THE NEGRO'S SPEND.
ING POWER.
Prof. William Picken in The Port
land Advocate Tells What the
Race is Not Doing

FROM Portland (Ore.) Advocate
In Washington, d. c., the ColoreI
people are said to have S11 900, 900
deposited in white banks and are
sad to pay annually to white mer-
cnaDts SlS,OOO,O00. This represents
power loaned by the Negro to lhe
white people of Washington. Con
slider that Sl1 100000 in the while
banks. What are those banks do
ing with this money? They are
building and capitalizing hotels.
tnefters, amusement and recreation
places which colored people are not
owed to enter. They will use the
very power of this very money 10
beet the colored people if they
shohld sue in the courts to enter a
hotel or a restaurant or the first
floor of theater. 1t is very likely
that those banks earn from one to
S2oOO,OO0 by the use of this deposit
during the year. 1t is not likely
that the colored people draw back
as much as 100000 in interest. Sup
pose the colored people were organ
lzed to aggregate and use capital
themselves? They could then buy
some of the very property where
they are debarred from living. As
1t is now, their money is buying the
property, but they are not allowed
TO live on it or to purchase it be-
cause the money is not under their
control nor under the control of
their people. This money in the
berkS represents power loaned and
practically donated to the people
afc shirt .he doors in the fac. ~
those who are supp sd to own Tho
me- ney.
Now consider that $4,000. 900 OC
. spent in the white stores by colored
people. Suppose this was spent in
say IL department stores owned and
maraged by colored people. These
stores would then do business oI
Sl,O00,0O0 per annum each This
would employ from among the col
ord people IS different sets of bust
ness managers, clerns, agents anC
every other employe from the pres
ident and office force down to tho
floor-sweep and the engineer. AS i
is now. it employs few Negr,
floor-sweeps and scrubwomen-
maybe. If this money were spen
in Negro businesses for the pur
chase Of merchandise, the Negro
would have the merchandise. the
salaries, the wages,-and still hav,
the money. AS it now is the whit,
men have the salary, the earnings
tn dividends-and at the end of th'
year the Negro has only the worr
out clothes and the memory of tn,
food which he may have eaten.
this money were turned over in Ne
gro hands it would still be in Ne
gro hands.
We are spenders. Let us prof
by our own spending power.

Thirty Thousand To Gather In
Cleveland--M Matters of Import
ance to Come Up.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 27.-Thir-
ty thousand former service men
are expected to attend the second
annual convention of the American
legion here on Sept. 81, % and 20.
The convention, which will take
up problems Of nationwide interest,
will also provide opportunity for
scores Of reunions Of divisions and
smaller units. Visitors will include
many distinguished men.
A parade on the opening day is
to be one of the features Of the gath
ering. All of the Legionnaires will
march. Sixty bands will furnish
the music. The size Of the parade
is expected to freshen memories of
the veterans of the time when the
French peasants stood at roadsides
to watch the men of the American
expeditionary force marching to
the front.
There will be big questions to
! decide. Among the chief of them is
that Of the attitude of the legion
toward a bonus for the 1000, OOO
members Of the legion, and the
question Of q drive to bring every
eligible 1x-service man within the
fold. The aim Of s.ch q campaign
leaders state, would be to make the
legion the most powerful, non-par-
tisan, unselfish force in American
affairs.

Brown, who passed away Nov. %, 1919.
The month of November is here,
To US the saddest of the year
For her memory is as dear today
As in the hour she passed away.
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly pine away,
Yet in our hearts we often prayed
That she might longer stay
Through all her sufferings, at times
She smiled the smile Of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home,
She smiled farewell to earth.
Her willing hands will toll no more,
Her work on earth is Ger;
God grant that we all meet her
On that beautiful shore.
Husband, Judge R. G.. Brown, and
Brother, John E. Rexter.

parted this life Nov. %, 1919.
To-day recalls sad memories,
Of a loved one gone to rest,
And those who think of her to-day.
Are those who loved her best.
A Faithful Mother, kind and true, no
friend on earth like you well find. Mother,
dear, We still do miss you, since God called
you way to join his heavenly angels one
year ago today. We miss your presence
and loving smiles to cheer us. In all our
troubles and cares, for of grief and sorrow
We have had our share, but the loss of you,
dearest mother, is the hardest to bear. Pa
tiently waiting for the happy reunion in the
great beyond, where no farewell words are
spoken but all is peace and joy in heaven.
