THE DRIVE FOR LIBERTY.
The movement for the Liberty Con
gress was inaugurated in Boston,
June 13 of last year at a session held
in Faneuil Hall, the cradle of liberty,
at a national conference called by the
New England League. A Liberty Con
ference was started as a national com
mittee to arrange for a National
Colored Liberty Congress. Rev. A. C.
Powell of New York is president Prof.
A. W. Whalley of Boston is national^
organizer W. M. Trotter, executive
secretary. A board of managers was
begun with Robert H. Harrison of
New York as chairman. This board
is to be augmented.
The purpose of the Congress is tosatisfied
press the just claim" of Colored Ameri
cans to share in the world democracy
for which they are all subject to fight
under the flag and to take positive
measures to secure from the govern
ment guarantees of the aboltion of dis
franchisement and of all caste dis
criminations.
The proposal to hold a meeting early
this year has been enthusiastically re
ceived by the thinking men of the
country and the executive officers have
decided to hold the congress at Wash
ington the National Capital, Memorial
Day, May 30, which is in honor of the
veterans .who saved the Republic and
brought liberty, with 200,000 colored
men among them.
This congress of Colored America to
present to the Government its claim
for a share in the world democracy is
a great opportunity for the Colored
people Every community .ought to
send a big-delegation.
NATIONAL INSURANCE.
When you buy a Liberty Bond you
are taking out national insurance on
the rest of your property. I
Where the kaiser's army sets its
foot, private property ceases to exist.
The apostles of kultur steal or destroy
everything. In their retreat from the I
Somme a year ago, they even turned
the wells into latrines and sowed salt
at the roots of the-vines and fruit
trees. In Belgium, in northern France,
-in Poland, Italy and Russia, they have
restored the ancient system of war
Dr. Frank Crane, the great thinker
and writer in a recent article on,
"What We All Can Do," said: "Think
humanity instead of race hate. Think
fellowship and not egotism. Thoughts
are soldiers. Drill them, feed them,
and make them fight in humanity's
cause

THE MAN WHO DARES
I honor the man who in the consci
entious discharge of his duty dares to
stand, alone the world* with ignorant,
intolerant judgment, may condemn,
the countenances of relatives may be
averted, and the hearts of friends grow
cold, but the sense of duty done shall
be sweeter than the applause of the
world, the countenances of relatives or
the hearts of friends.Charles Sumner.
slavery, and drafted the civilian in
habitants to labor under the lash of
their Teutonic conquerors.
These things are done systematic
ally and by order. They would be done
here if the kaiser's armies could cross
the Atlanticand they would get
across quickly were it not for the
fleets and armies of our allies. Those
allies require our financial and mili
tary support and to give that support
the government must have money.
It is expensive to win a war against
Prussianism, but it is utterly ruinous
to lose one.
A year ago the junkers laughed when
America entered the war, and said it
was a good thing, because this was
the only country where a huge indem
nity of cash and supplies could be col
lected without delay. They are not
laughing any longer, but their need
of indemnity has grown greater than
ever.
We can loan for victory or pay for
defeat.
We can buy insurance for our homes,
our property, or right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happines or we
can sacrifice these things to the royal
family of butchers that rules central
Europe.
Liberty Bonds are national insur
ance.
Buy, and buy early.
"HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL IN THE
HUMAN BREAST."
Every once in awhile something is
said iby somebody, somewhere, that
gives us fresh hope for the future.
One cannot talk intelligently on any
subject, unless he has given that sub
ject intelligent thought. Everything
that man has ever done good, bad or
indifferent was the result of thought
Thought created the universe thought
has maintained it, and will forever do
so. When people think right and ex
press their thoughts, right must event
ually prevail.
So many white people in the United
States think wrong, speak wrong, act
wrong, in regard to their colored fel
low citizens, that it is very, very re
freshing when we hear expressions of
right thoughts from them.
The above thoughts were en
gendered by expressions made by
Bishop Woodcock and Dr. R. W. Pat
ton, executive secretary of the Home
and Foreign Missionary Board of the
Episcopal church at a largely attended
meeting in Maculey's Theatre, Louis
ville, Ky, Sunday, March 24. Bishop
Woodcock who presided said, after re
counting the progress the colored peo
ple had made: "You would better get
right on the 'Negro Question,' or, God
helping you a time will come when you
will wish you had, and you ought to
feel it."
Dr. Patton said among other things:
"The Negroes have given to the
world the highest of all virtues, the
Law of Love. They, more than any
other people, demonstrate the ideals of
patience and loyalty. They are loyal
when they have some reason to be dis
loyal. When the war is over, the
Negroes having given their sons to die
on the battlefields of Europe, will have
an awakening, and will never again be
with past conditions. WE
CANNOT WIN THIS WAR WITHOUT
THEM. We had better get ready to
meet them in a fair, just and econ
omical manner."
THE SIN OF SILENCE
To sin by silence when we should
protest makes cowards out of men.'
The human race has climbed on pro
test. Nad no voice been raised against
injustice, ignorance and lust, the in
quisition yet would serve the law, and
guillotines decide our least disputes.
The few who dare must speak and
speak again to right the wrongs of
many.Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The following appeal is appearing
in the daily press:
To the Editor:
May I be permitted to appeal in this
personal way to your readers for a
war need very pressing and very de
serving of patriotic attention, and yet
easily overlooked. The newly-organ
ized Circle for Negro War Relief is
trying to provide for enlisted and
drafted men the same comfort and
cheer that numerous societies are giv
ing the white troops also to care for
the many cases of .distress in Negro
families where the wage earner is
serving the country.
One-tenth of our troops are colored
men. Surely a movement to organize
them and work toward a great com
mon end will make the Negroes bet
ter citizens (just as all other war work
is making better citizens) and will
have results reaching far beyond the
present crisis.
The Circle for Negro War Relief is
approved by, and is working with the
National Red Cross. It aims to do a
needed work that might have to be
left partially undone in the present
enormous demands on our national
Red Cross.
Our office (donated by a friend) is
at 489 Fifth avenue, New York. We
need funds at once. Every penny will
go to actual relief work. Our colored
troops have been brave, loyal fighters
from the days of the Civil war to San
Juan hill. Whatever one's view of
race problems, there can be no two
opinions of helping thousands of col
ored men and women to be more effi
cient soldiers and citizens and so help
win the war.
EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD.
It is possible that the American
Red Cross has become so UNAMERI
CAN that it has drawn the color line
and made the formation of a separate
organization for colored soldiers nec
essary?
What does the RED CROSS stand
for?
Thousands of colored Americans
are members of the National Red
Cross having donated their dollars
during the drive for membership last
year. They asked no questions about
the way the money was to be used but
supposed it was for the benefit of
ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERSr
A strange condition seems tq^have
arisen.
What does it mean?
Let us have light.
"NEGRO" ADVISER NOT WANTED.
Pressure has been brought by "ne-
groes" so the wires tell us, to have a
"negro" adviser appointed to tell the
Department of Labor what ought to
be done along "negro" labor lines. Sec
retary Wilson has announced that a
"negro" will not be selected as a
permanent representative but promi
nent colored men will be consulted.
Secretary Wilson has the right idea.
No patriotic colored American wishes
a jimcrow representative. It would be
THANK GOD!
The commission on union of the
Presbyterian Church North and the
Presbyterian Church South failed to
agree on a plan for the proposed
merger of the two great church
bodies at the final session of this joint
conference at Atlantic City. Thank
God that the North would not agree
to the color line proposals of the m
famus Souhern branch which would
have dragged Christianity in the mire
WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES.
The new war savings certificates
will bear 4 per cent interest, will run
for a term of five years and will be is
sued in denominations as low as $5.
They are to be just what their names
indicate, "savings" certificates, a
means of investment for small savings,
so that the money will be safe and
profitable and at the same time afford
ing the government the use of it. It'
is planned to sell the certificates to
the public on the installment plan by
using stamps that may be purchased
and pasted in a book for that purpose.
When there are sufficient stamps to
cover the cost of a certificate the book
will be placed on sale in every town
can be exchanged for one. The stamps
and city in the country.
The individual who has money laid
by for a rainy day need have no hesi
tation in converting it into war sav
ings certificates, since the government
will redeem them at any time upon
the request of the holder, allowing in
terest at 4 per cent. Under this ar
rangement the investor in these cer
tificates will have the satisfaction of
knowing that If any emergency should
arise in his family, such as sickness
or death, he could immediately realize
upon his certificates.
It is a safe prediction that the war
savings certificates will godlike "hot
cakes." Their small denomination, the
good interest rate, the terms upon
which they may be purchased, the
fact that they are not subject to taxa
tion when held by persons of small
meansall will make them an at
tractive investment. Working people
whose margin of Income above expen
ses is narrow at best will find in them
an excellent incentive for beginning
the prudent habit of saving. They
will be popular for Christmas presents
School children will be able to invest

all right to appoint a colored man as friction between the races. Jamaica
an assistant secretary of labor but to
appoint a "negro" adviser and confine
him to jimcrow duties would be segre
gation in its worst form.
"Negroes" who are asking for segre
gated places in. the department of the
government are doing the colored peo
ple a great wrong. Any man who
would accept such an appointment,
would necessarily be a jimcrow man
and he -would do his country great
harm in bolstering up the color line.
Give colored men representation in
the government as Americans, not as
"negroes."
CENSUS PLUM CAKE.
The 1920 Census Bill provides for
a staff of 92,000 employes to take
the census. Conforming to thvelopment
policy of the administration with re
spect to partisan appointments they
will all be Democrats. This is added
evidence that the army will be re
cruited from the ranks of the Repub*
licans. The party out of power and
spurned by the President is the party
which has made possible this draft
law and which is furnishing by far
the greater percentage of the fight
ing force. Milton has a verse "On
His Blindness" which may be aptly
applied to both parties:
To the Republicans
"Thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean with
out rest."
And as to Democrats
"They also serve who only stand and
wait."
Except that the Republicans wait
for the ships, whilst the famished
Democrats wait at the political pie
counter. Safe for Democrats!
SHOULD ABANDON SEGREGATION.
Dr. Gulick, secretary of the commis
sion on relations with the orient of the
Federal Council of Churches said in
Boston recently:
"America should abandon its humil
iating and discriminating treatment of
Japanese and Chinese in this country,"
he said, "and adopt an oriental policy
fitted to hold those people permanently
to friendly relations with the demo
cratic nations of the west."
Dear Doctor G. would it not be well
for America to begin right here at
home and "abandon its

"HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no iiesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.
