OUR cOLORED TROOPS,

Had it occurred to you, the univer-

Have you ever met colored man in
this country who was a. pro-German?
Do you even know anyone who thinks
he has actually seen one? I have

South, in New England, on the Pacific

conviction There amt no such ami

OTHER ISSUES LIBERTY

The privilege of conversion which
arose in consequence of the issue of
4A% bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan will expire on November 9th

OF conversion but proceed to do so
promptly. Delay will result in over
burdening the banking institutions of

A GENTLE REMINDER.
Of the Patriotic Duty the Colored
Voters Should Perform.

Tuesday, Nov. 9Th ELECTION Day.,
will give the we'll thinking colored
men of st. Paul another chance to
display their patriotism in the battle
for universal Democracy, in that they
may, and most assuredly will, cast
their votes for one Of the best known
apostles of true and practical free
dom of all forever" And that indi-
vidual is Mr.. George J. Ries, who is a
candidate for reelection as County
Auditor Of Ramsey county.
Our united vote for. Mr.. Ries con-
stitutes an important and necessary
step in our progress toward political
freedom. First because Mr.. Ries has
proven himself we'll qualified for the
position which he now holds and Sec
ondly, because he selects for his as
sistants and clerks, men of ability re-
CARELESS of race, creed or color.
For some years past, Mr. Orrington
c. Hall, who recently left for overseas
service as Y. M. C. A. secretary, had
been employed as clerk in the
County Auditors office under Mr..
Ries. Prior to his departure Mr.. Ries
requested that another colored man
be recommended for the position, with
o--O
like Mr.. Hall, must be recommended
for his ability rather than for his pop
ularity. It so happened that the man
selected was man Of popularity as
well as of ability and so, true to his
word, MIR. Ries Immediately appointed
Mr.. Ira S. Ashe, 325 Rondo street, a
man we'll known for integrity, prof.
cheney and thrift.
II we as a people have not the firms,
corporations or departmental super
vision whereby we may award to our
proficient men and women positions
of merit and Importance, let us at
least show our loyal appreciation for
the men or firms who overlook the
color line and do for our deserving
men and women, that which we can
not do for ourselves
Mr.. Ries is one of the deserving and
precious few and our votes should be
cast solid and in full for his reelection
as County Auditor.

Episcopal Church of Cambridge, con-
Quoted the service with the Episco-
pal ritual "Crossing the Bar" and
Fear Ye Not, o Israeli" from eli
Jah" were sung by Harry Delmore,
tenor. The grey casket was banked
with a pr0fusion of beautiful floral
tributes, one from the Boston Liter
airy Association, another from the men
of the Parker House.
The honorary pallbearers were Will
liam D. Brigham, E. T. Morris, G.. H.

DR.. A. P. Russell and DR.. H. w. Ross.
There was a large attendance of
friends. 1nterment was at Fairview
cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. -Trotter
left to mourn her loss her mother,
Mrs. Mary Pindell; sister, Miss Ger
trude Pindell; foster brother, and
her husband.
Geraldine Louise Trotter was born
in Boston, Oct 3, 1872, the daug hter

Her chief life work was associate
manager of the Boston Guardian, an
organ for equal rights for colored
Americans, published by Mr.. Trotter.
But she engaged in much public
spirited work. She secured pardons
for several colored inmates of the
State prison, notably the late William
E. Hill, who had been there more than
40 years. She was executive chair
man of the Boston Literary Associa-
ton, arranging the loving cup presen-
tation to Moorf1eld Storey in Faneuil
Hall. She organized a women's anti
1ynching committee, and was mem
Der Of the Equal Rights League.
Her chief activities recently were
for the colored soldiers. She pre-
scented the national colors to the 519th
Engineers at Camp Devens in behalf
Of the State. Organized the God
mothers Association to this, the only
colored unit, which went overseas
from Massachusetts, and began or
ganizing with "circle of cheer at
Newburyport. She was a member of
the Soldiers Comfort Unit and Sunday
hostess at its War Service center.
Her last act was to sena fruit to the
colored soldiers at Camp Devens who
were i'll with influenza. She was a
communicate of st. Mary's Episcopal
Church in Dorchester. Few colored
people here were better known. She
was an able newspaper woman and
ready public speaker.

Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on 4 recent editorial discour-
aging the use of the word Negro"
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
ize that it is the most potential fac

about both a physical and mental

use ID on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
Do Bots and Washington feel that its
repetition, I'D nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses. The
term Negro" is not only absurdly in
accurate as applied to millions of COL
ored people, but it is also alarmingly
injurious, for the following reasons:
a. It has never stood historically or
in the present, anywhere in the world,
for anything noble or uplifting. Most
high-grade Africans repudiAte it.
b. In Africa and out Of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas,- Sudanese and Senegam-
bans only.
c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," NE
grofy," and it's compounds, Negro
head, Negro-dy, Negro-monkey, are all
clearly in their associations, degrad-
ing.
d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is
justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, if you favor the use OF tho mas
culine term.

Southern whites for two centuries.

about an unworthy or criminal man

At last we entered the war What
then of the colored man? When vol
untary enlistment was offered, he re-
sponded promptly and in large num-
bers. During the Civil War, it was
no infrequent part of a northern gen.
