PROVEN .UNDER FIRE1

Growth is probably the best pos
sibIe proof Of any industry's service
to the public-no industry can go
ahead and expand from small be-
ginnings to great size without sat
isfying the public, and providing
something widely desired OF needed
at a price commensurate with the
service rendered.
The stock fire insurance industry
is an excellent example. In 1856
stock fire insurance policies covered
$4,000 100000 worth OF property, and
premiums paid totaled $4,000, ,000
At the turn of the centeury, the
amount at risk had reached $19,000.-
900, ,444, and premiums $4,000, 900.
Today stock fire insurance covers an
aggregate of $4,000 ,000, 900 In prop
erty values-16 times the 1866 figure
and premiums amount to $460,000,-
900 annually.
That" said w. f. Mallalieu OF the

the acid test and rare testimonial
to our stewardship" Stock fire in

the great San Francisco fire Of 1906,
$24O. 100000 of the $4O0. 100000 loss
was covered by stock policies. The
policyholders were paid promptly,
and in full. In Chicago, Boston. At

Black Omens, which began in the

ably the most startling revelation Of
Negro activities and Negro thought,
since the articles run by Ray Stannard
Baker in one of our national magazines
twenty-five years ago.
"Black Omens," which is apparently
to be run in serial form, gives clear
er view of Negro Ideals and Idealism,
than any yet attempted in any of our
products of the press, and should for
ever silence the dun colored sages who
continually chant, "they don't know

This column goes beyond its usual
custom, when it devotes space to living
individuals, but the event is so unusual
and propitious that we feel our apol-
ogies will be accepted.
Wednesday night at the meeting OF
Baker Post American Legion, Isaac
L. Moore Jr., veteran legionaire, was
unanimously endorsed by his organi-
cation to run for district vice comman-
der.
There was something thrilling in
this particular endorsement, cemmem-
dation from legionaires all over the
state, demands from local legionaires
outside Baker Post, created an effect
that precluded any of the old opposi-
ton for which Baker Post has been
noted.
Comrade Moore is deserving. He has
earned anything and everything that
the Legion as body might see fit to
give.
AS service officer of the post, an Of
flee that calls for large expenditure
of time, and a considerable outlay of
personal funds, he made record that
is the envy and respect of service Of
ficers of every post in the city. -.
There is no reason that he should
not be elected. In fact we feel that
he WILL be elected.
In so doing, he will be the first of
Baker Post representatives to hold
such office, or gain such recognition.
There are many individuals who thank
Comrade Moore for assistance in time
of need, but Baker Post itself owes
him something.
When the Post was a struggling or
ganization without funds, and was not
so we'll known, it was necessary for
the organization to secure flags.
1t was a struggle, and much of the
success lies in the laps of Comrades
Ike Moore and Eddy Marshall. They
are two men whom Baker Post shoulc
be a long time forgetting.
