And these are times of problems
Greater than those with which our

a representative republic, and 1t is
through our representatives chosen by
the processes of "pratical politics"
that the way to our future must be
cleared. Whom are we to choose?
And how are We to make sure that
they are worthy of the trust? Every
thing depends upon right answers.
They are political questions, they are
party questions, and only through
party processes can they be answer

No, it is a time for big things,

POLITICS AND PATRIOTISM.

The true principles and the right
practice of American politics were
never better presented than they were
by Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, in
his address to the Republican editors
of Illinois at Springfield, Friday night.
1t was a party address, delivered by
the head of the party organization,
but it was broader and higher than
any party; as broad, in fact, as the
whole sweep of America and as
high as the ideals that have made
America what it is. 1t was a party
address, yet if any Democrat can
read it without. approval of its gen.
eral principles then, we say, there
is something lacking in his American
ism. For Mr.. Hays made very clear,
impressively clear, the fact we so
often forget, that the sole purpose
of party is service, that it is only
means to an end, not an end in
ITSELF, and that unless it justifies
itself by it's conduct and its deeds
it has failed in its mission and is
unworthy of support. We are too
prone to think that the measure of
party success is the election of party
candidates, but that is only the peo-
pies commission. The thing that
counts comes afterward. II say that
successful political party's objec-
tive" said Mr. Hays, lis record of
the faithful discharge of a sacred
contractual obligation to the people.
There is but one kind of successful
politics of faithful, efficient and hon
est administration"
The political party is an instru-
ment. But who makes the instrument
and with what material Is it con-
structed? There is much easy con-
demnation of politicians and of
practical politics" but who is to
blame If these men and these meth
DDS are often not what they should
be? Mr.. Hays told characteristic
story Of Roosevelt, who. when a very
young man, made ready to attend
ward political meeting. Some of
his family objected, telling him he
ought not to mix with the class of
people he would meet there. "They
are the governing Glass; said Roose-
welt, land you are not because they
will and you won" Dishonest poll
ticians and corrupt politics would
not exist if the people did not per-
NIT them to exist 'T plead for a
patriotism in peace as well as in
war;" said Mr.. Hays. Let us have
the patriotism which moves men to
make their country's welfare their
own business and in prosaic times of
peace interest themselves continually
in the practical politics of their COM
munity. Good government is pos
sible in no other way. :" Govern
ment functions through individuals.
These individuals are elected through
the processes Of practical politics, a
sequence which cannot be avoided.
We can have better government only

THE SAVING HABIT.

"One among the most valuable les
sons person can learn at home or
in school is that money is the repre-
sentative of labor, a tangible COM
pensation for efficient service and
not to be had merely for the ask
ing" In those words George w,
Blount, in an article in ''The South
ern Workman" outline the solution
for some of the economic and finan-
cial problems Of the Negro citizens
OF America. "a penny that is earned
by a child is vastly more valuable
to 1t than one obtained by soliciting.
The growing boy or girl cannot pos
sibly be taught better lesson than
to be compelled to render some kind
OF efficient service in return for his
or her spending money. Even though
the service be trivial, such as carry
ing wood, washing dishes. busting or
running errands, the value of the
lesson remains.
After earning money by working
1t becomes necessary that it should
be spent wisely that the greatest men
tai moral and financial benefits may
be derived from 1t. If a child is
merely taught to earn money lust
to spend 1t he is acquiring the habits
OF spendthrift. Every parents owes
duty to the child in training it,
first to earn largely and then spend
wisely. Home training decided
whether or not child is to be thrifty
or spendthrifty; saver or a waster;
soldier in the great army of those
who toll honestly or a Stacker who
exists at the expense of those who
work.
Thrift is just little savedout
OF every pay envelope to help pro-
vide for the 'proverbial rainy day.'
1t is Impossible for us to get upon
our feet until We learn the saving
habit, until we learn to save every
nickle, every dime, every dollar that
we can possibly spare.
THE habit of thrift is steadily in
creasing among Negroes and that
is the thing that really counts. The
records show that they were among
those who purchased literally of
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps To save for one
thing helps a person to acquire the
habit of saving generally and it is
a habit that grows. Saving is like
any other good habit. 1t REQUIRES
constant effort on the part of individ-
uals to acquire, cultivate and main
tain it.
If your besetting sin is American
extravaganza, the surest method of
conquering that bad habit is to sup
plant 1t with good one. ANY me-
thod OF saving is better than none be-
cause the time will surely come when
you will not be able to save.
III you wish to know whether
you are going to succeed in life or
not ask yourself the question: Am
l able to save any part of my earn
ing regularly and work cooperative
ly'? If you cannot do these things
your case is very doubtful. The pos
session OF money by individual or
race means education, independence
In influence and power for the pos
SCISSOR; therefore it behooves the Ne
groes to be thrifty, economical and
save all the money they can regard
less OF the size of their salaries
save anyhow. Negroes are learning
to buy more of what they need and
less of what they think they want"
