LEGISLATION REGARDING CHILD LABOR HELD VITAL IMPORTANT TO PHYSICAL, MENTAL WELFARE MISSION. Historical Society Bain Historical Bldg. Saint Paul, Minnesota Northern States Credited With Maintaining Ninety Per Cent of Observance to Laws as Provided by Statutes— South Has Eleven-hour Day. Legislation whereby child labor shall be regulated is one of the gravest necessities which has ever confronted America's Negro population; for the future welfare of its children and their physical and mental condition, upon reaching maturity, will largely determine the type of citizenship which is to carry on the unfinished business of the present generation. A glimpse of the work status of Negro children in the United States may be had in the following figures and percentages: Of the 12,502,582 children in the United States, 10 to 15 years of age, of whom 1,060,858, or 8.5 per cent, are engaged in gainful occupations, 1,450,996 of the total are Negro children of that age span, of whom 317,231, or 21.9 per cent, or more than two and one-half times the total per cent, are gainfully employed in American labor pursuits. Of this working group of 317,231, Negro boys constitute 191,877, or 26.7 per cent of their total, while Negro girls constitute 125,354, or 17.1 per cent of their total. In comparison with other racial groups whose children are contributing to the output of American labor, the above percentages are astonishingly high. A stretch of the age span two more years makes a working group of Negro boys and girls totaling 541,348, of whom 405,570 are engaged in agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry pursuits; 44,198 in the manufacturing and mechanical industries; 10,855 in transportation occupations; 57,644 in domestic and personal service; 7,972 in clerical occupations, and the remainder in miscellaneous occupations.

Political history shows that practically all federal legislation for the benefit of women and children has been enacted by Republican Congresses; and that the bulk of opposition to such legislation has come, just as it is now, from the Democratic "Solid South." It is interesting, though distressing, in this connection, to note that while child labor is confined to no section of the country, it is at its worst in the solid Democratic Southern States. In Tennessee, 17 per cent of the total child population is employed contrary to the standards set by the government regulating child labor; in Arkansas, 19 per cent; in Georgia, 21 per cent; in Alabama and South Carolina, 24 per cent; in Mississippi, 26 per cent. In the Northern States the percentage is much lower, and in the Pacific Coast States only 3 per cent of the total child population is employed in what is classified as gainful labor. Thirty states conform to the federal standard of maximum hours for the employment of children eight hours per day. Of these thirty, only three are southern Democratic states. One southern state, North Carolina, permits children to be worked eleven hours a day, and one southern state, Georgia, has no limitation. Education, recreation, health supervision and other attentions are needed, not in any particular section of the country, but everywhere; and with a heavy population of Negro children busily at work in farm pursuits of the Solid South, which has been so derelict in its protection of Negro children, the duty is plain to see that at the polls and elsewhere full co-operation is given to the Republican party and its program, if it is ever to be hoped that the children of today may be the REAL MEN AND WOMEN OF TOMORROW. Excluded Labor Is Klan Ideal "Every state, city and town where the colored man cannot be a fireman or cannot get on the police force and cannot become a motorman on a trolley car, I feel, is co-operating with ideals of the Ku Klux Klan." This remark by a Race editor is true. If it is wrong for the Klan to discriminate against and wage war upon Catholics, Jews and Negroes; if it is wrong for the Klan to endeavor to eliminate Catholics from political positions, is it not equally wrong for whites to discriminate against colored and to keep them from positions which are supported by the direct taxation of all? The colored pay taxes. By what right then are they excluded from public works? --- BULLETIN-APPEAL Farmer-Labor Party Seek to Nominate Davis for Governor Tom Davis, Farmer-Labor candidate for governor, was born in 1877 at Judson, Blue Earth County, Minnesota. His parents were of Welsh descent and farmers. He spent his boyhood on a farm at Tracy, Minnesota; attended country school; graduated at the high school at Marshall, Minnesota, in 1894, and then attended Macalester College, St. Paul. Tom Davis was married in 1906 to Mabel Emma Johnson of Chetek, Wisconsin. He has two daughters, Esther Mabel and Donna Mae, both in school. He was admitted to the bar in 1901, and was elected County Attorney of Lyon County in 1902 and served one term; he was Mayor of Marshall in 1910-1911-1912-1913, and in 1917 was elected a member of the Minnesota Legislature from Lyon County. In the Legislature. His record in the Legislature is one of distinguished service to the people. He was the joint author of the Tonnage Tax Bill and led the fight to tax the rich iron ore bodies of this state. According to the testimony of A. C. Welch and other farmer and labor representatives serving in the legislature at that time, Tom Davis favored and spoke for every measure proposed by both the Farmer and Labor group in that body. When the Non-partisan League formulated its program and entered the political primaries of Minnesota, Tom Davis actively endorsed the League and became one of its supporters. BABY CONTEST FEATURED THURSDAY AT UNION HALL Thursday evening, Union Hall was the scene of the Popular Baby Contest sponsored by the City Federation for the benefit of the N. A. A. C. P. funds. The baby presented by the Sunshine Charity and Art Club, little Miss Edress Few, captured the first prize, $5.00 in gold, by bringing in the largest amount of money, $42.15. The second prize, a $2.50 gold-piece, went to little Miss Vesta Gains, a well known favorite, who made such a hit when she appeared as the bride in the Tom Thumb Wedding at St. James' church. She was presented by Mrs. R. F. Wilson, 697 St. Anthony avenue, who brought in a total of $27.50. Miss Vivian Crawford, expert stenographer, formerly employed in the Physician and Surgeons' building and court house, Minneapolis; also with the Northwestern Bulletin in St. Paul, left for Nashville, Tenn., Tuesday evening. Miss Crawford will reside with her father, Dr. J. P. Crawford, a prominent physician in that city. THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1924 1863 1924 The diminutive William Crooks, first locomotive ever run on the Great Northern Railway, has come back into its own again. Under its own steam, it is starting Monday evening from the Twin Cities for a long tour of the Pacific Northwest, pulling an antiquated combination coach and old No. 9, the original Pullman sleeping car. A crew of veteran railroaders, dressed in the uniforms of 1863, man the toy-like train. And along with it travels one of the Great Northern's ten new Oriental Limited trains. The diner is particularly attractive. Snowy linen, beautiful silver service and cut flowers on the tables were J. In the campaign of 1918, Tom Davis was chosen by the Farmer-Labor party as its candidate for Attorney General. He made the campaign with Dave Evans, the nominee for governor, and Fred Tilquist, the candidate for Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner. This campaign marks the historic beginning of the now great Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota. 'Alabama' Flees His'Love Nest Mr. Sears, 700 Sixth avenue north, did not go out on his run Thursday morning as expected, but returned home and found his wife, Mrs. Esther Sears, entertaining a young Sheik known as "Alabama." During the argument that followed Mr. Sears secured a nice blue steel police special, but Alabama having business elsewhere, left immediately, touching the two flights of stairs between him and the street but twice, top and bottom. Sears chased him down Lyndale avenue and secured the services of Officer Jones to help him round up the fugitive, both of them were too slow, Alabama clearing a six-foot fence and leaving his pursuers far in the rear, was seen no more. Mr. Sears then returned home and administered a beating to his erring wife, shortly after which she drank carbolic acid, which resulted in her death at the Minnesota General hospital late Thursday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Hood, 674 St. Anthony avenue, are motoring in their new Ford sedan. sufficient to urge one to dine whether hungry or not. Beautiful bracket lights with parchment shades daintily decorated, created a home-like atmosphere. Diners and Pullman sleeper are furnished in a restful color scheme of olive green. So refreshing and restful to the traveler, quite a contrast to the reds and vivid greens of former days. Drawing rooms and compartments are in a shade of sapphire blue upholstery. The ladies' dressing salon and lounging salon are the last word in comfort. Chairs are now provided at the dressing tables, where mi-lady ANNUAL SERVICE OF THE PULLMAN PORTERS IS HELD The third annual Thanksgiving and Memorial Services of the local lodge No. 3, Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of Americs, was held at Memorial Baptist church, Rice street and Fuller avenue, at 2 P. M. last Sunday. The local meeting was a part of the services held throughout the United States following a decree issued by Perry Parker, grand chairman of the association, naming Sunday, May 18, as the day for the annual observance. One of the most interesting programs in the history of the local lodge was enjoyed by not only the members but many friends of the association, who assembled for the grand event. The program was pleasing in that the variations were unusually complete. An address, "Aim and Object of the Association," was given by Mr. A. W. Jordan, chairman of Local 3. Other features were the Pullman quartette, addresses by Mr. C. Ross, Supt. E. R. Neal and Asst. Supt. C. C. Healy. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. C. B. Burton of Memorial Baptist church. Mr. J. J. Wilson was master of ceremonies, while Mr. C. De Quence Jordan directed the music. The local lodge made a very creditable showing in exemplifying the work of their association. Every notable feature was given prominence which proved the men are not only members of a great organization of railroad fame but thinkers who contribute much to the race and the nation. Tennis Club Gets Court Location The Twin City Tennis club, recently organized, has secured the field known as the Hollow at the corner of St. Anthony and Kent streets, for the use of the club members during the present season. Mr. Frederick D. McCracken, realtor, was instrumental in securing this beautiful and spacious field. Construction of the courts will begin at once and are expected to be in condition by the 1st of June. Dr. J. Walton Crump, president of the Twin City Tennis club, announced that entries for the Elimination contest in the singles and doubles events will be received until June 30. The winner of the men's singles will be given a beautiful silver trophy and nominated for the national tournament to be held in Baltimore in August. Cups will also be awarded to the winners of the ladies' singles and to doubles winners. Applications for membership will close June 10, 1924. Houghton Gets Life Sentence In the Stillwater Penitentiary can arrange her coiffure. The ladies' Iounge also furnishes the service of a manicurist and ladies' maid, who must be graduates from the Pullman school in Chicago, whose morale must also be of the very highest, refined and cultured. Both Misses McDonald and Pope proved to be of this type, former school teachers, who longed for change of environment and found this work to offer many advantages in the study of human nature, etc. Mr. W. A. Knowles, veteran Pullman porter of over fifty years' service, was with the 1861 special train. Roy P. Houghton, 23, was found guilty of second degree murder Wednesday by a jury in district court. He was immediately sentenced to life imprisonment. The jury reached its verdict at 10:20 Wednesday morning, and the verdict was read in court at 10:32 A. M. Houghton was charged with the murder of Mrs. G. Mogol the night of March 28. The courtroom was filled with people who flocked in when it became known that the jury was about to report. Appeal Stay Denied. George W. Hamilton, attorney for Houghton, asked for a stay of sentence for 30 days in order to prepare an appeal, but Judge O. B. Lewis refused this request. Hamilton demanded a poll of the jury, but on this each juror answered that it was his true verdict. The jury, in returning its verdict, found that Houghton was not guilty of murder in the first degree, as was charged in the indictment. The penalty for the two crimes is the samp, up to life imprisonment, but the first Forum Indorses Race Candidate For Legislature At the regular meeting of the Sunday Forum, Sunday, May 18, Chas. Sumner Smith offered a resolution indorsing Mrs. Mayme Donovan, candidate for the legislature, from the 35th district, a member of the Forum. Minneapolis, Minn., May 18, 1924. A resolution: To officers and members of the Minneapolis Sunday Forum. Whereas, One of the members of our racial group and an active member of this organization has announced and is conducting a campaign for member of the state legislature from the 35th legislative district, in this city, and Whereas, It is the duty and privilege of this organization to give some expression relative to such matters effecting the welfare of our group in community affairs. Be it resolved, That the Minneapolis Sunday Forum go on record in endorsement of the candidacy of Mayme Donovan for the legislature, and give her its moral support in her effort, which is an advanced step towards racial progress that deserves the earnest consideration of our people in particular. Be it further resolved, That a copy of said resolution be engrossed on the records of the Minneapolis Sunday Forum—a copy be sent to the Negro Press and a copy presented to Mrs. Donovan.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SAYS NECRO FACES THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES IN HIS HISTORY Restricted Immigration Seen as Economic Boon When Skilled Workers Are Given Employment—Co-operative Methods Are Being Well Applied. Recently Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, when asked to prepare an article of some 500 words upon the theme, "The Negro Faces 1924," remarked that he was glad to write from his vantage point at Howard University, where beat all the tides of racial life in America. He wrote as follows: "The Negro faces 1924 with a new racial consciousness. His history of buried centuries is being written. A great history it is. Reasons for the long night of racial captivity are clearly appearing. They are the same reasons which have brought on the captivity of every race in history. Now the Negro thanks God that his renaissance appears. He is determined to consolidate his powers, mass his strengths and overcome his difficulties by a racial worth that will win world recognition because it contributes to world betterment. Just, in science; Hayes, in music; Carver, in agriculture; Haynes, in social betterment—these men and countless others of the Race are contributing largely to the sum total of human good. ```markdown ``` Progress Seen. "The Negro faces 1924 with the improved opportunities for national and even international revelations of inherent capabilities. Prejudice and ignorance of history have fettered most white thinkers for hundreds of years. They have not allowed their thinking to include any possible contributions from the Negro. The Negro Race is shattering that ignorance, degree murder charges premeditation. Jury Instructed. Houghton, before imposition of sentence, said that he was born in Chicago, and that he worked in various packing plants there until 1917, when he came to St. Paul. He never before was arrested, he said. He admitted using liquor. The murder of Mrs. Mogol took place during a snowstorm, in an alley near St. Albans street and Iglehart avenue. Leo Mogol, 10-year-old son of the woman, was with her, and ran screaming from the alley as his mother was killed. Houghton was indicted for the crime April 16, and went to trial May 13, eight days ago. The jury went out at 4:10 P. M. Tuesday, and after deliberating all night, at 9:30 Wednesday morning asked for further instructions on the difference between first, second and third degree murder, and the penalties. Judge Lewis gave these instructions, and an hour later the verdict was in the hands of the court. PERMANENT OFFICERS ARE ELECTED IN AUXILIARY Leile Lawrence Post Auxiliary was granted a permanent charter and at their last regular meeting the following officers were elected: Miss Jeska Oden, president; Mrs. Elmer Gilbreath, vice-president; Mrs. Geo. Hamilton, secretary; Mrs. Jessie Brown, second unit secretary; Mrs. Ruth Mitchell, treasurer. Serving on the various committees are Mrs. Ruth Grice, chairman of the ways and means; Mrs. Blanche Lee, chairman of membership; Mrs. Lelia Mundell, chairman of Americanization; Mrs. Elmer Gilbreath, chairman of ways and means, fourth district. These ladies are planning an elaborate program for the entertainment of the buddies who will attend the national convention, which meets here in September. HOTEL HOWELL IS SOLD TO LOCAL INTEREST Mr. Owen Howell this week sold the Howell Hotel, located at Mackubin and Rondo streets, to Jay M. Hall. The hotel recently was opened by W. H. Reams, after being remodeled into one of the best hostelries of our group in the Northwest, by Mr. Howell. No change in the management has been announced by the new owner of the property, and it is expected that the plan inaugurated by Mr. Howell will be continued. Mrs. Sade Wagner of Galesburg, Ill., was called to the city on account of the serious illness of her aunt, Mrs. J. R. Wilson, who died last Thursday. PRICE: FIVE CENTS not by producing a few exceptional men and women, but by revealing the fact that the Race as a whole has those inherent powers which feed civilization. Howard University, rated in the highest class of American universities and hence accepted as such in England and on the continent, draws to herself this year over 2,500 young men and women of the race who everywhere demonstrate their ability in science, art, literature — in short, in all the trades and professions. Race in Economics. "The fact of restricted immigration opens doors in the trades hitherto closed. Of course, only worthy achievement can keep those doors open. Negroes are crowding into the ranks of the skilled workers. If the Negro does the work better than one of another race, then the position is his. If he fails, he loses his place and the door closes. "A thoughtful review of the last ten years must reveal to an unprejudiced mind the vast increments of gain to this race. Wrongs there are, injustices abound and human prejudices are still blighting; but the Race steadily advances to a future which will outrival those great centuries of the long past. Haa Greater Vision. "The Negro faces 1924 with the largest co-operative agencies. That old phase, 'A friend of the Negro,' is dead. The Negro does not want a friend any more than does the white man. All he wants is fair field and no favors. As a Race he is a long way from that; yet there are more agencies at work demanding it for him than ever before. Those agencies are not advertised as they used to be, but they are greater and stronger than ever. "Be as discouraged as our pessimism or chronic indigestion disposes, yet the fact remains that a new air is sweeping through the world and a new brotherhood is coming up the years to meet us. 'All ye are brthren' is the word of God. Poetry translates it, 'A man's a man for a that.' "Ability, training, character and good old New England horse sense is bringing on the fulfillment." Frat Holds'Go To School' Meet Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity of the University of Minnesota will hold its annual Go to High School, Go to College campaign this year on Sunday, May 25, at 8 P. M. at Pilgrim Baptist church, corner Cedar and Summit avenue. The purpose of the campaign, as you know, is to arouse the ambition of our people for the education and training of our boys and girls. The campaign is being carried on this year throughout the United States by fifty chapters of the fraternity. From Minnesota to Alabama and from New York to California men in all walks of life are co-operating. The campaign terminates with an essay contest. The winner will be given $25 on tuition upon his or her entering any college or university in this state. The winfall of last year's contest is now registered in the University of Minnesota.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First in Service” THE TOLL OF THOUGHTLESSNESS “I am of all men most miserable,” said one of the apostles on acertain occasion. Such must be the opinion of many of our col- lege graduates when they enter their professional career. Such must be the feeling of our men in commercial activities when es- tablishments, primarily begun for the convenience of their own, must be closed from lack of patronage. To the college man it must make him wonder why he spent so much time and money in prep- aration for his career in life. The man who possibly has put his. life’s savings into a business and depending on Race patronage | must wonder if it is worth while when he is forced into bankruptcy by his creditors because his own failed to give him their support. We encourage youths to go to school; then show the world what they can do. On their graduation day as they stand with “eap and gown” and diploma in hand, we tell them what they mean to the Race and what we expect of them. Jubilant with ambition, an office is opened. We visit the office, express our congratulations, then out into the street—the graduate is forgotten. Day in and day out, the graduate of yesterday with honors—today the pro- fessional man—sits and wonders where his fond encouragers are. Why they do not give him the chance to earn a living from the fruits of his stay: so diligently made. Why the rank and file pass his door tu give their business to the man who neither wants it or needs it. In human disgust the graduate closes his offices, places his diploma, face down, into his trunk, dons a white coat—a college bred waiter—the victim of racial neglect. Another type of busi- ness man is the one who laments the discrimination against his people and plans to avenge their insult by giving the same service gotten in any first-class place. He, too, is complimented, but lack of patronage soon begins grawing at the vital element of his busi- ness and he soon finds himself financially embarrassed and closes his establishment in disgust. Recently a man who failed because of non-patronage by his group was asked why he was disgusted. He said, “It’s no use to open a first-class place for us. All we want is a plank across two barrels in some old barn where we can eat stew, drink moonshine aad raise h—I in general.” It is regrettable that any man should think thusly, but have not his own given him the right to such an opinion? Do we appreciate our business and professional men enough to give them a chance when they deliver the goods as other men? There must be a revolution in thinking if we expect our own to prepare themselves to mark time with men of the other grou There must be a consciousness of duty we owe to those who hep make us a Race of men instead of ““Hewers of wood and drawers of water.” That consciousness must be the same enthusiasm shown during the business life of our college graduate as displayed on their Fists when fond friends make him an idol for a day. It is much better that he be a man, pppreciated for his worth, dur- ing his struggle to maintain himself, than be an idol for a day only to find himself discarded while we bestow our honors upon a new graduate. ‘ True, these are days of the survival-of the fittest; the fittest are those who are prepared and backed by those who will profit most by years of strenuous study gone through by the one least’ supported, yet expected to be a beacon light in the community. “CUSSING” THE EDITOR the hardest jobs known is having to edit a newspape1 isgruntled clientele.

One of the hardest jobs known is having to edit a newspaper serving a disgruntled clientele. The average newspaper has at. least 4,000 persons to please every week. Pleasing that many is physically impossible, no matter how hard the effort may be. Nat- urally, every article is not going to suit the fancy of each reader; it is not expected to. Therefore, with a multiplicity of opinions to satisfy every week, the editor must rack his brain to find a variety of news matter to appease the largest number of his clientele. Some just love scandal! Others like for you to say nice, pretty things about every one. If their friends are sent to jail for thirty days they desire the editor to say he has gone to the country ona vacation. A different party is chiefly interested in theatrical items, another sport. The debutante, snappy love stories. The small boy, blood and thunder in the Wild West. Some want lots of club news, others church activities. Then there is the political Sepia who seeks party information while another wants just a bit of fun. ‘There are numerous different kinds of desires to be met by the editor; these are only a few. The most inconsistent of this varied group is the one who - wants his kind of news to be in dominant position or else to him the paper does not contain any news and he voices his sentiment by telling all his friends about the faults of the paper he takes and what he would do if he owned the paper. Strange, but true, those least qualified to function in any capecity to an advantageous de- gree, are always ready to censure what the other fellow does. No matter what is accomplished, “it’s all wrong” to many of us. If an article is sent to the editor and it doesn’t happen to get in that week’s issue there are injured feelings. No matter how limited the space may be, there are some who wonder why Mr. Brown gets his article in and they don’t. The truth may be that Mr. Brown sent his article in on Tuesday when theirs arrives on Thursday, too late for publication. Again we would like to remind some of our severe critics that there is but one front page to a newspaper and when it is filled the rest of the front page news must go elsewhere. It is very hard to explain why some articles are paid matter when the subscriber is unwilling to understand. It costs a great deal to print a paper and when an article is benefi- cial to an individual it should be worth something to him; yet poring tate facts, the article, according to the opinions of some, should be treated as “News.” News is of common interest to all meres fron a standpoint of information.

Very few housewives were at home last week; most of them were in court, helping the jury decide the Houghton case. The open air Dodge is getting to be popular. You don't have to worry about either doors or windows, and unless it falls apart, you're ridin' right on. Everybody must go to the 10 Cent store to have their business and calling cards made. How do we know? From the volume of business that we didn't get. St. Anthony avenue is getting popular; all the Sheiks and Shebas stage a 9 o'clock promenade. Wait until the mothers find it out. A good time was had by all at the Goodfellows' dance, but one poor old Sheik got his dates mixed. It's not what she said, but what she did, that makes his eye look blue. Maybe she did smile at you, but you really should be careful when you make a date on the Rondo car. Hubby may not be able to see very well, but he's got two good ears. Doxology.

BAPTISTS BEGIN A DRIVE TO RAISE $25,000 IN CASH Purpose of Fund Is to Complete Payment on Theological Seminary. Nashville, Tenn. — Six definite plans for raising the $25,000 necessary to make the final payment on the National Baptist Theological and Missionary Training seminary, located in this city, were made by Dr. John E. Wood of Danville, Ky., president of the National Baptist convention, who was in this city on Monday in conference with Dr. David E. Ever of Denver, Colo., and local ministers and pastors, who have been supporting the school. Dr. Woods stated in his conference with Dr. Ever that the property valued at more than $150,000 was the first and only national theological and missionary training seminary to which members of our Race of the United States held title and which Delinquent Subscribers! Delinquent Subscribers! Do you realize that your unpaid subscription works as a great detriment toward the financial success of your paper? We are sure you do not or else you would have sent in your money to cover the obligation. Many instances are where you repeatedly request our representative to "Call later." Calling later necessitates an expense of both time and money; when it's done several times the profit of your subscription is used in trying to collect it. It requires finance in our business just as any other kind. You get value received for the price paid and there is no reason, either legal or ethical, why you should not pay for your subscription. You demand plenty of news; we meet your demand by giving our best; you fail to help us continue when you do not pay your subscription when due. Unless you pay up we will not only be forced to discontinue your paper but place your account in the hands of a collection agency. This we do not want to do, still you must not expect your paper to serve without pay. would be owned, controlled and operated by them. Five other definite phases of work to be accomplished by the National Baptist convention, at its Chicago session, were outlined at the conference. They are to be further enlarged at the executive board meeting, which is to be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, June 11 to 16, at the annual Sunday school congress. Three hundred Nashville citizens will leave on a special train for the convention in Chicago in September, where final payment will be made. SENT TO "WORKS" FOR STEALING GAS FOR HOME Robert Jackson, 550 Seventh avenue north, Minneapolis, discovered that the Gas company expects to be paid at least once in awhile, when he was arraigned in municipal court Tuesday. Jackson was found guilty of heating and lighting his home with gas, unregistered by a meter, and was sentenced to the workhouse "until he could realize the necessity of honestly dealing with public utilities." This realization will likely come in time to have a meter installed. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO SEEK OFFICES AGAIN To Experiment at This Time Will Prove Disastrous to Best A voluntary committee has been organized to assist in the election of the present supreme court justices. This committee came into being at a meeting attended by volunteers from every section of the state. The committee is entirely non-partisan and non-political. It does not agree with those who may desire to drag the supreme court into partisan politics or make its members subject to a game of political football. A number of candidates have filed for the chief justiceship and the associate justiceships against the filings of the three present justices—Chief Justice Samuel B. Wilson and Associate Justices Andrew Holt and Royal A. Stone. The present justices above named are able and tried, thoroughly human and well fitted by education, training and experience to carry out the duties of their office, and the good service that they have rendered to the entire state entitles them to be returned to their places on the supreme bench. Efficiency First. It is a very dangerous precedent to involve our supreme court judges in partisan politics. Is it not better to establish as the fundamental principle of our government for all times that when an able judge is once placed upon the bench it becomes the duty of all good citizens to see that he is continued there, for to experiment with our supreme court is dangerous and destructive of good government. While a judge is dependent upon public favor for his retention in office, I am sure you will agree with me when I say that: "No one who is fit to be a judge by training and experience will seek to gain or retain his office as a judge by employing the arts of the practical politician." In the last resort there is no security for the liberties of a people of for industry or property unless men are ruled by law or reason and followed by a course shaped by something more to be trusted than passion and prejudice." The supreme court is, therefore, the best safeguard of liberty and the bulwark of the economic and social life of the state. --- THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL Entertainment of Merit Given by Children Under Direction of Chas.
