Women Show The Way

There IS CLINT of light in the way
$4,000 Negro housewives in Harlem
propose to start about improving our
economic situation
They estimate that they spend
millions each year for food, cloth
ing, shelter, and recreation. They
propose to organize and make those
millions of dollars create $4,000 ad-
ditional jobs for Negroes.
They do not propose to boycott
anybody. Their plan does not call
FOR bringing any pressure to bear

give any employment to eolored peo-
pie. What they propose to do is to
give organized support to stores that
do give us employment.
Pursuing this policy they are going
to concentrate their support to the
&C. NJ A." (Colored Merchants As
ISOLATION Stores) which are increas-
ing in number in Harlem. They are
also well established in number of
southern cities, most numerously in
Montgomery, Alabama.
So much educational work has
been done by Mr.. Holsey that there
are no misconceptions as to what the
C. M. A. Stores aim to do in an
economic way. The system aims to
organize the buying power of Ne
groes and convert it into jobs. When
that is done neither the source OF
our buying power nor its stability
will be so uncertain as they now are
If the women of the country
should sense the possibilities of this
movement to the extent that they
have already awakened to it in New
York, the next few years would wit
ness a vast improvement in our eco

These last figures for whites in
clude those who are native and those
born in other countries as well, so
they are a little different. You will
see that colored have increased their
batting average from 300 in 1880 to
S57 in 1880. Any team should be
proud of that.
But we have long way to go yet.
You will see that a number of our
Southern States have grown a bum
per crop of illiterates, white and
black. Remember that most of the
people who couldn't read and write
in 1880 were in school or supposed
to be in school-ten, fifteen, twenty
five years ago. Those states show us
how to grow big crops of illiterates.
Here is the recipe: Spend as little
money as you can on schools. Get
poor teachers, pay poor salaries, have
short terms, work your children on
the farms or let them loaf; don't try
to train good teachers, and let the
children go to school in rickety
shack. Mix well with the indiffer-
ence of parents, add poor supervision
and community neglect. Let this set
tie for twenty or thirty years and
you'll have guaranteed crop of
grown-up men and women who cam
not read a page from the Bible, or
write a letter to their friends.
Most of the Southern states are
doing this now for their colored chill
dren. If you don't believe me, wait
until 1910 and you'll see another
bumper crop of illiterates in Alaba-
ma and South Carolina and the rest.

Worrying You?

cook and housekeeper for seven
ty-five cents week. To make il
worse the woman of the house felt
that she was unable to pay it.
The one break these farmers have
is that they can still eat. They have
cornfield peas, salt pork and veg
etables that they have put in cans.
Winter collard greens are big help.
There is plenty of .cornbread, of
course.
One lawyer told me that he had to
take 800 bushels of corn as fee in
case and had no place to put it.
As a result of all this, the people
are unable to pay their taxes and the
counties are without operating mon
ey. Some of them have been unable
to pay the interest on short term
warrants. In several counties the
school teachers have not been paid
for nine months and have little hope
of being paid in the future. 1t will
be necessary to close many schools
The tough thing is that nobody
seems to see any way out in the
future. Cotton is selling at about
six cents a pound-the only cash
crop-and it costs more than that to
raise it. In other words The bigger
the crop the more the farmer loses.
This shortage Of money is doing
more toward stopping the whiskey
traffic than all the enforcement
officers. The boys simply can't
pay. It's an ooen secret, though,
that MANY professional men have
been paid part of their fees in
good old, golden corn that will
shoot you settin' at one hundred
yards. We were told in several
quarters that the price had come
down from eight dollars to four
dollars gallon.
Railroad business has fallen so low
in those hard-up sections hat in our
meanderings, we were on at least
three journeys where we had the
Pullman sleeper all to ourselves. And
you ought to see how those railroads
are cooperating to grab every pos
sible dime away from the buses
On account of the small traffic every
train that we were on arrived at its
destination ahead of time We even
came in to New York ten minutes
ahead of schedule.

Down there they are all intense
football bugs and the biggest prob
lem they have to solve is digging up
enough cash to see game and pay
for meals en- route.
In one town we saw Colored
team trying to rent an automobile to
take them to a game forty miles
away. They had to lay five bucks
on the line before the garage mar
would let the car start and it was 8
big laugh seeing them dig it up al
ten cents crack. They finally made
it with little outside help and the
whole team set forth in a five-pas
senger, cheap car.
Now, Fellows, just think of all
those things over and congratulate
yourselves on being lucky. Since
being back in New York for three
days your humble agent has to bust
out laughing every time he hears
anybody talking about hard times.

Has Made Fine Record; Needs
Support During Its Period
of Development

Air transportation facilities were eX-
tended to Bismarck Mandan one year
ago today, when the Northwest Air
ways inaugurated its airmail and air
transportation service between Fargo
and Bismarck.
This service has been a mark OF dis
tinction for North Dakota and With
cut question will prove an accomplish
ment of no little Importance in the
future of the state.
Northwest Always. on its first
birthday, finds that it requires the
widest possible public support and CO.
operation during the period OF its ex-
tension and development. In this re-
spect it is no different than other
services which have proved OF eventual
wide public benefit.
In his remarks on the anniversary
of the Inauguration of the service to
Bismarck, c. R. Dalrymple, division
traffic manager for Northwest Air
ways, said, ut is not as difficult on
older established routes, operating be-
tween large metropolitan and INDUS
trial centers. to maintain mall
poundage satisfactory to the govern
ment and passenger patronage that
enables the contractor to operate sue
cessfully as it is in our own agrlcul-
tural section with its comparatively

state has the acknowledged senatorial
spokesman in matters pertaining to
aviation" He referred to Senator
Gerald P. Nye, who has succeeded
Senator Hiram Bingham, of Connectl-
cut in this position
Many in the Northwest have been
hopeful that an announcement would
be possible at this time of an extern
sion of service to western Montana,
he said, that would be Of much bene-
fit over the entire route. To this END,
a Northwest congressional group un-
der the leadership of Senator Nye has
exerted every effort. Much has been
accomplished and it is still hoped that
favorable action may be had. The
fight has been one for the aviation fu-
ture of the state. If competitors on

North Dakota will suffer immeasur-
ably in the next SO years.
Dalrymple expressed hope that
many plans for extension and i'm
provement of the service, which have
been postponed or temporarily sus-
pended for various reasons, will ma
terialize eventually.
1000 Passengers Carried
Statistical figures for the full II
month period are not available at this
time but the record to April 80 dis
closes that almost 1000 passengers
were carried in and out of Bismarck
with total of 183,547 passenger miles.

total of 100 passengers, and January,
