Prof. Laurence C. Jones of the Piney Woods school, who has been making his headquarters in Des Moines for the past two months, left last Tuesday for Omaha, where he will have headquarters for a few weeks while calling upon his Piney Woods friends in western Iowa. In explanation relative to the opening of his institution Principal Jones said: "Our plant does not need to have a formal opening inasmuch as it is open the entire year. It would be unbusinesslike and very unsatisfactory to The South Has No Charms Encouraged by the recent troubles in northern communities numerous southern delegations from various communities, have recently visited Chicago, and other cities, with the most glowing inducements to colored people, urging them to "come back to the land where they are best loved and most under- In a great massmeeting held in the Nighth regiment armory on the night of Labor day, a question was asked by one of the speakers: "How many of you wish to return south?" In every portion of the audience of 4,000 could be heard the expressions "none," "no one." In very truth, this is the universal sentiment. Reports from employment bureaus, the Urban league, and from members of commissions and delegations themselves, from the south, declare that little or no encouragement has been received, in the matter of returning south. One man expressed the sentiment of thousands when he said: "I would rather live in Chicago if they had a riot here every week." Another typical individual made a very amusing comment. This happened in the assembly room of the Chicago Urban League, and is vouchered for. The big white southerner was present, before an assembly of more than one hundred Negro workmen. He described enthusiastically that on his plantation there are many legs that needed sawing up. Railroad transportation would be furnished and four dollars per day paid to the laborers. "How many of you wish to go?" he asked. There was painful silence.

NEGRO HOTEL FOR LOUISVILLE (By Associated Negro Press.) Louisville, Ky., Sept. 12.—The first hotel for Negroes in Louisville will DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 12, 1919. "They Shall Not Pass" Since the Washington and Chicago riots, the daily newspapers of the south, have been having a glorious time joshing the north. They have been saying, in effect; "While we lynch Negroes in the south, we never bother other than the one lynched, all others are safe." Now comes Knoxville, Tenn., knocking the sox out of that flimsy argument. In a riot in that southern city, Negroes were called upon to defend themselves and their homes, as they were called upon in Washington and Chicago. That they manifested a remarkable spirit of self-defense, all reports concur. The time has come when the American Negro has taken up the famous expression of Marshal Joffre, and made it their own: "They Shall Not Pass." The American Negro has been of the most patient and long suffering group of people ever known to history. He is in perfect love with all that, is just and righteous. "Perfect love casts out all fear," and therefore, in defense of his manhood rights, death, today, has real charms. This being the case, and since it has been a long time custom of the rough element of the American whites to hold the race in subjection by fear, it seems most prudent, wise and time, to "come let us reason together." In many communities, north and south, this is being done with fine effect. It may as well be understood, and nothing else should be expected whether this is regarded as a "white man's country"—even thought it was stolen from the red man, who has always been friendly to the black man—or not, the American Negro today has a new point of view, which all hades cannot wipe out. Listening to the siren of righteousness, justice, liberty, freedom and democracy, he has accepted the tenor of their way, and with keen eyes, set face, steady tread, open mind and strong arm, asks nothing more, and certainly will take nothing less. Neither the aggressor nor the oppressed, the American Negro places his cause before the right thinking people of the nation, who, in every crisis, have been the victors.—Negro Associated Press. Nominated For Candidate for Assembly New York, N. Y., Sept. 12.—Republicans in the nineteenth assembly district, which includes a large part of the Harlem Negro secton, have nominated Miss Marguerite L. Smith, a teacher in the Horace Mann School as candidate for the assembly. The Negroes have announced that they will place in the field an opposition independent republican candidate the Rev. R. M.

C., Sept. 12.—In the house of representatives July 25, 1919 Mr. Emerson introduced the following joint resolution, which was referred to the committee on appropriations and ordered to be printed: To investigate the race riots in Washington and elsewhere. Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that a committee composed of five members of the senate, to be appointed by the president of the senate and five members of the house, to be appointed by the speaker of the house for the purpose of the United States and lynchings that of investigating the race riots all over have occurred in the United States, and ascertain if possible the causes of the same and what remedy should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same. Said committee shall have power to attendance of the same, and to hold subpoena witnesses and compel the hearings in any part of the United States. The sum of $50,000 is hereby appropriated out of any money in the United States treasury not otherwise appropriated to defray the expense of such investigation. Best Treatment for a Bilirubin If for no other reason, Chamberlain's Salve should be kept in every house- hold on account of its great value in Colored Women In Industry The work of colored women during the mobilization of women power to fill men's places proved that the colored woman has her place in industry and is capable of maintaining high principles of efficiency. In many cases the un skilled labor fell to her lot and we found her doing very heavy work in brickyards, sawmills, and glass factories. The railroads employed her in great numbers to do yard-work and track-cleaning. But then she also found that she was needed in labor which required more skill, in knitting and clothing mills, in underwear, button, embroidery, and feather factories. In one place which was working two shifts, white women had the day shift and colored women the night shift. During a given length of time the output of two shifts was compared and the colored women averaged 1,500 more shells than the white. A group of colored women in one city were found dipping clay in glaze and stacking, chipping impurities from clay, shoveling and wheeling rock, trucking brick, and loading scrap iron. In some of these cases the women were being paid less than men whose places they were so efficiently filling. The wages paid to men were three dollars a day for shoveling in a clay bank, but the women who released them for the army were given a dollar or half dollar less. To prevent conditions like these and the lowering of labor values means that colored women must be organized, just as our white women need organization. Women have come into industry to stay, and "women" means colored as well as white. Their industrial problems are the same—conditions of work, pay, hours, housing, and recreation. The adjustment of labor includes the colored women. To meet her needs the Young Women's Christian Association has already established eight industrial centers.—Southern Workman. the treatment of burns.

King, president-elect of Liberia, arrived here yesterday on the steamship Carmania, on his first visit to the United States. After a short stay in New York he will go to Washington to pay his respects to President Wilson. He was met down the bay by H. F. Worley, United States government receiver of customs and fiscal agent of Liberia, who represented the state department in receiving the president-elect. Mr. King said that a credit of $5, 000,000 granted this country by the United States, which is the first loan of consequence ever negotiated by Liberia, would be used for public improvements which would tend to make the country still more productive and create a larger import and export trade. While in this country, Mr. King will address the World Christian Citizenship Conference in Pittsburgh in November. This engagement was made while he was attending the peace conference as a delegate from Liberia. President Wilson and Queen Marie of Rumania also will be speakers. CEDAR RAPIDS NEWS. Rev.

Owing to this advantage the number of Negro Girl Scouts is on the increase, showing a splendid roll to date. Nearly 150 have enrolled under leadership especially chosen. The roster shows that the Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church has twenty scouts, under Jessie Blair, captain. As a mark of force of the new movement in the education of girls, a glance at the July report from National Girl Scout headquarters, just received here, shows that during last month 258 girls, new scouts, have been added to the national roll, and this does not include the unregistered scout girls.

Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that a committee composed of five members of the senate, to be appointed by the president of the senate and five members of the house, to be appointed by the speaker of the house for the purpose of the United States and lynchings that of investigating the race riots all over have occurred in the United States, and ascertain if possible the causes of the same and what remedy should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same. Said committee shall have power to attendance of the same, and to hold subpoena witnesses and compel the hearings in any part of the United States. The sum of $50,000 is hereby appropriated out of any money in the United States treasury not otherwise appropriated to defray the expense of such investigation. Best Treatment for a Burn. If for no other reason, Chamberlain's Salve should be kept in every household on account of its great value in Colored Women In Industry The work of colored women during the mobilization of women power to fill men's places proved that the colored woman has her place in industry and is capable of maintaining high principles of efficiency. In many cases the unskilled labor fell to her lot and we found her doing very heavy work in brickyards, sawmills, and glass factories. The railroads employed her in great numbers to do yard-work and track-cleaning. But then she also found that she was needed in labor which required more skill, in knitting and clothing mills, in underwear, button, embroidery, and feather factories. In one place which was working two shifts, white women had the day shift and colored women the night shift. During a given length of time the output of two shifts was compared and the colored women averaged 1,500 more shells than the white. A group of colored women in one city were found dipping clay in glaze and stacking, chipping impurities from clay, shoveling and wheeling rock, trucking brick, and loading scrap iron. In some of these cases the women were being paid less than men whose places they were so efficiently filling. The wages paid to men were three dollars a day for shoveling in a clay bank, but the women who released them for the army were given a dollar or half dollar less. To prevent conditions like these and the lowering of labor values means that colored women must be organized, just as our white women need organization. Women have come into industry to stay, and "women" means colored as well as white. Their industrial problems are the same—conditions of work, pay, hours, housing, and recreation. The adjustment of labor includes the colored women. To meet her needs the Young Women's Christian Association has already established eight industrial centers—Southern Workman. the treatment of burns. It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts without leaving a scar. This salve is also unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price 25 cents. Adv. NEGRO PRESIDENT IN AMERICA NEGRO PRESIDENT IN AMERICA New York, N. Y.—C. D. B. King, president-elect of Liberia, arrived here yesterday on the steamship Carmania, on his first visit to the United States. After a short stay in New York he will go to Washington to pay his respects to President Wilson. He was met down the bay by H. F. Worley, United States government receiver of customs and fiscal agent of Liberia, who represented the state department in receiving the president-elect. Mr. King said that a credit of $3, 000,000 granted this country by the United States, which is the first loan of consequence ever negotiated by Liberia, would be used for public improvements which would tend to make the country still more productive and create a larger import and export trade. While in this country, Mr. King will address the World Christian Citizenship Conference in Pittsburgh in November. This engagement was made while he was attending the peace conference as a delegate from Liberia. President Wilson and Queen Marie of Rumania also will be speakers. CEDAR RAPIDS NEWS. Rev.

(By Associated Negro Press.) Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 12.—The Girl Scouts being a thoroughly democratic and American organization, it favors neither color nor creed. Owing to this advantage the number of Negro Girl Scouts is on the increase, showing a splendid roll to date. Nearly 150 have enrolled under leadership especially chosen. The roster shows that the Euclid Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church has twenty scouts, under Jessie Blair, captain. As a mark of force of the new movement in the education of girls, a glance at the July report from National Girl Scout headquarters, just received here, shows that during last month 258 girls, new scouts, have been added to the national roll, and this does not include the unregistered scout girls.

But an analysis of the eruption shows that it is just Trotter. This time, he and a few of his faithful followers have called upon a limited portion of republican congressmen and laid before them certain demands for recognition of the Negro by the league of nations clause in the peace treaty. We agree with Mr. Trotter that the Negro should have better treatment at the hands of his own government but we rather doubt the effect of Mr. Trotter's comment along this line. Mr. Trotter's songs are set too much to jazz music. Waving a bloody shirt is a poor method to adopt in subduing an angry bull. We are not prepared to enter the arena and grasp the bull by the horns and conquer him by a mere twist of the neck as Mr. Trotter would have those few republican gentlemen believe. Those men who listened to Mr. Trotter represent a very small portion of the G. O. P. and Mr. Trotter and his would be followers represent a smaller portion of the Negro race. The best thing for Mr. Trotter to do is to stop his solo work and come down and organize his race into a grand chorus and with the proper finacial backing the song will be heard, not by a few members of one political party, but by the people of the United States] WHITE CLOUD KANSAS ITEMS WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS ITEMS.

He embraced hope in Christ in 1894 was called to the ministry in 1895. Feeling unprepared to enter upon this great work he took a six years course in the Theological Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. His first pastorage was at Ann Arbor, Mich., where he remained several years, thence to Grand Rapids, Mich., where he labored successfully for three years. From Grand Rapids, Mich., he was called to Buxton, Ia., where he pastored ten years. During his pastorage at Grand Rapids he was married to Miss Margaret Minnis of Lynchburg, Va. Two children were born to this union, Thelma, age 11 and Virginia age 10. Mrs. Marget Woodard died May 4, 1914 and one June 2, 1915 he was married to Miss Rosa M. Jones of Lynchburg, Va. To this union was born one son who died in infancy. In March, 1919 Rev. Woodard accepted a call to pastor the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Cedar Rapids, In., on which field he was laboring at the time of his death. He was an ardent Christian gentleman and a faithful and and fearless gospel minister with a profound love for the church and the extension of Christ's kingdom in the world. He leaves to mourn their loss a loving wife, two children, one brother and a host of friends By the death of Rev. Woodard the Iowa Baptist state Sunday School condition is without a president. The executive board of the Iowa Baptist state convention (white) and the Iowa Baptist State Association are each one member less. The Foreign Mission board of the National Baptist convention has lost a faithful member. The Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Cedar Rapids, Ia., is without a beloved pastor and the entire community has lost a stalwart Christian man, a God fearing minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. THE BYSTANDFR RESOLUTION FROM OFFICERS BOARD AND CHURCH Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst and from our short but very pleasant association our pastor, Rev. F. B. Woodard. Whereas, the intimate relation held by our deceased pastor with the members of the board render it proper that we place on record our appreciation of his service as pastor and his merit as a man. Therefore be it resolved that while we bow with humble submission to the will of the most high we do not the less mourn for our pastor who has been called from labor to his reward. Resolved, that in the death of Rev. Woodard this church has lost a pastor who was always active and zealous in his work as a minister, ever ready to help the needy and distress of the flock prompt to advance the interests of the church devoted to its welfare and prosperity. One who was wise in counsel and fearless in actions, an honest and upright man, whose virtues not only endeared him to the members, but to the community at large. Resolved that this board teender its heartfelt sympathy to the beloved family and brother of our deceased pastor in this their sad affliction and that we commend them to our heavenly father, who is alwise and doeth all things well.

S., M. D.) Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C. Influenza. (La Grippe, Flu, Spanish Influenza.) My object has been and is to make these articles as simple in composition, using as few technical words and terms as possible in order that there may be an applicability of them to everyday life. I shall confine myself in this article to giving simply what the disease is and its effect on the mortality of last year. To discuss such a broad, inclusive and important disease in the limited space allotted for each medical article in our paper, I feel would not be doing justice to my readers, hence shall continue the discussion in a subsequent writing Influenza or la gripe is a pandemic disease appearing at irregular intervals, characterized by extraordinary rapidity of extention and the large number of people attached. Following the pandemic there are as a rule, for several years endemic, epidemic and sparadic outbreaks in different regions. It does not necessarily follow, however, that we will have an epidemic this fall and winter, but there is certainly no assurance that such will not be the case, and I don't think there is any better time than now to prepare for eventualities. To acquaint you with the ravages of this particular disease it is necessary only to state that the number of victims was ten times greater than the number of American soldiers killed in the world's war. Over one-half million people passed into the "great beyond," not being able to withstand this "monster giant of the men of death." The rate of mortality which the American life insurance companies had to meet in 1918 was about 32 per cent greater than in 1917 and 14 per cent greater than the average death rate for a score of years. Thirty-eight life insurance companies paid $93,000,000 more than in 1917 for death claims and endowments. There are several types of influenza that is classifying it as to its modes of onset—respiratory, nervous form, gastro—intestinal form, and the febrile form. In the respiratory form the disease resembles very much an ordinary acute cold in its onset, and individuals pay very little attention to it because of this fact, hence I am lead to believe that, many of the cases of influenza that developed serious consequences could have been averted or the severity of the attack lessened if this fact had been known and a physician called in at the beginning. The nervous form sets in with an attack on the nervous system with little or no symptoms of the form just described, and again some among us might be mislead because of the absence of a cold. The nervous symptoms usually manifest themselves in the form of a headache, pains in the back and joints and profound posttraction. Among the more serious complications may be mentioned meningitis and encephalitis, the latter leading to hemiplegia or monoplegia. The onset of the fever in the gastrointestinal type there may be nausea and vomiting, or the attack may set in with abdominal pain, profuse diarrhea and collapse. In the febrile form the only marked manifestation is the fever which may resemble most any kind of febrile condition. In all cases of even suspected influenza consult immediately your physician, for it is a disease that baffles the most competent and the best is none too good to treat or ward off its deadly attack.

Following the pandemic there are as a rule, for several years endemic, epidemic and sparadic outbreaks in different regions. It does not necessarily follow, however, that we will have an epidemic this fall and winter, but there is certainly no assurance that such will not be the case, and I don't think there is any better time than now to prepare for eventualities. To acquaint you with the ravages of this particular disease it is necessary only to state that the number of victims was ten times greater than the number of American soldiers killed in the world's war. Over one-half million people passed into the "great beyond," not being able to withstand this "monster giant of the men of death." The rate of mortality which the American life insurance companies had to meet in 1918 was about 32 per cent greater than in 1917 and 14 per cent greater than the average death rate for a score of years. Thirty-eight life insurance companies paid $93,000,000 more than in 1917 for death claims and endowments. There are several types of influenza that is classifying it as to its modes of onset—respiratory, nervous form, gastro—intestinal form, and the febrile form. In the respiratory form the disease resembles very much an ordinary acute cold in its onset, and individuals pay very little attention to it because of this fact, hence I am lead to believe that, many of the cases of influenza that developed serious consequences could have been averted or the severity of the attack lessened if this fact had been known and a physician called in at the beginning. The nervous form sets in with an attack on the nervous system with little or no symptoms of the form just described, and again some among us might be mislead because of the absence of a cold. The nervous symptoms usually manifest themselves in the form of a headache, pains in the back and joints and profound posttraction. Among the more serious complications may be mentioned meningitis and encephalitis, the latter leading to hemiplegia or monoplegia. The onset of the fever in the gastrointestinal type there may be nausea and vomiting, or the attack may set in with abdominal pain, profuse diarrhea and collapse. In the febrile form the only marked manifestation is the fever which may resemble most any kind of febrile condition. In all cases of even suspected influenza consult immediately your physician, for it is a disease that baffles the most competent and the best is none too good to treat or ward off its deadly attack.
