THRIFT is just little saved out
of every pay envelope to help
nroYide for the proYerbial

of every pay envelope to help
provide 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 nickel, every
dime, and every dollar that we can
possibly spare.
One among the most valuable les
sons a person can learn at home or
in school is that money is the repre-
sentative of labor; tangible COM
pensation for efficient service, and
not gift to be had merely for the
asking. The penny that is earned
by child is vastly more valuable to
it than one obtained by soliciting.
When the child grows older it will
find that the world does not hand
out money merely for the asking,
but only in return for efficient serv-
ice. The growing boy or girl can
not possibly be taught better les
son than to be compelled to render
some kind of efficient service in re-
turn for his or her spending money.
Even though the services rendered
be trivial, such as carrying wood,
washing dishes, busting, or running
errands, the value of the lesson re-
mains.
After earning money by working,
it becomes necessary that it should
be spent wisely in order that the
greatest mental, moral and financial
benefits may be derived from it. If
child is merely taught to earn
money just to spend it, he is acquir-
ing the habits of a spendthrift, which
will surely increase as it grows older
and proves disastrous. Every par
ent owes a duty to the child in
training it-first, to earn largely and
then spend wisely. Home training
decides whether or not the child is to
be thrifty or spendthrifty; saver or
a waster; a soldier in the great army
of those who toll honestly for their
support, or a Stacker in the rear
ranks who exists at the expense of
those who work.
The habit of thrift is steadily in
creasing among Negroes and that is
the thing which really counts. The
records show that they were among
those who purchased literally of the
Liberty Loan Bonds, War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps; and they
are ready patrons of Christmas saw
ings Clubs, home budding and loan
associations, savings banks and life
insurance companies. To save for
any one thing helps person to ac-
uuire the habit of saving generally,
and it is a habit that grows. The
individual who once begins to save
little money and adds to 1t for
given purpose is certain thereby, IN
a greater or less degree to learn the
value of saving and to appreciate the
penalties of extravaganza.
Americans know better how to
earn than how to save. We need to
be constantly reminded that 1t is not
so much the lack of ability to ac-
auire as the lack of Judgment in ex-
pending wisely that occasions pc
nury." Saving is like any other good
habit: it requires constant effort on
the part of individuals to acquire,

TRUE HEARTED, RED-BL0ODED
WHITE MEN DECLARE FOR
JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS


<vTHITE responsibility for a just
w settlement of the Negro ques-
ton in the United States is
brought into broad relief by the race
riots of the last fortnight in the
national capita, and in Chicago. That
Washington, a city of diplomatists
and world activities, the seat of the
federal government, yet knowing the
Negro as few great cities have the
opportunity of knowing him, should.
nevertheless, prove unable to pre-
vent race differences from going to
such extremities as have of late been
a mater of record there, is an evil
dence of conditions that call for
something other than superficial
treatment with the police and the
military. Armed patrols may keep
order in the streets, but what is
needed is that the heart of this sit
uation shall be set-right.
Back of all the ill-feeling now ex-
isting between Negroes and whites in
this country, it is probably fair to
say, is the feeling of the Negroes that
they have perfectly well-defined and
incontrovertible rights under the fed
eral constitution that are not being
recognized for Negroes as they are
for white persons. The franchise
right is involved, but not by long
way is it the principal right. The
principal right, undoubtedly, is the
right secured under such assurances
as these:
No state shall deprive any
person of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process of law.
Cart. XIV, Sec. l of Amend
ments.)
No person shall be held to
answer for a capital, or other
wise Infamous crime, unless on
indictment of a grand jury.
Cart V of Amendments
In all criminal prosecutions,
the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public
trial, by an impartial jury of the
state and district where the
crime was committed, with wit
nesses for and against him, and
with counsel to defend him.
Cart. VI of Amendments
The right assured by the sections
of the constitution here summarized
is nothing less than the right of an
individual to justice under a popular
government framed. as the preamble
to the constitution expressly declares,
to establish justice" as well as to
ENSURE domestic tranquility" and to
promote the general welfare" And
justice for a Negro, under the Amer
lean form of government, can mean
nothing less than that, if he main
tains himself as a decent, law-abid-
ing citizen, he shall have such pro-
lection from the government as will
assure him in his right to life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happiness,

A Big Reception Given in Honor of the
Returned Oversee Soldiers.

Thursday night of last week, the
Civic League enjoyed the presence of
large attendance at their meeting.
Mr.. Toliver, secretary of the league
read heart-gripping paper on the sub
ject, 1.-The Sense of Reason" Mr. Tol-
iver stated in his paper that the race
was losing its sense of reason and
drifting away from God to worship
idols. He referred to ancient Israel,
whom God lead out of Egypt and cared
for them as long as they kept their
sense of reason and obeyed God; but
the moment that they failed, their en-
emies came upon them, staying many,
and God refused them the vision of
the Promised Land, and of entering
therein.
He also stated that God had brought
us out of the house of bondage, and
Unless our immoral habits We're inn
proved and we began to serve God
with sense of reason, we should
never conquer our enemies.
After few brief remarks on the
paper by II. C. Jefferson and others, a
very interesting article was read by
Miss Lillian jefferson taken from one
of the Chicago newspapers on the re-
cent race riots in that city, which
touched along the same line rs Mr.. Toll
iver's paper.
Reverends C. o. Smith and J. Il.
Muse made short talks in the interest
of the league. Some very interesting
narratives were also given by the over
sea boys present, namely, Ruben Smith,
Charles Nandorf and James b. Barker.

John r. Shillady, secretary of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of ColOred People, today tele-
graphed Governor Dorsey of Georgia
calling his attention to the reported
lynching of negro at Cochran, Ga,
for making remarks about the race
riots in Chicago, and asked what the
state of Georgia was doing to appre-
hend and punish the lynchers. The
telegram is as follows:
August Z, 1919.
Hon. Hugh NJ. Dorsey,
Governor, Atlanta, Ga.
The lynching is reported by the
press of negro at Cochran, Ga, the
charge being that the negro made re-
marks about Chicago riots. The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People respectfully
asks what the state of Georgia is do
ing to apprehend and punish the
lynchers and calls attention to the
fact that no crime against womanhood
was even alleged.

New York, n. Y, Aug. S.-The
swarthy complexion of the members
of the Abyssinian mission caused the
officials of the National Democratic
Club, 611 Fifth avenue, to draw the
color line. The club members are in
sistently declaring that they drew no
color line To combat their argument
comes a statement from Gen. III. III.
Iopakyan, Persian Consul General in
New York, who is equally insistent
that the club acted unwisely in OBJ
jecting to the Abyssinian guests of
high lineage. In the meantime L. S.
government representatives, who
represented the nation in accepting
the AbySSian delegation in America,
are stoutly maintaining they will in
form the President of the entire af-
fair, intimating that they will leave
the question of an explanation from
the Democratic club directly to Mr..
Wilson.
Guest Is Rejected.
According to General Topakyan he
had planned Il great farewell dinner
to the Abyssinian guests. The guests
consists of Prince Dejazmatch Nadao,
nephew of the Empress of Abyssinia.
and who traces his lineage back
to the fold of wise old King Solomon,
and others of the high rank in the far
eastern Kingdom. The general ar
ranged for the dinner in the Demo-
cratic club. Shortly before the hour
of dining, he escorted his encourage
down Fifth avenue, stopping the mo-
tor procession while he purchased
some cigars. As he ascended the
steps. the general declares an official
OF the club looked out and beheld the
dark faces of the Abyssinian notables.
Straightway, the general says, the
dinner reservations We're cancelled.
Republicans Entertain.
The National Republican Club was
next appealed to and similar arrange
ments made for the same hour. with
out objection, although the circum-
stances of the recent refusal, 1t was
said, We're explained. The general is a p
bipartisan and Il member of both or
ganiZations.
