Saint Paul Minnesota SUPREME COURT TO ARGUE ON SEGREGATION Residential Rights of All Minority Groups in America at Stake, Says Body. James A. Cobb of Washington, counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. today announced at the Association' offices that the United States Supreme Court would probably hear argument next April in the case involving residential segregation of white and colored people in the City of Washington, D. C., and that a number of other cases are being held to await the outcome of the case now pending before the Supreme Court. Mr. Cobb also announced that he would be joined in argument before the Supreme Court by Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Bar Association; by Louis Marshall, counsel for Leo Frank and a member of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P.; by Henry E. Davis, former U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia; by Messrs. Arthur B. Spingarn and Herbert K. Stockton of New York and by William H. Lewis, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General, of Boston. "The case to come before the Supreme Court, on appeal from the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia," said Mr. Cobb, "is that of Mrs. Helen Curtis, enjoined from taking possession of property she had bought, on the ground that sale to a colored woman violated the terms of a property owners' agreement. "The residential rights of all minority groups in America will depend upon the decision rendered in this case. Already there has been an attempt to segregate Jews in Memphis. Similar attempts may be made against Catholics, Japanese and Chinese. "In Washington a group of white citizens in the Bloomingdale residential section have organized a committee to fight for this segregation against Negroes and at their organization meeting on October 24, collected a sum reported to be in excess of $1,000 for the prosecution of this and similar cases. "As illustrating the intense interest displayed in this litigation throughout the United States, I may cite a recent case before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Rose E. Johnson, et al. vs. Ellen Marie Robicheau, et al., in which the property owners were penalized $2,000 for each of two lots sold to colored people, the penalty being stipulated in a property owners' agreement. "The opinion delivered by Justice Hoehling sustains the imposition of the penalty, and cites as his precedent, the decision in the Helen Curtis case by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, which has now been appealed to the U. S. Supreme (Continued on Page 4) SOME OF THE WINNERS IN THE ELECTION Pittsburgh Pastor Here on Vacation P. Dr. H. P. Jones, former pastor of St. James' A. M. E.

Clayton, a young colored pharmacist, 1737 Van Buren St., the Bronx, New York, has recently been appointed manager of one of a chain of drug stores operated by the Liggett Company, according to announcement in the New York Age. The Liggett Company controls the largest chain of drug stores in New York City. The drug store under Mr. Clayton's charge is located at 8th Ave. and 130th St. The new manager of the Liggett Company's Harlem store has been in the organization's employ for a number of years, and has made an excellent record. Attorney-General Re-elected Tuesday M. CLIFFORD L. HILTON THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1924 FLORENCE MILLS HAILED A GENIUS BY N. Y. CRITICS FLORENCE MILLS HAILED A GENIUS BY N. Y. CRITICS Star of "Dixie to Broadway," Colored Musical Comedy, Praised by Critics. Leading critics of the New York newspapers could hardly find praise extravagant enough to lavish upon the genius of Miss Florence Mills, displayed in the new colored musical comedy, "Dixie to Broadway," which had its first performance at the Broadhurst, a leading Broadway theater, on the night of Wednesday, October 29. Believing that an artist like Miss Mills in achieving such a triumph is making a great contribution to her race, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has assembled the following tributes to Miss Mills from the New York critics: E. W. Osborn in the Evening World said in part: "A slender streak of genius, about five feet tall, born a shade or two South of the color line, sang and danced and played with all the emotions, at the Broadhurst theater, last night, and held at will a big audience of the mixed and different kind that wants every little while its fresh reue and wants it good. She was Florence Mills, the little genius "The sensation of two Continents,' featured in London in the recent season and headlined now in New York as the star of 'Dixie to Broadway,' a new all-color reue in two acts and a dozen scenes. Miss Mills is no narrow-guage genius. She is the lithe and nervous embodiment of the song and the sorrow, the poetry and the pathos, and the rich comedy of her race." Gilbert W. Gabriel in the Telegram and Mall: "Of course, the not so dark particular star of all this jamboree is Florence Mills. This sensational little personality, slim, jaunty, strung on fine and tremulous wires, continues to tease the public's sense of the beautiful and odd. There is an impudent fragility about her, a grace of grotesqueness, a humor of wrists, ankles, pitching hips and perky shoulders that are not to be resisted." Heywood Broun in The World: "The method of Florence Mills is like that of no one else. She does not precisely sing but she makes strange high noises which seem to fit in somehow with a rapidfire sort of sculpture. Sometimes the intent is the creation of the grotesque and then it fades into lines of amazing beauty. Now I have seen grace." EXTRA! Word has just been received of the death of A. S. Weber in Edgard, Louisiana. Mr. Weber was formally a resident of St. Paul for many years. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Roy of Chicago and Dr. Earl S. Weber of this city. Adelphai Club Celebrates 25th Anniversary Adelphai Club Celebrates 25th Anniversary It is a rare occurrence indeed in these days of numerous activities to note the existence of a splendid women's organization extending over a period of twenty-five years. However, such is true of the Adelphai Club, which celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary on Tuesday, October 28. Ever since the organization of this club, which is composed of twenty-five members, it has been a credit to the community and itself. Devoted to philanthropic work and carrying out an intensive program, this club has accomplished remarkable results. The parlors of Pioneer Hall, 588 Rondo St., were elaborately decorated for the occasion with autumn leaves and Kinnikinick berries. The club history was read by the president, Mrs. Alice Gooden. An excellent program was furnished by Mrs. Harriet Hall. Four charter members were present, Mesdames J. B. Johnson, Marshall Barksdale, Susie Walker and Alice Gooden. Representatives from many of the clubs in the Twin Cities tendered their congratulations on this memorable occasion. Renders Service. Mrs. Susan B. Evans of Duluth, Director of the Colored Women of the State for the Republicans, rendered valuable service to the party and proved herself a real leader. Political Head in State Campaign A. E. Fred D. McCracken. When Hon. Wm. T. Francis, Chairman of the Colored Division of the Republican National Committee, appointed Mr. Fred D. McCracken in charge of the Coolidge campaign among our group for Minnesota, a big job confronted Mr. McCracken. There was considerable LaFollette sentiment and those who were for Coolidge seemed unable to get anywhere due to factional differences. Mr. McCracken's first job was to bring about harmony within the ranks. He was not only successful in this respect, but succeeded in securing an overwhelming vote of our people for the Republican ticket. CAMPAIGN TO RAISE FUND FOR NELSON STATUE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE FUND FOR NELSON STATUE Memorial Committee Composed of Prominent Citizens Is Headed by Governor. The forthcoming campaign, November 17 to December 1, in Minnesota for a $50,000 fund for a memorial statue to the late Senator Knute Nelson, naturally brings his career and achievements into the public mind. There was considerable dissatisfaction among the Republicans of the district over the nomination of Van Hoesen in September, 1874. As a result, a mass convention was held a couple of weeks later, at which Knute Nelson was finally nominated after several ballots by just one vote over M. A. Wollan of Glenwood. Had Mr. Wollan (who still resides in Glenwood) received that odd vote instead of Mr. Nelson, who can say what effect it would have had on the latter's political career. At any rate, Mr. Wollan, a life-long friend and supporter of Senator Nelson, has frequently declared pleasure in that one-vote defeat because it made possible Nelson's subsequent long and illustrious career as a public servant. Knute Nelson's satisfactory service during his first term as Senator and his hold upon the voters of the district were amply manifest at the election two years later when he received 1,385 votes out of a total of 1,392 cast. Later in his career he went through several hard-fought and closely contested political campaigns but always was returned a victor. The most notable of these were: His first election to Congress in the famous Nelson-Kindred fight in the old Fifth district, his first election as Governor over D. W. Lawler and Ignatius Donnelly in 1892, and his first election as United States Senator over W. D. Washburn in 1895. Senator Nelson's convincing hold upon the voters throughout his long public career was not won by "pusy-footing" on political issues. On the other hand, he was beloved by his friends and admired by his political enemies for his courage, independence and unswerving loyalty to country and state. In honoring the memory of Senator Nelson by a suitable memorial, the people of Minnesota will in equal measure honor themselves and this land of opportunity where also in these days the door of opportunity is open to real men to rise from the ranks of the lowly to the highest places in life. Mr. C. P. Johnson, brother of Mr. J. B. Johnson, 863 Woodbridge St., and Mr. Ennis Johnson, 658 St. Anthony Ave., was in the city as their guest for two weeks. He returned on Monday to his home in Chicago, so that he could cast his vote for Coolidge and the Republican party. Rev. L. W. Harris, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, has returned from Chicago, Ill., Madison, Wis., and Duluth, Minn. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL AL Th ELEC Chairman of Elks Carnival Committee M. B. Clarence McCullough is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the annual Elks' Carnival, to be held at the Elks' Hall, Sixth and Lyndale Ave. No., on November 17 to 22. The Elks say it will be bigger and better. FRANCIS MAKES GOOD Mr. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., Chairman, Colored Division, Western Section of the Republican National Committee, made good, as his friends predicted, in securing 100% support of Coolidge by colored citizens throughout the West. Faced at the outset by almost insurmountable obstacles in the way of state controversy and disaffection, Mr. Francis evolved order out of chaos and created a victorious organization.

THEODORE CHRISTIANSON CTION Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS ALL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WIN WHOLE STATE Coolidge Easily Carries State— Christianson and Schall Elected. With the count by states already indicating command of at least 379 votes in the electoral college, President Coolidge was leading in virtually all states west of the Mississippi river and appeared likely to add West Virginia and Indiana blocks, to the Republican column. The totals which rolled in from Tuesday's voting indicated that more voters went to the polls than ever before in history. Republican leaders estimated that Coolidge had received about 18,000,000 votes; Davis 8,000,-000, and La Follette 4,000,000. The total of 30,000,000 would be 4,000,-000 in excess of the record set in 1920, and the 4,000,000 given La Follette approximates the strength polled by Theodore Roosevelt when he made his third party venture in 1912. Additional returns received from the election Tuesday in Minnesota served to add to the lead amassed by President Coolidge in Minnesota. When totals had been compiled from 815 prefects in the state, nearly one-third of the state, President Coolidge was in the lead by more than 33,500 votes over Senator La Follette, independent. Annual Style Show to Be Held Monday Annual Style Show to Be Held Monday The Style Show will be under the direction of Mrs. Edith Moore, who has successfully directed the previous shows.

In those states is the balance of power, 95% of the Negro states for Calvin Coolidge and Chas. G. Dawes.

Act also that the Negro electorate will be the distribution of those appointive positions in party. Act this because it is our right as American The American Negro has again played his part in winning an election for the great Republican party. In those states where the Negro vote is the balance of power, 95% of the Negro citizenship cast their votes for Calvin Coolidge and Chas. G. Dawes. Now that Mr. Coolidge is President by right and by the choice of the people, we hope that the vicious segregation and discrimination which was the heritage of the Wilson administration will be removed from every Department of Washington in which it has been established. We expect also that the Negro electorate will be fittingly recognized in the distribution of those appointive positions within the power of the party. We expect this because it is our right as American citizens.

Veiled threats have been made of impending disaster. Should that citizen exercise his legal and moral right to take possession of his home? We wish to inform these puerile and little minded folk that the Constitution of the United States, the laws of the state, the ordinances of the city and county confer upon every citizen, no matter what his race or creed, the inalienable right to acquire property. There are laws and there is adequate force to enforce them in the city of St. Paul. We hope it will not be necessary to invoke the strong arm of the law, for the protection of Negro citizenry, but if it is necessary, we will not only ask, but we will demand the proper protection of our rights. The Negro is an American; he is subject to all the responsibilities of American citizenship. He is taxed in order to maintain city, state and national government. At the behest of the government he has shouldered arms and bared his breast to the country's foes, and in return for that a vicious attempt is being made to coerce and intimidate one of our most distinguished citizens. Up to this time race relations in St. Paul have been splendidly cordial. The Urban League, an inter-racial organization, has done much to improve and strengthen them. But if future race relations are dependent upon our giving up what is not only a right, but a dearly won privilege, then these beautiful relationships are at an end. Constructive Program of Action Proposed by G.O.P. Committee My Fellow Americans: Early returns from the polls indicate that President Calvin Coolidge has been elected to succeed himself as Chief Executive of the Nation. The country is to be congratulated. I believe it to be my duty to express to the members of my group my deepest appreciation for their hearty support of me and my program during the campaign. My designation as leader in the fight was only incidental but the loyal co-operation I have enjoyed is positive proof that the right kind of leadership is all our people require to inspire them to follow. The election is at an end but our work as a group must be continued. My associates have made these happy results possible. Believing that next in importance to the election of President Coolidge is a constructive program of procedure dedicated to the civic and political improvement of the thirteen millions of colored citizens of America; And believing that the loyal support of the colored voters in this country registered at the polls on November 4th, 1924, justly entitled them to a recognition commensurate with the spirit of the New Day; And expressing our appreciation of the new spirit in the Republican party in its designation of a Negro candidate for the United States Congress; And accepting the new spirit of the Republican party as genuine, this program of constructive action is submitted for your consideration and approval: Representation in the Diplomatic Corps. leve that the ground lost in recent years should be restored to the colored citizen of the right through representation in as representatives to foreign governmentishment of a Stable Representative Gover We believe that the ground lost in recent years in the Diplomatic Corps should be restored to the colored citizens as a just recognition of the right through representation in the Consular Service and as representatives to foreign governments.

The inhabitants of the Virgin Islands are colored and the initiative for the institution of a proper government must come from the United States. The Appointment of an Under-Secretary of State. The appointment of a representative in the Department of State is a recognition by the United States government of its colored citizens which we can rightfully claim and with colored men in the Consular and Diplomatic Service, establishes a connection between these representatives and the government of a sympathetic and friendly nature. The Appointment of a Civil Service Commissioner: Much complaint, some of which is undoubtedly justified, has been made of the administration of affairs by the Civil Service Commission. As a practical measure the appointment of a colored man as one of the commissioners will allay the feeling of distrust and ought to enable a system of appointments and classifications to be arranged to the satisfaction of the colored employees and at the same time protect the government's interest in the maintenance of the standard of efficiency. The Appointment of an Assistant Postmaster General. The problems of the Postoffice Department are many and varied in many of the large centers of population; much criticism has been indulged in of the administration of this department. A representative in this department will be of aid to the government in the working out of general policies of operation lessening racial friction and the adjustment of difficulties brought about by racial contact in an equitable manner. Restoration of the Office of Registrar of the Treasury to the Race. One of the most heartening effects of the administration will be the appointment of a colored man to this office. It will have the tendency of restoring the confidence of the colored people in the administration and the Republican party. Appointment of a Minister to Haiti and a Consul General to Port Au Prince. The present conditions in Haiti, in fact in many of the countries inhabited by colored people, is in itself the strongest reason for urging that contact between this country and these people be established through the appointment of representative colored men from America. The aims and aspirations of the inhabitants of these countries can be best served and friendly co-operation maintained through the sympathetic understanding had by a representative of kindred race. Appointment of an Assistant Attorney General. The growing importance of this department's relationship to the status of the colored citizens of the Nation, in that it is intrusted with the maintenance and sustaining of the Constitutional questions arising incident to governmental functions, makes it imperative that we have representation in this office as a safe-guard. Representation Upon the Railroad of Review, Farm Credits Bureau and in the Department of Commerce. The large number of railroad employees working under varied conditions in the administration of the railroad system of the Nation should have a representative upon the board that devises, controls and directs this industry. The question of equal accommodations upon the railroads of the country is a subject that must be called to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission and a ruling secured prohibiting discriminations against our people. The operation of the Farm Credits Bureau has not been brought home to the Negro farmer, so that he may become a beneficiary of its operation. Certainly the large number of colored people dependent upon agriculture for livelihood and the resulting benefit to the government as well as to the farmers themselves, demands that every available facility be furnished in the interest of production in this industry. The back-to-the-farm movement must be preceded by conditions and surroundings conductive to permanency and security. Recognition of Our Women in the Public Service. We believe that since the enfranchisement of women, the colored woman has not received the recognition in and welcome to participation in the Public Service as her number, intelligence and equipment for Public Service demand.

We believe that the responsibility of bearing arms in defense of the government carries with it the right for recognition in the highest offices of the War Department. Certainly well-trained officers of the Army and the Navy of the same race as the soldier, will be productive of a higher degree of morale than can be possibly attained under any other system, and we believe that the policy enforced in the past of discouraging appointments to and attendance of our boys to West Point and Annapolis is an unjust reproach on the part of the government upon the most loyal class of its citizenship, and should be stopped. Appointments in the Veterans' Bureau and Regional Districts. The Veterans' Bureau is charged with one of the greatest humanitarian commissions this government has ever been called upon to perform, and it is urged that all the friendly co-operation of the Negro people in caring for its own, be drawn upon and used and that administrative offices in the Bureau at Washington and in the Regional Districts be appointed with a view of intelligently directing these forces for service to the colored veterans. Appointments in the Educational Department. The practical workings of this department in many of the states is so adjusted as to inflict injustices and discriminations by its operatives when the manifest intention of the law is to be beneficial. In many of the states where separate schools obtain, money is withheld from colored pupils and applied for the donation of white pupils in addition to the amount set aside specifically for such white institutions. This obtains in many of the states where separate schools are provided for by law. The appointment of a highly trained and practical educator in this department would provide against these injustices and at the same time would be an aid to the government and serve a need to the colored people of the Nation in their intellectual development. The 92nd and 93rd Divisions Be Reallocated as Combat Divisions. The colored people of the Nation have a right to expect of the government that its defenders, when called into service, be not used merely as laborers and that so long as the obligation to serve the Nation as war units is a responsibility which cannot be evaded, we insist that the representatives from our class of citizenship be recognized as Combat Troops in the service of the government. Abolition of Segregation in the Government Service. We feel that we need but call attention to the fact that this government cannot maintain its reputation as a democracy if segregation of citizens, because of color, is a governmental policy, and we urge the abolition of discrimination in all of the departments of governmental service. Approval of Liberian Loan. The obligations incurred by government during the war for a moment are too plain and just for a made by this government through ought to be kept and the principle broad, too big and too just to brew.

Clancy on Monday morning by Pilgrim Baptist Church: We, the congregation of Pilgrim Baptist Church, assembled in humble worship on this Lord's day, Nov. 2nd, appeal and protest to you. Whereas, the rights of law-abiding citizens have been placed in jeopardy, their property damaged, their lives threatened, and an increasing mob spirit prevails in the Maplewood district; And whereas, the Constitution of these United States guarantees to all its citizenry the right of life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness; And whereas, you have in our midst uttered by word of mouth your position on these principles: Therefore, be it resolved, that we do now appeal to you as Mayor of St. Paul for the protection of Mr. W. T. Francis in his property right, both morally and physically, if necessary, and for Mr. E. Starks in the right to conduct a legitimate business for service to a community that seems to desire that service. Thanking you in advance for favorable consideration and timely action, we are, Respectfully yours, PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH, Committee. Disfranchising Colored Voters Causes Arrests The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a report from Oklahoma showing that white registrars accused or trying to prevent Negroes registering had been arrested. The report to the N. A. C. P. says in part: "I want to thank you and other friends in the North for the aid and assistance given us in making the fight to have our group registered. We succeeded in getting six registrars in this county and four in Wagoner county arrested for conspiracy. It was a hard job to get this done, and but for the assistance of yourself and other outside friends, there would have been nothing done." The report further states that although the registrars may not be held by the local commissioner, they may be taken before the U. S. Grand Jury, "and we have another U. S. judge in this district, Judge Kennamer, who has already expressed himself as opposed to the kind of work these registrars have been putting over. The judge will call a United States Grand Jury and it is our purpose to get our witnesses before that Grand Jury. We succeeded in getting only a few hundred registered but will never give up the fight." Condemned to Death; Youth Saved Penalty Ellias Ridge, the thirteen-year-old boy condemned to death in Oklahoma for an alleged murder, has been saved from the death penalty. This news is contained in a report sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, by W. H. Twine of Muskogee, editor of the Muskogee Cimeter, attorney in charge of the case and a member of the local N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Twine states that he filed a brief in the case and that argument was had on October 6, in Oklahoma City. Twine's report continues: "Last evening I received a wire from Mr. Charles N. Harmon, the white lawyer who voluntarily came to my assistance, that the cause had been decided our way and the boy's life saved. Mr. Harmon stood by me loyally in the cause. He is a real white man, who believes in a square deal to all men. I want to thank the Association for the splendid help given me in this flight." The boy's sentence has been reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. sent $100 toward a local defense fund of $1,000 raised by the local N. A. A. C. P., co-operating with the Oklahoma Black Dispatch, and also sent $25 toward the expense of $90 for printing and filing briefs. Much of the balance of that sum was raised by Dr. A. Baxter Whitby, then president of the Oklahoma City branch, N. A. A. C. P. Mr. W. T. Francis, chairman of the Western Division of the Republican Committee, arrived Friday from Chicago, Ill. J.

WILLIAM 63 East Fourth St. DEALERS IN KOPPERS COKE, COAL AND GENUINE PETRON --- --- A Correction In the case of Mrs. Gertrude M. Moore against Mr. Robert I. Moore, the note which was published in last week's edition of The Bulletin-Appeal was somewhat inaccurate and misleading. There was no dispute whatever over the property located at 3741 Clinton Ave., therefore there was no decree made by the court regarding this home, it having been purchased and furnished by Mrs. Moore with her own individual funds. The evidence showed that Mrs. Moore bought the lot located at 2511 Jefferson St. Northeast, and assisted in providing the money for the erection of the home on this lot, consequently the court granted her a one-half interest in this property. Each party in this case was asking a divorce from the other. At the conclusion of the case, Judge Baldwin denied Mr. Moore a divorce, and expressed himself as not being satisfied with Mrs. Moore's claim for a divorce. However, after taking the case under advisement for nearly two weeks, he granted Mrs. Moore a divorce, without allowing her alimony, suit money or attorney's fees. The decisions of the court were perfectly satisfactory to Mr. Moore. GEO. G. DeVAUGHN, Attorney for Mr. Moore Clifford Hawkins Buys Pool Room In the largest business transaction that one of our group has figured in recently, Clifford Hawkins, well known Minneapolis, acquired the largest race pool and billiard room in the Northwest, in a deal involving $3,000. Mr. Hawkins' place, which has not been definitely named, is located in the Kistler building under the Elks' Hall at 637 Sixth Ave. No., Minneapolis. Seven pool tables and one billiard table in a well lighted and newly decorated room, together with cigar and soft drink department, make "Clif's" place the most ideal pool room in the Twin Cities. In the near future Hawkins plans a big pool tournament. "Clif," as he is called by his friends, says that he intends to find out who the champion pool player of the Twin Cities is. The Bulletin-Appeal is always glad to extend its best wishes and congratulations to the new colored business man. So best wishes, Mr. Hawkins.

Mr. Owen Howell, Publisher, Northwestern Bulletin-Apeal, From late returns there seems to be no doubt that Coolidge and Dawes carried Minnesota by a very large vote. The colored citizens of Minnesota played a very important part in the Minnesota campaign this fall and rallied strongly to the support of the Republican party. The consistent and effective manner in which the Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal placed the issues of the day from the Republican viewpoint before our group rendered valuable service to the cause.

It has put Castoria down your throat, left bristles in your gums and then came along with a Rubberset and took them out. It has put the Pyrodent Pebeco, and Pepsodent in your teeth. Go anywhere you want to, do anything you wish, and advertising has had a hand in it, absolutely. And then some people ask: "Does Advertising Pay?" Yes It Does, and now we ask you Does your merchant advertise in the Bulletin-Appeal? Spend your money in an appreciative market. CALIFORNIA STUDENT TO HEAD COSMOPOLITAN CLUB Los Angeles, Calif.—Leon Whitaker, a young student of the University of California, southern branch, was elected president of the Cosmopolitan club, a campus organization of the university students. The club was organized about two years ago by Miss Dasy Law, a Chinese student. Mr. Kawai, a young Japanese student, was the first president of the organization, which affords the students of all races an opportunity for self expression and to set forth the different views and habits of their respective races and countries. Mr. Whitaker, who is also an officer of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, believes that the Cosmopolitan clubs of the various schools of the state, through their association of cosmopolitan clubs, afford a practical means toward world peace. And that the students of today as world leaders of tomorrow will have a better understanding of race relations and the proper incentive for a satisfactory adjustment. His only regret is that so few students of our group join the organizations. Monday evening, Nov. 10th, the Kingston girls will present their semi-annual Style Show and Review at the newly decorated South Side Auditorium, 12th Ave. So. and Third St., Minneapolis. This event, which is staged twice a year, always provides one of the most entertaining and delightful features of the amusement season. It is made possible largely through the interest of the Minneapolis store of the Askin & Marine Co., managed by William McKinnon, a real live executive whose known interest in the welfare and various activities of our group has made many friends for the Askin & Marine Co. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Raymond, 654 Rondo St., gave a prettily appointed dinner party on Monday evening in honor of Mr. Robert Richaud of Seattle, Wash. A color scheme of yellow and white was carried out in the decorations, place cards and favors. Covers were laid for twelve guests. Twin City well wishers and friends of the Bulletin-Appeal are planning on turning out en masse at the Grand Testimonial entertainment to be given on Thanksgiving evening at Union Hall, Kent and Aurora Ave. The Social and Literary Society of Pilgrim Baptist Church met on last Monday at the home of Mrs. Mary Harris, 719 St. Anthony Ave. Governor Preus has designated Sunday, November 9, as "Forget Me Not" Day as a tribute to the World War veterans. PUBLISH SUBSCRIBER'S OPINIONS IN PAPER In many of the leading journals space is accorded its readers to give expression to sentiment along any legitimate lines tending to further local civic conditions. Although this is a very interesting feature not many race journals give attention to it. With a view to adding to the recent., awakened interest in the Bulletin- Appeal, and in order to afford the citizens of the Twin Cities a medium of expression, we will, beginning with the next issue, invite through the columns of this paper expressions of subscribers relative to improvement of civic conditions and racial and inter-racial betterment.
