The appointment of a Negro to the cabinet was urged in a letter sent yesterday to President-elect Warren G. Harding by the Bronx and Manhattan. Non-Partisan citizens union. The letter, which was signed by Eugene McIntosh, president in part follows: "This association hereby desires to request your consideration of a colored man for a member of your cabinet. I realize that to some this request will appear* paradoxical and that to others it may seem expedient for you to appoint a colored man as a member of your official family, but justice knoweth no brother, and who can contend that the Negro by ability, loyalty and sacrifice is not entitled to a place in the council of this nation. "Today the 12,000,000 colored citizens of this country are represented to no position of honor, or emulment in this government! 1. Anti-Lynching—Had introduced in both the House and Senate anti-lynching measures, as well as which it is expected that Congress will allow laws making lynching a federal offense. 2. The Vote—Took the matter of disfranchisement of colored voters in the south before the Committee introduced evidence to prove the denial of the right to vote by terrorization and other means; demanded the fair and impartial enforcement of election laws in the southern states, or the reduction of representation wherever the right to vote is denied. 3. Haiti—American misrule in the black republic of Haiti was brought into the light of pitiless publicity, forcing investigation by the navy department and resulting in the introduction in the Senate and House of bills providing for Congressional investigation. 4. Legal Defense—Defended Arkansas riot victims and had their cases appealed; 6 of the 12 men condemned to death granted new trials on constitutional grounds; 6 charged with chief "conspirator" of these riots freed. Extradition of Tom Ray from Michigan to Georgia fought. Numerous civil rights cases contested by the branches. 5. Ku Klux Klan—A campaign was begun against the revived Ku Klux Klan, eventually put the Klan on the definitive. 6. Publicity—The most formidable weapon for fighting wrong and injustice is publicity.

New Orleans, La., Feb. 16.—The fifty-third session of the Louisiana annual conference, Methodist Episcopal chuch, was held in Mt. Zion church, Rev. B. J. Reddix, pastor, Bishop Robert E. Jones, D.

Joe Brown of this city has just been notified that upon the recommendation of Governor N. E. Kendall, he has been appointed one of the trustees of a national committee of patriotic Negroes who have a charge of the raising of funds for the creation of a three million dollar memorial hall in the city of New York in memory of those Negroes who fought in the recent world war. kmen Di in Non-Par- res The Ap- Man as Mem- nily property amounts to several mil- lions of dollars with a church mem- bership of 80,000 and more than 100,000 Sunday school scholars.

Mass Meeting A Success A large crowd attended the mass meeting last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's A. M. E. church. The meeting was under the auspices of the Tenth Street Center of the Y. W. C. A., and was for the purpose of adding impetus to the big ten day financial drive which opened on Feb. 8. A splendid program consisting of the following numbers was given: "What the Y. W. C. A. Means to Us?" Mrs. Fred Gresham, president of the Iowa Federation of Colored Women's clubs; selection by choir of St. Paul's A. M.

Clarinda, Iowa, Feb. 12.—Otte Baker, one of sixteen women drawn upon the regular court panel in Page county yesterday, is a Negro. It is believed she is the first colored woman to be drawn on a jury in Iowa. --- ```markdown ``` Secretary Baker In Appeal (By the Associated Negro Press.) (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 16.—An appeal to the newspapers of the country to guard against designating as "ex-service men" burglars, holdup men and other criminals without proper investigation, was issued by Secretary Baker. He declared that the expression was becoming increasing common and that in many cases investigation on would prove that the persons referred to had never been identified with the nation's armed forces. "It is popular just now for criminals to plead that they served in the army or navy in the war in the hope of gaining sympathy," Mr. Baker said, "When these people are so styled there is a great injustice done by men who may properly pride themselves in being 'ex-service men.'" Colored Americans through the country are interested in this appeal from Secretary Baker for the reason that it eminently shows the objectionable psychology of always labeling everything with which a colored person is connected as "Negro" just as the "ex-service man" newspaper statements bring reproach upon the soldiers. Dr. Fishback In Revival Here Des Moines people are being given the opportunity this week of hearing the Rev. Mr. Fishback of Wichita, Kansas, who is here to assist the Rev. Geo. W. Robinson in revival meetings at the Corinthian Baptist church, Fifteenth and Linden streets. * The Rev. Mr. Fishback, during recent years has become widely known in the middle west as an evangelist and it is expected that his efforts in the capital city will be fruitful of results. Large crowds are attending the meetings, which are held nightly, beginning at 8 o'clock, and already several have indicated a desire to accept Christ. Came To Lynch Negro; Remain to Pray with Him Clyde, Ga., Feb. 15.—Negro possiemen who came to shoot remained to pray here last night at their prisoner's call. That ended plans for a lynching. Israel Waters, Negro, charged with having attacked a school girl of his own race was sent to jail. He had been captured by a posse of whites and Negroes. The whites gave Waters to the Negroes for punishment. He said today he had been stood up to be shot. Then he asked "the brethren to pray." The mob did. "LOVELESS LOVE BLUES." "Loveless Love Blues," is the title of the latest blues song by W. C.

Johnson of New York City. Since Jan. 1 six photograph companies have made photograph records of "Loveless Love," as the words are a novel construction and the words are a musical piece. The chorus of Loveless Love is written in Spanish tempo and carries a simple melody as beautiful as "Silver Threads Among the Gold." The second chorus is written in jazz tempo and is pronounced by all who hear it as an instrument. The pace & Handy Music company enjoys the distinction of being the first to publish a song with the laughing trombone, the first to put over a song with Maude Smith on the records, and the first to put over a song with the company is doing a pioneer work which the years to come will be pointed to with pride by the members of the race. ```markdown ``` White Man Thrown On Fire Oil Poured on Body of Stranger Found in Louisiana Monroe, La., Feb. 6.—An unidentified white man, nude and dying, his skull crushed and his flesh burned from his waist down, was found today in the woods near here. Believed by local officers to have come here from Houston, Texas, he died without regaining consciousness. Evidence that coal oil had been poured on the body was found and a smouldering fire near where it was found indicated that the man had been thrown on it. Tattoo marks, "W. L." and the name "L. Coleman" on a Houston Texas hat firm in the hat band, were the only marks of identification. PETER H. HARRIS Dr. Griffin Heads Business Men's League On last Thursday evening about thirty citizens of Des Moines, representing the churches, business enterprises, the professional field, contractors and real estate men and women assembled at the cafe on Tenth and Center street for dinner. Several weeks ago this same group of interested men and women discussed the advisability of forming themselves into a permanent organization whose purpose would be, "To unite in one organization all civic, industrial and commercial activities of this community, with various departments or bureaus with one central organization to aid, to encourage and to promote the best interest of the colored citizens of Des Moines and the state of Iowa. Thursday evening this permanent organization was perfected with the following officers: President, Dr. W. H. Griffin, pastor of St. Paul. A. M. E. church; Vice President, E. Tracy Blagburn, of the Blagburn-Shelton Pharmacy; Treasurer, Dr. Winifred Willis, dentist; Secretary, Robert D. Durr, advertising and circulating manager of the Bystander Publishing company. The following bureaues were formed and chairmen of each selected: Organization, Atty. S. Joe Brown; Business, Vivian L. Jones; Public Affairs, Herbert Wright, and the Religious and Womans Bureau. The chairman for the last two bureaues are as follows: Rev. Geo. W. Robinson will serve as chairman of religious bureau and Mrs. J. B. Rush of the woman's department. Des Moines has long felt the need of such an organization and the present work as outlined by this body of prominent citizens, should and will mean a great help to all Negroes of the city regardless of what line of work they are engaged THE BEST Advertising Medium to Reach the Colored People INET es Town Lumber Yard in Georgia. Many Are Hurt by Lumber Sent Flying Through Yard Much Discussion Over Color Line Strikes Large Lumber Yard in Oconee Georgia. Many Are Hurt by Lumber Sent Flying Through Yard Oceanee, Ga., Feb. 10.—One white boy and twenty-five Negroes were killed when a tornado struck here soon after one o'clock this afternoon, seriously injuring the plant of the Cleveland-Oceanee Lumber company, and other property. Between thirty and forty other Negroes were injured by the flying debris. After striking here, the tornado continued toward Augusta, according to reports, and was said to have descended again between Macon and Camak. The Negroes were all employees of the lumber company. The casualty list would have been much larger, it was stated, had it not been for the fact that the storm struck during the noon hour, when scores of the employees had gone to their homes. While the wind's fury centered about the plant of the Cleveland-Oceanee company, the main building, just completed a few weeks ago, was practically unharmed. One of the old buildings was wrecked and fifty dwellings, home of the Negro employees were demolished. About two million feet of lumber stacked in the yards was levelled to the ground. A relief train took the injured to Sandersville and Tennville. The lumber plant was valued at approximately $400,000, but it was stated tonight no estimate could be made of the damaged by the storm. Des Moines Branch Observes Lincoln's Birthday Hon. Benj. J. Gibson, attorney general of Iowa, spoke on the subject "Lincoln" Saturday night before the Des Moines Branch of the National Association of People. In his address Mr. Gibson brought out the salient features of the emancipator's life. He showed how these facts had a bearing upon people's lives in 1921. He advocated using the Lincoln as a guide for personal development. Mr. J. Q. Lindsay, deputy sheriff of Polk county, gave an interesting address dealing with the life and characteristics of Frederick Douglass, first president of the Society. Preceding the address Miss Marvel Blagburn gave a reading; a group of songs by Mrs. Harry Noel and instrumental selections by Miss Ethel Bowmer and Malcolm K. Grifith. The invocation was given by the Rev. W. passion, of Union Congressman church and the benediction by Rev. S. Bates, Mrs. Elbert R. Hall, vice president and Dr. J. A. Jefferson, president of the local chapter, presided. in better homes, better streets and improved sanitary condition in districts where our people live and better and wholesome place of recreation for our boys and girls.

Willard admitted that Wills would at least have an even chance to whip Dempsey and that the world champion should confine his antagonists to the white race. Some boxers find it very convenient to draw the color line when dusky challengers appear dangereous. This policy has been pursued more by heavyweights than by boxers in the other classes. Georges Carpentier didn't object to Jeannette's color when the latter offered to box him in Paris. The Frenchman then was merely a boy, but he not only took Jeannette on but also scored an unexpected knockdown in one of the early rounds. Jeannette's greater ring experience, however, won the bout on scientific points. Ketchel Fought Langford Stanley Ketchel, while holding the middleweight title, consented to mix it up with Sam Langford in a six-round bout at a Philadelphia club. Langford didn't extend himself and let Ketchel stay the limit. The willingness of Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, to put up his hands with colored boxes, is a point worth considering. Leonard says that he fears no challenger. More than thirty years ago a colored player named Grant covered second base for the Buffalo National league club. He was a sentimental fielder and well behaved. But soon the big magnates decided to declare all colored players ineligible, and the rule never has been rescinded. No Ban on Jockeys. There is no ban on colored jockeys in this country, although they are few in number. The Jockey club has granted licenses to colored trainers on numerous occasions, and some of them have saddled important stake winners. There is no color line in Harvard athletics. William H. Lewis, one of the best centers that ever played on a Crimson football eleven, had Negro blood in his veins. Rutgers had a colored end named Robson several years ago, who graduated with honors and a national reputation as a gridiron star. Other colleges have been represented in various branches of sport by Negroes, yet few of the rival institutions have filed protests against them. .

DURR, Circulation-Advertising Manager, The Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. Sunday had a most gratifying effect upon the attendance at the services of the day. The membership was almost present to a person, and there was also a number of new faces in the audience which we were very glad to see. The pastor was in his pulpit morning and evening and brought to his hearers two very inspiring and helpful messages. His morning theme was "Freedom," and in this he connected up his line of thought with the act which immortalizes the great Abraham Lincoln. At the evening service he spoke on the subject of "Walking with God." Superintendent Shelton is putting "teep and ginger" into the Sunday school and enthusiasm was at the high mark. Attendance is growing with the enthusiasm. Visit our Sunday school, and if you are not a member elsewhere join. You will enjoy it and at the same time will be greatly benefited.

Great crowds thronged all services. All available seats were taken. The baptismal service held at Corinthian church was a wonderfully inspirational service. Standing room was at a premium. Twenty-five persons took on Christ in baptism and of these one had been a Catholic, one an Episcopalian, and three Methodists. No other event will quitting baptism. The attendance at Sunday school was at high water mark last Sunday. Next Sunday morning Pastor Griffith's subject will be "The Wheel in the middle of the Wheel." The evening subject, "The Crowning of Our King." ST. PAUL A. M. B. SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES As the balmy breezes from the south blew on our city and the warm rays of the sun gently kissed away the snow and ice, and the birds chirped merrily, the temptation to get out and go somewhere, proved too great for many. Therefore we had a good attendance on the 13th. Patriotic songs were sung and all were instructed in the duties of citizenship. We hope all will learn the golden text of the seventh lesson. Then there will be no question about good citizenship. Some of us seem to have an unconquerable contempt for constituted authority whether in church or state (or anywhere else.) Laws are made to protect the weak and restrain the vicious. A good man has no fear of the law. Lesson VIII—The wise and foolish virgins, Matt 25:1-13 We must not—Watch therefore, for we know neither the day nor the hour wherein the son of man cometh, Matt. 25:13.
