g We would gladly furnish every household in Waterfowl with y
s. a free copy Of this edition if conditions justified it. y
" But we have promised the War Industries Board that we wills
y not unnecessarily waste paper-that is to say, that we will CO. y

y The War Industries Board has ruled that no free sample y

y propose to live up to our promises to the gentlemen composing s.
n this board. y
* There are four methods, therefore, by which one may secure IS
y a copy Of this paper. !.

$ 2 By buying it of a newsboy or a ~newsdealer. .
n 3. By borrowing it from a neighbor. -
y 4. By stealing it. s.
$ The first mentioned method is the true policy if one wants y
s the paper regularly. ....@
IS The second method is entirely feasible and proper if one *
Il wishes only an occasional copy. y
= The third is honorable and proper if the neighbor has no y

Judge Beverly Y. Crump of the
Law and Equity Court OF Richmond
Va, performed just and gracious
act last Monday afternoon when he
signed n decree declaring a dividend
of twenty-five per cent, to the
depositors OF the defunct Say
ings Bank of the Grand Fountain,
United Order OF True Rcformers and
directing that ($35, 0OO) thirty-five
thousand dollars Of the fund amount
ing to about ($71,ooC) seventy-one
thousand dollars be transferred from
the Virginia Trust Company, a white
institution to the Mechanics Savings
Bank of Richmond, Va, colorcd in
stitution for distribution among the
depositors entitled to receive the
money. Phil. B. SHIELD, Esq, one OF
the most experienced legal luminarics
in the State has been designated by
His Honor as q Special Commission
er to distribute the fund This informa
ton will be hailed with JOY by those
depositors who have waited all Of
these years for such contamination
of their hopes.
The action Of His Honor Judge
Crump, in commencing and in select
ing a colored institution for tho dis
tribution Of this fund shows that the
bond of union between the better
class of white people and the better
class Of colored ones is growing
stronger all the time. Despite the
statements OF the pessimists, condi-
tons for us are growing better in
the Southland and the outlook for the
continued material prosperity Of our
beloved section is increasing as the
years go by. The True Reformers
Bank, the pioneer institution is dead,
but two others are here to take its
place The recognition accorded us
by the able presiding genius Of the
Law and Equity Court is certainly
appreciated by the colored people Of
the country. - y

The result of the election last Tues.
day emphasized the fact that Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson made mis-
take when he forced the issue that
the failure to return Democratic
House Of Representatives to the Nat
ional Capital would mean n rcputlia-
ton Of himself and his administra-
lion. The people Of the United States
evidently did not have such an idea
in their hands but they had dccid-
ed to make n change in the popular
branch OF the government and they
went ahead to- complete the job
There has been such Il disposition
OIL the part of somo of President viii
sons supporters to hide behind the
executive ermine Of the President Of
thc nation that the people have be
come tired of the deception practiced.
With u Republican Congress in full
sway, disclosures will he made that
President Wilson no doubt will not
have suspected existed. We must adj
nit that the stupendous upheavnl in
the country has been surprise to
us, but we believe that it will all
prove to be n God-scnt blessing to
the nation. a.

lined by the Allies or shall she go
further with the war and fare worse?
1t will probably remain Il mystery us
TO how four nations could defy TWEEN
ty-two nations and continue the strug-
gle successfully for four years.
At its conclusion, they sti'l occupied
tho territory OF some of tn, Allied
nations. 1t has never been Il ,rious
question as to the final outcome Of the
war, after the United States OF
America entered the contest. III tho
conclusion Austria-IIungary who
was the cause Of all the trouble has
been forced to desert her powerful
northern ally. Great Britain and
France emerge the victors after q
death-dealing contest. In the langu-
age of the Duke of Wellington, they
may we'll eXclaim. Another such vic
tory and l am undone!"
This country chose wisely in tho
contest and the indications are that
it will take the lead III the contest
for the commercial supremacy in the
world. Germany has stacked every
thing on the result Of the contest and
she has lost. The war has been
Godscnt blessing to the colorcd peo-
pie Of this country. 1t has given
them an opportunity to prove to
the white men Of this country In gen
eral and TO the white men Of the
South in particular that they can be
relied upon in any emergency. The
exploits Of the colored troops form a
bright page Of the nations history.
One thing has been demonstrated
and that is that great right principles
are eternal and that wrong flourishes
only for little while.
