We have never known two injus-

Saturday News has prospered by be.
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone Of half.cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We arc not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because q majority of white people
will always side with white man
when question arises between him
and one Of our colori still certain col.

cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive Justice is to be Just yourself.

JAPANESE STATESMAN
PREDICTS WAR ON
RACE PREJUDICE
Former Nippon Minister Of Justice De.
cIares Progressive Dusky Races
Of World Will Not Forever
Stand for Discrimination.

Toxic, Nov. 20.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. Belief that the
next war will be the outcome or race
prejudices is expressed by Yukio
Ozaki, formerly Minister of Justice.
and q leading member Of the Constitu-
tional party. Mr.. Ozah said that, in
his opinion, the colored races which
steadily were developing their civili-
zation would demand finally the same
treatment as the white races, and that
the result would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that at the
peace conference Japan, acting on be-
half of all the Asiatic races, should
introduce the racial and population
questions for consideration, and If pos
sible, secure q solution.
In country like japan, where the
population is increasing with alarm
ing rapidity, he said, it was but natur-
al that the surplus population should
try to obtain an outlet even by resort.
ing to arms. From Japan's standpoint,
said Mr.. Ozaki, the racial or popula.
ton questions were more important
than President Wilson's fourteen
points" as laid down for a basis Of
Germany's surrender. These racial
questions, he said, concerned the fu-
ture of millions of souls in Asia.
Mr.. Ozak warned the Japanese not
to develop the German system of state
organization, which in the present war
had proved to be mere machine for
destroying civilization and for tramp
ling under foot the rights of other ma
tions and peoples.
On the question Of Japan's occupa-
ton Of the German South Sea Islands,
Mr.. Ozaki declared that the United
States should dismantle her forts In
the Philippines and Hawaii, and that
this would be more important for
Japan than the taking over of the
South Sea Islands. 5.

To be Successful

What are the qualifications of a
$25,000 a year man? What is de-
manded of him9
Well, the man who earns $4,000
to $4,000 a year must first of all
know his business from the ground
up Large salaries are paid because
of ability to so systematic and or.
eanize that the same effort will pro.
duce greater results. and so organize
operations that neither effort nor
material time is wasted. Mere
drivers are not valuable. 1t is Or
ganiZation, system. ease and COM
fort in operation with production
that is valuable.
He must be absolutely efficient;
that is, he must have ability, judg-
ment, courage, enthusiasm, selfcon-
fidence, energy, initiative, foresight
experience, a great knowledge OF
human nature and personality
enough to be real leader of men
He must take infinite pains in
small things as we'll as in large. He
must demand of himself as well as
of others nothing but the best.
He must win and retain the con-
fidence and friendship of his su
periors. his associates. and bis
subordinates.
He must always be ready to TAKE
responsibility, to decide quickly, and
he must be right more than hal
the time.
With all that he must have back
bone and a real desire not only t
excel but also to serve.
OF course, a man has to earn {
big salary before we can pay it; buI
we are only too anxious to pay il
to men who can earn it.-Theodor,
N. Vail.

The Holiday Trade

The time has come for the people
of Monroe City to buy their Christ
mas gifts. The quicker they get
these purchases out of the way,
the better it will be for themselves
and everyone else.
The former habit of the American
people, in buying an enormous
quantity of gift material during the
last two weeks before Christmas,
and then clogging the mails and ex-
press services by this tremendous
traffic of holiday stuff. has been
foolish, wasteful. unnecessary, and
inhuman.
1t has meant a period of great
WEAKNESS and exhaustion for post
al, express, and railroad employees
and for store clerks 10 establish
ments catering largely to this trade.
These faithful workers dread this
annual time of hurry and worry.
Many people get sick annually as
the result of the fatigue of this
period.
The public subject themselves to
inconvenience as the result of this
habit, and we are annoyed by hav-
ing to wait to have their business
attended to.
Sensible people keep on the watch
for Christmas gifts all through the
year. Those who have not done SO
should this day make out a list of
the presents they expect to make,
and if possible buy them at once
That would leave the last two weeks
clear for the large class who have
no ready money, and can not an
ticipate their wants.
The kind and considerate way to
dispatch Christmas gifts. is to begin
sending them several weeks ahead

Christmas"
People who buy now will FIND
better goods, they will get the cream
of the stocks, they will not have to
take stuff that Others have paved
over and selected from. The Buy
Early policy works for the conven
fence of everyone and all it takes is

Trapping Season

A big demand for furs of all kinds
is reported. Last year it was thought
the top notch of prices had been
reached. but it is predicted that
prices this winter will 90 far be,

the people have the money to buy
it.
Trapping is followed with keen
zest by great numbers of boys and
men, not merely for the money in
it. but from the fun of matching theiI
wits against animal instinct, 1t
supplies a vast amount of clothing
material. and helps keep the worlC
