Getting Your Money BACK

is hard at some stores when the goods are
unsatisfactory. The dealer will tell you
he had to take chances just like you. We
don't believe in this way Of dealing. If
one of our customers is dissatisfied, no
matter whether it's our fault or not, his
money comes back to him if he asks for
it, and we want him to ask for it every
time he's dissatisfied. satisfaction Is a
good part of stock in trade, and we're
bound to keep it on hand no matter what
the cost.

PLEADS FOR A UNITED NATION.
But when all this is said, | repeat, gen.
tlemen of the club, that you of this genera
ton owe to the South, not less than to
yourselves, an uniultilled duty. Surely,
surely, if the Negro, with all that is behind
him, can forget the past, you ought to
rise above him in this regard. When the
South is poor you are poor; when the
South is ignorant you are ignorant; when
the South commits crime you commit
crime; when the South prospers you pros
per. There is no power that can separate
our destiny. Let us ascend in this matter
above color, or race, or party, or section
alism into the region of duty of man to
man. American to American. Christian
to Christian. Ifthe Negro, who has been
oppressed, ostracised, denied rights in a
Christian land, can help you North and
South to rise, can be the medium of your
rising to the sublime heights of unseliish-
ness and self-forgetfulness, who may say
that the Negro, this new citizen, will not
see in it recompense for all that he has
suffered and will have performed mis-
sion that will be placed beside that OF the
lowly Nazarene. (Prolonged applause. }
Let the Negro, the North and the South
| do their duty with 9 new spirit and new
| determination during this, the dawning OF
a new century, and at the end OF fifty years
picture will be painted What is itp A
race dragged from its native land in chains,
800 years of slavery, years of fratricidal
war. thousands of lives laid down, freedom

South staggers under the burden. The

case where two races but yesterday master
and slave. today citizen and citizen, have
made such marvellous progress in the ad-
iustment OF themselves to new conditions,
where each has travelled SO fast into the
divine science of forgetting and forgiving,
and yet do not understand me that all is
done, or that there are not serious wrongs
yet to be botted out.
In making these observations | do not,
can not, forget, as a humble representative
of my race, the vacant seat, the empty
sleeve, the lives offered up on southern
battleteds that we might have united
country and that our flag should shelter
none but free men; nor do | forget the
millions of money that have gone into the
South from the hands of philanthropic
individuals and religious organizations.

Nor are we ofthe black race leaving the

STOP AND THINK.

If you have heard any OF the
many newspapers saying anything
about sending a Negro as delegate
to the national convention it is
almost as silent as grave yard.
Why not be fair9 Why not be
honest and truthful and say that
the Negroes OF Iowa are entitled
to representation? You know
that we should have a delegate
and we know it. You have named
men for each place from the four
delegates-at-large to the two in
each and every district. They are
queer, indeed, that they never
think to suggest the name OF an
Afro-American. The Negroes
get only what they fight for, so
let us unite on one good man and
then let us send men to the state
convention that will work and
vote for the choice of our people.
Remember that the state con
yention is on the 18th of March
and what you do to secure dele
gate Of your own race must be
done with quickness and discre-
ton.
We would like to hear from
Muchakinock, Oskaloosa, Keo-
kuk, Colon, Pekay, Sioux City,
Newton, Burlington, Iowa City,
Charlton, and any other city OF
town that have the interest of their
race at heart. Let replies be
short and to the point.
Let every voter attend caucuses

and help select men that favor

We take pleasure in announcing
the name of r. f. G. Morgan, one
of the oldest merchant tailors in
the city. He is a candidate for
alderman Of the Fourth ward sub
iect to the decision OF the various
precincts of the Fourth ward, and
is worthy the cooperation OF those
who believe in honest municipal
government. He believe the city
should receive revenue from
every franchise granted by it, and
that tax payers should enjoy all
privileges to which they are justly
entitled. If elected the interests
ofthe voters of the Fourth ward
will be well looked after, as Mr..
Morgan is an able, conservative
and far-seeing man.

John Farley rushes into print
to tell the "dear people" what he
has done. We have heard of men
who have carried water on both
shoulders but John is trying to
do the act on three or four. He
said he had made speeches before
the Afro-American clubs and gave
them .shis best" It is we'll known
that Johns information must be
gained by absorption, and the
quality of such information and
advice is doubtful. John is hold
ing an appointment as a demo
crat and what business he has in
republican councils is not plain.
John claims to be a great leader.
