RACE PRIDE.

Do you subscribe and pay for
some race paper? # not, why not?
Have yo not enough race pride to
spend s1.5o per year to help some
race enterprise? Those race men
who condemn enterprises that would
be Of greart benefit to the race, be-
cause they are not associated with
them, are doing the race great in
Justice, if these same men would go
into the homes of the Germans,
Sweeds, Jews or any other national
ity in their neighborhood they would
almost invariably find one or. more
race papers in each home. Has the
colored man less pride for his race
than men of other races have? Have
you collection Of books, poems
and music of authors who are mem
bers of your race? Have you in
.couraged business Enterprise among
your people? Do you spend as
much money for literature of your
own race as you do for the literature
of the white race? Do you try to
get your neighbors to patronize yorr
race enterprises? If not, Why not?

FOR TREASURER.

We take this opportunity to pre-
sent to our readers Of Mahaska
county the nome Of VIM. Mattison,
an old and highly respected citizen
of Oskaloosa, who is candidate for
the nomination Of County Treasurer
in Mahaska county. Mr.. Mattison
was born in England in 1885; came
to Ohio when only 9 years old, and
to Iowa in 1854, and to Oskaloosa
in 1865 where he has been resident
ever since. He has been in the
grocery business for1 years, until
failing health compelled him to quit
the business. After regaining his
health he engaged in the grain and
lumber business in New Sharon. For
six years, he held the office of City
Councilman of Oskaloosa, and for
six years member of the Township
Trustee and two terms as member
of the County Board. He is now
engaged in the harness making bust
ness with his son. He is good
business man, honest, careful and
conservative and by his experience
with the public affairs of Mahaska
county will make good treasurer.
He is staunch republican worker,
a public spirited man and should
receive due consideration BY the
republican voters.
