I am willingto accept the decision of the voters at the coming election as to the kind of service I have rendered. This much I believe I have a right to ask, and even to insist that it be done. No man should go to the polls without putting forth an honest effort to inform himself as to the issues involved and the records of the men who are asking his vote. I therefore ask only that you learn the facts of the case and vote your honest judgement. JOHN W. BUDD. Candidate for re-election as councilman. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1920. Rev. R. P.

Indianapolis, Indiana, March 23.—Among the rank and file of people the question is being asked: "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood? He is right on the Race question—as was said in the motion made before the colored voters in Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Atty Tidrington, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Phthias, and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robt. L. Brokenburr, "We the colored voters of Indiana are for General Wood first, last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 90% American citizens, the American Newspapers." Mr. Tidrington headed the delegation from Indiana to the Lincoln League and was one of those present who had had a chance to compare Governor Lowden and General Wood. It is significant that Mr. Tidrington pointed out that what we need today is a military man to stamp out mob violence and lynching and a man whose words are respected like Theodore Roosevelt and the good General's own words at Gary and Omaha when he said, "The rights of all must be protected."

ELLIOTT FOR The Best advertising medi- rech colored in the west THE BYSTANDER Published every Friday by the Bystander Publishing Company. Des Moines, Iowa. Office in Chemical Building, Corner of Seventh and Mulberry streets. Phone Walnut 899. Entered at the Post Office of Des Moines, Iowa, as Second Class matter. Our souls are white, our faces black yet we must trod the beaten track of what the other races term, the race inferior. Yet why we are so called, I cannot see. Did that same God who did create man, in His own image designate the negro race inferior. The preamble to the Constitution reads: All men are created free and equal and have certain inhumanable rights." Therefore what rights we do possess must be considered alien. There are those who started out to solve the "Negro problem," some of these segregate. Others say amalgamate. Still others say to colonize the race. We who from colony and place we forced to serve as bondmen for the other race. And will our deeds of valor be forbidden. We who for democracy have fought and helped to win, or will we still remain in dire plight. As Aliens to the cause of just and right.-Mrs. Lewis 1316 N. 4th street West, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. MARSHALL MILLER Marshall Millers election to the city Council is looked for by all who are interested in good City Government, as he is recognized as a man thoroughly competent to fill the office as a representative of all the people, and will administer the duties of his office as he believes will be of benefit to the Majority of the people, and not to any special interest. He has many times in the past demonstrated his executive ability and has the nerve and a will to do what he believes to be right at all times. He has repeatedly refused to tie with any Slate or ticket. He believes that the taxpayers should have value received for every dollar expended, and economy in the strictest sense, but not to the detriment of the demands of a growing city such as Des Moines.

Our church held one of the most spiritual services last Sunday that has had for some time. The pastor spoke no the subject "What Manner of man is this." Five were added to the church. Three were for bantism. The Sunday school was at its best every class made a great showing. Inter est ran high and the lesson was well presented. The Sunday school of Corinthian is one of the model schools of the city. It is well-organized and each department receiving due attention. In addition to this there are four organized classes that are attracting much attention over the entire city. The men's bible class is taught by the pastor and is really a little school in the theology. It numbers about fifteen men well-organized and disciplined. Class No. 1, Mr. F. G. Goggins is teacher and it is composed of adults. Class number two is taught by Mr. E. Rose has about fifty enrolled with an average attendance of thirty every Sunday. It is one of the best organized classes in Iowa. There are about forty Tuesday night meetings. Coming close to it is No 4 taught by F. J. Harris and No. 3 Mrs.] Gertrude C. Rush, attorney at law. Teacher is the money class of the school. The other classes will receive attention later. The Young People's society is a gem. They had a great day Sunday evening. Every section was on the job. At the evening hour the pastor delivered a strong sermon using the subject, "Bring your son to me." On Tuesday night the crowning feature of the season was held at the church when the spring banquet by by-Mrs. Mary M. Scott was held. Without any doubt no social feature has ever been held in Corinthian of recent years to surpass this banquet. More than two hundred attended. The program by the Griffin family, Mrs. Dale Hammith, Mrs. Gortrude Brown, Miss Hortense Woods and Miss Rose Gipson were above the average. Prayer meeting was largely attended Wednesday night. Mrs. Allie Divers will entertain the Corinthian aid Friday afternoon April 2 at her home 1327 De Wolf street, at which time the president Mrs. C. H. Roane is expecting a large attendance. Don't fail to hear the noted orator, Prof. Wm. Pickens who will speak at Corinthian church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The choir will reorder special music for the occasion. The vice president, Mrs. Morrow will have the Mother's meeting in her home during the month of April and the president Mrs. Whitfield Reynolds earnestly prays that all mothers will give the vice president their support during her absence. The meeting Sunday evening at 5 o'clock promises to be very interesting. In connection with the great Passion Play to be given at Corinthian April the following program will be rendered between scenes. Vocal solo, Mrs. Aunen Brooks, quartet, Mrs. Rosa Gibson will be a James, Charles Carroll, Mr. Waruch. Instrumental duet, Mrs. Blanch Bolhic and Lorraine Crawford, vocal solo Mrs. Ed Brown. Mrs. Whitfield Reynolds leaves Saturday for a two weeks visit with her children in Omaha, from there she will go to Sioux Falls S. D. for a two weeks visit with her sons Frank and Herbert Whitfield. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The services were well-attended last Sunday evening and much interest was manifested in the sermon delivered by the pastor. Subject, "The results of an unclean heart." Text Acts 8 chapter 21 verse. The congregation was made to see the fact that the unclean would be unprepared to do God's serv- ce. The subject for next Sunday evening "God's new name." Our Sunday school is getting ready for Easter. Rev. Moss of the A. M. E. Zion was some very encouraging words to the church and bade him God's speed. Sunday morning services at 11 a. m. Sunday school from 12:30 to 1:30. Evening service 7:30, prayer meeting Wednesday at 7:30 p. m., Mission meeting Friday 2 p. m. Teachers meeting Friday 8 p. m. come you are welcome. The best time to give a boquet is when the rose is in the bloom—don't wait until the rose is wilted. The best time to give encouragement is when the person does well and that encourages them to do better. Wait until the last spark of courageous fire has gone out of a person then we try to rekindle it. In behalf of the Bystander Publishing Co. I write the following words: There are three things in my judgment the editor needs to be commended for, first for its regularity, second for its broad publication of news, third the attention given to the news that come into its possession. One thing I have noticed about the Bystander under the former management and the latter is that they published just what you would send them to publish. So let us subscribe and pay for the Bystander and help make it our home journey it is worth its place in anybody's home.—Rev. G. E. Sanders, 726 S. E. 10 street. Pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist church. ST. PAUL A. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES. Sunday March 21 the day was warm and clear. The school was well-attended and the children were full of the Easter spirit. The lesson was, John's pictures of worship in heaven, which picture-no doubt meant much to John, and those to whom he wrote, for they were without a doubt acquainted with the manner of worship in the temple at Jerusalem, therefore John's word pictures of worship in heaven was very suggestive. The lesson for March 28 is a review of the life work of Peter and John. Selection for reading, Rev. 21:21:22:5. Golden text, Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them (Rev. G.

We will tell you: Every cold weakens the lungs, lower: the vitality and paves the way for the more serious diseases. People who con- tract pneumonia first take cold. The longer a cold hangs on, the greater the danger, especially from the germ dis- eases, ns a cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs of consumption, diphtheria, sear- Tot fover and, whooping cough; The quicker you get rid of your cold, the less the danger of contracting one of these diseases, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has a great reputation as a cure for colds and can be depended upon.
