He is not only being taught to thini. fin- ni: -elf but to create, develope and exchange ideas with his fellow man. Hence many hands are join ed together in the cultivation of a spirit of mutual help ful .vhich strengthens community relationships. Mr. Belt. President of the Bell Telephone Co., as v oil s all of the officials are to be commended for the con.-)', ration given the Unemployed Married Men’s Coun cii 1 ?::*• ase of their building at 24th and Lake Streets for the winter activities. This building will possibly serve many who are in desperate need and prevent starvation of the less un fortunate. . Lennox Writes 2nd Letter to Utilities District... Dr (t. B.

I am wondering if you would consider taking on more Colored employees who come well recommended, and you will not become dissatisfied or displeased, and we shall be happy to know you have given us consideration which is greatly needed. I am not asking that you go beyond your means, or beyond the proportion we pay into your company. I do not want to show any selfish mood whatever, but I am quite sure if you act according to the situation of today, you will work more in here and there, when there are opportunities, or when opportunities present themselves. This will be a wonderful help to your users who have been supporting you since the beginn ing of your Company or association. They are human and act similar to any other body of people if given a chanee, and are anx ious for an opportunity to make good. They are dependable, trusty, I appreciative and fair; and I am attempting to solve a proposition, appealing for those who are in distress and are anxious for a chance. 1 find no difference when it comes to intelligence; or from whom pecuniary is received; as it is all the same. The more intelli gence one has. the better equipped he is to prepare himself for the necessaries of life, regardless of race; and the more comfortable and inviting he can make his surroundings, to guard himself a gainst diseases; and the more desirable he can fit himself for the situation; not speaking from a social point of view, for that is not to be considered. f Perhaps you have been burdened with other transactions and businesses, and if one is not feeling his best when receiving same, he may have acted according to his feelings, and I am hoping that you will wait another time before looking this letter over. I hope that you will not misinterpret my meaning. Respectfully. —DR. G. B. LENNOX. Federal Home Loan Bill (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) “In order to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to make payments upon stock of Federal Home Loan Banks subscribed for by him in accordance with the Fed eral Home Loan Bank Act, the sum of $125,000,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for such purpose, is hereby allocated and made available to the Secretary of the Treasury out of the capital of the corporation and, or the proceeds of notes, debentures, bonds, and other ob ligations issued by the corporation. For the purposes of this paragraph, the corporation shall issue such notes, bonds, debentures, and other obligations as may be nec essary.” (g) After the amount of capital of a Federal Home Loan Bank paid in by members (21) exceeds by 10 per centum of the amount paid in by the Secretary of the Treasury under subsection (f), such bank shall apply an nually to the payment and retirement of the shares of the capital stock held by the United States, 50 per centum of all sums thereafter paid in as capital until all such capital stock held by the United States is retired at par. Stock held by the United States may at any time, in the discre tion of the Federal Home Loan Bank, and with the ap proval of the board, be paid off at par and retired in whole or in part; and the board may at any time require such stock to be paid off at par and retired in whole or in part if in the opinion of the board the Federal Home Loan Bank has resources available therefor (22): Provided, That cumulated dividends, as provided in subsection (k) have been paid. (h) Stock subscribed for otherwise than by the United States, and the right to the proceeds thereof, shall not be transferred or hypothecated except as hereinafter provided and the ceritficates therefor shall so state. (i) Any member may withdraw from membership in a Federal Home Loan Bank six months after filing with the board written notice of intention so to do, and the board may, after hearing, remove any member from membership, or deprive any nonmember borrower of the privilege of obtaining further advances, if, in the opinion of the board, such member or nonmember borrower has failed to comply with any provision of this Act or the regulations of the board made pursuant thereto or if, in tiie opinion of the board, such member or nonmember borrower is insolvent. In any such case, the indebtness of such member or nonmember borrower to the Federal Home Loan Bank shall be liquidated, and the capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank owned by such member shall be surrendered and canceled. Upon the liquidation of such indebtness such member or nonmember borrower! shall be entitled to the return of its collateral, and, upon surrender and cancellation of such capital stock, the member shall receive a sum equal to its cash (To be con tinued next week.) Business and Industrial Survey (Continued from p. 1) od in the tenets of such a religion of the strong have accepted the status of the weak as divinely or dained: and during the last three generations of their nominal free dom they have done practically nothing to change it. The pout ing and passing of resolutions by a few of the race have been of little avail. No systematic effort toward chanse has been possible, for. taught the same economics, his tory. philosophy, literature and religion which have established the present code of marals. the Negro s mind has been brought under the control of his oppres sor. The problem of holding the Aegro down is Therefore easily solved. When you control a man's ! thinking you do not have to wor ry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his “proper place'' and will stay in it. ^ on do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary. The average so-called educated Negro, then, is the greatest liab ility of the race. Only a few high ly trained Negroes become useful m the uplift of their people, and these develop thus in the propor tion as they recover from their education. The same educational process which inspires and crush es the spark of genius in the Ne gro by making him feel that his race does not amount to much and never will measure up to the standards of other peoples. The Negro thus educated is hopeless. Why *is the average Negro a liability? Well, to express it in a few words, he is compelled to live and move among his own peo ple whom he has been taught to : despise. If he could go off and ^ be white, he might be happy; but only a mulatto now and then can do this. The large majority of educated Negroes therefore, must go through life denouncing white people because they are trying to run away from the blacks and de crying the Negroes because they are not white. As a rule, theretore, the educ ated Negro, indoctrinated in slav ery prefers to buy his food from a white grocer because it does not matter how often a black man washes his hands he cannot clean them, and it does not matter how much a white man uses his hands he cannot soil them. The educat ed Negro is disinclined to take part in Negro business, because he has been taught that Negroes cannot operate in this particular sphere. He gets less and less pleasure out of the Negro church, not always because of its increas ing corruption, but because he prefers the system of “righteous ness" expounded by the oppress or. This has been his education. What else can you expect? If you teach a people a lesson for three centuries, they may learn it. For this reason you often find more evidence of progress among a group of “uneducated” Negro es running a barber shop than you find in a Negro school. Tliese barbers have not gone far enough in school to miseducated. They sit around during their leisure, discussing largely things which take place among their people. They read Negro newspapers, and readily buy books on thp Negro. Two of the best distributors of Negro literature we had in the early days were barber shops in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and •Seattle, Washington. Any of our educated Negroes would think of such a thing. Education, as they see it, is to develop the power to admire the Green, the Latin and the Teuton, and to get away from the Negro, although the oppressor is ever at hand to prevent them from so doing. When you compare the Negro school with the Negro barber shop you inevitably feel discouraged. The cause of the race can get a hearing in the Negro barber shop more easily than in a Negro school. In the barber shop the Negro must do what somebody else wants done. Tam wondering then, whether this greater interest accounts for the fact that from the barber shop with all its short comings and temptations we have had useful and efficient men like John Merrick, who relying upon Negroes, founded the North Caro lina Mutual Life Insurance Com pany. and Alonzo F. Herndon who in the same way. founded the At lanta Life Insurance Company. In spite of the millions spent at At lanta. Lincoln, Fisk and Howard, They have not been able to pro duce men like these. —C. G. WOODSON. WHAT OTHERS SAY (by B. I. Ennis) Just a word about the unem ployed married men’s council getting down to business at their first meeting at the headquarters of their new home formerly the old telephone building. The meet ing was a great success. Every colored citizen should express his sentiments by joining and putting his shoulder to the wheel of a great cause in a time like this. Every citizen should thank the heads of the Unemployed Married Men’s Council. -CLASSIFIED ADS- • 2- Room Furnished Apt., 2216 Willis Avenue, WE. 4612. FOR RENT—Modern 2 room a partment.
