CLEANING

GAME
both white and colored folk.
PREACHER
Rev. Tom Smith and Rev. Elijah
Mosely have not only I brought dis-
grace upon themselves I but have
brought the stamp of suspicion and
distrust upon the name of those who
are really the ambassadors of the
lowly Naxarene by their ridiculous
conduct last week.
Think of a minister brewing boose
tor sale and for the enjoyment of his
fellow associates and their consorts
in one room while another "divine"
and his white consort was In bed in
another room, and while the trusting
members of his flock out at Monta
vllla were laboring and begging the
public for funds with which to pay
his salary and the indebtedness on
the church.
To say the least, this is certainly
a hard blow to the colored ministry.
Rev. Smith has lived in Portland for
a number of years, and when the op
portunity presented itself, he exhort
ed the people to the good life and the
way to heaven. He was also a day
laborer and has long bore the repu
tation of a liar and a grafter in the
name of his church by fleecing white
business men out of money to finance
his church, which did not exist. On
several occasions. The Advocate's at
tention has been called by white
friends to the Rev. Smith's methods,
and in turn we have reported his case
to others of the ministry who st-emed
powerless to stop him. But now that
he has been caught manufacturing
boose for sale, fined, jailed end thor
oughly disgraced, maybe it will be
the end to his operations in this
community
The Rev Mr. Mosely, it is said, has
left for parts unknown. He was prac
tically new to the community and
only a few days ago came to The
Advocate office asking for introduc
tions to those of the other race who
might be willing to help him in his
church work. As we bad not been
acquainted with him very long, and I
remembering another preacher this '
church had not long ago in the per
son ot Rev. Lowe, who was a crook
pure and simple and who since has
served time in a New York peniten
tiary, we told him that we would see
what we could do for him at a later
time. Now The Advocate, along with
the colored population, Is proud that
these men have been exposed and
that we are rid of two crooked elders
at one and the same time.
FIFTY YEARS OR MORE
It the experience ot the last fifty
years and more have demonstrated
anything to the Negro, it is that he
must take hold of himself, emanci
pate hts mind, free his spirit and get
down to the job of doing more for
himself in every phase of our Ameri-
can life. He has done something,
but not enough. Too much time Is
spent in trying to show the world
what we are and what we have done
—and not enough in thinking and
working today with the tuture in
mind. We have too many mutual I ad-
miration societies, and waste too
much time telling ourselves how
1
great we are. While thus engaged.
