MLMBER.'K eJjFIRST IN "•OFvv is RUj£"" v SERVICE A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.—Proverbs. o COMMENCEMENT TIME Graduation days will soon be here and our boys and girls will come forth from the schools and colleges filled with ambition and bubbling with enthusiasm. The question arises as to suit able employment for them. What have we to offer? Who is to blame because of the fact that we have nothing suitable to offer them ? Have we done our part at home while they were away at school? These are questions we must answer. No dodging the issue, we must face it squarely. Our own conscience condemns us, because we know full well that we have not done our duty. Race enterprises furnish the answer for this perplexing question, and we of this section have few if any worthy ones to which we may point. And, too, have we supported liberally with our means the few’ worthy enter prises we have? I fear we have not. Who, then, is to blame for this sad state of affairs? Had we throw’ll our support to those of our race wdio launched out in business, they would have posi tions to offer some of these boys and girls. As it is, w’e have nothing to offer them and must content ourselves, and they will have to be contented with such menial positions as our friends of the opposite race see fit to offer them. This condition is de plorable and it is high time for us to take cognizance of the fact and start doing something for ourselves. If a boy spends four years in college and when he comes home to his parents is forced to accept a position as elevator operator, what inducement is that to others to continue their education ? They will reason thus: “What is the use of wasting all that time in school when no special training is required to fill the position held by one of our college graduates?” His reason ing is good, sound and logical, and unless we combine our re sources, operate businesses of our own and MAKE positions for these boys and girls, we cannot hope to induce our children to continue their education. Our salvation and the salvation of our children lie within our power; therefore, let us bestir ourselves, aw’ake to the sense of our duty and get busy. o TEN RULES TO OBSERVE The race that fails to do all within its power to uplift itself will never rise. It is the Divine plan that the strong shall help the weak, but God himself does not do for us w’hat we can do for ourselves. This is true of the individual and of one race as it is of another. Much has been done; much is being done, and much must be done to help the backward races to rise. Friends in the North and friends in the South are helping the Negro, and while many are disposed to feel that we have been helped sufficiently, those who know the condition of the masses realize that we are now T lacing social problems more serious than we have ever faced, and unless friends in the North and friends in the South combine to lift the mass of Negroes, both races will suffer. While this is true, it must also be remembered that there are some things that our best friends cannot do for us. Money, sympathy and outside help count much, but the main thing, the mind to rise, comes from developing our innate pow’ers. It matters ifot how poor or how ignorant we are, whether we live in the North or in the South, in the East or in the West, we can do much for ourselves that will count more in real advancement than the gift of thousands of dollars from friends who are anx ious to see us go forward. I believe that there are just ten things that affect, most vitally, our progress that we alone can and must do. First, we must get right with God, and make our religion prac tical. Less noise, and feeling more quiet, wholesome, every-day living. Second, we must be honest, truthful, and more reliable. Third, we must keep our bodies clean. Fourth, we must keep our homes clean. \ Fifth, we must keep our yards clean, back and front. Sixth, we must stop hanging over the gate and out of the window. Seventh, we must behave ourselves better on the street and in public carriers and stop talking so much and loud. Eighth, we must make the word “Negro” a synonym for honest, cleanliness, intelligence, industry, righteousness, by doing so with our might what our hands find to do. Ninth, w’e must be loyal and helpful to our race by encourag ing all worthy efforts put forth for its uplift. We must present a solid front in all questions affecting the proper development of our race. Tenth, we must respect our women; educate our children; and stay out of the dive. Where we have the franchise we must vote for men who are opposed to vice and men who will work for a true democracy.—Ex. Sen. McCormick Believes Some Good Has Come From Recent Outbreaks (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, 111., April In a letter, recently sent by Senator Meddl Mc- Cormick of Illinois, to the Associated Negro Press on the migration of the race from the south to the north the senator has this to say: “The migration of agricultural workers to industrial centers, the economic developments in the indus trial field, have profoundly modified, and will more profoundly modify, the environment of a large part of the colored population of the country. The violent outbreaks in some of our cities, to which lawless elements of both races immediately contributed, have borne some good fruit. Leaders of the colored and white races, pub lic-spirited, wise and prudent, have joined their purposes to secure an ad justment of the differences Uetween colored and' white people, to their common advantage and advancement.” ——o HUSBANDS LACKING, WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT ON WOMEN OF THE WORLD? (By Dr. Constance Long. English Physician) The emotional problem, the problem created by the fact that something like ten millions of men lost their lives in the war, is one of the su preme questions which must be faced in summing up war’s effect upon wom en. To say just what will happen is difticult, but it is certain that mill ions who would have married cannot do so under today’s conditions. Women will have to find their own way out. Emotions which might have been expressed in marriage will have to be diverted. One of the conditions which have kept women inferior has l.'sen the fact that they were depend ent upon men for their happiness. However natural and necessary this may have been up to a certain point it must not now be considered a trag edy if woman finds new values in herself. She will be forced also to find equivalent values in other direc tions. Changes therefore are inevi table and we must not be too ready to say what is right and what is wrong. The banked up energy which would naturally be expressed in marriage will find effective expression. It won’t be wasted. It has been said that women have not in times past made great artists nor first-rate scientists. We may have come to'the time when they will begin to do big things. Some one has said that "what the world needs is a generation of single women.” That means that the world needs feminine energy devoted to cre ative purposes and not entirely ab sorbed in married life. This is not to say that married life should be underrated or robbed of the genius that It needs. It is to em phasize that the whole of life is not included in marriage, and that the war, having brought about unnatural conditions, affords woman an oppor tunity to adapt her sex and her power to making a new status for herself. o A little authority is ofttimes like a little learning, a dangerous thing in the hands of a little mind. The years pass, but tomorrow is ever tomorrow. vU P Oflppsyte’llT , I Y Miss V'-lvot Brown: ‘My Hair and skin are in f i r, ii hi i wretched condition.

SOTHERN VISITS HOWARD UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D. C. —E. S. Sothern, the great dramatist, who with his wife, Julia Marlowe, has been playing to capacity audiences in Washington for two weeks, paid an unusual compliment to the officers, j teachers, and students of Howard ! University by reading to them from Shakespearean dramas and front other | selections on Friday, April 9th, fti : Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Be ! cause of conditions in Washington, the colored people have not been per mitted to see or hear Sothern and 1 Marlowe read the Battle Hymn of the Mr. Sothern and Miss Marlowe paid | Hie colored people the compliment of i reading to them at Howard Univer ■ sity and at the Dunbar high school during their visit to Washington. Miss Marlowe read the aßttle Hyntn of the Republic at the Dunbar high school, Put was prevented by the many de mands upon her from appearing at ! Howard University. Mr. Sothern was most generous ill his rendition of se lections. For more than an hour he read one selection after another, giv ing the students and teachers of the university full opportunity to appre ciate his finished art. IDs intro ductory addresses at both places on the valor of the colored troops he met in France, and on the pleasure and satisfaction it gave him to meet the colored people of Washington during his stay here, were warmly applauded, i Seldom has he received so generous i a welcome anywhere as given him by the representative colored people of j Washington who gathred at both How ard University and the Dunbar high l school with officers, teachers, and | students of those institutions to greet him and his distinguished wife. j o j DR.
