He is also a graduate of Washington college, Topeka, Kans. He is that type of young man of which the race can justly feel proud, having all the attributes that are essential for a well rounded character, developed to the highest; he stands out pre-eminent among the many other young men who have come to Ft.

African Grand Lodge in Boston, now Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Mason of Massachusetts, June 24, 1791 Died December 7th, 1807. TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF MAISONRY. Bi-Centennial Address by Attorney S Joe Brown, Grand Master of Iowa, A. F. & A. M., at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, Des Moines, June 24, 1917. Brother master of ceremonies, most worshipful past grand masters, worshipful master, wardens and brethren of North Star lodge, No. 2, and Doric lodge, No. 30, A. F. & A. M., worthy grand officers, worthy matrons and members of Princess Oziel chapter, No. 9, and Princess Zorah chapter, No. 10, Order of the Eastern Star. Ladies and Gentlemen: Two hundred years ago today there met in the city of London, England, representatives of the only four lodges then in existence in southern England, and organized what afterwards, became known as the most worshipful grand lodge of England, from which has descended by some process, either direct or indirect, every regular Masonic lodge now in operation throughout the civilized world, whether composed of white, black, yellow, brown or red men. And while it is true that there is no other fraternal organization now extant that can trace its origin back two hundred years, yet I would not have you understand that this was the beginning of Freemasonry, for all of you who have been initiated, and many of you who have not are aware of the fact that Masonic tradition traces the origin of our institution back to the date of the building of King Solomon's temple at Jerusalem, the first house erected for the worship of the true God, a thousand years before Christ. We also have authentic records of groups of men who in the first century after Christ came together at stated intervals to receive instruction in the fundamental principles of our fraternity. As early as the year 926 representatives of these organizations from all over England came together at York, England, in what is commonly referred to as the Grand Lodge of York, and which continued to meet at stated times between that date and the year 1717, about which time it ceased to operate, and our mother grand lodge, the most worshipful grand lodge of England, became its successor. Soon after its organization, about the year 1733, the grand lodge of England established the first lodge among white men in America, known as St. John's lodge, at Boston, Mass., with Henry Prince as grand master; but on account of the American racial discrimination no black men were admitted to membership in this lodge. But in the year 1775, during the siege of Boston by the British army under General Gates, a military lodge of Englishmen, who knew no race distinctions, operating under authority from the grand lodge of England, initiated, passed and raised to the sublime rank of a Master Mason fifteen Negroes, viz: Prince Hall, Boston Smith, Thos. Sanderson, Cyrus Joubus, Buesten Slinger, Prince Dana, Cato Speain, Peter Best, Frotin Howard, Prince Rees, John Canten, Peter Freeman, Benjamin Tiber, Duff Buform and Richard Tilley, and granted to them a dispensation under which they operated until the year 1784, when they received a charter direct from the mother grand lodge naming Prince Hall as the first Negro worshipful master, Boston Smith as the first Negro senior warden and Thos. Sanderson as the first Negro junior warden, authorizing them to operate a lodge in the city of Boston, Mass., to be known as African lodge, No. 459. This charter, though now 133 years old, is still in existence. Shortly after the chartering of African lodge, No. 459, the grand lodge of England, finding that that the white brethren in America were not propagating the mystic art among black men, commissioned Prince Hall as provincial grand master, with authority to found other lodges among his people; and under this commission he established other lodges, representatives of which he assembled at Boston on June 24, 1791, and founded what he then called the grand lodge of Massachusetts, now known as the Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts. From the grand lodge of Massachusetts Negro lodges were established in Philadelphia and other cities in Pennsylvania, representatives of which met in Philadelphia on December 27, 1815, and organized the grand lodge of Pennsylvania. From the grand lodge of Pennsylvania Negro lodges were established in Ohio, representatives of which met in May, 1849, and organized the grand lodge of Ohio. From the grand lodge of Ohio, Negro lodges were established in Missouri, representatives of which met at St. Louis in June, 1866, and organized the grand lodge of Missouri, which in turn established and held jurisdiction of all the Negro lodges in Iowa, including North Star lodge, which is assembled here today.

Yours in the work of the Lord, T Separate the Figures When You Call a Telephone Number Separate the Figures When You Call a Telephone Number Always give a telephone number to the operator slowly and distinctly. Separate the figures of a telephone number when calling, as "one, oh, seven," for 107, with a slight pause between each figure. Don't transpose the figures in a number. For example, don't ask for 389 when you want 398. Many people do this unconsciously. Always look in the directory first. Don't mumble your telephone conversation through a cigar or address the wall. Talk directly into the telephone with your lips not more than an inch away. Don't tip the telephone over when you talk; hold it in a vertical position. Tel. Cedar 8545 138 E. 3rd St. ST. PAUL. MINN.

The recent disgraceful race riot that reoccurred in East St. Louis, Ill., this week was indeed one of the most appalling and intolerable murders, butcherings and destruction of human lives that was ever perpetrated upon the colored race in this country, for no other reasonable excuse except that colored laborers were taking the place that former white union laborers had struck from and for which colored people were willing to work at a price that was acceptable to the employers. Such was their excuse for such wholesale killing. To our minds there is no justifiable excuse for such murder and certainly some of the officers are liable for the neglect of their duty, for the state guards allowed the mob to disarm many of them, and it does seem that some of the officers should be held responsible for such conduct. It is indeed lamentable and shocking to have such terrible crimes committed in our country on one of the best classes of citizens without any reasonable excuse and especially coming at the time when our nation is plunging into the great world's war and asking for unity and co-operation of all our citizens, it is indeed unfortunate, yet beyond and above racial discrimination, murder and riots, the masses of the better class of the white race do not approve of the recent actions of the riots in East St. Louis and they are bitterly opposed to this action. We believe that it is very essential and high time that our state and national governments should take a hand in stopping such lawlessness, whether in this country or foreign countries, for if such cowardly riots and murdering continues long our country will be in a state of anarchy. We urge our race men all over the country to stand firm and demand punishment for the recent riots and absolute justice for all men, and some day our just God will in some way bring about a favorable approbation of our demands, for truly this country can never be the home of the brave and the land of the free until every citizen, whether white or black, enjoys the privilege of unalienable rights that the declaration of independence grants them, which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. The Fourth of July, which occurred this week, is the national birthday of the U. S. and the people of these states look forward to this event as the climax in our civilization and the beginning of the freedom of the common people. The spirit of '76 was that we might live in the country where we can be free and worship God according to the dictates of our conscience. Our forefathers fought with this idea in view, and when victory was won and peace established the cardinal principles of the Declaration of Independence was that "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, deriving their just power from the consent of the government. It was upon this great stand that our republic was based and from that time until now the American people have been struggling for those rights and as yet some of the American people are not enjoying all of the above enumerated rights. And this week while we celebrate this glorious event we should renew our firm determination as descendants of our forefathers to work for the complete enjoyment of all the American people of all of these rights. Many of these rights have been violated upon the high seas and in foreign countries and are now being violated in our own and until freedom of all the American citizens, and when we secure peace in this great world, it should be universal peace, a universal brotherhood and Fatherhood of God. OUR GREAT TRAINING CAMP Two weeks have elapsed since the opening of the first and most unique training camp for colored officers in the United States at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa. The 1,250 men who have been under a severe and rigid discipline for the past two weeks have made wonderful progress and Ye Editor can say that these men, who are under the command of seasoned and experienced officers, can be made the best officers in a very short time. The work of this great camp has gone on rapidly and they are becoming a great powerful working machine, with fourteen companies and three battalions, and the spirit of this camp is ideal to all who are here in training, and among them are some of the best and most highly educated men in America and they fully realize that upon their shoulders greatly depends the future of the Negro race in this country and upon their efficiency and skill and training will be our future destiny. Thus far they have even exceeded everybody's expectations and the waiting world will sooner or later give them their applause and its approbation. OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP NOTES The Y. M. C. A. work among the officers' camp is proving to the greatest and best place at the camp to draw men together. Here you can meet one another, rest, write letters and enjoy the amusements in the big tent. Sergt. E. P. Frierson is one of the unique men of the regulars here in training camp as one of the instructors. He is worshipful master of the Masonic military lodge, known as Malto Military lodge, No. 138, located with the famous Tenth U. S. cavalry, under the jurisdiction of Missouri. Sergt. Hilt of the Twenty-fourth infantry is now the chief platoon sergeant of Company 3. He holds a fine record. The Bystander will be on sale at the Y. M. C. A. each week and any news that any of the men may have, leave the same with the secretary. Old Arkansas is well represented at the camp with some young men of strong character. Mr. E. A. Morris of Helena is the son of Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention. Prof. J. J. Gleeden is a fine man of Maraina. He is the son of a wealthy farmer. Coxie Ross is a fine fellow from Arkadelphia. W. W. Bankhead and M. R. Perry are representative men of Jefferson county, also J. E. Wiley, L. R. Miller and M. J. Proffitt are all excellent men of high character and able representatives. IOWA COLORED INVENTOR Colored Man of Marshalltown, Iowa, Invents Automatic Box CVar Lock. Isaac L. Brown, colored, of this city, has just received from the government patent office a patent on an automatic air lock for railway box cars. The lock is arranged so that if any one tampers with it it sounds an air whistle alarm, and sets the air on a train. Mr. Brown thinks his invention wholly practicable, and especially on steel constructed cars, so many of which are now in use. He hopes to interest several railroads in the invention. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA. (Special to Bystander.) The Editor—Dear Sir: I send you the following, relative to lynchings for the first six months of the year. I find according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, head of the division of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute, that in this period there have been fourteen lynchings. This is eleven less than the number, twenty-five, for the first six months of 1916 and twenty less than the number, thirty-four, for the first six months the bravery of officers of the law and of 1915. In ten instances, through by other means, mobs were thwarted and lynchings prevented. Of those lynched, thirteen were Negroes and one was white. Four of those put to death, one white and three Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. One of those put to death was a Negro woman, reported to have been of unsound mind, who in resisting arrest wounded an officer of the law. I gather from reading Negro newspapers and from other sources that in spite of the notable decrease in the number of victims of mob violence for the six months, the horrors connected with the recent burning at the stake near Memphis has increased among Negroes the fear of lynchings and accelerated their migration to the north. Yours very truly, Robert R. Moton, Principal. PROGRAM OF THE WESTERN BAPTIST CONVENTION Held With the Maple Street Baptist Church, Des Moines, Iowa, July 10th to 15th, 1917.

PRINCES SHALL COME OUT OF Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Just a few words to my Ethiopian friends. In beginning I am a saint, sanctified on February 5, 1914. God anointed me, gave me 21st chapter of St. Luke and wisdom to write it into a song; also gave me the tune, which was the tune, "Praise His Name." He told me to go into the world and preach the gospel to the Ethiopians; tell them to write and to have a unity and charity bank. To name the bank, The Lord Our Righteousness, and instead of presidents, ice, etc., to have officers named king and queen. However, since that time I have endeavored to make this message known, and reach my race, so on my arrival to your city this message still hangs heavy on my mind, as God's will must be done, beloved, I am trying to get the race to see God's words. Speak to the Ethiopians; tell them to unite. Does this seem to compare with the 68th Psalm, 31st verse. Several months ago, after battling with this work alone, I found it almost impossible to go further, but one evening while asleep God came to me in this manner: On a very high hill stood a man, who represented the U. S. as he stood at the top of this high hill, one foot on land, the other was about to let down in this deep precipice and at the very rock bottom of this hill were our mothers, wives, children, penniless, some sick, some lame, little infants crawling about the floor. The foot on land had the word "War"; the foot as he made the step the word "Death" was written, and as this appeared a voice said, "And who will help to take care of these." Beloved God has anointed me today. I am endeavoring to keep the faith for His name's sake. At our 25th infantry printing press is a book, "Unity and Charity," to be sold at $3.00 a book for the benefit of this work. One-third of the $3.00 will be for the Lord Our Righteousness. Why I say one-third, the other is to be spent for the printing of the book. Five hundred books will be given away to establish this work. Some of the men at Ft. Des Moines are in that number and others away are now waiting anxiously to read one of these books, which I expect them to receive about a month from now, as the book is for print in Schofield Bks., Hono., H. T., among the 25th men. I delight to have sinners to be interested in printing God's message, for his glory and uplift of his kingdom. This book will be sent to anyone on receipt of $3.00 and your name entered on the record book. I have found thorns and briers among the "Unity and Charity" path, but the 21st chapter of St. Luke has in the beginning told it all to me. My husband at Ft. Des Moines is training for this war, Joseph S. Lowe, first sergeant Company L, 25th infantry. One in Christ Jesus. Address mail or call 7503 Lyon street, East Side. Would be delighted to meet pastors and friends. Mrs. Joseph S. Lowe. Few medicines have met with more favor or accomplished more good than Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. John F.

Many of the tribes, such as the Crows and the Apaches, early made use of the river bottoms for the cultivation of their staple crop—corn. When the condition of dryness came they would construct a rough temporary dam of log, with which they could divert the course of part of the stream into their lands. There were primitive ditches which distributed the water.

WHITE=VICTOR COPPER is in the Heart of one of the Greatest Producing Copper Mining Sections in Arizona Room 12 Kirkwood Hotel Bldg., Des Moines, - Iowa. HINTS. A. J. Booker, M. D. The world is fighting for democracy and yet few people seem to remember that there are problems of government which democracy has not solved; there are occurrences in every land where the measure of freedom is full for the average citizen, which makes the autocrats hold their sides with laughter and say, "We know that they cannot do it." Independence day was tinged with a sadness and despair by nearly every Negro in the land, because there were few people who were able to separate practices and principles, persecutions from personalities, and accidents from essentials. A. B. tions of this government are the sublimest that were ever given to the world. The recital of "self-evident" truths, such as the equality of man; the inherent right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; the doctrine of the consent of the governed, as a basis of government startles the intellectual and practical world. Prior to this time such sentiments had belonged entirely to dreamers and those thought to be of unsound mind. But these lofty principles and ideals every American citizen holds to be the end toward which we are striving; the pity of the whole situation is that very few Americans feel constrained to be guided by the plan which was instituted by those who hope to see this truly a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Everyone must concede that it is the ideal and essentials and the spirit rather than the practical and the accidental and the non-essential by which we must be guided and in which we have our greatest hope for all good things and the guarantee of the finer things which go to make up our ordinary lives. While it may be perfectly natural and selfish for a set of people to be sorely grieved, when members of their sect are pillaged and imposed upon, we must not lose sight of the fact that the most terrible thing is that these outrages have occurred and do occur where there is no element SHE HAD THE COURAGE OF HER CONVICTIONS HAVE YOU THE SAME? Miss Ann Glenn McAndrew, a sister of Mr. J. P. McAndrew of the McAndrew Printing Co., 613 Grand avenue, Des Moines, was employed about three years ago by a merchant in Colorado Springs by the name of Robbins, as a bookkeeper. One day a stock salesman called on Mr. Robbins and tried to induce him to buy $10,000.00 worth of United Verde Extension Mining Stock. He very courteously refused the man and, laughingly, said he would take a little flyer, and bought $150.00 worth. Miss McAndrew heard the salesman tell of the wonderful possibilities of the Copper Mining industry, and became very much interested in his account of fortunes made and being made in mining; and said she "had $250.00 lying in the bank and she believed she would invest it in the mining stock," which she did. Her modest little $250.00 mining stock investment has since made her about $20,000.00. The same amount in a savings bank at 4 per cent would have earned her only $30.00, and loaned out at 8 per cent only $60.00. Does mining investments pay? The above statement can be verified by writing to the Exchange National Bank of Colorado Springs, Colo. Three years ago, United Verde Extension Copper Mine was a prospect, seeking capital to develop its vast resources and sold at 50 cents a share. Today, White Victor Copper Mine is in the same condition, seeking capital to develop its natural copper resources, and selling at 50c a share. Today, United Verde Extension is selling at $39.00 a share. Moral: Buy White Victor Copper stock today. Send for particulars to of race friction to accentuate the circumstances; for unless we are as deeply grieved when a poor white man or any other inoffensive citizen is deprived of his civil rights by trial and due recourse, our indignation and protest savor too much of selfishness and special privilege. For until all men are guaranteed the rights under the constitution and its amendments, no man is safe; it is not a question of whether "me and mine," but of everybody's safety and protection. The This is no time for disloyalty either in spirit or in actions, but rather we shall continue with the lofty spirit of onward we go with shoulder to shoulder with the supremeest courage of disaster. A thing like this demands infinite patience, tried leadership, stiff backbone, measured words and clear thinking. We desire no jelly-fish nor apologists and before discussing such questions where labor or race is concerned, a man ought to have clear and correct notions. We must stand by fearless officials and insist upon the retirement of men who place policy before principle; for a high ideal must precede every noble accomplishment. question of mob violence is one of democracy's greatest problems; it is not a question of whether one or two thousand men were killed in East St. Louis, it is not a question of whether a state of war existed in Colorado for two days or two years, but it is a question of the principles of the safety of citizens being at stake. The question of violence to meet superior numbers is foolhardy and against the very principles which all of us should advocate. While it is true that leaders must safeguard followers, this can be done only by clear vision, cool heads and adherence to right and insistence upon justice. It is only by justice and love that right can be made to prevail; and social rights must be as jealously guarded as civil rights, if the ideals of this country are to be realized and the world kept safe for democracy. The bitter pill must be swallowed by individuals and races, while no man should nor can claim to like the nauseous practice, but he can at least use right methods to demand proper ends.
