Most people regard God as a kind

Surely God knows better
than we what is good for us so why
not leave the matter o f giving to God
and confine your prayers in asking
him to forgive you tor your many
sins.

Albon L llolsey, president of the
National C. M A. Stores Inc., com

•The closing o f these three stores
again ralsea the question. What can
Negro busines do to tie supported liy

Here were stores
located on Seventh Avenue with Ita
passing Ihrougs and chopping thou
sands Here were alores, set up as C M

"H ere were »lores which met the

Many candidates for public office
sailing under the Republican banner
in the recent election exhibited an
Indlferent, arrogant and even hostile
attitude toward the Negro voters, man
ifesting a belief that the only consid
eration to be accorded the Negro is a
hand shake and hello before election
day, in an effort to secure his vote.
A fter the election Is over, as usual,
the jobs and numerous considerations
are given to the other fellow while
the Negro stands wishing and long - 1
ing for a job. In the mean time the
office holder whom the Negro voters
helped to put' into office, seems to
draw him self Into a hole and pull the |
dirt ln after him. Truly pride goeth ,
