EDITORIAL PAGE
The value of advertising by
churches is being: demonstrated
by the churches of the dominant
group. It was never more ap-
parent than by glancing over the
columns of the daily press last
Saturday, before Easter. Our
churches seem contented to go
along in the old way of broad-
casting their announcements
from the pulpit, and expecting
their race papers to devote space
gratis, and with few exceptions
the ministers do not think they
should even subscribe for a race
paper. The press and ministry
co-operating, could be powerful
factors for good, but a venal press
and a licentious ministry are
the bane of any community. It
is to be hoped that the "new
ministry" who are coming on the
scene will realize that religion is
a going concern, and should not
depend on the gratuities of the
press to put its messages over.
We are in receipt of the 18th
annual report of the N.A.A.C.P.
and quote from the foreword:—
"The record of the year 1927
has again demonstrated that the
N.A.A.C.P. is the only organiza-
tion of national scope effective on
a national scale in its efforts to
secure, reaffirm, and safeguard
fundamental citizenship rights of
the American Negro. It is the
Negro's instrument, and the Ne-
gro represents the 'shock troops'
in behalf of all the minority
groups in America which test the
reality of American democracy."
If this report could reach every
red-blooded Negro in America
he would have no reason to be
ashamed of his race.
"It is either a feast or a fam-
ine," an old adage, but it would
seem to fit the situation that con-
fronts the community at this time
relative to starting a bank. No
doubt many of our people have
been approached by the different
promoters, who have tried to im-
press you with the merits of their
particular system over the other
fellows, etc. Now, there is no
doubt that our group needs some
safe and sane plan of finance, as
many are faced with the difficulty
of refinancing the loans on their
homes, and also our business men
are pinched, and find it difficult
to expand for lack of capital; so
we believe there is room for one
strong institution to take care oi
the situation. But it must be
clearly demonstrated that the
intentions and honesty of those
promoting these schemes are for
the best interests of our group
and the community. Too much
is at stake, and it is hoped that
the men in our community who
inspire confidence will see to it
that a safe and sane system with
ail the safeguards of the law
thrown around it, is put over.

NEW NEGROES EOR OLD
Star of Zion
Harrison Rhodes, author cf "H »v*
to Be 111," " How to Deal with tht
Doctor," etc.. recognizes that the
o'd Negro is passing in manners ir
characteristics, in appearance and
outlook; that the Negro who black
his face, cracks coarse, stall? joke
and plav s the fool for public entei-
tainment is almost extinct. Tlu
new Negro, with an increasing sel*
respect and a deeper race conscious-
ness, is displacing him. "Topsv i-
already out of fashion—soon she
may be non-existent."
Education and progress cannot
confined. The world moves in
every part of it, and the Negio
moves with it and there's the rub in
our social system. Mi. Rhodes savs
it was not the fault of the Negioes
that they were slaves, nor is it then
fault that they are free. That the
wish to be Ameiican is violently
contagious. There is complaint, to
be sure, in some quarters, that the
Negro does not know bis place, but
