Agents.
TO MAKE IOWA CLEAN
State Agents Making Round
of Celebrations and Fairs
in Iowa.

Justice G. +. Tucker Saturday after.
noon held two men to the grand jury
and continued until Sept. 2 the preli.
minary hearings of six men. All eight
were charged with gambling and were
arrested in this city at the Homecoming
celebration by state agents, H. w. Ter.
rill and p. D. Van Wagner.
State agents are making systematic
campaign over Iowa to stop the many
petty gambling devices always found at
fairs, celebrations, etc.
Make Sweep Of State.
The series Of summer and fall cele
brations began ut Webster City Friday
and the plan of the state agents was
to clean up here in order to put a
stop to gambling at the fairs and cele.
bratiOns to follow later at various
places over the state. The gamblers
picked up here were operating small
devices such us are found ut nearly
every celebration or fair and the men
who were arrested, all of whom were
from Des MOines, complained bitterly
because similar devices are being
operated every day at Riverview park
in Des MOines. State agents were OBJ
hurate, however, and stopped every con.
cession in which game of chance was
involved-which was just exactly what
the city officials and the committees
had asked them to do.
Men Held.
The men who were held to the grand
jury were George Garner and c. A.
Chamberlain. Their bonds were fixed
at 500 each, which they put up.
The men whose hearings were post.
poned until Sept. 2 were NJ. G. Short
| l. F. Bandholtz, c. II. Sorenson, Sam
Fenburg, +. G. ROsche and Herman
Miller. These also gave bonds in the
sum of 500 each.
State agents expect to visit every
celebration and every fair held in Iowa
this summer and fall and put an end
to petty gambling. The larger gambl
ing devices have been out of business
in Iowa for years, but petty gamblers
with 10 and % cent machines Of vari.
Gus kinds have thrived. Now, however
they are at the end Of their rope.

It is impossible for patriotic Amcri-
cans to view the proceedings at Paris
with their daily disclosure Of embar-
easements, complications and growing
roscntmcnts. without heartily wish
ing that the policy Of steering clear
of foreign entanglcments had been
rightly followed by the executive in
the conduct OF the war and the peace
adjustments. Nothing but resentment
has been gained for Americans by
the Plume controversy, and nothing
but resentment and deep distrust can
be expected to flow from the Chinese
controversy. The confidence in and
friendship for America, which had
been built UP in China by many years
of fair dealing and sympathetic di-
plomacy, now bid fair to disappear
i'll Il single day. The Chinese people
now discover that they need not OK
pect America to bcfriond them. The
secret bargains OF great powers are
stronger, apparently, than any prin-
ciples which declare for a league OF
nations which will respect the terri
torial integrity Of nations great and
small. Great nations, apparently, are
safe; but small or weak nations, those
which cannot make war or break up
leagues must not expect to have their
territory respected.
George Washington Is dead, but his
uttorances Of more than ono hundred

He continues:

Sensing this some months ago, the
National Association for the Advance
ment Of Colorcd People commissions
ed DR.. Du Bots to prepare a history
and appropriated $4,000 toward the
expense. DR.. Du Bots Immediately
sought to associate with him not
as subordinates, but on terms of full
equality a board OF three Or four
editors and II largo consulting board Of
colorcd men. 1t Immediately develop
ed that cooperation was impossible.
y white man, Mr.. Il. p Stock
bridge, Of New York, had already
planned and was preparing /. popular
history and had secured the coopera
ton Of MIR. Emmett Scott ar others.
Neither he nor Mr.. Scott wished to
change their plans and neither would
accept cooperation, except upon terms
which We deemed impossible. Mr..
G. G. Woodson, Editor of Tho Journ
III Of Negro History, refused to CO.
operate except as Editor-in-Chic
1t is needless to ask if the above is
true. DR.. Du Bots is an authority.
But he states that Hon. Emmett J.
Scott did not wish to change his
plans. This assertion would seem to
mean that with such an astute and
accurate compiler of facts at his ell
bow so to speak, Mr.. Scott turned
away from him. IF this is true and it
is true for the reason that DR.. Du Bots
says that it is true, what was tho
cause OF such action? Why was It
that DR.. Du Bots declined to cooper
ate with Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Scott dc
clincd to cooperate with Dr.. Du Bots?
Will the colorcd people in this coun-
try never cooperate with each other?
Will they forever show to the world
that they are unable to act as a unit?
1t would seem so.
DR.. Du Bots is Disguised. His lang
mage shows that for he says:
Unity being thus plainly impossi-
bic. DR.. Du Bots disposed to drop
the project as far as he was person
ally concerned and leave the work to
others.
The Executive Officers Of the N.
y. A. G. p, however, thought it best
for Dr.. Du Bots to proceed to France
and look over the field especially
with regard to Pan-African Con-
grcss and tho facts obtainable there
concerning Negro troops.
And again:
The result of this trip is that we
are convinced:
!. That the truth concerning Ne
groes in this war must be told i'm
partially and entirely.
No conscientious person will deny
this. But he says further:
3. That no person in official posi-
ton dare tell the whole truth.
This is the truth, tho whole truth
and nothing but tho truth. But 1t
applies with siedge-hammcr effect to
the aspirations OF tho distinguished

having destroyed the prospect Of a

OF that mastery historian, DR.. w. E.

is:
Most American Negroes do not

status Of our Negro troops. Already
subtle influences are preparing II fatal
attack. 1t is repeated openly among
influential persons: "The black labor

DIR. GRAHAM'S POSITION

And now. brethren, this is no time
to think OF Swapping horses in tho
middle OF the stream" A few weeks
ago my sentiment was expressed in
toto by the DR.. w. T.. Graham in The
I, Planet. BE it remembered that our
fathers In the Lord. fought, bled and
some Of them died in this progressive
Baptist arena, for things which arc
truly worth while and in this strug-
gle they proved themselves beyond
the pcradvcnturc of n doubt, victors.
Thus they set up for the dcnom-
nation standard and VouchSafcd
unto us a heritage which wo are
honor bound to keep untouched and
untarnishcd until we meet those fall
Ell heroes, with those who yet sur
Vlve, upon the plains of eternal day.
The men OF the Virginia Baptist
State Convention, wherever found arc
men OF ideas and ideals, which are
nowise foreign to those that have
characterized manly men in all his
tory.
We will not swerve nor recede a1f
iota from the principles of self de-
termination. self help and racial de-
vclopment for which we fought in
the battle Of Lexington. And now
If the brethren Of the General Asso-
citation or any other association desire
our company as convention, thew
are Intelligent and know how to do
1t.
THE CONSTITUTION THE GUIDE
Our constitution provides that any
church that believes what we believe
and will declare its belief may be-
come part Of our convention. Now
what more is necessary? But breth-
rem, let us realize that wo are respon-
sible to God for the educational plant
that We havo planted on Seminary
Hill and we must maintain it at any
reasonable cost. We arc not to try
to force our burden upon tho
shoulders Of others.
Let us stand up and bear orr
burdens like mon and all men OF
kindred clements will take sides with
us and with things equal, they will
join us. But let us go on to Peters

here to argue tho case.
