THE NORTHWESTERN CIVILIZATION WEAKENING HUMANITY Release Three Men Held On Robbery Charge HOLDUP FAKED, 'VICTIM' ADMITS, SUSPECTS FREED HOLDUP FAKED, 'VICTIM' ADMITS, SUSPECTS FREED Man Tries to Cover Up Spending of Money Through Holdup Story. Three men arrested Saturday night for a $500 holdup were released Tuesday when the "victim" admitted he faked the story of the robbery. The men are Dave Holloway, Martin Roberts and Solomon Crawford, transients. The "victim" was Alfred Dow, white, Shell Lake farmer, who admitted, when faced with evidence that he did not get $500 for a hog sale in South St. Paul Saturday, admitted that he had been drinking and was trying to cover up the spending of his money through the holdup story. The alleged holdup, according to Dow's story, occurred at Pascal and Portland aves., at 7:10 p. m. Saturday. Dow identified the three men, declaring they were the ones who robbed him. National Negro Bar Assn. to be Formed Des Moines, Ia., Mar. 20.—In order to unite Negro men and women of the bar so as to enable them to be more effective, a date has been set aside for the formation of a National Negro Bar Association. According to George T. Woodson, of the Iowa Association, on August, 1925, local associations composed of lawyers of African descent or colored persons will send representatives, while as many individual lawyers as wish will attend a meeting in this city to form a National American Association. Attorney Woodson has the distinction of being the first and only member of our race to serve on the bench in the state of Iowa; several years ago he served in Buxton, Ia. He was also appointed a member of the Virgin Islands Commission by President Coolidge. This Commission was composed of prominent race men who investigated the racial conditions existing on the islands. They returned with a highly commendable report. Renders Program At Bethel A.M.E. Church On last Sunday evening a program was rendered at Bethel A. M. E. Church under the auspices of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, for the purpose of raising the quota of the church on the educational fund of Wilberforce College. A very interesting program was enjoyed by the audience, Mr. E. A. Carter, executive secretary of the St. Paul Urban League, being the speaker of the evening. Papers were read by Misses Theresa Hollis, Evelyn Collins, Leona Hollis, Murlin Collins, Mary Wiley, Ruth Hughes, Mrs. Anna Collins and Mrs. R. B. Taylor. There was also a short talk by a representative of the Bulletin-Apeal, and remarks by the master of ceremonies, Isaac Thomas, and the pastor, Rev. J. W. Collins. A tidy sum was realized.

Mass Meeting Sunday. Judge John W. Willis, president of the St. Paul Branch, N. A. A. C. P., returned recently from a trip to the West Indies, Cartagena, Columbia and the Panama Canal Zone. At Kingston, Jamalca he was much impressed with its beauty and public buildings, hotels, churches, schools, parks and gardens. The Cathedral of St. Mary, of semi-Byzantine-Roman architecture and stately stone construction, erected about twenty years ago, the Judge said, is a wonderful edifice. One thing very noticeable to him was the mixed congregation, made up of white and black people. All of the ushers are colored men and many of the pews in the best location of the church are maintained by prominent Negro families. At Cartagena, Columbia, some of the leading business men are colored men. They are engaged in various kinds of enterprise, from the small shop to the ownership of large warehouses, where they superintend shipments of merchandise to all parts of the world. There is no racial discrimination; Spanish is the language spoken. The people are very hospitable and greet the strangers with a welcome handshake. One of the interesting sights the Judge witnessed was the Panama Canal, a great feat of engineering skill in which our fellow townman, John S. Stevens, was a contributor. It was Mr. Stevens who built the dykes that prevented the land slides that threatened the abandonment of the huge undertaking by the government. Through this veritable lake, each day, hundreds of ships with tonage fro mall the world ports pass through, and by so doing save a distance of over 6,000 miles. The ships pay Uncle Sam a fee in proportion to tonnage. One large freighter paid a tax of $29,000 in gold. Judge Willis said that the canal was a big asset to the government and was paying a handsome dividend from the revenue. Upon his return to New York the Judge visited the headquarters of the N. A. A. C. P., where he met Dr. Dubois, James W. Johnson, Messrs. White, Bagnall and others, and was given a warm reception. He stated that the work there is ably conducted in an orderly manner without friction. Mrs. Willis accompanied her husband on the trip, and both were renewed in vigor and health. Judge Willis is to speak at St. James A. M. E. Church, corner Jay and Fuller streets, Sunday night at 8 o'clock, where he will give a graphic talk on the racial condition in the tropics, as observed by him on his trip. His many friends who have arranged this lecture invite the public to attend. Honor Student of K.C. Public Speaking Class Mr. Nathaniel A. Evans, 387 No. St. Albans, has been chosen chairman of the entertainment committee by his fellow students of the Knights of Columbus Public Speaking Class.

L'Edition Blue And Gray Cab Co., Race Concern, Opens The "Blue and Gray" Cab Co. has started operation in St. Paul by the installation of a line of first class up-to-the-minute cabs to be manned by colored chauffeurs. The cabs have every modern convenience for the comfort and safety of passengers. Meter rates with extra passengers free. A well equipped office has been opened at the Henrietta Hotel, 503-505 Rondo St., telephone Dale 3300. Continuous service day and night, under the management of Mr. W. R. McDowell, an experienced driver. Mr. McDowell has been a resident of St. Paul for the past twelve years, and was a former chauffeur for Dr. Plondke, head of St. John's Hospital, and also for Mr. W. P. Westfall, well known attorney. He was engaged in the grocery business for quite awhile at the corner of St. Anthony and Kent streets, and at one time operated a restaurant. Mr. McDowell stated that cabs would be added to the company as fast as patronage warranted it. The colored population have an opportunity now to show their appreciation of an enterprise of their own by giving it liberal patronage. In doing this you will be creating another opening for the employment of a member of the race at good pay. We hope to see a fleet of these beautiful cars on the streets of St. Paul before many days.

W. C. A. The present title and cup holder is Mr. Donald Brown of Minneapolis. All members and friends are requested to be present. Important announcements will be made. Aged Woman Who Rode on Train Carrying Lincoln's Remains, Dies Deceased Was Member of St. James A. M. E. Church and Prominent Church Worker for Sixty-two Years. Mrs. Anna E. Morgan, wife of Charles Morgan, 653 Thomas St., died Friday, March 13, 1925, at her residence, where she and her husband have lived for nearly forty years. Death was due to the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Morgan was born in St. Charles County, Mo., in 1842, and at an early age she married James Jackson of Syracuse, N. Y., in the city of Chicago, Illinois. Two children were the result of this union, one dying in infancy, the other being the late Louis Duncan Jackson, father of Louise Jackson Wilson. Left a widow, she followed the profession of nursing until she came to St. Paul in 1890 and became the wife of Charles Morgan December 4th of the same year. She was a member of St. James A. M. E. Church, this city, having been a church worker for 62 years, joining first the Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Church in 1863. She served 24 years on the deaconess' board. One of the outstanding events in Mrs. Morgan's life was the fact that she rode on the train that carried President Lincoln's remains west, something of which she was very proud and never tired of telling. She leaves to mourn her loss a faithful husband, Charles Morgan; a grandson, Mrs. Louise Wilson; a grandson (in-law) Henry Wilson; a great grand daughter, Janice Wright, and a great grandson, Frank Wright, and a host of friends and good neighbors. The burial took place March 16th from St. James A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. H. Griffin officiating. Famous Benbow Entertainers at Gayety This Week At the Gayety this week, starting today (Saturday) the Fox and Krause house is offering its first black and white review so popular with theater audiences throughout the country, "Benbow's Get Happy Co.," a snappy aggregation of 25 colored entertainers coming direct from a long run in Chicago. This company, in conjunction with the Gayety regular show, headed by Jack Lamont, most popular comedian in burlesque, will present a two act show entitled "Let's Go." Midnite show to-night. Plans for the Sema-Rehpg Festival to be given by the Twin City Elks, Gopher Lodge 105 and Ames Lodge 106, I. B. P. O. E. W., at Union Hall, Kent and Aurora, St. Paul, for six days, starting Monday, March 30, ending Saturday, April 4, are almost completed, according to J. Louis Ervin, general chairman of the festival. This affair will be the second joint affair of the two lodges given this year. The first affair was a dance given in Minneapolis, which was a tremendous success. CHARLES HOLCUM DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS Mr. Charles Holcum died March 14th at Anker Hospital, after an illness of several months. He had recently undergone an operation, from which he did not fully recover. Mr. Holcum leaves a wife, Mrs. Frances Holcum of this city, and scores of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was held on March 17 from Simpson & Willis undertaking pariors. Interment at Oakland. Guest of Honor At Birthday Celebration 249 Friends Honor Hamlet B.Rowe On His Birthday With appropriate ceremonies on Friday evening, March, 13th, the Twin City friends of Hamlet B. (Kid) Rowe, nationally known sportsman and newspaperman, celebrated his birthday at a party at the N. W. Porters' and Waiters' Club, 718 6th Ave. No., of which the genial "Kid" is president. The individual directly responsible for the festivities in connection with the "umty umph" birthday was E. L. Boyd, who, assisted by Clarence McCullough in the-role of master of ceremonies, entertained some two hundred well wishers of the "Kid." Music for the occasion was supplied by the Mirth and Music Club orchestra, their program including several vocal selections. Telegrams of congratulation to the guest of honor from all parts of the country were read. Especially amusing was the one from Phil Jones and Tony Langston, business manager and dramatic editor, respectively, of the Chicago Defender, old time pals of Mr. Rowe. After several congratulatory speeches a delicious buffet lunch was served. G. B. Woodard, one of the guests, won a prize consisting of a silver decanter, six cups and a tray. As a birthday party it was some success. So the unlucky Friday, the 13th, wasn't such a bad day for Hamlet B. Rowe, who received, in addition to many useful presents, a huge birthday cake, the compliments of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Boyd—and the cake had sixteen candles on it! On the walls of the club was noticed a picture of Mr. Rowe taken with Joe Gans "the Old Master," and that cake had sixteen candles on it! Nevertheless everyone had a splendid time. $1,000 SUBSCRIBED AT URBAN LEAGUE MEETING At the meeting of the Urban League held recently at Bethesda Baptist Church, Minneapolis and addressed by T. Arnold Hill, organizer for the league, $1,000 was subscribed. It is hoped that this amount will be raised to at least $1,500 in the next week. Permanent organization of the local branch of the league is awaiting the endorsement of the local branch of Social Agencies. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium ANITY STERILIZING THE UNFIT PREVESTS PROPAGATION Application of Biological Law Declared America's Greatest Salvation. Civilization is steadily weakening the human race, and nothing but the application of the laws of biology to mankind will save America from sinking into obscurity, Albert Wiggam, author of "The New Decalogue of Science" and "The Fruit of the Family Tree," said in a lecture at the Church of the Redeemer Wednesday night. "By the achievements of medicine and hygiene, by the care of charitable institutions and by the generous but short-sighted application of the golden rule which makes life easier for the unfit," he said, "we are making the world safe for idiocy. We are allowing the insane, the unfit, the diseased and the imbeciles to survive and to propagate more of their own kind, whereas in the rougher conditions of barbarism, they would naturally die out because of their inability to cope with their environment. Emergency Measures. "Religion, morality and the golden rule are merely emergency measures which may aid the immediate situation but do not strike at the root of the trouble, which is that under present conditions the families of low intelligence and ability are outbreeding the families of higher intelligence and development at an enormous rate." Mr. Wiggam declared the only way to put the human race on a higher plane and to put a halt to the present deferioration was to make it economically possible for the higher types to propagate more rapidly, and to discourage, and in extreme cases, prevent by law, the breeding of unfit and under-developed children. He cited as an example a suburb of New York where low salaried clerks and office workers were encouraged to raise families by providing them with pleasant homes in health, surroundings for $10 a month rent, and suggested as corresponding measures, dissemination of birth control knowledge among the poorer and less competent of the laboring classes, and compulsory sterilization of the unfit. Myrtle Hull Addresses SundayForum Meeting Miss Myrtle D. Hull of the Family Welfare Association gave an illustrated talk on "The Value of Supervised Play" at the meeting of the Minneapolis Sunday Forum at Phyllis Wheatley House, 808 Bassett Place. The lecture was entertaining and highly instructive. The speaker having specialized in the subject matter was well qualified to speak from practical experience. The lecture was well attended. Mrs. Charles Foree had charge of the program. The Misses Esther Stovall and Helen Walker rendered several numbers on the piano. Mr. Walker Gilmore sang a bass solo. The musical program was very creditable. Mr. Milton Shanks, president, presided. Miss W. Gertrude Brown is the resident manager of Phyllis Wheatley House.

There is that God will not long be mocked. "Venger of God." Gro's cross is heavy, but some day he will win in the land of his oppression. The arrest of three colored men on suspicion of having held up a white man and robbing him of $500 in St. Paul, without any evidence other than the identification of the men by the alleged victim, shows what the race has to contend with. The man when subjected to a rigid questioning, after police discovered discrepancies in his story, confessed that it was a hoax adopted to cover expenditures of money for drink and that he had not suffered any loss through the men under arrest. They were consequently released, after being under arrest from Saturday night until Tuesday noon. The police are not to blame for this rank injustice; on the contrary they are to be commended for their diligence in going to South St. Paul to learn whether the complainant had really received $500 from the sale of hogs as alleged, and which they found not to be true. When confronted with the facts this man was obliged to exonerate the three accused men. However, the men may now maintain a civil action for false arrest against the man responsible for their incarceration, and recover damages. This is just one instance brought to the notice of the public in this vicinity of the way innocent men can be railroaded to prison and branded as felons. Had this incident occurred in the South the police would have accepted the word of the white man and a jury would have found the accused guilty. This method applies to many cases of alleged rape in the South where a white woman is the victim of the crime and colored men are purported to have committed the deed. The men thus accused are lynched forthwith—burned alive at the stake after being saturated with oil, without every a pretense of a trial in a court of law. It is not an uncommon thing in the South when a Negro becomes objectionable—"sassy"—because he demands his lawful rights, for white men to "frame" him by falsely accusing him of a heinous crime for which he pays the penalty of death. These orgies of barbarism are conducted by white men supposed to possess intelligence in a high degree right here in America, without arousing the least indignation or public disapproval from any class of citizens except the poor helpless Negro. The Negro cries for justice and humane treatment, but it is in vain. However there will come a day of reckoning. There is a God in Israel, and that God will not long be mocked. "Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord." The Negro's cross is heavy, but some day he will wear a crown of glory even in the land of his oppression. CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL! American Negro is to be judged by the f newspapers published by the race and "in he is heading for perdition and his prog is without question. Object of our race paper is supposed to be up its achievement in all lines of worthy print the news. However, the question of "of a character suitable for publication is If the American Negro is to be judged by the front page of some of the newspapers published by the race and "in the interest of the race" he is heading for perdition and his progress toward degeneracy is without question. The object of our race paper is supposed to be uplifting and a reflection of its achievement in all lines of worthy endeavor, as well as to print the news. However, the question of what constitutes "news" of a character suitable for publication is a subject for endless controversy. What would be news in a daily for the general public would have but small appeal, if any, to a race group in a weekly publication. In the weekly paper of other groups there is a noticeable absence of the sensational and more of the conservative in its make up. This is true of the Jewish, German, Irish, French and Polish weekly papers. But it remains for the Negro publisher to capitalize the shortcomings of the race in whose interest he claims to serve, by the use of headline streamers in black or red ink. The Negro race is not a criminal race. The percentage of crime committed in this country is lower than that of many other groups per capita. Yet the Negro publisher, laboring under the hallucination of serving the best interest of his race, gloats with glee if a crime is committed by a moron that will give him a front page story. The most salacious scandal is the cause for an increased number of copies, and he makes a big ado over a matter that reflects sadly upon the entire race as well as upon himself. The colored race is passing through a crucial period and is making commendable progress in its effort to attain the appreciation of the dominant race. Of all the groups in America the Negro is the least that can afford to be exposed to censure. There may, however, be a demand for such exposures, and no doubt there is, but that does not excuse the publisher for supplying it any more than it excuses the bootlegger or the pedler of narcotics. It is wrong to feed the depraved mind with matter that is nauseating and disgusting to normal, right thinking people, and as such publications go into the home it is read by the youth of the race, whom its slimy effects may influence to a wrong outlook of life. Certain soi-disant editors claim that by publishing crime it will prevent its commission. Criminologists are agreed that capital punishment should be abolished, as it does not deter crime. If the threat of death fails of its object, what effect will the newspaper have in that direction? The papers which indulge in publishing the most revolting news stories on the front page usually have a splendid editorial on another page. We do not believe in the suppression of news simply because it may be of a criminal nature, but it should be minimized and not magnified. The publisher of a newspaper should always take the highest ground and from that standpoint seek to improve the race and bring it to his level. The welfare of the Negro should be considered as a whole before the selfish gain of avaricious greed for tainted money,—gained at his expense by the publisher through exploitation. The tornado that swept through an area of six mid-western states Wednesday leaving in its wake the loss of more than a thousand lives and millions of dollars worth of property cast a pall over the entire country. At this writing a definite knowledge of the extent of the number of lives that has been taken in the toll is not possible. The storm covering a width of from two hundred feet to one mile apparently started in the Ozark hills in Arkansas, due to low barometric pressure, it traveled at a velocity of 200 miles per hour northeast into Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. At such a time as this man realizes his insignificance in the face of Nature. He is only a helpless unit; not a master. Horrible as it is we must recall that we are subject to the same destructive forces wherever we are on this mundane sphere and utterly powerless to offer the least resistance. Let us pause, take heed, and remember that we know not the hour when the end cometh. The will of God must of necessity become the will of all that He has created. It is our duty to offer such relief as the urgent needs demand. Humanity is at the mercy of the elements of nature. The survivors are without shelter, food or clothing. Hunger stalks amidst the wreckage of the maimed and mangled dead. Gleanings from Our Exchanges The Survey says that the American Negroes now have their Zion in Harlem. The strip between 114th and 145th Streets and between Fifth and Eighth Avenues in New York City was peopled first by the Dutch, then by the Irish, then by the Jews and now by the Negroes. The record of immigration may be traced by these displacements. In this narrow strip of upper New York City are now crowded 150,000 Negroes, many of whom have been a part of the Northward migration of the colored people. In coming north the Negroes show a tendency to congregate in great cities despite the fact that by tradition and experience they have been soil toilers. They are now becoming industrial and mechanical, and with this shift is coming a new orientation of racial consciousness, manifest in the revival of Negro spirituals and better defined objectives. The Negroes of this country are today making a new life for themselves. As they migrate northward and renew their folk-art and music, they tend to move out of a status of social dependence to one greater self-reliance. Harlem, at any rate, has become the center of what is termed Negro Zionism. It is something larger and better than the transient and spectacular Garveyism, for it aims to lift up a race that has made marked progress since the days of slavery.—Minneapolis Journal. 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 with slight restriction. 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 Edmund Dede—Violoniste. Edmund Dede was born in New Orleans, La., in 1829, of slave parents. His master, a Frenchman, liberated his parents soon after Edmund's birth. He attended St. Joseph's Catholic School, New Orleans, La., and at an early age evinced an inordinate interest in music. He learned to make cigars when a youth, in which he became an expert. He was religious, moral and thrifty. He became a pupil of Deburque, a proficient Negro instructor of the violin. Later he took lessons of Prof. Gabici, chief of the orchestra of the historic St. Charles Theatre, under whose tutelage he made wonderful progress. At the age of twenty-one he was regarded as a virtuoso by competent critics. His services were constantly in demand which enabled him to earn sufficient money to go to France, to further pursue the study of his art under the great masters. He arrived in France in the spring of 1857, his fame having preceded him; he received an ovation and a welcome worthy a great people and a great artist. Dede at once became an idol of popularity, both as an artist and a polished gentleman. He was of pure African blood, well educated, and spoke the French language—his mother tongue—with perfect fluency. A man of fine personality, tall, erect and of commanding appearance. He established a studio in Paris and became a leading instructor of violin as well as a writer of music. Among some of the earlier compositions of this gifted musician are "Le Sement de l'Arabe," "Vaillant Belle Rose Quadrille," "Le Premiere Overture," "La Creole," "La Capricieuse Valse." His later work was greatly improved over his former efforts. Indeed, some of his compositions are classics. He married a French lady and for some years was director of "L'Alcazar" in Bordeaux. He associated with the literati of his day and became a close friend of Dumas, the Negro writer of French fiction. America, the land of his birth and early manhood, through its unreasonable prejudice because of race and color, refused to accord this great musician the credit his talents justified, while enlightened France—the home of the fine arts—gave him a place in the sun. He died a citizen of France and never saw his native land again after his departure from its shores.

MORRIS, F. S., 818 Metropolitan Life Bldg. Letters to the Editor To the Editor of the Bulletin-Appeal: Permit me to tender my appreciation of your "Americanization Series" that has become such a distinctive feature of your excellent newspaper. The biography of great men and women of the race, of whom many are not to be found in books published by white historians, are very interesting to young and old alike and have an educational value which should not be underestimated. In your last issue the article regarding Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield was indeed illuminating. All trace of this great singer has been lost to the present generation. When I was a girl, my family cherished an engraving of Miss Greenfield, that hung prominently on the wall. As I recall it to my mind's memory she was a woman of queenly bearing and much beauty. The early families have kept her memory intact by relating to one generation after the other stories of her wonderful voice. Her life and accomplishments are an inspiration. May you continue your good work. (MRS.) SARAH J. OWENS. Columbus, Ohio. Railroad Column In the honor roll for good service of the Pullman Company for Marche appear the names of S. L. Johnson, E. W.
