Every city, town and hamlet in this country
raising much moley the people will stand
for in order to enter into a publicity compaign
with the veiw of making the place grow by attract
ting settlers from the rural districts and other
municipalities all of which reminds of the Off
GERS of the law of this and that town ordering
undesirable characters to move on, go to some
other town and impose upon the other fellow, in
other words, you have been caught doing the wrong
thing here. and not wanting to be burdened with
you, an opportunity is given you to move on and
work the other fellow. For this or any other
community to congregate armies of unemployed to
have big town is simply criminal The towns of
Washington are growing a hundred times faster
than the surrounding country. There are ten men
for every job in the city while on the other hand
there ten jobs for every in the country.
and nspte of the scarcity of labor in the country
the city dlers absolutely refuse to go to the
country and do the work though wages are bet
ter and obligations less exacting in the country
than in the city. Nothing is responsible for
such state of affairs than the publicity COM
mttees the town boomers and the real estate sharks
and while the law has not made such statutory crime
nevertheless it is moracrime and the sins of the
fathers will be visited the chidred unto the
third and fourth generation Great cities spring
is either virgin forest an unbroken prairie
Organized labor has showed up wages and organ
ganized trusts have showed up prices of living
cessities and the labor and money trusts grow fat
at the expense of the great mass of people, who
have focked to the cities account of fictitious
values in real estate and high salaried wage
earners, which will not exceed one in one hund-

the town lots the whole country would soon show
hundred per cent. greater prosperity.
For Negros to advocate the publishing of daily
paper to compete with the daily papers published
all the country at present, is SO silly that it
is ridiculous Black folk in the United States do
the same things as the white folk do they
should do so. The black folk, however, though
they have made heavy financial gains do not
troll sufficient industrial and commercial enterprises
to fill either the the advertising columns
of daily paper and if they it would be
trying to build up a black of people in
white of peoples country which is utteraly
impossible. The the theory of doing anything or
conducting any kind of business purely for black
folk is un-Amercan and should not be encourag-
ed AS bitterly opposed to mingng with other
peoples as are the Jews, yet they seldom if
try to run any kind of business for Jews only.
The Japanese in the United States for the most
part print papers in the Japanese language and
in face all foreigners but that is done because those

The Negroi full edged citizen and he interested in
the same kind of litrature as the white man. Let
black men, if they will start daily and weekly
papers the same as white men, but publish them
on the broad principle of American citizenship
If Negro financiers should start a paper or even
a bank in some town city that offered an in
viting field they would, though there would not
bakers dozen Negroes in the town, do just
we'll if there faces white, they certainly
would do a thousand per cent. better than if they
depended on Negroes for there support. All this
