GIVE AWAY MILLION
BEFORE THEIR DEATH
Ball Brothers of Indiana
FaUor Distribution While
LiUing.

MUEcIE, Ind. March 12,-If you have
money to give away there is no time
like the present. Is the philosophy Of
Frank c. Ball. His three brothers hold
the same hought. ard a fifth brother,
row dead held that theory during his
lifetime. The four living brothers and
the estate OF the other brother have
just given $1,000,000 for educational
and welfare work
I'VE are giving this $1.000.000 because
we believe 1t better to do sucn things
while we are living than allow others
tc do 1t for us after we are dead" ex-
planned Frank c. Ball. Life at best
IS short and uncertain and the time for
men to do good with cneir money is
when they can personally direct the use
of it. Nobody has ever found way
of taking his money with him to wher-
ever he goes after he dies.
I'VE are glad to make these gifts to
these institutions and for these pur-
poses, hbt because we seek apprecia-
tion, but because we believe 1t to be q
good thing to do and because Of the
satisfaction we receive In knowing that
we may be responsible 10 some slight
extent in aiding humanity"
The gifts were made the names OF
Frank c. Ball, Edmund b. Ball, George

And of course it looks like treason,
Its attributed to the sin
And the hell of lighter men.
We don't call it any caper
And we see things in the paper
That will bleach a dark complexion
almost white
Some may think it's very funny
To be paying out their money
For the stuff that makes them look a
horrid sight
And they know down in their hearts
it isn't right.
There's a day coming. maybe
When the crib will hold a baby
That will grow up without thought of
how he looks,
He will go away to college,
Where he takes a whirl at knowledge,
And show the world some very punch

What it takes to master all the books.
Now my friends it doesn't matter
How a skin looks does not Aatter
Being black or white or red or brown
or yellow
A complexion cannot make you
Any more than it can break you
If you're clever enough to act a real
fellow.

TUsKEGEE's TRUSTEE CHAIR
MAN DISAG REEFS WITH
-BIRTHRIGHT" AUTHOR

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.--Few
Negroes in real life have blundered as
Peter Siner did" said William G. Will
cox, Chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Tuskegee Normal and In
dustrial Institute, in a recent letter to
7. s. Striking, the author of the novel,
"Birthright," which ran serially IN the
Century Magazine and now appears in
book form. Mr.. Willcox's letter to
Mr.. Stribling is as follows:
Il have just read 'Birthright' with
much interest and am tempted to ask
if you had any definite object in writ
ing it?
The description of conditions at
'Niggertown' is a vivid picture of the
aftermath of slavery. 1t is, as / sup
pose you intended, a description of
conditions which existed in the worst
sections of the South and which con-
fronted anyone who sought to educate
or improve the Negro people. Unfor-
tunately such conditions are not con-
fined to any race or section and it
would not be difficult to find similar
pictures among the white immigrants
and factory operators in the North.
Such pictures do not indicate the char
acter of capacity of the race as whole
but rather the morbid conditions re-
sulting from the environment of par
ticular group.
Peter Siner represents a weak man
who has been given a college course
without any solid foundation either in
education or IN moral character. His
dismal failure furnishes a strong en-
dorsement of Booker Washington's
theory that Negro education must be-
gin with fundamental training of the
hand, the mind and the character, and
build from the ground up. Few Ne
groes in real life have Numbered as
Peter did while thousands trained at
Tuskegee and other schools are today
making good in all sections of the
country.
The general effect of the book
seems to me to discourage the effort
to educate and elevate the Negro race.
l cannot believe this to be your inten-
ton and | am sure that the facts do
not at all warrant any such dishesrten-
ing picture"
