Let us recognize the work Of tho
charitable clubs, and pay less attsn-
tion to these overnight reformsrs,
who have recently transferred their
financial activities from thieving in
the underworld, TO misappropriating
the prnceeds Of suppers, church COL
lections and other revenues intended
for charity; who parade among the
needy in their purple and fine linen.
and thrive for . while on their ILL.,
gotten gains. These gay dsceivers
would not dare don the simple garb
Of the humble mission worker, or
Sister Of Charity. Mary Magdaleue
is worthy example Of refnrm, be-
cause she obeyed the injunction, "Go
in peace! and SIN no more" But we
accept spasmodic and unreliable re-
formers, and place them on . pin
nacle Of prominence in our churches
as emblems Of purity (?) when there
has been no actual reform. Once
recognized they represent them
selves as leaders, (and drive away
some nf the older members) when
they should be humble followers un-
til they have stood tie proper test.
In spite Of this, those who are do
ing good will reap their reward and
the hustlers will also reap what they
have sown.-Twin City Star, Mime

Iowa State Bystander: ! notice in
your last weeks issue that Attorney
Rush is making the race for one Of
the judges Of your city and I see the
editor Of The Bystander speaks Of
him as q qualified jurist. That's
enough for me. But Mr.. Editor he
has q fine chance for election It our
people Of Des Moines lay down 9
little race prejudice and elect him by
giving him their entire support az q
race He must look for breakers, Tor
you know that II he's a Methodist ne;
must expect some stones from the
| Baptists, and if he is Baptist ne
must expect it to come from the
other way, and if he is something
else, look out for fur to fly, unless
the churches lay down their preju-
dices and the leaders come out puD-
licly for him and show up his good
qualities. The other fellow will hunt
for the bad. The Negro vote Of Des
Moines can elect or defeat either one
Of the other fellows by sticking to-
gether BY letting Rush be first. They
hold the balance Of power. But the
things that concern me most are viii
their leaders come up to the stand-
ard. Every minister, doctor, lawyer,
Mason, knight Of Tabor, United
Brothers and X. P. must show the
spirit 81 Damion and Pythias. En-
list the better class Of good women,
for the counsel Of good women =
worth something in this race. For
you know, Mr.. Editor, that defeat
denotes weakness, and I expect st't to
see through the columns OF your pa
per the nomination Of Rush.
