In the absence of Gov. Harding and Lieut. Governor Moore, who were out of the city, Hon. Walter E. Ramsey, secretary of state welcomed the delegates in behalf of the state of Iowa. He was colored people of Iowa were peaceful, and law abiding, and that on that occasion Iowa was proud of them. Mr. Ramsey proceeded to tell the audience the number of good things in which Iowa excelled all other states; that the state had less illiteracy than any other state in the union and that the per capita indebtedness, he said, was much greater. He said Iowa also was proud of the colored people because most of them voted the Republican ticket. Woodson Makes Stirring Address Hon. Geo. H. Woodson was scheduled to welcome the visitors in behalf of the colored citizens of Iowa, but he began his remarks by saying, "When the Governor of Iowa welcomes you to this state that welcome stands for all." Mr. Woodson told of how he had come to love the A. M. E. church when a soldier at Ft. Snelling, Minn., and how he felt that he could welcome the delegates in his own right. He said a man who had not felt different upon crossing the Iowa border was disarranged in his nervous system. Other Welcome Addresses. Dr. J. Alvin Jefferson, who welcomed the visitors in behalf of St. Paul A. M. E. church said he was glad to perform this part because the church was always indicative of the prosperity of a community. Dr. W. D. Cook of Bethel church Chicago, the largest in conference responded to the address of Dr. Jefferson. He said that during the war Des Moines was a great center for training men to fight the battles of the country in which we live, but at present, the men in training were preparing to battle for a cause and Master greater than all countries and nations. He said he was always interested in hearing conference reports but could not help but remember that although the bishop, THE BYSTANDER THE MASTER BUILDER Rev. S. L. Birt came to the pastorate of St. Paul at the close of the Chicago Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September, 1915. He was given this appointment at the hands of Bishop B. F. Lee. He found a thriving congregation of 490 members located in a frame structure at the corner of Second and Center streets. The present membership now numbers 1,133 full members. The present structure was erected at a cost of $65,000 with a present indebtedness of $21,000. Mrs. Reeves collected his quarter, $1,571,800. Total amount collected this year, $7,276,843. Indebtedness, main debt, $21,000; miscellaneous $600,4600 for church extension. Dr. Birt enjoys the respect and confidence of the big business people of the city of Des Moines as well as his own congregation. Dr. Birt is ably assist in his ministry by his good wife who is known and loved for her strong womanly character and Christian fidelity. His five year's sojourn in Des Moines has been a benediction to the city of Des Moines. presiding elder and pastor were entitled to credit for their splendid showing, in final analysis, the laborer and workwoman were the ones who actually worked for and gave the dollars. Dr. J. W. Henderson of the institutional church, Chicago. His speech, short but forceful said the delegates knew without all the splendid oratory that his people, that they were welcome because the people are given positive proof and actions speak louder than words. Dr. Timothy Reeves of St. Stevens, Chicago, known as the logician of the conference interested the audience with his analysis of Secretary Ramsey's speech. He lived up to his reputation, by showing his audience that Mr. Ramsey could well afford to welcome this gathering because it represented something the world needed in order to make peace among nations—Christianity. The audience then retired to the dining room for refreshments. ing to Mrs. Portia Washington Pittman, daughter of Booker T. Washington, the great Negro leader. "Negroes are now earning more than ever before in their lives," continued Mrs. Pittman, who is the wife of a Dallas architect, "They should save and invest it in government securities so that it will comfort them and give them the things they need when old age or sickness or disaster overtakes them. The War Savings stamps and treasury savings certificates of the government are absolutely safe investments and make their owners better citizens." Hardin The time is too early for predictions as to appointments, changes or transfers outside the conference. Minneapolis is looked upon as a strong contender for the job, but a complete report of the entire conference will be published next week. Buy Government Now is the time of all others for members of the Negro. race to have their money and invest it where it will be safe and profitable to them, accord- Harding's Creed for Humanit Every right and every privilege of Citizenship that the Colored American Enjoys Came Through the Republican Party. Every Reprisal Against His Citizenship, Every Constitutional Privilege He Has Lost Was Taken By the Democratic Party. The Democratic party, its platform and its candidates have all ignored the twelve millions of colored citizens, who defended the flag in time of war and loaned to the Government one-fifth of their wealth. Thousands of colored people who have moved into Northern labor centers from the Democratic South, CAN VOTE, provided they hold the qualifications of other men. The fact that they are colored does not interfere. Tell them of this privilege, and direct them to their county or city chairman of the Republican organization, who will be glad to give them full instructions. ing to Mrs. Portia Washington Pittman, daughter of Booker T. Washington, the great Negro leader. "Negroes are now earning more than ever before in their lives," continued Mrs. Pittman, who is the wife of a Dallas architect, "They should save and invest it in government securities so that it will comfort them and give them the things they so much need when old age or stinkness or disaster overtakes them. The War Savings stamps and treasury savings certificates of the government are absolutely safe investments and make their owners better citizens." Harding Senator WARREN G. HARDING A VOTE FOR Tuskegee Begins Session Tuskegee Institute, Sept. 20.—Sept. 14 marked the beginning of the fortieth session of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute. The registrar of the institute and his co-workers were busy five days before school opened registering new students. Each day furnished its quota of new arrivals and the records on the first day of the school year showed that some 1,900 students had been enrolled. This is the first time for the college to roll out the history of the institute. Notwithstanding this fact the stream of in-coming students is yet steady. Every iota of space will soon be taken up. It is also noticeable that many of the new students are qualifying for the advanced classes. Mrs. Brown To Organize Colored Women Mrs. S. Joe Brown, Des Moines club woman, has been named organizer for work among republican colored women of Iowa. Recommended by C. A. Lawson, chairman, republican state central committee, Mrs. Brown has received instructions from Letha C. Fleming, national director of organization of colored women. She is asked to appoint an organizer in each county, that chairman to organize hamlets and towns, and town leaders to organize wards and towns. It is the legacy of the national director that every Iowa woman may be taught in this way. The national organization will send speakers to the large communities to preach the cause of W. G. Harding for president and Calvin Coolidge for vice president. The little church upon the hill, Which dear old father help'd to build; For me, holds forth its wonderful charms, Where one may go, be safe from harm; When but a lad my mother grand, Would gently take me by the hand; Then to the church we'd wend our way, To hear the people sing and pray. I was so young and innocent, I hardly knew just what it meant; But many years have pass'd away, I now recall my childhood joys.

In each of these states the probable Negro vote is larger than the number of votes necessary to swing the state. RACE Women Independent. With reference to the newly enfranchised married women voters, the bulletin says: "Colored women are not going to be as easily handled, nor are they going to submit to disfranchisement as readily as colored men in the past. Their record of protest against prejudice during past years is proof of that fact. The Advancement Association is urging its branches throughout the country to form classes for the training of newly enfranchised women in the duties and privileges of voting. To Speak To His Washington, D. C., Sept. 22—Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson arrived here on Saturday, stopping by on his way to Atlanta, where, on September 22 he is to deliver the Emancipation speech on Morris Brown campus. This heroic return of the colonel is praiseworthy and is but characteristic of the kind of fearless leadership which he has exhibited since the beginning of his marked display of political sagacity and organizing ability at Chicago in June. Lincoln Johnson, during his brief stop here, was most royally entertained by his host o f admiring friends and political well-wishers. Upon his return from Wilmington, where he went to deliver a speech, he will immediately leave for Atlanta, where in addition to the delivery of the Emancipation address, he will further organize and effect the various political units of the G. O. P. faith in Atlanta and in other southern points. U. S. MAKES BIG LIQUOR RAID IN EDWARDS' STATE New Jersey, Adjacent to New York, Gives up Much Wet Goods. New York. 0-Federal prohibi- tion enforcement agents, drafted in this city, Philadelphia and Washington, swoped down on scores of saloons, wholesale liquor dealers and "squawk canies" in cities in Hudson and Essex by night and seized thousands of dollars worth of liquors on search warrants issued within the last week by United States Commission J. A. Mathews in Newark. Enforcement squads up to late Thursday night had acted on fifty-two warrants, including the loads of liquor, valued at between $35,000 and $40,000. Find Rum in Apartment Two men who interfered with them when one force of raiders uncovered $6,00 worth of whiskey in an apartment of a woman above a saloon were arrested. The warrants called for investigation of saloonkeepers and wholesale liquor dealers. The raids were conducted under the supervision of E. H. McGrath from the national prohibition enforcement office in Washington, and were said to be the outcome of the complaint several weeks after the arrest. William Ingenton indent of the Anti Saloon league of New Jersey, to John F. Kramer, national prohibition commissioner. Charge of Violation Wilson charged that the counties in New Jersey adjacent to this city "were as wet as the Atlantic ocean." Wilson supplemented that statement within the last thirty-six hours with a letter to Commissioner Kramer in which he alleged that in Newark alone, which is the county seat of Essex county, there were 866 saloons and "speak easies" flagrantly violating the Volstead law.

JONES Publisher and Editor JOHN W. NELSON Editor BOBERT B. DURR Circulation and Advertising CHAS. M. SHED Secretary and Treasurer Gov. Cox is complaining because the newspapers don't publish his speeches. A man who has something to say can always get unsolicited publicity. The Negroes of several states have placed independent Republican tickets in the field for the purpose of proving to the national organization that claim that the Negro holds the balance of power casts a majority of the vote for Republican candidates in some states. We believe the results will be worth while especially in Maryland where W. Ashley Hawkins is running for United States senator. There is a job for someone in Iowa to show Charles Rawson, the state chairman, that the Negro vote is worth going after. There is not a single Negro on the Republican speakers bureau of Iowa. There are men in the state who would have been employed had Mr. Rawson recommended them. Common sense should teach him that Senator Cummism should vote that can be mustered up consequently if he neglects any event; something is wrong and eventually a new man will propose him. The Republican party headed by Harding and Coolidge stands for equal opportunity of all, and if Mr. Rawson is not in sympathy with his chiefs then he should consider himself ver sona non grata. THE AMERICAN LEGION. Too much promiscuity cannot be given the members of the American Legion as a whole for the straight forward manner in which they have met the great law and order issue whenever occasion demanded. Iowa took the correct stand in the beginning. Last week the Tennessee department passed a strong resolution on the subject. Its annual session and gave recognition generally to the Negro delegates. As a further example of the spirit of this big organization we quote a resolution passed at the Mississippi department meeting. "We regard the so-called Negro problem in Mississippi, and the South generally, as an actual condition and not a mere theory for discussion, agitation and settlement by demagogues and politicians; that we realize the Negro is with us, a part of us, and is here to stay; that he is an important and indispensable factor in our industrial life, and as such is entitled to a square deal, and should be treated with common honesty in all his relations with the white race; that we urge all local posts in this jurisdiction to give this subject close attention and put forth their best efforts for cooperation between the two in order that common welfare may be served."1 Like this like are bound to have influence, first because they come from the biggest organization in the country today, and second because they come from the men who are to be the leaders in the affairs of the nation for the next fifty years. an organizer of the Legion said to number of the ex-service men in a growing community that the Negro ex-mer can no more afford to be of the American Legion as minister in outside a Federation of Labor. No eligible should fail to line growing organization. Sirt leaves St. Paul A. M. mer five years of hard but work. He has accomplished its, a standing memorial to the new church we.

L. I, in a delegate beg to state that the facts in the case were misquoted. In fairness to all concerned and especially our most worthy hostess Mrs. Fred Grisham of Cedar Rapids, she is a headminder woman, the race should be proud of. Now one of the delegates of the Lincoln post preceded the main body by several hours: arriving there he immediately tried to touch the touch pad. After making a search and after much inquiry, being a toal winner, he finally located the post adjutant in a pool hall. Informing him of his mission and making it known that there were five others to follow him, he was sent to a questionable place without the adiant quitting his interesting pool game. As to being refused telephonic connections with us the call came after he left the room, and a member of their post came to her home during our stay. But one of their members attended the convention and then only for a short period of time. We were in Cedar Rapids from Wednesday evening until Friday morning before actual contact was established between us. Having no knowledge of any place having been made by the post, we naturally placed ourselves in Cedar Rapids. Now, I am for the American Legion and all it stands for, but I am a race man first and it is much to be regretted that some of our people continue to be narrow minded and petty jelous to their own detriment. Aware of the fact that we represented the race at large, the hostess considered us visitors of the public at Cedar Rapids and acted accordingly by giving a public reception instead of a private affair as intended by the C. A. Post No. 451 to which we invited them. But the invitation was refused. Let us hope that out of this letter much good will come and a spirit of camaraderie and social cooperation will grow up and flourish in the future. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the market, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital fundamentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as lrage as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity.

As to being refused telephonic connections with us the call came after, we had left the house of our hostess and at no time did any of our hosts during our stay. But one of their members attended the convention and then only for a short period of time. We were in Cedar Rapids from Wednesday evening until Friday morning before actual contact was established between us. Having no knowledge of any plans having been made by the post, we naturally placed ourselves in the hands of our hostess. We naturally American Legion and all it stands for, but I am a race man first and it is much to be regretted that some of our people continue to be narrow minded and petty jolous to their own detriment. Aware of the fact that we represented the race at large, the hostess considered us visitors of the public,ARGO, and our countrymen and affected accordingly by giving a public reception instead of a private affair as intended by the C. A. Post No. 151 to which she invited them. But the invitation was refused. Let us hope that out of this letter much good will come and a spirit of comradeship and social co-operation will grow up and flourish in the future. OUR NEW HOME PENDLETON AVE. ST.

During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the market, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital fundamentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks are serving along all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as lrage as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modern business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity.
