THE BYSTANDER To Sing at White Sparrow Sunday Nov. 23rd 1905 Boost Pay and read The Bystander XXVI No.22 American Legion Passes The Buck Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 21.—The American Legion an organization representing the veterans who fought in the great world war, slipped a cog in its wheel of progress when the eligibility committee recommended that eligibility of members be left to the various states instead of to the national committee. It is plain to be seen that this attitude which the "bar-up" against the thousands of colored veterans throughout the south who were valiant in the service of the country during the war. This subject was one of the many questions before the American legion and was left for final decision from the Springfield meeting during the summer. In practically every southern state, there has been a determination to refuse charters to colored posts which of course, is in line with southern policy, but out of harmony with the times and the true American spirit of justice and fair-play. Prior to the convention a number of delegates were in conference in Chicago with Capt. Lewis E. Johnson, formerly of the 370 infantry and others. The men brought written statements from southern states stating that the American Legion was for Caucasians only. Very naturally, the colored veterans throughout the country in conjunction with the thousand splendid white veterans are greatly indignant at any camouflage effort to smear over the subject and keep out of the American Legion, thousands or more who willingly left their homes and business and work, to go to France and fight for democracy, while thousands of white southerners used every means within and without the law to keep them out of the service. The records bear out the fact that the colored people of the south as well as in many other sections of the country, furnished more than their quota of service men. This attitude will undoubtedly pre- To Sing at W MISSES ETHEL BOWMER, AUROR MASON, EMMETT BURGER, L. UNREST AMONG COLORED PEOPLE The Advocate Portland, Ore.: The question of why so much unrest among the colored people of this country is answered in part by the San Francisco Call (white) which says: "The current unrest among American Negroes is blamed, like so many other things, on 'agitators.' Such is the report from Washington. "The truth is that the Negro soldiers went into the war determined to make a record for their race which the white race would have to respect and that they have been disappointed. "That accounts for some 'unrest.' Another source of 'trouble' is the improvement in the Negro's economic position. Thousands of them have migrated into northern cities, and those who have stayed in their old homes have discovered that they are peculiarly necessary to their white neighbors. Without the Negro, agriculture in many parts of the south would be in a bad way." cipitate a fight to the finish by the younger citizens who are determined that justice shall prevail.—Negro Associated Press. ROBT. R. CHURCH, THANKS IOWA ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL COMMITTEE Attorney S. Joe Brown, chairman of the Iowa Roosevelt memorial committee makes public the following letter of appreciation from Hon. R. R. Church, colored member of the national committee, to wit: Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 11, 1919. Mr. S. Joe Brown, Attorney, Des Moines, Iowa. My Dear Mr. Brown: At the close of the Roosevelt memorial campaign, allow me to thank you, both for myself and the members of the national Roosevelt committee for the fine work that you have done as chairman of your state. Also please convey to each member of your state committee the gratitude of the national committee for the interest shown and the work done. What we have done will bear fruit for many years. Our place in the esteem of the real men of America is higher because of our efforts towards perpetuating the memory of what history will call the first American. Again I thank you and beg to say that whenever I can serve you call on me. With warmest personal best wishes, I am. The state chairman also desires to acknowledge the receipt of the following since last report: Buxton, $3; Davenport branch N. A. A. C. P., $5.00. CHICAGO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Chicago, Nov. 21.—Chicago has unquestionably, set the pace for the nation in the establishment of a Business League that means business. The inaugural ceremonies of the league officers will take place Sunday, Nov. 23, in the auditorium of Wendell Phillips High school. It will be a city wide event. Last Sunday, "Four minute men" members of the league, were in all the churches and theaters making White Sparrow Sund PROF. N. CLARK SMITH A BROOKS, MESDAMES V. L. JONE S, J. SHELTON AND E. K. KNOX. "Discovering this for the first time, the black man has gained in self-respect and lost some of the humility that the whites like. He has become independent, he talks back, and he even chafes at taking the rear seats in the street cars. The white are as determined as ever to keep him down. The result is discontent on the Negro's part and irritation on the white man's. No agitators are needed to make such a situation dangerous and difficult." Who can blame the man of color for demanding his rights guaranteed him under the constitution? The Call could have truthfully added that the south has become more peeved with the Negro because of such a brilliant record made in the war; because he proved those to be liars who asserted that he was "yellow" and would not fight; and the south, and the rest of the country for that matter, will continue to be "sore" on him until the cold fact is realized that the spirit of manhood can not be crushed from the human breast DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, NOV. 21, 1919. Colored Man Manufactures Printers Ink Paul Simmons of Indianapolis Only Colored Man in the Country in the Business—Sells to Big White Publishing Firms. The Review man stumbled on a rather rare find the other day by way of a colored man who makes printer's ink for the trade. It is thought that he is the only person in the state of Indiana in the business, and the only colored person in the country. The quality of his ink is not questioned, since he sells to large white printing companies of this city. Mr. Simomns also makes writing ink, but he does not seem to care for that end of the business. He says that he has dabbled in chemistry the better part of his life, and in doing so discovered the very difficult process of making a good saleable ink for printing newspapers and so forth. He will soon make an effort to get in touch with all the colored publishing houses of the country, hoping to interest them in his product. From all indications he has a great future before him. His genius has well nigh made for him a sort of monopoly. announcement of the event. The city is enthusiastic over the program of the Business League, and a campaign to enroll 1,000 members in ten days following the inauguration, has already been sent off with a starter of 300 men. The slogan of the league is "Unity, Progress and Success." Throughout the country there is unequalled activity in the formation of business organizations. Washington, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and several other cities have recently organized, and it is stated that dozens of other cities, including New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Dallas, Baltimore, and other communities will bestir themselves.-Negro Associated Press. ay Nov. 23rd CARROLL E·CURTLEY C. B. WOODS, MESSRS. G. H. by persecution. That fact was, established before the Christian era, and it is no less true today. The lynching of one of the colored race only strengthens the determination of 12,000,000 people that it shall be stamped out, regardless of cost or sacrifice, and regardless of the assistance of a negligible quantity by a government exacting so much from them, which was gladly and freely given for its protection and the protection for the rest of the world. Only a Cold. Are you ill? is often answered—"Oh! it's only a cold," as if a cold was a matter of little consequence, but people are beginning to learn that a common cold is a matter not to be trifled with, that some of the most serious diseases start with a cold. As soon as the first indication of a cold appears take Chambplain's Cough Remedy. Remember that the sooner you get rid of your cold the less the danger, and this remedy will help you to throw it off. Disabled Soldiers At Tuskegee A NEW FEATURE IN THE SCHOOL WORK Some fifty disabled colored soldiers from overseas who are taking agriculture, truck gardening, poultry raising and such other vocational subjects adapted to their physical conditions are at a Tuskegee institute. This is a new feature of the school's work growing out of the war with Germany. The problem of handling these disabled soldiers is in the hands of Captain Charles G. Kelly of the 366th infantry, who is special field agent for the federal board of vocational education for Negro soldiers. JC MORTON- NORTH HIGH. Des Moines and the state of Iowa is justly proud of its colored football players. The work of Curtis Morton, North High's star player, has attracted state wide attention Saturday he demonstrated his greatness as a football player in the annual contest between North and West High, by making 4 out of the 5 touchdowns credited to North High Morton was taken out of the game in the third quarter, but North High was forced to put him back in the fourth quarter in order to score. All who saw the game conceded the fact that "curt" was the whole game. TEACHERS MEETING. The annual meeting of the Missouri State Teachers association held in St. Louis, Nov. 6-8, was one of the most successful held in the history of the association. A large delegation of teachers from all over the state were in attendance besides the leading educators of our own race, several whites of both state and national representation addressed the colored teachers. Among them were State-Superintendent Baker, Superintendent John W. Withers, St. Louis, and Jane Addams Hull House, Chicago. The following officers were elected for this year: President C. G. Williams, Booneville; Vice President, Frank L. Williams, St. Louis; Secretary, A. C. Madlin, Hannibal; Treasurer, R. H. Cole, St. Louis, and Statistician, Virgil E. Williams, Jefferson City. Sick Headache. This distressing disease results from a disordered condition of the stomach and can be relieved by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. A Good Cough Medicine for Children Mrs. J. W. Phillips, Redon, Ga, phoned to J. M. Floyd, the merchant there, for a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and said she had bought a bottle of $^4$ at his store recently and that it was doing her children so much good that she wanted to keep up the treatment. You will find nothing better for coughs and colds in children or for yourself. It keeps the cough loose, ex- pectoration easy and soon frees the sys- tem fro mthe cold. Adv. SENDS OUT APPEAL. (Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president Nat- ional Association of Colored women who appeared before the world's Chri- stian conference in Pittsburgh, Pa., this week, send out the following appeal.) To My Associate Workers: After four months spent in service overseas, I am delighted to greet you. I am more thoroughly convinced after these months of unusual experience that colored women have before them a bigger opportunity and a bigger obligation than any other group of women in the world. Just before leaving for service overseas, I called an informal conference in New York which was attended by a number of women well known to you all. I did not want to leave America without making at least a tentative reconstruction program. You have read what was done in that conference, but I want to emphasize the fact now that, unless we get under our task, the womanhood of our race will be more than clods of clay for other races to tread upon. The restoration of Douglass home. It will require ten thousand dollars to make this historical spot one of the most beautiful meccas in the world. Colored women should undertake this part of the program as an outstanding feature of their reconstruction work. Douglass was here to work during the first reconstruction period and it is fitting that we should reclaim Cedar Heights from which he spoke in defense of his recently emancipated race. It will take the amount of ten thousand dollars to restore the house from cellar to garret, to put all of the furniture in repair and to make the fourteen acres of ground beautiful and attractive. It will be necessary to cut away the underbrush of twenty years' growth, rebuild the terraces and steps, to remodel the stables, the barns and outbuildings. When all this work has been accomplished, the estate will be as beautiful as Mount Vernon, the home of the immortal George Washington. The drive for the ten thousand dollars will begin Thanksgiving day, Nov. 27, 1919, and end on Douglass' birthday, Feb. 14, 1920.

THE BYSTANDER Chemical Bldg., Des Moines, Iowa --- Price Five Cents Police Strike Aids Race In Boston Thirty-seven Men of Color Added to Hub City Force Following Police Strike. Boston, Mass., Nov. 21.—Inorder to add the 100 per cent Americanism to its police force, this city has now placed in its patrol department thirty-seven colored members. Seven are stationed at Dudley street and five at Roxbury Crossing. It is estimated that twenty others will start on the job as soon as uniforms and other equipment can be secured. Several of the men are now in training. Fill Strikers' Place The placing of members of our race on the department was occasioned by the strike of white patrolmen who walked out at the instance of labor organizations. The city was thrown into a lawless reign when the patrolmen's strik became effective. Police commissioners refused to restore the striking policemen to their former positions and the appeal to be reinstated has been turned down by the Supreme Court. New Men Are Powerful The largest man to be added to the force stands 6 feet 5 inches in height and weighs about 240 pounds. According to instructors at the training school he is an excellent boxer and is wonderfully proportioned.—Defender. A Worth-While Habit.

THANKSGIVING. Give me today—a day of thanks; a day of grateful prayer that far out-ranks my farthest dream of gratitude; a day of days. The war has ceased and we had our share in ending it. Today we give thanks to God that out of all our lethargy of ease and comfort we did not fail to support freedom's banner. We are thankful that every one could do his bit, and if that bit so shook and shattered all our life that day's beyond can never be as days behind had been because the light of life seems gone, then we are trebly thankful because our faith assures us God will give us light and life again in worlds beyond. And hope is ours that further wars be not, if only men can learn the brotherhood of man—to cease the mad and TO CLUB WORKERS. I have forwarded to clubs of the state letters and enrollment blanks from our National President Mrs. Mary B. Tolbert, that club women assist financially in the "reconstruction program" $10 to N. A. A. C. P. and $10 to treasurer reconstruction fund. No doubt many club women will feel our inability to comply with this request in full owing to the drive for $10,000 for our student's home in Iowa City. Yet as true American citizens let us nearly as possible do something to assist in this great work. By a small contribution we show our willingness to co-operate with organized forces which exist. I feel certain that every race man and woman want a part in the work of "reconstruction." Whatever may be your attitude, instruct your secretary to write the national president. She will appreciate this kindness. If you feel you can not assist financially your letter will express the true club spirit. I am writing the national president of our obligations for this year and feel certain she will understand and heartily approve. Martha F. White, President, I. F.

Doctors and medicine did me no good. It seemed that I was beyond all hope of relief, when at last I secured a preparation that cured me sound and well. Over 10 years have passed and the attacks have not returned. I wish every one who suffers from this terrible disease would write R.P. N. Leapo, 194 Island Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisc., and ask for a bottle of the same kind of medicine which he gave me. He has generously promised to send it postpaid, free to any one who writes him." -Adv. program Tuesday, 25th at the church. The Sunshine group of girls reserves will entertain.

The spacious auditorium of the first floor was almost filled on last Sunday, about four hundred persons were in attendance upon divine worship. A large number of visitors were present. St. Paul with its large membership and following should entertain a gallery congregation also. The metropolitan church of our connection are playing to crowded houses. Church slackers are as unpopular as military slackers. Let us St. Paul members be at their post of duty at both morning and evening services. Rev. Birt used as his theme "The Temptation of Jesus," text Luke 4:1-11. Jesus was not only an atonement for sin, but an example. "Tempted in all points, etc., but yielded not. Temptations are all around, but one of the most common and ungodly, is the crown held out by satan to those who are ambitious for leadership, every principle of honor and justice is sacrificed by those who yield to his satanic majesty. At the evening service he spoke on "The Vision of John." Five united with the church. Thanksgiving Sunday the theme will be: "A Song of Thanksgiving." Psalms 136. Special music.

The Mountain Climbers held a business meeting Tuesday evening at the parsonage. The sick are improvining. Members are requested to visit the shut-ins. The great big idea in the presentation of popular health articles, is to get individuals to look at health as an asset and upon disease as a liability. One is cash and capital the other is debt and bankruptcy. After the count is analyzed it is found that the look at health as an asset and upon disease as a liability. One is cash and capital the other is debt and bankruptcy. After the count is analyzed it is found that the wealth of a nation or race lies in its manpower, whether that be male or female. It 13 the producer, the one who is able to stand the stress and strain, the worker upon whom we rely and upon whom the burdens must fall. Wealth, as represented by materials, no indication of a peoples stability, nor power. Goldsmith put it tersely and beautifully: "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates. It is to keep men and women up to the highest point of physical efficiency to rear the children wisely in order that they escape various ills that so many movements are on foot to teach people the correct way to live and guide the lives of others. The Bystander years ago took a forward step in this matter and established a bureau of information for babies especially. Every baby twenty-four hours old is worth $100.00 to the government; by the time he or she is twenty-one that value has been multiplied exactly thirty-five times. That is the reason for the city doctors, nurses, United States and municipal boards of health. The hardest proposition is to get the truth to perculate through the different strata of society down to the very poor and very ignorant. Not that poverty implies ignorance, nor that the ability to attract the nimble dollar means much intelligence; the fact is that there is a vast crowd of ignorant people who cling to old ideas with the same avidity that a philosopher does to an established truth. It goes without saying that there are several ways of knowing things. There is the intellectual acknowledgement of ASPIRIN-A Talk Take Aspirin only as told by "Bayer" Younker Brothers Women's Union Suits Kind Sold Regularly at 1.25--Special at 95c Warm, Winter weight union suits in the low neck, sleeveless and Dutch neck, elbow sleeve style.

The name "Bayer" means genuine Aspirin proved safe by millions of people. In each unbroken package of "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" you are told how to safely take this genuine Aspirin for Colds, Headache, Tooth- facts, with no pretense of making practical application; then there is the practical knowledge with no reason of application or again there is the hodge-podge throwing of facts into ones head but not being able to draw from the cluttered mass the useful. The aim in this column will be to set forth well tried procedures, definite facts and well established formulas for the guidance of readers. It will be the truth that is aimed at. Always facts to save money and worry, to help, not confuse. The truth should not only make us happy but should free us from the errors of the past. The world is a place for well people, for healthy minds and clean bodies. God does not visit plagues and pestilence; ache, Earache, Neuralgia, Lumbage, Rheumatism, Neuritis and Pain generally. Always say "Bayer" when buying Aspirin. Then look for the safety "Bayer Cross" on the package and on the tablets. Handy tin boxes of twelve tablets cost but a few cents. Druggists also sell larger packages. we invite and pursue misery and death. God gives us health, happiness and life. While no one is possessed of all wisdom of His ways, it is a truth that our ignorance and disobedience are the cause of most misery and sickness and death. In order to get most out of life for ourselves and those to come after we must look upon health as a priceless boon and cherish it. We must look upon the economic side if the aesthetic aspect does not appeal to us. Perhaps it is to the mothers with babies that most appeal can be made since all babies in arm are men and women upon whom we will depend for the perpetion of the race and nation. Every baby is worth $100.00. Vacant Lots and Improved Property 1827 Jefferson Ave. Phone Drake 774 Des Moines, Iowa JAMES B.
