BISHOP SMITH is EMPHATIC.

We have expressed the opinion time
and again that ultimately we would
find the white people Of the South
land speaking in our defense and the
white people Of tho North assailing us.
The day is rapidly approaching when
this anomalous situation will take
place and we see or think we see that
the time is at hand. In discussing the
affair at Houston, Texas, where a
clash between the local police force
ana members of the United States
Army took place, tho white press Of
this city and In the Southland was
unusually conservative in dealing
with tkis matter.
Even newspapers in Texas were
much more conservative than had
been generally supposed. In Detroit,
Michigan. however the worry ablo
Bishop c. S. Smith of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church found it
necessary to take issue with the De-
troit Pres anu 20 criticise severely
inc drastic tone or an editorial np-
pearing in the issue OF that
journal of August IS, 1917. Bishop
Smith. in his concluding remarks
says:
The fact Is tho white race by pre-
cipitating worldwar has turned
mans earthly abode into n veritable
he'll, and there is no telling when the
fires of damnation will be extinguish-
cd or what elements will be consum-
ca while they are raging. If plain
speaking is in order, let both sides be
heard.
This Is telling rebuke to a north.
ern Ncgro-hater.
Whtt:.ss'.aen OF ihe North rarely ever
deal With tho colored folks question
without making q worse. moss of it.
AS to the southern white folks, there
arc two classes OF them; one being
against us and tho other for us and
Doth sides appearing to tho northern
observer as being against us

SUPERINTENDENT CHANDELIERS

We have received copy of the for
ty-seventh annual report Of tho SUI
pertntendent OF the Richmond Public

OF the most exhaustive and accurate
reports OIL the kind that we have seen
any where in the United States. There
Is no feature OF the sehool-work that
Is not statiatically described. The
total enrolment OF colored pupils for
the session 1915-16 was 7,S43 in the
day schools and ZOOS in the night
schools The percent of school popu-
lation enrolled was sos white and S3.6
:olorcd. The per cent. Of daily atten-
lance III the colored schools was 94.3
and In the white schools, 92S. While
Inc colored pupils stood higher in
attendance in the day schools, they
stood lower In the night schools. Tho
per cent. OF attendance in the white
night schools was GIT and In the col
ored 1876.
The total amount paid white males
In the system for one year, 1915-16,
was ($102,417.72) one hundred and
two thousand, four hundred and sew.

Editor William Monroe Trotter Is
advocating another meeting OF lead
ing colored citizens and this time, he
wants tham to meet in the city Of
New York September is to 20, 1917 at
D1othcr Zion Church, where the ses-

ing.
Mr.. Trotter's plea is a strong one
ana conditions now, SO far as we are
concerned arc chaotic. The recent ar
rest and indictment of thirty-four
colored soldiers, who were On guard

Texas and the prospect of their sum-
mary trial by a drum-head courtmar-
tsal at Columbus, New Mexico, where
they afay be taken out at any mo-
ment and shot before sunrise, accen-
tsates the situation.
Tho holding Of this meeting will
result In much good, if it is conduct
cd along conservative lines and IL the
management will see to it that no
stop Is taken in conflict with law or
IN violation OF any of the multitude

OTHER USE FOR POWDER
NOW

IN ENDLETON should have
~ a good, patriotic fourth
of July celebration this
year; the occasion calls for it.
But no citizen will be remiss if
he fails to spend the usual am
cunt for fire crackers. The ma
ton has other use for powder
aside from shooting it off in
the air. The small boy wish
ing to show patriotic zeal may
do so by buying . good pair of
shoes for use in garden work
or by coaching up on the du-
ties of boy scout. With the
nation at war independence
Day will carry a deeper mean
ing than usual. This is time
for performance, not palaver.
1t will be appropriate therefore
if on the fourth of July there
be manifested a real spirit of
devotion to the nations welfars
even if some of the surface
trimmings be absent.

apparent the merchantmen are
becoming better able to defend
themselves against attack, as is
shown by the fact about half
those attacked by submarines
succeed in escaping.
On land, advices from sourc-
es that should be authentic
justify the belief that the Teu-
ton armies are gradually being
thrown back with every reason
to expect the process to con-
tinue. In artillery and in avi-
alton the allies have gained
the mastery: if this suprema-
cy is maintained we may ex-
pect a slow but steady drive
until the kaiser's forces are
driven out of France and Bel
gium.
In other words the tide is
running against the central
powers and the situation
should become more and more
pronounced as the war pro-
ceeds. An allied victory is as
sured. Yet it is far from be-
ing at hand and it will not do
to take chances. The foe is re-
sourceful and thoroughly or
ganized. Besides the stronger
and more extensive our prepa-
I rations for fighting the sooner
will the war be ended and the
more advantageous will be our
position when the time for set
tlement arrives.
