FRIENDS LAUD STOREY ON BIRTHDAY Fisk "U" Authorities Accused of Perjury Historical Society Historical Bldg. Paul Minnesota FORTIETH YEAR, NO. 51 FRIEN Fisk "U DUBOIS CHARGES MALE STUDENTS REFUSED MARKS Cites Instances of Seven Students Who Were Implicated in Disturbance. The following statement on the situation of students desiring to leave Fisk University, scene of recent disturbances, was issued by Dr. W. E. Du Bois, editor of "The Crisis": "The desperate efforts which are being made by Fisk University to prevent students from leaving or parents from withdrawing them is illustrated by the following facts: For a long time it has been the policy of President Fayette McKinzie to refuse to furnish students who wished voluntarily to withdraw from Fisk and enter another institution an official statement showing their class standing and the work which they had done at Fisk while in attendance. Several times lawsuits have been threatened because of this refusal. This has been the case for years, but in the recent upheaval the situation has become intensified. McKenzie is determined that the dissatisfied students must either stay at Fisk University or lose, their chance of education. However, when threatened with damage suits on account of his unwarranted arrest of six students during the so-called 'riot,' McKenzie, having no witnesses to support him, went into court and on condition that the damage suits be withdrawn signed the following paper: "Fisk University will give the undersigned students their credits so as to enable them to matriculate in any other standard university, and will not throw any objection or impediment in the way of their matriculation in any other educational institution. "F. A. McKENZIE, "President." "This was also countersigned by seven of the students who had been threatened with suspension, and was sworn to February 11 before Luetta McMurtry, notary public. "Notwithstanding this, however, (Continued on page 4) Rotary Club Hear Carter At Luncheon At an overflow luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club of St. Paul, in the Palm Room of the St. Paul Hotel Tuesday, Mr. Elmer A. Carter, Secretary of the St. Paul Urban League in an eloquent and forceful plea voiced the inspirations of the colored people of St. Paul relative to industrial opportunity. Mr. Carter declared that the problems of the Negro were easy of solution when the dominant race was actuated by a spirit of fair play. He said in part: "The so-called Negro problem is in a reality a series of problems which are largely capable of solution. There are problems of housing, of recreation, of employment, of adjustment. The Negro does not ask for pity—nor does he petition you for sympathy. He only asks that you give him an opportunity the same as is extended to every other man and woman in America. The right to work is a fundamental right—and any artificial restrictions arbitrarily placed on any group, finally is charged to the community. The community pays for its denial of opportunity to the Negro—and pays dearly." At the close of his address, Mr. Carter was greeted with enthusiastic and prolonged applause. ```markdown ``` St.James Church Shows Brotherly Spirit in Gift to the Pilgrim Baptist "Co-operation," a sermon much preached by Mr. Owen Howell, is expressed by St. James' A. M. E. Church under the leadership of Rev. W. H. Griffin. That Rev. Griffin moves things is best expressed in that he put the roof on a new church within three months after assuming the pastorate. March 29th he launches a rally for the completion. The following letter is the spirit of the co-operation he practices: About the time St. James' A. M. E. Church thought of excavating and putting in footings for its new edifice, we came into possession of some fine building rock. Instead of laying the stone, which in these days is an expensive operation, we constructed our forms, mixed our concrete, broke our stone with sledgehammers, employing day laborers and dumped the broken stone into the forms with the concrete. Mr. Wigington, our architect, estimates we have saved quite $2,000 by the use of the stone. From this point to completion our type of construction is such that we cannot further utilize the stone. We have much of it unused. Mr. Wigington, in response to inquiry from our board, has advised us that including the cost of transportation from our grounds to yours, if the stone could be broken by volunteers and used in your footings as in ours, Pilgrim congregation could effect a net saving of not less than $600. In the light of that information, seeing a new Pilgrim in the perspective and feeling as they feel who believe in one God, one faith and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the St. James' A. M. E. Church, through its trustees meeting in regular session, March 4th, voted to present the pile of stone across from our new site to our co-laborer in the Christian cause, Pilgrim Baptist Church. Praying a New Pilgrim will bring you as great joy, with less labor, as we experience with the prospect of a new St. James, we are, ST. JAMES' A. M. E. CHURCH, BY O. C. HALL, Acting Secretary. R. M.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 No Expense Spared in Obtaining Best Entertainment and High Class Features for Six-day Festival. The Elks' Festival—Twin Cities affair, combining Gopher Lodge, St. Paul, and Ames Lodge, Minneapolis—March 30th to April 4th, promises a gala time for all lovers of wholesome amusement. This effort on the part of the Elks should draw large crowds as the proceeds are for a laudable purpose. This order is composed of some of our leading business and professional men and has always extended a helping hand to every worthy endeavor on the part of the race. They are liberal in their benefactions without regard of church, creed or other affiliation. They are deserving of the support of the people of the Twin Cities. For the Sema-Rehpog Festival the Elks, according to the chairman, have spared no expense in obtaining the best entertainment and high class features for their 6-day festival. Valuable prizes will be awarded to lucky persons on each night of the affair. On Saturday, the last night, a grand prize of $50.00 in gold, will Inter-Collegiate Club Organized At Y.W.Center Inter-Collegiate Club Organized At Y.W.Center Last Sunday afternoon, at the Y. W. C. A. Center, a new society was organized—the Inter-Collegiate Club. This organization is coposed of the college students of the Twin Cities, and is independent of any sorority or college fraternity, all college students being eligible for membership. The officers are: Earl Wilkins, president; Antoinette McFarland, vice-president; Mattie Murray, secretary; Earl Neal, treasurer. The purpose of the organization is almost purely cultural, and they intend to sponsor such things as discussion groups, debates and lycum meetings. The organization is to be used purely as an instrument to keep before themselves as college students, and before the community in general, a certain form of idealism in literature and art. Mr. Walter J. Minor was appointed chairman of a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws.

Records show a small volume of Negroes coming into St. Paul, but steady movement. Community Betterment. Two young colored women of the University of Minnesota are engaged in instructing young colored girls of the West Side in Mothercraft. They are planning a demonstration as part of Health Week among colored people. A concert under the auspices of the Urban League was given at the West Side Neighborhood House to interest colored residents in the opportunities at the Neighborhood House. The Mother's Club at the Neighborhood House under the Assistant to the Secretary of the Urban League. Mrs. B. High, is engaged in making garments for children on the West Side Social Service. The Executive Secretary made several talks during the month among which were, The Cosmopolitan Club, University of Minnesota, B. Y. P. U., Memorial Church, Christian Endeavor, Bethel A. M. E. Church, Urban League meeting in Minneapolis. The Executive Secretary is acting as Secretary of the Committee on Colored Work of the Welfare Council. In that capacity he is making a survey of the colored people in the Rondo district. The preliminary survey of school children and people under the age of twenty-five has already been completed and was submitted to the Committee at the last meeting. Requests were made of the Urban League from the following Public and Private institutions: Red Cross, United Charities, University of Minnesota (Teaching fellow—information for doctors' thesis), Public Employment Bureau, W. C. A. (Central), Northern Malleable Iron Co., St. Paul Association (information concerning solicitation by Negro clergyman for church). MOTHER OF ST. THOMAS COLLEGE PRESIDENT DIES Mrs. Mary Cullen, 1947 Selby avenue, St. Paul, mother of Rev. T. E. Cullen, president of St. Thomas College, died Saturday night at St. Joseph's Hospital. She had been in the hospital for four months. Mrs. Cullen was 86 years old, and had been a resident of the Twin Cities for 20 years. She is survived by two sons, Father Cullen and John A. Cullen, 1947 Selby Ave. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at 10 a.m. at St. Mark's Church, Dayton and Moore Avenues, St. Paul. Burial was at St. Mary's Cemetery, Minneapolis. Father Cullen recently addressed the Sunday Forum, N. A. A. C. P., at Pilgrim Baptist Church, and made many friends who deeply sympathize with him in his bereavement. CELEBRATES EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY V Moorfield Storey Large Crowd at N.A.A.C.P.Meet on Annual Membership Drive Call Large Crowd at N.A.A.C.P.Meet on Annual Membership Drive Call Judge J. W. Willis Speaks on Racial Conditions in West Indies —E. A. Carter on Urban League and the N. A. A. C. P. The auditorium of St. James' A. M. E. Church was taxed to its utmost capacity Sunday evening, when nearly four hundred people gathered at the mass meeting called by the N. A. A. C. P. on the occasion of their annual membership drive. The local branch hopes to obtain 1,000 new members before the completion of the drive, which terminates on the evening of April 13 with a recital at Pilgrim Baptist Church, in which the association will present Mrs. Dovie Welsh, dramatic soprano. Mr. E. A. Carter, the first speaker on the program, outlined the purposes of both the Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He stated specific instances where the work of each had brought about betterment of the race. In summing up his talk he said that the Urban League was making an attempt to secure positions for colored people that work in the National Association would assure them. The comparison of the two organizations was forcibly brought out by Mr. Carter. Our stauunch friend, Judge John W. Willis, president of the branch, gave an interesting and instructive talk on racial conditions encountered in his recent trip to the West Indies and Panama Canal Zone. He also urged an increase in the membership for the benefit of race betterment. After the speakers had finished Dr. Turner, chairman, announced the drive for membership, which closes April 13th. A number of memberships were received that night, and it is hoped that St. Paul will go over the top in the spring drive. MRS. MARY SYDES DIES AT HOSPITAL SUNDAY Mrs. Mary Sydes died Sunday morning, March 22nd, at 1 a. m., at Ancker Hospital, after an illness of about 18 months, and confinement in the hospital for four months.

A.A.C.P.PASSES 80TH MILESTONE Colored People Over Country Send Messages to President. Moorfield Storey, President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who celebrated his 80th birthday on Thursday, March 19, received numerous telegrams from N. A. A. C. P. members and branches and colored people in all parts of the country, expressing good wishes to one of the staunchest friends the Negro race has had in America. Ms. Storey became identified in his youth with the great abolitionist fight against slavery. He was Secretary to Charles Sumner from 1867 to 1869. His association with the greatest champion the Negro ever had in the Senate, has been followed by a long life of devotion to the cause of race justice. In addition, Mr. Storey has been one of the most distinguished members of the bar in the United States, being Editor of the American Law Review, an overseer of Harvard College, President of the Massachusetts Reform Club, President of the Boston, Massachusetts and American Bar Associations and author of a life of Charles Sumner besides numerous other works and pamphlets. Fighter and Worker. Mr. Storey has been President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since its beginning and has not only given generously of his means, but has fought and won a number of its most important cases affecting race relations before the United States Supreme Court. He appeared in the case by which the grandfather clauses disfranchising Negroes in southern States were declared unconstitutional; won the Louisville Segregation Case of 1917, by which segregation by State or City ordinance was declared unconstitutional; won the case of the Arkansas farmers before the Supreme Court, causing the Supreme Court to reverse the attitude it had taken in the Leo Frank case and to declare that trial by due process of law means a trial free of mob domination. Mr. Storey in spite of his advanced age is still active in the cause of justice for the Negro. He is about to go to Washington to argue still another segregation case, this one involving segregation by agreement among white property owners in the District of Columbia, which the N. A. A: C. P. has appealed to the Supreme Court and which will probably be heard this April, and has just agreed to serve as associate counsel in a case involving the disfranchisement of Negroes through the white Primary in the South. Favorable decisions in these two vital cases will profoundly affect both the Negro and the country at large. JOHN H. CYRUS DIES; FUNERAL HELD MONDAY The funeral of Mr. John H. Cyrus, 880 Rondo St., who died March 19, was held Monday afternoon, March 23, at St. James A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. H. Griffin officiating. Mr. Cyrus was born in Alabama in 1881, and educated at Birmingham, joining the church early in life. He became a post office employee in 1916. On January 28, 1918, he married Mrs. Mattie Simpson. To this union were born two children, a boy and a girl. The deceased leaves a wife, Mrs. Mattie Cyrus; two children; a mother, Mrs. Roxie Cyrus, and two brothers in Chicago.

EUGENICS AND THE NEGRO The Minnesota Legislature, now in session, has taken a step in a system of eugenics through the passage by the representatives of a bill for the sterilization by vasectomy charges of the state, which would include imbecility, badly epileptic, mentally incompetent, those who by birth a strong predisposition to criminality and those mentally poor, known as morons. It is to be hoped that this bill, hands of a committee, will become a law. This is the opening wedge for which a few earnest men have labored in this state for some years to have them adopt a law for a system of eugenics that would apply to the drunkard, chronic criminal, venereal diseased, epileptic and feeble minded, regardless whether they are ages or not, but the legislature is not willing to accede tooping reform at once. It is willing, however, to first arose mentioned above. A review of the various crimes committed today by the Negro rise to the thought that by the application of eugenics could be saved from its trend toward moral and physicalracy. Civilization with its social evils, and prejudice toed the segregation of the race, compelling it to live in houses unfit for habitation, are factors responsible for a gent degenerate condition of the Negro in the congested urban population. In the large centers of city life crime and prostitution so increase. Hardly a day passes but what a murder is committed in Negro moron. To prevent total disintegration and break back to its normal condition—back where it was phased the emancipation edict was issued—should engage the attention of Negro leaders in sociology and biological science. Eugenics was practiced by the master in mating his slave extent before the Civil War, and resulted in a sturdy palust men and women, who were physically able to strain of the hard work imposed upon them. These are ugly truths, it is true, but silly prudery should us to the actual facts. Education alone will not soems. The brain of man cannot function in a disease but becoming contaminated and weakened. From the acquired characters are not likely to be inherited, no improvement of our race in its constitution, in its meat, food, breed, or human stock can likely come from educative marriages should be advocated. Love and desire would prefer this to the blind and random soods that prevail today. Let's build a race of physical giants. The Minnesota Legislature, now in session, has taken its initial step in a system of eugenics through the passage by the House of Representatives of a bill for the sterilization by vasectomy of the pauper charges of the state, which would include imbeciles, insane, badly epileptic, mentally incompetent, those who by heredity have a strong predisposition to criminality and those mentally below par, known as morons. It is to be hoped that this bill, now in the hands of a committee, will become a law. This is the opening wedge for which a few earnest men and women, have labored in this state for some years to have the legislature adopt a law for a system of eugenics that would apply to marriage, the drunkard, chronic criminal, venereal diseased, epileptics, insane and feeble minded, regardless whether they are public charges or not, but the legislature is not willing to accede to such a sweeping reform at once. It is willing, however, to first apply it to those mentioned above. In view of the various crimes committed today by the Negro, it gives rise to the thought that by the application of eugenics the race could be saved from its trend toward moral and physical degeneracy. Civilization with its social evils, and prejudice that has caused the segregation of the race, compelling it to live in insanitary houses unfit for habitation, are factors responsible for the present degenerate condition of the Negro in the congested areas of urban population. In the large centers of city life crime and prostitution seem on the increase. Hardly a day passes out what a murder is committed by a Negro moron. To prevent total disintegration and bring the race back to its normal condition—back where it was physically when the emancipation edict was issued—should engage the serious attention of Negro leaders in sociology and biological science. Eugenics was practiced by the master in mating his slaves to a large extent before the Civil War, and resulted in a sturdy race of stalwart men and women, who were physically able to stand the strain of the hard work imposed upon them. These are ugly truths, it is true, but silly prudery should not blind us to the actual facts. Education alone will not solve our problems. The brain of man cannot function in a diseased body without becoming contaminated and weakened. From the fact that acquired characters are not likely to be inherited, no permanent improvement of our race in its constitution, in its mentality, in blood, breed, or human stock can likely come from education. Selective marriages should be advocated. Love and intelligence should select from a good and eligible group. Any person of good sense would prefer this to the blind and random selective methods that prevail today. Let's build a race of physical and mental giants. THE.STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, Ga., a reise, found it necessary a few months ago, in order to a science without the infliction of a heavy loss to its policy to organize and refinance itself. This resulted in the retainer Perry from the presidency and ultmiately from on with the concern. It seems that Mr. Perry had a engagement for a loan and made unfortunate investments, held by a group of white bankers, became due, consideration for the holders of policies, who are entirely The Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, Ga., a race enterprise, found it necessary a few months ago, in order to save its existence without the infliction of a heavy loss to its policy holders, to reorganize and refinance itself. This resulted in the retirement of Heman Perry from the presidency and ultmiately from all connection with the concern. It seems that Mr. Perry had given a mortgage for a loan and made unfortunate investments. The mortgage, held by a group of white bankers, became due, and out of consideration for the holders of policies, who are entirely people of the colored race, these men foreclosed it for the purpose of reorganizing and refinancing a failing institution. By so doing they have saved the race many dollars and brought to the company's management officers of ability, skilled in the science of finance and knowledge of the insurance business. As far as we have been able to learn the company is now on a sound footing, something that has not obtained for a long time. What ever may be said about the mismanagement of Mr. Perry and his Board of Directors, good, bad or indifferent, will not change the present arrangement or place it in statu quo. Much derogatory criticism of Perry, and his advisors, has been indulged in by the press of the race. The passing of control of an institution of such importance—especially as it was the conception of colored men—from black hands into the hands of white men, may be a cause for regret. But, if on the other hand, the black hands were incompetent, then there is compensation for such a transfer if it means a continuation of the organization. Perhaps Mr. Perry was the victim of personal enemies among members of the press that may have influenced the severity of their condemnation. However that may be, it is time now to forget Heman Perry and think of the welfare of the large army of policy holders who cannot afford to lose the money they have invested by dropping out, as has been advocated by some brainless members of the race. We have reason to believe in the integrity of the new management, as well as faith in the future growth and development of the company. The apparent indifference of members of our group to the efforts of the officers of the local N. A. A. C. P. to increase the membership of the organization is beyond human comprehension. At a gathering last Sunday evening at St. James A. M. E. Church, held by the Forum, the auditorium was crowded, but of the vast crowd in attendance, not more than twenty per cent of the number were members of the N. A. A. C. P. This is a sad reflection upon the intelligence of the race in this city, when it exhibits such an apathy to an organization so necessary to the progress of the entire colored population. The N. A. A. C. P. has been vitally active in useful accomplishment of benefit for the Negro ever since its inception. It is ably officered, both nationally and locally, by men and women of both races who sacrifice their time and ability, and give freely of their money for a cause that means manhood and womanhood to you and your children. The N. A. A. C. P. is in need of funds to carry on; the local branch desires to raise its quota of apportionment to the parent organization. The national body is fighting segregation in the state courts and even the United States Supreme Court. Can it be that you will remain indifferent to the appeal of your helpless brothers, their wives and children, whose constitutional rights are being trampled under the cruel foot of race prejudice? Shame on the people of St. Paul that this deplorable condition exists and must be made public. The brightest men in the country are backing the N. A. A. C. P. with all, their God given intellect and to their last dollar in this unreasonable class struggle, that you may be safe in the enjoyment of the rights that are continually denied you. We trust that you will arise above petty jealousy and the possible animosity that may be entertained against members or officers, and see only the purpose of the whole. 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 Mary McLeod Bethune—Philanthropist and Race Benefactress. Mary McLeod Bethune was born in a three room log cabin on a small plantation near Mayesville, S. C., July 10, 1875. She was one of a large family and at an early age exhibited an unusual ambition for betterment. She desired to better her condition and yearned for the things that her prescribed environment did not afford. She attended the small school at Mayesville and became a member of the Methodist church when only twelve years of age. She graduated at Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C., and later attended the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. She was married in 1898 and moved to Palatka, Fla., where she at once took a leading part in the welfare of the race. The lack of schools caused her to establish, in a modest way, a small one where she taught the young and old the elements of an education. In 1894 she rented a house, and with five girls founded what became nationally known as the "Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls." By means of concerts and festivals the payment of the first five dollars was made for the present site—then regarded as a worthless piece of ground and used as a dump pile. With their own hands, teachers and students labored to clear it of rubbish, and with the co-operation of people around lending a helping hand, the place was transformed into beautiful gardens of useful value. In 1905 a Board of Trustees was organized and the school was chartered. In 1907 Faith Hall, a four story building, was erected, which served as dormitory accommodations for teachers and students, dining room, store rooms, reading room and bath rooms. In the rear of Faith Hall a two-story structure was placed, containing the school kitchen and the domestic science room. In 1909 a farm was acquired to raise live stock, vegetables and for practical outdoor training for the girls. In 1914 a Model House was built and an additional six acres with a two story house were acquired. In 1918 a spacious auditorium was erected and dedicated. The governor of Florida and Vice-President Thomas Marshall were among the speakers. The McLeod Hospital and Training School for Nurses was built in 1912. Her activities have not been confined to her girls alone; she has in time of national stress found time to enter a speaking campaign for either Red Cross work or Liberty Loan drives. She has appeared before distinguished audiences. She was the only representative of her race to speak at the noteworthy patriotic meeting at Washington in December, 1917, held in the Belasco Theater. About two years ago this rapidly growing institution made another expansion and became co-educational by the admittance of boys. The value of Mrs. Bethune's untiring efforts may be appreciated by the fact that she has been graduating academically about 400 young women and men annually—sending them out into the world trained in useful trades to become self supporting and worthwhile members of society. The Christian influence of this good woman permeates the entire atmosphere of her school and react upon the youth in her charge. From an humble beginning, through the indefatigable efforts of Mary McLeod Bethune, this school, dedicated to the uplifting of her race, has grown to be worth $500,000 in property value. At the annual meeting, held last week, the Board of Trustees of Daytonna Normal and Industrial Institute conveyed by legal arrangement this fine institution, the result of the life work of its founder, to the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in compliance with a long contemplated plan of Mrs. Bethune. As she tendered the deed to the property, Mrs. Bethune, with becoming modesty that has always been an outstanding characteristic of her, made the following brief address: "I commit this property to the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church—take it—use it for the development of the Negro youths of America. May God inspire you and your Board to always have fair minds, and to yield to the inspirations and aspirations of the boys and girls who may knock at the door of this institution for that instruction and that training that will round them out and make them Christian citizens of America." Mrs. Bethune will continue as the active president of the institution until she decides to retire. In addition to her school work, Mrs. Bethune upon the death of Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was elected to succeed her, and fills the position of executive with credit and distinction. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ST. PAUL PEOPLE? the apparent indifference of members of our group to of the officers of the local N. A. A. C. P. to increase the of the organization is beyond human comprehensi- tion last Sunday evening at St. James A. M. E.

Americanization Series the Bulletin-Appeal will publish, each week, biographicalographies of men and women of the race who had something worthwhile to the history of our country. The object of these articles is to acquaint the reader, both native born and alien, with facts that are not in the average school history. There are in the United States a large number of alien races. The immigration laws limit the number of nationality, forbids orientals, but permits the darker man with slight restriction. This fact is due, no doubt, race to the American Negro. It devolves a duty, by the race to prepare the new comers for American cities, they may know America better we present the biography McLeod Bethune—Philanthropist and Race Benefactor. MARY McLEOD BETHUNE Jary McLeod Bethune was born in a three room log cabin plantation near Mayesville, S. C., July 10, 1875. She a large family and at an early age exhibited an unruly for betterment. She desired to better her condition for the things that her prescribed environment. She attended the small school at Mayesville and her of the Methodist church when only twelve years THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL Letters to the Editor To the Editor of the Bulletin Appeal: Please allow me to commend most heartily an editorial which appeared in last week's issue of your paper, under the heading of "Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel." I am sure every intelligent Negro who is capable of thinking straight fully agrees with you in the argument so well and logically set forth in that splendidly written editorial. Your editorial takes a timely and well directed swing at certain Negro weeklies that are commercializing crime, scandal and other news of a vile and sordid nature concerning our people. One of our Negro papers which styles itself, as the "world's greatest weekly," has become the most prominent herald of scandal and the most notorious chronicle of crime of any paper published in the entire United States. Its front page frequently contains glaring headlines of this sort of sensational news, printed in the boldest kind of type which often extends across the entire sheet. This coarse, vulgar news is featured so conspicuously that self-respecting Negroes with the smallest bit of race pride would not dare unfold this paper and read it in a street car or any other public place. It specializes in news that is nauseating and revolting to every Negro who loves clean literature, and who reads books, magazines and papers for the information and knowledge they impart, and for the cultural advantages they afford. In the first column of the editorial page of this same paper, in last week's issue, appeared the following item: "We overheard the managing editor say: 'I wish somebody would get married, a flying machine blow up, a horse run over an auto, or a man with a grind organ and monkey come along so we would have some live news.'" Is it possible that despite the fact that the American Negro is making greater progress today than ever before in all his entire history, and despite the fact, too, that his outstanding achievements are often subject of editorial comment by many of the big white magazines and daily papers,—I repeat, is it possible that this particular Negro weekly with its large and capable staff of local news gatherers, and with its score of correspondents in the various towns and cities throughout the United States, must wait until some terrible catastrophe comes, until some awful sensation occurs, until some sickening scandal is revealed before it can obtain sufficient news for its columns? I feel safe in venturing the assertion that this one Negro weekly alone publishes more sordid news of scandal and crime among Negroes than the combined white press of the northern cities. Then we have the audacity to complain and even protest whenever some white paper in that particular locality essays to give the least undue prominence to the news of our shortcomings and crimes. Some of us attempt to vindicate the policy of a Negro paper that commercializes the news of our crimes, by asserting that Negroes want news that tells of scandal and crime, and that the paper must publish such news in order to be appealing to the majority of our group, and in order, too, that it might receive the patronage necessary to make its publication financially profitable. To say the least, this is a very selfish and compromising argument. There are thousands of Negroes throughout the country who love clean, wholesome literature, who enjoy reading news that is elevating and worth while, news that keeps those of us in one city informed of the progress that is being made by our people in other cities. Certainly there are thousands of others who like to read of scandal, robberies, murders, suicides, divorces, strikes, riots, floods, earthquakes or anything that is horrifying, sordid or sensational. But why should our Negro press feed these depraved minds with news of crime and scandal simply because they crave it? Would it not be far better for us as a group, if our Negro press would strive to educate these abnormal mentalities up to the right appreciation of clean, helpful news? In attempting to civilize cannibals should they be fed upon the flesh of dead mortals merely because they crave human blood as food? Again permit me to commend your very excellent editorial to which this article refers; and also permit me to express my personal appreciation of the high journalistic ideals of the Bulletin-Appeal.

Washington, D. C. Price $2.65 by mail. The Everlasting Stain is a symposium of 351 pages that cover one of the most eventful periods in the life of the nation—prior to the entrance of America into the World War up to the death of President Harding. It is an expression of Kelly Miller's keen intellect and inquiring mind succinctly clothed in the language of plain, everyday English, with an absence of technical terms and without the sacrifice or loss of literary effect. The open letters to President Harding and Wilson and the "Haitian Mission" indicates the work of the astute statesman. Other subjects, such as Abraham Lincoln, Booker Washington, etc., are equally as well treated. Altogether the book is replete in matter worthy of the best thought of every citizen of the republic, regardless of racial identity. It should have a place in the home, school and library of lovers of fair play and interested in the solution of the complex condition of Negro life in America. Kelly Miller has mastered the art of vigorous diction by the graceful use of palliative elegance. flexexus Magazine, Vol. 1, No. 1. Price 25c per copy, $2.50 per year, in the United States, postage prepaid. Popular Magazine Corporation, Publishers, Chicago, Ill. John McKinley, Editor; Gus Ivory, Art Director; Phil A. Jones, Chairman Board of Directors. The Reflexus is a fifty-eight page, 10 by 14, illustrated magazine, printed on glazed book paper with colored covers. In its salutation the editor states that its object and aim is to "amuse, interest and entertain." It will deal with tragedy, comedy, romance and adventure, under the peculiar circumstances that surround the Negro. Its editorials contain articles of a serious nature regarding race conditions, notable among which is one entitled "The New Negro and the New Age." The various departments are instructive—educational—and conducive to helpful and beneficent results. It is distinctively a home magazine, containing the latest achievements of the race, socially, professionally, and in the world of business. If the editions which are to follow will attain the standard of the initial number its success seems assured. Its publication is a daring and courageous undertaking, financially, from a race standpoint, and reflects creditably the ability and farsighted vision of the organization that sponsors it. Reflexus deserves a long and happy existence. Opportunity—A Journal of Negro Life Published by the Department of Research and Investigation, National Urban League. The March number of this always interesting publication contains many subjects that are well treated. The cover by Winold Reiss is an odd semi-Egyptian design in black and white. Editorials on "Negro Business and Public Confidence" and "Race Crossing" are praiseworthy and good. The article by Melville J. Herskovits — "Certain Preliminary Observations in Study of Negro," ("Negro-White Crossing") and "Race Prejudice," a continuation from the February issue, by Herbert J. Seligman, are both written from the scientific viewpoint of the scholar and reveal their adeptness in research. The biography 5f Ira Aldrich, illustrated with pictures from the Schomburg collection by the editor, tells a striking story of historical value. In this issue the Twin Cities have been favored with the publication of a likeness of one of our fair daughters, Miss Helen J. Jackson, a student at the University of Minnesota. The March number should by all means be read by every progressive member of the race. Norfolk, Va., March 18.—Wm. Smith, mall carrier, died after a brief illness.

We ask for the co-operation of each and every person in the city, so that this entertainment may be the beginning of stimulating interest in students to further their activities along these lines and that they may feel that they will receive encouragement by your presence from their own home town. The admission is 50 cents. Files as Candidate For Municipal Judge 1930 Fred B. Wright, Jr., attorney with offices in the Globe Building, filed last week as a candidate for the municipal bench. Mr. Wright lives at 2958 Vincent Ave N. Hairdressers and Cosmeticians of Twin Cities Meet The Twin City Hairdressers and Cosmeticians' League met with Mrs. Gertrude Moore, 3741 Clinton Ave., Sunday afternoon, March 8, at which time the members received the report of the proposed Hair Dresser bill in the Minnesota Legislature, and a round table discussion was entered into. At this time the president, Mrs. Lulu Bacon, ordered a called meeting to be held in the spacious Beauty Parlors of Mrs. Notah Wilson, 368 Minnesota St., St. Paul, March 19, for reorganization and election of officers, after which Mrs. Moore served a very delicious lunch which was enjoyed by all. The league meeting with Mrs. Wilson March 19 held election of officers, Mrs. Notah Wilson being elected president; Mrs. Gertrude Moore, vicepresident; Lulu Bacon, state organizer. Any one who is practicing two branches of the profession wishing to join may call Hyland 0074, Minneapolis; or Cedar 3188, St. Paul. The league will hold its next regular meeting with Mrs. Susie Wilson, 3932 4th Ave. So., Minneapolis, Thursday evening, April 9 at 8 P. M. Askin-Marine Prepared For EasterShopper The Askin-Marine Co., 328 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, are receiving daily large shipments of women's and men's wearing apparel, millinery, hats, coats and overcoats of the latest modes. The company is one of the oldest and largest clothing concerns in the world, having branches in all of the larger cities. It can be said of Askin and Marine that their dealings with their customers have always been more than fair. Once a customer, always a customer. The management accords courteous treatment to all. This cannot be said of some of the other concerns when it comes to our group. Mr. McKenna, manager of the Minneapolis branch, is counted as one of the best friends the race can boast. He maintains, at a personal loss, a baseball team of colored players, partly for advertising purposes, but mainly to stimulate an interest in the national game among colored people. We recommend this concern to the members of the race in the Twin Cities. (Continued from page 1) all Fisk students who have applied for admission to Howard University since the 'riot,' not only the seven students who signed the above pact but other students who voluntarily withdrew and against whom there was no charge and who could, if they wished, return to Fisk University, have been refused certificates of honorable dismissal. One parent, a physician of high standing, sought to remove his daughter from Fisk. She was in good standing and had nothing to do with the disturbance. The secretary of Howard University replied: "We have been placed in a very THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL unpleasant situation. The records of all entering students, the registrar tells me, "must show whether he or she is honorably dismissed," and the official records sent from Fisk to Howard University do not show this. "Each and every transcript sent here to our registrar bears some statement to the effect that student "withdrew during student walkout," which, of course, is not an honorable dismissal under the regulations of our faculty." "Thus the authorities of Fisk University have not only deliberately perjured themselves but are seeking to ruin the career of every student who dares leave the institution. Parents of students thus treated should immediately enter suit against the university. This is a terrible warning to any Negro who thinks of sending his child to Flek University. "W. E. D. DU BOIS."

NO OILS, NO SOAP, NO IRONS—A SIMPLE HOME TREATMENT While in the army I met a colored prince from the French possessions in Africa. He was of royal blood and a fierce warrior. He wore old browns ages and had beautiful silky, smooth hair. We became acquainted and I asked him what he used on his hair, the same hair he used in his family secret which had been used exclusively by his family for generations. I did him a favor and he repaid me by giving me the recipe for this wonderful hair. I pass it on to thousands of others. It is harmless, does not burn the hair, does not turn it red, does not make the hair look like silky, makes it lay smooth, silky and pretty. No matter how short, or how long, how thick or how thin your hair may be, thousands now have long, straight, silky hair and a natural appearance.
