Ianapolis, Indiana, Moh 1.—The invasion Lincoln was the first great American to deal just with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advancement as full fledged American citizens. In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored brother when he stood for a square deal to all regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington put him even though the whole country put him a howl but now he has been taken from our midst. God in his wise providence, however, has not left without a champion. He has raised up General Wood, the greatest living American to lead his people. You know we need never be disheartened for we are God's children. Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League saying, "To all blacks, we are all blacks and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than you Colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation. We should have a free and untrammeled United States." Not since the days of Lincoln have such words have been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us such words have been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and can candidate for president who does not publicly state his position on the race question cannot expect the Colored vote. General Wood will be the next great republican leader if two millions of colored voters have anything to say about it. A second Teddy Follies! A second Teddy! We have to teach Teddy! A man or woman twenty-one years old can organize a local Wood Club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Indiana, for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for the Colored men and women to teach Wood that they want a man for President who will give every American black or white a square deal.

Will Build Negro Hotel Philadelphia, Pa.—To provide more adequate accommodations for the increasing number of Colored visitors to this city, a number of Colored professional and business men have applied for a charter for a corporation that will establish a first class hotel for Colored business men, with the purpose of covering Broad and Catherine Streets. Heading the project is Edward Dales, a wealthy business man, who operates the Dale Hotel, in Cape May, John A, Sparks, is solicitor for the new corporation, which will e known as the Hotel Dale Company. The site for the projected hostelry consists of the Graham Apartments, an old former corner of the Post and Catherine Streets, the Boys Club Building, adjoining on Broad street. As a temporary arrangement, these buildings will shortly be converted into a hotel covering a site 93 feet on Broad street by 130 feet on Catherine street. The price paid for the ground and the cost of the improvements will represent an outlay of about $135,000. The hotel will be opened in time to receive delegates for the annual convention of the National Business Men's League, which will be held in this city in the week beginning August 21 and will be attended by delegates from every part of the United States. It is proposed to hold the convention in a large and handsomely appointed hall, which will be one of the principal features of the new hotel. The building of the two present buildings is, however, only a temporary arrangement, the main object of the new corporation being the creation of a handsome permanent hotel building costing about $200,000.

If we are not absolutely trustworthy in our judgment as to the kind of leaders we need we certainly do know better than we used to know the character of men we ought to be willing to follow. We have stapped accepting every Tom Dick and Harry who steps out and poses and goes hither and thither as a race leader.2 Grit and gab alone do not satisfy us, brass and brass and verbosity.

Williams, 110 Story building. With a plan for a five room, T-shaped structure with the crossbar running the length of the lot and the stem placed across it. The crossbar is 21 feet by 6 inches by 15 feet, with a fireplace at the far end, forms the stem, with a dining room, 12 by 11, and an enclosed porch, 9 by 11, re-inforcing it in the rear. The crossbar is made up of a bedroom, 11 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, with a closet, a short hallway with linen closet and bath garage cutting into one corner of it backed up by a chicken yard at the rear of the room. To one who does so as to afford a pleasant view from the porch is a long expanse of lawn set off by a hedge and a tiny cemented pool with a semi-circular seat. The competition was open to architects of California and Arizona. Four prizes of $300, $15, $100 and $50 were awarded to be located on a suburban lot 150 by 50 set back at least 35 feet from the building line. The $5,000 cost necessarily had to include expense of heating, plumbing, electric wiring and painting. The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. I. M. Jones, will doubtless be surprised to learn that he passed away at his hotel 208 3rd street yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock, from the effects of a liver complaint from which he has suffered at various times for the illness. He took his bed permanently until about two weeks ago, when he was taken to Mercy hospital but being found too weak to survive an operation was returned to his hotel last Friday. The deceased was a native of the state of Alabama where his mother and immediate relatives aside from his widow still reside. He was a miner and migrated to Pittsburgh, Kansas where he married Addie Sanders who survives him. He came to Iowa in 1896 and two years later was appointed a member of the Des Moines Police Department by Mayor John McVicar. After retiring from the department in the spring of 1901 he engaged in the restaurant and rooming house business and recently opened a temp bar on East 2nd and West 2nd streets. He was a business of a professional bondman and has accumulated considerable wealth owning a new modern home and several tenement houses in East Des Moines. In addition to his political activities he was prominent in fraternal circles, being a member of Doric Lodge, A. F. & A M. and Charity Lodge of G. U. O. or U. O. of which later fraternity he was Pastor of the University. The funeral services will be held at Corinthian Baptist church, Sunday at 2:30 p. m. in charge of Doric Lodge A. F. & A M. Rev. T. L. Griffith, a former pastor officiating. Vesper services are held every Sunday at 4:30 p. m. at the Tenth street Center. The second of these vesper services was held Sunday Feb. 29. The pleasant reception room was filled to overflowing. There were sixty-eight present and several were turned away. The Educational committee of which the Vesper girls are charged a charge of a very excellent program after which a social hour was enjoyed. It is indeed very gratifying to note the keen interest that is being taken in this part of the work. The Social committee will have charge of the vespers this Sunday. Come early and bring a friend.

A massmeeting of upward to 1,200 N. A. C. P. assembled in the main auditorium of St. Paul's A. M. E. church to register a protest against such action. However, from two letters from the board of education and from the city superintendent, it was found out that the rumor did not originate from those sources. Further investigation brought out the fact that Miss Pearl De Jarrett, school attendance officer, had been expressing herself very freely in favor of separate schools for colored children in Des Moines. It was decided that this expression gave rise to the rumor. It was also reported that Negro children were given orders to on a certain side of the playground at Franklin school. Resolutions were drawn condemning separation of Negro children either on the playground or in the schoolrooms. In these resolutions the school board was requested to see to it that Miss De Jarnett decist from advocating separate schools or suffer dismissal from the services. There has been a tendency coming from some of our Negro citizens who claim to know the needs of the race, to discuss the merits of a separate school. Let it be known to these wise ones forever hereafter, that the Negro citizens of Des Moines do not want separate school and will tolerate for separate schools not tolerate at such advocacy from either white or colored citi- The remarks by Miss De Jarnett followed by the actions of the teachers of Franklin school is evident proof that some member of this crowd has a cloven foot. The Negroes of Des Moines will do well to keep abreast of these actions and watch as well as pray. UNITY Three hundred years ago a few settlers were scattered along the Atlantic coast, each family intent upon making the most of the opportunities that the new country offered. Through toil and good management many were prosperous, and quite content in this newfound freedom. While they were enjoying themselves the Indians decided it was time to show the new people to whom this country belonged. They organized themselves and began war on the settlers. At first the settlers armed themselves and were ready to defend individual attacks, but they soon learned that to be a match for their enemy they must unite for a common defense. So old eunity and religious differences were forgotten and all united to fight a common foe. Through their united effort the Indians were vanquished. This experience with the Indians prepared the colonist to take the only stand that manly men could have taken when England refused to give them their rights. True they were discouraged but when Franklin published the snake cut in pieces, bearing the inscription unite or die, the colonists were ready thinking along the lines of unity; the final out come of this unity was the birth of this great republic. If one were to mention all the things that have been achieved through unity a book would soon be filled, but it is not only purpose here to present such a book. I cannot but mention the achievement of the United Nations in the war just closed. We must admit that each nation in itself was a great power yet it took their united effort to conquer the enemy. Never before have nations offered up their sons on the Altar of war with no thought of their own aggrandizement, but for humanity sake, to prevent the triumph of a strong nation over the world. Had we not international differences to stand between their unity, Germany most certainly would have conquered each nation in her turn and the world would eventually passed into the hands of German rulers. Every age produces its own peculiar characterists, every epoch is marked by its own peculiar happenings, written upon the annals of time standing out in bold relief we see a record of what man his done the rise and fall of nations that have existed. In this great and wonderful age to be living in is a privilege which each individual should appreciate with keen sense or love and honor. It is our duty to ourselves and our posterity to leave a worth while record when we have passed to the great beyond. We have made marked progress religiously intellectually, morally and financially in these there is still room for improvement but what we need most is to test and prove the law of unity. There should be unity of purpose and action all selfishness must be avoided each must work for the common good of all. When we realize that no chain is stronger than its weakest link and the strength of a nation, race, tribe community or family depends upon its bond of unity. We will accomplish much religiously, financially, intellectually morally and politically. For Sale Splendid Home, Small Price. Strictly Modern.

JOE BROWN 515 Mulberry St. or Call W. 1181 515 Mnlberry St. or Call W. 1181 TO THE EDITOR THE BYSTANDER Dear Sir,—Will you permit me space in your columns for a few words to inquire who feel their calling to be preach. I begin by saying it is a great profession. Doubly authentic the doctrine of a call to preach" goes back to Samuel. Something fascinates us in the thought that the vision of one who would speak to men of things beyond the grave must own Hannah's dictation of her long deferred hope, "If Thou wilt give unto thy handmaid, a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life," has ever been the pattern thought for mothers of ministers. The fact of a man's choice of the ministry casts its shadow backward into his myth-making childhood there stands erect and looming large a figure of his mother. He can give no explanation of it, and it is no more than probable that Hannah, too, is void of clear recollection about it. But there she remains, standing in the harbor of life, where the fogs blow in from endless spaces, where all is involved in veil-like and filmy beginnings, where nothing can be seen distinctly except the rich confusion and grayness of primeval choices. From that vantage ground she appears, in retrospect, to have been the figure of liberty and responsibility which decided the destiny of her son. Every prophet who has the spirit of a profit will point back to his mother-idean, and it has received the tribute biography from the time of Samuel to that of St. Augustine, even to Ian MacLaren's story "His Mother's Sermon." The persistence with which the ministry points back to motherhood, the insistence that some spiritual influence above and beyond the individual's experience and knowledge should explain his calling, is not merely an individual matter, but is justified, even compelled, by the religious conscience of mankind. The cry is still strong that motherhood should be the channel of divinity. As the mystery of birth seems to be the only one which must forever defy full analysis and explanation, mankind, mankind logically lodges its thought of God, when driven to pay, in the same enfolding mystery without for a moment thinking of any suggestion of miraculous fact, is the true race always has and always will go back to motherhood for its assurances of safety, and insinuch as the ministry in both ancient and modern days is set to preclaim the safety of our eternal values, it will hardly be allowed to give up the mother idea. The Hannah Samuel theory of the ministry satisfies a craving of the religious conscience of humanity, although it may be sentimentally, and the whole conception has much to justify it. This is especially true if our common claim is right that the ministry is the highest and greatest of all professions. If there is doubt as to this heretofore acknowledged or assumed fact it still remains true that the world in general desires to think thus of the ministry and is loath to grant that there has come a disillusion, or that the high post has been vacated.—Rev, J. E. Roberts. WESTERN RAMBLER Des Moines, Iowa, March 1.—Dear Editor: It "has been several weeks since you have heard from the rambler, though he has been rambling. My last writing was after I had entered the "Sun Flower State" Kansas, I have visited that state several times, but it seemed I could not get hold of the state. By my recent visit through the state was very satisfactorily. I visited Emporia, Newton, Hutchinson, Coffeyville, Independence, Parsons, Winfield, Arkansas City, Ottawa, Oswatatomie and Garnett. All these places showed a willingness to co-operate to help put the big program through for mission and Christian education. I desire to speak of the work separately, but for fear my rambling has been too extensive to give me a sense of what should, hence I shall briefly refer to it. The village is a very neat little city, and the colored people seem to be on a progressive march. Calvary Baptist t church called Rev. A. W. Ross, formerly pastor at Fulton, Mo., and a graduate of Western college. Rev. Ross seems to be the right man in the right place. Since taking charge of the church at Coffeyville, he his people and friends have done a wonderful work. They have a splendid foundation for a fine structure. They are now worshipping in the basement. Since August they have raised ten thousand dollars. He has done something there not often done among our people. He united two Baptist churches and I have not seen a band of Baptists anywhere that seem to be more united than the members of Calvary Baptist church. Rev. P. D. Skinner, pastor of the First Sister Bantist church has been there several years and from what I could see, is doing a good work. He is a strong gospel preacher and stands solidly for the doctrine of the New Testament scriptures. I lectured at both of these churches and the people seemed to enjoy them. I did not set to visit the St. John Baptist church, but the pastor extended me an invitation whenever I visit there again. The church at Hutchinson has made a wonderful progress in four years, under that bold and fearless leader, Rev. J. E. Allen. There they had made special arrangements for my coming; special music which if there was in talk in a person it would be forced out of him. This church gave the largest sum of money in Kansas. $25. Ottawa is another beautiful little city where there are not many of our people. There is another Bantist church which has made a wonderful change and progress in the past four years. The CHR BYSTANDER All mail, paper or other articles to be sent to the Bystander office should be forwarded to the Bystander Company, 201 Chemical Bldg., Des Moines, Ia. and not John L. Thompson, editor who has recently sold the paper and is no longer connected with same. His address is 202 Watrous Bldg., Des Moines, Iowa. If attention is given this notice it will save a great deal of confusion with mail. pastor, Rev. S. A. Williams has done a very creditable work. The church has been remodeled and beautified that it does not look like the same house. It is said. He is baptising more of the Methodist members than any pastor ever done in Ottawa. The epidemic caused the ban to be placed on in several cities, which stopped my itinerary. I was shut out of Lawrence, Topeka, Atchison and Leavenworth. My next rambling will be through Iowa and Illinois. Remember the ram The Daddies and lads program and sermon at Pilgrim Rest Baptist church last week were two memorial occasions. The pastor, Rev. J. Sterling Moore spared no pains in making both events 100 percent, Mrs. Carrie Smith had charge of the program. The essays and readings by Miss Thelma Walker, Thelma Seals, Pearl Roach and Mrs. Edna Alberts were splendidly prepared and juts as well rendered. The sentimental music was furnished by Misses Ruth Johnson and Verlice South the organizers from Bethel and Pilgrim Rest Church. They both as well acquitted themselves nicely.

Some of the progressive prominent club-women of Des Moines have expressed a desire for a City Federation. This is indeed a movement in the right direction and has very hearty approval. Through an organization of this kind prominent speakers may be presented to all club women bringing to them messages dealing with all the leading topics of the day which otherwise they are denied. Again women from all clubs meet, exchange ideas helpful suggestions consult together upon plans for the betterment of the community of which they are a part. Many plans are constructed this co-operation. Unquestionable value that would not be revealed with out will be gained Many women who for various reasons have not affiliated with a club may find a place in this body and no doubt may find the kind of work they enjoy and where they may be useful. Although one may be active in a literary, or art club, yet they may desire KEOKUK ITEMS to engage in philanthropic work Through an organization of this kind better work, more systematic work, may be accomplished, where the work is under the supervision of a committee who are giving their time to that special line of work Again all women of the city may become acquainted meeting at stated times, with the good of the entire community at heart, crates a spirit of Christian fellowship that should be a part of every club woman. I hope those launching this movement may have the support of all interested women. In these days of progress every step toward gets us nearer the goal for which we are striving. If not in accordance with the wishes of some do not show an antagonistic spirit, watch the project, you may soon catch the enthusiastic spirit and find place in the Organization. There is no law prohibiting a city federation as a fixed body, at all times. Article 4 Section one of the Constitution refers to meetings preceding our annual meeting. I am hoping that this plan is realized officers and heads of departments and committees may be selected promiscuously that it may be a real City Federation—Martha F. White, state president.
