We Are Home Owners
G. B. ALDRICH, Ed1or-Manager

The majority of the colored eiti-
zens of Tacoma are home owners
and taxpayers. This means that they
are here to stay and are building
for the future development. While
homes are available for rent in all
sections of the city and there are
no racial determinations we believe
in the ownership of our property.
Some who live in the suburbs have
little gardens and raise their own
vegetables and chickens. There is
also very little of the criminal ele-
ment among our group in this city.
Our people are peaceable and law
abiding. The few cases that come
before the court are generally acts
oftransients, not those who have per-
manent residence. There is also a
growing disposition among US to pat
ronize our own race in business. This
will enable our group to build a sure
economic foundation. The children
attend both the public and Catholic
schools. A few years back the So
cial and business life of the commu-
nifty was under control of the under
world element. During the past two
years this undesirable element has
been relegated to the background

to attract other desirable colored res.
