LNsURING OUR FIGHTING MEN.


Work on the plan of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo for life and
indemnity insurance to the soldiers
and sailors of the United States Is
progressing. The advisory commit
tee of 10 prominent insurance men
and other committees and the secre-
tary are working out the details and
a bill will ultimately be drafted and
presented to congress for action.
The report of the various committees
and the secretary's action furnish a
tangible working basis for the legts-
latiOn.
The insuring Of our soldiers and
sailors will be only new application
of a well-known principle. EN-
ployes' insurance, especially for
those engaged in a hazardous en-
ployment, has long been recognized
as a just and wise and profitable
policy in private business, and has
been successfully operated for years
In fact through the United States
Employees Compensation Commission
fvT1IdH crIpIoy 0o t1Tc- s0vor nt1ror1t
are now insured against accidents
occurring in the course of their en-
ployment.
The wisdom and justice of a great
government applying the principle
to it's citizens who for their countrys
sake engage in the extra hazardous
employment of war are apparent to
all. Our soldiers and sailors in de-
tense OF their country are daily haz-
arding their lives and safety and
they certainly deserve the same pro-
lection, and their dependents deserve
the same protection, that the great
business corporations give their en-
ployes and the United States
gives certain of it's employees.
Secretary McAdoo before the con-
ference of insurance men outlined
his views as follows 1T seems to
me that we ought not, as we send
our men into this war. say to them
that they must be dependent upon
future legislation for the granting Of
cOmpensatiOns which have hereto
fore. under our policy, taken the
form of pensions. Our brave men
should not be left in uncertainty or
doubt as to what is going to be done
for them in case of either death or
total or partial disability A man who
goes out to fight for the United States
is entitled to know in advance what
a just government is going to do for
him"
One of the great uses Of the pro-
ceeds of the Liberty Loan Bonds is
to protect our fighting men, to sup
ply them with everything that will
make them powerful, effective and as
safe as may be. That those who
meet with disability in the course of
their duty should be given Compen-
sation and that the dependents of
those who die for their country
should be given compensation and
should be given compensation is ex-
actly in line with and really a part
OF this use of the proceeds of the
Liberty Loan Bonds.

DRAWING COLOR LINE SCORED.

DR.. p. Nj. Walters, president
of Cannon Theological Semina-
ry, led a debate Mt the recent ses-
sion. of the New York Conference
in which the drawing of the color
line was strongly scored. The con-
ference passed resolutions vigor-
ously denouncing the proposal to
draw the color line in our Church
and DIR. Walters delivered a speech
which made a profound impression
upon the Conference. SO strong
was the impression that the Con-
ference voted him vote of thanks.
Among other things DR.. Walters
said:
''Dr. Blake advocates that the
colored people be withdrawn from
the Conference to pave the way
for uniiication of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South with that
of the North. | feel that such ac-
tion would be mistake. 1t would
mean that instead of being a great
orld church W. hll degenerated
into sect.
Our Negro brethren are absolute
ly loyal to the Church and to
Christ, and they must not be hum
iliated. We are praying for church
unificatioh, but it cannot be that
we would want it to come from de-
basement Of the colored people in
that way. Our hearts pulsate for
the cause of world democracy, but
let us remember that the cause of
democracy is not yet fought out in
America"
During DR.. Waters stay in the
South he has won many friends
and for the institution which the
Church has committed to his care.
He has undertaken great task
and he is giving great satisfaction
in the handling of that task in the
manifestation of real brotherlinss
as we'll as in the high ideals he has
for the institution - Southwestern

The APPOINTMENT
OF WHITE.

The Colored people of this State,
as a whole as well as a large pro-
portion of the better element of
white people, think that the appoint
ment of Ex-S Sheriff White, of Jack
son County, as Superintendent of the
Chester penitentiary. is an insult to
them. and, they also think that
Gov. Lowden should have chosen
a man of higher ideals than this
former she'iff seems TO po sess.
1t will DE remembered that White
permitted an unlawful and brutal
legal hanging to take place at Muir
physboro a year or so ago. In fact.
White was chief performer at the
show Gov. Dunno, as we know.
reprimanded White for the way he
had done and prevented him from
repeating the performance by con-
tinually,reprieving Scott. the intend
ed victim. When Lowden became
Governor, he commuted the Sent
ence to life-imprisonment.
Ii seems that such a man as this
White should have been treated
more nearly like he was wont to
treat Others, like a dog.

IRELAND -ANDTHE SOUTH.

Ihe recent.move of Lloyd George
to settle the problem of Ireland
is attributed to the promptlngs of
Mr.. Balfour, who is said to have
been told in Washington that the
people of America would look up
on our alliance with Great Britain
with much more enthusiasm If it
were assured that no nation among
our allies should have unsettled
a question involving the right of
self.government.'
This is doubtless correct state
ment of American opinion so far
as it relates to the question of
home rule for Ireland. In this eoun-
try the cause of home rule has had
vigorous champions and found the
bulk of its financial support. The
Lloyd George ministry could do
no more helpful thing, SO far as
winning the mind of America is
concerned, thar to grant Ireland
what she hes so long sought.
The suggestion upon which Lloyd
George has acted must have come
from some authoritative official
source at Washington. Presumably,
also, it came from Democratic
official for Mr.. Balfour has not
been permitted to associate with
Republicans at the Capital.
We hope this Democratic official
will not coniine his suggestions TO
Ireland. This country itself has
unsettled aquestion involving the
right of self.government.' > Down
in the States of the South there are
negroes, more numerous than the
people of Ireland, who are denied
the right of self-government IN any
form. They do not even enjoy, as
the people of Ireland already do,
the privilege of representation in
the nations legislature. In some
cases they are not even permitted
to live. We would be glad II Mr..
W Wilson could get this suggestion
and act upon it as speedily as
Lloyd George has in the Irish mat
ters. We are showing Il large en-
thusiasm for democracy these days,

in Poland and in Russia Why not
display little interest in demoera-
cy in Georgia. Chicago Repub-
