ANSWER WITH CASH AND
CONFIDENCE. HERE IT IS.

Evidently, there has been such
pressure brought upon 'the powers
that be" to pay tribute to our leading
Negroes, that they have overlooked
the matter of qualifications and es-
tablished a precedent-that military
fitness is wholly unnecessary and pro-
motions will be made on prestige rath-
er than merit.
Honors should be given those re-
sponsible for the organization Of any
unit, according to ability, and oftimes
as a mark of respect for their initia-
tive or for meritorious services; but
1t does not show good judgment, when
one who has not shown any effort to
organize-who is without military ex-
perience or commanding influence-is
placed at the head of company, sim.
ply to satisfy his desire for position,
at the same time, disregarding the
qualifications, welfare and ambitions
of those who outrank him.
Negroes are now beyond the infant
stage Of experience and they demand
exact treatment as white men of SIM
liar circumstances. They do not want
their military endeavors hindered by
any personal feelings or influences of
any nature, which might place them
on record as part Of any political
program or propaganda.
1t is far better that the biggest"
Negro fall in," in the rear rank, and
do his bit to perfect military organi-
Eation, which will reflect credit to our
race and state in future years, than
to seek highest honors by tricks that
are vain" bringing criticism on "the
powers that be-" who are accused of
making a place for him, because of his
supposed value as a political reserve
and not as q military factor. Every.
thing should be done to unite rather
than to disrupt the Home Guard. They
want every encouragement and every
Negro should take an active interest
In helping to maintain the organiza-
tion, which is the foundation Of the
military forces of the race In this
State. However, we want no special
privileges for undeserving celebrities.
Honors should be a reward of merit,
not personal favors granted for OBJ
vious reasons. Let us have the most
competent to lead, whether they be
men from menial or professional
ranks Of life, so long as they have
manhood and ability. Upon such a
foundation, there can be built grand
military organization, which will con-
tinue its good work in times of peace
as well as in war. Enlist in the Home
Guard.

sELFIsHNEss Is DlsLoYALTY.

Any person, who seeks honor or
personal gain in connection with any
war activities is a war profiteer, and
is guilty of the worst form of dis
loyalty. Every personal sacrifice is a
patriotic effort. It is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear
the Nations burden without COM
plaint This Is no time for obstruc-
tionists. Those who have grievances.
may complain, in order that better
progress may be made. The Stacker
and chronic kicker is always detri-
ment. While petitions Of redress to
proper authorities will always COM
mand respect and investigation, let
us not forget that every one Is asked
to do his share to win this war. There
is satisfaction in having done our
duty. There is honor enough for us
all, If we do that which is expected
of us. The patriot knows no self
preservation, the profiteer no self-sac-
rifice.

Dear Fellow Colored Americans:
The National Liberty Congress
which recently convened in the city
of Washington, fully accomplished
its avowed aim and object, viz: ITO
press the just claims of Colored
American citizens to share in the
world democracy, and to take posi-
tive measures to secure from the
Government guarantee of the aboli-
ton of disfranchisement and of all
caste determinations, civil and poll
tical."
Expressed In plain uncompromis-
ing English, our just grievances
were brought squarely before the
House Of Representatives, and before
the American people, by said Liberty
Congress, and were made promin-
ent and permanent part Of the Con.
gressionai Records. (June 20, 191s.)
It seems providentially fortunate
therefore, that this noteworthy
achievement on the part Of the Lib
erty Congress is to be so soon fol-
lowed by the Eleventh Annual Con-
vention of the National Equal Rights
League, to be held in September, in
the city of Chicago.
Our League Is to convene in one
of the most wide-awake political and
social centres in the United States
and during most critical period in
the worlds conflict. From this i'm
portant centre we shall urge our peo-
pie to remain loyal to our country
and to the cause of Humanity. We
mean to stand by Old Glory to the
death; we intend also to contend to
the death, II need be, for an equal
share In that same democracy for
which so many thousands of brave
Colored Americans are cheerfully pour
ing out their iife's blood. To secure
these blessings to ourselves we must
organize quickly those who are pro-
seribed seeking to combat proscrip-
ton. 81
Therefore, let us get together for
organization as a race to enforce our
claims to world democracy. Every
church, civic, educational, fraternal,
political and business organization
among our people, without regard to
sect, sex or party, are invited to be
represented in the Chicago conven-
ton by one, two or several delegates
to deliberate on the organizing of
our race for self-defense. An espe-
cial appeal is made for the quick for
nation of equal rights and democ-
racy leagues or committees for the
purpose Of sending delegates to this
national convention for race organ
ization for liberty.
Let every community join this Col
ored Liberty Organization Drive. Let
us as race get ready to enforce
our claim to World Democracy as an
issue Of this world war.
Yours for democracy now,
BYRON GUNNER.

He Is indeed lost who Is lost to

Nothing is quite so foolish as an
angry fool.
The true secret Of physical beauty
is to be born pretty.
At the age Of twenty-one a man
has more ideals than ideas.
The happiest women, like the hap.

A lace hat trimmed with fur Is

WISE AND OTHERWISE

The brotherhood of man and the sis.
terhood of woman is the highest level
man can reach on earth. The old phi
losophers pictured such a condition as
heaven.
Socrates, the father Of mental, moral
and religious liberty, was so demo-
cratic that he would sit with the crowd
on the sidewalk and dangle his feet In
the gutter.
The Golden Rule makes us all broth
ers, while the rule Of gold makes us all
enemies-the difference between gold
en- ideas in our head and gold dollars
In our stocking.
Helping to win political Justice for
others, is the best way to win eternal
Justice for ourselves. The church peo-
pie out of politics are out Of the kings
highway to heaven.
II political parties had no enemies
to fear they would have but few friends
to reward There were times-in the
worlds history when the same could be
said about the churches.
The parent who buys half-rate rail-
road ticket for child past thirteen
years old may justify the deed by cali
ing railroad companies dishonest, but
it's a mighty poor object lesson for
the child.
The negro pictured in the song "Way
Down Upon the Suwanee River" is the
negro who made himself a home to
cure his longings for home. The man
who has been homesick Is the man
who makes the good citizen.
