DEATH TO HYPOGRITES.

The boy preacher, Montrose Thorn
ton, caused quite sensation in
Muscatine some time ago, and now
comes preacher named Perry Thur
man of Springfield, H., who has been
placed under ST 900 bonds for criminal
assault upon a woman. It is under
stood that he has had long and
checkered career, but luck has been on
his side The people of Iowa have long
suffered at the hands Of men who
claimed to be followers of God, and
THE iowa STATE BYsTANDER will soon
Give a short review OF the crimes of
Negro ministers in this state. Good
homes have been wrecked by them and
good men and ministers have suffered
by such associations. Many people
seem to hold to the idea that it is not
necessary for minister to be man.
1t is erroneous. Man comes first, and
iftone is not man he should not be a
minister We have to-day in the city
of Des Moines Negro minister who is
a thief, a libertine and general all
around scoundrel, who should be hung
or in the penitentiary for life. Yet he
is alleged to be '.child" of God, has
license to preach after being expelled
from church for an immoral crime, and
marries people and arises in Sunday
school on the Sabbath day and points
out the way to God to innocent children
and to good, true and lovable women
and girls. There is no use in parading
a criminal before the youth who attend
Sabbath schools, for the good reason
that it gives them the wrong concep-
ton of what constitutes man and q
teacher They know OF his evil life
and at first are surprised, but later be-
come accustomed to and may follow his
example. There is no objection to any
man reforming, but there is serious OBJ
tioa to making heroes OF every hber-
tine, thief and hypocrite. Such man
should begin at the foot of the ladder,
if he can reach even that point.
We will have more to say later The
hypocrites must take their proper
places in Negro society if it would mn

The decision of Judge Golf, in the
South Carolina case, has been reversed
by the United States court of appeals.
The registration law stands and the
fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution can be abrogated by any
state. Chief Justice Fullerton (dem.)
and Judge Simonton (dem were OF
the court of appeals with Judge Goff5
The registration law was planned by
Robert Toombs, an unreconstructeu
rebel who with jeff Davis, would not
become citizen of the United States
even under the general amnesty law.
Bob Toombs claims that the govern
ment of the United States owes him an
apology. This decision by the court is
very discouraging to the Negroes, but
greater obstacles have been overcome
and crushed We hope that the
doctrine that man is citizen of the
United States before he is citizen of
any state will soon be recognized as
a sound principle and that no TECHNICAL
ties in law will allow an abrogation OF
any part of the constitution.

The attempt to establish co-opera-
tive store should not fail. 1t is som e.
thing that is needed and is practical
solution of a vexing question. The idea
that such store should equal the larg-
est. store in the city in amount OF stock
and capital aud clerical force should be
thrust aside. The mammoth oak tree
is the growth of many years and
springs from an acorn. Men who have
been failures in business enterprises OF
tt. cir own and are known to be dishon-
est cannot possibly make such an en-
terprise successful. Men OF known IN
tegritv in business and social life and
who are morally and mentally sound
are needed to give confidence and unite
those who have means to invest. We
have plenty Of such men. The Ne
groes of Des Moines have been waiting
for outside influence to better their
condition Try and see if something
cannot be done in this direction by
every member taking an active interest
in cooperation in all laudable enter
prises.

Following is a quotation from Dennis
S. Thompson's Kansas City talk on
ssWe Must Go Forward and Not Back
ward:" .'While we are discussing
emigration to Africa and every other
country known to mankind, we should
by no means live in ignorance OF the
fact that, although a great number OF
our people are emigrating, there Will
always be the greater number in this
country, and we should employ the
best methods possible to enlighted and
elevate our people. 1t might be well
to add that those people who look upon
the Negro as incapable of mental de-
velopment and unfit for moral improve
ments and responsible positions are
sadly mistaken and laboring under
some form of insanity. we can by no
means expect to go backward, SO it is
evident that some one must continue
to keep things moving. We notice,
however, that quite difference exists
among our people and other nationali-
ties; while we discern a opposition on
the part of other races to give the
younger generation a chance to DO
something, the older men of our race
are just to the reverse; they stand n
the way of others and will not do any
thing themselves

If you desire the paper to succeed, pay
what you owe. If your kind words and
wishes for success mean any thing, pay
the paper what you owe it. If you
desire more news and a larger paper,
pay what you owe. If you desire that

sent in six names of friends whom he
desired should read THE Iowa STATE

was the cash. We can give instance
after instance where our white friends
and fellow citizens have given us sub
stantial encouragement The business
men of Des Moines are patroniziug the
paper. Their accounts run from
81 to S25 per month each. All we have
asked and all we expect of the Negroes
OF Des Moines is $1.5O per year, but we
expect it in good hard cash and expect
it when due. The smaller GOWNS Of
the state are sending in names every
day and The subscription price along
with them. Can it be that Des Moines
people do not want paper? Can it
be true that they read less in the city
than in the country? Can it be true
that city peopleexpect a paper to run
without the money they owe it? Can
it be true that those who do not sub
scribe for this or any other Negro
pa per always borrow from a neighbor?
The business manager, Mr.. Joseph
81. Shepard, will make a tour of the
entire state OF Iowa this summer for
purpose ofsseeing how many want
state paper and securing business. By
his untiring efforts and sound business
methods he has placed the Iowa STATE
BYsTANDER on a solid foundation. He
intends to enlarge the paper, print
more general news of the state and the
nation and make paper that all can
be proud of and should support. Mr..
Shepard is we'll known in Iowa for his
integrity, honest and relia BILE business
judgment, and the position of the Iowa
STATE BYsTANDER to-day is largely due
to his untiiing efforts in its behalf.
