This week the Iowa legislature went on record as voting to make Abruham Lincoln's birthday a legal holiday. It was the first bill our new Governor Carroll signed. We feel indeed greatful and proud of Iowa in being one of the first states in the union to make his natal day a legal holiday. The manly, high minded, loving spirit of Lincoln should ever prevail among civilized nations, with malace toward none and with charity for all humanity, should be the watchword for this country. We are glad that Congress has also passed a bill making it a national holiday this year, and also issuing special stamps bearing his likeness. Certainly the American freedman should feel much encouraged by such patriotic and loyal spirit prevailing the country at this time. Let other states do like Iowa. Every member of the legislature voted for this bill except one. Notes on Racial Progress AS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. During the second week in January, local leagues were organized at Lexington, Statesville Asheville, N. C., and Spartanburg, S. C., by the organizer, Mr. Chas H. Moore. He also, visited and addressed the members of the Leagues at Salisbury, N. C. The Forsythe Savings & Trust Company of Winston-Salem, N. C., made its annual report December 24, 1908. In it may be seen that from May 11, 1907, when the bank first opened for business, to December the 24, 1908. It transacted a volume of business amounting to 8302,738.86 The bank pays 4 per cent interest on all deposits. Mr. J. S. Hill is president and Prof. F. M. Kennedy is cashier. Mr. B. A. Walton, Jr., brother of Lester A. Walton of the New York age, has recently opened a large tea and coffee store, 1729% Third Avenue, Birmingham. Ala. He is very hopeful of the business outlook in the place where he has pitched his tent, and of course, is sanguine of success. The Ninth Anniversary celebration of the Negro Business League of Bristol, Tenn., was held in Lee Street M. E. Church the evening of January 7th. The principle feature of the occasion was a very forceful and interesting address delivered by Judge John W. Price on the subject "The Laws of Progress." He said in substance that, if the Negro would succeed he must obey such laws and at the same time build up a strong character. The auditorium of the church was filled, many whites being in the audience. Besides the address there was a program rendered. Mr. Robert E. Clay is president of the League. It is said that politics sometimes makes strange bed-fellows. Business sometimes does likewise. For instance: On the first day of the year in Baltimore a Jewish Capitalist by name of Ephraim Macht, opened "The People's Bank" on the corner of Hoffman street and Druid Hill avenue. While he is president, nevertheless he has associated with him a number of colored men who have taken stock in the in situation. Mr. Alfred H. Pitts, a prosperous poultry dealer, is the cashier, and one Mr. Anderson, a former school teacher, is the bookkeeper. An expert white man in that kind of business is also attached to the institution. In connection with the bank there is also a real estate department. is also a real estate department. An associated press dispatch to the New York Tribune says that, the United States District Court in session at Muskogee, Okla., on January 5th, held that all the alleged sales and leases signed by Ezekiel Moore, a Creek freedman to one hundred and twenty acres of land in the Glenn Pool oil field of Oklahoma, are invalid except one lease, covering a period of fifteen years given to R. S. Litchfield who represents the Standard Oil Company. The land is worth $500.000, and by the decision of the court, Moore will get ten per cent royalty on all oils taken from wells on the land under the Litchfield lease. This will make him the richest Negro in Oklahoma and probably in the United States. The decision in Moore's favor is based upon the fact that he was a minor and was serving a (erm in prison when induced to sign several leases, and that he was ignorant or the value of the land which was an allotment made him by the Federal Government. KANSAS NEGRO FARMERS ENTHUSIASTIC. The Sunflower Agricultural Holds Best Meeting in its History—Organization Has Grown in Numbers and Wealth. Special from the Topeka Plaindealer. The ninth annual meeting of the Sunflower Agricultural association, held in this city last week was a success. The organization is growing rapidly. There were over forty farmers present, representing more than 6000 acres of land and thousands dollars in stock, grain and implements. The colored farmers of Kansas are being aroused to a sense of duty. They know that the farm is the place to get a start and they are advocating it. The young colored men are beginning to get interested. There were more at this meeting than any since its organization. The association has purchased 160 acres of land near Kansas City to be platted in ten acre tracts for truckers and those who wish to live in the country. During the three days session several papers were read on farm improvement. Robert L. Woods Strong City, a single young man, who has a large mule ranch and knows the business, told them about the raising of mules, more land and alfalfa. J. F. Buchanan spoke on wheat growing. He is one of the largest growers around Great Bend. Rice and Coffey of Frankfort, two of the most successful farmers in Marshall county, told how an all-around farmer can succeed. Mrs. R. P. Brown of Dunlap discussed the dairy and its advantages. She told them how to get good butter, and how to make it pay. C. D. Patterson of Paola, who farms over 300 acres told about the corn testing. He is a young man who took hold after the death of his father and is carrying on the farm to success. His mother and two sisters assist him. We need more young men him.

Rogers, Princeton, 1st vice president; 2nd vice president, Mrs. N. L. French, Kausa City; 3rd vice president, George 1. Martin, Great Bend 4th vice president, W. T. Turner, Topeka; sec'y, Arthur Emery, Lawrence; treasurer, J. G. Groves Edwardsville; member of executive committee, C. D. Patterson, Paola.

We are much concerned about the new administration surrounding itself with a class of good efficient men to conduct the affairs of the nation. While this country affords many good and deserving men, yet our race has not produced many really great men, because the time is indeed short and the opportunity is limited; yet with the record and political history of such men as Douglas, Bruce, Langton, and Lynch, to bank upon, and with such men in the present administration as Anderson from the East, Napier from the South, Lewis and Furits from the New England states and Hon. W. T. Vernon from the Middle West, we will feel sure of able and worthy young men as our representatives. We announce, not officially, Mr. Vernon for re-appointment as Register of the U. S. Treasury; but as a citizen of the West we recommend his re-appointment, because he is able, young and progressive and alive to the interest of the race. Then he rendered very valuable service for the party at the last campaign and is entitled to his second term as Register. THE LINCOLN CENTENARY One hundred years ago the twelfth of this month a great man was born. There is no need to trace his history. You know it. Every child in the public schools has the wonderful story by heart, the story of a man whom circumstances could not bind, whom obsticles could not discourage, whom ridicule could not deter, whose height and breadth and depth of vision so far exceeded those about him that, impervious to all without, guided only by that within, he followed the way we known not of. It is a question whether we of lesser vision see clearly even now, fifty years after his death, what his life has met to the nation. We have seen enough to raise him above criticism, above censure, to place him among the heroes to which mankind is pleased to do a tardy justice. And we have, perhaps, come to realize something of the bigness of mind and heart that makes him our greatest American. The lengthening perspective gained by the passage of each year has but added to his prestige, and none can foresee his final rank. We recognize, by applause and laurels, many forms of so-called greatness. We respect the man who achieves, whether the production be a symphony, a painting, a miraculous cure of disease, or the invention of a new battleship. The teacher who evolves a new cult has always a devoted following; the scientific investigator—the philosopher—these have been accorded their need of praise. Let all those who attempt be encouraged. This is wise and right, lest any good that can come to mankind be lost. But, in the last analysis, there is but one true measure of greatness. It is the measure Christ gave us two thousands years ago—and which we in our vanity oft forget. That measure is service. Tested by this standard the life of Abraham Lincoln stands out supreme above that of his followers. Utterly forgetful of self, even to the disregard of his personal appearance, his mind, his heart, and his very existence were given freely without reserve to a nation which sorely needed him.

The Youth's Companion, 144 Berkley street Boston, Mass. ROCK ISLAND. ILL Death again has been in our midst and called to rest one of our most beloved young women. On last Saturday morning at 9:15 o'clock Mrs. Bertha Morrison of So. Rock Island breathed her last. Mrs. Morrison, who was formerly Miss Taylor, was born in Rock Island April 15, 1877. She grew to womanhood in this city and was always a sweet girl, having a kind word for every one she knew. She was married to Mr. William Morrison in November 1890. To this union three children were born, William, Leroy and Arthur, all of which are left to mourn a dear mother. A sister, Mrs. W. Stewart, is also left to mourn her death, besides a host of friends. The funeral was from the Second Baptist church last Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, under auspices of Adah Chapter No. 10 O. E. S. of which she was a member. Rev. Broyles her pastor preached a very beautiful sermon over the life of the deceased lady. The choir rendered several beautiful hymns, and by request "Asleep in Jesus" was sung by Mrs. Broyles. In the pieces that she use to have her nurse, Miss Helems, sing to her during her sad hours of affliction, was sung; "Blessed are the Poor in Spirit" and "HallucinJis Tis Done." The pall bearers were Messrs. C. Tolliver, Geo. Johnson, Wm. Thompson, James Tolliver, Wm. Taylor and T. Harper. The casket was heavy laden with flower, the grave also was beautifully lined. We can only say as Bertha said when she folded her hands across her breast: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentle breast: There by his love o'er shadowed, Sweetly my soul shall rest. Thus the curtain of life was drawn on a trine and noble character. SIOUX CITY ITEMS. The revival meeting has opened in full blast at the M. Ztion Baptist church, Rev.

In a write up on the lecture of Rev. Robinson's life at the A. M. E. church his subject being "From the log cabin to the pulpit," our worthy editor of the Afro-American Advance stated it probably would be better to let the slavery question die out, your correspondent says no, no never shall it die because if it did what would become of one of our main studies in the public schools to-day "The United States history," we all know that slavery was the cause of the civil war, and it was that war that gave our foreparent the peace they enjoyed. And the 14th, and 15th, amendment and was handed down giving equal rights and justice to all races. If you blot out slavery you would have to blot out our greatest history and study in school work, it install patriotism in the heart of the younger generation. We will have slavery and war rehearsed as long as there is a G. A. R. veteran on earth. CEDAR RAPIDS NOTES. The old fashioned concert and supper given last Tuesday evening was a success.

FLORIDA ALSO IN PORT Frenzied Cheers and Tears of Thankfulness Greet the Survivors of the Remarkable Ocean Drama. New York—Less than 72 hours after the crash between the ocean liners Republic and Florida off the Nantucket Shoals, which eventually sent the one to the bottom and reduced the other to a state of staggering helplessness, the survivors of this thrilling deep sea tragedy found a haven. At nightfall Monday 1,550 passengers from the two vessels were safe in this port, brought here by the Ballie. At nine o'clock the derelict destroyer Seneca, aboard of which were Capt. Sealby and his volunteer crew, who stood by the Republic till she sank, arrived in the harbor. With Capt. Sealby were Second Mate Williams, who refused to leave his captain when the latter ordered the volunteer crew to the cutter Gresham, and "Jack" Binns, the Republic's wireless operator, who stayed herolically at his post when the collision came and summoned aid from far and near through his electrical signals sent into the air. At her dock in Brooklyn was the battered Florida, aboard which her crew had remained throughout her trying experience. As the stirring story of what occurred when the stenemer crashed to the Hog and mist and the dramatic incident which followed approached completeness, it began to be apparent that the three days witnessed what is, beyond question, the most remarkable series of happenings in the history of modern navigation. Sixteen hundred and fifty persons, passengers on the Republic and Florida, whose lives were in jeopardy for hours while the call of the wireless was gradually bringing aid nearer and nearer to the steamer Hallie. No arroggy of the old days bringing golden treasure home was ever more heartily welcomed. Frenzied cheers from the thousands at the pler when she docked greeted her arrival, tears of thankfulness were shed, affectionate greetings were only given to her there did a note of sadness intrude itself upon the scene. Until an early hour Sunday it was believed the crashing together of the two big ships off fog-bound Nautucket Saturday morning had not resulted in death or injury to a single passenger or member of the crews. Shortly after midnight, however, the wireless telegraph, that mysterious force which sent the ships' distress and quickly brought other ships to her aid, flashed the news that two passengers on the Republic had been killed and two others injured. Late in the day another wireless message told of four deaths on board the Florida, either of members of the crew or steerage passengers. The identity of these was not made clear. The message from Capt Ranson of the Baltic to the White Star Company in this region was sent by sailors as Mrs. Eugene Lynch of Boston and W. J. Mooney, a banker of Langdon, N. D. The injured are Mrs. M. M. Murphy, wife of the financial agent of the Union Central Life Insurance Company of Grand Forks, N. D., and Eugene Lynch of Boston. Mail Tug Frozen in the ice. Petosky. Mick—the Mail tug Violet has been frozen in the ice in Lake Michigan off Cross Village since last Friday and the three men aboard suffered severely from hunger and cold until a row boat from Cross Village is in putting them onions aboard the Violet. The tug carries mail from the Beaver islands and left St James last for Friday for Charleville. For several days the men aboard were unable to attract attention from the shore. Tuesday, however, they secured provisions. Quake Felt in Nebraska. Norfolk, Neb.—Specials to the Norfolk Dally News tell of a violent earthquake shock through Pleerce and Knox counties, at the Nebraska border. The horses became frightened, cattle stamped, and chickens cackled. A team of mules ran away, from fright, and Foster a young man herding 50 cattle narrowly escaped their stampede with his life. Bristow Elected to Senate. Topeka, Kan.—At noon Monday both houses of the Kansas legislature met in joint session and elected J. B. Bristow of Salina United States senator to succeed Chester I. Long for a six years' term, beginning March 4 next. Bristow was the nominee of the Republicans at the first state-wide primary in Kansas last August. Iowa Bank Cashier a Suicide. Portsmouth, Ia.—C. S. Scroggins, for 18 years cashier of the State bank of Portsmouth, Ia., committed suicide Tuesday by shooting. A state bank examiner was at work examining the books of the bank, but no unfavorable showing had been found. Three Houses Carried Into Ocean. San Luis Obispo, Cal.—Three houses at El Plizmo were carried away and swept into the Pacific ocean Tuesday when Price creek overflowed and swept through the town. Paris Linotypers on Strike. Paris—All the linotypers on the Paris newspapers went on strike Monday night for an increase in the prices of the newspapers sitting on the strike and had made arrangements to print their papers by hand. CUBANS AGAIN CONTROL ISLE GEN. GOMEZ IS INAUGURAT. J AS THE PRESIDENT. Ceremonies Preceded by Illuminant Illumination and Farwell Ball for American Officials. Havana—Cuba formally passed back into the hands of the Cubans at noon Thursday, when the new government, headed by President Gomes and Vice-President Zayas, was inaugurated. The Gen. Gomes took the oath from the chief justice of the supreme court and made a brief address to the populace from the balcony of the palace. Afterward in the reception room of the palace Gov. Magoon read the order of President Roosevelt restoring the island and its affairs to the newly elected government. The festivities really opened Wednesday evening with a brilliant illumination of the city and a farewell ball tendered by the mayor and council of Havana in honor of Gov. Magoon, President-elect Gomez, Vlaco President-elect Zayas and the American officers who served as provisionals on the protruding military top a new American flag. This idea originated among the crew of the new battleship Maine, which now is in the harbor, who subscribed $150 for the flowers and greens. Capt. William B. Caperton, commanding the new Maine, went to Havana to salute the troops other officers to help place the wreaths and stretch the green garlands from the tassel mass of iron which was once the superstructure of the battleship, to the top of the military mast. Parties of visitors visited the wreck throughout the day. MINE ACCIDENT FATAL TO SIX. Three Are Killed Near Pledmont, W. Va.—Others Failured.

The accident occurred at a meeting point for the police of the place, which is half mile long and stead of taking separate tracks the cars came together head on.

ANTI-JAPANESE LEGISLATION JUNGLE STORIES 97 LOUIS REPUBLIC EPAHOUSE THREE INDIGTED FOR FRAUD SPEEDY RESULTS FROM GRAND JURY AT MUSKOGEE. Investigation Into Town Lot Swindles Said to Reveal Wider Conspiracy Than Suspected. Muskogee, Okla.-Semi-official reports from the federal grand jury Tuesday night were to the effect that three persons have been indicted on town lot fraud charges and that from ten to fifty separate indetements have been found against each. Government officials, while declining to vouchsafe any information in advance of the report of the jury do not deny that indictments have been found. To Danville, Va., goes the distinction of a first witness, a first true bills to be found. In the case of these witnesses the testimony is said to be unanimous that at least thirty-eight deeds were forged by the persons indicted. The sentiment here is that the growth of the city has been retarded by the clouds cast upon titles of reality and that the clearing away of the cloud will result in great benefit to the city, though unquestionably working hardships in many cases. While every possible precaution is being made by the government to prevent the secrets of the grand jury room from leaking out in proximity in calculation to the effect that the investigation shows a much wider conspiracy than was suspected when the jury was called to weigh the testimony against less than a dozen men. It is said many others are involved. To O. E. Pagin, assistant attorney general, has been assigned the duty of drawing up the indictments. Pagin was formerly assistant United States district attorney at Chicago, where he gained the reputation of preparing indictments which never failed to hold. JEROME IN CANAL LIBEL CASE.

Stimson. Provided Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law of the president, is willing to appear as a complainant witness, Mr. Jerome is ready, the letter states, to begin action at once in the state of New York. It would be useless for him to do so, however, he explains, if his inquiry is not given precedence over that begun before the federal grand jury, as acquittal or conviction in one court would act as sufficient defense in the other.

Indeed, how surprised, how favorably everything compared with my dream of what I wanted to see in a new country.

Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake, I returned for wife and three small children and freighted out from Edmonton in March following out from Edmonton a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent and commenced operations, at that time we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway station, with churches and school, telephone and good road connections, offering the privileges granted to any rural district in Washington. The Birch Lake Country is no exception, this great transformation is rapidly going on in every district in Western Canada. (Signed) "P. S. AUSTIN." ONE THING AT A TIME.

Although possessed of a good residence property, a large farm, they were found with a cent of indebtedness, these old people were found huddled about a small stove with hardly any fire in it. They had plenty of coal but were too miserly to burn it. Very little food was found in the house and the man and woman were in a most filthy condition Put $50,000 in Y. M. C. A. Council Bluffs—With whistles blowing and a big display of fireworks, the news was carried over the city that the campaign for $20,000 additional with which to add another story to the partially completed Young Men's Christian association building, had ended successfully and a whole day ahead of the time limit placed upon the campaign by certain business men who had subscribed $5,000 conditionally to the fund. The organization will have an investment of almost $50,000. The building will be four stories high. Slain Woman Down in Well. Sloux City—One of the most horrible murders in the criminal history of Sloux City was uncovered when the body of Mrs. Zack Odam was found in the well in the rear of her husband's home, 115 South Jennings street. There were fifteen knife wounds in her back and her jugular vein had been severed. She was a white woman and her husband is a negro and was employed in one of the packing houses. The police are looking for him. They had many family quarrels and separated about three weeks ago. Clarion Market Day Success. Clarion—The market day in Clarion was a great success, notwithstanding the very heavy conditions of the country roads. A very large crowd of men were present and things sold well. A big bunch of cattle were sold and about eighty horses. All brought top prices. The merchants experienced an unusually heavy trade. WANTS HER LETTER PUBLISHED For Benefit of Women who Suffer from Female Ills Minneapolis, Minn.—"I was a great sufferer from female troubles which caused a weakness and bad condition of the system.

Editorial Verdict. From a serious-minded jaster the editor received this note, together with a consignment of humor that was heavy enough to go by freight: "Dear Sir: I read all these jokes to his wife, and she laughed heartily. Now, he is very happy that when a man's wife will laugh his jokes they are bound to be very good —or she is. Yours, etc." The editor slipped them into the return envelope with the letter, after writing on the margin: "She is." Ready Theme. "Archibald," edited the wife of the special writer, in excited tones. "Don't bother me, Lucy," shouted her husband from his "den." "Archibald," she persisted. "Please keep quiet. Didn't I tell you not to bother me when I am busy?" "But I must, dear. The children have taken those six bottles of gold paint you bought for the gas fixtures and smeared it on the walls from garret to cellar." "So that, Lucy? Well, don't let that worry you. I'll just call an inspiration, and then it in an article entitled 'How Children Brighten Up the House.'" strong sharks' vitality. Dr. Marin L. Aveyard, a distinguished Frenchman, admires the theory that every time one becomes angry his vitality shrinks. After even the most artfully suppressed signs of bad temper the vitality becomes smaller and smaller, until finally nothing is left. Anger is a certain kind of cerebral excitement, explains Dr. de Ficry. The hyperasthenic subject is always on its verge, while the neurasthenic becomes infurred only by a bond of reaction excited from without. But at that moment they are let loose the two are alike, save that the strong man is a blinder brute, while the weak man is somewhat of an actor and seems to aim at effect. Too Much for His Mind "My first impulse," wailed the Sad-Eyed individual, "are invariably good. In fact, I think that I may venture, without fear of undue exaggeration, to say that they are very good. But I never act on them! I always act on second thoughts. This trait in my character has ruined my career, because my second thoughts are always bad! I don't want to say that they are of misrepresentation, that they're punk." "Well," suggested he who was listening, "why don't you wait until third thoughts, an" act on them? "Mournfully, despondently, the Sad-Eyed individual shook his head." He grinned. "I never had three successive thoughts about anything in my life!" JOY WORK Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early morning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along because it meant their daily bread, and the others cheerfully and eagerly pursuing their way because of love of the earth? Is it a fact that one's food has much to do with it. As an example: If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler is fired with poor coal, a bad result is certain, isn't it? Treating your stomach right is the keystone that sustains the arch of health's temple and you will find "Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the most nourishing and beneficial you can use. We have thousands of testimonials, real genuine little heart throbs, from people who simply tried Grape-Nuts out of curiosity—as a last resort—with the result that prompted the testimonial. If you have never tried Grape-Nuts it's worth while to give it a fair impartial trial. Remember there are millions eating Grape-Nuts every day—the they know, and we know if you will use Grape-Nuts every morning your brain will be well nourished because you can keep well, and with the brain well nourished work is a joy.

THE WONDERBERRY RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION The increased use of "Toris" for rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce of Syrup Saraparilla Compound. Mix well and then take three before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co. Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good drugstiff. Modern Buildings Inferior In modern buildings the cement and mortar are the weakest points; in the buildings which the Romans and Greeks raised thousands of years ago the cement and mortar are the strongest points, and hold good while the very stones they bind together crumble away with age. With all our science we can not make such cement and mortar, and therefore, we can not construct such buildings as the ancients raised. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to stretch the stretch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. The Use of a Fat Man. "I don't know whether I like Jack or not when I see him again," said she. "He wrote me he was getting fat. I hate a fat man." "A fat man's all right," said the boy who was playing cards on the floor, "a burger gets in. A fat man will sell me." But she demurred, "I'm not marrying a man just because he's good to scare burglars with, am I?" $100 Reward, $100. DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISSEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHTS DISEASE DIABETES, BACKMUE TER 375 *Guarantee* The extrabordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stifterer makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.
