Good Advice Scattered.

In a certain passage of scripture
1t is recorded that sometimes GOOD
seed is sown but the weeds spring
up and choke it, Equally true today
as it was centuries ago. And this in
a materiel as we'll AS moral sense,
says the Oelweil Register.
We are prone to get enthused in
the spring, especially this year. and
plant gardens. We see the seed
come up and then perhaps we neg
lect to keep the weeds down. The
ground looks like anything but a
garden. In the late summer and
fall we fail to get the expected re-
turns. Mostly because we have been
slothful and have not used little
elbow oil welding the hoe.
1t is sometimes the same way in
life. A whole lot of good advice is
scattered and the boy or girl S start
ed out in the right direction. But
later, in consequence of lack OF good
surroundings and lack OF solicitide
of those who should be interested
weeds ard tares spring up in the life.
1t is just possible that you and l

BURDENING THE NEWSPAPER
Taxes ON Them Proposed VIII Mean
Big Burden.

Various propositions have been
before Congress for war taxes on
newspapers and magazines. Taxes
on advertising, On gross profits, a1d
increased newspaper postage rates
have been suggested.
The feeling of Congress may be
expressed by the reported remark
of one member, to the effect that
THE newspapers made this war, now
let them pay for it." Probably the
people who say that are the same
ones who at other times claim the
newspaper do not exert influence
The newspapers do not ask to
dodge any taxes that fairly belong
to them. But they do object to being
singled out specially for taxation on
basis not imposed on any other in.
dustry. Advertising Is the princi-
pal source of revenue for most news
papers. 1t is about as fair to place
a tax on gross advertising revenue,
as to tax a merchant on two-thirds
Of his gross sales, or to tax a man
ufacturer on two-thirds Of his gross
product. If anyone advanced such a
proposition as that, the entire bust
ness community would be on his
neck.
While most people expect service
rendered the government will be paid
for, even in the present eXigency,
the newspapers donated many coli
umns of their space to the govern
ment for booming the Liberty
Bond sale. Few of them asked any
pay for it. If it had not been for this
free publicity the loan could not
have been put over.
In return for this, it is proposed to
place on them a burden unlike what
any other industry is asked to bear.
The newspaper press is hard put to 1t
by the high price Of paper stock. II
is certainly inopportu2e to load an
other burden on them now, over and
above what other industries are pay
ing. The government depends on the
press to arouse patriotic sentiment
and secure cooperation in the war.
Don't burden too heavily the agency
on which so much depends.

Didn't Bleed Uncle Sam.

When Uncle Sam decided to start
his daily paper, "The Bulletin" in
which news of the war is printed.
He asked the paper makers for bids
on stock on which to print the paper.
The mills quoted him a price of
1910 per hundred, about half what
it costs the average country publish
er. Uncle Sam says no you won't.
$3.50 per hundred will net you a
reasonable profit Sell it to me at
that figure or I'll run your mill to
suit myself. The paper used in the
Bulletin is being furnished at $3.50.
Wish we could tell the paper maker
the -four man and The coal man just
about what we thought was the right
price for him to charge us and get
away with 1t. as nicely as does our
Uncle who presides over this coun-
try. Maybe our Uncle Samuel could
help us out of this trouble If he
would use his influence In the right
direction.

"MARSE" HENRY WATTERSON'S
KIND WORDS.

KIND WORDS.
The Courier Journal edited by the
brilliant and versatile Henry Waiter
son, has some very nice things to
say concerning the Negro as a SOL
der, and prospective army officer.
which we are sure will be appreciat-
ed by the race. 1t is very seldom
that a white Journal st can rise su.
perior to his prejudice and talk like
this. He says:
I'm the war now in progress the
American Negro will make his first
appearance as a commissioned Off
Ger in the United States army. Sue
cessful candidates at the Negro officers
Train 'ng Camp in Iowa are receiy-
ing their commissions. They will be
assigned to Negro units in the regu-
lar army, the National Guard or the
National Army as the occasion de-
mands. The mobilization of the Ne
gro troops will Eegin within short
time under plans now perfected.
1.-The American Negro fights well
when well Differed has been ia
miliar assertion, the inference being
that white leadership is necessary.
There is nothing N the history OF
black races to warrant the beief that
the American Negro must be well
fficered"-meaning led by officers of
another race-lefore he can be de-
pended upon as a soldier.
Negro Generals in Latin-American
countries are numerous and many OF
them have been not only brave but
also distinguished. Gen. Maceo in
the Cuban revolution was recent
example. Hamilcar Hasdrubal Han
nibal and other famous North Afri-
cans were not of the race represent
ed in America by descendants OF
Africans. This is true of CetewayO
in South Africa. The Zulus, the
Swat and other Kaffir tribes, dis
tinguished in modern African war.
fare, are more akin to the natives
of the Atlas Region and the Barbary
Coast than to the progenitors of the
American Negro, but the Sudanese
are Negroes of the equatorial region
of Africa. History contains an ample
record of their military ability. The
names of Sir Samuel Baker, Gen.
Gordon, Col. Hicks, Kitchener and
Others who fought in the Sudan were
made famous in military enterprises
which tried the metal of the best
European soldiers, with superior
arms, acting against i'll armed but
fearless and exceptionally ferocious
natives. Omdurman and Khartum
are names familiar the world over as
scenes of hard fighting. The Negro
soldiers of the Mahdi and the Kalifa
in Gordons day and in Kitchener's
lacked nothing in courage.
1t is not necessary to go further
than Latin-America to look for ex
amples of capable Negro officers
There is no doubt about the cour
age OF American Negroes as sold lers
There will he no doubt about thu
capacity of the Negro candidates witt
have won commissions in the Officers
Reserve Camp at Des Moines. Off
cered by men Of their own race TIL
Negroes will experience an increas
of pride. They will exhibit spiri
of rivalry and increased ambition t
make creditable showing in battle
