UNCLE TOMS

"Lenell Partee, cOlored driver of the automobile
which on the night of July 30 collided with Wal
nutstreet car at Fourth and Walnut treet which
accident resulted i'll the death Of Mrs. Bertha Cage
coored, ST. Louis, sentenced to two years in the
house of correction a charge of manslaughter
Partee pleaded guilty
The foregoing appeared in recent issue of a
Milwaukee daily 1t is the bald newspaper report of
the outcome of the case of The State of Wisconsin
VS. Partee Back of it lies story of intrigue and
Negro weakness and lack of confidence in his own
that explains in measure his present condition
and gives a semblance of justification to the white
mans treatment of him.
When Partee was arrested Attorney j. G. Thur
man, the well known colored lawyer was retained
to defend him. In that capacity he appeared in the
District Court. Soon after this Mr. Kemper, white
attorney appeared in the case with MIR Thurman.
He is said to have been recommended by coored
minister of the community. For some reason Mr.
kcmper withdrew and then certain colored lady
put forward the claims of Mr.. Boyle. a young
white attorney associated with the Ilennessy Bro
theirs. They retained
In justice it may be said that they did as we'll for
I'll accused would Mr.. Thurman, but hardly any
better. Partee charged with mansaughter and
as the report shows pleaded guilty to mansaughter
and took two years.
In spite of their loud protestatons to the con
trary many colored believed most implicitly in the
superiority of white people. With many white peo-
pie they believe that any white man, however young
and inexperenced-h0 mcouth and ignorant
is equal to any ten colored men. When Thurman
discharged from the ease and O'Boyle retained
it in the belief that the accused would be bene-
fitted thereby and we rather suspect that those who
engineered the deal still think he was benefited in
spite of his plea to the charge and sentence. Some
day the colored people will awaken the fact that
all of the learning, wisdom and ability does not rest
in the white people. But it will be when all of the
Uncle Toms are dead and a new race of beings diff
terent from the present are developed. No race is
fit to be invested with its rights who lacks confidence
in itself

KEEP A PERSONAL LEDGER-sAvE

Enthusiastically systematic and efficient, the av
erage American keeps personal expense ledger,
in which he figures the relation of his expenditures
to his income. During the last year and a half,
a new page headed War Account was added to
this ledger Recently, the patriotic took his blue
pencil and scratching out the word War re
placed it with the pleasing of ''reconstruc-
ton
The modern citizen, knowing that certain ex-
penses, such rent, grocery bills. insurance and
the like, must be met every month sets aside Ger
tain proportion of the monthly income for these
purposes fhis same man, who has put much money
aside during the last year to help finance the war,
realizes that the prosperity of the future de-
ponds upon the cooperation given the Government
by the average citizen during the period of read
juStment and reconstruction. In other words every
one knows that If the income page OF the ledger is
to be satisfactory during the coming years. he must
pay for the work and the fighting that has been
done-to keep the balance of our national ledger
pages in favor and not in the Kaisers The
money that went into the first four loans came under
the head Of "up-kcep' for the armor of Freedom
The money that is put into loans during the recon
structon period viii under that of equip
ment- charging prosperity capacity
1t has been calculated that during the war, the
true American saved thee times more than he saved
before War demanded Thrift. Only through Sys
tematic appoytoning of income was this accom-
pished. But what greater stimulus could there have
been to cut down ON other pages than the presence
of Victory page i'll the ledger? Now that this
most valuable Victory has been won our habit Of
Thrift must not be lost. If the amounts are set
aside each week. they not missed from any in
come, whether the proportional investment in bonds
calls for dollar week or thousand dollars.
If every American patriot would adopt the per
sonal ledger page for reconstruction government
bond subscriptions the need for intensive campaigns,
by the government for financial support from the
people would be greatly minimzed. Every patriot
who is is enthusiastic in his peace patriotism as
he in his patriotism will consider deeply
ON this matter and call it to the attention of his
friends. Every reader of The Wisconsin Blade will
undoubtedly take it upon himself to promulgate this
doctrine of thrift

they won They couldn't lose, playing the tragic
game of that way.
Now there is a parallel calling for the same
method of play
The American Expeditionary Forces went abroad
to fight to be wounded to be killed, if necessary
fully determined to carry out their pledge of Vie
tory.
Nearly all the American soldiers are seas
and it will cost many hundred millions to bring them
back. Meantime, they must be fed and kept up tC
the scratch in appearance, health, morals, spirits
and every other way
There is only one way to do it. This paying bust
ness takes grit
Every American must go right on saving hard
as before the armstice.
Save every nickel, every dime, quarter and dollar
that be spared from living expenses. Put say
ings into the banks, or buy Thrift and War Savings
Stamps.
Then wen the time comes to subscribe for the
Fifth Loan everybody will be ready to carry out
the contracts we have on hand.

FESTIVAL OF THE PRINCE
OF PEACE

The Wisconsin State Council of
Defense has addressed to the State

circular:
1T is fitting that on the day

the Prince of Peace, a community
which has been brought into new
and closer relations by its united
efforts to achieve a great victory.
should join in such a celebration
of Christmas as it has never had
before. The first thrill of JOY that
found expression in a great, spon-
taneous demonstration, is over,
but there remains with all of us
deeper and a quieter sense of
gladness that may well find its own
expression in the lights, the songs
and the good cheer of a commm-
lty Christmas.
Such a celebration of Christ
mas the county units of the Wo-
man s Committees are asked to ar
range. The women who have led
in the war work of a community
should be the ones to now take
the lead in making it possible for
every community to join in a
deeply significant celebration of
Christmas peace. Let us this year
this year of victOry-plan a
whole week of Christmas JOY that
will include everyone, rich and
poor, young and old, glad and sad,
in evry community. Let us see
that the Christmas spirit, which
means good will, and open hearts,
the putting aside of all petty diff
ferences, the forgetting of all en-
mites becomes a vital thing in
the heart of every one of us.
A detailed program for a
week. celebration of the great
festival of Peace is added to the
circular with the request that it
be carried out.

forest of Argonne and the town of Sedan. Then
came the German surrender - the most abject and
