THAT FLORIDA WINTER
PLAYGROUND NO DREAM

You can always find some cheer
full, truthful and timely reading
about this State in the Florida
Grower. It's no dream to talk
about Florida as the winter play
ground Of America. Our climate,
uneQualed on this continent, makes
the proposition entirely PRACTICABLE,
and what is chiefly needed on our
part is to furnish the good roads for
touring purposes. Given these and

country west Of the Mississippi will

ing the former the Florida Grower
has this to say:
NEARLY every county Is waking
up. We will some day in the COM

wide system of good roads and when
that time comes the people with
money to spend will make this their

Editor Of the Bystander:

Editor of the Bystander:
Dear Sir: Kindly permit me to say
through the columns Of your paper to
those who are rejoicing over the fact
that the crow bill has been defeated
and hoping that the Miller bill will
remain defeated, that Attorneys
Woodson and Brown are the same
men that caused the defeat of the
Harding bill four years ago, the pass
age of which would have ended the
existence Of Negro lodges in Iowa.
The letters Of thanks and congratula-
tions are only small tokens of our
appreciation. Let US go a step furth-
er. 1 am willing to pay the men who
will do for me what I cannot do for
myself. Are you with me? I think
there are enough Negroes in Iowa to
pay Attorneys .Woodson and Brown,
without great sacrifice on the part
Of any one. It is true they armed
themselves with the law and entered
the fight without request, or even
promise of pay. just SO ought we
pay them. 1t can be done by each
one contributing a few cents. Il the
fifteen thousand Negroes in Iowa will
do their duty We must not expect
such service done free Of charge, and
the fact that these gentlemen did it
IS evidence Of their true love and high
regard for their race and the state OF
Iowa. They are our watchmer on the
wall; they have warned us Of 'ap--
preaching danger; they are courage
