There are few honest and sincere
colored men who use the term negro"
in describing themselves, but the ma
jority who use the term are jimcrow-
lists pure and simple. The time has
come to eliminate such words as Ger
man, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc.
People in the United States ought to
be satisfied to be known as Americans.
That one word is big enough to in
clude all persons born in this country.

FRENCH WAR CROSS FOR every
MEMBER OF COLORED REGI
MENT.

MEN1.
Editorial by Arthur Brisbane, editor
of the Hearst Newspapers.)
1t will soon be time for another St.
Gaudens to make a monument to
another lot of colored troops of the
United States.
St. Gaudens made magnificent
statue of heroic young Shaw, the
white man, leading his colored troops
against slavery.
Another American officer, also
named Shaw, offers something to the
sculptor, something rather hard to
show in marble or bronze.
The French war department de-
clares that every member of a colored
regiment is entitled to the war cross
for courage shown in their first fight
ing under fire.
The white officer, Lieut. Shaw,
was looking after his guns, giving in
structions, taking them to pieces and
reassembling them again, under fire
so heavy that if he had stood upright
he would not have lived five minutes.
He went from one gun to the other,
rolling over and over on the ground,
and comes out of it alive.
When you see your colored fellow
citizens, in or out Of uniform, please
remember that, no matter what you
may think, the white Prussian across
the line has pretty high opinion Of
him.

COUNTRY CAN'T SWALLOW THIS

COUNTRY CAN'T SWALLOW THIS.
According to Senator Mcclellan, of
Tennessee, 80 per cent of the credit
for the production of ships and other
munitions of war belongs to labor,
which, he declares, has been more pa
triotic than any other class of citizens
since the country entered the war.
This sample of the Senator's acumen
will cause the American public to look
askance at any statement he may
make in the future. Senator McCum-
Der, of North Dakota, presented his
argument for the prosecution some
weeks ago, and if anyone desires to
riddle McKellar's statement they
should write to McCumber for a copy
Of his speech. It makes the average
American gasp with indignation. Nc
Cumber quotes specific instances. One
of the chief purposes of extending the
draft to include the ages Is to As was
to meet situations such as McCumber
described.

BONDS OF THE FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN.

Bonds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan are now being turned out by
the thousands daily by the Treasury's
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing.
The bonds are similar in form and
design to those OF the third loan, and
space has been left on each bond for
insertion of the exact terms of the
bonds.
1t is believed that a suf1icient num-
Der Of the bonds will be ready to
make possible immediate delivery of
all bonds Of the fourth loan as they
are purchased.

Of every other people as well. ..
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final: There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision is conceivable.

ENCOURAGING, ISN'T IT?

In the statewide primary held in
West Virginia, three colored men
were nominated on the Republican
ticket in as many counties for mem
bers of the House of Delegates, the
lower branch Of the legislature. The
nominees were: J. v. Coleman, Kim
berly, Fayette county; Harry J. Cape
hart, Keystone, Mcdowell county,
wha county. Mr.. Nutter is a lawyer
and secretary-treasurer of a bank.
The colored population in none of
these counties is one-sixth of the
whole, that of Kanawha being only
about one-tenth.

49, DUBOIS SURRENDER.
Dubois Misrepresents Race as he
Compromises Says Singleton.

Especial to the Pittsburgh Courier,
by Walter J. Singleton.) In an edi-
torial article dealing with the war,
The Crisis for July contains the fol-
lowing advice to colored men.
LET us, while the war lasts, for
get our special grievances and close
our ranks shoulder to shoulder with
our own white fellow citizens and
the allied nations that are fighting for
democracy" f.. .-.-s
The learned Doctor Dubois has sell
dom packed more error into a single
sentence: He says three things in
this sentence: % forget our special
grievances; (2) close our ranks, and
-(3) fight for democracy with our
white fellow citizens and the allied
nations.

Raises False Issue in Order to
Compromise.


Let us consider the last two things
first. Our ranks are already closed;
they have never been open; they are
not open now; they will not be open
in the future. So that the dear doc
tors advice being predicated, as it is,
on the assumption that our ranks are
open, is baseless. The same is true
as to our fighting for democracy.
That is the one thing the colored man
has always desired, prayed and fought
for; he desires, prays and fights for it
now, and will in future desire, pray
and fight for it. Again the dear doc
tor is offering advice where it is not
needed.
How Are We to Forget Our Griev-
ances.
Now as to forgetting our special
grievances? How can we? The
lyncher won't let us. The jim-crower
won't let us. The man who practices
racial prescription won't let us. With
lynchings of colored people averaging
higher than two week, how are we
to forget lynching? With the daily
denials to hundreds of colored people
of the comforts and conveniences of
transportation, how can we forget
jim-crOw cars. When young colored
woman, or man, has qualified for ad-
mission to the civil service of the gov
eminent, and been certified and called,
and is refused appointment when it is
discovered that he or she is of the
colored race, how can we forget racial
prescription? The lyncher, the Jim
| Grower and the racial proscriber keep
these things alive, not we.
No Other Citizens Having Special
Grievances Are Asked by Leaders
to Forget Them.
Then besides no other group of citi-
zens having special grievances are
| being advised by their leaders to for
get them, but to the contrary every
effort is being made to correct them
now This is true as to labor, as to
| woman's suffrage and as to rights of
lrlshmen Why an exception in the
| case of the colored man.
In all charity and seriousness, we
| hope never again to see the pages of
! The Crisis defiled with such stuff as
this To keep the ranks closed and
to fight for democracy means to pro-
test against mob violence, jim-crow
cars and racial prescription. Where
these things exist democracy is not
triumphant.

A GENTLE LIFE.

The suggestion that Secretary
Lansing run for Governor of New
York on the Democratic ticket is one
that constantly creeps out, but we do
not look to see it adopted. Mr.. Lans-
ing is an estimable gentleman, but he
is not exactly the stuff of which po-
litical heroes are made.

This is a free country and if any
one does not like the prominence Col.
Roosevelt has attained by his aggres-
sive advocacy of preparedness and
vigorous prosecution of the war; the
country will be glad to welcome any
number of competitors in the same
line of activity. There is always room
at the top.

The following is an extract from
the resolutions adopted by the confer
ence OF cOlored newspaper editors
held in Washington last week under
the auspices of the War Department
and the Committee on Public Infor-
nation:
We, the thirty-one representatives
OF the Negro press, which has a cir
cu1ation of more than a million
copies, principally among the colored
people of America, and representa-
tives of other activities, wish to af-
firm, first Of all, our unalterable be-
lief that the defeat of the German
Government and what it today repre-
sents is Of paramount Importance to
the welfare of the world in general
and to our people in particular.
We deem it hardly necessary, in
view of the untarnished record of Ne
gro-Americans, to reaffirm our 10y
atty to our country and our readiness
to make every sacrifice to win this
war. We wish, however, as students
and guides of public opinion among
our people, to use our every endeavor
to keep these 100000 people at
the highest pitch, not simply of pas
sive loyalty. but of active, enthusi-
astic, and self-sacrif1cing participa-
ton in the war.

MANY LETTERS
OF PRAISE SENT
TO mrs. HENRY
Telegram to President Wilson,
Printed in Bee, Brings Let
tiers From All Over
the Country.

From east and west, all over the
United States, came letters of praise
to Mrs. Margaret Henry of Omaha
for her telegram to President Will
son, condemning his appeal to the
United States to vote the demo-
cratic ticket last Tuesday. The tel
egram was printed in the Omaha
Sunday Bee a week ago and was
reproduced in the leading newspap-
ers of the country.
Mrs. Henry is owner and acting
manager of Lord Lister hospital in
the absence of her husband, Dr.. E.
c. Henry, and her son in France.
Mrs. Saunders Writes.
Typical of the notes and tele-
grams of appreciation is the follow
ing from Mrs. Fred H. Saunders of
Detroit, Mich, now visiting in CAL
fornia:
"Words fail me to express my ad-
miration and appreciation of your
telegram to the president, copy of
which appeared in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. I believe it ex-
presses the sentiments of millions
Of American people. The dignity
and elegance of your language make
me hesitate to say what the spirit of
it suggests to me and impels me to
say, namely, GO to it, Sal, I'll hold
your bonnet" I feel like cheering
you and playing the Star Spangled
Banner to you. May we hear more
from Mrs. Margaret Henry is the
wish of Rose Saunders"
Three cheers for Mrs. Henry"
came from Some of the western
readers of the Bee"
II feel personal citation and pride
that a woman of Nebraska has thus
ably replied to the recent request of
the president for democratic cleo
tons" wrote Mrs. Ruby D. Kings
bury Of Grand Island.
Receives kilograms.
J.R. Sutherland of Tekamah, Mrs.
A. l.. Horn of Joplin, Mo-, and T.
H. Pollock of Plattsmouth wired
their congratulations.
Omaha can be proud of the stand
you have taken and I feel sure
wherever former Omaha people are
they will feel as I and my family
d." wrote Mrs. D. Drinkwater of
Los Angeles. Cal.
R. c. Peters, Rev. T. ]. Mackay,
Mrs. E. ] Griffin, and Mrs. Lillian
P. Eddy are among the Omahans
endorsing Mrs. Henry's stand. A
One Man Peeved.
One anonymous communication
from Detroit, Mich, was the only
