GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES LIBERTY Baltimore Colored Church Stoned By Whites MISSILESFLY AS CONGREGATION HOLDS SERVICE MISSILESFLY AS CONGREGATION HOLDS SERVICE Police Reserves Colled Out, But Attackers Disperse Before Their Arrival. Police reserves were called out last night when a group of white persons began stoning the colored Morning Star Baptist Church in the 1000 block West Fayette street. The services were stopped by the disturbance, but no one was injured and no arrests were made. The church, formerly used by a white congregation, has been vacant for several years and recently was purchased by the colored congregation. According to several of its members, no protest to the building passing into the hands of Negroes had been heard, although it is located in a white neighborhood. Church Purchased Recently. Yesterday was the first day that services had been held in the church since it was purchased. The services had been opened by the Rev. George J. Garnett when the volley of missiles were hurled against the walls. A large stained-glass window on the West Fayette street side was broken by a stone which crashed through and fell to the floor within the church, bringing a shower of glass with it. The stones are said to have been hurled from the roofs of the dwellings across the street in the block. When the police arrived the house-tops of these buildings were deserted and the attackers had dispersed. No White Persons Found. When the affair was reported to the desk sergeant at the Southwestern Police Station six patrolmen were hurried to the scene. They found only the excited colored congregation and no white persons. Early in the day the congregation had marched in a body to the edifice, where they officially took over the church. Organize East Side Club of By affiliation with the civic organizations of the East Side from time to time, Mrs. Mary D. McFarland was urged to organize a similar body among the colored women. To this end on Wed., Apr. 1, a group of ladies met and formed a permanent organization known as the East Side Civic Club of Colored Women. The object of this club will be to develop an understanding of civic movement and an appreciation of its problems, to keep in touch with local civic movements and observe and study them, to inculcate a feeling of personal pride in the welfare of the community which we represent and to lay a foundation for sound, vigorous and enlightened citizenship. Membership is limited to residents of the East Side. Officers were elected as follows: President, Mrs. L. H. Wilkerson; vice-president, Mrs. Josie O'Neal; secretary, Mrs. Mary D. McFarland; treasurer, Mrs. Sarah Holmes Johnson. FREEDMAN'S HOSPITAL TO INSTALL $5,000 RADIO Washington, D. C.,—The Freedman's Hospital is taking an active part in the Washington Radio Hospital Fund campaign to raise $40,000. The Freedman's Hospital has asked for a quota of $5,000, so that a receiving outfit may be put up and attached to each one of the 300 beds, the average cost of attachment and equipment being $15 for each bed. Opens Undertaking Embalming Shop W. E. H. Mr. Aaron J. McGavock, announces the opening of a thoroughly modern and up to date undertaking and embalming establishment, chapel in connection, at 550 Rice Street, corner of Charles, St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. McGavock, who has resided in our midst for the past ten years, is a graduate of Pearl High School, Nashville, Tenn., and an honor graduate, class of 1923, of the school of Embalming, University of Minnesota.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 N. A. A. C. P. PRES. ACKNOWLEDGES NATAL GREETINGS Expresses Thanks for Congratulation Received on 80th Birthday. Moorfield Storey, of Boston, former President of the American Bar Association, and now President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has addressed a message to members of the Association throughout the United States, expressing his thanks for congratulations received on his 80th birthday and urging all citizens to stand back of the movement for racial justice and betterment. Mr. Storey's letter in full is as follows: "To the Various Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "My Friends: "I have received from Branches of this Association all over the country the most cordial congratulations on my eightieth birthday, and most gratifying assurances of their regard for me personally. I take this means of thanking one and all for these messages of respect and affection, and as long as my health permits I shall continue to work for the cause which the Association was founded to promote. I bid them be of good cheer and persevere in their efforts. "The suits that are brought in the courts against those who violate the rights of the colored-people in this country are most effective weapons, and every judgment in our favor is a precedent which discourages attacks. Let it be generally understood that it is not safe to injure a colored man or woman, that lynching is dangerous to the lynchers, that the colored citizens of this country are determined to assert their rights under the constitution and laws, and those rights will be respected and the progress of the race will be more rapid. "During my life I have seen slavery abolished the world over, I have seen serfdom ended in Russia, I have seen the emperors of France, Turkey, Russia, Austria and Germany swept from their thrones, and their places taken by the representatives of free peoples. Bearing these facts in mind I want you to realize that the tide of freedom is rising the world over, and that its progress is irresistible. Least of all countries of the world can the United States arrest this progress, as it was the first to announce the proposition that all men are created free and equal, and that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. "We have only to stand fast, only to persevere in asserting our rights and we cannot be beaten. Take no backward step, urge our fellow-citizens to join our organization, to fight with us and not stand by mere lookers on. That is a proposition of which every colored man should be ashamed. His help is needed and the larger our force, the sooner will come our success. (Signed) "Yours truly, MOORFIELD STOREY." Brunswick, Mo., March 11.—Mrs. Nannit Bigby, wife of Prof. S. W.

TWO BILLIONS IS ESTIMATED NEGRO WEALTH Rapid Progress of Race Revealed in Sociological Survey. Atlanta, Ga.—Two billions of dollars is the present estimated wealth of Negroes in the United States, according to a recent survey made for the Research Section of the American Sociological Society by Prof. Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute. The wealth of the group in 1912 was estimated at seven hundred millions. The survey reveals great progress also in the matter of Negro education, the amount expended for this purpose by all agencies having been about $40,000,000 in 1924, as against $13,576,561 in 1912. Up to 1912 five thousand Negroes had completed college courses. Since that time, the number has doubled. The demand for educated Negroes has been rapidly increasing in all lines, according to Dr. Work. Health Gains Made. The race has made decided gains also in the matter of health. The death rate, which was 22.9 per thousand in 1912, had fallen to 15.7 in 1922, or a decrease of 31 per cent. A study of mortality among 1,800,000 Negro policy holders of the Metropolitan Insurance Company shows that their life expectancy increased from 41.3 years in 1912 to 46.9 years in 1922. For the whole colored group, the life span has increased in the same period from 35 years to 40 years. The survey calls attention to the recent heavy movement of Negroes from rural communities to the city and from the South to the North. As a result, there are now almost a million more Negroes living in cities than there were thirteen years ago, and over half a million more living in the North than at that time. This shift has been accompanied by a large-scale entrance of the Negro into industry, the 1920 census reporting 332,249 Negroes engaged in skilled and semi-skilled work. Mill City League Welcomed Into National League Mill City League Welcomed Into National League The Business eMn's and Women's League which was organized recently by the Rev. J. L. Jackson, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, is making remarkable progress through its president, Mrs. H. D. Davenport, and administrative officers, Messrs. Charles W. Jennings, Fred Humphrey, McDuff Woodward, and Mesdames R. Z. Taylor and F. Jones. Through the intercession of Mrs. Mary H. Moseley-Withers, Dramatic Reader, who was former president of the Women's Auxiliary, the organization received in response a most hearty congratulatory letter of welcome from Dr. R. R. Moton, President of the National Body. Dr. Moton, earnestly urged their co-operation unitingly with the National. Mrs. Hester Keyes is chairman of the membership committee; Mrs. Mary Moseley-Withers is chairman of the Executive Board and of the Program Committee. The organization has given employment to several persons and plans to do greater things. COLORED BOYS ADMITTED TO BRICKLAYING SCHOOL Through the efforts of E. A. Carter, Executive Secretary of the Saint Paul Branch of the National Urban League, colored boys are now admitted to the bricklaying school operated and maintained by the Saint Paul Builders' Exchange. Founder-Publisher Of Famous Paper A. H. JOHN HENRY MURPHY Mr. Murphy was the founder of the Afro-American, Baltimore, Md. From an humble beginning he built up a great newspaper, with modern equipment. His rise to prominence reads like a tale from the Arabian Nights. Under the "Americanization Series" the Bulletin-Appeal publishes the biography of this remarkable man in this issue. It should inspire the race with renewed ambition and determination to succeed in whatever endeavor it undertakes to accomplish. Mr. Murphy recognized no age limit. At an age when most men give up and retire from business activity or feel that they are failures ready to be "scrapped," Mr. Murphy was planning for success. It is a source of keen pleasure for the Bulletin-Appeal to pay tribute to the memory of such a worthy character as the subject of this sketch. The N.A.A.C.P. Welsh Recital to Be Musical Treat Everybody is going to the grand recital given by Dovie Adams Welsh under the auspices o fthe St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Cedar St. and Summit Ave., on Monday, April 13th, at 8 p. m. Admission 50c. We earnestly solicit the patronage of members and friends to assist in making this recital one of the real musical treats of the season. There is no question but what the National Association is doing creditable work. No doubt everyone has read of the recent victory of the Association in securing the release of all of the Elaine, Arkansas, prisoners, and the release of the majority of the men accused in the Houston riot. These two achievements alone are well worth the support of all colored people, and especially the members and friends of this Branch, who are assisting in making the recital a huge success are helping the Branch to meet its apportionment of $300, which goes to further just such work as is being done by the National office, a full account of which appears in the March issue of the Crisis. If you do not get it, subscribe for it by the year, and it will be sent to you by mail at $2.50, including membership. APPOINTED TWIN CITY DEFENDER REPRESENTATIVE Mrs. Mary Moseley-Withers, Dramatic Reader, has been appointed by Mr. George D. Howard, Twin City General Representative of the Chicago Defender to assist on the reporters' staff of the Minneapolis news. Mrs. Moseley is a graduate of the Press Correspondence Bureau, Washington, D.C., and formerly represented three leading Chicago papers, the Illinois Chronicle, Idle Wild and Chicago Conservator. A.A.C.P. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS BERTY ATTORNEY SAYS LAWLESSDISGUISE IN HIS ADDRESS Points Out That Name Given to Revolutionary Leaders Is Immaterial. New York, April 3.—The Honorable Martin W. Littleton, in recent address in this city took no middle ground in his arraignment of radicalism which seeks to undermine the stability of our government and the freedom of the American people through political control and operation of industry and business. He pointed out that the name given to revolutionary leaders or doctrines is immaterial, and said in part: "It doesn't make any difference, my friends, whoever these people were and are, whether they be Socialists, Communists, Opportunists or persons of expediency, the doctrine of revolution inheres in and clings to all civilization. It may be on one occasion the Socialist preaching his doctrine of solidarity of human activity into a static society; it may be the Communist, wanting his ruthless dynasty of power to go unchecked; it may be the sanguinary Soviet in his true name, compounded of these elements, if you please, who by profession is a Socialist, by practice a Communist, and by occupation a gunman. All Men Created Equal. "Scientific government was created as an agency to secure liberty for the man himself and the woman. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, amongst which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.'" "The only reason for the existence of a government is to furnish sufficient authority to preserve order and an amount of liberty which falls short of license. Erected to Protect Life "Government, with its agencies and its minions, and its authorities, treading on your heels wherever you go, crossing your threshold, invading your home, reaching into the nurseries of your children—government! And what is this thing called government? "Government is mine and yours to do with as in our judgment and our intelligence we think it should do, always mindful of the individual. Any government that invades the secret domain of individualism is a government which does not belong to a period of American liberty. This government was erected to protect life, liberty and property and when it ceases to do that, it ceases to be a government of the civilization of this age and era and belongs to another age and another era." Minneapolis Forum To Meet Tomorrow The Minneapolis Sunday Forum continues to present a program of cosmopolitan interest, with something to appeal to every taste. On Sunday, April 5, the program includes Mrs. Katherine M. Kohler, Director of the Extension Division of the Minneapolis Public Schools; a vocal number by Mrs. Edith Moore of Minneapolis; a plious number by Miss Audrey Grever, and a piano solo by Mrs. Jerry Larkins of St. Paul. Interesting notes from the journalist and comments by the critic are always a welcome feature.

RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION William L. West, secretary of the West Pleasant address before the Torch Club Wedding, stated that owing to the restrictions on a higher scale of wages for unskilled labor and that such a condition would be peril, he said that "Lack of unskilled labor in the migration of large numbers of colored men past two years between 150,000 and 180,000 West, and at present these sections will have to be coped with sooner or later, that the colored labor in the South is his immigration. He said that in order to order a standing army would be necessary, and every 100 yards. The speaker advocated war debt of the several nations that owe him to give satisfactory employment to those who keep them at home. But this country would gain by the sugar accomplished without a cancellation of the through the restriction of immigration. Quoted, we are at a loss to understand the first he claims that there is a shortage of labor in the North. Then he states that the long colored migration to fill the vacancies in the present a race problem "that will have to later." He also complains that there is no place of the colored people in the South in the placing of a standing army on the North. If Mr. West's conclusions were put into a gigantic economic loss. The prosis upon the cotton it raises to a larger range of industries of the North require both labor in their operation. We would like to see it are to be supplied with man power united by Mr. West. We would also like to see the migration of colored people to the North? The colored man has a right to locate man of this country that suits him, and now conducts himself properly, why a large number, cause a problem? Called race problem is a myth; it is the fact exists only in the mind of certain race itself it has no problem in fact. In so the highest in citizenship and advance grant race will permit advancement. The race in this country is not a fault of their race that brought them here, in chains for over 250 years this race was subjected to the white race and required to furnish unskilled, without remuneration. A freed man is not responsible for even his losses of internecine strife between the sex as the outcome of a war measure. He royalty to the country in time of stress, up with the immigrant and makes a factional majority of them. He is a native of their units institutions. Then in what way does, other than that the color of his skin certain members of the dominant race? A freed man only desires an opportunity to live with his ability and to be decently treated in this country. For the white race comes with poor grace from the race to Mr. William L. West, secretary of the West Publishing Co., St. Paul, in an address before the Torch Club Wednesday at the Minnesota Club, stated that owing to the restrictions placed upon immigration a higher scale of wages for unskilled labor has been brought about and that such a condition would be permanent. The speaker further said that "Lack of unskilled labor in the North had caused the migration of large numbers of colored people to the North. In the past two years between 150,000 and 300,000 have come North and West, and at present these sections face a race problem that will have to be coped with sooner or later." Mr. West pointed out that the colored labor in the South is being replaced by Mexican immigration. He said that in order to protect the Mexican border a standing army would be necessary, with one soldier stationed every 100 yards. The speaker advocated the remission of the war debt of the several nations that owe this government, in order to give satisfactory employment to their respective people and thus keep them at home. Just what this country would gain by the suggestion of Mr. West it has accomplished without a cancellation of the money honestly due it, through the restriction of immigration. If Mr. West is correctly quoted, we are at a loss to understand the logic of his address. First he claims that there is a shortage of both skilled and unskilled labor in the North. Then he states that this shortage is causing colored migration to fill the vacancies in such large number as to present a race problem "that will have to be coped with sooner or later." He also complains that the Mexican who is taking the place of the colored people in the South should be restricted by the placing of a standing army on the border of the Rio Grande. If Mr. West's conclusions were put into effect it would result in a gigantic economic loss. The prosperity of the South depends upon the cotton it raises to a large degree. The manufacturing industries of the North require both skilled and unskilled labor in their operation. We would like to know how these sections are to be supplied with man power under the conditions as stated by Mr. West. We would also like to know in what way does the migration of colored people to the North create a race problem? The colored man has a right to locate in any part of the domain of this country that suits him, and as long as he obeys the law and conducts himself properly, why does his presence, even in large number, cause a problem? The so-called race problem is a myth; it is the outgrowth of prejudice and exists only in the mind of certain white people. With the race itself it has no problem in fact. It is trying to measure up to the highest in citizenship and advances just as fast as the dominant race will permit advancement. The presence of colored people in this country is not a fault of their own. It was Mr. West's race that brought them here, in chains, and against their will. For over 250 years this race was subjected to inhuman treatment by the white race and required to furnish all the labor, skilled and unskilled, without remuneration. The colored man is not responsible for even his citizenship. The exigencies of internecine strife between the states severed his shackles as the outcome of a war measure. He has rendered service of loyalty to the country in time of stress unflinchingly. He measures up with the immigrant and makes a far better citizen than the majority of them. He is a native of this country and understands its institutions. Then in what way does he offer a race problem, other than that the color of his skin may be objectable to certain members of the dominant race? The colored man only desires an opportunity to earn his living in accordance with his ability and to be decently treated. He offers no problem in this country. For the white race to seek to repress him comes with poor grace from the race that owes him so much. MINNESOTA CALLS ota, the "land of 10,000 lakes," is being he ground for the summer tourist.

To the fagged a of the business or professional man or restorative than nature's remedy—northern climate exhilerates with its sed with aromatic fragrance of wild flowers Minnesota, the "land of 10,000 lakes," is being heralded as the nation's playground for the summer tourist. The hegira usually starts as early as the month of May and continues until late in November. Thousands of tourists avail themselves of recreation by living in the great out-doors, camping in the lake regions where fish and game may abundantly be obtained, with beneficial results through the restoration of health. To the fagged and worn nervous system of the business or professional man or woman there is no greater restorative than nature's remedy—the great outdoors. The northern climate exhilerates with its atmosphere of ozone, ladened with aromatic fragrance of wild flowers, the balsam and the tall pine, indigenous thereto. Minnesota beckons and calls the weary careworn to complete rest. We are proud of Minnesota. It has a fine background, a distinguished history. Its early settlers were pioneers from New England, who brought with them to the wilderness of the North the principles of honor and a love of fair play. These underlying virtues, implanted by rugged men and women, are the foundation upon which the manhood and womanhood of Minnesota is built. They are fundamental to the growth and development of good citizenship. The large Scandinavian element attracted to this state has contributed much to its development and material welfare. It was composed of God-fearing men and women who readily accepted the spirit of our civilization and American institutions. There is no group more sincerely devoted to the majesty of the Constitution. Their loyalty is without question. The North Star State attracted wide attention when the eyes of the nation, if not the world, were focused on it at the time of the Dred Scott decision. It was here at Fort Snelling that the fugitive was held pending the infamous decision of Chief Justice Taney which turned him over to the authorities representing the State of Missouri, where he was delivered to his owner. But prior to the Dred Scott affair, as well as subsequent thereto, the fugitive slave found Minnesota sympathetic and willing to help him across the border to safety in Canada. This great state, rightly termed the "bread and butter state," has thousands of acres of cheap, tillable land with good soil, which should attract the agriculturist of the race. It may mean only a matter of orientation by a change from raising cotton to raising wheat as far as labor goes, but it means a world of difference in the way of the enjoyment of citizenship with all of its benefits. Here we have in rural districts one of the finest systems of consolidated schools in America. Both races attend these schools in harmony and without injury to either. The University of Minnesota is one of the world's best institutions of learning. The colored student receives the same consideration as the white—both drink from the font of knowledge back of which stands the sovereignity of the great North Star State. The stranger desiring to better his condition will find a welcome here. In our cities he will find a well ordered condition, under which he may find employment, engage in business or enter upon the practice of a profession. Our race business men and women prosper in proportion to their ability and progressiveness. The professions and trades have been singularly fortunate in race representation in Minnesota. The clergy, lawyers, doctors, dentists, architects and musicians are all ably and honorably graced by men and women of unusual intelligence and skill. In proportion to the number of inhabitants the race makes a splendid showing in citizenship and worth-while achievement. Minnesota is an inviting place to live and establish a home. The Jewish Chronicle, Kansas City, Mo., recently commented editorially on religious and racial hatred. Among other things it contained the following: "Hatred and prejudice cannot be legislated out of existence. Opinion cannot be knocked out of a man's head by force of a fist swat any more than they can be eliminated by force of law. Force never settled any real social problem. Religious and racial hatred is a social problem, and should be treated as such. It certainly has no place in politics." We are in accord with the truth of the above conclusion, provided there is no violent disobedience of constituted law. It is possible for a man to entertain religious and racial hatred without attempting personal injury to the object of his hatred. It is an inalienable right for an individual to either love or hate certain things, including a race or religion, and as long as he expresses himself in a peaceful manner he is within his constitutional right as a citizen. But hatred is a dangerous thing to handle; it usually does the one who entertains it more harm than the one he so intensely detests. When nourished it takes root, propagates, and its rapid growth not only impregnates the individual but becomes contagious and leads to mob violence as an outbreak of expression. It is at this stage that the law must be invoked. It requires force to subdue force, and, of course, as the Jewish editor states, the matter remains unsettled. The solution of the problem is through education and a better understanding of objectionable groups by inter-racial contact. The law-abiding citizen willingly arbitrates differences, whether they are of a religious or racial nature, in an effort to reach a peaceful settlement and avoid violence. The man, however, who encourages hatred for his fellowman is to be pitied more than censured. He is the victim of an insane passion which will ultimately destroy him. The fact is, life is too insecure—too uncertain, too short—for mankind to hate anything that God has created. Love is the fulfilling of the law. Love everybody and everything. Love is constructive; hatred destructive. And yet one is as contagious as the other if cultivated. What a paradise this world would be if the monster of hatred was banished from it. Booker T. Washington had the wisdom to understand the truth of love and hatred when he said that "No man can put me down so low as to make me hate him." John Henry Murphy belongs to the type of persistent genius which often finds its sphere of success late in life. It is said of Lincoln and Grant that either might have been classed relatively as a "failure" at the age of 50. So, too, the half century mark found Murphy a waiter or porter by occupation, but out of a job and "broke." Yet he left at his death one of the greatest newspaper properties that ever served people of his race, as well as a still more enduring journalistic influence. Born a slave in Baltimore in 1840 and set free by the Maryland Emancipation Act of 1863, he served as non-commissioned officer in the Civil War. He followed whitewasher's trade for a time, turning later to the employments already mentioned. The turning point of his life came when, at 50, he learned the printing trade, after which he purchased the Baltimore Afro-American, the first number of which he set up himself and delivered by hand. He retired from active business in 1921, leaving his publication plant, at that time equipped with modern typesetting machines and a thirty-two page Hoe rotary press on which a paper can be printed in three colors. This plant is one of the largest in the country operated and manned by all colored employees. Mr. Murphy never believed in giving up. He often remarked to his sons, whom he brought into the business with him at the time it was incorporated: "I have faith in myself, in the ability of my people to succeed in this civilization and in the ultimate justice which will secure them full citizenship in the nation." The Afro-American grew, under him, to be the largest colored weekly paper in the South or East, largely because it was independent, being tied to no church or fraternal society, and in politics, always supporting the best men, whether they were Republicans or Democrats. Mr. Murphy was a member of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which he was appointed Trustee and Treasurer and for many years a Sunday School superintendent, serving in the same church in which his father led the choir for thirty years. He was at one time Imperial Potentate of the Colored Order of the Mystic Shrine. He died April 5, 1922. HATRED AND PREJUDICE Chronicle, Kansas City, Mo., relegious and racial hatred. Among showing: "Hatred and prejudice. Opinion cannot be knocked a fist swat any more than they. Force never settled any real so hatred is a social problem, and only has no place in politics."

THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPNAL Letters to the Editor To the Tditor of the Bulletin- Appeal: Your recent editorial in behalf of the N. A. A. C. P., "What is wrong with the people of St. Paul," was able and timely, and will certainly cause many to meditate. Surely when such marked indifference is displayed regarding the continuance in our midst of an organization founded upon such splendid, helpful principles as are those behind the N. A. A. C. P., there can be no doubt that something is decidedly amiss, but is it necessarily wholly on the part of 'the people?' Whenever the general public grows cold toward an essential organization, it is all well to inquire as to what is wrong with that organization. Any organization that would be useful must gain the confidence and respect of those to whom it would appeal, and is compelled to merit the retention of that confidence and respect if the body hopes to long survive and secure widespread support Does the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. possess the respect and confidence of the St. Paul public? There are those who say it does not. When a publicly supported organization neglects to make report relative to its stewardship, funds collected and expended; work accomplished, etc.,—the failure of the public to remain interested, financially or otherwise, is a foregoing conclusion. What single result has been achieved thru Branch activity during the past ten years? About three times has the mountain stirred in that period of time: once in behalf of a school teacher; again regarding discrimination in a department-store lunch room; then because of attempted residential segregation. In each instance the party most concerned was either a member of the Executive Committee of the Branch, or closely connected therewith, thus the impression has gone abroad that if one be not of the inner circle, it is a waste of effort to bring any matter of racial discrimination or injustice to the attention of the local branch of the Association, and that it has degenerated into a "Form of Social Relations," whose main objects appear to be "Talks, Collections and Mutual Admiration." You inform us the local is ably officered. There be those who even take issue there. When a presiding officer who has had the same exalted position for many years,publicly makes a statement regarding the policy of the organization which he cannot back up with the least bit of evidence, and which most, if not all, of his hearers know to be without any foundation of truth, surely they may be excused if they question his fitness for the position, even tho they might admit his ability. It has been charged that coarse methods are the usual order at annual election (?), with the result that those in control are enabled to constitute themselves a self-perpetuating body. Because of the methods pursued at the recently held annual meeting, called in December, altho the oConstitution of the Association provides that the election 'shall occur in the first fifteen days of November', the undersigned drafted a protest to the National Body, and, with little effort, obtained about 86 signatures of persons designated as 'members and former members who decline to further contribute towards the support of the local branch under present conditions, and persons who express a willingness to become members, etc'. The National Body upheld the legality of the election, notwithstanding the open violation of the constitution as above quoted. There are those who would tell you absolutely nothing is the matter with the people of St. Paul other that they are soundly convinced that the local branch o f the N. A. A. C. P. needs a new regime; they want a virile vigilant organization—ready and willing to stand by, and do battle for even to the most humble and lowly among us; give them less talk and more action; allow them an opportunity to choose their officers, and not foist upon them a hand-picked group—then watch the rapid growth in membership and increased interest and enthusiasm. JOSE H. SHERWOOD, 971 St. Anthony Ave. CARD OR THANKS We wish to thank the employees of the post office, the post office Triangle Club, the choir of St. James A.M. E. Church, Rev W. H.

We have refrained from expressing an opinion in this matter until we were more conversant with all sides of the controversy. After reading Dr. DuBois' elucidation we are in accord with his viewpoint. If education means the stultification of manhood and womanhood, the race would be better off without it. The first essential thing, prerequisite to an education, is to be free—freedom of thought and expression. An educated man or woman without the courage of his or her conviction means less to race progress than a courageous soul without cultural advantages. The Crisis, as usual contains much interesting news, yet the cover could have been printed in colored ink, embellished by a garland of flowers to give it a more colorful seasonable appearance. It contains nothing indicative of the meaning of Easter, aside from the sombre print thereon. 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. J. Otho Gray in the New York Amsterdam News is the author of a fine piece of literary effort entitled: "Sollioquy of Death." Mr. Gray cleverly handles the subject of death in such a manner as to play upon the emotions of the reader. After establishing the inexorableness of the Grim Reaper to the extent that is arouses a feeling of awe and fear the writer adroitly reconciles the matter by proving its mercifulness, and ends with these words: "I am Death, but by the great universe I an not what I seem. I am an illusion, fooling you with tragic ease. Hear me. I do not exist. Death, say you me. Redeeming Christ, there is no death." As an essay it is a classic in both theme and language.

CLOSE TO A MILLION Kansas City, Mo., April 3.—So far, Emma Johnson, 37, as not made her appearance to claim a fortune of $750,000 in Oklahoma oil lands. A white attorney of Oklahoma was in the city this week seeking only to hand Emma three quarters of a million dollars. The woman is said to have married an Indian in Oklahoma and later to have left him. When he died some years ago, half of his 160 acres went to the tribe and half was held in trust for his wife. Oil has since been found and Emma is now nearly a millionaire—if she only knew it. --- E Your Own GAVOCK and Chapel and Embalmer corner Charles Day and Night 00, Residence Elkhurst 1613 " EASTER LILIES :-FLORIST 110 East Sixth Street Phone Night Phone Mar 0117 Riv. 0117 Adding Bouquets a Specialty Glenwood Hard Coal No Rock or Slate $15.75 Per Ton try it S.
