A special invitation came to Mrs. Jones and the singers to be guests of the Rotary club at dinner in the Port Des Moines hotel, one of the finest hotels in the west. After the dinner Mrs. Jones was invited on suspicious talk and the singers rendered a few numbers. The personnel of the singers is as follows: Soprano, Misses Ella Clemons and Claudia Bogan; contralto, Miss Julia Campbell; tenor, Mr. Oscar Norman and basso, Mr. Jasper McGee. The songs that have taken best are "Honey Town," a banjo song, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Steal Away to Jesus." The melodies of course, are always happily received. Everywhere the other race have said in unison that the voice of Jasper McGee is a wonderfully charming. Later in the week the singers and Prof. Jones were guests of the chamber of commerce at Hotel Savery, one of the finest hotels in Iowa and last week.

A Successful Session Centerville, Iowa, Aug. 6.—The twenty-fourth annual grand session of the international order of twelve of the grand temple and tabernacle of Iowa and jurisdiction, convened Aug. 3, 4, 5, and 6 in Centerville in Frankel hall, Twelfth and Van Buren street. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning Sir Edward Roberson, C. G. M., called the grand temple and tabernacle to order. Sir S. S. Bates led in devotional exercise after which Daughter Mattie Brooks, G. H. P., instructed in the ritual. Tuesday evening the Sir Knights and Daughters were tendered a reception by Stranger's Home Temple, Golden Rule Tabernacle and Mayflower ten. Welcome addresses and responses were the chief feature on the program. Wednesday morning memorial services were held for deceased Sir Knights and Daughters. Seven daughters and Sir Knight had passed into the great room since the last grand session. Wednesday afternoon the grand officers made their annual addresses. Each one was a masterpiece and showed that the heads of all departments were wide awake. Wednesday evening the Sir Knights and Cadets were joined by the daughters, maids and pages at the home of Daughter Crittenden from which they marched headed by the Centerville band to the Second Baptist church for the annual sermon. This very impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. S. Sir S. Bates, C. G. O. He took his text from the Judges 11 chapter 35 verse, "I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I can not turn back." For about twenty-five minutes he held his audience spellbound as if under the influence of a magician. Music was furnished by the Taborian choir. Thursday morning the grand deputies reported. Five new bodies had been added to the jurisdiction, viz: Beacon Light Tabernacle, Cedar Rapids, organized by Daughter Mattie Brooks; Mt. Siam Temple, Cedar Rapids, organized by Sir Edward Roberson; Star of Rethlehem Tabernacle and Mount Olive Ten, Fairfield, organized by Daughter Adelia Wilson, Morning Star Temple.

MEGRO BUSINESS MEN MUST WAKE UP There are ten thousand Negroes scattered throughout Des Moines; on the other hand the business establishments owned and operated by Negroes compare only with other cities in the country, somewhere possibly five hundred white people live. Des Moines is a fair example of the cities of the northwest. The Bystander has noted this condition of affairs and takes this occasion to recommend such measures as it thinks will greatly remedy it. A Negro business league should be organized or revived by BUSINESS MEN whose duties will be similar to the chamber of commerce but of necessities and duties. Negro duties this organization should commence a campaign for the purpose of teaching Negroes to (1) patronize Negro enterprises (2) to promote Negro enterprises (3) to quit knocking Negro enterprises (4) to enforce white enterprises when there are colored people who can do that same work. Well do we know that there are many worthy white firms that not only welcome us to their doors and who sell merchandise that our enterprises do not handle; but there is little excuse for the failure to give whole hearted substantial support to the grocery and drug stores, tailor shops, cosmetics law and doctors' baskets, has no lovers of patronage in these lines. The reason is obvious. Must Negro business and professional men wait until complete Jim Crowism prevails in this city before the proper support comes? We must not have the latter. One day last week appeared a glaring headline in one of our leading dailies which read as follows: "Gagged by Burly_Negro; Robber." No person who read this article could help but recall that this same propaganda had caused trouble in other cities. The Bystander realizes that the matter was information for the public—the object of newspapers; but propaganda units were not. Both editors of the leading dailies have repeatedly declared that they were not responsible for what went into the news columns of their papers, but the Bystander ventures to say that there is a proviso attached to this irresponsibility; that the fellow who is hurt will not or cannot retaliate effectually. A. STRIKING COMPARISON. Gov. Cox has formally accepted the democratic nomination ror president. In his speech he covered many subjects thoroughly. Contrary to his policy of appealing to all voters as has been his custom as candidate for governor of Ohio, he had nothing to say about Negro democrats or the Negro race. Of course his situation was entirely different in this instance, for Kobe Smith, Albert Bubleson, and I had to be pleased. The governor states in this lengthy speech he find it difficult to follow the reasoning of a person who makes law enforcement that are issued in the campaign and yet he may be one of those people who when told of conditions among Negroes states: "I never knew such a thing existed." The Negro always wants to know whether a candidate believes in law enforcement because the average officer holds force the law in favor of Negroes when their civil rights in particular have been On this same subject Senator Harding the republican nominee saves: ing. I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America. "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, the安全 and the citizenship of citizenship, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice should prevail." Gov. Coolidge has taken an equally strong stand on the subject. Contrast the clear cut statement of the republican nominees and the clear statement of Gov. Cool and the law abiding citizens of America can have but one choice, Harding and Coolidge. New Orleans, Ln., Aug. 12—The new editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, Rev. Lorenzo H.

GREAT NEGRO EXODUS SEEN Albany, Ga., Aug. 12—The seriousness of the Negro migration from South Georgia is beginning to be visualized in Albany, Ga., as the returns from the 1920 census are published. Figures on Quitman and Clay counties show the former has lost more than 25 per cent of its population in 10 years and the latter has lost more than 25 per cent of serious migration of the white population has occurred in the last decade, and the only explanation is found in Negroes leaving in large numbers. TRAVIS COUNTY ADMINISTERS STINING REBUKE TO MOBBISTS WHO ASSAULTED J. B. SHILLADY Austin, Texas, Aug. 2.—“Vengeance is mine; I will repay, sayeth the Lord.” The cowardly assailants of Secretary John R. Shillady of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, County Judge Dave Pickles, Texas, County Judge John Hamby, whom the sheriff's office, were repudiated at the polls at the “white man's primary” election July 24th. These “worthies” went down to an inglorious defeat. Decent white men and women of Travis county administered a stinging rebuke to the lawless element of defeat of County Judge and Combatant and Combatant Hamby. They led the mob that brutally assaulted Secretary Shillady on the public streets of the capital city some months ago. Chief of Police Jake D.

NEW UNIVERSITY FOR GEORGIA NEGROS Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 12—A bill is now pending before the Georgia legislature to establish a school of agriculture and mechanical arts for colored people, and to establish the Puniversity of Georgia at Athens. The sum of $15,000 a year is provided for its maintenance. Recently a delegation of colored men appeared before a committee of the Georgia legislature to press the bill. Among them were H. E. B. Davis, a school and B. J. Davis, managing editor of The Independent. MISS HALLIE Q. BROWN Chicago, Aug. 9—Recently hundreds of southern newspapers and a many democratic publications in the north carried an interview purporting to come from Miss Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women, professor at Wilberforce university, brilliant teacher of expression and famous woman, in which she is reported to have said that the "republican party has been asked for a plank in its platform and had given a splinter. It has a address to Hill H. Brown publicity director of the republican national committee, Miss Brown repudiates the interview as a sample of democratic duplicity, and announces that she is doing everything in her power to elect Senator Harding to the presidency. "Dreadfully Misquoted." "I have never had any doubts of our republican party," writes Miss Brown. "I was dreadfully misquoted by those who said what I said about the democratic party, and that I was returning home to work for Harding." The democratic party offers the colored people absolutely nothing. Its activities are all invested to take from them every civic right and privilege they secured under the republican party, yet its papers do not hostile to stoop even to a point where they misquote a woman in their zeal to create any sort of disaffection in the republican party. Miss Brown is a sister to the late Jane Brown, of Cleveland, one of the pioneer members of the Ohio legislature and a great friend of Senator Harding and William McKinley. It is understood that the famous elocutionist will have a big part in the work of organization among the colored women of the country. This was practically arranged for, soon after the national convention had adjourned in June. I SAW IT IN THE BYSTANDER. Alexander Manning, vice chairman of the Negro democratic conference and publisher of Indianapolis, Ind., and John J. Bell, law clerk of N. Y. C. department of finance are strong for Governor Cox. This would have a centilla of weight of the three candidates did not have J. Skelton Williams, Josephus Daniels & Co., as his advisers. Atlantic, Ga., Aug. 6—Bishop L. H. bishop of the C. M. E. church passed bishop of the C. M. E. church passed away suddenly at his home in this city. Bishop Holsey, along with Bishop Miles, deceased and Bishop Isane Lane, who is still living, founded the colored Methodist Episcopal church at Jack- Tenn, assisting Bishop Pain, white, who then ensured for that church the Methodist Episcopal church, south. He was known as the "Old Man Elocuent" for, though born a slave, he had a marvelous command of the English language. Topeka, Kan.-Paul H. Heinty, a popular young attorney of Topeka, Kansas is candidate for judge of the Topeka court. The secretary of the state of Ohio has ordered the name of Harry C. Smith, a Negro publisher of Cleveland, Ohio placed on the republican primary ballot as a candidate for secretary of state. spite of the fact that a large percentage of the miners in Iowa are colored, none of the men comprising the first aid mining teams from the camps throughout the state were colored. The team from Buxton where a large number of Negroes live, won first place in the present Iowa at the annual rational meet. RENEWS BUILDING DRIVE The newly appointed financial committee of the Crocker Street Branch Y. M. C. A. has launched a campaign for funds with which to enlarge and complete their little building recently erected at Twelfth and Crocker streets by addressing to each delinquent subscriber a copy of their first annual report accompanied by the deserving letter: Des Mohsen Iowa. July 19, 1920. Dear Sir and Brother: Enclosed herewith is a copy of the first annual report of our executive secretary, Mr. E. C. Robinson, giving a brief history of the work of the Crocker street branch Y. M. C. A. up to May 19th which is the close of our fiscal year. Since that date as you have doubtless observed, we have taken possession of our beautiful site at Twelfth and Crocker streets by erecting and occupying one unit of the temporary building which we had planned at the time of our building campaign in March of last year in which purpose you joined in with a brochure and subscribed the liberal sum of $47 128.00. Doubtless you like numbers of other subserviers have been disappointed in the size and otherwise incompleteness of the building we have erected; and therefore feel that it is our duty to explain why the building is not more imposing. The reason is that of the $7,128.00 which you and others subscribed, all of it payable not later than January 1st of this year, only $1,428.00 or less than one-fourth has been paid to this date July 19, 1920, and, since under the terms of our lease upon this corner we were to occupy it absolutely free from rent for a period of five years upon pressure and pressure upon it a Y. M. C. A. building for colored men and boys, we are compelled to erect some kind of a building or lose this beautiful location, overlooking the Kecosanou boulevard, which we also hold an option to buy at a nominal price at the expiration of the five years free rent; and since we found it impossible to erect a $7,000.00 building with the $1,428.00 you had given us, we decided to erect one or more units, is appropriately fourth of the complete building; which has been so planned by Brother A. A. Alexander, chairman of our building committee, that as soon as sufficient funds are paid in we can go ahead and erect one or more other units, without in any way OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

COLORED NAVY OFFICER MAKES THRILLING RESCOE Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 12—Henry Brady, the highest ranking colored officer in the United States navy, popular and well known in social circles in Philadelphia, was the hero of a thrilling rescue from drowning in the surf at Atlantic City. Mr. Brady, who is an expert swimmer and diver, was recently ordered by navy officials to proceed to the naval academy at Annapolis, Md., to give instructions in diving. Just before his departure he took a run down to Atlantic City. While in bathing, he heard the agonized cry of a woman, and hastening to his rescue, rescued him just as he was about to go down for the third time. Mr. Brady landed his burden on the beach, where he soon resuscitated him. Manchester, N. Y., Aug. 12.—In response to an appeal by the New England Society for the Prevention of Lynchings, who called his attention to the recent double lynching at Paris, Texas, and the burning at the stake of Ed Reach, taken from the Pearson county jail in North Carolina, Governor Coolidge lynching, who is especially his vacation at the Coolidge from in Vermont, near Plymouth, issued a statement scoring both acts as a disgrace to their states, calling attention to the anti-lynching bill coming up for congressional action.

In some cases this designation has lost its meaning of long years, when it seems almost an anomaly serves as sufficient an explanation for mob violence. Who was burned at the stake by the North Carolina mob was charged with having attacked a 14-year-old white girl. The mob had hardly completed its work when it appears that his employer furnished an alibi." "If the man charged with this crime had been white he might have expected for different treatment, but he chose a chance to his innocence and his assistance from the scene of the crime. If found guilty, he would have been punished by due process of the law. But he was black. This seemed to be sufficient reason for the North mob, not the law, to bewitching, but him in an especially cruel and harboring manner." "That the country is awakening to the disgrace of these truthless lynchings is indicated by the fact that for the first time a national political party, in its platform by the, republican national convention at Chicago says: "We urge congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in tain country, which continues to be a terrible blot on us. Our American citizenship, we are not empty words, for the twenty-second of last May, the house judiciary committee reported out an anti-lynching bill and had it placed on the calendar for early consideration.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 12.—A denial that the war department has a Negro as assistant secretary of war during the recent war comes as an interesting sidelight. The matter is made plain in a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Representative Dent, of Alabama, a member of the house military affairs committee, received here, which says: "During the war, the war department dealt with many hundreds of thousands of draftees and other military personnel. We were constantly having delegations and representations of colored people at the war department upon matters connected with war work, and the interests of men and women of the colored race as affected by the war. In order to have an intelligent comprehension and sympathetic treatment of these problems, I asked Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee to be special assistant to the secretary of war to deal with such matters. Scott of course, was not an assistant secretary of war, but a special assistant secretary of war special purpose which I have indicated. His assistance was of the greatest value to the government and to the people of the colored race. "Scott was stationed in Washington throughout the war and did not visit France at any time and was not stationed at any camp of the cantonment Dr. Moton, president of Tuskegee, did, however, visit France at my request anw lectured and talked to colored soldiers of the A. E. F." ```markdown ``` All money received from subscriptions each week will be credited in this column.

The Corinthian church people were much alive in suite of the extremely hot weather last Sunday. A large crowd greeted the pastor, Rev. G. W. Robinson at the morning and evening services. The singing by the choir was unsurpassable. The Sunday school is progressing nicely. Please send your children out. Young people, the B. Y. P. U. needs your support. To neglect this department you do an injustice to God and man. The singing is great and the lesson inspiring. Come out and be a booster. A quartet composed of Prof. E. C. Robinson, Messrs. Chas.-Crews, L. T. Green, and Warrick went to Camp Dodge Sunday to sing for the departing soldiers. The Cosmopolitan Glee club organized recently by Rev. Robinson made up of the young people of every church in the city, will make its first appearance in a grand musical August 17 at 8 o'clock at Corinthian church. Please come out and encourage these young people in their first effort. We are glad to welcome to our city and church Mr. Fred Stanton, formerly of Des Moines and now of St. Louis, Mo., after nine years of adbence from our city. He returned looking as natural as ever. Don't forget to visit the sick members. ST. PAUL A. M. E. SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES Did we have a good time at the picnic? We'll say we had, we had two big trucks to haul us out to Union park and when we got there we spread our basket on several tables joined together and had our food in common. The table was blessed by the Rev. Mrs. Howard of New York City. There was a goodly number out. We succeeded in eating ten gallons of ice cream served in cups, glasses, bowls and three hundred and forty cones. Every one on the grounds must have his share on the cream and grown-ups were not slighted. Our attendance has been fair for the past six months, but we are not quite satisfied, because we know of dozens of children within easy walking distance of our church who attend no Sunday school. Fathers and mothers, if those boys and girls are to be respected citizens of this or any other community they must have some real Christian training and the Sunday school is the best place we know of for the child to get that training aside from the home. Most of the so-called homes cf today are in reality not homes at all, but merely places to sleep. The word home to the writer implies infinitely more than that. Though yours be a real home send your child to Sunday school so that they he may form a liking for Sunday school and eventually church. Develop the spiritual as well as the literary side of the child and as a result you will have a symmetrical man or woman. All letters and no God always make a fool. Lesson VII. "The Sins and Sorrows of David," II Samuel 12:9-10; 18:1-15. Golden text, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap, Gal 6:7. What is Best for Indigestion? Mr. A.

In keeping with the policy inaugurated by the American Cooperative Investment company at the union massmeeting held at St. Paul A. M. E. church on Sunday, Aug. 1 to educate Negroes to promote and patronize their own business establishments, the second massmeeting of the series was held at Maple Street Baptist church, Sunday, August 8. Due to some unforeseen services which served to wear the crowd out, a little loyal band remained to hear of the work. E. Tracy Blagburn president of the corporation presided and explained the work of the organization. Littleton Bowles, a director of the organization spoke at length on the methods that should be following in building a business. James R. Morris, attorney for the organization and L. J. Shelton, director spoke, Laurence C. Jones of Piney Woods, spoke. THE BYSTANDER Rev. G. E. Sanders, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist church spoke on the necessity of bigger and better enterprises among the race which would not only give return in dollars and cents to the investors but which could and would give employment to the young colored pupils who graduated from the various institutions. S. Bates, the pastor, welcomed the stockholders and officers to the church. He personally led off his members in subscribing for stock, and pledged his whole hearted support in seeing this his members did their part in the work. Too much praise cannot be given Maple Street Baptist church for the response made in subscriptions, Sunday, Aug. 8. The next meeting will be held at St. Paul A. M. E. church, Tewifth and Crocker streets, Sunday, Aug. 15 at 3 o'clock. A rousing meeting is anticipated. Good News For All Men Simply! Wash the Hair Oh! Boy!!
