Secretary of War Baker is an il
lustration Of how impossible it is Tor
some Northern men to understand
the negro and his relation to the
Southern white man. Having made
Up his mind that certain things ought
to be so, he determines to act on the
assumption that they cannot be 9TH
erwise. He is no doubt honest in
telling Southern Congressman who
protested against sending negro SOL
diers to mobilization camps in the
South that he considered it his duty
to send negroes to these camps and
hence could not modify orders to
that effect, but it is a pity that a
man of his intelligence cannot see
that common sense conflicts with his
idea of duty. The Houston riot ought
to be enough to convince him that it
would be wise to send Northern ne
gro troops to camps in the North:
where there is so much profession of
love for the negro and so little real
love for him. By obstinately refus-
ing to recognize common-sense reas-
ons when they are presented to him
blindly choosing to regard them as
born Of prejudice, he is assuming a
fearful responsibility. Certain it is
that people Of the South are not 60
ing to submit to being run over rough
shod by negro troops, and if some
! thing worse than the Houston Incl
dent happens as a result Of sending
negro troops to Southern camps Sec
retary Baker will have to answer fo7
it.

of Prof. and Mrs. Poole, nephew of

nail clear through his left foot, the
point sticking about an inch above
the top of his foot. DR.. Johnson hap
pened to be at home, just across the
street, and he got the nail out at
once and gave the foot such atten-
ton that the boy is getting along az
right. Monday, Mrs. Poole, The
boys mother, DR.. Johnson's sistec
had to go to the hospital for an op-

nicely. Yesterday DR.. johnson was
called to Red Springs to see his aunt

IEfected her life side. He found hel
I improving. Another aunt of DIR
Johnson and Mrs. Poole, Mrs. Worth,
