THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
TRAVELLING
B, MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

A good custom is better than . law
Euripides.
0UR friends are beginning to travel
~ again.
Now it is more like old times, and
If our friends 60 abroad they 60 with
lighter hearts and with more baggage.
Therefore it Is quite the thing to give
them little gifts and, II they want US
to, to see them off. Be sure, though,
that you are wanted. Nothing Is more
embarrassing than to arrive unexpect-
edly on the deck of q steamer to find
the friend you have gone to see off
surrounded by an invited party of
which you are not member. So don't
60 unless you are quite certain that
you are wanted, both for your sake
and for the sake Of the traveller.
As for the gifts you send, be sure
that they are really desirable, and not
merely something that will fill up the
steamer trunk and bags. If you know
Of some travelling accessory Of which
your friend stands in need, that Is q
good choice. A book il never amiss
because after it is read it can be left
on shipboard If it ia in the way.
Candy, although it is a conventional
present, and one Of the few things that
a man is supposed to give to a woman,
is nevertheless not very good choice.
A great many persons even though
they enjoy ocean travel are particu-
larry careful not to indulge in sweets.
Flowers, another Of the conventional
gifts of men to women, are always in
perfectly good taste. However, they
are sometimes in the way in the state
room. If you know that anyone dis
likes flowers on the steamer don't send
them.
As in all other cases where gifts are
concerned a man may send flowers,
candy or books to woman. Books
in this case include magazines, and
sometimes half dozen current maya
zines are as welcome gift as anyone
could receive. They provide just the
kind of reading that some people like
on shipboard and can be discarded
without a qualm when their reader is
through with them.

AN ANSWER
(From The Union.)


THE UNION is now an independ-
ent paper, the organ of no party,
church or lodge.
1t is opposed to the Ku Klux Khan.
For judges, we favor the Repub-
lican candidates, Bell, Alexander,
Eyrich. We know them personally,
and have always found them dis
posed to do the square thing.
We have nothing to say against
the Democratic candidates, except
that we do not know them.
We can say the same concerning
Mr.. Lehman, Democratic candidate
for auditor. Mr.. Alfred E. Decke-
bach, Republican candidate, is all
right towards colored people, and
does not have an attack of blind
staggers, should he meet one in the
streets after the election.
In regard to the bond issues, the
opinion of Seasongood, an ex-mem-
Der of the Republican committee, is
worthy of consideration.
Naturally, if they fail of passage,
the police department, fire depart
ment and street improvements will
suffer. "But we should worry" We
colored people have no part in gov
erning this city. We can vote, we
can "shoot craps" and we can derive
great food for thought in looking at
the houses of prostitution in the
West End. But when we think of
the rent and taxes, when we think
of the colored men who will be en-
ployed as 'laborers to do the work
that few white men want, when we
think Of the little handful of col
ored police, kept way out on the hill,
far from the rich pickings of the
downtown wards, when we think of
the number of fire companies and
firemen in this city and not a single
one of them colored! We should say,
and we do say, about those bond is
sues. H.! 1--WE SHOULD WOR-
RY."-Dabney.

WHERE THE RAINBOW
TOUCHES THE GROUND

THE family cat died. The farmer
i who owned the cat, in digging
the grave discovered q substance
which proved to be mari. This
farmer had been hauling limestone
a long distance for his alfalfa
fields. In conference with his
county agent, he discovered that
mari would take the place OF lime
in correcting the acidity of his soil.
This experience led him to the use
of mari that existed on his own
farm and saved him much time and
considerable expense in hauling.
Similar opportunities have ex-
listed and still exist. Many farmers
in the middle west will recall what
a pest sweet clover used to be.
Now this pest is being used profit
ably as hay and pasture for live
stock and as a crop to be plowed
under for increasing the fertility
of the soil.
Kansas is called the "Sunfiower
State" and those who have lived
there will well remember how they
have fought this weed. Today SUM-
flowers are being grown as a crop,
as feed for chickens and it Is also
being utilized with or without corn
as a suitable crop for the silo.
It is surprising to discover how
many things which were frowned
upon in days gone by are now
serving a useful purpose. These
changes have been brought about
by observation and study. Brains
count on the farm as elsewhere.
The man who thinks while he Is
performing physical work is not
only opening up the way for larger
profits but he is removing the word
drudgery from his vocabulary and
is Transforming what used to be
drudgery into a profitable pleasure.

POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

"a Philadelphia man, wanting TO
get a good school started, once wrote
and circulated pamphlet, crediting
the project, not to himselfs but to
some public-spirited gentleman,
avoiding as much as could, accord
ing to my usual rule, of presenting
myself to the public as the author OF
anv scheme for their benefit That
WIS Benjamin Franklin, the year
1749, and the quoted words are from
Franklin's autobiography. This be-
ing the open season for projects, we
commend his method to those setting
forth on enterprises for the public
benefit. Folks like to boost good
cause, but don't care about boosting
it's agents and officers"
The above quotation was taken
from Golfers. AS the politically in
clined are looking forward to the
coming struggle, we think it is a
most excellent one to keep in mind.
Our group locally has suffered
most acutely from the lack Of spirit
of individual modesty. If a move
ment is put forth, if law is put
through, if an organization is estab-
lished which has a potential force
for good, Immediately the few who
have taken unto themselves the die
tatorship of all things racial, jump
into the limelight, and the good of
the cause is forgotten in the struggle
that ensues over the leadership. The
enthusiasm which leaders so fire.
quently feel necessary to carry out
an inspiration makes them lose sight
of the part the followers are to play,
which causes a loss of confidence in
the ranl and disrupts the organiza
ton. Nearly all the movements for
the general good have suffered mate
rally because of this spirit. 1t
would be amusing if it were not so
far-reaching in it's effect to contem-
plate upon such leadership. First
they take every means available to
impress upon our people that they
are loyal to their Race, and then they
seize every opportunity to entrench
themselves as tools for the other
group. Racial adjustment means to
them racial inferiority.
With the approaching election
there will arise need for cooperation
between all our various organiza-
tions- civic, religious and fraternal-
the leadership of which must reflect
the judgment of Che majority, rather
than the individual aspirations of the
self-appointed leaders. At the pres
ent time we are facing political
crisis. Never before has there been
such dissension and revolt in the
ranks of the old line parties. If we
are to make our political organiza-
tion reflect the wishes of the major
ity, we must lay aside our petty
striving for leadership, and unite in
one concerted effort to make our in
fluence felt.
