I Thursday when the Rev. Frank .MafTTgmr Reid. of Lexington.-, Kentucky delivered the address to- the" L'l adtlHT int' I classes. The young Divjne gave advice and information that should linger for many years with those-. i . who heard him. Believing that h;s message should, receive a wider hearing Ave are attempting through this medium to broadcast some of it. . * ' The essence of the address was that t.h-e students' who were about to bo graduated should never cease striving to better their preparation to cope- with the myriads situation's by which they shall 1/e confronted during their lifef- journey.?Ho ad>mmi>dTTrrt~Trg5insT" being satisfied with mediocre accomplishment's.

During thfcse times of economic instability and precariousness as far as the darker brother, particularly, is concerned, wo regard the Roid injune^TlTorpTnot to take their little learning too seriously, delivered to the graduates as being vers appropiate. ? ' r ~ TH if spite of the handicap of color,.. We are sorry that all our tenders were not ' prlvilu^al to hear that sane, ^in.tve, scholarly and eloquently delivered address. - There is so much tin t is-usually lost in th^_ retelling of a story that it were always hot or that??original?narratur^o hoard. Hy that-iis'it may we are passing out these few gleanings from the Reid story that some few who were not present may be stimulated to. think about them and in consequence never catch up with their horizons! ' s/_ ; zr.- starks'the builder When < he ' looks at the physical changes, that have taken places at Be nedict College within the past two years one is compelled to, at least in one's mind, pay tribute to the Negro, the first in hi tory, who heads that school. During the two -ycr? that Dr. J. J. Starks has served in the pr<.sdency of Bm^dict the athetic field has been mov-' d, from the site it htyi occupied behind Convention -Hull and the Chapel building since- the?days- of :'Bob" Smith, .John Dow, .lames Walker.

What is the meaning of "'his political squabble over the taritf? Why is it mate?the whole -rrakm?can be roughly?divided on procction and free trade? Economists treat this matter* of taritf with great seriousness, fgor it most certainly seriously affects the fortunes of the r.ati<.n. Because of the bitterly keen trade competition of the nation. There are many strong argu-aveme-agalnst the -taritf, but there are some strengones for it, the strongest of which is, protection of infant industries. Industries like men .are born, grow and wax strong. Unless a child is: protected during its infancy and childhood, that child can ne.er c./nie to maturity! There are certain child.h' oil-evils mat sooner or later overtake every child unless it is carefully protected. So. it is with industries.; The United States being a younger nation thafn' those of Europe its industries are necessarily younger, and if these younger industries had a foothold and this nation would not be nearly as self-sufficient as now. Our infant indu.^trie^- h^d to bo protected or else we would rcM: have had" them _at?this" n&tiun's Industrial ^life had to Be nourished "from foreign lands, this nation's inhabitants would be withotTt slaves and subjects of hnvtlior nation. (Ttxr Independence grows out of developed industrial life and this has been made possible by tariff regulation and manipulations. As with the industrial life of the nation, so wtih the, business life of the American Xeg?o! Eyery field of Negro business life represents the infant aspect of development. It is true that the Negro has made a signal beginning in almost every field of "useful endeavor;" but- it isequally true that these~beginnings represent infant stages and.as such all of the-e l/eginnings are predisposed to the evils of that attend infancy. Unless these beginnings are protected and -conserved they must soon pass away. One great handicap faces Negroes in a business way-, that is, the Negro is almost everywhere a "citizen" in spending his dollar, hut he is slave and -serf whan h*> would earn that <b.Wfter- To-gut k-another way, the Negro is nearer the'white man's equal in spending his dollar than in any other way. This ireeuom to spend a dollar when accompanied by dis~ crimination cruel in earning the dollar puts the Negro's economic life in jeojardy! If the Negro could he made to see that the only cure for such situation was in his embracing the religion of the "DoubleDuty Dollar," our problem would be half solved, but the Negro is hard of heart to believe*'for th^ season those who teach him themselves are not converted to the religion of the "Double-Duty Dollar" and this simply means a religion of protection for the infant' business life of the Negro. We can boast of our business and cultual beginnings, but unless we protect ourselves we are dancing on the brinks of economic and social doom. The Negro who says that the Negro business man must compete "in equal terms" . Iern- between Atlanta and Spartaiibm-ir. Tomorrow is this writer's birthday.
