THE NEGRO SOLDIER THEY shall go down unto Life’s Borderland, Walk unafraid within that Living Hell, Nor heed the driving rain of shot and shell That ’round them falls; but with up lifted hand Be one with mighty hosts, an armed band Against man’s wrong to man—for such full well They know. And from their trem bling lips shall swell A song of hope the world can under stand. All this to them shall be a glorious sign, A glimmer of that Resurrection Mom, When age-long Faith, crowned with a grace benign, Shall rise and from their blows cast down the thorn Of Prejudice. E’en though through blood it be, There breaks this day their dawn of Liberty. —Joseph Seaman Cotter in the June Crisis. BOY SCOl'T NEWS Troop 23 Since we are living in a growing age, an age of precedents, an age of instruction, it would be well for us to 1< ok forward for the best interest of cur boys. And I know of no better addition to the boys’ present oppor tunities than scouting, for scouting will bring out all the qualities there are in a boy and will give him a na tural acquaintance with nature that he will not get otherwise. What others say about scouting: “I have noticed a great change in my boys since they have taken up scouting and think others should give the boys a boost.”—Mr. A. P. Sim mons, barber. “Scouting is helpful to any boy who wants to broaden his usefulness.” Mr. Northern Jenkins, citizen. “Stick to it until the people realize its benefits to boys.”—Mr. Daniel Desdunes, bandmaster. H. L. ANDERSON, Scoutmaster. FLOYD MAXF.Y, Scout Scribe. WHAT IS A SCOl’T? A Glimpse of the Life of a Boy Who «. “Belongs.” (Written by Guiou Taydor, a Scout.) A scout can tell north, south, ease or west by the signs. He can tie knots that hold. He can sight nut-hearing trees from a distance. He can mend a tear in his trousers. He can tell you which fruits and seeds are poisonous and which are not. A scout can kindle a fire in a forest on the wettest dav and very seldom uses two matches. If he has no matches he can still have a fire, be cause he knows the secret of rubbing .‘ticks and starting a fire. When the fire gets started, what a meal he can prepare outdoors! Just watch him and compare his appetite with a boy who lounges at a lunch counter in a crowded city. A scout never flinches in the face of danger, because he knows that at such a time every faculty must be active. He knows what to do in case of a fire or panic or shipwreck. He trains bis mind to direct his body to act. In all emergencies he sets an example of re sourcefulness, coolness and courage, and considers the safety of others be fore himself. LEAGUE PROTESTS LYNCH LAW TO PRESIDENT WILSON (Boston Post May 24. 1918.) Aroused by the lynching of five Ne groes because of a killing episode the National Equal Rights league sent to President Wilson today a telegram of protest calling attention to the re ported heroism of two Negro soldiers in France. The telegram read as fol lows: “Boston, Mass., May 23, 1918. “The President, White House, Wash ington, D. C.: “At the very time that the Red Cross is asking every American work er to give one day’s wages for its hu manity work, five Colored Americans are fiendishly murdered by a white American mob, one of the lynched be ing a woman. Simultaneously General Pershing announces two Colored sol dier heroes victors in bloody combat over twenty Germans. France gave them the Croix de Guerre. Will you, their president, recognize their hero ism by publicly exerting your person al influence against lynching of their women ? “NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. “Byron Gunner, President. "William Monroe Trotter, Secretary. “William D. Brigham.” IN LIBERTY'S NAME Memorial Day Finds the Nation Battling for Freedom of the Whole World. Memorial pay was bom of a war fought that this nation, un der God, should have a new birth of freedom, nnd that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth.” A half a century and more has passed since that immortal utterance. Now the nation Is again in arms, to fight that “the world may be made safe for democracy." Then, the young republic, struggling upward toward Its vision of freedom, learned through the hitter travail of Civil war that the nation could not exist half slave nnd half free. The vision has broadened with the wid ening years. Then It was for the free dom of a race the nation fought. Now the sword is drawn for the imperiled liberty of the world. The natal day of our independence we have been wont to celebrate with loud acclaim nnd vaunting pride. Me morial day ever has been our time for solemn contemplation. Another Me morial day is at hand, and ns America la\ s its flowers on the graves of its soldier dead, it hears again that re vered voice from the slopes of Get tysburg bidding ns to lie not unmind ful that "It is rather for ns to lie here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that on Use for which they gave the last full measure of devotion: tlint we here highly resolve that these (letid shall not have died in viiln.” A beautiful, a poetic symbolism Memorial day laid come to lie to ns : The people who walk with slow steps in tin* quiet cemeteries, the children in their white dresses who witli loving bands place wreaths "alike for flic friend nnd the foe." t|ie venerable men who are the links Unit hind us to tin age long gone, and. its we believed, for ever gone, when nation warred with nation nnd Idood lust geew in heart that had thrilled at the sight of th same flag. And now with what a hew and sutl *!en significance has Memorial day hcen vested. With wlmt different tit uc-'lit will they go "lovingly laden with (low ers.” How much more reverently than in those convent Iona 1 days that already seem so far away will the lit tle flags he planted on each patriot mound. And who Is there, when tap dear and soft as a benediction, i sounded for those who "dream of bat tlefields iai more," will not remember that on a neighboring Hill on the mor row front tiiat same silvery bugle wil* leap tile reveille for another genera tion of freedom's soldiers? If solemn memories of the past and earnest thought for the future I.r!i (hilt new birth of fr-s-dnm. who sha'1 say that those have died in vain for whom flowers will lie spread in far Memorial days to come? TRIBUTE TO PHIL KEARNY Comte De Paris Knew and Loved Fa mous Soldier Who Gave His Life for His Country. It was after the review that I mud the personal aeqmilutarire of the o!!l cers with whom I Was to have the gum. fortune to tight for a cause which wn already dear to me. Ail made me cor diull.v welcome, hut it was with Ktlirny that 1 found myself most at home. Hi It was who could st alt to me of tie French army In A lye. in In 1840 and of the memories left by my family in that country. He did so In terms which deeply touched the heart of the exile the son of the Iluc d'Orleuns. Ken nil had participated in one of those cam pniyns on African ground which brought out strongly the merits of tin French soldier. 11c had also associated himself with the triumphs of France In the Italian campaign of 1850. His abrupt speech and Imperious manner denoted a proud disposition, ami a character Incapable of lluttein or of dissimulation, lint though at first his manner was not always fitted to attract, one soon learned to appreciate the noble qualifies of Ids heart, the firmness of his will, the aeeutacy of his judgment, the truthfulness and grandeur of his soul If he did not spare his soldiers al the decisive moment, he spared himself still less, and by his example obtained from hla followers truly heroic efforts. —Philippe, Comte de Paris, In The ('entury. « FOLLOWING FALSE GODS By S. STANWOOD MENKEN, President of the National Security League. Just as the test of the individual is best found under the stress of great trial or play of passion, so nations prove themselves In time of war and ^s=g._ are able to judge, i not alone of the qualities of which their peoples are composed, but al so the measure of confidence which should be placed In their leaders. It has been said that Americans d o n't h a'v e to prove that they are the “greatest people on earth" for they admit It; and yet, when wy . . look bach over ,, , our history and Menken , , consider how we asve met great problems such as 1 la very, hy a great war; tariff, bj fourteen bills and a like number of panics; conservation, currency, bank ing, niui-irust and rnilumd questions, j by making th, same matters of poli tics—it may be doubted whether we are quite as great as we think we are. In considering how we exercise our Judgment, we should remember the extent to which we have devoted our aelves to the education of the young and the large sums we have spent at at', times fjr public school; and for colleges. When we look hack, and see the mistakes we have made, it would almost appear a» if we had failed to apply much that had beer* taught ns in school and college, or that perhaps tne school nnd college Imd not taught us how to solve great political measures. Then, again, the thought comes to us of whether or not we have not had false leaders, nnd have not clung to false gods 0 Corporation Wrongs. We all remember the outcry against vested interests of the capitalist* There have been great wrongs dona by many corporations—some of their franchises have been obtained by cor ruption and theft nnd great injuries have often been done to the rights of the people; arid so, when we found times bard nnd tilings going wrong, we have vented our anger upon cor porations and upon the capitalists who controlled them. In many cases we allowed ourselves to become angry with a class or with certain Individ uals and expended our strength on our temper, rather than upon a study of the cure of the conditions about I will nil we complained; and in ninny Instances we punished corporations for the wrongs of their predecessors In ownership, much us sins of parent* ere visited upon their children. Demagogues, knowing the public mood, appealed to prejudice nnd Ig norance in discussing public matters nnd made Issues like currency, anti trust laws and the railroads political) footballs, Just as if the question of whether money could he saved by Joinjng together companies nnd pro* viding for economy In purchases and sales was political. Of course It Was c matter of economics (which Is the science of commerce). Such matters call for a conference between repre sentatives of farmers, laborers, se| entitle students <4 world conditions, nnd manufacturers and purchasers of goods, to consider nnd determine how goods can tie produced with a fair wage to the employee, a fair profit to the employer nnd the maximum bene fit to the public. Future Problems. In Europe they have taken these questions up In this cureful way and the result has been of great benefit. Now, and In the future, America will have *o deal with countries that are short of resources through the exhaus tion of war and have, of necessity, to get down to rock-bottom. The thrifty, intelligent, industrious European Is apt to be a good merchant, and we are going to have a hard time competing with him for commerce and for world oositlon, so we must consider all of our problems more carefully than ever before and cast aside those men who attempt to lead us away from a thoughtful, dispassionate view of great questions. Graft and neglect In local communi ties of political duties hy the average citizen are responsible for the roisgov ernment that breeds disrespect, where we should have pride because of the efficiency of oqr people. The first con eern of the citizen in every community must be to see that It Is governed in a way that will assure the approval of clean thinking inen and women. The mechanics governing a city re quire the same kind of clear thought and careful work as that given to shop work or farm planning, and every good American must feel that at this time there Is nothing more worth while. If we do these tilings well, we will not have to worry about the foreign born loving America, because living ! conditions here will he so excellent i that they simply cannot help It, espe 1 daily when they are given nof alone good government and healthy condl | tlons surrounding home and work shop, hut also education, opportunity and n charter of liberties which will mean happiness to them, if we per (ortn ut duties as citizens.
