Iowa State Bystander

BOOST, PAY And Read The Bystander THE BYSTANDER National Negro Business League in Annual Session at Philadelphia Grand Guild of Heroines of the Crusades in First Annual Session Unique Concert-St. Paul Church-Sept. 14th Nothing Seen Like it Before-Come Dr. Moton Makes Forceful Address Special to the Bystander: Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 19.—Before a large and appreciative audience which filled the Academy of Music here last night, Dr. Robert B. Moton, principal of Tonguee Institute, and president of the National Negro Organizations, delivered the annual address of the league, which opened a three days' session beginning yesterday morning at the Dunbar theater. Recounting the achievements of the league under the leadership of its founder and first president, the late Dr. Moton, the first president, achievements still greater achievements, if the officers and members "keep their heads level" and their "feet on the ground". Dr. Moton proposed an affiliation of the league with other strong Negro organizations in order that the work which is being done by the several organizations may not be suppressed, but that all may be included in the work to help bring to America the full fruits of democracy for every race and group of people in the country. Other proposals outlined by Dr. Moton were: a plan to enlarger larger and more sustained support for Negro newspapers and a co-operative plan to aid worthy businesses with supported Negro business enterprises with capital for development and expansion. "The League," said Dr. Moton, enters upon a new era of usefulness and power, and our opportunities for service to our race and to the country are unlimited, if we keep our feet on the ground and our heads level. And what happens if we do not hope it will always remain a dignified, respected organization; that it will always stand for the highest and best in the race and in the country; that it will always throw the weight of its influence against all forms of wrong and injustice; and that it shall ask or the Negro not pity nor yet charity, but a white man and a black man. Today it asks for the rights or privileges not enjoyed by other worthy citizens; but it does ask and will continue to ask that Negroes, to the same degree as others, shall share the blessings and privileges of American citizenship in every line of human endeavor—no more, no less. Mrs. Emeralie Cash, former manager of the Bystander is spending her vacation in Canada. She left Friday evening and will be gone several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bailey and Mr. J. G.

Mississippi Mayor Makes Precedent Causes Banner to be Suspended Over Main Street of City Urging Co-operation of Both Races in Meeting Acute Situation. Canton, Miss., Aug. 5.—An unusual insignia that has never been seen in any southern city and in fact no city in the United States has cases of Canton today. The insignia reads "white and colored people; let's come together for the best interest of all." The move that is being made to bring a better understanding between the races is a result of the large exodus of Negroes from the state to northern cities. It is said that the State Department is collecting half of its colored population as the result of mob violence and that labor is at a premium for the farms and other occupations. This fact has caused the leading white people of the state to openly condemn the mal-treatment of the Negroes in Mississippi and a move is on to work for harmony among the statistics gathered at the beginning of 2000. Negroes have left the state and each train is carrying loads to other sections. It is said that unless the exodus is stopped that the state will be unable to move the crop that has been made next fall. Another move that is being made to show the Negroes a state that they can live with is that the state is that a large number of cities are preparing to build better school for the Negro children. Chamberlain's Colic and Disarrhoea This is unquestionably one of the most successful medicines in use for bowel complaints. A few doses of it will cure an ordinary attack of diarrhoea. It has been used in nine epidemics of dysentery with perfect success. It can always be depended upon to give prompt relief in cases of colic and cholera morbus. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take. Every family should keep this remedy at hand—Adv. (Special to Bystander.)

Hampton Alumni Gives $2.500 Scholarship Honor Miss Mary P. Mackie; Also Pledge $2,706 for Booker T. Washington Scholarship. Hampton, Va., Aug. 12—The members of the Hampton Institute Alumni association at their final meeting in hall subscribed in cash and pledges, within a half an hour, $2,700. Of this amount, $2,500 will be given to Hampton institute to establish a permanent scholarship in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, who was graduated in 1875 and who founded Tuskegee institute in 1881. William M. Reid of Portsmouth, Va., president of the association, presented James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton institute a cheek for $2,500—the gift of the association for the Mary P.-Mackie scholarship," in memory and honor of the teacher who helped so largely in the training of Dr. Washington. The Hampton Institute Alumni association, which was founded in 1878 has already given Hampton institute two permanent $2,500 scholarships in honor of Samuel O. Armstrong and Dr. Hollis B. Prissell. The campaign for scholarship funds will continue. Dr. Gregg gave a summary of the schools financial condition and outlined the revised courses which Hampford institute will offer students for enlarged training in the fields of home teaching, home economics, work agriculture, trade work, and business. He described briefly the work of the summer school and conferences for ministers and farmers. "Many people throughout the country need to know," said Dr. Gregg, "what Negro education means in its all-round sweep." Dr. George E. Haynes of Washington, speaking on "Racial Advancement," declared, "The great demand for cotton fabrics has helped to accelerate land values in the south; that there has been a large movement of Negroes from the farm to the city ever since 1865; that during the great war mechanical and manufacturing pursuits were opened to thousands of Negroes; and that large returns have come to Negro tenants throughout the south." Dr. R. R. Mo- DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1920. son said that "Never before have there been in the south so many strong, equiv- ogeous white people and white organiza- tions that have made up their minds to give the Negro absolute justice." AIR THRILLERS AT FAIR OUTCLASS ALL OTHERS Featured by a sensational act of changing planes in mid-air while flying at a rate of 80 miles an hour, the program of airplane thrillers booked for this year's state fair is being advertised as the most remarkable event of its sort ever brought to Iowa. Two outstanding characters of the aviation world will headline the airplane attractions. Ruth Law, famous throughout the world as a woman aviator, will bring a complete flying circus to the Iowa state fair the week of August 25 to September 8. The chief sensation of the aviation program is to be Al Wilson's act of changing planes in mid air. Wilson leaves the ground in one machine and, when he is several hundred feet above the track, he climbs to the upper wing and leaps through the air to catch the lower wing of another plane which flies above him. He performs a series of acrobatic stunts before coming to the ground again. All this is done while his machine is travelling at a rate of 80 miles an hour. Several other fliers are coming with this organization and opportunity will be given persons wishing to ride in an airplane to book flights with these men. COUNTIES TO COMPETE. Practically every county in Iowa is planning to enter an exhibit in the county competition at the Iowa-State Fair, August 2f-September 8. Increased appropriations from $150 to $200 for each exhibit that qualifies have just been announced by the officials in charge of the fair. The amount of money offered in premiums will be based on the number of county exhibits that score above 500 points out of a possible 1,000. The money will be divided pro rata on the points scored above 500. For the county contest, the state is divided into four districts. Payment of $50 to each county that makes an exhibit scoring over 500 points has been authorized by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation in addition to the money put up by the fair board. HOLD 18-DAY FAIR. As in past years, this year's Iowa State Fair will run a complete ten days according to the announcement of the program given out last week by the fair board. Several years ago the fair management found it impossible to accommodate all the crowds in seven days. Since the first ten-day fair was established the attendance has continued to grow until officials say that it now seems likely the time will be extended to two weeks within a year or two. The main events this year will open Friday, August 27, Auto Race Day, the first two days of the fair being devoted to preparation. FREE CIRCUS AT FAIR. Everything from clowns to oriental jugglers is included in the list of free circus attractions which are advertised for this year's state fair. The list of circus acts shows that the fair board has obtained some of the best talent from the biggest circults in the country for this year's exposition. The chief attractions will include acrobats, jugglers, wrestlers, oriental troupes, etc. The free circus will be put on every day of the fair in front of the grandstand. NOTED BAND COMING The chief attraction on the musical program of this year's state fair will be Thaviv's Band and International Ballet. This band has won a national reputation as a concert unit and was one of the big drawing cards of last year's state fair. ST. JOE. MO.

C., Aug. 19—Most people know that San Domingo is a little black island republic, but few people know that it has been ruled by the United States government during the last few years. Because of continued insurrections in the island the U. S. contrary to its policy toward these republics during the last eight marines, the island is a single U. S. marine to the island with authority to take charge of the government—military occupation. In spite of many unfair practices that these marines have adopted in dealing with the natives, the government is now on its feet according to a report of the governor, Bear Admiral Thomas Snowden: The military government has set the conditions available to all of good government, free from graft, giving a square deal to all, an administration above reproach," he reported. Internal revenue collections have increased from $700,000 annually before the occupation to approximately $3,500,000 last year with prospects of a million dollars more this year, the summary said. Certain taxes bearing heavily on the poor have been eliminated and the floating debts has been liquidated and indications are that the $200,000 loan of 1908 will be paid off by 1925, more than thirty years before maturity, the governor reported. Much graft, dishonesty and inefficiency in government offices has gone toward sanitary arrangements, the report said. Special attention has been given educational facilities. Improvements in the highway system, the postoffice department and the harbors, the report said. If the United States had the nerve to apply the same doctrine and practiceto western continent would be considerably more tranquil than heretofore. Mrs. Essex Allen is in Kansas City this week.

There is a law in the state of Illinois that provides for separate schools for the white and colored people, however in southern Illinois, the school system in the grammar school department, that is up to and including the Eighth grade, follows the separate school idea. After the Eighth grade, both races attend the High school together. It is not in any way advocating or criticising the situation. I am simply criticising the facts as they are, having been requested to do this by the "Bystander." If a colored family lives on the opposite side of the town from the colored school, the children below the Ninth grade of the public school system must attend the colored school. Hereof the building for the colored school has not been as good as the white school buildings, but the new buildings being constructed are in every way modern and up-to-date buildings, just like the new white school buildings. The colored teachers receive the same salary as the white teachers and have the same teaching assistant. The superintendent's office along with and at the same time as the white teachers have their meetings. Our people have not accepted this situation complacently, they have protested and fought, but have been unable to change the situation. The general white sentiment seems to be in favor of it. I think, refusing to just accept the situation without protesting has helped at least in keeping the school for our people up to the standard of the others. Graduates His Mother Braxton, Miss., Aug. 19.—The word commencement always brings to the mind, music and flowers and oratory, and the power of the Brew Wort, and his school have given it a new meaning. Along with music and flowers and oratory, he has added the clang of the anvil, the pounding of the gasoline engine, the ring of the hammer Thoroughly Practical The boys and girls who graduated, not only delivered their graduation speeches but demonstrated them at the same time. One boy made a batch of cement and formed a block while talking, another welded a tire for a wheel making sparks fly all over the chapel. A girl made up a batch of bread and baked it, another measured a girl and cut and paste it while the audience watching the break baker and dressmaker, another girl demonstrated many practical and useful articles the new rural school teacher is required to make. Mother Wins Diploma The climax of the commencement was when the aged mother of Principal Jones came forth and made a broom on machinery at one end of the platform on the lawn. She sounded the audience several different kinds of brooms she had been required to make in order to complete the course. The local white friends and throngs of colored people burst into enthusiastic applause when Principal Jones present the other graduates.—Charles City Daily Press, June 22, 1920.

SHED Secretary and Treasurer EDITORIALS. Elsewhere in these columns may be found an an interesting interview given by a young teacher from southern Illinois to a representative of the Bystander which sets forth typical condition that prevail in the public schools of the states bordering the Mason and Dixon line. It is however, unusual that curriculum and equipment are the same for both races. It will be noted that relentless protest brought this about, and this in Illinois. We want no separate schools in Des Moines. Admit one class of discrimination and another follows. Don't let any begin is the best way to keep out discrimination. One of our young men with an American Legion button on his coat, who while passing the recruiting office, Des Moines was accosted by a agent who inquired if he was going to enlist in the Twenty-fourth or Twenty-fifth infantry. The reply was "No, I was an officer in the world war, so why should I go in one of the regiments as an enlisted man." There is practically nothing in the army for our boys. Secretary Baker want Negroes for pioneer infantry regiments only. These boys are not planning to take a backward step—consequently no enlistment. The power of the Negro newspaper is beginning to be felt as well as heard in the land. Saith the old saw, "Error cannot long provail when truth is left free to combat it." A free press is the strongest safeguard to the liberties of the people that they can have. When you make the Negro papers strong and prosperous you make yourselves strong and prosperous. Don't forget that. This editorial from the New York Amsterdam News expresses the sentiment the Bystander in this community. If the businessman, plan to build big businesses, he must help build a big Bystander. A people can never rise higher than its press. The daily papers in Des Moines are naturally friendly to Gov. Lowden of Illinois, consequently opposed to Mayor Thompson of Chicago. They find difficulty in understanding what force reelected Thompson and keep him high up in political councils of that city. The Bystander ventures to say that the one hundred thousand Negroes in Chicago constitute one wing of that force which stands solidly behind Thompson because he has since taking office the first time fulfilled every requirement as a fair official. The Negroes of Chicago are to be congratulated for standing by Mayor Thompson. I SAW IT IN THE BYSTANDER. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19—Dean L. B. Moore, Ph.D., after twenty years of service as founder and dean of the Teachers' college at Howard university, Washington, D. C., has presented his resignation to President Durkee to take effect September 1, for the purpose of accepting a position as national field executive of the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance corporation. It is regrettable that an able man like Dean Moore should be forced into the insurance game when our universities need all men who are especially trained. This condition of affairs will continue to exist as long as the board of directors of our institutions feel that the places must be filled with some incompetents as head many of the Negro institutions of higher learning. Sol Butler, the Dubuque college athlete, who heretofore made wonderful showings in the tryouts for the Olympic team which is to go from America received an injury to his ankle which caused him to be eliminated in the final contest. This is a regrettable accident in that Butler went from Iowa, and because Howard Drew, another contender from Iowa met the same accidena in earlier tryouts. By 1930, if residences in Iowa City increase with the same rapidity as since 1913 and if the University of Iowa continues its normal healthy growth, it will be necessary for the state of Iowa to provide dormitory facilities at the university for practically 1,000 men and nearly 700 women in addition to dormitories now in use.

The pastor's sermon on the advantage of thinking, 119 Psalm, 59 verse last Sunday evening was one not soon to be forgotten. It was full of the Holy Ghost and a real life lesson to all who heard and will heed. In the evening the Rev Mr. J. B. Bothie preached a wonderful sermon and all felt that they had been greatly benefitted. We are glad to see the smiling faces of Mrs. G. W. Robinson and children, also her father, Mr. Ed Crockett. They report a pleasant visit in Texas and other southern states. The B. Y. P. Ul is very interesting. The Rev. Mr. Bothie's address on last Sunday evening seemed to have left an everlasting impression on all the young hearts. The recital given by the Cosmopolitan Glee club on Tuesday evening, Aug. 17, was a great success. Everyone present enjoyed the evening and assured the president that they would give their cooperation in the future. They are urging all of the churches to send us a few of their best talent to take part in this club. They meet each Tuesday evening at the Corinthian church. The pastor will preach Sunday morning on the subject: "How May I Know That I Am a Christian." The Rev. Taggert of Bethel Baptist church and Deacon H. C. Anderson of Mt. Maria Baptist church and two visiting ladies of Omaha, Neb., motored to Des Moines this week, thinking that association was in progress at Maple Street church. Finding they were a week ahead they returned to Omaha very much disappointed. It is the desire of the pastor that all the delegates from Corinthian be ready to enroll Tuesday morning, Aug. 24 for the beginning of the association at Maple Street Baptist church. OSCEOLA NEWS.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES We are pleased indeed with the interest shown by the grown folk in the two adult classes. The best way to lead people is by example. There is no use sitting at home letting your boy or girl, that he ought to go to Sunday school when you are seldom if ever seen at Sunday school. Boys and girls of today do not readily understand why the thing that is good for them is not good for you. They may listen to what you say, but they pay much more attention to what you do.
