THE WEEDS ARE HAPPY

The summer rains have started in
and besides cooling the atmosphere,
they are most welcome to the weeds
growing in the principal streets Of
the town. Indeed, the poor weeds
were in very sad condition lately
on account of the dry spell which
lasted all through the month of
June, and those that are especially
grown for the benefit of mosquitoes
that carry the typhoid and other
fever germs were in very bad way
and near to death.
But, thanks to Jupiter PluVius,
they are now rearing their heads
proudly and spreading their limbs
as they drink in the life-giving tor
rents from the heavens, and life for
them becomes once more assured so
that they can shelter the death
dealing mosquito that is born in the
cesspools of the town.

TREES OBSTRUCT VIEW

The new county court house is
rapidly nearing completion and
when the contractors turn it over
to the county, they will have accom-.
plished one of the handsomest pub
lie buildings in the State, one that
will be source of pride to the pro-
gressive people of Graham county.
The building is substantially built
and as near fire-proof as is possible.
All the material has been fully up
to specifications and the contractors,
Lutgerding and Eagan, have taken
special pride in seeing that the work
of construction has been of the
highest order, even to the smallest
details in the very excellent plans
furnished by the architects, Lescher
and Kibbey.
AS the building now appears at
the head of Tenth street, its fine
lines and architectural beauty is
partly obscured by the large cotton
wood trees growing in the street or
on the sidewalks of the two blocks

The work of constructing the cement

Minority Leader Mann'S panegyric

FOREST BUSINESS PICKS UP

The district forester at Albu-
querqe, N. NJ, has announced that
the government receipts from tim
ber operations, grazing permits and
other industries in the national for
ests of Arizona and New Mexico,
total $437, 900 for the year just end
ed, as compared with 100000 for
the previous year. 1t has long
been apparent" says District For,
ester Redington, that forest re
ceipts are an accurate index to busi-
ness prosperity, and these encour-
aging figures for the year just ended
speak for themselves. "
Local forest service men point out
that not only have stockmen con
tinued to receive excellent prices
for beef, mutton and wool, with a
corresponding heavy demand for
forest range, but the timber busi.
ness of the Southwest has expert
enced marked revival, with cor
responding demand for forest stump
age. New timber sales of cOnsid-
cradle size have just been negotiated
on the Alamo and COConinO forests
and not less than five new mills have
made sale contracts on the Santa Fe
forest within the last few months.
Existing sales have also largely in
creased their output in response to
the thrifty condition Of the trade.

JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT.

This year the candidates for justice
of the supreme court of Iowa are on
the non-partisan judicial ticket, and
there will be two to elect and there
will be three mans on that ballot. So
you can only vot for two of them.
We are personally acquainted with
Judge w. H. Evans, who is at present
chief justice of Iowa, and is candidate
for reelection. Judge Evans made a
splendid judge while on the bench and
is a credit to our state and judiciary.
It might be of interest to the colored
people to know that Judge Evans was
the only dissenting judge in the fam
GUS Brown VS.. Bell case, that was car
ried from Polk county to the supreme
court. He was in favor of sustaining
S. ]. Browns position in the civil
right suit. His opinion is found in
160th Iowa report and should be read
by every colored person. The other
judge that we know is Hon. H. E..
Deemer, who has been a member of
the supreme court for many years.

OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES.

Upon the regular republican ticket
in Polk county will be found the name
Of Hon. c. C. Dowell, congressman
from the Seventh district, candidate
for reelection for his second term.
He is a splendid good man and merits
your support. For the legislature is
the name of James B. Weaver, who is
an able attorney at law, and the son
Of Gen. Weaver, all of them being a
friend to colored people. His running
mate is Otto Starzinger of East Des
Moines and deserving republican. For
clerk is A. E. Mahan, who is candi-
date for reelection. He has colored
man as deputy in his Office, Mr.. H.
Hughes. Sheriff John Griffin, present
sheriff, has colored man as one of
the bailiffs. Mr.. Griffin has never
drawn the color line in his depart
ment and it will be but fair to re-
elect him. Chas. Guth is on the tick
er for recorder. He is an active re-
publican worker. w. M. Hammill,
first deputy treasurer, is candidate
for treasurer. He has one cOlOred
deputy in his Office, and we feel as
sured that he will retain colored man
if elected next week. For auditor is
F. J. Alder, who is candidate for his
second term. He is big hearted re-
publican. For county attorney is
Ward Henry, progressive, bright
young man. For coroner is Claude
Rooms, candidate for second term. For
supervisor of First district of West
Des Moines is Chas. Saverude. He is
a splendid good man and will merit
your support. For supervisor of the
Second district Of East Des Moines is
John Stewart. He is good man. For
of the Fourth district is
Frank Thornton.

OUR LAST CALL.

My dear voters, before another issue
Of The Bystander is printed you will
be called upon to exercise the right
of your franchise at the polls on next
Tuesday, November 7th. My last ap-
peal to you, Mr.. Voter, is to vote the
republican ticket, thereby returning
the republican party back into the Of
fees again, for it was that party that
has made our country grow and pros
per. 1t was that party that gave to
us that immortal Abraham Lincoln,
that silent U. S. Grant, that scholar,
James A. Garfield; that great states
man, VIM. Mckinley; that foremost
Of all Americans, Theodore Roosevelt,
and a host of other great and wise
statesmen. This, my last appeal to
you, at least to those Of you who can
vote to vote against wisconsin, jim
crowism, segregationism, coloc preju-
dice, rebel hating and sectionalism,
vote against lynching and burning
and against disfranchisement. Vote
against all of the things by voting
the republican ticket. This is our last
call. Will your answer be that the
republican party is elected in both
branches of congress.

SIHE SHIP

.-.rof the colored voters in the
u. s., to all honest voters regardless
sof color or creed: ,E'ne time in the life
Of our republic has come. That in or
der to preserve our country's good
name, it's honor and its integrity and
Its finances, it is absolutely necessary
ITO vote for the return of the republic
can party to the helm Of the old ship.
The democratic party has been tried
and found incompetent to manage this
great government of ours successfully.
She has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. The present pres
ident is far below his party leaders as
a statesman or ruler, his narrow
ness, his prejudice against the colored
race, his biased sectional interest, his
early rebel training :las never left
him. It would be dire calamity to
re-elect Wilson for our country, our
race and the American citizen. There
fore as the republican party is the
safe old ship and all else is the sea,
let us all in the name Of God and hu-
mainly return the grand old republi-
can party back into power by voting
the republican ticket.
