is no event of Importance happening
at the present time than is not known
from one end of the nation to the

seminate.
Everywhere, editors are displaying
the liveliest and most progressive in

given them an increase in advertising,
and an opportunity to raise rates, and
hence it has at last reached the delight
full point where Race journalism has
become a paying investment.

EMMETT J. SCOTT QUITS.

Washington, D. c., April 23.-Upon
the highest authority it is declared
that Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Assistant
Secretary Of War, will leave his posi-
ton as Secretary of War on July /,
1919. That he will go back to Tus-
kegee for a period at least, as Secre-
tary is prophesied, but that he will
permanently remain there is ques-
toned. There have been many allur-
ing offers made to Mr.. Scott to enter
large business corporations in the
North, but these, lit seems, have been
uniformly turned down.
The offer, however, which is still
open, and which rumor persists in
having him accept, is that or a direct.
ing official or cashier in a colored
bank that has long been in contem.
plation in New York. That rumor
connects the names of Bankers Brown
and Stevens, of Philadelphia, with the
enterprise. That Tuskegee can i'll af
ford to lose it's most efficient secrer
tary and one of the most level-headed
and %far-seeing diplomats Of the race
all agree. But that a series of circum
stances both at Washington and Tus
kegee have made this change possible
if not probable, those who know de
clare certain.

RACE MUST WORK.
By Chas. Stewart.

Washington, D. C.-"The Negroes
Place in American civilization must
be won by himselfe and he must not
depend on others is the declaration
made by the National Race Confer
ence through the Executive Committee
at a reception given to DR.. w. H. Jer-
nagin at Mt. Carmel Baptist church
last Friday night. The occasion being
DR.. ~Jernagin's return from France
where he represented the Conference
in the Pan African Conference and at
the Peace Conference.
Every section of the country was
represented at the Board meeting, and
oyer two thousand people attended the
reception at Mt. Carmel church Friday
night presided over by DR.. Calls. Spec
ial music was rendered by the choir
of Mt. Carmel church, and then follow
ed the report of DR.. Jernagin, who was
the only man sent by an organization
over to France. He said hat the large
crowd was to him a source of inspira-
ton, and from the greeting, he was de-,
termined to do more than ever for his
race.
He was sorry to say that in many in
stances the Negro, especially of the
labor batallions had not received a
square deal in France, and the white
officers had carried their race prejud-
ice into France and had not failed to
exhibit it when the occasion present
ed itself. But | thank God ! am able
to say to you that in the face of all of
this our boys discharged their duty
and were heroes. Some of them
died, and at the command marched
into death like they were going into
a banquet hall. The world will give
them credit of being soldiers"
DR.. Jernagin told of his experience
in getting over to France, his exper-
fence after he got over there, what he
had seen On the battlefields andin the
trenches. and how he was received
by the men over there. His address
was punctuated with outbursts of ap-
plauses, and concluding he made a
strong appeal to every man and woman
to rally to themselves, to the call of
their race.

Chinese Children at PLAY.

Chinese boys and girls are just as
fond of toys and games as the chill
dren of other lands, although to look
at their solemn little faces you would
hardly think so. The little Chinese
boy has a big pocket in the front of
his p%inafore hat he loves to fill with
all sorts of things-bits of string, a
top, coins and especially candy. His
sweetmeats are very hard, some of
them like u rock candy, but they
taste good to him. He also likes the
queer nuts, melon seeds and bits of
sugar cane that he buys in the streets
from a man who goes round with two
baskets hanging from a pole that he
carries across his shoulders. The
toys that the children buy, also from
a man in the street, are generally
cheap figures Of animals or of human
beings, made Of clay or paper.

Nature is n nOiseless worker. You
cannot hear the pumps which are send
ing the sap from the roots of the great
oak tree into its topmost twig, but
they are busy day and night, just the
same. You may lie with your ear to
the ground. but you will listen vainly
for any rustling ms the grass and
weeds and flowers rise from the win
ter's long hivouac and fail into line.
The apple tree sounds no trumpets,
but how beautiful the banners she
throws to the breeze. And all this
noiseless activity brings home the
truth some of you have already dis
covered, that the workers who make
the most noise are not necessarily the
ones who accomplish the most.-Glrrs
Companion.
