Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER Opposed by Des Moines B Mary E. MISS HALLIE Q. BROWN. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, lecturer, electorist and educator, who was unanimously elected president of the National Association of Colored Women at their twelfth biennial session recently held in Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Miss Brown is unquestionably one of 1500 PERSONS LEAVE SOUTH EVERY DAY Lynching is Cause of Second Big Migration Now On. LABOR SCARCE. White Women Forced to Work in Field to Save Crops. Chicago, July 30.—There is another mighty exodus of the Negroes from the south. The chief cause this time is not economic, although practically all who come are able to get work, but the movement is due to an epidemic of infiltration and lynching. Since the first of July there has been an astounding epidemic of murder and lynching in several sections of the south. The Associated Negro Press is carefully investigating the conditions from every angle. According to The Memphis Times, colored people are leaving the south at the rate of more than 1,600 a day. This is frankly very conservative. A leading professional man from Mississippi, who has just reached Chicago, stated that the people are leaving at the rate of more than 1,500 a day. The newspapers of the country, daily and otherwise, had not ceased converting editorially on the semi-annual report of Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee institute, as gathered by Prof. Monroe N. Work of the research department, on lynching for 1920—where an appreciable decrease is shown—when the trouble started. Meridian, Miss, who had an altercation with a white traveling postal clerk was taken from the officers and "quitely" lynched. "The killing of the Negro was the quietest and most orderly lynching that ever took place in this section. Not an inkling of any intention to deal out summary vengeance having been allowed to become known and the identity of the men who did the work is a profound mystery which probably will never be solved." While the whites are remaining "mystified," thousands of people, many of them large property holders, the accumulation of a life time, are leaving Mississippi. A white policeman shot and killed two Negro firemen in Elberton, Ga., July 1st; Eld Rochau was "shot to death by a posse of farmers near Roxboro, Va." July 6; Irving and Herman Arthur were mobbed and burned at the stake in Paris, Texas, July 6, and thus goes the great American pastime of human slaughter. NEW JERSEY GIVES $317,000 TO COLORED SCHOOL The legislature of New Jersey has appropriated for the Borden town industrial school, the sum of $317,000, available for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1920. This is the largest appropriation in the history of the school. This sum includes $160,000 for a dining-room and gymnasium. This is an indication of the confidence which the state is feeling in the future of the school.

New York—Cameramen and motion picture directors representing the Monumental Pictures corporation are at work on a film entitled "Leading Negroes of the American Metropolis," which will soon be exhibited to both white and colored theatres throughout the century. Motion pictures will be taken individually and collectively of selected colored citizens in various walks of life who by their efforts have won distinction and success to such an extent that they are recognized leaders in business and professional pursuits. The list of citizens who have been asked to cooperate has been prepared with the greatest possible care and an effort will be made to outdo the Washington film, which is said to be a revelation in manw respects. The Washington Pictorial will have its first private showing in New York, at a meeting of the local leaders of the race which will be called presently.

From the machine in its flight will be taken pictures of New York harbor, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Manhattan island, a trip up the Hudson river showing River side drive, Grant's tomb and various other points of interest, finally stopping in Harlem where the cameraman will make a considerable number of pictures, sufficient to give a comprehensive idea of the life and notable accomplishments of the most advanced and progressive Negro community in the world. Lieut. J. Williams Clifford is president of the Monumental Pictures corporation. He swept several days in New York recently and held a series of conferences at the company's.

PLAN $125,000 HOME FOR NEGRO ORPHANS St. Louis, Mo., July 30.—The Board of Directors of the St. Louis Colored Orphans' home have announced plans for erecting a new building on Goodle avenue, extending from Cottage to Kennedy avenues, and facing Tany park, to cost approximately $125,000, Tany park is a strip of land, faced on one side by the Summer High school. The city acquired it a year and a half ago as a public playground and recreation center for Negroes. The old frame structure, which the home has occupied at 4300 Natural Bridge road since 106 was condemned in 1919 by the building department, and at the same time the council of associated charities requested a revision in the methods of the home's administration. In order to preserve the institution the board of directors persuaded Mrs. Aunie E. Malone to accept the presidency of the board. The new management contemplates several radical changes in methods of administration. The home will no longer be a permanent residence for children, but will be regarded as a districting station from which orphans will be placed in good homes. Uniform clothing will be dispensed with. 13-Acre Farm Sells for $10,000. A thirteen-acre farm on West Main street in Belleville belonging to the widow of Walter S.

Morrow, white, has invited speakers of national reputation to the state inter-racial conference to be held at the court house, Friday and Saturday. The call states: "There is no question of greater moment to the people of the south than that of the maintenance of right relations between the Negro and white races which constitute our population.

N, DINER Houston, Texas, July 30.—"You can's sleep at night and you can't eat in the day!" has become the policy of the Texas railroads towards their colored passengers. As a matter of fact colored passengers never have enjoyed sleep in Texas in a Pullman, until recently a few have traveled in drawing rooms, but it has been the policy all Texas railroads to permit coloreed passengers to eat in diners beginning with second meal, until last Monday, when Dr. M. W. Dogan, president of Wiley university, Marshall, Texas, and Rev. A. W. Carr, superintendent of the Marshall district of the M. E. church were almost forebly ejected from the diner of the wildly-heralded and much patronized Sunshine Special of the international and Great Northern railroad by a hurry-burly train conductor.

DR. BUNDY AFPEARED BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE SUNDAY Relates Story of his Fight for Life. Before an audience that almost filled the auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E. church, Dr. LeRoy Bunday, hero of the East St. Louis riot and his counsel, Attorney Calloway of Kansas City held their audience spellbound for nearly three hours Sunday afternoon. Preceding the appearance of the speakers Mr. Malecolm Griffith played several instrumental numbers and Miss Ophelia Washington, a teacher of Clarksburg, W. Va., sang a solo. Rev. G. W. Robinson opened the meeting with prayer and Rev. S. Bates made a short address. Rev. S. L. Birt introduced Attorney Calloway who with his partner Attorney Heuston has taken up Dr. Bundy's defense. Attorney Calloway scholar and orator of wonderful power, reviewed the facts of the East St. Louis riots from May 1 to July 1. He attributed the cause of the riots to jealousy on the part of the white laborers who were being supplanted by Negro labor from the south. He told how Dr. Bundy was accused of conspiracy to murder two police for which he was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by a jury one of whom was a few days later declared insane. Much praise was given to Mrs. Bundy who so nobly stood by her husband and was responsible for securing the $50,000 bond upon which he was released. Attorney Calloway introduced Dr. Brundy to whom he referred as the hero of the East St. Louis riots. Dr. Brundy who had been a prosperous dentist and garage owner in East St. Louis is a graduate of Western Reserve university, Cleveland and took post graduate course in Berlin. Although a man young and beautiful, the Brundy family's duty to arouse the colored citizens of the women and children from the white hoodlums who were making East St. Louis a place unfit to live in. Dr. Bundy who is a quiet unassuming young man told the story, "Between the lines of the associated press stories." The story that was never printed. He proved his assertion that "Negroes never start riots, they stop them." The audience was held spellbound while Dr. Bundy painted in vivid word pictures the series of riots beginning May 1 and ending July 1 when a band of twenty-eight valient Negroes stopped the mob of rioters who were bent on destroying the lives and homes of the Negroes whom they had determined to drive out of town. For the bravery displayed at all times and for daring to demand of the city and state protection for life and property Dr. Bundy was charged with conspiracy to murder two police who were killed while riding through the Negro section armed and without lights. Dr. Bundy who escaped to Ohio was extradited after a three months legal battle. He was tried in the prejudiced courts of southern Illinois and sentenced to life imprisonment. After serving a year in the southern Illinois prison, through the untiring efforts of his devoted wife and friends, Dr. Bundy was released on $50,000 bond through writ of supremeedens. Dr. Bundy with his attorney and wife are on a tour of the country asking the members of the race to back his fight which will set a precedent for all similar decisions. A collection of $250 was given to Dr. Bundy by the citizens of Des Moines as their share towards the appeal which comes up for hearing in October. JULIUS ROSENWALD MAKES NEW OFFER TO BUILD RACE Y. M.

Jones Many men and women of our group in iowa have proven themselves the conal and in many respects the propriors of other races in the laboring and professional worlds. It is just recently that we are beginning to enter the world that we can succeed in the cold, strenuous business competitions. The writer journeyed a few days ago and was the guest of Prof. A. B. Noble he was the English department of the college and the breakfast guest of Mr. G. Madison, who is a typical example of the rising young men in our group. Graduating from the engineering department a few years ago, he did the unprecedented thing—settled down in a small white college town. The spirit of development and competition soon dominated his life and he had "set up business" for himself. After six years of strenuous competition he has a plumbing establishment with stock and equipment exceeding a value of $15,000. His bookkeeper is also clerk of the largest church in Ames. A force of seven skilled men augmented by helpers as the job demands look to Mr. Madison for orders. The acid test of any business, especially a contracting business is "How does the chief stand with the banks." That Mr. Madison has first class credit is evidenced by the yearly growth of his business. The volume of the first year was $5,000, the second year $33,000 the fifth year it jumped to $75,000 and this year it will run well above the $150,000 mark. In addition to directing this growing business he finds time to draft his own plans and write ads that are "pullers." Several of these ads have been used in various trade magazines on their "Better Business Campaign." Like his business career, his educational experience was a steady development. Leaving the public schools he entered Sam Houston college, Texas, then to Tuskegee institute in Alabama from where he graduated to the great Ames college. As I sat in the modern dining room munching delicious biscuits and negotiating a delicious steak prepared by the cherryman little wife, who with Madison, Jr., rules over a modern, well furnished bungalow. I gleaned from his conversation that his message to the young men of our group is to be capable, honest and develop the power of endeavor. Mr. Madison is just completing a $35,000 contract for the Eagle Grove High school. A great honor has just come to him in the news of assistant director of institute at the great Tuskegee institute, which is receiving his serious consideration. The example of Mr. Madison is a vital one especially to our boys in Iowa. CROCKER STREET EXANCH Y. M. C. A. HAD. FORTY.

DES MOINES BOY MAKES GOOD IN THEATRICAL WORLD for 8250.00 per week. One day this spring a smiling young man known to his friends here as Tommy Harris came into the office and after giving a year's subscription to the Rystander told us some of his plans for the future. He confided to us that his highest ambition had been to enter vaudeville and he was about to realize his heart's desire. True to his promise to let his home town paper be the first to learn of his success we were gratified this week to receive a communication from him with the information that he had signed a contract for a vaudeville tour of ten weeks at $250 per week. Mr. Harris is quite well known in this section as a comedian and dancer having been in the show game since he was 14 years of age. His first experience was with the W. A. Mahara ministrels. Coming to Des Moines in 1907 he formed a partnership with one of the Nay brothers and this team worked in vaudeville out of Des Moines for two years. Their first appearance in Des Moines was in a minister given for the V. M. C. A. that was then located at Ninth and Park streets. He appeared with the late John Minggett. The performance was under the direction of Raymond Dysart. His next engagement was with the Nashville students where he remained until 1916. During this time he also played the snare drum with the Frank Perkins jazz band now filling an engagement at Riverview park. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Harris was drafted and saw service overseas with the famous 366th regiment. While at Camp Dodge he made a decided hit in the minstrel presented by his regiment at the Berechel theatre. He was also a member of the 366th band. On his return to the states after the close of the war he spent several months in vaudeville but later retired to prepare for his new act. Mr. Harris expects to leave for New York about the first of October where his time will begin. We hope that his tour will bring him to Des Moines where his many friends here will witness his success. OLD SETTLERS PICNIC The old settlers of Des Moines will hold their annual picnic Thursday, Aug. 5 at Union park. Dinner will be served at 2 o'clock, after which a program of games and races under the direction of A. A. Alexander, E. R. Hall and E. Traey Blagdon will be held and prizes for the winners of first and second places will be awarded by the secretary, Mr. John I. Thompson. The judges will be announced later. Contests including races for men, women and children, jumping, baseball, croquet and horse shoe games will be enjoyed. Immediately after dinner the list of old settlers who have died the past year will be read. All settlers old and new, ministers and their congregations are cordially invited to come and bring well filled baskets.—R. N. Hyde, president, John L. Thompson, secretary. Suffered Intense Pain "A few years ago when visiting relatives in Michigan something I had catnaught on an attack of cholera morbosa," writes Mrs. Celesta McVicker, Macon, Mo. "I suffered intense pains and had to go to bed. I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy and one dose relieved the pain wonderfully. I only took two or three doses but they did the work. Sponges are known to be very abundant in the Australasian seas, especially is this the case with the borny or biggest form of sponges.

The platform adopted at the Tuskegee institute by the National Association of Colored Women's clubs is a better model of clear statement than the perhaps more important platforms of the major political parties. It is brief enough to reprint the important parts here: "Since it is evident that the women of the nation are soon to be invested with the right of full franchise, we recommend that the colored women give their close attention to the study of civics, to the laws of parliamentary usage, and to current political questions, both local and national, in order to fit themselves for the exercise of the franchise. "As Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, our retiring president, has been named as one of the ten women of America to serve as delegate to the International Council of Women to be held in Norway in September next, we express our heartfelt appreciation for the representation giving women of our race. "We heartily commend the Urban league and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who are doing so much to bring about justice to the members of our prescribed race. "We wish to go on record as asking the instructors throughout this country, especially those in colored schools, to teach our boys and girls the lives of the great men and women of our race, who have thus far shaped, and are shaping, our destinies. "We further recommend that wherever possible the local clubs co-operate with the teachers in building up good libraries in colored schools, and in putting upon the shelves authentic publications from our best colored authors in literature, history, science and art. "We go on record as indorsing and urging the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment to the federal constitution of the United States, as interpreted in the Volstead act. "And we also urge our national congress to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution. "Since glaring headlines and detailed accounts in the press, of crimes and misdemeanors committed by colored people, tend to inflame the passions of the public against members of our race, culminating often in rising and mob violence, we urge the press of the United States to refrain from thus perpetuating such propaganda against us. "We again make solemn protest against the continued prevalence of mob violence in the United States, and we pray for the enactment of a federal statute against lynch law, which severe penalties for the violation thereof, and that such statute be enforced, is need be, by the military power of the government. "Frances E. Keyser, "H. A. Washington, "Mary V. Parrish, "Mary Church Terrell, "Mrs. S. Joe Brown, "Alice Dunbar-Nelson." The common sense, courageous attitude of the colored women toward the problem of race advancement should be an inspiration to those of the colored leaders who may occasionally doubt. There may be even some merit in the reference to the press, though this country and all its people cannot get too clearly in mind that the responsibility for news rests primarily on those who make it, not on the institution whose duty is to chronicle it.—Des Moines Register.

P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1926, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 1 DAVID BRINGS THE ARK TO JE. RUSALEM. LESSON TEXT—II Sam. 6:1-19; Ps. 24: 7-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise—Ps. 100.4. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Ex. 25:10-22; II Sam. 5:6-25; Heb. 9:2-10. PRIMARY TOPIC—Thanking God. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Ark of God brought to Jerusalem. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -What the Ark Meant to Israel. -YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Making Religion Central. The ark was a symbol of the presence of God in Israel. It represented God's throne, the place from which he communicated his will to the people through the priest (Ex. 25:22; Psalms 80:1). I. David's Unsuccessful Attempt to Bring Up the Ark (vv. 1-5). This is an example of a wrong way of doing a right thing. That the ark of the Lord of Hosts, the symbol of God's presence, should be brought to the very center of the nation's life was a decision worthy of all praise. It surely met God's approval. David gathered together the representative men of the nation in order that the movement might be a national one. That David was sincere in this measure cannot be doubted, but he was hasty and inconsiderate. God had expressly decreed that the Kohathites should bear the ark upon their shoulders (Num. 4:14, 15; 7:9; 18:3). For them to place it even upon a new cart was a positive violation of God's commandment. Though David was sincere, his sincerity did not atone for disobedience to God's Word. The dictum that it matters little what you do, just so you are honest and sincere, is one of the Devil's blackest lies. It mattered much in this case, and always does. David cannot be excused on the ground of ignorance, because he had the opportunity to know. God cannot be blamed for man's ignorance when he has given him the law and the ability to understand it. II. God Vindicates His Law and Holiness (vv. 6-9). The people were very joyful as they moved on toward Jerusalem with the ark, but suddenly there was a stop to their jubilant voices and music. At some rough place in the road the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, anxious for the precious freight on his cart, reached forth his hand to steady it. This resulted in his being stricken with death, Ignorance does not make a man immune from the death which is in the touch of the heavily charged electric wire; neither does it in the case of the violation of God's laws. Even those who were designated by the Lord to carry the ark were not allowed to touch it with their hands. Since the ark was God's dwelling place among men, they needed to know that he was holy. God's judgment was severe, but not more so than they deserved. This awful visitation of just judgment struck terror to David. Well it might, for he was in the path of disobedience. The Lord's presence has no terror for those who obey his word. 111. The Ark of God in the House of Obed-Edom (vv. 10-12). The presence of Jehovah always brings blessings. The homes where God is welcomed are always blessed, Obed-Edom was not better personally than Uzzah and David, but he openly received the Lord and properly related himself to him. What had been death and dread to others was life and blessing to him. 11. The Ark Brought to Jerusalem With Great Joy (vv. 13-19). 1. Sacrifices offered after going six paces (v. 13). David made the start and when convinced of God's approval he made offerings. These were both burnt and peace offerings, typifying the self-dedication of the offerers and their thanksgiving (I Chron. 16:1). 2. David's great joy (vv. 14, 15). The people joined him with great shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. 3. Michal's criticism (v. 16). Even though David went to excess in his expression of joy, it was wrong in her to criticize, for God seems to have sanctioned David's rebuke of her (v. 23). 4. The grand celebration (vv. 17-19). As a token of his gratitude to God, David generously treated the people. 5. The King of glory, the Lord Jesus Christ coming (Psalms 24:7-10). This was not the psalm composed by David for the occasion of bringing up the ark; that was Psalm 105 (see I Chron. 16). It is strange that such a suggestion should have been made. The Twenty-fourth Psalm pictures Christ as the coming and triumphant King. At that time the gates shall open to him and the King of glory shall come in. Self-Judgment. Turn thine eyes unto thyself, and beware thou judge not the deeds of other men. In judging of others a man laboreth in vain, often errend, and easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboreth fruitfully.—Thomas a Kempis.

The Piney woods sextet will be at the church August 7 and 9. The entertainment by the Reapers club was a financial success. DAVENPORT ITEMS (R. C. Moore) Saturday was quite a flamey day for the A. M. E. church, on account of its being tag day. There was a real live sum appreciated, the amount of $351. There were twenty-two on the active list of taggers, among that number there were seven under the teen age. Two of whom were out of town guests. We were sorry to relate that there was only one young miss in the person of Miss Odessa Thompson, it is certainly an indifference shown by the young misses of Baveport, whose number of the other there were. But we hope next year there will be more of trem. The ages of taggers ranged from 9 to 72. Mr. James Shamley received quite a sad accident while at work at the Palmer school last week. His injuries may prove fatal. He received them in the back of the head and upon the leg. They were sustainde from the dirt of a ne wcellar caving in.
