EDITORIALS. Next Monday is our school election, and it behooves the voters, especially those interested in maintaining the high efficiency and business ability of the present management since the consolidation of the East, West and North to unite into one. We should see that all sections are represented so far as possible. Then look to the man and his qualification. Then again know if he is frivolous to a colored teacher, if one should qualify and apply. The time has come when our young girls should qualify and apply and we men support then Our race is entitled to at least two teachers in the public schools of this city. TAFT AND TIE NEGRO. TAFT AND THE NEGRO. The struggle among the republican party to select a standard bearer for their party for 1908. There are many active candidates and each have their supporters but there is one who seems to be in the lead and will, we predict, be nominated, that man is Hon. William Taft; Secretary of war in Pes dent Roosevelt's cabinet, and just now for some political reasons, some of our colored journals are publishing articles against Secretary Taft's nomination, inciting prejudice against him, and when they are sounded and asked to give their reason or what public act did Taft do against the race they cannot say except he is Roosevelt's candidate and that he would be like him, as he carried his order to dismiss the colored soldiers. This was an order, and he, like other officia's must obey orders. We also know that he held the summary order up several days until he got a second order to execute it. That to a degree shows his attitude if left to him. In short, he has never spoke, written or uttered his voice against the Negro's interest. Of course those newspapers who are trying to prejudice the colored people against him are not republicans; they are hypocris, mud-singers and demagogues. Most of them are edited by Negro democrats or disappointed office seekers. The Bystander believes that the republican journals should discuss the merits and demerits in kemerits in honest and manly way, but don't be led by our enemies or those who seek to divide us. Below we publish a letter from Mr Taft which appeared in the Indianapolis Freemad: War Department, Washington. My Dear Sire—I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of January 11th, together with enclosure from the Cleveland Journal. My attitude toward the Negro and the war amendments—the 13th, 14th and 15th—stated fully in my Tuskegee speech and also in my Lexington speech. The Lexington speech removes, I hope, some misconceptions that seem to have arisen in respect to my view of the 15th amendment, but I do not suppose that those who are seeking to use the race issues against me will cease to misconstrue my attitude or to arouse as much prejudice against me as possible. It is a painful experience when one has much at heart the welfare of an unfortunate and struggling race, and has done what he could to assist them, and has inherited from his father the deep sympathy of abolition days, to find him-elf held up to execution by many of the race at the instance of persons who should know better. But it neither discourages nor surprises me. It is an injustice that others have had to bear, and it does not affect in the slightest degree my earnest and hopefulness for a betterment of the Negro people of the United States, and makes me especially grateful to one, having your influence and standing in the race, for the position which you have taken. I am, sir, with respect, Sinceely yours, JOHN R. LYNCH MAY BE RETIRED. It is with regret that we learn that Maj. John R. Lauch, U. S. Paymaster, now stationed at Manilla, P. I. has been ordered before the U. S. Retiring board, because of failure to take the riding test prescribed by the war department. We hope that he may be excused from such a rigid test as he is near the period of retirement by virtue of age and services. Major Lynch is one of the old guards of the reconstruction period. He is from Mississippi, having been elected several times a member of the legislature, also three terms in Congress of the U. S, and is the only colored man ever selected temporary chairman of the National Republican convention that was held in Chicago in 1884, which nominated James G. Blaine. President McKinley appointed him Paymaster at the outbreak of the Spanish American war, later he joined the regular army and was promoted to Captaincy, and later to the rank of Major. Our Des Moines people have heard him speak on several occasions in our city a few years ago when he was stationed at Omaha, Neb. HIS ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. Schramm's announcement is as follows: At the solicitation of many persons, friends, taxpayers and voters, "from all walks in life," I have finally entered to the race for commissioner under the new or Des Moines plan of city government. I do not intend to inflict on an already overburdened, but patient and long suffering public, a lengthy platform upon which to base my candidacy. As city assessor it has been my constant effort to see that the burden of taxation rested on all, in proportion to their means, and, as commissioner, I would try to the best of my ability to see that the people received full value for the taxes paid in the administration of the city's affairs. During my time in office I have made no entangling alliances, either business or otherwise, and I do not intend to appeal to prejudice in order to gain votes. I am not allied with any other candidate or candidates, and have not, or will not, make any promises except to combat wrong either in public service or private corporate interests, as well as individual, non-corporate or business interests or wherever else found; and do my best at all times to make the Des Moines plan a success.

I have found by personal experience that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues. In my work I have had occasion to recommend it freely, especially to women. I know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact, all the alliances peculiar to women, so I am pleased to give it my hearty endorsement."

Iowa City.—Word has just been received at the State University of Iowa from the qualifying examinations taken Jan. 21 and 22 by candidates for Rhodes scholarships. Six took the examination at Iowa City, and now word comes direct from Oxford, England, that the following three have qualified: John I. Huff, now a student at the State University of Iowa, whose home is in Muscatine; Jacob A. O. Larson, of Muscatine, new in attendance at Luther College; William B. Millen, who has taken bachelor's degree at Cornell college, and is now superintendent of schools at Columbus Junction. Charles A. Springs, of Monmouth college, took the examination here in January, but as he elected to compete from Illinois, word has not been received here whether he was successful or not. The committee for awarding Rhodes scholarships from the state of Iowa will select one from them who have qualified. In making their selection, consider scholarship athletic ability, morality, and power of leadership. The three men who have qualified are good, all around men. Mr. Huff is a graduate of Muscatine High school and Muscatine Business college. In the university of Iowa, he has been identified with many college activities. He has been a member of Irving institute, and has been on the Daily Iowan staff. In athletics he has taken part in baseball, basketball and swimming. Mr. Larson, of Luther college, is an active member of a literary society there. He has represented his college in tennis contests, and has played on the second basketball team. Mr. Millen played center field on his college baseball team for four years, and was manager of the team for one year. CHARGE AGAINST BANKERS Surprise Sprung in Hearing at Marshalltown. Marshalltown.—A surprise was sprung in the cases of the Green Mountain Savings bank officers when additional informations were filed by E. F. Roberts of the state auditor's office, against both President Quartz B. MacDiarmid and Cashier Donald A. Johnson. MacDiarmid is charged with perjury, embezzlement and conspiracy with Director E. L. Collins, Auditor Helen J. Edwards and Cashier Johnson to keep the bank open when they knew it to be insolvent. The charge of perjury was also lodged against Johnson, specifically that he made avidifi to the auditor of state that he owned ten shares of stock fully paid up, when in reality he owned only one share. MacDiarmid is alleged to have made an avidifi that the amount of his bank stock was sixty shares paid up which is now claimed to be false. The embezzlement charge against MacDiarmid is to the effect that he obtained a loan of $1,500 without the approval or authority of the board of directors. Johnson's heirs on the charge of acceptingpons when he knew the bank insolvent was begun. Four wifes were examined behind closed doors. Leland Windsor, state bank examiner, testified to Johnson's knowledge of insolvency by virtue of his position and indicated by statements that he made to Windsor when he was conducting the examination into the bank's affairs. LOCAL FIRM GETS IT. Stock of Defunct Department Store is Sold. Des Moines.—Bidding $74,500, F. J. Benthey of Chicago secured the entire stock of the bankrupt Des Miones Department Store company for the Harris-Emery company of Des Moines. In the bidding Mr. Benthey's chief competitors were W. A. Wells of St. Paul and Faulk Younk of Younger Bros. Mr. Younk's final bid was $74,300, an increase of $100 over the bid that preceded. Mr. Benthey then raised to $74,500 and secured the stock. At the time of the sale none knew the identity of Mr. Benthey. It had been reported that he was representing the Boston store of Chicago. The announcement that he secured the stock for the Harris-Emery company was a distinct surprise to the other local bidders. Liquor Seller Davenport—Judge Bollinger has issued injunctions against the eight dance halls and summer gardens attacked by the civic federation. The injunctions restrain the owners from the "illegal sale of intoxicating liquors," allowing them to continue operating a bar if it is conducted in strict conformity with the Iowa muct law. Tables and chairs have been fired out of scores of Davenport saloons, and side doors nalled up, response to the notice of the brewing companies that they would not deliver beer to saloons which were not conforming strictly with the law.

Carnegie Cedar Rapids.—Andrew Carnegie has given $63,500 for a new science hall at Coc college. GIRL WIFE IS HELD. Mrs. Dolph, of Clinton, is Locked Up and Refused Bail. Clinton.—"Fred is dead—I've killed him," is the statement alleged to have been made by Mrs. Irene Dolph, accused of her husband's murder, to her mother, Mrs. Nellie Goldsmith, at Joliet, Ill. Mrs. Tolson, Mrs. Goldsmith's landlady, tells the police the story; and as she got the statement from Mrs. Goldsmith, and did not hear the daughter make it, the alleged confession cannot be admitted as testimony. But it strengthens the belief, which has come to be a conviction from Mrs. Dolph that he husband before killing and locking the house, to go to her mother in Joliet and confide in her the deed she had accomplished.
