tuition in the proper care and training
of this younger element.
There is a pressing need for more
dormitory space to accommodate and
train 300 worthy young men and wOm-
en- to go out for lives of service Thir
ty thousand dollars is required for this
purpose. An administration and class
room building, to cost $4,000 is need
ed and for heat, water and light $12,-
500. At present the school Is paving
over $1,000 yearly for these things.
For a mechanical building $4,000 Is
the sum required.
An endowment, not for extravagant
expense or unnecessary needs, but to
carry out effectively and thoroughly
the work and simply tighten the bur
den, is suggested. Just $250000 will
insure the permanency of this institu-
ton. No one need withhold a gift
however small. Contributions are
promptly acknowledged with thanks to
all who avail themselves of sharing
in the support of this great work for
the training of young men and women
for leadership and service.

pie to defend their country's rights
against a foreign foe the views of DR.
Hollis B. Frissell. president of the
Hampton institute, concerning the atti-
tude of the cOlored people are of great
value. In an interview few days
after this country declared war against
Germany, DR.. Frissell said:
After thirty-six years OF labor among
the Negroes OF the south feel that
have n fair knowledge Of conditions. l
have been interested to read some state
ments that indicate there are large
number of Negroes who are disloyal to
the government. Should there be call
for help the whole Hampton institute

on for service. They are under military
training.
1.-THE Negro has always been loyal.
Certainly no other race coming from a
foreign soil can be compared with the
Negroes in their loyalty to this country.
What is true Of the past is certainly
true Of the present"

Withholding Of the Ballot Creates Spirit
Of Revenge.
The Withholding of the ballot from
citizens OF the United states who are
entitled to 1t, on account Of race or
color. is a serious violation OF the con
stitution. Thousands Of colored men
in the south are denied the right of
franchise for no other cause than tbat
OF color. and yet in a crisis like the one
which this country now faces they take
up arms if necessary in defense Of the
government.
Such high handed injustice is enough
to make the heart OF man sick and 1t
may dilute the quality of his patriot
ism 1t creates within his very being
a spirit Of just resentment The vote
less citizen is a sad commentary on the
justice of democracy.

war, without at all entangling our
selves with other nations.
While not quite germane to this dis
cussion, it seems to me that his pro-
posed referendum-and 1 believe IN
the referendum principles applied
to the wrong situation We are, even
on Colonel Bryan's statement, pro-
ceeding wholly according to interna-
tional law and the other nations are
not According to the decision of the
supreme court International law is
part of the law of the land, that is,
part of our law. AS such it is already
enacted and it is our duty to enforce
it where violated with reference TO
ourelves AS shown by the facts in
France, it is not necessary to take any
to proceed to enforce this law, and if
war should be declared on us for such
enforcement we have, according 20
the principles of self preservation, the
duty to defend ourselves
Now if Colonel Bryan wants 10 re-
fer anything, he should refer to the
voters the proposition that we aban-
don the principles of international law
for which we have always stood.
Pending their repeal on such refe-cn-
dunn ii would be the duty of our OfIi-
Gals to enforce them: Suppose that
the prohibitory amendment recently
carried in Nebraska should be re-
submitted, it would clearly be the du-
ty of the officials to enforce the law

Adams, or such declared war as be-
gun with England in 1912, break out
between the United States and Ger
many, it would be our duty to avoid
any alliance which would in any way
imply acquiescence in the wrongs done
by the allies to us, or which would
force us to continue in the war; to
carry out the purposes of the entente,
should Germany recede from her po-
sition and make reparation
1t is right that we should, if neces-
sary, make war either virtual or de-
clared to abolish the ruthless subma-
rine policy as applied to our ships and
citizens, but it does not follow that we
should pledge ourselves to remain III
the contest after its purpose has been
served in order to compel the sultan
to turn Contantinople over to the car.
1t is proper that we should, if neces-
sary, make war to secure the rights
of our citizens to travel where inter-
national law gives them the right 10
go, without danger of being killed il
violation of such law, but that does
not mean that we should bind our
selves to remain in the war in order
that the Adriatic become an Italian
lake 1t is proper that we go to war,
if necessary, to further the cause of
humanity, where the lives of our cit
liens are jeopardized in common with
such cause, but in so doing we need
not and should not endorse the atri-
tude of Great Britain in denying the
freedom of the seas, or acknowledge
her right to violate the provision Of

so insist. Until the PRINCIPLES of in
ternatlonal law are disavowed bv the
people, 1t is our duty to insist on their
enforcement. 1 might add that any
attempt to repudiate by referendum
the principles of international law ad-
Vanclng the interests and rights Of.
neutrals for which this country h<E
contended and still contends would be
overwhelmingly beaten.
In this discussion 1 have not refer
red TO the advisability of entering a
league TO enforce peace such as that
supported by President Wilson. for
mer President Taft, Elihu Root. and
opposed by Colonel Roosevelt and
colonel Bryan. Our actions on this
question should depend on the char
acIer or the league proposed Should
the war be followed by the establish
ment or greater degree of liberty
ana justice so that the pledges of ma
lions might not be set at naught by
the uprising of crazed masses; should
there be established a customs union
among nations so that they would be
drawn together by trade relations and
not repealed by them; should a clear
understanding be arrived at and carri-
ed out in regard to the character of
ornaments and armies maintained by
each nation and should the machinery
OF the plan be worked out in a scieils
tlf1c and systematic manner, the pos
sibilities for good of such league
would be incalculable. Should it fail
in some of these vital particulars. it
