German Junkerism,

A. story comes from Berlin to the
effect that a young army lieutenant
has recently committed suicide in con
ditions that reveal a profitable secret
organization of junkerS. 1t seems that
this man was Il member of an oath
bound society, pledged, it is believed
to the restoration of the monarchy. A
spendthrift, he exhausted his patri.
mony in loose living, and while in
straits for funds betrayed the plans
of the restorationists to the govern.
ment. This is one of the reasons why
the Won kapp reaction failed, for the
Ebert organizat ton was ready to resist
it. During the past few months the
junker-bund has been ferreting out
the line of leakage and finally, it is
understood, traced the betrayal to this
young officer. He was notified that
his death by suicide was decreed. If
he did not kill himself he would be
slain. His own father, the story runs,
being one of the organization, con-
veyed the information to him. He
weakened and received a second warn
ing, and finally, pressed with last
notice. he took his own life lately in
Berlin.
This tragic tale is not beyond belief.
The junker spirit is strong in Ger.
many. 1t is altogether likely that it
will persist for years. 1t may never
be eXterminated. And while it re-
mains it will promote secret sedition.
The idea Of a mysterious, oath-bound
society, its members perhaps not
known to one another, working on
mystic symbols and signs, with codes
for communication, is not fantastic.
The kaiser-thought is deeply ingrained
in the German nature and it would
indeed be surprising if there were no
such undersurface movements. 1t is
possible without condoning any of the
offenses of Germany to sympathize
somewhat with the present govern
ment, beset by both bolshevism and
junkerism. But not to the point of
accepting this dual danger as reason
for any remission of penalty or equit-
able reparation in favor of the victims
of German aggression and thwarted
political greed.

A Period of Impatience.

Mr.. Hardings initial trouble Will
spring from the impatience that eN-
lists both in this country and in Eu-
rope. Everything, everywhere Is
very much awry. Two years a1ter
the signing of the armistice condl-
tions are still unsettled. In some
quarters grumbling has swelled into
a rage. People want their distresses
relieved fright off the bat, like that
The argument is this: Ever since
election day Mr.. Harding has been
comforting with leading men and
women of both parties as to the home
situation and the world situation. and
what is demanded for setting things
right again. Why, then, should he
not be ready with his remedies, and
apply them at once after taking
charge?
The answer is that the matter Is
not SO simple as that. Far from 1t.
The proposition is the stiffest and most
far-reaching ever presented to an
American President. 1t cannot be
settled off-hand, while you wait. Con-
ditions, both at home and abroad, are
the result of the greatest upheaval in
history. DisIocations are universal,
and some of them go to the founda-
tions.
1t is going to take time to settle so
much that is so unsettled. If Mr..
Harding were superman, and his lieu
tenants of like caliber, deliberation
would still be necessary in dealing
with problems so new and so COM
plex. But he makes no such preten-
sions, and is not expecting anything
Of q supernature from the men he is
calling to his side.
Let us, then, hold our horses. And
let Europe hold her horses. A bad
start would be a great deal worse than
. slow start. For when we start we
want to keep on keeping on" The
right direction, therefore, is every
thing.

Congress in a Drive,

Congress is hard at work. Evident
ay the leaders on Capitol Hill are de-
sirous Of complying with Mr.. Hard
ing's request. They want to clear the
table by noon of March 4.
There need never be a jam in either
House or Senate. Both bodies are
wen organized for business. The rules
Of both. when properly applied. facili-
tate the transaction Of business.
The trouble is that both bodies at
the beginning Of every session start
on slowly. They seem to feel that
they have time to sell. Even at the
short session. which is limited to three
months, there is little show of in.
dustry until several weeks have
passed. -
1t is strange that experience has not
corrected this. A jam does harm all
around. Bills of merit are lost, while
bills that pass are sometimes injured
by the hurry necessary to put them
through.
Supply bills in particular should
never be hurried. Every item should
be scrutinized and explained. A guard
against "jokers' should always be
rigid.
In such circumstances as now ex.
list, legislative processes on Capitol
Hui afford very interesting study.
Jockeying, like bluffing, is an art; and
only an artist in that line can play
the game with credit and success.
II Mr.. Harding has his wish, and
the Sixty-seventh Congress is not
burdened with hangovers from it's
predecessor, the special session should
give an excellent account of itself.

merchant fleets, and by doing so have
scored heavily for themselves.
As a sea carrier on a large scale,
Uncle Sam viii need to study his prob
lem. He is no stranger in that line,
but since he figured with profit and
distinction in it conditions have

much to learn; and especially when
the accomplishments and up-to-date-
ness Of the company he will be keep
ing are taken into account.
We want to win in this venture. A
great deal depends upon it, and Mr..
Harding does not unduly magnify its
value.

Mr.. Harding's Cabinet.

The general and fair-minded ver-
dict on the new cabinet will be that
it is as good as reasonable men could
have expected. 1t is not a cabinet Of
all the talents, but nobody in his po-
litical senses supposed that it would
be. Mr.. Harding is amiably of the
opinion that the country will be
proud of his cabinet. The proba-
see what the cabinet does to give
reason for pride. But there will be
no hesitation in approving the major
appointments. with the exception OF
that of Attorney General. If Mr..
Hoover finally decides to cast in his
he will add to it a great reputation
a kind Of glamour-which should more
than offset the dislike of him mani
tested by many politicians.

net the American people are more

glittering array Of SURPRISING intel
lects. but it looks like a good work.

ALL LOUISIANA HEALTH WEEK
FOR NEGROES.
CONTINUED from page y

i 4%s6O
| Thursday, April 7th, is Tubercu-
losis Day in Health Week. Even
one whole day is very little to give
to this matter Of tuberculo
In Louisiana there are seven hun
dred thousand colored people. In
1919 nearly seventeen hundred Of
them died of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption.
| Because we negroes have not been
able to get information, and because
we often did not make use of the
information we did get, this disease
is spreading among the people Of our
race. It must stop.
There is hardly one Of use that
has not relative or friend die of
this disease. See the long weeks
and months people have to suffer
unable to support themselves Or their
| families because of it.
For every person who dies OF
tuberculosis there are nine living
people who have it. That means
shere are nearly twenty thousand ne
groes in Louisiana who have it.
Many who have it don't even know
| it. Sometimes they feel weak and
tired, they lose their appetites, fall
off in weight and have other COM
plants, but they never think that
these are many times caused by
tuberculosis starting its dreadful
work.
Are you not willing to do some
thing to keep yourself and your fam
lily from getting tuberculosis?
Whatever you do to keep yourself
strong will help others. In the same
way whatever you do to help others,
protects you too.
Nearly every parish in Louisiana
now has an organized tuberculosis
people. But they know that they
cannot fight tuberculosis if the color
ed people do not help. Go to the
secretary of your parish league and
get information. Ask If they will
give you something to read that will
tell you just what tuberculosis is;
how it spreads; how you can find
out if you have it; how and when
you should be examined; how and
what to eat, how to sleep, work, rest
and all the other. things you can
find out.
Every one of these parish leagues
would be glad to have committee
of colored citizens to help with the
work of fighting tuberculosis among
the negroes.
Don't sit back waiting for the
other fellow to 60 first. You STAR.
The others will follow.
/ A sanatorium-for tuberculosis ne-
groes was opened in Shreveport the
4 first of the year. 1t was started by
the Shreveport Tuberculosis Leag1f
white people. We must heir
them.
Mrs. Moyse Anderson, a framed col
ored nurse, is in charge. This is the
first place in Louisiana to be opened
for negro consumptiye and Mrs
Anderson is the first colored sana
ltorium superintendent in the State
St. Tammany farmer., 1921-04-02

We colored people all over the
State must help her because we must
have some place to which we can
send some Of the tuberculosis ne
groes for care, so that they may get
well and earn a living for their fam
lilies. And If this sanatorium (minti
you, the only one in the State for
negroes) is to be able to take patti
ents from outside Of Shreveport then
the rest of the State must help.
Negro Health Week is close at
hand.
Every day Of it should be made to
count for something in learning how
to improve the condition of our
homes, our health, our surroundings.
This article is to call your special
attention to tuberculosis Day.
On that day there should be talk
in every negro school room; in every
negro church, lodge, club or other
organization, by some one who can
tell us something about this dread
full plague.

who has charge of tuberculosis Day

make a program.
Get the doctors to give talks in the
