A Little Criticism

To the Editor:
1 have been an enthusiastic reader
of your paper for a number OF years
and have found II in many respects
an admirable journal; but there are
a number of points about 1t that 1
think are open to constructive criti-
cism.
First. there Is the matter of Let
tiers TO the Editor written by your
readers. Don't you think these let
tiers should be more carefully edited
aid the trifling and trivial ones
thrown out? Some of the letters
that appear in the column are abb
solutely puerile and inconsequential.
There is but one place for a trite
and nonsensical letter and all good
editors know this to be the waste
basket.
Second, should like to call your
attention to the advertisements. II
Is an established rule nowadays
among the leading newspapers to
exercise a rigid censorship over all
doubtful advertisement Witness the
Chicago Tribune, The New York
Times and other metropolitan news
papers. Some of the advertising
carried IN your paper should be re-
jected. For instance all ADVERTISE
rnents of patent medicine for fe-
males; the ads Of different sorts OF
luckstones and charms and those
ads about pills for dubious ailments.
You well know such advertising is
fake. Why accept them Inclosed
Is money order for renewal OF my
subscription.

A Cold Message

II President Coolidge had omitted
altogether any references to Afro
Americans in his message to Con-
gress he would have rendered the
race service. His weak. colorless,
meaningless appeal for sympathy, for
the race is an affront to twelve NIL
lion black Americans, who have new
err had their case SO bungled by a
President in a formal statement.
The race does not ask maudlin SYM
pathy. II wants square deal and
equal opportunity with other citi-
zens since 1t shares with other citi-
zens equal responsibilities.
The President virtually condoned
political and social injustices as
practi;sd upon the race in America
when he pointed out that to guaran-
tee to any body of citizens the right
to "live their own lives under the
protection of the public law" did not
Include license to injure others
materially y or to violate the
established customs which have long
had the sanction of enlightened So
ciety." That Is new interpreta-
ton of American democracy, and
one which none but weak, vacil-
lating, straddling politician would
have uttered. II Is the PRESIDENTS
own way of evading an enforcement
OF anti-lynching legislation and get
ting around segregation and dis
elimination in the Federal govern
ment departments.
There are no customs having the
of enlightened society that
are higher than the organic law of
the land. and in compromising with
such customs Mr.. Coolidge is plae-
ing his executive sanction upon bi-
gotry and all the evils that flow
from IT. We have had much strong
er and more statesmanlike utter
ances from Southern Governors dur
ing recent years. II President Coo
lidge will let the race question en-
tirely alone he will render a service
far more effective to colored Ameri-
cans than will ensue from his peri
ode attempts to appease the mob
and appeal to its perverted con-
science al the same time.

Building Business

Building tan yards out OF shoe
strings and starting In business with
dime and making a. million are
now recognized as popular falIa-
lcies" True enough, some men start
with small initial capital. but as q
rule, they have million dollar ideas
and immeasurable ability and cour-
age to put their proposition over.
They find out what the public
wants, how they want II, and then
they seek to supply. Smart men
seek to create demand for their
products and when the demand Is
created. they then set about to pro-
vide the supply, and thus the price
Is regulated---a fundamental and
sound rule Of elementary economics
that few black people appreciate and
understand. The fact of this lack
OF understanding is the major cause
OF our static and sedentary business.
Most business men OF the black
race fostered and founded their af-
fairs on the proposition OF "sacri-
fetal support Of our own concerns"
in other words, they felt that a
black man in business must be sup
ported by HIS own race even IL mon
ey was lost thereby. This PROPOSE
ton is unsound and may be called
another popular fallacy." Every
race puts premium on its money
and the idea OF individual owner
ship and possession has been selfish
" guarded. Notwithstanding the phi
iosophies of Lenine and Marx. Lee
nine recognized the fact that the
people we're not going to give what
they had earned in order that 1t
could be divided among the masses.
The black race Is no different. RAJ
cial solidarity and cohesion may be
grand and noble things, but the de-
privation OF private property has not
yet been recognized as the indispens-
able element.

more money and with greater ease

pion?" Tunney said at that time.
The financial failure of the He's
ney bout was great blow to Tun-
ney's pride, and with the added
prestige and popularity the victory
over the hard rock from down I'M
der gave him. it seems logical to
presume that Tunney may engage IN
one more bout before he hangs up
the gloves that raised him from the
streets of Greenwich Village to mil
lionaire champion.
Rumors have been circulated that
the champion plans an early mar.
riage. That he will enter the priest
hood. and that he plans to accom-
pany Commander Richard Byrd or
the flight to the South Pole.
So far as can be learned from
sources close to Tunney he has no
intentions of doing any of the three.
Banking and industry seem to
have the greatest lure for the cham
pion and it is expected by his close
friends that after a year abroad he
may enter one or both Of those two
fields.
Tunney is intensely interested in
philosophy. That interest developed
before the war cut short his academ-
ic career. Now that he Is wealthy
