reaches it by slow stages. In every
profession there are a few who lead
by no happy accident of fortune, no
pride of birth, no favor exalted pat
ronage. Their intrinsic merit, mani
tested not as a sudden inspiration nor
as an occasional performance, but day
after day, under the strain of pro-
tracted effort, has put them where
they are. The inferior material in
the cheap mar develops a structural
flaw somewhere and he e to pieces
where the strong man endures and
holds his peace and completes the
work. The highest success comes
from doing things that others can not
do. Here we have the whole secret;
1t Is simple, so be the one man for
the task, and the task will seek you,
and the price that goes with it will
be yours. The greatest lesson nov
to be taught the Negro is thrift, and
a higher morality. We can not sue
coed on the method of "all going out
and nothing coming in" We must
develop more producers, and fewer
spenders if We are to grow. There
are so few to condemn the wrong for
fear of losing friendship. Then there
is the business man, who is afraid of
the loss of patronage, but the man
who will not stand up for the right
for fear of a falling off in his bust
ness has not much business. There
are others who clai INTO be Christians
and leaders who are encouraging the
wrong thing every day because they
want to be popular. We should not
seek popularity, but we should at all
times seek to do right.
The Negro needs to be taught most
to do what is right and bring to what
ever work he may have in hand a
higher purpose. If one is doing work
that is beneath them there is no rea-
son for sighting it. Poor work in
deed is beneath anybody with brains
and a conscience. To dig bitches with
an honest purpose to give a dollars
worth of work for every dollar you
earn is more to ones credit than to
to do office work with the intention
OF doing just enough to hold your po-
sition. Remember that no work can
degrade a worker If he brings to 1t
a high purpose, and that all work lack
ing such a purpose is degrading. We
must begin to study and work out
the real problems affecting us as a
people; we have been grasping at the
straws too long.

49, -
During this year we have been ap-
palled by the great destruction of life
and property upon the land and upon
the sea. Shipwrecks and earthquakes,
t%ornadoes and floods, co~nflagrations
and wars have visited very nearly all
parts of the world and caused great
destruction of life. May not these de-
structive elements be but warnings
to mar to remind hi mthat he has
failed in his stewardship and the end
is nigh eve at the door? May il
not be that we are forgetting our
duty to God and to man? Can the
highest duty that we owe to our fell
low nan be performed when we make
a god of greed for material wealth?
A man owes it to himself to make
all that is possible of his intellectual
powers. Intellectual strength is nee
essary that he may perceive more
clearly his relations to his fellowman
and to his God. He is the greatest
philanthropist who is wise enough to
see his fellows needs and help him.
Every man has a moral nature and
a conscience. He owes 1t to himself
to heed the demands of his moral
nature. Whatever may be the defini-
ton of morals, the nan who does
right as he sees it and avoids the
wrong, is living according to his
highest conception of right and
wrong and develops moral power. No
moral man can be to his fellowman
what he should be. The cultivation
of the spirit of brotherhood tends to
eliminate selfishness, and when men
are tolerant and respectful to others
the result is peace, contentment and
happiness. Whenever human action
is inspired by righteousness and
greed, it produces misery, discomfort
and woe There is little difficulty in
the performance of duties we owe
ourselves. The troubles of life center
in the neglect to perform the obliga-
tons owed to others. Centuries ago
men ~despoiled their neighbors by

THE RACES SALVATION.
By DENNIS S. THOMPSON, Bethel
KaS

kaS.
While this country is all agog over
the matter Of race segregation, there
is another thing that should not be
lost sight of; that while battle is be-
ing made on the outside against con-
ditions that are felt to be a hindrance
to our material welfare, there should
be Just as persistent a fight going
on among ourselves in the effort to
better our condition each day. There
are too many people today thinking
about the things that others are do
ing to them, but never stop to think
about the s%elf-infliced injuries. Too
mueh concern about opposition and
competition may often result in a lack
Of interest in the things that make
for success. The Negro should not
worry over competition.
In the first place, we are not re-
quired to surpass anyone but BUR
selves. To get ahead of another is a
very insignificant matter compared
with getting ahead of our own past

brute force. Today they scheme in
stead of fight, but prey upon one
another Just as in ancient times. One
must help others. There is no com
plete and perfect independence. No
n can live Of, for and by himself.
He must contribute to and acquire
from others. This is the basic prin-
cfple of human existence, but the con-
tribution and the acquisition should
be to prevent rather than to cause
misery. Brethren, aside from the love
and sympathy and care we foster for
those of our faith, we have another
duty to perform which is equally bind
ing-that of helping to conserve the
race. And the king said, rs the
young man Absolam safe?"
Our first stop was at Forrest Green,
where we baptized six. The church
is doing well and is spiritually alive.
The second stop was at Warrensburg.
Rev. A. w. Williams, pastor, IS doing
a great work there, getting his forces
well organized and his work well in
hand. We spent one week with him.
The church and pastor are much en-
couraged. We solicited a box Of gro
ceries and sent to Western college.
Our third stop was at Palmyra, No,
where Rev. Z. D. Greene, the pastor,
is putting his soul into the work and
looking forward for greater results.
We visited the public schools, and
our mind was called to the days in
Western college because of the great
Christian influence that exists there.
We did not forget the Sun on our trip
and the outlook is good.

A Little story From Life.

A Little Story From Life.
When l entered the store at 6 p.
m. on my way home, the proprietor
was sound asleep.
Il stopped to get the lamp which
you promised to have ready for me-"
l began very loudly.
"Oh, yes" he replied, arising from
his seat behind a desk covered with
a three months layer of dust and
a hodge-podge of circulars and papers.
Il cram sorry, but I couldn't find
a burner to fit the size lamp you
| wanted"
We'll" I said, somewhat discour-
aged, that leaves me in a nice fix
for tonight. No light, the stores up
town all closed and Jones across the
street only carries burners and chin
neys.'
Opening his cash drawer he picked
up a nickel and handing it to a little
boy who had sauntered in, said:
Run over to Jones and ask him
to let me have a No. 2 burner. Hurry
up now"
Il am glad to see that you recog-
nize the Importance of not ~disappoint-
ing your customers I ventured as
hope returned.
"Uh-hum!" he grunted.
A few minutes later the phone rang
and I listened to this:
Hello! Yes-what? very loud.
Wait a minute"
Then he turned to me and said:
Jones wants 10 cents for his burn
er. Are you willing to pay a nickel
extra for the OUTFIT"
mo, sir" l replied. you promised
to seel me the complete outfit for
so cents, and you promised to let me
have ittonight, and it's up to you to
do it."
Then over the phone he said:
Never mind, don't get it, and hung
up the receiver with a bang.
Sorry, sir, but I can't pay 10 cents
for a burner wot I can get for 5 cents.
Stop in tomorrow and I'll have it for
you"
As I passed out of the door, I said:
"Never mind, don't bother about
getting n for me tomorrow. Good
night"
Some time later this man was heard
to say:
Its a funny thing why colored
folks don't patternize their own folks
wot run stores"
Moral-Satisfied customers consti-
tute the bone and sinew of every sue
cessful business.
(Sequel-It developed later that
even if this man had paid 10 cents
for the burner and sold the outfit for
80 cents he would still have made a
profit of 4 cents).

record. Competition is an eye open
er, as there are many of us who would
never have discovered the latent pow
er in ourselves If we had not have
found out what others could do. Many
persons W their success to some
rival who first revealed to them their
own reserves. Instead of worrying
over competition we should be glad of
it, since 1t is so often an incentive for
us to do our best. And If in doing
u best we are outdistanced by
another, that is nothing to be ashamed
of. Many of the difficulties with
which we meet reveal us to ourselves;
not only do they expose our weak.
nesses but they bring to the surface
the hidden strength we should never
have discovered without their aid.
Necessity, kind when she seems the
s%ternest, uses our hardships to reveal
possibilities within us of which we
have never dreamed.

well for us to protest against segre-
cation, of the nature hat is now prev
alent among the employees in the gov
eminent departments at Washington,
but when it narrows down to the seq
regated district in the city, then there
are instances that We, as a race, must
begin to study. In every citl and
town in many rural districts where
there are many Negroes of conse-
quence, the Negroes have segregated
themselves into certain parts, where
crap shooting, policy playing, liquor
%peddling, the peddling of deadly drugs,
is the height of many Of their ambi-
tions. They like it, because some
make money out of it at the expense
and discomfort o fthe others. 1t is
a sad, sad story, but it is true; we
can never be a people until we over
come some of these habits that are
so detrimental to us. Too many want
to make quick money and an easy liv-

The offices of the firm are in the Fleming building with J. A. Vicknair
 in charge MT. Vicknair remains here the greater part of his time. He was among the first to appl eciate the op- portunities the Las Cruces country offered as a result of the construc
 tion of the Elephant Butte Dam for
 irrigation purposes by Uncle Sam;
 he has not only become a heavy in vestor there himself but has sue cessfully handled the sales of num-
 Der of the best additions in Las Cruces.
 He says he finds the people of Ari zona ready investors at the present
 low prices made possible because of the project not vet being completed, vet with the assurance of the govern,
 ment that it will be within a year
 They have as an object lesson the
 wonderful opportunities Phoenix and
 the Salt River Valley offered, and the marvellous returns realized by some who invested prior to the completion of the Roosevelt Dam, as well as the present opportunities for most satisfactory investments throughout
 the valley MT. Vicknair is very much
 impressed with the Salt River Valley and looks forward to the time when Las Cruces and surrounding country will be one of the second beauty spots of the west.

 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This. like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in it's pages, allowing to each side at least half column daily for signed articles. for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.
 It is only stipulated that the com nunications for and against prohibi-
