A BIG ASSET TO DIES MONIES.

The Negro population in Des MONIES
doubled during the last decade. Judg-
ing from the present influx the same
results will follow the next They are
coming from all parts but principally
from the south Their reasons are OBJ
vious. Previous to June, 1917, Des
Moines was little known outside of the
state but the coming of the training
camp at Fort Des Moines and the 366th
infantry which was practically made up
of Alabama boys, the depot brigade and
the pioneer infantry regiments to Camp
Dodge put Des Moines on the map.
These men gained knowledge of the
to know that their civil rights
were administered with far more jus
tee than at their old homes While in
the army many for the first time real
lied their value of these rights eonse-
auently since their discharge many
have returned.
The Negroes of Dies Moines welcome
them: this is especially true of the bus
i1ess men for after all the Negro must
depend upon his own race for patron
age. Heretofore business has been
Handicapped here for lack of popula-
tom but with these new corners
most any legitimate business with
proper capital and management should
sleeeed
Among the Negroes who leave the
seth are many who have accumulated
considerable wealth Too few of those
-e1zse came here On the other hand
they are erording into large cities of
The ezs. like Chicago and Detroit. This
Of course Is dne 10 the superior advant-
sges offered both for work in large in
dusfrsaI esnters and in business among
Negroes themselves.
Das MONIES can well accommodate a
large number of colored people. There
is work for all and wages are good. The
immigrants need to have these mat
ters brought to their attention.
The Negroes who live here owe these
newcomers all the help possible in find
ing employment, homes, etc, and
above all to see that they are started
right. The Bystander ventures to say
that more homes have been bought
within the last year than during any
previous ten years. This record should
be kept up. Many of the men have
never voted even though residents of
Iowa the required time, many don It
know they can vote. The political clubs
need to be on the job The business
league should be organized and last
but not least the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People
would do well to get into the game.
Americanism might well be handled by
this organization. These people must
