BIG CROWD HEARS SIMMONS SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN DESMOINES The best advertising medium, to reach the colored population of the northwest. XXVI NO. 16. BIG Simmons Up To His Usual Form HARVEY INGHAM, EDITOR OF THE REGISTER AND TRIBUNE, IN-TRODUCES SPEAKER. Col. Rosace C. Simmons, noted lecturer and orator delivered one of his capable addresses at the Auditorium on Tuesday, Octo. 12, 1920. Mr. Simmons was brought here—as one speaker said—for the purpose of giving impetus to the K. of P. drive for a thousand new men and a thousand women for the Court of Calanthe. George H. Woodson, in a few well chosen remarks introduced Harvey Ingham, the registrar. Registered Vulture who said that it was fororguring that more white people could not hear Simmons because they should know the type of Negro speakers who grace these audiences as well as what they say. Simmons began his address by complimenting Mr. Ingham for his continued good feeling toward the Negro and admonished the audience to show their appreciation by buying homes and being good citizens. The speaker took occasion to rap "Colonel" Ballou, President Wilson, the League of Nations, the treatment recorded Negro soldiers in France and in fact, every person or agency which sponsored ideas deserving of the Negro prize, the shortcomings, the speaker said he loved the American white man because he wrote the constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. HIS VISIT TO FRANCE. Colonel Simmons said that his last address before leaving for France was delivered in Des from the late Col. Roosevelt which stated that Simmons was the only man who could speak for all the American people. The speaker told of having met famous statesmen from Italy, Greece, Venezuela and other countries who were surprised that the American Negro could even read and write. At Neice a black permanent officer of the day was found in command of French troops—not black troops. Colonel Simmons told his audience that he would be the last person to advice colored people to go to Africa, but on the other hand begged them to remain in America—the country, where they were born and did not come to; where they started and others came to great success on earth. As much Roosevelt and many remarkable things to say according to his version of the matter. Booker T. Washington has replaced St. Peter at the Holy Gates because it was he who let Theodore Roosevelt in. Simmons spoke for two hours and characteristic of him, his audience was alert during the whole time. Des Moines always welcomes him. VICTORY IN THE COURTS. Little Edna Lee, who several weeks ago was accused of stealing a watch by Mrs. A. Boamer (white) arrested and kept in jail for about 48 hours without bail and without any charge being filed, sued for $1,000 damages for malicious prosecution. The Lee case was pushed very hard by Attorneys John L. Thompson and Geo. H. Woodson. An able white lawyer defended Mrs. Boamer. The jury brought in a verdict for $100 and cast for Miss Lee a great victory for Thompson and Woodson. Chapped skin whether on the hands or face may be relieved in one night by applying Chamberlain's Salve. It is also unequaled for sore nipples, burns and scalds.

An American soldier of color, near Pont-A-Mousson, France said to Colonel Simmons one day, "Colonel when we get back home I guess it will be our fate to be forgotten. On Thanksgiving day of this year, the black boy, who wandered whether his buddies were to be forgotten, will, according to present plans, know that Roscee Simmons has not forgotten the darker Americans who donned the "O. D." A reunion of the Ninety-Second division, and all the colored soldiers in the great World War is to be held in St. Louis on Thanksgiving day and for the two days following. The call for this great gathering of ex-soldiers will be issued next week and tentative program outlined, Col. Simmons, as president of the Lincoln League of America, will issue the call this week and at the same time a tentative program will be outlined. A MESSAGE TO COLORED FORMER SERVICEMEN (By Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, special representative colored soldiers and sailors war risk bureau, Washington, D. C.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 2,—Now that the insurance business in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is current, assurance is made that colored former servicemen or relatives and friends who write to this office will receive prompt and authentic replies. It is said that the colored veterans of the recent war who carried government life insurance while in the service may reinstate the same by forwarding two monthly premiums and a satisfactory statement to the effect that they are in as good health as they were at the time of their discharge from the service. This may be done any time within eighteen months from the date of discharge. Once a man should never be without life insurance protection, it is advisable to former service men to reclaim their valuable government life insurance at once. A new law has made government life insurance exceptionally attractive by enlarging the list of permitted beneficiaries to include parent, grandparent, stepparent, parent through adoption, wife or husband, child, grandchild, stepchild, adopted child, brother, sister, halfbrother, brother through adoption, sister through adoption, stepbrother, stepstopher, uncle, eunt, nophe, niece, stepfather, law-liar, a person who stood in the relation of a parent to the insured, for a period of one year or more prior to the insured's enlistment or induction, the children of such parent; parent, grandparent, stepparent or parent through adoption of the insured's wife or husband. It is also supposed that the new law which permits lump sum payments at the option of the insured or converted policies (ordinary life, twenty payment life, thirty-payment life, twenty-year endowment, thirty-year endowment and endowment maturing at the age of 62) will greatly increase the number of conversions into the permanent forms of government insurance. In any additional information desired by colored veterans of the world war concerning insurance, compensation, allotment and allowance may be promptly obtained by directing communications to Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C. Financial Loss Due to Colds. It is estimated that the average man loses three days time each year from inability to work on account of having a cold. Much of this loss can be avoided by treating every cold as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has won a widow reputation and immense sale by its cures of this disease. Trv it.

Dunbar's Wife Dismissed from School Wilmington, Del., Oct. 8.—Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, widow of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar, famous colored poet, was unceremoniously discharged from her position as teacher in the public schools of this city by the Democratic board for having attended the social justice pilgrimage to Marion, Ohio, October 1945. She was among the colored delegation from the east that went to Harding's home; joining the thousands of other women assembling there for the purpose of social welfare, had been warned by her principal that if she attended this meeting she would be dismissed. When she returned and presented herself at the school to take up her duties, she was informed that her services would be taken to Dr. Conwell Banton member of the board, and was informed that the action of the principal would be sustained by the board. Negro Historical Society On the 18th and 19th of November the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will hold its annual meeting at Washington, D. C. This will be a convoitation of teachers throughout the United States now giving attention to research and instruction in this field. The management of the association is endeavoring to make this meeting one of the most representative ever assembled. Among the speakers will be A. B. Hart, professor of history at Harvard university; Franz Boas, professor of ethnology, Columbia university; L. Holingsworth Wood, president of the Urban League; Owala Garlison Villard, officer of the Nation, and Col. Robert T. Kerlin of the Virginia military institute. These addresses will cover every phase of Negro life and history. will its pleasant taste and the prompt renew which it affords. COLORED WOMEN A large number of our women meet in a get-to-gether meeting at the Polk County Republican headquarters at the Florida Dairy, Friday, Oct. 4 at p.m. The meeting was opened by Polk County Chairman, Attorney Ed Thayer who gave a splendid talk and school of instruction on the plans of Mr. Walter S. Brown for women voters, after which an organized club was perfected to be known as the "Women's Victory Republican club." Another splendid meeting held Friday, Oct. 15 at the same place with a large attendance and membership. Some of the best women speakers are always at the meeting. Every colored woman should register Oct. 21, 22 and 23 and vote this fall that may give the Republican party a strong south. Let us help to elect those men who have spoken out boldly against lynching, disfranchisement and discrimination. Women's Victory Republican club of workers will meet Friday 6:30 p.m. m. Oct. 22, Room 103 Polk County Court House, first floor north entrance. Good speakers and instructors will be with us. All members are urged to be present accompanied by several prospective members.

The Finest Colored Theatre West Of Chicago WATCH FOR THE OPENING OF THE Lincoln Theatre With One Of Oscar Micheauxs Great Colored Productions EARL BANKS, Mgr. Many Hear Blind Boone Recitals in Auditorium, Corinthian and Kyles A. M. E. Zion Church. Blind Boone, world noted musician, appeared in three recitals this week, Monday night at the Auditorium, Tuesday at Corinthian Baptist church and Wednesday at Kyles A. M. E. Zion church. True to his reputation he rendered these recitals in a most excellent manner evolving aplause after applause from the audiences. The recital at the Auditorium was under the auspices of the Asbury M. E. church. Mass. to Have National Guard Boston, Mass., Oct. 7.—It is gratifying to learn that as a consequence of the agitation covering several months permission has been given for the formation of a colored battalion, of same by the governor of the state. The Massachusetts Officers Association have been mainly instrumental in bringing this about whilst the representations that have on more than one occasion been made by Attorneys Wilson and Lewis carried their measure of influence in the matter. They brought to bear upon the authorities the fact that the Negro has made good within the last 40 years, and should be given a chance to widen his capabilities. Rumor has it that Captain E. P. Morris has been named for the position of commanding officer of the branch to be formed, that it is understood that such a measure should be open for men rising from the ranks. Such a measure should prove an incentive to recruits to join carly and strive to qualify for commissions. Many of the war vets have signified their intention to become affiliated with the battalion and it is expected that Boston and Cambridge will be the main centers represented. THE AFTERMATH OF THE CHICAGO ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH (By Dr. W. H. Lowry.) The withdrawal of Dr. W. D. Cook, former pastor of the Bethel A M. E. church, Chicago and the subsequent ordination of an independent church by Dr. Cook, a friend of his follower, show signs of weakness and selfishness. Dr. Cook was appointed pastor of St. Paul's A, M. E. church, Des Moines, Iowa. This church is a new edifice, erected at a cost of $65,000 and has a membership of 1,457. Dr. Cook feeling himself humiliated by being removed from Bethel A M. E. church, went into Chicago beat upon the "tom tom" and raced back to the "jungles" and established an independent church. Now, this poly denominational race, that has been wrent asunder time and again by selfish ministers of the gospel who would rule or ruin, must train its youth to recognize a new denomination that has been created without a just cause and is wholly void of sin. We are sorry that Dr. Cook did not have the stamina to stay in the conference and not only fight his way back to his former standing but also capture the highest honor within the gift of the general conference. Rev. W. H. Griffin, former pastor of Hyde park A. M. E. church en route for California for his health, has accepted the appointment as pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church. This Christian gentleman would sacrifice his health to answer the call and go where God would have him go. The church has rallied support at a hundred per cent strong and will repay him a hundred fold for the great sacrifice he is making. If he regains his health he will some day be a bright light in the general conference of the great A. M. E. church. Appoints Commission The Negro Industrial commission appointed by Gov. Gardner to investigate Missouri Negroes' general labor and industrial conditions, educational, housing and home life, health and living conditions with a view to Negro upliftment and betterment along all lines of good productive citizenship, was inducted into its special work today by the governor himself. Mr. O. Bruce, founder and principal of the Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial school, the on-going occasional and "Country Life" office of Missouri and mid-west Negro people, which is located at Dalton, Mo., who also president of the Missouri Negro Farmers' bureau and U. S. Agent-altarge, directing the colored U. S. Farm Agents and their work among Missouri rural colored people, was chosen as chairman of the commission. Principal Bruce responded to the governor's addresses in an eloquent and forceful manner. His address was followed by addresses from the following persons: Prof. J. D. Coleman, Columbia, Mo.; Hon. Geo. Vashon, St. Louis; Mrs. Lucy Blesedoe, St. Louis, Mo., and Prof. Roberete S. Cobb, Cape Girardeau. His commission is looked upon as the most important and helpful step ever taken by any governor in Negro to aid the Negro to self-help, thorough self-representation, and expression in matters wholly and directly concerning colored people, which will also benefit the state. This is the chance the national government has been looking for for years giving the Hawaiians, Porto Ricaans Philipinos—a chance to discover, speak for and represent themselves. This act of justice on the part of Missouri law makers of the fiftieth general assembly and the governor, will greatly cheer and enable people to greater economy, labor and thrift, will spur them to finer appreciation and endeavor for making themselves more productive and useful citizens. MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE. The personnel of this commission is far above the average. It is composed of successful leaders and practical educators, independent tax paying businessmen and land owning intelligent farmers, settled and serious and capable men and women. Its chair, principal N. C. Bruce of the Bates Agricultural and Industrial school, has the good name of being equal in vision and solid works of the late Booker T. Washington, and superior to Washington in educational preparation. He is the Missouri champion corn and crops producer and also holds the world's record in the world's greatest crop—corn. Prof. J. B. Coleman of Columbia, is a business man also grand treasurer of Pythian lodge an ex-ception of the U. S. army and leader and educator among his people. Messrs. Haskell, Maysville, Messrs. Genevieve and E. B. Eucker, St. Joseph, are all land owners, equally successful farmers. Messrs. C. C. Hubbard, Sedalia, and A. C. Maclin, Hannibal, are principals of large public schools. Mrs. John Thomas of Cape Girardeau and Mrs. Bledsoe of St. Louis are both race leaders among the women of Missouri. Mr. Bert Hayden is a contractor of Kirkwood, Mo. Mr. Phillip Jordan of St. Louis has been former Governor Francis' aide for years and has traveled extensively and has studied racial conditions in all parts of the country. Messrs. C. C. Haynes, a large groceryman of Calhoun, is a mayor of C. A. Franklin of Kansas City is one of the leading Missouri newspapermen. Mr. Robert S. Cobb, who was elected secretary with offices and clerical force at the state capitol has been a successful teacher for several years and has also served as an army "Y" secretary in the recent war. The governor has again shown wisdom in selecting this high type of colored men and women for this very necessary and important commission. More Than Enough is Too Much.

White men who start small stores in Negro neighborhoods are very grateful to the Negroes for their patronage but after the store becomes self supporting their gratfulness fade away. Now black is a fast color for Negroes and white is the better it shines. If the Negroes will patronize their own industries one year they will outshine the stars. Mrs. Edward Raifsnider, Wabash, Ind, says that she owes her good health to Chamberlain's Tablets. She suffered from distress after eating and constipation and was completely cured by the use of these tablets. REPUBLICANS OPEN TENTH STREET HEADQUARTERS Upon the recommendation of Attorney S. Joe Brown, member of the Re-Republican Central Committee for committee have opened headquarters in the national congressional church at Tenth and Park streets to be in charge of Rev. Henry McCrane where they have installed a voting machine upon which instructions will be given to all men and women who call at any hour during the day or evening seeking information regarding any of the candidates all the reference how to whichever one whom to contact and how to operate the voting machines. Ladies are especially urged to take advantage of this instruction. NATURE GREATEST ADVERTISER; MUCH PROOF IN HISTORY. Every improvement and every convenience and every comfort that the human race enjoys has come to us because some man more observant and wiser than his fellows has read and interpreted an advertisement of Nature. Do you realize that ever since water was measured that water has been steamed vertising the power of steam. With your knowledge of steam you must wonder every time you see a steam engine work; why any one could have failed to see how steam could be used after Nature had advertised it in so many ways. And yet for ages this power went to waste because no one could read and understand steam and its habit of blowing off tea kettles lids and doing other little tricks like that to call attention to its power was looked upon as a nuisance. SEVERAL WAYS TO MAKE BOSSY SMILE Did you every see a cow smile? Maybe it never occurred to you before that a cow did smile. Yet she is a pleasant creature, generous, given to gentle meditation, and even possibly possessing a sense of humor.

It was a hundred years ago that Herr Hohfield, a teacher of mathematics in Leipzig, found that if he electrified a wire hung in a bottle filled with smoke rapidly cleared, leaving a deposit on the sides and bottom of the bottle. of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take a few dosch of Chamberlain's Hablets and you will soon be all right again.

The Democrats are using every nefarious act obtainable to ward off the magnitude of the defeat which is due them on Nov. 2. Some of our honorable bankers in Des Moines have recently been appointed by our next governor, Hon. N. E. Kendall. So far they have proven one thing, that they themselves are guilty of attempting to bribe the legislature. Senator Harding made a wonderful impression in Des Moines both as a public speaker and a man of presidential calibre. The morning Register of October 7 and 8 stated editorially that he would be elected. The editor is so much in love with the league of nations that a statement of this kind does to him what President Wilson says to remove Article X would do to the league of nations. In a speech in Oklahoma on Saturday Harding hated the president because he did not tell the south as he did the north, the Negro is entitled to and should enjoy the same rights and protection under the law as any other American citizen. When the senator takes office on March 4, 1921, he will find a fertile field to put this doctrine into practice almost under the dome of the capitol and the roof of the White House. There never was a time in our history when we need to be as wide awake as today. Every ounce of justice and recognition that has come to the colored mankind must be added to the Republican party. Years ago Frederick Douglass said: "The Republican Party is the Ship, all else the Sea," it is more true today than yesterday for we have found that there is absolutely nothing to be hoped for or expected from the Democratic party. We must four years the Democratic party has used every means to humiliate and take from the Negro what little recognition he had gained. The Democratic record stands for itself. You know it. It does not have to be repeated. The Democratic party has always been against the Negro. The party is controlled by the south, anybody with an ounce of brains knows what that means. Not only does the deeds of the Democratic prove that they are against the American, but their words bear witness. Their leading spokesman and newspapers, speak out boldly against any recognition being given the colored man.

Ivived not later than Tuesday of each cratic congress—for what! To carry out his policies. Does a Republican president need a Republican congress? He will most certainly need a Republican congress to co-operate with him. If we in Iowa, do not be careful Iowa will have a Democratic senator and a staunch Republican, Senator A. B. Cummins, wil lbe defeated. Don't be deceived by the labor organizations and others who are not for Cummings or the Republican party. We cannot afford to let a Democratic senator represent Iowa. Cummins always votes right when Human rights are in jeopardy. Regardless as to what any labor organization says about him, remember the colored man in the south gets plenty to eat and wear, but is not satisfied because the Democratic party will not give him Human Rights—above labor organization and everything else is Human Rights—do not vote for Porter for United States Senator, he is a Demosary to say to put a colored man on his sary to say to put a colored man n his guard. Don't trade our Iowa birthright for a mess of potage. Help make the United States senate Republican. Vote for Senator Albert B. Cummins, the choice of the Republican party in Iowa. --- FINE ARTS NE PICTURES, POST CARDS DO Special prices given to business dars.

Southern states have absolutely refused to grant charters to colored posts in Mississippi, Louisiana and other southern states. National organizer has written Major Joel E. Spingarn that it is useless to make protest to national organization. It is highly essential that a clause be added to national constitution providing that protest to any department organization on the grounds of race, creed or color. Knowing your record in world war and since, we rely on you to see that this provision is submitted and adopted. Fearing a break in the ranks of the national organization, the Legion passed this question up with a gentleman's agreement with a couple of states which consented to reverse their policy of excluding Negro posts. The subject will come up again and eventually receive the endorsement of the national organization. There is the reason why the colored ex-service men in Des Moines will not desert the G. O. P. and vote for Chaplain Robb for sheriff of Polk county, Iowa. Until the Legion is strong enough to protect him from the ravages of the Democratic machine, the Negro must adhere to those who are aligned with the machine who can and will.

Clean mouths are very essential to good health. ‘The best time to bogin to take enre of the mouth is during infancy. Filthy mouths are responsible for thousands of diseased and enlarged tonsils and ado- noids in childsen. Filthy mouths are ‘also responsible for carious teeth. How shall our Qouths be made clean and kept clean? It ean be done through the agepey of the tooth-brush. The mouth should be thoroughly washed be- fore and after each meal. It ix said that the normal mouth contains about fifty: six distinct germs, If the normally clean mouth harbors that number what must be the number harbored ‘by anouths that*are never washed? There arr thousands of people who never have made the acaunintanes of tooth brush and soap, Do you wonder that there are so many ruined stomachs?

Hele ie catia -Cox Wiggles and. Wobbles. ~ BY SCOTT C. BONE. Candidate Cox, recklessly charging that ‘the Republican party had set out to corrupt the electorate by raising a fand of $15,000,000 with which te “buy the presidency,” has been utterly confuted by the facts. Instead, It has been completely established that the goal fixed by Chairman Hays was only one-fifth that amount, or $3,090,000, with con- tributions rigidly Jimited to $1,000, and that never before has a campaign fund been so free from the taint of corporate, sinister or sordid influences. ‘That an overtaxed, overburdened and weary country, paying the cost of incompetence, Incapacity and extravagance in governmental affairs and maladministration at Washington, would welcome relief at any price legit{mately expended may be taken for granted. But only In the wild dreams of €andidate Cox—who stands com- mitted to Wilsonism and the wastefulness of Wilsonism, with everything that Wilsonism typifies and implies—has any such expenditure as Can- didate Cox charged ever been remotely concelved or for a moment con- templated. ‘Even his foremost newspaper champlons—organs‘vt the international banking crowd which favor his candidacy because, with equal rashness, he promises that if elected he will go into the Wilson League of Nations —edltorially admit that his slush fund charges have proven groundless. ‘Candidite Cox's credibility as witness has similarly been damaged by the wet and dry Issue confronting him, Tp .the indispatable proot that the New Jersey, Liquor Dealers’ Association Js appealing for funds to elect him as a “pronounced wet” he replies that the liquor Interests ef Ohio never contributed to any of his campaigns. Yet a sworn statement, signed by the secretary of the Ohio Liquor Dealers’ Association and on file in the secretary of state's office, shows that that orgenization contributed a substantial sum out of its treasury: to the Cox campaign of 1916. ‘And In the face of it all, having withstood for months, In silence, ‘William Jennings Bryan's denunciation of him as a “wet” and unfit to run for president, Candidate Cox, with characteristic audacity, now assures a North Dakota crowd that “I have always voted dry!" Imagine Boss Murphy, Boss Taggart, Boss Brennan and that Youngstown Apostle of Light and Uplift, Ed Moore, contriving the noml- nation at San Francisco of a candidate who had “always voted dry!"
