Editorial

Some folks have the
impression that a
"Store Policy" is q
vague, indefinite sort
Of a proposition. Some
thing that exists, but
isn't talked over very
frequently.
As a matter Of fact
our Store Policy is one
OF the most discussed
phases Of our business.
For instance, we con-
Stantly impress upon
our people the necessity
Of TRUTH in our adver-
tising and in statements
made over the counter.
Our buyers are told
day BY day that Il is
their DUTY TO secure
the best possible mer.
chGndise that can be
sold at the respective
prices.
We never allow our
people to forget that
when q mistake is made
IL must be righted what
ever the cost may be.
Our Store Policy is
VERY much alive.

been conceived, much less enacted, as
it is absolutely WRONG and caters to
a prejudice as wrong as itself.
Once, some years ago, it will be
remembered, there were several COL
ored members of Congress elected by
the majority vote in thir several dis
tricts, just as the members of the
present Congress were but if those
men were living now, they would not
be allowed to travel in the South
without being Inundated and out
ragged by being forced into Jim crow
cars just, because they had a visible
admixture of African blood in their
composition. The present Congress
had an opportunity to correct this
great wrong but refused to do so, be-
cause the southern members did not
want it. .-
There is majority of members in
the present Congress who are mem
bers of the Republican party, the
party of Lincoln, Sumner, Phillips,
Roosevelt, etc., presumably advocates
of justice to all men, and the most
faithful allies of that party had good
reason to expect, justice at their
hands.
They did not get it and cannot for
get that fact.

Then another meeting was called
and a few venal jimcrow Negroes
were on hand who tried to sell out
their race. The whole plan was an
Infamous one. The colored men who
were in the plot were the hirelings
Of the Hyde Park whites and hoped
to make lot of money out of the
scheme, but the community made it so
hot for the would-be traitors that they
did not attend the second meeting
with the whites. There were only
six colored men who agreed to segre-
gate themselves and they have long
been known as jimcrowists.
An attempt was made to buy out
Rev. John F. Thomas, pastor Of Eben-
ezer Baptist Church, whose congrega-

ments have been completed.

THE ONLY SOLUTION,

| Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton. Sir Sidney
Olivier, whe was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912. put for.
ward the claim that no solution Of the
/ American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. ... .-
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. III the
Island Of Jamaica, where he was gov
!ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies" he said. has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public. men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor

In the midst of the base, unjust, un-
American talk about race segregation,
which Southern whites have started
in Chicago, the statement of a mem
Der of an oppressed race, sounds like
a voice of fairness in the wilderness

A great hullabaloo was raised over
the sale by Rabbi Hirsch of his for

A THANKSGIVING HOMILY.

A peculiar chance brought to our
notice this week copy of The New
York; Independent issued on Thanks
giving Day, Thursday, November 26,
1874. And, under the above caption,
the editor Henry c. Bowen, wrote
words that are as appropriate today
as they were when written forty-five
years ago, and express our sentiments
better than we can, so we reproduce
a portion and say, "Them's our senti-
ments:"
1T is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord" sung the minstrel
king, and his song seems to imply
that the occasion of thanksgiving is
never wanting. This is lesson we
do not readily learn" 49,.
Any man who this day has honest
work and reasonable wages may well
eat his turkey with thankfulness and
drink his tirosh with merry heart
And not least among the causes of our
gratitude is the opportunity afforded
us Of dividing our portion with those
who are in need. The poor we have
with us always; and this is not the
greatest of our hardships, but the
choicest of our blessings If there
is anything that Christian man feels
thankful for, it is the privilege of lift
ing of the load of some of his heavily
burdened neighbours; Of filing homes
that were desolate with the light of
cheerfulness and the warmth of love;
of giving to some sad soul beauty for
ashes and garments of praise for the
spirit of heaviness. The daintiest
Wand in the most tempting feast will
not be half so delicious today as the
remembrance that there are other
habitations where the feast has been
made cheerier and the day brighter by
a thoughtful charity. We envy no
man his Thanksgiving dinner from
whose table is absent that sweetest of
all condiments, the gratitude of the
poor. -".

long as they are here, and have al

The reasons given by speakers are
that Indians should be regarded the
