also feels that failure to recognize
and announce the achieving of their
freedom as one of the objects of the
war amounts to a betrayal of demo-
cracy. Perhaps this is true.
In the United States there are ten
million men, women and children in
the same position as the second type
of group mentioned above. Their
racial identity makes them an homo
geneous group, and being vastly in
the minority, they are subject to the
will and caprice of the majority. The
majority has never hesitated to i'm
pose its will upon them, and in ways
which a real democracy would never
tolerate. Those ten millions have
never had the pleasure of experience
ing the fruits of democracy, having
always been given to understand that
they lie outside the pail of demo
cratic rights and privileges. Never.
theless they are loyal and patriotic
and have already sent nearly one
hundred thousand of their sons to
help fight the fight OF democracy.
They are not criticising the President
at all, for they believe that the Presi-
dent means what he says; and that
making the world safe for democracy
does not mean democracy only for
some men, but for ALL men. We be.
lieye also that Mr.. Roosevelt will
soon turn his attention to this phase
of international ethics, as he is GER
tainly as interested in citizens of the
United States as he is groups beyond
the Atlantic ocean,. No one knows
better than Mr.. Roosevelt that no
nation can seriously claim to be war.
ring for democracy whilst maintaining
a system of racial caste within its
own boundaries. The hypocracy of
that position will, no doubt, strike a
man of Mr.. R~oosevelt's temperament
with force, and we may expect soon
to hear him speak out. We believe
States will at the proper time give
us an earnest of the profound SINGER,

April, and will in some conspicuous
manner silence for all time the crit.

espionage for the Enemy; in fact, the
cause of World Democracy is just as
safe with us as it is with any other
American Group, and sometimes the
safest. This, in spite of the oppres-
sive measures directed against us as
if calculated to ALLEVIATE the affection
and loyalty of this people. Our SEN
sitiveness to wrong is less expressed
in active resentment than any other
class.
This being true, then surely we may
sorrow over events that affect us so
vitality in heart and soul. Surely we
may shed a tear without involving
ourselves in "Lese Majestic" Surely
we may call in Our Neighbors and
mingle our sorrows with one an an
other without the fear of being hung
or shot, and like the Child who re-
ceiyes a whipping and is forbidden to
cry; surely this will not be visited
upon us. This would be the 'unkind-
est cut of ALL" This Government, in
it's new spirit of Democracy cannot
ask more than intelligent allegiance
to it's Constitution on the part of its
citizens and it ceases to be a Democ-
racy if it demands slavish acquies-
cence to the possible bad working of
any of it's functional machinery. Ne
groes are waking to the probability
that after all this so-called New De-
mocracy may bring him a remedy for
certain ills. This hope, however dis.
tant, will give a certain stimulation
to his efforts in War. The thought
will at least aid him in holding on
to his patience.
Finally the Negro has a compact
with Heaven never to relinquish his
fight for Truth and Right. That
though he uses this patience under
trial and oppression, he will never fail
to look up; to look above everything
that evil, Mortal men may do to him
and at the same time actually fight
for that which is his Divine Right,
namely, Liberty and Freedom at
Home! Liberty, to be a Man with
a Heart for the Good things of Life
and Freedom for the soul that aspires
to the best. This is the Truth. You
know it, Mr.. Reader, as well as l.

THE BEGINNING OF DEMOCRACY.
Paper No. e.
By William E. Griffin.

President Wilson is undoubtedly the
greatest phrase-maker who ever &C.
cupied the White House. His rhetoric
is elaborate and impressive, His ad-
dress before Congress last April, ask
ing that the United States declare war
on Germany, must ever remain as an
English classic. His lofty declaration
that the United States must make the
world safe for democracy was Won
derfully heartening to all oppressed
groups. There are ten million citizens
of this country who were not only
impressed, but literally stood amazed.
The spectacle of the United States
fighting for democracy is we'll capable
of arresting the attention and of
creating establishment and interest.
Thereby hangs a tale.
Now comes one Theodore Roosevelt,
perhaps the worlds greatest publicist,
who says that the President has be-
trayed democracy by not living up
to the masterful phraseology of last
April. Thereby hangs another tale.
Mr.. Roosevelt's arrangement is based
on the fact that the President has as
yet offered no constructive program
looking toward the political enfran-
chisement of certain oppressed Europ-
can groups. Those groups are of two
types: % Those who have a country
and government of thtir own, and are
under the domination, surveillance
and control of the Great Powers; (2)
those who constitute the minority
among the heterogeneous populations
of the greater states. Those groups
are subject to the will and caprice
of the majority. Mr.. Roosevelt feels
that If the wal does not result in the
complete freedom Of those groups, II
will have been fought in vain. He
