SIDELIGHTS OF WASHINGTON How Senate Judiciary Committee Holds Up Confirmation—Senator Borah Would Vote for "Yellow Dog" Before Linney. (Special to the Bystander.) Raleigh, N. C.—President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty have practically approved of the disfranchisement of the eligible and qualified Negro in the South by the recent managers of the Republican organizations (the "lily-whitees") by sending to the United States Senate the name of Frank Linney for United States Attorney, Western District of North Carolina. Linney is chairman of the Re publican State Executive Committee, and last fall, in the name of the Republican party, made overtures to the chairman of the Democratic party to meet him halfway that they might come to some agreement by which they might eliminate the educated Negro, eligible to vote, from politics, in the late campaign, as well as from all future political campaigns. It is also well authenticated that he and other leading officials of the party after the Democratic chairman didn't accede to his suggestion or overtures, requested the Democratic registrars last fall to register every white person, whether literate or illiterate, but to refuse registration to the colored electorate, even if he could comply with the Constitution regulating the qualifications for suffrage. Facts Sent to President Harding. The above facts and information regarding Frank Linney have been sent to President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. Yet, in the face of this information concerning the political tactics of Linney, President Harding ignores the protests of 100,000 Negro Republicans in North Carolina by nominating Linney for the responsible and important position of United States Attorney. Such conduct is discouraging, not only to the colored Republicans in this state, but to Negroes throughout the South, because it is a tantamount to endorsing the iniquitous suffrage measures initiated by the Southern Bourbon democracy and subsequently adopted and put in operation by the "lily-whitees." (By The Associated Negro Press.) A white "gentleman from the south" came into Washington the other day and went up to the "committee on legislative relief" and after certain preliminaries proceeded to discuss his "favorable" attitude toward the Negro. He said that he was not in favor of lynching—except for one thing. And proceeding to use the traditional southern term "nigger" he discussed on how the government should be saved the expense of trial of an alleged victim. When the folks thereabout got through with him, he didn't know whether he had been through a gin mill or a cyclone. And, ye gods, he is a candidate for United States marshall—or rather he was a candidate. Des Moines, Iowa, May 24.—The distribution of the population according to color or race in 1920 was as follows: White, 2,384,181; Negro, 19,005; Indian, 529; Japanese, 239; Japanese, 29; Filipino, 34; all others, 8. The corresponding figures for 1910 were as follows: White, 2,209,181; Negro, 14,973; Indian, 471; Chinese, 97; Japanese, 36; all others. 3. During the decade the white population increased by 7.9 per cent, while the Negro population increased by 26.9 per cent. BISHOP MANNING CONFIRMS 33 COLORED CHILDREN (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y. May 24. Thirty-three colored children were confined at St. David's Negro mission by Bishop W. T. Manning. This was the first confirmation by the bishop. He was accompanied by his two daughters, Francis and Elizabeth. About 500 persons witnessed the confirmation. The Rev. George Clifton, founder and rector of the mission, introduced Bishop Manning to the audience. The bishop recalled that the first baptism he ever performed was in 1921, when he baptized two Negro children in Tennessee. 9 and 10 next. Many Candles Made.

Washington, D. C. (Special), May 24—Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., has been appointed by Attorney Harry M. Daugherty as special assistant attorney general of the United States. Attorney Howard is in the claims division of the department of justice, and has charge of fradulent claims against the government. The salary is $5,000 a year. The appointment of Mr. Howard is not only special recognition of the race, but is direct recognition by the Harding administration of the leadership of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Republican national committeeman from Georgia; Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., and Charles A. Cottrill, of Toledo, Ohio, who were in direct charge of the campaign work among voters during the last election. These men are heading up the committee on legislative relief, 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, and are demonstrating not only ability in progressive political maneuvering. Two of them, Johnson and Church, have it be known distinctly that they do not seek appointments for themselves, but they are insisting on the Republican party keeping campaign pledges, and recognizing citizens on merit in appointment. Hampton, Va., March—The colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association held its tenth annual meeting in Richmond, at Virginia Union University. It denounced gambling and advocated the development of physical education. It vote to become a member of the National collegiate Association and to raise the dues from $2.50 to $25 ofrm each school so as to carry out its development program. M. T. Dean and Dr. W. E.

Griffith, first born child of Rev. and Mrs. T. L. Griffith was born in Mickakinock, Mahaska county, Iowa in 1892. He was the son of his parents May 18, 1921, of some ease of the brain. He had been in poor health for several months, but his fatal illness was of four week's duration. He had lived with his parents during the twenty-four years of his life except the times when he was on vacation and in school since he was five years old having finished the grade schools in Des Moines, the Topeka, (Kansas), high school, studied two years in Washburn college, Topeka, Kansas, and was just a freshman in school since he was five years old having conservatory of music as a pianist. He was pianist for the Drake University Glee club and with this club had made trips to several towns in Iowa. His piano teacher, Thomas Couse was using his studies with one of the greatest pianists of the world. He was a gifted musician and had he lived would doubtless have taken rank with the best in the country and had he have applied to head of the music department of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, Topeka, Kansas. He had flattering offers for concerts for the summer time. He was a music teacher and several pupils came to him from week to week. During his last illness everything that loving hands could think to do was house day and night. Physicians, parents, relatives, friends from all the walks of life did all in their power to save his splenex for the world but all to no avail. He was a Christian young man. He united with the Corinthian Baptist church when he was ten years old and remained in Christian service until his death. He was five years organist of the Second Church in church. He worked at the Second Church in Topka, and also directed two church choirs in that city. Returning to Des Moines he united with the Union Baptist church. He had often desired to go with his father on evangelical tours, and hoped to help by organizing special events over several days, but the parents will never forget his uplifted finger pointed to heaven hours before the end came. The funeral services were held from the St. Paul's A. M. E. church for the sake of the larger room. The funeral services were as follows: Rev. J. H. Reynolds, master of ceremonies on Sunday. Rev. J. H. M. R. Graves, Scripture lesson, read by Dr. S. W. Eileen. Song by the choir. Prayer by Rev. S. Bates of Maple street Baptist church. Resolutions and condolences read by Rev. Reynolds. Sermon by Dr. H. Robinson, pastor of Corinthian Church in Robinson, pastor of Drake university Glee club. Remarks by Dr. W. H. Griffin, pastor St. Paul's A. M. E. Remarks by Dr. Chas. S. Medbury, pastor University Place Church of Christ. Dean, Dean Holmes Cowper of Drake University. Prayer by Wheeler of Asbury M. E. church. The members of Union Baptist church were seated directly back of the family, the Usher's Board of Corinthian church assisted by ushers from St. Paul A. M. E, Maple street Baptist and Union Baptist churches handled the large crowd successfully. Funeral services were very impressive and the floral offerings were simply grand. Telegrams, special delivery letters, and plain letters have been pouring in upon the family expressing sympathy and sorrow in his death. The names of the deceased and their relatives themselves are too many to mention. Permission will doubtless be given to mention a few: The officers of the Iowa Baptist convention; the faculty and students of Drake conservatory of music; the Industrial and Educational Institute, the president of Western University, Quindara, Kansas; the Calvary Baptist church, Topeka, Kansas; the Union University, Kansas; and students of the Minsters' Alliance, Des Moines, Iowa, the ladies of the First Baptist church, Des Moines, Iowa; the Usher's Board, Corinthian Baptist church. It would require a whole column to individuals who have shown their love for Malecon and their sympathy for the family in this sad hour. Words fail us to express to friends near and far our thanks for the kindness shown to us during the illness and death of our son. We have been overwhelmed with the thought of the esteem in which he is held. There is satisfaction in having reared a son whom so many loved. Our loss is great, our sorrow is painful, but the love of our son is unwavering. — T. L. Griffith and Mrs. T. L. Griffith. DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921. ed Mus Passed NEW ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER IN IOWA On last Saturday, May 21, Atty. S. Joe Brown, most excellent grand high priest of Holy Royal Arch Masons for Illinois and Iowa, went to Keokul, Iowa where he healed a constitution number of Royal Arch Masons, who were formerly members of the old North Western chapter in that city which ceased to be operative some years ago and reorganized and set them to work under a new dispensation with F.

Atlanta, Ga., May 24.—If Governor Dorsey wins in his fight for better treatment of Negroes in Georgia, he must do it almost single-handed. He has the moral support of ministers, teachers and women's clubs, but has brought down upon himself an avalanche of criticism and abuse from other state officials and public men.

The criticism was brought by publication of a report prepared by the governor in which he listed 135 cases of alleged mistreatment, murder, lynching and peonage, with Negroes as the victims. He declared Georgia would be as severely condemned, if this conditoin continued as Belgium and Leopold were condemned by God and man for the Co gnoatrocities. A Bitter Denial. President Olive, in bitter language, denied the existence of conditions as described by the governor; declared that the only way to stop lynching was to stop rape and murder; declared that peonage did not exist, generally, but said the southern farmers were compelled to make their Negro farm hands work out on labor contracts. dents, alumni and friends.

The following is the PRESIDENT GETS LETTER FROM HEAD OF ARMENIAN CHURCH Washington, — Archbishop Khoren, whose archepiscopal see is Erlvan, capital of the Armenian Republic, journeyed seven thousand miles to present President Wilson one of the quintest and most touching documents in the archives of the State Department. It is illuminated by the monks of Etchmidzin, the seat of the Armenian church since its separation from the Greek church, after the Council of Chalcedon in the year 451. The Encyclical Letter, which the Archbishop presented to the President, reads: "GEORGE, Servant of Jesus Christ and by the Omniscient Will of God, Arch-Priest and CATHOLICOS OF ALL THE ARMENIANS, Supreme Patrarch of the highest Armenian See of Ararat and of the Apostolic Mother Church at Etchmidzin the Holy. "To the NOBLE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. (Lokerd, Green) Sioux City, Iowa (green) problem the Negro race faces very keenly today is "how to make modern-day education as commendably effectual as the so-called old time way of seeing and doing things our forparents had." This, in turn, is a question and essential principle that recipients of modern-day education seem in general to be quite unscrupulous about. The question arises now, should education make us unconscious to the originality of our for-parent's success in school, or to the cultivation of the fundamental laws of morality, the unassumed but natural modesty and sedateness of their characters that necessarily composed a logical basis for elevation? If the latter is true, then the question is mit that education is made commendably effectual because of its undying principles and their practicability. Studying carefully the moral situation of the race today it is quite obvious that education is sorrowly missing the education and for a remedy, the laws of the city grace and Christian practices must be applied apropos of the excision of the popular evils of the day. Cultivation of these high ideals coerce education to a higher standard of civilization. One of the incumbrances to progress is the imaginary qualities of the American people and the Negro tries his hard to duplicate them and thus no real claim to originality and a high effectuality of education can be made. As an endorsement to the foregoing argument, we must truth that leading criminals and master minds law violators commit some of the most appalling and castrady acts and when run down and their early record consulted they are persons of good schooling and many are college graduates. May they quizzed by the 'why It Is' them with truthfulness, their lackening not in the schools but, reaching back to the home and parental training. This message conveys the warmest kind of an admonition to parents. You owe to your child the greatest responsibility that life can afford and that is "good training." Train the child in the way you would have it go and maintain it. This Bibleical reference in itself is instructive enough. Wouldn't it be all right to ask the parents what your children do? Do you train them or do they train you? It appears the latter opinion is a serious fact in the doctrinal literature, but graceful, how embarrassing to the dignity of homelife and parental obligations. With all our foreparents illiteracy (so-called) we must admit that they wore at least the heads of their families and all children must come under adult supervision in those days. That is bad, all that means elevation or degradation from a human viewpoint depends upon the parents and the kind of homelife and community environment for they create their sons and daughters, who are in no wise responsible for their abut in human life. As a portion of the human race let us preserve the principles so dear to our foreparents. These principles because of their cleanliness of purpose and the kind of character that came as domestic law and seemed to find a deep seated control because they were based upon the emphatic recognition of the Infinite supremacy of God and the logical practice of a generalized mind and the keeping of an unassumed, unimaginative and uncharacteristic character about all opportunities we better, broader and higher kind of civilization. The writer does not mean to infer that education is non-essential in the least, but "how long before education shall find a true foundation upon which through the medium of cultivation it may build more commendable life structures?" We oft times hear the expression, "education makes one independent," and we often find ourselves in a "marrying for convenience" we find no grounds for repudiation. So independent does it make some that husband won't work with wife, neither vice versa and the law that joins, dis joins and once again both go about as if they are married, and who they may be devour. Sad but true, and as uncouth as it may seem to tell it, this independence, rather than use the education to assist a legal husband and wife, after the separation generally in the embrace of common law supporters. The man seeks to find an illegal accomplice and the woman imposes an illegal disposition of her character. Education should lift the mind above such unconvenient situations of life and death, and it is not taking the place in the civilization so extolled in the eyes of American people. We are making history for future generations. Will our record be as high and pure with all our education as our associated alliterate foreparacus? ISM DES MOINES GIRL MAY HEAD HOSPITAL IN AFRICA MISS IONE WILSON. Among the Negro graduates of the Kansas City general hospital nurse training class last Monday evening was one Des Moines young woman, Miss Ione Wilson, daughter of Mr. Jacob Wilson of Euxton, Iowa, but who upon the death of her mother, while she was quite small came to Des Moines and made her home with her sister, Mrs. S. Joe Brown who was present at her graduation. After leaving West Des Moines High school where she obtained her preparatory education, Miss Wilson decided to prepare herself for the nursing profession and in September, 1918 entered the course in Kansas City hospital where she has made an enviable record as is evidenced by the fact that she has been recommended for the appointment as superintendent of the new hospital now being erected in Monrovia, Liberia, by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, who was her pastor during the time that he pastored St. A. M. E. church, this city.

It is the invulnerable, but nevertheless guiding forces of government, ennumerated citizens, and them; it places kings on the throne, and by the same token, crushes their existence as so much tinder. It is seldom on dress parade, but the roots of its development are the roots of potato vine. It is laughed at, ridiculed, and denounced, and yet the master politician is sought after by all classes of human beings, the destiny of the nation, the land, and the pumperes of rulers. Therefore, we must put more business into politics, and less sentiment. We must "play the game" for all it is worth, for the one thing it is worth most—POWER. The power of it is bigger than the power of party is instrumentality through which power must be exercised. Every citizen should be granted the respectful privilege of choosing his own party, and as a member of it, should not only defend the interests of the party, but also should be at most power to compel the party to back him in defense of the principles upon which the party is founded. This is true at this time with the Republican party. The majority among us belong to the Republican party, and that party must live up to established and avowed principle, or report to us the reason. The most measure we can take against them must measure our acts by the achievements of the party. Mighty influences are at work on the Republican party today. The American Negro is a great power in that party. His power is increasing, again. There are those who do not. We must stand by those who do not. It matters not how high they may be in party councils, or what office they may hold in public office, but they are doing so externally. That is putting more business in politics. We cannot countenance or encourage any plan or scheme that seeks to eliminate our citizens, for the ballet, or from enjoying the fruits of success in politics, whether that be establishment and promotion, or a pointment to office, or any other things whereby politics gets its prestige and power.

We see not through a glass larkly, but face to face, and the issue is as plain to the dumbest as crystal glass. Keep the Negro down? The Negro cannot be kept down. That is the answer. There has developed within the race a marvelous growth of business. The enterprises now being conducted by the race in various parts of the country, and in many one, in the proportions they are reaching, in the face of the heaviest odds. The executives of these great business institutions are men of ability, many of them having a great deal of money for fif thousand per year. They do not seek political preferment, but they do seek "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Many of these men are splendid, and they are well equipped with political forces. There must be more of it. There are far too many who leave the job—and the load—for the other fellow, and then complain of the lack of opportunity and we will get somewhere."

Chamberlain's Tablets NEGRO DETBOTLIVENY The Negro population of Des Moines is two times larger than it has no representation on the detective force. Our Negro police have rendered excellent service to the city but like all other police, their uniform serve as a handle-in running down criminals. It is hard to imagine an outbreak, but why wait! Criminals have played have with other cities and Des Moines is not out of their pathway. The Negro population of Des Moines increased one hundred per cent during the past decade. This phenomenal increase of population is often followed by the vile act of crooks. These have rioted, and Moore but is not a victim. Many innocent lives are lost and many peaceful homes are burned when a town is visited by a riot riot. Why wait! Two Negro detectives can keep a fairly good watch over the city and in many instances can be of great service in keeping the city clean of undesirable characters. The Negro knows the Negro better than any other race knows him. But well thinking Negro is not a problem, it is impossible to accomplish this without some authority.

How. to Teach a Dog Kindness, firmness, and patience are necessary qualities in teaching a dog. Nothing can be done by cruelty, and if you lose your temper you will never teach him anything. It is very little use trying to teach an old dog. Begin when he is young and do not overtire him. Also do not overfeed him, for most of the lessons have to be taught by a system of small rewards in the shape of til-hits of food. Too Much of a Good Thing. It is a good thing to have a good thing, but too much of a good thing is frequently injurious.—Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Indians Good Orchardista. The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nonnatic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry. WITH OUR CHURCHES UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES Tenth and Park streets, B. F. White, pastor. The attendance was good at both preaching services and church school, and a good day was enjoyed throughout. In the morning the pastor's theme was "A Call to Service," in this he gave a appeal of the proceedings of the state conference of Congregational churches which he attended in Sioux City last week. He brought to the church school a certificate of merit conferred by the director of religious education in the state. The token caused the school to feel rather proud of its work of the past year and it will also serve as a strong incentive for better and more faithful work in the year before us. The school is making earnest preparation for Children's day. The Union Missionary society which has done a very faithful piece of work since its reorganization in the early part of the year, is now busy with preparation for its annual spring bazaar which will be held at the church, May 31 to June 3 inclusive. This occasion will offer an opportunity for purchasing many use articles for personal and household use, as well as a splendid social opportunity.

"What is peculiar about them and who do you mean?" asked Mrs. Teddy Toad. "Well, people are funny," said Mother Toad. "Mothers only have a mere handful of children about them, a mere handful." "I've never seen them carrying their children upon their hands," said Mrs Toad. "Sometimes I've seen them carrying one baby in the arms, or one child upon the shoulders, but a lot of children in the hand—never. "How then do you say that they have a handful of children? "I mean," said Mother Toad, "that they don't have thousands, of children like I do. I didn't mean they carried their children around in their hands, but that they don't have enough to count so that they would amount to a good number. "I, you see, have thousands, and so do you. "But even though I am so different from people I like them. They're strange and tall and they walk instead of hop and they eat roast beef and ice cream instead of slugs and worms and little insects, but still I like them." "So do I," said Mrs. Teddy Toad. "You see," said Mother Toad, "I think creatures are absurd who only like those who do just the same and think just the same as they do themselves. "That's where I am different and I love folks lots better and have lots better a time because of that. Just suppose I said, 'No, I don't like her; she wears dresses, whereas I, the toad, do not.' Now, wouldn't that be absurd? "Toads help people because they like them. They do a lot of good work in the gardens, just quantities of good work, and upon the farms, too. "But I haven't much use for folks who're always disliking everyone who doesn't think the same and stress the same and act the same as they do. "They miss so much joy out of life, and, besides, people who want everyone else to agree with them are so conceited.
