 Do not make any mistake. Germany is unchanged.

God is not a man sitting in a big
throne chair with a lot of crowns on
one side and a bunch of clubs on the
other. For it says, "God is a spirit
and they that worship him must wor-
ship Him in spirit and in truth"
You know that the doing of good
deeds and the thinking of good
thoughts make your soul greater. For
we can only appreciate the goodness
of God by having big calibered
soul.
You know that the world is getting
better. For there was never a time
when people were trying So earnestly
trying to help each other and learn
the will of the Master.
You know that it is less matter of
words thaa Of deeds. Talk is a fine
bluff, but sooner or later people ex-
pect you to square your conversation
with your works. For the people who
smile all the time do not mean it.
You know that the wicked can pros
per, if money is sign of prosperity,
and this bunk and twaddle about they
shall surely fail is ancient stuff. For
the only prosperity is that of the soul
and freedom from fear of being ex-
posed.
You know that so-called repentance
is fear of being punished, in most in
stances, or of being caught in nearly
all cases. For a fellow who has a
high sence of honor has his sorrow
before he does questionable things. It
is lot easier to not do things than
to try to explain and square up after
wards. Most Of them do not cry until
they are caught.
You know that most of US make
our own temptations by thinking of
things We would do if we had a
chance. For most deeds are done in
the heart before they are acted. A
real honest man or woman has few
temptations; their instructive honesty
protects them.
You know that the fellow who
builds a fence closes out more than
he closes in, and when we try to get
exclusive you exclude more than you
include with your selfishness.

Senator Joe Allen is entitled to the
vote of the colored man. His ances-
try was Quaker, his grandfather be-
ing one of the underground railroad
men who helped many poor colored
fugitive from the south. J. H. Allen
never turned deaf ear to the Negro.

Mr.. Jones started found in Mr.. Allen

ing foundation member and holding
a foundation certificate. ever in the
history of Iowa politics has the col
ored man had a chance to vote for a
man who has done more for the race
as opportunity offered than has J. H.
Allen. His friends are taking very
strong stand in this matter because
it is time they recognized their
friends and helped them politically.
1t is time that the people gave more
attention to these things, and in the
candidacy of Joe Allen Iowa has a
chance to do something worth while.

The colored voters of Polk county
were never more united in the sup
port Of any candidate for public Office
than they are in supporting George
E. Brammer for county attorney.
George Brammer is known to be fair

strated his absolute fairness in the
last session of the owa legislature, Of
which he was member from this
county. He gsAp courteous treatment
and c6hsidera ID II every person
having public business to transact
with him, and he may be expected to
do the same thing in any office in
which the voters may place him.
Mr.. Brammer introduced and cham
pioned what was known as the zap
preparation bill" for the colored peo-
pie and in many other ways showed
that he is unbiased and safe man
to occupy public Office.
George Brammer is we'll qualified
for the position he seeks and seems
to be receiving as strong support
among all classes as he is among the
colored people. Indications are that
he will be "winner" by a good ma
jority. He will make a good county
