COLOR QUESTION ARISES IN
TRANSvAAL.

The Transvaal is now discussing
whether unskilled labor shall be the
exclusive property of Kaffir natives or
whether white men shall be employed
for such work There is considerable
difference of opinion in the matter,
and although certain interests oppose
the employment of white men at COM
paratively high wages, several news
papers and organizations are strongly
in favor of educating white men to
perform all the important work of the
country.
One objection to the employment OF
white men for unskilled work is that
it may bar blacks from employment
of any kind. White labor now has a
MONOPOLY of the skilled trades and
there is a possibility that the high
wages of white unskilled labor may
cause employers to hire white men ex-
clusively as they refuse to pay the
same money to blacks.

entation of a law that would place
the citizenship of America, with re-
spect of the exercise of their political
rights, on the basis of equality, they
would be doing a much greater work
than by the presentation of bill that
imposes a fine of a thousand dollars
or Imprisonment of year on those
who bribe a voter or who accept
bribe though l am heartily In favor of
the pending bill. Today it takes $4,000
men to elect the average member OF
Congress from a northern state and
the average number of votes cast in
the southern states for members of
Congress is $500.
You may have more votes at the
primary, but you do not have them at
the election. The primary there is the
election. l say that the primary in the
South ought not to be any different
from the primary in the North. The
oligarchy ought not to continue to con-
troll America when it prevents the ex-
ercise of the franchise by the men who
are willing to give their blood Tor the
preservation OF the nation"

ACASE IN EQUITY

line officers desired?' and there is
but one answer. If the French gov
ernment can commission Negro men
all the way up to the rank of Cen
eral, why should America lag behind
when we have millions of the best
Negro population of the world?
I'VE have no reason to doubt but
that the government will give us an
other such training camp as we had
at Fort Des Moines, if not train
ing camp then any provision to it's
| liking that will furnish to the Ne
gro troops of the second draft our
quota Of line officers, both for the
inspiration of our troops and the race
in it's entirety, as well as for the eff
ficiency of our troops, and further
more as recognition of our enthus-
iastic loyalty to the nation in this
time of its awful crisis. l---
1--WE are calling attention to this
| fact because there are forces already
! at work to give us as few line Off
GERS as possible. If such propa-
ganda succeeds it will be at the ex-
pense of the efficiency of our army
and in the interest of personal and
racial advancement. The equity in
the case justifies the expectation
that our hopes will be realized and
that our capable men of training and
of leadership shall be called to those
places of honor and of trust, and
they will make good.
There has gone to the scrap heap,
never to be resurrected, that infam-
Gus lie that Negroes cannot be led
by Negroes, that the rank and file
do not respond to the leadership of
their own. Every concrete example
in the life of our race is to the con-
trary. In commercial, in industrial,
in educational, in all the walks of
our racial life, where Negroes of
ability, of character, of force and of
leadership have been put in COM
mand of a segment of our people
there has always been a larger re-
/ SpOuSc dhI ltSuito. hS Sii
tire race sits up in expectancy for
the announcement any day that pro-
vision has been made by which we
shall be given our rightful quota of
line officers. Are we to be disap-
pointed?"
The foregoing is a most able and
timely article and an exact embodi-
ment of our peoples sentiment.

Shreveport, La, Oct. 11.-What was
known as the largest personal sub
scription to the Fourth Liberty Loan
was made in Caddo parish by David
II. Haynes of Vivian. Mr.: Haynes,
whose plantation was changed to gold
when oil was discovered on it, walked
into the local Liberty Loan headquar-
ters here and purchased 100000 worth
of government subscriptions. He as
serted that should the city fall short
of its quota he would submit check
to bring the amount up to the govern
ment requirement.

Durham, n. c., Oct. 1.-THE North
Carolina Mutual Insurance Co., pur-
chasers of 100000 worth of Liberty
bonds in the first, second and third
Liberty loans, has been instructed by
its president, John Merrick, who is
now in Hot Springs, Ark, to buy S4O,-
900 worth of bonds of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. Mr.. Merrick subscribed
$1,000 personally. This will bring the
total of the company up to S15O,OoO'
which has been acknowledged by Sec
retary McAdoo as being the largest
subscription in government securities
ever taken by company comprised
wholly of members of our race.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
CERTAIN MOVIE PLAYS.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
through it's secretary, John R. Shillady
of New YORK, announces that in the in
terests of national unity it has begun
a nationwide campaign against GER
tain movie plays which serve to stir
up race antagonisms between white
and colored people and against unduly
offensive caricatures of colored peo-
pie. "The recent patriotic action of
Governor James NJ. Cox of Ohio and
that of the Council of Defense of West
Virigian in accomplishing the with
drawal from the movie theatres of
their respective states of the objec-
tionable film, The Birth of a Nation,
is a very gratifying evidence of the
kind of result the association wishes
to see made nationwide" says the as
sociation's statement. "At the request
of Governor Cox the producers of
The Birth of a Nation have agreed
to withdraw the film for the period of
the war. In West Virginia the Coun-
Gil of Defense considered that this
movie film should not be shown at the
present time and prohibited its appear
ance" Similar action has been taken
in one or two other states, and in
some cities, both north and south, and
efforts are being made to bar the film
from cantonments, the association de-
clares.
An appeal has been made by the as
sociation to the State Councils of Ma
tional Defense and to the governors
of all the states to follow the example
of Ohio and West Virginia and secure
the suspension of the production dur
ing the war, either by the voluntary
action of the producers or by legal
mandate, if necessary. The associa-
ton asks the public, particularly Lib
erty loan and war workers, to refrain,
as far as possible, from unduly offend
ing the sensibilities of colored people
by thoughtless caricatures of Negroes.
Some of the movie caricatures OBJ
jected to appear in patriotic films in
which the offensive result is due obVl-
ously to lack of imagination and not
to malice" says the association.
I'VE do not believe it to be an un-
reasonable request" continues the APP
peal, ito ask those responsible for
movie and poster art to remember
that new type of Negro has long
since. except in the backwoods stage
supplanted the shuffling, flat-footed'
watermelon-eating, hat-in-hand, stage
monstrosity. as indeed the best artlsts
and illustrators have long ago dlscoV-
cred. But particularly vicious at TINS
time" the association concludes, are
the shameless appeals to race pre1u-
dice, which by playing upon the mean
er hatreds of baser sort, stir up pas
sions which can only result in repe-
titions of such outbreaks as the recent
Philadelphia riots

sort of compromised

He is agreed and fully subscribes to
the program of the nation and gives
his last ounce of devotion without
quiver or question to the end that
the Huns may be driven to their
knees and that the world shall be
made safe for all times. We an
swered the call of the first draft
with an alacrity that dumbfounded
our enemies and brought our friends
to their tiptoes. We supplied our
quota and more. The only COM
plant that has arisen from these
loyal and faithful Negroes is that
more of them have not been able
to face the enemy in the very thick
est of the fight. So anxious were
our boys for the fray that they
spurned the position that were prac-
tically free from danger. They much
preferred the spot where bullets
thickest fly.
In the draft that is now under
way we will respond in like man
ner as we did in the first draft, and
we are glad of the chance. But in
all this we are frank to say that we
are just men enough to be like other
men and desire for ourselves, as well
as for our posterity, every advant-
age that comes to men who offer
70 of
our national life.
In the first draft we received
something like 1000 officers, when
our quota, figuring on rough basis,
would have been something like g.
600. These Officers in the line were
from the recognition given colored
to that of captain. Even in this we
have not made very large progress.
from the recognition given colored
troops in the Civil war, for even at
that time there were Negroes COM
missioned to the rank of captain.

speak now not of a small segment
but for the race of twelve million,

they should have every line officer
lid to the rank of captain. The l.
600 officers who were given us in
the first draft have made good. The
Negro regiment that was decorated
in its entirety on the Western
front for it's bravery was led by col
ored officers have been placed in di-
rect charge of troops they have had
a racial pride, as well as national
pride, to defend, and they did.
"On the other hand, when our
qualified men are set aside and men
of other races are put over our
troops. our troops may fight, but
thew do not fight with the enthus-
iasm that they would if their own
men were given a chance. So that
in the interest of morale, as well as
the efficiency of our army, we are
asking that in this second draft we
shall have our prorata of line Off
GERS. at least to the rank of captain,
if not further.
"It would seem that the equity in
the case would insist upon this. we
know thoroughly well that it is the
desire of our Negro population.
