"LITTLE THINGS. -

When travelling any country roads
you will notice all along sign posts di-
recting or pointing out the route to
certain places. If one is careful to fol-
low instructions there is little chance of
Missing their destinations; on the other
hand if one should overlook one of these
sign posts he is likely to double his
journey or so delay himself that he
cannot accomplish his mission when he
reaches his journeys end.
AS our country rods are marked with
sign posts of directions: Even so the
road to success in this world and ever
lasting peace in the world to come is
marked by sign posts of little things.
The big things of life will never
need for volunteers there are always
numbers waiting for an opportunity,
prepared or unprepared. All are eager
and ready to take hold but the little
deeds that make the sauce of human
existence are oftimes forgotten. A word
of cheer and encouragement to the low
ly in spirit, respect to the aged and
ministering to the sick and unfortunate
are among the mang sign posts of little
things. Sometimes in an effort to reach
certain goal one may overlook a sign
post-just as the traveller is made to
suffer so must he, that fail to do the
little things that come into his path
The goal may seem to be just beyond
the sign post and a few minutes stop
to do some little deed of kindness or
duty along the way may seem to i'm
peril success; yet let not the opportu-
nifty pass. Take a lesson from the
Knight Of the Holy Cross starting out
in the prime of life. To search for the
Holy Grail. He passed his first mile
post at his castle gate in the form Of a
poor beggar soliciting aims So intent
was he on the success of his undertak.
ing that he failed to notice it. He
thought he had no time to lose even to
do deed Of kindness; so he threw a
few coins which scattered here and
there upon the ground not even looking
back to see if the stranger picked them
up. Away he sped on the quest. Had
he stopped to give cup Of water, a
morsel Of bread or word of cheer to
this beggar his quest would have ended
here. He could have re-entered the
castle still in the prime Of life, but like
all mortals that overlook the sign post
Of little things he had to 90 through
the process of suffering to bring his bet
ter self to light. His life was spent in
search until pride was humbled spirit
broken. Then he returned to the castle,
finding the beggar still at the gate he
ministered to him. Here his quest end
ed he found the cup for which he had
80 many wearn years search; at the
first sign post of little things.

woman it is surprising how much i'm

uthis Young man is worth two Million

Marcus Garvey, young man from
the West Indies in the spring OF lsls
rented an abandoned church basement
in the center Of Harlem, New YORK
CITY and began agitations to start
steamship company to be controlled
and owned by colored men. He was
treated as a joke-He was criticized,
analized and even shot before the year
ended his dreams were realized and the
first ship is NOW afioat. The project
was supported most largely by colored
people from the West Indies. Very
likely other ships by this same COM
pany will soon be plowing the seas.
Colored businessmen have begun
trading with African and South Amer
lean peoples. Business concerns to trade
in African rubber and wood are being
organized at this time.

A colored man was working on a
city street but stopped his work long

He asked all the white men to change
it, but merely looked the colored man
in the face and passed on. The colored
man became indignant and said, that
white man did not ask me to change
his money because T am colored
man and he thinks I haven t any

business and died worth $4,000.

POLITICS BY DIR. W. H. LOWRY.

The greatest political campaign II
the history Of the country in its be
ginning. Several organizations have re-
moved their gum shoes and are now
stalking about openly declaring them
selves in favor Of some issue or particu'
lar candidate. Many Of these organi-
cations are ready to throw their sup
port to any major party that Will give
ear to their argument.
The Negroes occupy q unique place
in the political world. They are loo
per cent republican. This is because
the republican party guarantees them
the best protection.
But strange to say, the southern Ne.
proes who are oppressed because OF
rigid disfranchise laws have received
recognition equal in standing to that
of the northern Negroes who have all
right of franchise. This may be ac-
counted for on the grounds that the
southern Negro delegates play an i'm.
portant role in the republican national
convention. There are always few
astute Negro politicians from the south
who are able to swing the southern
delegation into the columns of the fav-
Horite candidate. These men in return
are given the power to dictate federal
appointment Of one or more men from
their race. For instance Tennessee has
furnished the race register of the
treasury. Georgia has furnished a regis
ter of the treasury and recorder OF
deeds. South Carolina has furnished col
lectors of custom.
In local affairs the Negroes must
look to the primaries for their laurels.
They must learn to see the business
side of politics. They must eliminate
individualism and adhere to organiza-
tion. They must learn to pick repre-
sentative position and center upon a
competent Negro for the place. They
must learn to support the candidate
who has the courage to make the ap-
pointment. If the candidate fails to
live up to his promise the Negroes must
learn to withdraw their support from
that oficeholder and strive to nominate
another candidate for his place. This
system of elimination if properly ear
ried out from year to year will cause
some candidate or officeholder to awak-
en- to his sense of duty.
Above all, Negroes must be conserva-
tive in their political activities. It is
unwise to 60 about seeking multitude
Of appointments. It is as equally I'M
wise to try to place all deserving Ne
groes in the same Office at the same
time.
There should be well organized
plan to encourage Negro voters to reg
lister. Many voters are automatically
disfranchised because they fail to reg
lister. See that every voter registrs
and TIM on election day, guard the
poles, because the politicians will drag
forth every man who has the power to
vote.

A WORTHY CAUSE cHAMP1oNED

The, appropriation of $112 made by
the Roosevelt Community club in favor
Of the treasury Of the Delta Sigma
Theta sorority of the State University
Of Iowa marks new epoch in the his
tory of education of the Negro race in
Iowa.
The Bystander is pleased to note
that the well thinking men of the COM
munity are rallying to the aid of the
young woman of the state who are
striving to educate themselves. It re-
quires brave girls to make their way
through college alone. Were it not so
the universities would be crowded to
capacity and the high schools would
not be able to take care of the rush.
The club women of the state are do
ing great part by these girls by fur
nishing them home. When the men
of the state become thoroughly aroused
to their duty in assisting the youth in
an educational way a greater work will
be accomplished.
The Bystander will be pleased to
hear from other men IS club following
the pace set by the Roosevelt Commu-
nifty club.

OBSERVATIONS OF RACIAL
PROGRESS MADE BY DIR. T. L.
GRIFFITH IN HIS TRAVELS

The municipal building of Toronto,
Canada, contains life-sized portraits of
all it's mayors, and few portraits of
the most prominent controllers. One
of the few controllers having this dis
tinction is Mr.. Hubbard, d colored
man. It was told to me that there wele
very few Toronto citizens Of more in
fuence than Mr.. Hubbard. His son is
one of the attorneys of the street rail
way company, and his salary is several
thousand dollars per year.
Speaking of Toronto, I become in
terested in the University avenue Bap-
tist church. This church was organ
lied over eighty-fve years ago. I ex-
amined the published records in the
city library. These records show that
when the church was organized they
"stimulated a few white people that
! attended their services to start out fol-
themselves; from the latter the OLD
Bond street church originated, and
from that the present magnificent anG
wealthy Jarvis street church and from
this again all the other Baptist
churches At present there are for

ST. PAUL A. M. e. CHURCH NOTES
It is grand privilege to live IN snls
day, and much grander privilege to
be permitted to work out the plans
that have been laid down by the re-
constructionist Much of the work to
be done by the Negroes will be con-
structive rather than reconstructive
and broad foundation must be laid
upon which our social superstructures
must be reared. Negroes must work
out a most tangible idea of the mean
ing of society. A deeper regard for
things spiritual, for morality and the
forming Of social groups which are in
sympathy with and which stand for
certain ideals-until this is done I'VE
shall always be held up as hypocrrs
and false pretenders and without a so.
cial pedigree. ....

that. when a man or woman cease to be
interested in little things he very soon
oyerestimates his power with the result
that he will, build impossible aircastles
