BUILDING A RACE.

Fifty years ago there was
scarcely single colored person in
the city of Des Moines, and not
one owned an inch of real estate.
In fact it was against the law
of the land for them to read, write
or even own property, for they
themselves were chattels, there.
fore in less than half a century
ago we came to Des Moines d
stranger, with no money, no edu-
cation, no experience, and settled
here to enter the great human
struggle in the battle for the
bread Of life. Among the shrcwd-
est and best business men Of the
Anglo Saxon and yet we have in
creased our posulation from moth
ing to 2,400 colored people in our
city. We have purchased real
estate until fully 400 families arc
owning their homes. There are
four colored men alone whose
property holdings are estimated
to be worth SS5,0OO. One man
last year paid over $500 taxes.
One, man who recently moved to
our city owns nearly 1000 acres
of valuable South Dakota land
in the natural gas belt.
There are hundreds and hun
dreds of our race slowly, but
surely toiling upward and onward,
even though their earnings may
be small, they are saving little
AS | said a half century ago we
had NO church or society here,
bnt now we have six church build
lngs, and all a credit to the city.
We have Sunday Schools, liter
airy, Christians Endeavor socities
Mems League and numerous secret
socities; also Women's Clubs and
business organization. We have
one organization of life insurance,
Que real estate company, one
blacksmith, two linotype COM
positors, one job printing office,
five type settlers, ten barber shops
owned by colored men. four res
taurants, one newspaper, four
colored lawyers, two colored doc.
tors, four gardeners, who sell
vegetables, two stenographers,
Que dentist, one contractor and
builder, four paper-hangers, two
painters, one pipe and tile maker,
four stationary engineers, one
civil engineer, one palmist teach
er, one employment agency, two
city patrolmen, two mail carriers,
three on the fire department, one
court bailiff, one electric carpet
busting company, four janitors at

Few men there are who have come
to our city and have made the record
as has Rev. II. w. Porter pastor of
the Union COngre satiOnal church. He
came here three years ago an entire
stranger. Now both white and COL
ored know, honor and respect him for
his WORTH his Christian manhood and
his high ideals. He was born in Mar
icttc, Ga. in 1873. After attending
the public schools he entered ITALIA
dega College, where he graduated:
then he went to Atlanta University
in Atlanta. Ga. studying theology.
Rev. Porter laid brick on that church
for many months. He was just sig
nally honored by being elected scribe
Of the State Congregational Associa
ton, which is in session in Grinnell
this week. He is a ripe scholar and
a great thinker and the world will yet
hear from him.
