Credit

Nowadays you can get anything on
credit, from a dozen boxes of tooth
picks to carload of lumber, and from
a baby carriage to an aeroplane. But,
like all other things in life, credit has
its disadvantages, no less than its adj
vantages; for nothing is so uncertain
as the human element, and many peo-
pie, wilfully or ignorantly, abuse the
credit facilities of trade and COM
merce.
These abuses come about in one of
several ways. Some people buy un-
necessary articles, others buy neees-
sary articles, but too expensive, still
others purchase necessities and "for-
get" to pay for them.
The laboring classes, regardless of
color, benefit more than any other
group from the comparative case with
which it is possible to obtain neees-
sary articles ION time" 1t is very
important therefore, that they refrain
from abusing the credit system.
Coming right home to "my folks, :"
it Is doubly the part of wisdom for
colored credit buyers to maintain sat-
isfactory credit standards, and for
this reason A white customer who
is poor pay" is just poor pay;'
but, by some peculiar mental twist, a
colored customer who is poor piy"
is considered representative of all the
Negroes in America, from Mexico to
the Lakes, and from Maine to Cali
fornia.
The Negro in business is just begin
ming to sense the possibilities that lie
before him, and CREDIT being so
indispensable to any business, it will
never do for the idea to gain general
acceptance that the "colored broth
err is not to be trusted, that he
doesn't pay his bills, that he is UNI
worthy of credit courtesies.
If we will, and must buy S1.0O
down and $1.00 week, then let us
meet our obligations promptly ano
not have II said that we pay $i.0C
down and the rest whenever the col
lector can catch up with us.

Your eyes are bold

Your lips are sweet

That no one sells or buys.
Your breast is warm

Your voice sounds strange
Like all the winds
That sing wild jungle lays.

There's strength and joy
And God has given thee
A flame to fire
Thy soul and burn

How Many Words In The English
Ianquaqe7


A learned photographer (diction-
airy editor) has said: "No one knows
how many words there are in Ameri-
can speech or in the English Lang
uage for no one can compute them
any more than one can compute how
many grains of sand there are on the
seashore." Growth of the English
language has been greatly accelerated
by the marvellous progress in science
and invention. Webster's New In
ternational Dictionary contains 407,-
900 words and phrases. Thousands
of words in colloquial use never get
into the dictionaries. One lexicogra-
pher has had more than $4,000
words brought to his attention dur
ing the past 15 years. The vocabu-
larry of the home embraces about TO-
900 words.

Cooperation

There is altogether too much en-
phasis being placed on cooperation.
Lack of cooperation is blamed for
every failure. The truth of the mat
ter, in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred, there was nothing for any,
body to cooperate with. Every day
dreamer carries his pet scheme
around in his vest pocket. He pours
forth in incoherent language what
would happen if all the Negroes in
the United States would join in with
him. He tells you that the economic
problem would be solved and racial
injustice cease. And because all Ne
groes can not see his point or are too
busy doing their work to go along
with him with their bag and baggage,
he condemns them to the bottomless
pits of hell. As a matter of fact he
has nothing to offer and even if he
did, he is stupid for even thinking
that all Negroes, or all anything else,
will support him or his project. 1t
never has happened and the chances
are it never will.

Before there can be cooperative
success there must be individual sue
cess. Instead of begging and plead
ing with somebody to join in with
you, the better policy would be to
start doing something as an individ-
ual. And after you have succeeded
the multitude will seek you and sup
port you. History as well as con-
temporary events prove the truthful
ness of the statement, that nothing
succeeds like success. Unsuccessful
individuals will be nothing more than
unsuccessful even though they COM
bine with each other. There is no
magic in the word cooperate except
when used by public speaker to
make the mob applaud. We think too
much of what we could accomplish if
we were supported by everybody and
not enough abe ut how we can do it
in spite of everybody. Therein lies
the danger of this cooperative bus
mess. It makes of us bunch OF cry
babies waiting for someone to come
and carry us where we ought to walk
ourselves. A baby will never walk
alone so long as it depends upon TIC
cooperative help of its mothers arm
or the kitchen chair.
Successful cooperative efforts de-
pend upon successful individuals. 1t
would seem, therefore, that if there is
going to be any collective success the
individuals must go out and prove
themselves worthy of the support of
others5 And after we have a large
number of individual successes CO.
operation among them will follow as
natural sequence. All this talk
about everybody cooperating with
everybody else is just pure buncombe
As an Utopian dream it is delightful
ly pleasing but as a practical matter
well the safer plan is to accomplish
something yourself before you ask
anybody to help you.
