Schwab's Views on Thrift

E. w Straus in The Thrift Magazine.
 II 1t is true that thriftless ways are nara to give up, it also is true that hapits once acquired never forsake one.

 My man. you must never talk that way, said the shipbuilder Always LOOK out for the pennies and the dol- lars Will come to you.-
 Thriftlessness does not consist alto gether in waste on a large scale Thrift consists mainly in looking after the little leaks. Schwab began life at a ridiculously small salary It was not through saving and economy that he has been able to amass his millions But It was because he was thrifty-because he understood the value of making fhe little things count-of stopping up inc little wastes-that he placed himself fin a position to earn the largest salary every paid any man in the world. and later to undertake one of the greatest tasks ever placed on the shoulders of one human being.

 Trial Shortly

New York, September 21.-Prepara- tion of important prosecutions grow ing out of violations of war time sta- tutes is nearing completion. according to federal attorneys. who announced here today that Jeremiah A. o'Leary and other alleged obstructors of the nations military progress will be placed on trial this month and next
 The case against OLeary and six as sociates indicted on charges of con- spiracy to commit treason and espion- age will be onesof the last heard, said officials of the department of justice, because one of the defendants. John T. Ryan a Buffalo, N. Y., lawyer, still is at large.
 Others involved in the case, includ- ing Willard Robinson, Emil Ripper and Albert Paul Bricks. all of New York.

Few of Those Who Went $ North for Big Pay Will
 Remain
DISAPPOINTED IN
 CONDITIONS FOUND
Many Things Have Happened to Con- vince Them That South Is Best
 Place to Remain
By J. r. WELSH

Youngstown, O., September 2t-(SpeciaD The southern negro who migrated north ward during the first flush of wartime prosperity and high wages is ready to return to his cotton fields, there to stand steadfast against the lure of big money and more personal liberties.
 Don't think the negro hasn't made the money and don't think he has been ill., treated in the north. He hasn't been dlscrminated against, but he does find that he fits better in the south and that, after all, the stranger in a strange land'' is not a happy individual
 He is paid high wages for his work and he's not troubled with Jim Crow laws in the restaurants and in street cars, but already not an inconsiderable number have headed southward, and it IS safe bet that the first snowfall of the winter will find the north depopu- lated of most of the negroes who left the proverbially sunny south in 1916 and 1911.
 ALL WORK, LITTLE PLAY
 The truth of the matter is that the southern negro hasn't the pep to fit him for work in the north. Here he is required to work work with capital Wand it goes against the grain. Here he cannot leave his job on Friday after noon and loaf through Saturday and Sunday. probably going back to his job Tuesday morning tired out. but happy. Here his week begins Monday morning and ends Saturday night-and he works.
 True, he is making more money here rf1an he@ever dreamed was possible but rlp b., the south? .,
 The answer is a vociferous ''nop
 We don't have no dances up here" complained lanky boy who claimed to hail from Berlin, near Selma, Ala. i've don't have no watermelon cuttin's-we don't even have no funerals Elf one of the men happens to die they jes name a committee to go to the funeral, and the rest of us niggers keep right on workin
 Now, white folks you all done live in the south and you know nigger-- and you all know that aint no way to treat 'en.
 FEW PERSONAL LIBERTIES
 As to personal liberties
 The Ohio Incorporation, colored citi- zen--bucks no Jim Crow law. They are at liberty to occupy seats in the best theatres and to dine in the best restau- rants.
 But do they take advantage of these privilegesss
 They do not, emphatically not
 The southern negro hasn't vet screw ed his courage up- to the point where he can seat himself beside white man and order eantaloupe; always, too, you'll see him get back as close as possible to the rear end of the street car-and he will pick a seat occupied by one of his color.
 The negro in the north is held to the very letter of the law; he is not look ed upon as the chiYish harmless crea- iure Police records show hundreds of them arrested for offenses that would be passed unnoticed in the south, wan derings from the straight and narrow

RIGORS OF WTNTER


 The winters>of 1916 and 1917 showed the southern negro in the north a few things undreamed of about weather. and not few graves scattered about in northern cemeteries offer proof that men have been lured deathwara by visions of high wares and personal equality-the latter found not at all. Don't get the impression that the ne- gro hasn't made good up here
 He has.
 He has bought his Liberty Bond: he has subscribed to the war chest and the Y, M. c. A. and Red Cross cam paigns
 But the man from the Alabama or Georgia cotton fields realizes that he Is out of place and he's anxious to board the train which will bear him southward-back to the pleasures of the southern watermelon and fried chicken. to the lucious platters of pos sum and 'taters-a dish unheard of here-Aand back to the country where the white folks still reign supreme And the stories they'll tell of the northland
 Oh, boy

EARNING GOOD PAY

In the steel mills there is no discrim- ination and the southern negro who has proved his ability is drawing sal aries never heard of in the south Not a8feW of them are making from SIS to k $40 q week, but the saloon and @speak easy" get big part of it; living expenses are high; there's no chance up here flor a female member of the family to work with a white family and carry home at,night the usual Iit- tile painful of food fro mthe folks from ble; there are no white folks from whom the negro can obtain castoff clothing, worn, but still wearable; there are few restaurants where he can satisfy his penchanI TOT fried cat fish. All in all, life in the north is monotonous grind. with few of the highliehts that make it so livable in the south.
 But the negro will go back to the southern states better, more valuable worker &
 X He will .wend his way southward with the conviction that the cotton fields or the south offer greater ad- van'ases than the steel mills of the #crthi he will realize more sharply that the white man is the negro's hest friend divinely placed to supervise and direct.
