THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. 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 a 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 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 the 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 a match into a magazine of
powder. Il
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 a 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-
tivered.

A RACE PRIDE BRA1NSToRM

The meeting to assist the Negro
girl, jamie Freeman, on Sunday night
was, as usual, in keeping with Negro
indignation meetings. An appeal was
made for funds, after the story of her
Imprisonment, aroused the passions
and prejudices of many present, and
the gates of Saltwater prison were to
be opened for her immediate and joy
Gus departure-if their money could
do it. Without thought of legal
procedure, without question of her
guilt or innocence, whether demand
for justice or a plea for mercy; they
simply had race-pride brainstorm,
and rallied financially to aid "a worthy
cause" Let us hope so. Time will
tell. ..a.
The Case of jamie Freeman.
As the story goes "Janie Freeman
lived near Oklahoma City and came
north with Southern white man to
work as maid at his summer home
near Alexandria, MINI. She became
homesick and forged check for $17
and paid her fare home. She was
returned to this state and under a
plea of guilty was sentenced to Still
water prison. The court had no
alternative as the statutes provide no
reformatory sentence. She had been
a student at Tuskegee, and left with
out completing her course. Little is
known as to Ter history, and these
facts were learned by Atty. Hilyer,
the Secy. of the National Society for
the Advancement Of Colored Peeole,
who interviewed the girl at Stillwa-
ter. Efforts will be made to secure
a pardon for her at the October meet
ing of the Pardon Board.

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 a referendum submitted to
the people, as the law provides. As
it 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
for the employment of the men of
this city, regardless of color or ma
tionality, which would not permit the
employment of intra-state labor to
the extent it does today.
1t is not, at present, question with
the Negro, whether there is a re-
newai of present franchise, or a 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
have led them astray by futile pro-
tests; after such legislation had been
enacted depriving them of their
rights.
1t appears that outside of the few
speech-making civil rights protests,
and Investigations of discrimination,
there has not been any attempt to
cooperate with other races or unite
among themselves, to secure the
thing most needed now, i. e. The
recognition and employment of the
Negro laborer. Not a Negro other
than the writer has been present at
the many franchise hearings. Yet
there is always loud protest in diff
ferent ways and much advice given
by figureheads, when it is too late.
Where are our great advocates of
Negro advancement? You may find
them around the Probate Court, rob-
hing somebody out of their inner
itance, or selling out the rights of
their clients without their knowl-
edge) to the highest bidder-and
lending them in return, free advice
and moral support" (?) You may
find another bunch begging for a
church, or a home or in some way
panhandling through the business and
districts begging "the
white folks" for financial help. They
are not in a position to help to bring
about better order of things.
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 cleo
ton. He has but to use his vote
intelligently, and when it is found
that he must be reckoned with, he
will be benefited, because of having
one power only-the power of the bal
lot.

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

,vancement of Colored People has
.been organized in this city about two
wears. and it is about time that 1t
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
.Ianie Freeman" meeting would be
held under the auspices of this Assn.
Il was called by a joint committee
representing The Sunday Forum, The
w. C. T. U. and the National Assn:
for the Advancement OF Coiored
People, and it appears that every
member of this committee is (sup-
oosed to be) member of the N. A..
A. C. P. Atty. Hilyer is the Secre-
tarv of the Association and he reports
"No funds in the treasury - and
therefore these other organizations
must be interested to secure the "necs-
sary expenses" Mr.. Hilyer mas
worked hard to keep the Assn. be-
fore the people, but he has had little
.ss;s+ance. Several meetings have
been held and few membership dues
Maid. Hon. w. R. Morris is the head
of the Negro element OF this organi-
ration. Secy. Hilyer says, there is
much work for the Assn, to do. IL
takes some money to maintain any
organization, but this outfit under
present conditions will not amount to
snvtbing, because some of the leaders
are the big Negroes (?) who give
onlv their legal and moral sup
mort (7) and use the Association as
a means of personal contact with
some leading white people to gain
local prominence. 1t is nice to read :,
about what is done in The crisis
INV the Minneapolis branch, but after
, oroper investigation it can be said
that the local Association is stumb-
ling block in the way of race ad-
vancement. Some of its officers nave
assumed 10 IcpiCSSht
corning the Negro-nothing can DC
done without their consent-they are
the guardians of the civil rights and
social privileges of every Negro
they are cit" and must be CONSUMED
first and others must follow their
directions-they lend their moral ana
legal support and the members must
rive their money, to do-nothing-
thew attempt to arouse the public by
their personal efforts, and hnaiiy
succeed by getting free space in Inc
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
4bis do-nothings" and nothing VIII DC
done unless he gets out and interests
the public in the Association and col
iects the money for membership. we
should have a N. A. A. c. P. but we
have none.

THE PEOPLE AND PUBLICITY

The chief argument against the pub licity bill, adopted by the people of the state a few months ago, was and is the cost. The campaign which pre- ceded the favorable vote on the bill was one of widest publicity in which the matter of cost was frankly taken up In the attacks on the publicity bill made in the Senate some of the statements of senators who oppose the bill were outrageously incorrect and might have been avoided if the sena- tors had consulted practical printers as to cost of printing. Yesterday morning the Gazette published the quarterly report of the county clerk of Pulaski county This is believed to be one of the most voluminous county reports that will be published under Act. No. 3 and as the rate for such publications is higher in Pulaski than Tn any but three or four other counties in the state, it is one of the most costly county publications. It costs the taxpayers SIP.
 It has been stated by opponents of the publicly bill that figures can tell no story to the taxpayers. This is not true. The figures in the report pub hshed in yestrday mornings Gazette give a splendid idea of the cost of operating the county government and the manner in which the money is ex- pended. Other publications under Act No' will complete the record and if the taxpayer, with the aid of these publications, does not understand where the money he pays as taxes goeS' It Is the taxpayers fault.
 The publication as first presented by 'ne county clerk would have cost very much more than it did cost as publish
