1.-THE arts of war, give him a cnance u
harden his muscles and adapt him
self to the conditions of camp and
trench and he will, we believe, give q
better account of himself than any
other private soldier under the sun.
But $50 month is good pay for the
private soldier. 1t is unprecedentedly
good pay. Just how goood it is is Sc.
forth by a correspondent who writes a
newspaper article in which the follow
ing appears:
Il do not claim that $50 month is
a munificent salary, but the soldiers
pay is not so low as it sounds. The
coal miner has to pay his food, light,
clothing and fuel, pay for his shelter.
and in many cases incur expense for
numerous other items. such as trans
portation to and from his work. When
i'll he must fee a doctor. If he could
buy such life insurance as the soldier
receives it would cost him considerable
money.
Uncle Sans soldiers are fed, cloth
ed and sheltered at government ex-
pense. They have free medical attend
ance, free transportation and free in
surance in the form of pensions. l do
not profess to be able to estimate the
cash value of what the soldier gets in
addition to his pay, but this much is
obvious-that soldier needs to spend
very little of his pay; it is nearly all
velvet; and very few men in civil life
earning less than 500 a month can
save $25 month, even if they have no
dependents.
hC oOl0AOl ll1Ao q AAoA u AAAC Ills
food and shelter are not comparable to
what he is generally used to in civil
life-but they are sufficient. Many men
doubtless make great financial sacri-
fees, besides risking their lives, to
serve the country in the army or navy
But their pay is not so poor as is COM
monty represented, because it is usua,
to ignore the fact that their physical
needs are provided for by their en-
ployer when they enter the service. To
pay a miner $50 month, and make
him provide for his wants out fhis
own. pocket would be preposterous
He would be heavily in debt at the ,end
Of the first month"
We have no patience with those who
complain that it is objectionable ex-
travagance to make the pay of priyates
in a great army $50 a month. In view
of the sacrifice the average fighting
man must make and the risk he must
run, he is not going to be oyerpaid on
the basis of $50 month for the pri
vate The only question to consider is
whether we are able as nation to fooI
the bill We think we are.-Albany

PAYING THE FULL PRICE.

Aristocracy is aristocracy whether
displayed by race, society, labor un-
ions, churches, governments or what
not, and If America means real de-
mocracy to be world wide, much work
must be done here. In these crucial
times when America has entered war
the length and outcome of which no.
body knows, several thousand people
assemble around an American citizen
in mob formation in struggling and
Christian America, gathering around
their victim, make merry while his
body is saturated with oil and to give
the occasion an ennobling appearance
of lofty celebration, the unveiling of
the Statue of Liberty, or dedication
of a National University, a woman.
Gods noblest specimen, is called upon
to apply the torch Almost as pleas
ing as it was when the Belgians wit
messed their children thrown in burn
ing buildings by the Germans. Hor-
rors horrified! This American citizen
chained to log, saturated in oil fur
nished the despicable sight, as the
raging flames engulfed him, licking up
on his human form and reduced it to
ashes. With one ear the Negro lis
tens to the bugle call, with the other
ear he hears the footsteps Of the mob,
and the groans and cries Of his peo-
pie; with his eyes he sees Old Glory,
the dearest and only flag and swears
to it his allegiance, yet his thinking
mind and pierced soul feel the gaping
wounds of the recent St. Louis riots
freshly torn assunder. With all OF
this we must not lose our heads; yet
be wise as serpents.
o Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kill
est the prophets, and stonest them
that are sent unto thee; how often
would have gathered thy children to-
gether, as hen doth gather her
brood under her wings, and ye would
not.

Never in the annals in the school
history of Denver have so many boys
and girls graduates of color appeared
upon any commencement platform as
appeared Wednesday night, June 9Th,
at the City Auditorium. Never were
the exercises of any preceding COM
mencements SO elaborate, so genuine
ly democratic and equal as those
which occurred that night. Our hearts
leaped with Joy as we looked upon the
professional of the graduates on en-
tering the platform, having been pre-
viously preceded by 200 junior girls
as escorts, all u white. When the d.
plomas were awarded these marching
clock-like appearing juniors formed
hollow circle around which the grad
yates marched and received their d.
plomas. Fourteen Negroes were lus-
tily cheered, as were others, as they
were handed their diplomas before an
audience of $4,000 people. Those re-
ceivtng diplomas were from East Den-
yer, James A. Austin, Inez H. John
son, Rothacher C. Smith, Harriet r.
Travers; South Side, Odessa l.. NC
Cullough and Georgia r. Washington

Rebecca L. M. Smith, and North Side
Made Nelson and VIM. D. Fountain.
While we were pleased, nearly over
joyed, but we failed to note this year
any Negro in either the girls or the
boys oratorical contests, in the cadet
battalions, nor mentioned as honor
graduates in participating for medals
in the patriotic essay contest-au OF
which educational activities we can
participate. Our sweet girls and
nicely appearing boys looked fine and
the scene would swell any race man
or womans heart with pride, much
less the tickled parent who was di
rectly interested To our graduates
we ask now, after. graduation, What!
The world has fixed it's eyes on you
to do something Of real benefit be-
cause of those glorious advantages
you had. o, such responsibility rests
upon your shoulders because OF the
distinguished honors given you. Will
you make good? The world will take
your measure and time will give the

GROWTH OF EXTENSION WORK
At ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
How q Georgia Institution IL Meeting
the City Amussmsnt Problem.

Atlanta, Ga.-Atlanta unive -sity Is
doing an important civic service in its
college extension work by giving whole
some and uplifting amusement free Of
charge to the colored citizens of At
lanta. The undertaking in one respect
is similar to the work done by Hull
House in Chicago some years ago
when It used the young Greeks Of Chi
cago to present the ancient classical
Greek dramas.
To compensate for the lack of oppor-
tunity to see plays under conditions of
self respect In the theaters Of the city
the teacher Of expression gives plays
of the best sort every year. On per-
feet moonlight night "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" was given out Of doors.
Nature has provided on the campus in
a grove a perfect amphitheater, SO
that many Of those who saw these
young people SO skillfully perform this
play said they never want to see it in
doors again.
Recently near the close of a terms
instruction the class presented Ham
let" also free of charge. The chapel.
the only auditorium the university has
was packed almost to- sufrocation with
an eager audience that would have
pleased the great master, William
Shakespeare himself. ii he could have
looked into the faces of the audience.
and we think he would not have been
dfspleased with the acting. One who
has seen the great actors give these
plays is inclined to sigh ut the temer-
ity of young actors who would attempt
tragedy, and the sigh is often justified.
Nevertheless many an amateur has
been quickened by such performances.
In good music, too. Atlanta univer-
sity Is doing missionary work. Free
recitals of Oratorios and choral classes
bring to these people an elevation of
taste to Offset the vulgarities of much
of the popular music. At the recent
commencement former President Hor-
ace Bumstead delivered the histor-
ical address covering the fifty years Of
the life Of Atlanta university, the first
Negro college established in Georgia.

PROMOTER AND PATRIOT.
Leadership Of Or. James e. Shepard Of
the National Training School.
Rv N RARNHTT DnDSON

The patriotic response Of the colored
the present crisis Is a remarkable trib-
ute to their loyalty and devotion to
their native country. Groups OF men
who are engaged In educational work
and business enterprises of various
kinds have been active in giving In
structions to their constituents a. to
how they may best serve their country.
and race. Among the stalwart leaders
in such work is DR.. James e. Shepard,
president of the National Training
school, Durham, n. c.
AS far back as January DIR. Shepard
took the initiative In calling the atten-
tion Of our people to the necessity Of
making due preparation for any crisis
which might come upon the nation or
the race at a time of nation wide un-
rest and expectancy on account Of the
continuance Of the European war and
the great exodus Of our people from
the south.
When 1t was seen that war with
Germany was imminent DR.. Shepard
Immediately sent a telegram to Presi-
dent Wilson offering the use of the
building and grounds OF the National
Training school as recruiting station.
When war was finally declared he be-
gan at once to show our men the i'm
portance OF enlisting in defense Of the
nation. Again when 1t became appar-
ent that there was not a sufficient num-
ber Of colored men well versed enough
in military tactics to become officers
Of regiments DR.. Shepard urged that
young men Of high school and college
education (students prepare them
selves for holding rank as commits
stoned officers.
He also studied the situation with
view of seeing that our men get
square deal in the matter of equipment
and accommodation. Thus the head OF
the National Training school has not
only proved himself to be an educator
but a safe and wise leader of his race
in loyalty to the nation. That he has
the support Of broad minded white
persons north and south in the work Of
the training school is a matter Of su-
preme satisfaction.

GOD GIVE US MEN.

God give us men! A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith
and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does not
kill;
Men whom the. spoils OF Office can
not buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will
Men who have honor-men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before dema-
gogue
And damn his treacherous batteries
without winking!
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above
the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing. God give US men.

TO EsTELLE.

Like errant waves my thoughts DO go
And wander miles away from me,
To reach land upon whose shore
They may at last come home to
Thee.
To you they turn when, tired of strife,
They crave and seek the boon OF
rest
From al 1.-The many trials of life
From harsh DEGREES and fate's hard
tests.
But still no craven thoughts are these,
Nor do they play a cowards part;
Refreshed and soothed by you they
seize
Their swords and with stout hearts
depart.
God grant that when the fight is DER
And regulations bauble won,
They turn again to your fair shore
To rest till time ITSELF is done.
