Titulescu, regarded as Rumanias

Carols regime.
With Eduard Benes of Czecho-
Slovakia, he shared direction of
the Little Entente keeping their
two countries and Yugoslavia on
an almost even keel in swirling
Balkan politics.
In August, 1896, Titulescu was

The Public Interest is Served

But the Company is also very conscious
Of the public service that is rendered through
the employment of its funds. In recent
years, for various reasons, the individual who
has accumulated savings during the course
of the year has been more and more hesitant,
or has experienced greater and greater diff
Guilty, in making his own private investment
of these savings. As result the public has
put larger amounts of savings into such insti-
tutions as life insurance companies. But these
savings are not stagnant or idle. In large
part they are turned back into the blood
stream of the national economy through
investments and loans which these institu-
tions make in accordance with the laws of
the various States.
In the past ten years, the investments and
loans of all life insurance companies in the
country have grown from approximately

Newspaper Week;
The Negro News
paper

Helena-The Anglo Saxon Press
is observing this week, dating
from October LIST to October 7th)
as Newspaper week. White daily
newspapers and their Editors are
taking retrospective view, Of
things of the past and events of
the present. Many of our group
do not know what has been the
titanic struggles of Negro News
paper. Many have gone out of
existence fighting vicious Anglo
Saxon propaganda. Many have
gone out of existence owing to
insufficient funds to operate, and
many have gone out Of existence
for lack Of proper support from
Negro Leaders. 1t is impossible
for white newspaper to give the
Negro the type of service, that he
so seriously needs. It is a rare
occurrence for a Negro preacher
to get commendable write-up in
a white paper. Hence the pastor
should be an ardent supporter o.
a Negro Newspaper. Strange, to
say there are many throughout
the land who are not subscribers
to any Negro paper. The Negroes
achievements; his struggles for
principles, his sufferings, and
many of his short comings are
told in a Negro Newspaper. If
there has ever been a time when
our group should make a weekly
investment of five or ten cents
for a Negro Newspaper it is now!
The hope Of the Negro is with
the Negro Press, which institu-
ton has so admirably fought Tor
justice and for freedom of speech.
Without a Newspaper the Negro
would be doomed in America. He
would be living in state of fear
and bondage, his spirit of optim-
ism would vanish as a vapor in
mid air, he would just as soon
as pack up and move to Africa.
Preaching the Gospel of Race
Pride, fighting against disfranch-
isement, lynching and gross in
justices that have been heaped UP
on a defenseless people is the work
Of the Negro Newspaper.
