Editors Observations.
Buxton, Iowa.

On my wheel with quill in hand, we
will again jot down few observations
from Monroe county, Iowa, including
the town of Abba, Buxton and Hite-
man. We had planned to give our
readers an illustrated edition of Bux-
ton; similar to one gotten out three years
ago, but have deferred it until next
wear; hence we shall be satisfied with
q synoptical mention of the far famed
Buxton, which hus been truly styled
the Negro Athens of the Northwest.
While there has been several attempts
to write up the Town" by other edi-
tors in this limited space, can but
briefly mention few of the int
resting things that show signs OF
proyress of the race under the best op-
portunity and environments as but few
other Negro communities have First

things that you hear about Buxton
by what some newspapers report; but

are colored. Here we see the whole
town managed by colored people; here
is the O 1ly town in Iowa that we saw
automobiles running too and froe owned
and operated by colored men Here we
see rubber tired buggies dawn by fine

of Afro-American youth in the
South are crowded with students.
Republican prosperity has enabled
parents to send their children off to
school,
work may obtain it by voting the
Democratic ticket.
The election of Democratic
house would mean the passage of the
Heflin jim-crow street car bill,
1t costs a million lives and bill

the curse Of slavery. The Democrats
party hopes to take away the manhood
rights Of the Afro.American and 70.

President Taft favors industrial
and higher education for the Afro
American, the enforcement OF the
war amendments and equal prOtec-
,tion for every citizen. q Vote the. Re-

ministration.
Fall in and forward to victory.
Get out the votes and there'll be
no doubt about the election Of Re-

Wake up! Come out! Shout and
hurrah for the Republican ticket.
Let us see what big majority we
can give for the Republican nomi-
nees for congress.
there are more than $4,000 Afro
Americans in the public service Of
the country and they receive over
$8,0O0,0O0 in salaries
The Afro-American people know
too well what Democratic success
means to be beguiled by the smooth
talk of Democratic spellbinders.
The Afro-American will never
turn from the Republican party and
go over to the Democrats who are
disfranchising and Jim Growing the
people Of their race In the South
The election of Democratic house
can bring no possible good to the
Afro-American. Better Let we'll
enough alone and continue the Re-
publicans In power.
In no school for Afro-Amerlcan
pupils in New Orleans is instruc-
ton given In any grade higher than
the fifth. The Dem ocrats seem de-
termined to keep the race down.
The Democratic South has already
| disfranchised the Afro-American.
Now many prominent Democrats In
the North as we'll as In the South
favor the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment. .-.. .......s
A vote for the Democrats is q
vote for an empty market basket.
