Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. THE NORTHWESTERN FISK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BOLT NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS ANNUAL MEET NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS ANNUAL MEET Industrial Program Launched—T. Arnold Hill As Industrial Secretary. The National Urban League held its annual meeting at Greenwich House in Greenwich Village, New York City, on Thursday evening last, February 5. There were more than 100 guests at the special dinner held for the occasion. Representatives were present from many of the cities in which the league has developed work, including Atlanta, Philadelphia, Newark and other northern New Jersey towns, New York and Chicago, as well as far away South Africa. L. Hollingsworth Wood, President, presided and reports of work completed and planned were presented by T. Arnold Hill of Chicago, Jesse O. Thomas of Atlanta, Mrs. Harriet Shadd Butcher, Extension Secretary, and Charles S. Johnson, Director of the Department of Research and Editor of "Opportunity" magazine, and Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary. There were also talks by John Hope, President of Morehouse College and member of the League's Board; Miss Ruby Adendorff of South Africa, General Smuts' representative, who is studying prohibition in this country, and Miss Elizabeth Walton of the National Executive Board. A summary of Mr. Jones' report for the year is as follows: With the new organizations developed during the year, the league now has 42 branches and 26 local offices in as many cities, and five movements have been started in addition requiring workers who will be in office within the next month. "Opportunity" magazine, published by the league, has increased its circulation to ten thousand monthly and more than 100 public and university libraries are subscribers; 40 classes in sociology are using it for reference and research. There were 732 contributions to the "Opportunity" Literary Prize Contest and the league has furnished material for many magazine articles and reports on the Negro made by leading sociological students of race problems. Announcement was made of the launching of the league's National Industrial Program with T. Arnold Hill, Executive Secretary of the Chicago League, as the new Industrial Secretary. In this department an important investigation will be started to show the experience of Negro workers with trade unions. An effort will be made to open industrial opportunities for Negroes and to let Negroes know where they may most easily find work and good living conditions. Appointee Begins Duties in Minnesota Highway Department Appointee Begins Duties in Minnesota Highway Department Mrs. Mattie Gough, 767 St. Anthony Ave., who recently received an appointment at the State Capitol, began her duties in the Highway Department Monday, February 9th. The appointment which Mrs. Gough received was largely due to the relentless efforts of Messrs. H. J. Hadlich, Chairman of the Republican City and County Committee, and Charles H. Winter. It comes directly under the supervision of Secretary of State Mike Holm, who has proved to be a staunch friend by giving members of our group employment at various times. Mrs. Gough was quite active in city politics during the National campaign, being a member of the City and County Committee and president of the Frederick Douglas Club. She is a member of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, and is well known in Topeka, Kansas, where she lived before establishing her residence in St. Paul. BULLETIN-APPEAL The Great Emancipator A. H. Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, whose birthday anniversary was celebrated February 12. "The Chocolate Dandies" with Sissle and Blake Headed For Twin Cities "The Chocolate Dandies" with Sissle and Blake Headed For Twin Cities Call is Issued for Newspaper Men to Assemble at St. Louis Theater goers are rejoicing over the fact that those two famous stars, Sissie and Blake, are headed this way for a two weeks' engagement with their latest musical comedy success "The Chocolate Dandies," and a company of one hundred and twenty-five. Their engagement in the Twin Cities will begin Sunday, Feb. 22, at the Metropolitan Theater in Minneapolis. The following week they will open in St. Paul at the Metropolitan Theater on Sixth St. Last October Sissle and Blake visited the Twin Cities with their musical comedy "Shuffle Along" and the original company. They met with unparelleled success, the show being acclaimed by critics as the best offering of the season. Many of the favorites, aside from the stars, Noble Sissle and Euble Blake, are returning. Among them are Lew Peyton, who essayed the role as the mayor of Jimtown in Shuffle Along, our foremost American comedian; Miss Lottie Gee, prima donna; Miss Mildred Smallwood, inimitable toe dance; the Four Harmony Kings, with William A. Hahn in his special number "Old Black Joe"; Ivan H. Browning, Valada Snow, Inez Clough, that real eccentric chorus girl; Josephine Baker, who halls from St. Louis, Joe Smith, Howard, and others. The famous beauty chorus and symphony Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 13.—B. J. Davis, President of the National Negro Press Association, issued a call from his office here to-day formally calling together the members of the association in the annual session at St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 18-20 inclusive. The call is as follows: To the Editors and Publishers National Negro Press Association. My dear Brothers: The annual meeting of the National Negro Press Association will convene in St. Louis, Mo., February 18-20 inclusive, and we earnestly hope to have a full attendance of the Quill Drivers present. There is much good we can do and accomplish one for the other if we could get together and ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 orchestra, with Eubie Blake at the piano, complete the ensemble. Jazz Striking Feature. Jazz is a striking feature of The Chocolate Dandies, with Eubie Blake who composed the music directing the big symphony orchestra, and Noble Sissle, the other star, jazzing through songs and dances and scoring a big hit. The production is pretentious as to settings and costumes. There are a number of beautiful scenes; the singing and dancing numbers set to tuneful melodies are equally as good as those of Shuffle Along. Some of the song hits are "A Million Little Cupids in the Sky," "Jassamine Lane" and "The Slave of Love." The race track scene makes way for the principal comedian, Lew Peyton. It also makes a feature of the most exciting race staged since the charlots rattled gloriously under the spot light in Ben Hur. "The Chocolate Dandies" justly ranks among the big musical comedy successes on Broadway, where they held forth at the Colonial Theater for a number of months. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales in New York, Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle entertaines him with several specialty numbers at the Cosden home at Port Washington just before he left for Canada. have a common understanding, and I beg to insist in the interest of us all, that we attend the meeting. It matters not whether you are members or not. Our cause is common and we would be very glad to have you present. Let us hear from you, and if you cannot be present, will you give us your moral and financial assistance by sending to Henry Allen Boyd, Corresponding Secretary at Nashville, your membership fee. Membership fee, $2.50 per annum; admission fee $5.00. With the hope that you will be present, I am. B. J. Davis, President. A tentative program for the sessions has also been submitted for the approval at the opening session as mollows: John M. Leonard AddressesForum at Sunday Meet Speaker Pays Tribute To Race Leaders, Lincoln and Washington The Forum of the N. A. A. C. P. met last Sunday at Little Pilgrim. Quite an enthusiastic crowd attended. Mr. John M. Leonard addressed the Forum on "The American Foundation." Folders were passed through the audience, furnished by Mr. Leonard, which contained "The Spangled Banner" by the audience claration of Independence. After the singing of "The Star Spangled aBnner" by the audience Mrs. Dovie Welsh rendered two beautiful solos, which were highly appreciated. St. Paulites, not having heard Mrs. Welsh for some time, were delighted with the rendition of her selections. Mr. Leonard's address was highly instructive, showing the many attempts to eliminate the third stanza of the National Anthem, and to eliminate many other American ideas with a tendency to inculcate British patriotism. A fine tribute was paid to the leaders of our race, to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Mr. Leonard also stated that he had never heard the National Anthem so well rendered as it was by the audience present. Prof. Wm. A. Weir played several selections on the Piano at the opening of the meeting. Member of Minn.Music Teacher's Association Mrs. Harriet G. Hall has been admitted as a member of the Minnesota Music Teachers' Association. She is probably the first one of our group in the state to receive this honor. Mrs. Hall has also successfully passed the examination for the "Progressive Series of Piano Instruction," and is recognized by the editors as a duly authorized teacher. Mrs. Hall is now conducting classes in sight reading, rhythm and ear training. "The Cotton Pickers" At 7th Street Theater Blackface comedians, presenting "The Cotton Pickers," a musical sketch, showing the southern colored men at work and play in days of long ago will be the headline attraction at the Seventh Street theater next week. Mickey and Elisie McGarry are featured members of the burnt cork company. Others in the cast are Bert Coleman, Ray Kelly, Walter Swartz and Peter J. Smith. Other acts include Teck Murdock and Iris and Helen Kennedy, late of "Broadway Brevities," who present a cycle of comedy songs and dances in a mirtful skit which they call "At the Theater"; Jessie Hayward, assisted by Lillian Norman, Leon Hahn and "Props," in "Air Castle Kate," a playlet of stage life; Misa Virginia and company, who offer rural characterizations; George L. Hayes and Monroe Lockwood, character comedians, in "Oh Baby," a comedy skit by Paul Gerard Smith; and William Selbina and Jeanetta Grovini, who call their novelty act "Follies of Vaudeville." The feature picture will be Fred Thomson in "Thunderhold Hoofs," a western thriller. W. Squire-Neal was elected president of the Frederick Douglas Club at their last meeting. A full list of the newly elected officers will appear in next week's Bulletin-Appeal. MARCUS GARVEY BEHIND BARS OF ATLANTAPRISON MARCUS GARVEY BEHIND BARS OF ATLANTAPRISON U. N. A. I. Head Arrested Aboard Train Begins Five Year Term. In the custody of several United States deputy marshalls, Garvey was taken from New York Saturday, Feb. 7, to Atlanta, after losing his appeal for a new trial last Monday in the United States circuit court of appeals. And according to his conviction in June, 1923, must serve the sentence on a charge of using the mails in a scheme to defraud in connection with the sale of worthless stock in the Black Star steamship line. Arrested Aboard Train. As a New York Central train from Detroit rolled into the 125th st. station at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, several deputy marshals, under the leadership of James Amos, a member of our group and former bodyguard of the late Colonel Rooseveit, boarded the train and held it up until they made a search. While going through one of the Pullman cars Amos sighted Garvey comfortably beside his wife. Smilingly Amos informed Marcus that he was under arrest and handcuffed him to one of the marshals. Great commotion then took place and Garvey flew into rage. He protested bitterly, but the deputies followed out their instructions and he was hurried to the Tombs, where he was placed behind the bars. Mrs. Garvey was left standing at the station with the baggage. The "honorable African president" forgot to bid her goodbye. She wept and made a brave effort to persuade the deputies to "listen to reason." But it did no good. Before being sent to Atianta Garvey pleaded with Judge Hand to allow him to remain here three days at liberty, pending application his attorney would make the United States supreme court for a writ of certiorari. This was denied him. He was also denied the permission to make a speech. The Cuban government at Havana is said to have seized the Booker T. Washington, one of Garvey's ships which was recently acquired under the flag of the Black Cross steamship company. This ship, captained by a white man and a few other officers, left New York a few weeks ago with several passengers on a cruise of the West Indies and Panama. The police at Havana claim that the municipal court had placed an embargo on the departure of the Booker T. Washington from port to satisfy claims against the Black Star line, of which Garvey was the head. The financial condition of Garvey's new enterprise, the Black Cross Steamship line, is said to be much more favorable than the defunct Black Star line. Clifford S. Bourne, chancellor of the U. N. I. A., showed several certified checks to the amount of $101,831, which he said had been paid the Panama Railroad company for the Booker T. Washington. During Garvey's absence the work of the association will be conducted by the "big three." According to latest reports, they are: William H. Sherrill, assistant president general; G. E. Carter, secretary general, and Clifford S. Bourne, chancellor. Garvey arrived at Atlanta Prison in custody of United States marshals Sunday, February 8, and is now domiciled safely from his worldly troubles. 3000 HAVE WHITE WIVES IN CHICAGO Oklahoma City, Okla.—Over 3,000 colored men in Chicago have white wives to whom they are regularly married, declared Lucy Trigg-Davis, white, Imperial lecturer of the women of the Ku Klux Klan, in a lecture here. She advocated capital punishment for whites who married colored. On Trustees Board of Fisk University M. Hon. J. C. Napier, prominent Negro attorney, ex-exregister of the U. S. Treasury, city councilman and trustee of Fisk University, makes statement. Race Relations Meetingat Y.W. Well Attended Race Relations Meetingat Y.W. Well Attended Saturday Evening Group To Hold Valentine Party This Evening. The race relations program given at the main Y. W. C. A. last Sunday was well attended; the program was very interesting, and an excellent spirit prevailed. Rev. James Wallace of Macalester College spoke on "Jesus" Teachings on the Race Question." Rev C. B. Burton of Memorial Baptist Church spoke on "Some Negro Achievements in America." At the committee of Management meeting held at the branch Monday afternoon the following officers were elected and chairman assigned: Branch Chairman, Mrs. Zula Tandy; Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Mary Griffin; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Maude Brooks; Finance Committee, Mrs. John Kelly; Membership, Mrs. A.

Wilson; Community Studies, Mrs. Lola Edwards. Mrs. Amy Hall King has resigned as Branch Secretary, the resignation to take effect March 1st. Mrs. King will continue in her work, however, until a new secretary has been assigned by the National Bureau in New York City. The Saturday Evening Group under the direction of Miss Rachel Gooden is holding a Valentine Party this evening. The second annual Martha Washington Silver Tea will be given Monday afternoon, Feb. 23, at the Branch. Invitations are being issued, and an attractive program is being arraigned. The Students' Lyceum will have its regular meeting at the Branch at 4:30, Sunday afternoon. There will be an interesting discussion. All High School and University students are cordially invited to attend. WILLS READY TO MEET EITHER JACK OR TOM Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 11.—Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight, is willing to meet either Jack Dempsey or Tom Gibbons, or to participate in proposed elimination bouts for the world's championship, he announced here today. "I have been waiting three and a half years for a chance at the world's heavyweight title," Wills said. "Dempsey has said that he would meet me and then he has said he wouldn't, and no one can tell just where he stands. I believe I am entitled to a chance and I am willing to meet either Dempsey or Gibbons or the winner of their proposed bout." Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS POLICE QUELL OUTBREAK OF MALE STUDENTS POLICE QUELL OUTBREAK OF MALE STUDENTS Board Member Blames Du Bois and New York Alumni for Outbreak. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13.—Following rowdy demonstrations against the school administration by the male students, more than a score of police officers were rushed to the campus of Fisk University at 11:30 o'clock, Wednesday night, to quell a riot there. The officers had little difficulty in restoring order and placing more than 100 students under arrest, but it was after 3:00 o'clock this morning before President F. A. McKinzie had interviewed the recalcitrants and extracted from them promises to either obey the rules of the school, catch the next train out of town, or be prosecuted on a charge of rioting. All of the students with the exception of five who were arrested at the outbreak of the riot and sent to the police station agreed to abide by the rules of the school in the future. The cause of the origin is of no recent date, but, according to statements by members of the (aculty and students, although their reasons are slightly different, it dates back almost five years. Napler Makes Statement. J. C. Napier, for fifty years a member of the Nashville bar, one of the foremost representatives of the Negro race in the South, who was Register of the United States treasury, under appointment of President Taft, and former city councilman for years, is a member of the board of trustees of Fisk, and made the following statement: "The trouble which has come to the front," said he, is due to the activity of Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, and a group of sympathetic alumni in New York City. He is at the head of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored Peoples, with headquarters in New York, and is editor of The Crisis, a magazine devoted to the cause. He is a graduate of Fisk, a man of ability, fine writer and fluent speaker; but a fanatic upon the race issue. He is well recognized as an extremist upon that subject. "He is anti-Southern in his attitude. He made war on Booker Washington when he was struggling to put Tuskegee on its feet. He said that Washington was giving too much prominence to industrial education and not enough to classical. "Last June at commencement Dr. Dubois, much to the surprise of everyone, made an attack upon the administration of Dr. McKenzie, the president of Fisk. He assailed it from several viewpoints. He wants the control of the institution turned over to the alumni; he claimed that President McKenzie is too strict in his rules for personal conduct and interferes with the freedom of move (Continued on page 4) E. A. CARTER ADDRESSES WOMEN AT UNIVERSITY Secretary E. A. Carter of the Urban league addressed a mixed group of women students at Shevlin hall, University of Minnesota, Monday noon upon problems affecting the school girls at the university. An interracial body, designed to promote better feeling between members of both groups, was solidified as a result of the meeting and will carry out its activities under the direction of the university Y. W. C. A. Mr. Carter pointed out the large part played by ignorance in the foenting of race friction and disturbance. He urged that the students measure up to the very highest traditions of the university and that the same broad spirit of fellowship that had led to the formation of such a group be preserved in the later life of its members.

SOCIAL CASTE AMONG NEGROES The social status of the American Negro has undergone considerable change since the abolishment of slavery. Before, and during the Civil War, there were two classes, known as "freed" and "contraband" Negroes, the latter being the term given by General Butler to the slaves whose service was impressed by the confederate forces. The freedman represented a class whose liberty had been conferred by an act of the owner, or the result of purchase by the slave, himself, due to his own energy and thrift. As a consequence he had the right to hold property, real and personal, to engage in business pursuits, or hire his service to others for a monetary consideration. The freedman had the opportunity to acquire learning and become skilled in the trades. These limited rights were protected by statutes and resulted in building up a system of social aristocracy. It also gave him an advantage over his brother enthralled in the bondage of slavery. For many years this puerile idea prevailed in almost every part of the country by this privileged class, and, indeed, was carried to the extreme limit in the cities of the east and northwest long after the abolition of slavery. The rapid advancement of those who had been repressed in the acquirement of both education and wealth, had much to do with breaking the barriers erected by the favored class. In fact, the progeny of the former has outstripped the latter in the race for progress and achievement. However, the custom left a blight upon the race that has been transmitted to the present generation. We find, in cities especially, an inclination among the race to be "exclusive"—ne plus ultra. The so-called select few, "holier than thou" who enjoy the empreal social atmosphere, require the possession of wealth and literacy as the standard of eligibility to membership. A man is judged by his character and worth to the community where he resides, regardless of occupation or the advantages of education. It matters not what position he fills, whether it be high or low, as long as he fills it with fidelity and ability. Education is much desired, when accompanied with common sense as a balance, but there are things in life of greater importance to mankind. Rightful service in whatever we undertake to do, thoughtfulness of the welfare of others, the spirit of brotherhood and the reverence for the Fatherhood of God, are things worth while and determine the status of true manhood. THE WORK OF THE URBAN LEAGUE The report of the National Urban League, at its annual meeting held recently in New York City, and published in this issue of the Bulletin-Appeal, is most gratifying. From an idea formed by a small but progressive group of men and women it has grown in a few short years to gigantic proportions. It is proving its right to existence by the helpful service it is rendering the race. This unique work is being carried on by earnest men and women of the race—students of sociology—with commendable ability and zeal. With the N. A. A. C. P., to guard the sacred rights of citizenship, decent treatment and the administration of justice by the law courts, and the National Urban League to look after industrial activity and the general welfare of the race in city life—in order that it may find honest employment at a fair and reasonable wage—the American Negro is placed upon a sound footing and his future is assured. These two useful organizations have been of more practical benefit in advancing the cause of the Negro in this country in the short time of their existence than all the unorganized efforts of race leadership since the right of suffrage was conferred upon him. The truth is, the race has outgrown leadership, either single or group. It thinks and acts as an individual, en masse. The method of procedure with the league is peculiar. It requires consummate tact. It cannot demand in bombastic language the things it seeks to accomplish. It must use the utmost diplomacy by an appeal to justice and reason. It is out on the firing line of racial prejudice and is overcoming it thru strategy and good marksmanship. That its work is effective is due to the insistent preparatory training its force is subjected to before assignment to an important post is made. The National Urban League is entitled to the gratitude of the race, and should have its co-operation and financial and moral support. CONVICTION OF MARCUS GARVEY Marcus Garvey lost his appeal to have the verdict of the court that found him guilty of using the United States mails to defraud in the sale of stock in the Black Star Navigation Company. The defendant announces his intention to carry the matter to the court of last resort—the United States Supreme Court. We are too far removed from the influence of Mr. Garvey and the evidence as appeared in the press is too vague for us to form an opinion on the guilt or innocence of the defendant. However, we believe Mr. Garvey erred when he refused to employ counsel for defense. We do not agree with Marcus Garvey's scheme to establish an empire in Africa, yet, for all of that, Garvey may possess a vision of universality far greater than we are able to penetrate. THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLSTIN APPEAL Who can say that he is altogether wrong? From our standpoint we have the solution of the problems of the American Negro, whose destiny must be worked out in this country, where conditions are more favorable than in fever stricken Africa. Garvey is not an ordinary man. He has a large following who have faith in his integrity, in spite of his conviction. That he has accomplished what he has under such adverse conditions proves conclusively his ability to lead regardless of the fact that he has the co-operation of not more than twenty-five per cent of the Negroes in America. Gleanings from Our Exchanges SYMPATHETIC WHITE FRIENDS The colored citizens of Savannah are blessed by having a sympathetic set of white friends. In their friendship they are sincere. In some cases sympathy is shown from a mercenary point because the sympathizer is receiving returns therefrom, but not so among these white friends we have in mind. For instance last week the remains of a colored woman who for many years had worked for a prominent white family before going north, were brought to the city for interment. Two of our prominent white citizens, who are busy men, left their office and met the remains at the station. What compelled this? Only that true friendship that extends from a real southerner to one of us who proves true to our trust and faithful in the discharge of our duties. The Tribune is always proud to do honor to these friends.—Savannah Tri- Americanization Series The Bulletin-Appeal will publish, each week, biographies and auto-biographies of men and women of the race who have contributed something worthwhile to the history of our common country. The object of these articles is to acquaint the youth of the race, both native born and alien, with facts that are not to be found in the average school history. There are in the United States a large number of aliens of the colored races. The immigration laws limit the number of whites of each nationality, forbids orientals, but permits the darker races to enter without restrictions. This fact is due, no doubt, out of deference to the American Negro. It devolves a duty, however, upon the race to prepare the new comers for American citizenship. That they may know America better we present the biography of Harriet Tubman—Abolitionist and Philanthropist. HARRIET TUBMAN Harriet Tubman was born in slavery about 1815; she died at Auburn, N. Y., March 10th, 1913. She escaped from her master's plantation in Maryland when about 25 years of age, visited Garrison, Brown, and other Abolitionists and became an active promoter of the "Underground Railway." She first rescued her parents, and during the two decades before the Civil war, made repeated journeys to the South and brought a total of 400 or more of her race to the North and Canada. During the war she served with distinction as a scout with the Massachusetts troops and guided Colonel Montgomery in his memorable expedition into South Carolina. By the friendly help of Secretary Seward, she was enabled to make her home at Auburn, N. Y., after the war, and there soon became engaged in philanthropic service in behalf of the poor and aged of her race. Her efforts led to the "Foundation of the Harriet Tubman Home for Indigent Negroes," to which she gave personal oversight until 1908. She married in the South in early life a man named Tubman, who died, and later married Nelson Davis. Harriet Tubman's service to her race and country are without parellet in like achievement by any member of her sex in the history of the world. Her busy helpful life and innate modesty, precluded her from writing an autobiography, even tho importuned from time to time by her friends to do so. When hatred and prejudice has spent its force and the era of brotherly love has taken possession of the American mind, Harriet Tubman, will be accorded her rightful place in history, along with Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, Frances Willard, Susan B. Anthony, and the galaxy of other notable women. It is to be hoped that from the pen of some one of the race a biography of Harriet Tubman will soon issue and be given to the world. Her deeds of self sacrifice and daring are an inspiration to the youth of the race. It is very gratifying to note that St. Paul boasts of a civic league, among our group, that bears the honored name of this splendid character. State Federation Colored Women's Clubs Hold Mid-Winter Meeting State Federation Colored Women's Clubs Hold Mid-Winter Meeting Mr. E. A. Carter of the St. Paul Branch of the Urban League, spoke on "The Negro in Industry, and gave some startling figures obtained from the U. S. Census Report showing the efficiency of the women of the race as workers in every line of endeavor. The Minnesota Federation of Colored Womens' Clubs met in regular mid-winter session Monday, Feb. 9, at the Phyllis Wheatley House, Minneapolis. After an executive session held in the house parlors in the forenoon, a luncheon was served for the attending delegates, members and friends. Attorney Geo. DeVaughn followed Mr. Carter in a brief address on the subject of industrial occupation. Mr. Raymond Cannon, National President of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, gave a resume of the struggle of the race to obtain education, and pleaded for united action to reach the goal of full and wholesome manhood. Mrs. Jessie Williams, Duluth, read an interesting paper on "The Negro in Poetry. Mrs. K. Smith rendered a vocal solo. Mrs. Kathryn L. Smith, the only remaining member who was present at the organization of the State Federation twenty years ago, was presented with a pearl bracelet, the clasps of which were set with her birth stones, by her compeers, as a reward for her constant devotion to the cause and her valuable help in its upbuilding. The morning session was presided over by Mrs. Susan B. Evans, state president. Mrs. Robert A. Van Hook, chairman of arrangements presided at the luncheon session. At the afternoon session Mrs. Evans read her report and addressed the meeting on the urgent needs of the organization, its objects and aims, which was received enthusiastically. Madames Sellers and Smith presided at the tea tables during the social hour at the close of the afternoon session. The meeting was one o f the most successful ever held. The Bulletin-Appeal regrets that lack of space makes it impossible to give minute details as to all who participated. the program, judging from the generous response of telephone calls and telegrams received by WCCO. INTERESTING PROGRAM BROADCAST SATURDAY Local artists of our group had the distinction of being the first to broadcast over the Saturday afternoon program of WCCO. An exceptionally fine program was given by Mesdames Hattie Oliver, soloist; George-Hamilton, accompanist; Sidney Williams, pianist, and George Hamilton, baritone soloist. The radio fans were highly pleased with GIVEN TWENTY YEARS FOR ATTACK ON GIRL Horse Cave, Kye—Edgar Hart, 26, white, was sentenced to 20 years, imprisonment after he had been found guilty of abducting and attacking 12-year-old Mary Whitesides, colored. Hart is married. Leslie Lawrence Post No. 497, George Manning, Commander, 589 Arundel St. The weekly arrival of our Bulletin- Appeal, with its wealth of interesting articles and illuminating editorials, is an important episode in my sojourn in Nashville. In displaying it before clubs and other men and women making up the citizenry of Nashville, I feel a just pride in telling of our Business League publisher who makes such a sacrifice of time and funds from week to week to afford us this outstanding race paper. Outstanding not from the size of its circulation list, but from the character of its make up and the high moral tone of its news matter as I view it, in reading the current issues and considering many of its excellent past issues, the fearless attitude of its publisher, the high moral stand of its news matter- and editorial columns, the excellent make up of its pages from a standpoint of up-to-date journalism, the Bulletin- Appeal is the equal of any race journal. THE SIFTER Dear Editor: I read in this column last week a letter from one Chas. Wilson, asking about some of the "old boys" who railroaded back in the eighties, and the twin cities were the port of call. The writer was one of them. I, too, would like to hear of the whereabouts of many of them. There was "Lige" Richardson, and Tom Mason, Joe Cropper, Benny Day, George Wilson, Gus Hutchinson, Jimmie Hendley, George Barnett, and others. If any of the above mentioned, and also those spoken of by Mr. Wilson's survive, kindly write a letter for publication in the Bulletin-Appeal. There is no more potential factor in racial progress and advancement than the Negro press, and at no time has there been greater need for strong race journals than at the present. In sponsoring the publication of this excellent newspaper you are rendering a great service which will some day be adequately appreciated. It has a high place in the estimation of a host of our white citizenry who keep in touch with the best thought and achievement of our race group. JAMES H. THOMPSON, Moberly, Mo It is to be regretted that the Bulletin-Appeal does not receive the support it merits. It should go into every home, and be paid for. It should be adequately supported by those whose battles it is fighting, and this without prodding and urging, but as a matter of race pride. And I believe the time will come when this will be the case. Legion Notes Comrade David L. Stafford, who has been confined to the Aberdeen Hospital for the past six weeks, where he underwent an operation, has recovered and returned to his home, 658 St. Anthony Ave. Messrs. Wm. Tate of Minneapolis and Lloyd Davis, world war veterans, are confined at Aberdeen Hospital. Attorney Gorge Hamilton has been appointed to serve on the legal committee of the Ramsey County Central Committee. Attorney Hamilton is a former commander of Leslie Lawrence Post, and one of our progressive attorneys who easily merits the honor bestowed on him.

"I believe that it is the aim of the trustees and the administration to bring about peace and quiet in the management of the affairs of the university and to place it in line to be made a greater institution and a more powerful factor in the education of the colored youth than ever before. The late interference with this program is greatly to be regretted." CORONA STANDARD FOOD BANK KEYBOARD TYPEWRITERS All makes sold, rented and repaired.
