Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1918-06-08

HunDef OF mlScneVlOlS boys, Il thank
you. Lord, it's good. if the devil did bring
it,
At the First A. NJ. f. church next Sun.
day evening the Negro Business Mems
League Of Seattle will render more or
less interesting program. The object of the
League is to stimulate colored citizens into
not only going into business, but to pat
ronize those who do go into business The
general public is invited to attend next
Sunday evening and listen to those selected
by the League to eXpound it's doctrines.
The League has been organized for more
than Il year and if it has done no good it
most assuredly has done no harm. 1t can
do good and great good, if it's teachings and
doctrines are lived up to by those whose
interest it was organized to subserve. Or
ganization is the first law of heaven and
there can be no success on land or sea in
heaven or in hell without organization be-
ing it's chief corner stone. The program
will begin at oclock, thus supplementing
the regular Sunday evening preaching.
One of the members of the League who
will address the meeting next Sunday even
ing is b. F.. Tut, one of the very few sue
cessful business men of color in Seattle. He
is the father Of the Negro Business Mems
League in Seattle and he has worked in and
out of season for it's success. Mr.. Tut is
a thoroughly practical man, which he APP
plies to his business, which accounts for it's
success. He makes no pretense of being an
orator, but you may expect practical talk
on the aims and object Of tn eLeague and
if hundred men do not come forward and
associate themselves with the League it will
be no fault of his. Here is another in
stance where '''Tutt wants to see you
This glad hand stunt that politicians so
frequently give to the voting public when
they are seeking office, which is followed
by the marble heart and the icy stare, when
they have been defeated or have gotten
all they want, used to be the caper but it
don't go now. Two years ago certain
fellow was seeking an office in King
county and he subscribed for Cayton's
Weekly and another paper operated by Il
colored man. Without pay or the promise
of future reward, Caytons Weekly gave
him a warm support and his candidacy
seemed to have been favored by great
many Of the coored citizens. He, however,
was defeated, but here comes the niggardly
part of the man. He was called upon to
pay his So subscription. 81 do not get
your paper,' he promptly replied and re-
fused to pay at that time, but did 90 so
later on but held to it that the paper did
not come The postal authorities were
asked to explain and the carrier reported
as follows: 'EMr. Cheap Skate told me to
destroy the paper as he did not want it and
yet did not want to hurt the feelings of the
editor by refusing it," If the poor simp
had have soaked his head in soap goard
it might have dawned upon him that he
was as BIG a fool as was THOMPSON colt
that swan the river to get drink
Persons who get Cayton's Weekly are ex-
pected to pay for it, but the collector does
not expect to whip it out of the hide of
anyone who refuses to pay, nor is it neces.
sary for any one to make damphool of
himself in making an excuse for not paying
when called upon. When Jack Thatcher
was candidate for county assessor he sub
scribed for Cayton's Weekly and like every
body else, paid for it in advance, however,
