do likewise.

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION
(By Myrtle Campbell)
So much has been written about
the economic situation that there
seems to be nothing left to be said on
the subject. If we could only awaken
to the fact that we bring or cause all
those conditions on ourselves by our
stupidity and ignorance we might
progress a little faster. As it is we
are always In the midst of some kind
rtf upheaval either economic or indus
trial slavery or oppression, and only
remove one shackle to be bound
with another.
Our sense of values are mixed The
American dollar is the basis of suc
cess and progress and only in novels
does man put character above the
false standards of money, economic
power, and prestige. I owe it to my
self and family to take advantage of
every opportunity to climb the ladder
of materia! success and power. That
is the motio of every ambitious man
to carve his destiny in this world.
This mundane aggressiveness depriv
es him of spiritual iprogre**. warps
his soul by centering his thoughts on
his oun ego. and causes him to tram
ple down anyone «'ho stands in his
way. What a false standard of life!
One of our able writers says that
those who are being oppressed are
the weak. To be physically weak has
nothing to do with the soul. The op
pressed may be weak physically, but
giants spiritually It takes character
to stand the strain of oppression and
slavery as it is the acid test that
shows the virility of the soul. He is
weak who would down bis fellowman:
he who would rise over tbe sweat and
toll of h:s brother, has a mors! weak
ness that is for more deplorable than
any physical handicap.
In speaking of the races this writer
■ Iso says to stop thinking white or
colored. He might add to atop feeling
colored. The color is accidental, tran
sitory. and external, and has nothing
to do with the ipo'.entlality of the
mind, except if anything, to make It
more alert and susceptible to unfold-
ment thru the power of educa'lon. The
color, we learn is caused by the posi
tion of tho sun for thousands of years
to Africa, the home of the Negro. The
shite race becomes darker in a tropi
cal climate. Another thing the races
should slo->, pat-onlzing each other.
