1.-THE tariff and the general system

are made not to realize that they are
paying, are responsible for the lack OF
public interest in the nations income
and for the centering Of that interest
on the nations outgo.
1T is not 4 matter OF wonder that the
people Of each congressional district
are prone to gauge the efficiency of
their representative in congress by the
amount of appropriations he gains for
them rather than by the amount he
saves for the whole body Of the peo-
pie. The all too common notion is
that it is merely Uncle Sans money
that is being spent, not our own
money. But Uncle Sans money is
our money--yours and mine and the
money Of every individual citizen.
ITO my mind, IT is certain that the
income tax law will bring this fact
closer home to the individual and give
him a new and better perspective on
his country's fiscal affairs Before he
asks new and greater appropriations
he will hesitate and count the cost. A
healthier public sentiment about the
uses of public money Is certain to re-

1t is significant that today the rsa,
leaders OF the negro churches ara
seeking to emphasize the fact that re-.
ligion has to deal with the whole lifa
Of the man. His intellectual as we'll
as his emotional. his volitional and hi.
social life are to be related accord.
Ing to the ethical principles Of Jesus
They are still waiting, as we have
often done, for the hand of a skilful
artist who will paint for them In
terms Of their own life the personal
life Of Jesus in such a way that he
will attract their whole being. One
man said, "The great moral needs az
common life have convinced me that
exhortation has done it's work; inter
probation must follow"
The relation Of the church to tho
betterment Of these conditions is q
subject by itself. There is hostility
to most innuences for evil as far a
the leaders are concerned, but when
one studies the ranks Of the church
leaders who are positively in favor Of
better things, he looks in vain for
many of the real professional leaders
and business heads Of the race.
When asked for an explanation, two
widely different answers were given
by trained leaders; perhaps the real
answer lies between. One said that
the professional men and business
men are temperamentally hostile to
the church. They are of no value be-
cause of their too liberal views and
their personal pride. The other said
that these men might now be In tho
ranks of the church If it were not for
the fact that the church leaders want.
ed to decide everything and that these
men had no chance to utilize their
qualities OF Independent and trained
leadership which has secured them
their places in the world.
1t seems self-evident that there is
great place for such men in the church
and that in all probability as the
church opens up larger fields Of op
portunity for social and community
services, these men who have been
especially trained and who have
shown special qualifications In such
leadership, will be the co-workers
with the pastor to make the church IN
ever-increasing force in the commun.

The Negro Fellowship league OF Chi
cago is in its fourth year Of existence.
It offers the only place In the black
belt besides the poolrooms, saloons.
and five-cent theaters for recreation
for whoever wishes to obtain It.
Every day for the last four years until
nine o'clock in the evening the read
ing room has been kept open. The
league not only welcomes all who
come but it goes out and invites
young men and boys who frequent the
street corners and other places.
Not only are books, magazines, and
daily papers free to all who may care
to use them but we have weekly pa.
pers from all over the city and the
United States. We have an average
attendance every day Of Is. To this
reading room are sent the homeless,
unemployed, and the stranger within
our gates; no one is turned away.
Those who have no home and no
money are provided with clean, decent
lodgings. During the last year more
than 100 men and boys have been
given a bed free until they could find
work Those who have no work are
found employment. While they are
waiting for employment they play
checkers or read. Five hundred ne
gro men and women have been fur
nished employment by the Fellowship
Employment bureau since July 1.
Besides all this the reading room is
a refuge for the small negro boy who
would otherwise be waif on the
streets or an inmate of the poolroom
and other questionable surroundings.
