papers. When the Negro consumer
buys these goods he is simply be-
ing a philanthrOpist.
Philanthropy is a fine thing but
only the rich can afford it, and all
the rich Negroes in America could
be accommodated on a small ex-
cursion steamer. Most Negroes are
wage earners in the lower wage
brackets, or they are on relief.
They simply cannot afford to fill
the hand that refuses to feed them.
White people need only think
about what they are going to get
for their dollar when they spend it.
Negroes need to think in addition
about where that dollar is going
and how much of it is going to
come back to their pockets, If any.
Most Of these big concerns do
not even know that Negroes think
about these things. Even if they
did they would probably not
change their employment policies
regarding Negroes unless they lost
money thereby.
Where Negroes have made them
know it," these tough" firms have
promptly made some changes in
their employment and advertising
policies. There Is no doubt about
their wanting our patronage. In
deed, they 60 after it. The tough
er" we get, the softer they will get.
They need us as much as we need
them. ...
The more powerful the Negro
press. the more miIitantly aware
the Negro consumers become and
the more money unfair firms stand
to lose. Neither Bauer and Black
or any other company can tolerate
thirteen million dissatisfied con-
sumers.
Only through the militant Me-
gro newspapers, can Negro con-
sumers be made aware Of this rank
discrimination and mobilize to
fight it. These white firms know
this very well. That is why so
many of them are reluctant to
strengthen the Negro press with
increased advertising revenue.

Real Leadership
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

Real leaders are God inspired.
They never have to worry how
their aims will be acquired.
For they are the instrument thru
which God works,
And know that false opposition. al
ways shirks. . -.
All good leaders had opposition to
meet,
Because Of the false prophets in
the street.
Jesus, the best man on earth, was
turned down cold
By doubling Thomas who can't
ever be told.
All real leaders have been tempo
arily discouraged, -.~
But they did not stay so long,
For they know the victory belongs
to those
Whose faith in right is strong.
Unless we are God inspired it's
folly to try and lead,
For the skeptical masses will not
heed
A leader whose confidence won't
allow them to follow
Those whose aims and reputation
are not solid but hollow.
So when we feel the urge Of lead
ership,
God will show US in His unmistak-
able way
So you won't have to be led astray
By selling out your brother the
filthy lucre way.

New Year National
Defsnse Needs

Getting the skilled men needed for
national defense jobs continues to be
one Of the greatest problems of the
aew year for the Civil Service Com
mission. Thousands were appointed
during 1910 but thousands more are
going to be needed during the coming
year at the arsenalS and navy yards
and In the air service. TOOlmakers,
instrument makers, and machinists
are especially in demand, and they
are especially necessary to the nation
al defense program. Among others also
urgently needed are: Aircraft instru-
ment mechanics: aircraft mechanics;
metalsmiths (aviatiOn) cOppersmiths
aens grinders; lOftsmen; ordnance
men (torpedoes) shipfftbers; and
ironworkers (shipfitting duty. II you

Annual Wage
Statements Required

Employers who have not issued wage
statements to their workers who are
covered by the social security act, Gov
ering earnings for the year 1910, must
issue such Statements now covering
earnings Of such individuals for the l.
months just ended.
This statement was made today by
Charles l.. Hickey, manager fthe So
cial Security Board field office in
Dearborn Mr.. Hickey cited the follow
ing passage in the internal revenue
code. as amended August, 1899, TO
show the duty that is required of en-
plOyers of persons who are covered
under the old age and survivors inSur-
ance system. The citation follows:
Every employer shall furnish TO
each of his employees a written state
ment or statements, in forum suitable
for retention by the employees, show
ing the wages paid by him to the EN-
plOye after December 81, 1899. Each
statement shall cover calendar year,
or one, two. three or four calendar
quarters, whether or not within the
same calendar year, and shall show
the name of the employer. the name OF
the emplOye, the period covered by
the statement, the total amount or
wages paid within such period, and
the amount of the tax imposed by Sec
ton 400 with respect to such wages"
Commenting on the meaning Of this
provision Mr.. Hickey said. Where
statements have been issued regularly,
in the manner prescribed by the act,
an annual statement, which is called
q receipt for wages need not be is
sued. Where mo written statement has
been furnished heretofore, an annual
statement is required for all workers.
Any employer who wilfully fails or
refuses to supply such statements is
subject TO civil penalty" he added.
The law provides that these state
ments must he issued not later than
February ~, covering the year 1910
In cases where worker leaves the
service of an employer, the statement
must be given OH the day when the
employee receives his last wages.

Goats and axes

A report from the Michigan depart
ment OF conservation, quoted by the
Michigan State Digest, quasi-Official
weekly paper of the army Of state
employees and minor political bench
men, states that mountain goats posi-
lively will not thrive in this state.
The conservation department admin
listers thousands upon thousands OF
acres OF tax sold land i'm the "cut
over" area above the Bay Cty-Muske-
gOn line. 1t seems that conservation
minded" citizen felt that mountain
goats ought to be imported and raised
In this area. The Digest playfully In
quires why this citizen does not seek
TO have the federal public works agen-
cies consider a project for the erec-
ton IF synthetic mountains" so that
goats might have their chance in
Michigan.
Taxpayers generally have deep
feeling Of kinship with those mountain
goats. They have been driven to the
same peaks and crags that are the
habitat Of the goats as the ruinous
flood Of taxation has crept ever up
ward.
Michigans taxpayers. in view OF the
tremendous costs OF national defense
which they have yet to shoulder, ask
their Legislature to devote good
share Uf its attention TO the scrutiny
of every department with view to
separating the essential functions
from the BOn-essential and forever
eliminating the latter.-FrOm the
