SAVON RACE P THEORY "POI CK" "Mob Riff-Raff Has No Race Pride but has Votes to intimidate." (Associated Negro Press) Greensboro, N. C., Mar. 16.—What is regarded as one of the finest editorial expressions ever written in a plea for law and order, while at the same time upbraiding the South for dealing with facts artificially, appeared recently in the Greensboro News, with reference to the Bullock case. This newspaper is one of the most influential publications of the South, and may be regarded as speaking officially, when writing under the headline of "What Lynching Means to the South." The News says: "The Governor will not humiliate the state, he declares, by sending witnesses to testify for it in a petty judicial officer's court in Canada. No danger. That isn't what has humiliated the state. If the state had sent a few Warren county lynchers to the penitentiary, it would probably have been under no obligation to send witnesses to Canada in order to secure the extradition of Bullock. Reputation As Murders "Let us keep this thing straight. Canada may have been a little over zealous, but she had plenty of reason. We have a reputation of being bloodthirsty murderers down here in North Carolina, and it is our industrious lynchers who have secured that reputation for us. We shall never be regarded as a thoroughly civilized people until we stop this lynching business. It's no use talking in grandiloquent Tom Dixonish terms about what a white man will stand and what a white man won't stand. A white man has got to stand by the law, if he expects to hold up his head among other white men. Mobs Are Off-Scourings Mobs Are Off-Scourings "All this snorting about the fierce pride of the Anglo-Saxon race is the most disgusting poppycock ever invented. If no Negro were ever lynched for anything but rape, it might have some shadow of excuse. But alleged rapists constitute only a small proportion of the victims of mobs in the South these days. Negroes are lynched for all manner of crimes, ranging down to simple misdemeanors. Matthew Bullock's brother was not lynched for rape, but for shooting at white men. Furthermore, as every Southern knows, the mobs are not composed of fiercely proud Anglo-Saxons, but usually of the off-scourings of creation—the poorest, morally, of poor white trash, plug-uglies and thugs of every imaginable description, many of them wanted themselves by the police, occasionally under the leadership of some semi-respectable white man of the rattle headed type. The idea that any thoroughly decent citizen took part in any of the four affairs of the sort that disgraced the state last year is absurd. Everlasting Disgrace "This sort of riff-raff has no race pride, nor any other sort of pride, it has merely a congenital tendency toward disorder, easily inflamed into crazy blood-lust. But it also has votes. Therefore, elected officers, more interested in holding their jobs than in doing their duty, fear it with a ghastly fear, and repudiating their oaths, let the mob work its will. That is what lynching means in the South today. There is not one redeeming element, not one word that can be said in its defense. It is our everlasting disgrace, the one foul shame that blots our civilization and as long as we continue to palliate and condone it, it will disgrace us." STERLING CLUB TO BE IN NEW HOME SOON At a meeting held Wednesday evening, the Sterling Club unanimously voted to be in their new home within a few months. Negotiations for the club-house, under way, will be closed as soon as possible. Hammond Turner, chairman of the building committee, reported satisfactory progress was being made. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Eighth Annual Health Week Dates April 2 to 8 From Utah AND PENNSYLVANIA, FROM MISSISSIPPI AND MONTANA, SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE COMING IN FOR THE BULLETIN—THE NORTHWEST'S GREAT NEGRO PAPER. How About You, Mr. Twin City Man? Klan Given Permit to Parade Through Negro Settlement Hyattsville, Md., March 16.—The common council has granted a permit to the local Ku Klux Klan for a parade to be made on March 17. One thousand five hundred men, in full regalia, are expected to be in the line. The council's permit stipulated that the parade should include the Negro settlement in the southern part of the city where there appears to be a growing disregard for "white supremacy." Date Advanced For N.A.A.C.P. Dinner Dinner Conference on Race Relations in City Moved to April 10 April 10 is the new date set by the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P. for the dinner which will precede the annual spring membership drive, Dr. V. D. Turner, chairman of the executive committee, announced Thursday. Will Discuss Problems It is expected that every organization and agency in the city will be represented at the gathering, which will be held in the Masonic hall, 588 Rondo street. The purpose of the supper conference is to secure every shade of opinion on race relations in the city, and to formulate policies whereby good relations may be continued and poor ones improved. Conditions within the race group will also be discussed. Already several organizations have signified their intention of being represented at the conference. Prominent citizens have indicated that they would attend. It is urged that reservations be placed early, as only 100 can be accommodated. Tickets may be secured at Dr. Turner's office in the Dakota building. AMATEUR MINSTREL GREAT SUCCESS The Amateur Minstrel given by the Progressive Literary Society, at the Y. W. C. A. Club Center, Wednesday evening, March 15, was a great success. The display of talent was surprising and commendable. It showed the public that St. Paul has some future artists of the vaudeville stage. Special mention can be made of the acting of Sylvester Roberts. From the amount of applause received, it can be said that his act was enjoyed by all those present. There was several other interesting acts. These constituted a well arranged program that could be appreciated for the fact that the actors were only amateurs. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922. Newspapers, Women's Clubs, School Officials, Members of the Medical Fraternity, and Other Agencies Asked to Co-Operate PROGRAM MAPPED OUT FOR ENTIRE WEEK Bulletin of the United States Public Health Service is Available for use—Tuskegee to furnish Literature.

C., Mar. 16.—The New Lincoln Theatre is opened. More than five thousand people loudly clamored for admittance at the formal opening last Monday night with the result that the 2,200 seating capacity of the magnificent $600,000 structure was taxed to the limit with a representative audience of the best people of this city of magnificent distances and stately structures. Comedy Offering "Mutt and Jeff" was the attraction presented by the Conolly Colored Players and the performance sustained the judgment of the house's promoters in the selection of this delightful bit of foolery for an opening bill. The Conolly Players will be retained at the Lincoln for an indefinite period and will present standard dramas and comedies of the highest class. A release of the "Whiper Reel Negro News" was a feature of the evening's program and proved a revelation and positive sensation to the big audience. Notables Present There were many out of town notables present when the curtain went up on the first act of the comedy, many of whom were managers of the theatres and newspaper men. Joe Ennis and Jack Garrison of the Capitol theatre; Harry Crandall and his executive staff; Nelson Ball of the Republic; S. J. Hornstein of the Regent theatre, Baltimore; S. H. Dudley, Eastern manager of the T. O. B. A.; Leigh Whipper of the "Reel Negro News," A. F. Brook, theatrical business man of Charleston, S. C.; C. E. Mitchell, banker of Charleston, W. Va.; N. D. Brascher, editor in chief of the Associated Negro Press; Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle; Edward J. Morris of the Scimitar Magazine, and Melvin Chisolm, the magazine writer, were among those present. Between the first and second acts short addresses were made by Finley Wilson, J. A. Jackson of the Billboard, and Rufus Byars and Harry Crandall. Rufus Byars entertained fourteen of the notables at the Dreamland Cafe after the performance. Minneapolis Forum Program for Young Exercises for Late Colonel in Army will be Held Sunday Memorial services for Colonel Charles Young will be held by the Minneapolis forum at Border M. E. church, Fourth avenue north and Lyndale, at 2:30 P. M. Sunday, March 19. The program was postponed this late because the forum meeting did not fall on March 12. Dr. L. R. Hill will be the principal speaker. Booker W. Harris, a student in the college of dentistry at the University of Minnesota, will tell of Colonel Young as a fraternity man. Appropriate musical numbers will be on the program. ST. PAUL FORUM Several speakers were on the program of the N. A. A. C. P. forum last Sunday in honor of the late Colonel Young. O. C. Hall, W. T. Francis, L. R. Hill and Theodore Inge spoke on different phases of the life of the army officer. Mrs. Harriet Hall sang two songs.

The body lay in state in the holy edifice for two hours previous to the services. The Dolly Sisters and others equally famous elbowed with those of little or no repute for a last look at the man who had made millions happy. Egbert Austin Williams was born in New Providence, British Bahama in 1876; and was brought to New York by his father, at the age of two years. He was taken by his parents to Riverside, Cal., where he grew up. He graduated from the high school there. His first theatrical experience was with a mountebank minstrel company of youths that played the mining and lumbering camps in the mountain towns. In 1895 he joined George Walker in a partnership that lasted till Mr. Walter's death in 1909. Among the productions made famous by the team of stars were the "Policy Players," "Bandana Land" and "Abbyssinia." The latter played ten weeks on Broadway, in those days a record for a Colored attraction. In 1902, the Company was taken to England where they duplicated the American success. After the retirement of George Walker, Bert Williams went under contract to Florenz Zeigfield with whom he remained as feature of the Follies from 1911 until 1917. His last piece, "Under the Bamboo Tree" opened in Cincinnati, and was due in New York in 3 weeks. While playing Edinburg, Scotland, he with other members of his company were made members of Waverly Lodge of Masons No. 597. He is survived by a wife, Charlotte Alice, and two nieces. Priest tells of Quaint Pygmy Races in Africa Dr. Van Den Berg, Authority on African Peoples, Relates Story of Splendid Dying Race in Dark Continent Chicago, Ill., March 16.—A quiet, dignified man in the garb of a priest told, in the casual manner one would employ in explaining a walking trip from the Federal building to the Art institute, of anthropological, missionary and moving-picture taking expeditions into the heart of unknown Africa, of his discovery of the Mambuti pygmy people and of the dying race of the Masai. The quiet speaker was Dr. Leonard John Van Den Berg, one of the world's greatest living authorities on native peoples of Africa. "The white man's civilization when accompanied by his views is bad on the native black man." "Too promiscuous living," he said, "is responsible for the fast disappearance of one of the finest races of men I have ever seen or heard of. These are the Masai, a race of big, splendid people, with marvelous powers of physique and endurance, who have dwindled in number from 250,000 o 25,000 since 1900. Their villages are in British East Africa. I visited two of their towns. In one there were three children below 9 years of age. In the other there were no children. "They have maintained their ancient traditions, will have nothing to do with white men, will not eat 'mealies'—that is, grain, beans or other vegetables—their diet consisting only of meat, milk and raw blood, which they churn to a foam in gourds much as civilized people churn cream for butter." Dr. Van Den Berg was the first white man to penetrate to the villages of the Mambuti, or pygmies, although, as he explained, other white men had seen them in the forests. This race, too, he said, is dying out fast, losing more than 50 per cent of their numbers in the 1919 influenza epidemic. "They have no physical endurance," he said, in speaking of these people, who average four feet in height. "They live entirely in the forests, eating only what the forest provides, cultivating no lands, moving from one village to another as they deplete the natural foods of their forests. They are the only race of monogamists in Africa, even going so far in their strict observance of this moral rule as not to marry except in rare instances." BEAUTY ARTIST IN MILL CITY Mrs. E. J. Knox-Mosby, recently of Chicago, has opened her beauty culture parlors at 2906 Portland avenue, Minneapolis. Mrs. Mosby studied in the Beauty Culture College of Washington, D.

Of Quaint Places in Africa Mine Ownership by Government, Topic of Hampton Debate (Associated Negro Press) Hampton, Va., March 15.—Resolved, that the U. S. Government should own and control its mining industry" was the subject of the Adams Prize debate, which was recently held at Hampton Institute. The Douglass literary society presented the negative argument and won the debate. The winning team consisted of John T. Jones of Montgomery, Ala.; S. Miller Johnson of Thornton, Ark., and Harry E. Cook of Delrol, Va. On April 15 a team of Hampton Institute girls will debate a team of boys in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute. The subject will be announced later. Howard 'U' Faculty In Lecture Series Professors Open Second Course of Free Talks to Public (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 16.—The second series of free public lectures to be given by the faculty of Howard University began March 2, 1922, with the lecture upon the subject: "The Remaking of Man," by Prof. Algernon B. Jackson, director of the school of public health, Howard University. The initial series of faculty lectures which were held last year brought beneficial results and warranted a continuance this year. Among the lectures included in the series for this year will be the discussion of the subjects: "The Rise and Development of the American School of Painting" on March 9, by Mr. James Vernon Herning, instructor of agriculture; "The Influence of Women in Education" on March 23, by Associate Professor Martha MacLear; "The Negro Lawyer," on April 16, by Professor Robert H. Terrell; "Some Features of Modern Economics," on April 20, by Dean E. L. Parks; and:The Evolution of Democratic Representation in Modern England," on April 27, by Associate Professor Charles H. Wesley. NEW TRIAL SOUGHT With F. L. Barnett, Chicago attorney, ill with influenza, R. C. McCulough, attorney, of Duluth, is in the city awaiting the chance to make an appeal before the state Supreme Court, next week, for a new trial for Max Maxon, convicted on charge of assault on a white girl in Duluth in 1920. Mason was denied a new trial by the District Court of St. Louis county sometime ago. PRICE, 5 CENTS New Appointee is Introduced to Office and Staff in Washington ADMITTED TO PRACTICE BEFORE SUPREME COURT "I Wish to be National Helper, Not National Leader," says Incumbent (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 16.—Honorable Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds, is entitled to membership in the favored "six foot" class, and is comfortably above 200 pounds in weight. Mr. Free was a law student of Howard University, more than twenty years ago, and has some interesting experiences of his college days, but he shall remember Wednesday, March 1, 1922, as one of the big and busy days of his life. It was on this date that he assumed charge of the recorder's office. The office of Recorder of Deeds stands out in racial history in America, as an outpost of leadership. As a presidential appointment, the official is not only regarded as an administration spokesman, but what he says politically is supposed to largely reflect the sentiments of the group with which he is identified. With eight years of Democratic administration, with a minimum of Negro office holders, with open and secret propaganda to prevent Colored Americans from holding outstanding positions, it is quite natural that the people are interested in the beginning of the Free administration, and, also, in knowing some of the policies of the incumbent. Admitted to Court Practice Mr. Froe went first to the offices of Congressman Wells Goodykoontz, of the Fifth West Virginia district, where he lives. There he was greeted by former Congressman Cooper and others. From the Congressman's office, Mr. Froe was escorted by Congressman Goodykoontz to the United States Supreme Court, where on motion of the Congressman, Mr. Froe was admitted to practice before that body. The next destination was the office of Senator Davis Elkins of West Virginia who, with Senator Howard Sutherland, of the same state, and Congressman Goodykoontz, had pre- (Continued on page 4) NEW COFFEE SHOP OPENS FOR BUSINESS On Monday evening, March 20th, The Elite Coffee Shop, 631 Sixth Ave. No., will have their grand opening to which the public is invited. Arrangements have been made to accommodate the public in the most pleasing manner. Good music will feature. This new enterprise will carry in stock a full line of fine coffees, imported teas, flavoring extracts, cooking and table sauces and fancy groceries in conjunction with a soda fountain, ice cream parlor, fine candies and a full line of cigars and cigarettes. The coffee department is under the personal direction of Mrs. John L. Gibson, while the fountain and "sweets" are attended by Miss Irene Mullins. All coffee and peanuts are roasted by the latest model Royal roaster. Daily window demonstrations are being held for the public's inspection. This is the first business enterprise of this nature ever attempted by members of the race in the Twin Cities and is worthy of patronage and commendation. It is not a restaurant nor a lunch counter but a thoroughly equipped, up-to-date coffee shop. Several additional features are now being considered which will be announced from time to time, according to the management. MRS. J. O. VINEGAR SERIOUSLY ILL Mrs. John O. Vinegar, 550 Seventh avenue N., is critically ill with pneumonia at the General hospital. She is being attended by her mother, Mrs. Martha J. Turner of Omaha, Nebraska. Mrs. Alfred Jones, sister, also of Omaha, was unable to remain at the bedside and returned to Omaha Tuesday morning. Mrs. Vinegar has been ill since Sunday. March 5.

COME TO CHURCH MARCH 19 Sunday, March 19, has been designated by the Federation of churches as Come to Church Sunday. Come to Church Sunday is a much more hard-hrased invitation than Go to Church Sunday, as something of the ring of true hospitality is a genuine, hearty invitation. The phrase befits church better than the other. With the curse and growing criticism of the church as an institution, that body can do no better than to say "I am and see what we are." Once the invitation accepted, it is up to the church to vindicate it. Come to Church Sunday offers an opportunity to list the lukewarm, and even the antagonist in the work of the church. On that day many people go to church out of deference to the one who come out of curiosity, and some go with the definite idea of renewing their duties as church members. The impression that each minute makes on this audience will determine largely, real, basic value of a come to Church Sunday. Value is not measured in mere attendance figure or is it based on the number of people in attendance that has not been present for long period of time. Rather is it measured by the number of adherent of the people who have been given an impression, a greater conception of the work function of the church. The slogan is an invitation to the pew and challenge to the pulpit. Let both the layman and pastor Come to Church Sunday, March 19. "O. T." A certain Biblical passage might be paraphrased, "It is harder for a camel to go through a needle than it is for Colored people to art a project on time." It matters not what that project may be benicic, a party, a committee meeting, a mass ming, a dance, a banquet, even a religious service is sure to begin late, anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours late. Some philosophers might siege upon this point in proving that Negro races have natural tendencyencies. Some of the "Pollyaar school might find it a "delightful individual trait we don't believe either one. The thing has allowed to go on and on for so long that now expects to begin anything on time. It condition that has resulted from catering to, dulging people. The way to check tardiness is to begin on the curses and feelings, and even reputations matter at first, but gradually the evil would be checked.

Such value is not measured in mere attendance figures, nor is it based on the number of people in attendance that has not been present for long periods of time.

A certain Biblical passage might be paraphrased thus, "It is harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for Colored people to start a project on time."

THE FEAR OF THE BLACK BALLOT Of late there has come up a deal of agitation, comment on the necessity or the possibility setting Negroes to Congress. It has been he me quarters that it is absolutely necessaryack men sit in the legislative chambers of tion. We are unable to agree precisely with this because it seems to us to lack some necessary a cations. If Negroes are properly qualified for polisitions, if they aspire to them, and if they s other requirements of the office, the fact Of late there has come up a deal of agitation and comment on the necessity or the possibility of electing Negroes to Congress. It has been held in some quarters that it is absolutely necessary that black men sit in the legislative chambers of the nation. We are unable to agree precisely with this view because it seems to us to lack some necessary qualifications. If Negroes are properly qualified for political positions, if they aspire to them, and if they satisfy other requirements of the office, the fact that they are Colored should not operate to exclude them from the running. Elect Negro representatives if, from every angle, they are as good or better than other representatives. Do not elect Negro representatives if color is the whole, or the majority of their platforms. For where Negro voters are numerous enough to elect a Negro representative who will carry out their wishes, they are numerous enough to elect others who will carry out their wishes. All of which brings to us our main proposition: the fear of the black ballot in a qualified white representative is a more powerful stimulant to good legislation than the presence of a black face in Congress. The effect of the presence of a Negro in Congress would not be negligible. It would, no doubt, curb the application of insulting and degrading terms to the race; it would engender a certain amount of respect for the black constituency of the country; and, perhaps, it would bring forth some needed legislation directly or indirectly affecting the race question. Besides these things, it would bring the Negro as a whole into a closer and much needed contact with governmental machinery. However these things, while valuable are not fundamental. The checking of discriminatory legislation, the fostering of impartial laws, and the enforcing of present statutes, constitute the fundamental work. White representatives, properly controlled, can do these things. They can do them because they are not handicapped by color. Whatever other feelings they may have to overcome on the floor of Congress, they do not have to waste a valuable term battering down open and secret color prejudice, they do not have to weigh every little action. because they know that they can explain it away at election time without having to argue against a deadly, ever-present color prejudice, they can rise in power to committees and chairmanships, and they can lend weight by their color, if you will, to legislation of positive benefit to the race. Witness the Dyer Bill. Why did Representative Madden, of the appropriations committee, sidetrack certain appropriations for the Dyer Bill? Primarily because of the voters in Chicago's black belt. Why, indeed, did Congressman Dyer sponsor the bill. Primarily because of the black voters in St. Louis. We are not against black legislators. We do not believe that we, as a race, have not produced men worthy to sit in Congress. But we do hold that the election of black men over white men simply because they are black, or where such election gives promise of no fundamental benefit, either immediate or ultimate, is destructive rather than constructive effort. It were far better, especially where white men have worked up to positions of power, to keep the fear of the black ballot in their political hearts.

A. in the Minneapolis Journal. mention has been made of a plant, production and distribution of films plays and to guarantee their appearance will cater to them only. A plan has much to commend it.

But if they in movie life this quality must be n Recent mention has been made of a plan to centralize the production and distribution of films produced by Negro actors and to guarantee their appearance in a circuit which will cater to them only. Such a plan has much to commend it. The motion picture industry as such is a fixture in American life. It has become the chief source of entertainment for the masses. The number of Negroes who take advantage of this form of entertainment is sufficient to guarantee substantial support to any theatre catering to them especially. And, it would be only natural for them to find special pleasure in witnessing films produced by actors of their own race. The reception given to the plays already produced is proof of that fact. But it must also be realized by those who would become producers, that the "movie taste" of Negro audiences has been cultivated to the extent that it is discriminating. Just anything will no longer suffice. The novelty of seeing a Negro on the screen has worn off. The public from now on will demand in an ever-increasing degree that films of Negro actors measure up in every way with those to which it has been accustomed. It will be satisfied with nothing less. In short, the public will soon stop paying to see pictures just because they happen to have been produced by Negro companies and this also is natural. Those who seek diversion demand the best obtainable. Those theatre proprietors who have always striven to furnish the best possible in this line have had no fault to find with the support which has been given them. We commend the plan outlined. We hope that it may soon develop that Negro films can compare favorably with any produced. But we as members of the public realize that however much we may hope for this it can never be realized except as those who attempt to produce them employ men of education as title and scenario writers and actors of ability and training to portray their characters. Thoroughness has not yet made itself felt sufficient among producers of Negro films.

Situ- ting scenic spots of America, it has and wild though attractive tract ble resort with cottages glorious Idlewild, the beautiful Michigan summer resort bids fair to become known as the "Playground of Colored America." The history of this thriving and popular place which is owned entirely by Colored families and where folk from New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Paul, Kansas City and Cleveland spent so delightful a summer last year is unique. Situated in one of the charming scenic spots of America, it has developed from a lake and wild though attractive tracts of woods into a veritable resort, with cottages galore, where hundreds of people, among them the country's celebrities, spend their vacation. The Idlewild Improvement company has just announced a program of development for the coming spring and summer which will be of interest to the thousands who enjoyed last year's outing. There is to be a community electric plant, with over 500 lights on Club House Island alone; several new private dining rooms, convenient wash rooms for both men and women near the beach, a summer garden, tea houses, a large garage, a new billiard salon and improved dancing arrangements with a permanent orchestra. In fact, all of Idlewild's fans and the hosts who are expected this year will find no longer lack of room, accommodation nor amusement. "OPEN THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH to all creeds and races and the last vestige of unbelief would be swept away forever," says the Rev M. P. Burns of Philadelphia at the M. E. Conference in Chicago, but in the South they are seeking the passage of laws to prevent this very thing. There you have the difference in the make-up of the two sections—the North gazing eagerly forward to the dawn of a new day—the South gazing blindly backward into the night. If a Negro "had the impudence" to go to the Lord's table (or to what they call by that name) in a southern white Church they would probably give him the bread and wine, but he would soon find out that he had been partaking of what Catholics call "Extreme Unction,"—there would be a neck-tie party after church.

'U.N.LA.NEWS After a few remarks by Mr. J. N. Smith in tribute to the late Colonel Young, the meeting was addressed by the Rev. Carlyle Stewart of Min- neapolis. The subject selected by the speaker was “The Negro of Yes- terday, Today and Tomorrow,” which he treated with a thorough- ness that was commendable. The Negro race {s the only race which is not organized for relief and improvement as other races are, the speaker declared. The fact that we are unavoidably Negroes has been impressed upon us by the Caucasians in effort to make us think it a cure, and as a result a large number of our race feel that it is a disgrace to be known as a Negro. He quoted Meyer’s Ancient History, “The black man {fs a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for his more favor- ed brethren.” Some people have come to the conclusion that this is a fact. The dominant race has edu- cated the people to believe that all that is white is pure and clean, while black is accepted as the color repre- senting impurity and evil deeds. ‘The people have apparently over- looked the fact that the Negro at one time ruled the world. From the beginning of written history the Negro has played an important part. The Egyptians, who were a black race, were a ruling power of no small importance in the early days. At that time deeds now unaccounta- ble were accomplished such as the building of the pyramids and the crossing of the Alps. The trouble with the civilization of that time, u= pointed out by the speaker, was the {dol worship instead of the Christian religion and ideals. The midnight of slavery followed the downfall of the dark race. Late in last cen- tury came the ray of light as the religion of the true God sifted in to the brain of the Negro. ‘The Negro who denies his race be- cause of the fact that they have once been slaves needs to look back at the records and see that all the races of history have once been slaves and such a thing is no worthy base for disgrace such as has been instilled in our minds by the other race. ‘The speaker then made clear that we are responsible for what we are today and it is up to us to make a way for ourselves so that we may not always be a despised people. ‘This is only to be accomplished by real work and not by bloody actions, although we need to learn the old Sparton inspiration which taught the youth to fight to win and to bring back his shield or be brought back on it. We can look back with pride upon the history of all ages and find our race men have left worthy marks in all lines. The Negro of today is on trial, and the Negro of tomorrow will be the results of the Negro to- day, Many people think we are too Godly a race and that we should be more willing to fight, but remember that the :nation that forgets God must surely die; so we must govern ourselves accordingly. The program was closed with a well rendered reading from Paul Laurence Dunbar by Miss L. M. Moore entitled, “The Party.” Robert Moton Guest At Chicago Banquet eee. March 14 Th Chicago, Ill, March 16.—The Chi- cago Business league was host at a brilliant banquet given in honor of Dr. Robert R. Moton here last week. The dinner, which was held in the Appomattox Club, brought together Chicago's most representative clti- zens to do honor to the President of the National Negro Business league. The Chicago Association of Com- merce, the Chicago Boosters’ club and the mayor joined in messages of welcome to the national organization to hold its convention in Chicago next August.

PAE i YOUR PATRONAGE 80- ) LICITED SANITARY MEAT MAR- GOOD FRESH MEATS ‘317 Carroll Ave. St. Paul Page 4 Froe Enters Upon Du ties as Recorder (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) sented Mr. Froe's name to President Harding for the position of Recorder of Deeds. Senator Elkins, his secretary, John W. Fenton, and a number of others present, joined in extending congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Froe. The next destination was the Recorder's office. Chief Deputy Recorder, Robert W. Dutton, who was appointed by the late John C. Dancy, was master of ceremonies. Accompanied by retiring Recorder John F. Costello, the delegation went to the District Court building, where Mr. Froe presented his commission from President Harding and was sworn into office by Wm. E. Williams, assistant clerk of the District Supreme Court. Returning to the Recorder's office, the new Recorder was taken to his private office, where the entire staff was introduced to Mr. Free by Mr. Costello, assisted by Mr. Dutton. The Recorder of Deeds offices occupy four floors of the Century building, opposite the Supreme Court building, and have a staff of 53, a majority women, and a number of them of our group. Most of the employees have been in government service there for a long time. Farewells and Greetings Following the introductions, Deputy Recorder Dutton, on behalf of the employees of the department, presented Mr. Costello with a mammoth, carved solid silver tray. Mr. Costello was visibly affected by this tribute of esteem, and bade all a cordial farewell. Then Mrs. M. L. Wright, one of the Recorder's staff, on behalf of the employees, delivered a most eloquent address of welcome to Mr. Froe, and presented him with a large basket of American Beauty roses. Mr. Froe, in his response, struck a happy chord, when he praised the efficiency of the work done there, but deplored the small salaries, and said one of his missions would be to assist in the bettering of the salary condition. For the present, at least, according to Mr. Froe, there will be no changes in the organization staff, most of whom are under vicil service. Recorder's National Outlook Mr. Froe stated that he had come to Washington to be of service to the people in any helpful way. "There is no desire on my part to be a national leader; but I do wish to be a national helper," said Mr. Froe. Continuing, he said: "We are passing though a serious period and there is much work to be done. In doing this work there must be a spirit of unity. "The people will find that I believe in upstanding manhood. I believe we are entitled to justice, and it shall be my duty to assist in any way I can. "Call on me any time for anything I am able to do, and I will be glad to co-operate. I recall with pleasure the illustrious service as Recorder performed by Hon. John C. Dancy, Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson and others. I am deeply grateful for the honor that has come to me, and I shall endeavor to conduct the work with credit to the cause and race that I represent." Mr. Free stated that Mrs. Free will come to Washington to live as soon as her health permits. There are no children Annual HealthWeek Dates April 2 to 8 cheer; 2, good food; 3, fresh air.

Opposing Candidates for Mayor of St. Paul 195 ARTHUR E. NELSON. PETER H. HARRIS Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— Since a certain young lady got a seal coat, she does not speak to the "Duke" any more. The charm of pool, which once held Otis Skinner, has returned to him and he can be seen daily pushing the balls around the green. The reason the Arcadia newstand was closed is because Thomas Hicks and Lester Fowler disagreed over the division of the profits. Harry Thompson and Frank Welcome must be owls; their motto seems to be "We NEVER Sleep." The boys with whom he used to "hang-out," report that matrimony has made a new man of Mr. Williams. It will be a sad evening for Inky Strong when he is initiated into the Elks. It's funny how Duke Thomas got by the railroad officials when he first came to St. Paul cuddled up in a linen bag (white), and arriving in the Saintly City as linen. It is awful hard for a certain set of girls in the old town to give social parties; due to the fact that they have so much undesirable male company. Elmer Epps has been seen with some undesirable company lately and has been behaving in a manner unbecoming to the real gentlemen Mr. Epps is reputed to be. Mr. William Martin evidently has changed his residence to Brunswick, Ga., judging from his long absence. They wonder what connection a certain gentleman has with the Y. W. C. A. and "HOW." Mystery surrounds the activities of a certain Dr. J. A. B. FRAZEE OFFERS $350,000 FOR WILLS-DEMPSEY BOUT New York, Mar. 8—Harry Frazee, president of the Boston Red Sox and prominent Broadway theatrical producer, tonight offered Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, $350,000 to meet Harry Wills for the title. Frazee, who made the announcement before leaving to join the ball club in the south, said that Dempsey could have all of the purse offered and he would make separate arrangements with Wills. He said he would stage the bout in New York, Boston or Jersey City on September 2, two days before Labor Day. SPORTS BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT (Associated Negro Press) New York City, Mar. 16—It now begins to look like Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey will fight for the heavy weight championship on next labor day in the arena made famous by the Dempsey-Carpentier fight of last year. Will's sensational defeat of the famous Kid Norfolk has reopened the question of Dempsey fighting a Negro and the consensus of sporting and general opinion that the giant Negro conqueror of Fred Fulton and other fistic notables has shown the class and should be given a crack at the championship. Gov. Edwards has voiced his approval of the bout and nothing remains now but the signatures of the named fighters to make the fight a surety. SPEEDY BALL CLUB TO REPRESENT ST. PAUL Judging from reports; the Uptown Sanitary Baseball Club is to be an A-1 team again this season. Five first class ball players have reported to the manager of this team, with the intention of securing a regular berth on this speedy set of "diamond performers." The proprietor, Mr. O. Howell, intends to make this club, the best ball team in the state. ATTENTION BALL-PLAYERS The Uptown Sanitary Baseball Club will meet, Wednesday evening, March 22, at 339 Wabasha street, at 8:15 p. m. All men wishing to try out on the team, are invited to be present. STERLING A. C. HAS MEETING The Sterlings held an important business meeting Thursday evening at the home of Alonzo Few. The results of this meeting will be announced in next week's issue. The Minneapolis A. C. defeated the Sterlings in a fast practice game Thursday night, March 9, on the Minneapolis Central High School floor. The score was 21 to 20. The first game of the Inter-city tournament was played on the Sterlings' floor Thursday night, March 16. Music The Saintly City Harmony Four in a concert at Camphor M. E. Church, Wednesday, March 15, at 8:15 p. m. It is not often that a new musical organization is given the reception on its initial appearance that was accorded the Harmony Four by the audience at Camphor church last Wednesday night. In a program of just the right length (something that few of our artists and sponsoring clubs ever attain) the quartet introduced new and old numbers in a pleasing and on the whole, finished style. I say on the whole because a number of the ensemble numbers lacked finish and in one or two instances exhibited positive raggedness. However this may be accounted for partly by the fact that two of the entertainers were hoarse, and partly by the fact that his was he first public concert of the quartet. The rough edges are bound to wear off in practice. "The Soldiers' Chorus" and "Annie Laurie" two harmony numbers, were especially well rendered, the tone blend in the latter being almost perfect. Claude D. Jackson, first tenor, showed a tendency to flat occasionally in the quartet work, but his two solos in spite of his hoarseness, were up to his customary high standard. The baritone solo, "I'm A-Longing Dear for You," by John Hickman, Jr., was a notable feature of the program. Charles Miller appeared in a humorous monologue. With such a beginning it should not be long before St. Paul possesses a quartet of the highest order. R. W. HUSBAND LOSES ALIENATION SUIT (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Mar. 16—The $50,000 suit of Thomas Forest for the alienation of the affections of his wife, Mrs. Cornelia Derrick Lampton Forest was decided against him here this week. He sued his wife's sisters Misses Ethel and Delilah Lampton and Mrs. Gertrude Walker, daughters of the late Bishop Lampton Forest charged that his wife's relatives had turned against him. Mrs. Forest is one of the most accomplished pianist in Chicago. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Negro Colleges Speed Athletics Colored Institutions Organize to Increase Athletic Activities. (Associated Negro Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Mar. 16 The Colored colleges are showing an increasing activity in athletics. The Southeastern inter-collegiate Athletic Association, which Col. W. H. Walcott, Tuskegee Institute is President, went on record, at the annual meeting held here Feb. 21 and 22 as commending inter-collegiate athletics promoting clean athletics and friendly relations between Negro colleges and condemning the action of teams "quitting the field of play" on account of adverse decisions as unsporsmanlike and unfair to the spectators. The association is composed of Fisk, Atlanta, Clark and Moris Brown Universities; Morehouse, Knoxville, Florida A & M Colleges and Tuskegee Institute. A program, embodying the making of schedules; selection of officials; suggestion that coaches attend the annual meetings and a protest against forfeit of games, was formulated and sent to the colleges of the association for adoption or rejection by the governing body of the institution. Misjudging the gear shift lever for the emergency brake, or the foot accelerator for the clutch pedal may result in a serious accident. Phone Dale 8339 ELMER MORRIS —DRUGGIST— Dale & W.
