that the advantages which this raile-

Trusting The Banks.

Money in old socks or under the
rug carpet is one of the most useless
things in the world. Such money
does not even furnish any real pro—
tection to the person who has hid-
den it, for it is so likely .to be lost or
stolen or burned up.

People Usually store money in this
way because. they do not trust the
banks and other financial institutions
which handle the funds of their (le-
positors. Even under a total lack of
guarantee laws, the bank is ordinari-
ly a. safer place for money than is
the old sock.

One function of money is to make
more money for its posser. It was

"There was no alternative but lin-
migration. Every negro‘knows that
white is white and black is black
here in America. The North and the
South are quite a. unit on the color
question. That question is no longer
a debatable one between the two
sections. This is shown by the
wholesale discrimination—North and
South.

Negro Problem Transferred.

"The coming together of the ne-
groes‘ in large numbers, from the
South accentuates the problem in the
North and makes it more difficult
to solve. It transfers thé problem
from one section to another aid vir-
tually re-estnblishes some of the
conditions that he has endeavored to
cheapo. The Northern negro will
have to share the outcome.

"The one thing that the negro is
assured of in the North is his right to
vote and the certain“; of school
privileges. He will become a power
in his new home as a voter. The
ballot in his hands will mean much
to him. It is the new negro man
that must be reckoned with. Neither
of the great parties can always count
on his vote. He has made up his
mind to use it where it will best
serve his own interest and that of
his people and he will'do it."

Educated negroes everywhere are
uttering like declarations. There
seems to be an understanding among
them that the ballot is to be used
_freely as a club to force the white
'mnn. North and South, to yield him
his "rights."

In a survey of the territory most
affected by the migration movement
the avowed purpose of negro leaders
is to convert the new army of negro.
workmen into formidable voting
groups. and use them in close elec-
tions to the best advantage. It was

the other complaints grow out or

ty in Federal court here yesterday,

with the operations of. the‘I’etrole-mi

had entered pleas of guilty. wore
lined 8500 each. H. O. Stephens,
who also entered‘ a plea of guilty,
was fined $7,000 and sentenced to
ninety days in Jail. “ ’

Judge Kiillls passed sentence on
Dr. Cook after a scathing denuncia-
tion of the methods said to have
been practiced by the former arctic
explorer. Cook made no statement.

All the convicted men immediately
were taken to jail. where they will
remain until they either make bond
or their appeals. which they say
they will make, are acted upon.
Cook’s bond was placed at $75,000.
which he will not be permitted: to
make until after a complete record
of the case has been drawn.

Only one of the fourteen men
who stood trial in Federal court for
six weeks was acquitted. and be. A.
M. Delcambre. on an instructed ver-
dict ordered by Judge Killits.

Dr. Cook was found guilty on
twelve counts of the indictment
against him. as Were all other do-

fouud him guilty 0! eight counts.
The jury was out twenty hours. Af-
ter it had delivered in verdict
Judge Killits launched into an ax.
raignment of Dr. Cook.

,‘f His general denunciation was
made while thanking the jury for
neariysix Weeks of tirelessrservice.

 

“You have done what I expected
you to do." the court said. “when
this nefarious scheme began to un-
fold in the evidence."

"First we had Ananias and the
twentieth century produced ‘Dr.
Frederick A. Cook." said Judge Kil-
lits. “Well, Cook." he added. "what
have you to say for yourself?"

The Arctic explorer made no ‘an-
swer as he stood up for sentence.

“You have' at last. reached the
point." said the Judge. “where your
hypnotic personality that duped

This deal is so damnsbly crooked
that the lawyers who defended'you

But rmuonsn to talk; What I say

as he ended his denunciation and
pronounced sentence. _

Dr. ; Frederick .A. Cook first be-
came internationally. known in 1909.
when. upon arriving in Copenhagen
from‘la trip~isto the far north. he
announced that he had discovered
the North Pole- the previous April.
His story was accepted as trueand
he was received there with his:
honors. >

Upon returning to this country Dr.
Cook published reports of his Jour-
ney and wide credence was gfien
his narations for some months.
Since then his claims have been dis-
puted. and he ultimately was brand-
ed as a taker. but in the meantime
he was the recipient of insurhonors.
He was made president of the Ex-
plorers Club. New York, and a mom‘-
ber of the Kings County W86-
