When you get a raise, who is
the first man to extend the
right hand of fellowship? The
cashier. When you get a new
job, who hands ybu the first
concrete evidence of it? The
cashier. Mr.. Smith wants ad-
vice on piece of property he's
about to buy. Who does he come
to for it? The cahsier. Mrs.
Blueblood is about to invest in
certain tocks an bandsfihdd
certain stocks and bonds. Who
does she consult for she needed
selections? The cashier. An est
ate is about to be settled; min
ors are involved. Who shall act
as guardian or trustee? The
asher. When Mr.. Dun, Mr..
Bradstreet and the other big
mercantile agencies fail utterly
to give the needed credit in
formation, to whom do you turn
for absolute data? To the cash
ier.
In ninety and nine other, diff
ferent ways the cashier is the
diagnostician, the balance

ritual adviser and general help
~ of the business community:
Here's to the cashier, the man
who knows,
Your ms and outs, your lows
and woes;
May he continue with us, and
never grow old,
"To hand out our share of
greenbacks and gold"
The poem is not ours, it sug-
rested the lead, for in spite of
all the things the cashier has
done to us, and for us, we have
for him only the kindliest feel

Nect. We know what he is up
against every day and the most
surprising part of the thing is
that he will smile right through

The Cashier.

The bank cashier is always
the man who knows the inner
most secrets of ones soul. A
man will go and tell his cashier
things that he wouldn't dare tell
his wife, his mother-in-law or

always on the know. He knows
when you are flush and he knows
when you are broke. He is a
partner in your Joys and a Jobs

HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT
WORK.

The report that negroes in
Virginia were organizing them
selves into societies. which re-
quircd "an oath to do no more
work of any kind for white
folks" has tempted a New York
editor to remark: CAS- this
amounts almost if not quite to
q determination not to work for
anybody, it is no wonder that
the new societies are attracting
great numbers of the colored
brothers and colored sisters, for
of course they all make the low
Gus assumption that life will
somehow go on with work elm
mated"
This EDITORS own assumption
is hasty. 1t does not seem likely
that even among the most shift
ess class of blacks in the south
any very large number of col
ored sisters" would join anti
working societies or take an ac-
tive part in a strike of this sort.
They might be so inclined but
they would encounter opposition
from their husbands or STEADY
company" among the anti-work-
ing "colored brothers.. The lat
have no desire to rely al
together on thieving, which is
an uncertain dependence and,
moreover, is unsafe. There is a
more prudent and easier way.
No doubt in all the southern
states shiftless blacks employ
the methods reported from Miss
issippi, where, according to an
amusing writer of that state
loafiing negroes cheerfully sing
"My gal lives in de white folks
yard,
She brings me bacon and she
brings me lard;
When dey has turkey / gifts de
stuffin'.
Niggers think I'm workin', but
| amt doin' muffin"
/ The story of the shiftless
black mans joy and the plunder-
ed white mans dole is most
felicitously recounted in these
lines. Manifestly no "colored
sister" who nightly carries a
heavy basket out of "de white
folks yard" for the delectation
of a masculine dependent can
afford to be numbered among the
members of an anti-working So
ciety or Join in a strike of any
sort. All accounts agree that
neither the basket carrier nor
the basket receiver is in the
least disturbed by conscientious
scuples. When reproached for
such unlawful transportation of
food supplies, they have been
known TO state in effect that low
wages require such pickings. and
that in any case the pickings
represent but a small "intruss"
on the unpaid labor of slave an
cestors. Southern housewives
are well ACQUAINTED with the
servant problem that is known
in all sections, but at least the
