DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1911. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Sitting as I am this afternoon in the shade of a beautiful tall pine tree fully 100 feet high in a yard of a home that has been owned by the colored people for more than a quarter of a century, Mrs. Skinner's house in Monastery. Mrs. Skinner you this observation of this house. I they seem to me, I think that my last letter left my readers arriving in the Tri-Gites. Davenport is known as a state within herself a wide open town has undergone a wonderful change n regard to its morals and law enforcement to compels her soon men to comply strictly to the law of law and order. As a result, the character of her people, at least the colored portion has been lifted up and benefited. Where we had two colored saloons we now have none; where once had been a beer garden we now have now being gluing churches, they are now being attested and are building a new A. M. e Church under the supervision of Rev. T. B. Stovall, on Ripley street, which, when completed, will be a large, denomination. Rev. Stovall has done a large church will cost about $10,000 when completed and with the donation of $3,000 that a benevolent lady left will just about pay all of the church left to about the benefit. The Baptist is doing well under Rev. Barr. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Green are doing well. The latter still keeps her church bus line. They are church workers Mr. Green is manager of the Davenport cornet house. Mrs. Ruth Bright is quite siek. Rev. L. J. Phillips and family, presiding elder, has located here and adds much to society.

They are doing nicely. Mrs. F. Baker and Mrs. C. B. Lewis, who were appointed by Gov. Carroll as delegates to the Colored Educational Society are preparing to go. Mrs. Rose Corbin is successful lady in business in Davenport. She runs a hand laundry employing from three to six hands and is making a success. Scott McGaw is making jasmin of several office buildings. He has a nice family of young girls, some of whom will be under school. He runs his green house. He still running his pool hall and soft drink parlor. Bock Island is the oldest of the Trit Cities and second in size as Davenport is the largest. Here we attended a picnic given by all the colored churches of the three cities. It was a large, nice crowd of about 1,000 people. Croquet, Ye Editor, baseball, and other games. Three games and losing none in croquet, but one in horseshoe. Mrs. S. J. Dangerfield is still in the hairdressing business, doing well. Wm. Taylor, senior and junior, are doing nicely. Mr. R. H. Pollard is still at the Rock Island depot. C. E. Dickerson is a young man just opening up an ice cream and lunch M.

Here now dwells 75,000 Afro-Americans, more perhaps than are located in any other given city in America. Here one can see all nations, all cultures, all peoples, all the educated and the illiterate, the good and the very bad. Here one can see the innumerable snares, traps and devices devised to catch and entrap our good boys and girls who go to the big cities. It is here vice and crime, misfeasance and injustice, the young people of both races down. It is this influence that the best men and women of this age are battling with. Yet amidst all of these sad scenes there are a large number of churches and other Christian organizations. There are fifty-one colored church organizations in this city ranging in membership from 100 to Mt. Olivet Baptist church with her 3,500 members end up on her pastor. Dr. Flischner is end pastor. Then comes Quinn Chapel A. M. church, the mother of negro Methodism, about 2,000 members. She celebrated last Sunday her sixty-four anniversary with that able devine, Dr. Cook, as her pastor. Then comes Betshea Baptist with more than a thousand members. Bethel A. M. E. with her 1,500 members. Christian minister, Dr. Roberts is its beloved pastor, who is a candidate. bishop at the next general conference to be held in Kansas City in 1912. No better selection could be made from the A. M. E. church. He is an ideal minis tipe ripe with experience, a true Christian living so I am told to its highest standard. The Institutional church well known eloquent divine. The Great Presbyterian is still pastored by Rev. Misses Jackson, a splendid type of an educated well trained Christian minister, who I am told has pastored this congregation for nearly twenty years. He built the nice church they now own free of any debt. They have an ideal three hundred completely graded. The Thomas Episcopal church on the corner of 38th and Wabash Ave. is worshiping in their new church. The Baptist has just completed a new Baptist church. It is said to be one of the prettiest and most modern in Chicago. There are several other interesting churches at Bethel Sunday School permit at this time. At Bethel Sunday School, brated their fifteenth anniversary. The evening was given over to the Business Men's league of Chicago whose president, Dr. George C. Hall, presided. U. S District Attorney S. Lang Williams and several others of promotion spoke. They give some very interesting statements they are compiling. Some were that they paid more than $200 American; that they bought more than 200,000 pairs of shoes each year and own no shoe store; that the 25,000 alone spent more than $250,000 annually for clothes; that they paid the street cars $8,000 per day in street car fare; hence you can see what a power these 75,000 people would be if they owned business enterprises. On open house says that they make a daily average of $300 off the colored attendants on State street. Joseph Jones is still doing well in his barber shop. He was formerly a Des Moines man.

They are doing well. Rev. Timothy Heaves, P. E. says all of his old acquaintances and friends in Des Moines when he comes down there in September to the Annual Conference but I suspect that Bro. Timothy is one of the strong candidates for delegate to the general conference from son coming out and he will be a busy man. We trust that the conference will send our dear brother, he is a very deserving Christian man. Dr. Cook and Dr. Carey are candidates and say that they would like to go to the general convention bank, bank real estate offices, two insurance companies, four drug stores and ten grocery stores.

Although it was hot the pain nevertheless was no bar to the pleasure participants in swinging, boat riding and various other kinds of amusements promoted by the hostesses. And the dinner—well it was fit for a king and everybody ate till ne thought he was going to "bust." All the delicacies of the season were in evidence and enthused by everyone about 30 in pleasure of sitting at the festual board. About 8:30 p. m. the guests repaired to the home of Mrs. Helen Anderson where vocal and instrumental music was indulged in until the out-of-town visitors had to leave for their homes, feeling sorry that the curtain would soon fall on one of the most delightful times of the season.

Meanwhile the drinking cup is kissing its friends good-by. Take things as easy as you can during the heated term. Don't worry. It is lucky that this year's styles in thermometers have plenty of room at the top. Flies and mosquitoes are objectionable, but the firebug especially needs swatting. About time to hear from the pest-f grous friend up north who is "sleeping under blankets." It is never too late for the scientists to explain that the heat wave was caused by sun spots.

China is selling bonds for a $30,000,000 railroad to connect another portion of the past with the present. Another way to keep cool is to refuse to become hot under the collar when reading the weather report. People who cannot go to the ball games can enjoy themselves watching the mercury make home runs. Some aviators doubtless will fly across the English channel before breakfast merely as an appetizer. "Gray hairs," says a clergyman, "are sent to us as a punishment for our sins." What about bald headed men? Two deaths resulted in Missouri from a fight over hot coffee. This beverage ought to be had in summer, anyway.

Burning up money may be a costly pastime, but burning up icehouses at this time of the year is the height of extravagance. We see by the papers that a woman in Atlantic City was fined $40 for being a scold. No wonder Atlantic City is a popular place. A Canadian Pacific locomotive has been wrecked by a moose thus demonstrating the fact that Canada is still a trifle wild and crude.

J., are not allowed to bark after nine o'clock at night. We suppose every kennel is equipped with an alarm clock. We are told that two New Yorkers have set sail for Italy in a 25 foot yawl. It is bad enough to go to Italy, but why try it in a 25 foot yawl? Would it not be a good idea, like-wise, to award a special prize to the automobile that can make the slowest time down a steep and dangerous hill? So vigorous, so vehement, so red-hot is the current Swat-the-fly campaign that we have been expecting some protesting body to rise up and shout "knockers!" Can't a fly buzz in this town without some reformer "knocking" him? A man leaves $3,500 for the maintenance of a parrot he cured of profanity, having acquired the bird while he was a sailor. It is not stated how he cured himself. Two French editors have satisfied their honor by scratching each other's arms with swords. As a method of settling things the French way is to be admired. Few methods of settlement are so cheap. The summer outing drownings have begun, and the pity of them is that they could be so easily avoided by care and prudence. But it is a weakness of the American character to take its pleasures recklessly.

Washington.—By a vote of 48 to 30 the senate by a coalition of Democrats and Republican insurgents of that body passed a compromise farmers' free list bill, which removed the tariff from a large category of agricultural implements and farm operating materials when imported from Canada. The original house bill first was defeated and then reoffered in modified form by Senator Kern of Indiana. As amended and finally adopted the bill differed but little from the original. The principal articles placed on the tree list are: Agricultural implements, cotton bagging, cotton ties, leather, boots and shoes, fence wire, meats, cereals, flour, bread, timber, lumber, sewing machines salt. The Kern compromise takes freshment products out of the free-list bill, except such as come from countries that admit certain American farm products free. The senate earlier defeated Senator Bailey's amendment taking all meats out of the free list. The Kern amendment represented the attempt to reconcile the Democrats interests with the insurgent Republicans who believed some further concessions should be obtained for agricultural products. The senate began its final struggle on the bill with the defeat of amendments offered by Senator Gronna of North Dakota to put cement, lime coal and coke on the free list and to exempt boots and shoes from its provisions. Senator Gronna secured a roll call on the amendment for free coal and coke, but was beaten, 52 to 32.

Alaskan Delegate Renews His Allegation That Attorney General Shielded Criminals. Washington. — Attorney General Wickersham and Alaskan Delegate Wickersham faced each other before the house committee on judiciary which is making an investigation into government affairs in the northwest and charges of "graft" and "bribery" were banded with much freedom by the delegate during the hearing. The question of the insufficiency of what the delegate declared was proof that the attorney general "purpose shielded and defended Alaska syndicate criminals against punishment" arose. Representative Sterling suggested that Delegate Wickersham's charges indicated only failure of the department of justice to prosecute. "Oh, he has gone way beyond that," interrupted Attorney General Wickersham. "Yes," said Delegate Wickersham. "I insist there was a deliberate attempt to protect." The delegate declared that United States Marshal H. K. Love, who figured in the Cunningham coal land cases, had discharged a deputy named Bowers, who was also jailer at Kodiak because he "wouldn't give up the graft." "He wouldn't pay Love $100 a month out of what he received for the board of prisoners," the delegate explained. Delegate Wickersham, a Republican, reviewed his attempts to have the department of justice move against D. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate and J. H. Bullock of the John J. Sesner company for alleged conspiracy on government coal contracts whereby he alleges the government lost $50,000. The delegate charged that federal officials in Alaska had been bribed. Representative Howland of Ohio demanded that he prove that statement "I will before I finish," declared the delegate.

White, former member of the Illinois legislature, told in detail before the senate investigating committee the story of the alleged corruption in connection with the election of Senator William Lorimer. Attorney Marble, counsel for the committee, led White to tell his story in narrative form, taking all events in their chronological order. White received Pullman passes. Transportation could be exchanged among members, and destinations on Pullman passes could be altered to suit the convenience of the holders. Then the committee took up the actual confession. White said that on the night of the twenty-fourth, 1908, Lee O'Neill Brown, Democratic leader, first asked him to vote for Lorker. "Browne gave me $100 about the time the legislature adjourned, a few days later. I saw Brown June 16, at the Briggs house, in Chicago. He gave me $50 that night, and told me to call again the next day. I did so, and he gave me $550, making $1,000 in all. He wore a belt, in which he was carrying about $30,000." White said he met Wilson, and Representatives Clark, Shepard, Luke and Link at the hotel. "Luke was complaining about the amount of money he had received," said White. "He said he only got $900, and he could have had $1,500 earlier in the session." *I told Luke I hadn't been paid to vote for Lorimer. He said, 'Oh, yes you were. You got $1,000—same as the rest of us.'" "I asked him if he had been given Lorimer money. He said he had—that he had made his deal direct with Lorimer. "We went up to Wilson's room in the hotel. Shepard went into the bathroom with Wilson. When he came out, Wilson called me into the bathroom, and gave me $900. 'There's all of it,' he said, 'and I'm glad to be relieved of the burden.' "He said that the governor had vetoed some of the bills for which money was to have been distributed. Then he said that Browne was sick, and that was the reason why he (Wilson) had to come down to distribute the money." White said that he met Representative Beckemeyer on a nearby street that day. Beckemeyer later confessed to taking bribe money. LUNATICS BURNED TO DEATH Eight Die in Aylum Fire at Hamilton, Ont.-Many Knocked Senseless and Saved. Hamilton, Ont.-The loss of eight lives and desperate struggles with maniacs who fought against rescue attended a fire which destroyed one of the main buildings of the insane asylum on the side of the mountain southwest of the city. There were 800 patients in the building when the fire was discovered and only a well-trained fire-fighting corps and admirable coolness and bravery on the part of the nurses and attendants under Doctor English prevented a greater loss of life. The fire started on the fourth floor, where the violent insane were kept. Most of the men, guarded by attendants, moved down three flights of stairs out of the fire zone in orderly procession, but about twenty, driven to frenzy by the smoke and excitement of a midnight fire, fought off their rescuers with desperate fur. The city firemen ran scaling ladder up to the third and fourth floor windows. Crawling into the stifling smoke, the firemen groped their way about until they found a manlac. He was still able to offer resistance, and it was necessary to knock him senseless, when he was dropped into the life nets below. Eight of the insane and one attendant who had lost consciousness were saved in this way. STANDARD TO OBEY MANDATE Plan for Dissolution of Oil Trust Announced—Stock to Be Distributed Soon.

BRYAN IS FLAYED UNDERWQOD IN SPEECH IN HOUSE DECLARES NEBRASKA MAN A FALSIFIER. MET WITH WILD APPLAUSE Charge of Delaying Iron and Steel Tariff Revision by Committee is Causes of Vitrolic Attack by Democratic Leader. Washington.—In one of the most remarkable scenes in the house since the beginning of the extra session Representative Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic leader of the house, fired a verbal broadside at William Jennings Bryan for the latter's criticism of his position on the extension of the tariff revision program. Mr. Underwood's Democratic colleagues wildly cheered him as he made his vitrolic attack upon the Nebraskan. Excoriating the three times candidate of the Democratic party for presidential honors, Leader Underwood denounced Mr. Bryan's statements as false, defended his (Underwood's) attitude as to revision of the iron and steel sailor schedules, and said Bryan has placed upon every Democratic member implications unfounded in fact. He called on his colleagues of the ways and means committee for corroboration of his attitude. Mr. Underwood was backed up in a similarly striking speech by Representative Kitchin of North Carolina, long a devoted friend of Bryan. Mr. Kitchin expressed surprise that any Democrat should so malign Mr. Underwood and the party, and through all this arraignment not a voice was raised in defense of Bryan. It all came about from a published interview, which purported to be "authorized" by Mr. Bryan, declaring it was time Democratic Leader Underwood was "unmasked." "The action of Chairman Underwood in opposing an immediate effort to reduce the iron and steel schedule reveals the real Underwood," said the Bryan interview. "Speaker Clark and other tariff reformers tried to secure the passage of a resolution instructing the ways and means committee to take up other schedules, including the iron and steel schedule, but Underwood and Fitzgerald, the Fitzgerald who saved Cannon in the last congress, succeeded in defeating the resolution." "The unmasking of Chairman Underwood will serve a useful purpose," added the interview, "If it arouses the Democrats to an understanding of the mistake made in putting Mr. Underwood at the head of the committee, if he solidifies his policy of delay." As the clerk finished reading the Bryan interview, Mr. Underwood, in calm and even tones, opened the vials of his wrath. He declared the because of his investments of the iron and steel mills in his own state Alabama, he had urged the ways and means committee at the beginning of the session to save him embarrassment by taking up the iron and steel schedule at once. This had not been done by the committee, he said, because it had determined that the text schedules should be revised first to satisfy public clamor. ENTOMBED MINER IS SAVED Joseph Clary, imprisoned in Joplin Mine 72 Hours, Take Out in Fair Condition. Joplin, Mo.—Joseph Clary, twenty two years old, was rescued from the White Oak mine after being buried 72 hours 80 feet below the surface. Clary, who is a son of a prominent mine operator, was found in seepage water up to his neck, his face and hair was covered with mud but the pallor of his countenance showed through and although weak will recover. The work of rescue was hastened by freshly caving ground, the lives of hundreds, of spectators who thronged about the shaft being endangered as the earth slowly settled. After the crack began to widen ropes were no longer required to keep the spectators back. But relatives of the entombed miner did not waver. A sister of Clary, Mrs. W. H. Brookshire, stood within a foot of the open shaft, and entreaties failed to move her despite the danger. It had been intended to leave Clary at the bottom of the shaft for a full hour after removing him from the drift in order that he might get accustomed to the fresher air before being hoisted to the surface, but the possibility of the entire party being buried alive and the frenzied pleadings of the father, who begged the rescuers to hurry, hastened the work and Clary, with his eyes blindfolded to protect him from sun blindness, was lifted to the top, a heavy rope having been looped about his body.

Resolution of Condolence. Leaves have their time to fall and flowers to wither at the North wind's edge. We have to allure all seas, our O'Donnell has all seasure for the own. O'Donnell, one of our co-workers, Elizabeth Gaines of the Self-Culture Club, has been claimed by the grim monster, the unexpected liberator of the soul. We loved her and that ever prevailing devotion and promptness, always ready and willing to do her best in forest; with caution when we would be insecure because of her dull calling us with impiration (and not satisfaction) toed; with caution when we would be rash; with calm, clear truthful cheerfulness when our thoughts were dark. Whereas, filling us with this consolation she has won the merited title, "The Shepherdess of our Flock." We find no relief in word or tear but we do find relief in that we live in hopes to meet her. We find no relief in her love, her death we insult. If there was a woman who was a part of the time and community in which she lived, it was she; and we look upon her paler face in Death, we wonder in alent words, O Death, where is thy singing? Resolved, That Elizabeth Gaines, being the resident member of the Self Culture, we disguise the loss and mourn with the family for grief is a stone that bears one down but two bears it hides. Be it resolved, That we will miss her usefulness, her sweet words of cheer in our circle as well as in the home; that she has left with us a rich legacy in "Sowing the Seed" and has solved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, to The Iowa State Bystander and a copy be spread upon the minutes. Buy it now. Now is the time to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is almost certain to be needed before the summer is over. This remedy has no superior.

Omaha, New THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair. Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that, we are being limited and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs A. M. POPP. ing secretary.
