Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III, NO.12 COM. W. J. PETER IS AN EFFICIENT MAN FOR PLACE Facts Are Shown Whereby City Has Been Greatly Benefited by This Commissioner. Commissioner Wm. J. Peter gave some interesting facts in connection with the problems of his department when speaking to a group of his workers last Wednesday. He said in part: The average citizen of St. Paul has no conception of the problems imposed upon the Department of Public Works at this time. There are certain self-evident facts that should be taken into consideration in connection with the dirt streets of the city at this time. As the streets have been covered with snow for several months and in a frozen condition, consequently very little work could be done upon them. In spite of that fact, however, many hundreds of yards of cinders have been laid during the winter. In addition to that condition we all know that it rains during the month of April and that when rain hits the dirt street it causes a muddy condition. This is true every year during the month of April. Again, the frost has been in the ground which prevented the city forces from doing effective work until just now. Work on hard-surfaced streets is commencing this week. It would be folly to put scarifiers and graders on streets before the frost is out of the ground. Before the first of May many miles of city streets which are not now in good condition will be put in first-class shape. Citizens Benefited. It is a fact that we cannot overlook that there are hundreds of people in St. Paul who have hit upon the bright idea that now is the time to secure cinders for their street or alley. The idea itself is a perfectly good one and would prove of benefit to them immediately if it were not for the fact that too many people get the same idea at the same time. The Department of Public Works is naturally anxious to please every one that it can and gives as prompt attention to the requests as possible. We are today receiving requests for cinders which entail the work of two or three weeks. If all the cinder requests were compiled with that are now on hand the work would not be completed inside of three months. It must be borne in mind that the city does not pay for the cinders and that the supply of them is very limited. It must also be borne in mind that the city could not comply with all the requests for cinders even if the cinders were available. We have six trucks working eight hours per day laying cinders at this time. In addition to that, when more cinders are available, we hire one or two trucks, but we could not hire more than that owing to the lack of sufficient funds. Every year during April the office is besieged with requests for the repair of streets and alleys. Naturally the requests are doubled and more during an election year. Every request now in the office of the department will be taken care of and as soon as possible. If the average citizen of St. Paul could spend one day receiving requests for the repair of streets he would be convinced and very readily of the impossibility of complying with all of them at once. The Superintendent of Streets, who is properly called the Superintendent of Sanitation, is a very efficient man, who was appointed by Commissioner H. C. Wenzel. He was re-appointed by me when I took office, and I believe him to be the best man in St. Paul for the job. He has without question one of the hardest jobs in the City of St. Paul, and I believe he is handling it very well. He was here prior to my administration and informs me that the streets of St. Paul today are in better condition than they have been for several years, or since he has been here, at this time of the year.

SKIPTON P-O-L-I-T-I-C-A-L D-O-P-E Mayor Arthur E. Nelson, candidate for re-election, is one of the most progressive Mayors St. Paul ever had. Not only does he plan for a better and larger city, but by his personal efforts sees that his plans are executed properly. St. Paul has grown and prospered under his regime. We have better schools, better roads and streets and we have received a dollar's worth of honest service for every dollar of tax money expended. A vote for Arthur E. Nelson is a vote for a clean, honest and efficient government. Vote for him on May 6. The office of comptroller is a very important one and it is up to the voters of our group not to overlook the fact; no matter what plans the Mayor intends to put through, he can do but little without the co-operation of the comptroller. Mr. Erman Skipton, the present comptroller and candidate for re-election, has at all times been ready to co-operate with Mayor Nelson in his plans for a greater and larger city. Vote for Erman M. Skipton. Commissioner W. J. Peter, candidate for re-election, is another public official who has devoted his time to making St. Paul a city to be proud of. He has at all times been ready to make improvements when needed. Mr. W. J. Peter should be voted for by the voters of our group. Everybody knows and likes Larry Hodgson (Larry Ho) Ex-Mayor of St. Paul. He made good as Mayor and there is no doubt that he will make good as commissioner. Vote for him. Albert Wunderlich, former commissioner of education, is a candidate for commissioner. When Mr. Wunderlich was commissioner he fought against the segregating of colored pupils in the public schools. As it is by "men's deeds that we know them," don't forget Mr. Wunderlich on May 6. Finch, Van Slyck, Auditor Rece Finch, Van Slyck, McConville Auditor Receives Much Praise Mr. John H. Hickman, Sr., who recently retired as auditor for the corporation of Finch, Van Slyck & McConville after fifty years of service, was the recipient of many congratulations. Excerpts from some of the congratulations received are: Sorry I cannot be in St. Paul to join other members of the firm in thanking you for your fifty years of loyalty and service to the corporation. It is a quality of service of which we are proud and is an example to us all. Best wishes. Roger Shephard, President, Finch, Van Slyck & McConville. "While I am no longer connected with the corporation, I cannot let the opportunity pass without expressing to you my appreciation of the trusty work you did under me for so many years. You can always be depended upon to do your best." Elbert A. Young. "I have yet to hear one unkind word spoken of you." Geo. H. Hazzard. Telegram. Forum Meets at Pilgrim Sunday The Forum of the N. A. A. C. P. will meet on Sunday, April 27, at Pilgrim Chapel, Grotto and Central, at 4 P. M. The meeting will be in the form of an open forum, at which time every one will be given an opportunity to express himself on any matter. Mr. W. T. Francis will be the principal speaker. The choir from St. James' A. M. E. church will render the music. All solicitors during the drive are requested to make a report, either in part or in full. The D. Y. W. Y. K. club at their meeting on Wednesday night pledged $10.00 to the support of the association. In Knoxville, Tenn., the leading colored women have organized The Women's Mutual Improvement Club John H. McDonald, commissioner of public utilities, has conducted his office in a manner that needs no criticism. He has at all times been ready to assist in the necessary improvements and deserves the support of the colored voters in the coming election. Judge Conrad Olson, the present municipal judge, was appointed by Governor Preus and has made good, being fair and impartial in all of his decisions, regardless of nationality. Roy McDonald, assistant county attorney, was appointed by R. D. O'Brien in 1918 and was re-appointed by Harry Peterson in 1923. Mr. McDonald is a candidate for municipal judge. His public service has demonstrated that he is capable and efficient. When you go to the polls May 6, go with the intention of voting for the man who has the interest of all the citizens of St. Paul at heart and not one who is being ousted on the public to satisfy the personal ambitions of a few. The mud-slinging and whispering of personal calumny is only being used by some politicians to poison the mind of the credulous. A. E. JOHN H. HICKMAN "We extend to your our congratulations; and our prayer is that while not so actively engaged, in a material way, you may find time to be of greater service to God and humanity, because of the opportunity which now presents itself to you. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry. (Continued on page4) THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1924 Athens. Ohio. FOR COMPTROLLER KEEP SKIPTON AS OUR CITY'S BEST Comparison Between Two Candidates Shows Present Man Most Efficient. When a city reaches the population of St. Paul it becomes necessary to have at the head of its financial department a man capable of handling the affairs in an efficient manner. Erman M. Skipton, the present comptroller, has, by years of experience, become efficient in the handling of public affairs. This experience embodies twenty years of accounting, ten of which were with corporations and ten with the City of St. Paul as a municipal adviser. During the relationship of Mr. Skipton to the city the best financial status in history was established. News plans for the benefit of the public were inaugurated by Mr. Skipton because he saw the necessity of curtailing expenditures of the taxpayer's money. The curtailment has had its results the installation of the proper budget system for the City of St. Paul instead of the hithertofore expenditures for private use by those vested with fiscal responsibility. His Opponent. Opposing Mr. Skipton for controller is Wm. F. Scott. His prospectus embodies the following: "Born and reared in St. Paul. Has grade and high school education. University training in accountancy and two years at law. Eight years' experience in municipal affairs with Department of Public Utilities. Ex-service man. Enlisted May 6, 1917. Honorably discharged August 27, 1919. A member of D. A. V., St. Paul Chapter No. 2." Mr. Scott's best trump card seems to be his ex-service record and that he is a member of the disabled veterans. We console the benefits of the service rendered by the veterans, but this election for comptroller is a matter of efficiency and capability, not a service record. Mr. Scott does not say that he got his university training from a correspondencecourse Neither does he state how long it took him to acquire it. Two years at law cannot make a man sufficiently capable of having enough jurisprudence to handle the comptroller job. His eight years' experience in the Department of Public Utilities was not that of an executive. Now the voters are called upon to decide whether a man of no executive experience shall supplant a man of varied experience. Up to Voters. It is a matter for the voters to decide on May 6 whether Mr. Skipton, the efficient comptroller, or Mr. Scott, the novice, shall occupy one of the most important offices in the city government. To our very best opinion, Mr. Skipton is the logical candidate for office and deserves the support of our group. His past administration clearly demonstrates his efficiency in his particular vocation. Mr. Skipton seeks the support of the voters solely on the merits of his past administration. That administration is known by every citizen who has made an investigation of the record of city offices. Those who have not made a research of these activities will do well to analyze the fact before making a decision as to who they will vote for. There can be no successful administration unless those responsible are sufficiently capable of handling the situation in an advantageous manner. It has been the opinion of Mr. Skipton that has carried St. Paul through the most successful fiscal period of its history; so let's keep Mr. Skipton on the job as comptroller. Mrs. Lona Skinner gave a birthday party Friday afternoon in honor of her little son, Otis, Jr., at the home of Mrs. Burt McPheeters, 605 West Central avenue. Seventeen little children were present. Otis was the recipient of many beautiful presents. A delicious repast was served.

NELSON 13th Ward Civic Club Lays Plans At the last regular meeting of the Thirteenth Ward Civic club it was decided to set aside the second week in May for general clean-up week. All residents of the ward are requested to clean their premises in general. Beginning the first week after cleanup week, a contest for club members only, will start in which a prize will be given by the club to the person having the best kept yard. The contest will close September 15 and the first meeting in October a "Pep-fest" will be held and prizes awarded. Judges and further particulars will be announced later. Club meets first Monday in each month at Public Library, corner Fourth avenue south and 38th street, Minneapolis. Carl Wade, Sec. Anchor Hilyard Lodge No. 2, F. & A. M., of Minneapolis have organized a club of well known men active in their fraternal work for the purpose of establishing a building fund. They will give the public first class entertainment from time to time. The members of this club are Chester Johnson, chairman; Earl Comly, sec'y; W. J. Grimes, treasurer; Andrew Johnson, Thomas Stovall, Joseph Askin, Geo. Johnson, Russell Underwood, Clydie Allen, Harry Donaldson and Wm. R. Walker. The Pittsburg Council of Negro Women is one of that city's most active organizations. Minneapolis Women Marching Forward; Organize Home-Center No longer will the Negroes of Minneapolis have to reluctantly admit that aside from our churches we have not a single institution in this beautiful city of existing rare opportunities and abundant good will and fellowship that is functioning for the physical, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the people of our community. Some of our best women have come to the rescue and have organized and established The Colored Women's Home and Service Center, located at 253 15th avenue south, Minneapolis. It is undenominational in character, and is broad, unselfish and Christian enough in spirit and attitude, as not to be an institution for colored people only, any more than the Swedish hospital is solely for the Swedish people, but to administer to the needs of all races alike, whenever an opportunity is given. Christ was no respecter of persons; let us make him our exemplar in all things. The name of the home simply implies that it is ever to be an institution founded, owned and controlled by the colored women of Minneapolis, for the purpose of radiating service city-wide in its scope, assuming with other institutions of a similar nature some of the responsibilities of the responsibilities of the charitable and uplift work being done in this growing metropolis, of which there is such a great need. Their activities are to be focused, however, more directly on work among women and children of our own group, because it is but natural and right that charity should first begin at home. In other words, "to the Jew first then also to the Greek." If Local Girl Wins C.H.S.Laurels Announcement of the honor roll of students who will graduate from Central high school at the end of this semester was made Wednesday at the school assembly. Seventy-one of the graduating class were placed on the role as honor students. Miss Lucille Howell, 941 Rondo street, was among the list. She was the only race student of Central high school to be placed on the honorary list of the graduating class. On several occasions articles contributed by Miss Howell have been used by the C. H. S. paper. This distinction came as the result of her unusual ability as a writer. Her articles were printed following the elimination of various English students' work. Being placed on the honor roll at Central high school is a distinction every studious pupil is desirous of having. Out of the vast graduating class only seventy-one students made such high gradings to be placed. Miss Howell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Howell. The D. Y. W. Y. K. Club met with Mrs. James Murphy, 1354 Thomas street, Wednesday evening. The annual election of officers were as follows: Queen Johnson, Pres.; Mrs. D. Roper, Vice-Pres.; Florence Johnson, Sec.; Ida Mae, Murphy, Corres. Sec. After which a delicious repast was served. any individual or race first learns to respect and help itself, it will eventually receive the consideration due it from others. This is not the spirit to encourage prejudice or segregation as some fear it is and which has exerted a retarding influence upon our development and progress; but to the contrary it is just good common sense seeing facts as they actually exist and an effort to so improve ourselves and conditions that the word "Colored" or "Negro" may be a name of which all of our race may feel justly proud. Let us awaken to our best interests and so prepare ourselves to give to the world the best we have that the best may come back to us. The women who have signed their names below have thereby indicated their acceptance of such a program and creed, and may they ever continue marching onward and upward in that same direction, enlisting many in their noble cause. We, the undersigned colored women of Minneapolis, having seriously considered the urgent needs of women of our race, along lines pertaining to better housing conditions, employment, wholesome recreation and social conditions; in fact, along all lines that tend toward the spiritual, mental and physical betterment of our women everywhere, do hereby and now, pledge our loyal support to this Institution which has just started such work in our city, and is known as the "Colored Women's Home and Service Center," located at 253 15th avenue south. We realize that having interests in common along all such lines of uplift work, the duty of its promotion. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS GIVE SUPPORT TO NELSON AND KEEP THE BEST MAYOR Statistics Show Better Municipal Government in Regime of Administration. We wish to call the attention of our voters to the advisibility of supporting our present Mayor, Arthur E. Nelson, in his campaign for reelection. Our present Mayor is highly deserving of the favorable consideration of our group because he has stood for only such measures that meant fairness to all. His administration can pass the most rigid muster because his platform speeches were fulfilled after his election, which is more than we can say for some of his predecessors. Mayor Nelson has always stood for a greater St. Paul and has worked faithfully to secure that end. The city has been benefited by his regime, so let us keep him at the head of our municipal government and secure liberty, justice and equality for all citizens, regardless of race, color or creed. Tax Criticism. Critics of the city tax rate should bear in mind the facts when finding fault with the expenditures of public funds, namely, that within the last year fifteen miles of city streets have been paved, two and one-half miles of alleys have been paved, thirty miles of county roads have been hard surfaced, approximately fourteen miles of county roads have been permanently improved by grade revision and widening, seven miles of new county roads have been graded, four schools and additions have been built, six permanent buildings and six additions are under construction, eleven and one-half miles of sewer were built and fifteen miles of sewers are under construction. One permanent school, the Roosevelt school, has been completed this year. Those who believe in progress will concede that at least the money is being used in a worthy cause. Elect Nelson.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First in Service” THE RACE CUSTODIAN OF LAW A sure way for a Race man to lose ait is by accepting a position on the police force and seeing to it thht the law is respected by his fellowmen. Strange, but true, many imagine an officer, sworn in to protect the law, should excuse misdemeanor on the part of his own people because he belongs to the same race as themselves. If an arrest is made by an officer of the other group, it is perfectiy alright. But if under identical cireumstances a Race officer should make the same arrest, he is accused of “picking” at his own people. What are the duties of an officer if they are not to arrest vio- lators of the law? What respect have men for an officer, regard- less of Race, if he does not live up to the requirements of a man who upholds the statutes? Unless arrests are made when neces- sary the officer is accused of being inefficient. When arrests are made he is said to be “picking” at some one. We have on the city force one of the most efficient men in the Department of Public Safety. Because, recently, he found it neces- sary to make various arrests to aid in cleaning up the vice situa- tion, a committee of supposedly law-abiding citizens sought his removal from the police force. Their chief reason, truthfully, was that he arrested men of his own race. There is no condition so lamentable as narrow-mindedness, the outgrowth of ignorance. Our officers must make arrests of the criminal element of our group at such times and at such places as duty shall make it necessary. We cannot judiciously expect a Negro felon to go free because it is not the duty of an officer of his Race to place him under arrest. We cannot hope that crime may be sheltered just because it is committed in a Race neighborhood patrolled by a Race officer. It is our sincere desire that the underworld character may not find a rendezvous in this city. We will bitterly censure our offi- cers if they do not co-operate with the department of which they aré members to bring the undesirable element to justice. If it is the case that crime should be permitted to exist unmitigated, then what is the purpose of law? Shall citizens of the better class be made to suffer embarrassment on account of malicious and flagrant violation of law on the part of a few? Whence comes the theory that this should not concern our Race officers who are bet- ter able to ferret out these cesspools of vice than officers of the other group? “There is no consistent citizen who would not uphold any officer for doing his duty. Those who tacitly oppose law and order are those who interefere with the efficient work of an officer. If there are those who are incensed over being placed in custody by an officer of their race, let them ask if their acitvities are every reason why to promote the welfare of the community at large, the criminal-minded be incarcerated to the extent that his loss of freedom will prove a civic advantage. If we had no officers we would bewail the fact of non-recogni- tion; when we have them they do not just suit some of our fancies. If a Race officer fails to do his sworn duty the Department of Pub- lic Safety asks for his resignation. If he is efficient, some cowardly mortals of his own seeks to have him discharged. No peaceful and law-abiding citizen is “hampered” by the law; it is the civic liability who find it difficult to earn an honest living that offers contention (and sometimes secures outside sympathy) for being placed under arrest. The officer whose discharge was sought would be a worthy asset to any city. We are proud of his record and wish him more success. To the individuals who so generously offered their serv- ices to get him off the force, we will say—if you can't boost a good man, for humanity's sake don’t knock him. ST.

The audience was captivated by this youthful danseuse, who made her first appearance Tuesday night. Her steps were perfectly timed to the music.

Curtain rises at 8:30 P. M. Admission 50c. Don't fail to hear two of the leading characters in "The Last Loaf" in the persons of Mr. A. J. Todd as Mark Ashton and Mr. P. H. Henderson as Caleb Hanson. And if you fail to hear Louis White as Harry Hanson you will miss a treat. See how strong his love is for Lilly Ashton, how he goes to China for five years and comes home and claims her as his wife. The play would be unpopular if we failed to tell you of the leading character, Hate Ashton (Mark's wife) splendidly played by Mrs. Carrie Allop. Hear her conversation and see how strong her love binds her to husband and daughter. See how a wife's love can battle for the husband; a mother's love for the child. If you want a good, hearty laugh, come and hear Mr. L. C. Jackson, the stuttering butcher, who tries to express his love to Patty Jones. An interesting character is Mr. Huey McCarty, the high-toned Dick Bustle, a person who lets off his big words all the time and muddies things dreadfully. Hear him!

RELATES ASSOCIATION "Fifty years ago I was toiling in the wintry blast of a rigorous Minnesota winter, in a feeble manner laboring to offset the cost of my board and keep by assisting my mother who in her capacity as janitress, had charge of the building known as Miss Wheaton's Select School for Girls. Those simple duties consisted chiefly of sweeping, dusting, building fires, in short, anything in the line of cleaning the premises. Those indescribably cold days quickly passed and in the spring I began to search for work of a more lucrative promise. Prior to this time I had been in the employ of one Laysell B. Waif, a seedsman whose store was on E. Third street, No. 100. The second day of April, while sauntering down Third street, approaching Robert street, I entered the jobbing house of Auerbach, Finch & Scheffer, composed of the following members of the firm: Maurice Auerbach, a German of Jewish ancestry, thoroughly Americanized; George R. Finch, a robust specimen of American manhood, big, commanding, presence and frank blue eyes, and Chas, Scheffer, a versatile German. I had known of them a year or more, having been in and out their store obtaining dry goods for my employer, L. B. Wait. Having an acquaintance with Mr. C. J. McConville, I sought him out, asking my chances for employment. I knew the spring season was far advanced and my chances were slim. He said, however, "we will see Mr. Auerbach." That gentleman corroborated the statement of Mr. McConville. Turning to leave, the cashier, Mr. Albert H. Merrick, spoke up and said, "that is Johnnie Hickman—do you not remember him?" "Oh, yes, my boy, come Friday and I will put you to work," said Mr. Auerbach. Thereupon, Friday, April 4, 1874, I began service as door boy. Two months later was promoted to the office as office boy. The business volume was small those days and I passed rapidly. File clerk, city collector, Eastern bookkeeper, then to the entry room as entry clerk. In 1883 I came, back to the office as P. & L. clerk until the end of 1886, when again went back to the entry room—billing, checking and extending. For a period of six months was in charge. Receives Promotion. This entry department service covered a period extending from 1886 to 1909, except a short time spent in our retail department of carpets and draperies as cashier. In 1909, during an illness, Mr. McConville transferred me to the profit and loss department as an assistant to E. C. Bell. Mr. Bell passed into the great beyond in 1910 and I received the appointment as his successor. From 1911 to the present time our corporation has experienced an unbroken record of unprecedented prosperity—a forward movement has placed it in the lead of the commercial activities of the Northwest. My period of service covers the following changes: Stop 10c Stomach Distress Send for Sto-li-gal We want to prove to you how quickly Sto-il-gal puts a stop to stomach suffering.
