NEGROES OVER-SUBSCRIBE
QUOTAS.

The Mutual Savings Bank, of Plrts,
mouth, Va, fcolored), was assigned
$12,5Oo as its quota of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. A Federal Reserve bank
official of Richmond reports its total
subscription as $4,000.
The Atlanta chairman of the Fourth
Loan campaign stated to the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce that the larg-
est subscription in proportion TO the
subscribers resources made in the
city was that Of the Standard Life
Insurance Company, colored institu-
tion, which subscribed $4,000. EN-
ployees added to this $1,000 of per
sonal subscriptions.
The quota of Warren County, Ca,
for thi War Work drive, was $4,000
for both races. Before the drive
opened the Negroes had subscribed
this amount, and $3.50 over. In the
same way the colored people of Will
son county, N. c., oversubscribed the
$4,000 quota Of the county before the
drive opened; and the county chair.
man had to have the quota raised to
100000 to give the white people a
fair chance.

pulp exposure may cause excruclatlng

one hundred where there is toothache
from pulp exposure the tooth can pc

The trouble is: the laity look upon
their teeth as "Oh, well, a-matter-ot-

The teeth should not be regarded
so lightly. They are important; they
are potent factor in the mechanism
of the human body, but because OF
the ease of access to them, because OF
their permanent fxation and because
of the apparent slow process OF de

GHAOOL

Washington, D. C.-The Commits,
sinrer of Education, Southern man
issues an official statement of the war
time needs of colored schools A few
are widely known and well supported;
and more have an assured, though in
adequate income from denominational
and private sources "But," to quote
DR.. ClaNton, many of the best private
schools, including especially the effec-
tive small schools of the industrial
tvpe are Independent in character,
and have no income except from do
nations"
These schools on which the South
must so largely depend for efficient
workers in agriculture and other fields
of essential labor, are hard hit by the
war, the necessary war-appeals hav-
ing quite overshadowed them in the
minds of their former helpers. At
the same time the high cost of living,
and government calls for helpers at
a living wage, have deprived these
schools Of many Of their best teach
ers, who have for years "Srom sheer
devotion to the work, served for
small salaries"
These schools, "both of the academ-
ic and the Industrial type, need mon
ey urgently; not only for the neces-
sary work they have been doing for
years. but to prdvide the special train
ing imperatively needed for large
numbers of colored people in the war
emergency" I'M the no less ext
gent emergency of world construction
following peace. The Bureau of Edu,
cation lists, in Bulletin 1916, No. 3S-
80, all colored schools, with descrip-
tions and recommendations. The Bu-
reau will gladly. supply iuformation
to any one who is interested.
The prosperity of big business and
big development largely depends, and
especially in the South, on the charac
ter, training and efficiency of our mil
lions of colored workers and citizens

States today and which is making the
world sit up and take note and if she
had the right by ballot to blot such
a disgrace from the face Of the globe
she would certainly do SO for it is
natural to the tender loving heart Of
a woman to wish to relegate to the
shades, those things which destroy the
beautiful and the good All agree that
checking the liquor traffic would not be
demoralizing to society. Women, if
emancipated, enlightened, enfranchis-
ed will be able to render more eff
cient service for they will soon put
an end to brutal slaughter and make
this world decent abode as they will
not allow their sons as Napolean said,
ito be given as flesh for the cannon"
Our women brokers, clerks, bank
ers, lawyers and those in other busi-
ness enterprises are not demoralizing
to society. for they have as high elu'
cation and are as ,AD.l"e to manage
business AMI political affairs as man.
Cicero said Of Cornelia, who gave pub
lie lectures on philosophy in Rome,
"Cornelia deserves the first place
among philosophers" and we have at
this age, those greater than Cornelia.
It may be said that political rights
to woman is demoralizing 10 society
in that it will cause that disruption
OF the home. The age is TOO far ad.
vanced for such and argument
Woman has discovered herself. Shroud.
ed in that inner recess which no one
can approach, she has a consciousness
and a love of home which nothing can
destroy but an endeavor to chain her
there when she should have as much
liberty as man. 1t is also objected
that such political rights will give
bad women too much power. In any
thing the majority is always the ruling
power and only seven per cent of the
worlds criminals are women. In oui
penitentiary there are sixty womer
against about fifteen hundred men.
Another object is that her constant
mingling with the opposite sex vii
lesson the respect shown her. We will
answer that by asking does it lowel
her standing when she goes to tn,
I post office, church, opera and otheI
public places?' Some may say tha
her lack of business qualification makes
her unfit for political power. Man.

ffhey are asking that you burn

yHl be sure to get the benefit of this
nielOdious music, a reminder of that
memorable night when the heavenly
choir sang its paeans on the plains of
bethlehem thousands of years ago. In
their tour they will take the liberty
OF stopping at the homes of those
they know to be friends of the Phyl-
lis Wheatley, regardless as to
whether there is a light burning in
their windows or not But whatever
you do be sure to see that light is
burning from your window from 1900
o'clock until the singers come your
way, for they will certainly be there
sometime between nine and mid
night

piness and those who are not able to

and the members of this society
have taken this means to raise money
in order that some OF the cheer that
is so very prevalent at this time of
the year may be distributed to those
who are less fortunate than we. We
are quite sure that no home will fail
to be prepared for these singers. Let
us not forget the spirit that exists
at this time Of the year. It is as if
the very Savior himself were here.
Remember the words of the de$r
lord when he said: IF ye have dor
Ii unto the least of these my litt.1
ones, that ye have done it unto me;
l was sick and We visited me; was
hungry and ye fed me; was naked
and ye clothed me-" Then in the
face of this injunction can you fail to
do your part as you feel able? You
will certainly enjoy the Christmas
with more joy, with greater joy and
with clearer conscience if you know
that you have made some poor child
or some sick mother happy

SHOULD WOMEN
BE INCLUDED
SUFFRAGE AGITATION SPREAD
ING
WOMEN ARE NOT DETRIMENTAL
LATENT POWERS LAUDED
EQUALS OF ANY POWER
NO DECENTRALIZATION HERE.

The issue at stake is whether or
not the including of women in poll
tical affairs has corruptinG influence
upon society. We contend that sutf-
ragist agitation is not demOraliZing in
it's effects upon society for in all of
the states, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Kansas and others where women
have been given political rights, it has
not proved detrimental for it has
brought to light the latent powers
which have hitherto lain dormant in
woman and thus with her literary
genius and political power she has
been able to lift society to an even
higher plan. 1t is aconceded fact that
society begins at home and it is here
that mother instils the principles Of
patriotism in the hearts of those
clinging to her for guidance and pro-
lection,
Women are equal mentally to any
other ruling power and therefore her
influence would be as uplifting for
from like sources like results are OBJ
tanned. Past experience in various
wars and political affairs proves that
woman has been a benefit rather than
a menace to society for she has taught
by word and deed, frugal ty and in
dustry and raised sons and daughters
that might become worthy citizens.
Women has not receded so far from the
past that if she were given a greater
scope over which to weld her magne.
