In last week's issue of the Buxton Gazette it was asked, "What has Senator Allison had done for the colored man?" The Gazette replied that he had voted to confirm most all the colored men that the different Presidents had appointed to various positions. Then the Gazette concluded by saying, "That his friendship and republicanism for the colored people satisfied Chas. Sumner, Fredrick Douglass and John A. Logan will do." Does that fully answer the inquirer's question? We think not for it was his duty as a republican to confirm the republican Presidents appointments. Why, there are but few appointments by the Presidents but what even the democrats have not joined in confirming. Again, nobody questions his republicanism—but the great question is what has he done for his colored constituents in his own district and Iowa. What colored men has he appointed while forty years in the Senate? SPRING TIME. The sweet zephyrs from the Southland has sent its gentle breezes through the North which are the procurers of Spring time. Another reminder is the singing of robins, the pee wee, the moving of the wild geese and ducks on their pilgrimage to the North. Thus new life, new hope and new ideas must awaken as this vernal season comes on; nature is all alive again from her sombre slumber; and now as we approach this coming of Spring time, we should not only plant good sound and well tested seeds, but implant in the minds of those with whom we associate, good and pure wholesome ideas that good fruit sound fruit and good results will be reaped. We should live to make the world better and people happier. So we all welcome the Spring time. CITY ELECTION. Last Monday the city election resulted in electing Judge A. J. Mathis for Mayor, and John McVicar, John L. Hamery, Chares Schramm and Wesley Ash, as the four commissioners to put into operation the new Des Moines city plan of government. It was a great battle. Over fourteen thousand votes was cast. It is a very strong board of commissioners and we hope that the administration will be successful.

Mason has just purchased a house and lot at 1187 W. Fourteenth st. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Ruff who own a lot on 17th and Carpenter avenue, contemplate building this Spring.

When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good—he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication, that other similarly alling may also use it and obtain relief. Behind every one of these letters is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of us to someone else This remedy is for sale by all druggists CLARINDA ITEMS. Lettle Carter was born in Oregon, Mo., in the year 1853 and was married to W. M. Carter in White Cloud, Kans.

All the children were present at her death except Mrs. Lizzie Howe of St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Carter was a faithful member of the A. M. E. church and a Christian woman. She never would let anything keep her from her duty. She was a member of the Mite Missionary Society and literary society and loyal to all the auxiliaries of the church.

E. church Saturday night for the benefit of the Stewards. DISCUSSION—THE FIFTEENTH AJENDMENT. In the issue of the Bystander under date of March 27, 1908, there appeared a communication from one S. Joe Brown "A. M., L L B., Attorney-at-law; President Iowa State Afro-American Council," Ec; in which the said S. Joe Brown, A. M.; L L B. et.ctra, makes a feeble effort to defend his course in the public discussion of the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Brown goes into a triade about the Holy Bible and even degree and frowns upon High School Educator and by intimation would have us to know that one who has had simply a High School Education should in no wise oppose the public utterances of him that can flourish college degrees before the public eye. Let it be said that college degrees are splendid things to hold and I congratulate Mr. S. Joe Brown, A. M; L L B., in his possession of such gifts; they bring honor and distinction to one but I would add that DISCUSSION is a most helpful adjunct in the exercise of their functions. As to the humble possession of a High School education, it can be truthfully said that some of our greatest men never had as much, and many of them never finished the common schools. As an instance of this permit me to cite the name of Abraham Lincoln, America's greatest President, and Fredrick Douglass; the gifted champion of civil rights. Possibly Mr. S. Joe Brown has overlooked the fact that these true types of American citizens never sat within the walls of a college. A college graduate holding the degrees of A. M. and L. L. B. is treading on dangerous ground when he frowns on High School education, it is supposed that a college training equips one for nobler purposes. If Mr. Brown will take the pains to examine more closely my article of March 11th, he will find that my argument hinges on the public discussion of the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and not merely the discussion of the fifteenth amendment. Mr. Brown says that in discussing the repeal of the fifteenth amendment he was not expressing his personal convictions. If such be true then Mr. Brown's declarations for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment are open to severe criticism. A man who will publicly declare the repeal of the fifteenth amendment in one breath and in the next vigorously assert the contrary is guilty of inconsistency and sets a dangerous example before the community. There is such a thing as sincerity and he who assays to leadership must possess this prerequisite in marked degrees. Mr. Brown states that the articles or amenities to the constitution of the U.S. are neither "too sacred nor too profound for public discussion." That is a truth that has been told since 1787 and is not the question at issue, but when Mr. Brown trifles with the Negro's right to vote publicly advocating the repeal of the fifteenth amendment he tampers with that which is too sacred and too profound" for even Mr. Brown to touch with violent hands. As to enlightening the "audience" as to whether the repeal of the fifteenth amendment would be right, I will say for Mr. Brawn's benefit there is not a man or a woman alive possessing any knowledge of the war amendments who does not know that the repeal of the fifteenth amendment would be the greatest injustice that could befall the race. That being true then no colored ```markdown ``` Price Five Cents The else registers man is justified in flaunting his forensic abilities in public at the expense of the race. Mr. Brown quotes from the "Register and Leader" to the effect that the Negro is making great progress advocating the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. If that constitutes Negro progress then of all men the Negro is most miserable. It is evident that the editor of the "Register and Leader" was an invited guest at the debate, and being such he naturally felt called upon to speak in terms of approval which coming from the source it does, Mr. Brown swallows bodily as law and gospel, but this is not all, Mr. Brown goes further and even doubts the ordinal Negro's ability to arrive at a logical conclusion on the question of the repeal of the fifteenth amendment: GALESBURG (ILL) NOTES Mrs. Fletcher Coleman has returned from a visit with relatives in Paris, Mo.

Brent, were united in the bonds of holy matrimony by Rev. Sydes of Bethel A. M. E. church at the home of the bride, 401 South 18th St., Quincy, Ill.

Stenton, postmaster of Pontypool, Ont., writes: "For the past eight years I suffered from rheumatic pains, and during that time I used many different limbures and remedies for the cure of rheumatism. Last summer I procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and got more relief from it than anything I have ever used, and cheerfully recommend this limbure to all suffers from rheumatic pains."

The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so sloubtic a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's lazies from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "wry do you keep telling Major to set up when you know 'sit up' is what you should say?" "Oh well, mother," Bobby answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Major when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." - Youth's Companion. Speaking of Fathers. Two kids had been engaged in a seated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on the hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes, interrupted the plain man.

Married in Handcuffs The unusual spectacle of a bridegroom appearing at the altar hand-coffee has been seen, according to a contemporary at Monthey, an Italian village. The bridegroom, an Italian was undergoing a long sentence for burglary, and recently provailed upon the governor of the prison, to whom he stated he had committed the crime for the sake of his flancee, to allow him to marry. Two gendarmes in uniform acted as witnesses, and guardians at the same time. At the church door the young bride and bridegroom parted with heavy hearts. Proving: His Proverb. "He makes me so angry," remarked Miss Bute; "he's forever remarking to me that 'beauty is only skin deep.'"

Jack—Yes, Cholly—Well, I happened to think this morning that she said that she would marry me on the thirty-first of September, so I looked up the calendar to see what day of the week it would be, and, do you know, September has only 30 days!

Hindoo April First: The Hindoos have on their Hull, March 31, a day on which they play pranks similar to those in vogue here on April 1.

Gladstone as a Bhrasemaker Mr. Gladstone was a master of the art of prbasemaking.

Des Moines, Iowa BALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO. Was Distinctive Mark of Caste In the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? You? Very magnificent, eh? In the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, eh? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, verjure, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being worked over, continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." Kepera Had Special Cartridges For Poor Marksman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor markman: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried phasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartidges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir,' the man answered. 'No more! Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain't for you, sir. They're for another gant they've got shot in 'em, sir.'" PLEA FOR SELF-RELIANCE. Charles G. Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. WORK OF MAHOGANY HUNTER. Practiced Eye Needed to Locate the Valuable Timber. Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skilful and experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a peculiar foliage and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sight. The axmen follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to fell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate it. If he is clever and energetic his remuneration may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results hisarnings are rather precau Rystander office: located over 201 seventh street...

Ingenuity in the row about:" the hungry man queried the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of catables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier. Wisconsin Mink Farm A recent venture not yet listed as paying or otherwise is a mink farm, started by a man in northern Wisconsin, who, noting the popularity of mink and the scarceness of good skins has turned his few acres into a mink farm from which he hopes to make big profits. A. Chance for a Bargain An Irishman who had begun to practice photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "We'll" said the chemist, "it will be two pcs as it is, but if you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle."
