As the Race Problem is ever with us, we shall discuss and shall entertain discussions of the same from time to time. We appreciate that we are now living in a commercial era and that the factors of paramount importance in the solution of this problem are economy, industry—the making and saving of money—and business development. We also appreciate that in the upbuilding of the race, unity, co-operation and race patronage are essential. We believe where other things being equal, our business enterprises should receive the patronage of our _leaders_ as well as the masses. There seems to be a well-founded complaint that some of our leaders, from indifference, selfishness or neglect, fail to patronize our business enterprises or give them the consideration they deserve. The Good Book says: “If you are not for us you are against us.” We shall endeavor to “show up” from time to time which side our leaders are on. Unfortunately, we have three classes of leaders. In the first class we have the men and women who, through thought and sacrifice and action, are actually _doing things_ for the race’s advancement. We will take pleasure in mentioning them and their work, as they are entitled to every praise. In another class we have leaders that have been selected _for us_ by the white race, on account of their willingness to advocate inferiority and practice submission. We have still another class that has assumed leadership based upon falsification, gall, treachery, bigotry, egotism and borrowed oratory. These two latter classes are appropriately designated as “old aces” and it is customary for our race journals to give publicity to such persons for so much per. When such persons _do_ something for the advancement of the race we will be pleased to make note thereof, but we will not use valuable space in rehashing and gleaming before the public, falsely assumed virtues and accomplishments to which they are not entitled, but for which they have been given credit solely for the reason that they have “divied up” with someone, to falsely represent them before the public. We should like to send every one of our Subscribers a letter telling of our plans and ambition to give them the greatest value in the columns of =The Half-Century Magazine= that can be obtained anywhere.
