THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
I Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their "gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw match into magazine of
powder. s- ..
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
- What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered. ~.

SIX REASONS WHY I SHOULD
JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSO-
CITATION FOR THE ADJ
VANCEMENT OF COL
ORED PEOPLE.

1t teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of it are unchristian and cruel eff
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
1t combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Co1ored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations OF
life.
It believes in and teaches the doc
trine of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
It aims to uphold the honor Of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws. N
1t is composed of members of bott
races and sexes on terms of com
plete equality and as brothers ant
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.

statement to set forth all the reasons
/ can think of to justify the existence
Of this Association in this City but /
will tell briefly what the Association
is doing and leave the verdict as to
whether its existence is justified to a
fair public judgment.
Here are few of the things ac-
complished by the branch: 1t caused:
The stopping of discrimination in
the gymnasium at the Central High
School.
The stopping of discrimination at
the Unique Theatre.
The barring of the photo-play,

The stopping of the play THE
NIGER" at the Shubert Theatre.
The stopping of the photo-play
THE NIGER" at the Regent The
atre.
1t has protested to the various
newspapers of the city against the
policy of magnifying Negro crime on
the front page and in glaring head
lines. 1t is working on several plans
for the industrial uplift of the colored
people and proposes to cooperate
with the Dunwoody Institute with re-
gard to the. opening of new fields of
employment for colored boys and
girls. This work takes time, it takes
money, it takes hard work and needs
the assistance of everybody. No
body or organization is free from
criticism but the kind of criticism we
need is of the constructive kind that
seeks not to tear down but to reju-
vinate. The Association needs mon
ey and new members. 1t costs just
one dollar to join. If you believe in
fair play, in fighting for your rights,
if you believe in organization and CO.
operation, join this Association and
do your bit toward advancing the race
and therby helping to make human
brotherhood a reality and not a
fiction n.I

THE STREET RAILWAY FRAN.
CHISE.
Negroes, as Other Citizens, Should
be given Employment. Their
Vote a Factor.

There was public meeting of the
Council Committee Wednesday after
noon in the Council Chamber to hear
the expressions from citizens on the
question of the Street Railway Fran
chise-which is now a matter of vital
Importance to Negro voters. The
Editor of the Twin City Star has
given this matter serious study and
took this occasion to call the atten-
ton to the fact that the Negro vote
IS factor to be considered, should
there be referendum submitted to
the people, as the law provides. As
1t stands today there are few, if any.
Negroes employed by the Street Rail
way Co., either in its construction or
operation. AS class of laborers and
taxpayers, they should be EMPLOYED
by every public service corporation
which derives its right from the
municipality to which they belong,
and should there be franchise grant
ed, some provisions should be made
tor the employment of the men of
this city, regardless of color or ma
tionality, which would not permit the
employment of interstate labor to
the extent it does today.
1t is not, at present, a question with
the Negro, whether there is re-
newal OF present franchise, or grant
OF another franchise to an individual
or corporation, neither is he interest,"
ed in municipal ownership of public
service corporations. The plain truth
Is, that they are not interested in any
OF the proposed legislation, that would
grant them chance to earn their
bread as American citizens. They
have not given due thought to their
power as voters, and their leaders
nave led them astray by futile pro-
tests; after such legislation had been
enacted depriving them of their
rights. m
The Negro voter is in position to
make demand now for employment
and to protect it with his ballot. He
is the balance Of power at every elec.
ton. He has but to use his vote
intelligently and when it is found

HAVE WE A N. A. A. c. Pr

The local Association lot the hu-
of Colored People has
been organized in this city about two
years, and it is about time that it
should present to the people some
creditable report of their work. We
were in error last week, when it was
stated in these columns that the
"Janie Freeman" meeting would be
held under the auspices of this Assn.
1t was called by joint committee
representing The Sunday Forum, The
w. c. T. u. and the National Assn.
for the Advancement of Colored
People, and it appears that every
member of this committee is (sup-
posed to beg member of the N. A.
A. c. P. Atty. Hilyer is the Secre-
tary of the Association and he reports
mo funds in the treasury" - and
therefore these other organizations
must be interested to secure the "necs-
sary expenses" Mr.. Hilyer has
worked hard to keep the Assn. be-
fore the people, but he has had little
assistance. Several meetings have
been held and few membership dues
paid. Hon. w. R. Morris is the head
of the Negro element of this organi-
cation. Secy. Hilyer says, there is
much work for the Assn, to do" 1t
takes some money to maintain any
organization, but this outfit under
present conditions will not amount to
anything, because some of the leaders
are the big Negroes (7) who give
only their legal and moral sup
port (7) and use the Association rs
a means of personal contact with
some leading white people to gain
local prominence. It is nice to read
about what is done in "The Crisis"
by the Minneapolis branch, but after
a proper investigation 1t can be said
that the local Association is stumb-
ling block in the way of race ad-
vancement. Some of it's officers have
assumed to represent everything con-
corning the Negro-nothing can be
done without their consent-they are
the guardians of the civil rights and
social privileges of every Negro
they are cit" and must be consulted
first, and others must follow their
directions--they lend their moral and
legal support and the members must
give their money, to do--nothing-
they attempt to arouse the public by
their personal efforts, and finally
succeed by getting free space in The
Twin City Star--which is not even
appreciated by them. We sympathize
with Sec'y Hilyer. He is trying to
do something for his race, but as we
have said, he is associated with the
"big do-nothings" and nothing will be
done unless he gets out and interest:
the public in the Association and col.
.lects the money for membership. We
should have a N. A. A. c. P. but we
have none.
