NATIONAL BAPTIST
THEOLOGICAL AND
TRAINING SCHOOL

The Woman's Missionary Baptist
City Union has adopted plans where
by they may best help foster this
great institution. One of the plans
they decided to take up first is to
have linen showers each quarterly
meeting. These donations can be
made collectively or individually.
Our first shower, January 4th eX-
ceeded our expectations as only a
few of the auxiliaries had been noti-
fed of the plan. We are now send
ing cut an appeal to all UnincOrpor-
ated Baptist women and our friends
to assist us in this our worthy effort.
Could you have heard as your cor
respondent did how graphically Rev.
Prince Condelee' of Africa related
the benighted condition of our peo-
pie in Africa, and his earnest desire
to return home and tell his mother
of Jesus. Tell his mother and his
people that there is a true God. You
would have resolved then and there,
that no sacrifice of time, talent or
money would be too great for an in
stitution that is preparing our young
ministers, that they may be capable
of carrying the gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ all over the country even
! to darkest Africa. An Institution
that is training young women for
community service that they may
rescue our girls and boys from the
/ slums.
We as Missionaries should and do
!realize if there ever was a time when
/ the gospel should be carried through
out the world, now is that time, and
/ it must be done by our young men of
! today. And as they must be fully
equipped for this great work, we
can readily see what an important
part the Training Seminary will
play towards accomplishing this de-
sired end. Having come now to the
age of woman, where we are made
comrades and cO-wOrkers with Oul
brothers, having liberties extended
us that our sisters of the past never
dreamed of, let not words but deeds
prove that we can and will qualify
Let us as Missionary women come
together as one and see to it thai
when the National Baptist TheOlogi
cal and Training Seminary throws
open it doors for students that We
will not have failed in doing. our bit
not only in linen showers but imam
cial showers also We have played
quite an important part in equip
ping one of Nashvllie's great lnsti

Henry Ford's Ambition

Mr.. Henry Ford. at the urgent re-
quest of the President" as he himself
says, has become the fusion" candidate
for United States Senator in Michigan,
and many Republicans are outraged by
what seems to them to be interference
from Washington in party politics. Mr..
Ford is technically Republican; in fact,
he is an unlimited supporter of Mr.. Will
son. A bitter political controversy is
threatened. Ex-Governor Chase S. Os-
born has issued statement attacking
both the attempt to "put Ford over" and
tord's fitness to be a candidate, saying in
the first case that the intent is to disrupt
the Republican party in Michigan and in
the other that Fords notorious record as
a pacifst before we got into the war
ought to disqualify him for the nomina-
ton.
1t is necessary to say of these issues
only that they should not be raised. And
if Mr.. Ford's candidacy is bound to raise
them, then he ought not to be a candidate.
even at the urgent request of the Presi-
dent.
We greatly admire the qualities that
have made Mr.. Ford famous and rich.
But they are not the qualities of states
manship. He is genius in quantity pro-
duetion. The war requires all of that
genius there is. Mr. Ford is making an
important, perhaps invaluable, contribu-
ton to victory in the industrial field. But
with due respect to the happy American
presumption that success in one thing
qualities a man to succeed in anything,
we cannot predict great distinction for
Mr.. Ford on the plane of craftsmanship.
his contributions to political thought
have been fatuous. His paci6sm has been
offensive.

Fusions or Fights?
{Fro,n The Ne1p York World

When the President said to Congress the
other day that politics is adjourned" i.
must have been with some mental reserva-
tions. The attempt, with his approval, by
The Democrats of Michigan to force Henry
Ford upon the Republicans as a fusion can
didate for United States Senator may not be
party politics exactly, for Mr.. Ford is a Re
publican, but it bears strong resemblance
to political strategy
Party fusions for patriotic purposes have
been suggested in states and districts where
there is prospect that, with the loyal vote
divided, candidates opposed to the war or
otherwise in sympathy with the enemy may
be elected. Michigan is not such a state.
Its normal Republican majority is large and
the Senatorial candidates thus far suggest
ed by that party answer every test of
Americanism.
Although q Republican, Mr.. Ford is
known as an ardent supporter Of the Presi-
dent and his war policies. By making
such man their candidate in state
where one of their own number has no
chanc OF election, the Democrats show an
agreeable willingness to support Republi-
can. provided they have the privilege Of
naming him.
1t is possible, however. that this clever
performance may not promote the patriotic
harmony greatly to be desired at Wash
incton. Mr.. Ford's public statement that
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

Now, in very curious way it happens
that we know of one, and possibly two,
men in the United States with incomes
exceeding sixteen millions year. 1t is
known that the profits of the Ford Com
pany have run over fifty millions q year
for the last two years or more, and Of
this Mr.. Ford has little more than half.
In something of the same way it has
been computed that Mr.. Rockefeller's
income might be nearly, if not fully, as
large. 1t is fairly certain that there are
no others in this class.
SO in an odd way the application Of
Pareto's law to the returns given out
by the Treasury receives a rough and
ready verifcation from current informa-
ton.
The total income of these 206 persons
may be roughly computed at around 450
millions. This seems like an astonishing
sum, and is calculated to make even the
Bolshevist squirm. But how does it
compare with the income of all the peo-
pie of all the United States? Professor
W. I. King and others have made some
very rough and not very satisfactory es-
Inmates as to this latter figure; but the
general consensus is that the nations
total income for 1916 was probably not
much less than thirty billions. and might
readily have been forty-fve billions or
more. In other words, the income of
all the multi-millionaires could not have
much exceeded l per cent of the whole
The income of all the rich, that is to say,
of all the people with over $4,000 year
income, could not have much exceeded
one-fifth of the total.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

at "the urgent request of the President" he
has decided to accept the nomination is at
least unfortunate, and it would not be sur
prising ii it returned to plague him and
others before many days.
Mr.. Ford adjourned his politics and
pacitism some time ago. Perhaps he will be
more useful in the Senate than in industry,
where great things have heen accomplished
by him. Perhaps no straight-out Republi
can candidate can hope to defeat him at
the polls. Perhaps also the Republicans of
Michigan will kindly let Democrats in Lam
sing and Washington pick thei7 candidate
for them and make no opposition.
But if there should be resentment in
Michigan as we'll as in many other states
what in the mildest terms must be
characterized as an exceedingly irregular
proceeding, we shall have more fights than
fusions, and the unity so ardently sought
will be dangerously menaced. In all cases
of proposed fusion our domestic peace will
be promoted if the majority party be given
first Of all opportunity TO prove it's met
tle Only where there has been outrage
Gus failure Of duty can minority d;ctaticn
be justified, and as for intrusion from
Washington, the less we have of it the bet

Sending a Parcel

but under no circum stances would he take
my parcel without having first compared
my request with other letters from nv
friend He did not wish to be deceived.
Having other letter with me, was
obliged to return home, and in the after
noon the mother of my friend in France
brought the package down, and also several
letters for the purpose of identifying the
handwriting.
There was a different clerk present, and
in just so many words he said no parcel
would be taken unless accompanied by a
permit from 46 Broadway. When informed
that 45 Broadway had said the request was
10. K, he remarked that he did not care,
and also added that the lady had better
return home and learn more about her
business. However, the lady returned 20
as Broadway, where she was again assured
everything was satisfactory, and the pack
age was finally sent off from the postofice
in the Custom House.
Now, such a state of affairs is not very
encouraging to those wishing to send arti-
cles to boys overseas.

Cleaner Than His Partners

There are many contradictions in the
Turkish character. The Turkish govern
ment has shown bloodthirsty ferocity
toward the Christian races under it's
yoke. 1t has massacred Armenians.
Syrians and Greeks. But in the conduct
of warfare and the treatment of Allied
prisoners its policy has been in shining
contrast with that of its two Christian
co-belligerents-Germany and Austria
Hungary.
Turkey has earned a reputation for
clean fighting. She sticks to the humaner
code of the past. And there has been
very little complaint of seventies in her
prison camps. The Turk is warrior
and still has the warriors outlook.
1T is not surprising, therefore, that the
British and Ottoman governments have
recently concluded treaty concerning
prisoners of war and interned civilians
which manifests a sincere desire to i'm
prove the condition Of these unfortu-
mates 1t provides for the direct re-
patriation of all disabled prisoners of
war, without regard to numbers or rank.
One thousand invalid British prisoners
and 1,6O0 invalid Turkish prisoners are to
be repatriated at once without the for
maiities of medical examination. Officers
and men of the medical corps are also
60 be repatriated, with minor exceptions.
A few surgeons and sanitary orderlies
are to be left behind to take care of the
other prisoners. There is also to be an
unlimited repatriation of interned civil
ians, except male civilians between seven
teen and fifty years of age. These are
to be exchanged, man for man, under
subsequent protocols.
Turkey asked that all civilians
should be repatriated. This request has
been taken under advisement by the Brit
ish government. Another request made
by the Turks is interesting. 1t was that
at British camps for Turkish officers
barbed wire fencing be replaced by or
dinary wire or some other form of
fencing. This shows singular con-
sideration Of minnti@ affecting the vel
fare Of prisoners.
Both governments have bound them
selves to considerate treatment of
captiyes. No reprisals are to be taken

Our 2O6 Multi-Millionaires

ine Treasury Department at Wash
ington reports that for the fiscal year Of
1915 206 persons in the United States
paid taxes on incomes of a million dol
lars year or over. In q rough wav
TINS means that there were in that
year 206 persons possessed of twenty
or twenty-five millions of property in
this country. This was three and one
half times the number reporting such
an income for the fiscal year Of 1914.
That Is what imitation and war profits
mean IN the making of millionaires.
The Treasury does not reveal how
large are the highest incomes paid on.
but there is curious rule or law, known
as Pareto's law, discovered quite some
years ago by Swiss professor Of eco
nomics, which gives US cIew. This law
was first worked out on the income tax
returns of England, Prussia and Saxony.
1t has subsequently been found to hold
good equally in the United States. In
the roughest sort of way this rule is
that the number Of people having any
xiven income, say ten to twenty thou
sand year, is approximately one-third

A Government Labor Exchange

Announcement has been made by the
United States Employment Service that
it is now ready to take over entirely the
recruiting and distribution of labor for
war work, and that it is expected the
government will soon issue orders to en-
ployers with war contracts to cease in
dependent recruiting of labor. This
would be an excellent course, which man.
ufacturers would doubtless welcome. It
would relieve them of the responsibility
OF finding workers-a task of vast bur-
den and great expense-and it should
put an end to the Switching" of labor,
which has been holding a good percent
age of workers unemployed during their
transition from job to job and running
up labor costs at headlong speed.
The United States has been slow in
coming to this policy, considering the ex-
ample and experience of Great Britain.
There comprehensive system of gov
eminent labor exchanges, stated by gov
ernment officials, exists. Labor NAV be
obtained only through these exchanges.
Employers register their needs at these
offices; workers register there also. An
interchange of information enables the
officials to adjust the supply of workers
to the demand for them. Wages are
paid at district rates." Leaving GER
tificates' at first were required to pre-.
vent the shifting of labor for higher
wages, but so much unrest in labor or
CARNATIONS resulted that the plan was
abolished, and now there is fairly ex-
tended government regulation of plants
to assure economic use of labor and to
prevent any abuses affecting the en-
ployes. The Employment Service now
has $50 Offices, with comprehensive
system of labor recruiting and labor re-
serves. 1t declares that it is placing
about 5000 men day in munition plants,
shipyards and other war industries. and
on farms.
