vaneoment of the N'egio race is the
.white-minded Negro! To be. black
and think white i* not always an advantage;
but in most eases it is a
distinct >di.>uuvantage. . Cert-ici -totes
will not allow Nd&ro women to try
oil hats and other apparel; vet thes.*
white-minded Negro women thick to
these same.stores and gloat over the
fac$. that, such ami such garment came
from such and such store. Strange
to- -sttr?this tp peculiarly fmevalcnT
among our "Big Four Fuiulreds-."
One of the greatest Obstacles to the
spread of the gospel of-the "DoubleI)uty-Dollar"
is 'this same, white?which?makes?a
Negr.i'
feel that if the.white man "say it" or
"sells it", it is better! In a large department
store in a "certain city."
there are many Negro elevator boys
wjth a Negro starter. The, hoys could
no^ be handled hv the Negro 'startit..
but Uere lorever dissenting''and mut
pious. The Negro starter sensed
thi^ situation and asked the manage
nifiii in fi'iivvu mm, lie was renev-.
id and a white starter wits put in
.charge. The Negro elevator boys
es and what is most important, the
establishment has efficient elevator
service. These Negro' bovs are of.
the "white-minded" stripe; they ,iiv
to be pitied: they and their kind arc
the millstones about the neck of the
Negro race as it Strives to i*-e'.
What is more", there is nothing in vhe*
Constitution ui'~ the r'nUcd Slates run
in . tin1 aineiuliiieiits thereof thafcan
relieve si^ch situation. The while.
philanjthronist is powerless in the
premise and Negro Vdueatioii at present
is not nrtdressod to tlie situation.
The cure for, this situation must be
administered by the N'eiVo race!
This i<s a problem that mu-l In- faeo*j
by Negro leadership and the." sooner'

is a perpetual three* to

or will be! So Jonn as this type of
thinking pivvails^th? Negro's -business
is uncertain and our commercial life
is. in jeopardy. Whitcsinindedness!

the better type of Negroes went ovct j
to Seventh Avenue, ami this became
one of the finest thoroughfares in all
this country. Wide Well-shaped
streets with plaza in center and'then

Wrong of it; we are just setting forth
the pity of it! What can Negroes
do to save beautiful Negro districts
from the scourge of uneleanmss and
"alley-ness;" One trouble in Harlem
Is this same "white-minded-ness" on
the part of our Neg'oes. The streets
-are--ti.lthy to the point of disgust,
riven on Seventh Avenue^ahefe is
hardly a clean place to set one's foot.
Dogs ami dog* and more dogs! Little
dogs and big dogs foreign and domes*
ticated dogs' ?It shouhl be uguin.-t
the law for a people so conge-ted to
have so many dogs with ho places
for them in private. Negroes do hot
seem to know that white dog owners
ordinarily are those of groat wealth, j
who can have large hack-yards ami
lots where the dogs are not a menace i
to decency. These Negroes with their'
"white-mind" hardly have where* to j
lay their own heads; yet tin y are j
housing hundreds and hundreds of
dogs whose filth lines the streets of
once one of the prettiest sections of j
Manhattan. We hope that Grand Old '
Fred .Moore will take a hand in his'
matter and take it soon to clean up j
Harlem and make it a decent place in
are too many doge in Harlem fed a.;d '
wnrch to laRc? a decent stroll. There
slept by poor Negroes. The filthy
streets' are an abomination in the
sight of decent people!

was Dr. Rolvyx Harlan of the Uni-vers.ity

gospel was submitted to him he saw
almost immediately its implications

'urther added that it is abuot the only
hing Nogroe business can do at "s<

there was for the Negro resided in !s

gospel of the Dpuble-Duty Dollar the .
