in the negative statement that you

we are receptive only after we can
think without pain. The poverty
stricken are more likely to look upon
the world as cruel rather than wear

But we Negroes are willing to work
by way of producing, and we will not
be denied the beauty that culture Of
fers to those who produce. In order
to win this larger something called
culture, we propose to do all we can
TO promote the interest of our fam
lilies. We do not want any foolishness
about this either. We want a good
house to live in, plenty of food on the
table, sufficient clothes to wear, we
want all the children to go to school.
We want all the comforts of the home
and a few of the luxuries. And after
we have secured these things we can
give more attention to environment
n how to create the kind that will
help to develop us along progressive
lines. With this comes the many COM

Economy hinges upon production
and distribution of all that is right
and useful to mankind. We must
therefore approach this in the scien-
tific name of seeing how well we
act as beneficiaries of production and
how fairly and equally we distribute
as we receive. We should understand
by this that the workman's earning
power represents his production to
society, and his fair distribution repre-
sents his sense of economy. The in.
divlduaps labor makes him a producer,
makes him the fairest and ~suuarest
unit of society, Money paid to this
laborer represents the bond of his
production. The laborer distributes
his production to other units of soci-

and will usually get all the comforts
OF home. If he is careful to learn

cUsTODIANs OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

If at any time any man or group of
men organize, promote, advance or
foist any move, business or enterprise
upon the community that proves a
hoax or farce fro mthe beginning to
the ending, then that man or group OF
men have sealed their doom so far as
being custodians of public funds is
concerned. A custodian Of funds per
forms practically the same function as
the custodian of a building, both are
supposed to take good care of that
which is entrusted with them. The
only difference there a possibly be
in the two at any time is the guam
tity Of responsibility. The quality is
just the same since both offices are
built upon trust and confidence. Woe
be unto either one who betrays his
trustl 'TwOuld have been better that
he had seen a building or a
fund. He will never regain his eGui-
Ibrium in the community so far as
further being a custodian. The stamp
of Beware" is placed upon his fore
head by the public, who remembers
well just when and where and by
whom it was unduly gouged. Young
men, Ye who contemplate entering in
to business or promoting some move.
ment that involves public funds, re-
member always how terrible it is to
betray the trust of the people. Be
honest, do the right thing even though
you have to sleep in the streets or
sip soup with a fork.

To the ordinary strata of economic
units it is Eat, Eat, Eat, and Work,
Work, Work. And when they stop
working, they must necessarily stop
eating. Hoy many of us have ex.
peTienced this? 1t is a world problem.
Only production on our part, and a
scientific distribution can make this
condition less acute or compelling to
us. We have pointed out to you how
distribution may work for your inter-
est if you are app~reciative of economy
itself. We have told you that distri-
button to you mean getting the very
best results of your labor for your
self and family, and this works natur-
ally through your home life. If you
are not getting the best results from
your labor, We dare say that it is your
fault. If you can produce and don't
progress, then its forty chances to One
that you are infringing on some Of
the natural laws of economy. Instead
of adding assets to your material ex-
istence you are probably fostering I'M
natural liabilities. You are probably
foolish in many desires; exorbitant in
expenditure; or maybe you get lux
uries" before you enjoy the common
comforts of a home. This is a good
way to get down (using the vernac-
ular). Nobody can afford to have
luxuries without first possessing Sc
curely the common comforts of life.
For instance, take an individual who
pays big money for taxi service" and
has not even the assurance that the
coming week will bring his meals, this
fellow is simply dtracting from his
stomach. We want luxuries, but we
want them in a sensible way.
