"Hick, isn't he, Billy? zap, guess!
Also a pin-head and a few other
things; but just the same, he came
here to spend three hundred dollars,
and he's been here over a week, and
he's got about six hundred of 1t left.

growled Billy.

he did to Miss Williams. He had
constituted her his confldante from
the beginning, and seemed to feel 1t
a solemn duty, as well as a joy, to
come in and let her know his prog.
ress. 1t was strange, too, to see his
transition from country boy to an
all-rounder. His clothing now was
up to the minute, his talk up to the
second, and everything about him
was right on the DOT; but in place
of the rugged pink and brown of his
cheeks he now had a massaged COM
plexion, and there were pouches under
his eyes.
The Manicure Girl came in one day
laughing and still half vexed.

Gee" I said. Has he got so far

Sure, said Frank. He's the hot

just Jimmy, along the line. All the

lies and Fluffies know him. How's
that for pace?"

Mr.. Carroll came in the next day

mortgage on the premises, but that
hate to see you taking all that spite
out on the poor Dagoes, Considering
the couple of hundred dollars my pet
Hick has left, he's not likely to be in
any more"
She was mistaken. In a week he
was in again, more aggressive even
than he had been the first time. Some
way there was change in him. The
noisy tie was gone, he had a new
hat, and he carried himself shade
"scrappy," as she expressed 1t.
"Hello!" she hailed him. 81

how to take its wealth away from It,"

Regular clown" he grinned.
Gust for that I'll make you listen to

From his pocket he drew a stamped

ness concern of the country. If the
race should marshall all of its forces
together, and by entirely co-operat-
ing from town to town through out
the country that for three years we
would not purchase a single hat or
ladies coat. Banks would close, fac
tories would shut down that won't
employ US, there would be panics,
and people would go hungry for lack
of work.
This is not in any manner over
drawn. We must not let ur rating as
consumers forever remain the sole
concern of white merchants, and
white commercial stock jobbers. Some
day, / hope not far distant, we will
learn to operate the power which
money predicates and by sober seri-
Gus consideration of the business idea
build for ourselves such corpora
tons that we may need to bid for
patronage, closely and keenly COM
peting with those who scrupulously
study the fiuxuating market.
At this age of our freedom there
isn't any excuse to be made. Educa-
ton is quite general among US. Ex-
perience is not altogether a stranger.
We have made progress along humble
lines, but we have not demonstrated
our ability to handle large business
in any measure on the cooperation
plan.
We make our own handicaps in the
struggle for existence, and become a
monopoly for certain kinds of trade
and occupations purely on the
grounds that no other people want
to do.
This is our bonanza. Performing
all of that which is most laborious,
less inviting, and certainly the most,
arduous. Clad indeed, are we to get
the labor crust of mankind, when all
other races are restoring to every
manner and form of device to facili-
tate the easy methods, regulating
their operations to correllate with the
value of time, while our diligent
hands must handle the grosser ele-
ments of human produce rated for
strength of muscle, needless that it
takes intellectual operations of the
minds to move a world.
The broad ax., 1918-12-21

our money and stop those fellows
from pointing their fingers of disgust
1t US.
We are continually insulting one
or more of them who mistake US for
one of you.
We could have Negro millionaires
just like the Chinese and the Japan
csc, but we won't even do a little
business on a small scale.
/ am firmly convinced that we
should have an organization of In
dustry and Commerce having at its
head an Executive Committee of live
intelligent men, capable of inter
preting our entire social and econ
omical system, and wide awake to
the things that promote our every
race interest. / believe this Commit
tee should ask for the entire race
and should receive a salary, so that
it could devote its time to things
essential to our progress and deve-
lopment.
This, believe would be the neu-
cleus or beginning of a stalwart
movement of our people toward our
physical well being. Industrially and
commercially we are adding to the
wealth of all other people, but our
own. This is the very bed rock prin-
ciple that engages The Board of
Trade, The Assn of Liberal Arts
and Trades, and numerous other or
CARNATIONS among white people in
Chicago which are their determining
factors of their racial thrift and the
representation of their counting
houses, banks, factories, etc.
/ am sure / say this without pre-
JUDGE, and in all sober sincerity.
There is to little thinking and doing
among US that will give US perma-
nent hold on the serious life of our
people. We must no longer remain
ignorant and uniformed on the basic
elemtns of commercial life. There is
too much profession and pretense of
satisfactory conditions among US as
a people and too little effort being
be made to operate along economical
and commercial lines.
We are leaving to other races the
reaping and developing of large fac
tories which lie within our grasp,
and which continue to be within
easy reach of US as a people.
John Temple Graves spake truly
when he said, "Much cannot be ex-
pected of that people, whose an
cestors for centuries bruised their
feet walking over diamond beds.
We have to take note of values.
The value of time may not be rated
in, Bradstreet, but the commodity
which required time to operate in
its making is a positive value. So
that value attaches to every apper-
tainanee to life itself.
Our purchasing value as a race
is regarded seriously by every bust
