DALEY, CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILMAN The above cut is our well known citizen, John M. Dailey, who has announced his name as a candidate for councilman, subject to the city primaries. He stands for a cleaner city and a better protection to our boys and girls and believes in a dollar's worth for a dollar. He is a true and tried friend of the colored race and merits your support. BARRETT FOR SCHOOL TREASURER. Mr. W. E. Barrett, cashier for the Valley National bank for many years, and who still holds that position, has allowed his friends to present his name as a candidate for school treasurer for Des Moines, subject to the election March 9th. Mr. Barrett has spent most of his life here, 37 years, and by his long citizenship his financial interest in Des Moines and his good judgment makes him one of the most favorable men that Des Moines could find for such a place of having charge of the funds of our public and high schools. He has never held an elective office in his life and is regarded in the financial circles as being one of the most competent men in our city to handle the funds of our district. By his many years as cashier of the Valley National bank he has come in contact with hundreds of colored people and they will have an opportunity to express to him their approval on Monday, March 9th. He will appreciate the support that we may give him. JORDAN FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR. JORDAN FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR I am pleased to announce this week the name of W. N. Jordan, who is a candidate for one of the directors of our city schools, subject to the election to be held next Monday, March 9th. Mr. Jordan is one of our rising young lawyers and comes from one of the best and most highly respected families in our city. His father, W. H. Jordan, is well known by the colored people, as he was a Congregational minister and has preached at the Union Congregational church many times several years ago. Mr. Jordan is a thoroughly competent man and is very much interested in the development of our public schools and will be a valuable addition to the school board. I can say without fear of contradiction that he is one of the best friends of the colored race, having at all times defended them when the opportunity would come, and I feel that the colored people should give him one of their votes, as there are two directors to be elected at the coming election Monday. NOTICE To the workers of the Iowa-Nebraska Sunday School Convention: You have been kept in suspense for some time as to where we should meet. I hereby announce that we will meet with the Mt. Moriah Baptist Sunday school at Omaha, Neb, Thursday before the third Lord's day in June, 1914. Let us strive to make this the banner year of the convention. Three things essential—work, pray and give. Yours for the cause. F. B. Woodard, Pres. BEAUFORT. N. C. (Special to Bystander) Mr. H. G. Darden of Des Moines, Iowa, arrived in our city on February 5th to visit his mother and father and old friends whom he had not seen for many years. Mr. Darden is the youngest child of his parents and they with their friends were overjoyed to see him, so much so that they all flocked to his parents' home to welcome him and rejoice with the old folks. On his way home Mr. Darden visited at the following places: Davenport, Iowa, Galesburg, Ill., Columbus, Ohio, Norfolk, Va., Washington and Aurora, N.C. As all interested readers of The Bystander, Mr. Darden has solicited several new subscribers in his home town, and we are sure if others were interested as is Brother Darden our paper would be a thriving one. We of the great northwest are always glad to hear from the southland. Chamberlain's Tablets for Constipation For constipation, Chamberlain's Tablets are excellent.

Miss Ordray Morgan is attending school. Mrs. Perkins is much improved in health and is at home, having been confined at Mercy hospital for some time. M. GEO. E. FERGUSON FOR COUN- CILMAN. We present to our readers a true likeness of Mr. Geo. E. Ferguson, who has announced his candidacy for the office of councilman, subject to the primaries March 16th. Mr. Ferguson is one of the successful business men of our city, being engaged in the printing business. He has a thorough knowledge of business affairs. He is an Iowa by birth and has lived in our city for many years. He was born in Marshalltown, Iowa, and is a man of liberal ideas, and by such experience will no doubt be a profitable addition to our city council should he be chosen. He is a man who believes in an honest and square deal to all and an upright business administration and his friends are asking his support upon that ground. He is a man that treats the colored race with equal justice and solicits their support. CLINTON, IOWA. A concert will be given Friday evening at Bethel A. M. E. church, under the auspices of some of our girls. The proceeds will be devoted to assisting the committee which has the church improvements in charge. A pleasant time is expected. Last week we received some items for publication. Unfortunately they were without a signature as to the author. We are always glad to have items of interest contributed, but they must be signed to be given consideration. Rev. P. P. Taylor of Chicago, an old time citizen, spent the week end in Clinton last week on business and calling on friends. The revival at the Second Baptist church closed, after a successful season. Fourteen added to the church. The rites of baptism were given to twelve at the First Baptist church on Sunday, February 22nd, by Rev. Sanders, at the conclusion of which the Rev. G. D. Rogers, pastor of the church, gave a beautiful address. Space will not allow the comment which is justly due the encouraging words and sentiments in his masterly effort, which was highly appreciated by Rev. Sanders and his members. Mrs. Greenlee is still on the sick list and Grandma Parm remains quite feeble. The name of Miss Mae Culberson was inadvertently omitted from the list of newly elected officers of Bethel Sunday school, she having been elected assistant organist. scriber to The Bystander. Who will be the next? Telephone, write or we will call on you. J. L. Thompson was in Clinton last week on his annual visit to the Masonic body. Unfortunately they were still unable to occupy their quarters recently leased, so the grand master had to be content with meeting the members at the home of M. O. Culberson, where the interests of the order were discussed. While in the city he was the guest of M. O. Culberson. S. C. Smith of Waterloo, who has been ill for some time, is at the home of his sister in Clinton, Mrs. W. A. Richardson, where he is slowly improving under her care and also his mother, Mrs. Leah Hopkins. M. O. Culberson was a visitor last week in Davenport at the meeting of the Masonic lodge during the visit of the grand master. He reports a good time. Little Vincent, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Culberson, had the misfortune to suffer an injury to one of his arms while at play at his home. We hope nothing serious will result. At present he is doing nicely. Rev. I. N. Daniels, P. E., held his second quarterle meeting at Bethel A. M. E. church on last Sunday. A fair congregation was present at both the morning and evening services, the P. E. preaching at both services. At the Second Baptist church the sermon was delivered at 11 o'clock by the pastor, which was enjoyed by all, followed by an interesting Sunday school session at 6:30. A goodly number of young people met for Bible reading at 7:30 p. m. KEYTESVILLE NOTES A great revival at the Second Baptist church and the church is spiritually alive. Rev. W. M. McKamey has just closed a great meeting with eighteen additions. Although Sunday was a very bad day our pastor preached two soul-stirring sermons to good crowds and we felt the holy spirit in our midst. Surely the Lord is in this place. Rev. M. L. Hopson of Admore, Mo., and Rev. J. A. McKamey of Mexico, Mo., assisted us in the meeting. Rev. J. A. McKamey left for his home at Mexico, Mo., Saturday. He preached many soul-stirring sermons while in our midst. Our Sunday school is taking on new life and is being largely attended. Miss Corinne Norter is yet very ill. Mr. Russell Miller is some better at this writing. Mrs. Mary E. Hurt was called to St. Joseph Mo., by the illness of her father. We hope for him a speedy recovery. KEOKUK. IOWA. (Special to Bystander ) Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman of Hannibal, Mo., spoke to a very appreciative audience at Bethel A. M. E. church Wednesday, February 17th, under the auspices of the "Intellectual Improvement club." Mrs. Tillman's lecture, "The Ideal Negro Woman," proved to be very interesting and instructive and carries out the ideas of the National Association of Negro Women, of which Mrs. Tillman is a very popular member, being chairman of a very important committee. An interesting feature of the audience was the fact that many of the ladies present were members of the primary class taught by Mrs. Tillman when Rev. G. M. Tillman pastored at Keokuk fifteen years ago. Also some of these ladies have now started primary classes of their own. While in the city Rev. and Mrs. Tillman were the honored house guests of Mr. J. W. Bland and daughters, Misses Irelia and Myrtle. On Wednesday they were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Prof. W. H. Jones. Thursday Mrs. Tillman was tended a reception by the Reading club at the home of Mrs. W. W. Gross. This club is composed of high school alumni. On Friday Mr. and Mrs. Tillman were entertained at dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fielding S. Johnson.

Rara Washington Portrait. A rare and curious mezzotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George Ull. as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mezzotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson son sale of Washington portraits. Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote at the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent. of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."-National Magazine. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS & C.

We desire to call the attention of our readers to Mr. Barrett's candidacy for school treasurer and urge upon them the necessity of going to the polls and casting their vote for him.

College Course in Politics To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the affairs of that city, and the invitation has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments ends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haltlane a Lazy Lot Sydney Brooks, writing to the Lou Jon Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly says of Haiti: "In that little republic covering about 10,000 square miles within five days' call of New York, one may encounter more strange complic ations and a greater disregard for his man life than in the remote countr es of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where civilization exists in a high degree Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago Her rich lands were already under cui culation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and for sats have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not conferred criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down where he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant New York City alone consumes an annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. "Milk," says Emerson, "is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by satiation. This feature was quickly discovered," being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back. It was agitated by the motion of the huster this fermentation was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would get as a leaven THE WEEKLY COUNTRY The Youth's Companion Give it to whom you will, you will find all the family looking for it.

Crders Removal of Objectionable Sign From Newark (O). Playhouse. Newark, O.—A committee representing the local Afro-American Citizens' Rights league called on Mayor Biggie of this town recently and requested that a sign in the main entrance of the Orpheum theater reading, "For Caucasians Only," be removed. The mayor suggested that the members of the committee visit the theater, attempt to purchase tickets, and if unsuccessful, to return to his office and he would do the rest. The suggestion was carried out. the tickets were refused and the committee returned to the mayor's office, who immediately telephoned the chief of police to have an officer bring the manager of the theater to his office, which was done. After reading Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio civil rights law to the manager of the playhouse and warning him that any violation of the same on his part would bring him un- PETER H. HARRY C. SMITH. der its penalty he was ordered to remove the sign at once, which he lost no time in doing'. The manager of the theater was also ordered to use no discrimination against colored people in seating and charging patrons. The next evening Frank B. Norman received and used his tickets to attend the evening performance. The Ohio civil rights bill was drawn by Harry C. Smith, who was a member of the state legislature for three terms. Mr. Smith is the editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette and one of the best known men of our race in the middle west. The committee was composed of George B. Norman, A. H. Brown, William Burt, Clyde A. Riggs, James Berry, Harley Fack, William Cunningham, Baker Cunningham, George C. Weaver and C. D. Guy. BROOKLYN'S OLD LANDMARK RECEIVES GENEROUS AID Managers of Home For Aged Colored People Hear Encouraging Reports. At the February meeting of the board of managers of the Home For Aged Colored People in Brooklyn very encouraging reports were made on the efforts of the public to assist in the maintenance of the institution. The various churches and women's clubs render substantial aid to the work of the home from time to time. The institution is one of Brooklyn's old landmarks. At Christmas and other national holidays the home is the objective point of a great many visitors. Among the business transacted at the meeting was a change in the constitution creating the office of assistant treasurer in order to lessen the work of Mrs. William B. Lane, who has for several years served as treasurer and whose recent illness has revealed the fact that she was doing more than ought rightfully be expected of her. Mrs. Charles J. Search has consented to act as assistant treasurer until the annual election in April. A generous gift of a hundred garments was reported from the Flatbush Needlework guild and one of fifty garments from the Brooklyn Needlework guild. The work committee reported the sale of several of the dish towels and rugs made by the old people and asked for colored cotton rugs to be used as material for the rugs. The appeal to the colored people of the city was reported as showing results, and good ones, but still greater efforts are needed to increase the receipts. The Lend a hand club has been organized in the Fleet Street A. M. E. church for the special purpose of raising money for the home, and the Sons of North Carolina have volunteered to give an entertainment for the cause. This work is being pushed vigorously by Mrs. A. Wiley, secretary, and Mrs. Frank Gilbert, who are the committee in charge of it. The members of the board were especially pleased to hear from Mrs. George H. Stone, chairman of the visiting committee, that an atmosphere of happiness and content prevailed among the old people, helped very largely by the wise administration of the superintendent, Mrs. Frances R. Underhill. New Weekly Paper In Columbus, O. Floyd G. Snelson has begun the publication of the Columbus Independent in Columbus, O.
