APOLOGIST FOR SCOTT
(From the Public Ledger)

(FrOm the PuDHC IeuBer)
The logic-if there be any such
thing in it-of Bishop Berry's ex-
traordinary letter of advice to voters
appears to be that so long as a can
didate pledges himself to-day to
support the Prohibition amendment
it doesn't matter in the least what
his past record or his present quail
fications for office may be. Here
is a Christian bishop-the shepherd
of his flock-publicly advising his
pastors to rally to the support of one
John r. X. Scott, a man who, to
quote a recently published descrlp-
ton, was in his professional capacity
for years "the chief refuge of the
criminals and crooks of the under
world in Philadelphia, in escaping
the lash of justice and in preying
with immunity upon society,"" He
frankly admits that the record of
his chosen candidate makes him
Objectionable to some of our temper
ance people" and that it is mot sat
isfactory to some," but because, for
sooth, this candidate has given his
pledge to the bishop-not that he
will support the prohibition amend
ment, be it noted-but that the
amendment shall have an absolutely
square deal" in the state senate.
Bishop Berry is therefore willing to
assume the responsibility of advising
the pastors of his church to support

The Negro and the War

of that race. At least $50 Negroes
are engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in
the Army. Some of these are now
in France with the troops serving
under General Pershing.
Back of the actual fighting army
Is the army of civilians at home. The
Negroes of the country have Joined
in every activity that evinces a spirit
of patriotism. They show whole
hearted desire to take their full
share of the war load. They support
the principles which President Will
son has defined for us, and they as
sumo cheerfully the burden laid
upon the country as q whole.
The way that the colored citizen
has taken hold of the Liberty Loan
is encouraging. Five thousand Ne
groes recently attended a patriotic
meeting in a small North Carolina
town and established a record for
the quick purchase of War Savings
Stamps. This record is being du-
plicated all over the country.
The war has brought to the Negro
better chance for national self
expression than any event in his
history, and he is making the most
of his opportunity. Much of the
best talent of the race has been abb
sorbed in meeting the need caused
by speeding up war industries.
Graduates of colleges and technical
schools have found a ready field for
the use of their knowledge and
trained skill. The demand for edu-
Gated Negroes has exceeded the sup
ply.
No such impetus has ever before
been given to education for the Ne
gro. 1t is true that the illiteracy of
the race has decreased from 80 per
cent. at the close of the Civil War
to 80 per cent. to-day, but the neces-
sity of wiping cut ignorance has
been called sharply to or attention
by the demands which the war is
making upon our manpower. The
proper training Of the Negro is a
problem which concerns both races.
To leave one third of the colored
people undeveloped is failure to uti-
lie the resources of the nation
Exchange.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-05-18

TNHE colored people are rallying
to the call of patriotism all over
the country. They are giving
their sons, their money and their
energies to the task of mobilizing
the nation for the cause of democ-
racy. Fof the Negro holds his 2iti-
zenship high. The friends of the
United States are his friends. Its
foes are his foes.
The United States draws no color
line in the Army and Navy. 1t sum-
mons Negroes to arms just as it does
whites. More than 100000 men of
color registered, and already 10000
of these have been called to the
training camps to fit themselves for
service.
Thirty-six per cent. of all the Ne
groes examined were certified as
physically fit for the National Army,
a ratio higher than the whites can
show. In sixteen cantonments scat
tered throughout the northern and
southern states the dusky troops are
being prepared to meet the Hun.
In the old Regular Army of the
pre-war days were four colored regi-
ments - the Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth

proved their value in Cuba during
the Spanish-American War, just as
they did in the Indian campaigns on
the border. They are notably steady
under fire, patient to endure hard
ship, cheerful and good-natured ct
all times. And they can fight.
The War Department has organ
lied a division of colored troops,
known as the Ninety-second. TO
lead these men $50 colored officers
were commissioned after course of
training at Fort Dodge, Iowa. AL
ready number OF Negro chaplains
have been named to serve with these
and more are soon to be appointed.
Three regiments of Artillery have
been formed and o school for Signal
Corps has been organized. Howard
University, an institution for colored
people in Washington, D. c., will be
kept open this summer to supply
technical training to promising men

A HOME CANDIDATE

IN AUPHIN county will have a
J home candidate in the State
primary elections ofoneXt Tues
day in the person of Senator e. E.
Beidleman, of this city. His friends
expect he will receive an over
whelming majority in both city and
county, and doubtless he will. Sem
ator Beidleman aspires to the Lieu
tenant Governorship of the State,
which carries with it the presidency
of the Senate. For this duty he is well
qualified by both natural ability and
experience. His candidacy is especial
1y acceptable to the labor unions of
the State, due to his constant friend
illness and support of labor legisla-
tion as it has appeared from time to
time during his two terms as a men,
ber of the House, and later during
his first and second terms in the
Senate, to which he was first elected
on the Republican ticket in the siren
uous campaign of 1912, when he won
out in a hot three -cornered fight. His
reelection came with little opposi-
tion on the part of the Democrats
and none within his own party.
Genator Beidleman, if elected
Lieutenant Governor, will have a
vote in the Senate only If there be a
deadlock on any question. With re-
gard to prohibition it is only remotely
h. l, -,
deciding the fate of the resolution to
ratify the national amendment. With
respect to his attitude on this ques-
ton he has said that he will vote
dry" If majority of the candidates
for the Senate to be elected next Fall
are dry" and wet If majority
of those elected are wet" Senator
Beidleman's only opponent is Con-
gressman John r. K. Scott, who
voted against the national amend
ment when it came I'D in Congress
and who up until few days ago was
known everywhere as anything but a
friend of temperance. In addition, he
represents that faction of Philadel-
phia politicians who have been keep
ing the State in an uproar of dissen-
sion and who are largely responsible
for the quarreling and pickering that
have disgraced the Commonwealth
for the past few years. AS between
Scott and Beidleman there should be
little hesitation in voting for the
Dauphin county Senator, who is a
man of spotless character and unin.
peachable honesty.

Debate in Deutschland

1t is not all clear Sailing in Ger

following, between the lines of which

of the clever camouflage under
which it shelters:

in a corner of the shelter, waiting in
one accord for peace. And time and
again recurred the subject of-the

of dignity his graying full beard, and
said:

necessity. Entirely simple. We
must hold out"
A younger companion fUrrowed

and replied:

the contrary, it was a chance catas-

putabIe elements"

PRESIDENT VOTES "WET''

IN EMOCRATIC newspapers in
J Pennsylvania which are making
at least a pretence of supporting
dry candidates for State office are
in most embarrassing position.
They are crying with a loud voice
for the popular ratification of the ma
tional prohibition amendment, re-
gardless of the fact that the people
of the United States, through Con-
gress, already have spoken on that
subject. They have given President
Wilson power to eradicate the drink
evil at least for the period of the
war. All the President has to do is
TO write a brief note expressing the
belief that rum and war do not
mix, and every grogshop in the
country would have to close. A law
passed last year gives him that
power.
But the President, by his silence,
votes wet"
There is very real need for pro-
hibition in this country. Only bone
dry candidates for the Legislature
should be nominated on Tuesday. We
should by our votes do what the
president, for some ununderstand-
able reason. will not do.
Perhaps If all of the Democratic
newspapers of the country demanded
of the President that he make the
country dry he would do so. But
not one of them has the temerity to
suggest it. in Harrisburg, for ex-
