NOBILITY.

True worth is in being. not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Ofgreat things to do by-and-by.
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies Of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right.
Nor can we give pain and feel pleasure,
For Justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing Of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men,.
lis not in the pages Of story
The heart of its ills to oeguile.
Though he who makes courtship glory
Gives all that he hath for smile;
For, when from her heights he has won her.
Alas 1t is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor,
And nothing so loyal as love
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them, like fishes, In nets:
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which it gets;
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing. and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Through envy, through malice, through hating,
Against the world. early and late,
No jot Of our courage abating-
Our part is to work and to wait
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth:
For he who is honest, is noble
Whatever his fortunes Of birth.

The 'cOlored voters in the Third
ward have organized a " Curtis Club !"
and will undoubtedly render much
service during the coming campaign.
Let every town in the First district,
where there are enough Negroes, follow
this example and there will be no
question as to the result.

THE CRIMINAL NEGRO.

!"
attention to the splendid article ap-
pearing in this issue from the pen
of Hon. Nelson G. Crews. Mr..
Crews has long been ranked as one
of the most brilliant of Missouri's
host. In this article he appears
equally as well as writer.
We present this as the beginning
of series of special articles touching
this phase of the great race problem.
Kansas City presents a fair average
of city life among Negroes. 1t is
not so far North to be classed as a
Northern city, nor is it so far South
that one can class it with the South.
1t possesses the characteristic intelli-
gence and business hustle of a
progressive Western city. 1t is in
these cities, if in any, that Negroes
will find it possible to achieve the
the best results in education or busi-
ness, and it f. + % these cities that cne
@ -..s,s 20 to- THE average success

full and unsuccessful Neg. s+b,.a
not with the successful Negro that
this series of articles is expected to
deal.
The criminal element in the race
problem is the one element least taken
into account, and the one that enters
largest into results. We spend vast
sums of money undertaking to acquire
those rights which the glittering
generalities of humanitarians declare
to be inherent. While as a general
proposition all men are born free and
equal, trey are at the same time the
slaves of III the traditions and
prejudices of birth. Men and races
achieve freedom in this world as they
break away from the traditions of the
past and take new and advanced
positions.
The criminal side of the Negro is
a matter of very serious thought.
The great men of the race spend
hours chasing the phantasy of equal
rights while the element of the race
which figures in police and other
courts by their conduct, destroy the
good accomplished by the intelligent
and progressive element There is
no reason to believe that the better
element of Kansas City, Topeka or
st. Joseph cannot in measure re-
strain 1.-THE criminal element We
institute no means to give our
boys and. girls proper surroundings
when they leave our homes. We
open club houses, dancing schools and
places of questionable amusement
where we should have Y. M. G.. AS
and Y. w. C. AS, and host of
other places where boys and girls
come to spend their leisure time.
We regret that Hon. w. B.
Townsend's contribution is so brief
No man in Kansas is better prepared
to speak concerning this element of
our race. We agree with him most
emphatically that the young Negro
fails to grasp the true meaning of
freedom. We shall welcome anv
well written article touching this
very important topic.
