Pardon me for the length Of my
statement. l would not have made it
if it were not for the fact that this
same intolerance has been voiced to
me by some of my friends who were
in favor of the bond issue against some
of my friends who were against the
bond issue Now, love them all.
The Knocker, God bless him, has
many a time save the ultra- progress
sives from running the locomotive too
fast and ditching the train. We need
the knocker quite as much as the ul-
progressive. Ours is the forward
impelling steam confined in the pistons
of the engine, which, if not controlled
and moderated, would wreck the whole
plant, were it not for the benign gov
crnor moderating its speed.
No, my heart and our city is big
enough to hold in friendly bonds of
affections both those who voted for as
we'll as those who voted against the
bond issue. Let there be no bitterness.

Editor of The Journal:
1 have read in The Journal of Sep
tember 20, the letter of Mr.. ]. n. An
drews on some colored women organ
izing clubs to enforce registration and
voting of all their women, threatening
them. They threaten them also if they
shall be seen carrying a bundle OF
clothes"
The writer also says Il have passed
through recon struction times and kno"
what this means" He refers to
colored woman and her daughter who
have washed for him for thirty years,
adding that Il hereby give notice that
1 do not intend for These clubs to in
terfere or >irtimidate any one satisfied
to serve US"
1t is fair for me to presume that Mr.
Andrews would hardly know about
any colored womens clubs of his own
knowledge, hence he must have been
told" If there is rumor that some
coIored women" are doing unlawful
things through clubs or otherwise,
would it not be better to have the
matter investigated or at least report
it to some officer of the law before
publicly making positive complaints. L
don't know what has been told to any
one, bnt I dare say that the unlaw-
full 'colored women's clubs" up to this
time were unheard of among our people
and could never materialiZe.
It is true that we have various clubs
and organizations among our people
Just like other race people have, but
the object of all is lawful and our pur-
pose is to advise our people how to
proceed in all matters pertaining to
our citizenship and concerning the
welfare of our city.
Our present activity in registration
and voting has nothing~in the world to
do with washerwomen and "recontruc-
ton" In the matter of employment
the individual woman will do as she
thinks best. There are many kinds of
employment open to our women all
over the country that pay more than
the average washerwoman has ever
been able to demand. Its the duty of
everyone to better his condition when
opportunity permits. Even poor,
humble colored washerwoman might
decide to change jobs for better wages.
OF course she will if she is in her
senses.
We are urging our folks to register
and vote for the same reason that
other people are registering and vot-
ms. We want full protection OF the
law, representation where we are con-
Cerned, decent public accommodations
for equal pay, better schools and a
living wage for our teachers, woman
hood respected regardless of color.
good roads. a fair share of public i'm
provements and the free and unabridg-
ed right to vote like any other Amer
lean citizens.
In speaking the sentiment of my
people 1 would say that we have no de-
sire to revert to reconstruction
that our women may do such work as
they choose without being molested.
that no violence will be done anyone
for not registering or voting (but we
urge all to qualify and vote) that no
people who favor the election of good
men to office and a fair and impartial
execution of the law have anything tol
fear from the colored people.
Respectfully,
AARON BROWN.

Soon Foroo often.

Style and fashion ruin the world.
People by trying to keep up with peo-
pie who lead in style soon become too
poor to have the necessaries of life. A
death in a poor family under modern
conditions almost reduces some people
to starvation. If we were rich we
would fix no limit to the burial ex-
penses, but unless we had ample means
to leave the family supplied to live
we would insist on being buried in the
least expensive way. Nothing i'm
presses the world long. A magnifi-
cent funeral is seen for the moment
and forgotten. The man who counts
himself the big man of his town is
little thought of, and not long re-
membered when he is gone. The soon
er we learn that all is vanity, the
better. Who cares what kind Of a
car we have as long as we possess
character, honesty and charity. A
thousand dollar coffin does not perpet-
uate the memory of any man, nor
does d great monument cause anyone
to live in history.-Fort LauderdaIe

In Call to Independents to sup
port Cox and Roosevelt" Professor IT.
wing Fisher, of Yale University and
of the committee of Pro-League Re-
publicans and Independents, says:
Il have always practiced and
preached independence in voting.
There will probably be more indepen-
dent voting this fall than at any time
since the Civil War, and for three
chief reasons. First, the great war has
loosened and opened mems minds;
secondly. the League of Nations is so
colossal an issue that it will inevitably
throw thousan ds, if not millions, of
votes across party lines; thirdly, there
will be some ten million women voters
who have not yet formed any real par
ty affiliations.
Pro League republicans and indie
pendents are getting together to form
an organization in October. l am get
Ting letters every day favoring such an
organization. Among these republicans
and Independents who favor the cleo

the compelled ones:
