And so through the long, dark,
dreary days of slavery, disfranchise-
ment, segregation, lynching for pas
time, aye burning at the stake. The
character of the American Negro has
risen steadily to recognition by that
great judge of the world, Public
Opinion. Yes, denied the right to
claim possession of a soul, classed with
the lower animals, held up to the world
as brute, subjected to public derision
and scorn, crushed by intense race
hatred, yet and at last the American
Negro by the evidence of his character
has justified the faith in his work held
by his few friends and is beginning to
compel the greater part of the Amer.
ican people to see that he is human
being like Shakespeare's Jew, and nc
better nor worse than the civilization
he is in cantact with. And then wher

The above clipping speaks for itself.
However, it presents to the thinking
Negro wolrd q serious situation. Ma
ior Motion is over in France at the
instance of the Wilson administration
He was chosen to go because he ac-
cepts the attitude of the South. to-
ward the Negro in this country and is
willing to be used to help keep the
spirit of cringing alive in the breast
of colored people everywhere, AS a
tool in the hands of the present ad-
ministratiou Major Motion, by reason
of his connection with Tuskegee
school as the successor to the late
Booker r. Washington, demands au-
dience wherever he speaks and what
he says carries weight with it. Amer
ica's attitude toward the black peo-
pie, as shown by the present admins
tration, is causing concern in France.
The denunciation by the administra-
tion of lynching and lynchers was a
sop for foreign consumption during
the war and Zip phrase" to soothe
colcred people. Beyond this denuncf-
alton, nothing has been done. Before
the brutal horde of Southern barbar-
ians, constituents of the present ad-
ministration and the backbone of the
Democratic party, this pronuncia-
mento was nothing more than words.
Lynching of colored people took on
renewed activity. Major Motion lives
in Alabama, where they do not allow
his wife, so said with his approval, to
ride in a Pullman car. Major Motion
prefers to bow to Southern vicious
ness and brutality rather than take
his stand with liberty loving people
and denounce the fiends for their in
humanity. He is very dangerous
man in France at this time so far as
the cause of Negro liberty everywhere
is concerned. His obtruding himself
and his advice upon soldiers, the pick
of the American army abroad, is an
insult as we'll as crime against de
mocracy. Motion, as man, may rep
resent his Southern bosses, but he
does not represent the black soldier
nor the black patriot anywhere. ANY

Editor n. Y. Globe: l wish to enter
a protest against the action of Dr.
Motion, who is now in France at the
instance of the administration to ad-
wise the Negro troops over there to
behave themselves like gentlemen and
thus leave a good impression upon
the people of France. DR. Motion will
find that this part of his mission to
France is unnecessary. The Negroes
in the Army in France have given
their commander no cause for com
plant on this score. The French peo-
pie and French newspapers have
spoken in high praise of 2 their con-
duct. 1t is gratuitous insult to the
character of these men to send Dr.
Motion or any other Negro to France
to teach them good morals.
DR.. Motion is quoted as saying that
the Africans are incapable of self-gov-
ernment If he means the Africans in
Africa, along the gold coast, the west
coast, Basutoland, Barotse land, etc,
l can tell him that he Is srossly mis-
taken, and that he is libeling the char
acter of these intelligent blacks who
have for years demonstrated their
ability for self government along
native lines. DR.. Motion is hardly the
man to pass judgment on the capacity
of the African blacks for self-govern-
ment He does not know any more
about Africa and the Africans, nor as
much. as the American delegates who
are relying on him to advise them on
this subject. JOHN f. BRUCE.

STORING AWAY ROOTS.

Dear. Social Corner Sisters: It may help some Of you to learn how others keep their flower roots over winter.
 sDahlias. gladiolas and cannas should be: put in winter storage before the ground. freezes. Any time after the first killing frost and before the ground becomes frozen will do.
 The tubers of these plants may be stored in any place that potatoes can safely be carried over the winter. The plants should be cut about foot above ground and the bulbs allowed to re- main a few days after this operation. This permits the tubers to utilize the plant food In the remaining portion of the stem.
 A dry. sunshiny day should be se- lected for lifting the etubers. These should be left. on the surface few hours so that they may dry thorough ly.. Each 5tuber should be carefully tagged, indicating the name and va riety. This, is best done by using a tree labels with wire. putting the wire through the tyber rather than around the stem. After drying. the stems of the dah5ias may. be cut back to four or five inches. The stems of cannas and gladiolas will come of when thor ougiiy dry
 The storage room should be moder- atelv dry with a temperature of 40 tc 1 50 degrees. The tubers may be placed or piled with stems down in a barre or box nr piled loosely on the floor During the winter they should be ex- 1 srnined ocea sional1y to make sure that 1 they are not being damaged. 1 Little roots should be put in a boz Of sand. as they keep better.

Dear Social Corner Friends: Please accept these lonely verses of Mar zaret E. Sangster, as expressive of our hearts true feelings and trust the Editor, A. P. and Uncle Charlie. will read between the lines.
 Sincere Eood wiehes from NELEH. Beside the blow He walks with me. And If my step be slow. He pauses, waiting, so that He. Can lead me where l go. I feel His presence at my side, His hand upon my hair, His love sweeps boundIess like the
 tide,
 About me every where. Beside the blow He walks with me, cut the furrows deep. ! know His gentle eyes will see The harvest that I reap. His guiding touch is on my arm, And well know the care That keeps me safe from sin and
 harm, Is with me every wherei Beside the Dlow He walks with me, And all my troubles sweeps
 Away. I know that there will be No time to pine or weep. My very oxen seem to feel
 The ransom in the air; The love that lives to bless and heal Surrounds me everywhere. Beside the blow He walks with me, And Lo. the sun shines down, The same which smiles on Galilee, And on a thorny crown. God. grant that when the shadow
 creep
 Across the mountains fair, Hls love may still be wide and deer About me every where.

never discloses our troubles and who assumes us He will make our burdens light!
 And why do not more cast their burdens upon Him. think you? They are told to do it believingt Believing what? The promise that He will make their burdens light.
 When we believe, we trust; and when we trust the truth is revealed to us! To a9kieve anything in life we must comHE with the conditions. These have been made plain that we may not fail.
 If we insist upon intensifying grief and refuse to recognize The Comfort CT we must suffer all the torments which we and the devil Of distrust are able to create.
 We not only have someone to help US bear our burdens. but you see we have someone to help. us make them ten times worse: and the devil of Dis trust catches too many of us.
 Here's praying believing that our hope and our faith may be strength- ened, and that we may qualify to avail ourselves of the help of the One who yearns to relieve us of our affiic- tions.
