VOL. XXVI NO. 18. The meeting was presided over by the president, Mrs. Charles Banks, and a splendid spirit of harmony and cooperation existed throughout the meeting. Reports of the club work being done throughout the state were read and showed that the interest in club work was not waning as several new clubs had been organized to prepare for the conditions incident to the reconstruction period. All talks were made by many of the women, noticeably among whom were Mesdames L. T. Miller of Yazoo City, Laurence C. Jones of Piney Woods school, Z. T. Hubert of Jackson College, and K. E. Johnson of Prentiss, and many others whom space will not permit. The Executive Board accomplished much in the way of business and the federation enters into the new year upon a more business-like basis with a more definite program which the earnestness of the women showed they mean. With reluctance the federation relinquished all claim to the Old Fols Home of Vicksburg as state work since no OSKALOOSA HAS N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH.

Federation Head Gives Lecture Keokun, Iowa, Oct. 15. — A large and appreciative audience greeted Mrs. Eldora H. Gresham, president of the Colored Women's Federated Clubs of Iowa. The mother, M. E. shurah, last night, the teacher, M. E. shurah, the pieces of the Phyllis Wheatley Rescue and Charity club, Mrs. A. W. Draine acted as mistress of ceremonies, performing well in that cannery. Miss Ruth Johnson and Mrs. Marjorie Hobart instrumental solos for the evening's program, and as usual were well received. After the singing of America by the audience the invocation was delivered by Mrs. Gresham, Garland, bury by Mrs. Gresham, "To We Making the Best of Our Opportunities in Trying to Reach the Top" held the audience anxiously waiting to see what new thought she would bring next. To say that the lecture was appreciative by Mrs. Gresham, "cutting it mildly. The great worth and work of the colored woman was dealt with in its various phases. Morally, socially, religious and politically, the history of the race for the last fifty years was a race and especially for the colored woman was "An equal show for all with special privilege to none." Their sponsor days are over and they must launch out and show themselves mistresses of the situation in every race and especially for the colored woman declared. There were many reasons why the colored woman should vote and she showed why the colored woman should be one hundred per cent in that. The climax came in her tribute to the Negro dead on the battlefields of France. Following the lecture, the Rev. J. H. Garrison made several announcements. The Rev. J. Sterling Moore was invited to lecture and the work of the society, and especially of the president, Mrs. V. Olive Phillips. The offering by far was greater than any one expected. Re- BORN A CHATTEL? NOW RICH, NEGRO, HITS, MAD DREAMS Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 19.—Born a slave, and now reputed to be one of the wealthiest Negroes in the south, David T. Tilghman was married to a brideen wedding anniversary and made it the occasion to give some advice to his race. Beginning on a legacy of $450, left by his former master, Howard now owns a business rated as the fourth largest of its kind in the city and financial institutions readily make loans on his name. COLORED MAN ACQUITTED (By the Associated Negro Press.) Newport News, Va., Oct. 13.—Following deliberations, Newport News jury acquitted George Carson a charge of murder in connection with the killing of Simon Wise Lewis, white seaman from Texas. The affair took place at the colored man's home, and it was alleged by Carr that a friend the fatal hit he was attempting to defend his home from a mob engaged in rioting. Evidence brought out the fact that Lewis had nothing to do with the riot and was merely walking along the avenue when he was killed. According to Professor James, "The Great American Desert" is located under the average man's hat. A word to the wise is sufficient, but an entire library would not convice the otherwise. "Every knock is a boost." may be true as a general proposition; but not when it's in the engine. Negro Votes Gives Ohio New Problem Thousands "Imported" for War Work May Cut Big Figure in the Election (Special to the New York Time Democrat). Columbus, Ohio—Ohio has a race problem, and out of it has grown an issue which is beginning to cut considerable figure in the Gubernatorial campaign in this state. Political observers express a belief that it will weigh even more heavily in the state than it did in the past. The situation is the directly to the great influx of Negroes from the south during the war, when they were "imported" to take the place of white unskilled labor which under war condition has taken advantage of opportunities that were better available to higher wages in the war industries and graduated from the pick and shovel or other branches of less well paid work. Railroads and large industrial plants brought the black workers from the south to the caribou and many thousands of them to Ohio and are apparently going to stay. These black immigrants from the South of the Mason and Dixon line do not begin to compete in intelligence with the Northern Negroes. Many are hired by the Republicanans who qualify for the right to vote, because without except they can be depended upon to vote the "straight" Republican ticket. There were approximately 80,000 Negro votes in the state before the women of the Nineteenth amendment, this vote if not doubled will be very large in excess of what it has been. The Democratic State Committee has taken such a grave view of the situation as to send it out it warns the white voters against the menace of "Negro domination." The most bitter attack in the circular issued by the Democratic State Committee, which has for its heading. "A timely warning to the white men and white women of Ohio, is directed at the black men and women who can candidate for Governor, who was praised in the Cleveland Advocate for appointing twenty-seven Negroes members of the Cleveland police force and for placing many other Negroes in lucrative positions, the annual salaries of the black men and women who jobs from him aggregating $350,000. The circular letter closes with this call: "An ominous cloud has risen on the political horizon which should have the attention and consideration of all the black men and women who are ballots. That cloud is the threat of Negro domination in Ohio. "We see Negro newspapers in the state boasting loudly of the increased balance of power held by their race through the enfranchisement of their women. We find them openly predictive of the future of the state which is insured them by the election of the Republican candidate. "Men and women of Ohio rally to the ballot box and give such verdict as will forever rid Ohio of this monster to yourselves and your children, which have been intensified by the fact that Negro was candidate for the nomination of Secretary of State in the Republican primaries and while not successful, got more votes than some of the white candidates. Six Negroes were successful in opposing primaries, where they won nominations for the Ohio assembly. NEGRO ATHLETES IN LIMELIGHT. Lucius Ashley, famed East High and University of South Dakota grider, and former company eleven, of the facturing company eleven, of the Pearsall team to Ankney last sunday. Kept out of the game until two minutes before its close, who remembered his scintillating exhibition in a basketball game, Ashley was given the ball on the first play after entering the contest. He broke through the line off tackle, dodged the secondary defense, stiff-armed a touchdown. His run and score won the game for the De S moins aggregation. Score 7 to 6. Curtis Morton, former North High factor, was a member of the De S moins College eleven, was one of the lending factors in that team's victory over Graeland college at League Park last Friday afternoon. Score 7 to 6. De S moins college, 36; Fredericks, North High's crack half back, thrilled the spectators at Omaha last Saturday when he intercepted a forward pass and raced eighty-five yards for to touchdown. Score: North De S moins High, 21; Central High School of Omaha, 7. Anderson, East High tackle, did not nompany team with aggregation a Joseph. For the same with the Missourians, but he will be in the lineup against Indianola Saturday. Martin, diminutive Ames quarter- back, played another brilliant game for his team Saturday when Ames was defeated by Newton. Negro Education World Prob'e z Philsa-Stokes Fund Reviews Work of Colored Schools. The United States and other nations of the world will have to give more attention to the education of the Negro in the future than they have in the past. In the ten years report of the Philsa-Stokes Fund of New York City, just issued. Reviewing the survey of colored schools in the United States conducted by the fund in co-operation with the United States Bureau of Educational Statistics, it is probably the most significant effort ever made by a white group powerful in number, wealth, education and experience to develop an educational system for and by a black group, differing in origin and type and only recently introduced to the school system shows that the proximity of such varied groups in the past has usually resulted either in the destruction or the enslavement of the weaker or smaller group. The survey of Negro education is an answer to the world challenge "How's America democracy to meet this test of its wisdom and idealism? Will the people of the United States work out a educational policy that will inspire the majority of the more real sense of interresponsibility." Part of World Responsibility, "The survey, begun in 1913 with no dream of the complications and responsibilities that have been developed by the World War, now has increased sig- nature of what to do and where to work in race relations and in the education of peoples handicapped by causes within or without the group. The Round Table, a quarterly review of the Brit- lamic empire, in the issue of December, 1918, has been a source of much to ask that in this crisis of human destiny America shall forget to think of herself and think rather of those infinitely wider interests to vindicate which she has sent 2,000,000 Americans to work for, so has saved freedom, for mankind." "The answer to this dramatic question is in the League of Nations and the arrangement for mandatories which the United States is morally bound to human betterment and in world peace. "When this responsibility is placed definitely upon us, the most important contribution we can make both to the League of Nations and to the mandates opposing it is to us to see that the educational system of countries concerned are adopted to the needs of the people. Hitherto peace conferences and international negotiations have been concerned with government machinery for tax collecting, policing, and boundary lines to the exigencies of educational provisions that prepare the people to use the opportunities provided for them." The report finds that, while remarkably constructive achievements, have been carried out by New York in the whole the colored schools in the United States are poorly supported and equipped for the work that needs to be done. Jones is now in Africa making a study of African missions schools for a number of denominational boards. Slater, greatest lineman in the history of Iowa football, proved invincible in the Iowa university, Chicago university game played Saturday in the university's exhibition witnessed Slater's exhibition are boasting him for an All-American honors. Calloway, the Negro star of Columbia university football team has been moved over from right guard to tackle to fill in the left guard. The giant is one of the Blue and White's best line men. Bud Turner, who played tackle at Northwestern university in 1919, has been the most important of the game on account of injuries. Reports, however, state that his knee is mending rapidly and there is hope that the giant end will be in the Purple line. He will with Indiana university this week end. (G. O. P. BATTLE HYM.

THE BEST Advertising Medium to Reach the Colored People Price Five Cents THE BROOKLYN PRESS MR. EARL BANKS, EXAMPLE OF A CLIMBER (By R. D. Durr.) Yes I say a "climber!" Earl Banks, Manager and half owner of The New LINCOLN THEATRE, that is worth $10,000 and which he states can't be bought for $15,000, is a concrete example of what a colored man can accomplish if he has the determination to do something worthwhile. Mr. Banks started out in life as an ordinary "floor moper" but he didn't like the idea of staying in the same old rut for life" so, he tied his ambitions to the sun, kept dreaming, building castles, although some of these dreams and plans were broken-up by misfortunes he kept plodding on. Today he is part owner and manager of the only colored theatre in the northwest. Every colored man of Des Moines should be proud to know that at last we can go to a movie without hearing "Will you folks take a seat UP THERE, or colored people in that corner." These are many other common phrases are nothing but the highest interpretation "segregation" and discrimination. Let the colored citizens of Des Moines go shouting thirteen thousand strong to THE LINCOLN THEATRE. ATTENTION!

Uzman Chemical Building, Corner of Seventh and Mulberry streets, Boston, MA 02116 The Bryantander has one chief purpose in view of the restoration of the Republican party to the control of national affairs; in the belief that this will mean a service to the highest and best interests of the American people. The achievement of that end is in sight. On next Tuesday, November 2 it now seems assured, that the people will summon the Republican party to the national responsibility in both the legislative and executive branches of government. The succeeding four years will be among the most important in American history, therefore let every reader of this paper vote for the candidates who represent Republicanism and Americanism. Senator Cummins should be returned to the United States Senate, Mr. Cummins is recognized as one of the greatest men of the senate, and it would be almost a cammity for the distinguished senator to be retired at this time. In the event of the election of a Republican President, the co-operation of a friendly Congress is necessary if the progressive and constructive policies of the Republican party are to be carried out. With Nate Kendall, John Hammill, Capt. Glenn C. Haynes, Capt. Ben Gibson, Walter C. Ramsay and Wm. Burbank among the nominees, the republican state ticket this year looks to be the strongest state ticket presented in years for the candidates representing the highest of the state, and no voter who has the welfare of the great commonwealth of Iowa at heart will fail to cast a vote for Kendall, Hammill, Ramsay, Haynes, Burbank, Gibon, Woodruff, Weaver, DeGraft, Faville and Arthur; and C. C. Dowell for Congress; Hauge and Weaver for the Legislature; Thompson and Weaver for the District Court and the following county officers; G. W. Rhodes, Auditor; Ernest B. Bennett, Treasurer; A. E. Mahan, Clerk of District Court; Chas. Severale, Sheriff; George B. Hopburn, Recorder; Arthur G. Rippey, Attorney, and Guy E. Cliff, Coroner. Theodore Boevelt's birthday anniversary was celebrated yesterday Wednesday, Oct. 27, in a spontaneous exhilaration in which most Americans hold Believe in the memory of his Americanism. In February these Americans will celebrate the birth anniversary of two other Americans - Washington and Lincoln - and these days will have recognition by statute. These days are legal holidays. Boevelt's day should be a day for age, and Americans recognize the sentiment which real Americans have for him and for the meanings attached to his name, his acts, and his ideas. Washington is a symbol of our freedom. Lincoln is a symbol of our unity in territory. Roosevelt is a symbol of our freedom and unity in purpose and determination. These three Americans lived and worked when their characteristics were most needed by their nation. Each gave to the national need the supreme qualities which the need required. Roosevelt, physically dead, is spiritually alive, alive as an American genius when factors in our national life threaten us to nationalism which is national, strength. His influence pervades and is a tonic to the nation. He was wholesome, strong, courageous, and invigorating. Testimonies of our subscriptor to the nation made valuable to his nation would be a national holiday on the anniversary of his birth. We may not be fully conscious of the growing elements of weakness in our national fiber. They are insidious, and instincts, to desires and aspirations which people have for the good of the people everywhere. Nationalism, which is a part of man's spirituality, has been damned as a part of his egotistic grossness. It has been damned as a part of his stupid, base nature, to be eradicated for the better influence, to make way for the better day when universal brotherhood would be the stimulus of human action. In the altruistic desire for internationalism the American nationality which is of highest value to Americans, can be weakened. We be love that American nationalism is the highest aspect of human devotion to ideas'. It cannot be weakened without weakening the cause and prospects of these ideals. As American nationalism is intense, the cause and prospects of the ideals are bettered. It is one of the real factors in world progress, and it must be a sacrament in the minds of Americans if it is to retain its value. Roosevelt was the prophet of American nationalism. His name is the symbol of courageous and unflinching Americanism. A national holiday on the day of his birth would be a concession of the American nation to its own purposes. EAST HIGH NUMMILATES COLORD PLAYER Many loyal graduates, former students and students were checked at the attitude of the. East Dax Moines High school's principal and athletic officials in heeding the demand of St. Joseph. Me. High school relative to the playing of Anderson, stellar Negro tackle, on the Scarlet and Black eleven. The attitude of the local officials in this instance was so different from that which prevailed during the administration of Mise Mae Goodrell and during the regular games of Law and other football games that the hundreds of citizens who have followed East High teams from the time Beverly Clark, Negro, won honors for himself and games for East High and Kenneth Hamilton acted as captain of the team, that they were amazed to learn that the school much preferred to humiliate one of its own players, and a good one, by keeping him out of the game, than to inform the Missouri school that East High athletic teams were constituted of players eligible from a physical, mental, and moral standpoint, and that the skin did not enter into the athletic requirements. If Anderson continued to play at East High, we hope he will give the school his best service, but under the circumstances Coach Moyer and Principal Burton would be blame if he should give less than his best efforts.

The women of Iowa will have the opportunity of voting on November 2 and vote the straight Republican ticket. Do not start scratching your ballot for it may spell regret in the future. If you want to see the race men and hometown races, you can vote former years. If on the other tickets some candidate may ask you for your support: Tell them you are with them, but be sure and don't tell them your votes are for them and give them a chance to perhaps tell you after the election they are sorry, but hope you do not see them get what you ask for. Do not send a Republican president to the capital, and give him no Republican congress. I hope every colored woman 21 years of age will register and go to the polls on the day of election, and cast your vote showing the women of the race are one hundred per cent American and stand for justice and right to all. Mrs. Fred H. Gresham, President Iowa Federation Colored Women Clubs. THE GOVERNORSHIP CONTEST Editor Bystander: Having resided and voted in Polk county for nearly twenty years, prior to which time I resided in the same town and practiced the same profession with Hon. N. E. Kendall, Republican Candidate for Governor, I beg space enough in the columns of your paper to say just a word to the voters of Jolk county concerning Mr. Kendall's record on the Negro question during these more than twenty years that I have known him. To begin with he was attorney on the other side of the first case that came into my hands after I opened my office in Albia and while he neglected no duty to elent, the Colored Cornet Band of Hiltons, the Colored奏奏 to me his opponent in the settlement of this my first case. By a very peculiar coincidence he was associated with me in the trial of the first case that I ever conducted before a jury; and ably assisted me in securing a verdict of assauln and battles against the bandleader man with a bullet which he carried to his grave. After I removed to Polk county, Mr. Kendall, then, as now, a resident of Monroe county was elected a member of the state legislature and became a candidate for Speaker of the 32nd General Assembly and I decided to become a candidate for File Clerk in the House over which he sought to preside; for this reason, he was his unqualified written endorsement by the means of which I secured a similar endorsement from a majority of the Republican members. Later on he was elected Representative in the U. S. Congress and was the first member of that body to introduce and champion a bill demanding the reduction of the representation of all those states that have disbanded each other. He was a Negro woman in Iowa remembers that the fact that he was living temporarily in the South and a member of the highest legislative body in the Nation did not deter Congressman Kendall, whom we out here in Iowa call "Nate" from giving a southern "cracker", a good cuffing on one of the principal boules of the nation's football ball, he had kicked into the gutter a basket of clean laundry that an old Negro wo- THE REPUBLICATION TICKET this year offers you-- A Republican Congress, and A Republican Legislature, to work with A Republican President, and A Republican Governor It is your duty as an AMERICAN CITIZEN to go to the polls, and take at least one other person with you, EARLY Tuesday morning, Nov. 2nd, and to vote for the only party which stands unreservedly for AMERICA FIRST. Make no Mistake. Vote the ticket. CHARLES A. RAWSON, Chairman Republican State Central Committee man was carrying home to its owners while about this same time Mr. Clyde L. Herring whom Polk County Democrat would have you support because being a member of the "Town Association of Men Opposed to Women Suffrage," and giving as his reason for so doing that while he would like for his wife to have the ballot he was opposed to the enfranchisement of the unmarried, ignored women of the women which latter class your mother and my mother belonged. But aside from all this, I am sure no Polk County Negro wants to throw his vote away; and I have it direct from a member of the Polk County Central Committee of Mr. Herring's own Party that they have given up all hope of electing Mr. Herring; but simply want to give him a big vote in Iowa and conduct a large business in which he employs a large number of men, some of whom. I understand, are Negroes; and, I do not blame any such for wearing "Herring" badges; but to all such let me say in conclusion when you go into your booth just put on (G) in the circle at the top of the column that says "REPUBLI-CAN" and you will win. We all tell him that will win. We all his friend, and will also have cast it for Nate Kendall of Albia, the man who every Democrat in Iowa knows is going to be the next Governor.
