This will be the second year in which the churches, Sunday schools, Y. M. C. A.'s, Y. W. C. A.'s, and similar organizations of the country have co-operated In this way for the building of interracial good will under the leadership of the Federal Council of Churches. Special programs for the day include the singing of negro spirituals and reading of negro verse and accounts of the achievements of such men as Booker T. Washington, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the composer, and others. Observance Urged Letters urging observance of Race Relation Sunday have gone out from the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association to all local city Y. W. C. A.'s, including the 65 colored branches under the supervision of Miss Eva D. Bowles, Administrator of Colored Work in Cities. "The gospel of goodwill is beginning to prevail," says Miss Bowles, "through the gradual process of making each race better informed about the other. During the past few years there has been a noticeable increase in the desire for mutual understanding. This has been clearly shown through the activities of a number of organizations, both of colored and of white people." Another step of progress will be inaugurated by the Bulletin-Appeal this week when we begin a new column known as "The Sifter." The purpose of this column is to give an opportunity for every citizen to express themselves on various conditions as they see them. We will give space only to constructive, timely and non-personal contributions and-reserve the right to reject articles not consistent with the purpose of the column. Many things of importance will be discussed through this column and every person interested in the welfare of the race may consider themselves privileged to contribute to "The Sifter." In inaugurating the new feature we fell that we are meeting a much needed condition in that many of the important issues can be discussed pro and con. Remember, "The Sifter" starts this week, so send in your idea of some conditions as prevails or what have you to suggest to improve things. All contributions must be in our office by Wednesday noon to be assured of space. Send articles in care of "The Sifter."

Mysterious Check Writer At Large A man posing as Henry Lowe entered the coal offices of Holmes and Halloween last week, purchased two tons of coal, ordered it sent to 563 West Central Ave., left of check for $37.00 and departed. The check however went through the bank and was returned bearing the stamp "no account" before the coal was sent out. Later a man of the same description as "Henry Lowe" gave a check to the Johnson Furniture Company for $75.00 for furniture to be delivered to 607 Rondo St. The man signed the check given here, as Harry Thompson. This check also was returned "no account" before the furniture was delivered. Authorities are under the impression that Harry Thompson and Henry Lowe are one and the same person.

THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924 RACE SALESMAN IS EMPLOYED BY LOCAL AUTO FIRM Every Advantage Given to Young Man to Represent Well Known Company The Raudenbush-Overland Auto Company, 344 N. Exchange St., is one if not the first companies in the Twin Cities to use an authorized salesman of the race. Mr. John Culver, who has been with the firm for some time, is the young man who is representing the Raudenbush-Overland Co., as a salesman. The company are agents for the Overland and Willys-Knight cars, both bearing a splendid reputation in the automotive market. Mr. Culver is greatly interested in the unusual bargains, offered by his company in used cars, also the facilities of the new ones. Arrangements may be made on favorable terms whereby no one can afford to be without a car sold by Mr. Culver. Campaign Started Mr. Culver represented the Raudenbush-Overland Company at the Exposition held at the Auditorium by the St. Paul Negro Business League. He is one of our progressive young men as such is highly deserving of our best consideration. His knowledge of automobiles will be or service to his patrons if any should desire a used car. Mr. Culver says: "I think one of the best ways to buy a car is from a responsible firm, a reliable salesman and a good commodity. I will be glad to demonstrate any car to a prospective buyer and assure them of getting value received for their money." We agree with Mr. Culver and hope the public will give him their support as he is one of our best young business men. CHARLEY LONG WINS FROM WARNIE SMITH AT ARMORY Charley Long of Omaha outclassed Warnie Smith, the "Oklahoma Cowboy," in a very tame 10-round bout at the Armory Friday, the 12th. The fight was a great disappointment. Long, who made such a fine showing against Eddie Morris, gave the best in him, but the highly touted Oklahoma Cowboy showed a preference for wrestling rather than boxing. The fighters were continually razed. The referee warned Smith on one or two occasions to quit wrestling.

From Slave to Capitalist The remarkable achievement of a former slave may be seen in a survey of the life of Mr. Richard Kemper, Monogahels, Pa. At the age of 18 years he ran away from his home in Virginia and secured a job as a stable boy, taking care of horses for the Union army. At the close of the Civil War he went to Monongahela where he learned the tanning trade. Being of a progressive disposition and saving his surplus dollars he began the purchasing of houses. His purchases of real estate continued until his present holdings envelope fifteen houses valued at more than $40,000. Besides his wealth in real estate Mr. Kemper owns two gas wells which bring him a handsome revenue, added to his property valuation makes a lucrative income in reclining years.

THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS RICHARD KEMPER Thrift Week Is Well Observed The past week, which was set aside as National Thrift Week was fittingly observed in St. Paul under the auspices of the local Urban league. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock a mass meeting was held at Little Pilgrim church, opening the Thrift Week campaign. Mr. Louis Betz, treasurer of the States Saving Bank was the principal speaker of the occasion. Mr. Betz fully covered the advantages of saving in his discourse, among the many good points made was "the accumulation of savings is what gave impetus to development in Art, Literature and Science." Other speakers were Mr. F. D. McCracken and Mr. James Jones. Musical numbers were rendered by Mr. Harrison Miller. Miss Lewis and Mr. L. Jackson. Mr. E. A. Carter, secretary of the Urban League, addressed several women's clubs during the week on the topic of thrift.

There were 85 organizations who sent three delegates to the convention to cast their ballots to nominate for council, comptroller and mayor. Commissioner Wenzel, who has been prominently mentioned to succeed Mayor Nelson, was undecided whether he could afford to run for the office of mayor and so stated to the delegates and convention assembled. No one was nominated for mayor. The commissioners nominated were Wenzel, Clancy, Corcoran and McGregan. Gibell was nominated for comptroller. The delegates from the Colored Voters League were Geo. C. Shannon, Attorney O. J. Smith and William Cannon. The Colored Voters League will hold a public mass meeting Thursday night, January 24, at Little Pilgrim church, corner Grotto St. and West Central Avenue.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS STARKS AND SON WIN SUIT BEGAN TO HALT PROJECT STARKS AND SON WIN SUIT BEGAN TO HALT PROJECT Committee from Groveland Park Improvement Association Loose Suit VICTORS GIVEN RIGHT TO BUILD ON OWN PROPERTY Unfair Interest Attack Judge O'Brien for Upholding Law and Justice Mr. Turner Starks, 1656 Grand Ave., and son, purchased a lot on St. Clair Street between Cleveland and Kenneth Avenue for the purpose of erecting a barber shop there. On the evening of May 28, 1923, a committee who claimed to represent the Groveland Park Improvement Association visited Mr. Starks' Shop, the purpose of the committee in making this visit, so it claimed, was to peacefully, calmly and in an orderly manner request Mr. Starks to dispose of the property as they were unalterably opposed to the erection of a Barber Shop in that neighborhood—just how peacefully and orderly this was done can be understood when it was found necessary for Mr. Turner Starks to defend himself with a gun. Mr. Starks was arrested and accused of having fired at Mr. Hacket, one of the members of the committee. Judge Criticized Judge O'Brien, before whom the case was tried, ordered an investigation, and when the facts of the case were reported it indicated that Mr. Starks had been driven to protect himself. Mr. Starks was given a suspended sentence. In the Ku Klux Klan paper Mr. McDonald, Assistant County Attorney was severely criticized for speaking openly in the behalf of Mr. Starks. Of course we can readily understand the purpose of this criticism when we take into consideration that this is election time and that Mr. McDonald is a candidate for public office. Summary A summary of the facts on the case are as follows: Mr. W. K. Hacket tried to get a temporary restraining order, to keep Mr. Turner Starks from erecting a Barber Shop on St. Clair Street between Cleveland and Kenneth. This case was tried in the District Court and lost. Mr. Hacket then appealed to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the lower court in preventing a temporary restraining order—meaning the second defeat for Hacket against Starks. This was Starks second victory. Attorney Geo. W. Hamilton represented Starks and Son in both the lower court and the Supreme court trials. Popular Girl Is Dead In Chicago Word has been received in the Twin Cities from Mrs. E. C. Alexander, 3123 Rhodes Ave., Chicago, announcing the death of her eldest daughter, Clara, who succumbed to pneumonia on New Year's Day. A few years ago the Misses Clara and Freda Alexander arrived from Mitchell, South Dakota, to make their home with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Saunders, while attending school. Later with their mother, they moved to Chicago, where they decided to make their home. Securing employment as a nurse Clara established quite a reputation in her profession. Apparently she never recovered from an operation for appendicitis and was unable to overcome her last illness. Both sisters were prominent socially; possessing many accomplishments, they soon acquired a large circle of friends who extend to the bereaved mother and sister their heartfelt sympathy.

Member of the ~ ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First in Service” EVERY VOTER SHOULD REGISTER One of the greatest privileges of citizenship is the ability to use the ballot without danger of molestation. This fact has made men realize its worth because it makes man part of the governing force that governs him. Because it gives him the opportunity of supporting or opposing whatever measure he desires. To safeguard this valuable privilege, laws are necessary to prevent corrupt usage of the ballot. Various states have enacted different legislation for the purpose of better securing themselves for public safety. Among these several states Minnesota has al- ways considered the free, yet properly guarded, use of the ballot. The legislature last year adopted a measure whereby registration must be done in a different than usual way. To fulfill this objec- tive the City Hall is opened daily to those wishing to exercise the privilege as well as duty of citizenship. Verbal appeals and letters are being used to secure a respectable registration so that the spring primaries and general election following might truly be “the will of the people.’ We wish at this time to call our voters’ attention to the neces- sity of registering in order to vote in the spring election. If we do not register and men not of our liking are elected to the public office, we have in a large measure ourselves to blame. To be con- scious of the fact that we have done our duty to ourselves and to our city we must register and then vote at the primaries and at the general election. There are men in our city government who have shown their willingness to mete out fair play to all men, eit of color, creed or previous, servitude. One of these men we believe to be Arthur E. Nelson, present Mayor of St. Paul and candidate for re-election. Mayor Nelson has not only given recognition to sev- eral of our men in public life, but has publicly demonstrated his belief in fair play. We believe that we are deserving of a higher representation in the various departments of the city. If we sup- port men who are fair-minded, we may be assured.of securing this representation. But if we, even registered, fail to vote, we are ‘jeopardizing our Ability to elect the proper city authorities. It is paramount that every race man or woman legally eligible to vote, register and use the ballot in the proper direction. The Race voters of our city must register and vote just the same as those of the other group. Let us support real men, not promises. We control a strategic ballot if used effectively. There are many things we are due. The only way to get them is to help men of worth and quality. No matter how busy we are, we must find time to go down to the City Hall and register. THINK IT OVER How much is your newspaper worth to. you? There are those who say “A local newspaper is not worth anything to me.” It is that person we want to talk to; the man who realizes the-value of a newspaptr to a community needs no education on that particular line, it is the man who feels that a newspaper is not a valuable asset to the community that we want to reach. Have you ever overheard a conversation of what happened in a distant city; of some corporation being organized; of some civic program being undertaken or a statement to the effect that such city is the best metropolis in America for economic or social advantages. Did you stop to consider how this information got out of the realms of this respective city? Possibly it came from a passerby who had visited there; again jt may have been written to a friend. But in the ma- jority of cases the home town paper, the little edition you refuse to advertise in, the journal you will not pay your subscription for —that is what advertises your home town to the outside world. When your city is the topic of conversation, you are being dis- cussed. When your city is highly recommended, you are likewise benefited. Your home paper can function in a great capacity only when you support it. Your paper serves you individually when it helps the city, of which you are a part. , For tliat reason, if none other, it is worthy of your consideration. Pay up your back subscription. Don’t have the circulation representative to call again and again when you have no intention of paying. It takes money for.us to put out a paper every week. decease scabies 7 -cllpetate: pad oaks Those who think advertising sh ‘pay the cost of production and overhead expense must remember your subscription money is vital to the maintenance of your local paper. ‘ If you are not a subscriber, send in your name with your check. Tell your friend, if you are a subscriber, And above all things, begin to realize that your paper is your advertiser and does many things you could not do.) Is it worth anything to you to have a real home paper? THINK IT OVER. MAX MASON PARDON PLAN : DELAYED FOR 30 DAYS Under the advice of Attorney W.

EH, Zion chureh, under the auspices of the Wo- men’s Bible and Civic Club, an active organization headed by B. §, Grimes. ‘These ‘services are held evgry Sun- day from’4 to 5 o'clock followed by a social hour from § to 6. = . Timely Topics A LOOK FORWARD (Chicago Whip) When the present captains of our industries, directors of our finance and our so called spokesmen in pub- He matters pass over in to the “great beyond” how and by whom will their ‘places be filled? What preparations are we making for the next genéra- tion? Is it to drift in as the seasons or are we planning to shape men to fit the places of their fathers? While our enemies are planning to proderve their supremacy for the next ten thou- sand years, while they with thelr pen- etrating and prophetic brains are com bating the natural laws of evolution and fraternity to insure the wealth of the world to their sons it appears that we should peer at least ten years in front of us to make sure that what ‘we have already achieved and acquir- ed may not be destroyed and the heights which we could not reach may be scaled by those who will come aft- or us, = Almost every black man who has ‘accomplished anything, to our under- standing, has veritably lifted himself by his own bootstraps. His fathers ‘id not build him a falerum and lever ‘and then command him to move the world, but he was foreed to manu- facture his own implements of ad- vancement and then find a place for them before he could begin his lift- ing. Something should be placed in the hands of the next generation, A spoon in the mouth of a new born black boy may mean a Star in the firmament of men as the clouds roll by. The present fathers of black boys have no desire to have their sons raise thelr eyes into the blackened ceilings of misery as they bavé done. ‘They wish for them fuller careers and stander achievements, but the wish without work will mean pothing but the same old story. se ‘The fathers of white boys have al- ready visualized the careers of their sons and following the syllogism of Kant that the “sons of priests must be priests,” they are teaching their sons not only to ‘master their own affairs but also the affairs of all mankind, The white father does not sen dhis sons to worship at the feet of the masters of sclence, philosophy, and human condyict for mere accomplishment, but he has stated that “white supremacy must be maintained.” When the sweet voice of Hayes is blended with that of Car- uso, when the ineomparable genius.of Taniler is made to commune with Ra- phael, when the brilllancy of DuBois has been shunted somewhere to com- mingle with Poe and Hawthorne and when the entire ‘array of lights of black men are deflected out yonder ifito the mystery of infiiity, who will take their places? Is the innate gen- tus of the black race to be “born to blush unseen” or will the present gen- eration recognize as a fact that it is here and proceed to develop it? Every possible encouragement and opportunity should be given to the youth of today and every’ business man and individual who is concerned with the affairs of his people should select his understudy in order that in the years that follow the next gener- ation may carry on and on until sup- remacy is theirs. While our rivals in the race of life seek to keep us under a perpetual handicap it is en- tirely wise that we should mateh their plans with our own whepeby we may be stripped of every weight.

AORTUN ESTERS PULL Err Battling Siki © | May Head Card | In Minneapolis Sree | Battling Siki, Senegalese, not so long ago held the world’s light heavy- Weight champion, will headline the next boxing show at the Kenwood armory January 31, according to re- lable information Tuesday. Neither Frank MeCormick, presi- dent of the Hennepin County Athletic association, nor his matchmakers, Tommy Walsh and Billy Hoke, have made such an announcement, but it is learned that Walsh has placed Siki on the card and, ostensibly, has the Negro signed. Walsh, who went to Chicago Sunday night, is belleved to have signed Siki or reached an agree- ment with him some time ago. ‘Word that Sikt is to be on the card bears out the mysterfous announce- ment Hoke made from the armory ring at the Fulton-Hermam show last Friday night that “two of the best big boys-in the country will be on the next card.” . ‘ No intimation is given of who Siki’s opponent will be, but it Is believed that Walsh Wil! endeavor to obtain a high-class boxer of color to meet the Senegalese battler, although bouts between Negro and white boxers are now allowed in Minnesota.

[Bourdont Court]. By the Court: HOWARD WHEELER. Judge of Probate H. Turner, Attorney. Editor of Whip Seeks Job Held ByPhil A.Brown Senator McCormick Said to Have Sponsored Bibb; De Priest Also Helps. Washington, D. C.—Joseph D. Bibb, editor of The Chicago Whip, is an applicant for the job made vacant by the death of Phil H. Brown, who was Commissioner of Conciliation in the Department of Labor. The candidacy of Mr. Bibb is being sponsored by Senator Medill McCormick. Mr. Bibb as editor of The Whip has attracted attention by his bitter criticisms of colored Republicans. He has kept up a tirade against them and has characterized them as "Uncle Toms." The subjects of his caustic comments have run the gamut from an alderman of the city of Chicago to a member of the Republican National Committee. In political fights he lined up with reformers and against the regular organization. But all such tactics are relegated now. For and in consideration of this job, it is alleged, he will lay down his trenchant pen and become just as regular in his Republicanism as any of the colored followers of the "old Guard." Promises to this effect, it is said, have been made to Oscar DePriest and other Republican bosses, whose endorsements are necessary. Mrs. M. M. Donovan has returned from a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Smith Carney of Detroit, Mich., who became the mother of a fine girl, born on the 15th of December. JUDGE FINES MAN FOR OPERATING CHANCE GAME Louis Watson was fined $50 in municipal court today when he entered a plea of guilty to a charge of running a gambling house. George Bells, one of those present when police raided the back room at 234 E. Fairfield avenue, was given a 90-day suspended sentence for carrying a gun, and the weapon was confiscated. Frank Martins, Ed Heveles and Paul Navarro, Mexicans, were dismissed on a charge of gambling. Ben Shein and Sam Schiffman, also arrested on the gambling charge, forfeited $15 bail when they failed to appear in court today. Lawyers Seek to Deprive Maiden Of Rich Land Intrigue Seen in Attempt to Wrest Vast Fortune From Student at Western "U." Kansas City, Mo.—Eager hands, working under protection of Oklahoma law to snatch a girl and a fortune from the campus of Western University, in Quindaro, were brushed aside in a Wyandotte district court Monday, when Judge F. D. Hutchings dissolved an order restraining Dr. F. Jesse Peck and other officers of the university from preventing outsiders from communicating with the girl student. The girl in the case is Miss Lonzetta Canady, attractive eighteen-year-old student at the university, whose home is in Depew, Okla. Miss Canady's holdings of 160 acres of oil land there are reputed to be worth nearly $500,000. The court action was the result of efforts on the part of her half brother, Giles Canady, to communicate with her, and, according to lawyers and others in the case, to get her to sign away her rights to the valuable property for the benefit of white men in Oklahoma. Marriage Sought. A veritable network of intrigue, including the sending of a prospective husband to register at the campus as a student and marry the heleness, has been woven about Miss Canady since she became of age. Ben Canady, her father, brought her personally to Western-University and requested especially that she not be allowed off the campus on any pretext whatsoever unless she was accompanied by the matron. Mr. Canady said Monday that he felt at that time that white lawyers in Oklahoma would try some means of getting control of his daughter's property and he brought her to school for safekeeping. About the middle of November a prospective student, from Oklahoma, sent a draft for $150 to the registrar of the university for tuition. He came to Kansas City, but instead of going directly to the campus, he went out on a "good time," became talkative and told friends that he had come to Western to marry Miss Canady and thus have a share in administering her money. The story reached the ears of Dr. Peck and the man's tuition was returned, not to him, but to other men, who, it is alleged, paid it for him. Scheme Thwarted. For three days just prior to Thanksgiving an automobile bearing a Tulsa license and containing two white men and a Negro camped in front of the women's dormitory and roved about the campus until police forced them to move, Mrs. Curry, girls' matron, said Monday. Headquarters for the alleged conspirators are said to have been at a well known Eighteenth street hotel. A number of Negroes, including the girl's half brother, are alleged to have been "bought" by certain white men who want to get control of the fortune. The effort of the half brother, Giles, to get Miss Canady away from the campus to a lawyer's office brought on the court action that exposed the plot. The boy wanted the court to order Dr. Peck to allow him to see his sister at will. This the court refused to do after W. L. Wood, attorney for the university and the girl, told the court that the whole business was a scheme on the part of one Thomas C. Swanson, a white lawyer of Oklahoma City, to be appointed Miss Canady's lawyer in Oklahoma. When Liewellyn Smith and Charles S. Johnson, who wrote such enlightening articles about the colored citizens of New York City and Illinois, respectively, come to Washington, they will find something worth while to write about. Mr. Walter F. Wilson, a horticulturist and the owner of the Wilson Violet Farm, located near Big Rapids, Mecosta County, Michigan, is the leading colored grower of flowers in the United States.

P. and Equal Rights League Hear From Father of Dyer Bill. Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri has telegraphed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth avenue, New York, from Washington, that the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill has been favorably reported without amendment by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. A special rule will be asked for thus enabling the introduction of the measure on the floor of the House at an early date. Mr. Dyer's telegram to the N. A. A. C.

JUDGE REFUSES A Thomas Johnson, serving a maximum sentence of 30 years in state prison, Stillwater, has become an artist. Two of his paintings were submitted to the state pardon board yesterday by his attorney as evidence of Johnson's reformation. However, the works of art had little effect on the board members because no action was taken on his plea for freedom. The board completed its hearings on 85 other cases and took all of them under advisement, pending personal interviews at the prison and reformatory with some of those most worthy of further consideration. In most instances, however, the pleas for clemency were denied. Johnson, "the artist," was sentenced to prison from Minneapolis in September, 1921, charged, with a statutory offense. HARRY WILLS HURTS HAND AND CANCELS FOUR BOUTS New York.—Harry Wills, heavyweight pugilist, was reported to have injured his right hand in training, as a result of which he will be obliged to cancel four bouts scheduled within the next few weeks at Rochester, N.

Incidentally Norfolk banged up a perfectly good right hand, which may mean that his victory so lightly won, will in the end cost him dear. He left right after the fight for New York again with Bill Hewlett, trainer, and Leo Flynn, manager, where he will attempt to get his injured member in condition for the bout with Roughhouse Wilson, scheduled for Windsor, Ontario, Canada, next Wednesday night. Grant Man of Mystery. Grant, whose announced weight was 161, is to many fans a man of mystery. Touted in advertisements as a West Indian fighter from the Barbados, making his first American appearance. In contradiction of this, the same ads announced that he had defeated Geo. Godfrey. Found in bed at Smith's Hotel, Wednesday before the fight, Grant told an AFRO reporter that his real name was John Walker, and that he is better known as the Panama Dixie Kid. His home, he said, was in Panama, his father being French and his mother a native. He declared he had fought first in 1914, a draw with Steamboat Bill Scott, beaten Jack Dowdy, Battling Kid of Mobile and this year, fought a draw with Joe Walker, and knocked out Sandy Bokus. Evidently the talk about a "first American appearance" is a sort of a joke. Fight No Joke. However, the fight itself was no joke to Grant, whose white silk trunks were wet with perspiration after the first round. Norfolk wore his usual bandage over his right knee and purple silk trunks. As the bell sounded, a black streak scooted across the ring and landed a sharp tap on Norfolk's face. It took the audience by surprise and Norfolk, too, who was busy for the next two minutes dodging Grant's blows which showered on him in all directions. Norfolk, still surprised, covered, and Grant finding no opening, delivered a resounding smack on Norfolk's kidneys. The crowd laughed and Norfolk finally warmed to his job. As he sailed in a right uppercut caught Grant on the elbow and the rest of the fight Norfolk nursed his injured knuckles. Grant carried the fight to Norfolk in the hope of getting the Kid rattled. Instead as the first surprise wore off, Norfolk got in his deadly infighting. A murderous left hand that shot up only six inches caught Grant on the jaw and he went down for the count of nine. His body was willing, and he sailed into Norfolk again, only to receive again that crushing short jab to the jaw. Grant was on the floor as the round ended, the referee over him counting. Last Round. There wasn't much to the last round. Norfolk, said to weigh 182, had a 20-pound advantage over his opponent and this with the champion's experience, made the battle lopsided. He rushed Norfolk again as the round began, dodging and ducking the fists shoved at him in all directions. With the round half gone, Grant ran into his left to the 5.

He was able to rise at the count of ten but the bout was over. "A game kid," was Norfolk's comment in his dressing room after the fray, where Hewlett was trying to bring ease to the painful hand. "He brought it to me in the first round," Norfolk added. "Norfolk's a better man," was Grant's only observation as he tried to shake the cobwebs out of his brain in a dressing room next to Norfolk's. "I want to meet him again later and I'll make a better showing." Wins Favor With Philharmonics Philadelphia, Pa.—Marian Anderson, a 22-year-old girl of this city, recently scored a heavy hit as contralto soloist with the Philarmonic Society, one of America's leading orchestras. The young artist, who is at present studing with Giuseppe Bogetti, rose to the occasion of her opportunity, and, with a musician's sensibility and a voice of quality far above the average, rendered a number of outstanding selections. First, she offered "O Mio Fernando," from Donizetti's "Favorita." Then she sang two Negro spirituals, "My Lord, What a Mornin,'" and "Heav'n, Heaven." Delivering the Donizetti air with telling fervor and dramatic emphasis, she passed to the more congenial field of racial songs in which she was thoroughly at home. These native ballads she gave in a way that reached and stirred the hearts of all who heard her luscious and resonant voice, with a driving power of art and temperament behind it. The applause, when she finished, came like a sudden blast of gun-fire, and continued through so many recalls that it seemed as if a rule must be broken and an encore granted.

Cedar 8081 339 Wabahsa Street By CLARISSA MACKIE (© 1924, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) "A box for you, Miss Mary," announced Nora from the open doorway of the living room. "Ah, flowers?" asked Mary, a little breathlessly, because no man had ever sent her flowers before. Of course, Jimmy Lane had brought her violets now and then—Jimmy was sentimental about violets—but to receive a mysterious box like this—square and deep, lavender tinted and tied up with ribbon—a box bearing the magic name of the most expensive florist in town, that was almost like a dream. A sudden thought shattered the dream. Perhaps Jimmy had sent the box! Now she had lifted the cover, pulled aside the waxed paper and sighed with delight. Of course Jimmy had not sent them! Her pulse quickened—who in her circle of friends would send her orchids? She, who was "almost engaged" to Jimmy Lane, could name no man who admired her enough to risk offending Jimmy. "Some unknown admirer," whispered Romance, when she had searched the box for a card and found nothing. Mary was still gazing into the hearts of the exotics when the door opened and in walked Jimmy, unannounced as usual. With her arms full of paper and flower-filled box Mary lifted her shy eyes to his face; her smile was as lovely as ever. Jimmy saw the orchids, stopped short and stared hard. "Orchids? Huh!" "Aren't they lovely?" "Beautiful." "I shall wear them tonight." "Of course!" "Then you have changed your mind about going with me?" "Why—why—" Mary's eyes sparkled. Why not make her faithful knight jealous? "Why do you ask that?" she ended. "I brought violets for you to wear—some other man has sent orchids; if you wear his flowers I suppose you will go with him," explained James Lane doggedly. "Oh, I never thought of that." "Who sent the orchids?" he asked suspiciously. "Must I tell, Jimmy?" she asked plaintively. "Suit yourself." "Then I won't—and I will put them away in water and—and" she stopped short with the flowers in her hand. Jimmy had picked up the box cover and outside paper, and suddenly roared with laughter. "Amusing, isn't it?" asked Mary crisply. He turned sharply, his mirth gone. "Mary, will you tell me who sent you these flowers?" he asked gravely. "I cannot tell you that, Jimmy," coldly (and it was the truth—she could not). "May I guess?" "If you can." He pondered a moment. "John Flint," he hazarded. "I'm not acquainted with him." "Walter Mann." "He is engaged to my cousin, May. I thought you knew that." "Young Lamson—the ple-faced one?" "Pooh," said Mary, flushing at her own duplicity. Why not tell Jimmy that she did not know who her unknown admirer was? But no, it was a new experience, this one of trying to make Jimmy jealous. Mary left the room and returned presently with a vase of water into which she put the orchids. First she held them against the pale-gray gown she was wearing and admired the effect of the delicate mauve tints, touched with deep violet. Suddenly she thought of the violets. "Where are the violets, Jimmy?" she asked. "Didn't they come?" "I thought you brought them with you—you always do." "Not this time—had them sent from Ridder & Wld's. Ordered them this morning." "Ridder & Wld's?" she asked faintly. He nodded. "I was there with Walter Mann, and sent them along. Well, I must get back to the office. What time shall I come for you tonight—or are you going to wear orchids?" "I d-don't know," she faltered. He looked down at her diminutive height from his six feet two, and his good-looking face whitened with anger. His gray eyes blazed. "That is quite plain enough, Mary; I surely do not mean to annoy you with my attentions. I expected that you would go with me because you had said that you would, but I will gladly yield to a more agreeable escort." Mary—oh, so contrary—had lost her lovely color and looked like a marble cherub so white was she. Pride held her lips fast and her tongue, which could have so easily explained away all the misunderstanding, was silent. In that moment she hated orchids, Jimmy, and her unknown admirer. "You have no right to forbid my accepting flowers from any other man," she said suddenly. Jimmy stared at her with unfriend eyes. "I merely asked his name." "I cannot see that you are inter ested," said Mary wickedly. "No? Then I am afraid that I have not made myself very clear," said Jimmy coldly. "May I not withdraw from the honor of taking you to the dance tonight? Thank you so much for—all—that you have been to me." He stumbled into the hall, picked up his coat and fled from the house, appearing at his office in a horrible temper with every one. Mary stared blankly at the closed door. What an idiot she had been. Merely to satisfy her own vanity—to make Jimmy think that some one was sending her orchids. Why, she loved Jimmy Lane. The color flamed into her face now. While she stood there, dazed, the door opened and her cousin, May, entered. She was a pretty, dark-eyed girl, dressed for the street. "Mary, dear, you have got my orchids, and I received your violets. I hope you don't mind my opening the little note inside. I only read one line when I discovered that it was from Jimmy; he wouldn't dare propose to me, now that I'm engaged to Walter. Here, I can dry the stems on my hanky, going to lunch with Walter and must wear his orchids. Good-by, my dear, and heaps of joy to you." She kissed Mary and flew away to meet her lover. Mary went to the telephone and called Jimmy. "Please, Jimmy," she said in a quavering voice, "don't be angry. I have just read your note, and is it too late to give you an answer?" "Never too late if it is 'yes,'" muttered Jimmy. "It is yes, yes, yes," confessed romantic Mary. "And the orchids?" "May wore them away, they were for her. It was a mistake." And Jimmy never told her that he knew it all the time for he had been with Walter Mann when the flowers were ordered. SCOFFS AT OLD HARDSHIPS Aged Woman, Born at Sea, Fought the Kanakas, Calls Life Uneventful. She must have been seventy. A mild, gentle old lady with faded blue eyes and a faded, diffident voice. Her frail, veined hands rested limply in her lap as if the slightest movement would snap them at the wrist. She wore a plain blouse of gray flannel and a rusty black dress without shape that covered the very tips of her square-toed shoes, writes J. D. M. Sitting bolt upright in her chair, hardly moving her lips when she spoke, she seemed to be made of glass, brittle to the touch. I had been told that of all the residents of Noumea she had lived the most strenuous life. Yet she said: "Why, no, nothing is ever really happened. No, I don't think so, not really." And then I found out that she had been born on a trading schooner somewhere up in the Banks islands, and that her mother had died the week after, and the schooner had been attacked when it anchored off Mota, where the dead woman was to be burled. She had been christened Mercy because the attack failed. She skipped 20 years of her life with the comment. "Father always said I should have gone to school—but I liked the sea." Then she married and went to live in a shack near Oubatche at the northern end of New Caledonia. The Kanakas were "pretty quiet," but one night they came knocking at the door while her husband was away. She opened the door a crack, and in rushed four of them in their war paint "and all." She shot two of them dead. The others fled. "But they caught Tom a while later." Then she went to keep house for her three brothers, and nothing more happened to her except that "sometimes the Kanakas were pretty nasty if they had been drinking." Two of her brothers lost their heads on such an occasion, and she only saved the other by dragging him 20 yards to shelter. Even then— "What with tending Harry and the baby, and keeping my ears open for those Kanakas, and thinking of Will and Hugh, I got no sleep that night." After that her days were eventless. Her son was a good boy, now living in Australia, making money. She kept house for her brother Harry, who couldn't do much for himself because his "leg never mended quite proper." "But I like it here," she smiled. "It's nice and quiet. Nounae is quite a town now." When I left she was standing over a wood fire preparing her brother's supper.—Adventure Magazine. Returning the Favor A clergyman who was getting trimmed came to himself with a start. "Finished, eh?" he said. "Yes, sir," said the barber. "I finished some time ago." "Then I must have been insulging in a nap. It was very kind of you not to waken me. The rest has done me good and I am very thankful to you for what was quite a refreshing sleep." "Don't mention it, sir," responded the barber. "It's only a fair return. I attended your church last Sunday."—Boston Transcript. Loitering Around. "But surely, dear," said her best friend, "you're jumping to conclusions, aren't you? You say yourself that he hasn't even suggested—" The simple little thing smiled softly. "No," she answered. "But he's loitering with intent." SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN THIS ESKIMO HAD GUMPTION Work of Native Woman, Who Was Solo Survivor of Arctic Expedition, is Marvelous. Those who have followed the daily press during recent weeks have probably noticed the disastrous and tragic ending of the recent Wrangel island arctic expedition, in the account of which Ada Blackjack, an Eskimo woman, figures strikingly, says Madison Cooper in the Flower Grower. For fortitude, courage, resourcefulness, religious merit and all around gumption, Ada Blackjack serves as an object lesson to many of her brothers and sisters of greater opportunities and enlightenment. Compared with a person of the strongest mental balance and with the greatest physical endurance and experience, the accomplishments of this mite of humanity (she is less than five feet tall), are most marvelous. While nursing a dying companion, confined to his bed for weeks, this little woman performed all of the duties necessary for an existence in the polar regions, including cutting wood, trapping, hunting, cooking, etc. She even during this time learned to use firearms and shot seals to help out the scanty food supply. The real worth of a human being is only demonstrated by necessity combined with opportunity. Under circumstances which we of the so-called civilized races of the earth would probably have succumbed to discourage and disease, Ada Blackjack rose trumpphant and never showed the "white feather" or what our modern slang calls a "yellow streak." If Ada Blackjack is a good representative of her race, truly the Eskimo has never been valued at his true worth. ORIENTAL FAREWELL QUIET Forms Sharp Contrast to Roars of Occidental Crowd as Ships Leave Port. As the big liner steamed out of port a hoarse, deep-throated roar shook her tan and black funnels; and a lesser, wilder cry burst from the thousands alongside. Roses pelted down from the decks above, arms whirled like pinwheels, and deafening crowds screamed their farewells. But in the strong a little pool of silence brooded undisturbed. Six impassive oriental faces formed a half moon of silence as old as the Dawn of Creation. Sphinxlike, through impenetrable almond eyes they watched the whirlwind sweep the crowd. What was the going of a mere vessel to such as they? Up on the ship's higher deck stood a lone oriental figure whose almond eyes focused on the group. A thin yellow hand lifted the black hat horizontally in the air, a fleeting ghost of a smile ruffled the impenetrable eyes. Nothing more! The yellow faces below gleamed strangely. Six hats rose simultaneously in air. No waving, no yelling, no cries. Only a shadow of a smile in the watching almond eyes. The crowds raged on, shrieking, running, weeping. But the Orient stood silent, smiling its impenetrable ancient smile.—New York Sun and Globe. Cold Shrinks Everything. Nearly everything shrinks as it gets cooler. As there is the same weight in less volume any given volume weighs more. The cooler anything is, the heavier is any given volume of it, with the important and vital exception of water. Water has the peculiar property of getting heavier all the way down the scale until the temperature of 39 degrees Fehrenheit is reached; then it begins to expand again until it freezes and afterward. As a result, a given volume of water at 32 degrees, or the temperature at which it freezes, is lighter than water at 39 degrees and rises above it before freezing begins. The Ice being still lighter, floats on the water. If water did not have this queer property, ice would form on the bottom of bodies of water, there would be no protection of the surface by a layer of ice from further cooling and many rivers and lakes would freeze solid, killing all the fish. The summer sun would never be able to melt all of the winter's ice. Story About Queen Victoria. Since Strachey's biography of Queen Victoria stories about her have been rife. One not yet widely disseminated concerned Sir F. Bertie, who was undersecretary for foreign affairs in the days before he was knighted. Mr. Bertie had often to visit the queen, and used to announce his arrival by telegram. Finally, one day, Victoria is said to have remarked to him: "Mr. Bertie, I must ask you to be good enough not to sign your telegrams announcing your arrival 'Bertie,' as it makes me expect my son, and causes me disappointment." Posting Him. A young curate was visiting the old women of the parish, and felt ill at ease. One old lady of great experience asked him if he was nervous, and he replied that he was. She then offered to advise him. "You read a bit," she said, "you pray a bit, and you gives me a shilling, and then you goes." "All Aboard!" Old Colored Mammy—Ise wants a ticket to Florence.

PROBABLE SHIFT IN CITY RACE IS LACKING IN FACT Dirge of Registered Voters said to be Cause of Appeal Made by Association To impress the voters with the importance of registering under the law as passed by the last session of the legislature, the voters association is sending out letters urging voters to register for the spring election. The persons to whom the letters are sent are asked to pass the letter along until it reaches six friends. With this method it is expected that an impetus will be given the already established movement. Every business day from now until election day will be used for the interest of the permanent resident who desires to use the ballot. The specific purpose is to increase the number of registered voters to an appreciable number. Importance Shown The following extract from the letter, sent out explains the purpose: "As you know, every voter must register this year under the new permanent registration law passed by the last session of the state legislature. Every business day from now on is a registration day with the city clerk, city hall. Go there at any time and qualify, for once registered, always registered, provided you remain in the same precinct and vote once in two years. "It is important that every eligible citizen in Saint Paul register and vote at the coming spring election. The issues at that time will be of vital importance to us all, and unless we are registered we will not be allowed to say how they shall be decided." "Will you please help? And will you keep a record of those to whom you send this letter supplementing it with any information as to result and mail it to G. N. Briggs, 451 Endicott Building? I will be obliged to you if you will make this an early donation to the cause." Again, the local Negro Business League's program is materializing. The League has interested itself in housing among our people, and Mr. McCracken heading this committee has had the assistance of the Executive Board in placing the matter before a large contracting firm. Fred D. McCracken, our energetic real estate agent announces a $200,000 housing program for our group to be located in the Rondo Street district. The houses will be five and six room types of bungalow. The program is already under way, six of them are no wunder construction on St. Anthony Avenue between Avon and Fisk and will be sold on a monthly payment basis. This will go a long ways in relieving the housing shortage among our group. Comedy, Song And Dance Fill Theatre Bill Broderick and Felsen Headliners at Seventh Street Theater, Minneapolis. Comedy and song and dance will feature next week's variety bill at the Seventh Street theater. Much is expected from Jack Broderick and Buddye Jane Felsen, headliners, in their colorful dancing, assisted by Verne Rothaar at the piano. Their stage settings are said to be most artistic. For laughter purposes only is "The Dolings of Dr. Louder," a playlet offered by Hugh L. Conn, Charlotte Willard and Maurice Downey. The plot concerns McGuire from the Klondyke, who calls for relief at the office of Dr. Louder, a deaf physician, with a stammering office maid. Other acts on the bill include Willie Dunlay and Bessie Merrill, musical comedy favorites, in a comedy skit with music, "So Long Broadway," Calvin and O'Connor, comedians; the Australian Waites, "the world's greatest stock whip manipulators," and Hiro, Sumi and Keyo, Japanese acrobats. The feature picture for the week will be "The Breathless Moment," with William Desmond. One of the leading milk dealers in Freehold, N. J., is Mr. John Jones, a colored man. The eight states having mulatto populations of 100,000 or more are Georgia, Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas. Sen. Johnson In Speech Agrees With Reduction Sen. Johnson In Speech Agrees With Reduction Says Policy Will Eliminate Usual Method of Selecting Improper delegates. (By the Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio.—Senator Hiram Johnson, a candidate for President of the United States, seems determined to make "Southern representation in the Republican National Convention," one of his chief issues in the fight for the nomination. While it is claimed by the friends of the senator that his fight is "sectional" and not "racial," nevertheless many of the voters of color who had calculated on turning their eyes towards the "Golden Gate," are somewhat mystified. The senator is reported to have said to conferees that what he desires is to "see the delegates and patronage go where the votes count," and that, if elected President, he will appoint all Northern colored men to Federal office. To date, the senator has made no statement on cutting down Southern representation in Congress, but this is his Cleveland statement on cutting in conventions: "The selection of a president begins with the apportionment of delegates to a national convention. Just as pollution at the source of a stream will pollute the whole stream, wrong and injustice in the selection of delegates to a national convention will permeate and taint the very convention itself. Reduction Justified. "The selection of delegates from certain of the southern states had become so corrupt and had created so many scandals that finally the Republican national convention in 1920 passed a resolution commanding within a year the Republican national committee to adopt a just and equitable basis of representation in future national conventions. The national committee obeyed and within the year acted, and while its action did not constitute 'a just and equitable representation,' nevertheless, it reduced the delegates in southern states where there is no Republican party. "The reduction was a mere step in the right direction. It did not do justice to the real Republicans, but it furnished the basis for further reductions. This work of the national committee, solemnly done after full hearings, a few days ago in Washington, under the orders of our opponents, was nullified and the scandalous and unfair representation accorded southern states in past conventions was again given them. Self Government. "I speak of this outrageously unfair selection of delegates because there is a real service that we can render, both our party and nation and because there is a fundamental principle at stake. The service we may render is to have conventions which honestly express the will of the Republican party, and beyond that, the principle for which we strive is that this government belongs to all its people, the Republican party belongs to all its members, the people themselves are entitled to govern the country, just as the membership of the Republican party is entitled to govern that party. "These southern delegates are selected, as you know, and as I know, by commands issued in the city of Washington to a very few Federal office holders in the different states. A nomination by delegates thus selected, in number grossly disproportionate, is a reproach to the Republican party. Our democracy is but an iridescent dream if year after year we permit a few bosses either to deny the right of expression to all the electors, or where that expression is given to thwart it by hand-picked southern delegates. Popular government in those states where there are no primaries is a sham and a farce. "A nomination made by delegates from states without presidential primaries in conjunction with purchase of hand-picked delegates from southern states is not made by the will of the party but in spite of it. The recent action of the Republican national committee is a reversion to the abhorrent conditions from which we thought we had emerged. It is this system upon which we war, and it is this system I challenge in this campaign. It is, in the last analysis, a test of popular government." One of the leading European news- distributing agencies has issued instructions to its American manager to cable full reports of all lynchings in this country. Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor says: "Both workers and employers in the United States are better off today than are workers and employers anywhere else in the world." Let The Bulletin Appeal Do ALL Your Printing SANHEDRIN WILL BE WELCOMED BY MANY NOTABLES One of the Most Significant Sessions in Race History Set for Feb. 1 (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—The Chicago committee of one hundred in charge of local preparations for the Sanhedrin or All-Race Conference, the week of February 11, has roused the people to the importance of the gathering and with the genuine "I will" spirit, the motto of Chicago, real activity is in the going. Dr. George C. Hall, chairman; Morris Lewis, secretary; Dr. Charles W. Burton, in charge of entertainment, and Claude A. Barnett, director of publicity, together with other members of the well organized committee, are making adequate preparations for the distinguished visitors expected to attend. Splendid Accommodations. Splendid Accommodations. The best homes of the city, in addition to the hotels, will be at the disposal of the delegates, and a maximum charge of $2.00 for lodging and breakfast has been fixed for the former by the committee. Mrs. Ada McKinley, 3201 Wabash avenue, is chairman of the housing committee. The committee headquarters are at the Appomattox Club, 3632 Grand boulevard. Delegates may write either. The Chicago committee is working in complete harmony with Dean Kelly Miller and the National Committee of the Sanhedrin, and there is no question but what the gathering will be one of the most important in the history of the race. Large attendance expected. One of the significant developments is the interest white people are manifesting in the "WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT?" Indications are that the attendance will far surpass expectations and will be highly representative of the best thought of the group. Preliminary to the opening of the conference Sunday night, February 10, there will be a "watch meeting" at St. Mark's M. E. church under the auspices of the Associated Negro Press. The event will be unique. Mrs. David Jordan has returned from a pleasant visit with relatives and friends in Fort Madison, Iowa. "EVEN AS YOU AND I!" The "powers-that-be" had decided on their own initiative to take over the responsibilities of selecting the associates for a certain new comer in the community. However they failed to take into consideration that probably the new comer preferred to select his own acquaintances and associates. The direct cause of this story is a young man, a college graduate—a direct branch from one of New York's oldest and most respected families. The young man had made a mistake, as might even you and I. He got started on the wrong tangent when he first arrived in the community—but he is making an admirable effort to correct this mistake. The new comer realized the worth of this young chap and a friendship developed that was mutually appreciated. This companionship was very objectionable to the "powers-that-be." First the yresorted to diplomacy—it failed. Then they decided to use pressure—in urging the person to whom the new comer was directly responsible to use drastic measures in handling the disturbing situation. However, imagine their surprise to find that the "impossible creature" was a personal friend of his would-be persecutor. It is not necessary to say that each of the "powers-that-be" suddenly remembered that they had a very important business appointment at that very moment! They have learned their lesson—even as you and I! SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) Africa has but very few good harbors. King Tut must have instructed the royal grave digger to plant him deep.

CO-OPERATION The word co-operation seems to mean so little to our people. Perhaps if we had a more definite explanation of the word we might understand what it means. There is no business, of any kind, that doesn't need the co-operation of all concerned churches, lodges, clubs and business propositions' need the co-operation of the public. We, in our little world, need the help of all of our race to make it a better and bigger place to enjoy the liberty allowed us. Each one should never knock his friend or foe; if you can't say something good about him or her, don't say it. Always boost. Perhaps if we would patronize our own business houses where our dollars mean so much in helping the owner to give a better service, better goods, and better accommodations to the public. There are places located, where the majority of our people live, that don't appreciate our money. But still we pass by our own store and patronize these places. We are blessed with several good business men on our Northside that really have the public in heart and are trying in every way to give their patrons the very best of everything. But still we find that people will give their trade to the others, who don't want their trade. I am not saying that this is true in all cases, because I can name any number of white business houses that make a special effort for our business because they appreciate our trade and are always willing to help us in many things that come up. Our churches need the help of all people, our lodges the all, why not help by going to church on Sunday. Our newspaper needs the assistance of everyone. Be a booster. Perhaps if the business men of the Twin Cities had co-operated with the Negro Business exhibition it would have been a bigger success; also if the public at large had helped the Masons with their affair it would have been a greater one. So you see co-operation is very essential in anything that is to be. The business houses need the co-operation of the public. Help those who appreciate your dollars and not some meat shop or grocer who takes your money and gives nothing in return. EDITORS BEGIN STUDYING THE LYNCHING BAN Minneapolis Journal Says Unsecure Safety Is One Cause of the Exodus. The White Press seems to be taking an interest in the life of the Race more than ever. The immigration and economic problems are being discussed by many editors who once looked sparsely on this subject. The following under the caption of "Judge Lynch and the Exodus" is taken from the Minneapolis of Jan. 15. The lynching record for the past year shows a distinct improvement, the number of cases having fallen off from fifty-seven to twenty-eight, confined mostly to the Southern States as usual. Various causes are assigned for this growing disposition to let the law take its course, rather than appeal to the violent judicature of Judge Lynch. The chief cause, however, is seldom set forth. This, no doubt, is the growing disposition of the Negro to migrate from those commonwealths where he finds little security. The northward movement of the Negro has given the South to think. It cannot spare him, yet it must do so, unless it treats him better. If this is, as it seems to us, the chief cause for the recession of lynching in 1923, it suggests strongly that the Negro has the remedy in his own hands. He has but to set his face northward, wherever the community does not esteem him sufficiently to see that he gets the protection of the courts. Indeed, the South must go farther than that, if it would not see a steadily diminishing Negro population to raise its cotton and do its manual labor. It must provide better schools and better opportunities generally for the black man. MINNEAPOLIS NEAPOLIS ADVERTIS CASE Dan Desdune's Band at the Auto Show Feb. 2-9.
