FACTS PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD FACTS PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD A knowledge of the facts is the best safeguard against security frauds, in the opinion of Edward T. Hall, President of the National Better Business Bureau. Unprincipled Promoters, through the medium of "tipster sheets," high pressure salesmen and other devious means, are said to extract a billion dollars yearly from hopeful, but financially ignorant people. In this country we have a group of financiers, stock exchanges and investment institutions that rival, in integrity, knowledge and plain common sense those found anywhere in the world. Sound investment advice is free for asking. The major stock exchanges and investment bankers do everything in their power to protect the public by thoroughly investigating the, securities they list before offering them to the public. Yet the trickster flourishes. The old attraction of "easy money" brings the sheep into the fold. And until the investing public realizes that get-rich-quick schemess are almost certainly unsound or fraudulent and that recognized securities alone are profitable in the long run, avoidable losses will continue to occur.

TO PRAYING MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICA: In the name of Jesus, I am appealing to you to unite with me in prayer to God for the restoration of my health. I have been ill for several years, and have been constantly bed-fast for two years, suffering great physical agony. I am blind and physically helpless. This condition has befallen me in spite of the fact that I have spent more than $10,000.00 for medical and surgical treatment and care. I am now convinced that I cannot get relief through any earthly means. My case cannot be reached by medical and surgical treatmet, by change of climate, or by health resort; I have tried them all. However, I believe in the power of God, and I am asking Him to give me relief. I am seeking to procure the prayers of one hundred praying Christians, and I desire you to be one of them. I am asking for one week of prayer, beginning Sunday, August 11th, and continuing through Sunday, Aug. 18th, and that prayer be offered at any time during said week, but particularly at the hours of 9 o'clock a. m. and 9 o'clock p. m. of each day. with echoes from the state B. Y. P. U., and National Congress at Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Eula Mae Hamilton talked on "A deeper reverence and its effect on the young life when Taught at the Junior Age." Mrs. Laura Anderson sang, "Building." "How to Reach and Hold the Children's Interest," and address delivered by Mrs. Olga'Baker, Wichita. The sermon was preached by the Rev. G. T. Raimey, Junction City. The outstanding features of this morning session were an address, "The_Responsibility_of the Church as to the Social Life of Young People," by Mrs. Laura Anderson, Wichita; music by the Arkansas City Quartet, and a Demonstration, "Music as a part of the Worship and What It Contributes to the Service," by Miss Dorothy Sims, Wichita. Miss Luvena Gunn is pianist and Mrs. Laura Anderson, director of music for these services. (Continued next week) AN AUTHORITY ON CRIME Writing in Harper's Magazine, Jack Black, who served several long terms for felonies, effectually explodes much of the hysteria about crime and criminal legislation. He says most of the reformers begin at the wrong end. They advocate more laws, when present laws are adequate and additional legislation serves only to make the problem more complex and create more criminals. They criticize the police, when the fault lies in the system that has undermined many of our police departments. Graft and corrupt politics have so lowered respect for public authority that police departments are crippled and honest, intelligent men are discouraged from taking up such work as a vocation. Mr. Black speaks as an authority. He has been a criminal and has known thousands of other criminals. He asserts that third degree methods the American prison system and a burden of laws, tend to increase crime. There has been too much favoritism in handling crime. We must apprehend the guilty and protect the innocent. We need well-paid, high-class police officers. Otherwise, we will remain impotent in our fight against the underworld. ANYTHING MIGHT HAPPEN From The Twin-City Herald One of the most recent racial troubles, occurred in the neighboring State of Nebraska, which is considered "up North." This race problem has a way of appearing at points where least expected. We who are usually the sufferers, should always be prepared to demand that the laws be obeyed and that all citizens are protected. The only organization WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 16, 1929 BOGUE. KANSAS. among us that makes any attempt to protect the Group's civil rights through appeals to justice and thro the courts is the N. A. A. C. P., and the support that it receives in the Minneapolis is pitiful. St. Paul has no active organization and Duluth, is in worse shape. One of the most sincere workers in this organization was the late Dr. R. S. Brown who is said to have remarked that the only way to get the average group member to realize the necessity of supporting the N. A. A. C. P., was to have something like a lynching or a race riot occur. That this is true is regrettable. If Minnesota think that they are safe from racial disturbances they are fooling themselves. Every day the law that prohibits discriminations an account of color is violated in Minnesota and nothing is done about it. Yet there are people who say that this organization is not needed. It is tiresome for this writer to continue week after week stressing the need of support of this organization financially. Membership in it costs only One Dollar. If a man's rights are not worth One Dollar per year, he should have them all taken away from him. There are people in this country who are interested in accomplishing that very thing. People who live in this section of the country and are always lamenting on the condition of southern Negroes had better look around right here at home, was only a few years ago that mob violence caused lynchings right here in our own state. A recent scrape, interracial in character at Sixth Avenue and Lyndale, Minneapolis, could have easily assumed race riot proportions. What such instances have to do with support of the N. A. A. C. P., need not be explained to people of intelligence. Colored citizens must always be prepared for anything. Rights unless protected and contended for, have a way of slipping away. E. B. B.

NEGROES DISCRIMINATION DFISCRIMINATIOT ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 26—"We are going to use our beach as other people use it" Is the unequivocal demand that has just been made upon the Board of Commissioners of the Asbury Park Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in a letter which was today made public. During the summer of 1928, following the action of police officers who approached colored people and told them to "go down where you belong," protest by the Asbury N. A. A. C. P., to mayor brought forth the statement from that official that "no such order had been given any officer of the force and no such orders will be given." The discriminatory practice comed of was ended. This year, however, it is rumored, certain colored people approached the City Commissioner and asked for a segregated Section of the beach. As a result there have been several instances recently where colored people have been ordered away from certain parts of the beach. In the letter to the Board of Commissioners relative to this latest instance of discrimination, the Branch declares: "We are citizens and not cattle and we will not be quiescent under any practices or conditions that seek to deprive us of our inalienable rights. If it must be so, we shall peaceably submit to arrest in order to have the courts inform you what are our rights; but rest assued that we are going to use our beach as other people use it." The N. A. A. C. P., letter then calls attention to an attack made upon three colored men by a life guard on July 14th because they went to a part of the beach where the guard thought they should not have gone. The letter ends with the statement: "We feel that we have been patient and have endured much. We shall not annoy you with further communications unless you so desire, but please be advised that the National Association never fights except for the rights of citizens, and it never stops fighting until the court of last resort has passed upon the issue." The outcome of the case is being watched with interest by the citizens of Asbury Park and other New Jersey beach resorts. It is the feeling that had Negroes maintained a united front against discrimination or segregation, the present issue would never have arisen. ST. PAUL A. M. E.
