PUT The BRAND ON FAkIRs.

There are several enterprises which
are being pushed by Negroes in Colo
RADIO which have no substAtftial back
ing whatever. They are the fimsiest
OF dreams. The promoters of legitim-
ate enterprises deserve support. Even
when their plans do not turn out as
expected and the ventures are not
financial successes, the promoters are
guilty of no bad Intentions. Thu.
class of enterprises we do not mean.
But the fakirs who travel up and
down the state soliciting money from
citizens in the name OF enterprises
purporting to be for the uplift Of Ne
groes, are a class apart. They prey
upon the kind Feelings which white
people have for US; they impose upon
their generosity; they are accepted
upon their own claims of being
worthy; they are making 1t all the
harder for legitimate Negro charities
to be helped because they will bring
all under suspicion. We suggest that
the ministers of each city take upon
themselves the investigation of pro-
posals which seek money from the
general public, and unhesitatingly de-
nounce all that are not good. There
il no virtue in the dark color Of 9
Negro fakir that makes him any less
a rogue because he Is Negro.

IDEALS OF OUR OWN

Z There is in progress in this city a
doll contest that is more than mere
contest. 1t is an education. The rea-
lson lies in the fact that the doll con-
tested for is a Negro doll, pretty
brown-skinned, crinkly-haired beauty
that is the admiration of all who see
it. Even whites have admired the
perfection of this Negro DOLL the pro-
duct of colored brain and colored
workmen.
It is not our purpose to extoA the
beauty of the doll SO much as to
praise the givers of the contest for
their foresight in devising such
means of educating the community to
our dire need of ideals that are our
own. So long has it been the custom
for the little Negro child to fondle a
blue-eyed, faxen-haired doll, that the
incongruity, the downright tragedy OF
1t, has struck but few.
Since childhood Is the formative
period in which character Is shaped,
no one can estimate the untold harm
that has been done the Negro race
by thus implanting in children's
minds ideals of personal beauty that
they could never obtain. Worst OF
all, the children have showed their
kinship to all humanity by being the
more chagrined because 1t was Inn
possible to be faxen-haireo and blue
eyed. The absurd divisions existing
within the race based upon degrees
of admixture of white blood. have
been fostered by the silly practice Of
thrusting white standards upon Ne
gro children.
Let the Negro race be willing to
stand up and be counted! Let 1t be
willing to be weighed! Merit or de-
merit, vice or virtue. ignorance or
wisdom, be ours what it may, we can
not make progress under false pre-
tense. The Negro doll win teach the
colored child the lesson of self-re-
spect That lesson learned early will
eradicate the silly color factions we
have, will place all workers. our own
and the white, on an equality where
they will be judged by their merit and
not by color. We have too much OF
general denunciation of Diack work
ers by black people for no other rea-
son than that some black worker has
lacked merit. Shame! Shame! upon
a people SO lost to self-respect that 1t
despises its own. God should crush
us, He WILL CRUSH US, unless we
place ideals before US that are good,
that are attainable. and ideals that
we will approach.
