FINE VERBAL OUTPUT.

Congressman Pou, Democrat, North
Carolina, said in debate:
"As I stand here now I can see all
over the South the vine-clad cabins of
this kindly race. They have their
faults, but disloyalty is not among
those faults. In their homes you will
find a burning love of country, burn
ing love for the flag. From these lit
tie homes throughout the South re-
spending to their country's call the
young Negro men are now answering,
Here; we are ready"
Why then not enact law that any
man, white or black, who serves in
the military or naval service of his
country in this war, shall have the
right to cast his vote in any election
hereafter and to have it honestly
counted? Why not law against lynch
ing, which is even more important to
the loyal young and old Negroes" Of
this country? Why not, by Presiden-
tial order, stop the numerous color
lines being drawn in the governmental
departments at Washington, d. c., prin-
cipally, and elsewhere in the country

Boston, Mass, July 20, 191S.-Great
interest has been taken here in the
attitude of Hon. Moorfield Storey as
expressed by himself toward the Ma
tional Colored Liberty Congress, which
called 115 delegates to Washington
from 30 states, and at the close of a
whole weeks session with five nightly
mass meetings had a race petition pre-
scented to Congress and entered in the
records of the House asking for the
enforcement of democracy for Colored
Americans. The interest was the
greater because Of DR.. Dubois editor
tal in the Crisis against agitation in
war time, and the attempt of Major
Spingarn to prevent the Congress.
Without being consulted at all Mr..
Storey sent the following letter to the
Executive Secretary:
755 Exchange Building.
Boston, Mass, July 8, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Trotter:
/ congratulate you on the success of
your Liberty Congress. Persevere.

'"1 'o-0" '"T' DOES NOT RUN

"The colored troops fought bravely."
It does not matter whether this his
toric report emerged from the Civil
War or from one of the earlier strug-
giles of the Republic. 1t has been his
torically true at all times. General
'Pershing reports from the field of
France: 81 cannot-eommend too high
1y the spirit shown among the colored
combat troops who exhibit fine capac-
1ty for quick training and eagerness for
the most dangerous work" In these
words the American commanding Of
ficer bears glad testimony to the brav-
cry and devoted spirit of the American
Negroes who are doing their full share
for the defense of their country and
the triumph of civilization and democ.
Tacy.
It always has been SO. In every war
in which the United States has, en-.
gagged, the report has been to the same
effect as the historic message quoted:
i"The colored troops fought bravely.'
In the Continental army, in the Am
,erican revolution, in the naval trium
,phs of the War of 1912. in the struggle
between North and South and finally
in the brief contest with Spain, the
American Of African descent proved
his valor and staying qualities.
4 Now, in the greatest of wars and
the greatest Of duties, the Negro has
conducted himself, so as to win the ap
probation Of our greatest soldier. The
kaiser will find that the American

"coLoRED TROOPS :,
FOUGHT NOBLY"

"The colored troops fought nobly."
That was more than half a century
ago. They fought nobly'' on the
and the Atlantic, wherever they have
been called on to fight. Properly led,
they are magnificent fighting men;
faithful, fearless, devoted, cheerful.
And now In France they are living
up to the reputation they have won
on other, far distint fields.
We have been told of the particu-
larly valorous acts of two of them.
Harry Johnson of Albany and Need
ham Roberts of Trenton, N. j. They
have been enrolled among the heroes
of the world and have been cited for
the Croix de Guerre before the French
army. They accomplished some in
credible thing-fought with skill and
calmness as their wounds accumu-
lated, substituted one weapon for an
other as their assailants crowded
about them, finally beat back score
and more of Germans before they
sank unconscious at their posts as
squads there was nothing to do ex-
cept to carry them back to the lines
for transport to the hospital; these
two men had finished the job and
Johnson's sole thought was of his
duty: Corporal London, turn out the
guard" were his first words when
consciousness came back to him. They
will get well of their wounds, but
not as soon as they want to, and their
only wish is to return to the trenches.
OF them the French General, SOL
dier not unaccustomed to heroic and
skilful military deeds, wrote to his
superior:
"The American report is too modest.
AS result of oral information fur
nished to me it appears that the blacks
were extremely brave and this little
combat does honor to the American"
If the good and the great who have
preceded the hero of the present are
privileged to read the citation for con-
spicuous bravery that mark their hon.
orable successors, how must the shade
Of Robert Gould Shaw rejoice!-The

THOSE GEORGETTES.

OF the creation of fads there is no
end, and for every one fad, there are
a thousand fools.
The Georgette Crepe fad is on and
as result, thousands of women are
naked. They put on thicker clothes to
go to bed than they do to go into the
streets.
The indications" are that some Of
these wearers are kinder" shy on
underwear. They haven's the quality
that goes with Georgette. In fact,
Summer is a tell tale. We find that
we have an army of outside show"
ladies who dare not faint. Through
the airy, gauzy, sleezy creations" we
see coarse, soiled, dingy, underwear.
Then too, size and shape of arms
should regulate the style and texture
of the material for waist. Broom
sticks and mill posts should not be
covered with Georgette.
Have you seen the one inch shoul-
der strap girls? Surely she must wear
that simply as an expression" of
patriotism. She likes shoulder straps
and in these days when patriotism is
expressed in every possible way, she
dons the strap.
But isn't 1t strange that these
sleezyly dressed women and girls can
not keep their arms down. Perhaps
they feel light enough to fly, but we
wish they would keep their wings
down until they are ready to use more

SENATORS QU|BBLE
 1. CHILL LDISHLY OVER : OVERMAN MEASURE
Some Are So Afraid Presi- dent Will Misuse Power Given Him to Win
 the War

Washington, April 1i.-Restriction of the Presidents power in recognizing government agencies to the military es- tablishment and other war-making branches was advocated today when the Senate resumed debate on the overman reorganization bill. laid aside a week for passage of sedition legislation. < Senator Smith of Georgia led the at tack on the administration measure, de- claring that while there is no lack of confidence in President Wilson, lie should not be given authority to dis- turh the interstate commerce commission, federal reserve board, federal trade com mission or other agencies.
 He said he favored giving the Presi- dent more power over the military es- tablishment than the bill proyides-but by specific designation by Congress.
 In long speech ohampioning the bill Senator Lewis, democratic whip, de- clared Congress should give the Presi- dent any powers he deems necessary to successfully prosecute the war.
 Senator Reed again spoke in opposi ton to the general authority proposed in the bill and declared that it's enact ment is unnecessary to effect reorganiza- ton of. agencies in the civil establish ment. He insisted that as the bill is brought forth purely as a war meas ure" 1t should carry specific limitations.
 Senator Ashurst pleaded that no aid or comfort be given to the enemy by shack ling the American commander-in-chief
 The senator declared President Wilson the most potent official in .'all Christer- do,o's and the spolSesman for the allies
 Vet" he continued, this man who has demonstrated his great capacity for public affairs and has moved with un- erring precision in matters of world wide import, is not to be trusted-so say some senators--with the power of transferring certain bureau officials ands chief clerks in Washington
