A. W. KNIGHT,
L. J. OUSLfcf,
Don’t forget to pay your sub
scription to the Wisconsin Week
sure to read our adds. They con
tain good bargains.
When you buy War Savings
Stamps you do not give your
money, you loan it at 4 per cent
compounded quarterly. You help
your government, but you help
yourself even more.
Notice to Mail Subscribers:
The War Industries Board
has served official notice that
from and after October Ist,
1918, “all newspapers must
discontinue sending a paper af
thcr the date of the expiration
of a subscription, unless the
subscription is renewed and
paid for.”
This means that unless your
Blade is paid for in advance,
you will not receive a copy
through the mail after Octo
ber Ist.
As much as we regret the
atop it is absolutely necessary
for ua to stop sending the pa
per after that date. This no
tice is given at this time so that
you will have time to protect
your subscription.
BLADELETS
Remember the FOURTH!
Bend the way THEY tight.
Feed the boys. Buy Liberty
Bonds.
Fighting is one way; lending
another.
Send the Ammunition over. Buy
Liberty Bonds.
What, was it one l>r. Osier said
about men of 40?
The purchase of a Liberty Bond
is an investment behind which the
United States government stands.
Until the government ceases to be,
the Bonds arc good.
Uol. F. R. Dennison of the 870
Inf. (Bth 111.) home on leave due
to a breakdown says: “The only
place for a peace conference is in
Berlin, with the Allies dictating
the terms.” Atta Boy! Colonel.
Atta Boy.
When you buy a Liberty Bond
you make an investment no less
secure than the nation itself.
SI,OOO cash for a Liberty Bond
may be a small contribution for
some people. But for a colored
woman whose opportunities are
restrict \1 it is a fortune.
It is our duty to support the na
tion in its efforts to win the war
in which we are engaged. To com
plain against the unjust condi
tions under which we labor is by
no means inconsistent with that
duty. “To keep silent when one
ought to protest, is a sin."
The More Bonds the Fewer Cas
ualties.
PREJUDICE VS. PATRIOTISM
“I regard the concurrence of the senate in the constitutional
amendment proposing the extension of the suffrage to women as
vitally essential to the successful prosecution of the great war of
humanity in which we are engaged. I have come to urge upon you
the considerations which have led me to that conclusion. It is not
only my privilege, it is also my duty to apprise you of every cir
cumstance and element involved in this momentous struggle which
seems to me to affect its very process and its outcome. It is my duty
to win the war and to ask you to remove every obstacle that stands
in the way of winning it.”
Speaking thus the President of the United States in a personal
appeal to the senate urged it to pass the woman suffrage resolution
as a war measure. And yet with that assurance of our commander
in-chief, the man chosen by the people to lead us to victory, and
the one best qualified to judge of the things essential to the winning
of the war, the senate failed to muster the necessary two-tliirds
votes to pass the resolution.
And what were the causes that effected this result. Did the sen
ate doubt the President’s judgment? No, because the majority of
those who voted against it have implicit confidence in the President.
Was it due to any party issue involved? No, b cause both of the
great political parties have pledged themselves to equal suffrage for
women. It w r as because there are men even in the U. S. Senate
whose patriotism is unable to lift them above their prejudices; men
who believe it more essential to keep some men down than to lift
all men up; men who are unwilling to accord to the black women of
this country the same rights they would accord their sisters of
lighter hue, even though it be essential to winning the war.
An analysis of the votes discloses a most interesting alignment
of the two great parties. Ilad the question been left to a two-thirds
vote of the Republicans, it would have passed by a safe margin, for
of the total number of that party voting, 73 per cent, nearly three
quarters, were for the amendment. While of the Democrats vot
ing, but 58 per cent voted in the affirmative. Most significant of all,
however, yet not surprising, is the fact that of the total vote against,
nearly 60 per cent were from the south. It is safe to say that the
resolution was defeated by southern Democrats.
And the reason is obvious. It was disclosed in the speeches of
several southern Senators. One, Senator Williams of Mississippi,
even introduced an amendment restricting the suffrage to white
women. They could not give women the suffrage without ‘‘enfran
chising Negro women,” and this they could not tolerate even though
essential to winning the war. Not that they loved their country less
but hated the Negro more.
In the contest between Patriotism and Prejudice, Prejudice tri
umphed.
SCISSORED THOUGHTS
- ■ ■■■ t
Many an old regular who has
fought by their side in Indian
warfare, or felt their soldier com
radeship before the works at San
tiago will understand the action
of those negro soldiers in France,
and again thank the “Buffaloes.”
—Milwaukee Daily News.
In the meantime, who is keep
ing account of the burning of hu
man beings in Europe? While
America is making the world safe
for Democracy and Democracy
safe for the world evidently some
thing like burning human beings
should go on at the battle fronts
in Europe.—Dallas Express.
It is not a fact that, the intelli
gent, high-bred Negro cares any
more for social intercourse with
the white person than the white
person does with them, but his
very pride bursts out of its con
finement when he sees people
away and away below him in most
of the essentials which go to make
up the desirable man, receive no
set back at the place where the
common public congregates, and
on all sides he sees the barriers
of hate and prejudice raised to
hinder and block his movement as
a person who had so trained and
governed himself to cause these
nauseating, disgusting, freaks to
mar his feelings on every turn.
—Newport News (Va.) Star.
Judging by the war pictures one
sees on every hand, a stranger in
America would be led to believe
that only white men are lighting
tin* battles for Democracy and on
ly white women interested in Red
Cross and other war work. Will
truth ever get a hearing?
—Dallas Express.
Color prejudice has for years
wielded its unjust influence with
the aim of civilization. It has
wound its gripping folds around
the cause of Christianity. It has
‘brown reason to the winds and
played havoc with the plans of
heaven. It is the common enemy
of the Negro race and can be
found in every nook and corner
of human habitation. In the homes,
in schools and colleges, in work
shop and factory. In street cars
and railway trains and even in the
house of Cod prejudice lurks with
its poisonous fangs ready and
waiting to sink the deadly venom
into the progress pf the Negro
race.
—St. Louis Argus.
Universal Democracy is what
God loves and when it is establish
ed, other countries will rejoice
and America will be purified. This
is the home of the Negro and he
must feel that God wants him to
help make it better, and to do so,
patriotism must permeate the
hearts of every one of us. We
must live and die for the perpetu
ation of this government and the
Clod of all the universe will some
day put the lynchers out of busi
ness and all true citizens, regard
less of the color of the skin, will
be protected and given the bene
fits provided by the laws of the
land and of heaven.
—Southern Christian Recorder.
