WHITE HORSE KNIGHTS COMBATS K.K.K. NEGRO POLICE SLACKERS? 50,000 Petition Harding Thru NAACP Some Negro Police Have Pets KLAN HEADS QUIT FOR THE BAD YOU DO READ OTHER PAPERS FOR THE GOOD YOU DO READ THE BYSTANDER VOL. XXVIII No. II. NEGI 50,000 KLA Jobless Men Auctioned Off (By The Associated Negro Press.) Boston, Mass., Sept. 29.-Jobless men were placed on the auction bleak on Boston Common last week. Stripped to the waist, after the custom of the old slave auctions, they declared their willingness to work by standing before a crowd of thousands, offering their services to the highest bidder. "Shorn lambs of unemployment," their auctioneer, Urbain Ledoux, called them. Ledoux, a philanthropic worker who recently opened the "Church of the unemployed" in the west end, led a group of fifty to the common to bring home, he said, to the people of Boston their stories of human misery, just as William Lloyd Garrison pleaded for the alaves on the same spot seventy years ago. Ledoux's efforts to get work for his man were not rewarded. Howard University Scores perpetual Success Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.—Howard university, in keeping with its new program of rendering the greatest possible service as a national university for the training of colored youth, last year at the beginning of the winter quarter, January 4, 1921, inaugurated a system of evening classes with Professor William J. Bauduit as director. These evening classes are of full college grade and yield the usual credits toward the various academic degrees conferred by the university. They are being taught by the regular university instructors and exact the same requirements and maintain the same standards as the day classes. To the ambitious, self-supporting student who is unable to attend classes during the day, the Howard university now offers the exceptional opportunity of securing a college education through evening instruction.

Beg Pardon Mr. Gibson Haste Makes Waste ISN'T QUICK ACTION BASED ON THE DESIRE OF A SENTIMENTAL PUBLIC THE CAUSE OF UNJUST PERSECUTION? Atty. General Ben Gibson, following the appointment of Judge Guthrie to assist in the prosecution of the murderer of Miss Sarah Thorsdale, is quoted by the Des Moines Register as having said, "All that I want, and all that the state and Polk county wants is that you prosecute quickly the murderer of Miss Thorsdale." We do not doubt but what the sentimental public wants, is that the murderer be prosecuted quickly, and it is not out of the ordinary to hear such an expression made by the common people, but for the state's attorney to make such a statement we are prompted to ask him, "Is it not a fact that quick action is the direct road to error?" No man can get around the fact that this public desire for "quick work" has caused the American flag to be stained with lynching, mobbing, and burning of hundreds of innocent American citizens who afterwards were found to be inno- Former Negro Gov. of Louisiana Dead Shreveport, La., Sept. 29.—C. C. Antoine, colored, aged 85, formerly lieutenant governor of Louisiana, having served in that capacity in the seventies, when at times he also acted as governor, is dead at his home here and was buried last Wednesday at Flournoy, this parish. Antoine was born in New Orleans. His father fought against the British at New Orleans in 1812. His mother was a native of the West Indies, the daughter of slaves from Africa. Antoine spent many years of his life here, and in reconstruction days, before Negro rule was broken, was a political power. Women Proving More Polite. It is not an uncommon sight now to see a young girl get up and offer her seat in the subway to an elderly woman, whose entrance has been ignored by the male passengers. Such usually brings some blushing humble man to his feet with a stammering offer of "have my seat," but the climax was reached the other evening in an up-town restaurant when a middle-aged woman took a seat at the same table with one of her own sex, a stranger to her, and on finishing dinner politely inquired: "Do you mind if I smoke? York Sun. DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 1921 cent victims of unbalanced passion—mistakes that involved the ravaging of the most precious thing in the world—A MAN'S LIFE. What Should Be Done. A thorough investigation should be made of the entire situation that surrounds this senational murder case. These cheap political aspirants should be given a vacation and the men who want justice to predominate should be given the reins. We hope that this will not be a case of men who want to convict some man regardless of his guilt as a scapegoat to ride into power, fame etc. The next bunch who takes a hold of this case will have to evade that because politics and camoufaged jackasses have made a mud puddle out of the thing and they all look muddy. NEW A. M. E. CHURCH AT FORT DODGE Ft. Dodge, Iowa. (Special to Bystander)—On Sunday, Oct. 2. Rev. N. B. Jones, pastor and congregant of Coppin chapel of this city will occupy for the first time their new $10,000 modern brick edifice which will be on the order of an institutional or community church, comprising besides an auditorium, a reading room, a gymnasium, a cafeteria and both tub and shower bath rooms. In order to raise the necessary funds to complete the first story in which all these features will be located, a committee consisting of Mesdames Jas, Nelson of this city and A. L. Peters of Rockwell City, both of whom together with their husbands are recent accessions, put on a three days' carnival in the public park on Sept. 22, 23 and 24, which was well attended by the members of both races from Ft. Dodge and neighboring communities. On the 22nd the program consisted of an emancipation celebration with Atty. S. Joe Brown of Des Moines as the principal speaker, and music by the Perkins Bros, orchestra of Ft. Dodge. On the 23rd and 24th the famous Bell Bros, orchestra from Carroll, Iowa, and Mr. Jas, Nelson's magician furnished the principal attractions. All of which were donated to the most worthy cause. Too much credit cannot be given to Rev. Jones who has undertaken and already completed the first story of this modern institution with a membership of less than one hundred. He leaves Oct. 10 for his annual conference at Minneapolis by which if he is returned he will immediately start to work on the second story which will contain additional institutional features. JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION As the Boy Explained It, the Finding of Horse Was Really Quite Simple Matter. Speaking of the development of the story-telling talent in youth, Richard Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating this incident: Some years ago a prominent citizen of a town lost a horse. It was not much of a horse. In fact, it was blind in one eye and spavined. But, perhaps as a relic, Bennett says, the prominent citizen wanted the horse. So he advertised, offering $5 reward for its return. The town half-wit, a boy of nineteen, with a harelip, came one afternoon leading the horse, with a strap about the size of a sheostring, to the prominent citizen's door. The horse's owner was pleased. Statue of Booker T. Washington This clay model of a statue of Dr. Booker T.

Misissippi Whites Organize To Fight Kluxers (Special to Bystander. Conchata, Miss., Sept. 29. Down here in the heart of the "black belt"—where the glory of white people has been to torture beyond human endurance the darker people, here where any organization or person that comes out against the Negro received the unanimous approval of the "cracker," here where burning alive of human beings, mobbing of innocent men and women—here, the home of all that is bad, the white people are organizing themselves together in an order known as "The White Horse Knights" to fight outright the "Ku Klux Klan," and to outlaw the existing order of Klansmen. James C. Johnson, of Jackson, Miss, has been elected grand chief. The officials have not announced just how they will proceed, but they have announced that they will kill the d—Ku Kluxers at any rate.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29. — Edward Young Clark, imperial kleague of the Ku Klux Klan, in a letter to Col. William J.

Mrs. Florence Kelly Makes Good Report Mrs. Florence Kelley, Member of Board of N. A. A. C. P. and Secretary of Consumers League Tells of London Sessions. Mrs. Florence Kelley, secretary of the Consumers League and member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public her impressions of the London session of the Pan-American congress from which she has just returned. "The keynote of the meeting was the need of world union, of diffused knowledge of the facts which affect people of African descent throughout the world, and determination to accept no inferior position whether civil, educational or Huston Riot Victims await Harding's Reply Washington, Sept. 29.—A delegation of thirty leading colored men and women, headed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, is in Washington bearing a petition signed by 50,000 names to President Harding asking him to pardon sixty-one members of the Twenty-fourth U. S. infantry (colored) now serving long time sentences in Leavenworth prison, convicted of robbing at Houston, Texas in August, 1917. President Harding has granted the delegation an audience on Wednesday morning, September 28, at 10:30. Mr. Johnson issued the following statement: "Although nineteen colored soldiers were hanged and sixty-one sentenced to life and long ten imprisonment after the Houston riot of August, 1917, colored people in the United States felt little disposed to appeal for pardon and elemency for they realized such an appeal would be fruitless. "Now, however, under a changed administration, fifty thousand signatures have been appended to such a petition circulated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and colored Americans are looking to President Harding to redress what they feel and have felt to be undue severity exercised against a regiment with such a record of soldierly bearing, courage and devotion as the Twenty-fourth U. S. infantry. political, by whomsoever imposed. This was clearly and nobly impressed by Dr. W. E. B. Dubois in a manifesto which was unanimously adopted by the congress at the closing session of the London meetings. "The meetings were held a stone's threw from Westminster Abbey and a few blocks from the Parliament—truly in the heart of the British Empire. "Most terrible was the lot of Negroes in South Africa, as it was exposed by one of the speakers, who said there was starvation among them because they had to work nine months in the year for the white men who had taken their land, three months to pay the British government's taxes, and had therefore no time to get enough for themselves to get Subscript tion Sale September 30 to October 30 BYSTANDER ONE YEAR—$1.00 BYSTANDER PUBLISHING CO. Some Negro Police Have Pets NEGRO POLICE SLACKERS? What About the Boose Situation on Center Street? It is a rumor that Chief of Police Roscoe Saunders stated that some of the Negro police are what might be termed slackers in that they don't arrest and report all persons that they know to be bootleggers in and around certain beats patrolled by Negro police. A reporter for the Bystander was informed that this is true not only in the Negro sections but all over the city. It is said that expert "white lighten" manufacturers are moving in around churches in the city thinking such a neighborhood due to the church would not be raided. We are told that these fellows are able to pay higher rents than working men who carn their living honestly. 100% V We wonder just how much booze is there around Center street, or where is the greater amount, on Center street or downtown in the heart of the city in cigar stores, shoe stores and other supposed clean places. Are the police protecting the boot-leggers, gamblers and thugs? If so, before the city can be immune of such the police force would inevitably have to be cleaned up. Don't be slackers boys! All that is done in darkness will come to light some day. Iowa White Mason Flays K. K. K. IOWA MASONS TAKE VOGNIZANCE AGAINST K. K. K. Clinton, Iowa, Sept. 29—I, Amos N.

G. A. R. TO FIGHT KLAN. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 29—Civil War veterans were called to arms again today by Commander in Chief W. A. Kethem. They were ordered into formation against insidious attacks against principles of free government and to set their faces against evils that are threatening—bolshevism, I. W.

It was not long before the Worthington marital bark struck rough waters. Mrs. Worthington secured the divorce. It was about this time that Mr. Leeds met her and became infatuated with her. It was only three days after the Leeds divorce was granted that Mrs. Worthington became the second Mrs. Leeds. As a wedding present Mr. Leeds gave his new bride jewelry valued at more than a million dollars, a mansion on Fifth avenue estimated to be worth $20,000,000, and an ocean-going steam yacht. It was on one of their visits to Paris that Mr. Leeds No. 2 a $340,000 pearl necklace. About that time a son was born to the happy pair—the present W. B. Leeds, Jr. This youth gained the title "poor richest boy" because of the great care his mother and father provided and the fortune spent on guarding his footsteps. A Royal Bringing-Up. When this child was two and one-half years old he went with his father and mother to London. And here, in part, is a cabled newspaper dispatch of how the once humble florist and railroad worker provided for his heir by second marriage: he an enrol to royalty could have more elaborate care nor more luxurious service than this little American is now receiving. It is the wonder of the whole hotel (the exclusive Claridge). "Altogether Baby Leeds has two drawing rooms, two bedrooms in case one boxes him, a sitting room, and a bathroom, the whole strictly reserved for him." "Two nurses are in constant attendance and a maid, valet, and extra servants are devoted to chasing away dull care." Pellegan's Habita. The pelican is commendably regular in his habits.

I., September 2, 1805, of legal phraseology, here is the paragraph that gives to royalty of Greece (by marriage) the bulk of the "tin plate" millions: "If the son, William B. Leeds, Jr, or issue of his shall survive the widow (Mrs. Leeds No. 2, now Princess Anastasia) three-fourths of the residuary estate is to be set aside for William B. Leeds, Jr., or his issue." In other words, if Princess Anastasia dies, her husband, Prince Christopher, brother of King Constantine, gets about $10,000,000, and young Leeds about $20,000,000, being dined, his royal widow or that children, if any, will get the $30,000,000 or more of good American money. After the death of Mr. Leeds and in the years before his widow was captured by the Greeks, she broke into European society right and left—real royalty's private grounds—because of the Leeds' millions at her command. Many a dented title sought her hand in marriage. Her marriage to Prince Christopher occurred at Geneva on January 81, 1920, and made her a cousin of most of the royalty of Europe and gave her such exalted ranks as had not been held by an American woman in many years. That's how she got the title "the Dollar Princess." Bringing Up Golden Child. While Mrs. Leeds was carrying on her conquest of royalty at their home town, young Leeds was being kept under the care of a small crew of servants, instructors, and others afforded only by mean millions. Here is an account of how the youth "grew up": "Young Leeds had every imaginable safeguard placed about him to prevent his being kidnapped and to shield him from other harm. His mother installed him in her former home in Montreal, then he escaped from carriage or automobile each evening at the Montcalm academy, he seemed to breathe freely. For most of the time he attended school there his mother was in Europe and he lived 'alone' with the servants to minister to his wants and detectives to protect him—but all to keep him from enjoying the pleasures of other boys of his age." His mother, while white, go daily cabled reports on his health. Then, later, she took him to England to complete his duties, giving as the exponent "that he might not become dissipated like so many rich American boys." Recently in America. Young Leeds, around whom the Leeds millions really center, was in this country only a few weeks ago. He arrived in Los Angeles late in February on his return from an adventurous trip into the wilds of the Sumatra jungles, where he hunted tigers. He had been in the green poisonous insect. He went to a sanitarium in Shanghai, but did not recover wholly from the infection and hurried to this country to undergo an operation in New York. While he was crossing the continent his mother, believed to be dangerously ill, was preparing for an operation in Athens for an intestinal trouble. He went to the six-Carleton compound in the city, where he heard, but news of his mother's condition led him to abandon that project and call for Europe. Exaggerated. When we reflect upon the white of an anemur has been sitting around in the refrigerator, apparently waiting to be used up in something, almost ever since we can remember, we think that all this talk about the American housewife reckless extravagance is somewhat exaggerated after all—Columbus (Ohio) State Journal. Japanese Have No Beds. The Japanese do not sleep on European beds, but on many thick, soft puffs one on top of each other upon the floor. For bed'covering they use more of the same kind of puffs than the ones we have has 20 much puffs. One of those which cover him is made in the shape of a kimono and has a velvet collar. Probably he creeps inside of this, if he feels sold in the night. MME. NEW SESSION OF COMB SHOWING THE THREE ROWS OF TEETH Learn the Adv.

This is one of the most popular houses, within the means of the average family. It has all of the modern conveniences and style and regardless the neighborhood in which it is built, we always hold its own in attractiveness. With a slight expense, the front porch could be glazed and add greatly to the commodiousness of the living room, and another feature which could well be added without additional expense, would be to extend the front windows to the floor, french style, and have them open onto this glazed porch. The porch floor in that case should be made flush with the living room floor so that in case the young people little like the children, they could circle out one window and in the next.

POCH KITCHEN 8'12' DINING E.K. 12'14' LIVING ROOM 14'24' POCH 8'24' This scale is readily distinguished from other scale insects by its shape and color, according to C. R. Jones of the Colorado Agricultural college. It resembles a minute elongated, curved shell, about one-eighth of an inch in length, and is of a dark brownish color. The eggs of this pest are laid beneath the scale in the fall and thus protected, they pass the winter. In early June, depending upon the temperature, the eggs hatch, and the tiny, pale, yellowish, young insects crawl from beneath the scale and wander about the twigs and branches, finally settling down on the bark, and insert their long, threadlike beaks into the substance which protects them while they develop, the females never move from that space. They may eventually secrete the brown scales which attract attention. Sometimes these insects become so numerous that entire branches are covered with scales. Effective control work can be accomplished against this pest by a thorough application of lime sulphur which tends to loosen the scales and allows natural enemies to work upon it. The solution is a solution of Black Leaf 40, one part to 800 parts of water, to which is added about six pounds of soap. This ROOF STORAGE CLOSET BED ROOM 10'x10' CL.

The kitchen is not large, but is complete in every respect, there being plenty of light over the sink where light often falls. The refrigerator is situated in the pantry. It is iceed from the back porch. The bathroom is cleverly built L-shape to fit in with the stairway, giving plenty of room for all the fixtures. One of the most desirable features of this house is its stucco covering. Being reinforced on triangular mesh galvanized steel fabric which will not rust, the cement plaster will cling absolutely tight under all circumstances, no cracks appearing through expansion or shrinkage. A very pleasing effect may be added by shingling with variegated shingles, adding a color note which ordinary roots often lack. The ends of the rafters give it a bungalow look. spray should be applied from June 1 to June 15, before the young scales have secreted sufficient scale to protect themselves. Dehydrated Vegetables Dehydrated vegetable products as substitute for fresh vegetables are galingine for fresh and favor through the efforts of the United States Department of Agriculture. The work has included sending quarter-pound packages of dehydrated vegetable soup mixture to 3,000 hotels for trial, and the reports declare that the soup is not only cheaper than that from fresh vegetables but equal to it in many respects. Many leading chefs, though naturally expected to be prejudiced against the innovation, have given their approval to the new material, suggesting some slight changes in the mixture, to the power of proponents told to add the 125 portions, but one hotel manager found that if made into only 48 portions the cost would be but little greater than that of fresh vegetables. The new products are being brought to the notice of hospitals and other institutions and the individual housewife.
