HELP the CENSUS TAKER

The taking of the census OF the
United States will be begun on FRI
day morning and II is expected that
II will be the fullest and most COM
plete ever compiled in the United
States. Its compilation will be diff
cult and great army OF workers
has been enlisted in its accomplish
ment, but It's success depends upon
the ease and completeness with which
the public responds to the questions
Of those engaged In taking It.
The questions asked must be ans
wered readily and accurately. The
bulk Of the public does not at all
realize the Importance of answering
thus and to great degree of accu-
racy Of tabulation and computation is
lower than II should be.
The public must helm the census
taker. This must be true particu-
larly OF Negroes for the statistics
which will be made up must show
facts as favorable as possible con-
corning us. While we know that we
have increased in population. earning
capacity and acreage, we want the
figures OF the census records TO show
just how much we have done So
This result can be obtained only as
we help the census officials by ans
werlng readily and completely every
thing asked.
We feel that years which have
passed since the taking OF the last
census have found us striving con-
stantly for more education. better
pay, better opportunity and better
homes. The rate OF increase in our
holdings is appreciable and our de-
crease CT illiteracy In encouraging;
but these facts will be made known
10 the outside world only as they
are made to stand out in. the official
records by rates and percentages.
There are many OF our people who
probably, by reason Of lack of infor-
nation. may not understand the me-
cessity OF cooperating with the gov
eminent employees by giving the de-
sired information readily. We all
may help greatly by informing such
of these among us whom we may
meet Of the necessity and advantage
to us OF cooperating in this way.
Figures, as applied to the study
OF the progress or the retrogress Of
people means much. II Is our
duty to our group to see that as
concerning ourselves and those abont
US are intelligently and correctly
stated.

NEGRO SOLDIERS EXECUTING
THEIR DUTY.

1t is claimed that two Negro SOL
diers nearly caused riot In Ft
Worth by having in their charge a
white deserter. II seems strange in
the light Of sane reasoning that such
thing should be SO, They were
U. s soldiers. They had been regu-
larly commissioned by their COM
mandlng officer TO bring back this
military prisoner. They had the
whole authority OF the u. s. army
behind them, But their prisoner was
white and they were black and there
lay the blame which nearly caused
riot.
When we think Of such occur
rcnces we know that Bolshevism
never showed itself In a palmer way.
Anarchy is distaste for constituted
authority. This was anarchy. II
made no difference to the members
Of that mob II these black men did
represent constituted authority. II
made no difference II their prisoner
had shown himself a coward and
less than real American. He was
In the hands Of Negroes and such
was disfasteful 10 these citizens and
they wished 70 set al nanght the

represented BY theBo men.
As long IS huch conditions exist
the government Of America Is in-
secure.

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.

On the day after Christmas most
people pick up the wrapping paper
and string scattered about and ask
themselves whether they really had
as much joy and pleasure from the
giving and receiving of gifts as they
ought to have had. They know that
those to whom they gave, liked and
appreciated the spirit which led to
the giving, but did they like the gifts?
The overflowng ashbarrels, the crowd
around the excange counters in the
stores and additional packages on the
top shelves of unused closets and
attics give the answer, in many
cases.
1t is less trouble and less effort
to give sensible and useful and APP
propriate gifts than the which will
bring neither profit nor qualification
to the recipient. No matter for whom
the gift is designed nor how expen-
sive or inexpensive you desire to
make it, Government Savings Securi-
ties will supply the giver's needs and
the receivers wants. Thrift Stamps,
War Savings Stamps, Treasury Saw
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds
are adjusted to the limitations of
every purse.
Moreover their usefulness is not
momentary. They will not be cast
aside as out of fashion or outgrown
for they grow and increase in value
with the passage of time. They car
ry with them the spirit of desire for
future well-being expressive of true
friendship and affection. They are
appropriate for all and more than
a little excuse exists for a recip-
lent to feel that little thought has
been spent on a gift no matter how
expensive, if it is manifestly in
appropriate

TEST ANDERSON AMENDMENT.
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

Washington, D. c.. Jan. Our
people employed by the railroads are
greatly disturbed over the Anderson
amendment to the Esch Railroad hill
and have started campaign against
1t: The Anderson amendment was
ADOPTED by the House on Nov. 18th,
after a debate of one day, at the in
stance of organized labor. and was
a substitution for the provision re-
commended by the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee making
property Of unions liable for damages
caused, the carriers TO strikes. They
are protesting because the Ander-
son amendment only specifies the
four railway brotherhoods and the
International and National unions for
representation on the adjustment
boards. They claim that as they are
not recognized labor, this Is an nm
FAIR discrimination against them.

MY OWN WORK.
tBy Henry Van Dyke)

This is my work; my blessing. not my doom;
Let do my work from day to day
In field forest at the desk or LOOM
In rearing market place or tranquil room;
Let me but find 1t in my heart to say
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray
This is my work; my blessing, not my doom,
OF all who live. am the only one by whom
The work best be done in the right way"
Then shall see It not too great, nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers;
Then shall cheerful greet the aboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest
Because / know for me my work is best

(Fromr the Camden IN. J.) Post

THE special session of Congress
just closed saved to the nation near
ly a. billion dollars, and if nothing
else had been accomplished by the
Republican control except this is
would warrant an overwhelming Re-
publican victory next year." said
Republican National Chairman Will
H. Hays, in dinner speech at New
York. But this achievement excel
lent as it is, should be only the be-
ginning of policy of drastic reduc-
ton in government expenses, so that
the burdensome taxes which contri-
butte to the high cost of living may
be reduced.
A more popular policy the Repub-
lican party could not formulate for
the people are in revolt against the
extravaganza of the Democratic Ad-
ministration and will support the
party which definitely and in good
faith carries out a policy of rigid
economy in government expenditures.

No Hope For Woman Suffrage In
Democratic Party.

According to a Washington dis
patch to the New York Herald Off
Gals of the National Women's Party
see no encouragement for women in
the attitude of the Democratic party
toward suffrage. One of these Off
Gals is quoted as expressing the be-
lief that ratification Of the suffrage
amendment in time to permit women
generally to take part in the next
presidential campaign will come with
the response of Republican governors
to the resolution adopted by the Re-
publican National Committee at its
recent meeting in Washington ask
ing that special sessions of State
Legislatures be called for the pur-
pose of ratifying the amendment
The fact that the Democrats, by
refusing the last two votes in the
Senate, help up the passage of the
amendment for more than a year,
makes us hesitate to count our rati-
fication votes anti tthey are cast"
was the explanation. IF Republican
Governors will act there is no ques-
ton but the amendment will be pass
ed promptly.
There are still six full suffrage
states which have not acted. In four
Of these. Wyoming. Washington,
Idaho. and Arizona. the Governors are
Republican. The Legislatures of four
other states, presided over by Repub-
lican Governors. stand ready TO ratl-
" II called into session. They are
Connecticut, Vermont. Delaware and
Indiana. Republican Legislatures meet
in regular session in January IN
Kentucky. Rhode Island and New
Jersey. This would leave only one
state TO be secured.

People Agree With HAYS.
(From the Elmira IN. " Adver-..
tiser)

(From the Elmira IN. " Adver-..
tiser)
Judging from the general trend
the people are willing to agree with
viii II. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee. Speak
ing as a representative of the Re-
publicans of the United States, the
national chairman holds that exact
justice must be given employee, last
but not least, exact justice to the
people, which simply means square
deal. Mr.. Hays pledges the Republi-
can party to this principle, and he
has the support of the best minds in
the organization in his endeavor to-
ward an amicable adjustment.
Mr.. Hays, in promising the square
deal, uttered only that which the
people expect and which will come.
aw-abiding citizens realize that la
Dor deserves proper recognition, that
capitol must be treated fairly, and
that the people shall not be forced
to suffer Unfortunately because of
differences between two forces, the
adjustment of which is not beyond
human capacity. All that is re-
quired is give and take. but the Civ
ing cannot all come from one side
it must come from both.

Twenty-Five thousand school teach
ers in Texas, Oklahoma. New Mexico
and Louisiana are teaching their pu-
pills the rudmentary principles of
thrift and personal economy. Prac-
tically every school room is organized
into a Thrift Club for the study of
thrift and the purchase of War Saw
ings and Thrift Stamps.

Galveston County has more owners

The Texas State Teachers As

Under instructions from the State
Superintendent of Pubic Instruction
thrift lessons are given three times
weekly in the public schools.
The high cost of living is not the
only problem before America, ac-
cording to Vice-President Thomas B.
Marshall. The high cost of leisure
is also menace he says. "One of
the old ideas of the republic was
that the limit of striving for success
was the limit of capacity and en-
durance" declared the Vice Presi-
dent recently. "The real evil which
we are confronting today is the high
cost of leisure. l speak in a cen

sideration of younger men who have
the good of the republic at heart,
seriously to consider the problem as
to whether the only way in which
to meet the increasing difficulties of
American life is not by additional
striving to produce more, to earn
more, to economic more and save
more"
Each American citizen has it well
within his power to follow the vice
PRESIDENTS advice, no matter what
his condition. No matter what he
is able to earn, whether small sum
or great, the securities of the govern
ment, Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps, Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates. Certificates of Indebtedness and
Liberty Bonds give opportunity to
save at least part of his reward of
labor.
