mission is not destructive, but con-
structive; it is not bent on providing
war equipment, but equipment to re-
pair the ravages of war; it is not call
ing on US to win the war, but to save
those who have suffered or may suffer
in the effort to WIN it. 1t sounds the
note nearer to absolute unselfishness
than any other which the war has call
ed forth-the note of supreme compass
sion. which makes men and woman
willing to give everything and risk
everything to help others.
The gladness and generosity with
which we respond to the Red Cross
appeal will furnish US with a conclu-
sive test of our own sincerity. There
was no Misrepresentation or exaggera-
tion in declaring during the last four
weeks that it was patriotic duty to
subscribe to the Liberty Loan. Every
dollar so subscribed will be enlisted for
national service and indirectly for the
service of mankind And the vast ma
jority of people, we are sure, were
moved to subscribe by patriotic i'm
pulses and noble ideals. Nevertheless,
they risked nothing in doing so. they
gave nothing away, except in cases
where the interest they receive from
the Liberty bonds is less than they could
have gotten elsewhere, or except where
their subscriptions involved personal
sacrifice and self.denial. Only one case
that we haye heard of involved an abb
solute gift. and that was the case of
the man who walked into a Liberty
Bond sales room and subscribed one
thousand dollars for twenty $50 bonds
to be distributed among soldiers or
their families. That was a notable
thought and notable deed that shall
be reckoned to him for righteousness in
all the days to come. He has set an
example which may be followed by
others when the Government asks for
its next loan.
Comparatively few persons can afford
to do what that man did, though thou
sands would like to do it, but we refer
to it now to point out that the Red
Cross campaign gives US all chance to
initiate, if not to equal, his generous
spirit We may not be able to give $50
to twenty soldiers or their families, but
we can give something, and something
that will count as much to the soldiers
and those dear to them as bonds. For
four weeks we have been investing in
patriotism and idealism that will pay
sure dividends of 1t per cent. in money.
What you subscribe to the Red Cross
will not pay you cent in money, and
you ought to thank God that it will not.
1t will pay you something better than
any money ever coined or struck off at
treasures. 1t will set
down against your bad deeds a Red
Cross mark of love that may help to
give you peace at the last.
In the last analysis this war is due to
human selfishness. The Red Cross rep
resents war against the effects of this
against the results of
war, and war indirectly against the
spirit responsible for all the ills which
degrade and deform human nature. 1t
is holy war against the he'll Tower
there; it is holy war against the sec
ton of hell which still holds the trenches
in our hearts over here. Let US give
our share Of this fund quickly and joy
fully. 1t will make US feel that we are
really OF some use to the world.

The above citizens were the choice of the voters at the municipal cleo tion held yesterday, the entire Cor dova ticket being elected. Although the day was one of the stormiest of the season there was an unsuully large vote boiled. Out of a registra- tion of 356 there were 2SS ballots cast, and as a number of those who had registered left town to work at the clam and salmon plants there were comparatively few who failed to exercise their right of franchise
 For councilmen there was the Cor dova ticket and pr. w. H. Chase and E. L. Harwood, who ran as independ- ent candidates. The latter two failed to be elected, each receiving 135 votes. For clerk of the school board Calvin Hazelet defeated Clifford Phil lips by a vote of 191 to 83.
 The voters showed their approval of the action of the city council in granting an ordinance to the Cordova Power Company for a franchise toI conduct steam heating plant in Cor dova, by a vote of IA to 32.
 
 In the councilmanic fight there were all sorts of combination tickets voted, but the fact that sixty-twoI straight ballots were cast for the Cor dova ticket accounts for it's success at the polls.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR Mr..
HENRY FLOYD.


Solemn and impressive indeed
were the funeral services held over
the remains of Mr.. Henry Floyd who
died at his home last week. The
services were held from the New
Hope Baptist Church in South Nash
vile with Revs. j. C. Harding, ]. l..
Harding and A. L. Whitaker offieiat-
ing. Special music was rendered by
the choir.
Up to several weeks before his
death Mr.. Floyd was valuable en-
ployee Of the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board of the National Baptist
Convention (unincorporated) of which
DR.. r. H. Boyd, d. D., is Secretary
and enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of fellow craftsmen. He left the
employ of the institution where he
had labored for so many years and
went to work at the great powder
plant that the Government is building
at Hadleys Bend. He was thus EN-
ployed when he was taken i'll. Every
thing possible was done for his relief
and to make recovery possible, but
he answered the great call leaving to
mourn his loss a mother, whose only
child he was, a wife, two children
and a host of relatives and friends.
The floral offerings covering his
bier were many. The employees OF
] the press room of the institution
where he labored attended the funeral
in a body. Interment was at Green
wood Taylor and Co, were il
charge.

and spoke at Emery Auditorium to
twenty-five hundred people.
The frankness with which the Sec

who were dubious about the real
authority with which the Secretary
would be permitted to perform his
duties. There is no doubt but that
Secretary Scott is doing things and
is leaving no stone unturned for the
benefit of our boys. He is not at all
timid about bringing any measure up
before the seceral departments at
Washington where complaint has
reached him that our boys are being
neglected or mistreated. A banquet
largely attended was served at the Y

UNION TWICE VICTORIOUS OVER
WHEREFORE.
BY T. p. Turner, Jr.

Once more has Virginia Union
University been accredited with the
successful elimination Of paradox
cal feat in the forensic world. In
the Joint debate with Wilberforce
University, Unions affirmative team
composed Of Messrs. R. P. McGuinn
and D. Webster Davis, in Richmond,
maintained that Compulsory Militia
ry Training Should Be Adopted as a
Permanent Policy by the United
States" At the same time, on Will
berforce campus, the negative COM
bination, Messrs W. A. Young and H.
S. Brown, triumphantly established
that Compulsory Military Training
was dangerous hoax.
This double victory is the cross
La Guerre for Union. Howard, Lin
coin and Shaw have .succumbed time
after time to mightier masters of ar
gumentation from the red and steel
machines. Last year Wilberforce
succeeded in tying her Virginian adj
versary, but last Friday nights COM
plete victory for the Richmond boys
sends Union over the top in inter-
COLLEGIATE debates.
Union for years has been recog-
nized as king of the debating world
by virtue of her many victories over
the leading colleges. Her silver
tongued orators are the peer of any
turned out from the foremost uniyer-
stiles and colleges.

CAPT. BOUTTE VISITS NASH
WILLIE.

An interesting visitor in the city
last week was Capt. NJ. V. Boutte,
who spent few hours here before
returning to his post at one Of the
government training camps. Capt.
Boutte will be remembered as DR..
Boutte, the proprietor of thre North
side Pharmacy on Jefferson where he
and Mrs. Boutte endeared themselves
to host of friends and acquaintance
Mrs. Boutte was considered one of
the foremost educators in the south,
being for a number Of years teacher
of French at Fisk University and
principal of one of the departments
at the A. and I. State Normal when
that famous institution was opened
Dr. Boutte was one of the first
men to answer the call of the gov
eminent and entes the officers train
ing camp at Des Moines, la. He won
the rank of Captain and since that
time has. been stationed at Rock
ford, ILL.,, where the government has
one fits most efficient training
camps for recruits. Mrs. Boutte
joined her husband some time last
fall.

FIFTlETH ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE PRINCIPAL,
Presented to the Hampton Institute
Board Of Trustees on Saturday,
May II, by Or. George p.
Phenix, Vice Principal.

Hampton, Va, Mayor. George P.
Phenix, vice principal of Hampton In
stitute since 1908, in his report TO the
Board of Trustees, discussed the
schools work since the death of DR..
Hollis B. Frissell and reviewed the
growth of Hampton during fifty
years. He said:
General Armstrong had to justify
his new project in the eyes Of three
groups of people: The Negro race,
who would supply the student body;
the white North, who alone OF all
the people OF the country were able
to finance the venture; and the white
South, who were sceptical as to the
valIe OF any kind OF education for
Negroes"
The average annual enrolment at
Han pton has been as follows: First
decade, 220; second, $50; thi. d, Gel;
fourth, 1866; and fifth, S7S. TIL, Sc
figures do not include Hamptons
neighborhooi or the summer school
DR.. fheniX said:
THAT the people of the North have
believed in the type Of training for
which Hampton stands is proved by
the generous manner in which they
have supported it. The same friends
who have contributed to current ex-
penses have created an endowment
lund to assure the permanency OF the
school
"The sympathy of the white South
with hampton's work is absolutely es-
sential Sympathy has grown with
understanding, and the school today
enumerates among its most loyal
friends Southern men and women OF
influence and prominence.
The financial aid which the Slater
Fund. the General Education Board,
and the Jeanes Fund have contributed
for Negro schools in Southern COM
munities has done much to acquaint
Southern people-especially school
men--with this type of education,
which was literally new not so long
| ago.
THE interest of the white South
in Negro schools is growing every
year. Indeed, all things considered,
it has grown in the past as rapidly
as could reasonably be expected
There are many difficulties which
persons living outside the South can
not comprehend but these are con
stantly growing less and will some
day cease to exist.
1.-The close of the first half-century
OF Hampton's history finds the rela
ton between the races in the South
the progress of Negro education, and
the school itself, in condition which
the most extreme optimist of fifty
years ago could hardly have dared tc
hope for, and there is every reason
for facing the second half-century
with faith and courage.
Generations of children yet unborn
will have better chance in life with
out knowing to whom they are in
debted, because of the life and worl
of Hampton's late Principal, DR.. Hol
lis B. Frissell."
DR.. Phenix also referred to the
educational value of good buildings
increasing costs in the boarding de
partments; the loyalty of Hampton!
friends; the schools excellent healtl
record; Hampton Institute war activi
ties and honor roll; the Negro and thu
World War; and evolution of thu
Hampton courses of study.o

BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS.
BY Albion L. Holsey.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-From
time to time we have referred in
these articles to the fact that ad-
vertisers and merchants generally
are becoming more and more appre-
ciative of the value and importance
| of Negro patronage. Such evidences
of appreciation manifest themselves
| in various ways, but they all mean
for Negro newspapers more and more
advertising and they mean for the
| business men of our race more and
more attention to advertising and
selling methods, such as are en-
ployed by business houses of other
races, so that they may always be
assured of their portion of the Negro
patronage.
Pride of race alone will not always
compel our people to trade with one
another. After all, it is question
OF service and prices.
A Trade publication in New York
City called "Women's Wear" recent
" published an article on the Negroes
of st. Louis. and this article con-
tains the following very significant
statement:
"HThe trade of Negroes in st. Louis
at the present time is worth while
merchants say The Negro is valued
as buying unit in department stores,
for his trade as a rule is on cash
basis. Not so long ago, the Negro
population was not particularly con-
sidered as a buying unit. What it
bought was usually very cheap, or it
did not buy at all But that time
has gone by, and today, because of
the great increase in the wages of a
iaborer, the Negroes trade must be
taken into consideration This espe-
cially applies where there is large
colored population, as there is in st.
Louis, where there are probably
$4,000 Negroes. Under present labor
conditions, the wage Garner is bring
ing big money into the home, and
where there is money for the Negro,
there will be clothes"
