EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS From Davenport we crossed the Father of Waters into Rock Island. This is a nice little city of about 30,000 and one of the largest cities along the river. The government island, where our large arsenal is located, is here and they are working night and day preparing munitions and other materials of war. They employ thousands of laborers and are still in need of others. Rock Island seems to be quite busy because of the fact that it is a wet town and its neighboring towns are dry. To one who has lived in a dry state and drops in at Rock Island, he will see the relics of bygone days in Iowa. There are about 800 colored people living here and some of them are doing well. Many are employed in the factories, arsenal and iron works. Mrs. Golden is still operating the hairdressing parlor. She has moved and is now located in nicer location. She was formerly Miss Morrison of South Rock Island. Mr. and Mrs. Windson are still living here in their beautiful home on Fifth street. Their only son is a student in the Iowa State university. Mr. J. H. Slaughter is one of the pioneer citizens here. Several years ago he lost his wife and just recently has taken unto himself another. They own a nice home. Messrs. Fred and James Hoskins are living here, working at the same place. G. W. Williams is still operating the pool hall and barber shop at 2115 Third street and has a large trade. He is a genial man to meet. Mr. J. E. King is still at the Harms hotel. Rev. J. Z. Saunders is the pastor of the McKinley Baytist church and they are doing very well. The A. M. E. church is pasted by Rev. A. Boyd and through his honest and judicious management this church has been able to pay off their long standing debts and do a great deal of remodeling and painted the exterior of their church. Mr. Geo. Parsons is at the same place. Rev. R. B. Penn is still living here and is working for the railroad company. Mr. Abe Dawson is still the city scavenger man and is making good in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, living in South Rock Island, are doing well. Dr. A. H. Stith, dentist, who formerly practiced here, left the city and has returned to Chicago. Dr. C. S. Davis, physician, is still having a large practice and is the only colored physician here. He has been somewhat ill himself, but better at this time. Mrs. S. J. Dangerfield, one of the old pioneers and highly respected citizens, and who has lived on Third street for many years, has sold her property and has moved to 2526 Sixth avenue. Miss Bertia Edmonds has been appointed the new abent for Rock Island, and it is the hope that this interesting city will have news regularly from now on. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moore still live on Thirty-ninth street. They own valuable property and are doing well. Mr. Peter Thompson and G. H. Marshall are successful citizens here. Mr. Marshall owns the only colored saloon here. Mr. W. Jones has recently bought a restaurant and is open to the public on Third street. He is doing well. See his advertisement elsewhere in the Bystander. Our next stop was in Moline, Ill. Here we find a quiet little city of about 1,500 population, of which fully 800 are colored people. Most all of them are working at the factories and iron works. Moline is noted for its large manufacturing establishments, having some of the largest implement and wagon factories in the United States. Mr. S. B. Walkup is one of the leading citizens here and is still working at the school house. He is quite active in church and Masonic work. Rev. Joseph Whitfield has charbe of the Baptist church and is doing well. He is a young man with a bright future. Mrs. M. M. B. Bishop and Mrs. Hattie Shelton are also still here. Mr. H. W. Harden, who has for many years been stenographer at the arsenal, has resigned his position and is with another firm. Rev. T. W. Lewis, well known in Iowa, has charge of the A. M. E. church. He is doing nicely and likes his work very much. Mrs. Mabel G. Tarver will be The Bystander news agent in this city. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1917. NEW BOOK JUST OUT The long looked for book on "The History and Views of Colored Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines for 1917" This very interesting and readable book contains the pictures of some of the most remarkable group of young Colored men ever assembled to gather in America. The only Colored Officers training Camp in the world. It contains the autobiographies of nearly 1000 cadets candidates and soldiers candidates. It has about 125 pages Price by mail post prepaid in U. S. $2.00 --- East Moline, which is practically a part of Moline. There are a large number of colored people flocking here from the south, also at Watertown, a mile from East Moline. It is said that fully 500 families have moved here within the last six months. They are working in the large factories and iron works. We hope they will adjust themselves to the social fabric of the north and that the laboring element will cause no friction in the large plants where they are taking the place of the white laborers. There has been some little uneasiness upon the part of a few people that unpleasantness might be started. Thus far, however, they are getting along nicely. Mrs. Lewis owns her beautiful home and is still running a boarding house. They have organized a new church in Watertown and the colored people are uniting themselves socially and religiously. Our next stop was in Muscatine, Iowa. This town is known as the great watermelon center of Iowa and those who have tasted this cefiulous fruit know it to be the best grown in Iowa. Here we have 300 colored people. Most of them own their own property and are doing well. The Greenway brothers and father still run their torsional parlor and own valuable business property. They are one of the oldest families in this state. Mr. A. C. Manley owns his farm, as also does Mr. I. P. Johnson. Mr. Robt. Johnson and Mr. H. Robinson are still here. W. L. Seay lies at the same place. Mr. L. Thompson still lives on her valuable property at 203 West Third street. Mrs. Fanny A. Grooms is still matron at the court house and is one of the strong ladies in this city and well thought of. THE COLORED BOYS OF TH- U. S. A. Written especially for The Bystander. They came from near, from far away. The colored boys of the U. S. A. From every way and walk of life. Lef tsister, mother, sweetheart, wife, To learn to fight, if need be die. While bullets, shells and shrapnel fly; Or anything to make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. The good old sergeants did their best, They put them through an awful test; The fixed and moving pivot right, To learn to do, made sleepless night. The captain said 'twas not their fault Because they couldn't in place halt. All this was done to make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. They learned to drill, they learned to shoot They started at the very root; For some these things had never done, And to observe was really fun. They tried as hard as one could try, To do their best, "To do or die," Or anything to make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. From Monday morn to Friday night, "Twas "fall in," "marcn," squads left and right. On Saturday morn with much objection, Most always came a close inspection, If everything was not sublime, Inspection came the second time; All this was done to make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. "Continuous as the stars that shine," "They stretched in never ending line." On lengthy "hikes," with guns and packs, Just sixty pounds upon their backs; Walked vfty minutes, ten to rest, In everything they did their best. For all of this would make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. From target range, all drenching wet, They marched and, sure they'll ne'er forget; In field maneuvers, loss and gains, That in the army, "It never rains"; In digging trenches, deep and hot, One thing sure they ne'er forgot; That all of this would make them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. They shammed the battles, used their skill. They learned to murder, fight and kill; In order that democracy, As opposite autocracy, Might overcome, and always be, And reign supreme eternally: They did this and it made them fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. For o'er this wide world as you roam, You'll find the cause and then you'll know, That there are fellows who can show, If not in one wall; they are fit, In many more, to do their bit. The camp is coming near a close, Commission's number no one knows; Some have bought leggins, some have suits, Even some have officer's boots; And others still have bought the bars, Ambition stops no less the stars; Takes all of this to make them fit; The colored boys, to do their bit. The question now that's being discussed, And, too, has caused so much disgust, Is where on earth and what to do. With those we know are "faithful few." From north, from south, from east and west, "Don't send them here," comes the re- quest; But they have all been made good, fit, The colored boys, to do their bit. Conditions at a time like this Permit no time to scorn and hiss, While talk of segregation takes Most prominence the kaiser makes; Progress on land, in sea, in air; But still the nation seems to care, Not for the boys who are so fit, To do their bit, the colored boys. When Prussianism, kaiser reigns, No time for quibbling can remain; While women suffer, nations bleed, Men die in innocence, no heed Can still be given by powers that be, To those who care not to be free; State Capitol Blug Historical Room From prejudice against those who are fit, The colored boys, to do their bit.

About forty of the cadets and regular soldiers attended in a body. The Ames people arranged a special interurban car that carried us there, arriving there in the afternoon. Twelve automobiles were in waiting to carry their guests over the city and beautiful college campus grounds of 1,000 acres. I was indeed a great treat to all present. Capt. Austain had charge of the officers training camp. At 7:30 we were ushered into the spacious banquet hall, where many of the great and noted functions of many years has been held.

Pugh, of this city, will be a candidate for secretary of state before the next republican primary. He is one man whom our people should support. He is fair, honest, competent and has always been so helpful to the members of our race that he has the right to expect them to give him loyal support. He was our friend when he was not a candidate, for he is the same every day, and if elected he will be the same after election as before. These are the kind of state that our people throughout the state ought to help put in office and they ought to make it a point to see that C. C. Pugh gets their vote at primary time.

Kelly is going to make this city her home for a while. Mrs. Perkins' sister, Gertrude, of Cedar Rapids has come to live with her and go to school here. The children were very glad to know that Tuesday morning the school doors were thrown open to them and they were glad to get back to their studies again. Mr. Albert Moore and Mr. Louis Winsor will soon depart from here to take up their studies at college. Albert Moore goes to Tuskegee and Louis Winsor to Iowa City. William Moore is in our city again and is going to stay. Miss Lillian Moore had a party Saturday evening in honor of her brother. There were about thirty present. Mr. M. Pennington was given some fruit that was purchased in Muscatine by Mrs. Walkup and she hopes that he will certainly enjoy it. Mrs. M. Pearson was called to Muscatine on Wednesday on account of sickness. Mrs. M. Brown and daughter, Myrtle, spent Sunday and Labor day in Kewanee. Mr. and Mrs. G. Pearson, Mr. and Mrs. W. Walkup and daughter, Bertha, and Mr. Louis Henry of Davenport were the week-end guests of Mrs. T. Grooms of Muscatine. Mr. Henry, Sr., of Davenport was the guest of Mrs. F. Groom on Labor day. He arrived in Muscatine too late for breakfast, but not to late for dinner. Mrs. Grooms had a lovely dinner and there were about thirty that enjoyed it. The afternoon was spent in playing cards and croquet. The evening was spent in dancing and cards. There were two prizes. First to Miss B. Edmunds of Rock Island and second to Mrs. Smith of Muscatine. Light refreshments were served at a late hour, after which all departed and the out of town guests left on the last train for home. We all say Mrs. F. Grooms is a royal entertainer. Some of our colored boys are to leave this week for training camp and we are very sorry to see them go and hope that they will not have to go any further. A number from here attended the picnic at Prospect park in Moline. Mr. Earl Bassett won two prizes. He couldn't go to Moline and not bring Rock Island something back, as he knew we wouldn't like it, so he did his very best and brought back the bacon. Last Thursday evening a surprise party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mack of this city, in honor of Miss Ruth Pollard, who is visiting her sister, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Dobson, of this city. A table was laid for thirty-eight guests. A very pleasant evening was spent, with plenty of refreshments, dancing and cards being the features of the evening.

BUSINESS LEAGUE ON FIRM FOOTING PRESIDENT NAPIER SPEAKS Washington's Successor Pays Glowing Tribute to Tennessee's Chief Executive—Refers With Pride to Professor W. J. Hale's Work as an Educator and Compliments Our Soldiers. Echoes of the recent convention of the National Negro Business league, held at Chattanooga, are still being heard. These notes of praise and satisfaction come from the public as well as from members of the organization, who are rejoicing over the fact that the league has recovered from the shock sustained by the death of its illustrious founder and president, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and has taken on new life under the Hon. J. C. Napier, whose loyalty to racial interest has endeared him to the members of the league. The proceedings of the league were taken down by William H. Davis of Washington, who is the official stenographer for the league. Mr. Davis credits President J. C. Napier as having said in his address introducing Governor Tom C. Rye as follows: "It is indeed a rare privilege and pleasure, as well as an honor, for which we are profoundly grateful, to P. have a real live mayor and a real live governor to be present with us in person and not by proxy for the purpose of welcoming the delegates to the eighteenth annual convention, of the National Negro Business league on behalf of this progressive city of Chattanooga and the great state of Tennessee. * * * My friends, I know that in Governor Tom C. Rye the Negroes of this state have a friend. [Applause.] "I have gone to him on more occasions than one to ask of him this favor or that favor, with respect to some member of our race, or with respect to some school or educational institution in which our race was primarily interested, or with respect to some military or other proposition affecting our race, and never has he turned his back upon any proposition or any request looking to the uplift of our people and the protection of their rights before the law. [Hearty applause.] "Why, my friends, through Governor Rye's efforts we have the best state Negro Normal school in Tennessee of any that exists to this entire country for Negroes. [Ampiause.] And at the head of that institution, through the recommendation of Governor Rye, we have one of the most capable and efficient young men as principal-referring to Professor W. J. Hale -- that can be found among the leading educators of this country. * * * Why, my friends, we have in this great state of Tennessee, through the efforts of such men as Governor Rye, a Negro militia or military company, and that no other state in the southland can say. "There was also a time when Governor Rye, by merely a scratch of his pen, could have put that Negro troop out of existence, but when a delegation called upon him, advocating such action, he declared that so long as he was governor he would never write his name to any order or any legislative enactment abolishing or discharging that splendid body of Negro soldiers. **** [Hearty aplause.] "I am glad to see that we have here on this platform the mayor of Chattanooga, who represents one of the great political parties, and the governor of our state, who represents another great political party, so you see, my friends, that all the white people of the great state of Tennessee. Irrespective of party affiliation, are friends of the Negro [applause] and are willing to lend their presence and do everything else they can to encourage him. [Applause]. It is now my pleasure to introduce to you a man, a stalwart, liberal minded American, whom we believe to be competent and whom we should like to see occupy the highest position in the gift of this nation—his excellency Tom C. Rye, governor of the great state of Tennessee. [Prolonged applause, Chauqua salute and cheering.] --- PRESIDENT J. C. NAPIER. Of the second quarterly conference of Des Moines district A. M. E.

BARNETT DODSON. In speaking of the success of the recent session of the National Negro Business league we should not overlook the fact that it was due in a large measure to the faithful work of Corresponding Secretary Emmett J. Scott. From the very inception of the organization Mr. Scott has been the one individual who has kept the members and the general public informed of every important movement fostered by the league from year to year. The record of life membership, the work of the executive committee, the time and place of each annual meeting and the task of getting up a program with speakers representing nearly every phase of interest or business in which our people are engaged has been Mr. Scott's. He is the business league's little "steam engine," and during the past eighteen years of the league's existence has pulled into the station of every business, professional, religious or social rendezvous of the race throughout the nation. When Dr. Booker T. Washington began the delivery of his last annual address before thousands of both races at Boston in August, 1015, he said: "Before uttering a single word of my annual address I want to thank Mr. Scott for the success of this meeting. The credit for this program and the bringing of so many successful business men and women together at this session of the league belongs to Mr. Scott." Dr. Washington was right. What he said of Mr. Scott then is true of the secretary now. Not only the members of the league, but the entire race, owe Mr. Scott a debt of gratitude which can only be paid in part by remaining loyal to the principles of the league as enunciated by Booker T. Washington. THE SEPTEMBER CRISIS Current Number of Militant Race Journal Reaches High Water Mark The September Crisis carries a twenty page supplement, with photographs, of the East St. Louis massacre, as investigated by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. The cover is the first of a series of art drawings from life of Negro types in the United States by Frank Walts. The editors include "More Suggestions," "Awake, America!" "The Black Bastille" and "A Plan For the Southern Immigrant." The "Looking Glass" is an account with pictures of the Negro silent protest parade on Fifth avenue. New York, July 28. A poem, "Again It Is September," by Jessie Fauset, with a drawing by Laura Wheeler; "The So Called Black Peril In South Africa," an article by Alice Werner; "Negro Soldiers," a poem by Roscoe C. Jamison, with an illustration by Carlton Thorpe, and "The Ragtime Regiment," a story by Henry Davis Middleton, are all of great interest. In "Men of the Month" are featured Ridgely Torrence, the playwright; Rev J. A. Bray, general secretary of education in the C. M. E. church; Miss Mary Cromwell, the first colored woman to receive the degree of master of arts from the University of Pennsylvania the late Rev J. E. Smith of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Alderman L. B. Anderson of Chicago, Rev C. M. Tanner, recently made pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in Washington, and a photograph of Colonel Charles Young.

The September edition reaches the 43,000 mark. UNITED FOR PROTECTION. Associated Employees' Union at New York Is Making Progress. The Associated Colored Employees union, an organization national in scope with headquarters in New York, is making a canvass to ascertain working conditions and the number of persons engaged in the various lines of work for the purpose of unionizing the colored people throughout the country. The association is making splendid headway and is in a position to help those seeking employment to get employment as their abilities call for, whether skilled, unskilled or professional. The organization is conducting an information and employment bureau for the benefit of Negroes coming from the south. It has been found, it is said, that many educated Negroes, capable of working as skilled mechanics and artisans, are being employed as porters, elevator men and janitors, and attempts will be made by the organization to find more remunerative work for them. The promoters of the movement plan to establish branch unions in all cities where the Negro population is 5,000 or more. Helping Home For Aged and Infirm. Under the leadership of Mrs. George Cole, a committee of energetic women conducted a successful flower sale for the benefit of the Home For Aged and Infirm Colored Women at Pittsburgh on Saturday, Sept. 1. The public showed keen interest in the efforts of the women in behalf of the bride by patronizing the sale liberally. Elder G. W. White delivered a wonderful sermon at 1 p. m. at the A. M. 12. Zion church. At 3 p. m. in the park the citizens of Scandia enjoyed a patriotic meeting, in which Hon. Judge DeGraff of Des Moines delivered an eloquent address, "Are You An American." The judge brought to the minds of those under the sound of his voice why America should win this great world's war. Dr. Botts of Madrid also spoke. The Dr. touched along the historical line, "Why Every Young Man Should Rally to the Call of the Country." The Dr. has given up his practice in Madrid to serve his country. Miss Thora Brooking of Woodward gave an address, "Our Young Christian Men At the Front." Every one present enjoyed the speaking. Why? Many more of the young men who heard the wonderful talks of each speaker decided to take a firm stand for the stars and stripes, whether he be an American by birth or of foreign birth. There were eight different nationalities who participated in the meeting. Many visitors from surrounding towns and country were present. Mrs. Lucy Ray is on the sick list at this writing. Mr. Dave Crockett is also on the sick list. Elder G. W. White left for Vinton, Iowa, Tuesday morning. Meter White, who has been spending her vacation with her parents, returned to Vinton, where she will enter school. Her many friends will miss her from among them.

They are inexpensive and act quickly. Drink hot water every morning with kidneco to cleanse and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
