EDITORIAL PAGE

The value of advertising by
churches is being demonstrated
by the churches of the dominant
group. 1t was never more ap-
parent than by glancing over the
columns of the daily press last
Saturday. before Easter. Our
churches seem contented to 60
along in the old way of broad
casting their announcements
from the pulpit. and expecting
their race papers to devote space
gratis. and with few exceptions
the ministers do not think they
should even subscribe for a race
paper. The press and ministry
cooperating, could be powerful
factors for good. but a venal press
and a licentious ministry are
the bane of any community. It
is to be hoped that the new
ministry" who are coming on the
scene will realize that religion is
a going concern, and should not
depend on the gratuities of the
press to put its messages over.
We are in receipt of the 18th
annual report of the N.A.A.C.P.
and quote from the foreword:-
"The record of the year 1927
has again demonstrated chat the
N.A.A.C.P. is the only organiza-
tion of national scope effective on
a national scale in it's efforts to
secure, reafirm, and safeguard
fundamental citizenship rights of
the American Negro. 1t is the

relative to starting a bank. No
doubt many of our people have
oeen approached by the different
promoters. who have tried to i'm
press you with the merits of their
particular system over the other
iei'ows. etc. Now, there is no

we believe there is room for ONE

the situation. But it must ba

spite the hue and cry raised over
the middle western farmer and his
difficulties, he is more prosperous
now than at any time since the
war, f. Edison White. president of
Armour & Co, said yesterday. He
was addressing the National Live

Political Move
Politicians, he said, are behind
the movement to make the farmer
appear in financial difficulties.
What the middle west should do,
Mr. White advised, was put our
heels on the necks OF the calamity
howlers."
Figures were presented to show
that the average annual income of
the middle western farmer is above
the average for American farmers.
The average income in Nebraska is
5000 he said in South Dakota
$3.50: in Iowa s4.1S0. and in Kan
sas s3.0o0. while the national farmer
income average is $3.50.
