Iowa State Bystander

K. KLAN EMPEROR FAINTS FOR THE BAD YOU DO READ OTHER PAPERS FOR THE GOOD YOU DO READ THE BYSTANDER VOL. XXVIII No.10 K. KI Bystander Gets Poison Pin Letter Des Moines. Today. The Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. Durr: After investigation we find that you do the editorial work of the Bystanders and note that you on several occasions have attacked the morale of certain things and although you may be right you are stepping on risky grounds that endangers your life. I know you are a bred and born fighter for things you think to be right but, there are certain things that as to regardness of their right and wrong you can't attack for they are too strong. It is always new ideas that rum things although they are right. You can't afford to pick at public officers, the wrong doings of organizations run by other people. What you need to do is to give us the news and that's all. The best way to stop segregation, discrimination is to let it alone. Don't the Bible say "humble is the way" and God will take care of his children. It also says you can't punish sin in high places? I know you are one of what they call the "new. Negro" but the safety of your durn neck should mean more to you than the rights as you call it than your durn neck. Save your neck if the race (Negro) goes to hell. Your unknown WATCHER. THE BYSTANDER REPLY. As to attacking the morale of things and organizations and endangering our lives by so doing it is a minor matter. The danger interests us about as much as a house fly would on the back of a show elephant. We try to be sure that we are right then we go ahead. There are no things that we can't afford to fight for especially when they are wrong. The best people want right to prevail and if the Bystander's contribution towards righting of wrongs can be given in the form of an attack it will go the limit. It will hew to the line and let the chips fall where they care to. Speaking of new ideas my dear sir, it was new ideas that broke the shackles of slavery, made lightning, wind, waters and oil, the servants of man. It was new ideas that caused America to be a home for the free. When a man ceases to think in new terms he starts retrogreening—going back into the ruts. Any man who makes such statements as the 'unknown watcher' as he calls himself hasn't any guts—he is a coward of the basest type. We admit that humbleness is good but there are times when it ceases to be a virtue and when it comes to smuggling gons in sheep clothing we are off. We may not punish sin in high places but we will do our share to make it miserable as we can. Your argument is absurd. We fight for the right first last and all the time and our necks will take care of themselves. You are a sneaking yellow man—no traits of bravery run in your dead body. We defy you to flay us openly. You are to be pitted rather than retaliated. Accept our cordial invitation to make your name public and we will debate the question with you before any intelligent audience in this country and you are less than a man if you don't take this up. Remember my dear sir, we are fighting for right always regardless of who it hurts and to what extent. Opportunity For Army Officers (By the Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee Institute, Oct. 13.—There are at present on the active list in the United States army, only two Negro officers, namely, Lieutenant Colonel O. Davis, Calvary, nor professor of military science and tactics at Tuskegee Institute, and Major John E. Green infantry professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce university. In addition to these two line officers on the active list and Colonel Chas. Young who is on the retired list, there are four colored regiments in the regular army, namely, the Ninth and Tenth army and the Twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth infantry. There are at present almost 8,000 vans in the army for the grade of graded lentenent. Here is where the are has his opportunity. Until re- Prejudice Wins In Court Here Thorsdale Tragaty Geo. H. Woodson and C. P. Howard petitioned the Polk county court to dismiss the indictment against Joe Williams who is charged with the murder of Sarah Thursdale. The petitions that embodied the reasons named below: **Woodson's Objections.** The ten objections of Attorney Woodson are: "The grand jury was not properly impaneled and the whole panel is unlawful." "The indictment was not legally drawn and the grand jury had no authority to investigate the case of Joe Williams." "The proceedings of the grand jury did not contain the names or the sex of certain lawful citizens and of certain classes of citizens who are entitled to be represented on it." "No women were daily impaneled." "No colored persons of Negro blood were impaneled on the grand jury." "The grand jury was selected from a specific class of citizens, and was not impaneled by the proper lawful officers." **Inflammatory Statements.** "The defendant, Joe Williams is innocent of the crime charged." "It is impossible to receive a fair and impartial trial unless the indictment be quashed for the reason that there has been no opportunity for the defense to know who the accusers are, or how to meet the evidence of the prosecution." "Because of actions of certain public officials and the public press, by preparing erroneous, malicious, inflammatory, prejudiced and injurious statements against Williams for the purpose of infambling the public mind and stirring up public sentiment, in order to stir up race prejudice and incite mob violence, in order to make sure of a Paul Laurnce Dunbar Widow Coming DUNBAR'S WIDOW TO APPEAR HERE At a meeting held Thursday evening at the Y. W. C. A. Center and attended by representatives of the various churches, lodges and other organizations of the city Mrs. S. Joe Brown announced the appearance of Mrs. Alice Nelson-Dunbar, widow of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar at St. Paul's A. M. E. church, this city on Monday evening October 31. Mrs. Nelson in addition to being the surviving widow of America's greatest poet is herself a writer of note and is prominent in the National Club and Political organizations among the colored women of the country, and is appearing for the first time in the state of Iowa. Another meeting has been called for next Thursday evening at the same place at which time will be organized a ladies' chorus of fifty voices from the various club of the city which will furnish music for the occasion. All women who can sing are invited to be present and take part in this which promises to be the grandest female chorus every organized among our people in this city. cently to become an officer in the regular army, through examination, it was necessary to be an enlisted man. The difficulties, however, which the government has experienced since the close of the great war, in securing sufficient offensives have caused the bars to be let down, so that at present a civilian may take the preliminary examination for a commission in the regular army and if he is successful in this examination may enlist as a reservist or become a member of the national guard after which his final examination may be taken. Even if successful in this final examination he can still not accept the commission and remain in civil life. Poison for Rabbits. Poisoning by means of phosphored grain is said to be an effective means of checking the increase of rabbits in certain parts of the British DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13 1921 MOB VIOLENCE Harding LAW ENFORCEMENT Will He Strike Him With Dyer Bill? wrongful conviction against the defendant by making it impossible for him to obtain a fair and impartial jury to try and hear his case; and as another and further reason for granting this motion, the honorable court is referred to the original indictment and to the evidence attached thereto, and to the grand jurors selected, and to the grand jury panel, and to all proceedings and papers connected with said case.' It is certainly dark for Williams in view of the fact that it is reported that Williams is a favorite among the female sex around Valley Junction and that evidently his rivals bone wedged war against him. It is hard for the disinterested public to reason why so many new witnesses are being brought up. It is current opinion among certain classes that all the courts and the public wants is that someone be punished for the crime regardless of his innocence or guilt and evidently it is to be some Negro. President For H. Johnson HARDING STANDS Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.—Henry Lincoln Johnson is at his political headquarters on Pennsylvania avenue and is really himself again in every way. During the course of an interview which ran the gamut from the world's series to the Haitian probe, the "colonel" made this remark, with all the old-time Georgia "peep;" "You can tell them that I'm going to be confirmed all right." It now appears that some one put one over on the newspapers here when a week or two ago news was published broadcast that Mr. Johnson would be reported unfavorably. Many attributes the source of the "will o' the wisp" report to Senator "Tom Watson of Lincoln Post Raps Chief Police LINCOLN POST FLAYS CHIEF OF POLICE For Saunders' alleged statement before the Lions club of this city to the effect that the cause of the great crime wave here was due to the fact that 50 per cent of the Negroes were selling and making home brew. The following is a part of the committees report from the Lincoln Post: Indignant over a charge so grossly incorrect as to the percentage, for there are practically 8,000 Negroes in Des Moines, and to say that 4,000 were engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors in the town is gross misrepresentation and pernicious because the Negro population was wilfully singled out, as the cause of the crime wave, Lincoln Post No. 126, American Legion, sent a committee composed of Chas. P. Howard, Arthur P. Trotter, and James B. Morris to confer with Mr. Saunders upon this matter. The result of the conference was as follows: Mr. Saunders admitted that he did not know the Negro population of Des Moines which in itself proves that he made the statement with reckless disregards as to the truth or falsity of the charge, that practically all his dealings with colored people had been with those of a police court character, and that the same ratio of illicit sale of intoxicants prevailed among the people of Des Moines as a whole. Georgia. It has been learned from a disinterested party, one who is strictly on the inside, that it has not been long since that President Harding called in Senator Ball, chairman of the district committee, and Senator Carper, another of the members, and insisted that old warhorse "Gone," be confirmed. RACE RIOT IS STAGED BY NEW ORLEANS YOUTH New Orleans, La., Oct. 13.—Four arrests followed a series of riot calls last night when police put an end to a clash between twenty-five white youths and an equal number of Negroes who, according to statements made to the authorities, have been going under the name of the "Black Ku Klux Klan" and have caused uneasiness in an up-town neighborhood for several days. Two white boys and two Negroes, all charged with disturbing the peace, were taken into custody. In the fight preceding their arrest a number of shots were fired. The police found no indications that any one had been injured seriously. Hon. Geo. Woodson to be Married Notice is hereby given that the marriage of Hon. George H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, to Miss Mary Montague of California, will be solemnized at St. Paul's A. M. E. church at 7:30 p. m., Saturday, Oct. 22, 1921 This ceremony is made public at the request of friends and all are welcome. There are to be no other invitations and no further service of any kind. (Signed) Man. Salva Brown When we reflect upon the white of all we must 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 house is a reckless extravagance is somewhat exaggerated after all—Columbia (Ohio) State Journal NEGRO POLICE TELL RECORDS. Following the interrogation in our former edition Oct. 2 regarding the police all-over the city representatives of the Bystander have had the pleasure of finding out the record made by them. One man asserts that during the month of September he arrested thirty-seven people. Another said he went over that mark by two having arrested one prostitute four times. Negro Press Great Asset (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 13.—Assurance without performance is as "a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." The Associated Negro Press has no mission in the present political turmoil, as it affects colored Americans, except to give the news, as it happens, and to demand justice for all the people. The release announcing information concerning the attitude of the Republican administration and the party itself, in the affairs of colored Americans, as given out by The Associated Negro Press exclusively, has caused wide comment. The information was authentic, without question, it is for the people to state whether they believe, "yet and still," or whether they propose to continue battling for the things they believe to be right and just. So far as the long telescope of the A. N. P. service is able to glean, there is to be no let up in the onward march of independent action, and fusion advantage. Prsbyterian Discusses Negres PRESBYTERIANS HEAR AND DISCUSS NEGROES Wednesday might have very properly been styled as "Negro Day" at the Synodical Assembly of the Iowa Home and Foreign Missionary societies which held their annual assembly at the Central Presbyterian church this week. At the Wednesday afternoon session Mrs. S. Joe Brown, delivered one of the principal addresses taking for her subject "Des Moines and Its Colored Citizens" in which she quoted statistics showing the number of Negroes in Des Moines, the number owning their own homes; the number in each of the various lines of business, the names of the various religious organizations and the number of members in each and the number and character of the various clubs and fraternal organizations which proved to be a great revelation not only to the visitors but also to the members of the society who live in Des Moines. This address was followed by a vocal duet by Misses Loreau Crawford and Pharon Robinson, two of our high school girls, which was also well received. At the evening session of the same day one of the principal addresses was by Miss Barr, a white field secretary of the national assembly of this same organization who took as her subject "The Awakened Negro" in which she paid a glowing tribute to the Negro scholar, the Negro business man and the Negro mechanic and urged the other members of the organization to subscribe for and read the "Bystander" and other Negro newspapers published by Negroes in order that they might learn something about Negroes other than those who get into the daily papers because of having committed some infraction of the criminal laws. Mrs. Samuel Joseph Brown (white) of Panora, Iowa, is presiding over the assembly which closed its session NTS Simmons Topples Over at Questions Friends Apply Stimulants When He Topples Over. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Oct. 13.—Closing an all day defense of the Ku Klux Klan, William J. Simmons, its imperial wizard, toppled over in a chair today while the chairman of the house investigating committee was attempting to stop the applause which broke before the crowd knew he had collapsed. Friends of Mr. Simmons rushed to his side and supplied stimulants, but as it was evident he was in no condition to continue, the hearing, filled with many dramatic inecdents, was adjourned until tomorrow. Physicians later reported his condition was not serious. DES MOINES NBL Des Moines Negro Business League in a recent meeting outlined a streauous racial uplift plan to be put over during the winter months. The regular monthly meeting date of the league is the second Tuesday in each month. The executive board meets at luncheon each Friday noon formulating and discussing plans for the uplift of the Des Moines Negro. Important literature has been compiled by the Business Bureau which is headed by Vivian L. Jones and will be distributed to interested persons soon. SON HERE E. Davidson Washington was in the city this week in the interest of Tuskegee Institute. While here Mr. Washington was the guest of Atty. C. P. Howard. He addressed the Lincoln Post, the Lions club, the Roosevelt club and the Fity Federation of Women's clubs (white). Society received some refreshing news the past three weeks by the rumor that the veteran Atty. Geo. H. Woodson is about to become married. The lady of honor we have not been able to get her name, but it is rumored that she formally lived here and moved to California and is now in the city. E. N. WARREN. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Des Moines have incorporated under the state laws a $10,000 corporation and will soon construct a three story building on Twelfth and Park streets of this city. Mr. E. N. Warren is the chairman of the board of directors of the new corporation and is in touch with the Knights and Daughters of Tabor all over the state. The new building which will be the only one of its kind in the city will be used for a lodge hall and business offices. This is the first time that any lodge has really begun a similar constructive work in the city. The model for the building is shown in the show windows of the Handy and Sullivan Undertaking naval and Sullivan shown at the Cousin's Grocery store.

All of which reminds that the Negro's greatest friend is the Negro. Mr. Elmer Stirman, the manager of the Lincoln theatre is to be congratulated upon his sincere effort to make the Lincoln theatre a success. He is one colored man that works in a way that the people of this city can not help but appreciate and they should show their appreciation in the form of patronizing the Lincoln theatre. The theatre can not succeed without the patronage of the people. It is a place that colored people can go and not be embarrassed by segregation and the like yet we do not feel that the people are giving the theatre the patronage that they should. There are enough colored people who go to the other theatres down'town to all Lincoln theatre each night. The pictures they show there are all first class and are mostly from the theatres down town that the colored people can't attend. Talking about helping one another, here is a young man that absolutely does his part, now what is the Negroes' alibif? The announcement of the National Laundrymen's association, from their recent convention held in Cleveland, Ohio, that they will erect a "laundry institute" in Chicago, to cost probably a million dollars, opens a flood of thoughts. This institute will be equipped with all of the latest machinery in producing immaculate apparel for the people and students will be taught the art of laundering. Do you remember, way back in the good old days, when colored women and Chinamen did practically all of the laundering for the nation! Do you remember when colored men did practically all of the whitewashing and cleaning! Do you remember when colored barbers did practically all of the barbering! Do you remember when colored caterers did practically all of the catering! This was notably true in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. Do you remember when colored boys did practically all of the shoe shining? Do you remember when colored coachmen did practically all of the driving? Do you remember many other things that we used to do, and do not do now, in the economic field of action! What's wrong? Who's to blame? Our big trouble was in not mixing brains with brawn. We were contented to drift along in the same old rut, year in and year out. Then we got to a point where we shrunk in a measure of false pride from doing work in the various lines mentioned. We didn't want folks to know that we were "menials," whatever that may mean. THE POLICE SCREAMLE. The quietness of the Bystander office was marred several days ago by a fury stricken duet of police who came to inquire regarding an article, in a recent edition that asked, "Were the Police Slackers." It was made plain to them that if they were not slackers they had no right whatever to get all he up over the interrogation. One of the men went so far as to go into E. Winns second hand store and snatched a copy of the Bystander that was displayed in a window and throw it into the streets. It seems as if they had the idea that the Bystander force could be "bullied." If it is not plainly understood, it will be in the future that whatever the Bystander says, it means, and at any time it feels that it is best, it will question the fidelity of the person or organisation that has anything to do with representation of the Negro More than ten thousand Armenian girls have been rescued from Turkish harems through the help and generosity of America. This is the statement given out by the Near East Relief, which is making the saving of these tragic victims of Turkish cruelty one of the most important features of its work. That it is a work which in itself justifies the millions that America has spent in this stricken land is testified to by little Miss Eliza Dodurian, a twenty-year-old Armenian girl recently arrived in this country. Miss Dodurian, through the intervention of American missionaries, was herself soared A. the sufferings of exile and the horrors of slavery; but she knows all too well the terrible fate of her sisters and friends.
