evidences Of growth are always a slow
and tedious process, in the individual
as in the race and nation. The Ma
tional Negro Business league was
organized in Boston thirteen years
ago. Its growth has been progressive,
and the good it has accomplished by
precept rather than example has been
more far reaching than its organizers
could have dreamed Of. 1t has had
but one president, two chairmen of
the executive committee and two
treasurers since its organization a.
though the membership has steadily
increased in numbers and improved In
character. The business activities OF
the race have been vitalized and ex.
banded with the years, SO that where
they were but few they are now to be
found in every nook and corner Of the
republic. modest indeed but full OF
the promise of large growth. The
business league has blazed the way
for them, and will continue to do so.
II our business men are wise enough
to keep it alive in the future, when
they no longer need to be led in the
way they should go.

Our own ministers and devoted lay

up their own work Of race uplift, of

women, who are engaged in the work,
or assisting it, of reaching the man
and woman of the race in the street,
whether they be on the downward
way or are slowly falling to it. And
we have this assurance amply demon
strated, that five will begin the good
work, even by organizing to do it and
putting in our pennies, plenty OF
white people with plenty Of money
will be drawn to it and amply assist

CLAY CENTER CAUGHT
AsLEEP AT THE SWITCH

The following impertinent article
is taken from the Clay Center Times;
abilene is to have ss slight
poles in the white way OF the busi-
ness section Of town Clay Center
win have 43 slight poles. Abilene's
lights are not as bright as the five
lights on Clay Center's poles. The
poles at Abilene are to be made OF
cement. Clay Center's poles are
made of iron. The poles to be
erected in Clay Center are works OF
art, so much prettier than Abilene's
poles that there is no comparison.
When we do a thing in Clay Center
we do 1t right"
The truth of the whole matter ID
that Clay Center was caught nap
ping and some wideawake salesman
slipped off bunch of junk on the
dear people from some iron works.
In looking up the family history OF
the iron light poles we find them
classed with the kith and KIN Wnlch
were sathered up two by two and
seven by seven and marched into the
ark by our old friend Noah. The
iron light post was used to light
the Garden of Eden. The cement
post Is one of the modern inven-
tions. The government is busy now
erecting a cement light post every
hundred yards along the route OF
| the Panama canal. It's a fact tnat
every iron pole which has done
valiant service for the government
in the vicinity of public buildings
for the last century and half is
now being replaced by cement poles.
The people of Clay Center Will
wake up some day and find out
about it and there really isn't any
crying demand for the consoling
Edope aished out by the Times. In
the meantime 3S up-to-the-minute
cement posts are being made for the
Abilene whiteway and Abilene Will
continue wideawake in its public i'm
provements.
