THE NEGRO PROBLEM.


Here and there the discussion Of
the negro problem is again breaking
out. 1t is generally due about con-
vention time. and lasts for some time
thereafter.
Perhaps the main thing to be dis
covered about the negro problem is.
that IL must be solved by the negroes.
The white people can extend n help
ing hand. but the work and the plan
ming must he by the colored people.
1t is like the Indian problem That
remained unsolved and apparently
unsolvable. az long as the white man
tried to solve it, But when Cato Sells
had an inspiration. and put the red
man on his feet and compelled him to
do for himself and TO seek his own
way. 1t was found that there was
no more Indian problem.
The solution was found in a single
word. Work" The wards Of the ma
tion who had heretofore been depend
ent. upon Uncle Sam. are becoming
selt-sustaining and self-respect-
ing citizens of the United States.
And the solution OF the negro
problem is found in the words,
Work and Thrift" When the COL
ored people everywhere in the land
shall have learned these words and
their full meaning. and have learned
ana practiced what these words
stand for, the negro question will
haze been solved.
And what is thus recommended, can
not he done for the colored people
ny others. They must work for them
serves and they must practice thrift
ana fruSality-there is no other way
out.

THE PRIMARY LAW.
Knoxville Journal

The Journal hopes that whoever
may be elected to the legislature
from Marion county will vote to re-
veal the primary election law and
substitute the old caucus convention
plan AZ machinery for the nominal
ton Of public officers. The writer
put in a good deal of time amt
energy In the old days trying to Sc
cure the enactment of the primary
law. It was beautiful theory. but
the results attained have not been
up to the promise. 1t has lowered
the standard Of public service and
practically destroyed the political
parties. 1t is expensive to both the
people and the candidates and a
nuisance to the average voter. 1t
opens the door for the demagogues
and self seekers and reduce the
public service to purely mercenary
level. 1t ought to be repealed.

BIG STADIUM FOR
PASADENA PLANNED
(By United PreSS)

PASADENA, Cal, Nov. 26.-Plans
which are expected to make California
the athletic center of the United
States are on their way to consumma-
ton here.
They include, as the first step, the
construction of a giant stadium and
football field in the picturesque Ar
oryo Seco canyon, on the outskirts of
Pasadena, designed to hold approx
mately $4,000 persons. The stadium
will be built of concrete. Work prob
ably will begin in February, and it is
expected to have its opening with the
east-west football gamer Of New
Years day, 1922.
The stands, fields and appurtenanc-
es will cover approximately 40 acres.
Financing of the project is being
accomplished by means of selling 10,-
000 long term tickets. They are divid-
ed into two classes, the first admitting
the owner to all events taking place in
the stadium for a period of ten years
and costing $100. The second form of
ticket gives the same privilege for
four years and sells for $50. The
tickets are made out much like a
passport, carrying a photograph of
the owner, description and other
data.

VALLEY BANKS
GET CREuT FOR
COTTON LOANS

j. Dabney Day, vice president of the
First National Bank of Los Angeles
and chairman of the cotton committee
of the Los Angeles clearing house, in
summarizing the cotton situation and
the work which the Los Angeles clear
ing house banks are doing to aid in
taking care Of the cotton crop for Cal
ifornia, Arizona and New Mexico,
points out that all that the Los An
geles clearing house banks can do is
merely to aid the banks in the cotton
districts to. carry on the financing Of
cotton and remove from their shoul-
ders a small part of THE load. - ,l..,iz
Mr.. Day said: ctoThe Los Angeles
banks have been asked to- carry only
Ia small; proportion of this financial
burden which the banks in the cotton
districts have assumed. Up to date
we have been called upon to advance
less than $1,000,0O0 to aid the banks in
the cotton growing districts to gather,
store and insure the present crop.
Therefore, the credit for the protec-
tion of the present cotton crop is not
due to the banks of Los Angeles, but
to those banks in the district which
have aided so materially in caring for
the grower from the very beginning
of the planting season.
"For instance, there is one bank in
the cotton growing section with de-
posits ranging between $4,000,00O and
$5,OO0,000 which is now carrying for
the cotton growers approximately ST.
25O,O0O. The various banks in the
Salt River district have loaned this
season more than $9,000,000 on the
cotton crop, and the same condition
exists in other producing districts.
"To the banks, therefore, of the cot
ton belt must be given the credit for
the great work which is being carried
on, for all that we are doing is simply
to lend a helping hand where the load
on the valley banks becomes heavy"
