Special to The Kansas City Sun.

Special to The Kansas City Sun.
Washington, D. c., August Pres
ident Wilson is greatly pleased with
the conference of Colored Editors and
other leaders of thought and opinion
among the colored citizens of the
country, held short time ago in this
city. The report of the conference
has been published far and wide and
the proceedings have attracted larg-
er measure of attention than the re-
port of any similar gathering of col
ored men since emancipation.
In a recent letter, the Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation plainly indicates
his deep interest and genuine sat
isfaction with. the meeting and its
successful outcome as well as with
the practical results that have ac-
crued from the frank and .unhampered
interchange of views as to how the
100000 Negroes of the country
might most effectively aid America
to win this righteous war for freedom
and worldwide democracy. The
President feels that the problems con-
sidered by the conference were
grave and weighty," and he is cheer
ed by the thought that the whole
state of feeling throughout the coun-
try will be helped by the broad
spirit of patriotism which dominated
the conferees in their calm, dignified
and high-purposed deliberations.
In no uncertain terms, the Presi-
denete warmly commends the colored
Representatives of the press for their
timely emphasis of national unity on
the vital issues involved in the war
and applauds the inspiring example
set by them for all Americans who

when Kansas City instituted civil SER

Bailer was high man on the examine

Department. He was appointed
charge of the medical ser

partment discontinued this service,
he was made visiting physician, a cap

confidence of the department for sew

CUT OUT THE TERM "NlGGER"

While The Observer protests
against the appellations employed by
other races in referring to our race,
it finds that it is necessary to again
ask our people to abolish such appro-
brious names as niger
When other races call us "coons, 80
"darkies," bucks ''niggers,
Shines" boys "uncles," "aunties, -
Johns Bills" "Mauds," Polly
anns,' ETC., we become indignant, and
rightly so, too.
But let us not be inconsistent on
the other hand and continue to use
the same terms in speaking to or of
each other that we criticize others for
employing when referring to our race.
We are not "niggers," and strenu-
ously object to any man, woman or
child calling us that approbious name
or any of it's ilk.
Now since we are demanding that
other men regard and treat us as
American citizens and not as cattle
or chattel, let us cut out calling each
other niger

able act without giving it serious

the fund, it is stated that reward of

rectly responsible for arrest and sub
sequent conviction of any person or
persons instrumental in arousing a
mob to commit lynching or participa-
ting in the lynching itself when the
victim is white. A reward of $1,000
is provided under similar conditions
when the victim of the lynching is e
negro. The offer applies both to of
ficers of the law and private citizens
of any state.

thought, either before or after such
utterances, but it smacks too much
of slavery and its attendant evils and
ills to be countenanced in the light
of this twentieth century, when all the
manners and customs of the dark ages
are being discarded and millions of
men are spilling their life's blood now
in France for eradicating those that
remain.
