THE WHITE FOLKS" NEGRO.
An Editorial

An Editorial
1t is very regrettable that we have
in Kansas City small class Of
people, known as the white Folks"
Negro. They are not only set
back and detriment to themselves,
but they are hindrance and a dis
grace to their race as well. This
does not simply apply to some OF
our men, but few of our women as
we'll
The small number of Negro men
and women in Kansas City who fall
under this head will soon be publicly
dead. He can not withstand the on
slaught Of the masses of Negroes,
for he is against them in their cry
for justice. He is against his race
for selfish motives and selfish gains.
He is also against the dictates of
God in opposing the securing of the
just rights of the Negro in this
country.
The White Folks" Negro is one
who stands with hat in hand end a
grin upon his face; he is ore who is
against any movement started by his
people, regardless Of it's merit and
the good it will do his race. He
believes that no movement will be
successful unless started by White
men and he himself acting as their
figure head; that is, with no thoughts
of his own, but simply catspaw and
traitor to his race.
What air-minded Negro is against
movement that has for its object
and purpose the securing Of life, lib
erty, property and the pursuit of
happiness for his people? What
respectable and progressive Negro
wants to be "cooped" up in jim
Crow Cars? What intelligent Negro
wishes to continue in the loathsome
state of Acknowledgement which is
simply taxation without represen-
tation? What ed-blooded Ameri-
can Negro wants to continue to see
his people mobbed and lynched?
Any Negro who is against such a
just cause is not fit to hold the pub.
lie confidence and should be looked
upon with contempt and scorn by his
fellow-men.
Then, one other thing to bear
in mind--What would the white pep
pie think if they learned that there
are Negroes who are base enough 70
fight a movement that is meant for
their own good? 1t is true that
the White Man uses the white
Folks Negro" whenever he needs
him, but deep down in his heart he
despises him. No man likes a
coward and traitor, and that is
what the term white Folks Negro"
signifies. Trust not the Negro, big
or small, who is against any move
ment for the good of his people.
Shun him and heed him not, for he
is dangerous.
We clip the above from Protest.
1t is the sentiment Of the Blade and
we wish to say Bro. Editor that this
same class is to be found in Madi-
Editors.

THORITY TO POSTPONE
GRAND LODGE MEETING.
Case Parallel With Fight of Newly
Elected Officers of Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows - Court
Awards Masonic Offices to Off
Gals Elected by Grand Lodge
Held Under Regular Call.

A decision has been handed down
by the Supreme Court Of West Vir-
GINA in the case of Hundley and
others, officials elected at Grand
Lodge held in obedience to the or
ders of the previous Grand Lodge,
but attempted TO be set aside by the
then Grand Master In this case the
question is brought directly in issue
whether an executive officer of 4
corporate body has the authority to
postpone or set aside an annual
meeting or convention called and
fixed by the laws Of the body.
The following il the decision:
LYNCH, JUDGE:
The REALTORS seek the aid of the
writ Of mandamus to compel re-
spondents to deliver to them posses
sions of all the records, record
books, minutes, proceedings, moneys
and all other property or properties
or things of any kind whatsoever
belonging to the Grand Lodge of
colored Masons Of this state, which
have come into and are in the hand s
Of the respondents, who claim to be
officers Of the lodge and who hold
the property by virtue of such
claim.
The respondent, A. f. Goodwin,
was elected Grand Master Of the
colored Masons Of West Virginia at
the regular annual communication
the word communication being the
Masonic equivalent Of the word
meeting-of the Grand Lodge held
at Clarksburg in June, 1917, and the
respondents, Trert and Hughes, re-
spectively Grand Treasurer and
Grand Secretary of the Grand
Lodge, at which communication
Huntington was elected as the
place for the next ensuing annual
communication of the Grand Lodge,
the time therefore being fixed by
the constitution thereof, at which
time and place the REALTORS claim to
have elected respectively as the sue
cessors of each Of the respondents,
which succession or the right there
to the latter deny, basing their de-
NAL upon the proclamation Of the
respondent Goodwin as the then
Grand Master Of Masons dispensing
with or calling off" the Huntington
communication because of war con-
ditions then prevailing in this coun-
try.

WOULD RETAIN OFFICERS
TAKEN FROM CIVIL LIFE
Gen. Answell Suggests Changes in
System at Harvard Club
Dinner.

Retention in the Army Of many of
the officers obtained from civil life
for the great war. was suggested last
night by Gen. s. T. Answell. acting
judge advocate general. in a talk at
the thirtN-sixth annual dinner Of the
Harvard Club Of Washington at
Rauscher's.
Gen. Answell said the bringing in
Of these officers had added more of the
human element to the Army and made
for greater effectiveness in the fight
ing qualities of the men. In this con-
nection he suggested change in the
system of education at West Point so
as to bring in more of the human ele-
ment. The present system, he init
mated, comprising a complexity of
mathematics, physics and military tao
tics has had a tendency to make the
Regular Army more like a machine.
With the retention Of much of the
material obtained from civil life as Of
ficers in the Army and this change in
the training at West Point, Gen. Ans
well believed, much will have been
done toward making the United States
Army the strongest in the world.
1.-The future officers must not be ma
chimes, but human beings. and If the
officers of the Regular Army do not
ficer he will have missed the eppor-
tunity to make the American Army
the greatest in the world" said Gen.
Ansen
AT West Point we were taught that
system was the all-important thing.
We didn't have time to teach it to
new officers, and as a result we had
an Army of individuals working as a
whole instead of as a machine the
old-time idea of what an Army should
be,
THE utilizing of great deal Of the
material that has been brought into
the Army, and taking them into the
regular establishment will do away
with the system as it is, as 1t has been
followed for years. and it is the sys-
tenn We want to get away from II we
want the Army to become indomita-
ble"
Clifford H Moore professor Of Latin
at Harvard, who represented the fac
ulty at the dinner, said the university
officials had decided to put into oper-
alton any future military plan ap-
proved by Congress. He announced
that the faculty plans already had
been made to introduce an artillery
unit at the university the coming
year. He added that a degree will be
granted every student who completes
three-fourths of his course before
entering the service.
Harvard, he said, had contributed as
it's quota to the great war. $4,000 de-
gree holders, of whom 27S fell in bat
tie. The university. he asserted. con-
4siders Col. Roosevelt among it's de-
gree holders, who died in the war,
and it has so honored him. His spirit,
said the speaker. still lives with Har-
ward as though he went to the front.

EXAMINE U-BOAT CHAsERS.
Greek Naval Authorities Inspect
American Vessels in Adriatic.

PARIS, January 9.-Greek naval au-
thorities have been examining Ameri-
can submarine chasers which have been
in the Adriatic sea, with a view to
their purchase. The Greek navy al
ready has two former American bat
tleships and experts in the service
favor a further augm entation of the
feet with the American craft.
A fleet of thirtysiX chasers was
sent to the Adriatic to cooperate with
the cruisers Olympia and Birmingham
and eight destroyers in carrying out
America's part in the execution of the
provisions of the armistice with Ans
tria. The chasers are now at Malta
for overhauling, but in the meantime
the Greek government is making
overtures for their purchase. The
proposals may be entered, as the
close of the war makes it probable
that there will be little further need
of the chasers. which are particularly
suited for navigation in shallow
waters like those of the Greek
archipelago.

The North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association, at meeting in
the Emery School last night. adopted
resolutions resenting the attack
which Senator Sherman of Illinois
made on the people of the District in

The action was taken following an
address by w. E. Westlake, president
of the Federation of Citizens Associa

speech
II don't know how you in this
locality feel about the question of

Kills Their Hopes.

IF President Wilson is correctly re-
ported he confesses openly that he,
too, like Premier Clemenceau and
Lloyd George, does not desire Ger
many in the future community of
nations as an equal among equals,
but as u nation watched by over
seers. The President canot
wonder if people in Germany gradual
ly begin to form the opinion that the
hopes they placed in him are to be
disappointed
The socialist newspaper Vorwaerts,
in commenting on the report regard
ing the division of the German colon
les among the allied nations, says:
The league of nations is making a
lovely beginning! The decision of the
western powers to take the German
colonies Ior themselves is born of a
spirit Numerically opposed to that
proclaimed by President Wilson. It
appears more and more as if it were
the intention of the western imperial
lists to leave to Mr.. Wilson the mere
~ musical and declamatory roles of
the performance and to reserve to
themselves the business end of the
show. We Germans would
prefer an honest policy of stand and
deliver. 20 a policy of imperial ag-
grandiZement adorned with ethical
and oratorical phrases But since
America has not yet agreed to the
pact we shall later see whether Amer
lea can do anything except make
