NO PARTY FIGHT
THIS YEAR FOR .

Chairman E. w. Ewbank Reelected;

represented except one, the Hender-
son county democratic convention

short and appropriate speech said
that it should be the desire of the
people in2this world crisis to avoid

Americans. It's a long account and
we haven't missed any details. Rest
assured that that account will be pre-
sented to you some day for settle
ment. Major Liebster to Ameri-
can Consul A. Curtis Roth.
Now can any American have any
further doubt as to the kaiser's de-
signs, or to the methods Of collec-
ton he employs?
Having thus proved beyond the
possibility of doubt that the kaiser
is bent upon the conquest of Ameri-
ca if he can achieve it, and he col
lects the last cent of tribute at the
point of the bayonet, is there one
single reason why an American
should not offer to loan his dollars
to Uncle Sam?
If we Americans refuse to loan
our dollars to our own government
now, you can rest assured that we
will give them to the kaiser, if our
boys over there are defeated. And
defeated they will be if they are not
backed up by our money and the
food, ammunition, ships and service
our dollars will buy.
It's all very simple. You lend
today, or you pay stomorrow-pay
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, the enslaver
of free nations and free peoples.
Buy your bond, and another if
you can, and still another, if you
are able, even though you must save
and sacrifice to do it. You'll do
more than "save and sacrifice" if
the kaiser wins. Remember these
words:
eff anyone attempts to hold back
his goods from seizure by the mill
tary authorities,he will be shot.
That's how the kaiser collects!

Negroes experience great comfort
and satisfaction now that they are
daily approached with eXclamations of
surprise at the achievements, not only
of their men at the front. but of their
women who are doing their share at
home as well as in France. In justice
to all may we not call to mind that
the Negro women just now are being
given chance TO show the world
what they are capable of doing, not
because of, but IN spite of, apparently
insurmountable obstacles. BY sheer
persistence and by the fact that they
have been able to make tangible the
things they have seen in their visions
are they ready for this epoch
Besides the general educational and
religious influences that come through
living in a progressive land, 1.-The wom-
en- themselves have developed agen-
cies of their own. Whence would
their leadership among the race have
utNtlbptu llhh llOl Nht F'htl vi

give the means of expression to its
members?
Who can tell what part the thou
sands of women who have learned the
habit of saving through benefit So
cieties will play, and what they may
contribute to the development of So
cial insurance?
II the Negro nurse had not the quail

could she have been faithful and pa

Could the Negro women have had

houses. or would the same opportuni-
ties be given the Negro girl and wom-
an under the Young Women's Chris
tian Association, if they had not been
brave enough to stand together for
the same ideal for the Negro girl as
for the white?
