Iowa State Bystander

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.

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.

The little girls' May-pole drill was especially pretty, and the rendition of music by the girls' chorus was a tribute to Prof. Graves' ability as musical director.

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.
