IGNORANT ALIENS

THE ignorant alien is the Of American in
stitutions. Although we mus; not forget that
our language is polygot and that individually
have coursng through our veins the bloods of many
nations and many peoples, we should never lose
sight of the fact that the lower types inferior
to the Ango-Saxon and Teutonic races.
The who comes to America with the in
bred blood OF certain southern types in his veins
may profit from America but America can never
profit from him. Every cross every generation is
an Improvement on his type. But what havoc does
It work types that truer to American stand
ards?
When America was in its most generic phase the
men who sought to conquer it were strong They
fortune at least existence from the soil, from
the streams, from the air. The work that they did
called for the most vigorous types that the old world
could produce
Through all ages this has been true 1t took 4
Columbus TO traverse the Atlantic 1t our hardy
Morse forebearers who dared the ocean in open
boats 10 the shores OF Newfoundland. 1t was the
most select type that conquered Kentucky and the
Northwest 1t was the most vigorous who VEN
tured TO California in 10. 1t was the adventurer,
the super-fit man. who braved the rigors of the
frozen north to conquer the golden streams of
Alaska.
Now with wealth and plenty on every hand, the
less venturesome OF the foreign types, driven by
hunger at home are impeed by primary law of
sepreservaton. to seek home and shelter in America.
For generations the story OF wealth in America
has been carried to foreign lands by the more hardy
spirits. Now the less vigorous types are inundatng
America just as Rome and Athens were swept down
by less vigorous types when the manly and strong
became soft. under the influence OF too much
wealth.
These who spring from the loins of people
who too timid to take risk in America when
america called for strong to conquer her, are
the types that spread the germs to bolshevism and
unrest
Strong American types never spread red phio-
sophy. The vigorous is too busy getting what
he wants 10 whine
The weakened race is inmical to American in
sl,u,ons, ideals and even the home race. We are
being bred out.

iotice Of Change of Policy Of this
Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc.

y
Notice Is hereby given by the
manager OF this paper, that be-
ginning with August list there
will be a charge on all matter sent
here for publication except purely
news.
All papers, Obituaries. Pro-
grams. Resolutions. Essays. Ser
mons. Personal Write ups. etc.
There will be a charge of 81 90
for the above named for IS lines
and all articles containing more
than Is type lines Ioc will be
charged tor every additional line.
This does not apply to news OF
the churches.
We are compelled to do this for
financial protection. Our more
than g years of experience in
the newspaper world has taught
US that we have been giving
away hundaeds of dolIrrs annually
paying for setting type for such
things in which the general public
is not interested in. and most OF
the time the persons writing are
not subscribers and not interested
in and have no Race pride or
Race Loyalty, they make long
and loud speeches to the galleries.

race lovers find excuses ia giving
their work to others claiming they
are too high priced or the work is
inferior to others, when at the
same time these same papers that
they refuse to let do theirs are CO
ing work for Negroes who do not
pose as Race leaders, and too,
these same race papers are doing
Job work for some of best bust
ness firms and individuals OF the
white race. The papers are great
so long as they boost this class Of
individuals for naught and let him
help the fellow who does not need
his financial assistance. There
seems too much racial jealousy
and envy among the majority
OF our great leaders and that ac-
conuts for slow progress along
race enterprises.
Therefore we have taken the
matter under careful advisement
and have concluded to place
small charge on all matter except
purely news. All Associational.
Conventional matter we expect
the officers OF the Bodies to take
care OF in a more systematic way
hereafter at quarterly and annual
meeting. Our experience at the
meetings in the past forces us to
make this request.
No one who believes in Just
compensation for honest work
will object to this requirement.
