Official Organ of the Saint Paul Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. REPORTS NATIVES ARE ROBBED AND ABUSED IN AFRICA Professor Makes Public What He Found in Portuguese Africa. Madison, Wis., July 24.—Conditions worse than slavery where native blacks are farmed out by the government on a wholesale scale, receiving no pay and forced to hard labor in Portuguese, Africa, is the report to the league of nations on native labor in Portuguese, Africa, by Prof. A. E. Ross, noted Sociologist of the University of Wisconsin. Prof. Ross, following submission of evidence gathered in Angola and Portuguese, East Africa presents 10 conclusions. Briefly they are: 1. The labor system, virtually state serfdom, which has grown up often claims so much of the natives' time and strength they are no longer able to give adequate attention to the production of food in their own gardens and fields. Officials Get Money. 2. Wages of the blacks are turned to officials by employers of natives, and there is evidence that little of it reaches the hands of the natives. It appears that the typical thing is for the earnings of those commandeered laborers to be embezzled. 3. The amount of unpaid labor exacted of skilled natives is not infrequently so excessive that the young men see nothing to be gained by their acquiring skill in the missionary schools. 4. Motor roads have been extended far beyond need of the colony. Their construction imposes a crushing burden an conscripted, unpaid, unrational natives, for the most part women. 5. There appears to be widespread labor stealing; i. e., the planter arbitrarily refuses to give credit or pay for certain days or half days of labor. No report of effort to curb practice. 6. The officials in a weak position with respect to fellow nationals, the leaders and planters, and rarely venture to guard the rights of the native as against the claim of a white man. 7. The native policemen, utilized among the stranger or enemy tribes, grossly abuse their authority for purposes of lust, spite or extortion. No Schools or Justice. 8. The government provides practically nothing in the way of schools, medical care, emergency relief or justice against the white trader for the people of the villages as recompense for the heavy burden of unrequited toil it lays upon them. 9. The treatment of natives in Portuguese territory compares so unfavorably with that experienced by the natives of Rhodesia or Belgian Congo that there is a strong tendency to emigrate across the frontier. 10. In Portuguese Africa the amount and manner of collection of hut taxes impose severe handicaps upon the natives. ```markdown ``` L.N.P.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 SONGS OF PRAISE ROLL FROM TENT AS REVIVAL OPENS SONGS OF PRAISE ROLL FROM TENT AS REVIVAL OPENS Negro Leader Asks Hearers to Perpetuate Spirit of Old Folks at Home. Rich melody, with that swinging lilt, which is peculiar to the Southern songs of praise, rolled forth from a tent at Dupont and Fourth avenues north all Sunday evening. It came from the opening meeting of a three week's evangelical campaign in Minneapolis. A sermon was preached, in which the north was adjured to look more carefully to the church, but song was the principal expression of the spirit of the gathering. The famous spirituals, new and old hymns, were sung and sung again, fervidly and lustily. Seating Capacity Taxed. Taxing the capacity of the tent, seated on crude board benches, the audience of both colored and white people listened raptly to the first sermon of the revivalist, the Rev. J. W. Harris. His text was Revelation, 3:20, "God knocking at the sinner's heart." "People think they are going to get along in heaven," said Brother Harris, "who never learned to get along with other folks on earth. "There are too many people out of the church," he continued. "God needs more earnest, whole-hearted, conscientious servants. Down south everybody goes to church, and what we need up here above all things is to perpetuate the spirit of the old folks at home. Clarence Dawrow is going to have a pretty hard time down there before he makes those folks turn away from their Bible." Other Meetings Planned. The service opened and closed with the Negro National Anthem, a comparatively new Negro Hymn, which is now being sung in all the principal Negro churches of the country. The song was written by James W. and J. Rosamond Johnson, and copies are being distributed by Harris on his tour. After the services the choir remained to practice for the succeeding meetings. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, Brother Harris will take as his text the story of the prodigal son, discussing it in full detail, with particular references for the young folks. Friday night Harris will speak on Noah's Ark. Brother Harris comes originally from Georgia and a feature of his campaign in Minneapolis will be old plantation hymns and melodies, which will be sung by the choir as a part of the nightly services.

The President has written Mr. Robert Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. The following excerpt is from Mr. Coolidge's letter to Dr. Moton: "I have taken up with the Secretary of the Treasury and General Hines the question of providing a recreation building at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee. The Secretary and General Hines realize and consider it necessary to have such a building for Negro veterans in this hospital. "The Federal Board of Hospitalization has recommended that this appropriation be used in this way."

ANNOUNCEMENT The Bulletin-Appeal will hereafter report the uncolored news of the doings in the Twin Cities from whatever source it may be found. Heretofore we have been charged with giving altogether too much space to a special class of news. Our aim will be to cover an infinite variety of race happenings, and we will fearlessly publish the facts as they may exist. TUSKEGEE VETERAN L OF THE FAMOUS TUSKEGEE VETERANB' Coolidge speaking in his office at the White House recently and the writer as he listened, realized as is so often the case where we are concerned that more than just the conduct of an institution was involved. A whole people were being placed on trial as a result of focus which the public eye had placed upon DEPLORES RACE PREJUDICE IN JUNESCRIBNER'S DEPLORES RACE PREJUDICE IN JUNESCRIBNER'S Writer Cites Achievements of the Alexander Dumas Family. Deriding a number of absurdities into which race prejudice leads white Americans, Albert Guerard, writing in the June number of Scribner's Magazine, speaks of the so-called "inferior" product of mixture and cites the Dumas family as evidence against any such inferiority. Says Mr. Guerard: "There is a plaza in Paris dedicated to the three Alexander Dumas. The first, the son of a Haytian planter and of a Negress, was a general at the time of the Revolution and the Empire. The Second, unmistakably African in coloring and features, was the jolly giant who has fascinated three generations with his romantic tales, who made and lost several fortunes, managed newspapers and theatres, hobnobbed with the greatest in the land, and preceded Henry Ford in devising methods of quantity production. The third, besides giving an everlasting and deplorable model of maudlin romanticism in 'La Dame aux Camelias', besides suffering from a painful excess of technical skill and Parisian wit, created the modern problem play, paved the way for symbolism on the stage before Ibsen had been heard of, and wrote homoletic paradoxical, glittering prefaces when Bernard Shaw, his ungrateful son, was still in his cradle. Few Nordic families could offer the same record of physical and intellectual energy as that 'colorful' dynasty of the Dumas. "Once more, I am only pleading for careful study: I am not claiming in advance that the mulatto is a desirable product. I am only stating that the fine record of many people of mixed parentage should prevent us from accepting blindly any adverse verdict. On the whole, analogies drawn from other branches of biology are favorable to cross-breeding, if it be followed by selection. (The finest breeds of dogs, horses and plants are the result of careful crossing. This proves very little, I know; but it may at any rate act as a check on a prior conclusion." FORMER ST.

Therefore it was intensely interesting on this the first anniversary of the complete control by a colored personnel, to observe the results of their regime. It is a marvelous plant, this haven which Uncle Sam has erected where his darker nephews whose health, limbs and 33 minds were shattered in his behalf, might find surcase from pain and illness with hands to tenderly care for them and skilled minds to direct their return to normalcy, free from indifference and prejudice. The story of why the hospital was built, the provision of land by Tuskegee Institute, the interest by Presidents Harding and Coolidge, the Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon; the strenuous opposition of certain elements of the South, the Ku Klux parade, the brunt borne by Dr. R. Motton need not be told here. Everyone knows it by heart, but few who have not visited the hospital can visualize its size, its scope, or its unusual possibilities.

Page 4 EGYPTIAN CROESUS PRISONER 26 YEARS Prince Ahmed in Insane Asylum Near London London.—Languishing in an insane asylum here is a multi-millionaire Egyptian nobleman who considers himself a modern Monte Christo. The man is his highness, Prince Ahmed Selfeldin, one-time brother-in-law of King Fuad of Egypt and the possessor of an income of more than $500,000 a year. For 22 years he has been kept in an asylum in the outskirts of London, with only an occasional outing in an automobile, and before that he served a four year's prison sentence in Egypt for attempting to shoot King Fuad, then Prince Fuad. Shot Brother-in-Law. Prince Ahmed is descended from Ibrahim Pasha, second son of Mehmet Ali, who in the days of the great Napoleon conquered Egypt by intrigue and battle. His sister was married to Prince Fund. In 1898, after she had told him something about her husband which enraged him, Prince Ahmed seized a revolver and fired at his brother-in-law, wounding the latter. He was arrested, tried by an Egyptian court for attempted murder and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. This term was afterward reduced to four years. In addition he had to pay the expenses of Prince Fuad's illness, which cost nearly $10,000. After serving his sentence in an Egyptian prison, Prince Ahmed was brought to England, declared insane and placed in the asylum where he has been ever since. Prince Fuad had, meanwhile, divorced Prince Ahmed's sister, and she disappears from the story. Mother Awaits His Return. But there is an aged woman living in Constantinople, Prince Ahmed's mother, who longs for the return of her son and has never ceased to work for his release from the asylum. Time after time she applied to the British government, but without success. Now that Egypt is, at least nominally, an independent country, she is trying to gain their support for her son's release. Prince Ahmed's devoted companion in the asylum is his English manservant. The prince's vast estates in Egypt are larger than an English county and bring him a yearly revenue of more than $500,000. Ever since his conviction, however, his property has been officially administered for him. Prince Rupert, B. C.—The end of a long, long trail which three members of the Royal Canadian Mounted police have been following since early in June, and which had led them through more than a thousand miles of the unattended northland of Canada, where canoes and pack dogs were the only means of transportation, was almost in sight when the three left here aboard the steamship Princess Alice for Vancouver with five Indian prisoners. The Indians, said to be virtually savages, are charged with the murder of a seventeen-year-old Indian boy whom other members of his tribe suspected of practicing witchcraft. According to the story told, the boy was hanged, head down, and stoned to death. A young girl of the tribe, likewise suspected of witchery, is said to have been suspended for three days and nights by one foot and one hand, as a result of which she was crippled. The prisoners live chiefly on meat, regarding bread with suspicion. Whole Village Converted New York.-Salvation Army headquarters here received word from Commandant Howard McGrath and Capt Samuel McGill of Plainfield, N. J., that the entire population of Samptown, N. J., a mill community five miles from Plainfield, had been "captured" and enrolled under the army flag. Cooley, Okla.—Packing their dunnage and crossing the plains of Kansas in a covered wagon to their new home in the wilds of Oklahoma, Miss Bettrice Cooley and Emma Blampled, both of Hutchinson, Kan., 20 years ago took up what seemed a worthless claim to conquer their world of dreams. The two women, in a country piligilled by outlaws, courageously built a store and post office in connection with their home on a little claim where the roads crossed and named it Cooley, Okla. One girl would care for the trade while other sat behind a curtain, rifle on her knee, prepared for invaders. Through hard work and their undying spirit the girls converted a portion of that cattle ranch into rich acres of orchard, vineyard, chicken run and sweet clover. Wearing overalls, doing all their own work, Miss Cooley, whom the town is named after, and Miss Blamplied have conquered their dreams. James A. Harris has associated with W. T.
