NO MORTGAGES TO BOTHER.

The Mechanics Savings Bank has
had standing offer to timid
depositors TO come and get their
money II they desired so TO do. be-
ing satisfied that practical dem
onstration of that banks ability to
pay would be the strongest argu-
ment as TO its stability and as TO
the nature OF its backing in the
financial centres OF this city and
New York. IL has also emphasized
the fact that It has not placed any
mortgages on any OF it's real estate
holdings and that there is no mort
gage on its recently-erected palatial
banking house on the northwest cor.
ner OF Third an1 Clay Streets. Few
people know that IL numbers white
people among its depositors. and
none OF these have called for their
money.

CaustIc Remarks.
Editor Richmond Planet:
The rise and fall OF a great fra
ternal, financial organization among
the Negro people is the absorbing
topic among the people OF Washing
ton at the present time.
"Can the True Reformers come
baCk'2" Is the paramount thought
and talk not only of the members of
this once powerful organization, but
with all classes OF Washingtou's
population, especially those inter
estcd in Negro thrift and wealth, as
these pertain to the financial ven
lures OF the race.
y RACE ENTERPRISE GRAVE
YARD.
Possibly, upon the ability OF this
organization TO come back" re
habintate itself ana restore itself
again into the condolences OF the
masses. rests the success and the
perpetuity OF similar organizations
OF the race which have been in
auguTated In progressive Richmond.
Washington Is strewn with the
wrecks of financial ventures i'm the
interest OF the Negro people-The
Freedman's Bank, the Capital Saw
ings Bank and other similar orga-
nizations long since lost and mourn
ed for. In their fall were buried
the savings of tens OF thousands OF
hard-working, frugal Negroes. Rec
objections OF these failures cause
hope 20 sink in the breast OF the
average intelligent Negro as TO the
ability OF the True Reformers TO
come back"
THE REASON FOR CONFIDENCE.
For more than two years there
had been rumOred whisperings OF
the growing instability Of the orga-
nization with its bank and other
side interests. But these whisper
ings were taken with big grain
