QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

Our Country sn's Patriotism Must Not
Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment.
In an article by r. K. McWOodsOn
which appeared recently In the New
York Sun on the attitude of the north
ern and southern white people toward
tho colored people as individuals and
az q race and whether the cOlOred man
should fight for bis country in case of
war the writer says:
It IL true that the black man Is no
more the pet Of the north. There was
q time that he was. but It seems now
that he Ii the pest Of the south and
the puzzle Of the north. The southern
ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mans future nor the north
erners too farsighted to see his present
condition. But It does seem that nei-
Their north nsr south has very much
sight when 1t comes to seeing the
black man In the right light One Is
prejudice blind. and the other Ia color
blind.
The white people Of the south see
too much Of him. and the white people
Of the north see too little Of him, and
90 q rule. the white people Of the north
Judge the black race by the few they
see In the northern cities. They must
go south to see the black man. We
mean the majority Of the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are a
strong type Of the worth and value Of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love the individual black man
and hate the black race and the north,
erners to hate the individual and love
the race. And here we find the black
man again between two extremes. The
southerners see too much Of him and
the northerners see too little Of him
The 6rst blood shed for Americas In
dependence was by Crispus Attucks, a
black man. In Boston. A question
comes In my mind now: Should a black
man shoulder gun aud 60 to war and
dght for this country. country which
denies him the rights Of citizenship un
der q dag which offers him no protec
ton. strips him of bis manhood by en-
acting laws which keep him from the
ballot box. DISTINGUISHED. segregated
Disseminated against. lynched. burned
at the stake. Jim crowed and disarm
edf n he lights. and Eight be must
FOR what does he fight?
Mr.. McWoodson's argument Ii quite
logical. but the attitude Of white peo
pie north or south. whether favorable
or unfavorable toward the c0lored
race. cannot blot out It's loyalty to Old
Glory. The Negro will continue tc
A4ht for his country and also light FOL

constitution and the dag guarantee to
an Americans without regard to race

Suppose under sudden readjust-
ment, the Negro could return to the
Southland in full freedom; are they
prepared to meet conditions? VIII
they return in great numbers to their
native homes. If the scarcity OF Ia
bor is to be a problem in the South
Il must effect the Negro employer as
the white man. The opportunities
for the Northern Negro are not
equally compared with those OF the
vii;te immigrant. This is vital
question. ..a

A GRADUAL CHANGE.

Minneapolis once was paradise
but now it's almost like Dixie land,
so far as Negros are concerned. A
Negro cannot rent an office any
where in the buildings within the
business district. DR.. r. S. Brown,
Attv's B. S. Smith and w. r. Morris
and Mr.. Jordan M. Morris have very
desirable offices, but none others
need apply. Atty. Gale P. Hilyer rs
associated with leading white law
firm-whose senior member is Hon.
Albert H. Hall, an unprecedented
American. Such is the case in many
other comparisons. We are granted
the luxuries and denied the necessities
in many instances.

Too often malicious remarks are
made about women, in particular, the
young women of our race. When
thew are employed by men, white or
black, they are often accused OF hav'
mo immoral relations with their en-
oloyers. If they are unemployed
the general remark Is Somebody Il
keeping her" The malicious liars are
fbe worst trouble makers. They "'us'

THAT DANGEROUS LIE.

A lie is always the cause of trouble
and oftimes brings about serious re-
suits. Misrepresentation on the part
of husband or wife will sooner or
later cause breach in their domes-
tic relations. Many men, whose
fraternal emblems signify that they
are ION the square" and they will
defend the truth" will conspire to
pull crooked deal and protect q lie,
especially when a woman is the vic
tim. A woman should know some
thing about her husbands affairs, and
her motives cannot be considered en-
tirely selfish or mercenary. A court
of domestic relations is needed and
will probably be authorized at this
session of the legislature. A real
adjustment will do much to prevent
family quarrel or a murder.

their white brethren, they have never

HOW TO PREVENT
THE HOUSEFLY

Musca domestica, the buzzing enemy
of the housewife and the busy dissem-
inator of TYPHOID and tuberculosis
musca domestica, the common house
fly, does not live through the winter.
The long held theory that harder rep
resentatives of the breed seek shelter
ed places and continue dormant until
the warming sunshine Of spring calls
them forth, is exploded in bulletin
just issued by the government.
"Under outdoor conditions" says
this bulletin ''flies are killed during
the first really cold nights; that is,
when the temperature falls to about
Is or 10 degrees F. In rooms and sim
liar places protected from winds and
, partially heated during the winter,
The flies either breed continuously
through the winter in warm houses
where they find food and place to de-
posit their eggs, or pass the winter as
larvae and pupae in manure piles, de-
clare the government observers.
To eliminate flies, therefore, 1t is as
important to remove manure piles and
other material in which flies breed just
before cold weather as at any other
time in the year. In country districts
where manure cannot be removed
promptly, fly tight pits or bins are ad.
vised.

for an urgent reply.
DR.. McVay replied, expressing re-
grets and telling the authorities Of his
misfortune.
The physician, however is doing his
bit. While one of the first subscribers

Jim Dale

(By Ellis Parker Butler, of the Wig.
ilantes)
Young Jimmy Dale, across our street,
Is just a gawky lad,
He grew so fast, the doctors said,
His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty play
But just the same, they drafted Jim,
And Jim has gone away.
Jim was sort of great. big kid
And fooling all the while
So, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now,
Lank legs, bum heart and all,
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jim's heart may drop hin
dead
Or he may live to be
Shot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or me?
By thunder! It's these odds to you J.
If kids like Jim can 60,
With smiles, to fight our wars for US
We can put up the dough.
If we can buy bond or two
And DON'T, while Jim, poor cuss,
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hell's too good for US

Ned Baldwin's Name Suggested
Portland telegram

Propaganda bringing out Edward D.
Baldwin for secretary Of state has
been launched from The Dalles.
"Ned' Baldwin is the private secre-
tary of Congressman N. j. Sinnott, he
is secretary of the Republican state
central committee, and he also was
secretary of the late Congressman
Ellis. Coming from the eastern Ore
gon section, Baldwin is the first aspir.
ant for state Office 0from that side of
the mountains in the 1918 campaign.
All the other aspirants with lightning
rods for governor. state treasurer and
the like are from western Oregon and
eastern Oregon is known to be pretty
clannish-which doesn't hurt Baldwin s
chances. Of course, the Baldwin boom
is somewhat premature, as it IS not
definitely decided yet that there will be
vacancy for secretary of state. The
vacancy depends on whether Ben Oh.
colt, incumbent, is candidate for
governor. The indications are that
Olcott will run for governor, and based
on these indications the Baldwin boom
has been launched.
