Il visited the hospitals, made in
quiry as to their management, called
upon each sick Indian, inquired into
matters of sanitation, water supply
and health conditions generally.
With the exception of the epidemic
prevailing in Camp Bowie, the hos
pltal enrolment was so small as to
be very gratifying. This was not
ably true of the Indians. The diff
ference is accounted for because the
Indians come from a colder climate
than most of the white soldiers. Only
one Indian is numbered among the
dead"
Commissioner Sells is respectfully
pleased that the Indians are not seq
regated and he gives good reasons fol
his opposition to Independent Indian
units in the army. His arguments are
logical and ought to apply to all other
classes of Americans in the United
States Army. There should be no seq
regated units of colored men who are
willing to die for their country.

STILL THEY LYNCH THEM.

During a divorce trial in Goldsboro,
N. c., recently the fact was brought
that John Borden, one of the witnesses
had been married three times, had
fifteen children by his first wife who
presented him four boys at a. birth
three times; his second wife gave
birth to three boys and one girl
at one time and bore twelve
in ALL His third wife, who is still
living, bore eight making thirty-five
children in all of which he was the
proud father, the youngest being only
twenty-five months old Twentyseven
of his children are living and strangest
thing of all, fourteen of his sons are
now in the army of Uncle Sam. How
many fathers, only 81 years of age,
have such a record, or can boast of
having furnished as many sons to help
win the war? This evidence of patrio-
tism and loyalty in this one family,
ought to have some effect in stopping
the barbarities perpetrated on men of
their color that are not outdone by the
Kaiser and his cohorts.

PEOPLES PROTESTS PREVAIL

PEOPLES PROTESTS PREVAIL.
That it is not only proper and right
to protest against wrong, but that
it is the only way we can hope to
secure redress, has been exemplifed
by the action of the committee of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in call
ing upon President Wilson and pro-
testing against the lynching of Nell
heron and presenting petition
signed by twelve thousand citizens of
New York expressing the sentiments
of twelve million more of the most
loyal citizens of the United States,
asking executive clemency for the
five soldiers of the Twenty-fourth In
fantry under sentence of death for
alleged participation in the Houston
riot. The President protested ignor-
ance Of some of the matters pre-
sented and gave evidence of his dis
approval. Subsequently he indefi-
nately suspended the sentence of the
men, for which he has the thanks of
the aforesaid twelve million of his
loyal constituents. The protests of
the Association to the Governor of
Tennessee in the McIlherron case
also brought a very satisfactory re-
ply. 1t pays to protest.

CAN'T BEAT NELSON.

The Presidents counsel to Mime
sofa Democrats to join with the Re.
publ1cans in re-electing Senator Knute
Nelson is a virtue born of necessity.
The Senator had expressed a desire
to retire to private life. No Democrat
stands a ghost Of show to succeed
him. If he runs again and is elected
by both parties, the Democrats have
lost nothing. A real display of non
partisanship by Democrats would be
to abstain from contests in States
which are normally Republican, but
where there now happen to be Demo
cratic Senators by reason of the di.
vided Republican strength in 1912,
which enabled Democrats to slip into
office. When Mr.. Wilson counsels the
Democrats Of his own State of New
Jersey to make no contest for Senator
next time, he will have given convinc-
ing evidence of his real desire for non
partisanship in the elections during
the war.

groes" so the wires tell us, to have a
negro" adviser appointed to tell the
Department of Labor what ought to
be done along negro" labor lines. Sec.
rotary Wilson has announced that a
negro will not be selected as a
permanent representative but promi-
nent colored men will be consulted.
Secretary Wilson has the right idea.
No patriotic colored American wishes
a jimcrow representative. 1t would be
all right to appoint a colored man as
an assistant secretary of labor but to
appoint a negro" adviser and confine
him to jimcrow duties would be segre-
cation in it's worst form.
Negroes" who are asking for segre-
gated places in the department of the
government are doing the colored peo-
pie a great wrong. Any man who
would accept such an appointment,
would necessarily be a jimcrow man

harm in bolstering up the color line.

INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED

Substantial increases in existing
rates of pension for disablement of the
limbs from injuries received in line
of duty, are contained in a bill intro
duced by Representative George P,
barrow of Pennsylvania, which will
come up for action by the House at
the next session Of congress- Mr.. OAR
rows proposed rates run from $65 for
the loss of total disability of one hand
or one foot, to $3.50 for the loss or to-
tai disability of both arms and both
legs. They amount roughly to an in
crease OF about so per cent in the
existing rates for similar cases. The
bill is made to apply to persons al
ready on the pension rolls, and to all
who may be granted a pension here
after, but Mr.. Darrow specifically pro-
vldes that the measure shall not 3D.
crate to reduce any pension hereto

measure will be heartily approved of

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.

History gives the Indians a place
as warriors. Therefore one is not
surprised to learn that present day
Indians are becoming good soldiers
in the army of Uncle Sam.
Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian
affairs, recently made a survey of the
national environments in Texas CIV
ing particular attention to the con-
dition of the 1900 Indians who are
learning the art of war in these
camps.
II addressed the Indians co1lec-
lively at each cantonment and con-
terred with them Individually, max
ing definite inquiry concerning their
treatment" Commissioner Sells said.
Everywhere found them we'll con-

men physically, with a wonderful
spirit or patriotism.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov.
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
Is British colony and the govern.
ment Is Just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which
White men have and there is no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said ::
my study and comparison of con.
ditfons in the United States and thu
West Indies" he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. /
