UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE CLERKS

Although the civilian workers in the
| national capital have increased from
10000 to nearly $4,000 in the first year
| of the war, the government still needs
specialized clerks. The United States
civil service commission announces
| that there is an urgent call for appli-
cants for the positions of stenogra-
pher, typewriter, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
er, erk-bookkeeper, cost accountant,
accounting and statistical clerk, sta
tistician, clerk qualified in accounting,
clerk qualified in business administra-
ton, index and catalogue clerk, sched-
ule clerk, passenger rate clerk, blue
print file clerk and assistant to bust
ness manager. These positions are
open to both men and women.
Representatives of the civil service
commission at the pOstofices in all
cities are prepared to furnish definite
information and application blanks.
According to the civil service COM
mission, the full extent to which the
specialized clerk is needed is perhaps
not generally understood, and it is in
this class of work that women have
the best opportunity to be of real serv-
ice to the government at this time.
eighteen thousand stenographers and
typ1sts are at work constantly in the
government offices at Washington, D.
c., on the tons Of correspondence and
records made necessary by war prep
arat1ons on scale such as the world
mas never known before.

\TIOu Iuc DOSIOu UudI uAduJ
June 21st to 10th, 1918 are now
historic dates in colored American
history. They mark the approach OF
colored Americans to their federal
government in behalf of justice and
liberty for their racial group.
These eight days with a Sabbath day
thrown in, witnessed the gathering
together in the nations capital of
delegates from all sections of the
country in the midst of a worlds war
to formulate and present to the fed
eral Congress a statement of the
grievous wrongs visited upon their
race and a demand for redress.
Meeting under purposeful ques-
tionings of loyalty, and in spite of a
Jewish-American majors attempt
through the War Department to
thwart this race convention, yet
there was no wavering among these
delegates. They came for share
for their race of the world democracy
which their country's president pro-
claimed as the flower of their race,
was sent into battle in another hem
isphere, and they never faltered. Day
after day the delegates met in two
executive sessions without a. dissent
from the announced purpose of the
call. Firm in the conviction that
they were true to the real patriotism

share in the Rights of Man. While
the Revolutionary patriots met tt
Initiate war, those race patriots me-
at the seat of Government when the
country was in a mighty world wal
and without equivocation set forth
the denials to their racial element OF
those rights of democracy to spread
which their country was avowedly
taking part in world war.

rice w. Spencer, local chairman, the
first night, which echoed and re-
echoed in every speech and in the
petition, was that when the U. S. A.
was proclaiming world-democracy as
it's purpose in world war, all race
and color discrimination in federal
departments, in public places in the
national capitol, in government
schools, in public carriers under GOV
eminent control, in the election of
federal officials should be abolished
by congress, which should also make

prescription, they notified the Chief
Executive by sending a written re-

Then they notified the heads of both
houses of Congress by sending dele
cations to the Speaker of one and the
President of the other to ask for a.
joint session. And in Speaker Clark
they found a. responsive hearer

could not be secured. They further
sought the advisement of the govern

Congress to address this Liberty Con-
gress.
Congressman Martin B. Madden of
Illinois and l.. G. Dyer, of Missouri,

THE SECOND DECLARATION OF independence

Washington, D. c., July, 1918. A
second Declaration of independence
was enunciated and entered in the
records of the U. S. Congress at the
end of last week. This is the con-
sensus of opinion among thoughtful
Washingtonians who heard the petit
ton to- the Government read at the
closing one of the five public mass
meetings of the National Colored Lib
erty Congress or who have read the
document as printed in the Congress
sional Record of June goth.
Like the first Declaration, this one
was the creation of a delegated as
,sembly, a citizens congress with
national, membership. The Liberty
Congress was composed of 115 dele
gates from 20 states and the District
of Columbia, men and women, pro-
testing injustice and tyranny, re-
spending to a call. Like the first
one this Declaration represented the
voluntary, uncompensated, sacrifice
and natural feelings and yearnings of
Americans for liberty and an equal

ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN.

Influential colored men in various
parts of the country have signed a
strong memorial to the President,
Cabinet, Congress and the Governors
of the states. We quote a portion of
it.
We are one group of American
people than whom there is none more
loyal, which is marked out for dis
elimination, humiliation and abuse.
In the great patriotic and humani-
tartan movements, in public carriers,
in Federal service the treatment &C.
corded us is humiliating, dehumaniz-
ing and reprehensib1e in the extreme.
This persistent and unreasonable
practice is but thrust at the colored
mans self respect, the object being
not merely to separate races, but to
impress us with the idea Of supposed
natural inferiority. Such demoraliz.
ing discrimination is not only g. viola.
ton of fundamental rights of citizens
Of the United States, but the persis-
tent segregation of any element of
our country's population into a sepa-
rate and distinct group on the sole
basis Of color is creating a condition
under which this nation can not long
endure.
When we reflect upon their bru
talities and indignities, we remember
they are due to the fact that in all al.
most every Southern state we have
systematically by law or chicanery
been deprived of the right that very
manhood suffrage which genuine
democracy would guarantee to every
citizen in the Republic. The propa:
ganda of filching from colored Ameri-
cans the ballot is but a supreme ef-
fort to reenslave us and to force our
assent thereto. To this policy the
colored man does not, can not and
will not agree. OF it our intolerance
is cumulative. Against it, we shall
exert our righteous efforts until not
only every eligible colored man, but
every eligible colored woman shall be
welding the ballot proudly in defense
Of our homes.
We are appealing to you neither as
vassals or interiors. Bull Run and
Appomattox fixed our status in this
nation. We are free men. We are
sovereign American citizens # free
men who purchased our freedom with
our own blood on every battle field
from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, full
rights and immunities such as are
freely granted to others but syste-
matically refused to us.

Boston Transcript Commits Treason
in Preferring Ruin of France
Rather Than Mixture of Blood
of CoIored Races Fighting
for Her.
(BOstOn Transcript.)


However, Tommy Atkins may to a
considerable extent be inclined to set
tie in France. So, very likely, would
be the whole body of the Portuguese
troops who are fighting there, and the
Italians. Thousands at the Chinese
laborers may stay, and so may the
black soldiers from Senegambia and
other African French colonies. I'm
fortunately the Incorporation of most
of these elements into the future
French population would represent
mongrelization and degeneration.
France would do better, in the long
run, to send them home, for the i'm
mediate economic or Industrial ad-
vantage of their immigration would
be more than counterbalanced by the
disadvantage of the mixture. France
amalgamates all racial elements that
enter her gates. Her best hope for
her Topographic future rests on such
a strengthening of her economic, So
clal and moral bases as would result
in normal increase Of the native
population, and a steady immigration
OF enterprising young people from
Northern Europe, or of sturdy Span
lsh or Ligurian peasants. If the blood
OF the French nation should be
Africanized or Asiaticized as the re.
suit OF the war the country's eventual
caIamities from that source would be
greater than those resulting from the
destruction of her cities and the raw
age Of her fields.

INSTRUMENTATION.

The basic need in America at this
moment, and for many years to come
Is the fusion of our heterogeneous
population into an American entity
II we fought civil war to prevent
geographical division, we should find
1t worth while now to make soma
uenoefate and mighty effort to pre-
'en' a more 1nsidious and fatal d.
vision. This effort should not be-
spasmodtc and sporadic. It should be
constant.
Ihe foregoing from the CHICAGO
tribune hits the nail on the head
AND 1t is especially necessary for
the colored people to stop trying to
sesregate. The colored person who
advocates 5imcrowism in church or
state Is an enemy of the Nation
