W. A. Thyreous 43 Years Successful N.A.A.C.P.MAKES REPORT A CONFERENCE WITH A PURPOSE FOR THE BAD YOU O READ OTHER PAPERS FOR THE GOOD YOU DO READ THE BYSTANDER VOL. XXVIII. NO. 15. N.A. A CONFERENCE A CONFERENCE WITH A PURPOSE Our public generally will look forward with keen interest to the work and results of the twentieth national conference called by the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian associations of North America to be held at Cincinnati, December 1 to 4. There is real need for this conference, not merely that it has been twelve years since the last national gathering under the auspices of the colored men's department but because it is clearly the duty of our people to ally themselves in every possible way with all practical efforts for world recovery and progress. Increased emphasis is being placed today on the necessity for solving racial problems, and this is a task to which all groups must apply their best intelligence and determination, in the truest spirit of co-operation. The responsibility of our people in this connection is great, both because we are directly concerned in the question and because we are in a more advantageous position than ever before to co-operate in its solution. We have in our own leaders men who are capable and forward-looking, fully abreast of the times, contributing to the betterment of our people and country in ways that are gratefully recognized. The institutions which are developing such leaders and bringing new inspiration and advancement to thousands of our youth and young men are recognized as true servants of civilization and prophets of a brighter tomorrow. Among these institutions of service the Young Men's Christian association has an important place. It is one of the outstanding mediums through which the needs of colored men and IN MEMORY OF OUR HEROES. (Associated Negro Press. Hampton, Va., Nov. 25.—"The world's greatest heroes are not those who have hungered and thirsted for fame," declared Dr. James E. Gress, principal of Hampton Institute, in his Armistice Day address, which was delivered at the unveiling, in the vestibule of the Memorial Church, of a handsome bronze tablet 'in memory of the men from Hampton Institute who died in the world war.'" The Died is the World War Lieut. Ralph T.

If the home brew does not eat the varnish off the table it may be safe to try a dose of it on the cat. If raw eggs cost 40 cents per doren, and cooked eggs $2.10, what does the answer seem to be in English? The man who discovered 1,500 stars is dead. He probably made less money than some people who find only one or two. ENCE WITH A boys may be dealt with. As a national and co-operative institution it has unusual powers and opportunities for service, both of which have vastly increased the past few years. When the department held its last national conference at Louisville, Ky., twelve years ago, the membership which it represented was small and there did not exist a single standard Y. M. C. A. building devoted to this particular work. Totay the department represents a membership of 23,000 men and boys and 10,000 students, and there are more than a dozen standard buildings carrying on its service in important centers. But there is as yet a great unoccupied field. How can inspiration and opportunity for spiritual, intellectual and physical bettermet be set forward as speedily and largely as possible into that field? The Cincinnati conference gives an opportunity to answer the question. There is promise of constructive achievement in the fact that it will be truly a national gathering, and that in its discussions it will have the benefit of the views of leaders of both races. The fact that it is a Christian gathering, with Christian purpose underlying all features of the program, is assuring. We are glad to urge the co-operation of our people in this forthcoming conference. All who can find opportunity to attend as delegates should do so. An unusual opportunity is presented for our people to make through this occasion a timely contribution to the solution of problems in which they are vitally concerned and which are conspicuous throughout the world today. "THEY DARED ALL" Pilgrims Never Daunted by the Perils of the Sea. Buoyed Up by Faith, Their Difficulties and Dangers Were Met But to Be Overcome. "These troubles being blowne over, and now all being compacte together in one shipe, they put to sea againe with a prosperous winde, which continued divorce days together, which was some incouragement unto them." So does William Bradford, in his history "of Plimouth Plantation," record the final setting out of the Mayflower from Plymouth on September 16, 300 years ago. It is with this passage that he opens his ninth chapter, that where in he deals "of their vlone, & how they passed the sea, and of their safe arrival at Cape Codd." In many ways it is one of the most interesting chapters in one of the most interesting books in the language. For although details are few, and the narrative, as ever, is calm and matter-of-fact, it presents just those essentials which enable each one to fashion for himself a satisfying picture of his own. The first impression to be gained from the record is, perhaps, one of the great labor and great slowness of this passage of the sea. At first there was the fair wind and a clear sky, and if there was some sadness as the coast of Devon was finally lost to sight in the September mist, there was much thankfulness, too, and joyful looking forward, and, as Bradford puts it, "some incouragente." The high seas in 1020 were, however, not hospitable to the little Mayflower. Three hundred years ago she was still plowing her way, westward, with the long-looked-for land still hundreds of miles ahead. Nevertheless, the worst of her troubles were over, for it was about mid-Atlantic that, with the fair winds and weather of her setting out almost forgotten in the storms that had followed, the Mayflower came so near to turning back once more toward England.

A. Thyreous came to the good old state of Iowa and started out to grow success. Every since that time he has been reaping abundantly from his ever-trying efforts, his wonderful business ability has made him successful in the getting most out of his business. Twenty years or more as a successful business man has made him useful in other good causes. Especially the Young Men's Christian association of the city his influence is keenly felt. The fraternities of which he represents crowns him with honor as a master of his job. As the state grand deputy of Elks lodge he has done extensive as well as effective work in opening up new fields for cultivation. Just a few weeks ago he toured the southern districts of the state and the result was many new clubs set in running order many people interested in the work that he is doing. The following cities and towns were visited by Mr. Thyreous: Albia, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa, Burlington and Buxton. Returning to his office in Des Moines, Thursday, November 17. The Bystander, the only Negro weekly printed in Iowa was not forgotten when Mr. Threous told of what was going on in Des Moines. He urged them to get the Des Moines Bystander if they wanted to keep up with what Des Moines colored people are doing.

Scores Success Sunday, Nov. 20 was the day given over to the educational committee of which Dr. J. A. Jefferson is chairman. The biggest crowd we have seen at the Y. M. C. A. was present. Hon. Judge Hubert Utterback was the speaker and for one hour he held eighty-six men and women spell bound. A more forceful instructive and inspiring talk was ever given by the judge. He emphasized the vital importance of the program of spirit, mind and body as carried out by the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. orchestra made its first appearance and the Wyatt quartet sang. We are grateful to the Y. M. C. A. for such wonderful programs as they are now promoting. We need more programs like the one given Sunday. Those who missed it may never have a chance to hear such again. The Religious Work Committee announces an open forum on the street car franchise next Sunday from 4 to 5 p. m. Every man is invited. WHAT PLANT WILL PLANT. (Associated Negro Press) Hazlehurst, Miss., Nov. 25.—J. T. Plant, formerly of Slidell, La., has leased the Ben Nelson plantations, four miles east of Hazelhurst, for three years at $100 per year for teams and all farm implements. Plant has made arrangements to plant the largest truck farm in the country. He is now planting thirty acres in carrots alone. William Henry Perkin was an odd sort of a youngster. When he was 13 years old and a student in the City of London School he heard of a series of lectures on chemistry during the noon recess. Young William Henry decided that the lectures would be of more value to him than his lunches, so he took in the lectures. Apparently the lectures made a decided impression upon the boy. Two years later he entered the laboratory of a chemist named Hofman in the Royal College of London and by the time he was 17, had started upon his career as a researcher. Perkin decided that his mission in life was to isolate phenentrene from coal tar and prepare artificial quinine. In order to speed the day when his task would be done he set up a private laboratory and worked overtime. While at work in this laboratory in the spring of 1856, he found in his test tube, while oxidizing some aniline oil, a black, sticky mass instead of clear crystals. He attempted to wash it out with alcohol when, to his surprise, he produced a wonderful purple solution—mauve, the first of the aniline dyes. Ten years later Perkin achieved his greatest triumph when he produced alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly made only from the root of the madder. Years later the British government knighted the man who first discovered the vast possibilities contained with coal tar but gave him little financial support or encouragement. It was left to German researchers to build up the industry and finally to obtain a strangle hold upon the trade READING Let's boost Lowry for a councilman, Let's boost Lowry for a councilman, Let's boost Lowry for a councilman, And give our race a chance.

In a recent address in Edinburgh the president of the Chemical Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, urging the correlation of scholastic knowledge with the experiences and contacts of daily life, said: "The quivering glint of massed bluebells in broken sunshine, the joyous radiance of young beech leaves against the stately cedar, the perfume of the hawthorne in the twilight, the florid majesty of rhododendron, the fragrant simplicity of lilac, periodically gladden the most careless heart and the least reverent spirit; but to the chemist they breathe an added message, the assurance that a new season of refreshment has dawned upon the world, and that those delicate syntheses, into the mystery of which it is his happy privilege to penetrate, once again are working their inimitable miracles in the laboratory of the human organism." Poetry, indeed! But chemists are practical poets. They produce the materials a nation must have if it hopes to live and compete with other nations. Few nations realized this truth, however, until the World War offered convincing proof by opening 100 percent explosive and closing 55 percent chemical. That opened their eyes, but unfortunately, Germany had a fifty year start and took the trouble to protect the advantage. —a hold so nrm that in 1914, the Kaiser was convinced that, with the aid of his chemists, he was in a position to conquer the world. On January 1, 1916, seven leading dye companies of Germany formed a dye trust to last fifty years with the idea of controlling the chemical business of the world. During this period they will maintain uniform prices, wages and hours of labor, and exchange patents and trade secrets. They will divide the foreign business on an even basis and share the profits.

There was a time when marriage meant a rather placid voyage on the sea of life, but that was before the day of submarines. Those who engage their appetites against the cookery of commerce find that eggs cost as much now as when they were not cheap. And possibly if it were not for the nuts and boneheads in this world about half the population would have to go to work or starve. That Englishman's announcement that science can't drive away fogs is a terrible blow to those who expect Britishers to see a joke. PRICE FIVE CENTS ORT N. A. A. C. P. Makes Annual Report Officers of Local Branch Elected. At the annual meeting and election of officers of the Des Moines Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at St. Paul's church Monday evening the annual reports of the officers showed that during the past year the local association had contributed the sum of fifty dollars in cash as well as furnished the assistance of its Legal Redress Committee toward the winning of the Dorothy Quail-Gross discrimination case in the local courts in addition to co-operating with the national headquarters in the following movements. 1. The sending of Dr. W. E. DuBois and Mr. Walter F. White to the Pan-African conference held at London and Paris upon which trip they were successful in organizing the interests of a number of influential Englishmen in the cause of justice for the Negro and secured the promise of Mr. H. G. Wells, an eminent English author that he would soon make a visit to America to study the achievements of the colored people in the United States with a view to writing a book on the subject. 2. Again saved the lives of the six men who have been three times convicted and sentenced to death for alleged participation in the Arkansas riots and secured new trials for six others who were convicted in this same case, upon which case alone the National Association has spent the sum of over ten thousand dollars. 3. Succeeded in inducing the New York World to enter the fight against the Ku Klux Klan which has resulted in a nation wide expose and a congressional investigation of this pernicious enemy of our race. After a ten years' fight and the expenditure of more than thirty-five thousand dollars the National Association has succeeded in having introduced and favorably recommended for passage by the United State Congress the Dyer bill making lynching a national crime. The newly elected officers of the Des Moines branch are: Atty. J. B. Morris, president; Mrs. Ione Burnaugh, vice president; Miss Mamie James, secretary; A. P. Trotter, treasurer, and an executive committee consisting of Hon. Harvey Ingham, editor of the Register and Tribune; Rev. Dr. C. S. Medbury, pastor University Church of Christ; Dr. J. A. Jefferson, Atty. Geo. H. Woodson, Atty. S. Joe Brown, Mrs. S. Bates, Mrs. N. C. Marshall, H. Gould and R. N. Hyde. They will be presented to the public for the first time at the monster emancipation meeting which will be held by the association in one of the large churches on Monday evening January 1st.

This, we believe, is a step in the right direction. It has ever been the plea of the Negro Press that we be given an equal and fair chance to show our ability. We believe for the first time in the history of politics in Polk county, the Negro has been given an equal and fair chance. The Citizens Franchise Committee in recognition of the great American principal "Equality" has organized a colored voters division with Attorney Charles P. Howard as its executive head and four competent stenographers as his assistants. This department is working night and day organizing the colored voters in support of the franchise. It is not the intent of the writer to discuss the franchise, but we do consider it worthy of note that for once the colored voters are with the proposition rather than for it. In the past the colored voters have always been for a proposition but never with it. This time we are with it. We see no reason why this type of organization should not be continued. The Colored Voters Division of the Citizen's Franchise Committee would be glad to receive every one at its offices, on the ground flour of the Securities building, and would be glad to render any service possible relative to the franchise.

It was not unusual 150 years ago, for Indian monkeys to have 1500 trees, which had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the pearmonon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry. THE LOWEY CAMPAIGN. The Negroes of Des Moines are a unit on nominating and electing Dr. W. H. Lowry as councilman. Never before has such enthusiasm been displayed in the interest of a candidate.

Dr. Lowry has not been called upon to take the lead and worry about the financial end of the proposition.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 27 PAUL'S VOYAGE AND SHIPWRECK LESSON TEXT—Acts 21:14. GOLDEN TEXT—I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day—II Tim. 1:12. REFERENCE MATERIAL — II Cor. tit. 11:14. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of a Shipwreck. JUNIOR TOPIC-Paul in a Shipwreck. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Storm and Shipwreck. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Paul's Power Over Men. 1. A Stormy Voyage (vv. 1-20). 1. The ship. A ship of Alexandria selling from Myra to Italy. 2. The company. Two of Paul's friends, Aristarchus and Luke, are permitted to go with him. Besides these three there were 273 in the ship (v. 7). 8. The storm. The ship made little headway on account of unfavorable winds. Paul advised that they winter in Fair Havens (vv. 9-12), but his advice was unheeded. The gentle south wind deceived them, so they loosed from Crete, only to be soon overtaken by the tempestuous wind, called Eurocyldon. They did everything possible to save the ship. They took up the boat which was towed behind; they bound great cables around the ship to strengthen it for the storm; they lightened the ship by bringing down from the masts and rigging everything that was superfluous; and finally, the cargo and tackling of the ship itself were thrown overboard. All this seemed to be of no avail, so that all hope of being saved was removed. It seemed that wicked men and material forces were combined to prevent the great apostle from reaching Rome. However, this is only apparent, for these very experiences were overruled by God to bring good cheer and salvation to many on the way. We should remember that tempestuous winds, as well as the soft breezes, await God's faithful ones. The presence of storms does not prove that we are going the wrong way. 11. Paul's Serene Faith (vv. 21-28). To a man who did not know God, the failure of the sun and stars to shine for many days, the fading of all hope, was natural; but to the man of faith, hope still burns brightly. God is just as near to His own in the midst of a stormy sea as in their quiet homes. Note Paul's behavior: 1. His rebuke for their failure to heed his advice at Fair Havens (v. 21). This was not a mere taunt, but a reference to the wisdom of his former advice urging them to give him a more respectable hearing. 2. Bids them be of good cheer (v. 22). He inspired them with hope. 3. He promises them safety (v. 22). Though the ship would go to pieces, every man's life would be saved. 4. The source of his information (vv. 23, 24). The angel of God had revealed it unto him. 5. The reason of Paul's calm faith (v. 23). "Whose I am and whom I serve." III. The Ship's Crew All Safe on Land (vv. 27-44). This was exactly as the Lord had said. We can rest assured that all God has spoken shall come to pass, even though there be a broken ship, brutal soldiers and a perilous crew. Aside from the fulfillment of God's promise, the most important part of this section is the splendid sanity which characterizes Paul's action on the way. Two things especially mark his sanctified common sense. 1. His vigilance had detected that the sailors had planned to escape. He knew how much they would be needed presently, and at once took steps to prevent their escape. He went straight to the man in charge and said, "Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved." He practiced the truth that genuine reliance upon God is the all-powerful incentive to human action. God's decrees always include the means for their accomplishment. 2. He knew that the famishing condition of the people was not the most favorable for the physical struggle which was soon to be undergone by them when they must struggle through the water to the shore. So he gets them to take a substantial breakfast. He had the good sense to look after that which was necessary. It was no time to talk to these men about their souls, for their bodies needed the main attention. His prayer for that meal had more effect upon the people than his preaching would have had. Let us learn from this the divine method of administration, namely, God overruling while man trusts Him and acts. A vigorous faith manifests itself in reasonable action. And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities. And the people blessed all men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem—Nehemiah, 11:1 and 2. ANNOUNCEMENT.

M. E. church. Having about succeeded in the completion of the basement of our church, a brick structure, 28x85, which consists of an assembly hall, gymnasium, bath room and cafeteria. The upper story when completed, will consist of an auditorium, music room, reading room and pastor's study. An informal program was rendered for the opening, under directions of Mrs. Geo. Perkins. Chorus, "He is Mine;" instrumental solo, Mollie Mollie Madison; trio "Carolina Lullaby," Mesdames Robert Smith, Fred Coleman and James Neome; solo, "A Clean Heart," Mrs. R. Smith; solo, "A Little Bit of Love," by the writer; after which the Rev. N. B. Jones, pastor, spoke concerning the object of the features of activities being for the uplift of our people in the community, which has received the highest endorsement of all the citizenry of Fort Dodge of his work. He then introduced Mr. D. A. Dishman, who in his remarks made some reference of what had been accomplished by Rev. Jones within three years. After which the Rev. Jones stated that we had a very distinguished visitor in our presence, Prof. L. C. Jones, the principal and founder of Piney Woods Institute of Braxton, Miss., which he said would be of some interest to have him address us at this time. One who had so distinguished himself through his accomplishments as a great vital factor in the educational uplife of our people. The audience cheered and applauded heartily as Prof. Jones ascended the rostrum. Prof. Jones than stated that it was with some reductancy that he attempted to speak to the public on account of the many things that had been said of him. However he seemed to have well in hand the things that he could best interest his hearers. His address was of a rare treat and of great inspiration. The story of his vision and his faith, his belief and determination, in his possibilities to succeed to that of a great end was really electrifying. He said that hard work, persistence and keeping at a thing and doing something worth while, was an assurance to success. The bare facts were laid open by him, that one must discover their possibilities within themselves, then have the moral courage to prosecute along lines that would bring greatest results. He said there were more places to be filled then there were race people to fill them. "Hold up your heads and feel that there is an opportunity in life for you, just as good as anyone. Conditions are better everywhere even in the south. The better class of white people are thinking. A new day is coming." Prof. Jones spoke in words of highest praise and commendation of the pastor and his work and worth here in this community. The high estimation in which he is held by the best white citizens, of his honest dealings and zealousness. We hesitated not in believing him in this statement when we consider his accomplishments not only for the good of our people but for the good of humanity. His reference of time, referred to in his remarks was exhibited in a very mastery way. Prof. Jones is an Iowan product, having graduated from the state college at Iowa City with high honors in 1903. As a mark of our appreciation for the great inspiration he brought us Mr. J. W. Madison arose and made a motion which was seconded by a little girl, Eugenia Brown, that we give Prof. Jones a standing vote of thanks and a chantanuana salute. The pastor thought it would be in keeping with the eternal fitness of things to have a lady of the church to speak at this hour, and Mrs. Geo. Perkins was introduced in her graceful manner, as women always are, she gave great polish to all that was said. The doors of the cafeteria were thrown open and refreshments served.-Mrs. Josephine M.
