“First in Service”
SOME THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED
The characteristic of a good financier is his diversified hold
ings of securities. The remarkable ability of an executive may be
attributed to his interest in solving more than one individual prob
lem. The respect for a Statesman is because of his scope of knowl
edge on various public and international affairs. This nation is the
combined representation of a great variety of nationalities, all,
supposedly, meeting on an equal plane of citizenship and vested
with the inalienable rights of being an American. Being possessed
with this privilege, it should be the aim of each citizen to endeavor
to give his best interest and service to the success of the nation,
of which he is a part; not to only such measures that affect him
as an individual or his respective nationality group.
Whether or not the American Negro enjoys the rights of life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness is a question too well known to
debate. Despite the tremendousness of unsatisfactory measures
we are forced to accept, but not without objection, we may still
find many situations almost as vital to our interest as those we
give the most thought and study. We have taken interest, in a
great many instances, in only such matters as pertains to us as a
Race. There has been little attention given to sponsoring of ob
jecting to such legislative proceeding that affect our economic
status. The tax issue is one of the big features in Congress at
present. The financing of agricultural and diversified dairy proj
ects are others of vital importance. At present few of the Race
have taken interest in any proposition other than the Dyer Bill,-
which is of utmost importance to us as a group, and no one can be
called a loyal Race citizen unless he has given his efforts to help
support the measure. But beside this one important law we de
sire most to see passed, let us consider the tax proposition, the
immigration question, universal peace and such other things that
are vital to the welfare of every citizen. Those who doubt that we
should be interested in the reduction or increase of private or cor
poration tax should remember our home owners and business men.
Those who are not concerned over the imigration question should
become convinced that all imported labor affects the value of Amer
ican labor, and every Negro employed on a job is jeopardized fn
the same extent as other labor. Those who are inclined to think
of universal peace as none of our affairs may remember the days
of 19i7 when our boys shouldered a rifle to defend this nation.
Whether or not full citizenship is accorded the Negro, these should
and do concern us. Despite the fact we are paramountly interested
m the Dyer Bill, we must begin to give more thought to national
questions of grave importance that affects us as citizens as well
as a group.
Noted Lawyer in
Opinion on Two
Race Versions
Evans-Zangwill Debate Causes
Edward H. Morris to Write
His Views.
(Chicago Daily News)
“All students of American life and
of human relations generally are
deeply interested in the grave and ur
gent problems discussed by Dr. H. W.
Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku-
Klux klan, and Israel Zangwill, great
and high minded Jew. in The Daily
News last Saturday," said Edward 11.
Morris, distinguished colored lawyer
of Chicago, and lifelong thinker on
the status of his race among civilized
men. Dr. Morris, as his legal confer
ees in Chicago know especially well,
has a mind naturally keen, disciplin
ed by rigorous use, and ripened by
forty years’ experience at the bar.
"One is pleased to note the good
temper with which these controver
sialists present their respective points
of view,” continued Mr. Morris. “In
what I have to say I trust I shall show
myself equally free from heat. At the
outset I wish to make it clear that I
do not agree with Mr. Zangwili in re
garding Dr. Evans as a naive man—
an ingenuous man going wrong. On
the contrary, I have great respect for
Dr. Evans’ understanding both of him
self and of his movement. I also have
a great respect for his power of ex
pression. I should deem him a very
formidable pleader upon a public
platform.
Bate, Creed, Color, Only Pawns.
“Ku-Kluxisra, in my opinion—Ku-
Kluxism as apprehended by Dr. Evans
and as we see it unfolding before our
eyes—is a cold-blooded deeply-calcu
lated, able bid for political and social
domination in this country. Dr. Evans
and his friends want to run America.
I believe —race, creed and color con
cern them only as pawns in a game.
They think they know how to more
these pawns to win the game. Dr.
Brans’ broad humanltarianlsm—l
may misjudge him, I may be wrong,
but I am giving you my honest opin
ion—seems to me but a smoke screen
to hide his real intention. I think he
la endeavoring to mass the hatreds
of the many for the benefit of the
few.
"These Ku-Kluxers, as I view them,
are men dreaming of lost things and
planning to get these things back.
They have lost domination. They have
lost authority. They have lost power.
These possessions have passed into
pther hands and lie behind almost im
pregnable defenses. Ku-Kluxers want
to breach these defenses and sieze
domination, authority, power. They
are dreaming and scheming not only
for themselves, but for their children
and their children's children, they
are taking the long view.
Fear to Share Victory
"Let us try to analyze their strat
egy. They are expecting victory.
’What,' they are asking themselves,
‘do we want the position to be when
we win?’ Obviously, they do not want
the Jews to be among the victors.
The Jews are the money men of the
world, the masters of finance, hence
powerful in the domain of business
and, indeed, in every domain if the
Jews were among the victors,. clearly
they would be entitled to. and would
claim, their share of the spoils of
war. Thus the Ku-Klux policy Is to
make them Ineligible to membership
In this power-seeking organization,
with its masks and sheets and pictur
esque crypticisms. Ku-Kluxers, when
they win—if they win—desire to dic
tate to, not to be dictated to, by the
Jews.
“If a Ku-Klux victory, with the
Jews in it, would be barren from the
standpoint of the creators and con
trollers of the klan, so it would be
comparatively barren if it succeeded
with the Catholics in it. Catholics in
this country include the Irish of this
country, in the rough reckoning. Ir
ishmen are politicians. They know
how to get Into and to hold the pub
lic ofTiceo of great municipalities like
Boston, New York and Chicago. If
the Kluxers marched to victory with
Irish officers and men in their army,
who doubts that the Irishmen wouhl
demand their share of the spoils? So
it befalls that the Ku-Klux dream
and inclusion of the Irishman become
incompatible, and the Irishman is
barred from this converging move
ment upon the places of command
over our political and social deatlnlea

ji Timely Topics jj
Buying a Town
(Washington Tribune)
The purchasing from the govern
ment of the town of Truxton, Va., by
a syndicate of Negoes of the Tidewa
ter section of Virginia, for the pur
pose of keeping that property within
the race, is a concrete example of the
power of the dollar and what econom
ics can do for the race.
After all his said and done, the Ne
goes of the United States must get
down to rock, bottom in economics
and build a substantial progress that
will be dependable and sure. There
is too muah stress placed upon pol
itics as a salvation for the race. The
teal salvation and the one sure av
enue to travel to that salvation i* la
beled "economtes.|” The race needs
more paying jobs and a complete un
derstanding of the value ana power of
tae dollar—how to assemble and hus
band the dollar so that it may be
placed and used where and in such
way that it will bring the best re
turns commensurate with sound econ
om'c investments.
Bv purchasing of land, the organ
izing of the farmers producing cot
ton, and by proper financing, the Ne
gro farmer of the South could control
the world’s supply of cotton. Ths
control of the supply of that one
world staple would bring more recog
nition and power in one year than all
tin* political jobs that can be doled to
a few "Uncle Toms’’ in a quarter of
a century.
locally, we should be filling more
positions with the various public serv
ice corporations than we are now fill
in..'. Take the telephone and tele
graph companies here: how many \e
.?oe? do they employ? The street car
companies are rot employing any Ne
groes other tnau as laborers. The
gas, water and electric light com
panics do not give the Negro consid
eration as an employee. Taks the
large chain sto-.es and the big depart
ment stores, aii of which are patron
ized by the 112,364 Negoes of Wash
ington; none cf them give the Negio
a proportionate opportunity to earn
the money that they invito him to
spend with them. Can we not de
mand recognition from any or a:I of
these concerns proportionate to the
dollars that we are spending with
then. ?

“WEE”
There's a wee little strut in her wee dainty step,
And a wee little wink in her eye.
There's a wee little feed whenever she’s met,
With a wee little kiss good-bye.
There's a wee little ankle peeps out 'neath her skirt,
And a wee little crimp in her hair;
And a wee little tear, when she’s wee little hurt,
That a wee little hug will repair.
There’s a wee little rouge on her wee brown cheek,
Where a wee little dimple holds sway,
And a wee little mouth that flusters me so
I forget all my smart repartee.
’Deed she’s a although little a miss,
And I foster a wee hope that she—
Her name? Oh, it’s probably legion, my boy;
But it's just “Pretty Brownie,” to me.

To Aid Ousting
Of Crossland
Head of Tuskegee Alleged to
Have Entered Intrigue With
White Commander.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The
United States hospital for disabled
Negro veterans here is a hotbed of
political intrigue, the object of which
is the position of commanding officer
now being filled by Dr. Charles M.
Griffith, white.
The central figure in the scheme,
It is alleged, is Dr. J. R. A. Cross
land, former technical assistant in
charge of colored trainees, United
States Veterans’ Bureau, Washing
ton, D. C. Playing opposite him Is
Major R. R. Moton, principal of
Tuskegee Institute. The lesser fig
ures In the plot are Dr. Griffith. Dr.
Joseph H. Ward, Major Johnson and
a host of aides and allies, who move
stealthily at the command of one of
the leading figures.
Moton Asks Removal.
The story as told today is that
Major Moton is demanding the re
moval of Dr. Crossland. In this he
is aided by Dr. Griffith. Dr. Cross
land, on the other hand, it is charged,
has conspired to bring about the ap
pointment of Major Johnkon as suc
cessor to Dr. Griffith with the under
standing that he, Grassland, would
become the executive officer of the
hospital. Dr. Moton says that he fa
vors a colored head for this hospital,
but he is opposed to the removal of
Dr. Griffith as long as Crossland re
mains.
The chargee against Dr. Crossland
are that he is inciting the community
to riot; that he is conspiring for the
elevation of another white man, and
that he sends out false information
in regard to conditions at the hos
pital and in the community.
Crossland's Letters.
Just what all this plotting is about
can best be gained froift correspond
ence of Dr. Crossland, copies of which
have fallen Into the hands of the
enemy. He writes a senator as fol
lows:
