Subscribe for the Iowa State By (Special to Bystander.) (special by Bysherman.) The feeling of the people has run high since the President acted on the hard-won case, the loss of hard things, and the color of hairs. I will right here, with all respect to Gen. Garlington and the president, I do not believe the colored soldiers guilty as charged. I understand there were 167 men in all; if 167 colored men stood pat on agreed plans, the colored men will his white neighbors and officers, its first time in the country's history that the white man has not found a "Judas" among that number. It has always been a weakness of the colored man wherever 3, 4 or 5 knew a thing about some others, the white man has always been knocking. It is, however, a mistaken idea that the people have of the colored men of this country, that they want to shield crime. There is no class or race of people farther from the shielding of crime than the Negro race. What is hurting the entire race is they have been charged. The colored man wants to be stood before the courts and tried according to law and evidence found in every case. But, because one man commits a crime for which perhaps he should hang, not persecute that one man. Because a charged man, it has been said that the race is unfaithful and ungrateful to the President, and the question is being asked every day why the entire race is so worked up this matter? We answer the question by calling your attention to the 560 men and women put to death in the last years by mob violence, as follows: 1901, 185, 1902, 96; 1903, 104, 1944, 57; 1905, 65; 1906, 73. without a chance to come before the courts, or even being asked a question by the courts, lest more a trial. This brings them to think the epidemic has struck the president, whom he the president friend and they have on the American continent. And this is why the whole race calls like one man, why persecute us? Why not take time, hunt the guilty and prosecute them? But, Mr. Editor, with two exceptions, I think this a blessing to the president of these men are to suffer; second because the colored vote at this time is so disorganized. This matter will, however, make the colored man stronger in every particular. They will have more respect for their professional men. They will spend more money than they have begun to say here in Washington. I never had a colored doctor in my house. I never had a colored lawyer, I never had very much respect for colored preachers, and do business say, now we are going to business with them on the Brownsville affair, it has been said the whole race is lazy, indolent and indifferent. I beg to differ. I want to call your attention to a little thing that happened two years ago in New York City. In one of the resident parts of the city people were renting a very nice flat. At once rebellious feeling sprang up among the whites and these said these colored people must leave the street, and the agent was ordered to put them out. A few colored men formed a syndicate, costing 160,000 hours they felt in question, put it in repairs and had a sinking fund of $50,000. They then refiled the flat with the best colored tenants, and are now receiving rent for the same. The Washington Post in speaking of this affair, says they would fight for the Negro. I also show from the following figures, the wealth of the Negro by states and territories. Wealth of Negroes By States States Homes Owned Wealth Alabama 23,536 $71,346,000 Arizona 85 1,123,600 Arkansas 16,838 30,721,200 California 21,606 21,606,000 Colorado 462 820,800 Correctional 599 1,321,200 Delaware 1,297 2,405,600 District of Columbia 3,964 35,507,600 Florida 14,121 80,284,000 Georgia 26,603 80,284,000 Hawaii 16 32,140,000 Illinois 4,479 17,696,000 Indiana 3,515 15,102,400 Indian Territory 3,509 12,942,400 Iowa 1,456 11,568,400 Kansas 5,489 14,791,400 Kentucky 14,906 34,124,400 Louisiana 20,483 56,106,400 Michigan 121 116,800 Maryland 14,976 48,122,000 Massachusetts 174 2,752,000 Mississippi 28,855 77,122,000 Minnesota 140 1,633,600 Missouri 9,535 29,911,400 Michigan 1,573 1,482,400 Montana 75 1,155,400 Nebraska 250 506,200 New Jersey 83 20,800 New Jersey 2,588 15,573,800 New York 2,213 48,392,800 New Mexico 144 114,400 North Carolina 29,011 48,383,800 North Dakota 26 48,380 Ohio 6,927 10,896,800 Oklahoma 2,530 1,688,400 Oregon 49 768,700 Nevada 3,978 42,419,800 Rhode Island 319 848,000 South Carolina 26,870 44,208,800 South Dakota 46 42,800 Tennessee 21,023 37,570,900 Texas 33,228 47,766,900 Utah 19 47,900 Vermont 49 61,609 Virginia 46,268 51,412,900 Washington 161 226,400 West Virginia 1,983 236,400 Wisconsin 167 4,240,000 Wyoming 82 64,000 *$766,036 $937,800* The sublined statistics taken from the census report of 1900 exhibits a most interesting and healthy condition of the Negroes. State statistics does not include church property which it valued at approximately $100,000. Now, Mr. Editor, this showing as you will notice is the census of 1900. They now have six years of wealth yet, not accounted for. We want to ask the people of this country. If these figures alone do not show that all the colored people have not been the laurel laurel. I called a congressman's attention to these figures, few days ago and he told me the most wonderful thing he had ever read and said he had not given it a thought that the colored people had accumulated that much wealth in this country. When you read the following clipping from Mr. Tillman's speech in the senate January 12, you will observe that the progress of the TWO Bystander ffi Negro, both in education and wealth, is a moral cause for this prejudice. Israel has "In six southern states (South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana) in the aggregate, the Negroes outnumber the South Carolina and Mississippi (the Negro preponderance is very heavy. Legal Rights of the Negro. "Under the law these people possess every right that white men have as far as the constitution confers rights, and the fifteenth amendment expresses the enchantment of the law which she enacts of voting on account of race or color." Large numbers of these *Jegrees* are disfranchised at this time, but these laws are only temporary and work no cure, and in the near future they will be made to make inevitable the struggle for mastery between the races." A short while ago a few congressmen were discussing the ability of the Negro to govern, and they decided he was unable to do so. I called their attention to a little town in the state where they were 6,000 inhabitants, a goodly portion white, governed entirely by Negroes. They have mixed schools and mixed teachers. They also have the best equipped Y. M. C. A. among Negroes in the United States and one of the best governed town in the state. So well governed they were not known. It is not known. I told the gentlemen that that was a great thing to say of a state having less literacy than any other state in the Union. Its illiteracy being only 2 per cent. I asked them how this blending could be accomplished. They never answered the question. Then I told them it was because both races were trying to do the thing that is right. The response was, "I guess that is so." The following article will show how our friends seek trouble when we are peaceable. Washington Record, January 18. "Representative James O'Hanlon Patterson of the Beaufort, S. C. district, says that he came near ignoring the restaurant at the house restaurant. Mr. Patterson entered the restaurant at the lunch hour when the place was crowded. Seated at one of the tables was a very dark skinned colored man and a couple of white women of apparent refinement and respectability. The brother in the most friendly fashion, and apparently treating him as an equal. Mr. Patterson states that he was amazed at the sight. He called a waiter and asked him who the interloper was. The waiter said that he was a minister from Boston, and then asked him to "my first impulse," said the representative from the palmetto state, in speaking of the matter afterwards, "was to go over and interview that Boston clergyman, as it was a practical demonstration of the social equality of the races that grated on him." However, I refrained by an effort, from making an unseemly exhibition of myself and sought the manager of the restaurant for an explanation. To my astonishment he told me that the portion of the restaurant set aside for the general public was free and that he was powerless to prevent such an exhibition of social equality as that which so enraged me. "Boston may tolerate such things, but they are galling to those who know how prone the Negro is to take advantage of the courage in the matter of social equality. Such an incident could never happen in South Carolina." KEOKUK NOTES. Mrs. M.

The common people fear above everything the hospital, says the Paris Eclair. They are badly received and questions are put to them in a loud voice in the presence of patients, students and visitors. The modesty of women is also a concern, and have the right to demand when they are under examination the observation of the elementary laws of modesty; they have also the right to demand of doctors professional secrecy. Salt-free Diet for Epileptics. The suppression of alimentary salt the diet of epileptics has a favorable effect on epileptic seizures, inasmuch as it reduces their frequency and their severity. It is of the same value in the treatment of epilepsy as the strict observance of dietic and hygiestic factors. The latter is of considerable in restraining and controlling the seizures.—N. Y. Medical Journal. Why Be Pessimistic? Like an individual, a nation cannot expect to be healthy or happy, which so to speak, is forever feeling its own pulse and looking at its tongue in the glass.

Sex Proportion In America The United States has a greater excess of male inhabitants than is found in any other country in the civilized world. The reason is that immigration brings far more men than women. A Dangerous Case. One of the surgeons of a hospital asked an Irish help which he considered the most dangerous of the many cases then in the hospital. "That, sir," said Patrick, as he pointed to a case of surgical instruments. Manner Mean Much.

Sometimes ago I was honored by being appointed editor or this club de portment, and I take literally the first day half hour I had since to take charge of it. Having carried on this work, I shall not address you as a new editor, but as an old friend. I therefore extend greetings most cordial to the club world as this the opening of the new year and good wishes for the continued growth and prosperity of all club enterprise. Let us make it the most wiser most kindly of the club movement. capital year of the club movement. The outward union implied by the word Federation must make close the union of hearts, for brotherhood is not a creed, as some think, but a feeling. We can't preach it effectively unless we have it. We must not forget that while the state is a great organization its strength lies in the individual clubs which compose it. The root, branch and leafage of this work is in the clubs, the Federation is only the splendid bloom. If we would have a good Federation we must first have good, widensake, working clubs. Clubs who are actually doing something for the uplifting of the race. True worth is in being, not seeming, in doing each day that goes by. Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do bye and bye. Dear sister, up and at the work Make your club a center from which will radiate influence that will strengthen, broaden and elevate, first aspiring the home life and thus the entire community. Nothing is so stimulating as to meet together exchanging methods, ideas, hopes and alms, it seems to my jig that the three-minute flashlight reports from clubs are the most valuable, entertaining and inspiring events of our Federation. "Coming events cast their shadow." What about your club report for the coming meeting? Will it be entertaining and inspiring? WAYA AND MEANS COMMITTEE. The president has recently appointed Mrs. Phoebe Cook, Boxton, chairman of a Ways and Means Committee. This committee will have one member in each club, who shall make a monthly report of all money collected. The duty of this committee is to raise money to replenish the treasury. At present this is the most important of all our state committees, for the Federation is greatly in need of funds to carry on this work. It is earnestly hoped that each club will take this committee to heart and help them. Appoint some one in your club to work on this committee and then solicit or give an entertainment, or donate something that can be sold and money turned over to this committee. In some of the southern women's clubs the women do not have money to help carry on this work, so they bring what they have, a few potatoes, a few eggs, a chicken, etc., and these are sold like linen ghost this money question will not down, let us use every means to replenish our treasury, so that our minutes can be printed without delay after our next meeting. DOMESTIC ECONOMY. Domestic, belonging to the house or home; economy; from two Greek words signifying a house or family laws—that which relates to the family concerns of a household, and the disposal or arrangements of an, household work. Domestic science is the foundation of the home ideal and practical. A home should be something more than a place in which to eat and sleep. The term domestic science is a most comprehensive one, embracing it may be said, every phase of human life. Hence every thought, idea or agency that has for its end the upbuilding and improvement of the home should receive the encouragement and help of humanity in general. The Domestic Science committee realise that they cannot cover the entire study in so short a time, but have formed a few short studies on the following subjects, which they will send, urgently, to clubs desiring to take up this work. 1 "Pare food laws." 2 "Food and its functions, why we must eat to live." 3 Injuries to health from adulterations of food. 4 Here and about the house. 5 Food value. 6 Varieties of flour. The committee also want each to have a cooking. They are so helpful. QALESBURG, ILL., NEWS. Lorn to Mr. and Mrs. John Britton a daughter.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life. "Don't trifle with a cold," is good advice for prudent men and women. Proper food, good ventilation, and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordinary colds will be light. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold. Whether it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is safe and sure. The great popularity and immense sale of this preparation has been attained by its remarkable cures of this ailments. A cold never results in pneumonia when it is given.
