Tel. Web. 0080 / RULE IN AFRICA When Mr. Wells affirms that the fate of Africa will become one of the serious responsibilities of the peace table he is thinking of Africa in terms ! of Africa’s interests; 'he is not mere ly mouthing the British imperialistic sentiments. From first to last, Af rica has been martyred to the greed of Christian nations. Ameirca got her loot; in slave trade; she is still get ting her loot in liquor trade. The natives have been beaten, cheated, dis possessed of their rights. It is a long, loathsome story of brutality, inde cency and greed. If ’he tale had not been relieved here and there, by the i sublime deeds of the missionary, the j word Africa would cause every Chris t'an to blush. In printing, therefore, extracts from the report of Mr. H. M. Gorges, administrator of Southwest Africa, on methods of German ad I ministration, wc are not moved by hatred .merely of German methods, but by a disgust with the whole sys tem. which has hitherto passed muster' in Christendom of despoiling 'helpless and inferior races. Lincoln was right when he said no man was good enough to be entrusted with the life and lib erty of another man. The German has a bad colonial rec ord. So have a good many other nations. None of them will bear too close a scrutiny in details, not even America’s treatment of the Indians. The helpless races have been left: pretty much to the exploitation and will of two powerful interests, the miliary and commercial. Neither of these can be trusted. Both have in herent raits of hearties: ness. Mili tarism can be killed once and for ever at the peace table, or the war will have been fought only in vain. Commercialism will not, in the new day, be the petted interest of diplom acy and government.—The Churchman (New York.) ASKING OUR AID IN AFRICA , British Seek Missionaries for German Colonies. Yonkers, N. Y.—Hundreds of our students in Methodist theological sem inaries throughout this country were invited, last Friday, by J. N. Ruffin, a member of the London Chamber of Commerce, to volunteer as mission aries for the Christianization of the Hottentotes and Herercs and other black tribes in former German colon ies in Southwest Africa. Mr. Ruffin intimated the British govemmcn stood ready to finance educated Afro Americans who would go to Africa. Bishop J. W. Anderson (white), of - Cincinnati, who introduced Mr, Ruf- ! fin, referred to the $80,000,000 fund which the .Met hod in s plan to raise by ] June 1. Part of this money is to be : devoted to missions in Africa. Among j otheis who spoke was Bishop J. C. I Hartwell (white) of Ohio. -- - ■ . Please! Wait Until Your Party Answers or the Telephone Operator Reports Do you sometimes call a number and when the party you want does not answer promptly, hang up the receiver ? Please don’t do it. Thi3 practice slows up your telephone service and delays other telephone calls because it means extra work for the operators and unnecessary use of the telephone facil ities. It also annoys the person who is called to the telephone and finds no one on the line. I Usually after abandoning a call you try again later. If this were practiced by everyone you can readily see what a tremendous delay would result in providing service. Sr To hang up your receiver before the called party answers or the operator reports to you that they do not answer, means that time and labor has been wasted in these war times when every bit of both should be utilized to the limit. Please! Always remain at the telephone until the party you T. want answers or the operator reports, “They don’t answer”. • , —~ 1 NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY • S»ve Food Huy War Saving* Slump* and l.iherty Komi* 11 ji * •> ■ f Among the Churches I OPENING OF PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH The new Pleasant Green Baptist church, which is a modest but attrac tive brick structure on the comer of Twem y-second and Paul streets, will be opened for woiship next Sunday, November *24.

CORINE THOMAS. THE NEGROES’ NEW DAY (From Youngstown Vindicator) In a passenger coach of a southern rrain the other day a friend of The Drifter espied a veteran of Persh ing’s army. Upon an empty sleeve were two six months’ foreign service stripes and a wound chevron, and on his breast a medal of honor. Ordinar ily it would seam as if one who had sacrificed as much for his country and democracy would be certain of all corutesy and friendliness from every fellow-citizen he met. But as he sat there 'he conductor of the train came to him and touching his uniform said “You’re in the wrong coach. You b’long in the Jim Crow car. Get out of here.” The Negro looked him stead ily in the eyes. “I’ll stay right here,” he said firmly. "You could have talked to me that way once, bub you can’t now!” and he pointed to his empty sleeve. “All right,” said the j conductor, “I’ll soon fix you.” Where | upon he called a burly brakeman and I they were about to throw this one armed veteran out of the car when the gorge of the southern men who wit nessed this humiliating scene rose, the train hands were ordered to de sist, and Pershing’s veteran rode on in peace, the sole colored man in a carload cf whites. “Oh, very well,” said the conductor just before he slammed the door, “that’s just like you white folks; first you make tihe laws and then you break them.” There are a good many laws that ought to be broken nowadays. The Drifter thinks, which affect the Colored peo ple. After the 150,000 Colored men now in France return from their glor ious share in Pershing’s victory shall we continue to Jim-Crow them, dis franchise them and remind them that though they may be good enough to fight for Uncle Sam they are still to be despised at home? j ■ PORO j HAIR CULTURE J We treat the scalp and grow ( the hair. • Manicuring and massage. t HATTIE B.
