M)iAi; embxrgo QriTio..M It is announced that a nc-w ..rgu.nization of broad si-upt- and great pec.ver is to be fe.rme J in this country for 1 1 1 express puri".-. of bringing political prt j-.-ur! to ) ar on the government to Mop the export of w . r muitior.s. The pi'iMint i, wh are said to he I), troit, Toledo and 'lev land men, are far more frariK and hold in their ! laiatie.ns than the had is of the GermanAmcncan alliance. It is to be, without equivocation, some-thing this nation has never had hei'ore, a league of citi2( lis formed along racial line; Gerin.iiu Austrian and I'.ohemian to act in domis.tie polities under th inspiration of a foreign juarr 1.

We know that the Fnited Mates h is a formal right to tptt .urns ;iad a m m unit ion. Imt it ib's a ho a mor al obligation tv. aid us who form the laigst laeial !' Iik III of the country. We know that humanity demands an embargo on arms and 'iiniiiti ns. 'ur feedings are hurt, aye, we are insuitt d by tiie fact that our o m ment intentionally outlooks its moral obligations. How couhl that happen'.' The ;iii'a-r is. We are not strong enough politically. s-'tnngth only oniniands rc-.-p-t. It tlie (Jcrtihiii-AiiH ricin e 1 ir.enl liad heen organized as a seial unit last fall, we- ,.ould now have an embargo on the export of arms and munitions;. Now or j n i r, , help ( . js the time to

tlie rma n-A mcriean ele-

nii nt for tiiis purpose. It shall ho a temporary union for the sole tuipoe uf i-olving tli'.: embargo iju -1 1 1 1 . The main objection to this movehi' nt, as other Ameiieans see it, is that "solving the embargo quest ion," as the-e citizens want it sedved appeals simply to no an "helping Germany to win." Tiie leaders, less tactful than those of the Germa :i-Amer-i an alliance, do not put their demand primarily on humanitai ian grounds, and do not pretend to be neutral. They speak frankly as pro-Germans'. Thry hae taken sides in the war, and they demand, as "the largest racial clement in tiie country," that the gnvernment take sides with them, rather than with those whose sympathies are with the allies. For reasons often given, and now almost universally understood, it isn't likely that the government will be moed to change its policy by such considerations. Hut if the nation at large were to consider the matter actording to its svmp.ithies, as these citizens are doing, in the light of calculated military advantage to one side or the other, it might airy on Urn dieusion on some- -uch basis as this: (icrm iny dot n't ncot our munitions, and the allii s do. Ge-rmany has pl-mty of arms and ammunition (1) because she prepare,! thoroughly for the war befo.-cJrimI and l' ) because she lias pos.-'sion of nearly all of Fran e-'s coal and iimi i.iiihs, blast furnaces and f actrn .. if s-'ae didn't iiave that grai mining and manuiacl ir:i' : ectiotj of r.orthtrn 1 "ranee, tl.r lv ii suits would be on a more nearly CiU.il fooling as i. v.u'ils munitions.

We have a srt of moral right, it might be argued, to make such a proposition, hecau.-e the Fnitd S' itts was

of.e of the signatory pevvtrs th.at guaranteed the neutralitv of F.elgi im. Perhaps the Fnlted States is evn under : motal obligation to prote-t against the wrong done France by "'hitting her helovv the belt" through an invasion from her pooriy protected northern border. For the sake of friendly discussion, anyhow, whit have the advocates of the new ( ; e rinan-A ust r ia n - H u nga na nAinerican -party -for- political- adi-m got to say to this propoition?

part of the people may lead to restriction of the rights of other parts. Such gnawing at democracy may finally mean disappearance of democracy, liut the outh is not going to worry much. She has learned ways of handling colored questions, social, economic and political, that have legislation beaten hv mile5.

Take for instance, the so-calied "black courilies" of Texas. In many of these counties, lying principally In the ("dorado and IJrazos river bottoms, the negro population numerically predominates, and were there not some method of controlling the situation, the black could and would elect their own county officials. The problem has been solved in a simple and effective manner. For many years, there has existed in these counties a white man's league. It inel ides every reputable white man, irrespective of pol

itic s. in the county. As soon as a newcomer arrives, he is invited to join the league. Failing to do so, he can obtain no credit or financial assistance from any member. As these are strictly farming communities, where the crops, principally cotton, .are raised on credit, the efficacy of the plan is apparent. The white mar's league holds conventions, settle. its own differences, politically and otherwise, nd makes its nominations for county e;ffiees. Now here is where the beautiful simplicity of tlie plan appears. Under

the laws of Texas the bonds of county officers must he made by responsible individuals, residing within the county. As every financially responsible bondsmen is a mernbei of the league only its nominees can qualify. Occasionally, the blacks, assisted by some "reneu'ade" white man, have elected their own man but they have never succeeded in qualifying. The negroes vote as they please for state and national issues or officers. In fact, they may vote for county officers, as well, but 'tis a wasted ballot if not cast for one of the nominees of the white man's party. The blacks seem quiti content with the state of affairs and rleciion riots and disorders are ver rare in these sections.

n i a i 1 1 ( i ;n i n. s c 1 1 1 s i :.m i : n ; t. It was a southern man, a former Confederate soldier, who as chief justice of the United States, on June 21 handed down the decision declaring unconstitutional the "grandfather clause" disfranchising negroes in several southern states. That fact must rob the decision of much of its distastcfulness to tho south, and elrive home the conviction that it is based not on prejudice but on law and reason. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments may have been mistakes, but it seems to have been at leat as big a mistake to seek a remedy based on

purely racial discrimination. Illiterate

negroes have been barred from tho polls not because they were illiterate and incapable of intelligent use of the franchise which is a thoroughly defensible prohibition but because their ancestors had no vote prior to Jan. 1, U6. The law of Oklahoma and Maryland, on which the judgment was passed, and similar laws in other southern states, have been legal subterfuges. It is likely that in whatever efforts may hereafter be made to

restrict the suffrage. thes state will franklv face the facts and will enact

no laws that discriminate along pure

ly racial lines.

The decision means not that all

negroes or all citizens of any other racial origin are guaranteed the right to vote. It means that if there is to

be any limitation of the franchise,

based on illitcrac or other grounds, it must apply indiscriminately to all classes of our population. Manhood and intelligence, and not race, must be the criterion ef citizenship.

She sat alone in the moonlight. A creature e.f beautv and giacc: She waited. one of the many, A smile lit her lovely face. It wa-s only a game she was playing. As a child would play with the f.xe; che played with hearts of passionate men. And kindled in them desire. It was only a harmless pastime; he smiled at the love they revealed, And never thought of the heart ache.-, For she could not love, nor feelHer eyes held sweets for the many, And all were welcome to kiss; ihj sigV.ri on each manly shoulder.

DAYS. "Mother's Day" became definitely established last year as a national institution, by congressional resolution and presidential proclamation. "Fathr's Day," which is thus far merely a state iffair, may soon have national sanction, teo. A bill introduced for that purpose last fall by a Pennsylvania congressman failed of passage, but the tendency is obvious. The first Sunday in June may take its honored paternal place alongside ef the maternal second Suiulay of May. "We are becoming a nathm of faddists," complains a corespondent. "On every hillside and under every gree-n tree we are setting up fads to worship." After Thanksgiving Day and Memorial Day and Flag Day, which are fitting and proper, ami Mother's Day. which is sentimentally defensible (although it's a rather shameful thing to admit that it should be needed), and Father's Day, which is an apologetic imitation of Mother's Day. vve have evohed such festivals as Waternudon Day, Peach Day. Orange Day. s'heep Day, Clean-up Day. Cio-to-e'hurch Day, ami n ho.st of other days picked out of the calendar forvsptcial observ ance. The eorrespondeuU suggests that if we have got to "bow before sueh altars." we might as well go into the thing whole-heartedly, and have a Cook's Day, a Cop's Day, an lee Man's Day, a Newsboy's Day and Shoe Shiners Day. and round enit the list with a day of honor for the family horse, cew. dog and cat, all ef which have their characteristic virtues ami are worthv of reverence.

JUST Till Mi Or' IT. "If a majority o: th warlike peoples of the world could be persuaded te join the League of Peace, it is not likely that thdse who remained out

side w'oulel make much trouble," says an eastern peace editor whose wiseiom indicates that he's a direct descendant of Solomon the Wise. Of course, he's, right, but just glance at the size ef that "If." It reminds us that if the Pocky mountains moved 1,000 miles eastwanl, there would be some change in the topography of the United States. Or, If the waters of the Great Iakes flowed the other way, the harbors of Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo would need some dredging. Or, if human nature was wholly made up o! high morals, there would be a scarcity of pickpockets, big and little. It must have cracked the editorial brain-pan to think out the proposition that if all the nations were sincerely against war, there would be some peace. Facts don't figure in cooking up such a proposition. All you have to elo is to sit and think and think ami think. Put, mere thinking peace is the limit of some folks.

Ilael a Taste For Music. (London Chronicle.) Mr. Peacham has eleclared music at meals a nuisance. Such was not the opinion of Michael Mail in "Under the Greenwood Tree." "Truly, now," he said, "there is a friendly tie of

some sort between music and eating.

likely that the German professor's family where she was a guest were familiar with the American woman's language, for, as she herself confesses, she can not speak a word of German, and she might have found herself at great inconvenience without some means of communication. But, though she can not talk German or understand it, she had "impressions." and one of the strongt ones was that the Germans do not like the people of the United States and are very bitter against us. Probably they do not like us; they have no special reason for regarding us with atYectiem and, frem their point ef view, have a number of causes for detestation. But whether her assertien. i.s correct or net can nen be proved by any American whe) tan only speak English spending a few days in Berlin.

It is the height of folly for Americans with no better equipment than this woman possesses to go abrrad with the expectation eif getting on the the inner side of affairs.

It appears that surgery has advanced in efficiency to such an extent as almost to count tact th increased efficiency of the fighting machines ef warfare. The advance in surgical ethcieney will undoubtedly reduce the efficiency percentage? of the new killing machinery. Many Americans are reminded by the pres
