In other words, we subscribe to the belief
Of an ardent Negro business man who holds
that a solid economic wealth must be built up
@nong the BRETHREN to strengthen the
lever by which they are trying to open wider
the door of Opportunity in this country. Nor,
said he, can that economic wealth be confined
70 church property and fraternity treasures.
il must be distributed into the Golfers of Ne
gro business enterprises, investments, home
ownership and education. We quite agree
with the gentleman; and though we are fra
ternally inclined ourselves, we honestly yearn
for the day when the whistle of a Negro fac
tor yor the click of the cash register of a
Negro enterprise, from a bootblack shop to a
radium plant, sound as sweetly to the BRETH
Rem as the loot of a steam engine and the
slide of a cash drawer in a railway station.
And, as we said before, first the birth rate of
business coin must be increased,-at least it
must be 'equalized with the death rate of
church bell and %fraternal convention green
backs. Selal1!

CAMP MEETIN' TIME.
q y

The good old summer time has come and
with it the time when the faithful members
and friends of the Elks, the Eagles, the Ma
sons, the Knights, and every ~fraterna1 sect,
from the Synchronized Order of Elijah to the
Grand Dukes of Saint Joseph, will look some
station agent right square in the eye and ex-
change some 'In God We Trust" coin for a
railroad ticket to somewhere. Our people
are the greatest conventioneers in the whole
world, ard the 1925 railroad and automobile
caravans to solemn sessions bid fair to make
past years seem like mere pilgrimates to the
front yard and back.
We have no desire to throw any cold water
upon the aspirations of our people to get to-
gether and exchange ideas for the greater
emancipation of Americas dark tenth. Yet
we honestly wonder if it would not be more
beneficial to divert some percentage of the
shecEtses that go for railroad coal and automo-
bic gasoline to Race investments or to the
founding of Negro business enterprises. We
overheard one compile say they had saved up
500 rocks to meet with their ~fraternal order
200 miles away; while another BROTHER
was working three shifts a day to get the
first payment on his Cadillac, so he could
motor to the convention. These two illus
trations-and they probably have a thousand
likenesscs-involved enough dough to start a
small laundry Or pay a years premium on
2bout $50 modest insurance policies of some
Race company employing Negro clerks and
agents.

camp MEETIN' TIME.

Two alleged bootleggcrs, a woman and a
man, OF Washington, D. c.. are probably fac
ing life irnprisonnent because the car in which
they w-re said to be fleeing from the police,
killed a lovable woman whose life as a nun
had been devoted to Christian service for
mankind. These alleged ~violators of the
Eighteenth Amendment were plying their
trade because it is a profitable one. 1t is
profitable because the whiskey taste is still
very keen in the mouths of many of Americas
citizens, who do not believe in the sacrednesS
of the Eighteenth Amendment any more than
do many others of Americas "Best" believe
in the sacredness of the Fourteenth and Fiji.
teenth Amendments to say nothing of the due
process of law" clause with which the Con-
~stitution fairly rings.
The alleged bootleggers were fleeing from
the law because the law is vigorously enforc-
ing the Eighteenth Amendment at every op-
portunity, while the same law winks and
blinks at enforcement of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments. The law winks and
blinks at the enforcement of those portions
of itself which, in words. purport to give full
rights and protection to the Negro people,
because a certain large portion of Americas
population thinks that those portions of the
law are TOO favorable to colored people; and,
hence, too degrading to merit national respect.
The Eighteenth Amendment, though, in their
opinion, is for everybody save those higher
ups who are able to influence certain weak
colored people to ply the trade of bootlegging.
These causes and effects show the gigantic
inconsistency of a large sector of Americas
public opinion, which it must be admitted is
the proxinlate cause of the vigorous enforce
1nent of the Eighteenth Amendment and the
non-enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fiji
teerth in sections where State laws pervert
Congressional intention.
When shall America awaken from such a
grave inconsistency? When will American
people sly. as said John Philip Hill, Maryland
Congressman: 81 believe in enforcing all the
Constitution? Until then, what must ma
tons of the world think of those increnents
of our country who blow hot and cold with
the same breath? Until then, sad but not
strange, death and misery will follow in the
wake Of the law, which cannot so divide its
work, the mandate of the people, and expect
success. The same public opinion which pro-
claims q hero will, in ten seconds, direct a
mob; and, as the Good Book says, a man
cannot serve two masters. Neither can the
law. when those two masters have twin souls,
the same, but different purposes.

Editor William Monroe Trotter has
been In accord with Hon. Charles G.
Dawes. for the reason that filibusters
by Southern Senator's have blocked
and defeated much legislation, which
would have been highly essential IN
the securing oi constitutional rights
and privileges for the citizen of col
or. We had better express it in Mr..
Trotter's own language. He says;
~
Imagine me Races amazement
when reading IN the newspapers that

chester N. H. you cited the argu-
mrent of these Southern Democratic
Senators that the present ru'es had
prevented the passage of such meas
ures as the Lodge bin for Federal

same Dyer anti-lynch:ng bill and then
agreed that the present rules should
be retained for all measures when
the white South. as represented IN
the Senate he'd to be contrary to
their view Of State rights.
Mr.. Trotter concludes with the
following drastic remarks:
III you nave DCCh COlAOSlAN hNPOAN

rights to coIored citizens in the South
or even protection from lynchings'
We simply remark that another dol
of the colored people has been shat
tered. This southern propaganda fos-
tered by the Negro-haters and their
sy~mpath;zers is practically irres st
ible in dealing with the white North
and South. The only practical anti
