He graduated Thursday and intends to enter the University of Minnesota in the fall. Judge Compliments Popular Attorney When Judge John B. Sanborn of the U. S. District Court, hearing the criminal calendar, adjourned his court last Friday until 10 A. M. Tuesday, in honor of President Coolidge's visit here to the Norse Centennial, he paid a compliment to Attorney O. J. Smith, who received a verdict of not guilty by the jury for his client, there being but two verdicts returned for a liquor defendant in this court for two years. Mr. Smith has the distinction of not having lost a case, and is the youngest attorney of our group in the state. The beautiful residence of Professor A. S. Jackson, 864 St. Anthony Ave., St. Paul, was the scene at 8:00 P. M. Thursday of the wedding of Miss Louise Altomey Jackson, only daughter of Professor and Mrs. A. S. Jackson, and George Lafayette Hoage, Jr., youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Hoage, Sr. Rev. W. H. Griffen, pastor of St. James' A. M. E. Church, read the service. The house decorations, under the supervision of Mrs. Minnie Tucker of Los Angeles, Cal., aunt of the groom, consisted of Palms in profusion and en bank, peonies and "baby's breath."

Church, Monday evening, June 15, at 8:15 P. M. Lloyd Hickman, born in St. Paul, is attracting the attention of music critics in the East. The Chatauqua program states that "he possesses one of the choice and best trained voices in the East." The New York Amsterdam News, among other things, mentions that "this young man sings a mellow, powerful baritone." Maurice La Farge, eminent pianist and accompanist, says of him, "He is as big as Amato and Reinhold Wenenrath can't compare with him. If he were a white man he would be the first baritone of the Metropolitan Opera." Lloyd is to broadcast from Station WGBS Saturday, June 27, in New York City. Recently he appeared in Aeolian Hall for an audition before the Stadium Concerts Committee. Successful auditions mean an engagement with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra this summer and next winter. Our young friend is sanguine of an opportunity in this direction.

ANDREW SCHOCH PIONEER GROCER DIES OF HEARTILL St. Paul Man Active in Business Until Taken Sick Ten Days Ago. Andrew Schoch, 75 years old, died at his home at 179 Mounds boulevard Wednesday afternoon following an illness of ten days. Immediate cause of death was heart disease. Known all over the Northwest as one of the pioneer grocers of St. Paul, Mr. Schoch enjoyed a well earned popularity. Born in Kurtenberg, Germany, May 10, 1850, he was only 6 years old when his mother died. Ten years later he decided to join an elder brother who had come to the United States. In 1868 he came to Carver county, Minnesota, where he lived on a farm for two years. Came to St. Paul in 1871. He left the farm and went to East Minneapolis in 1870 but he was not satisfied with the opportunities offered there and so removed to St. Paul a few months later, where he has lived ever since. It was in 1871 that he began work in St. Paul for J. H. Hullsick, a grocer. From early in the morning until late at night he worked and studied the veteran Hullsick's methods until he believed he had a mastery of all his employer could teach him. Then with another youth he opened a grocery store under the partnership name of Schoch & Wechsler. It was in 1874 that the new grocery was opened and it grew in size and popularity until in 1880 when Wechsler retired and Mr. Schoch purchased his partner's interest. The store was operated under the same name until 1890 when Mr. Schoch organized a stock company with the stock within the family. The name was changed to the Andrew Schoch & Co., grocery store. Howard Trustees Revise Faculty; Drop Kelly Miller Howard Trustees Revise Faculty; Drop Kelly Miller Washington, D. C., June 12—The Board of Trustees of Howard University, acting upon the recommendation of an expert from Columbia University, who was engaged several weeks ago to make a survey of the various departments of the school, decided among other things to abolish the Junior College of which Kelly Miller is dean. The announcement has raised the ire of the general alumni in a strong protest. Resolutions have been passed, it is said, demanding the resignation of Dr. Durkee and also for the failure to re-elect Dr. Sinchla to the trustee board. The action of the board in such a radical revision of the faculty will redound to the detriment of Howard. The members affected have contributed in no small degree to the high standing the school attained and placed it on a par with many of the leading institutions of learning in the country. That there is serious trouble awaiting the outcome of the situation no one can deny. It may provoke a long and bitter fight before reaching a satisfactory adjustment. It has long been known that men like Prof. Miller and Prof. Locke and others, have not been paid salaries commensurate with their ability. In fact, it has been said that Howard pays the least of any school of like pretensions, demanding the service of high grade men. The entire matter is of interest to the race at large, as this school through the efforts of its founder, the late Gen. O. O. Howard, is a ward of the government and remains under its supervision. by automobile, where they will spend about ten days camping. The groom is transfer clerk in the office of the Secretary of State, and is the youngest son of Geo. F. Hoage, Sr., pioneer citizen of St. Paul. The bride is the only daughter of Prof. and Mrs. A. S.

LEACH RE-ELECTED MILL CITY MAYOR; DEFEAT RADICALS Six Members of Radical Bloc Are Routed From Dominance. Socialism went down to defeat in the Minneapolis city election Monday, it was revealed today when final returns of the voting were available. Six members of the radical bloc which has dominated the city council of that city 14 to 12 were beaten in their various wards by conservative opponents. As a result, the conservatives will control the next council, 18 to 8. Mayor George E. Leach was re-elected over former State Senator James T. Elwell by a majority of 8,232 votes. Socialism was not an issue in the mayoralty contest. The final count was: Leach, 53,533; Elwell, 45,301. Since 1913 the Socialists have been making gains in Mill City elections but all of their previous victories were forgotten Monday in the overwhelming repudiation of radicalism. For the past two years the radicals have been in complete control of the council. The sole survivor of the radical bloc in the Minneapolis city government who went before the people Monday was Alderman John Peterson of the Sixth ward, a veteran in the city council. All of his associates who went before the voters Monday were defeated.

National Urban League Secret'y Touring States National Urban League Secret'y Touring States With the recent enlargement of the program of the National Urban League, Eugene Kinckle Jones, the Executive Secretary, has embarked upon a tour of inspection and unification, planned to be the most extensive in the organization's history. Beginning last week at Detroit, he placed before the Wayne County Social Workers' Conference the new social frontage of the Negro industrial situation. He then visited Pittsburgh, center of the steel industries; on June 10, in Denver, he combines his organization activities with his function as a member of the Executive Committee of the National Conference of Social Work in session there. This conference has a membership of about 8,000 social workers throughout the country. For the first time, the frontier of the Urban League will reach the Pacific coast through a personal representative. Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, California, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, will be visited and working programs discussed. All of these cities have requested conferences on social work programs for Negroes. On July 2 Minneapolis and St. Paul are to be visited. A new organization is just being launched in Minneapolis and will be placed under the local direction of Abram L. Harris, a "fellow" of the league, and recently a professor of economics at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. On July 4 he will meet with the directors of the Chicago Urban League, where there has recently been a change in Executive Secretaries. This tour of unification will consume about six weeks and cover approximately 3,200 miles. WOMAN BEQUEATHEHS $1,000 TO N. A. A. Washington, D. C., June 12—The late Mrs. Bettie G.

Other beneficiaries of the will are: Howard University, $2,500; and Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., $1,000. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS PHILANTHROPIST SAYSNEGROTREK NORTH A BENEFIT PHILANTHROPIST SAYSNEGROTREK NORTH A BENEFIT Chicago Capitalist Says Negro Problem Is Now National Problem. Chicago, June 12—Migration of the Negro to the north, which has given rise to social problems now considered grave, will be an eventful benefit to the nation, in the opinion of Julius Rosenwald, the capitalist. "It will be a good thing for the south," he adds, "because the colored population will be more evenly distributed over the entire country and will lessen the southern fear, real or alleged, of race domination, thus removing an outstanding obstacle that has hapered that section's development." Mr. Rosenwald's prediction, part of a statement released by the Hampton-Tuskegee institute at Tuskegee, Ala., possesses timely interest by reason of his gift of $250,000 in the institute's $5,000,000 endowment fund campaign, recently announced here. How Problem Spread. "The so-called Negro problem was confined largely to the south before the World War," Mr. Rosenwald says. Now it is a national problem. Before 1914 the Negro usually was an agricultural worker. Today he is a big factor in America's industrial life. "The war virtually put a stop to foreign immigration to the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans living in this country were called to the colors. Under the stimulus of war conditions industries in the north expanded greatly. "These three factors caused a labor shortage that forced the northern industrialists to scour the country for available workers. The greatest supply of such labor was found among the Negroes of the south, and this was drawn on to a great extent. Migration Still On. "The result was the beginning of the largest migration of Negroes in the history of America, and one that is still in progress. "The migration has been marked by two phases, that of 1916-1920 and that commencing anew in 1922. The first really began in 1915, reached its maximum in 1917, and continued at a slower pace up to 1920, when the economic depression brought it to a halt. "The revival of business prosperity in 1922 brought on a new exodus from the south. Thousands of Negroes who had remained north during the period of depression wrote to their friends and relatives, urging them to come north and in many cases sending them money for the journey. "The 1920 census reported the Negro population of the nation to be about ten and one-half million, or 10 per cent of the total population. The Negro population in the north was shown to be more than one and one-half million. Movement Is Industrial. "The essentially industrial implications of the northward movement in the last eight years are revealed by the fact that more than one million of the northern Negroes, or 73 per cent, live in ten industrial centers, as follows, using round figures: District. Negroes. Indianapolis 47,500 Detroit-Toledo 55,900 Cleveland-Youngstown 58,800 Kansas City 65,400 Pittsburgh 88,300 Columbus-Cincinnati 89,600 St. Louis 102,600 Chicago 131,600 Philadelphia 248,300 New York 251,300 "The concentration of the Negro in these ten northern centers not only has projected the so-called Negro problem into the north, but has presented it in new aspects. Eighty per cent of the Negroes in the south live in rural communities. The present status and future of the Negro, therefore, are primarily linked with industry in the north, and with agriculture in the south.

Have we not all one Father; hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, and profane the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi ii, 10.) THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS ee ee ee a Se Se Se eee ee ee ee Centennial in the Twin Cities, Monday afternoon, President Cool- idge gave utterance to some mighty truths. While his talk was directed principally to the people of the Norwegian group of our citizenry, it carried with it the essence of an ideal Americanism. The President paid a high but just tribute to these stalwart descendants of the fifty-two immigrants, who in a small bark with a single mast, heavily ladened, buffeted the billows of a tempestu- ous sea for fourteen weeks before they hove to in the offing at the port of New York in 1825. He told of the friendly aid extended them by a religious society and the hard and determined fight of members of the colony to overcome obstacles and become self-sus- taining and self-respecting citizens in the country of their adop- tion. Mr. Coolidge confined himself more to a recount of historical events than an indulgence in extraneous idealism. There was a notable absence of political outline for future action, aside from an assurance of the administration's efforts to secure universal peace. In this respect he exhibited the circumspection that char- acterizes the wisdom of his rulership. There is only one weak statement in the President's speech, and that of necessity is permissible, perhaps, on an occasion that demanded that the force of his attention should be given to other subjects. In his premise, the President said that “the American people have commanded the respect of the world.” We must admit that as the chief representative of the government of the United States, Mr. Coolidge’s contention could not have well been other- wise, yet we challenge the statement in its entirety—it is only half true. It is unthinkable that a country where ninety per cent of its population permits the denial of the exercise of citizenship to ten per cent of its total, after the same has been conferred upon it by popular suffrage and the enactment of statutory law, would “command the respect of the world.” It is unthinkable also to be- lieve that a nation that tolerates racial hatred to the extent that human beings are deprived of the right of trial by jury, in a court of law and justice, and are burned at a stake by fiends, would or could, possibly, “command the respect of the world.” What world, Mr. President? Is it Mars, Jupiter, or some oth- er planetary sphere? Surely not this world upon which we live and call the earth. The respect accorded this nation by other na- tions is a respect for the American dollar and not for the American people. Any other pretension is fallacious, hypocritical and un- true. Mr. Coolidge quotes history from the light of recent scien- tific discovery and says the following: “For the real beginning of any people we must go back to the beginnings of all peoples. From the tombs of Egypt and the sands of Mesopotamia men are un- earthing civilizations so ancient that by comparison we think of the recovered wonders of Carthage as almost modern. But all that we shall learn from the glyphs of Ur, the tombs of the Pha- roahs and the measurements of Crete and Carthage is part of our own history, illumination for our todays, guide posts on the way to our tomorrows. All the past lives in the present. All the thoughts of those who have gone before have left their mark on what we think and do.” It is in keeping with the traditional inconsistency of the peculiar American mind that the President should refer to the beginning of civilization and its inspiration and influence upon the present day world without recalling the fact that its pigmentation was of dark hued complexion. It is the descendants of this early civilization in America, today, upon whom the venom of an unjust and even murderous hatred is poured by the people of whom Mr. Coolidge said “commands the respect of the world.” The question is, will there be an awakening to justice and right in this country, or will it continue its untoward course until it ends ‘in disastrous disintegration and final chaos? History re- peats itself and the immutable hand of destiny cannot be stayed by the flatus of statesmen, no matter how highly ornamented it may be with flowery embellishment. The American people are the victims of their own deception. On the whole, however, the President’s message to the Norwegian people was fitting and high- ly commendable.

Leach as mayor of Minneapolis was forecast and not cause for surprise, notwithstanding the fact that his opponent was, perhaps, the strongest candidate available. Mayor Leach has given conscientious service to the city of Minneapolis, but was opposed by an element who thought a change desirable after a tenure of four years. It is no reflection upon Senator Elwell that he failed of election. Mr. Elwell has the con- fidence of his fellow cftizens and would’ make an efficient official in any capacity. He has a record for accomplishment, and Col. Leach could do no more gracious act than to re-appoint him to-head the city planning commission when his term expires, or make other use of his valuable service. ‘The most gratifying result of the election is in the retire- ment of the radical majority in the council. This element has been detriment to the city’s progress and advancement. Their po- litical creed was hybrid, although they posed as socialists repre- senting the interests of labor. As a matter of fact they represent- ed only themselves and were without standing either in the social- ist party or labor organizations. With a good workable council Minneapolis should forge ahead and bring about reforms that will reduce taxation without injury to the public service. < ANDREW SCHOCH Death claimed Andrew Schoch, pioneer St. Paul grocer, Wed- nesday afternoon at the age of 75. Mr. Schoch had been active in the conduct of his large business up to the time of his fatal illness, about ten days ago. Coming to this country from Germany as a poor immigrant boy, he developed into a business man of large capacity and through his own industry amassed a fortune. How- ever, money with Andrew Schoch was only a means to an end, it was his greatest desire to be of service to his fellow man. No one could accuse Andrew Schoch with being a profiteer. His doctrine was to give value received and upon this basis his business was built. As an haga he was always considerate of the best inter- ests of his employees, as attested by many who have grown up with his business. Mr. Schoch was a charitable man and his benefactions were many. He detested publicity, preferring to give anonymously. No poor man or woman worthy of help ever asked Andrew Schoch for assistance in vain, He was in the food business, and he generously filled many an empty basket to supply the wants of hungry chil- dren. In all his long career he was without racial or religious prejudice. He had been a consistent advertiser in this paper for forty years and was a pronounced friend of the race. fe regret his passing and feel that we have lost a friend. ‘ THE PASSING OF MRS. WASHINGTON The death of Margaret M. Washington, widow of Booker T. Washington, brings to a close a life exemplfied by sacrifice and well doing. Mrs. Washington was endowed by nature for service and leadership. While her illustrious husband projected his per- sonality into the affairs of the world and played a dominant part, it did not obscure the worth and value of Margaret Washington from the public estimate, nor did the shadow of his greatness ob- literate her marked individuality. Mrs. Washington found her place and filled it with signal usefulness, It was Mrs. Washington who taught her sex, young and old, at Tuskegee, the beauty, of virtue and the duty of motherhood. Through her untiring efforts she taught the gospel of cleanliness of mind, body and soul. She labored to bring about better living conditions, hygenic and otherwise. - Mrs. Washington was well qualified to take her pine in the educational scheme of her husband, having through her own ef- forts, largely, acquired an academical education. Her passing at the age of sixty is an evidence of the strain of her early activity. Her influence for good will be felt, not alone at Tuskegee, but by the motherhood of the race throughout the country.. s Gleanings From Our Exchanges RACE PREJUDICE REBUKED In a recent-issue of this magazine we did a serious injustice to the International Committee of the yonag Men’s Christian As- sociation upon what we took for a carefully prepared and fair statement made in a reputable publication in which only part of the facts were disclosed.

We said that this Committee, of which President Moton of Tuskegee is a member, had made it impossible for him to be with them by holding this meeting in Washington, where no hotel would receive him as a guest at any table where they might sit down together where food was served. It is true that the Secretary of the Committee did suggest that because of the situation Dr. Moton be asked to find accommodations in the city with friends and only meet with the Committee at its execu- tive session. The real facts are that when Mr. Mott, the Chairman of the Committee, learned of the refusal of the Washington hotels to receive Dr. Moton, he immediately arranged to have the place of meeting changed to another city, and when even then the plans went awry changed again to White Plains, N. Y., where a gentle- man is received quite independently of his complexion. We are more than glad to correct the wrong impression con- veyed by our editorial. Mr. Mott and his associates we feel sure claim no commendation for doing only what any group of Christian men would do.—Our Dumb Animals. a . * ’ * Americanization Series | EGBERT AUSTIN WILLIAMS—THESPIAN Egbert Andtin, Wiliama-better ksown, to. the pubic sm sect Wilising— ns born November 12, 1875, on the island of Antigua, British West Indies.

But it was years before any manager thought enough of them to Present them in a.cast, Finally, in 1898, they were engaged to appear in “The Gold Bug” at the Casino theater, NewYork. At the tas minate the management weakened and left them out, The Gold Bug” roved an instantaneous failure, ‘The next night Williams and Walker were put Back in the cast and converted it into a surprising success, ‘That was the making of the team, But they still had many obstacles to overcome. They had downs as well as ups. They were dropped from a Chicago company hecause they failed to score.” They made an unsuccessful invasion of England. They produced two shows of their own, which failed. Then came the “Sons of Ham,” which ran two years, and in which Williams finally setted on the character he portrayed $0 successfully for the rest of his life, “In Dahomey,” in 1902; at, them at las. in the heart of Broadway, In 1902 they appeared in the same show before the King of England. ‘Then followed Abyssinia—a spectacular combination of comic opera and drama in which King Menelik, then an international figure, was portrayed. This vehicle proved a greater success than “In Dahomey.” __ Walker's health failed in 1907 and he was forced to retire. Until his death in 1911, however, Williams continued to share the income of his enterprises with his partner. In 1910 Williams entered the Follies. He spent most of his time there for the next ten years, His last show was “Under the Bamboo Tree.” He had been ill for some time but played on until he virtually broke down. He died in New York in March, 1922. While on a trip to the British Isles he became a Mason at Edin- bang, Scotland. At the time of his death he was buried under the auepces of is rc members of white lodges in New York in re: se to cal juest. White not downright wealthy, he feft a considerable estate. a It isn’t difficult to say what made Williams a success. Hard work and a nat- tural aptitude for it, were large factors. An odd turn of mind, evidenced in his ‘mimicry, his songs, his stories and in the whimsical character’ he invented—the easy, going, shiftless, imposed upon creature to whom Inck was never kind—was the basis of hhis hold upon the public, As a black-faced comedian he was with- out an equal, though he has been greatly imitated. ‘Bert Williams was a fine personality in private life. A man of intelligence anda reader of good literature. “He was the most popular actor the race ever produced. a . ‘THE NORTHWESTERE-BULIATIN APPEAL “and Col. Leach!

It is to be hoped that men may soon acquire enough independence to emulate the ex- ample now’ being’set by women: Miss Walker, a most charming *and versatile young" woman, will be a valu- lable asset to Wilberforce ‘and a credit Page 4 NEWS OF THE LODGES Household of Ruth No. 4671, G.

Philanthropist Says Negros' Trek North a Benefit istration and probably will remain in force for another four years. Even should the law be repealed, thousands of Negroes have acquired skill in mechanical occupations that puts them beyond the likelihood of replacement by foreign labor. In short, northern industrialists have come to look to the Negro for the labor supply in their factories and workshops. For some of these tasks men and women who have had training at Hampton and Tuskegee are well fitted. Choose Workers with Care. "These industrialists are now carefully selecting their Negro workers. Some have made special efforts to employ only married men, and then to provide such housing and working conditions as will keep them satisfied. One large iron foundry which pursued this policy reported that the turnover among its Negro workers was only 10 per cent. "Apparently the settling of the Negro in the north is permanent. Many of the factors that brought him north operate to keep him there. "There is good ground for believing that the migration of the Negro will have a beneficial effect on the nation. "The Negro's rise in the scale of occupations has given him a greater purchasing power and a higher standard of living." Mr. Rosenwald continues. "To his credit it should be said that, for the most part, he tries sincerely to live up to his opportunities in the north. Training Is Hopeful Sign. "One of the most hopeful signs for the future of the Negro in the north is that the opportunities there are attracting young colored men and women trained in such schools as Hampton and Tuskegee. These two schools, and others of their type, not only give a thorough training in mechanical occupations, but their whole system of education tends to turn out young men and women who will be community teachers and leaders. "Those trained in what has become known as the 'Hampton-Tuskegee' method strive to bring about co-operation between the white and colored races and to reduce interracial friction. Leaders of this type are bound to have a salutary influence on the Negro communities everywhere." 10 The dashes and middle distance runs usually furnish keen competition and plenty of thrills as was amply illustrated in the big ten meet at the Columbus A Digest of General News Here & There New York—Manhattan Lodge of Elks No. 45 has voted $6,000 for the new Presbyterian Hospital.

Four Social Workers Are Graduated Atlanta, Ga; June 12—Completing its fifth year of successful operation, the Atlanta School of Social Work conferred four certificates of graduation at its annual commencement Friday evening. The graduates were Misses Louise Heard, Salome Crawford and Rose L. Smith of Atlanta, and Miss Helen Willis of Macon, Ga. All four go immediately into practical social work, Miss Heard taking employment in Columbus, Georgia, Miss Willis in Houston, Texas, and Miss Crawford and Smith doing volunteer summer work with welfare organizations in this city, for the sake of further experience. The Atlanta School of Social Work, which was established in 1920, is the only institution of the kind in the United States for the training of colored social workers. It has been steadily adding to its faculty and curriculum, as increasing financial support has made expansion possible. A grant of $5,000 from the Russell Sage Foundation has just been made to the school, conditioned on the-raising of an equal amount from individual donors. A like sum is received annually from the Laura Spelman Memorial. The graduates of the institution are in great demand and usually find employment before graduation. The school is under the direction of an interracial board of trustees and the faculty is composed of both colored and white specialists in the field of social work. The institution is headed by Prof. E. Franklin Frazier, an M. A. graduate of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., Research Fellow of the New York School of Social Work, and American Fellow of the University of Copenhagen.
