D. GRIFFIN PASSES AWAY. A. D. Griffin; editor and owner of The Kansas Elevator, died of heart failure, in his office Friday evening, June 2nd.

He nad been ailing for several months, yet his closest friends did not regard his condition as being serious, and his sudden death was a shock as well as a surprise to the whole community where he was loved and and respected by all classes of citizens. Mr. Griffin was a man of commanding presence and of wonderful native ability. Of his many redeeming traits, that of his love for his people was greatest. He had an abiding faith in the Negro, and firmly believed that the day was not far distant when a better feeling between the two races would be "worked out, and that politics was the one great gulf to be bridged in order to bring about a closer as well as a friendlier relation-' ship on the part of the white race for the Negro, and along this line he was making remarkable headway.

He was a Democrat, but his democracy was of a different brand from that of most Negroes who have identified themselves with that party. He believed that the principles for which Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland stood were right, and that by a division of his vote, the Negro would not only be showing evidences of his growing intelligence, but would, at the same time become a more acceptable citizen and neighbor in those sections of the country where he is most objected to at the present time. Mr. Griffin was born in Kingston, Louisiana, June 11, 1868, and was reared on a farm by his parents, Fanny and Tillman Griffin. He had but little schooling and was practically a self made man.

To be a man of affairs was the dream of his life, and at the early age of 20 he went to California and soon thereafter established the Los" Angeles Eagle, a paper that is still in existence. Mr. Griffin was a Catholic and died in that faith. In manners, deportment and. treatment of his fellowmen he was an ideal man.

He gave to the public freely of his scanty means, and like many other great men, failed to lay up a fortune for his declining years. He was a good man, a good citizen, and his death will be a great loss to bis race. Our Policy. Under the new management of The Elevator, there will be no departure from the policy' pursued by the late iA. D.

Griffin. We shall strongly continue to adhere to the principles of the Democratic party and will unreservedly give our support to the nominees of party, municipal, county, state, and national. We shall seek, at every opportunity to do all in our power to help further the interest of the race along all worthy lines and insist upon fair and just treatment of the Negro in every section of the country. We will give those men who believe in the "fatherhood of God and the uni versal brotherhood of man" our first consideration, since it is to men of this character we must look for the proper adjustment of all of these differences Vhat now so widely separates the interest of the two races. We shall have no quarrel with those who differ from us, conceding to every man the right to his own opinion; We are going to keep up the tone of the paper and hope thereby to re tain the confidence and support that was given to Mr.

Griffin. We hope that the merchants and business men will continue their advertisements, and i we promise to direct our people to those who do so. No LIQUOR or HAIR advertisements will be accept ed by Elevator, the former being a race-destroyer, and the latter ronroachful acknowledgment. We shall appreciate legitimate news of in tercet from any section of the country and will give the same free space in The Elevator. With this brief statement, we make oor bow to the public and ask to be a fair hearing at the bar of public opinion.

"This warning I would especially make to men and women just before they go to a store to buy something. If you are only able to buy a suit for $10 don't buy one for $25, simply because you are afraid the salesman will think you are cheap if you don't buy it.

Don't go beyond your means In order to keep up airs. "The store is really the place where the troubles of most men and women begin. A man goes into a store to buy a spring suit. In his heart of hearts he wishes for some 'chance' which would enable him to get a last years suit for $10. He remembers that a year ago he got just that kind of a suit for just that price.

The style was not the latest, but was nearly so. The goods, too, were of a cheap quality, but the stripe resembled the $30 suits. If he could get something like this now, it would suit him first rate. He needs the extra $10 or $16 badly. "When he enters the store, however, the clerk generally begins to convince him that cheap suit is really the more expensive suit.

So he might just as get a good one while he is get ting it. It will wear longer. It will give better satisfaction all around. The clerk takes it for granted that the man can pay the price or at least flatters his customer by taking this for granted, and then the customer is generally foolish enough to try to actually keep up the wrong notion of the clerk about his pocketbook. He buys the higher priced suit and then will go on economizing for weeks.

State Your Price, Go No Higher. "I have been in that same fix my self many a time. When I enter a store to get a suit or overcoat, I know just how much I am able to spend and look for the goods which I can get at such a price. When the salesman be gins to tell me what I ought to buy, frankly tell him' that my pocketbook knows better what I ought and what ought not to buy. I tell the clerk at the outset that I want a suit for about so and so much.

The highest I will go is so and so much, and he had bet ter not look for anything which is out of my financial horizon. "Of course, sometimes I have to leave the store without buying anything, but I don't let that worry me in the least. I am there to pay a cer tain price for a certain kind of goods. that particular house does not have that kind of goods, it is not my fault "Sometimes such a procedure is un pleasant. The clerk is apt to look down upon you and whisper behind your back as you are leaving the store, that you are a cheap sport.

"Acid Test" for Negroes. The great European war and the ever present danger of the United States being drawn into it has directed attention to an awakened interest in no phase of American life more worthy of serious thought than to the thoughtless, unpatriotic raciol "worship and racial selfishness which we must realize, bids fair, if not not checked, to become shortly a real menace to the government.

Race-loy alty and devotion thereto is a most valuable asset in "character building" and the teaching of which, a whole-' some inspiration to the plastic minds fit the nation's youth; but graVe dan ger lies in practicing and encouraging race-pride and race-devotion, to the extent of creating race-selfishness to the exclusion of and thus fostering a spirit out of which grows "race-hatred" and race-antagonism. All Americans, regardless of racial ties or sympathies, owe it to their government, to vote into office men whose records places them safely on the side of the common people. If an adminis-tratial official strives to serve the interest of the whole people, all races and classes should, as good Americans, accept him as being a worthy public servant, and this too, regardless of whether he has, or has not, wrought any miracles in favor of any particular class or race. The Negroes who sup ported and voted for Woodrow Wilson four years ago, argued that the time had arrived for the politicals emancipation of the race, and that Our traditional worship of everything from a carpet-bagger to a political mon- trocity bearing the Republican label, was at an end. That by long years of abject political servitude to the Republican "bosses" the race had destroyed both their manhood -and self-respect, and that this was far worse than human slavery that existed more than a half century ago, and that a continuation of this "devotion" would soon lose to the race the respect and protection of all decent men regardless of political affiliation.

Evidence is not wanting tending to show that the progressive element of the Democratic party are willing to meet the Negro more than half way in bringing about his political emancipation, thus enhancing his value as a citizen and as a factor in his ova development We do not claim that President Wilson has bestowed any special favor upon Negroes and we have heard of no good reason why a few members of the race were not given some of the many places which were given to the Negroes by Grover Cleve land. But whatever the cause may have been for his failure to see the as we and thousands of others including many of his white friends and admirers see it, we are unable to explain. But we do know that had Mr. Wilson appointed Negroes to places, it would have done much destroying in both races the distrust' each feels toward the other, thus he would have rendered a great social service to humanity. The Ele vator believes there are some of the President's most influential friends who have advised him to apply the "acid test" to the Negro Democrats and see whether they will stand hitched for another "charge" against their brethren and former allies in the G.

O. after the next battle should we still be found, in large numbers, in the Democratic trenches, it is be lieved that the fellowship of veteran comrades will be extended and that some of the good "jam" and other choice "eats" will be dished out to the black boys. White Pallbearers. Out in East Las Vegas, N. re cently, at the funeral of Montgom ery Bell, one of the wealthiest men in the state, the pallbearers were all white, some of the most prominent business and professional men of the community.

This is the first time in the history of New Mexico that white pallbearers officiated at a Negro's funeral Sir. Bell came to New Mexico in 1866 from Missouri, working as waiter and cook. Later he became messenger in the First National Bank of Santa Fe. Accumulating some capital he went into the sheep business with Mexican partners, with headquarters at Las Vegas. He became very wealthy, and possessing plenty of ready cash, he increased his hold ings by making loans He was called Bell, the money lender.

Four years ago he became interested in the banking business with John w. Harris, a white man, and financed the People's Trust Co, bat remained as Fancy Groceries, Meats, Fruits and Vegetables in all Seasons. Our motto is to please ALL.
