ECONOMIC

/ Our wages amount to 100000.
900 per year. Out of this billion
dollars we should save at least
ten per cent, that is, one hundred
million dollars; but we do not
save one per cent. Out of a bill
ion dollars made by poor Jews.
we presume over three hundred
million dollars are saved, and the
Jews live longer than the Ne
groes and prosper more; but save
more. Why? Because a Jew
lives according to his JUDO
MENT, and Negro according
to his feeling. \ Jew eats what
is best for him. to keep him in
condition to do his work well a
Negro eats to feel good, to tickle
his palate. a Jew BUYS a suit of
clothes for the wear it will give
"A Negro buys for its looks. A
jew, if he lies about the cost Of
his suit. tells YOU it cos 1910 when
it really cost $15, for he does not
want to appear eXtravagant. But
if Negro falsifcs about the
price he does so upward; he says
the suit cost $50 when it really
cost Sl5. for the Negro wants to
appear richer than he is.
The Negro rarely ever gets his
moneys worth. If he buys "A
house he pays more than IA white
man; if he builds IA church he
pays more than II white man. The
- 100000 worth of church
property we have is not worth
as real estate half that amount.
OF course the Negro learned
his extravaganza from the South
crn whites for whom he worked.
1t was often said that the French
nation could live from the gar
bagc pail of the Southern whites.
and then live better than the
Southerners live. 1t is IA South
ern custom to leave something
on the plate for manners" the
biggest piece of eXtravaTance in
the world. 1t is Southern Gus
tom to have great deal of land
around the house that makes
nothing And the Negro has
learned his extravaganza from
the white man But that is no
excuse. We should learn to econ
omize; to put our extra money in
the things that will help us-in
schools, in churches. in books. in
organizations for upIift in homes,
in business. in farms. etc.-Chris-

1t is harder to spend money
than to make it, Most people do
not believe it, and there is the
trouble. If they only realized it,
they would be better off !; but they
do not know it.
The mayor of Hugo, Oklaho-
ma, said to the conference. The
colored people are one of the
finest set Of people in this coun-
try. No people are more loyal to
America than you arc-you are
real Americans. upon whom this
country can depend in every
emergency. But. he added,
may tell YOU Of your one beset-
ting sin? You are the most cX-
travagant people in the world.
You do not know how to save
money. You do not know how
to economic. You throw away
money on pop and other things
that YOU do not need, and that
do you more harm than good. If
you would give to education the
price of one soda pop day, in
one year just the people in this
house would pay the whole debt
on your university
The mayor told the truth Our
people throw away millions of
dollars a year on things they do
not need. 1t is largely because
the chief appeal to us is EMO
TIONAL We do not train the
JUDGMENT rs much as we
should. People who are LED By
THEIR FEELINGS cannot but
be cxtravagant. When they see
red candy, they can't resist it.
When they smell whiskcy they
just must have it. If some one
speaks feclinglv to them and
arouscs their feelings, they will
spend their money, whether they
need it or not.
