WISE SPENDING.

| Are you wise spender? Wise
spending is regarded as highly i'm.
portant preliminary to thrift by the
U. s. Treasury. AS part of it's cam.
paign for promoting popular savings
through Thrift and War Savings
Stamps during 1919, it has issued
through it's Savings Division the fol-
lowing definition Of wise spending.
which merits the thoughtful attention
OF every family and every individual
who would get ahead in life:
Wise spending implies the balanc.
ing of all needs and of all means of
meeting these needs and, after bal
ancing needs against means, spending
in such way as to meet the most
urgent needs, even if lesser ones have
to be left unsatisfied; in essence it
means sort of budget-making. When
family, city or state makes a budget.
what it does essentially is to take a
comprehensive view of both needs and
income. It is important that not all
the income be spent on the first needs
that may occur lest other more urgent
needs appear and no funds be left to
meet them; that is, thought must be
taken so that available income can be
applied intelligently and wisely to
cover most important needs and to
satisfy them somewhat in proportion
to their relative importance.
Perhaps the most important and
dihcult problem in connection with
wise spending (or saving) is to real
ize the relative importance of future
as compared with present needs. The
temptation of all of US is to satisfy
present needs at the neglect of future
needs. 1t is very foolish to neglect
the urgent necessities of today for the
petty wants of the morrow, but few
need very much persuasion to induce
them to take care of the present.
Where most Of us are foolish or un-
wise is in satisfying petty wants of
the present rather than saving in or
der that urgent needs of the future
can be met

pant of the Jim Crow" coaches dur
ing times of peace.
The pity of the whole despicable
business is that our country is not
great enough to live up to it's own
constitution, not noble enough to fol-
low the precepts of it's own Christian
1ty! It basely bows to the caprice
OF prejudice and condemns it's own
citizens to scorn, contempt and humili-
alton. The burden of this petty pass
port problem need not be placed on
the shoulders Of France, for that glor-
lous country has ever been great
enough to honor and protect it's citi-
zens, regardless of race, regardless
of color. The tint of the skin, the
curl Of the hair, has never been the
badge of humiliation in La Belle,
France; and so in her time of need,
gloriously did her sable sons rally to
her support. The day will come when
America on Bonded knee will cry for
help. Will there still remain forgiy-s
ing black sons to come to her aid,
or will they all have been brutally
done to death by the mob, the tree,
the torch?

MINISTER MILITANT.

II don't propose to have it (the
league of nations) crammed down my
throat until know what it is, what
it looks like, tastes like and what it
is to cost this country" This is the
way one minister expresses his views
concerning the league. He is the Rev.
Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Madi-
son Avenue Baptist Church, of New
York, and head of the National Service
Section of the U. S. Shipping Board.
He expressed his views while speak
ing at Wilmington, DEL, and praised
the critics of the league plan, even
though he is for a league of nations,
by saying: God bless the thirty
seven Senators who criticized the
league of nations plan. Americans
have to make the greatest decision
since the signing of the declaration of
independence"

JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED
NATION.

Short-sighted colored men who are
talking about a negro republic" in
Africa, and forgetting to agitate for
reform in the treatment of 100000
colored citizens of the United States,
ought to know that prominent non.
Zionist Jews from all parts of the
United States have sent with Presi-
dent Wilson to the peace conference
their objections to the Zionist demand
for Jewish state in Palestine.
The petition was handed to the
President by Congressman Kahn on
February 5. There were 9SS names
on the petition representing the rich.
est and most prominent Hebrews in
the country.
The objections to the establishment
of Jewish Homeland in PALESTINE
are set forth under four specific head
ings, the chief one of which is that
'the Jews are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions"
"All Jews" the petition states, IRE
pudiate every suspicion of a double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab
lishment of sovereign state for the
Jews"
The petition also states that "by the
large part taken by them in the great
war, the Jews have once and for al
shattered the base aspersions of thu
| anti-Semites, who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
of true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-seeking motives
It says that those who would seel

| eign state and yet insist on thei1
| patriotic attachment to the countries
OF which they are citizens, are self
| deceived in their professions of Zion
ism, and under a spell of emotiona

If the Jews representing to a gfea
extent the leadership in commerce

the World are opposed to "jimcrow'
state, why should not colored men pro

form?

DIFFERENTIATION"

Since the war there has been a lot
of talk in the papers about "Ameri
canization" and it is important that
every person in the United States
should be taught the essentials of
good citizenship.
This does not apply solely to for
eigners but to many of American
birth. For instance, in the southern
tier of states, large numbers of peo-
pie have no conception of American
citizenship. Many of the leading citi-
Zens> are so busy with lynching and
other deviltry that they lose sight OF
the essentials of American citizen.

the money to the missionary fund of
$120,000,000 which it is planned to
raise.
THE APPEAL does not believe that
the colored people should give one
penny to aid the Methodist Episcopal
Church until it reverses it's present
jimcrow policy.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
split into two branches over the ques.
ton Of slavery, but now the Northern
and Southern branches are to come
together again at the centenary. The
weakened Northern men have given
in to the aggressive Southerners and
have agreed to sacrifice their colored
members who have been asked to
form a Jim crow church. So far the
colored members have refused to get
out, but they may perhaps be kicked
out.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
given up all ideas of the Brotherhood
OF God and the Brotherhood of Man."
and at the centenary it is very likely
that the brethren will recount the
wonderful thing the church has done
for 1.-The negro" and all will join in
singing Onward, Christian Soldier"
