wont let this Tippah County matter
rest The further you get from
Tippah County you will meet political
seers who pretend to know more about
Tippah County than The Citizens who
dwell there. There is q well discerned
effort to make political capital out OF
this unfortunate occurrence. Papers
in and out of the state, have taken pot
shots at the affair and the information
they give or idea they suggest, are all
of the same hue. Their are some pub
lieations now abuseing the editor OF
the Ripley Sentinel who wont display
in their columns, a copy of their bal
lot for United States Senator In the
next primary.
Tippah County is not the only
county in the state who has dealt with
deserters- Mississippi is not the only
state that has had to deal with the
trouble. In our county and others
that We know of. The Sheriff,
Deputy Marshalls or even the con-
stables have attended to the matter
without complications. We notice
considerable activity thru the ordinary
civil official channels in a nearby
state and it does seem to Us that this
course would have been equally as
efficient in Tippah county.
Some of the critics, who are now en-
joying themselves at the expense of
the Ripley Editor owe their political
existence to a well defined political
issue in Mississippi which they have
now deserted, and now that they are
on the other side, the sermon on the
mount wont be safe from criticism of
political capital is necessary.

EAKER STREET NOTES.

AS we go to press the outlook is
not very favorable for holding sery-
ices at the church Sunday. We there
| fore make an urgent appeal to all
the members to show their church
loyalty by responding literally when
some member of the committee calls
at your home armed with the proper
credentials to collect. Our note Of
one thousand dollars on the lot on
Firth street is now due, and we need
about three hundred dollars yet to
make the payment. The running ex-
penses Of the church must be kept
up, as we do not care to 20 in debt
again, having cancelled all our old
debts. The persons selected to col
iect viii have church envelopes for
the current expenses, and paper
signed by the chairman, treasurer and
secretary Of the board, and the pas
tors signature. Let us do our duty
and thereby show our loyalty to the
cause we represent. If for any I'M
forseen reason one of the collectors
does not reach you, you can leave
whatver amount you care to give at
The Forum office. Thanking you in
advance, and praying that Gods
blessings may rest upon you, we are
looking for hearty response.

ABSENTEE HABIT IN
THE STATE HOUSE

One Of the most common remarks
during this administration of Gov
ernor Cox has been concerning the
absence Of state officials complaint
of visitors to Columbus that on a visit
to half a dozen commissions they
will fail to find any of the officials they
seek. This complaint has been re-
peatadly voiced in the public press,
The daily working hours In numer-
Gus state departmentsail shorter
than those In private employment
have been even further shortened
during the Cox administration. one
department closes It's business at
$40 III the afternoon. Many OF them
close at 4 to 4::30. or course, the
shorter the hours the more employees
required TO take care of the work.
and the larger number of places Gov.
ernor Cox has to bestow. Even the
governor, himself In the midst Of
war, has found time to Journey out
OF the state To take part In partisan

To the Editor Of the Herald: !:

To the Editor Of the Herald:
Much has been said and written
about the Negro and the War, but Sd
far as our local papers are concerned
the news which has come through the
Associated Press to the colored people
has been far from gratifying. A bit
Of left handed praise so as to speak
lnterspersed with jokes, which arc in
no measure true of the Negro today.
Jokes, which are generalized human
traits, rather than racial traits,
The ten million of Negroes, who
have given over 100000 black sons To
the cause of Democracy, want facts
about their valiant soldiers, not jokes
tools, which serve, not only to de-
preciate the yalor and integrity Of the
Negro soldier, but in a measure, place
the whole race in a false light.
Harrison Rhodes in the October
Metropolitan, has in an excellent and
unprejudiced manner, depicted the
real attitude Of the Negro III the war.
In part he says: Treating the coll
ored soldier in a humorous way has
reused among the Negroes generally
very genuine indignation. They
want their soldering to be taken seri-
ously and they are undoubtedly over
sensitive about the matter, vet It Is
unquestionably true that being a good
soldier IS serious thing"
And they ARE good soldiers. The
government has made it possible il
this war, as never before, for the Ne
gro to prove to the world that he
can, both lead and follow in battle.
He follows and fights valiantly. What
greater qualities can the soldier
have?
Almost at the outset Of Americas
lighting on the western front. there
came home the stirring tale Of two
black heroes Needham Roberts and
Harry Johnson, who, though wounded
beat off raiding party Of twenty five
Germans, killing or woundinc five Of
them. These men were cited to re-
ceive the wonderful Croix de Guerre
and it would not be possible to better
the simple description of them in the
final phrase Of the French text Of ci-
tation- good brave soldiers,
"The colored people believe in the
colored troops. They truly believe
that when enough Negroes are in the
fighting line, the war will be over.
1t may be untutored and naive, but
It is such beliefs that win wars, such
passionate faith behind the lads ii
khaki, that drives them forward, ir-
resistibly. It's very simplicity saves
It from being braggadacio and makes
it instead, home fire burning as ali
such fires should.
Az the front IN France is the Ne
groe's real test as an American ia The
year 1918. Here he, as well as other
races, not Of the old American stock,
hopes to fusa into the aew Amsriras-
,syre.-- srsFss -sssss--~ -i

Liberty Loan Keynotes
By Ex-Governor Willis

This is peoples war the peo-
pie must finance it. DO your part and
buy more Liberty bonds than you
thought you could. ]"
While it will cost much to win the
war 1t would cost more to lose it.
1t is cheaper to buy Liberty bonds
than to wear the kaiser s.
"Our boys over there are lighting
civilizations battle, they must be
equipped and sustained and they are
sure to win Buy Liberty bonds to
the limit and share In the victory"

ism, which embraces all. Here on this
old and SCARED soil, the Negro hopes,
not only to receive the cross from
France, but from America. his own
America, as he feels it, the even
greater prize, American citizenship IN
d broader. deeper sense than ever be-
fore.
The French are highly appreeiative
Of the Negro soldiers and it Is time
for the white race Of America to
change its mental attitude towards the
Negro, view him In true and serious
light and value him, according to the
hard-earned and worthy position he
has achieved and not according to
prejudiced opinions.
