Thayer (white) Magnola Dooley charged with murder in the first degree in the killing of M. J. Bradford was bound over to the Polk county grand jury and held without bail by Hon. J. E. Mershon, judge who tried the case. The case has attracted the attention of practically all of our people because of the popularity of the deceased and at no time during the two days trial was there standing room to be had in the criminal division of the municipal court where the trial was held. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 9.—Principal Robert R. Moton announces that Alfred T. White, who was drowned recently, left the institute $40,000. Mr. White was a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, N.

The aviator was not injured but was placed under arrest pending investigation of the accident. The plane was in charge of Ensign John Walter Alcorn, U. S.

Witnesses of the accident said that Alcorn was going through some stunts when the tail of his machine became entangled in a kite string. Honor Roll Elbert R.

Culpeper, Va., March 3—Wallace Willoughby, 30 years old, white, was arrested by Sheriff J. J. Nash and locked up, charged with the murder of James Robertson, 20 years old, colored, in an argument. Hints of race rioting that followed delayed the arrest. When the murmuring had quieted, Sheriff Nash went to Willoughby's home and found him hiding in a storeroom at the rear of his dwelling. The sheriff also found a still, it is alleged and thirty gallons of "mash." Willoughby submitted to arrest without disturbance. Robertson died at the home of friends. He was stabbed through the left lung in an altercation following an argument with the accused man, who escaped to his home, according to reports. Witnesses said that the white man was drunk and the boy was sober when the crime was committed. 929 Colored Children Enrolled In Des Moines Schools If you have paid your subscription and did not see your name in the Honor Roll call Walnut 899 and ask for Mr. Shedd.

New York, March 6.—Mrs. Ethel Skeete, of 160 Third avenue, Brooklyn has filed suit for $50,000 against Dr. Aloysius Gaffney, of 144 Court street, Brooklyn, a dentist. Mrs. Skeete alleged that her husband, Burtaoon Skeete, fell from the dentist's window on the third floor of the Court street address and died shortly afterward in the Brooklyn hospital from a fracture of the skull. Mrs. Skeete said her husband had been given gas for a tooth extraction, and that when he came out of it, he was not properly guarded. Topic of OUR EX-P OUR EX-PRESIDENT OUR EX-PRESIDENT (By Dr. W. H. Lowry.) A few friends of Woodrow Wilson have American people should immediately do sp for the part he played during the world w conference. It is supposed that they w pass some special measure in honor of Mr. V for George Washington and Abraham Lin has gone so far as to say that Mr. Wilson is A few friends of Woodrow Wilson have an idea that the American people should immediately do special honors to him for the part he played during the world war and at the peace conference. It is supposed that they would have congress pass some special measure in honor of Mr. Wilson as was done for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. One writer has gone so far as to say that Mr. Wilson is as good as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Washington and Lincoln were broad minded and placed implicit confidence in their fellow countrymen. Woodrow Wilson was narrow and selfish. He signed the wishes of the public and distrusted congress and his own cabinet. George Washington declined nomination for the third term while war was yet pending with a foreign country. Woodrow Wilson sought second term upon pretext that he was going to keep this country out of war and then forwarded his war message to congress the day following his inauguration. George Washington was called from his retirement by the voice of the people and placed in command of the American army. If Woodrow Wilson had been positive that he knew his right from his left he would have taken the field, against the will of the people, and led the American army to France. It is a great pity that the overzeolous admirers of Mr. Wilson are trying to prove to the world that he is as great as the immortal Lincoln. At the close of the Civil war Mr. Lincoln laid the burden of this nation at the feet of Congress. At the close of the world war, Mr. Wilson packed up the burden of this country, turned his back upon Congress and betook himself to France with the selfish idea that he could dictate satisfactory terms of peace to the world. Mr. Lincoln sacrificed his life in his effort to preserve this nation. Mr. Wilson sacrificed his health in his attempt to force this nation to accept the covenant of the League of Nations without reservations. What would Wilson have done with men in his cabinet like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, who served in the days of Washington or men like William H. Seward and Edwin M. Stanton who served in the days of Lincoln? William J. Bryan and Robert Lansing can answer this question satisfactory to the world. In dealing with his cabinet Mr. Wilson was as unpopular as John Adams and as contrary as John Tyler. The American people are not in the proper mood to swallow the deeds of Mr. Wilson without making a wry face. His career will have to stand the test of time. He may live to see the people forget, however at his age and on account of his ill health his chances are poor. If he should go, let those who think well of him cherish the good they think he has done, and those who think ill of him bury with his bones the evils they think he has done. Sues Dentist NOSEGRÉGATION SIGNS IN WASHINGTON UNDER THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., March 9.—Col. Henry Lincoln-Johnson states that in accordance with the campaign pledges that all segregation signs in the various departments would be taken down before "sundown on March 4th." He asked for special representatives to bestir themselves and locate some of the said signs. After a long and faithful look, it was discovered that the democrats evidently "smelled a rat," for the "specials" returned without finding a sign anywhere. There are no segregation signs in Washington under the new administration. Gilphin Is Banquet Guest New York, March 7.—Charles Gilip, a Negro star of a successful Broadway theatrical production, was one of the honor guests at a banquet attended by 600 members of the Drama League last night. Some controversy had arisen as to the propriety of his being invited. Gilip was one of the ten persons chosen by the league as those who have done the most during the past year in advancing the act of the theatre. Others were David Belasco, produced; Jacob Ben-Ami, actor; Varesi, actress and writer; Lionel Atwill, actor; Dudley Biggs, director; Fred Stone, comedian; Eugene O'Neill, author; Lee Simpson, scenic artist, and Margaret Severn, dancer. the Week RESIDENT W Wilson have an idea that the initially do special honors to him the world war and at the peace that they would have congress honor of Mr. Wilson as was done obraham Lincoln.

Advancements of Negro Leaders To Be Taught In The Schools Of The South. Advancements of Negro Leaders To Be Taught In The Schools Of The South. Leading educators of both races in the south are interested in the plan of strengthening racial integrity by teaching Negro children something of the history and achievements of their own race. The main obstacle to such a course has been a lack of books suitable for school children of grammar grades. Harcourt, Brace & Howe have just published a book of this kind—The Upward Path, compiled by Mary White Ovington and Myron T. Pritchard, with an introduction by R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee institute. Fifty Negro authors are represented, with biographical notes of each. The quality and tone of the selections are excellent; and some of the names stand high with white lovers of good literature.

Mr. Sheriff, proprietor of the Capitol Bilt Museum company and a former president of the board was appointed last year to the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Edward O'Dea. Mr. Hutchinson, who hails from the south side, served one term on the board from 1913 to 1916 and is now filling out the unexpired term of Ralph Nichols. The Bystander respectfully calls upon the colored people of this community to stand united and firmly be held in the present board members who have been fearlessly battling for right and principal and who have shown themselves to be more fair in the dealings with our people than their predecessors. With a big building program confronting every taxpayer and with the welfare of the nearly 1,000 Negro school children at heart, the Bystander urges that Mrs. MacKinnon, Mr. P. B. Sheriff and Mr. Charles Hutchinson be triumphantly elected to the school board at Monday's election. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 12.

When we stop trying to do new things and stop trying to find new ways to do old things we are headed down the hill even though we are only twenty. By starvation the slaveholders forced the Negro into petty thievery seemingly it became second nature to some of them. Unemployment plus the H. C. L, made big cunning thieves of white, black and brown—proving that circumstances is the mother of thieves, not color or race. One hath tub is worth forty caskets, 10 bombasting speeches on the race problem and will greatly reduce the reason why some people can't dine in and operate first class restaurants, can't try on apparels in certain down-town stores. "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Politeness—the paramount asset in society by some people due to concentration on problems in which keen competition is involved is often forgotten, yet, within the souls of some transgressors is a "hidy-do," a hat-tip, a hello and a bow for every one every moment of their life. When innocent women shoulder the blame of guilty ones whose fall promises to be fatal and in so doing the former places her reputation in fate's hand it's an exhibition of genuine sacrifice. Nothing is so necessary as a square look at yourself just as you are—just as you purpose to be. And nothing seems to be so rare. Folks everywhere seem to be willing to do just about anything but look themselves full in the eye and find out what they are, what they want and where they are going to go.
