Into the state or missouri we next go during the month of September. To visit the state during this month one can behold this great state's vast resources. Missouri is a mighty empire within herself. Her resources and industries are so varied that she is self-supporting. She raises corn, oats, rye, rye, barley. She grows apples, peaches, pears and grapes in large quantity and she raises all the cereals. She mines her own coal, iron, lead, gypsum. She raises her horses, cattle and sheep. Her poultry raising is immense. In fact, situated as it is in the bed of the richest valley in the world, the Mississippi, she naturally excels all competitors. Yet the full development of her great gifts has not been reached as in her sister states of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. All Missouri needs is men of energy and will power, with a desire to invest their money to develop the latent resources of this state. The public education of this system is behind her sister states. Our first stop was a few minutes in Charloton, Iowa. Here lives about forty Afro-Americans. Mr. T. J. Martin is still here doing nicely. The Widow is still there doing nicely. Geo. Newman drives the delivery wagon. Rev. W. C. Carter is working wrench. Mrs. Jackson is doing well. Centerville has about 250 colored people, but they are not a reading or literary class, nor do they seem to be much interested about getting colored lit- erature. By hard work of four hours we secured as new subscribers Mrs. Lizzie D. Price, Mrs. Annie Oliver, Mrs. F. B. Morton, Mrs. J. W. Evans, Mrs. W. Cashman and Mrs. E. and we we have some time long that more people will read the Bystander, one of the leading race journals in America. Kirksville, Mo., was our first Missouri stop. Here we found the colored people just about the same as ever. Here we found two churches, the Baptist, pastored by Rev. W. W. McKinney, who has only been here a short time, and Rev. F. Taburn, who is also a new man here, but is a bright, able young man. Mr. and Mrs. L. Coursey are doing well. He is working at the same place. Prof. Vaughn, formerly a teacher in the public schools here for many years, has now retired on a small farm in the suburbs of the city, where he owns a farm, Mr. and Mrs. F. Barnes own a nice truck farm in the outskirts of the town. He is doing well. Mr. A. Pollard owns a nice home. Our next step was in Macon City. This is a pretty little town where more than 1,000 colored people reside. Many are doing well. Most of them are old citizens and own their own homes. The Western college is located here. It has a prosperous year ahead from the present opening this month. Prof. J. H. Garnett, that great educator, says the outlook was never better for a record breaking attendance this school year. Most of the old faculty will be back. Dr. Garnett's only daughter is a student at the Kansas university and will finish next year. This college under the auspices of the great Baptist association. There are two churches, a bikers and Methodist, each doing Mr. Thos. Adams is a successful man. There are three school teachers, Prof. Perkins and Misses Hattie Davis and Ida D. Jones. Here is a woman who speaks from Chase & West are show an unusually large line of Heaters and Ranges, for hard coal, soft coal and wood, at a wide range of prices.

WHAT OUR RACE THINKS ABOUT ROOSEVELT. Below we publish an excerpt from the Keokuk Gate City. The Colored Voter. To the Editor of the Gate City: The Editor of the Gate City: Permit the public to paper to call attention, as a negro and an American citizen to the article published in your paper of Thursday last, teeming with misstatement and misrepresentation, entitled "Roosevelt and the Colored Voters," signed by F. T. The deep interest and infinity sympathy which some of the leaders of the republican party evince for the black man just before election would be repugnant and disgusting were it not for the fact that it is so delightful. Mr. Hughes credits the black folks with having made "The most wonderful growth in citizenship and intellectual attainments." I will add that, that very fact qualifies my race for standing that Roosevelt in discharging the duties of the Brownsville disgrace, was actuated by motives of justice and honor, and the fact that it was not a slap at our race and color, is made self evident, when we remember that for every black man discharged, from that another, another black man took his place. The statement that Mr. Roosevelt would not permit a negro to sit in the national progressive convention, is so glaringly untrue, that were it not that Roosevelt would not brand it "A malicious falsehood." Mr Hughes knows and I know, and the world knows, that New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and "My Maryland," sent negro delegates to the convention and their were seated. We all know that in the sunny south there is a negro problem, and we know further that the republicans of the north during the dark days, of the reformation period perilous, impose a strict code of behavior, ignorant and fortunate people down the throat of the southern white people, until at last, those southern states rose up in all their might, and exercised their constitutional privileges in the national and property qualification for the exercise, of the ballot, that absolutely and completely disfranchised my people. Now, Mr. Hughes wants to know what the colored citizens of this city were and who dined Booker T. Washington, in the white house, who for two years defied the United States senate and insisted on the appointment of Mr. Crum (negro) as collector of Port Charleston. I will say, and I voice with all my folks, that we think him the bravest man, the truest gentleman and the most patriotic citizen that ever occupied the presidential chair. It is our earnest belief that if elected next November, Mr. Roosevelt with the nation's emblem of legislation, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense; promote the general welfare, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Thus, Mr. Hughes, is what the black folks think of Mr. Roosevelt. B. L. ANDERSON. SPECIAL TO BYSTANDER: Langaton, Ocala, 9-19-12. We, the students of the N.

HALL Successful Man and Women From All Parts of America and Some From Foreign Lands Tell Story of Their Struggle Upward—Rosenwald and Washington Lionized. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Chicago. - The thirteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, held for three days in this city recently, proved to be a school of thought and a beehive of thrift and industry. The sessions were attended by reputable business and professional men and women from all parts of America and some from foreign countries. The sessions were held day and evening at the famous Institutional church, Dearborn street, near Thirty-ninth, and the spacious double auditorium was packed by an eager throng every time the doors were opened to the public. A cordial welcome was extended at all times by the genial pastor, Rev. A. J. Carey, and his capable corps of officers. A committee of ladies served luncheon each day, and the ushers, in charge of Mr. Evans, did their duty in fine fashion. The opening address was delivered by Dr. George C. Hall, chairman of the local committee on arrangements, and a cordial welcome was extended by Counselor S. Lahigh Williams, assistant United States district attorney of Chicago. A felicitous response was made by Professor Harry T. Pratt of the Baltimore public schools, owner of the Baltimore Times. Program of International Scope. The program, prepared with unusual care by Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott, embraced every form of business and professional activity in which the Negroes of the country are engaged, and the speakers, without exception, represented the highest type of the men and women engaged in the commercial work of the nation. The printed program, which has had wide circulation in the race press, is familiar to all, and a study of its personnel and line of discussion will bear out the statement just made. The annual address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, drawn from the immortal Bard of Avon. "There's a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to fortune," emphasized the necessity for the Negro to take advantage of his manifold opportunities in the world he had left behind to a his share of the world's work, with a guarantee of reaping his proportionate share of the rewards that follow faithful service. As has been said in all previous years, this was the keynote of the entire session and embodies in a nutshell the purposes and policies of the National Negro Business league. It was "the speech of Dr. Washington's career" and established him as the man whose dress has been printed in pamphlet form and will be given a nation wide circulation. Rosenwald League's Special Guest. The league's special guest of the series was Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the renowned merchant prince and philanthropist, a member of the firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co., who has become famous the world over because of his open handed generosity of liberal gifts to the building funds of the colored Y. M. C. A. of the country. In his speech Mr. Rosenwald took an optimistic view of the future of the Negro people and found infinite satisfaction in the study of the progress of the colored people from slavery to intellectual and economic success, rising in forty-nine years from absolute poverty to the possession of millions of dollars in property and presenting a population of 100,000 of US persons. Mr. Rosenwald and write-a development that reads like a romance. Mr. Rosenwald's plain business talk brought down the house, and his lessons of life, pointing out that only through honest, straightforward methods and rigid habits of punctuality, loyalty to employer and fidelity to patrons, can a permanent business or other career be built up, was received with enthusiastic approval. "It pays to be honest," declared Mr. Rosenwald. "Give an honest dollar's worth of service for every dollar received, and your success is assured. Be of service to some one else. Give yourself for the good of mankind, and you will be happy. Determination, hard work, keeping everlastingly at it—these bring realization to what seems a dream. Victory will come to the Negro, as it comes to every other people, through the struggles well fought out, bringing triumph as the legitimate outward force of directed influence and sterling worth. "The Negro is growing stronger because he has learned the lesson that color counts for little if unertil is behind the man. The world little cares who does its work, but it wants that work done in the very best way." He lauded the work Dr. Washington is doing at Tuskegee institute and halted him as a true leader of a great people. Hundreds of miniature American Sick headache is caused by a disordered stomach.

What the wind ruthens the devil --- fings were wilted by the audience as Mr. Rosenwald was introduced to speak, and the demonstration was repeated at the close of his helpful address. Philadelphia Gets Meeting in 1913. Indorsing the action of the executive committee of the league, the next meeting of the organization will be held in Philadelphia in August of 1913, where will also be celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro. Already Pennsylvania has appropriated $20,000 to assist the race in making this observance a success, and the neighboring state of New Jersey is supplementing the fund with a similar amount. The report of the committee on resolution to the Smith of Texas, declaring for higher race ideals and a stronger effort to make an honorable place for the people in commerce and the industries, was unanimously adopted, as was also the report of the committees on auditing and credentials. The league was shown to be in a healthy condition, and many state leagues are assisting in the work. Dr. Washington Re-elected President For the thirteenth time Dr. Booker T. Washington has been chosen president of the National Negro Business league. On motion of Counselor J. Madison Vance of Louisiana, seconded by Dr. E. C. Morris of Arkansas, president of the National Baptist convention for eighteen years, with praise echoes by eloquent speakers from ten states, the rules were suspended and Dr. Washington was re-elected amid a wave of criticism of the week. It was a striking and significant recognition of his power as a leader and a testimonial that the entire race is at his back in the efforts he is making to uplift his people. The other officers elected are: First vice president, Charles Banks, Mississippi; second vice president, J. E. Bush, Arkansas; third vice president, Dr. S. G. Elbert, Delaware; fourth vice president, Harry T. Pratt, Maryland; fifth vice president, John M. Wright, Kansas; corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee institute, Albany, treasurer, Charles Gillen, North Carolina; Gilbertson, president, registrar, R. C. Houston, Texas; transportation agent, Dr. A. B. Jackson, Pennsylvania; official stenographer, H. W. Davis, Washington, and compiler, S. Laing Williams, Illinois. Members of the executive committee: J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; chairman: Dr. S. E. Courtney, Massachusetts; W. T. Andrews, South Carolina; Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, Indiana; J. B. Bell, Texas; M. L. Mewley, Florida; J. C. Jackson, Kentucky; T. J. McGraw, Louisiana; R. B. Hall, Pennsylvania; Schplo A. Jones, Arkansas; T. H. Haynes, Tennessee; Dr. G. C. Hall, Illinois; T. J. Ellott, Oklahoma, and W. C. Gordon, Missouri. Funeral Directors' Association. The National Association of Funeral Directors, an affiliated body of the National Negro Business league, held the most profitable session in the six years of its history. Officers were elected as follows: President, G. W. Franklin, Tennessee; vice president, J. B. Cooper, Kentucky, and Mrs. Sarah Johnson, Illinois; secretary, J. N. Shelton, Indiana; treasurer, Mrs. Daisy M. Saffell, Kentucky. Modern methods of handling funerals and improvement of equipment were discussed, and it was found that the Negro undertakers are doing the bulk of the work among the Negroes of the nation. Coming Events of National Interest. The year 1913 will be a busy one for the colored people of Pennsylvania. An effort is now being successfully carried in the interest of the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the enamendment of the slaves of Philadelphia. The fourteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business league will also be held in Philadelphia in August. These two national events, together with the local and state affairs of a public nature will engage the attention and best efforts of our people for the next twelve months. Growth of the National Association. The membership of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People is 755. The growth of the organization along all lines of its work has been steady and substantial. Its helpful influence is felt in all parts of the country, the most important being the existence of the association aside from the scores of individuals who have received direct personal assistance. The membership will continue to increase as the work and worth of the organization become known and appreciated. Race of Loyal and Heroic Americans. The contribution made by colored Americans in defense of the United States as soldiers in every war in which this country has been engaged and the heroism displayed as life saves as recognized by the Carnegie heroes of the Civil War, their capacity for unselfish, heroic service. Their response to educational opportunity and religious appeal is indicated by the steady increase in the quality of their home and church life and the growth of their fraternal societies. Encouraging Signs of Advancement. The ability of the colored people of the United States to compete with the people of other races under similar circumstances is clearly evidenced in the advance which they have made in education, business and the acquisition of personal and real property. This is as it should be. There is no reason for the existence of poverty or ignorance among any people if they are industrious and make good use of a fair opportunity to earn an honest living. More than Too Much Is Enough. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste supply energy and the storage of food. The acquisition of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let alone avoid an acidic control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver tablets and you will soon be all right again.

Mr. Jones is a Graduate of Iowa City —His Wife Was Grace M. Allen of Burlington. Mr and Mrs. L. C. Jones, of Braxton, Miss., are visiting in the city enjoying a brief vacation, and incidentally winning friends for their school in the Southland. Both are really northern people. Mr Jones is an Iowa man and a graduate of the Iowa State University. Mrs Jones is a Burlington girl, formerly Mrs Grace M. Allen. She at one timeconducted a successful school in this city. In 1909, Mr. Jones went to the Southland and at or rather near Braxton, he organized a school. The beginning was in the open air, under the trees, but he had the right ideas and he persevered, and by and by he won friends and now he is winning success. Last year, Prof. L. G. Weld, formerly of the Burlington high school, later of the Iowa State University and the head of the Great Pullman school, that is to be organized and opened in the near future, paid the Piny Woods Country Life School at Braxton a visit and spoke very high, of the work that is being done there and the work that is being planned there for the future. In the three short years Professor Jones has accomplished wonders. One of the first to come to his assistance was a colored man who had been a slave, and who had in later years worked at Keokuk as a barber and had done well there.

THE LEGEND OF THE MUSICIAN THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of the treatment, you can do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Mr Jones is an Iowa man and a graduate of the Iowa State University. Mrs Jones is a Burlington t girl, formerly Mrs Grace M. Allen, She at one timeconducted a successful school in this city. In 1909, Mr. Jones went to the Southland and at or rather near Braxton, he organized a school. The beginning was in the open air, under the trees, but he had the right ideas and he persevered, and by and by he won friends and now he is winning success. Last year, Prof. L. G. Weld, formerly of the Burlington high school, later of the Iowa State University and the head of the Great Pullman school, that is to be organized and opened in the near future, paid the Piny Woods Country Life School of Braxton a visit and spoke very highly, of the work that is being done there and the work that is being planned there for the future. In the three short years Professor Jones has accomplished wonders. One of the first to come to his assistance was a colored man who had been a slave, and who had in later years worked at Keokuk as a barber and had done well there. He gave the school forty acres of land and $60 in cash. An old colored woman, who had naught able to give brought two geese. From all sides offerings and aid came and last year the white people of Braxton gave a handsome building to be used as a girls' dormitory. Captain Asa Turner, of Iowa, a son of the famous Congregational pioneer, is one of the firm friends of the institution and the professor and his wife, are winning friends everywhere and promise in a few years to have an institution that will be a credit to Braxton and Mississippi and a source of untold benefit to the colored and the white people of that region.
