MUTUAL SAVINGS ASSOCIATION MAKES KNOWN ITS 1921 PROGRAM. The Mutual Savings Association, 1920, distributed to the members of its Christmas Savings Club, the sum of $12,500, which is evidence of confidence on the part of the people in their enterprises. In the distribution of this large sum of money all calculations and book-keeping must be done by our own people. So far as we have been able to ascertain, there was not a single mistake and this within itself speaks volumes for the ability and afficiency of those connected with the work. At the present date we have over 1500 Christmas Savers for the year of 1921 who are saving from 10c a week to $5.00 and about 1000 members who are depositors in the Mutual Savings Bank, making a total number of persons who are depositing each week 2500. It is our purpose to at least increase our Christmas Savings Club to 2500 people, and our Mutual Savings deposits to 10,000 on the weekly deposit plan of not less than one dollar. It may sound far-fetched when we say to you that at the rate our Christmas Savers are depositing now we will distribute more than $100,000 and interest next December. Our program has been mapped out for the year which includes the following: (1) The remodeling and improving of our office and bank building located at 608 West Walnut street, within the next ninety days, where we will do a regular commercial banking business, together with our Mutual Savings and Christams Savings Club. (2) The remodeling and establishing of our department store at 1020 West Walnut street within the netx thirty days. (3) The increasing of our membership to 10,000 persons, together with an extensive program for such an increase, beginning the 20th day of January and ending on the 1st day of April, 1921. (4) To be of service to our people, both religiously, commercially and fraternally. (5) To render the greatest amount of service to the greatest number of people. (6) To meet all of our people in a straight-for  ward businesslike way, and to do nothing which shall not be within the bounds of law, and at the same time deal with our patrons upon a high moral basis. (7) We shall have at our disposal for investment at least $200,000 for the year 1921, and we shall be glad to have your advice and your council, making some suggestions as to how we shall honestly and wisely handle this money for the good of the greatest number of our people. (8) We want you and all of your friends and associates to be connected in a mutual way with this great institution, and at the same time be a patron of the great commercial bank that is now in process of organization. (9) Our assets are valued at more than $200,000, which includes cash money, real estate, government bonds, railroad bonds, real estate mortgage bonds, gas and electric bonds. Our gross income from rents alone amount to between eight and nine thousand dollars a year, and at the same time it is our duty to handle and to invest in good securities an extra hundred thousand dollars, which we hope to invest for the benefit and use of our own people. The Mutual Savings and Realty Association is in a position to handle your real estate loans, to examine titles to your property, to draw up deeds and any legal documents necessary and proper. When in need of advice call at the office of the Mutual Savings Association, and we shall be glad to confer with you. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. MRS. SARAH CRAWFORD SUCCUMBS.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE OPENS SCHOOL AGAIN. Lincoln Institute has called its students back and will open school on Wednesday, the 19th. Sufficient water has come into the reservoirs by the recent rains and snows to make the situation entirely safe. The students have been writing, eagerly, asking when the institute would renew work, and it is expected that nearly every one who went away will come back. The interruption has been for three weeks. Plans are under way to make up the lost ground so that the regular work will have been completed by the time of the regular commencement.

FORUM NOTES. The Forum again places us under an obligation. The program was so rich and full, and just enough to please everyone and make you glad you came. We missed Dr. I. Garland Penn, but at some other time he will come. Miss Hoiten, of the Y. W. C. A., lead in the responsive reading. After singing hymn 404, Dr. J. Emerson spoke on "Some Phases of Character." He was very interesting and gave his hearers food for thought. Then Miss G. A. Lattimore presented an appeal for many men that are arrested without charge, and sent to he work house. Mr. Carter of the Urban League had told her the true story, he told her the poor whites without work were sent to the Salvation Army while ours go to the Workhouse and have a criminal record. The Welfare League could not help us, so we had to help ourselves. The Y. M. C. A. donated the basement, the League lent 30 cots and the Forum gave $5.05 to help purchase bedding. Mr. Meyzeek and Miss Mennis gave good talks and if backed with money would right lots of wrongs. Mr. S. O. Johnson gave some points, then the social hour. It was an evening where one forgot the balmy breezes that called them out, but pondered on what to do for the oppressed, our brethern. Sunday, Lawyer Wright will speak on "Ideals." G. A. Lattimore, Pres. A. M. Peytin, Sec. You tell 'em old elephant, you've had a trunk full.
"Independent League" Launched; Lawyer Colbert Heads New Organization
THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO IN LOCAL POLITICS DISCUSSED BY CITIZENS. ATTITUDE OF REPUBLICANS DISCOURAGING. The second call of the temporary chairman, Attorney J. B. Colbert, brought out a large number of representative citizens to the Pythian Temple last Wednesday night, to further discuss matters affecting the Race in Louisville, politically. It was the opinion of every person present that the time had come that the Negro had to think and act for himself in all things politically and otherwise. Several speeches were made in which the present Republican administration was criticised for its failure to recognize to any degree, the worth of the Colored constituency of the party in Louisville, denouncing the machine bosses and their seemingly cut and dried program to give any consideration at all only to the "rough" element of the race in the party. It was the unanimous opinion that unless the Republican party of this city changed its attitude toward the Negro, the Negro should change his attitude toward the party. The course the race should pursue in the coming city election was taken up but after several plans were offered the matter was deferred to a later date. It was decided, however, that in local politics the Negro should vote for men and measures and not parties, and the name of "The Independent League" was adopted. The next meeting of the organization will be held at the Jackson St. M. E. Church, Friday night, February 4. A luncheon will be served free. DOCTORS TO GET APPOINTMENT. As we go to press news comes to us from a reliable source that [two?] colored physicians are to receive appointment as interns in the City [Hospital?]. The appointment is to become a reality after a promise of more than twelve months back.
COLORED HOMELESS MEN TO BE CARED FOR
Through the efforts of Mr. E. A. Carter of the Louisvilel Urban League an important conference was held last Friday morning in the office of Mr. R. A. Hoyer, Secretary of the Community Council, in order to discuss ways and means of caring for the Colored men who are coming to Louisville from other cities further north and are penniless, friendless and homeless. Mr. Carter stated to the conference that it was unfair to the Colored men to give them a criminal record at the workhouse because they were out of work and drew attention to the fact that there were a hundred or more colored men at the workhouse on the charge of vagrancy, many of whom were not criminals but merely unfortunates.
Steps were taken to provide one night's shelter for the colored men in the basement of the Y. M. C. A. for a period of three months, it being the opinion of those present that the present situation would not last longer than that time. Those present at the conference were Mr. Paul Burlingame of Board of Safety, Mr. R. A. Hoyer, Secretary of the Community Council; Mr. William Warley of the N. A. A. C. P.; Ensign Wald of the Salvation Army Hotel and Citadel; Mr. Pat Filburn of the Federal and State Employment Bureau; Mr. Homer Wickenden of the Associated Charities; Mr. Ramsey of the Chestnut St. Branch Y. M. C. A., and Mr. E. A. Carter of Louisville Urban League. The Associated through Mr. Wickenden, offered the loan of twenty-five cots, with pads and blankets, and the Salvation Army offered ten blankets through Ensign Wald, while Mr. Ramsey of the Y. M. C. A., offered the use of the Y. M. C. A. basement for this needed work. Mr. Carter stated that the colored people would provide the sheets and would finance the supervision and the laundry expense and he asked that a special appeal be made in the churches Sunday for funds in order to cover the extra expense needed in order to provide the shelter for the colored Homeless Man.
LEADER'S OUT OF TOWN READERS GET SUBSCRIPTION REDUCTION. All December 1919 contest subscribers and all other out of town readers of the Leader who have been urged several times by letter and through the Leader, to renew their subscription, that is past due, will be cut from our mailing list after this issue. The Leader management has been kind and patient, but because of the cost to publish, cannot possibly carry subscribers who will not pay.

After this week all will be cut from our list until the $2 is paid; however, after May 15 the regular subscription price of $2.50 a year will be charged. THE EDITOR.
