Opportunity

"Who says opportunity knocks but
once lies" Somebody said it. And
it's true. The more the world pro-
crosses, the more room there is for
progress.
For instance, the advent of the
automobile did not fill the field and
kill opportunity. On the contrary,
it developed avenues hitherto I'M
thought of. 1t gave opportunity to
young men, not only in that line,
but in many other lines of gas COM
bustion power. The more automo-
biles, the more time saved. For
every hour of time saved there was
more time to be spent in other use
full pursuits. or in the same line.
The result has been more business,
more money, more-opportunity.
Ii is so all along the line. Every
time the world jumps forward, new
field is opened. Every time a new
field is opened opportunity-yOur
opportunity-has knocked again.
You just keep ears and eyes and
brains open. And hold your energy
ready and poised for the leap. You
will be surprised to see one day that
just the chance you have planned
and worked forward to has coime.

Welcome Masons

Smiling Seattle" will be host next
week to the 25th annual grand
lodge of Masons of Washington and
Jurisdiction and the annual session
of the Order of Eastern Star. The
Masonic order is today among Ne
groes regarded and conceded to be
the most outstanding fraternal or
ganization in the world. The rapid
rise of the order in finances, num-
erical strength and character of its
program has compelled this recogni-
ton
Seattle is glad to welcome such
an organization into its municipal
confines, not because of its physical
resources, per Sc, but because of
the type and character of work the
order has done and is still doing,
not only for its own members but
for the entire colored race and So
cial unit.
In holding their twenty-fifth SEES
sion in Smiling Seattle" the Masons
and Eastern Stars are meeting in the
fastest growing city in the United
States; city of wonderful posi-
bilities and potentialities; munich
pality destined to become the lead
ing port of the nation; city already
the Industrial centre of the Pacific
Northwest; a city that affords de-
cent and profitable employment to
members of the colored race; city
possessing a fine type of citizenry,
with the largest Negro population of
any city in the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle is not a perfect city, by
any means. and we lay no claims
to such unique distinction, but The
Enterprise holds that no city in the
United States affords our racial
group a better opportunity for de-
velopment, growth and expansion
along all lines than does Smiling
Seattle" the Queen City of America,
where rail, steamship and air lines
meet.
Smiling Seattle" extends hearty
and cordial welcome to the represen-
tatives and visitors in our city in
attendance upon the annual grand
sessions of the Colored Masons and
Order of Eastern Star and we shall
do our best to make your stay in our
city both pleasant and profitable
throughout the week.

Evil Minds

We have among us those who
bite the feeding hand, who mistrust
their own benefactors, those who
create imaginary enemies and mag
Nifty their woes, those who miscop-
strue every honest motive intended
to benefit them. They are the evil
minded who are so we'll known by
the members of our race.
The race of American black peo-
pie is infested with those people
who have distorted minds; they are
easily offended and they go around
looking for the weakness in every
thing and fail to see its potential
ties. These people positively and
absolutely are unwilling to think
straight for that reason, if for none
other. 1t is extremely difficult to
cement the great cleavage that keeps
us separated upon those matters
which affect us so vitality. Honest
difference of opinion can be con-
demned by no man, but the consti-
tutional disgruntled, the. distrusting
and suspicious type is one of the
greatest liabilities of our people.
The "evil minde'eness" of our peo-
pie has caused more business to fail,
has dulled the ardor of more ambi-
tions, has stilled the spirit of more
institutions and men among us than
any other force that we can esti-
mate. Evil mindedness caused sue
cessful bank to fail among us a few
years ago; it also caused a bright,
young minister to take off his SOM
Der robes and desert the church; il
has poisoned the minds of many OF
us against our own.
Many able members of the black
race cloister and sequester them
selves from their own people be-
cause of this regrettable state of af-
fairs.
When we find a man who is "cold
on the race question" and uncon-
cernel about the conditions of his
people upon getting into his conf
dence it will be discovered that
somewhere in his life he has been
victimized by the evil-minded.
II the massmind is evil and dis
trusting then the unification of
forces and ideals is made impossible
and those metaphysicians of ours
who wish straight thinking and
mass action had better begin to
work on the minds of our people.
When our minds are made to func-
ton correctly our actions will count
for more. At the present time our
"evil mindedness" is vitiating all eff.
forts toward solidarity and cohesion.

From Owen Smaulding

To The Enterprise:
The American Giants, world color
ed champions, are speeding on their
way from Memphis to Kansas City.
After breaking even in the two series
with Memphis and Birmingham, the
team is in fair condition and best of
spirit.
We left Birmingham at IL 30 last
night, went to bed, woke up in the
western part of Tennessee. As soon
as; the fellows had finished a spe-
cially prepared breakfast, returned
to their sleeper to play cards. This
is the principle way the boys spend
their time on these long jumps. Of
course, there are a few who are not
playing cards; some are reading,
others discussing baseball, the rest
lounging around on the seats.
j am writing this article as the
train flies, through the western part
of Tennessee. am now looking
upon a new country. Great fields
are spreading out before me with
great masses of colored people toll
ing in them. These people seem to
be in the best Of spirit, and as the
train rushes by they yell, waving
their hands. As look at them, ]
am inclined to believe that they are
happier than those who work in the
cities.

certainly run into some hard luck.

baseman, is out with fractured

L. s. Football Candidates Fall
Victim TO Strange Malady

Physicians are in disagreement as
to the cause OF Il skin infection
which has affected several members
of the New Britain High school
squad In the past two weeks DR..
Frank Zwick is of the opinion that
the infection is caused by a germ in
the ground at the practice field in
Willow Brook park and DR. Joseph
Potts, whose son is one of the team
members affected. believes that a
plant similar TO poison ivy is the
cause of the skin disease.
Will Watch Developments
In meeting this morning be-
tween Clyde Ellingwood. park SUI
perintendent. and Coach George NJ.
Cassidy of the High school team. ii
was decided to let the matter carry
on for a week and 10 watch develop
ments. During this time it is the
intention of the high school coach
to take care OF the boys, physically,
by the use of disinfectant before and
after practice.
The boys who are known to be
the victims OF the disease are Joseph
Potts. Frank Casal~, Stanley Par.
tyka, John ScZmanski and Gunnard
Nelson. Other boys have shown
signs of the disease but precautions
will be taken in their cases, the
coach said.
When questioned about the mat
ter Mr.. Ellingwood said he had not
heard about it previously but he was
OF the opinion that If there is an in
lection in the park he could not see
why it was that the men employed
there by the park department were
not troubled.
Cassidy Cites Cuts On Hand
Coach Cassidy contends that the
infection comes about only after
the players had received cuts on
their hands, but Mr.. Ellingwoo said
his men have cut their hands on
without any infection.
A peculiar sidelight on the matter
is that Stanley Partyka's hands
failed to respond to the plant dis
ease treatment OF DIR. Potts. but he
seemed to be recovering from the
treatment of DIR. Zwick, who is the
exponent of the soil germ theory.
On the other hand Joseph Bogdan-
ski, who was troubled few weeks
ago, responded to treatment of DIR.
Potts who applied medicine similar
to that used for poison ivy, and was
cured entirely. Joseph Potts is also
recovering after treatment his
father gave him.
