Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

BIG CROWD HEARS G.O.P. SPEAKERS Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All VOLUME III. NO.28 COMMUNITYCHEST HALF FILLED AFTER THREE DAY DRIVE COMMUNITYCHEST HALF FILLED AFTER THREE DAY DRIVE Workers in All Parts of City Canvas For Annual Chest Fund The annual Community Chest drive started with a bang Tuesday when more than 2,000 workers began the drive to fill the fifth annual Community Chest. The campaign this year is for a total of $650,00 for the support of the Chest's social agencies. Up to Thursday noon $390,000 or more than half the total had been pledged. What We Get "Do we get anything out of it", is a question often asked by members of our colored group concerning the Community Chest. The answer is "Yes." We get not only what we put in it, but much more, for the work of the Chest is based on need rather than contributions. Fifty-two social agencies make up the Community Chest, and among them are three whose work is confined wholly to colored people—Crispus Attucks Home for the Aged, Y. W. C. A. Club Center and St. Paul Urban League. Crispus Attacks Home No one will question the worth of such a place as Crispus Attucks Home, which takes care of the aged and infirm providing wholesome food and shelter in their advancing years. In the year 1923-24, the Chest allotted $1,500 to maintain the home. Y. W. C. A. Club Center Here during eight months of the present year, many young girls and women have engaged in helpful activities. Classes in music, basketry and etiquette, clubs for grade and high school girls, a branch library and many other kinds of work and play have served to bring large numbers into touch with the better things of life. Without the stimulating effect of the Y. W. C. A., there young women would have been exposed to pernicious and often degrading influences. The Chest appropriated $3,000 for this work. St. Paul Urban League St. Paul Urban League A part of the work of the Urban League is to find opportunity for employment for colored people. In the first eight months of 1924, nearly 500 men and women applied to the Urban League for work. More than 740 were placed in jobs. If each person averaged a wage of $10 a week, this means $2,400 a week, or $9,600 a month, was added to the income of colored people through the efforts of the Urban League. The Urban League received $3,750 from the Chest. Thus for the support of the three agencies, we received $8,050 from the Chest, while our contributions to the Chest were about $3,000 last year. The Other Forty-nine But the work of the Community Chest among colored people is not confined to these three agencies. Nearly all of the other agencies serve us in some way. The United Charities, Neighborhood House, the Baby Welfare Association, the Salvation Army, the Preventorium—all render valuable service to colored people. Without these agencies the care of many unfortunates would fall directly upon us, and the burden would be more than we could bear. The Challenge As citizens of St. Paul, we are faced with the challenge of civic responsibility. We are asked to carry our share of the load. As participants in the benefits of the Chest, our duty then is to give all that we can that this work might go on. HAVE A HEART! Miss Gertrude Moore and Miss Bessie Sherill of 3741 Clinton Ave., So., entertained Thursday evening Oct. 16th in honor of Mrs. Carrie Ford Duval, of Seattle, Wash. The twenty guests enjoyably passed the evening in dancing and whist. Dainty prizes were offered the three best whist scores. Mrs. W. D. Thomas won first prize, Mrs. Lela Mae Stewart, second prize, and Lucian Stewart captured the consolation prize. BULLETIN-APPEAL Phyllis Wheatley Resident Head THE LOVE OF A LOVELESS WOMAN Miss Gertrude Brown, Head Resident of the Phyllis Wheatley House is a graduate of Scotia Women's College, Concord, North Carolina, and also having post graduate work at Hampton Institute, Cheyney Institute, A. and T. College, Greensboro, North Carolina, and the Community Service School in Chicago. She has attended the National Social Workers Conference for the past three years. Miss Brown comes to us highly recommended having taught in the Public School in Charlotte, North Carolina for six years, and after having charge of a Modern Community House in the above named place also the supervision of the Travelers Aid Desk at the Union Station until she was called to Dayton, Ohio, for a three months assignment, where she remained for five years until she was called here. Records show that she did a most splendid piece of work in Dayton. Her work is not only known through the State of Ohio but many states. Though other cities were endeavoring to secure the services of Miss Brown, but Minneapolis through the W. C. A. was most fortunate in obtaining her services. We have a capable young woman as the head resident of Phyllis Wheatley House and we want to give her our untiring support that she may be able to give to the work her best. Let the entire community pledge one hundred percent services to Phyllis Wheatley that she may have one of the best programs in the country. Much credit is due the W. C. A. for its attempt to give the colored people the best in its power. Lack of space prevents us from giving a detailed account of the formal opening of this community monument created by the goodness of the W. C. A. headed by that wonderful woman, Mrs. James Page. Testimonial to Be Given in November Believing that the Bulletin-Appeal should receive financial aid to continue its good work for race interest we feel that at the close of the Subscription Contest, a Testimonial should be given some time in November. We as a Committee are asking the support of the people of the Twin Cities to sponsor this entertainment by paying for one ticket which will be $1.00 each, and to interest as many of your friends as possible in doing likewise. The names of patrons and patronesses will be continued and published each week. Send in your name at once. Committee: S. E. Hall, F. D. McCracken, Hammond Turner, Dr. E. S. Weber, Dr. V. D.

LOVE BEST GIFT SAYS 114-YEAR OLD GIRL New York City, Oct.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—When Mrs. Peshe Malke, widow, was asked what she would like to have most on her 114 birthday, she replied, "A husband." THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 Judges O'Brien And Bechhoefer SeekRe-election District Court Judges Due Voter's Support In Coming Election Judge Richard D. O'Brien was born, reared, and educated in St. Paul. He graduated from the University of Minnesota and was admitted to practice in 1900. He was immediately made a member of the law firm of C. D. and R. D. O'Brien. He engaged in general practice until 1906, when he was elected County Attorney, the first time. His natural ability and the experience which he gained as a practitioner, particularly fitted him for that office. Being quite a young man for so important an office he had quite a task on his hands to maintain the high standards set by some of his predecessors, among whom were such brilliant minds as the Hon. Justice Pierce Butler of the United States Supreme Court, Samuel Anderson and others. Mr. O'Brien's record for the sixteen years that he served in that office, is second to none. In that period he represented Ramsey County in more than six thousand cases, civil and criminal, involving litigation of every kind and description. This wide experience taken together with Mr. O'Brien's kindly nature and pleasant disposition qualifies him splendidly for the office which he now holds and hopes to retain. Judge Charles Beechhoefer was born in Woodbury, Pa., January 1st, 1864. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and was admitted to practice in Minnesota in July 1885 and was associated with J. B. and W. H. Sanborn for several years. He then opened his own office and has practiced continually ever since. His practice was always a very general one. He practiced in all the courts from the Justice Court to the highest court in the land, the United States Supreme Court. With him law was a profession and not a business. He was a tireless worker and toiler as a lawyer always a student. Besides being the peoples' lawyer he had the reputation of being the lawyer's lawyer. His opinions and advice were sought by lawyers old and young. He practiced law to prevent litigation. He is universally recognized as a judicial minded man, with ability to be strictly impartial and just. His wide experience and liberal education are a guarantee to the community. He has served on the bench since January 3rd, 1923. TWIN CITY CARNATION CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS The Twin City Carnation Club was entertained on Saturday evening by Mesdames Emmet Hunt, W. M. Brown, and L. O. Willis, at the latter's residence, 1460 Sherburne Ave. The home was prettily decorated in colors suggestive of the Hallowe'en season. An enjoyable five course luncheon was served by the hostesses. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. L. D. Willis, Pres., Mrs. J. B. Levy, Vice Pres., Mrs. Jess Brown, Sec'y., Mrs. Ida B. Covington, Treas., and Mrs. W. M. Brown, publicity. Mrs. Blanche Jeffresy was a guest of the club. MILL CITY LEGION POST HOLDS FIRST ELECTION On Monday of this week a large group of Veterans of the World War met in the quarters of the Fred Douglas Club of Minneapolis, and organized the Johnny Baker, Post of the American Legion. The Post was named for a Minneapolis deceased soldier and one who went west while in line of duty. The officers of the new post are: Lewis C. Vallee, Commander; Martin Brown, first vice Commander; C. M. Fasset, second vice commander; P. J. Bufort, Adjutant; Harold Combs, Finance Officer; James H. Key, Sergeant at Arms; Webster Stoval, Historian; Horace F. Daniels, Chaplain. There are twenty members of the above named post and the officers are looking forward to making the Johnny Baker Post one of the largest and most popular posts in the northwest, among our group. B.K.Bruce G.O.P. Club Organized In response to fifty letters sent to St. Paul citizens to attend a meeting at Pioneer Hall Sunday afternoon resulted in the organization of the B. K. Bruce Republican Club. Quite a large crowd attended the meeting. The newly organized club is to be put on a permanent basis, incorporated and plans to hold annual banquets and meetings. It aims to keep principles of the Republican party ever before our group and foster election of candidates who may live up to the high ideals of the Republican party as known by Frederick Douglas and B. K. Bruce. The meeting adjourned with the election of the following officers: F. D. McCracken, Pres., J. H. Dillingham, Vice-President, A. W. Jordan, Secretary, Arthur Rhodes, Assistant Secretary, Walker Williams, Treasurer. Executive Committee: S. E. Hall, Dr. O. D. Howard, Dr. E. S. Weber, Henry High, W. J. Utley, George E. Butler, D. M. Johnson. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Active Psi Chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, met at the residence of Brother W. W. Woodford, 1474 Charles St., for its second business meeting of the 1924-25 school year. Brother Woodford is Vice-President of the Chapter. Psi Chapter was organized February 19, 1924, at the residence of Brother Maceo V. Littlejohn, 690 University Ave., with eight charter members. The membership at present totals eleven active members and six pledges upon the University Campus. The "Kappa Chant" is being heard in the Twin Cities. Brother Earl Neal, formerly of the University of Chicago, has joined the student body of the University of Minnesota. Brother Neal marched with Iota Chapter, Kappa Alpha Psi, and has now cast his lot with Psi Chapter. Messrs. Vassar, Owens, and Rose of the University of Minnesota, Rev. H. C. Claybrook, alumni and Mr. James V. Howland, of the St. Paul College of Law are pledges of Psi Chapter. Dr. J. W. Crump, Polemarch, W. W. Woodford, Vice-Polemarch and Earl Neal were elected to represent Psi Chapter, as delegates to the 14th annual grand chapter, meeting at St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 17, to 1-st. 1924. Brother J. Douglas Thompson and H. K. Stewart are the honor members of Psi Chapter for punctual attendance. They do it for Henry Ford's namesake. Brother Ferdinand Johnson has fully qualified as a Noble Greek but seemingly this did not qualify him as a whist player as he was beaten three straights and a "Kat" in a game with Brothers Woodford, Littlejohn and pledge Andrew Owens. He moved that the game be adjourned. Psi Game extends a hearty welcome to all Noble Greeks who may be temporarily sojourning in the Twin Cities. Come out and meet the members of the clan. You may do so by calling on the Polemarch 305 Court Bldg., or the Keeper of Records, 690 University Ave. Signed, Maceo V. Littlejohn, Keeper of Records. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO MEET IN BROOKLYN Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 17—The National Equal Rights League, of which Rev. T. J. Moppins of St. Louis is president, will hold its 17th annual meeting in this city from October 21 to 24. The main object of the meeting is deliberation by the race itself on "How best to use Ballot Power of the Race to Secure Full Equality and Protection, and Unite on Race Demands." The platform of the lague is Race Patriotism, Non-Partisanship, Unity on Rights. A nation-wide organization of Citizens Equal Rights Committees is urged by the league. It is hoped that representatives from all parts of the country will be present at the annual meeting. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Clark are now residing in their new residence 3901 5th Ave. So. Republicans To Hold Monster Mass Meeting Prominent Man From Republic can Headquarters to Speak in Minneapolis The Hennepin County Colored Republican Club will present to the citizens of Minnesota on Wednesday night Oct. 29th, Attorney C. W. Calloway of Kansas City, Mo., one of the speakers from the National Colored Republican Headquarters in Chicago. Mr. Calloway is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the country, a great speaker and is a staunch Coolidge and Dawes supporter. This meeting under the auspices of the Hennepin County Colored Republican Club will be held at the Elk's Hall, corner Lyndale Ave., and 6th Ave. north Minneapolis at 8 p. m. Speakers representing all of the candidates on the republican state and county ticket will be present. Attorney B. S. Smith, president of Hennepin County Colored Republican Club will preside; L. C. Valle, secretary. Raymond, Cannon, chairman, speakers bureau and Phil Durden, chairman of meeting committee will assist. This meeting will be the biggest of the campaign, because the Negroes of Hennepin County under the leadership of the Hennepin County Club are rallying under the banner of Coolidge, Dawes, Schall and Christianson. Coe out and be convinced that the best and safest course for colored Minnesota is to vote for the Republican party on Tuesday, Nov. 4th. Colored Minnesota knows that Coolidge stands four square on all race questions and he is the man for the Negroes of this country. After analyzing the political situation, we have come to the conclusion that our best interests lie with the Republicans. This is the time for all race men to rally to the standard of the men we know will serve all of the people. So come out and hear Attorney C. W. Calloway, one of America's best colored speakers, tell you what the rest of the country expects of the Negroes of Minesota. Don't forget the date, Wednesday Oct. 29th, at 8 P.M., at Elk's Hall, corner Lyndale and 6th Ave., north. Laurence Erickson for District Court Clerk The citizens of Hennepin County should elect at this time a Clerk for the District Court who will conduct the office economically. The present clerk and his predecessors have retained the Naturalization fees as a personal emolument. At the request of the Commonwealth Club of this city the Grand Jury which adjourned on Sept. 6th was requested to investigate this office. The Grand Jury in their report to the Court requested the County Attorney to start a civil action against the present clerk and his predecessors, to determine what money should be recovered from the present clerk and his predecessors, which tends to show a virtual acknowledgment by the Grand Jury of misappropriation of these fees in the past. According to the amendment under Naturalization Laws, Section 13, as amended by act of June 25th, 1910, states that the amount of fee etc. is a total of $5.00. It further states: "The Clerk of any Court collecting such fee is hereby authorized to retain one-half of the fee collected by him in such naturalization proceedings." This must mean that the Clerk as an official and not as an individual should retain one-half of the fees to pay the expense of maintaining this work. The Federal Law does not state anywhere that the Clerk may convert the fees to his own personal use or that they may be considered as his property. Elect Laurence Erickson for this office, one who will turn over all fees into the County Treasurer, deposit all funds to draw the highest amount of interest and save the citizens of this county at least $20,000 per year. Able Commissioner Seeks Re-election MR. PED In the coming election our voters will notice the name of Frank W. Matson, candidate for re-election as Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner on the Republican Ticket. Our readers and many of our friends need no introduction to Mr. Matson. Preceding his election to his present office he was Commissioner of Public Safety. During that term of his administration Mr. Matson advocated, freely, justice to all regardless of their race, creed, or color. With every situation that confronted him (and they were numerous and varied) he dealt fair and square, never taking into consideration that he might be criticized by outsiders, his sole thought was fair play and justice. Just a year ago last May Mr. Matson was primary instrumental in having one of our men, Patrolman Homer Goins (who was temporarily suspended) reinstated and the ban of suspension removed with no reduction in his salary. This was accomplished through the efforts and influence of the Bulletin-Appeal and leading Dale and University Ave. merchants who appealed to Mr. Matson in behalf of Patrolman Goins. A motorist who had violated the traffic rule was arrested by Patrolman Goins; the former claiming that he would never be brought into court, if Goins succeeded in arresting him he would be suspended. The matter came up before Chief Sommers who immediately placed Goins on suspension. A rigid investigation was started which ended in the restoration of Patrolman Goins to the force, thanks to the splendid cooperation of Mr. Matson with The Bulletin-Appeal and Messrs. H. Egbert, Archie Cannon, Dr. Geo. Snyder, G. L. Peterson, A. W. Gostel, Ed. Wagner and James Webb who comprised the committee of merchants. A man of his calibre and principle surely deserves our support. let us re-elect him on November 4th by an overwhelming majority and show our appreciation for his loyalty. The Sunday Forum Annual Election Minneapolis' foremost civic organization, The Sunday Forum, held its annual election of officers on last Sunday at its regular meeting place, the Elk's Hall, 6th and Lyndale Avenue. The Forum paid tribute to its retiring president, W. C. Jeffrey, by unanimously electing him honorary president. Regular officers elected for the coming year are: president, Mrs. Fannie Shanks, vice-president, Charles Boswell, secretary, Miss Dorothy Sydnor, re-elected, assistant secretary, Mrs. E. V. Marshall, treasurer, Mrs. Hester Keys, re-elected, journalist, Fred Thomas, re-elected, historian, Chas. Sumner Smith, re-elected, critic, William Smith re-elected, Chairman, social service committee, Mrs. Susie Bogie. Present at this meeting was Mrs. Susan B. Evans, president, Minnesota State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Mrs. Evans made a brief talk, after which the Forum then presented Mrs. Evans as an honorary member of the Forum. During the past year, the Forum has made wonderful strides as a community force under the leadership of its retiring officers, and it is destined to make still greater progress under its newly elected officers. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS HUNDREDS JAM PILGRIM TO HEAR NOTED SPEAKERS HUNDREDS JAM PILGRIM TO HEAR NOTED SPEAKERS "Republican Party is The Ship All Else is The Sea," Say Orators Hundreds of people, many unable to get in, crowded Pilgrim Baptist Church to its capacity Thursday evening to hear Roscoe Conklin Simmons and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, National Republican Directors, speak. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Frederick Douglass Republican Club. Roscoe Conklin Simmons in an eloquent oration flayed the Democratic party and La Follettism. He said, "I believe in the Republican party because it believes in my citizenship. A man is known by the company he keeps and a tree by the fruit it bears. The Republican party gave me the opportunity to be what I am and I am not ungrateful. I stand with free speech upon my tongue because the Republican party put it there." Pacing back and forth the carpeted aisle of the church while his auditors followed him with their eyes he explained what the Republican party means to the colored people of the nation. He said that the G. O. P. administration in its attitude toward the Negro, followed closely the ideals of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Simmons lauded Theodore Christianson, Republican candidate for governor, as an able, fearless man who will uphold the rights of the Negro if elected, because he was the man who introduced Minnesota's anti-lynching law. The speaker commented on the Dyer bill, Walter Cohen and explained the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. "The record of the Republican party is a history of decency," said Mr. Simmons. "I am an American and always will be. The only hundred percent American is the Negro. I am interested in my people, their advancement and their progress. I have your, cause in my hands. Trust me—I'll Immediately following Mr. Simmons, Miss Hallie Q. Brown was introduced by Mrs. Ruth Grice who presided at the meeting. Miss Brown in an eloquent speech picked flaws in the Democratic party and asked what it had ever done for the colored race; denounced La Follette and the party back of him. In part she said, "If you are not registered you are not a citizen, if you are not a voter you are not a citizen, you are a carpet-bagger and the sooner you get out of the country the better it will be." In commenting on the Democratic party and John W. Davis the speaker said, "A candidate is backed by his party and notwithstanding what Mr. Davis says he has to carry out the platform of his party." "Teach your children every right and privilege in the country. Train your children to defend your flag. Support the Republican party that has put you where you are today, and vote for Coolidge and Dawes," concluded the speaker.

Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. THE PHILOSOPHY OF LA FOLLETTE Senator La Follette, as the campaign draws to a close, continues to misrepresent the facts in the existing state of things governmental. In his usual manner, born of years of experience, he practices his cunning art of deception by charging J. P. Morgan & Co., The Standard Oil Corporation, the railroads, Wall Street and the "big interests", with bringing about hard times for the farmer, the small manufacturer and laborer,—even to the wreckage of small banks. With abandonment of the truth he deludes the unthinking masses who believe in his philosophy and look upon him as a veritable God. It is unthinkable to believe that there are men and women of average intelligence, in the light of all the available statistics upon every subject that touches the matter of economics, who will give heed to such drivel as the calamity howler pours out. Among the number we hear, are a small group of Negroes. Fortunately they are on a parity with the followers of other nationalities, and are of no importance. The group composing the La Follette following is a heterogeneous polyglot of malcontents who for the most part have failed to find their places in the affairs of the world and the business of living. Some are peeved because they have not been called upon either for their sage advice or an appointment to office. Others are revolutionary and want to overthrow the government even to the shedding of blood. The philosophy of Marx is but a wild delusion and has no place in any scheme of civilized government. The supporters of communism—the Reds of Russia, bolshevikism, anarchism are all marching under the banner of this American Rasputin. Isn't it time for reflection on the part of men and women inclined to the theories of La Follette, and the methods of the man, to use their own mentality by analyzing the situation? What is it all about? Simply one man playing upon the cupidity of thousands of others by cleverly distorting facts, arraigning class against class, to elevate himself into the presidential chair. "Representative government", "let the people rule", "I am convinced", are pet phrases of this demagogue. He was a strong advocate of the primary election law when governor of Wisconsin, but was the first to publicly violate it by advocating the election of a democrat to Congress after a majority in his own party had nominated a candidate unfavorable to the La Follette liking. He advocates the direct election of the presidency but that means nothing to the wily Robert if thru chicanery or otherwise he could throw an election into Congress. "Let the people rule", but do they rule in Bob's own state? Wisconsin is the orst boss ridden state in the history of the republic. Boss Quay and Boss Platt were petty novices as compared with the mastery of La Follette. He nominated himself for president, wrote his own platform, named his own delegates to his own convention, dictated its deliberation by long-distance telephone, then notified himself of having been selected as the Moses to lead in a third party for the deliverance of the down-trodden—God's patient poor. Back of La Follette stands the most aristocratic as well as autocratic body of labor in America,—the brotherhood organizations of railroads, seeking thru his election the gain of more power and authority. Like their leader, selfishness, is the motive. They care nothing if an increase in wage adds to the burden of the farmer or consumer in the way of higher tariff, both freight and passenger. Isn't it the height of imbecility to imagine that the aforesaid bankers and other interests whose success depends upon the general prosperity of the farmer, laborer, manufacturer and smaller banking industry, would cause their own destruction by doing the absurd things credited to them by La Follette? For pure buncombe it is about the limit. Colored Voters To Vote Against Robb Colored voters of Minneapolis should vote against Walter C. Robb, candidate for County Commissioner comprising the 4th, 5th, 8th and 13th wards of Minneapolis. At the present time Mr. Robb is a City Alderman and he is notable for his lukewarmness towards our group. It is a proven fact that he is a charter member of the most unspeakable organization in the country. We need not mention its name; all catholics, jews and colored people know it by reputation and name. Robb is the biggest enemy of our group in the City Council. To top all of this, this individual called an indignation meeting of the white citizens of a certain district to protest against one of our group's residence in the neighborhood.

WINTER Builders Hardware Paints, Oils, Glass and Sporting Goods Phone Dale 9113 613-University Ave.—St. Paul Letters to the Editor October 17, 1924 My interest in the revival of the weekly newspaper known as "The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal" and my enthusiasm over that event, prompt me to congratulate you, most heartily, upon the re-appearance of that newspaper. It has been a valuable aid in voicing the just demands of the American citizens who belong to the Negro race and has done much to advance their interests. The temporary suspension of the "Bulletin-Apeal" gave us all an opportunity to realize what was lost by the absence of a vigorous local advocate of Negro interests. Such interests are not different from those of the masses of the American people. It would not be necessary to make a special plea for the protection of the Negro race unless an unjust discrimination existed. What the Negroes and their humanitarian friends demand is not any special privilege but the recognition and preservation of the inalienable rights mentioned and forcibly asserted in the Declaration of American independence. Again congratulating you upon the revival of the "Bulletin-Apeal" and wishing for yourself and for this valuable journal great prosperity, I remain, Your sincere friend, John W.

PRESENT DAY POLITICAL LEADERS Pictured below are the active political leaders of Negro America. When President Coolidge began his campaign for reelection to the high office he now holds it was announced that the work would be conducted upon a business-like basis. It proved to be so in the selection of his white alces and it is equally so with the colored. The men and women who are now at the helm are there because of their peculiar ability to do what is expected of them, to give service that is fuller of science than of sentiment. These leaders represent the new order of things. Pictured in the circle in the center is Mr. William Clarence Matthews, Boston, Mass., the organizer of the Negro division of the Republican National Committee. He was born in Alabama and educated at Tuskegee and Harvard. At Tuskegee, he organized the first baseball and football teams to represent that institution. At Harvard he studied law and was a star football player. He has served as an assistant district attorney in the state of Massachusetts. His acquaintance with President Coolidge has been over a long period of years and his devotion to the President is the result of both warm personal admiration and a steadfast belief in that honesty, courage and straight-thinking which have made Mr. Coolidge generally popular. He has complete charge of Negro affairs in connection with the Republican party's campaign. At the right of Mr. Matthews is Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former president of the National Association of Women. Miss Brown's position among the colored women voters is similar to that of Mr. Matthews, she having complete charge of political activities touching the colored Republican women of the nation. Miss Inez Williams of Chicago, Ill., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. S. L. Rogers, 718 St. Anthony Ave. Miss Belle O'Shields, a graduate nurse of Old General Hospital, Kansas City, Mo., who has often visited her sister, Mrs. Roy Goins, has returned to the city and will reside here permanently.

St. Albans St. The High School Alumni Boys are practicing daily with the old pig skin and hope to give us a real live football game on or about Thanksgiving Day. Many of us enjoyed the game played by the University Boys, and the Alumni last Thanksgiving and we are glad to know that they will be in action this season, at Dunning field. Mrs. Edna Madison a trained nurse of St. Joseph, Mo., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Lee Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Shepherd have moved from 439 Rondo St., to 474 St. Anthony Ave. Mr. Chester Kennedy, 723 Sherburne Ave., sustained a slight injury to his ankle which laid him up for a few days.

Mr. Mason is the editor of the Blue Helmet, a soldiers' magazine. Below Mr. Mason to the right is Miss Jeanette Carter, Washington, D. C., in charge of publicity among colored women in the Eastern district.

Cullen, a colored student in New York University, has been awarded a second prize by the Poetry Society of American for a poem to be entitled "The Shroud of Color," which is to be published in an early issue of The American Mercury. This is the second such award to Mr. Cullen, who won the first prize in 1920, while he was still in De Witt Clinton High School, the award then being made by the High School Poetry Society, under the auspices of the Woman's Clubs. Mr. Cullen is the son of Rev. Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem Methodist Epicopal Church. He lives in New York City. My dear Mr. Howell: Let me add my congratulations to the many you have received on the re-issue of the Bulletin-Appeal. As one of the Minnesota Federated women I have had every reason to appreciate the loyal and generous support your publication has ever given the organized womanhood of the state. If we have not always manifested our obligation in a way to lend the support the paper so truly deserved, you may be sure the sudden end of the publication a few weeks ago has brought that fact sharply to mind—the future, I am sure will find us among its staunchest supporters.

This move has come about largely because of the action of a great many Negroes who have contributed and in doing so expressed the belief that as a contributor the Negro will be able to demand more recognition from the party chiefs than if he went up to the table a mere beggar. Contributions of one dollar or more are to be sought from every Negro citizen. Arrangements have been made whereby such money can be sent direct to the office of the auxiliary finance committee at 717 Florida Ave. N. W., Washington, D. C. Checks should be made payable to John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank and financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, who is also the treasurer of this finance committee. Letters may be addressed to either Mr. Hawkins or to Mr. Edward A. Baker, secretary of the committee at the above-mentioned address. W. H. C.
