WE CAN SPARE TEN THOUSAND

The country seems to be needlessly
working itself into a fever of excite
ment over the Specter of an exodus
supposed to be in process of incubation,
with Special Commissioner T. Thomas
Fortune as incubator-in-chief. There
is nothing in the interview given out
from Honolulu TO indicate that Mr..
Fortune has any idea of advising the
Negro to get out of the United States
in pell-mell rush for the Hawaiian or
Philippine EldOrado. His observations
so far, are necessarily superficial and
general, and he spoke after that
fashion when he referred to labor con-
ditiOns and the uses to which a limited
number of seasoned field hands could
be put in the development of the pro-
ducts peculiar to the Hawaiian group.
The natives are not equal to handling
the work satisfactorily to the men who
wish to invest heavily, and as Negro
labor is reliable and experienced, Mr..
Fortune sees at a glance a better
harbOr there for those Negroes who
wish to emigrate than to fly to the in
hospitable shores of the Dark Contin-
ent. The departure of 10000 Negroes
in a period of six months would not
be an alarming exodus-we would not
miss them. We are not sure that it
would not be a good idea to invite that
number to take service in the islands
as an experiment. There are plenty
of young middle-aged Negroes who
have no family instinct, and who have
TO future to speak of in the South or
anywhere on continental America. 1t
is not to be expected that heads of
families will sacrifice their holdings
or opportunities here. for removal
would he attended bv hardships which
would fall upon their dependents If
the race is to develop the pioneer
spirit. the untrammeled and adventur-
Gus elements must strike out for these
new fields and see what there is in
them of substance and profit. Mr.
Fortune can be relied upon to return a
report that will set forth actual con-

THE CAPITAT SAVINGS BANK IN
EQUITY.

Now that receivers have been ap-
pointed to take hold of the affairs of
the Capital Savings Bank, and
the business is in a fair way to
be adjusted to the advantage of all
concerned, it may be we'll to say a
word or two in calm and dispassionate
spirit.
No calamity has happened in this
city in many years that touched our
people so vitally as the collapse of
this time-honored institution. The
crash was wholly unexpected. for since
II so bravely weathered the awful crisis

much confidence in its sea-worthiness.

to the country for its matured con-
cluSiOns.

1t is not frequent that The Cclored

in ieOpardy-When the sacrifices of

nave gone for naught. But we must
not be too haSty and run the risk of
losing the remnant that is left in
mad desire for the immediate punish
ment of some individual to whose mis-
management or worse the disaster may
be due. The assets of a business in
which upwards of a thousand persons
are engaged cannot be determined or
realized upon in a moment and the in
tereSted ones must possess their souls
in patience if the happiest results are

as any one that there should have been
what appeared to be unSeemly delay
on the part of the stockholders in max
ing a statement, as definite as possible,
of what they would try to do, or what
they were willing to dc for the benefit
of the depositOrs. Prompt action might
have allayed much ill-feeling, and
hushed many expressions of resent
ment. Be that as it may, the thing to
do now is to gather up the fragments,
and to discover some way in which
new concern can be built up, and con-
fidence restored to the normal degree
That a mistake has been made some
where in oVerconfidence, is very evil
dent, but it will not be fair to de-
nounce the whole directorate as cor
rupt or venal until evidence is adduced
to bear out such a charge. The bank
had at it's head an aggregation of
gentlemen of character, means, and
capacity that it would be difficult to
duplicate in any community in the
land They represent the best we
have in education, social standing and
personal achievement. If in this band
there is some rotten timber, some wolf
in sleeps clothing, we believe the
Worthier members will not be content
until the guilty one is exposed and
held up to the anathema and contempt
of the widows and orphans he has
made to suffer, and to the wrath or
the enterprising men he has retarded
in their upward march The frank
and manly attitude of Messrs. Terrell,
Montgomery, Lotion, McKinlay and
others, in offering to bear their fuil
share of the burden, gives us reason
for a hope that a way out OF the dark
ness may be found. The people have
not lost all faith in the men VINO nave
been "Cn the level" and it may not
be too late to re-organize under a new
name, and begin the battle for bus1-
ness on a stronger and better plan. 1t
will take time, of course, but there is
no need for despair. The most reput-

Is that any argument that banks are
all rotten and they must cease to figure
in our commercial economy? A bank is
a necessity, and especially do we need
an institution that will receive and
care for small sums, for we are COM
PEELED, as a people, to deal in small
figures financially.
The Colored American is friendly
to both the directors and the deposi-
tors 1t sympathizes with all in the
unhappy plight in which circumstances
have placed them. Let us felicitate
ourselves, however, that the affairs of

and cling to the hope that out OF the
maze will come an ultimate solution.

That's what. people like to read about, and why shouldn't they? For instance: We have just one lot of sleeve ironing boards, the regular price of which is 25 cents each. This week you can have them at 10 cents each at our store; they are the most service able article you can bring into the house nowadays. If you don't believe us ask someone who is using one. "Nuffsed." Then, again, we have one lot of light caps, different colors, such as the boys like to wear when playing ball CT the men folks wear while working in the shop; in fact, we've seen ladies wearing them while taking an automobile dash along Broadway. Now we are going to sell these caps at 4 cents each while they last, and they are worth 25 cents; therefore, you see we have bargains galore. But the best bargain of all is when you buy 8 pound of our warranted 50-cent Tea and get four bars of best laundry soap with it. Then, again, our 2o-cent Butter is a bargain because other peo- ple are selling not as good for 2S and 30 cents, therefore. remember the bar. gains this week at
