THE WAR NOT IN VAIN.

If the revolution in Russia means
that the Jews and other subject races
will be given full citizenship and that
the pale will be abolished, then the
bloody European war has not been in
vain.
The new government has given this
pledge and the Jewish people and the
Poles and other peoples who have felt
the iron heel of Russian tyranny are
rejoicing.
|, Whether the action will be sus-
tanned by the Russian masses is an
open question, but the chances are
that it will be approved as the masses
of all the various races have been
comparatively friendly in their deal
ings with each other when uninflu.
enced by government coercion.
The great danger is that the pres
ent government may be overthrow
by the return of the Romanoffs or the
reactionaries to power. The pogroms
or massacres of the Jews were in
variably arranged either by the gov.
eminent or the Greek church authori-
ties. $3.50
Let us hope that there will never be
a reversion to government by terror.

OUR NEED OF JUxrAPoslTloN

(From the Boston Guardian.)
That we much rather be, and asso
clate among ourselves, is a saying by
Colored Americans that has become
almost trite. That is a mistake: it
is feeling of avowed cowardice and
innate inferiority. It is an utter i'm.
possibilitay for the two races to sub
scribe to common gov eminent. and.
at the same time, each race work ou.
Its own salvation. The theory" has
been tried and resulted into a CHASTITY
fa1lure;t instead of making for har
mony and cordial good feeling be.
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred AMI antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach.
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that It only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
Tor US to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably folk.w.
We have followed this advice" fat.i
fully and have been rewarded In
terms Of residence segregation. street
segregation, conf1scation and loss of
property. anti-intermarriage- which is
all OF the blacklist pieces Of legis.
lat1on, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy Of white
brutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from mon.
resistance" and rather be by our.
selves. That with the same degree
OF e1ontry and terrible LEGISLATION
with which our property is taken ana
confscated, with this same effontry
and, legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.

Jim Crow Nest Point.
(From the Indianapolis Freeman.)

(From the Indianapolis Freeman.)
a BILL IN the house Of represents
tives at Washington was recently In
troduced reading in the title: To pro-
vide 9 commission to secure site,
plans and designs for school to train
Negro soldiers. The object is to give
similar training to that at West Point.
We note that among those named for
the commission is Thomas Taggart,
former senator Of Indiana. Knowing
his goodly intentions toward the race
one may be assured that the effort
is worthy of consideration. The Ne
groes, however, we think, will not be
too hurried in Selling what appears
an opportunity. They, we think, will
be divided in their opinion as to which
is the better thing to do: to go on be-
coming soldiers as they have been, or
ask the government to bring about a
greater and more distinct separation.

Agreed to Be "Set Aside"

(From the Eagle, Washington, D. CO.
No, the colored delegates to the M.
E. General Conference, held at Sara
toga Springs, N. Y, recently, did not
walk out" They simply assented to
arrangements to be "set aside"-to be
segregated into a colored general
conference, to be presided over by a
white bishop, being denied the privi-
lege of directing their own labors in
the Masters vineyard. Two years
from now the two wings of the M. e.
church, North and South, will unite
and the separation of the colored
membership and the refusal of bishop
ric honors to the 100000 colored COM
municants are designed to clear the
way for the approaching "love feast"
There is verify in the assertion that
in it's primal manifestations, the
church is social organization, with
religion as a by-product..

WALLER AGAINST NEGRO"
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(Fr0m Amsterdam News.)

Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: / cannot too heartily congratu.
late you on q recent editorial discour-
aging the use Of the word Negro"
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
lie that it is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both physical and mental
segregation Of the people Of color. It's
use Is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
Do Bots and Washington feel that its
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will, of the masses. The
term Negro" is not only absurdly In
accurate as applied to millions of col.
ored people, but it is also alarminly
Injurious, for the following reasons:
q. 1t has never stood historically or
In the present, anywhere in the world,
for anything noblelor uplifting. Most
high-grade Africans repudiate It.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Gu1neas, Sudanese and Senegam-
bans only.
c. It's derivatives. "Negroism," "Ne-
grofy," and It's compounds, Negro-head,
Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all clear
~, In their associations, degrading.
d. It's feminine form, ''Negress," is
Justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, II you favor the use of the mas.
culine term.
9. It has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries,
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race. For when he
speaks Of the worthy he invariably
says "colored" ~
t. 1t is not differentiated In the mind
and thought of the whites from the1z
favorfte and generally used (amone
themselves) terms, MICRO" and mig
ger"
6. AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat 1t has an unquestioned in
fluence in cutting US off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
OF the millions Of colored Africans, ASH
atics and islanders of the Yonde1
world.

Hates the Term "Negro."

II hate the term Negro because it
is being used in terms of hatred. It
is the cause of the segregation of the
Negro; it is being used in contempt
in public places; it is an excuse for
disfranchising him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching him. Only one
tenth of one per cent Of the colored
people in America can trace their
descent to Africa, and there is no
more right to call all colored people
Negroes than to call .all white people
Turks or Armenians. Assistant

ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS.

A recent issue of the Chicago Eve
ming Post. one of the leading papers
of the country, contained the follow
ing editorial:
All American Regiments.
Men who are or who have assumed
to be spokesman for the different
"original nationalities'' which go to
make up our American life have
offered to raise regiments composed
entirely of volunteers of German
Americans, Swedish-Americans Irish
Americans, or of some other kind Of
Americans to serve this country in
time of need.
This is all very well as showing a
proper spirit of willingness to defend
the country, but the good of the future
of the land demands that regiments be
composed of men of all origins. What
the United States wants to get rid of
is the Americanism which has some
other kind of an ism coupled with it.
1t will make for real Americanism
if into all the regiments which, un-
happily, may have to be raised there
shall enter all the elements of Ameri-
can life. There is no melting pot like
the army camp kettle; and there is
no democracy like that of the dog
tent. Soldiers in the field get to know
one another. Their aims are the same
and their life becomes the same. They
carry back home the democracy and
the comradeship which they learned to
understand and to love in the field
We never will get rid Of hyphen-
ated Americanism if we have hyphen-
ated regiments in the service. Men
Of English, Irish, German, Swedish,
Scotch or any other extraction should
serve together when the cause is that
OF the country which they have made
their own. # 8 S=
We have reprinted the entire article
4 because we believe that every word
of it is true. All good American citi-
zens should join in the effort to break
down the color line which at present
confines colored soldiers to four seq

regated regiments, which are relic OF
the Civil war.
Now that war is really here, colored
patriots are ready and anxious to be-
come defenders of their country. They
should be allowed to enlist anywhere
and at any time in any regiment
of the United States army. They have
proved their loyalty and valor from
Bunker Hill to Carrizal.
