To the President and Members of the Iowa State Negro Har Association, in annual Session at Des Moines, Iowa, October 28, 1900. Greeting: Your Legislative Committee appointed at the last meeting to keep watch of the action of the 33rd. General Assembly, to hostile to the general welfare of the people of Iowa and especially offensive to the Negro Race, and to foster and aid in having measures passed for the best interest of the General Public. To the Negro Race, and to the Negro Race, who are striving against great injustice growing out of a adversed sentiment, amounting in many instances to brutal, unchristian and cruel oppression, beg to sub- 1st. We wish to state that, while the general public sentiment concerning our race in the State of Iowa is not altogether bad yet it is not favorable that there has been a denial of the necessity of our people merita. 2nd. In plain violation of the express provisions constitution and statutes, equal public accommodation and almost every public accommodation is still opaque, deficient, deformed and industrial and religious along the vulgar, slothful and depraved criminal class, and that is the hard unreasonable part of the discrimination which our people are made to suffer over it. We will not allow any student of Sociology long to understand why this harsh general discrimination is placing a premium on racial voice and a discount on racial virtue. There can be no public influence on the race of our students to virtue if the same influence gives the reward to worthlessness and vice. This pernicious doctrine in Iowa has been carried to the point of denying the respectable people of our race the right to vote if the same influence gives the matter of Pure Food; second:—In the matter of equal educational accommodations outside of the state school; third:—In the matter of the denial of the right and privilege so long enunciated in our own secret societies and to establish and maintain the same. - The protest of the Race against the treatment of the "Pure Food" people, was entered by Mrs. Susie Brown in the case entitled Susie Brown in the case of the "Pure Food"endant." This case or cause of action has been before the courts in some form or other for Two years. It has been maintained by Mrs. Brown in behalf of and for the good of her race at her own costs. She has asked the court to affirm sympathy for fainted, patriotic people of her own and other races in Iowa, for a just termination of this cause. The case is now awaiting a decision from the Supreme Tribunal of our State and, as the highest court of the country, we are negro to fair treatment in a pure food to show and to have pure food in Iowa, this committee will not say more upon that of the subject at this time. To meet the educational discrimination, we caused a bill to be introduced in the Senate to 5008 so as to prohibit incorporated schools and colleges from refusing admission to students of our race and color. This bill failed to pass and was defeated by the majority of the race friends. We are the opponents of the measure speak and vote against the bill and the best of majority of our friends could do to meet this opposition was to quietly sit in their seats (some of them did go to the cloak room) and to vote when the bill was up for action and their names were reached on the roll and called by the senate clerk. And thus was the measure killed in the house and company of its friends. But your committee is not discharged and if the race friends we are allowed ready to try again. The bill introduced in our last General Assembly for the purpose of destroying our secret orders, was not an Iowa measure. In fact, it was such a sneaking, underhanded, low-down proposition that very few Iowa people knew, or understood, the purpose of the measure. The most watchful guardians of our liberty were taken by surprise and we unprepared to meet such a bill. After the Chairman of your committee had received and read the bill, he found it hard to get our President to believe that such a measure had been made. He halls of its own native state. But when S. Joe Brown did realize that the bill was here and about to pass he closed his office and moved to the Capitol. With Mr. Brown on watch, your committee notified the head officials of every secret order in the state and received it. It was not until Be it also said to their credit, that the majority of the respectable white fraternity men were opposed to the measure when they were made to understand the nature of the provision. In the measure, Mr. Brown had succeeded in having the bill withdrawn and far this he has your committee everlasting that in this particular matter, in this particular matter, but this bill discloses an alarming state of affairs for the Negro Race in the United States. It is this:--The enemies of civil and religious liberty are united in a secret combined to take, by deception and strength, the color pattern of their country, the color pattern of their political, civil and religious rights. Without any announcement; without notice, agitation or discussion of any kind, these bills are princted and sent to the legislature of every state in the Union to be enacted into law. We have made the case in the making of bodies of the land and our best white friends are the most easily deceived because they are the least evil and suspicious. Bills to prohibit intermarriage be- tween the races have not had the principal advanced any by measures to punish white men for despelling colored women; and while such measures can prevent legal marriages, they cannot and will not prevent that race from mixing and leaving their spirings to weaken the social compact. We cannot see where yociety is aloof by a segregation of the beat and a commingling the worst elements. If one outraged woman and her offspring are separated against the man who outrages her, so as to be entitled to a share in his property rights, this same measure of humanity and justice should not be especially denied a woman by law because she is weak and dark of compulsion. If white men regard marriages too sacred with a lewd and criminal. Your committee considers it a duty to urge the Iowa State Negro Bar Association to continue and increase its vigilance in trying to guard the liberty of Iowa citizens wherever it may be necessary, and rightly the order of the most humble and oppressed. In the years that are to come it will be harder and more difficult to take perilous measures out of our statutes than it is now to prevent them from being written into them. We must not only guard our people, but also our people we must protect our people as far as possible against the influence and advice of weak, truckling, slavishly inclined men. People who are willing and anxious to live without equal civil, political rights and liberty, are not willing to be slaves to people as to how they may best preserve the priceless gem. Your committee believes that a fund of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) should be raised by a proportionate contribution from the public, and direction of a property organized joint committee in efforts to prevent hostile legislation and in reviewing the Constitutions and Statues of the several states so that unjust, unfavorable and oppressive laws be repealed. Speaking privately and confidentially to this association alone, your committee is constrained to state that its brief, short experience has somewhat inclined it to the belief that its efficiency is greatly enhanced as to Legislative Committee or a Lobby if it could have plenty of money at its command. Your Committee believes its efforts in behalf of equal justice to be patriotic and to promote the welfare of people, believe that our Country can continue to boast itself "the land of the free and the home of the brave" while delaying equal justice and equal opportunity to ten million and its most beautiful people. Because we love our Country with we have deemed it proper at this time to submit you this somewhat extended report. Respectfully yours, The Legislative Committee By George H. Woodron. John L. Thompson. John E. Holt. HIS DEATH IS MOURNED. LATE JOHN CHARLES LEWIS HAD MANY FRIENDS.

Church THE HUNGER FOR LAND Measures of the Government Appease the Appeites for Farms. A Wonderful Exhibit by the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture at the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition at Chicago from Nov. 20th to Dec. 4th. A debt of gratitude and a vote of thanks will be due the Chicago Tribune from the American people when the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition is over. The inception of this great undertaking was entirely due to the Tribune. The idea originated with the Tribune, and the entire responsibility, financial and otherwise, was assumed by the Tribune. So timely did this enterprise seem to be that all the great irrigation and other land interests were quickly won and promised their participation and support. The United States government has thought so well of the Tribune's idea that it will be the largest exhibitor. All the exhibits of the exposition will deal with the idea of establishing American homes upon small farms. All the feares of this unique and wonderful snow will be pivoted around the idea that the best place for an American family is in a home of its own, and that home a tract of land large enough to maintain the family in any emergency. With our better knowledge of plants and soils and cultural practice a few acres have an associating capacity for production. Vitable instruction along these lines will be found by the visitor at the coming exposition, Nov. 20 to Dec. A at Chicago's great Colseum. Besides the features specially prepared and brought from Washington, the best features from the government's exhibit at Seattle will be installed at Chicago. The reclamation service, the geological survey, the land office, the forestry service, the patient office, the bureau of animal industry, the weather bureau, the office of experiment stations and the bureau of entomology will all participate in a manner worthy of the government of eighty millions of people. The value of the government exhibits to the visitor will lie in the fact that they are new and represent the latest thought and development in the various lines which they represent. The farm is a dry farming and to the industries of the farm, especially of the new farm which are being reclaimed from what has long been regarded as waste land. THE BIG LAND SHOW Chicago's Chief of Police Assures Visitors That Everything Will Be Ready for Their Comfort. Chief of Police Stewart of Chicago is mindful of the comfort of visitors during the coming Land Exposition, which will be held during the same time as the International Live Stock Show, Nov. 20 to Dec. 4. "We shall not only police the exposition, but also all those parts of the city which the visitors will frequent. If there are any suspicious characters in sight, we shall speedily warn them to leave the city. We are determined that our guests during the exposition season shall be as free from annoyance as a thoroughly organized police and detective force can make them, and we will be able to make it as safe here as in any city—we purpose to make him doubly so during the two weeks of the exposition and Live Stock Show. We have on the force many men who are experienced in looking after large crowds and they will all be on duty at the right points during the Land and Irrigation festivities. "I am taking a special interest in this coming land show, for I realize its great importance to the country and to the city of Chicago, and I appreciate the earnestness of the people who are going to be Chicago's visitors. Many people who are seeking new locations for their homes will come to Chicago and many of them will not be on the alert for suspicious characters. To such people we shall give them a chance, all in our power of our strong organization to see that no one falls into the hands of the confidence men or other guardians during his presence within our rates. "I appreciate the enterprise of the Chicago Tribune in promoting and financing this great exposition and it is my wish to have our police organization's responsibility for the cenfort or our guests on this splendid occasion." Heredity. "It's too bad that Gladys Mingles is a silly sort of girl. She is pretty enough, but she acts so foolish that she seems a perfect ninny. What is the reason for it?" asks the party of the first part.

Never Such an Interest in Land and Irrigation Before—All Parts of the Country Responding to the Call to the Great Land Rally. When the Chicago Tribune first proposed the Land and Irrigation Exposition the public little realized the furor it would create throughout the country. The emissaries of the exposition management have gone into every western state and aroused an interest that will have its climax on the opening day of the coming show. Other representatives were sent throughout the east and south, calling to this great convocation everyone who is interested in land development. The work has gone on and on with such energy and united effort that the coming event will be one of the greatest in Chicago since the Columbian exposition in 1893. Approximately half a million dollars will be expended on this magnificent display of western and southern products and the marvelous possibilities in the states of the west and south. Neyer has an exposition been undertaken in Chicago where the entire scheme of installation has been planned on such a harmonious scale. The great Collisse will be a thing of beauty throughout its vast interior. The decorations will be true to the spirit of the whole enterprise. Coming as this exposition does at the time of the international Live Stock Show, Nov. 20 to Dec. 4, Chicago will offer, as theatrical people express it, a "double bill" to the people of the country. It is the greatest "combined show" of the period. All the railroads centering in Chicago, and all of their connections at distant points have prepared for a large traffic in view of the widespread interest which this exposition has created. Chicago is unquestionably the greatest land center in America. All of the large companies which are developing the country have their headquarters here, and it is entirely fitting that Chicago should take the lead in planning and carrying out an exposition on the grand scale which is now reaching a stage of completion. There will be no disappointment for the coming visitor. The vastness of our land interests will amaze those who consider themselves familiar with this nation development. The orchards of the northwest and the central mountain districts; the great stock ranches of Montana and other states; the orange groves and peach orchards of California; the rich valley lands of Arizona where all subtropical fruits grow in such wonderful abundance; the great coastal plains of Texas and Louisiana with their vast sugar and rice plantations, will all be represented in the exhibits, and the housekeeper may have a choice of countless opportunities which these various regions offer. The United States government is lending its aid to this enterprise and will have numerous exhibits. The great work of drainage and irrigation and the equally important work of soil survey and crop production will all be in charge of experts who will give first-hand information to every inquirer. It will be a splendid school for everyone who is at all interested in the great land movement of the present day. The invitation to attend this exposition is extended to everyone by Chicago, and by the Tribute management, to whose energies and financial support the country is indebted for this magnificent enterprise. CHICAGO'S BIG LAND BANQUET Distinguished Men from Many States Will Attend the Land and Irrigation Exposition, and Be Royally Entertained.

Not in many years has there been such a feeling of enthusiasm over the development of our country's resources as at the present time. Scientists, financiers and men of all walks of life are turning to the land as the source of all our supplies and as affording a means of outdoor life and health. The great exposition in Chicago, under the auspices of the Chicago Tribune, will afford the opportunity for a great gathering of the forces that are doing so much for the irrigation and reclamation of what formerly were considered our waste lands.

Every AS UNDERSTOOD IN BOSTON The Traditional Episode of "Little Miss Muffet" Brought into Every-Day Cognizance. A diminutive specimen of juvenile femininity yeptle Miss Muffet had placed herself in a sitting posture upon an article of household furniture ordinarily termed an ottoman ar hassock. Ministering to the gratification of her gustatory organs by ingurgitating the coagulated portion of bovine lactic fluid mingled with the watery serum of the same which remains after the coagulated portion has been scraped and withdrawn. Hening to glance downward she observed that a specimen of the genus Aranea, class Arachnida, for its ability to produce filaments of extraordinary tenility from its own interior, had taken a position upon the ottoman or hassock in immediate proximity. Which totally unexpected incident aroused her apprehension to such an extent that she immediately, not, to say precipitously, arose from her situation. She was calmly, leaving the intruder in undisputed possession of the apartment. A Long-Panter Mary, aged 14, was found one day by an older sister sobbing and crying. "What is the matter?" she asked, with a grim face. "Three boys have asked me to go to the dance to night," was the unexpected reply. "Well, my dear child, certainly that is not such a terrible misfortune." The first one I would go with him, and the first one was a long-panzer." -Harpers.

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But Postum Always Means Health. Those who have never tried the experiment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happiness can learn much from the experience of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: "I drank coffee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of depression producing days of discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give up the use of coffee entirely, but found it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. "It was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years. I improved immediately after I left off coffee and took on Postm and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and other troubles all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented, and all because I changed from coffee to Postm. "Postm is much easier to make right every time than coffee, for it is so even and always reliable. We never use coffee now in our family. We use Postm, and are always well." "There's a reason" and it is proved by trial. Look in pkgs for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

A TEACHERS_PENSION TEACHERS_PENSION Favored by Educational Council of State Teachers' Association. 'normous Crowd of Teachers Gathers in Des Moines With Indications That Crowd Will Break All Records. Des Molnes Nov. 5.—The educational council of the Iowa State Teachers' association went on record in favor of pensions for teachers and mandatory medical inspection of schools by adopting the report of the committee on "Pensions and Tenure of Teachers," presented by Prof. W. H. Bender of Cedar Falls, and the report of the committee on "Medical Inspection of Schools," presented by Supt. J. C. King of Boone. The adoption of the recommendations in these two reports, as set forth above, carried with it the adoption of the reports proper, according to a rule presided by President John J. Miles of the council. With need of 2,000 teachers registered Thursday, the indications are that the fifty-fifth annual meeting of the Iowa State Teachers' association will be the largest in the history of the organization. The vast problems presented, including as they do, pensions for teachers, medical inspections of schools and a complete revision of the constitution and by-laws, to say nothing of the brilliant educators who are to speak, have served as a magnet to Iowa, have served as a section of Iowa to the convention. The teachers have come to this convention imbued with the idea of gaining all knowledge possible of the great educational questions before the people in order that they may more thoroughly direct the minds of the thousands of children who are daily under their care and supervision. It is doubtful if the state of Iowa ever is gathering than that embodied in the convention of the two thousand school teachers. "The annual banquet of the alumni of the State University of Iowa held at the Savery was characterized by the earnestness and seriousness of the speakers. The banquet was in this respect an unique college feast. The speakers from first to last looked most exclusively upon the serious life of life, life, life, in reality and in retrospect. "It has done us good to be here tonight," said Toastmaster Carroll Wright at the conclusion of the banquet, "because it has made us love and revere Iowa University more." DR.

My back scched and pained so I could hardly get around and the secretions were scanty, frequent of passage and painful. I was tired all the time and very nervous.

SHOWED HIS HERO WORSHIP Surely Nothing Wrong Could Go Forth from Lips That Were His Veneration. Allen has a strong admiration for soldiers. He seldom misses a military parade and his childish fancy has so idealized the boys in blue that he considers them little short of perfection. Not long ago his mother took him to see an elderly friend of hers—sweet-faced, silver-haird woman, who is the widow of a veteran of the civil war. Before arriving at the house Mrs. Parker told Allen this bit of her friend's history, and consequently the boy accorded this beautiful woman the most reverent attention. In discussing a certain current subject of literary interest the two woman had a mild difference of opinion, and Allen's regard for brass buttons would not long permit him to listen to silence. "Mamma," he asked in gently reproachful tones after he had idged a moment in his chair, "don't you think a soldier's wife ought to know?"—From the Housekeeper. RASH ALL OVER BOY'S BODY. Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on Little Sufferer - A Score of Treatments Prove Dlamal Failures. Cure Achieved by Cuticura. "My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible, and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become crusted. A score or more physicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of eczema and I was told to Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see a change in him. In about two months he was entirely well.

The best example of this is found in Quaker Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourishment and vigor, without taxing the digestion and yet it is the least expensive food. This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentifully on Quaker Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food. It is the most interesting information about human foods were gathered by Professor Fisher of Yale University in 1908. In addition to the regular packaged foods, Quaker Oats is sized family packages either with or without china dishes. 8 Courtesy includes not merely social kindness, graces of speech, absence of rudeness, but honorable treatment of business associates and of all the fellow citizens with whom a man of affairs may have business to transact. it is not American to keep one citizen waiting all day at the door because he is poor, and to grant another citizen an interview because it is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not confined in a purse, and frequently much wisdom may be learned from a poor man. **Unusual Luck.** "So you've rented that haunted house, which was on your hands so long?" "Yes; rented it to an actor." "Did he find out its reputation?" "That's the very thing that decided him to take the house." "Rather surprising!" "He said it would be such a comfort for him to get inside of a house where the鬼 walked every night." Snake Story. "Before he went dishin'," said the town story teller, "he swallowed 'bout a pint an', a half of snakebite remedy, 'an' of course you know what that is. Well, after the snake bit him the reptile cut all sorts o' capers, kase the remedy went straight to its head. Last thing it tried to do wunt to swaler its tail, an', it got itself in the form of a hoop an' I'm a liar of the children didn't roll it around all day!" HUNTING FOR BIG GAME. The Highlands of Ontario is an ideal spot for the sportman during the open hunting season for big game. In the Temagami region moose are plentiful and may be killed during the period from October 16th to November 15th. This territory is a forest preserve of vast expanse, and in addition to being the hunter's paradise, its waters are home to a number of rare species. The home of the red deer is located somewhat to the south of Temagami, particularly in the districts known as "Muskoka Lakes," "Lake of Baya," "Magnanatawan River," "Lake Nipissing," and "Kawartha Lakes" territories.

Perplexed mother writes: "My child has sneezed fits after the morning sponge bath. What would you ad vise? Some mothers give their babies a hypodermic of morphine for sneezing. But we have always felt that this was too harsh a remedy. Give the baby about three tablespoonfuls of morphine and a pinch of lemon peel. The sugar makes this remedy more grateful to the child.
