GOOD OLD SUMNER TINE CROWD.

One serious mistake has befallen
our people that works disaster to
their progress. 1t is the idea that
they cannot or will not work steady
during the warm season, but mus
lay off and in many cases actually
quit a good job because it is too
hot to work. This one thing has
caused as many doors of occupa-
ton to be closed against our peo-
pie as anything else. 1t is a dew
ilish idea, born of stupidity and
fostered by laziness and unworthy
of a people who must make every
opportunity in the game of life
count. The worlds business
must be carried on in the summer
time as well as in the winter, and
the man or woman who wantonly
refuses to work during the hot
spell should be denied the priv-i
lege when the weather is more fav-
orable. The number of young Ne
groes sauntering along the streets
or hanging about the club doors
and pool rooms exhibiting their
smart alec cloths and foolish talk
and the young misses and old ones
too for that matter, who go parad-
ing the thoroughfares and shopp-
ing districts with guaze shirt
waist exposing their breasts and
half of their backs, spending their
time and money drinking Ice cream
soda, while calls upon calls for
help and good wages are offered
them. Let us be up and doing,
Go to work, stay at work and let
your work show for something
tangiable. Summer is work time,
winter is the time to rest.

A FINE ADDRESS.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a synopsis of an address de-
ivered by Mr.. James H. Pershing,
at the Peoples Alliance, last Sun
day. A better address has not
been heard before this body. 1t
was classic in its sphere Clear,
sane, logical and timely. The
speaker did not attempt to hatter
his audience or insult their iptelli-
gence with lot of slush as many
white speakers called to address
colored audiences do, but he sim
ly told in a straight forward way
the ''Perils to Negro Citizenship
He showed that certain perils dc
now and always will confront a
weaker race and the only escape
lay in, 1. Political Freedom, 2. Ec-
onomic Freedom and Bird. Moral
Freedom. That salvation must be
had from within and not from
without.

Los Angeles, August 21.- When
a suit filed in the Superior Court
to day comes to trial, the Banning
company will have an opportunity
of stating whether colored persons
are received as guests at the Met
ropole hotel or elsewhere ON Cata-

guy and ridicule. He is suing the

sons who, he was Informed, are in

pany, and who, he says, threatened
to arrest him if he did not leave
the island.

Recently in the east a train was
held half an hour while Jim Hyde
dressed. He is the millionaire pro
fiigate who brought the Equita BILE
I'M urance company into disrepute.
There were scores of people on the
train who wanted to pursue their
respective journeys. But Jim had
oversight. Some were hungering to
see long absent friends. But Jim
yawned and ordered the train to
wait. He had the dough. There
were tired mothers with fretful
children anxious to get home. But
Jim pulled his socks on leisurely.
He owned stock in the road. Old
folks grew tired waiting and looked
YEARLY from the windows and
wondered why the train didn't
move. But Jim had to put collar
buttons in a clean shirt. Passenger
trains are made to accommodate the
rich you know. Common people
and live stock should 60 by freight.
People missed connections at the
other end of the line while Jim
tied his shoes and while he denied
his hat the time limit expired on a
poor DEVILS ticket. But Jim was
Jim you know and he had to be
respected. Suppose a few of the
common herd were anxious to get
to the bedside of dying loved ones or
to reach a city hospital with a
suffering friend! What of it, Didn't
Jim have to rub his eyes and wash
his teeth and put rosebud in his
coat? Of course he did! What right
have the common herd to howl
about railroad favoritism?

THE STAY-AT-HOMES.

Not every one desires to take q
vacation during the summer and the
stay -at-homes are in alarge majority
When the mercury is up in the
nineties and not a breath of air is
stirring they ale inclined to envy
the minority who are taking their
ease at the seashore, on the lakes OF
in the mountains. But there are
seasons when the stay Vat homes
have the better of it, and this sum-
mer seems to be one Of them. All
is not gold that glitters and vaca-
tions are not always what they are
cracked up to be. There is pleasure
to be sure and profit in the change
of scene, but there is also much
privation and discomfort. Travel is
not always the acme of delight, and
the luxuries to which one is &C.
customed when at home can o Iy be
had way from there at very high
cost. People who take vacations
rarely are unable to obtain at reason
able prices the dishes of which they
are fond nor can they find outside
of expensive places the hundred
and one little comforts which con-
tribute so much to the satisfaction
of life.
The stay-at-homes can live normal
lives, keep regular hours, do not
have to risk strange dishes, can
dress as they like without regard
for Mrs. Grundy, can retain their
self-respect by not having to do
what others do unless they so de-
sire, can sleep in their own beds
and can congratulate themselves
upon the many pleasures and
privileges which they daily enjoy.
A Chicago gentleman returned to
his home IN desirable suburb a
few evenings ago and announced
to his wife his annual vacation and
asked them to name the place to
which they wished to go for the
month of August. The good wife
thought for moment. and then de-
clared that as far as she was con-
cerned she preferred to stay at
home where she was comforta-
be and that if the head of the house
approved of her decision he was well
come to hand over the amount which
a trip would cost and that she would
make good use of it within the home.
This is one side of the story. The
other is that we have a wonderful
country full of strange and beauti-
full places which those who can
should see. Then the change from
the routine of life opens up the head
and heart and vacations are GER
tainly worth in mental afauence a
good share of what they cost.
