A NEW RECONSTRUCTION *
The world-wide reconstruction tli^t. is following the wake of the war
x will necessarily affect the South in a peculiar way. Nearly 300,000 Negroes
have been called into Ihe military service of the country; many thousands
more have been drawn from peaceful .pursuits into industries born of the
war, and several hundred thousand Have shifted from the South to the
industrial districts of the North. The demobilization of the arnjy and the
transition of industry from a war to a peace basis are creating many prob-
lems' which can bo solved only by the efforts of both races. The Negro
in adapting himself to the ne wcondltions should have the wise sympathy
and generous co-operation of his white neighbors. It is to the Interest of
these as well as of the Negro himself, that readjustment should proceed with
the least possible difficulty and delay.
We believe that this readjustement may be effectively aided b y a more
general appreciation of the Negro's value as a member of the community.
Lack of sympathy and understanding between two groups of people frquenliy
causes one group to regard the shortcomings of a lew individuals of the
other as characteristics of all that group. This is a natural tendency,
but it is neither rational nor just, and it. has proved, we believe, one of the
great obstacles to the development of more satisfactory racial relations in
ibis country.
The Negroes' contribution to the welfare of th nation has never been
more clearly indicated than by his services during the great war. When
ihe call to arms was sounded his country'expected him to do his duty, and
he did not. fail. Large numbers of black men on the fields of France
made the silprejiie sacrifice for the cause of' world -democracy. In other
war services the Negroes did their full share. Many thousands were employ-
ed in the building of ships, the manufacture of munitions, the construction
of cantonments, and in the production of the coal, iron, cotton and food stuffs,
without which victory would have been impossible. The Negroes' pur-
chases of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps and their contributions
to the lied Cross, the United War Work Fund and other similar agencies
are in themselves a splendid record of which the Negroes and their white
friends may be justly proud.
It may also be appropriate in this connection to recall that throughout
the period of hostilities the Negro was never suspected of espionage or of
sympathy with the enemy, and that he has been wholly indifferent to those
movements fostered by radical Aliens that aim 'it the destruction of the
American form of government. This good record of the whole race de-
serves such .publicity as will offset tbe common tendency to judge it by
the shortcomings of some of its members. No people is spurred to higher
things when habitually referred to in disparging or contemptuous terms.
Ordinary human beings tend to live up to or down to the role assigned
them by their neighbors. Kansas City S-
MISTAKES THAT WILL CONTINUALLY HAPPEN
THE EDITOR OF A SHEET CALLED "Jackson (Miss.) Daily News-
Is very much peeved over the report that Perry W. Howard is one of the
prime movers in the new organization, "The Lincoln League of America."
This gentleman believes if the proper scare is thrown into the founders of
ibis movement they will, cur-like, sneak off and forget that they are Ameri-
can citizens. Where the southern white man has forgotten his authority to
hand out "licenses for citizenship it is impossible to discover. Bolshevism
seems to have gained new recruits in the southern press- if this little- one-
horse paper may be called representative—but the time is too far spent to
frighten men of the caliber of Perry Howard.
WE ARE INFORMED "the door of hope is forever closed in solar as
participation in politics Is concerned, and there is no appeal from that decree."
Well, If that is the case we might as well shut up shop at once and
seek newer and greener fields. Wonder where this embryo quill pusher
would like to have us go? Threats are supposed to be punishable by law,
but in a section where mobs rule there is only one thing to be done: follow
Ihe law of self-protection.
PERRY HOWARD'S MISTAKE
"The name of Perry W. Howard, a well known negro lawyer of
fhis city appears in the press dispatches as one of the organizers of
'The Lincoln League of America,' formed at New Orleans on Tues-
day. one of the avowed purposes of which is to seek the ballot.'
"It is to be regretted that Howard has seen fit to align himself
with this organization. He has been a resident of Jackson for sev-
eral years and has alway bad the respect and esteem of the white
people of the community, who have regarded him as one of the sane,
conservative leaders of Ills race.
"Perry Howard has been in Mississippi long enough to know
that when the negro 'seeks the ballot' he is doing a vain and foolish
thing; that such an ambition will inevitably lead to trouble; that the
door of hope is forever closed to the negro in so far as participation
in politics Is concerned, ami there is no appeal from that decree.
"It is stated that "The Lincoln League of America' will establish
a propaganda ollice in Memphis 'lor the purpose of sending out infor-
mation about the negro to white people.' If this propaganda is to
embrace the desire' to vote, then It had better be located north of the
Ohio river. It will not be safe in Memphis, and Its issuance of
propaganda will be short lived.

BUSINESS COURSE.
You know how often you have
wished that you could write short-
hand. You realized what it meant to
busy executives and to business be-
ginners—in efficiency, advancement
and increased earning power.
Everybody can use shorthand. Our
record shows that in addition to the
thousands of young men and women
who need shorthand as a help in their
business career, other thousands-
business men, professional men, stu-
dents, clergymen and literary folks-
would like to know shorthand as a
time-saving convenience. Still others,
fathers and mothers, would like to
give their sons and daughters this
wonderful advantage in order that
they may be able to be self-supporting
any time it may be necessary.
Many of these persons who have
not a direct need for shorthand but
want it as an instrument of efficiency
and a daily time saver would take
the complete course of shorthand and
typewriting at a popular price.
First class begins Monday, June 23.
Both courses twenty dollars, one
course fifteen dollars. Phone Maple

For particulars call at 625 East Sec-
ond street.
