When the magazine issued its first number to illustrate the fashions, women wore hoopskirts and shawls queen boomers and quaint coifes, produced in the current issue of the magazine, which has developed marvelously along all lines until it now offers the best in literature, while it speaks authoritatively concerning all that pertains to the art of dressing well.
In this anniversary number, Mabel Potter Daggett discovers "When the Delineator Will Concert," beginning with the story of how Mrs. Butterick stopped sewing on her baby's dress one evening long age, to suggest to her husband that women would be glad to have patterns for their clothes. Charles Hanson Towns reviews the Noted Contributor to the Delineator, "among the most famous Honore Willese describes "The Street The Delineator Lives On"—a street in which numerous historic characters once dwelt.

DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1910.
Getting Together for Victory.
The old republican party seems to have gone to wreck with peti-differences or jealousies, and especially the wide gap separating the Progressive and Standpatters. They have had a hard battle at the primaries and various conventions this summer. In fact nearly every state these two factions have met in battle array, and the progressives have won in most of the fights. They are now in control of the party if all of their nominees could be elected. Of course we have left just enough of the old guards in the nominations to lend hope and consideration to the rank standpatters, that he is very anxious to have them elected, on the other hand the young, active progressive is so very eager to elect his men so the tendency is to unite as each party has interest in some candidate; and they say we'd rather have half a republican than a whole democrat; but what we colored voters ought to know, is where do we come in? We suppose as usual—the end!

WILL PUBLISH THE CRISIS
Review of Causes Which Led to the Organization of the Association In New York and What Its Policy Will Be-Career and Work of Professor W. E. B. Du Bois.
By FRANKLIN E. JOHNSON.
The problem of adjusting the differences between the heterogeneous masses in the United States, so that each man will enjoy equality before the law and equality of opportunity for children has agitated the minds of statemen oft and on since 1776. The overthrow of England's sovereignty in the United States and the establishment of a democratic form of government was the first. The existence of slavery, the agitation against it, and the abrogation of the step in the recognition of the brotherhood of man. The enfranchisement of the Negro and the abrogation of many of the
W. E. B. DU BOIR, PH. D.
laws preventing the Negro from following various fields of activity were steps in recognition of the principles of democracy.
The disaffrenchment laws, jim-crow measures, restricted school facilities for the race, are efforts to undo the start made for the extension to all of what many are pleased to term "Jeffersonian principles." The rights of the Negro and a steadily growing race consciousness as well as knowledge of public affairs and the growing economic independence of the race has come the conviction that the spirit of democratic principles is no less for the colored man than for the white.
A number of white and colored men, all firm believers in the principles of democracy and change opposes to the war with social prejudices and its manifestation in discriminating laws, have organized the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with offices in the Evening Post building, 20 Vesey street, New York.
The need of such an association can be best gleaned from an address which one of its leading promoters, Oswald Garrison, wrote in the Evening Post, delivered at the recent meeting in New York of the National Negro Business league, Said Mr. Villard:
"My friends of the Business league, do not let the historian of the future say that in this money making age the colored American became so engrossed in the accumulation of means and the establishment of business as to forget those things that cannot hope to succeed and rise to great usefulness, to be really worthy of his heritage of American citizenship.
"Do not forget that, while every effort must be spent in fortifying ourselves in every community by business and material success, equal effort must be devoted to that of far greater movement, the insistence upon the Negro's equal and political rights in every place and at all times. "Anything that denies equal equality because the law is slavery. "My friends, this republic cannot exist half slave, half free, any more today than it could in the time of Abraham Lincoln." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, the eminent authority on racial questions, has been engaged as secretary of the association. Professor Du Bols is a native of Massachusetts. After graduating from Flask university, 1888 he entered Harvard University, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts in 1890 and the degree of master of arts the following year.
He was awarded a fellowship and, after studying in Berlin, was award
ed the degree of doctor of philosophy by Harvard in 1805. He did some special research work for the University of Pennsylvania, after which he went to Atlanta university to take charge of the department of economics and sociology. Dr. Du Bois is the author of "Soul of Black Folk," a history of John Brown, "The Suppression of the Slave Trade," "The Philadelphia Negro" and many pamphlets on the race question. When he resigned from the professorship to accept the position of professor of publicity and research for the National Association of theancement of Colored People the board of trustees of Atlanta university, in accepting his resignation, paid him the following glowing tribute: "We accept with regret the resignation of W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Ph.D. from the professorship of economics and history at Atlanta university.
"For thirteen years he has served this institution with great ability and devotion. He has proved himself a careful scholar, a firm disciplinarians and a thorough and inspiring teacher. "The charm of his personality and his prevailing good cheer have added much to the enjoyment of life in the school family.
"Under his guidance the department of economics and history has been greatly strengthened and has brought Atlanta university wide recognition among scholars.
"We can only hope that his new field of labor will give him larger opportunity for the exercise of his exceptional powers for the benefit of the Negro power and of humanity."
The association will begin the publication of a magazine, the Crisis, the 1st of November. Its aim each month will be to record every important happenings and movement in the world of journalism. The magazine will interracial relation and especially those which affect the Negro American. The magazine will be the organ of no elites or party and will avoid personal rancor of all sorts. Dr. Du Bois will be editor in chief. His assistants will include Professor K. J. Russell, Dr. Walt Garrison Villard, Charles Edward Russell, William Stanley Braithwaite, poet and writer; J. Max Barber and Mrs. Dunlap Maclean.
ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY
ORGANIZED IN BOSTON.
Afro-American Women Unite for Active Campaign Against Injustice.
An anti-lynching society composed of Afro-American women has been organized in Boston. The purpose of the new association is to call the attention of the legal authorities to the too frequent lynching of innocent citizens. It will also make investigations as to the cause of such crimes with a view of apprehending and having the guilty punished according to law instead of mob rule. The promoters of the movement met the residence of Mrs. M. C. Parish, in Chandler street, Boston, recently and perfected a permanent organization, electing the following officers: President, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson; vice president, Mrs. H. Jewell;
A. B.
MRS. L. G. PARRISH.
cording secretary, Mrs. V. C. Clark, treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, and chaplain, Mrs. M. C. Hall.
Among others who took part in the organization are Mrs. Carrie O. Reed, Mrs. A. Bisbee, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs. E. F. Sport, Mrs. B Anderson and M. E Jewell.
The harmony of thought, the true principle for vindication of their womanhood and the race, exhibited in the efforts for the public meeting and its success, with the triumph gained between the press, cemented the energy to remain if not lessen, the continued evils perpetrated against the race.
Already they have plans formulated for a big and lynching meeting in the near future and are assured support by some of the best leading white women and men of the country.
Why Claflin University Successes.
One of the things that contributes so largely to the growth and success of Claflin university is the loyalty of her constituents, says the Columbia (S. C.) Floughman.

New Jersey can hardly be blamed for making the suggestion that Edison should be killed years and cannot be expected to begin a job that would be likely to last a lifetime.

HUNDREDS ARE DEAD
FEW SETTLERS IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE ESCAPED.
SEVEN TOWNS OFF THE MAP
Fifty Miles of the Rainy Lake Country a Mass of Fire—Martial Law for the Stricken District—Whole Families Are Destroyed.
Rainy River, Ont.—It was estimated Monday that at least 500 lives and 700,000,000 worth of property had been lost in the forest fires prevailing in this region.
The tales of horrible suffering brought in Monday by refugees is almost beyond narration. Oscar Johnson, wife and three children stood five hours in the Baudette river ducking their heads when the heat became too intense. They say the water in the river was heated to an uncomfortable temperature and that steam rose from the surface. It was some time before the loss of Life is somehow even approximately, and in fact it may never be known.
The residents of Rainy River, Ont. are doing everything possible to assist the homeless residents of the two American towns.
Poverty of the worst kind is added to the woes of the throngs that flocked into International Falls and Rainy River.
There were hundreds of homes destroyed in the territory, and as there are no roads in the district save for the trails through the bush, it is feared that many lives have been lost that will not be reported for weeks.
"The state of Minnesota is sparing no expense to check the fire. The state fire warden is mustering every man he can procure, and the structures to use are everywhere means at his disposal for every cost. Rainy River, Ont.—Fire rangers throughout the forest fire territory between this place and Warroad, Minn., sent in reports Tuesday that 139 bodies had been located. Of these but 80 were recovered and only 60 have been identified.
While fires can be seen to the east and southeast, their progress is not dangerous to human life. Fire rangers here complain that the heat of the surface and gases arising therefrom prevent their proceeding far into the masses of charred tree limbs and burned underbrush. The air in the devastated district is still smoky and no further attempt will be made to locate bodies until re-enforcements and relief are secured.
Five nurses, a doctor, 50 cots and thousands of loaves of bread and thousands of pounds of meat have reached here from Winnipeg.
The streets of Rainy River are being patrolled by 60 armed guards under Fire Warden Hurst and national guardsmen from Bemidjil, Minn., guarded old Baudette. The funerals of 19 fire victims have been held here. The burned area is at least 38 miles wide and many of the settlers are new to the country and comparatively unknown locally. Much of this land was thrown open to homestead entry this summer and many of the settlers have gone in far beyond the roads, where they had only a path to reach their place. It may be months before they are discovered, and some of them may now be buried. Many bodies of fire victims have been robbed. This caused an order of "Shoot to kill," which applied to all the burned district.

CENT POSTAGE NOW PROBABLE
POSTMASTER GENERAL SHOWS
RATE REDUCTION POSSIBLE.
Washington, Oct. 13.—That the postoffice department will soon be self-sustaining and that penny postage for first-class letters is a probability of the near future are statements made by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
"Before the close of another fiscal year the federal postal establishment will become self-sustaining. This will be accomplished without curtailting in the slightest the service rendered or lessening in any respect its efficiency."
This was the statement: made by the postmaster general, in connection with the announcement that he had submitted to the treasury department, five days in advance of the time fixed by law, his estimates of appropriations for the post office department and the postal service during the fiscal year beginning on July 1.
The announcement hereof Mr. Hitchcock has indicated his belief that it may be possible within a year or two, through the operation of plans he had worked out, to place the postal service on a paying basis.
ROOSEVELT IN AIRSHIP TRIP
Colonel Goes Up with Hoxay at St. Louis, Remains Aloft Three Minutes and 20 Seconds.
St. Louis.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt went up in an airplane with Aviator Hoxey Tuesday and made three laps of the field. He was in the air three minutes and twenty seconds.
Colonel Roosevelt, after alighting, said it was the finest experience he ever had and that he would like to stay up an hour if he had the time. He said he did not feel a particle of fear.
Prior to his visit to the aviation field Colonel Roosevelt made a speech before the Business Men's league of St. Louis in which he prophesied the ultimate completion of the entire lakes-to-the-gulf deep watery. He said he was certain the project would be completed in time although it was necessary to go slowly and perfect the plans for the work.

Queer Questions
Queer questions come over the telephone to the newspaper offices. Here was one that the man who chanced to answer the phone had put up to him the other day:
"Say," began the unknown seeker after the truth, "do you--do you remember who it was that killed Abel?" "Why, Cain, of course," replied the newspaper man, who put in several years at Sunday school. "Who'd j suppose?" observed the man at the other end in an annoed tone, "dogon if I ain't gone and made a fool o' myself. Course it was Cain, now that you mention it, but I made a two to one bet with a fellow that "was Goliath, and now I'll have to go without a new overcrowd, I reckon, this next winter."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

If brevity is the soul of wit, one of the wittiest speeches on record was made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived in the northern part of Indiana, a long distance from any village. Hearing that the Rev. Mr. Goodwin was to preach in a township some twenty miles distant, she resolved to be present, and as no other way offered, she walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and was so pleased at the appreciation which it showed that at the close of the sermon he mentioned the fact to the congregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs to tell them who came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the audience with great solemnity, and said:
"I hoofed it."
She then sat down again.—Youth's Companion.

DAME NATURE HINTS When the Food Is Not Suited.
When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is generally with the food. The old Dame is always faithful and one Dame should act at once.
To put off the change is so risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says:
"For years I could not safely eat my breakfast. I tried food kinds of breakfast food, but they were all soft, starchy messes which gave me distressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too, which appeared to benefit me at the time, but added to the headaches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit the old coffee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts instead. I shall never regret taking his advice. I began using them three months ago. Change they have worked in my stomach after eating, and I never have headaches. I have gained 12 pounds in weight and feel better in every way."
"Grape-Nuts make a delicious as well as a nutritious dish, and I find that Postum is easily digested and never produces dyspepsia symptom." "Get the little book, "The Road to Welville," in nkpz.

VABT RAILROAD STRIKE IN
FRANCE IS PARALYZING BUSI-
NESS EVERYWHERE.
WAR MEASURES ARE ADOPTED
Labor Leaders Boast They Will Make Tie-Up Complete - Telegraph Wires Are Cut-Paris Garrison is Reinforced.
Paris — The railroad strike has completely tied up the Northern, Eastern, Western, State and Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean lines, and the situation has assumed a rost serous aspect The leaders of nearly every class of workingman are threatening to call a general industrial strike that will parlayize business in every section of the country.
The electricians and the employee of the omnibus, metropolitan and subway transportation lines of this city Wednesday considered the advisability of seizing this opportunity to launch a strike for the redress of longstanding grievances. The situation throughout the republic is regarded as grave. The railway companies are making a desperate struggle to maintain service with the aid of military engineers and men from the parly, but are meeting with little success.
The president of the grain syndicate said that the stock of flour on the Paris market did not exceed 75,000 quintals, which is less than eight days' supply for Paris.
This does not include the flour in bakers' hands, which, however, is not large. The bulk of meats, vegetables and fruits come in over the Western Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean lines.
The National Railroad union, comprises only 100,000 of the total 300,000 men employed in the railway service, but a large majority of the nonunion men are participating in the strike.
The government is adopting measures similar to those practised in time of war.
The calling of 30,000 of the strikers for army reserve duty is not likely. Heavy any immediate effect on the army as the military code allows a man a delay of 15 days before responding to the call.
The strike leaders boast that soon the tie-up will be complete throughout the country. Premier Briand has issued a public statement in which he denounced the strike as an insurrection, purely, built up on criminal foundations.
The government of Paris has been reinforced by troops from the provinces and all the principal points along the railroads effected by the strike are guarded.
Many telegraph wires were cut including several connecting French points with London and Brussels. President Falleriers hurriedly returned from his estate in the south and conferred with the ministers, the amount of food with entirely. Already the market is pinched. Enormous quantities of milk and fish en route from Normandy and Belgium are stalled at points along the Northern road.

SAID BY. THE YOUNGSTERS
Some Bright Remarks Worth Preserving, That Have Fallen From Childish Lips.
A little girl, after listening to the aymn, "In heaven there stands an open door," remarked that there must be two heavens, "cause grants and awards are open for where she is." And a dear little country laddle, visiting a city Sunday school and hearing about the "many mansions" of the better land, later explained that they had been "studying all about Paradise Flats." Ecclesiastical modes and matters frequently are puzzling to the little ones. A small Chicago citizen was taken to a fine church, where the music, windows, furnishings, and all accords are impregnated. The mishimim living up to his enviable reputation as an orator, indulged in a brilliant rhetorical flight.
"I know," he declared, "who glids the sun and silvers the stars and paints the flowers and tints the sky and lends to the rivers their beauty, to the ocean its glory, to the skies their perfect light," and so on through long and effective periods. Finally came the interrogatory climax: "Who is it, my friends, who performs all these wonders? Who is it? Who?"
From the front pew where the baby listener had been all eager attention came a shrill, disappointed pipe: "You said you knew!"

When Willie goes to school next week he will have a new teacher. When the teacher will like Willie when she begins to know him, but the process may take several terms. Willie's teacher began to like him just before the close of the school year, and she testified to her affection by offering him a pocketknife.
"There, Willie," she said, "you have tried so hard to be a good boy that I am going to give you this nice four-folded pocketknife—but you must promise me never to cut the school floor." "Take it back, teacher," said Willie, sadly.—Cleveland Plaindealer.

"My eyes are twice as high, would they look twice as small?" she asked, showing the mathematical turn not unnatural in the offspring of a successful broker.
Papa answered "Yes."
She made a quick calculation and reasoned that she won't amount to much when they get to heaven, will they?

Childhood is Estimated at Near its True Value in the 'Economy of Nations, Says Mary E. Mott, State Press Agent.
Ma. cengo, Ia., Oct. 13—This is undoubtedly a 'Children's' Age in which we are living; an age when childhood is estimated at somewhere near its true value in the economy of nations. The world is at least cognizant of the fact that youth is the material from which citizens are moulded, that the strength and endurance of a government must depend largely upon its moral and physical training and strength of its children, writes Mary E. Mott, State Press Superintendent of the Mothers' Congress.
More parents each year are considering the conditions that should accompany the launching of a new barque upon the sea of humanity. Educators are giving more time and more thought to the relation of mind and body, and the natural steps in the development of child-life. Laborers are constantly introducing new immanent development of defective children enabling them to take their places in life successfully.
Legislators are working out childlabor laws and carefully tested educational measures, and judicial authorities are advocating and establishing the Juvenile Court and "Delinquent Boy" experiments. Municipalities are learning that it is cheaper and pleasanter to make gymnasiums and swimming pools and domestic facilities hurt him to increase police forces and to prosecute criminals, and behold! beautifully equipped park-play-groups are springing up in the crowded districts of our great cities, which means a new lease of life to thousands. Behind all these movements for the betterment of conditions surrounding childhood, stands the Mothers' Congress of the world agitating, planning, and eventually making sentiment for the best care training and development of the world's children.
Mrs. Schoff, the president of the National Congress of Mothers, will be in attendance at the Fifth Biennial of the Iowa State Congress, and will speak of this great movement from the view-point of her wider experience. Mrs. Helen J. Hafferan of Chicago, chairman of the National Parent-Teacher Association; Lura Hubbell Phillips of Ames, chairman of the Agricultural Extension Board of the Iowa State Congress, and Dr. Margaret Clarke of Waterloo will also be among the speakers at the Fifth Biennial. The Des Moines Union of Mothers' Clubs will entertain all delegates to the Congress and Mrs. B. F. Carroll will give a reception to the members at her home on November of Nov. 2, where all may meet and become acquainted with each other. The Fifth Biennial bids fair to be the most interesting and helpful that the Iowa Congress has ever held. All Mother's' Clubs and Parent-Teacher Associations of Iowa are cordially invited to send delegates, one for every ten members enrolled.
The officers of the Iowa Congress which will meet in Des Moines, Nov. 1 and 2, are as follows: President Mrs. F. S. Watts, Audubon; Vice Presidents, Mrs. Chas. McCandles, Davenport; Mrs. B. F.

TROUBLE
"I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limbs, from the knee to the toes. I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there, I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I was scared to sack an had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many Other Considerations Mark it as Most Suitable Spot for Dedication of Great Work.
Public sentiment has decided that the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915 shall be celebrated with a great International Exposition in which women may participate and the question of where this Exposition is to be held will be settled by Congress at its approaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for the honor of holding this Exposition, and both cities are calling for the creation of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will be a great educational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our population that educates educational advantages, this in turn, depends upon its location, as the time in traveling to and from the Exposition, and the cost in railroad and Pullman fares, are the most important factors. Considering these matters, New Orleans' claims to being the "Logical Point" for this Panama Exposition are the most substantially substantiated by the following facts:—New Orleans is 500 miles from the center of population in the United States. San Francisco is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radius of 500 miles from New Orleans there are 17,500,000 people. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 2,000,000 people. Within a radius of 500 miles New Orleans, there are 65,000,000. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 6,000,000.
At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans, there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20,000,000. Averaging 900 miles from San Francisco there are only 8 large cities, with a combined population of just 1,000,000. The average distance of these cities to New Orleans is 732 miles,—to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 75 per cent. of the people of the United States could go to an Exposition there at an average expense for railroad fare of $12.50, as against an average of $27.50 to the Pacific Coast; and for several millions of our people, the Pullman fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for the average amount to more than all their transportation expense for a trip to New Orleans.
This is an important public occasion to set the record set by the congress that convenes in December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposition, and if held in New Orleans a great many more could spare the time and money for the trip that could go to San Francisco. Therefore, we urge our readers to visit the State of the congressman from this district, requesting them to support New Orleans in the contest.
Managing a Husband.
Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never let them dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about, no man will endure coercion. But managing! It is an art so subtle, so clusive, that few women understand even the rudiments of it. Sisters are the most Woman's Life. In every human being there is a spark of the divina; it is yours to fan that spark into a flame—that is managing a man—it is to get the very best out of him there is to have, and not two women in ten can do it. Do not think that there is anything unworthy in managing a man—to bring out the best is a high vocation. Only let us see that there are women who have made angels of men, but at the cost of their own divinity. There is room for more than one unselfish person in a family.
She Has Changed Her Opinion.
She Has Changed Her Opinion.
"I hear your malden anist is visiting you."
"Yes. Came yesterday."
"How long does she expect to stay?"
"Oh, don't know—probably for time now."
"I feel sorry for your wife. I believe I heard her say not long ago that she despised the old lady."
"She used to, but she has changed her opinion—in fact, has great respect for her now. Aunt Hetty brought three trunks, two of them filled with things she smuggled in from Europe."
