Fraternalisni Practice Thinking men and women, mem bers of some of our fraternal or ganizations. and others who might become members, are tired of so much high-sounding boasting and braggadocio indulged in by some of the leaders and members of these organizations. Some of the mem bers are shot through and through with home-breakers, wife beaters, petty grafters and common crimi nals. until our fraternal organiza tions are willing to sum up its real assets and properly charge off its liabilities. It is sheer nonsense to talk about making the proper impression and receiving the right recognition at the hands of people who believe in right living, when some of our or ganizations have as its leaders men and women of such calibre. omission of President Hoover to be noticeable. False Philosophy The Negro should cling to every right guaranteed to him by the con stitution as an American citizen. Hard as it is to hold what is his, it is easier than to recover what has been lost. This thing, then, of be ing supine and allow what is his to be taken away to get along "nice" is false philosophy. Easily gotten things are not much account any way. ZION CHURCH Investigate the poor houses and jails, and the inmates were prosper ous in their youth, but as a result of blind spending, their days are spent in bitter thought of what they could have been, had they saved something in the days of plenty. A miser is just as distasteful as a pauper. The golden mean is the better policy. Spend a little and save a little. But to squander every penny is the way of a fool. Check over the list of your ac quaintances and find how many at one time were making money who are now in need of charity. Wise men profit by the mistakes of others.
