SOUTH LYNCHES Them

Henry Johnson, cOlored soldier, of
Albany, New York, has been cited and
decorated by the French military au-
thorities for what the French general
OF division terms "a MAGNIFICENT ex-
ample of courage and energy" With
him was Needham Roberts, another
colored man. Both men fought
bravely," says Pershing in his official
report of the exploit.
On the same day that the cables
from France brought the news of
Johnson's and Roberts heroism, the
wires from Valdosta, Georgia, brought
the story of the lynching of colored
woman, Mary Turner by name, be-
cause she had attempted to resist the
lynching of her husband.
This coincidence has moved the
New York World to inquire: with
tens of thousands of American colored
men fighting for civilization in France
under the American flag, how much
longer are the American people to
tolerate lynching of colored men and
women?
The. answer is easy. Lynchings of
colored people will be tolerated in the
South-where they occur almost ex-
clusively-so long as the political
party to which the New York World
adheres is permitted to deprive COL
.ored citizens of their right to vote
and thus, through the exercise of their
civil rights, to protect their rights to
property and to life.
There are few honest and sincere
colored men who use the term negro"
in describing themselves, but the ma
jority who use the term are jimcrow-
lists pure and simple. The time has
come to eliminate such words as Ger
man, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc.
People in the United States ought to
be satisfied to be known as Americans.
That one word is big enough to in
clude all persons born in this country.

NO sEcTIoNALIsM?

A bill to provide pensions at mini
mum of $25 a. month for veterans of
the Civil War passed the House of
Representatives by the impressive
vote Of PAL to 46.
Yet this is not the most impressive
thing in the incident. The forty-six
representatives who cast the negative
votes were all Democrats and all but
one of them came from the solid
South or it's immediate environs. To
them should be added two others, one
from Tennessee and one from Texas,
who answered present" when their
names were called.
The sole negative vote cast by a.
Northerner was provided by Mr.. Cor
don of Ohio, whose motives may best
be determined by his constituents,
who will have opportunity to pass
upon the question next November.
The other forty-fve members who 3D.
posed the bill are probably beyond
reach of any political or other chas-
tisement. They hail from states
where the loyal soldiers of the Civil
War are held in execration; and the
only method of dealing effectively
with them is by placing their party
in the minority in Congress. They
constitute majority of their party
and when the Democrats are in power

The Doctors.

Every physician today is potential army
doctor.
Every physician today should give thought to
what that changed life would demand of him.
In daily existence, of all professions the medical
should be the most wholeheartedy unselhsh.
In the military medical corps, this altruism must
be carried beyond the point of selhshness. Sacri-
ce, there, sweeps aside ethics preeedents customs
and practices of the profession.
None of the luxuries and conveniences of pri-
vate Office attend upon the physician who attends
upon the soldier in the dressing station just be-
hind the lines.
Gone is the grandeur of limousine gas-palace.
In its place the danger and horror of enemy gas
attack.
No >pandering- to the fancied ills of moneyed
folks. Instead, the army doctor dresses wounds
of such terrible nature as to call for his utmost
stamina self-control and his highest power of
gical skill in medicine.
1t is glorious thing to save life. But if it
is possible for life to be more precious than
another, then the life of soldier stands sacredly
supreme
Only one American doctor has thus far been
found directly responsible for soldiers death
through duty neglect This is now serving a
I2-month Jail sentence Were it 100 years, his in
generation could never blot out the crime or re-
store the life it cost.
Humanity summons every doctor to resolve
now, before Uncle Sam calls to place the soldiers
recovery, the restoration of health and strength
to the fighting man, in the gallery of his soul
the picture of his highest and most sacred
service to mankind and posterity.
