SATURDAY FEBRUARY IS
Be seen and not heard.
Go to church on Sundays.
Be of good cheer as I have over
come so shall ye. lilbie.
The man who scoffs at the church
should be asked to substitute for It
something better.
The man who cannot put up should
shut up. It Is money which makes
(he mare go.
A fool is known not only by his
much speaking but by the quality
of his remarks.
A Jury unfairly drawn can be re-
llod on to give an unfair verdict
Evil never produces good.
The man who mis-uses all the
week days will have a time keeping
the Sabbath holy.
Behave! That will help some.
' It is the thought which makes and
molds the want Think!
Take your heart off your sleeve
and you will not have your feeling
hurt so often.
' Right In the early months of 1919
let us go back to the economy to
which we pledged ourselves the first
day of the year.
Blessed Is the man who qualifies
as an elector and votes. Verily
be shall be a factor in the land.
.The lynching Industry will not be
seriously menaced as long as its
victims sit supinely by an expect
those who originated it to stop it
If we had to forgive our enemies
only we might sometime get a re-
spite but then there are our fool
(lends.
The railroad companies which
operate in the South seem willing
to take the Colored trn's full farn
only. All things else Hie done under
durnss.
Petition and protest some time
but organize . all the time. Let the
Colored people take this view of
tilings and many obstacles which
s seem Immovable will disappear.
The America white man who fe Is
that the necessity of legislation to
. obstacle the colored mau. Is a mighty
poor specimen pi humanity.
The horse Is so fond of his kind
that be prefers as an assoriate
another horse. In lieu of any other
animal. The horse Is a candidate for
eternal exlsltence. He loves his kind.
It would not be surprising to know
ones If the Peace uich the world
is looking toy In Parts should be
found to reside elsewhere. What is
more It my be when found the
world will have to fight to get it.
Speak ig of vlrst one thing and
then ai -ther what would be the
matter with the government deport
lng lynchers. They rightly can be
classed among those who seek it
destruction.
Editor I. Willis Cole of The Louis-
ville (Ky.) Leader has printed tnd
diet. Ibu ted over the city a sign which
rends "Don't say 'Nigger' in this
place." They have helped the morale
of Colored ' stores shops and other
meeting places. Editor Cole we
need your sign in Dallas.
' The ' suffrage amendment was lost
by one vote. The Democratic party
bat deliberately slapped the women
of the country In the face. The prop-
osition by Senator WiU'am of Missis-
sippi to enfranchise the white women
of the country only was so mon-
strous Vice-President Marshall ruled
It out of order Marshall is a Dem-

TUBEE THINGS NEGRO WORKERS
WAKT.
One of the things I find colored
men and women all over this county
want is a fair and square chance
to work at whatever they can do and
In whatever place they can do it
They are simply asking for plain
ordinary justice and for a chance
to get jobs; and as long as they
can do those Jobs to have a chance
to hold them.
Second working men are asking
for an opportunity to be trained for
their Jobu. What we want is the
equipment to do whatever work we
feel ourselves called' upon to do
that the world wants done whether
that be writing books or following a
plow euuing a newspaper or preacn
Ing a sermon laying a brick wall
building a ship or giving council
at the peace tabl.e We want educa
tion at the expense of the public
funds; we want the great bulk of the
people taken off charity list for their
education and put on the basis of
taxation.
Third I find that Negro men and
women all over this country want
a share In the common benefits of
the community. I mean those pub
lic facilities In every community be
sides education l nnd a common
consensus of opinion among work
ing men all over this land that they
want those ordinary benefits that
every modern community now has
provided for the residents. They are
beginning to feel that they want
bathtubs sewerage and paved streets.

By J. Alba Austin.
In an interview with R. Lee Jones
manager of the Dallas Black Giants
the following information was dls.
closed pertaining to the operation
of the local team of the Texas Color-
ed base ball league. The men who
have from and signed their contracts
for the season: Catchers Brown
Riley and Spearmint; Pitchersr.
Brown Cooper and Mallory; In-
fielders: Will Jones Johnson Rich-
ardson M.illory Washington and
Elder; Out-fielders: Scott. Sloan
Jackson and Williams. Many of
these faces will be new to the Dal-
las fans but each is destined to
burn up things around the loop in
the coming campaign. This new
blood comes to the Giants highly
touched and bids fair to all thet is
said of them. More rookies are yet
to be .heard from.
In all probabilitias appearantiy the
line-up thus mentioned will be one
of the strongest and most formidable
aggregation this city has ever had.
At the association meeting held last
Tuesday it was learned that otlitr
clubs were equally as strong as Dal-
las. Information was disclosed that
