SEATTLE NAACP
5O4 Peoples Bank Bldg.
Eliot OSO7

This week the membership
campaign reached 727 members
and it seems the campaign has
just now hit its stride. Some
workers blame the placards sent
out by the national office which
state that the campaign will run
through May and June. Mem
bers reading this have waited I'M
til June. But the spirit is high
and after the outstanding recent
victories by the NAACP everyone
wants to pay their share. Re-
markable also is the great in
crease of ten dollar and five dol
lar memberships. Members vol
unfairly have said: ST am in
creasing my membership this
year." With such loyalty, no
wonder the NAACP is making
such rapid strides.
A few of the workers have
been slow in getting started this
year. For instance, Mr.. George
Wood, who has always been at
the top with his reports, was i'll
during the start of the campaign,
but he is working now and is
third from the top with S8 mem
bers. Mrs. Elwilla Gilmore, that
quiet little worker who on ac-
count of illness must choose sun
ny days to work, got a head start
on everyone and is holding sec
ond place with honors, 1O2 mem
bers. Mrs. Mary Casmon with
54 members VOWS she will reach
100 "ere this campaign closes.
The Savoy Community Center,
trailing at the moment, promises
big surprise within the next
few days.

Hargrove, OK lie U.S.N. and Pfc.

such a splendid job among SER

make a lot of noise, but he is
doing a very good job, as well as
all others. Mrs. Yarbrough is

PRENTIS |. FRAZIER, REAL REPUBLICAN
Talks About the State Public Service Department
BY PRENTIs l. FRAZIER

My committee had no personal
experience regarding employment
with the Public Service Depart
ment of the State of Washington.
The reason for this was that the
other departments mentioned pre-
viously in this series of articles
were so imbued with the spirit
of Cincinnatus that we thought
it useless to talk to Mr.. Hamley
since he too was appointed by
Mr.. Langlie. After our expert
ence with other Langlie appoint
ees we knew there was no need
of our consulting the Public Ser
vice Department for any consid-
Grafton for our group.
Mr.. Hamley was at one time a
member of the city council. Mr..
Hamley having been elected on
the Cincinnatus ticket, shielded
himself as a good government
administrator. The lack of in
terest shown to our group while
a member of the city council fur
Their convinced us of what we
would have received from the
hands of the Public Service Di-
rector.
Mr.. Hamley retired and was
succeeded by Charles F. Schaef-
fer, a man of the same class as
Hamley. Schaeffer, as director
of Public Service, offered no i'm.
provement in the department
and hence no inducement to III
to seek consideration from him
And our attitude was founded OF
sound judgment. For instance

EMBREE WARNS THAT WHITES MUST
LIBERALIzE THEIR RACIAL PHILOSOPHY

CLEVELAND, Ohio - If the
white man is to escape possible
domination by colored peoples, he
will have to revamp his attitude
and liberalize his racial views,
Edwin H. Embree of Chicago,
president of the julius Rosen-
valid Foundation, warned the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work
recently.
Mr.. Embree said that whites of
Western Europe and North Anne
RIGA have ruled the world for 800
years, due to their development
of tie technology and science, but
pointed out that the Western ma
tions have weakened themselves
almost suicidally in the First and
Second World Wars, causing a
radical shift in the balance of
power.
Last Chance for White Man
The noted educator warned
that the western world white man
is being offered his last chance
for equal status in world society
asserting that 'if he accepts
equality he can hold a self-re-
speeding, maybe a leading, place
in the new order. But If the
western white man persists in
trying to run the show, in ex-
plotting the whole earth, in treat
ing the hundreds of millions OF
his neighbors as interiors, then
the fresh might of the 100000
non-white, non-western people
may, in surging rebellion, smash
him into nonentity."
Mr.. Embree cited the rise of
Negroes from slavery to place
of competence and self-reliance in
three generations and said Ne
gro literacy. 80 per cent today
as mere per cent in Emanci-
patton days, is well above that
of the white populations of any
but few favored nations.

arose. Facing his honor he stated
he had not received a fair trial;
that despite the fact he had of
fered conclusive proof that he
was 1900 miles away at the time
of the alleged sale as testified
to by the witness, no considera-
ton was given him; that he APP
preciated the defense of his at

do and accordingly dismissed
him. Someday l will have served
my sentence; as for those witness
ses who testified to a falsehood in
order to secure his conviction,
they would never be able to again
secure a conviction by false tes-
timony.
A Tolerant Judge
There stood the defendant,
black man though he was, not in
defiance, but boldly stating his
reaction to the testimony of wit
nesses and the decision of the
jury. And he finished his story,
to startled spectators and to his
honor.
Judge Black heard him
through. His long experience on
the bench, his varied knowledge
of philosophers, the changing
world, a race bordered by
circle of intolerance, tempered
mercy with justice.
The defendant left the scene
without additional punishment

PENDANT been Il white man, en-
joying the four freedoms, the
scene would probably have been
more colorful. White America
could well afford to liberalize
its racial philosophy.

Paper salvage collections in the
District during the first half of 1914
have exceeded the quota by 3,434,0O0
pounds, Charles A. Appleby, vice
chairman of the District Salvage
Committee, announced yesterday.
From January through June a
total of 78,434,809 pounds of waste
paper have been collected. The
quota set by the War Production
Board for Washington was 75,000,-
600 pounds.
Salvage officials expressed salts
faction at results of the drive to
date, but pointed out that Is per
cent of available waste paper here
still was not being collected. Lack
of complete cooperation by resi-
dents and business concerns was
blamed for the Is per cent loss.
Washingtonians were reminded
that collections are made in the
