Chairman of the Board of Directors

Advancement of Colored People.
The Vengeance of the Gods" by
William Pickens. Published by The
A. NJ. +. Book Concern. 631 Pine St,
Philadelphia, Pa. Price Sis postpaid.
Mr.. Pickens is we'll known to Amcri-
cans as a public speaker and an essay
writer, but he is new to the world of
fiction. The Vengeance of the Gods
is a slight volume containing four
stories, or to be more exact, two
stories and two sketches of yertablc
happenings.
| confess TO finding reality better
than fiction. The tale of the colored
man who didn't take the upper berth
for which he had paid and who thereby
got its occupant, white man, a good
thrashing and placed the white man
who had planned to attack the Negro
i'll false and ludicrous position, is al
most too good to be true 1t laughs
at white prejudice, and the finest at
tack that we can make on white
prejudice, IS the attack of ridicule And
the last sketch of the colored soldiers
i'll France, Tit for Tat" is the best of
all. 1t Is the story OF the so Rcgi-
ment encamped at Grand Nillars. /
cannot resist repeating the gist OF it.
At Grand Nillars, France, the first
American regiment to be stationed was
a colored one. The French saw these
soldiers and learned to like them heart
lily. The colored men were on their
best behavior and were polite and
gentle to the women and hearty TO all
men. They pushed the baby carriages,
they carried up the water for the girls
from the spring, they were genuinely
democratic, helping rich and poor
alike. The girls of course all took to
them, the doors of every home-- /?
AS soon as the white soldiers saw
that the French girls had been inviting
colored soldiers into their homes, they
were shocked and they at once in
structed the French in race prejudice.
But they overdid it. They overdid it
so much that they gave the colored
soldiers their chance. One of their
lieutenants from New Orleans got the
French folk of the town out to hear
him, and then explained to them that
these new soldiers were not real
Americans. Could they not see it?
Had they not violated all those ideals

HARDING DEMANDS
u. S. ECONOMIzE:
President Tells Budget Makers
They Must Use Pruning
Knife.
OPPOSED TO HIGHER TAXES
Executive in Aadsoss to Department
Heads Says "our Country Is One
of Few in World Which Is Pay
ing It's Way as 1t Gees"

Washington, Again stress
Ing the need for the utmost economy
in governmental expenditure, Presi-
dent Harding warned the budget max
ers of 1924 that the" mast use theil
pruning knives.
Il say frankly to YOU" the Presl-
dent asserted, that I will not send
to congress estimates exceeding the
probable receipts of the government,
and must warn you hat unless YOU
use your pruning knives the eXeeu-
tive will be compelled to cut deeply
Into the estimates presented.
"Our country Is one of the few in
the world which is now paying It's
way as it oes and ! must regard
with disfayor any tendency TO inter-
fere with this condition or to in
crease taxes"
Addresses Department Heads.
The President spoke to several hun
dred departmental heads and bureau
chiefs. organized into "the business
establishment of the government by
Gen. Charles G. Dawes. Following
his address, the new director of the
budget Gen. II. VI. Lord, outlined the
work Of the next year and also
stressed the need for economy.
Praises Budget Makers.
President Harding congratulated
the budget makers for reduction ef-
fected in the past year and then said:
"The prospective net deficit of 40
100000 for the current fiscal year is
a challenge to us all We must here
resolve that through our efforts eX.
penses will be kept within income.
There must be utmost economy.
There ha bean established these
business principles which are capable
of bringing further economy during
the current year.
"The business head Of the govern
ment does not and cannot contem.
plate or expect that expenditure,
this year will exceed income"
Estimates Rsoeipts.
The President said that the best
estimates Of receipts for 1924 are
SO, 100000 ana that expenditures
must be kept within that figure.
"The blazing OF the path of econ
or,y," said the President in conelu-
sion, as no easy task. Expenditure
is too often applauded, where earnest
watchfulness for economy goes IN
noticed except for complaint. But
Their is great compensation for sery-
Ice done. 1t lies in the consciousness
of doing the thing necessary to make
the government more stable"

BOOK REVIEW

| OF democracy OF which they had heard
so much? I'VE allow them to live
in our country, but they hate us.
Many OF them are the descendants
OF the Germans and Austrians and
have much of the arrogance of their
| forbears. We do not associate with
them in our country; we call them
crackers and pecllsp And crackers
and pecks they were to the end of their
stay, outcasts, unable to receive recog-
milton from any OF the French people
Of Grand Villars.
Mr.. Pckens says in his preface that
III the Negro wants to be localized
he must idealize himself. A race
must present its own case and ennobe
its own ideals" He offers these four
stories as a beginning i'll this direction
In the tales the colored are the heroes
and the heroines and the whites occupy
a subordinate and by no means an at
tractive place.
1t is question whether we can get
this method. Rather we shall get the
sort of writing that we dislike in the
whites, special pleading. Those who
lOliON Tut AQSlOlllt d. vi L likGilS puts
it, OF showing the Negro either as a
clown or a villain, have their propa-
ganda, and it is because we see the
propaganda that we dislike the story.
So il we are conscious that the colorcd
writer represents his heroes as virtu-
Gus and heroic because he wants to
teach us lesson, we shall sense the
propaganda and just so far distrust the
story.
When the Negro begins to write
great fiction, and he will before long,
he will write out OF the intense ere
alive impulse of the artist. He will
show us the Negro in his strength and
his weakness. And despite all the
weakness. the truth of the life of the
Negro in America is so terrible, that
he will tear at our heart strings. But
such a writer must give all his lie to
his work. lie must be content ito live
in a garnet aloof, to have few friends,
and go poorly clad No creative
work can be done at odd, tired min
utes.
But l am reviewing a volume OF four
stories, not the great novel OF the fu-
ture. The stories are entertaining and
the presage OF larger things. We hope
that we shall have more of them.
