MRS. DONALD M'LE.AN.
A Movement to Encourage Patriotism
Among American College C:-..ls.

Among American College G-llS.
To the originality Of Mrs. Donald
Mclean, elected this season regent Of
the New York City chapter IF the
Daughters OF the American Reyolu-
ton, is due the birth and develop
ment CT a brilliant idea. This Is moth
ing less than the founding chair of
American history. particularly Of the
colonial and revolutionary periods, at
Barnard college, the feminine annex
Of Columbia college. 1t is the first en-
terpl-ise of it's kind yet entered upon
men or women.
Mrs. Mclean. author of this notable
movement, Is the wife OF Donald Me-
Lean, former general appraiser of the
port of New York. and Is a daughter
of the late Judge John Richie Of the
Maryland court Of appeals, man
famed beyond the limits of his state
for his powers Of oratory, his integrity,
legal knowledge and keen intellect.
Born in Frederick, Maryland, the
town of Barbara Frietchie, Mrs Me-
Lean first saw the light Of day in the
states most celebrated house, Pros
pect Hall, the home of her grand
father, the late Judge William Pink
ney Maulsby. Is mansion built by the
famous Dulaney family in old colonial
times. Mrs. Mclean was born in the
haunted room in which tradition
chronicles the wslling up of a young
girl because Of a romantic love affair
Mrs. Mclean is characterized by
broadly liberal tenets in all directions,
is an earnest worker in church and
public affairs. The founding of a
chair of American history at Barnard
college by the New York City Chapter
Of the Revolutionary society, under
Mrs. McLeans regency, has set an eX-
ample in practical patriotism for all
like societies to pattern after The
other chapters of the Revolutionary
association, located in every state and
territory in the union, have exper-
fenced an awakening in contemplating
the weighty step taken by their sis
ter chapter: a step which illustrates

Of the parent association, the National
Society of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution.
Such historical advantages are
needed all over the land, and that the
opportunity for such knowledge should
first be made possible in New York,
and by the feminine descendants of
Revolutionary patriots, in the sister in
stitution of old Kings college, makes
the event a more happy and fitting
one than 1t could have been with nut
such associa tons. The work is being
sustained at present by an amount
raised annually, while the endowment
fund Is being accumulated for the
future permanent historical professor

systematic and thorough study of that
period in our country's annals most

On the 14th of the present month
Mrs. Harriet Beacher-Stowe was S4
years old. She was the daughter of a
Congregational clergyman. This church
has always had a proud record. Itnever
compromised with slavery. 1t was
opposed to it from beginning to ending
and was an excellent place to train a
mind to write book like Uncle Tom IS
Cabin. . She began life poor. Her
literary work commenced surrounded
by the scenes and cares of household
duties. and few pages were written
during the short respites from the
manifold duties of well regulated
home. The success OF her book has
been phenomenal and has been
translated and read by different
nations.
The Harriet Beecher-Stowe Reading
Circle of this city has name from
which to draw inspiration and strength
to do it's work. We hope the club may
continue to honor the name. The
women Of the country are educating
themselves along all the lines OF
usefulness. Since the organization OF
clubs among women they have shown
marked improvement and some of the
prettiest gems Of thought are to-day
produced by the women of America.

Many people have told us personally
that they were glad we published the
articles in regard to hypocrites, saying
that such men were the greatest
stumbling blocks in the way of Negro
progress. While we feel gratifed to
know that these articles have attracted
attention and may lead to the ac-
complishment of good results, we will
say that we do not wish to injure any
mans good reputation and hope that
all will be willing to stand by the
record they have made for themselves.
Many are afraid to speak what
they know to be true. sWe
need men of courage" to use
phrase from a sermon delivered in the
Baptist church some time ago. We
think it better that few irresponsible
ministers be exposed than that Negro
society and homes be contaminated by
such men. We cannot rise above our
women but God will help us all to rise
above a poor and dishonest minister.
We do not intend to stop with
the evils of ministers. We will treat
of different evils as they appear te
public view '.Smite a scorner and the
simple will beware; and reprove one
that hath understanding, and he will
understand knowledge" BY exposing

The Sunday School convention of the
st. Paul district convened at Daven-
port in Bethel A. M. E. church June
IL. After devotional exercise, Presid-
ing Malone appointed S. B. Wallup, of
Moline, acting district superintendent.
Mrs. g. HI. Wade, of Cedar Rapids, was
elected secretary, Miss Mary Jenkins,
of Moline, assistant secretary, Miss
Mary Greenway, of Muscatine, treas
urer, JAS. L. Cameron, of Iowa City,
reporter for BYsTANDER.
The convention then proceeded to
carry out its regular program. Many
interesting papers were read by dele
gate and although there was not a
large represention of schools, on ac-
count Of the great distance of many,
yet the papers introduced much valu-
able discussion, and not delegate who
was present that will not return home
more enthused and determined to ac-
complish more good in the cause.
The reception accorded the delegates
was one of the most brilliant and sue
cessful social events of eastern Iowa.
Davenport, with the assistance of Mo-
line and Rock Island did herself proud
as an hostess and entertainer. A short
program was prepared by Mrs. Till
man, which exhibited the histrionic
talent of the ''Tri-cities. There was
not one who did not seem to enjoy
themselves 1t can also be said of the
I;colored citizens of Davenport that their
| hospitality is unbounded, and should
there ever be another Afro-American
convention appointed at Davenport we
think that we can safely say that the
Afro American citizens stand ready
| with open hearts and homes to receive
them. Too much praise cannot be
given Rev. Tillman and his amiable
wife for the mastery manner in which
they arranged for the conference and
convention. After a two-days' session
the officers of the convention were
elected for the ensuing year, as fol-
lows: Jas. L. Dameron. of Iowa City,
was elected district superintendent,
and S. B. Walkup, Of Moline, was
elected chairman of the executive COM
mittee The remarks of the presiding
elder, made at the close of the conven-
ton, were fraught with many good
and cheering words The presiding
elder is naturally an orator of no small
ability, but on this occasion he sur
prised his many admirers. Thus
closed very successful and enthusias-
tic convention.

The church federation has been sue
cessful in closing up every saloon in
Des Moines on the ground of the in
sufficiency of its petition The
federation is not yet satisfied. 1t is
now opposing the saloon men in obtain
ing a petition that may be deemed suf-
icient. 1t has resorted to blackmail
methods and will send women through
the city to obtain pledges from business
men that they will not sign the petit
ton of consent. Everyone understands
what it means when business man
refuses to allow them to dictate as to
what shall be done in the premises.
Such methods are driving men over to
the saloon side and men who did not
sign the petition last year will do SO
this week. The church federation has
a right to it's opinion, but it has no
right to set itself up as a paragon OF
goodness and wisdom. Its opinions are
worth no more than those of men who
are outside of the organization and
who make any claim to respectability.
The majority of the people OF the
world are outside of the churches and
vet the world moves on and is growing
better and wiser each.
