Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. THE NORTHWESTERN MINNESOTA BULLETIN-APPEAL Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium Established To Secure Justice and Equality FOURTH YEAR, NO. 46 THE "CHOCOLATE DANDIES" TO BE AT MET SUNDAY Sissle and Blake to Delight Metropolitan Patrons With New Show. A theatrical announcement of prime importance is the forth-coming engagement of Sissle & Blake, and their "Chocolate Dandles" at the Metropolitan, Minneapolis, week beginning tomorrow, Sunday night, February 22nd. With snap and zest and to the tune of much musical comedy these wonderful colored American entertainers will "strut their stuff" to the great enjoyment of their large and loyal following. The phrase "strut your stuff" has been current slang now for several years, but until the chorus of this new colored musical show has been in action, the phrase is empty. Many of the faces of the lithe forms that will be seen behind the footlights you may have seen before in Sissle and Blake's original creation, "Shuffle Along." A chorus of thirty brown skinned dancing girls with a seemingly insatiable appetite for speed never fail to keep the performance moving at a clip fast enough for any tired business man. Most of the comedy will be supplied by Jimmy Ferguson, a native edition of Eddie Cantor's character, and Lew Payton, Amanda Randolph, Lottie Gee, and last but not least, the "bronze Charlotte Greenwood," Josephine Baker, the funniest woman, colored or white, ever seen on the American stage. The show is in two acts and twelve scenes. There is a brass band on the stage and a symphony orchestra in the pit. A sensational horse race between thoroughbreds, ridden by famous jockeys will be a thrilling feature of this diversified program. To Arrive Sunday The company will arrive in Minneapolis tomorrow morning (Sunday) via the Milwaukee road, at 10 o'clock. Be on hand to welcome this distinguished group of artists to the Twin Cities. Extend your real welcome by turning out Sunday night at their first performance and giving Sissie and Blake a Rip-Roaring Welcome to our city. The big hit that Sissle and Blake made here two years ago was the theatrical sensation of the 1923 season. The same interest which made them play to packed houses last year is evidenced this year by the advance ticket sales. The fact that these performers are the premier entertainers of our group is more clearly illustrated by the letter the Governor of the great State of Ohio sent them complimenting their performances, something that governors of states rarely do. The management has announced that on Sunday evening at the opening performance something of especial interest to the race will be presented. Don't fail to see this show. We advise that you purchase your ticket early and attend the performance as early in the week as possible. David Jones Joins Interracial Staff David Jones Joins Interracial Staff Atlanta, Ga., February 20.—David Jones, of this city, who recently resigned his post as secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, has joined the staff of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation as a field secretary for work throughout the Southern States. Mr. Jones is a brother of Bishop Robert E. Jones, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was for several years secretary of the Colored Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis, where he served most effectively. Later he accepted the secretaryship of Standard Life, but resigned the office at the time of the merger with the Southern Insurance Company. Fine native endowments and thorough college training mark Mr. Jones as a young man of unusual ability, eager to devote his life to the upbuilding of his group. It is believed that in his new connection he will be able to render great service to the cause of interracial good will in America. He will enter his new field on March first.

Fuller, who was then introduced and spoke on the "four" words that characterizes Elkdom. Using for his subject, "Take Earnestly Hold of Life." The chaplain was at his best and mastered the subject to the delight of all present. Rev. Fuller is a product of the Twin Cities, a man who has proven himself worthy of a place of recognition among the progressive ministers in this locality, in this short period of eight months Rev. Fuller has brought St. Anthony from a store front mission to a thriving church, and a nice building of its own. St. Anthony now has a nice membership and is able to take its place among the other churches of this vicinity. The program was closed by a delightful response from Mr. Chas. Sumner Smith. Ames showed their charity with works, finishing a perfect day by giving St. Anthony a liberal collection.

DR. M. L. BURTON FORMER MINN. "U" HEAD SUCCUMBS DR. M. L. BURTON FORMER MINN. "U" HEAD SUCCUMBS Nominated Coolidge at Cleveland As First Venture Into Politics. Ann Arbor, Mich., Feb. 18.—Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, president of the University of Michigan, and former head of the University of Minnesota, died here early today. Death came at the end of a long fight in which Dr. Burton rallied time after time from the ill effects of a complication of diseases. He suffered his first illness last May, but recovered sufficiently to take his usual part in the June commencement exercises of the school. He spent the summer in rest, broken only by the trip to Cleveland where he made the speech nominating Calvin Coolidge for President. He seemed then to be returning to the abundant health which had carried him through fourteen years as a college head. Goes Back Into Harness With the return of the students to the campus in September, President M. Dr. M. L. Burton Burton again threw himself into the routine duties of his office, working sometimes 18 hours a day. He suffered a slight illness, diagnosed as a cold, in October, from which he again rallied. His final illness dates from an evening early in November, when he appeared at the school auditorium introducing Vilhajalmur Stefansson, the explorer. He collapsed following his appearance on the platform and physicians, hurriedly summoned, found him suffering from an affected heart. It was this trouble which finally caused his death. WASHINGTON RECTOR HONORED BY SOCIETY Washington, D. C., Feb. 20.—The Girl's Friendly Society, an auxiliary of St. Luke's Episcopal church, honored the Rev. Thos. J. Brown, at a surprise gathering by presenting him with a beautiful sacred picture. Mr. Brown recently completed a service of twenty years as rector of St. Luke's, and will continue as such. Mrs. Brown was remembered also by the young ladies and was the recipient of a beautiful plant. A savory luncheon was served and a thoroughly delightful evening was enjoyed by every one in attendance. GIRL BEATEN AFTER DANCE; IN HOSPITAL Shortly after midnight Friday evening, Miss Leta Hudson was severely beaten by Bain Summers. A group of friends found her lying on the sidewalk unconscious and rushed her to Ancker Hospital for treatment. There have been several attacks of this nature recently; some of these men who are making these cowardly attacks on women out in public should be apprehended and brought to justice, to serve as an example to others seeking disgraceful notoriety. The Plateau Club entertained Tuesday evening at the Henrietta at a very delightful dinner dance. DEAN OF TWIN CITY MANAGERS THE HISTORY OF THE HOUR St. Paul Baptist Church Organized In 1922 Steadily Progresses L. N. Scott arrived in St. Paul forty-nine years ago, the 17th of next April, on the steamer Clinton from St. Louis, Mo., coming here to enter into the employ of the St. Louis & St. Paul Packet Co., which line of business he followed with Commodore Wm. F. Davidson until 1883. During March of that year he assumed the management of the old Opera House on Wabasha St. and ran it until September 1883, when the new Grand Opera House was built in the rear of the old Opera House on Wabasha Street and opened Oct. 15th, 1883, with the Emma Abbott Opera Company, which was a very popular musical attraction in those days. He managed the Grand Opera House until it burnt in January 1888, and when this property was destroyed, ten days later he opened what was called the New Market theatre, in the old Market Hall, on the site which is now occupied by the Palace-Orpheum theatre, and operated it until Dec. 28, 1890, and opened the present Metropolitan Opera House, which he still controls and manages. Dec. 29, 1890. Mr. Scott has managed the first class theatres in this city for more than forty-two years in a most successful manner. He added the Metropolitan Opera House, Minneapolis, to his holdings about twenty-five years ago and has operated it in connection with the Metropolitan of this city. For a number of years he Third Anniversary of Church to Be Celebrated Sunday Afternoon—Annual Banquet to be Held March 3. The St. Paul Baptist Church occupies a commanding site on West Central Avenue and Mackubin Street. In an interview with the pastor, Rev. T. J. Carr, we learned that it was organized by himself, March 1st, 1922 with eighty-five members. Its growth has been steady and healthful, and it now has a membership of two hundred twenty-five. It was organized in the home of Rev. Carr at the close of a fervent prayer meeting, and an offering of eighty-one dollars was immediately lifted. The spirituality and financial success which marked the organization meeting still characterizes the congregation and is mainly the cause of their unusual progress. They began in the belief that God never leads his people into failure or defeat. Faith in Jesus Christ was the only asset to begin with, but in ten months they were in a nicely equipped basement with every convenience for also managed the Lyceum Theatre, Duluth, and the Grand Opera House, West Superior, but gave the management of these two properties up about ten years ago. His career in the theatrical line has been a remarkable one and he enjoys the confidence and respect of every citizen of St. Paul, regardless of religion or nationality. He announces the engagement of Sissle and Blake, who were the stars of last season in "Shuffle Along" and played the Metropolitan a year ago last October to a very big business. Sissle and Blake will be seen at the Metropolitan again in their newest musical comedy vehicle entitled "Chocolate Dandles." The company is much larger and better than it was last year, comprising one hundred twenty-five people. The engagement opens at the Metropolitan for one week beginning Sunday night, March 1st. Mr. Scott has always taken a keen interest in the welfare of the colored people which is reflected by the treatment accorded them during his long managerial career. The warm approval of Mr. Scott made it possible for Comrade Noble Sissle, 372nd. Inf., 92nd. Div.—formerly the 15th, N. Y.—to donate a part of the proceeds of the entertainment of the opening night, Sunday, March 1st, at St. Paul, to the Ramsey County American Legion. Pastor Saint Paul Baptist Church M. B. service.

The most notable of these meetings in Massachusetts were those in New Bedford, home city of Chairman William M. Butler of the National Republican committee, and in Boston, where the president served as governor. To Observe March 5 To Observe March 5 Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia was the Douglas orator at the Boston meeting, where he urged such meetings for historic Americans since the public school histories omitted mention of them. He instanced omission of Peter Salem of the battle of Bunker Hill and especially Crispus Attucks, first American Martyr, whose death he urged the Race to commemorate March 5 of every year. The Rev. D. S. Klugh, pastor of the People's Baptist church, where the meeting was held, presided. The Rev. C. C.

Take Three Farmers In Peonage Case Jackson, Miss., Feb. 20.—Three prominent Mississippi planters were arrested and after preliminary hearing granted bail on charges of peonage, growing out of the alleged holding of a convict. One of the planters against whom charges were preferred is a former sheriff of Holmes county. The arrest of the trio was the second peonage case investigated by the department of Justice within ten days, two of Smith county having been arrested several days ago. According to federal officers, W. C. Taylor of Cruger, Holmes county, with the aid of Walter Prine and James Anding, Hazelhurt, Copiah county, forcibly carried Primus Allis from Copiah county to Holmes county to work on Taylor's plantation.

Americans have reason to honor the man who was "first in war and first in peace." The anniversary of George Washington's birthday, February 22, instantly brings to our minds the distinctive qualities which he possessed. His life was one of active service. His virtues were many and worthy of emulation by Americans generally. From the time of his appointment as Adjutant General of one of the districts of Virginia, to his memorable "farewell address," his whole career was characterized by the highest motive of public duty. Almost immediately after his appointment he earned the rank of Major, and was later delegated to the French army in the Ohio Valley with the rank of Lt. Colonel. As Commander-in-Chief of all forces of the colony he recruited and organized troops, commanded an important successful expedition to Fort Du Quesne, acted as magistrate on legislature a number of years, was delegate to the Continental Congress from Virginia, and was chosen Commander-in-Chief of the Continental army during the War of Independence. At the close of the war, upon resignation to private life, he was delegate to and president of the National Conventions to adopt a new Constitution which greatly increased the power of the Federal Government. He was unanimously elected and re-elected the first president of the United States, declined a third term, and later was again appointed to the command of the armies of the United States, with rank as Lieutenant General. Thus he well earned the title of "Father of his Country." Contrary to the general opinion of many, Washington was opposed to slavery. He owned slaves, but treated them humanely, regarding their welfare by giving them personal attention. He refused to part with them for fear that they might not fare well in the hands of others. He had a genuine affection for his faithful body servant, whom he remembered personally in his will. His last will and testament provided for the freedom of his slaves. Washington was a Christian, and when we recall the courage he showed and the example he gave the world by pausing to kneel in prayer as an expression of his faith in the merciful God during that critical moment of conflict at Valley Forge, when his country was at stake and the outcome depended upon instant action at his command, it challenges our admiration. He faced the great realities of the time and met them unmoved; he welcomed criticism; listened to counsel, and was interested in learning the opinion of the world. He exemplified a willingness to concede to the wishes of mankind without departing from the line of duty. Americans have reason to honor the memory of this great man who was "first in war and first in peace." LINCOLN'S AMERICANISM her dated Springfield, Ill., August 24, 1858, Joshua F.

In a letter dated Springfield, Ill., August 24, 1855, to his intimate friend, Joshua F.

The K. K. K. is the successor to the old Know-Nothing movement: "I am not a Know-Nothing; that is certain. How could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of the Negroes be ir favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal except Negroes.' "When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.'

Dr. Burton was a former president of the University of Minnesota. He received his education in the Minneapolis public schools and Carleton College, during which time he earned support, meager as it was, for himself and widowed mother, by selling newspapers on the streets and working as a clerk in a drug store. The possessor of a fertile and active brain, he became a brilliant scholar. He was a national figure at the Republican Convention held at Cleveland last June, when he nominated Calvin Coolidge for president of the United States at the personal request of Mr. Coolidge. Dr. Burton knew neither race nor creed in his dealings with mankind. His administration as the head of a great institution of learning was characterized by fair and equal treatment for both the faculty and student body. He was a firm advocate of the extension of education as the only solvent of the problems of civilization. The colored people of the Twin Cities regret his passing and remember him with gratitude. The world is richer by the fact that Marion Le Roy Burton passed through it. He has left a fragrant memory. George Washington, American Patriot, Soldier and Statesman. Born 1732. Died 1799. George Washington, American Patriot, Soldier and Statesman. Born 1732. Died 1799. Frederick Douglass was the son of a Negro mother who was a slave. He was born on a plantation at Tuckahoe, Md., February, 1817; he died at Washington, D. C., February 20th, 1895. It is fitting that the race should celebrate both the birth anniversary and the memorial of this great leader each year at this time. His father was a white man and his master. In 1832 he was sold to a Baltimore ship builder, but made his escape in 1838. He had taught himself to read and write, and changed his name from Frederick Augustus Bailey to Douglass. He worked as a day laborer in New York City, and in New Bedford, Mass., where he became a member of an Anti-slavery Society, and later, one of its lecturers. His natural ability as an orator attracted wide attention, and he joined the ranks of Garrison, Phillips, Lovejoy, and other prominent speakers interested in the abolishment of slavery. In 1845 he published his autobiography, and afterwards made a successful lecturing tour of England, where he created sentiment favorable to the cause for which he labored. His freedom was bought while he was abroad. In 1870 he edited a journal entitled, "The National New Era"; in 1871 he was appointed by President Grant, secretary of the committee to San Domingo. In 1872 he was a presidential elector. President Hayes appointed him in 1877 to the office of U. S. Marshal for the District of Columbia, then Commissioner of Deeds. In 1889 he was appointed U. S. Minister to Haiti by President Harrison. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington wrote a very interesting biography of Frederick Douglass which was published in 1907. Douglass was an intellectual giant, possessed of logic and unusual common sense. As an orator he had but few equals and was known for flowery eloquence and biting sarcasm. It was Douglass, who created the term now in use to designate a degree of loyalty to the republican party. At a great republican gathering where he was called upon to speak, he began in the following manner: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a republican; I am a loyal republican," (applause); I am a black republican" (prolonged applause). This latter sentence was spoken after the second loud acclaim ceased, with a sardonic smile, for which he was famous. Thus we have today the anomaly of white men who pride themselves upon being "black republicans."

MHEARY COMMONWEALTH WARDROBE THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLLETIN APPEAL Visitors AMUSE WEEK BEG SUNDAY METRO L. N. SCOT Prices; Evenings 50c to $2.50 Sat. Mat. Sissle AND The Bulletin-Appeal is a Negro enterprise and is published in the interest of the advancement of the race. Like all publications of its kind, it meets with the usual objection of some business men—white—to advertise in a colored newspaper, altho quite willing to accept the dollars from colored patrons. A certain Minneapolis business man last year personally solicited the business of members of the race, and received liberal returns from the "Shuffle Along," "Runnin' Wild," "Plantation Days" and Morrison Orchestra Companies, yet will not advertise with a race medium. We want to caution those who buy anything in the Twin Cities to be guided as nearly as possible by the list of advertisers appearing in these columns. They invite your patronage and will advertise in a Negro paper. This list of advertisers is entitled to your consideration. BULLETIN No. 46.

Everybody is urged to come out. St. Paul Baptist Church, Organized in 1922, Steadily Progresses. of the church. Her suggestion was promptly concurred in by Mrs. Della Williams and A. H. Lenoire. The idea needed only to be mentioned for the others to agree. McDuff Woodard was accused of giving a great deal of money for the new church project, which he did, but so did Markus Harris, H. Milner, Joe Hudson, and many others. In fact, we didn't have to cry to get money from any of the members, said Rev. Carr. Auxiliary Active The church has the usual auxiliaries, which add to its strength and efficiency. W. F. Griffin is Supt. of the Sunday School; Mrs. Della Williams is president of the Millie Davis Mission Circle, also of the famous Busy Bee Club; Mrs. R. Z. Taylor is president of the B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. Effie Hudson is president of the Ernest Workers Club, who merit the name they bear; Mrs. Beula Sears Karinger is president of the Social Sewing Circle which is rendering service that is highly commendable. The church contends for high moral and spiritual standards, and believes that all classes can become one in Jesus Christ; and is, therefore, cosmopolitan in its makeup. The new members show the same kind of love and loyalty that is manifested by the older ones. Seventy-seven members were added to the church last year. Every service is well attended. It is their intention to resume building in May. The Deacons are: Markus Harris, H. Stevenson, Boyd Collins, Dixon Woods, W. H. Griffin, H. Cole, and G. Reddick. The Trustees are: McDuff Woodard, H. Milner, A. H. Lenoire, Homer Rowans, Robert Milton, N. Coleman, and Ed. Mundy. Otis Woodard is church clerk. The ordained ministers are Rev. B. W. W. Edgerton, Rev. E. H. Patrick, Rev. E. L. Fuller. The licensed ministers are: Joseph Hudson, R. J. Solomon and P. H. Smith. The church has two good choirs, Mrs. R. J. Solomon is chorister for the senior, and Israel Golphin is chorister for the junior choir. The third anniversary of the church will be celebrated next Sunday, at 3:30 P. M., in a platform symposium by the Twin City Ministers, and on Tuesday night, March 3rd, at 7:30 P. M., the annual banquet will take place. The church is making progress along all lines of church development, and expects to accomplish great good in the house of the Lord, which, they hope, ere long, shall delight the eyes of all who pass their choice corner.
