DR.. SHEPARD GETS RESULTS.
Letter of North Carolina Governor
Evokes Strong News Editorial.

The Greensboro IN. CO. Daily News
recently carried the following editorial
on Governor Bickett's letter to DR..
James E. Shepard in answer to the
latter's plea against the lynching Of col
ored people, with especial reference to
the Memphis and East st. Louis hor-
rOrs. .
Governor Bhkett's letter to DR.. James
E.. Shepard, president of the National
Training school at Durham, expresses
well the North Carolina attitude to-
ward the Negro man.
President Shepard asked seventeen
governors to issue appeals to the people
Of their states protesting against tho
lynching Of a helpless race. The Negro
educator desires to see a country in
which his own people may live and
hope" The intimation that living and
hoping become increasingly difficult in
the light of '1ynchings north and south"
gives the governor his opportunity to
invite the Negro back home. ..
Various assignments Of causes behind
the negro exodus to the north have
been given, but DR.. Shepard has struck
upon one that bears the appearance of
epigrammatic fOrce-"the right to live
and hope" Better wages naturally
have contributed to condition that
has greatly disturbed the south. Sur
face indications of lesser racial feeling
must have moved many to seek the
north. The right to live and hope po-
litically has done deal to encourage
the move northward.
Nevertheless the northern and west
ment of the black man has justified so
radical an expedient. The Chicago
Tribune in a series of singing edito-
rails the last several days has stun
bled upon q fundamental truth. The
south will lynch Negro, the Tribune
says, but the south never lynches 1.-The
Niger" The south will break out &C.
casionally into a hideous orgy Of tor
ture and mutiiation against one man,
but never against his whole family or
his community. 1t is not very fat
tering picture Of the vaunted liberality
Of the north and west that the Tribune
draws.
Whatever advantages the colored
man may feel other sections offer him,
it is undeniably true that the south
gives him his highest right to live If
by that is meant the provision Of the
physical means Of creating a liveli-
hood. And without such right It is
foolish to talk of hope. In Durham
the great democracy Of work finds its
highest expression. There is wealthy
colored man, ex-slave. named Fitzger-
aid. Nobody pretends that anybody
makes a brick equal to Fitzgerald's,
and Fitzgerald has grown rich because
he is an artist in his business. And
nobody ever drew the color line on one
of FtZgerald's bricks.

BUSINESS WOMEN TO HOLD
MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA
National Convention Of Walker Repre-
ssntatives Scheduled For Aug. so.

Philadelphia. The two big events of
national importance scheduled to take
place in this city the last week in Au-
gust are the annual meeting of the
National Medical association and the
first national convention Of representa-
tives Of the Madam G. j. Walker COM
pany. This latter convention will be
composed solely Of business women
and will be the only one of its kind
ever held in this section.
The object Of this meeting, aside
from the bringing together of the rep
resentatives Of the company from the
various parts Of the country, is to dis
cuss and put into operation the plans
which Madam Walker has mapped out
for placing the work on footing where
by all the workers may share alike in
the benefits according to the net re-
suits Of business.
In order to inspire the workers to
greater activity Madam Walker has
set aside $500 to be distributed in
prizes to the representatives securing
the largest number of new workers,
the largest amount of business done,
etc. The convention will be held for
two days, beginning on Thursday, Aug.
30. The contest closes Aug. 1. All
persons who enter the contest should
register their name at the home Office,
GAO North West street, indianapolis.
Madam Walker deserves great credit
for opening up opportunities for the
women Of the race to engage in bust
ness for themselves. Through her sys-
tenn Of work hundreds of women are
making ON independent living, and
there is room for hundreds of others
to do likewise. 1t is long way from
the sugar cane field and the washtub
at Is cents and $1.5O per day to own
ership of business enterprise which
commands high recognition by both
races in the mercantile world, yet this
is what Madam Walker has accom-
plished.

Loyalty Of Coiorsd Race Not Doubted.
If the German government has no
better judgment of the character OF the
American Negro than to believe that
he will play the part Of Benedict Ar
mold. the traitor, it is certainly going
to wreck fast, says V. p. Thomas In
the New Orleans Times Picayune.
There is no element of the American
population that will more earnestly
join the regular military and naval
forces of this government in giving the
Germans a sound thrashing on land
or sea than the American Negro.

THE PUBLIC MUST HELP

Meatless Tuesday and Wheatless We'd nesday have come to the United States to stay until the war ends or until the produc- ton of meat and grain IS sufficient to supply all the demands of America and its allies.
 For the remainder of this year and for the greater part of 1918 at least, there will not be enough of either Civilian United States must retrench or the men on the fir ing line, American French, British and Italian, must do without
 There is no way of lodging this issue There simply isn't enough to go around, if the consumption in America continues on the same generous scale as in the past Hence the governments request that on Tuesday the restaurants shall not serve meat and on Wednesday shall use minimum amount of wheat flour
 Cooperation on the part of the public is essential if this work of patriotic sacrifice Is to be successful. Not a few, but all the patrons of hotels and restaurants must deny themselves these commodities and must aid the proprletors and the food administration by cheerful1y accepting this minor deprivation
 The government is testing out the spirit of the nation in this important matter. It is trying to achieve with a minimum of regula- tlon that which must be achieved if Hoo ver's plans are to be successful
 In the event that the popular response does not come up to the food administrations expectations, the government will be driven to adopt other and more vigorous policies.
 There is nothing unreasonable about the governments request There is no personal suffering entailed by the sacrifices involved, and even if there should be 1t would be iusti- fable under the circumstances. Up to the present, however, it rests with the indvidr- als, and with hotel and restaurant proprietors, whether or not the request is carried out If it is desired to limit the supply of food for our soldiers in the trenches, disregard the request and have meat and wheat bread seven days every week.

LOCAL FOOD CONSERVATION

Is Fairbanks doing her duty i'll food con servation lines. Are the instructions ot the national food administration being abided by, or are we all passing the buck to Smith and Brown and Jones. We do not believe that the people ot this district are fully alive to the seriousness of the situation which Is con- fronting the government on the food queS- ton. The very attention being given 1t throughout the States IS proof positive of its importance.
 In all towns and communities in the States, and in some Alaskan towns as well, Wheatless and meatless days have been made compulsory one day i'll each week. Have we taken this step in Fairbanks: Ii not, why not Are we waiting to have the matter brought to the attention ot the food admin istration so that 1t may compel Us to act:
 We are rather inclined to think that 1t is not so much the fault of the people as ot the food administration itself, in that its man dates are not given the proper publicity. This matter of changing diets is one of the hard est tasks the government has. The effort to cut down on the usage Of certain articles on the bill Of fare is hard, uphill fight The principle is approved by nearly every one, but there is some reluctance in putting 1t into practice.
 It may seem far cry from food to patriotism, and the connection of the two may seem sordid to a few. Speaking of this association recently in the Atlantic Monthly, Vernon Kellogg said: Tt can be as fine as the spirit of democracy, and as ennobling as the struggle for democracy For in these days it is, in truth, all essential part o1 each Ii we cannot organize our effort in this world crisis by individual initiative, spirit and con sent of the people, then democracy IS faith on which we cannot stand. For autocracy has shown that it can organize its effort; 1t does it by imposing organization by force from the top. We must do it from the bot tom and voluntarily The administration of food is a test of what our form of govern ment is worth. Ii success in 1t did no more than secure its immediate alm-provldlng our allies with food--it would be wholly worth while But it will do much more than that; it will prove our faith in ourselves,

THE NATIONS MENACE

The present investigation being made by the federal trade commission into the charges ot food Controller Hoover that d number Ot wholesale and retail merchants Ill connection With food brokers have combined to boost food prices and produce the impression that there Is a food shortage should be more than a 'whltewasnng' a1Ialr. Livery fact having any bearing OH the matter should be thor oughly gone into, and probably will be, as the personnel o1 the commission is such that 1t has the confidence o1 the entire country.
 Victor AIurdock, the man who is con ductng the inquiry, Is especially noted for his progresslveness and his fairness o1 dealing. The merchants ot the country have nothing to fear from his actions If they have been free from questionable methods i'll their bus- ness, but Ii they have been implicated i'll the price raising it is reasonably safe to predict that they will get what is coming to them.
 Even under the best of conditions, food prices at this critical time are sure to be more than ordinarily high. The war is sure to bring this about, Without any artificial stim- ulation the cost of living will be felt keenly by a greater number of Americans than ever be fore Under artificial stimulation conditions are liable to be serious.
 The mood oi the entire country is one of intense patriotism and seIt-sacrifice for the good oi the country. There is no ten dency on the part of anyone to rail against high price, where they are known to be the result of legitimate conditions, but should these prices be proven to be caused by i'm proper market manipulation, those responsible are certain to be harhsly condemned by the entire country and should be severely dealt wlth by the federal or state authorities.
 Those who would deliberately take ad vantage of the United States being at war to hold up their fellow citizens and profit thereby are unworthy to be American citi- zens. They are merely patriots for what it can be made pay them, and patriot for profit is fostering sore in the body of a nation which should be eradcated

some places of the north. Changing cond- tions are gradually forcing this individual out of the game. Increased costs and greater dis tanccS are putting it beyond his means to keep on. Ii the full value of the great min eral resources Is to be obtained, he is the man who opens the way for the accomplish ment. But he cannot exist under present circumstances.
 He should be given the assistance Of which he is so richly deserving, and which he must have to open up new mineral depos- its. His labors in the past have laid the foundation for Alaska's present prosperity and without them in the future for while at least, we can hope to do no better than stand still, and possibly not that We be ieve that if the facts in this instance were placed before congress and reasonable sys- tenn of assistance suggested it could easily be secured At any rate, it is worth the eff fort of trying.

MATANUSkA COAL,
