REVIEW OF EMMETT SCOTS
HISTORY.

We have just completed the copy
OF SCOTS Official History of the
American Negro in the World War"
This copy sent us by the L. w.
Walter Co., of Chicago, has furnished
us with many bits OF concrete infor-
nation concerning the part played
by the BLACK Sons Of America, for
which we have long waited.
We feel that much credit is due
the author, Emmett ]. Scott, and
his contributors and assistants for
the accuracy and at the same time,
interesting sequence OF arrangement
OF records Of this volume.
We feel that it will furnish much
valuable information to members of
the Race that otherwise would have
been lost to them. And we are glad
that this information is dependable.
II should be In the home Of every
Negro. Thoughtful parents may
make II serve useful purpose as
corollary to the American history
which their children will study in
time to come.
We consider this real history !;
one that deserves to become a part
of any mans library and we take
pleasure in recommending 1t to our
readers.

THE HAYWARD MOTOR CORPS.

The only Colored women's motor
Corps in the world is that OF the
Hayward Unit. a. branch of the Ma
tional League for Womens Service
in New York City. Forty members
of the motor corps devote large
part of their time to the soldiers.
Three ambulances, two buses, and a
dozen cars owned by members are
used in the transportation service.
Every day the trim khaki-colored
ambulances may be seen standing
in front of hospital entrances, ready
for load of convalescents to be
taken to the races at Sheepshead or
Jamaica, Go a baseball game at the
Polo Grounds, or on Seeing New
York Tourp
Chinatown, the Ghetto. Wall Street,
Riverside Drive, and Coney Island
are interesting sights for the boy who
has never before crossed the Mason
and Dixon Line. There is no form
of recreation that the Colored boy
enjoys more than to see the largest
city in the world, and to have its
wonders pointed out to him. Debar-
kation Hospital No. 5, the Polytechnic,
and the Messiah Home for she'll
shocked men, contribute hundreds of
soldiers weekly to these trips. OFF,
Gals of the hospitals are pleased
with the arrangement as an aid to
speedy convalescence; they declare
that with new thoughts to occupy
the minds of the patients their work
is greatly facilitated. Also they are
secure In the knowledge that their
charges will have excellent care while
enjoying the outings. that they will
be brought back on time, and that
there is no danger of mishaps.

MIR. McDoNALDs LETTER.

During the past week much COM
ment has been caused by the public
fty given Hon. VIM. McDonald's
"open Letter" to the Republican
state Executive Committee. In this
letter Mr.. Mcdonald points out the
value to the party Of discarding the
Terrell Election Law by which
the Democratic party in Texas is
governed, and OF adopting the County
representation basis. He advocates.

organization;
] vote for every $50 votes cast
for the Republican candidate for
president in 1916; provided, no Coun-
~ shall be entitled to cast vote
In any Convention where there is
no Republican County Organization,
This plan would give total of
sos delegates in the State Convent
ion as against 131 by the other
plan.
Mr.. Mcdonald is one Of the Oldest
and most prominent politicians OF
the state and as such has made a
close study of conditions. The plan
which he advocates will allow for
the recognizing of Negroes under
the old Republican banner and their
representation in the manipulation
OF Texas Republican affairs. The
Evening Journal of this city dis
cussed this letter very favorably and
II is expected that 1t will be given
serious attention during the discus

-massing Of Republican forces in
Texas.
Conditions point to a close con-
test as to whether Texas will be one
of the "doubtfuls" in the coming
campaign. II must be remembered
that almost 10000 Republicans have
been attracted to Texas oil fields and
as their business interests are here
there political influence will also
be exercised here.

QUELLING THE BEAST.

Omahas furious spasm of mob rage
is a disgrace to that city and to
America.
When the mob ravens. civilization
ceases to exist in its members. The
millennipms roll back and the beast
and brute in mans guise crawl forth.
And when that comes to pass every
thing and every institution builded
through the ages is placed in danger.
The mob fails, in its brute actions,
to serve the ends it avows as justi-
fication for its acts. 1t is a truth
as old as mans efforts at govern
ment that the most powerful deter
rent to crime is the swift and inex-
orable, sure process of law that
not rich nor poor, nor weak nor
strong.
The answer to the brute in the in
divldual is stern and relentless pun
lshment inflicted by the ordered force
OF masteriG utilization in the mass.
Brutishnees breeds brutishness. So
in the first instance, the mob is born:
but the brute answer to brute ont.
rage is more brutishness. and so the
vicious descending round goes on.
Omaha furnishes the terrible ex-
ample of that truth.
What happened was no mere con-
dign and informal punishment of q
captured beast that had committed
tne unforgivable sin against society.
IL was the raging of mob that to
reach lts prey, trampled upon every
part of the whole structure of govern
ment-turned. it's fury upon those
sworn to uphold the law and risked
the lives of men and women limo
cent IN all particulars of affront to
the law or affront to the mob.
The beast must be quelled in the
individual and in the mob.
To that end must be mustered the
best thought Of both races
Inc Negroes are cursed today by
a tribe of scribblers whose screeds
serve only to breed racial prejudice
ana resentment among whites as
wei as among blacks. The FIRST
business OF the Negro who would mt
an end to lynchings is to uueIl the
rest in the individuals of his own
race to prevent bestiality where nos
sible, to help detect and punish beasts
wnen the acts of beasts are commit
The first business Of the white is
TO see that the machinery of cold
Justice moves quickly to its task on
each occasion, and that the mob is
given neither excuse nor pardon

eide whether to cross the Atlantic

of Greenland and Iceland. It will
also be Tor them to decide whether
to cross the Pacific from Toxic to
