He was in apparent good health and his sudden death comes as a shock to the entire country. Dr. Cabaniss was one of the first graduates of the Howard university medical school and one of the country's leading physician for many years. He was also one of the first presidents of the National Negro Medical association. When the officers training camp was established for the colored officers at Ft. Des Moines, Dr. Cabaniss was appointed assistant secretary of the first army Y. M. C. A. established for colored men. Later he was secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Meade, where he remained until the close of the war. His work during the entire period of the war was uniring and very effective. Dr. Cabaniss made many friends in this city while he was stationed at Ft. Des Moines, who will be greatly shocked to hear of his sudden death. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1920. M. S. S.

Besides these two stars of the track, entries are coming in from all over and the affair should turn out to be one of the most successful of its kind. Aside from the object in staging this athletic carnival, support should be forthcoming from all quarters as an attempt will be made to bring together the best that we have from all over the United States Since the days of the Smart Set club of Brooklyn we have not had a meet of the kind planned and those who will remember those banner affairs cannot afford to miss the biggest of coming events in the world of athletic endeavor as all the best to be had in the way of athletes throughout the U. S. A. will participate. Many of the boys who starred in the land of France in many athletic events, from hurdle racing to "Hun chasing" will be on hand to demonstrate their ability to do things big and little. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION CREATES JOBS FOR NEGRO HELP IN THE NORTH Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—That the labor situation is again becoming acute, and that there will be a further draft upon Southern negro labor by the large industrial concerns located in the North, is indicated by the statistics, on file at the bureau of immigration, which according to the daily press reveal the startling fact that this year there will be 100,000 or more foreigners departing from than arriving on the hospitable shores of the United States, and that it is principally those who are now engaged in manual labor who are taking their departure. On account of this condition, it is thought that the fear of Negro domination in certain sections of the country will soon be a thing of the past, because it is inconceivable that the Northern manufacturers will bank their fires while there is a world-wide demand for their products. It is thought by those who have studied the problem that if the Northern employers would systematically draw their supply of labor from each of the 264 counties which Cast Your JOHN W For City C MR.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 9. —As I have been a constant reader of your splendid paper for over a year I would like to submit to you the following statement which I hope you will find space in your paper to print. I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all over the country which on the whole expressed this sentiment, "I am not partied in interest in who the nominee of the Republican party may be or what his vocation may be if he is right on the question affecting my race and the business of this country he is my candidate." I am in complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the race question, I would be a traitor if I were not, and I, also, believe that the candidate of the Republican party muts be an out and out American concerned primarily with the business of this country like Lincoln of old and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the statement that it matters not his name (the candidate's) may be; because, first this statement means nothing but evasion of the issue and savors of the usual issue and savors of the usual political pussyfooting, and secondly because back of a candidate's name is the man and his record both of which can be studied. One hundred and twenty-three editors have fearlessly chanced General Wood as the Champion of the Square Dance. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the present utterances, and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on leading only where there is darkness? I think the colored people of the United States are entitled to know that General Wood is right on our question, that he is the only candidate up to date to openly champion the cause of every American white or black who is in trouble and it does matter to two million colored voters what the candidate's name is for president of the greatest Democracy in the world. Editor Bystander: Since the primary election at which we are to select a candidate for mayor and councilman is to be held next Monday and because of my being compelled to be out of the city during these last three days of the campaign when voters are really making up their minds whom they will support, I am requesting the privilege of saying a word through the columns of your valuable paper concerning the three candidates for mayor. They are Ernest Quick, a young bricklayer who says he is twenty-eight years of age and who was a candidate a few years ago for the same office and in his campaign speeches made a bid for the liberal vote by ridiculing the churches and church people, but got ill. Another is H. H. Barton, a contractor in University place, who has been a candidate for county treasurer but failed to secure the nomination and has been little heard of since. The third Mr. John Gibson, formerly of the Gibson Coal company but at present president of the Iowa Auto and Supply company is to my mind the candidate of mayor who should appeal to the Negro voter not only because he is a prominent businessman and will in all probabilities be nominated and elected; but also because he knows Negroes has been associated with them both as a miner and an employer of miners and other help. I have been associated with him in a business way and have also served with him on political and civic committees and have always received from him the same courteous treatment as have the men of his own race. Mr. Gibson has had experience as a member of the council of Des Moines and I believe that if elected he will not only give our city a clean business administration; but will also treat the members of our race with the same fairness and courtesy that he does other citizens. To Editor of Bystander: Permit me to offer a few more thoughts on this most importion on those men who feel their calling to preach." A democrat century may shatter the pedestal on which priesthoods formerly stood, but high tablelands of idealism and service are as dear to our rough-and-tumble age as to any age before us. It will be the ministry's own fault if these upper levels are deserted by him as a profession, and his own fault if men's eyes look in vain for centinels on the lofty battlements of truth and hope and prophecy. In desiring to behold her watchman there, humanity is simply expressing its deepest and sometimes agonizing cry that true motherhood and Godhood shall be forever connected and that neither shall fail from among men. Individually, every minister's charter and license to preach goes back to this same source and matrix, and thus he receives his first ordination. It comes from the hands of universal humanity, not from sect or bishop or local church. The wisdom of mankind's instinct in thus choosing her own prophets is apparent at once. By prior claim she demands, that their message be as universal as motherhood instead of being local or sectarian. Here is the only charter by which a man is allowed to preach, and if he has any narrower charter the world, large or small, will not really license him for his message. The hands of some Hannah on some Samuel's head takes pre- All mail, papers or other articles to be sent to the Bystander office should be addressed to the Bystander Publishing Company, 201 Chemical Bldg., Des Moines, IA, and not to John L.

Its greatness, however, is not personal but a delegated and dedicated greatness, and wrote the prophet who claims anything else. The first mark of supremacy in the ministerial calling is a beautiful combination or harmony between the personal and the delegated aspect of the clerical life. This hall-mark lies in the magic phrase, fulfillment of youthful ideals. To no man under the sun is it given as to the minister to have a continual consciousness of doing when a man exactly what he always wanted to do when a boy. In the plodding years of his ordinary novitate in preaching. In the days when he hardened, when he had a fiery airy and vapid nothing of fragments of eternal truth he it still able to remind himself that it was this he longed to do and nothing else. Sometimes on a weary Sunday morning, when he beholds a half-filled instead of a "packed church," the thought will even then --- --- How to Save Money On Your Long Distance Calls This advertisement is intended to explain the different classes of long distance telephone service and how they be used to the best advantage.

How to Place a Station-to-Station Call When using station-to-station service you should give long distance operator the name and address of the bus or the individual with whose telephone you desire connect.

Care should be taken to make it clear the long distance operator that you do not want to talk particular person or persons at the telephone called as in case it would be a person-to-person call and you would charged a higher rate. By the very nature of your requirements for long tance telephoning, no doubt a great many of your bus and social calls permit the use of station-to-station service.

The charge on a station-to-station call cannot be reversed; that is, it cannot be charged to the telephone called. This is how you would place a call with the long distance operator on a station-to-station message: After giving your own telephone number and name, say, for example, "I want to talk to John Brown's residence at Blue Springs, Iowa," or "I want to talk to George Anderson's store at Burchard, Iowa." Care should be taken to make it clear to the long distance operator that you do not want to talk to a particular person or persons at the telephone called as in that case it would be a person-to-person call and you would be charged a higher rate.

This of service is not only more expensive but naturally less than station-to-station service. If you desire person-to-person service at a part-time, and wish to make an appointment to talk at a time, the appointment rate will apply. If you wish to talk to a person who does not have a phone and for whom a messenger must be sent, the message call rate will apply. If you ask to talk to a particular person or persons over long distance, you will be using person-to-person service. The charge for this service is about one-fourth greater than for station-to-station service because the operators may have to spend considerably more time and hold the wires ready while they make an effort to locate the particular party.

If you desire person-to-person service at a particular hour, and wish to make an appointment to talk at a given time, the appointment rate will apply. If you wish to talk to a person who does not have a telephone and for whom a messenger must be sent, the messenger call rate will apply.

In later periods when the ministry to a special community becomes a treasured pet of millery duties, of insignificant appearances at committees," just in order to show his interest when the level of his high calling sinks only down to but apparently below that of the life about him, even then there will sometimes sweep over him the salt-sea air of the old tital wave and he will recall that once in the mythica and dim beginnings of his choice his real desire was just to liv a human life, just to touch, with a differing touch from other men, the usual interests of humanity as they one by one in annoying detail show their heads above the surface. Somehow he will remember that in the petty round he is after all doing what he once dreamed of doing, just being a man; a man with no one interest lording it over another, but with a touch of divine light for interest, one to whom it has been given to accomplish little that is definite, but who wastes of organization and detail.—Rey, J.

Alford, preached two soul-stirring sermons to large crowds both morning and evening. After a thirty days struggle we succeeded by the help of God in raising more money than in any other such short time in the history of the church.
