RACE PROBLEM IN IOWA.
Des Moines Women Defer Request
for Negro Recognition.

Special to the Star.
Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 12.-The race
problem cropped up here today in
an unexpected and embarrassing man.
ems club knocked at the doors of the
ner when members of a colored wom-
Des Moines Federation Of Womens
Clubs and politely asked for recogni-
tion.
"This is so sudden" exclaimed
score of female voices in hearty uni
son. Mrs H. S. Graves, however,
wife of the pastor of st. Paul's Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church,
was there for the purpose of obtain
ing an answer, and evidently anxious
to place the women on record with
as little delay as possible, requested
that action be taken on her request
at once. i tlsll
The ladies finally rallied from their
confusion, and, assuring Mrs. Graves
Of their cordial sympathy with all
efforts of the colored people toward
bettering their condition, said that
under the rules of the organization
they had right to take time to con.
slider the matter. Before adjourn.
ment the first installment of the de-
bate had taken place.
Several women admitted them
sevles in favor of granting the color.
ed womens request. Others stoutly
declared that such action would mark
the severing Of their relations with
Des Moines women's clubs. When
..4e meeting concluded several women
were in tears, others were pale with
anger, while still others admitted
that the federation was facing most
embarrassing problem.
The above statement is not true
only in part. The colored club did
ask admission and was not refused.
Only two women objected. They were
recently from the south and had only
been members short time and they
thought it best not to admit colored
clubs. (The Editor.)
The Bystander brings me another
surprise this week in the announce
ment of the death of our old friend

REDUCING THE REPRESENTA-
TlvEs IN CONGRESS.

Since the meeting Of congress bill
recently introduced in house to cut
down representation to actual amount
of voters that Is permitted to vote the
colored Journals have been discuss
ing it pro and con below we publish
what two of our contempories say
then we give our idea about 1t. The
Atlanta, Ca, Independent is opposed
to reduction in the south as a punish
ment for ACKNOWLEDGMENT, his strong
points are to aborgate the white
mans rights will not restore that of
the colored man. That to cut down
Alabama's electoral vote will not
help the people wronged, two wrongs
will not make one right. that the
North would assist them to disfran-
chise and the south would not care
to loose a few Congressman If they
| could keep the negro out of politics
and the Buxton Gazette says this
| week says, speaking of the same
bill: "Of course no one expects the
| bill to pass. It should not. We have
waited patiently to have someone
explain how it is going to help the
Negro"
| We have been, and are strong
advocate of reduction of the elector-
| ial college and Congressman where
they do not allow the qualified
elector the right to vote and we are
indeed sorry that our race leaders
are not unit on this question. I
believe today that our division Of
opinion on this question is the lack
Of Congressional action. My reasons
for favoring it is because reduction.
is the punishment laid down by the
plainly that when ever a state de-
prives any Of it's male citizens 81
years of age the right to vote the
representation of that state shall be
reduced in proportion to the number
of citizens thus deprived of their
legal rights. This alone ought to
suffice. All we ask Is the fulfillment
of our present law and It's punish-
ment, then If it fails we will try
something else. Then again to reduce
the representation does not lessen
!. our rights as a voter. It is simply
In allegiance until certain conditions
are done. Let US not condemn this
