of revolution has manifest
cd itself In simply leaving the south.
OF course the demand for labor In the
north opened the door of opportunity.
but the restiveness of the Negro in the
far southern states was such that the
point was reached where, for better or
for worse, the desire to get away had
taken strong hold.
The Acknowledgement laws more
than anything else have created the
feeling Of unrest and discomfort on the
part of the southern colored people
Their relegation to the status of sub
ject citizen, the denial to him Of civic
justice, has been too bitter pill to
swallow in mere submission. The un.
even chance in litigation in the courts.
the oppression of the illiterate and
helpless Negro by and through the
processes In the petty courts-these
and other minor prosecutions play a
part in creating the determined move
ment to get out Of the south and 60
where there is more Of q square deal
for the average man.
Lynching has something to do with
adding to the feeling that has brought
about this exodus; but, strange as It
may seem, the terror of lynching does
not 60 so far in deeply moving the
southern Negro as does the loss of his
rights as a citizen.
A. Negro minister who was recently
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and 9th
er southern states Is authority for the
statement that leading Negro ministers
and many leading Negroes indorse the
| movement to get away from the south,
advising their congregations that it
means protection under the law, the
right of citizenship, better educational
advantages for their children and free.
dom from the increasing wrongs Of
| the south.
This subject of the coming north Of
southern Negroes was discussed at a
weekly meeting Of Baptist ministers
in New York city, and as leading
minister who had been south told Of
the wholesale departure Of southern
Negroes for the north, crying out to
"let them come" there was q chorus
| Of amen"
These people coming up from the
south to the states of the north and
west will soon be voters, and their
leaders in this section are keeping this
In mind. Never before has there been
such a united movement on the part
of the ministers of the north among
the colored people in the matter Of urg-
Inc Negro voters to qualify for voting.
"You want to help those left down
there in the south by voting up here"
is the way the ministers in the north
are putting their appeals.

Washington.-It is gratifying to note
that our race is represented In the mil
itary officers reserve training camps
recently authorized by congress and
formally opened on May IA. OF the
100000 applicants only 10000 were &C.
cepted, and 10000 have reported for
duty in the sixteen camps located in
various sections of our country. 1t Is
a remarkable fact that Of the $500
select men now at Fort Myer, Va,
near Washington, one Of that num-
Der being trained as an officer Of the
United States army is Francis NJ. Dent
of Amherst college, Massachusetts,,
class Of 1917, under special provisions
made by the faculty because Of war
emergency.
He passed an excellent physical and
military examination and was highly
recommended by President MeiklejOhn,
Dean Professor Odds and the head of
the Latin department. In this cOnnec-
ton 1t is interesting to note that Am
herst college is also the alma mater Of
such distinguished men as Secretary
Of State Lansing, Governor Whitman
Of New York and the late Hon. Joseph
Choate, ex-ambassador to England.
Young Dent was also a classmate of
Mr.. Humphrey Redfeld, son Of Hon.
william q. Redfield, secretary Of COM
merce.
He IL q Sobrino man and wears the
charm that has a peculiar distinction
for every son Of Amherst college. Be-
fore entering Amherst he graduated
from the famous Dunbar high school
Of Washington, where he was adjutant
Of the battalion of High School cadets.
He is q modest young man, but coura-
geous and brilliant when occasion de.
mands.
An instance Of this is the fact that
last year when the Birth Of Nation"
was being commended in the chapel
service because Of its alleged historical
value young Dent voluntarily arose In
the chapel amid the large student body
and tho college faculty and In scath-
ing terms denounced the play by Dixon
as false in history and a villainous at
tack upon a helpless race.
Afterward when students and pro-
fessors asked him for evidence upon
which he based his spirited attack he
gave them, among other things, Cover
nor McCalrs History of William Lloyd
Garrison" Major John r. Lynch's
Work en- Reconstruction" Rev. DR..
F. ]. Grimke's strong address on the
Birth of Nation" apd 1.-THE Crisis"
so ably edited by DR.. Dubois.
Young Dent is the son Of Professor
and Mrs. T. NJ. Dent Of Washington,
who formerly lived In Rome, Ca,
where he was born Feb. 10, 1894. Mr..
Dent, whose commendable ambition is
to serve his country, is a poor young
man who by pluck and the true Amer
lean spirit worked his way through
college, and his splendid record and
sterling example should be an inspira-
ton to every youth in the land IRE

That members of the Hampton In
stitute graduating class are alive to tn

lens Of the passing hour Is shown BY
the questions which the boys have beer

are a few Of the questions which they
