For years as editor of either this or some
other weekly paper we have protested against
the daily papers quoting even we'll educated
colored men in plantation jargon, but comes
now Lieutenant Charles S. Parker Of the
t. S. Army, who is in France, in a letter
to some one in Seattle, which is published
in the P. /. under glaring headlines and
winds up quoting "private buck" from
Alabama in the most humiliating anti-bel-
lum jargon. Be it remembered that Lieu
tenant Parker was at one time one of Wash
ington's foremost colored citizens and has
protested to the daily press Of Spokane just
as persistently as we have against putting
such jargon in the mouths of colored men.
We are of the opinion that the very next
time colored person goes to the daily
press of Seattle to protest against jargonizing
the words of colored persons appearing in
print he or she will be told we are doing no
more in that direction than your leading
colored men and the interview will end
with "Clean up your own house before
telling us to clean up ours"

Lytwayt, the butcher, had been very busy
for few moments with well-worn diction-
airy. Suddenly he closed it with a snap and
gowered at his wife in the cash-desk "That
Mrs. Smart is getting too clever,' he
growled "What's the matter?" asked the
lady, surprised at this criticism of a good
customer. "When she came in just now
she told me I ought to rename my scales the
Ambuscade brand" "Well, why-?" GIVE
just looked up the word," went on the in
furiated man, land the dictionary says that
ambCscade means to lie in weight -
The sergeant-major had the reputation of
never being at loss for an answer A
young officer made bet with brother
officer that he would, in less than twenty
four hours, ask the sergeant-major a ques-
ton that would BATTLE him. The sergeant
major accompanied the young officer on his
rounds, in the course Of which the cookhouse
was inspected. Pointing to large copper of
water just commencing to boil, the officer
said: "Why does that water only boil
around the edges Of the copper and not in
the center?" "The water around the edge,
sir, replied the veteran, is for the men
on guard; they have their breakfast half
an hour before the remainder Of the COM
pany.'

Despite the fact that the men who met
at DR.. Cardwells office last Friday went
on record as opposing any collection being
taken up at any of the churches to help
defray the expenses of Delegate Carter to
the Equal Rights Conference, yet collec-
ton was lifted at the Mt. Zion Baptist
Church raising $45. All present objected
to the church collecting idea and so ex-
pressed themselves, and in appealing to the

The candestine micegenation of the white and

SO long and so persistenty that the legal and holy
miscegenation is being seriously discussed, espec-
tally among the white folk and the letter below in
the Seattle Daily Star is to the point in question.

Dear Miss Grey: I'M. W." wants to know if
Negro will show in any children he might have, in
marrying girl who is one-sxteenth Negro blood
good answer to the gentleman would be that if
he has the prejudice, his query indicates, he
had better leave the girl alone
Ten years from now, whether not his children
show the slightest resemblance to the Negro he
will remember that she is Negro, and throw it up
at her, and perhaps leave her as so many white
men do, when they marry outside the white race.
Negro blood is strong in original tendencies
because the is primitive closer to nature than
the highly trained and specialized white races.
For this reason, traits peculiarly Negro may de-
velop, even in the girl later on, after marriage,
as we'll as the children. Persons have been seen
who were, and are white Caucasian in form
and feature as any one, who showed Negro mental
traits, and any Southerner can tell you the South
is full of people who white you or I, but
who are Negro in everything else. The Negro
WILL predominant when the blood is mixed, be-
cause it is the stronger from it's proximity to pri
mitive nature. So, unless he love the girl,
regardless of her Negro ancestry and his children,
without fearing Negro appearance or traits, he is
only heaping up misery for them and himself, too
He will hate both the girl and his children by
her. unless he is broad enough to forget the mat
ter of race entirely. I know two young in
this city who don't know they are colored, fine
manly boys; some day they will marry fine women
and some day the women will find the matter out
and then look out for fireworks
Men and women of mixed Negro and Caucasian
blood are very attractive so much so that Quatre
fages the French scientist, says they superior
to the full-blooded white in personal charm. 1t is
a we'll known fact that their minds very act
ive Booker Washington, Fred Douglas and host
of educated Negroes in this country attest the
mentality of mixed blooded Negro men. There is
nothing to be ashamed of except in the mind of
the party himself, but he had better not do it,
and cause them and himself future misery and un-
happiness in many ways.

Or war saving certificates

A call for immediate enlistment was
made yesterday to the girl who wants
to De war nurse. The Red Cross is
providing for the care of wounded
American soldiers and sailors, but it
is for the care of their wives and
children that Miss Lillian Wald. head
of the Henry Street Visiting Nurse
Service, is in need of nursing help.
"Wc need many more nurses to add
to our staff, which has already been
enlarged" said Miss Wald. "The hos
pitfalls will soon be crowded with
wounded and i'll soldiers; the Red
Cross is more than busy trying to take
care of them alone. The Henry Street
Settlement, therefore, has been given
the job of nursing the families of
enlisted men in their homes, and for
that work we need women of courage
and Devotion"
More than $1,000 i'll children re-
ceived expert nursing care by the

reported; 32,753 patients were given

Sprinter and Father
In Army Are Parted

CAMP MCCLELLAN, ANNISTON, Ala,
March 10.-Although he wears a gold
medal proclamng him the champion
srrfntcr and distance runner of the 29th
Division, Private George Ramsey, of
Camden, N. j., is a disappointed young
man. SO is his father, Corporal Rich
ard Ramsey, aged torty-two, of the
111th Machine Gun battalion.
They had planned to fight their way
TO Berlin side by side but General Per-
shing's need for locomotive rcpairers
has spoiled that plan, and now while
the father remains here in command
Of a squad Of machine gunners the son.
who is twenty-five years old, is going
to France alone. Moreover the son
may remain q locomotive repaircr some
whore a long way back of the firing
line, while the corporal some time in
the future may get all the fun of
spraying lines Of Germans with streams
Of singing bullets.
Orders for young Ramsey to report
for immediate duty with the locomotive
rcpaircrs i'll France came to him just
after he had won from 200 comrades a.
three-m;lc 'cross-country race, for
which his father trained him. That

son which had survived all the recent

Hopewell, Va, an Example
The purpose to extend the work OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. in the fashion just an
nounced gained great impetus from the
experience of the association at the
mushroom war industry town of Hope
we'll, Va.
This little hamlet sprang from 8
population of 200 to a population of
4o,0OO almost overnight. In its early
Gays as munitions centre it suffered
all the disadvantages of "boom'' min
ing town. There were scores of disor-
derly resorts and the usual army of
lawless camp followers. On the sur
face. it did not seem to afford a very
good site for a Y. NJ. c. A. hut. Yet
20O men Joined the association there
during the first hour after the hut was
opened, and this membership increased
to 1000 in the first week.
The Hopewell building proved so
popular with the men that until addi-
tional buildings could be put up there
it was kept open day and night 1t
TOOK three shifts OF secretaries and
other workers to run it. If the men
wanted to see ''movles" at O'Clock IL
;he morning they saw them. 1t is 6n
thls same principle that the develop
ment OF the industrial work is bein,
planned.

In France vast number of men Of

In battle, have been aidad by the fund.
In England it has been the same, and
soon in America there will also be work
