Last week we wrote upon Frederick
Douglass declaration, "The Republican
Party, the ship-An Else the Sea-"
Since that time we have had occasion
to note in q certain weekly such head
lines as these, "Poliee Club Citizens
Recklessly-two are killed; many in
juredI" obnoxious signs drive men
from government work." ETC., as well
as an editorial in this same weekly
wherein the Negro is tacitly advised to
vote the Democratic ticket. In our ar
ticle Of last week we had occasion to
close with these words, "perhaps some
who read this article will have reasons
to recall their leaving the Southland
where the Democratic Party is in full
control Of every branch of the county,
state and national government, for .
refuge in Republican Illinois," And
it now occurs to us that these headlines
in this erstwhile Democratic sheet or
weekly is self evident Of the cause that
has made Republican Illinois the South
ern Negroes new found home, for these
occurrences heralded by these head
lines were all in Democratic territory
and performed by Democratic officials
against the Negro, and that too in
places where the Negro assumes to be
a Democrat. OF course all well in
formed know that there are no Negro
Democrats allowed in the South; the
Democratic party there is for white
men only, and recently in the United
States Senate a Democrat from Missis-
sippi opposed woman suffrage solely be-
cause it would enfranchise Negro
women. A few years ago in New York,
a few job hunting Colored men who
could not be Democrats in the South

through q period Of Life, grows cool,
then dark and dead, and ultimately

Price of Clothing and the
Supply of Wool Since Under
Control of the Government

Somewhat In contrast to repeated
declarations that wooden clothes viii
be scarce Is an Official announcement
from the war industries board, which
says that the government control Of
wool and woolens has reached a stage
(which makes possible the assurance
to cloth mills and to clothing manufac-
turers, Jobbers and retailers that wool
win be equitably distributed to meet
both government and civilian require
ments. The price win be regulated 10

the industry, but a range Of prices WIN
not be permitted which win allow alb

itustifable hardship to the consuming

Especially does the statement insist
that there are ample stoeks Of wool
ems and no cause for imitation. No
dealer should try to buy beyond his
present needs, II u asserted, because
there Il no reason for II. This signif-
icant announcement Il made: there
is no official warrant for statements or
rumors to the effect that It VIII soon
be impossible TO buy woolens or wool
en- clothing sufficient to meet actual re-
quirements OF the civilian population"
An Of which ought 70 bring relief 10
the people. One Of the reasons for an
advance In clothing for both men and
women Is the higher price Of findings.
Tailors cannot make clothes as cheap

there seems no reason for the rumor
that wooden clothing Is about on the

prices are necessary for fan and next
