On Thursday, March 3 on the eve of the inauguration of President Warren G. Harding, in whom he had had an important part, the colored women state campaign directors from practically every state in the union including Alaska, assembled in Washington at the call of Mrs. Lethia C. Fleming, national director and Mesdame Victorin Clay-Haley and Mary Church Terrell, assistant commissioner in the John Wesley A. M. E. church. The Iowa Colored Women were represented by Mrs. S. Joe Brown, who gave a splendid report of the political activities of the Negro women of Iowa, not only in pre-election campaign, also in the part taken at the different elections held throughout the state, as jurors in the courts of Iowa since the beginning of the year and of the citizenship study classes that are being conducted throughout the state. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell was hostess to the state political directors in the parliars of the church and in the evening they were honored guests at a musical at the Dunbar High school. This courtesy was arranged by the club women of the city with Miss Hallie B. Brown as the center office and the office of the National Association of Colored Women were each presented.

The opinions of employers who have had experience with Negro workers, have been ascertained and tabulated. A brief summary is given of the large shift of colored women from domestic and personal service into industrial and clerical occupations during the war period. In commenting on the_publication Dr. George E. Haynes of the Department of Labor said, "The facts given in this second study of Negro labor have been very carefully gathered, collated and analyzed.

Ex-Senator Burton Assails Great Bend Mob Salina, Kan., March 14.—Ralph Burton, former United States senator from Kansas, issued a statement here today, denouncing the tarring of Non-partisan league officials at Great Bend, Kans., last Saturday. It was a "crime worse than bank robbery," he said. Burton, who was put in an auto A THOUGHT ON NEGRO HISTORY (Rev. W. H. Griffin, D. D., St. Paul's A. M. E. Church.) It is frequently remarked that "The Negro is making history," which statement we admit to be true. But if this history is only an oral account of events, much of its truth, power and inspiring effect will be lost through corruption and error and its authenticity questioned. The Negro has already enriched the world with his contributions of thought and deeds to an extent and of a character far beyond our ability to determine or calculate and for which we receive no credit because he has failed to chronicle events and record achievements in a manner that would identify them as the product of his genius and skill. Who among us have not read the glowing descriptions, of the Nile Valley with its mighty kingdoms, magnificent cities, buildings, etc., without suspecting or at least cherishing the hope that his ancestors might have been the lords thereof? For example "Tebes, the magnificent and stately, was known as the hundred-gated city of upper Egypt. It is said to have extended over twenty-three miles. On its sides are the villages of Karnak and Luxor, where ruins of magnificent and spacious temples, splendid palaces, colossal statues, avenues of obelisks, and lines of sphinxes, tombs of kings hewn in solid rock, subterranean catcombs, and gigantic buildings still bear witnesses to the immense size and splendor of this great and celebrated city whose ruins extend seven miles along both banks of the Nile. These ancient people had a wonderful building instinct. The outstanding feature of their architecture was massiveness and grandeur, in which respects they have never been surpassed." Explorers and missionaries have brought from the interior of Africa implements of agriculture and warfare wrought in iron, brass and copper, also pottery and articles exhibiting art and skill of a rare quality pointing backward to an age of superior attainment and civilization. Many Negro scholars have claimed these Nile cities as the accomplishments of Negroes. One of our great weeklies has worked into its title-design, the sphinx as a race symbol. Dr. Wm. Ferris, author of "The African Abroad" claims for the Negro much of the ancient history accredited to the Egyptians. Could we know with certainty and teach our children that the account of the city of Thebes is an excerpt from the pages of Negro history; that the pyramids of Cheops; the Labyrinth of Faioom with its three thousand rooms; the great libraries of the valley (dispensaries of the soul) dealing with religion, history, theology, mathematics, love-songs, medicine and astronomy, etc., were the work of Negroes, what greater inspiration could be given them to awaken race consciousness and pride. Could these be linked with the achievements of the present day they would inspire our people to redouble their efforts toward the goal of success. Many, of our children know but little if anything of our race history beyond the period of American slavery and to most adults the vague conceptions of their progenitors dies out in the deep thick jungles of Africa amidst heatenism and ring-nosed cannibals. deep thick jungles of Africa and Antarctica and ringed islands. With an authentic history of a glorious past, the Negro of today may look optimistically to a more glorious future. We must only make history. We must write it! Evanston, Ill. to Have Community Center (By The Associated Negro Press.) Evanston, Ill., March 15.—The colored people of this city are to have a community home. Plans for the building are completed and provide for a community store, office and a lodge hall. Twenty-two colored men have contributed $100.00 each and the three story structure will be erected before early summer, according to the present program. Forest E. White and William H. Gill are the sponsors of the idea. Y. M. C. A. Drive Opens The Crocker Street Branch of the Y. M. C.

Washington, March 15.—Anacostia, the historic home of Frederick Douglass, is now the property of the colored people of the United States. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the Frederick Fougias Memorial, and Historical association, has just announced that the mortgage against the building and land has been lifted by her society. Hallee Q.

Morrow today offered $500 reward for the arrest and conviction of each member of the mob that early yesterday took Richard James, a Negro, from Woodford county jail and lynched him. The governor also issued a proclamation removing Jailer John H. Edger of Woodford county. The governor's proclamation is the first under the anti-mob law of 1920. It gives the jailer ten days in which to appeal for reinstatement. The governor also instructed County Judge Edmond Muleahy to institute a court of inquiry, as the grand jury will not meet until May.

No More Trouble seems Imminent Important To Our Subscribers, Advertisers and Readers of "The Bystander" you can help us give all business matters prompt attention by addressing all communications directly to: "The Bystander Publishing Co" 201 7th Street Des Moines, Iowa (By The Associated Negro Press.) Springfield, Ohio, March 16. The attempt of a drunken policeman to maltreat a Negro who did not get out of his way quick enough, when ordered to step off the sidewalk by the officer, caused the death of the policeman and about eighteen other black and white citizens last Friday night. Rioting continued through the night but quiet was restored in the early morning hours after the militia had been called to the scenes of strife and the streets fortified with machine guns. It was in the early evening time when the fighting began. No one seems to have a clear idea of how the trouble started. It was confined wholly in the Negro district, where it began, and is believed to have had its origin in a series of minor clashes that have occurred between police officers and alleged rowdy Negroes during the past few weeks. The killing of the policeman was the culmination of these smaller fights. Before the Friday night clash had continued far large crowds of whites joined the officers called to the Negro district to quell the rioting. The Negroes, regarding the invasion of the district as an effort to punish them for the results of the Bonus Bill Passes Both Houses With the soldiers' bonus now safely through both houses of the legislature in a form satisfactory to the American Legion and its signature by the governor but a matter of form, the whole question of paying the war veterans adjusted compensation will be decided by the people at the general election in November, 1922. Inasmuch as the measure carries a bond issue of $22,000,000 to provide funds for the payment of the bonus and for the disability fund, the question will have to be voted upon by the people at the next general election. The following gives the substance of the bill passed by both houses of the general assembly, and transmitted to Governor Kendall for signature: Who are eligible—Any soldier, sailor, or marine who served in the nation's fighting forces between April 6, 1917 and Nov. 11, 1918 (including officers of Iowa at the time of his or her enlistment. S. A. T. C. students excepted. Amount to be paid—Fifty cents a day for each day in service between April 6, 1917, and the date of final discharge, but in no case more than $350. Money to be raised—By a state bond issue of $22,000,000, the bonds riots of two years ago, resisted arrests and calmly engaged the police and their allies in the sanguinary street battle which lasted through the entire night. Several attempts to dynamite homes of the Negroes were frustrated by them. One white man discovered in the act of placing a bomb near the residence of a Negro was roughly handled but was rescued by the police after a desperate battle in the course of which several combatants were severely wounded and as many more killed. The police department declare that the origin of the trouble is to be traced to an attempted rape or a young white girl by a Negro several days ago. This is stoutly denied by Negro citizens of all classes who declare that the police have been assiduously seeking to create trouble in the Negro district for political reasons. There has been no serious recurrence of the rioting since order was restored by the National Guard last Saturday morning. The public resorts ordered closed by Major Wescott are, in the majority of cases, still shut. There is no general fear that the rioting will be resumed. to run for twenty years. This fund will be administered, and bonuses paid, by a board composed of the state treasurer, the state auditor, the adjutant general, and the adjutant of the Iowa department of the American Legion. Bonds will be retired by a special tax levy sufficient to cover principal and interest, spread over twenty years. People must approve—None of the provisions of the bill will be effective, the bonds will not be issued, and bonus applications will not be received, until the measure has been approved by vote of the people at the general election in 1922. Bonus warrants probably will not be available until early in 1923. Applications received by—The clerk of the district court in your county of present residence, in the county in which you enlisted, or by the adjutant general direct. No bonus paid except upon application. Disability fund—Any amount remaining in the bonus fund, up to $2,000,000, after all bonuses have been paid, will go into a disability fund, to be administered by the bonus board and to be spent in relief of Iowans disabled through military service.

Harding, is the first newspaper publisher and the first business man by occupation to serve as president of the United States. He is the twenty-ninth chief-executive, reckoning Cleveland's two terms as separate ones because he was the only president serving twice who was not re-elected. Nineteen president at the time were elected. Three were classified as statesmen, two as soldiers, two as farmers, one as a public official. Mr. Harding might also fall within the class of statesmen, as he had served six years in the Senate when elected, and was the first senator to be elected president. Virginia leads in the navity of presidents. Eight of her sons—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson—have held the highest office in the gift of the nation.

GILPIN INVITED It is worth recording that the Negro actor, Gilpin, who is one of the season's sensations in New York, and who was named by vote one of the ten who have done most for dramatic art in the last year, was invited with the other nine to the complimentary dinner of the Drama league and was handsomely received by the more than 600 guests who gathered at Hotel McAlpine.

Among the ardent champions of Gilpin was Gila Varesi, between whom Lois Simonson of "Heartbreak House," he was seated. Miss Varesi had said: "If you invite Gilpin I will be proud to sit behind him. If there is any place on earth where race should be permitted it is in the church and in art. God is God, and genius is genius, and race ought not to make a distinction." At an informal conference of members and guests of the Civic club Gilpin talked on the Negro in America: "It is not a case of social equality, but of the brotherhood of man." The New York Evening Post speaks of the matter editorially: "By a fine interpretation of a single role Mr. Gilpin has proved that the title of artist is his due. The Negro, famous for his mimic powers, ought to come to hold an esteemed place on the stage. Already the race has produced a comedian of talent in Bert Williams. Poets like Paul Laurence Dunbar and James Weldon Johnson; composers like Coleridge-Taylor of African origin, with the wit of William Shakespeare, like Du Bois and Booker Washington; a scientist like Edward Everett Just—these men show that the Negro will surely though perhaps slowly build up a record of contributions to the arts. There is no color line it the world of culture. An appearance of hesitancy on the part of the Drama league to welcome Mr. Gilpin evoked a protest in which were coupled resentment over a palpable injustice to a colored man and resentment over a palpable injustice to art itself. Those who lead in music, letters, sculpture, and dance were the new car to the muses' chariot. Every new achievement by the Negro fity recognized helps in the general upliftment of a race. It inspires multitudes of colored people to strive toward a better estate." This recognition of merit in a colored man, made formally and on full consideration, sets a new mile post for the race, for it will be easier from now on L. Jones, Director. Amply day or night.
