Miss Gross is a teacher in the academy while Miss White is the university instructor of instrumental music. Mr. John L. Drew and Miss Edna B.

He khows all our needs He hears all our calls And when/at times Trouble upon us falls (4) Hold in our all NOTES FRO By I Probably at the city of W NOTES FRO MWASHINGTON, D. C. BY I. E. Williamson. Probably at no time in the history of the city of Washington has Abraham Lincoln's historical Emancipation Proclamation been so universally celebrated as it was on Sept. 22, 1919, the fifty-seventh anniversary since the abolishing of human slavery in this country. It took on the form of church and public place gatherings of the people in various places, rather than that of calling the people together at some central place with its pomp and pageantry proclaiming our fifty-seventh birthday of freedom. Senators and congressmen were glad to aid us in these meetings with addresses suitable to the occasion, on invitations from those having them in charge. All can not be given space at this time who were instrumental in commemorating this great event; but suffice it to say that through the public spirited efforts of Attorney I. E. Williamson, who still retains his Des Moines legal residence, Hon. Cassius C. Dowell of the seventh congressional district of Iowa was secured to speak for our people at New Bethel Baptist church to a very appreciative audience. Seated on the pulpit platform with Congressman Dowell were Lawyer Williamson, the master of ceremonies; Mr. J. Frank Blagburn of Des Moines and Rev. W. D. Jarvis, the minister in charge of the church. Delegated bodies in uniform from the ranks of the I. B. P. O. E. W. commanded by Capt. George B. Hunt, and Knights of Pythias by Gen. H. Clay Smith added immediately to the spirit of patriotism and freedom heightened by the occasion; while the Community Civic Centers' band, an organization of musicians, led by Prof. James F. Miller, was warmly applauded for the soul-stirring selections rendered for the occasion. Congressman Dowell does not make public speeches as a rule, but gave as a reason at this time, that he felt that he owed such an allegiance to his state that he could not decline to respond to the solicitations of an Iowa even though he had been absent for a long time from the grand old state. The war conditions have caused a great scarcity of houses, which, in turn, has created a new impetous among the people to meet those conditions by seeking to purchase homes for themselves, and stop paying rent. In fact, the hardships undergone to even get houses to rent, has caused substantial stock companies and corporations to be formed to meet the housing demand. There are more people in Washington, D. C. today, buying, and bargaining to buy homes than has ever been known before. One of the most energetic and public spirited men in the city of Washington is Mr. John Whitelaw Lewis. He came to Washington about twenty-five years ago with General Coxey's army, hunting a job. He found it among the "Sons of Toil," but with indomitable will and dogged, tenacity he has not only succeeded where more scholarly men have failed, but he has talked and worked himself into the founding, and, State Capitol Blvd. Historical Room Christ!

LOUIS, MO. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 22.—The new Poro college, St. Ferdinand and Pendle-Malone and dedicated Thanksgiving, 1918, at which time editors of nearly every weekly paper in the country and Poro agents throughout the United States attended, was the scene of inspiring ceremonies Sunday, Oct. 19, when the Mural Tripartite, a handsome painting in the rotunda of the building was unveiled. The Poro building which is a monument to the genius of Mr. and Mrs. Malone, has been newly decorated on the interior by the foremost painters of the Mound City. Special hand paintings were observed in the private apart- into the presidency of the Industrial Savings bank and also to the erection of, the Whitelaw apartment, a fine five-story structure, just completed; and is now on a drive to complete the financing scheme for the erection of two other apartments for 1920. The I. B. P. E. O. W. and the Knights of Pythias lodges held very successful sessions in Atlantic City in August. The writer was at the K. P. session, and met many that he knew in other days, but failed to meet his old Des Moines associates, Rev. C. W. Newton and Mr. Harrison Gould, Jr., who he afterwards heard were there. Miss Adah Hyde, daughter of your esteemed townsman, Mr. R. N. Hyde, paid her first visit to Washington a few weeks ago; calling on Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Barton and Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Williamson, besides visiting many other places of interest. I dare say that Miss Hyde will give a good account of herself to her Des Moines friends from her vacation on her return home. I learned that Des Moines has some enrollments in the university, but I have not met any of them yet. The university has for this year the largest enrollment in its history. Rev. Emory B. Smith, the gifted young minister of Lincoln Temple Congregational church, here, returned a few days ago from his vacation, having visited Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and other points of interest. He delighted a number of addresses in the interest of the N. A. A. C. P., and was greatly pleased with the work that was being done in furtherance of the cause among the people. There is now on foot, here, plans to open a bazaar by the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; during the holidays for the purpose of exploiting the principles among the masses, instead of the "classes of the people, here, and elsewhere. OTTUMWA BRIEFS. The N. A. A. C. P. held its regular meeting Monday at the Masonic hall. The Lyric club rendered a very interesting and successful program "An Evening with all Nations" representing the leading races in music and cos- ments of the Malones, public dining room, auditorium, corridor and lobby. These artistic decorations make Poro college rank among the handsomest institutions in America. Gives Race Employment. While Poro college gives employment to over 250 women of the race, both young and old, yet the Malones have been unselfish with their finances in having this wonderful painting placed on the wall that it might be an inspiration, encouragement, and joy to the many employees and the public. The Mural Tripartite is in three panels: The first, Genesis; the second, Exodus; the third, Apotheosis. In the Genesis, the Negro is seen bearing a burden. The burden contains his entire earthly possessions, for he has but lit-tumes. This work was managed by Mrs. T. B. Abner, chairman of the educational committee. Tuesday evening Mr. Bullawa Citaway, a native of Africa, lectured on "Will the Negro be a Man?" Many very interesting and instructive points were brought to bear on the minds of his audience. Dan Cupid has been quite busy during the past week and with his magic arrow struck the hearts of the following: Mrs. Bell Dillard and Mr. Monroe Bailey were united in marriage. Miss Coreta Robinson and Mr. Washington Williams. Mrs. Catherine Wagner of Chicago is visiting at the home of her mother, Mrs. Anna Crutchfield. Mr. William Lewis of Davenport, Ill., is visiting indefinitely at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis. Mrs. J. C. McClelean is seriously sick at her home. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL REPORT Attorney S. Joe Brown, state chairman of the colored section of the Iowa Roosevelt Memorial association takes this method of thanking all those who have so liberally responded to the solicitors throughout the state with special thanks to those who have assisted in solociting in the campaign. A total of two hundred twenty-one members with the sum of $88.76 have been turned in by the following solicitors: Des Moines, S. Joe Brown and John L. Thompson, solicitors, report 155 members and $41.01; Sioux City, J. Wilbur Norris, solicitor reports thirty-one members and $31.00; Council Bluffs, W. C. Lyons, solicitor, reports twenty members and $8.25; Dubuque, H. W. Rose, solicitor, reports ten members and $5.50 and Ottumwa, W. S. Page, solicitor, reports five members and $3.00. Buxton, Keokuk, Davenport, Waterloo, Mason City, Clinton, Ft. Dodge, Oksaloosa, Marshalltown, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids are yet to be heard from; and if they respond as have the localities reported above we should have enrolled four or five hundred members and at least two hundred dollars from the Negro citizens of the state. Those who have not reported are tile, being a child of the desert. This represents the race's beginning or Genesis. In the Exodus, the Negro still bears his burden, but it is no longer a selfish one. It now consists of the fruit of his toil, the product of agriculture. There has also come into his life, a knowledge of the mechanical arts of which the presence of the hammer and cogwheel bear silent witness. The Apotheosis, the middle and largest panel shows what has been done through constant application and sacrifice. Three heroic figures of beautiful Negro womanhood personify Liberty, Music and Art. The presence of the lyre on the side of fine arts and of books on the side of liberal arts shows that in literature and music, the race has made its most wonderful progress. urged to do so not later than Monday, Nov. 3 as the list will be closed and sent in to national headquarters on that date soon after which each member will receive from national headquarters a certificate of membership.

While we leave the newspaper field somewhat reluctantly, yet voluntarily upon our part. We have labored long endeavoring to bring the Bystander up to its present high standard of efficiency. We are proud of the Bystander's success and its influence in the middle west. The Bystauder is the oldest colored journal west of the Mississippi that has never missed an issue.

Thanking our many friend who have loyally supported us in making the Bystander the power she is, for many many have said that we took the Bystander because you admired the struggle that you were making to be a good and useful citizen. Again thanking each and every one that has contributed to our success thus far and humbly begging your continued confidence, aid and support in my new field of endeavor, where I may, to some little degree, be able to continue to serve you and now may right, truth, justice and the blessings of God rest upon us all. I will not say farewell, but simply goodbye. "WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING?" One sometimes in these unsettled conditions of the world wonder "whither are we drifting?" Is this world getting weaker and wiser, certainly it is getting weaker and instead of getting wiser it is getting more insane and more inflamed and it does seem as though the whole fabric of higher civilization is warring among their own culture; with bolshevism in Russia, with the Irish revolution in Ireland, with the labor trouble in England, with the I. W. W. labor union strikes and race riots in America, with the Mexico bandits in revolution has all operated to set this old world on fire and the most profound of us cannot tell where it will end. It does seem that our government is entering upon a sandy foundation and may soon crumble because our government is not honest with her constituents. She does not give justice and square deal with her black people. She does not treat the laboring man with the same consideration as she does the capitalist. The seeds of wrongs and injustice, hardship and segregations discriminations that she sows, she will some day reap the bitter harvest as other countries and nations have done before us. If this government shall live and not perish from the earth she must give to all of her subjects, white or black, rich or poor, Greek or Jew, male or female, perfect justice and equal opportunity to the human family. Then and then only will peace harmony and brotherly loves come to our land. ten streets, founded by Mrs. Annie M. What Some of the Subscribers Say. Below we print brief extracts from some of our leading and influential race leaders in every branch of industry: Seattle, Wash., Oct. 13, 1919 My dear Mr. Thompson since coming to the Pacific coast some few months ago I must send a few lines to our home paper in regards to the conditions on the west coast—first I am proud to say that I find many doors of opportunity open to our people which are not open in other states. We have a population of about 4,500 colored people in this city and twenty-four in the mail service and seven on the police force and we have colored men in other business all kinds and all are very prosperous. The city council has for sometime tried to organize a colored team on the fire department but have failed on the account of our people would not except because they did not want a separate team, but what a mistake. How will we ever get an officer on that department unless we have a separate team. Chances for Business.
