THERE WILL BE A NEGRO IN IT.
The great miners' union headed by Mr. Rockerfeller, Jr., in
Colorado has a colored man to represent the laborers as Grievance
Committeeman. When Mr. Rockerfeller visited the mines a few
days ago Mr. Mitchell, the Negro, was one of the two men he in-
terviewed.
THE GERMAN CONTROVERSY.
It is gratifying to learn that Germany has conceded to this
country our contention that the seas be and remain free. It appears
to us that the Kaiser is winning his way put for to Russia and that
it must be at least expensive to maintain an army in that country
this winter.
Now that the Allies have borrowed our money to pay for pow-
der and guns, we are not surprised if we are not considered neutral
by the German allies.
REV. JESSE PECK HUMILITAED.
The Los Angeles church refuses to have the Rev. Jesse Peck re-
turn, and Bishop Parks is not wanted on the district any longer after
making the terrible blunder and the Los Angeles church refuses to
extend to him the courtesies of honor due his high igh office. This
makes Bishop Parks back down and he must send a new man to
Los Angeles. Some wanted to retain Dr. Greggs. Rev. Peck goes
to Portland. Although the Sunshine had previously announced the
appointment. Rev. Peck absolutely refused to be directed by our
forecast and preferred to^wait for conference to fix things, gets in
big mess and is transferred, just as the Sunshine predicted. Bishop
Parks can't fill the shoes of the late Bishop Grant.
It is to be hoped that the 15th-street Church will be supplied
with a pastor in keeping with their wishes customs and practices.
If we were a shouting and noisy bunch we would like a minister
with plenty of fire but we are not fiery or loud, and we do not want
these old-time fire-eaters who reach up, as it were, on the throne
and bring down blessings. It is further hoped that the officers of
the Negro churches will see to it that the trustees and officers do
their duty and lift their offerings and not have the pastor lowering
his dignity by begging his head off and that, too, right after his
sacred sermon. Let the officers do the begging and run the business
end of the church without being insulted.
WHAT THE SUNSHINE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
What of the "Clansman"?
Can we have a Negro Business League in Oakland or a forum
or something where the men of business affairs can get together
and exchange views?
Can we say that some of our wealthy and distinguished colored
citizens that have visited us and the Exposition this year will re-
main on the coast? We have plenty of room for the right parties.
EQUAL RIGHTS IN FRANCE
The Diagne. Bill Gives Military Priv-
ileges io All Alike.
Paris.—The chamber of deputies In
thla city bus three colored deputies rep-
resenting the colonies from which they
are sent by the suffrage of their fellow
citizens. A dispatch from Paris re-
cently sa;s that the race and color
question that was raised In the French
chamber of deputies by the bill of the
Negro deputy, M. Diagne, representing
Senegal, providing for the extension of
general compulsory military service In
France to colonial municipalities whose
Inhabitants enjoy French citizenship,
was presented In numerous new lights
and complications at the session of the
chamber.
The question of how to apportion a
pension in cases of polygamVt Sene-
galese leaving several widows proved
a poser for the deputies. The minis-
ter of war and the military committee
of the chamber approved the genera?
provisions of the Diagne bill, which
provide for the incorporation with
the regular French forces of the Sene-
galese subject to compulsory service.
The action of the committee was Im-
mediately attacked by Deputy La-
broue, who pictured the difficulties
arising from the pvesence in the French
army of soldiers unable to speak
French and of different religion and
social customs.
Deputy Labroue also raised the ques-
tion of confusion in the payment of
pensions to the widows of polygamous
Senegalese. He proposed an amend-
ment providing for the Incorporation
of such troops in native regiments en-
titled -o pensions and the other rights
of French cldzens. The speaker was
frequently interrupted by protests from
ship rally at the Witherspoon Presby-
terian church the last week In Septem-
ber. The society was organized eight
years ago and has accomplished much
good.
who came down to the south, braving
abuse from the rabble and ostracism
from the thoughtless people of that
section, I am glad to offer my humble
testimony to the zeal and devotion of
ihose southern white women.
Their mantle may have fallen on oth-
ers who today even in the state of
Georgia may be laboring side by side
with the good men and women from
the north who are successfully striv-
ing* to prepare the Negro more fully to
discharge the high responsibilities of
American citizenship.
Soon this nation may be called upon
as the champion of liberty to make
good our claim by representing to the
world a bold and undivided front, but
how shall we do so while 10,000,000
of loyal citizens are ruthlessly and
continually discriminated against?
What we need at this time as never
before are such measures as tend to
harmonize the various elements that
enter into the development of that lib-
erty of which Lincon spoke at Gettys-
burg.

SAMUEL WILLIAMS' VIEWS.
Questions Wisdom of Georgia's Pro
posed Color Line Law For Teachers.
There is much logic in the article of
Mr. Samuel Williams of Windsor, VL,
with reference L« the attitude of the
Georgia legislature toward N^hite teach-
ers in schools for color'- * people. Mr.
Williams says:
1 learned through the newspaper*
recently that a measure had been
passed jy one branch of the legisla-
ture of the state of Georgia barring
white teachers from colored schools.
For the honor o_ «iiat state, the nation
and the constitution it is to be hoped
it will fail to become a law. as It cer-
, tainly could not be classed as coustruc-

Mr. A. M. Moore,. M.D., Secretary of
the North Carolina Mutual Insurance
Co., one of the foremost business enter-
prises in the LTnited States conducted by
Negroes, was a pleasant caller at our
office on last Monday, September 20th.
Dr. Moore is one of the founders of the

The management of the Lincoln set-
tlement on Fleet place, Brooklyn, is
very much encouraged over the play-
ground facilities for the children of the
neighborhood. Tfca grounds were in-
spected recently at a public function
held at the settlement and were pro-
nounced by expert social workers to
be up to the mark In *-^th management
and equipment.
The institution has had a hard strug-
gle for the past five years. The im-
mediate friends of the settlement have
been loyal to it and have given liber-
ally of their time and money for Its
maintenance. About eighteen months
ago an appeal to the public was made
for funds with which to carry on the
work. The response was quite gener- '
ous. Through the efforts and influence i
of the officials a sufficient sum was
raised to put the building In first class
condition, making more room and bet-
ter facilities for taking care of tha
large number of children.
The building is under the direct su-
pervision of Dr. V. Morton-Jones, a
well known and capable physician and
social worker. Mrs. Jones has created
great interst in the work and won
many friends to its support. She is
assisted by other competent women in
looking after the various details in
connection with the day nursery,
games, etc.
Funds, however, are needed, and the
public of Brooklyn and any other cities
is asked to aid in this worthy work for
the little ones of our race. The white
people have been very generous toward
the institution from its laeeptlon. The
building Is located at 105 Fleet place.
The officers of the Lincoln settlement
are: Miss Mary White Ovlngton, presi-
dent; Dr. Henry Neumann, first vice
president; Dr. William M. Brundage,
second vice president; Mr. W. D. O-
Field, treasurer, 224 Henry street; Mrs.

Georgia's Educational Color Lfcte Law.
In discussing the matter of white
teachers In schools for colored people
at the south the New York Everting
Post wisely says: "Both races will
profit by the close relationship, and no
one will profit more than the white
people of the south, for to them the
Negro question is much more important
than it is to the northerner. At the
same time it is a national problem,
and If Georgia writes this law on her
statute books she will offend not only
herself, but the whole countf y, by tak-
ing a step toward the complication and
not toward the solution of the problem.*

I "ias a sufferer from liver, kidney trouble

discouraged. The doctors told me I would
have te undergo an operation, but as I could
not think of this I decided, as a last resort
to try Dr. Woo's treatments. From the first
I began to improve and have entirely re
gained my health without an operation. 1

After the civil war. when things be
came somewhat settled, many white
ladies in the south, being reduced in
circumstances, entered schools that
had been established for colored chil-
dren as teachers. Some had been large
slave owners, and their object was not
purely mercenary. They desired to re-
pair in part the damage done by the
cruel system of which they had form-
ed a part
They began their '^bors, it is «»ue,
with no very high opinion of the men-
tal capacity of the Negro, but soon
learned to love their work, and in
many instances showed tender solici-
tude for those under their care, visit-
ed them in sickness and personally
sought the tardy and delinquent.
During my later school years It was
my good fortune to have as teachers
three ladies of the class to which 1 re
