PARSON CAMPBELL CALLED TO
TASK.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Please allow me enough space in
your valuable paper to reply to an
article that appeared in the San An
tonic Express by one of our most
popular and worthy devines in the
person of DR.. L. L. Campbell, Austin,
Texas.
l was almost knocked off my feet
when / read his article relative to the
Negroes in the South.
First, he said that the Negro man
and the white man were getting along
smoothly down here; well, if that be
true Mr.. Campbell must have been
speaking of himself as a whole.
OF course, l Judge from the radical
stand he has taken concerning the
Negro in the south, he must be well
fabricated with the oil of luxury.
l am unable to see right here just
fom what point Of view Mr.. Campbell
can frankly say that the Negroes in
the south are getting along smoothly
with their white neighbor, when they
are being lynched almost daily and
deprived of every privilege that is
enjoyed or given any other race.
They say it is some times best to
stoop to conquer, but l would have
more backbone, manhood and race
pride than to say that things are
going well with us in the south or
in the north.
/ want to say to Mr. Campbell,
just because the strawberries are in
the pail of water that doesn't neces-
sary make the water red. Now be-
cause some of us are living high and
getting everything our craving hearts
wish. that doesn't always demon
strate the fact that our race as a
whole is getting all that is due it.
Mr.. Campbell, you say that we
should stay in our places, will you
please be kind enough, since you are
big Negro leader. to tell us where
our places are? According to the
14th and 18th Amendment, any space
that is large enough to hold nat
uralized citizen of the United States
is considered his place.
Your son and other good citizens
sons have fought to maintain the
places mere Ill lnlS COuuIly anu ollCS
the victory has been won and the
smoke has about cleared away. You
are beginning to stir up that old
saying, ''The Negro Should Stay in
His Place" If he is a citizen of
this country, he has a perfect right
to enjoy all the privileges this coun-
try affords.
You say if we take the white mans
advice prosperity would be ours.
You take history for it and you will
see that this statement has in it a
leak. 1 suppose you mean If we go
ahead and suffer to be lynched. jim
crowed and stand all OF these i'll
treatments that are thrusted upon
our race and act in the same man
ner of sheep, we would be called
"Niggers." If we take such sugges-
tons from you sir, our schools, col
leges and churches should be elimi-
mated.

Take Active Part In Fight
Against High Living Cost.

Fight the high cost of living by
avoiding waste, buying carefully, saw
ing what you can and investing this
saving in Registered Treasury Saw
ngs Certificates or War Savings
Stamps. Work and save! This is
doubly wise at this time as not only
is the money being saved and put to
work making interest, but dollars
with low purchasing power now are
being invested with certainty that
they will buy more later on.
The dollar today will buy less in
groceries, clothing and other necessi-
tics than at any time since the Civil
War. There is every indication, how
ever, that prices will be more normal
IN a few years. The dollars invested
in these new Registered Treasury
Savings Certificates which have Just
been issued by the U. S. Government,
or War Savings Stamps will not only
buy more five years from now, but
will bring the interest earned with
them when returned to their owners.
Save all you can and put the dollars
you save to work for you. You will
find you are making good progress
this way in giving old III. c. L." his
death blow.

DOES 1T PAY TO PREPARE ALONG
INDUSTRIAL LINES ALTHOUGH
YOU ARE COLORED? WHAT
DOES THE MISTRESS OF EX.
PERIENCE SAY2
Ask Mr.. w. d. Thomas. The Auto
Specialist Of the Race In this City.
Inquire Of s. w. COlemOn, The
Specialist in Electrical Appliances.
These Men Belong to the Church.
N. w. Harllee.

One burning question insists in be
ing answered and answered correct
ly and wisely, does it pay to train
the youth of the land along indus
trial lines? The next question that
must be answered and answered
without prejudice and unbiased, was
the sage of Tuskesee correct in his
views when he advocated industrial
training for the masses of his people,
and If so why and not why not?
Only yesterday a white firm wanted
skilled workman, this firm did
not ask for a white man nor q
black man, but wanted man, the
man who could do the work, the
man who had Been trained both in
the school of skilled workmen, and
VINO had been further trained in
the school of actual experience, in
actual contact with the requirements
in the handicrafts, in the slSillful use
and the manipulation of the various
tools and their application in dexter
ity or manual appliance. The various
applicants were called in one at a
time and closely INTERCEPTED by a
specialist in the work which was re-
quired to be done, the long line OF
applicant was cut down to one man
after the several applicants for the
position had been subjected to the
to the scrutible and searching and
exact text in the required mechan-
ism and the intricate affairs incidence
to such work. one man and only one
was required to remain, the others
being dismissed as soon as they fail
ed in this severe text. Who was
the man who was asked to remain
and what about him, and why should
he be ask to remain? Well. he did
remain, and is still with the firm
and why is he still with the firm
But you insist in knowing the man
and we are pleased to be in a po-
sition to oblige your keen curiosity
His name is W. d. Thomas, residing
at 2630 Juliette street. He took time
to prepare as skill workman, re-
quiring a full four years course in
regular school of metal work along
mechanical lines. He is an expert
artist and skilled workman in the
auto industry and his employers value
him first because he is worth to
them and his services enhance the
value OF their commodities and ef-
fects. Thus we see that 1t pays to
be able to do with skill what we
arc required to do, and this will be

Hammering the Hun line until it
bent and broke, bearing the Kaiser and
his clans down to inglorious defeat,
the American soldiers used one weap-
on in greater numbers than any other.
1t was a weapon they had never used
before, one that had been obsolete
for centuries-the hand-grenade-but
when the brawny lads from the U. S.
A. sent the old "eggs," as they were
called, spinning into dugout and pill
box, the only Boches remaining on the
round we're those ready to he buried.
,C-caades were known to have been
used five centuries ago. In 1927, at
tie siege of the Fortress of Casmag-
gicre or the River Pc in Italy, the de-
tenders used primitive grenade,
made of a glass bottle filled with
powder. For a time, grenades were
made out of heavy paper, then out of
glass and then out of metal. With
the close of the eighteenth century,
the grenade began to be discarded
sand little use had been made Of it IN
til the Russo-Japanese war in 1904
1t remained for the Great World
War to see the grenade developed into
its present. efficiency. The grenades
used by the American doughboys
were as carefully manufactured as
their rifles. But the end of hostilites
found limited supply on hand and
these were turned over to the Saw
ings Division Of the Treasury Depart
ment, the explosives extracted and
they have been made over into savings
banks.
Thus a weapon Of war has been
transformed into weapon of peace"
Instead of being used to battle the
Hun, it is now being used in the fight
against the High Cost of Living and
the arch-enemy, Thriftlessness. Any
| boy or girl can secure a grenade by
purchasing a S. War Savings Stamp;
any adult by investing in three or
more War Savings Stamps, but these
must have been bought after July
Is, 1919. These hand grenades will
be distributed through local banks and
by few merchants.
If you want grenade, get, busy.
Make arrangements with your banker
Immediately. Only a limited number
of these rare and unique souvenirs of
the World War could be secured and
when they are gone there will be no
chance of obtaining one. You don't
have to wait until the grenade is re-
ceived to begin saving. Do that now.
Then when the grenade arrives you
will have that much of ia start to-
ward owning it,. Ask your banker
about it today.
Buy War Savings Stamps regular
| ly. NAfter you get your grenade, keep
on buying. Don't let your weapon

Bankers Declare These Very
Best Securities That
Money Can Buy

Hundreds of banks over the Elev-
enth Federal District have already
invested in the new $1,000 Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates and
more orders for them are being re-
ceived every day by the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Dallas. Bankers are
practically unanimous in declaring
these new 500 and $1,000 Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates the
best securities the Government has
ever offered.
Individuals, corporations, cities,
counties and school districts are also
buying these Registered Certificates
in large numbers. The State of Texas
was one of the first purchasers, State
Treasurer John w. Baker getting $500
worth for each of two State funds.
The law does not permit more than
$1,000 (worth, maturity value), to be
held in any one name, but each men,
Der of family or firm, each director
in a bank or corporation may hold
that amount.
The 500 Certificates may be pur-
chased at all first and second class
postoffices and from all banks and
trust companies, while the $1,000
Certificates are obtai2able from banks
and trust companies only. Each Ger
tificate is registered in the buyers
name when issued and the buyers
name is also inscribed on the face of
the Certificate.
Bearing interest at per cent, COM
pound every 80 days, and maturing
January /, 1924, these Registered
Treasury Savings Certificates form an
ideal investment. They are exempt
from taxation, insured by the Gov
eminent against loss and may be
cashed on ten days notice. War Saw
ings Stamps Of the 1919 issue may be
converted into these Certificates if
desired.
The cost price for the 500 Regist-
cred Certificates is as follows: Aug
ust $3.50; September $4,000; Octob-
err $500; November $84.40; Deem
her ss4.60.
The cost of the $1,000 Registered
Certificate is only 1888 for August;
September $40; October $S42; No
vember 1914; December $S46.
The Government will pay the full
face value of these Registered Treas
ury Savings Certificates on January
l. 1924, or the amount invested with
accrued interest if the holders want
TO cash them before that date.
BE wise, invest in the new Regist-
cred Treasury Savings Certificates.
