the expense and to reopen the Mechan-

positors of that institution may re.
ceive dollar for dollar of their hard

Therefore, be it:
Resolved End, that inasmuch as the
President of a banking institution does
not have charge of tire ledger accounts

is not responsible for entries made
therein, that these resolutions be pre-.
ented to the Banking Division aEi

and unjust humiliation.
Resolved ninth, that in view Of the
present unsettled condition of our pei

and desire to leave this section OF
the country, this unfortunate occur

feeling than anything which has taken
place during the past twenty-five
years.

THE PEOPLE RALLY.

These people thought the source OF
my strength was in my property and
when had signed that away, they at
tempted to put me into the peniten-
tiary, thinking that 1 would not be
able to raise money to pay my lawyers
But they forgot that there is treas
ury never empty, the pockets Of the
people. l have saved other people in
the shadow OF the penitentiaries and
the gallows. Certainly, 1 shall be able
to have the colored folks stand by me-
II the colored people stand solid,
can win. These people talk about steal
ing. Has any one done any more
stealing than the white folks? Would
man, who gave up all of his proper
ty If properly handled would yield
over one hundred thousand dollars.
steal nineteen thousand dollars from
the institution that he was support.

WANT TO SELL HOME HOUSE.

l turned over property to White
trustees, the rental of which was gross
over $11 100000. They sold two pieces
OF this property at $6,750.OO less Than
tbs lowest valuation and twenty thong
ana dollars less than its worth. AS the
commission on this sale was per cent
or 100000 and the loss in value
twenty thousand, the depositors were
the losers to this amount. An effort is
now under way to sell even my OWL
residence to land spectators at far be
low it's actual value and thereby to
put me in the street with neither
house nor home. This is the way am
tr' ated in a city, in which I have re.
sided all of my life. The cost of legit
innate receivership will be so expensive
that depositors would hardly reaIIa-
twenty per cent and the hank would be
in litigation from five to ten years or
longer. 1t will be seen then the only
Iroper course for the depositors
would be to get rid of the receivership
at once. l do wish the depositors, the
cooks, buffers, wash-women, who had
their earnings in the bank to get dol
lar for dollar.

Will You Help Protect Your Own
Family and Community?

Sorrow, disease vce-these are the unlovely things
you fight with the most effective weapons known
when you subscribe to the Community Fund. You.
do relief work-relieving and providing new
chance for thousands of unfortunates
But the greatest work you do is that of prevention
Remember, also, that in this task of prevention
should be considered the character building work
done by Community Fund Institutions. Lives d.
verified from idle shiftlessness to useful citizenship
from Incidence and dependence to industry and
self-respect from paths that lead toward crime to
ways that make for decency-these things may
really count for more worth while accomplishments
than the work of prevention, which affects only
the physical side of life
Consider the summer camps medical cllnlcS set
Element houses, AUGMENTATION classes, whole
some recreation centers and all those agencies
that teach respect for our homes and institutions
Study these and you will find records Of accom-
plshment worth thousands of dollars to Seattleand
every individual in it. Can you afford not to give
generously for these worthy undertakings?
Let's make good our slogan" Seattle Takes Care
of Her Oaun."
Let's be glad of the rich opportunity to aid the I'M
fortunates and help build sturdy upright citizens
The Community Fund is the cheapest way-the
surest Way-and the way in which every dollar
you subscribe is adequately protected and the
greatest proportion goes directly into the work for
which you intend it.
Just One Solicitation: Practically all Of seatdes
worthwhile welfare institutions share in this fund and they ask
you to contribute just this year The Funds books
always open to your nspecion-any questions you ask
will be answered The Campaign closes October s.
Will you do your share?

AS tidal waves sweep irresistiby, engulfing all in
their path-so will the tidal waves of disease,
crime iteracy misery and other enemies of society
swallow up every quarter of this city unless held
in check You and your family cannot escape.
What the fund does-and IS the Funds biggest
job and it's greatest good, is to build stronger and
yet stronger breakwaters to stop the rush of these
tidal waves of disease and distress, preventing the
sweeping of these floods which all Seattle could
not stem once they were upon u.s. but which we all
can and do prevent by supporting the Community
Fund
When you subscribe to the Community Fund you
are not necessarily giving to charity-you are pro-
tecting and insurng yourself and your family. You

the inroads of ignorance crime, disease and other
dangers to the community and the individual
Fifty agencies and institutions are doing this valua-
BILE work for you. Are you willing to get out and
undertake this task-or will you pay your just
share of the bill and let those who, by training and
experience, are well fitted continue to protect you?
