TO THE COLORED CITIZENS.
By Kelly Miller.

The world is engulfed in the red ruin
OF war. The present titanic conflict is not
due to the inherent deviltry of one nation
or the innate goodness of another The
accumulative ethical energies of society
for generations have been damned up by
the barrier of hatred and greed The
stored up power is now breaking through
the barrier with cataclysmic outburst The
social fabric is being shaken to it's very
foundation. AS outcome of the war, the
reimbursement of the social structure will
he more radica! than that effected by the
French revolution. The transforming ef
feet upon the status Of the Negro will be
scercely less momentous than the Emanci-
patton Proclamation.
Democratization Of the world, coined as
fitting phrase, will be translated into
actuality. The Declaration of Independ-
ence. penned by slave holder, sounded the
death knell of slavery, although three
quarters Of century elapsed between
promise and fulfllment. The democratic
zation of the world is but restatement
OF this doctrine in terms of present day
attitude OF the world. Political autocracy
and race autocracy will be buried in the
same grave. Hereafter no nation. how
ever strong, will be permitted to override
weaker neighbor by sheer dominance of
power; and no race will be permitted to
impose ruthless regime upon the weaker
breeds OF men through sheer assumption of
superiority Hereafter, England will treat

THE HUNS OF MISSISSIPPI.

The Huns of Mississippi have burned an
other colored man at the stake, he being
suspected Of having killed white girl and
chopped her body to pieces. Like all such
cases there was little or no evidence to
show that the man was guilty, but being
''nigger' and found near the scene of
the crime and. cit being utter Y impossible
for white person to commit so heinOus
an offense. unless caught in the very act,
it necessarily followed that colored man
must have done so, and if the one burned
at the stake did not actually commit the
crime then some colored man did it, and if
you can not get the one that actually COM
mitted the crime then take the first one
that you can get your hands on, for it is
absolutely necessary to burn "nigger" at
the stake in order to keep them in fear and
subiugatiOn." These border outlaws of the
state of Mississippi are styled Huns because
the Huns have practiced more brutality in
the present world war than any other class
Of human oc.ngs in the conflict. not even
excepting the Senegambians of darkest
Africa. Ninety per cent Of the white men
Of Mississippi are traitors to the flag Of
the United States and if Theodore Roose-
welt or some other man from the north
were president of the United States instead
Of Woodrow Wilson, southern man, in
our HlHcuy per CcuG OI GuC WulCt
men Of that state would be slackers, and,
yea. verify. it is reported that even now
thew are doing all within their power to
dodge the conscript law. Tt was in the
town of Hazlehurst. the scene of the re-
cent burning at the stake where Print
Mathews. white man. who dared to say
he was a Republican from principle and
defied the Democratic traitors. was shot to
death in the streets and the dirty cowardly
dog who shot him in the back was not even
tried for the nefarious act. That was some
thing like thirty years ago and periodically
that God-forsalSen hole has been the scene
Of first one bloody outrage and then an
other against some colored man and yet
those people claim they are patriotic Ameri-
can citizens, when in fact the dirty Hun
earian traitors never drew a patriotic
breath and would rise in rebellion as quick
ly today as they did in 1860. It is safe
to say that Of the four thousand colored
men, women and children that have been
lvnched in the south since the emancipa-
tion ninety per cent Of them were lynched
on mere suspicion and could not have been
convicted of the crime for which they
suffered death, in any fair and impartial
court of justice. Oh mighty God, is there
no relief for such brutality?

Russia, the Jews; and America, the Ne
groes. with fuller measure of justice and
consideration than heretofore
The peoples of all lands who are heavy
laden and overborne will be the chief
beneficiaries of this war The Negro prob
lem is involved in the problem of humanity
The whole is greater than any of it's parts.
The Negro will share in the general mo-
mentum imported to social welfare
Already, he has been admitted to indus
trial opportunity in the north with mani
fest reaction upon the harsh regime in the
south.
National prohibition which is borne for
ward on the wave of the world war, will
immensely improve his moral status Eighty
Thousand Negro soldiers have been enlisted,
and seven hundred Negroes have been
commissioned as officers in the army of
the United States Negro has been made
assistant cabinet officer whose function will
be to adinst harmoniously the races re-
lation to the pending struggle
The improved attitude of the white race
towards the Negro is apparent in two af-
firmative decisions rendered by the Supreme
Court Of the United States with unanimous
concurrence
The Negro will emerge from this war
with double portion Of privilege and op-
portunity.
Every NEGRO should he loyal and patri-
otic, although there are inil1stces and dis
ordinations which try our souls IF we
overcome these trials and tribulatons will
work out a more exceeding weight of ad-
vantage But if we allow them to overcome
us. woeful will be orr lot indeed To stand
s'1ll1ilv by in plaintive aloofness because of
Just grievances, would be of the same kind
of folly as to refrse to help extinguish a
confederation which threaters the destrnc
tion of ones native citv because he has
complaint against the fire department. Let
IFS help put out the confederation which
threatens the world. and then make the
world our lasting debtor We must stand
shoulder to shoulder with our white fel-
low citizens to fight for the freedom of
the world, outside of our own national cir
Gle. and then we must hold them to moral
consistency Of maintaining lust and
equitable regime inside Of that circle De-
mocra"v like charity should begin at home
at least it should prevail there Let us
FIGHT to the finish to the effect that no
ration shall hereafter dare attempt to make
an international treaty scrap of paper. Tt
must therefore follow then as corollary, that
no nation will henceforth allow it's own
constitution, which is an intra national
treaty, to be made scrap of paper
The tide Of democracy is sweeping
through the world like a mighty river The
race problem and other social ills are but
AS marshes, back-waters stagnant pools. es-
tuaries which have been shut off from free
circulation with the main current But the
frfesbet of freedom is now overfowing it's

"PHoNEY" TIGHTS
 TABOO IN JERSEY.

"Phoney' fights will not be tolerat- ed in New Jersey, where Boxing Com missioner Smith has taken firm stand against ring exhibitions that are in any way subject to doubt as far as their being straight is con- cerned. Commissioner Smith has won the approval and gratitude of the fight fans by his recent action in ex polling Bartley Madden and Clay Turner from New Jersey rings for a period of six months for their attempt at faking a bout. If there is any criticism of the punishment at all it is that the period of punishment inn posed by the Commissioner is not long enough. New Jersey is attracting a lot of ring followers these days from all over New York. With Smith at the helm the fans, from wherever they may be, are insured against being swindled by promoters, managers and boxers. It is generally expected that the fate of Madden and Turner will be a lesson to those who contemplate any repitition of ring faking.

POLICE SEEING
ARMS IN IRELAND

London, July ga press association
dispatch from Dublin says that the po-
lice Of Ballinasloe, county Galway,
have raided farm houses within a ra-
dius of fifty miles selling hundreds of
guns of various descriptions.
The raids were carried out stimuli
taneously, before daylight, and ex-
tended in to the adjoining counties of
Roscommon and Kings There was
no resistance except in few instan-
ces where the presence of arms was
denied, but the weapons afterward
were surrendered. The country peo-
pie were surprised, not expecting such
darstic action in view of the recent
proclamation of Viscount French, lord
lieutenant of Ireland, calling for re-
cruits.

YOU CAN'T FIND ANY
DANDRUFE, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save your hair! Make it thick,
wavy, glossy and beautiful
at once.

( Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not find single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at frst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately doubles
the beauty of your hair. No difference
how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy,
just moisten cloth with Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time The
effect is immediate and amazing-your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance Of abundance; an
Incompatible lustre, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove that your hair is as
pretty and soft as any-that it has been
neglected or injured by careless treat
ment. A small trial bottle will double
the beauty of your hair.

Fire Waste

Pointing out that the fire loss in 1917
exceeded that of any year in the history
OF the country save the year of the San
Francisco earthquake, the National Ccun-
Gil of Defence urges the state councils tc
renewed effort and more energetic reme-
dies" against fires. 1t suggests "constant
watchfulress. frequent inspection, extra
guards, especially at night, and the proper
care and segregation of all infammable
waste"
The S230,O00,000 fire loss last year was
just that much taken out of the wealth Of
the nation-a sizable tax on each inhabi-
tant of this great land. Destruction due
to the incendiary's match Or the pottor';
bomb is war hazard Destruction due to
cigarette butts, carelessness with matches
improper electric wiring 1imsy curtains
near gas jets, reckless storing of oils and
gasolene, factory and domestic rubbish
heaps is little short Of criminal Proper
precautions, industrial and domestic
against fire should be treated as a highly
important brand of war conservation.
