A Bank Failure

Memphis has another bank fail
ure. This time 1t was the Fraternal
and Solvent Bank and Trust Com
pany, Negro institution, none too
solvent In recent months, and pecu-
liarly lacking In that fraternal spirit
supposed to exist between officers
and depositors. AS a result of the
failure $1,000 Negroes lose the saw
ings of lifetime. These black
men and women are now singing
the real Memphis Blues with com
mendable earnestness on Beale
. Street in front of the defunct bank.
The officers of the bank have been
arrested, are held under twenty
five thousand dollar bonds and have
sent word to their friends not to
bail them out for the reason they
fear violence from the disappointed
patrons of the wrecked bank.
Here Is another financial debacle
in which the hard-earned savings of
hundreds of poor Negroes must go
to fatten the rascals who nave had
their confidence.
White men within recent months
wrecked the bank at Franklin,
Tenn, a bank in Jackson, Tenn,
at Springfield, Tenn, at Memphis,
Tenn, and in each case they are
now as a result of these robberies
serving terms in the penitentiary.
II will be interesting to watch the
drift of things to see If the guilty
rascals in this case can take the
money they have stolen from the
poor people and use it to escape
the merited punishment for their
crime as is generally the case when
Negroes rob Negroes.
This thing happens too often with
out any direful consequences on
those responsible for II and it is
teaching lesson both destructive
to economic morale of the Negro
and Immensely costly in other ways.
From all of the information one
is able to gather the plain, I'M
vanished truth forces itself to the
front that much of the pain and suf-
fering that will follow this failure
might have been avoided but for
the misconceived idea of race
pride" Negroes yet must learn that
there are certain inexorable princi-
pies and fair dealings that if VIC
lated will spell ruin for a Negro
concern the same as for one by the
other race
The colored man is a long time
learning his lesson. He has what
Is reasonably considered false race
pride; he is developing a habit of
graft, and has a fool notion that
ne can cover up his tracks. If more
OF them could be landed in the peni-
Tertiary for their destructive habits,
fewer crimes of the nature of the
Memphis tragedy would occur.
