Let Everybody Do Il.

A correspondent Of the Minneapolis
Journal writes to say that he has vol
unfairly reduced his consumption Of
wheat, meat and sugar By 80 per cent.
Under compulsion. he says, he would
gladly reduce it by 90 per cent or even
more, for then he would be assured
that everybody was doing II, whereas
DOW there is every possibility that
some pro-German or Stacker is COB
bling up or wasting all that he saves.
This constant urge to voluntary sacrt-
fee places all the sacrifice upon the
good citizen, while the unpatriotic citi-
zen goes free. The principle IS undemo-
cratic; which Is TO say that in q demo
cratic country 1t is entirely wrong.
Only through compulsion in food con-
servation can justice be done 10 the
sacrificing patriot. = Winnipeg Tele-

Dear Sir
On the ninth page and first col
umn OF your paper Of July 31st,
1918, appeared a news item or a
write-up Of tho work of the Army
| and Navy Club.
1t was perfectly fine thing this
club did to aid this Negro soldier,
| rs we'll as the eight white soldiers
who were strapped" on their re-
turn to camp. But in the write up,
your paper refers to the Negro SOL
der in terms which offer an insult,
not only to this American soldier,
but to every self respecting member
Of his race.
Viz: "If ever 'darkey' turned
white this darkcy did," etc.
The Negro is making q record in
This war, as he has in other wars,
OF which every true American citizen
should be justly proud. 1t should
not be true that we would be moro
careful Of how we treat or refer to
every one else in this country and
with so much impunity, humiliatc
and utterly disregard the feelings OF
this important ten per cent of our
American citizenry among whom has
never been found a traitor, but upon
whom our country could always de-
pend absolutely in crisis such as
the one through which we are now
passing. We shall not only need
every American citizen to help win
this war, but we are learning now
that We have always needed and
shall need after this war, the loyalty
and patriotism Of every citizen to
make strong united America.
In our future dealing with and
reference to this group OF 100 per
cent Americans, we would do we'll
to keep in mind the fine sentiment
expressed by James Russell Lowell,
in "The Present Crisis"
'f'or mankind one in spirit and an instinct
bears along.
Round the carth's electric circle, the swift nosb
OF right or wrong;
Whether conscious or unconscious, yet Humanity

Through its ocean sundcrcd hbrcs feels the erusb

In the gain or loss OF one race all the rest

AS one Of those who are helping
to create public sentiment at this
most crucial tmie, q splendid oppor-
tunity is yours. II you would in the
same column in which this hurtful
epithet appears take away the sting
OF 1t, and IL in oil future publications
