In a speech in New York City, on
April %, 1920. reviewing the work
done by his Food Administration, Mr.
Hoover said:
THE Grain Corporation was sue
cessfully managed by Mr.. Barnes. In
1917 the wheat price was S2.2O per
bushel. The farmers could have OBJ
tanned IS per bushel."
The quotation. from the Republican
New York Tribune, proves conclusive
ly that Hoover restricted the price OF
wheat, while other prices were permit
ted to go sky high.

Tribute to a Black Hero

address of Mayor Walker, N. Y,
at official reception to Lionel Licor-
ish, Vestris Hero.)
when you left that ship and
reached out your hands to save some
one else's life, il is fair and reason
able to suppose that no one asked you
what race you belong to--no one
asked you where you were born, and
no one was interested in your color.
They were mighty glad to have your
arms around them, and they were
mighty glad to accept the assistance
you brought them.
"That was all right out there in
the raging waters. That was fine
when the ship was going down. But
l am rather inclined to believe that
if we did a little more. while the
ship was sailing safely, along the
same line, il we had the same will
ingness to accept assistance and the
same absence of discrimination, even
this would be. a greater country than
it is today"
Nathan Strauss said that as n
young man ''the ambition of my life
was to save one life--if l could save
one life / would be hero; and / was
more anxious to see this boy here
than almost any other person on the
face of the earth, because of what
he did,"

Bouquet From a
Newspaper

That was very fine peace ges-
ture made by the editor of The Star
toward The Times charity fund. 1t
is generally accepted that the other
three Seattle daily newspapers are
unfriendly toward each other. While
there used to be some bitterness ex-
hibited among them, guess it was
really the exterior attitude, for at
least the fellows who make these
papers great are able men - they
have to be. And say It with pleas
ure that our Seattle newspapers
compare favorably with those of any
city in the West. Sometimes one or
the other of them gets wrong on
some issue but generally they are
as big and progressive as the mag
nificent city in which they live and
prosper. OF course The Daily Wire
less is always friendly toward all
other newspapers from The Daily
Times down to the very good news
paper of my Colored Brother Wilson,

dali in The Daily Wireless.

"A Unique VIII"


The village wit spoke wisely when

longs for death in her family in or
der that she can show the neighbors
what a first-class funeral should
be-"
Miss Marion Reed, one of the VIC
tins of the vestris disaster, pro-
vided In her will, 81 wish a burial

understood the urge which most rel
atIves have of mortgaging their fu-

surance money on a "big" funeral

only unique but wise.

Civilization demands that the
dead be properly buried. That is

among a large class Of people that

How We Can Break In

A committee of prominent colored
citizens Of New York City recently
waited upon director of one of the
great Broadway department stores,
asking that qualified colored boys
and girls be given equal employment
In the store. They pointed out the
thousands of colored persons in the
great city and detailed to the direc-
tor the large amount of money spent
In his store by the race. The COM
mittee was able to prove that the
eolored householder spent more mon
ey for household furnishings and for
the commodities, for the groceries
and utensils of the kitchen and pam
try than any population of like
economic status in New York. They
related to the director the discrimin-
alton practiced against colored. buy
ers in downtown department stores,
saying frankly that many stores pre-
ferred not to have their patronage
and support. As consequence this
colored committee composed of min
listers and social workers offered to
guarantee TO the director of the pop
ular department store the patronage
OF all Harlem If the department store
would employ colored youth on an
equal basis
The director after listening pa
tiently, gave to the committee the
crux of the situation as it affects
colored people seeking better employ
ment. He gave to them what seems
to US the solution of the commercial,
industrial and in large measure, So
cial problem of the race. He said:
"You have many wealthy men and
women Of your race in New York
City who can afford to subscribe
thousand dollars in the stock of this
corporation. If you will secure as
many as fifty holders who viii pur-
chase in the aggregate one hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars
worth of "X" company stock, we will
place a representative of that group
on our board of directors. He will
then be able to fight your problems,
not with sentiment, but with dollars
back of him and guarantee you that
he will be able, through the Board
of Directors to place more colored
boys and girls in our employ than
you will be able to find qualified
and ambitious to fill the places"
II the eolored people of this coun-
try will buy stock and share in the
operation of the railroads of the ma
ton, they will be able to wipe out
the "Jim- Crow cars of Dixie almost
overnight. II the colored people of
the country win buy shares in the
great hotel systems of the North and
South, they will find that at the same
time they will have opened the door
to equal accommodations for the col
ored tourist seeking hotel accommo-
dations. If colored people viii pool
a few million dollars and lay firm
hold upon the great industrial enter
prises Of the nation they will be able
to place colored men and women,
boys and girls in all of the great man.
ufacturing plants and in the depart
ments of big industries without any
question as to their color. There will
be only one question-that of fitness.
This is the way we colored Americans
