A man who will not pay an honest

shameful sight any way you see him.
This kind of fellow is a nuisance and

unhesitatingly pay any debt that is
honest and will be glad of the chance.
But the other kind will lie, and lie ana
lie until they worry your patience, and
then yous are ready to give them ;he
debt so as to stop them from lying and
also saving you from making a daily
visit to them trying to collect, as your
time is worth money and while you
are running them down, you could
be doing something else, for there is
nothing in them but hot air"

speak, are so,ealled big" men, shin

could pick it from their pockets.
Remember that it is always best to
come across in due tire, some day
you may want another favor from
your creditor and there you will be
with your little brown mitts" stuck
out, but nothing doing because you
failed to come across in due season
And wouldn't you feel ashamed? or
course you would!
Some of us, it just seems, have
distasteful feeling toward debt, and
it is nothing Strange to see us walk
out pf ha fn
man we owe at. the same time we
might not owe him but nickel" We
will walk in the opposite direction
and so far around that we will lose
possibly hundred nickels just on
account of one-the one we owe the
other, fellow.
Now, stop this unmanly way and be
men and if you can't then get into the

There is no reason whatever that

costing them from 81 to S4 just as

We will say to this lying class,
please get out of the habit if possible,
for there is nothing in it only you are

In a recent editorial urging compul-
sorry education the Dallas News says:
As to whites alone, the census bu-
reau's collection shows that in 1900
there were 146, ,4S7 illiterates in Texas
above the age mentioned and that in
1910 there were 157 1856, so that in
ten years there was an actual in
crease of nearly 1000 in the number
OF white illiterates. The percentage
OF them, however, decreased, owing to
the rapid increase of the states white
population, the percentage having
been S.5 in 1900 and 6.7 in 1910. But
among the Negroes illiteracy de-
creased both actually and proportion
ately, for in 1900 there were 167,618
illiterates, a percentage of 1872 with
respect to the population. while in
1910 there were only 12461S. a per-
centage of 24.6. In ten years the
whites reduced the percentage of il
literacy by about 2 per cent, whereas
during the same time the Negroes re-
duced the percentage of ilfiteracy
among them by more than IA per cent.
In another double decade, at this rate,
there would be less illiteracy, actual
ly and proportionately. among tine Ne
groes than among the whites.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-06-29

The st. Louis Central Afro-Ameri-
can indorses the position of the Kan
sas City Journal that negro church
conferences are wise when they keep
religion and politics separate and re-
fuse to indorse this or that party aid
this and that candidate for office. This
is the sane view of the question, act
ing on the reverse of which has in
the past done SO much damage to the
good name of our churches. A preach
er should be partisan of course, but
he should keep his politics out of the
pulpit, except as censor of bad prac-
tees of all sorts in the administra-
ton of the government. John the Bap-
tist denounced moral corruption in
Herod's court and family and was be-
headed, and Jesus Christ denounced
corruption in the priesthood and was
crucified, but the abuses they de
nounced have in the progress of 1912
years become impossible in Gentle

any more than person can serve two

the maker of it. We either serve that

Talking about the race question.
which we have always with us, wise
friend recently said to us: "The ne
gro should stand upon his own feet.
He should make his own business in
terests, where he is the master. and
thus be able to avoid or properly re-
sent the insults and rebuffs he so often
meets with in white business places,
in many of which he is tolerated. curt
ly, as patron, but not wanted as an
individual This is a mighty safe plat
form to stand upon and to work upon.
AS q matter of fact, our remarkable
business development in the southern
and southwestern states has. been due
largely to the attitude of white bust
ness interests that tolerated us as a
patron but despised us, and take no
pains to hide it. as an individual. A
creature who would not resent that
sort of attitude would be less than a
person.

upon his own feet as man, in all of
the relations of life, or give of his life
