Just Plain Bunk

A Seattle reader sends us what is
purported to be a "letter from the
Savior" 1t contains an injunction
that it should be published" to the
world by whoever found it and de-
clares misfortune and bad luck would
follow the person having possession
of it in the event that it is not given
publicity.
According to the history of the let
ter, it was written by Christ just af-
ter the crucifixion, signed by the
Angel Gabriel 80 years after the
Savior's birth and deposited by him
under a stone at the foot of the
cross.
Our correspondent sends The En-
terprise this letter to be published
declaring that her failure to have it
printed previously accounts for the
fact that her husband lost lucrative
position he held for many years.
The Enterprise is not publishing
the letter. There is already too
much ignorance and superstition in
the world without our adding any
thing to it.
Moral, social and economic law are
as real, as binding and as discover.
able as a chemical formula or the
multiplication table.
If the husband of our correspon.
dent lost his job, it was because of
his own inefficiency, the short tenn
per or short sightedness of his en-
ployer, a temporary or permanent
business depression.
No wise worker who loses a job
nowadays blames it on his luck. If
the fault is with him, he will never
be able to succeed no matter how
long he may hold down a job. If the
fault is not his, he has only to keep
trying until he finds the employer
who appreciates and can make use
of his gifts.
What world this would be if our
success in it depended on luck or on
publishing some ridiculous "chain let
ter" rather than hard work. clear
thinking, honesty, enthusiasm, and
willingness to sacrifice something for
the common good. "Chain letters"
and "chain prayers" are just plain
bunk.

A Southern Sambo

When Clifton Richardson, editor
of the Houston Informer, scored and
reviled one w. L. Davis, acting prin-
cipal of one of the schools in Texas,
for defending the unsavory condi-
tions of that school Davis sued the ed
tor and has been awarded a judg-
ment Of seven hundred and fifty dol
lars. Davis brot his suit in the Texas
courts and tried it before a jury of
white Texans. Davis is said to be a
tool of these bourbon southerners
cnd is best described in ordinary pre-
vailing vernacular as an "Uncle
Tom"
His victory is to be expected but It
should not be allowed to set any
precedent because the rapidly rising
press of the black people will be
muzzled and emasculated if these
"pussilanimous pussyfooting" char
acters are permitted to whisper their
honied words into the ears of the
southern white folk. Whenever the
legal machinery of the south is set
in motion we are in for trouble un-
less the higher courts of the land are
appealed to. Richardson should be
supported by the N. A. A. C. p. in
his fight for Justice and his case is
Just as important as the recent Nixon
white primary" Texas law. This case
should summon up all of the power
full resources of the press and the
public. The time has arrived in the
history of our development when
schemers, tablebearers and traitors,
should be excoriated and exposed.
This is no time for the perpetuation
of venal political bootlickers like Da-
Wis. Richardson should net be forced
to carry the cross alone. The in
tegrity of the press and its indepen-
dence should not be hampered by the
chicanery and duplicity of southern
"Sambo- Gambians."

Get the Money

Education, culture and refinement
are wonderful assets. They are es-
sential to a well rounded life. But
without money education. culture
and refinement are almost impossi-
BILE. If, therefore, you desire the
finer things of life, get money and
all things will be added unto you.
Money is not the greatest thing in
the world but it puts you in a posi-
tion TO obtain those higher attributes.
We have been acquiring education,
but because we lack a strong econo-
mical foundation we lose many of
the advantages that our education
would otherwise give. The most high
ly developed brain in the world am
cunts to nothing unless it is put to
work for the advancement of civiliza-
ton. A trained mind may be able
to work in a starved body but such
cases are exceedingly rare. In order
for the Negro to do his best work he
must first get money. Many noble
and worthy enterprises founded by
colored people have wavered and fail
ed because of insufficient capital. Let
folks call us gross materialists or any
other such names, but let us get the
money
Money rules the world. If colored
people are to take any effective part
in its control they must store up
some treasures here on earth. There
ere thousands of sprouting Negro
business institutions that need care
full and constant watching to make
them bulwarks of financial strength
in the near future. II will require
sacrifice and hard work to develop
them into paying propositions. But
unless we do assist them with our pa
tronage they will dry M and die. We
need money. We must get money.
Some people may condemn you but
after you get II they will respect you.
Get the money!

Definite Information

If you rub elbows with the world
you cannot but notice the lack of
specific fitness in most people for the
work at hand. In this world the aver
age mortal learns to do but one thing
professionally well. If versatile he
may learn two, three or several. But
the first and vital thing is to learn
that one thing well.
In this community this lack of ap-
plication is noticeable. Young men
want to manage business when they
haven't vet become comsetent clerks.
Cartoonists bring in drawings with
retulant eagerness when they haven't
had a days schooling in technique.
Every man who can write letter
thinks he is especially trained to
write for a newsnaper. The clerk
down in the City Hall prescribes for
YOUR haalth And the corner police
man fixes the Correct" policy for
your institution.
In short, these people are not con-
filming themselves to definite infor-
ration about some fixed subject.
They are Just ambling along through
life with hazv maze of generali-
ties. But that doesn't get you or the
world anywhere.
Whit this day demands is red-hct,
iam-un. definite and authoritative in
formation served without loss of time
or waste of energy. If YOU can't do
that you're not trained in your chcs-
en- line. and until Won do it you'll
never be recognized therein.

Free Health Lectures


DR.. f. L. Swick, of Hollywood,
Calf, has been induced by the
"Will Do" Club of Mt. Zion Baptist
church to give series of free health
lectures for one week in the church
beginning Sunday night. These lee
lures are of the highest order, ex-
planning the cause of disease and
how to overcome it by natural meth
DDS. There are many residing in this
city who have heard the Doctors
wonderful lectures and have been en-
tirely cured by following the advice
that has been given in these address
ses. They are net of the ordinary
stereotype character, but are the pro-
duct of 25 years of office practice.
DIR. Swick follows no man or school
but is purely original. clear, logical
and convincing. His wonderful per-
sonality which he has builded thru
his own system is testimony as to
the value of his theory and teachings.
His wife is equally as marvellous and
strong in character. She recently
underwent 42-day fast. The Los
Angeles Examiner published her pho
tograph and a report on the front
page of its evening edition. She will
also be present and discuss fasting
in on exceptionally interesting and
vital manner as we'll as answer any
question that may be asked her from
the audience.
The Doctor is the author of a num-
Der of books which have received
the approval of practically every
person who has ever purchased or
read any of them. His volume on
the "Subconscious Mind" is said by
the editor of Reason" in recent
issue: 81 consider it the most mar
velous work that has ever come from
the press His latest work, "The
Drugless Family Physician" which he
has just completed, consists of two
volumes. Another is entitled "Scien-
tific Cooking" and the latest one is
'The Kew to Health" These books
contain the most advanced ideas con-
corning disease and how to overcome
It. The theory that the Doctor has
md is now for the first time put
ling into print that he might reach a
larger multitude of people, is of
great service to suffering humanity.

Negro History
The Negro in Business

The economic progress of the Me-
gro is unprecedented in the history
of the world. Starting almost with
out anything in 1865, the Negro has
today to his credit property valued
at more than a billion dollars. Most
of this wealth is in the form of farm
acreage and comfortable homes. The
race has made exceptional progress,
however, in manufacturing, banking
and insurance. AS pioneers in de-
veloping such businesses among Ne
groes there stand out prominently
such persons as Isaiah T. Montgom-
cry, John Merrick, Mrs. A.. +. Ma
lone, Madam c. J. Walker, Samuel

Don't Trouble

There's a saying old and rusty,
But as good as any new,
IT'S "Never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you"
Don't you borrow sorrow;
You'll surely have your share.
He who dreams of sorrow
Will find that sorrows there.
If care you've got to carry,
Wait till tits at the door,
For he who runs to meet it
Takes up the load before.
If minding will not mend it,
Then better not to mind.
The best thing is to end it;
Just leave it all behind.
Then don't you trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
You'll only double trouble
And trouble others, too.
