People who come here and have
false ideas of our boosted liberty feel
that we have not lived up to our oppor-
tunitics.. We surrender certain privi-
leges and advantages every time we
move from one section Of the country
to the other. 1t is the case of the
devil and the deep blue sea, or the fry
ing pan and the fire.
Mrs. Tolbett says that the women
must reach one hand down to the fall
en- sister. If they must pick up the
fallen, how much more important is it
that they keep them from falling. But
it is not to the women alone that this
message ought go; it is to all Of us.
We cannot exclude our brothers. They
are brothers and sisters, good or bad,
high or low, intellectual or ignorant,
the great practice of prejudice has at
tended to that matter nicely. "Sow-
ing seeds of kindness" will bring forth
no better crop than when it falls on
fertile soil, which every stranger is.
The men Of the community cannot
get place for boys and men and the
women are to be commended for start

Boys need attention, in fact all peo-
pie need guides and friends, but if
there is one class of people who need
care, protection, advice, guidance and
every safeguard it is the Negro girl.
Men ought to be willing to suffer any
prescription or hardship if they
thought that the girls and women
would be treated well. The average
girl is not only in lonely situation,
blu tshe is at disadvantage when she
goes to new town. The Negro girl
is as bad off as any girl and worse on
account of color. No one needs be a
Sherlock Holmes to discover these
facts.
Now one of the great things the COL
ored women of this state are trying to
do is to establish home for the Ne
gro girls in Des Moines. If the feder-
ated clubs did nothing more than keep
up a place where girls could come and
feel sheltered the efforts would justify
all the expense and trouble they have
gone to in the year spast. The girls
of the other race have Y. w. c. A.,
St. Monica's Home, the Deaconess
Home, the Salvation Army Home, po-
licewomen and folks to meet them at

of finding welcome and courtesy at

The Y. boys were overjoyed last
week to greet couple of her old
standbys in the persons of Bonnie

have been attending the Tuskegee in

They expect to be with us until next

the lesson was "A God-forgetting
People," Isaiah 28:1-13.
We note that the spring season is
bringing many strangers to US from
many different points. Several days
ago we had the pleasure of shaking
hands with several fellows from away
down in the coal fields Of Birmingham,
Alabama. 1t was real interesting to
hear them tell the true story Of how
the colored people are flocking away
from that part of the country. We
want to remind those coming into our
town from time to time that our Y. M.
C. A. door stands ajar to gladly well
come and receive all strangers and
newcomers, Remember that there is
no better way to establish good I'M
preston in entering community
than to first connect yourself with the
church and Y.
We are anticipating on this coming
Sunday being big day at the Y, ow-
ing to the fact that we have Bennie
Wellington and Ulysses Price, the
Tuskegee students, slated for a talk
on their two years experience at the
Booker T. Washington school. We
earnestly urge upon each and every
citizen to come out and hear these in
teresting reports from our own home

There are more and more girls COM

lures people, they like the excitement
and the opportunity which city life
offers. The Negroes resented the adj
Vice of Booker Washington to stay in
the country. Since he gave out that
advice to US all the papers in the coun-
try have been urging whites to do the
same. We resent with great bombast
such practical advice. On the other
hand, we are lily prepared to take
care of venturesome boys and girls
when they land. To talk about equal
rights and safeguards is the sheerest
nonsense.

The campaign against Dr. von Bethmann-H the German im- perial chancellor, is again in full swing. The Conservatives, although insisting, as usual. that the other parties observe political truce in the interests of the Fatnerland, have adopted and published a set of resolu- tions sharply attacking the chancellor and censuring the government for weakness and vacillation on the peace question and in dealing with the strike agitation.
 The resolutions express grave grief and concerns at the steadily growing influence of the Socialists, whose peace making efforts are declared, to be leading Germany to the brink of ruin.
