READERS, ARE YOU TIRED OF

TAX LETTERS?-If capital can pro-.
duce nothing then why does labor
need it? With the old hand loom a
man can weave 5; with a new power
loom he can weave 100. What pro-
duces the difference if the loom does
not? Of course, the loom does not
produce alone; neither can the
weaver.
A weaver acquires loom by labor
and produce cloth. If some bad law
diverts his product to non-producer
is not the weaver, as capitalist,
robbed? How can you say that the
capitalist robs the producer of the
product of labor and capital, and say
also that capital is not productive?C.
Capital is a product of labor which
exerts a productive power, that is, it
is form of productive labor; wages
of capital must be right, if wages for
muscular exertion is right No one
needs to borrow capital if it is not
productive; if borrowed it should be
paid for, as agreed. The weaver will
not earn a loom, then lend it gratis.
Rent of land cannot be interest. Land
cost no labor and should be equally
free to all. Capital cost labor and
belongs to the producer.-C. F. Hunt,

bettered, for they are as big and broad
as the race problem itself, and will
stand as a formidable barrier to racial
progress until they are remedied. Out
of the full realization of this fact has
come the National Negro Health
Movement which has set aside a week
to be devoted annually to the better.
ment of health conditions among the
people.
Another reason for lettering the
health and decreasing the death rate
among us is to place the race in a
position to demand lower life insur.
ance rates. 1t is to our credit that
we have seen the value of life insur-
ance in the accumulation of wealth,
and that we pay millions of dollars
annually to this end. The pity is that
we are charged a higher rate than
other people because statistics show
that we have a higher death rate.
The same amount of money, paid to
the insurance companies at a lower
rate, would add millions of dollars to
the total value of policies held by us,
and would make a like addition to the
aggregate wealth of the race.
Let us not forget, also that press
ing social conditions, closing in upon
us from all sides, demand our best
qualities, not only of spirit but of
mind and body as we'll. Graphing,
as we are, in a life and death strug-
gle against discrimination and exclu-
sion from the pursuit of honest toll,
driven from IN occupation to another
by the beast of modern industrialism,
we must have both health and cour-
age to survive.
One of the first principles of hygiene
is cleanliness, not only of ones per.
son but of ones habitation. So it
is altogether fitting and proper that
the first health week should be de-
signated as clean up" week, and that
the people be instructed and urged to
open the doors and windows to let in
the air and sunshine, sweep and clean,
wash and scrub and boil, varnish and
paint and whitewash. Specific instruc.
tons have been issued from ~headquar.

sue of the Sun. There are some who
laugh at the idea, but they are of the
half that knows not how the other
half lives, nor do they appreciate the
crying need of such measures among
the people in general. 1t is, there
fore, to be hoped that this worthy
movement receives the Endorsement
and active support of those per
sons and organizations-the press
churches, schools, lodges, clubs, etc
best in a position to foster it, anC
that the good people everywhere will
sanction it with their hearts and theil
hands.

NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK
March 21.27.

Burton Rogers says: ut is all right
to honor our ancestors and to observe
certain days that are set apart to
commemorate their deeds. But in
these days of concentration of time
and effort, why not let our ancestors
rest in peace and set aside a few days
for the noble purpose of lettering the
conditions in which w live, and those
that will surround our descendants"
Such is the expression of n of the
agitators in a movement for public
health days to be set aside by the
President of the United States, togeth-
er with the governors Of states and
mayors of cities, for the promotion
of hygiene and sanitation and the pre-
vention of disease.
While this movement is still in the
embryo with the dominant race, a
similar movement, among our people,
is now pulling its wings from the CO
coon in the first National Negro
Health Week, which begins March 81,
1915, and which will be observed an
nually hereafter. The credit for this
distinction of priority which we en-
joy is due the united efforts of the
National Medical Associations ma
tional organization of negro physicians
and surgeons-and DR.. Booker 7.
Washington, who has organized the
movement with headquarters at Tus,
kegee.
Society, in all it's phases, is rapidly
and surely coming into a proper esti-
mate of the value Of health. Capt.
talists have realized that looms and
mortgages-all other things being
equal-are safest when made to per
sons in good health. Great corpora
tions have learned that health has q
cash value in business and are eX
pending large sums of money in safe
guarding the health of their employees
not only at work but at home. In
a word, it has been discovered that
health is a prerequisite to efficient
service in any capacity.
If it is a vital necessity to society
in general, it is, then, a vital necessity
in the superlative degree to us. Ra'
cial health statistics point out that al
all seasons of the year too large a per
centage of our wage earners are con
fined to the sick bed, and, consequent
! ly, kept from work. They also show
that too large a percentage of our PEG
pie die annually from tuberculosis
pneumonia and organic diseases O.
the heart and kidneys, and that We
have a higher death rate than tht
other race.
These conditions can and must b.

When God recalls his own?
And bids her leave a world of woe
For an immortal throne.
Her tolls are past, her work is done,
And she is fully blest.
She fought the fight, the victory won
And entered into rest.
