THE BYSTANDER SCARBOROUGH TO GO NEXT, REPORT Bishop Jones and Followers Apply "Pruning Knife" at Wilberforce University. XXVI No. 42 SCARBOROUGH GO NEX Bishop Jones and Follower at Wilberforce WILBERFORCE, O., March 27.— That Bishop Jones is completley in the saddle here again, and is the real domi- nating head of Wilberforce Normal and Industrial School, the state owned department, as well as of Wilberforce University, was forecast in the calling for the resignation of Prof. W.A. Join- er, Superintendent of the Normal and Industrial Department, at the trustee board's meeting. Simultaneous with the request for Prof. Joiner's resignation comes the report, substantiated by high clericals and officials of the University, that President Scardorough is slated to go when the University trustees meet in June. and that Dean Gilbert Jones, son of Bishop Jones, is prominently slated succeed President Scarborough. Indications point to a big shake up here in the faculty also, Prof. Woodward, professor mathematics, and regarded as one of the ablest in his line in the country, has resigned and accepted a professorship at Howard University; Washington, at a greatly increased salary. COLORED OFFICER FOR WOODS He Intends to Form Clubs For the General Among People of Iowa Kansas City, Mo., March 30th. Among the twenty-five Wood followers who applied yesterday at headquarters of the Wood-for-President club in the Glendale building for membership was Captain W.W. Russell, Negro, who was commissioned at the Panama Canal zone in the administration of President Wood. He is a graduate of Columbia University and the Boston Institute of Technology. During the war he was connected with various Negro wellfare organizations. He is an admirer of Roosevelt, and he believes Roosevelt would have indorsed General Wood. He not only intends to vote for the general, but will leave to-morrow for Iowa, where he will devote most of his time to the organization of Wood-for-President club among the Negro population. ARCHDEACON APPOINTED BY AFRICAN BISHOP ARCH DEACON APPOINTED BY BISHOP (Special to the Bystander) (Special to the Bystander) LAGOS, Nigeria, March 10th;—The Bishop of Lagos has appointed the Rev. N. Johnson to be Archdeacon of Lagos, and the Rev. A. W. Smith to be Archdeacon of the Yoruba Country. The Rev. N. Johnson is respected by all who know him and this appointment is a fitting recognition of his loyalty service to the church. A CORRECTION IN APPRECIATION. In the issue of the Bystander under date of April 2, 1920 an article appeared under the caption "Political Quiz which article was from the pen of a contributor and for which the Bystander Publishing company assumes no blame but the fact remains that by inadventance without malicious intent all of the credit for the results obtained by the Negroes of the city of Des Moines were given to the Pan Des Moines club and we wish now to state that whatever benefits they have accrued to the Negroes by reason of the result of the election was due as much to the loyal cooperation of the East Des Moines Boosters club the citizens rights league to the effort put forth by the Pan Des Moines club I take this means of expressing my appreciation of the co-operation and support afforded the Pan/Des Moines clubs by the two clubs in question.—Signed, E.

Booth as chief nurse. Blackburn, it is said, is to be employed by the Columbus board of education for work among Colored children. J. M D. Russell of the faculty is said to be slated for Joiner's place and his brother for head of the agricultural department. F.A. McGinnis is to be placed at the head of vocational work, reports are. All this shake-up, the story goes, is the result of the Methodist trustees having gained fuller control than ever before over the institution. The trustees are appointed in part by the bishop of the A.M.E. church and part by the governor. The clergy living at the institution always are in attendance at board meetings, the complaint long has been while some of the state, appointed trustees, living over the state, frequently fail to attend. The situation has been before several successive legislatures and is expected to reach its climax before the next assembly. THE Kansas City Call, the wideawake paper published by our talented friend, Chester A. Franklin takes to task the republicans of Kansas City for their failure to even attempt to place a representative of our race on ticket. Sentiment is strong in the city on the Kaw among our group for an alderman, who could easily be elected. The Call very properly excoriates the cowardice which prevented an effort to secure this recognition. What The Call so well says about the conditions in Kansas City applies equally to the attitude of republicans in this section of the political vine yard. Certain republican le adersconfidently expect loyal support of colored voters, but always deem it "untimely" or "inexpedient at this time to have a colorman file for office or put on the ticket" This is the kind of guff they have been handing out to our people since was a pup. Some individuals of our group hove supinely acquiesced in this position. Forunately, however, the masses are getting tired of this kind of business and have determined to enter the game right, win or loose. We are aware of some of the tricks that will be pulled off to prove that the political wiseacres who say colored men cannot be elected is true. We know also that if these republican leaders tote fair and stand by a colored nominee he can be easily elected. The time has come in Omaha as in Kansas City when "the spirit of the race has risen to the place we are no longer content to pay taxes, bear arms and vote to elect men who "the time has not yet come when it is required to have Ninees in office." is expedient to have Negroes in office To the republicans of this section who talk in this way we desire to commend a well-known Latin phrase, "Verbum sasientibus est satis," which accurately translated means a word to the wise is sufficient but which turned into moderd western vernacul means, we are on to your game; no double crossing; "tote fair" Tuskegee To Enlarge Curriculum Tuskegee, Ala., April 1.—The curriculum at Tuskegee Institute will be enriched very shortly by the introduction of the modern languages, higher mathematics, Sociology and an approved Normal course.

The Sunday schools of the above named district are wide-awake this year as a whole. Through the efforts of the new and proficient presiding elder, Rev. T. B. Stovall, together with the God sent superintendent, Mrs. J. L. Edwards, the district is doing good work. The superintendent who has been a faithful Sunday school worker for more than twenty-three years, stands ready and willing to serve the very best interests of the very least as well as the greatest schools. For many years she served in a quiet way, as an evangelist, saving many souls here and there. But recently the A. M. E, conference granted her license so that she may go forth doing more and greater work. She is now able to serve the District as never before. She preaches a plain adulterated gospel, such as is spoken of in Hebrews 4:12. This year the conference will be held at Bethel A. M. E, church in East Des Moines. Rev. Claybrook pastor. eRv. Claybrook is a wide-awake young man, full of ambition and takes God for his guide. He is making great preparations to entertain the district conference and Sunday school convention which convenes June 22-25. Anyone who will attend that convention will be well-paid for the effort.

Promptly at 3 o'clock the choir under the direction of Prof. H. R.

Robinson, pastor, musical numbers were rendered by Miss Ethel Bowmer and Princess Mary Woods. An offering of almost twenty dollars was lifted for the benefit of the church. The turn out of the Sir Knights which is always attractive, was given added interest because of the presence of the Heroines in their immaculate white uniforms and was therefore voted the best in the history of the Com- mandoy. At the conclusion of the service, the Sir Knights were marched back to the asylum by Sir S. Joe Brown, Captain General where the Prelate Sir Knight Wm.

Insure your house and furniture to-day. (Special to the freeman ) ST. LOUIS MO. April 2.—Last week the Citizen's Liberty League selected Lieut. George L. Vaughn, as candidate for Congress from the 12th Missouri District. This district has been represented for a number of years by L. C. Dyer, whose official acts have been heralded through the district with full brass band effect, when they concerned Negro constituents. he colored people have been following the Liberty League's meetings closely, and they are one with the its purposes. The men at the head of the movement are as worthy and clean as there are in the city, and no one doubts their motives for the elevation of their race. However, they evidently overloyked the fact that the announcement of their plans several weeks in advance would WOULD STOP SALE PROPERTY ATTYS THOMPSON AND W First Case of its Kind t of Des m Claiming that he had sold lots adjoining his home with the strict proviso that they should not be resold to colored people, Arch L. Madden has brought suit in District court to cancel the contract of sale between Hunter Flowers and Dorothy Quail. In the meantime he asks for a temporary injunction restraining Dorothy Quail, colored from taking possession of the property. Miss Quail is a young colored girl, member of Maple Street Baptist church and a model young woman whose engagement to Mr. Werter Gross was announced in an earlier issue of the Bystander. These young people had purchased this property as their future Indianapolis, Ind., March 31.—Wherever the people have had a chance to vote in direct preference for General Wood, the present-day champion of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's life-long policy of "all men up and no man down." Two weeks ago New Hampshire instructed her delegates for Leonard Wood by a huge majority, notwithstanding the stron-arm tactics of the state machine, which was working for an uninstructed delegation. Last week General Wood won in both Minnesota and South Dakota over great odds of political intrigues and combinations. It is apparent to the most casual observer that General Wood is not a professional politician, because he does not pussyfoot on universal military training, the protection of America first—and a long way first, the upholding of the constitution, the rigid enforcement of law and order, the protection of property rights 'as everything rests on this,' and the guaranteeing to every American citizen equality of opportunity without regard to race, color or creed. Leonard Wood is the only candidate to stand on a 100 per cent platform of Americanism. That's why the people are saying if you take the ROW out of President Woodrow, you will have the name of the next president of the United States. Every colored man and woman in America can become a charter member of the Wood-for-President Club by sending in name and address to 336 Indiana avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana.

Venerabe was a candidate was not entirely unexpected, but the people will not tolerate any candidate unsupported by the Liberty League, because they know such a candidate cannot be of actual service to the race in this crisis, as he will only enhance the chances of Dyer. It will be remembered what trouble additional candidates caused when Turpin ran for constable. A repetition of this situation will not be tolerated; the public is informed to permit it. It is not known what Dyer has up his sleeve. He is up against a losing proposition, with the colored voters standing pat. All the people need do is to support one candidate and the rest is easy.

The Bystander HEADS OF INTER- CHURCH MOVEMENT MEET IN KANSAS CITY Effort to Complete Organization Plans for Financial Drive In the State Regional and Iowa heads of the interchurch World Movement are meeting this week at Kansas City, Mo., in an effort to complete final organization plans for the financial drive in the state, which opens April 25 and closes May 2. The Iowa quota as announced is approximately $5,000,000. Quotas for the various counties are now being figured and will be given out within the next week. E. C. Wolcott of Sioux City, regional financial director, is attending the Kansas City meeting, as are Rev. Nelson Wehrhan, state director of the financial campaign, Dr. H. R. Best, field secretary, Robert E. Lewis, associate director general and a few other departmental heads. Immediately following the conclusion of the conference Rev. Wehrhan will return to Des Moines to take charge of the financial drive. The Iowa director has already appointed county financial directors, and to them will outline the general plan to be followed in the big drive. The financial campaign and other phases of the Interchurch World Movement is to be taken up by speaking teams when they visit county conferences April 6 to 9. During the conferences there are to be life service meetings for young people in every town in the state of 5,000 upward. The young people will be asked to take a more active part in church work and to endeavor to interest more young people in the work. Rev. W. P. McCormick of Des Moines is in charge of the life service department in Iowa and has asked that a special effort be made to carry out a program of merit during the conferences. Denominational leaders are preparing to speed up their work, and to concen'rate on matters that will lead up to the financial campaign. HOLD GENERAL CONFERENCE Inquiry directed to various churches by the Department of American Religious Education, Interchurch World Movement, shows that a number of denominations are thinking seriously of establishing vacation Bible schools during the summer. Northern Baptist recently held a general conference at Philadelphia where the subject was discussed. Dr. Thomas S. Young, former State Director of Sunday School and Young People's Work in Colorado has been appointed Director of Vacation Bible School work under the religious Education Department of the American Baptist Publication Society. Presbyterians have appointed J. S. Armentrout, a member of their staff of Religious Education, to promote these schools for their denomination. It is the purpose of the Baptists to institute intensive training courses for workers in every Baptist seminary and training schools this summer as well as at other central points. Pleasant Hill Christian Church, at Wingate, Ind., is cited by an Interchurch World Movement Surveyor as an example of what a small church can do to overcome difficulties. The congregation numbers 150. Two years ago the church had a $1,400 debt, and a half-time pastor to whom it paid $500 a year by the hardest effort. Last year it paid the pastor $1,500, furnished a parsonage rent free, and gave $300 to foreign missions and $500 to other mission work. Prayer periods have been inaugurated at the New York offices of the Interchurch World Movement, No. 45 West Eighteenth Street. At twelve o'clock each day the ringing of the bell puts an end to the clash of typewriters, work ceases, and one brief moment is given over to prayer and relaxation. At the close of the period the bells sound again and the busy hum of the workers is heard once more. Every Friday the prayer period is supplemented by a fifteen minute devotional service, when the entire staff on each floor assembles for a hymn, a brief talk and a prayer. Though prayer periods have been ordained for the offices since the beginning of the Interchurch World Movement carpentry work, moving of departments, and unsettled conditions interrupted their observance for a time. Now they have been resumed. In the county in Wyoming, the superintendent of schools while making inspection visits in the county, found children in two schools who had never heard the name of Christ, says a surveyor for the Interchurch World movement. The population of the county is 9,500 and the church membership 807. Rev. J. P. Linn of Iowa State college at Ames, Ia., has accepted the position of county work secretary of the Interchurch World Movement. The Presbyterian denomination has released Rev. Linn for this work, after which he will return to his duties at the college. RESUME PRAYERS Notes.
