"HAVE A HEART" IS CHEST SLOGAN E Finished To Secure and Equality The medical society East Minneapolis and Minnesota STATE CHAIRMAN WARNS VOTERS OF RADICAL MENACE In a special interview for the Bulletin-Apeal, W. W. Sivright, chairman of the Republican state central committee, warns the Negro voters in the Twin Cities and Minnesota of the menace of Socialism and Communism that has taken a firm hold in Farmer-Labor party. Mr. Silvright explains that there are three members of the Farmer-Labor state central committee who are avowed Communists. "In an article in a recent issue of The Minnesota, a minneapolis labor paper," he says, "three members of the central committee are branded as Communists. They are William Mahoney, pilot of the Third Party convention in St. Paul last summer, which La Follette denounced, as radical as La Follette is, because of its Communistic ideas; John Braden of Minneapolis and I. G. Scott, who is admitted I. W. W. and manager of Floyd Olson's campaign in Minneapolis." "Besides these admitted Communists, "says Mr. Slvright," there are many out and out Socialists in the party. Socialism is a creed for opportunists and self-seekers who haven't a penny in the world, and the Farmer-Labor is just another name for Socialism. "A few weeks ago I heard a talk in Minneapolis by Victor Berger, Socialist candidate for Congress from Milwaukee. He said that Socialists had to recruit their ranks from the younger men of the generation. And then he explained why this was necessary. "It seems that as soon as a Socialist becomes a property owner and pays taxes—that is, when he becomes a stockholder in the United States Government—the Socialist party loses one of its followers." "When a man owns property and pays taxes he is not going to experiment with a lot of untried theories like public ownership of railroads and other public utilities—there is too much chance of a failure of the plan and the taxpayer will be out the money and not the men who try the experiment. "Socialists and Farmer-Laborites recruit their ranks from the irresponsible school boys who have not yet learned by practical experience that a high sounding theory will not work in practice. "Then in the Farmer-Labor party we find an element which is decidedly communistic in its leanings. They believe in the Russian theory of government, in the Russian system, everybody owns everything and nobody owns anything. They stand for restriction of everything and freedom of nothing. "If the Farmer-Labor party comes into power these communists will do their best to make this country as much like Russia as they can. We will have a police system like the Russian "Checkov." This police will watch the movements of every private citizen in the country and on the least suspicion that a citizen is or a different party from the government in power, he will be cast into prison. "Another thing that should be of vital importance to the people of Minnesota is the fact that these communists are opposed to a church of any kind; they are free thinkers and atheists. In Russia the state does not recognize a church and all worship that the people do must be in secret at the risk of being thrown into jail for it. "If the people of Minnesota wish to safeguard the sacred rights of American citizenship they will vote anything but the Farmer-Labor ticket on November 4. ADDRESSES MANAGERS AT CLUB LUNCHEON Mr. E. A. Carter of the St. Paul Urban League was the speaker at the luncheon of the Personnel Managers' Club of St. Paul Thursday at 12 o'clock at the St. Paul Association. Mr. Carter made a plea for the opportunity of colored men and women to work in the various industries of St. Paul. BULLETIN-APPEAL [Picture of a man with a dark face and a white shirt with a bow tie. The background is black.] [The text is in a serif font, centered, and reads: "PATRICK H. HARRIS."] William R. Morris, attorney, and member of the Minneapolis charter commission, in a statement last week said that the attack opened in Louisiana against the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution in an effort to disfranchise the American Negro, is a futile effort which can have no legal standing. Mr. Morris is a close friend of Walter L. Cohen, collector of customs at the port of New Orleans, over whom the action was precipitated. He said that if the Supreme Court should declare the Fourteenth Amendment invalid, it would lay open to question the legality of every election, North or South, or anywhere, in which voters of African blood participated—and would precipitate a virtual chaos. He said that such a determination by the Supreme Court would be unthinkable. "The circumstances now are such," he said, "that the attackers of the amendment have no remedy at law. The African citizenship is so interminably interwoven into the affairs of government and life in the South and in the North as well, that it would undermine the whole structure to declare the Negro disfranchised."

Mrs. Edith Barber, 721 St. Anthony Ave., left last week for Seattle, Wash., to join her husband.

Her early childhood was spent in Pullman, Ill., where she was graduated from the Public Schools. Her musical education was acquired at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago from which college she graduated. After teaching for several years in Pullman, she took charge of the Department of Music at Philander Smith. College in Little Rock, Arkansas. A few years later, Mr. Booker T. Washington engaged her as Secretary in his office which position she held for two years until transferred to the Music Department at Tuskegee, where she remained three years. Unable longer to endure the climate, Miss LaForce came north to make her home with her parents in Minneapolis where she secured a position as stenographer. Miss LaForce was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church since childhood. She taught classes in Sunday School and was well beloved by all who knew her. Sunny of disposition, she had an unusual talent for making friends. Devoted to high ideals, she developed those virtues which are so necessary to a well rounded Christian Character. She will always be remembered as an unselfish, devoted daughter, a kind loving sister, and a staunch, loyal friend. Mesdames Bertha Southall and G. W. Brewer are in Chicago visiting Mrs. W. M.

In a recent issue of the Red Wing Republican, there appeared an interview stating that Senator Magnus Johnson, candidate on the Farmer-Labor ticket for re-election to the United States Senate, had invited members of the African Methodist Church in Washington to immigrate to Minnesota. Senator Johnson immediately wrote to the Red Wing paper stating that he had done nothing of the kind and that he never was in favor of the immigration of Negroes into the state of Minnesota. He says in part, "The statement that I extended an invitation to the colored people of Washington to immigrate to this state is simply too foolish to require an answer. No friend of labor would invite an additional supply of Negro workers to come in here and thus flood our already overcrowded labor market." In the following statement the Red Wing paper explained the circumstances of the case: "The above letter from Senator Magnus Johnson is self-explanatory. The only comment we wish to make is that the interview published regarding his address to the colored congregation in Washington was with a person who is of high standing in this community, and whose word The Republican has never had reason to doubt." It looks as though when Magnus is in Rome he does as the Romans do. To one audience he tells one thing and to another audience he tells a different thing—if it will get him votes. FORMER FORT CLUB ATTENDANT DEAD Sergeant Zachariah A. Pope, beloved husband of Mrs. Mary Pope, 216 W. 31st St., passed away Monday evening at 5:50 P. M., after a long illness. He was a retired soldier of the United States Army and had served fifty years. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from Gleason's Undertaking Parlor. Interment at Fort Snelling. Sergeant Pope was a well known citizen of Minneapolis and had a host of friends in the Twin Cities. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Pope, who has the sympathy of the entire community. For many years he was the attendant at the Fort Snelling Club. Seeks Re-election Upon His Record M. B. H. Clifford L. Hilton, who is running for re-election as attorney general of the state on the Republican ticket, is basing his campaign entirely upon his record in office. During his term as chief law officer of the state he has made and saved millions of dollars for the people of Minnesota through his decisions in regard to Pittsburgh Plus, the Tonnage Tax Case, and the North Dakota-Minnesota Flowage case. In the Pittsburgh Plus case, the users of steel in Minnesota were saved more than $30,000,000 annually, and this saving indirectly affects every citizen in the state through the lowering of prices on staple commodities. Mr. Hilton prosecuted this case before the Federal Trade Commission and as a result the commission ordered the steel companies in Minnesota be forbidden to charge the Pittsburgh price for steel plus the freight rate to this state whether it was manufactured in the state or not. Prior to the ruling every ton of steel manufactured in Minnesota was priced according to the Pittsburgh standard plus the freight rate between that city and this state. In 1923, Mr. Hilton was responsible for the addition of nearly $6,000,000 to the state treasury through the collection of the tonnage tax on iron ore, a law which he drafted and played a large part in having passed. This $6,000,000 was deducted from the general tax budget for 1924, saving that amount for the taxpayers. At present there are 100 important cases pending in the attorney general's department, which Mr. Hilton is preparing and which will come up in court the early part of 1925. If reelected Mr. Hilton says that he will be able to go on with his plans for these cases. Republican leaders in the state say that if another man goes into the attorney general's office, the taxpayers will lose much of the money that will be earned for the state through these pending cases.

He left St. Paul twelve years ago; since that time numerous changes have transpired. Many of his friends who wished him God Speed on his departure have passed on to the "Great Beyond." Others remembering him as a man of intellectual strength and progressive ideals endeavored to show him that they cherish the principles which he fostered while in their midst. Sunday afternoon members of Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. of W., gave a reception and banquet in honor of Rev. White at Pioneer Hall. Attorney J. Louis Ervin, D. Deputy, welcomed the visitor.

McCracken acted as Master of Ceremonies introducing the guest of honor and speaker of the evening, Rev. J. R. White. The members listened to an eloquent and earnest address in which the Rev. J. R. White impressed upon the minds of all, the necessity of contributing, each and every one, our part to the up-building of the organization; after which we listened to the masterly response by our brother H.

United States Will Defend Walter Cohen Washington, Oct. 14—The Federal government will defend Walter L. Cohen, colored comproller of customs at New Orleans, whose appointment to that office is contested in a suit filed in New Orleans recently. Attorney General Stone today directed Louis H. Burns, United States attorney at New Orleans, to appear on behalf of the government and represent Mr. Cohen in the court proceeding. The suit involved eligibility of Cohen for the office and the constitutionality of the Fourteenth amendment. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE TO START ON TUESDAY, OCT. 21 2,000 Workers To Begin Drive To Fill 5th Annual Community Chest. This is Community Chest week. For the fifth time the St. Paul Community Chest is making its annual appeal for the public's support of the 52 social welfare agencies of the city. This fifth annual campaign, in preparation for the past two months, comes to all St. Paul early Tuesday morning, to continue throughout the entire week. The campaign this year is for a total of $650,000 for the support of the Chest's social agencies. More than 2,000 men and women of the city have volunteered their services to the Community Chest for the solicitation of these funds. These men and women will work through the entire week. Their work, it is pointed out, is their civic contribution to the advancement of the city's social welfare. "Have a Heart" Is Slogan. "Have a Heart," is the slogan that hes impressed itself visibly, in picture and in legend form. And the Chest's workers, all volunteers, bring this slogan as their message this week to every man, woman and child in the city. The Community Chest campaign takes the place of 52 individual agencies. On that account, it is pointed out by Chest officials, an individual contribution, except it is specifically designated, must be divided 52 ways. "This Community Chest campaign is a civic responsibility as well as an individual responsibility," Mayor Arthur E. Nelson told the campaign workers, "and this city as a whole and its citizens as individuals are not going to shirk their responsibilities. St. Paul will 'have a heart,' he said. Begin Work Tuesday. Solicitors, both men and women who have volunteered for the work, will be abroad in all parts of the city Tuesday morning. The places of businesses principally will be solicited, and only in a few isolated instances will a house to house canvass for funds take place. In the Chest there are three colored organizations who have been allotted the following budgets: Urban league, $4,200; Y. W. C. A. center, $3,000; and Crispus Attucks home, $1,680—a total of $8,880. This much of the $650,000 asked by the Chest goes directly to colored organizations, officiered by colored staffs. All of them are deserving well-managed institutions. The drive opens Sunday in all the churches of the city with speakers outlining the plan. Just the care of one little child or $10 per week for over a year is more than enough why we should contribute to the Community Chest.

Use the Negro has never been guilty of ingesting self-appointed leaders are inclined to the election of Coolidge and Dawes, firm in our honesty, integrity and friendship. The movement of a few members of the race in behalf of Senator La Follette, for the presidency, is ill-advised and unwarranted. What has Robert M. La Follette ever done for the Negro in his more than 30 years in public life? The only thing we can recall was the appointment of a messenger to the executive chamber at Madison when he was governor of Wisconsin. In doing this he only followed a precedent set by one of his predecessors. The messengership, a meaningless job, was not a fitting recognition of a race that boasted of citizens of the Badger state qualified and capable of filling efficiently any job of an official nature within the gift of the governor. This fact the executive overlooked by giving such recognition as he thought proper—that of a menial, notwithstanding the fact that he received the solid vote of every Negro in the state when he was a candidate for governor. This movement toward La Follette has its origin in the east where little is known of the radical candidate, but very fortunately its proportions are small and of no consequence. Let the Negro be not unmindful of his real friends as distinguished from his pretended friends. John C. Spooner has passed from this scene of terrestrial strife and now sleeps with his fathers, but memory carries us back to the halls of Congress where his voice was heard in behalf of the jeopardized rights of the Negro with such force that it impelled the attention of a nation too indifferent to the cry of the ill-used and down-trodden when the hue of their skin happens to be black. No man, since the lamented Charles Sumner, ever championed the rights of the Negro so eloquently as did Senator Spooner. He was a master in debate and repartee and more than a match for the Tillmans and hill billies that assailed the rights of the race. The race lost the best friend it had in Congress since Sumner's death when John C. Spooner passed to the undiscovered country. La Follette, for selfish political reasons, drove Spooner into retirement, if not a premature grave. La Follette has had ample opportunity to lift his voice for the cause of the Negro during his years of service as Senator, but his tongue has been silent. By their fruits shall they be known. We find La Follette wanting in his relation to the Negro. Our esteem for the memory of Spooner precludes our support of La Follette. As a race the Negro has never been guilty of ingratitude, even though a few self-appointed leaders are inclined that way. We stand for the election of Coolidge and Dawes, firm in our faith and belief in their honesty, integrity and friendship.

Endorse Erickson For County Clerk Lawrence Erickson, candidate for clerk of Hennepin county, is a graduate of the Minneapolis public schools and of Minnesota college. He was connected with the Ford Motor Company of Minneapolis for six years, the last two years as employment manager in charge of 500 men. Shortly after he entered the office of the clerk of the district court, and was in that office for approximately one and a half years, as judgment clerk. With the experience and knowledge obtained in this office, he is no doubt qualified to give service, efficiency and economy. A group of 200 citizens representing five wards, knowing of the conditions which exist in the office of the clerk of the district court, and believing that a change of office would be beneficial to the taxpayers, passed a resolution requesting him to file for this position. Vote for Lawrence Erickson and elect a clerk who will comply with the law.

MANY WIVES REDUCE WORK ABOUT HOUSE MANY WIVES REDUCE WORK ABOUT HOUSE Newcomer Is Welcomed in Homes of Indians. Quito, Ecuador, S. A.-The Shuara Indians, who inhabit the unknown regions throughout the tributaries of the upper Amazon river, are beyond doubt the largest and most powerful race left in South America today. Their head-reducing feasts, their far-reaching religious views, the fact that they never were conquered by the Incas or the Spaniards, are but a few of their characteristics that would take a book to write of in complete detail, writes Lester Siddle, in the New York Tribune. These Indians have peculiar views of matrimony. They marry for more wives in order that they may have more boy babies. And also because the more wives one husband has the less work for each wife. Consequently, when a husband brings home a new wife there is much rejoicing among the other wives, because, they say, she can help with the work. The men never do any work in the gardens of yuca and bananas or tobacco. Their duty is to fight the wars, carry on the blood feuds and obtain game for the household. And during all of my eight months among these Indians I never once saw an unhappy household. The several wives work in perfect harmony. Strange Superstition. With a desire to obtain pictures, samples of hair and measurements of these Indians, one of their strangest superstitions was presented to me in a startling manner. The superstition that a camera is some species of soul stealer or imposer of witchcraft came near upsetting my plans. I desired profile pictures, close-ups and even a bit of hair from each in order to use for comparison. Not only this, but I wanted body measurements of both men and women. I set about therefore to invigle my models, so to speak, into a good frame of mind with gifts of red beads, fish hooks, knives, cloth and other odds and ends. The work of photographing and measuring progressed satisfactorily, but the wrong wrinkle in the whole affair came just as I was attempting to cut off a lock from one of the Indian maldens. As the girl did not seem to have any drastic objections, I started, shears in hand, measuring off about a foot of the jet-black hair. The hair was more on the order of horse hair than that of a human being. It was coarse and greasy and stiff. It delayed my intentions so long that trouble really started. Raised a Howl. I cannot recall just how it all happened, but suddenly there arose a howl among the warriors. There had been revived in their minds an ancient superstition, in connection with witchcraft and sorcery, which had been practiced by their forefathers and which was somehow connected with a woman's lock of hair. The superstition was to the effect that, under the influence of a drug, the spirits had told a witch doctor of their tribe that one could impose witchcraft on a woman, or, as they call it, "pray her to death," if the sorcerer was able to steal a hair from his victim's head. But they are extremists. As soon as they learned that a camera would not kill them nor steal their souls, and that I was not intending to "pray the woman to death," they broadcast the good news to other tribes by means of pounding rapidly on a big signal drum made out of a hollow log, and called a tundul or tundul. They used a series of loud and dim blows, something on the order of our dot and dash code. They were able to relay a message from family to family or from tribe to tribe through this code. In former times this signal drum was used at all religious ceremonies. Today it is used during surprise attacks from enemies of one tribe who wish to signal to their allies for aid.
