1910 Says Adieu
By e. II. Holmes

1910, grown old and weary,
staggers to exit of its allotted
time, pauses to look back upon
one of the most historical years
of modern times. 1t saw in it's
wake death and destruction; mis-
cry and woe. Governments top
pied, kings, queens and rulers de-
posed. A war machine more pow
erful than the mind of man con-
jures; a precedent of $50 years
in the powerful u. S. A. smashed
that two terms in the presidency
was enough for incumbent; Con-
gress in session continuously since
January, longest on record.
1910 reflected upon some good
done; some lasting results of man.
kind; smiled pleasantly in retro
spect and satisfaction at remem-
brance of promises from rulers and
statesmen; of a larger share in
government and distribution OF
wealth and good things of life.
In a newly constructed world
after the nightmare, an aftermath
of war has gone. Sensed by g
Roosevelt, F. d. r., who com.
menced to set his country's house
in order, 8 years ago for the i'm.
pending change. Old 1910 YEARLY
wendell his way onward joining
the ages, leaving upon pages Of
history an impression that can new
er be erased. Nothing lost bu'
somthing gained. Everything hap
pens for the best as the fatalis
figures out the scheme of things
Here comes a youthful stranger

full of promise. Let's greet hin
with Happy New Year! Let's es

and happier days.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Sir:
must tell you how pleased
ma with the article 1.-THE President
has spoken" 1t is such relief from
the almost always cry baby articles
in our colored publications. And
should be an inspiration and exam
pie to some of the ambitious
scribes who are setting such a bad
example for the young Negroes of
America by always calling their
attention to the bad things instead
of the good things about the coun-
try. We all know this is the best
country on earth and we should
be willing and anxious to fight
and die for. Let's do something
to prove that we are worthy to be
called 1909 American Citizens.
Let's stop calling to the white
man and God to take us by the
hand and lead us around like bab-
les. Let's stop hollering about
what Crispus Attacks did ITO years
ago, and tell our young Negroes
to wake up for this is our last
chance.
1t makes no difference which
way this war ends: if the Negroes
fail to play an important part in it,
we are lost.
think all young Negroes with
a high school or college education
should go in droves and offer their
services to the government for the
air force, and if this Government
turns you down, apply to the Bri-
fish Government anyway do
something and quit worrying God.
He has done enough for you.

Wash. Nut. Saw. Bank Shares S645,OOO Int.

Ever since Washington Mutual
Savings Bank was founded, over
81 years ago, its depositors have
shared every six months in inter-
est for them by the bank, with the
bank now grown to be the biggest
mutual savings institution in the
West. AS the old year closed,
trustees of Washington Mutual
authorized payment of $645, 900 in
interest to depositors, earned for
them in the 6 months since June
30, 1910. This brought to $780,
900 the interest credited to depos-
itors' accounts for the full year.
In a letter to depositors dated
January 2, Dietrich Schnaitz.

positors held over 661a million

the true m-American claims that
the Negro press and welfare or

eight years.
If my memory serves me right
somewhere in the scripture wo-
man and man We're struck dead for
lying. I am just foolish enough to
believe that the same punishment

thosse of us who solemnly swear to
be true, knowing at the same time
that we are lying. Now then, the
Negroes only hope and prayer at
this time, Is for the Father of all
mankind to defend those of us who
have been faithful and true in liv-
ing a life of humility and love, for
all mankind. With the consent of
the heads of the government that
this democracy of the United
States is o. K. and that discri-
mination, lynching, numbering, and
burning of Negroes to death shall
remain part of this great social
ed democracy.
The Negroes only refuge is God.

you are taking not of just what is
happening in Europe to those
countries who for centuries have
robbed, cheated, enslaved, and muir
dered. Their business grew so big,
that the little countries were sold
down the river, body and soul. But
wait minute, it seems that God is
presenting his claim for the por-
ton that belongs to him, and when
Hitler, the man that God has given
more power, than the earth has
ever seen, may be sent to America
to straighten out those of us who
have put our hope and trust in
earthly goods, that fail and die.
Also, those who profess to be fol-
lowers of Christ and who worship
democracy that destroys his bro
