COMMUNICATION
PATRoNIzE NEGRO BANKS.

"A ONtZ NEGRO BANKS.
Mr.. Editor:
|. | would be pleased for some erudite
individual to answer this question::
Why do the Negro %fraternal orders
put their Endowment funds in white
banks?' These societies, contain the
best Negro brain, are fostered by
race-loving men; they do much for
the material advancement of our
people along all lines of righteous
endeavor. Then why do they discri-
inmate against banks which are of
ficered by men of energy? The Ne
gro in all walks of life emulate
their leaders; he goes to the lodge
of his choice, sacrificing his time,
money and influence in its behalf;
he works night and day in order that
his lodge may have money, but he
does not care to follow the lead of
men who ignore Negro banks any
longer. He seems to think that
there is something radically wrong
when he is confronted with the cold
and unyielding fact that the treas
urers of these leading Negro societies
will not trust their funds in the
keeping of one who has taken the
same obligation as himself.
These societies claim to be race-lov-
ing, standing for the betterment of
the people each day; their officers
are supposed to be teaching race
pride. Which one Of these orders
will have race pride enough to take
the Negro in its confidence by tell
ing how much money they have on
deposit with the Solvent Savings
Bank, of Memphis; the Peoples Saw
ings Bank and Trust Company, of
Nashville, or the One-Cent Savings
Bank, of Nashville? Please tell us
where this money is. Is it in some
favored white bank, whereby some
one gets prestige at the expense of all
the best people? Is it in some bank
where the treasurer gets so much
per? Explain it to the common peo-
pie so they may know what to expect
of their leaders.
The time now is that safe and sane
business sense should prevail among
Negroes. No institution can long
survive when too much favoritism is
in evidence, and there seems to be
an abundance of it at this time,
which bids no good for the race. 1t
seems that the very people who r.
instrumel%al in all pending law suits
against Negro banks enjoy their
confidence to such an extent that all
of the Negro treasurers put their
lodge money into their keeping.
'"There Is a reason, what is it,"
Negro lodges are supposed to teach
their membership to support institu-
tons Of the race. How can W ex-
poet to give our own people employ
ment when our leaders will not take
kindly to Negro banks and other Ne
gro enterprises?
The average Negro wishes the
banks of his race success. The lead
ers don't seem to care whether the
banks succeed or not. The bank
owned by colored men would be o
able to take care of the business OF
its people, if only they would put
their trust and money therein.

Why We Have Mobs.

T. NAC NNAhP ANok WYNN vi 0 JO0D6
lad, of East Nashville, to avoid a
punishment hs very much deserved,
when he had his playmates tie him
to a tree where he could easily be
found. and his charge that two Ne
groes had committed a henious crime
was one of the best illustrations on
record of the causes that perpetuate
the mob spirit in this country. The
act of the boy can be excused because
Of his age which was reported to be
only thirteen, but the point that is
alarming is that he could conceive of
such a scheme. There is a cause for
this boys hell-inclined mind and 1t
is this that we want to discuss.
In another column will be found
the account of the incident as it first
appeared in the Nashville Bonner,
and following right under it the &C
acknowledgement of the error. We
have endeavored to reproduce the
two articles just as they appeared in
the Banner to show the stress put on
the tale told by the boy. Any man
who can read of such a deed and not
be angered to the point of despera-
ton is not worthy to be called a man,
and the father who would not shoot
on sight a man who would so mis-
treat his child is not worthy to be
called a father. The picture painted
in that article would make the blood
boil in the veins. 1t is awful to
think about two grown up men talk
ing a little thirteen-year-old boy and
subjecting him to such torture, and
any two men who would commit such
a deed would deserve the severest
punishment the courts could inflict
upon them. But no one had mis-
treated this boy. He had not been
tied to the tree all day, but only a
short while and that at his own soil
citation, as will be seen by reading
the acknowledgement of error. But
to gain the sympathy of his parents
and the people of the community this
Child said two Negro men tied him
there in the morning and he had been
in that torture all day. AS young
as he was he knew that if he said
Negroes had done the deed he would
have not only the sympathy Of the
the people, but the press of the South
as we'll.
The daily paper reporter is to be
condemned more than the boy. Yes,
far more; for he it was who painted
the town red with a~story that he
should have had every reason to
doubt. But that inclination to inflict
punishment upon some Negro, wheth-
err guilty or innocent, has been in
dulged to the extent that newspaper

are not great until they have con-
cocted some scheme that will work
up a mob. And the editors of news
papers are no better, for no sooner
than they see that the accused is a
Negro they set about to make room
for the article and on the front
page and order a big head written
for it. This is a condition that con-
fronts the Negro, what can be done?
about it. Is there a remedy?
The Negro has never exhibited the
spirit of anarchism, but more and

WILL TAFT SUPPORT THE DEN
OCRATS?

Since President Taft has laid a re-
l~entless hand on Congress and com.
PEELED it to deal with the Canadian
bin, it can be no less than appropri-
ate that Congress should pass up to
him a series of bills revising Payne
Aldrich schedules, and giving him
the responsibility either OF approving
them or vetoing them. He had no
possible chance to get his reciprocity
measure, except as it became the I'm
derwood bill, bearing the name Of
the Democratic chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. Since Mr..
Underwood and his friends have CIV
en- the President his reciprocity,
might they not fairly expect that the
President in turn would help them to
have their wool bill and their cotton
bill, and also their free list bill
brought to a successful enactment?
There is the more reason for taking
this view of It, because It was we'll
known two years ago that Mr.. Taft
strongly desired the division of those
textile schedules. BY a stroke OF his
hand, Mr.. Taft could easily qualify
as the logical candidate of the Demo-

lmportatio nof African Animals.
The late DIR. W. N. Irwin's bill to
import African animals to this coun-
try has been revived in Congress by
Representative Broussard, of Louis
lana, who gives as his reasons for
doing so that the animals would
cheaper u meat. Others oppose
the scheme on the ground that the
African animal would bring his Afri-
can disease and infect our animals.
DR.. G. M. Rommel, chief of the d.
vision of animal industry, speaking
in opposition to the scheme, strikes
upon a point that is vital to the Ne
gro when he says that he sees in the
reason advanced by the Louisiana
Congressman for ~favoring the bill a
great opportunity for the South. He
cites that cattle can be raised in the
South at 8 cents per pound and ar
CUES that instead of importing from
Africa that the southern farmers
turn their attention to cattle raising
to much greater extent than is now
the case.
We see in this suggestion a SPLEEN
did opportunity for the Negroes of
the South to engage in an industry
that is profitable, and we would ad-
wise that more attention be given to
stock raising by the Negro farmers
of the South. Especially should the
Negroes of Tennessee engage in
stock raising more extensively, for
no state in the Union is better adapt
ed to this industry than Tennessee.
We have always believed that the
genuine democrats of Middle Ten
nessee would have a genuine demo-
cratic paper. The appearance of
THE Democrat" will be awaited with
anxiety.
