In mart the statement says: Ihe
l.urninp at the stake Of Negro taken
from the Person county Jail IN North
Carolina, last Wednesday, had for It's
rretext what used to be described as
the usual crime. In some cases TINS
designation has lost it's meaning OF late
wears, when it seems almost any offense
serves as sufficient provocatlon TOT 1aou
violence. The man who was burned az
the stake by the North Carolina MOP
was charged with having attacked If
year-old white girl. The mob had hard-
" completed its work when it appears,
that his employer furnished an albi.
UIf the man charged with this crime
lad been white he might have expected
far different treatment. He would nave
had chance to prove his innocence and
his absence from the scene OF the crime.
If found guilty, he would have been
punished by due process of the law. But
he was black. This seemed to be SUI
ficient reason for the North Carolina
mob. not merely for lynching, bur
lvnching him in an especially cruel and
barbarous manner
ttThat the country is awakening 20
the disgrace of these RUTHLESS lynchlngs
is indicated by the fact that for the
first time national political party, IN
it's platform has denounced them. The
l.iatform by the republican national
convention at Chicago says:
"sWe urge congress to consider the
most effective means to end lynching IN
this country, which continues to be
terrible blot on our American citizen
ship. These are not empty words, for
on the twenty second Of last May, the
house judiciary committee reported out
an anti-lynching bill and had it placed
on the calendar for early consideration.
It should be among the first measures
taken up when congress re-assembles In
December.

nEGRo BUSINESS MEN
MUST WAKE UP

There are ten thousand Negroes scat
tered throughout Des Moines; on the
other hand the business establishments
owned and operated by Negroes compare
only with other cities where half that
number reside on somewhere possibly
FIVE hundred white people live.
Des Moines is fair example of the
cities of the northwest. The Bystand-
er has noted this condition of affairs and
takes this occasion to recommend such
measures as it thinks will greatly rem
edy the situation.
"A Negro business league should be
organized or revived by BUSINESS
MEN whose duties will be similar TO
the chamber Of commerce but Of neces.
sity of smaller proportion. Among 9TH
er duties this organization should com.
mence campaign for the purpose OF
teaching Negroes to (D patronize Negro
enterprises (2) to promote Negro enter
nrices {31 to quit knocking Negro en-
terprises az to quit soliciting business
for white enterprises when there are col
ored people who can do that same work.
Well do we know that there are many
worthy white firms that not only vel
come us to their doors and who sell mer-
chandise that our enterprises do not
handle: but there is little excuse for the
failure to give whole hearted substan-
tial support to the grocery and drug
stores. tailor shops, dentists, lawyers
and doctors. BARRIERS have no kick for
lack of patronage in these lines. The
reason is obvious. Must Negro business
and professional men wait until com
plete Jim Crowism prevails in this city
before the proper support comesf We
r.ust not have the latter.

One day last week appeared glaring
Headline in one of cur leading dailies
which read as follows: Gagged Dy
Burly-Negro; Robber.' No person who
read this article could help but recall
that this same propaganda had caused
trouble in other cities. The Bystander
realizes that the matter was informa-
ton for the pubIie-the object of news
papers; but propaganda in this form Is
,ntirely unealled for. Both editors of
Cur leading dailies have repeatedly de-
clared that they were not responsible
for what went into the news columns
of their napers, but the Bystander ven
lures to saw that there is proviso at
taehed to this responsibility; that the
fellow who is hurt will not or cannot
retaliate effectnally.

MISS HALLE Q. BROWN
FOR HARDING

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Recently hundreds
Of southern newspapers and as many
democratic publications in the north
carried an interview purporting to come
from Miss Halle @. Brown, president of
the National Association of Colored Wo
men, professor at Wilberforce univer-
si.y, brilliant teacher of expression and
famous woman. in which she is report
ed to have said that the republican
party has been asked for plank in its
platform and had given splinter.
In letter addressed to Phil n.
Brown, publicity director of the repub-
pudiates the interview as sample of
democratic duplicity, and announces
that she is doing everything in her
power to elect Senator Harding to the
presidency.
'Dreadfully Misquoted. -
ST have never had any doubts Of our
republican party writes Miss Brown.
= I was dreadfully misquoted by those
southern papers. They did not print
what said about the democratic party,
and that was returning home to work
for Harding.
The democratic party offers the col
ored people absolutely nothing. It's ac-
tivities are all invested to take from
them every civic right and privilege
they secured under the republican par
ty, yet its papers do not hesitate to
stoop even to a point where they mis-
quote woman in their zeal to create
any sort Of disaffcction in the repub-
lican party.
Miss Brown is a sister to the. late
Jere "a. Brown, of Cleveland. one OF
the pioneer members Of the Ohio legis-
lature and great friend Of Senator
Harding and William Mckinley. It is
understood that the famous elocution-
ist will have a big part in the work
en- Of the country. This was practically
arranged for, soon after the national
convention had adjourned in June.

REVIEWS BUILDING DRIVE

The newly appointed financial com.
! mittee of the Croker Street Branch Y.
M. G. A. has launched campaign for
funds with which to enlarge and com.
plete their little building recently erect
cd at Twelfth and Croker streets by
addressing to each delinquent subscrib-
err copy of their first annual report
accompanied by the following letter:
Des Moines, Iowa.
July 3D., 1920.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed herewith is copy of the
first annual report of our executive sec
rotary, Mr.. E. G.. Robinson, giving q
brief history Of the work Of the Crock
er street branch Y. M. G. A. up to May
18th which is the close of our fiscal
year.
Since that date as you have doubt
less observed, we have taken possession
of our beautiful site at Twelfth and
Croker streets by erecting and occupy
ing one unit of the temporary building
which we had planned at the time Of
our building campaign in March of last
year, for which purpose you joined in
with number Of Others and subscribed
the liberal sum of $7,128.OO.
Doubtless you like numbers of other
subscribers have been disappointed in
the size and otherwise incompleteness
of the building we have erected; and
we therefore feel that it is our duty to
explain to you just why the building
is not more imposing.
The reason is that Of the $7,12S.0O
which you and others subscribed, all Of
it payable not later than January LIST
of this year, only $1,428.00 or less than
onefourth has been paid to this date
July 10, 1920, and, since under the
terms of our lease upon this corners we
were to occupy it absolutely free from
rent for the period of five years upon
the express condition that we erected
upon it Y. NJ. G. A. building for col
ored men and boys, we IRE compelled to
erect some kind of building or lose
this beautiful location, overlooking the
boulevard, which we also
hold an option to buy at nominal
price at the expiration of the five years
free rent; and since we found it inn
possible to erect 100000 building
with the $l,42S.00 you had given us, we
decided to have erected one unit which
is approximately one-fourth Of the
complete building; which has been SO
planned by Brother A. A. Alexander,
chairman Of our building committee,
that as soon as sufficient funds are paid
in we can go ahead and ereSt one or
more other units, without in any way

ufacturing company, according to
C. w. Hawkins, superintendent and
general manager. The building Is
5S by 140 feet and will accommo-
date the present needs of the fac
tory very well. 1t is the eXpecta-
ton of the promoters of the new
concern to have operations In full
blast within the next sixty days
and possibly sooner. Thirty-fiva
machines will be put in at first.
but it Is the prediction of Mr.
Hawkins, that the machinery of the
factory will have to be doubled in
less than six months time to take
care of the demand. Union labor
will be used. Where it is possible
women will be used, as it has been
proven they are much better
adapted for the work than men.
The opening of the factory viii
mean the employment of fifty
more people and the moving here
of several families. 1t will also
mean another pay roll of from
$1,000 to $1,000 week. The man
ufacturing department Of the fac
tory will be in charge of thor
oughly experienced and h'gh-class

ters will also be employed, people
who will soon be able to teach and
