THE BYSTANDER State Capitol Blvd. Hist. With The Colors By Gus Durdan, Des Moines, Iowa Son's Diary. There are in Newport News a certain class of people who when the word Stevedore is mentioned, open their mouths in astonishment and, when at length they speak, exhaust the dictionary in trying to condemn the unfortunate soldiers at Camp Hill. The residents seem to possess the opinion that those of their own social set are far above the social status of all the boys at Camp Hill. Some of these same critics are but of a number of others who need just unlock their family closets, and therein will be found any number of skeletons. The other night, a friend of mine and myself were invited to a full dress evening dance. There are, in camp, two young men of good families, well educated, and perfect gentlemen. My friend and I took it upon ourselves to invite these young men to the affair. We may have done wrong in doing this, but certainly this was not so frievously wrong as to warrant the insulting of our comrades. Yet they were insulted and that by the president of the society that was giving the dance. Yes, by the president himself, a man of little education, questionable character, and with no other aim in life than slinging hash in a cheap hotel. His excuse for the insult was that the ladies were only protecting their daughters. Yes, protect the daughters! But shall this be done at the expense of the young men? Are not the young men to be protected also? Can a condition of purity exist where all females are virtuous and the men are moral lepers, any more than a nation can exist half free and half slave? As has been said before—a house divided against itself can not stand. Must a young man, just because he has enough love for humanity to sacrifice his ambitions to fight for his country, his home, his mother, and his sister, he denied every vestige of home influence? Must a young man carry a pocket full of recommendations and letters of introduction before he can enter the midst of a camouflage society without being insulted? What makes a gentleman? Is it his family or his character? Many moral lepers have come from the so-called First Families, and many men of lowly parentage have risen to fame, their influence been felt the world around. Our Savior, Jesus Christus, proved this as he came among the lowly. And shall they who are themselves socially diseased sit in judgment upon young men of higher ideals and calibre than they? Shall it be allowed to them to shut the gates of home influence upon the young men and throw them out into the hell-holes, to be infected by the contaminating crowd? Is it not just as criminal to force a living-death upon a youth as it is to meet him on a dark street and foully murder him? If it is protection that they are seeking to give the women, they should at least be sensible and consistent. It isn't very often that a Stevedore Dressmaking at the Beauty Shop by Miss B.

Handy Funeral Director ITALIAN METHOD OF EMBALMING Des Moines, Iowa is praised. In fact, he isn't ever supposed to do anything worthy of commendation. His is the lot of the underman. Almost everyone seems to be of the opinion that a Stevedores is only receiving his just treatment when he is cuffed and knocked about. But yesterday the Stevedores came into their own. The countryside around is still echoing the applause for them. Today our boys participated in a drill. It was their first opportunity to prove to the people of Tide Water District that the boys from Camp Hill are soldiers and, above all, men. Everyone applauded the boys as they marched down the streets of Norfolk. Dressed in their new olive drab uniforms, new hats, and shoes, crest, and in perfect rhythm with the bands "fore and aft," they could not but demand admiration. The boys had been "cooped" up so long that they—just tried themselves—when on parade. They proved to the satisfaction of every one of the thirty thousand spectators who witnessed the parade, that the Negroes are by nature the best soldiers. With only two days drill in squad and platoon movements, they were so far superior to their fellow marchers, the marines, that one of the latter commented, "Well, how do you expect us to equal them, when we have had only eight weeks of drilling and all that they do is drill?" This is quite a joke to our boys, whose only drill training has been their march to and from work. The captains are very proud of their men. One asserted that he preferred the command of colored troops because history proves that they are the most susceptible to discipline, the most pleasant amidst the direct hardships, and that theirs was the most indomitable spirit. THE MILITARY The above is a cut of First Lieut. James B. Morris, now stationed at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Lieut. Morris is a graduate of the law department of Howard University and came to Des Moines about three years ago where he started his practice. Upon the opening of the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, he was one of the candidates for training and was successful in receiving the commission of first lieutenant. Recently Lieut. Morris has taken unto himself a lovely wife in the person of Miss Georgine McCoy of Baltimore, Md. He can count his friends among the best people of Des Moines, as he has always conducted himself in such a gentlemanly manner as to demand the high respect of all. B. H. Mr. John F. Griffin, the present sheriff, is a candidate for renomination this year, subject to the primaries. Mr. Griffin is a Des Moines boy, where he grew to manhood. He has always been active in the republican ranks and has held many appointive offices in Polk county, which makes him familiar with the county business. He has made a splendid sheriff, always treating all classes and races with equal justice. He knows no color line, each man gets a square deal. He has had more bad characters to deal with since the Camp Dodge has been here than any of his predecessors, and met the occasion and licits your sup (To be continued.) M. Edwin J.

Starzinger, who is a candidate for renomination for his second term, subject to the republican primaries June 3rd. Mr. Starzinger is a Polk county man, born and raised in this county. He has never asked or held an elective office until two years ago, when he was elected to the legislature, although an active republican worker. While in the legislature last session he was a member of twelve different committees and was chairman of one of the most important committees. Mr. Starzinger is a good business man and has always given the common people a square deal. He is a good friend to the colored people as he employs them, and his many friends solicit your support and vote in his behalf. LEWIS FOR COMMISSIONER. It is a pleasure for ye editor to present the cut of Dwight N. Lewis of this city, who is a candidate for State Railroad Commissioner, as there are two to be elected. Governor Clarke, in the selection of Dwight Lewis for membership on the Board of Railroad Commissioners as the successor of Clifford Thorne, has chosen a man of the highest personal character and one whose life work has been of the nature preparing him for the office which he has received. Dwight Lewis has been connected with the office of the railway commission in some manner ever since he left high school. He entered upon the discharge of his duties with knowledge and fitness to back him. In Des Moines Mr. Lewis is known as the especial friend of young men and as an enthusiastic supporter of every good cause. He is a good friend of the colored race and merits your support. ROCK ISLAND NEWS. Rev. Saunders departed Tuesday evening for Des Moines, which will be his future home. Mrs. J. Slaughter arrived home from the hospital last week and is getting along fine at this writing. The Odd Fellows lodge held their annual sermon Sunday, May 12, at the A. M. E. Church.

The above cut is that of Hon. C. C. Pugh of this city, who is a candidate for Secretary of State, subject to the republican primaries June 3. He was born and raised on an Iowa farm. He has always been an active republican worker, always working to help the other fellow to get in office, and now his many friends think it is time for him to receive the office. He has never before asked or held an elective office. He is a true and tried friend of the colored people and merits their vote. WEBSTER FOR COMMISSIONER. The above cut is that of Hon. Chas. Webster, who is a candidate for Railroad Commissioner. There are two to be elected. He is filling an unexpired term by appointment of the governor, and should be nominated unanimously for a full term in his own right. Webster is made of the proper qualities for this office. As a business man for years engaged in the shipping of lumber, grain and live stock, he is peculiarly well fitted to know the desires and rights of shippers, and he has the proper amount of backbone to enforce the rights when they are properly presented. On the other hand he is eminently fair minded, and every demand made must have just and logical data before he arrives at a conclusion. While he has sympathy for the shipper in many of his contentions, he believes in fairness to all classes, all races and all nationalities. Do You Enjoy Life? A man in good physical condition is almost certain to enjoy life, while the bilious and dyspeptic are despondent, do not enjoy their meals and feel miserable a good share of the time. This ill feeling is nearly always unnecessary. A few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets to tone up the stomach, improve the digestion and regulate the bowels is all that is needed. Try it.

He was the guest of Chas. Wilson on Arthur street. He had three strenuous days and nights, every minute of his valuable time being taken up in work and receptions. The first day he, in company with Hon. Geo. H. Woodson, visited the State Capitol and attended to the business at the insurance department. Friday afternoon he met the ladies and at night the brothers held a wonderful meeting. Saturday John L. Thompson drove him with Mrs. Love out to Camp Dodge to meet Capt. Love and other friends. At night a general reception was given, at which time he organized A Royal House and appointed John L. Thompson Most Worthy Royal King and Mrs. Reynolds Most Royal Princess.

Dr. Williams caught the 12 o'clock train for Kansas City, feeling highly elated over his second visit to the Capital City of Iowa.

We take pride in presenting to our people of Polk county the candidacy of our friend, Edwin J. Prisk, for County Attorney. Mr. Prisk is well and favorably known to many of our people, and has many friends among us. The Editor has a personal acquaintance with Mr. Prisk of many years, and can truthfully say that he is deserving of the vote and support of our people. He has always manifested and shown a disposition to be eminently fair in all his dealings in office or out. While he was justice of the peace, he gained the respect and admiration of all for his fair and honorable treatment, and we feel that he should be accorded a large vote from our ranks, as a merit for his past clean record. We vouch for his competency, he has the experience, ably qualified and well fitted for the place. BUXTON, IOWA The Buxton miners have certainly proved themselves true blue in the various financial drives and campaigns to help win the war. They have just finished one of the largest Liberty Loan subscriptions of any community compared in size in the state of Iowa. The Colored Odd Fellows turned out Sunday in grand array. They left their field at the Y, headed by the Buxton Cornet Band, and made a grand parade through the principal streets, and circled back to the A. M. E. Church, where they had their annual sermon preached by Rev. J. J. Evans. Buxton has had scores of auto buyers during the last few weeks. Space will not permit us to separately name them ```markdown ``` but we must say that the fever has been running mighty high. The band stand has been moved from the Armstrong site to the Y. M. C. A. lot, where the band boys expect to soon open their season concerts running every Saturday night; sacred concerts Sunday afternoon. The Yankee Robinson circus brought out the largest crowd of people to Buxton that has ever been known to gather here at any one time. It was roughly estimated at between ten and twelve thousand people. Freddie Eves of Des Moines has recently been employed at the Monroe Mercantile Co. soda fountain department. We are much grieved to report the death of Mrs. J. F. Baker, which occurred last Friday at Iowa City hospital after undergoing several operations Mrs. E. T. Mills recently received a message announcing that her son Arthur, who has been stationed at Newport News, has arrived safely in France. Mr. Moses Gains passed away at the home of his daughter last Sunday after a long illness. Mr. Herman Burkes was called from Camp Dodge last week to attend the illness of his wife. Mrs. Louise and Mr. Sam Montjoy are the proud parents of a fine baby girl. Bother mother and baby are doing nicely. Mr. Thomas Brown continues on the sick list. Mr. John Holland and stepson Freddie of South Dakota arrived in Buxton last week. They intend to work here this summer. It's quite strange how quick some girls seem to tire of their names. For instance, we understand that Miss Martha Reasby has decided to change her name to Mrs Oscar Wheels. Mr. Roseeoe Buckanhan, who has a long time been one of the managers of the Monroe Mercantile Co.'s big department store, has resigned to look after business interests of his own. Mr. Alee Cruze, one of the old employees of the Monroe Mercantile Co., has been called to Camp Dodge. PETER H. GARTON FOR SUPERVISOR. Our good old friend and one of the pioneer citizens of East Des Moines, S. B. Garton, is a candidate for Supervisor of Lee township, East Des Moines. Mr. Garton has lived in East Des Moines 40 years, a successful business man in the bakery and restaurant until a few years ago for a quarter of a century. He is a friend to the common people, an abolitionist and was also a member of Polk county legislature and did more to pass the bill to give the colored people an appropriation for Lincoln centennial celebration. 128 HOYT FOR STATE TREASURER. The above cut is that of Senator Edwin H. Hoyt of Manchester, Iowa, the present State Treasurer, who was appointed about a year ago by Governor Harding to succeed the late W. C. Brown. Mr. Hoyt is a successful business man and an active republican worker from his section of the state. He has been in the upper branch of the state legislature for several years and is familiar with the interests of the state. He has made an excellent treasurer since his appointment and his many friends solicit your support in his behalf. He is fair with all classes of people. RIPPEY FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY. This week we present the name of Arthur G. Rippey, who is a candidate for County Attorney, subject to the Republican primaries. Mr. Rippey has been Acting County Attorney under Capt. Wm. Henry. Mr. Rippey is a self made young man, a good lawyer and fine young man and his many friends are asking you to support him at the coming primaries June 3d. About Rheumatism Bheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that there is a remedy that will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. It is called Chamberlain's Liniment. McKEE FOR AUDITOR. Mr. Walter S. McKee is announcing his name as a candidate for County Auditor. He has been a resident of this county 28 years, is connected with insurance, a good business man, has never held or asked for an elective-office and by age and qualification will make a good county officer. His many friends are asking your support in his behalf. He will treat all races and classes with equal justice. A large number attended the recital of Miss R. Pettiford, Ohio's famous reader. A number of home talent were on the program also. It was a grand success socially and financially. Mrs. Abel of Monmouth spent Mon- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN M. H. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN James B.

This is particularly true of headache. The most common cause of headache is a disordered stomach or constipation, which may be corrected by taking a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. Try it.

When a manufacturer or other producer of real wealth does a profitable business and turns his profits back into the business, he gives employment to men and creates more real wealth as he progresses year by year. He, does more real good for his fellowmen than he would if he gave all his profits in charity, because it is better to make people self-supporting and independent than it is to give them something for nothing no matter how worthy the motives may be. Biliousness and Constipation. Blissfulness and Constipation. "For years I was troubled with believiness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me.

The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally."—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala.
