While ordinarily the disband-
ing of league means the aban-
donment of its territory: the exi-
gencies OF the present situation
ton to rule that where a league
suspends because of the war and
for the period OF the war only. it
can retain possession both of its
players and its territory. There
is little doubt that it will be the
aim of the Western association
to claim this protection in case
IL should decide TO end its race
within the next few days.

1t is the hope Of President Scott OF
the local club that he can prevail
upon the directors of the league to
release the Tulsa territory to the
Western league. He points out that
ii will be suicidal to attempt to OPP
crate Western association team in
Tulsa after this ear. Tulsans are so
enthused over the opportunity of GO
ing into the higher league that it is
believed they would absolutely refuse
to support even Il winning team in
the Western association IL that circuit
should block its advancement.

CONSISTENCY A JEWEL.

The following from the columns Of
the Plymouth Review is very apropos
just now;
"If England is really sincere about
establishing democracy throughout
the world, she has an excellent OPP
portunty to set an example for the
rest Of the world by granting Ireland
her freedom There is wide differ
ence between talking Of the beauties
of democracy and really establishing
democracy
By a like token the same might
properly be said of our own beloved
land. Since we have entered this
world war merely "as one of the
champions of the rights of mankind
and shall be satisfied only when
these rights have been as secure as
the faith and freedom of the nations
can make them, we might begin our
good work less than three thousand
miles away, where in our very midst
the rights Of ten millions of fellow
citizens human rights-are less Sc
cure than the faith and honor Of the
nation can make them We believe it
was the Turkish minister who once
reminded US to set our own house
straight, before undertaking to super
intend the Strengthening of other peo-
pies houses
1t would be vastly more in keeping
if we declared our purpose to be tc
avenge the deaths of those lost in the
Lusitana and the many other Amer
lean victims of Germany's submarine
attacks Verify, consistency, thou
art a jewel!

HOW LONG?

Tucked away on the music page Of
the Milwaukee Free Press, we find
the following startling if true" Bit
of news:
Dixie" may become the national
song if a bill passes which is to be
presented in congress shortly Al
Blade ?
though america" and THE Star
Spangled Banner" are accepted by
general consent as the country's an
thems, there is no law on the subject,
and several congressman believe
."Dixie" superior to either as song
to represent the nation The advo-
Gates of Dixie" contend that the mu-
sic of The Star Spangled Banner
is too difficult and that the music of
America" is not of native origin.
Prof Brander Matthews of Columh:a
university argues that the sectional
character of "Dixie" make it insult

Shades of our departed heroes.
Grant Sherman Sheridan and their
fellows, to what evil day have we
come Dixie, to the tune Of which
marched that rebel host that would
have destroyed the union, to be the
national song The mere suggestion
is an insult to the memory of our
sacred dead who fought, bled and died
that this nation might live and not
perish from the face of the earth.
Is it not time that halt were put
to those inSidious efforts to foist upon
the nation the ideas and ideals Of the

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
To the Ladies' Column, Wisconsin
Blade.

To the Ladies' Column, Wisconsin
Blade:
/ read your paper every week. |
was sorry to see nothing in this de-
partment for a week. | think this is
very nice part of the paper for
like to get chance to see women
speak out what they think. Now I'm
going to ask you a question and you
can answer it in the paper or write
to me but | want an answer to
something | can't understand. Why
don't the colored people in Wisconsin
90 to church. I've been in Milwaukee
for four months and I've never
missed church since | came here and
don't see many people there.
Now the first thing l heard when
| got to this town was who the best
people was and where they lived and
what they did and so on. Well, I've
seen them all now and they are some
very nice people here. They dress
nicely, they speak properly and seem
up to date, but they don't go to
church. Now at my home our best
families were our Christian families
and there is where the South has the
best of the North To be a best fam-
ly down there you must serve God in
some form or fashion for morals
counts more than money. We have
people there who own beautiful
homes, large businesses and private
cars, but Thank God, they're not too
big for our chuches If they are at
first, with Gods help, they make
their churches big enough for them
to worship in and we have a string
of automobiles outside every Sunday
Oh my people, you are on the wrong
track. 'Tis grace has brought you
safe thus far and Grace will set YOU
free. Don't turn your backs on God
The Church is the meeting Place, 90
there for him. If your Church amt
big enough, make it larger. If your
minister isn't educated enougf% sup
port him so he can study If the rest
of the folks aren't good enough, oh,
help him, but go to church Now I
want you to explain this to me. Why
do Northern colored people dress all
up and visit all day Sunday and show
themselves in beautiful gowns at ball,
and fail to come once a week to meet
their God in Church.
Your earnest reader.

WOMAN'S REALM.
DUTY.

This is a time when every man
woman and child is thinking of the
dread proximity of the red god of
war. The air is pulsing, teeming
with it. The heart string of moth
ers are tense with the fear of losing
their boys, the wives ana chill
dren cling the closer to the loved
husband and father when the sound
Of the bugle is heard, yet what can
they do? Nothing, but their duty
We do not wish to look too far in
to the future-but for each moment,
we pray for strength to do our duty.
The duty nearest what soer it be,
So He appoint it, let this be our aim
To give our best endeavors full and
free,
That we need never bow the head
in shame.
Tho torn our hearts, tho broken b.
our lives
Wen do our best for all, from sur
to sun,
For what is there that Heaven can
grant US more
Than knowledge of our highest duty
done.

GAS RATE CONFERENCE
 WILL RE HELD HERE
General Manager Munce Telephones That He Will Come to This City
 This Week,

A telephone message from General Manager J. w. Munce, of the Ark ansas Natural Gas company, was re- celved yesterday morning by Secre- tary E. B. Bloom, of the Chamber of Commerce, asking that the committee ot local business men appointed at the meeting Friday night confer with him in this city instead of Little Rock. Mir. Munce stated that he did not want to inconvenience local gas consumers by having them make the trip to Little Rock, and that he would come to this city one day this week to place the gas situation before the local indus trial men.
 No date has officially been set for the conference, at which efforts will be made to dissuade officials of the gas company from establishing an increase Tn their present gas rate, but it is very probable that this meeting will be held Monday. MT. Munce stated that ilf he was unable to visit this city on tomorrow he would come at a date in the latter part of the week. Local consumers of gas stated yes terday that they are determined to do all in their power to prevent the rates from becoming effective and that it no compromise can be reached with the officials of the gas company the matter will be appealed to the United States fuel administrator.
