Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

Mathews ConfersWithWest District Editors VOLUME III, NO. 25 IMPORTANT PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE APPOMATTOX CLUB A dinner conference of the Editors of the Western district was called by General Organizer Wm. C. Mathews at the Appomatox Club in Chicago, on Tuesday evening, Sept. 30, in the interest of the Coolidge Campaign. Representatives of more than twenty-five of the leading western race journals were in attendance as well as many prominent citizens of Chicago. W. T. Francis, Chairman of the Western district who presided, congratulated chairman Butler on the selection of Wm. C. Mathews to head the work of the colored division of the Republican campaign, and commended the newspapers for their united support thus far. "The Negro Press," hestated, "is by far the most potent factor in the progress of the race, having its hands on the pulse of the more than 12,000,000 souls." Mr. Mathews, whose introduction was greeted with cheers, expressed deep gratification at the response of the Press to his call for support. He referred in glowing terms to the phenomenal progress in Negro journalism during the past seven years, and appealed for continued loyalty to Calvin Coolidge and the Republican party. "If you knew the man as I do," he said, "you would realize that he stands FOUR-SQUARE on the platform of economic and political justice for all men. You need have no doubt in your minds as to what Coolidge's policy will be toward the Negro. Let "We have faith in Coolidge" be our battle cry. After strong expressions by the editors a resolution crystallizing the sentiment of the conference declared "The Negro press of the Western district stands unequivocally behind Wm. C. Mathews and in support of the Candidacy of Calvin W. Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes." Following the conference of Editors Tuesday evening at the offices of Messrs. Mathews and Francis, Wrigley Building, Chicago, the newspaper men discussed local conditions. Helpful suggestions were elicited, and the scribes returned to their homes with renewed inspiration to "Keep cool with Coolidge." McCRACKEN APPOINTED ON ADVISORY COMMITTE Hon. Wm. T. Francis, Chairman of the Colored Division of the National Republican Committee, announces the appointment of Fred D. McCracken as a member of the Advisory Committee to represent Minnesota. Mr. McCracken is probably one of the best informed man in the northwest on national as well as state politics and will be able to render valuable service to the committee. Special to the Bulletin-Appeal Chicago, Sept. 21—Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Director of Colored Women's Activities, Republican National Committee, and Honorary President, N. A. C. W., addressed a large audience at the Young People's Lyceum of Grace Presbyterian church today on "Education." Miss Eloise Lowe, graduate pianiste, Nashville, Tenn., received generous applause. Her technique was brilliant and shading satisfying, proclaiming her an artist, of unusual merit. Miss Lowe is the niece of Mrs. Marshall Barksdale of St. Paul, Minn. Committee of management of Central avenue Branch of the Committee on Colored Work of the Y. W. C. A. extend their congratulations and best wishes to Rev. and Mrs. King, of Camphor, M. E. church and hope they may have a long period of useful service in our community. The Self Culture Club will meet with Mrs. Mary Wilson, 697 St. Anthony avenue, on next Wednesday afternoon. Rev. H. L. P. Jones was the guest of the H. L. P. Jones club Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Anna B. Harris. BULLETIN-APPEAL Former Editor Praises Paper Minneapolis, Minn., 9-27-'24. Mr. Owen Howell, 339 Wabasha St. St. Paul, Minn. My dear Sir: On my arrival in the city I found a copy of the N. W. Bulletin-Appeal—the first since the publication has been re-established. There are few events in my life that I have met with greater joy than to see a copy of the Bulletin-Appeal and to know the Twin Cities is again to have its live Race paper. A good newspaper is a necessary adjunct to any community, and such a progressive section as the northwest could ill afford to be without the Bulletin-Appeal. This paper has been the hallmark of journalism in this section since its inception and its continuation is a blessing to the Race. Like many other big things the Bulletin-Apeal's value was not wholly realized until its publication was suspended, but being brought to life again by your profound interest in the welfare of people, it should grow to be a great newspaper. The public must support the effort you are making if we are to have a live medium in this section. Those who so greatly encouraged you to start the Bulletin-Apeal, should rally to its support, in a financial as well as a moral way, since it requires finance as well as good will. Your worth in the community shall not be soon forgotten, as you have given to the northwest the greatest newspaper in its history. Permit me to congratulate you upon the reestablishment of the Bulletin-Apeal, and wish for you the greatest possible success. Migration North Chiejly Caused By Economics Writing in Current History Magazine for September. Abram L. Harris, Jr., instructor in West Virginia Collegiate Institute, contends that social causes have been overemphasized and economic causes ignored in accounting for the northward migration of Negroes. Mr. Harris contends that the migration is part of the drift from the country into cities, brought about machine industry and accelerated by boll weevil and crop failures. The movement must not be considered as exclusively racial, he says, since "what we are prone to isolate as being essentially a Negro movement is merely a part of a greater shift in that part of the American population which thinks its fortunes lie in some State other than that of nativity or in the land of manufacturing enterprise." SO. ST. PAUL, TAILOR CHANGES LOCATION Mr. M. Suzar, well known tailor formerly located in South St. Paul, wishes to announce to his patrons and friends that he is now in charge of the Scotch Woolen Branch, at 481 St. Peter St., St. Paul.

We trust that our readers and friends who come in contact with any such person will consider the source from whence the base propaganda comes and act accordingly. THE NORTHWESTERN ST.

Bagnall, Director of Branches, has been sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to help colored citizens of Dayton, Ohio, in their fight against segregation of colored children in school. In the course of the fight, begun by the Parents' Protective Association, and now participated in by the local and National N. A. A. C. P., nearly 200 colored students absented themselves from school. Mr. Bagnall telegraphs the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. that he has addressed crowded and enthusiastic mass meetings in Dayton, and that colored people are determined there shall be no compromise on the issue of segregation. More than $450 has already been given in defense funds. Mr. Bagnall further reports that a court hearing on the case has been postponed by the Judge until later and that the outlook is favorable. St.James Hears Its New Pastor The highest temperature in St. Paul Sunday was probably registered at St. James A. M. E. Church—about 105 fever heat of anticipation, because of the presence of the new pastor, Rev Wm. H. Griffin, formerly of Des Moines, Iowa. Rev. Griffin comes with the special injunction from Bishop Gaines that a new church be built. He comes with a reputation as a money gatherer. He paid off $20,000 of the Des Moines debt in four years; and in the nine years prior to that built and paid for a large church at Hyde Park. But these are not his greatest achievements. After Sunday morning's sermon there was an experience of "Old Time Religion." There were twelve additions to the church. Some were "back sliders" of many years standing; some came on confession of faith; some were the faithful moving from another locality to a new church home. The text was found in 1 Cor. 10:30: "Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved." "A Christian" he said, "should act from the high principle of good will and reflect the graces of Jesus Christ. He should learn to differ from others in a Christ-like manner; the attitude toward what is disliked should be that of a "friendly enemy." It was a particularly tense moment when he said, "The newspapers are designed to tell us the news of the world; business men tell us of the world's business; scientists tell us of the natural laws that control the world; lawyers are here to tell us of our civil laws; doctors undertake the task of healing our bodily ills. There is some well defined agency to tell us of all of the affairs pertaining to this world, but it is the particular task of the Christian to call attention to the redemptive power of the (Continued on Page 4) SOCIALIST RULE MENACES STATE REPORT REVEALS Minneapolis Farmer-Labor Council Plunging State Toward Bankruptcy, Says Lee. Important revelations that should have a material effect on the results of the state election have just been made by Rudolph Lee, a country newspaper owner and editor from Long Prairie, Minn., who, in response to a request from farmers of Todd county spent a week in Minneapolis gaining first-hand information concerning the city government there. The investigation was inspired by a visit to Long Prarie made by Floyd Olson, Farmer-Labor candidate for Governor, who stated that "I am affiliated with the Farmer-Labor party, and I am proud of it; I am proud of the record that has been made by the Farmer-Labor council of Minneapolis, and I want to say to you that if elected I shall transfer to the state methods that have made such an unqualified success in Minneapolis." The Todd county farmers requested Mr. Lee to investigate the Minneapolis city government and report to them. He did. His report is a revelation. It will be difficult for Mr. Olson to explain some of the things that are contained therein. Mr. Lee found, among other things, that the Farmer-Labor council is plunging the city of Minneapolis in the general direction of bankruptcy. This is not Mr. Lee's opinion but a fact that is brought out by the records. He found that $30,000,000 was spent last year to operate the Minneapolis city government, or about $10,-000,000 more than was required to operate the entire state government. He discovered that since the Farmer-Labor administration became effective, the taxes for the city of Minneapolis have increased exactly 100 per cent, exclusive of bond issues. He found the grossest kind of business inefficiency, as evidenced in the case of the New Nicollet hotel and the municipal auditorium. On the same day that the people of Minneapolis authorized the city council to proceed with the construction of the auditorium, private interests started raising money for the construction of the hotel which represents a greater cash outlay than does the auditorium. The hotel has now been in operation since June, while not a shovelful of dirt has been turned on the auditorium. This is due to the fact that the members of the council have been fighting for many months as to whether they will build the auditorium by contract or day labor. The radical members favor day labor, but Mayor Leach has refused to sign the order in that case. The records show, according to Mr. Mr. Lee, that the council has been doing virtually all of the public work by day labor, the theory of which is more and more of the public money, shorter and shorter hours and less and less output, with the result that every public job that has been done under the direction of the present council has cost 100 per cent. more than the original estimate. Mr. Lee found that M. Olson's personal campaign manager is Alderman I. G. Scott, who admits his connection with the I. W. W. Mr. Scott wears a red flag in the lapel of his coat. The records of the council show that Mr. Scott has openly defended the methods of the I. W. W.; that he bitterly opposed and voted against a resolution of sympathy proposed for Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt at the time of the death of her illustrious husband; that he protested interference in I. W. W. meetings by service men. Other famous radicals, such as Richard Wiggin, assistant city attorney and Henry Wuerzinger, are closely linked with the Olson campaign, while St. Paul's own William E. Mahoney, whose radicalism was too much even for Robert M. La Follette, is the personal representative on the state central committee of Emil E. Holmes, Farmer-Labor candidate for lieutenant governor. Continued on page 4) MINNESOTA MISTORICAL SOCIETY AL trict E Negro Church Conference to Advise Voters As a part of its social and welfare program the Chicago Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church passed the following resolution: Whereas, we are facing a grave political event and crisis in the coming National election, and, Whereas, we as a racial entity and as citizens of this Republic, have our own peculiar racial, social, social, economis, religious and political problems to face, we feel that our people, en masse, are still in need of and are, as well, still ready to receive advice and counsel, as in the past, from their pastors: And whereas, glowing promises for the future are being held out by certain parties seeking to corral the vote of our people, and to that end various subterfuges are being used. Therefore, be it resolved, that as a Conference we do not hesitate and declare it to be our ultimate conviction, that just at this time we cannot advise our people to desert the Republican Party for any offer that other persons or parties may make. While we realize that in some respects and at some times representatives of the Republican Party have not always shown themselves fully appreciative of our aid, at the same time when we recall and compare the complete record in National affairs of the treatment accorded us by the two of the great leading parties we quickly see a splendid balance in favor of the Republican Party, and the present Republican Standard Bearers; Therefore, we urge our people, both men and women, in this critical hour and pivotal section, not to fail to qualify for the electorate and upon election go to the polls and cast their suffrage for Coolidge and Dawes as President and Vice-President of the U. S. Signed: C. M. Tanner, B. U. Taylor, J. M. Anderson, R. E. Wilson, T. L. Scott, C. Z Williams, N. J. McCracken, W. W. Lucas., A. L. Gaines, Presiding Bhp. MPLS. PHOTOGRAPHER DESERVES YOUR PATRONAGE Upon the departure of the "Runnin' Wild" company from St. Paul Saturday evening, several members presented their friends with high grade photos made by Sussman, 305 Nicollet Ave., one of the oldest photographers in Minneapolis. Mr. Sussman has been engaged in photography for the past twenty years, and needs no introduction to the public. Last October he made a number of portraits for members of the "Shuffle Along" company. Those who are planning on giving a suitable gift to their friend at Christmas time should consider photographs from Sussman. This studio specializes in wedding and family groups, also baby pictures. High class work at a reasonable rate is sufficient inducement for St. Paul and Minneapolis people to take advantage of and let Sussman look after your photo wants. Mrs. W. M. Brown, 1460 Sherburne Ave., is visiting friends and relatives in Chicago. She will return next week by motor with her brother-in-law, Mr. Foster Brown in his new Essex coach. Mr. W. E.

Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS KEEPS PARTIES GUESSING, SAYS JAMES JOHNSON N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Declares "Gentleman's Agreement" Between Parties Must Be Smashed Emancipation from the bondage of Republican is the task before colored voters in America, declares James Weldon Johnson, writing the leading political artical in the October number of The Crisis. He asserts that a sort of agreement between the two major parties provides that the Democrats will do absolutely nothing for the Negro, and the Republicans will do as little as possible. "The only way for the Negro to begin to gain political importance and power," says Mr. Johnson, "is by smashing this 'gentleman's agreement.' He must absolutely destroy the idea that because a man's face is dark he has the word 'Republican' inelibly written across his forehead, and that it is a badge of villenage from which he will never seek to escape, no matter what his lords may do or may not do." The situation of the Negro in the South, Mr. Johnson explains as follows: "The Republican Party in the South is not a political party. It is an office-holding oligarchy. The bosses are not interested in building up a party; they are interested solely in taking a hand-picked delegation every four years to the national convention, and landing on the band wagon. The only political activity in the so-called Republican Party in the South is that involved in contesting delegations going to the national convention. If a Republican President is elected, those bosses have all the Federal jobs in the whole empire of the South to parcel out among themselves and their friends. There are fat packings and are exclusively reserved to, relatively, a very few persons; for the mass of white Southerners are barred by being Democrats. It is here we have the reason for the rise and growth of Lilywhiteism; the white men in the game simply wanted all the jobs." Mr. Johnson then says of the Northern Nerroes: "They are the victims of a tacit, if not expressed, 'gentleman's agreement' between the two major parties by which they are almost completely eliminated as a political force. This agreement provides that the Republican Party will hold the Negro and do as little for him as possible, and that the Democrats will have none of him at all. The pathetic thing is that it is the Negro voters themselves who make possible this annulment of the power they hold in their hands. It is possible because practically every Negro vote is labeled, sealed, delivered and packed away long before election. How can the Negro expect any worth-while consideration for his vote as long as the politicians are always reasonably sure as to how it will be cast? The Republicans feel sure of it, the Democrats don't expect it." Mrs. Belle Tyler, recently returned from Seattle, Wash., rendered an excellent solo at Pilgrim church on last Sunday. Mrs. Crystal Burgess, 402 Rondo St., who underwent a serious operation is able to be up again. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Goins, 410 Carroll avenue, left last week for a three weeks trip to Indiana, Chicago and Louisville.

Perhaps the most interesting and significant gathering in the political history of the race was the dinner-conference of editors of the western district, called by Wm. C. Mathews, General Organizer, Colored Division, Republican National Committee. In a cultural setting of men of brilliant intellects, reason, wit and humor, patience and forbearance were blended to further the interests of Calvin Coolidge and the Republican Party. The idea broadcasted there as the most paramount in the minds of these men who, more than any other agency, mould the sentiment of the Negro public was the pressing need of solidarity and of developing among themselves a united front from which to instill into the rank and file of the 12,000,000 Negroes of this country the determination to stand with Calvin Coolidge and the Republican party against the vicious and subtle forces at work to disrupt our stronghold and retard the progress of the race. The fact that such journals as the Atlanta Independent, Chicago Defender, Cleveland Call, Memphis Times, Detroit Independent, Kansas City Call, The National Notes (N. A. C. W.), Louisville Leader, The De Moines Bystander, and other conservative organs advocated continued fealty to Republican standards indicates that now, as in every political crisis our government has been called upon to face, the Negro has been true to the party which placed, within his grasp the greatest weapon of citizenship—the ballot. The unanimous resolution passed by the body, crystalizing the sentiment expressed throughout the conference, pledged to Coolidge and Dawes the united support of the journals represented; urged definite action looking to the proper reinforcement of the 14th, 15th and 18th Amendments; decried lynching and denounced the undemocratic practice of the use of photographs by the Civil Service Bureau in classifying applicants; repudiated Lily-White Republicanism and urged that the voting strength of the Negro be the basis of representation in office. These appeals and the high moral tone of the conference in general should impel the Republican National Committee to bring immediate relief to the loyal colored Republicans of this country from the complaints therein enumerated. The Bulletin Appeal, through its authorized representative at the conference, joined in the pledge to carry on in this important task; and says to the editorial forces of the western district, in the language of the Apostle Paul.

Polling Place Precinct ter TODAY October 4, 1924 House, at 4th & Wabasha U. S. ARMY HAS ITS "LADIES FROM HELL" Samoan Soldiers Wear Kilts and Nothing Else. Washington, D. C.—Uncle Sam has soldiers who go Scotland's "Ladies From Hell" one better. They wear kilts—and that's all. They are natives of Samoa in the South Pacific, where the banishment of a chief by the American governor of the islands has caused a protest to be made directly to President Coolidge. In regard to these picturesque soldiers, a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society quotes a communication from Lorena MacIntyre Quinn as follows: "The Fita-Fitas, as the native soldiers are called, constitute an important unit in the government of American Samoa. "It would be hard to find a more picturesque body of men than these, our South sea island soldiers. Tall, broadshouldered, handsome in features, possessing splendid poise, they are admirable types of their race. "Their fatigue uniform consists of a sort of black kilt with a bright red stripe around the border. Above the waist and below the knee the uniform is 'nature's own.' "A leather belt carrying a dagger on the side holds the kilt or lava-lava in place. A bright red turban is the head-dress. "For dress uniform the Fita-Fitas wear with the lava-lava a sleeveless white undervest, similar to the X. Y. Z. or A. B. C. garment graphically described in the advertising columns. Uniforms Made Them Ill. "When the native soldiers were first taken into the service of the United States, a less abbreviated and more conventional uniform was provided them, with the result that they were constantly suffering from colds; so there was a wise reversion to a uniform on the lines of their native dress. "The Fita-Fitas have municipal as well as military duties. They act as policemen in and about Pago Pago, guard all prisoners in the Pago Pago jail, and frequently are called upon to settle fights at cricket games between rival native villages. The last-named duty is sometimes a severe test for the soldier as an arbitrator, especially when his own village is involved in the controversy. "The multifold activities of our South sea soldiers seem rather at variance with the conceptions most of us have about native life in the islands of the South Pacific. We picture a native as lolling under a coconut tree, an obliging w'e sitting close by, waving a palm leaf to 'shoo' away the flies from her lord, and food on the branches of nearby trees within easy reach of both. "When the governor of American Samoa makes a tour of inspection of Tutulua, he is always accompanied by native soldiers. The Fita-Fita selected to be the orderly on such occasions holds a proud position among his friends. "The official party is received with great dignity and formality by the chiefs of the villages on these tours, as the Samoans delight in ceremony and speechmaking. The reception accorded the Fita-Fitas by the pretty, vivacious Samoan belles of the different villages is always exceedingly cordial. These maidens with bronze complexions, are as susceptible to the fascinations of the lava-lava uniform as their sisters in America are partial to khaki and brass buttons. "The principal feature of the Fita-Fita organization is the band. A little more than a decade ago the natives of American Samoa had never seen a brass instrument, but with infinite patience a bandmaster of the United States Navy eventually taught some of the Fita-Fitas how to play, with the result that today the repertoire of the Fita-Fita band covers a wide range of classical and popular airs. Rooters at Cricket Games. Rooters at Cricket Games. "The favorite form of recreation for the Fita-Fitas is cricket. The English missionaries taught the Samoans the game, and cricket tournaments are gala events in the islands. Instead of having the regulation eleven on each side, however, the natives have as many as forty of fifty, so that a game very often assumes the proportions of a miniature battle. "The rooting" section is the prime attraction at the tournament. The antics and capers of the Samoan 'bleacherites' at their games would make the 'stunts' of the undergraduates at an inter-collegiate game seem tame in comparison. The natives crouch on the side lines, beating wooden drums and giving vent to wild chants, easily eclipsing our own college cheers, as far as volume of noise is concerned. "Courage of a high degree is characteristic of the Samoans. The world looked on with admiration in 1889 when the natives defied the warships of three nations—three American ships, one British, and three German. Then, when a hurricane swept the harbor of Apia on March 16, 1889, and destroyed all the assembled warships with the exception of the British Callope, their 'savages' swam out and rescued their enemies." Owna Smallest Book Eiberfeld, Germany.—An opers singer of this city possesses what is said to be the smallest book in the world. Its dimensions are one-quarter of an inch by one-half inch.

Washington.—The coming of the German-made dirigible ZR-3 to the United States this fall accentulates the value of that recent acquisition to selence, non-explosive helium gas, of which this country possesses a commercial monopoly. The ZR-3, which is to become American property as a reparations payment, will be flown to America using hydrogen, but upon its arrival it will be inflated with helium. So important is deemed the American supply of helium, that a measure is pending in congress to insure its conservation and to prohibit its exportation. The bureau of mines, to which branch of the Department of the Interior was intrusted the search for helium and the working out of processes for its recovery, has just installed a new extraction plant at Fort Worth, Texas. There, in conjunction with the commercial development of the product, the government will carry forward the new method which is to be turned over to the navy to operate later, when demonstrated fully successful. Process of Repurification. A repurification plant has recently been installed at Lakehurst, N. J., home of the navy air giant Shenandoah. Air seeps in through the huge envelope of the Shenandoah, and when the helium purity is lowered to 85 per cent, through admixture of the air, the mixture is taken out and put into a refrigeration plant and again separated. Helium 98 per cent pure is recovered, with only about 1 per cent loss. This new repurification plant cost about $100,000, but it has already demonstrated a saving of $180,000, each time the gas is taken out and repurified. The cost of filling the Shenandoah with unused helium is estimated at $200,000. The repurification system enables helium formerly used to be restored to its pristine purity and pumped into the Shenandoah for $20,000. Sources of Hellum. Sources of supply of helium are in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, three states in which it was originally found and more recently in Utah and Montana, according to Dr. C. S. Lind of the bureau of mines. The conditions which regulate its retention are not known. Unless helium is found to exist in quantities of one-half of 1 per cent, mixed with other gases, commercial development is not considered worth while. Two per cent of helium in a well is the maximum. Helium is "perfectly inert chemically," says Doctor Lind. "It won't burn or explode, and it might even put out a gasoline fire. While hydrogen can be manufactured anywhere in the world and is universally obtainable, the safety of helium makes it the more desirable." Hellum was first discovered in the sun in 1869, Doctor Lind explains. From the Greek wqrd hellos, meaning the sun, it gets its name. It was discovered on earth in 1895 and in the United States in natural gases in 1907. The bureau of mines started helium work in 1917 as a war proposition. Tests Emotions by Use of a Collapsible Chain Chicago.—Dr. W. E. Blatz of the psychology department of the University of Chicago has invented an instrument to test all the emotions. It is a collapsible chair, operated by electricity. The subject is invited to a seat in the chair and then, during an airy conversation, the professor touches a button on his desk and the subject drops sheer to the floor, landing on the base of his spinal column. The scientist quickly charts the emotions, fear, anger, humiliation. He often got this reaction: "What the _____?" "Till be _____!" Which is a new phenomena in tests. Electrodes, fastened to the subject's arm, are connected with an electrocardiograph in another room, which records in detail the effect on his heartbeat and the change in his emotional state, both before, during and subsequent to the fall. In several cases such anger was exhibited that Doctor Blatz was forced to flee from the Room. Twenty-five students have been operated on now and the question of trying the instrument on the co-eds is under discussion. While the doctor feels that much revealing data might be collected from the girls he is afraid the emotion of indignation would swamp his chart. Children Eat Spinach For Ice Cream Reward Chicago. Every parent knows a child will not eat spinach when there is a chance of getting candy, even though the spinach will make the child grow. But experimenters at the University of Chicago have found a way to make the child eat the spinach—and like it. A group of ten children ate together every day for three months. Their meals were prepared by a dietitian, and spinach, other vegetables, meat and milk were served them first. If they did not eat this they received no dessert. After the first few days all of the children were "polishing" their plates to get a share of the ice cream.

NEMESIS Mary Johnson, in the Century Magazine for May, depicts in a short story under the title "nemesis" the community effects of a lynching. The writer shows with her graphic pen the psychological and moral effects of a lynching upon the white men of a small southern town who took part in it. The savage passions aroused by the burning of a Negro, hurriedly jailed on suspicion of rape, raniot for weeks following among the men of the town. One man turns out to hate everybody and everything and murders some. One of the others has peculiar pains for which his physician finds no diagnosis or remedy; another becomes melancholy, locks himself in his own house for many days, shoots his dog, and finally, in despair, hangs himself. The whole story pictures the horrible aftermath the citizens of the community breaks of lawlessness when fellowship among down. Those who had lawlessly wracked their hatred upon a helpless black victim are themselves consumed by the very human passions which their action aroused.

Need of Education When Life Ends Need of Education Ceases Only When Life Ends,Professor Says Minnesota University Extension Service Director Calls Learning Matter of Fundamental Importance in Nation Adult education is a matter of fundamental importance in this democracy and we must get out of the notion that education ceases with termination of school life" declared Dr. R. R. Price, director extension service, University of Minnesota, in an address here today before the annual convention of the Minnesota Library association. "We muts inculcate the idea that a man must be getting more education every year of his life and that education ceases only with life." Dr. Price continued. "We must henceforth have an education of the whole people in a new and higher sense than ever before was attempted in the world.

That the Minneapolis 13th ward is due for a surprise in a political way soon. Just watch and wait. SOCIALIST RULE MENACES STATE, REPORT REVEALS (Continued from page 1) It is such methods, then, and such men, according to Mr. Lee, that Floyd Olson has promised he will transfer to the state capitol in the event of his election. In other words, Mr. Olson proposes that the people of Minnesota put the Minneapolis city hall gang in charge of the state government, and if they do to the state government what they are doing to the Minne- knowledge." In St. Louis the most interesting group of students in any of the city's night school courses, including white schools, is the one at Sumner high school, where about 45 students of our race, none younger than 50 years old, and a good many more than 65 are learning to read and write. They are divided into two classes, elementary and advanced, and after a year in the first they are always promoted. Besides reading and writing, they are taught simple arithmetic, how to count money and how to make change. And they learn more rapidly than do children in the primary grades, for they have the advantage of experience. The summer night school also offers courses in many other grade subjects, and the average of these grade students over 40 years old is 80 per cent. In the high school courses given at Summer, about 35 per cent of the students are more than 40.
