VOL. I, NO. XI. INDIANAPOLIS IS MYSTIFIED OVER TOMPKINS CASE "Who Murdered George Tompkins?" is Question asked by County Coroner. STRANGLED TO DEATH IS BELIEF OF SOME Examination Showed That Boy was Murdered Before Being Hung. Indianapolis, Ind., April 1—George Tompkins is the name of the young Colored man who was found hanging in the cold spring woods near here. It is a mystery to the police but they are satisfied that he was murdered and then taken to the spot and hanged in an effort to suggest that he had been lynched. He was identified by pay envelopes and a notebook bearing his name. His record here has been good and the circumstances surrounding the murder have made it one of the most puzzling cases the detectives have ever had to deal with. Detective Theories. When found, the young man's feet were crossed and resting on the ground. The half inch rope around his neck was tied to two of the limbs two feet above his head. The feet were about one and one half feet from the trunk of the tree and the body was resting against the tree. The detectives said the young man could not have fallen in such a position after killing himself. The handkerchief which bound his hands behind his back was not tied tightly and the detectives said if he had been alive when the bands were tied on him, he could have struggled out of them easily. Four or five of the small limbs on the side of the tree on which the body was found, had been cut off, apparently with a small penknife. Corbner's Opinion. Dr. Paul F. Robinson, coroner, who conducted an autopsy of the boy's body said the examination showed that death undoubtedly was due to strangulation. He is inclined to the belief that the boy was strangled to death before the body was tied to the tree. Bombers Are a Mystery, Says Chicago Tribune Rarity with Which Bombers are Caught, Protested by Chicago Tribune. Chicago, Ill., April 1—Much interest is being manifested in the editorial in the "Chicago Tribune" last week which called attention to the rarity with which bombers are caught The echo of the first bomb thrown against a Colored home in Chicago is reverberative just now throughout the second and third wards, and its ghost threatens to react to the serious disadvantage of the man who is pointed out as the central figure in the outrage. Just seven years ago Charles Davis, a federal employee, now deceased and his wife, a teacher in the city schools, purchased a house on Forrestville Ave., in the 45th block, a neighborhood in which no Colored people had lived. When the time came for them to take possession, they parked their belongings in two huge vans and drove up to the door of their new home. An angry mob greeted them with hoots and jeers and inside the house they found a cordon of police drawn up for the purpose of refusing them admission to their own property. The outgoing white tenant refused to turn the key over to Mr. and Mrs. Davis, but took it to the Woolf Real Estate Co., which had sold the property. One of the neighbors who had been active in the crowd surrounding the house took the key from the ring in the real estate office without permission. He then refused to give the key to Mr. and Mrs. Davis who have never been able to gain possession despite that for five years one of the most prominent attorneys of the race had their case in court without action. Since that the Davis' have been marked and have been bombed in THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Nairo Named by Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Bldg. Saint Paul Minnesota. First Negro Appointee to Naval Academy Named by New York Congressman. Washington, D. C., March 30—Belief that the "valor and Americanism of the Colored boys in the war should be recognized," was expressed today by Representative Ansoide, Republican of New York to have prompted him to appoint Emile Treville Holley, colored, of New York City, as a candidate to the United States Naval Academy. Secretary Denby of the Naval Department declined to discuss the appointment of Holley, who it is understood would be the first colored student at the Naval Academy since the days of reconstruction, if he succeeds at the examinations. Discussing the appointment, Ansoide said: "In the World War colored boys enlisted or were drafted, irrespective of race. There were 500,000 colored boys in the Army and Navy. As a matter of simple justice and recognition of the valor and the Americanism of the Colored boys, I have nominated one to the Academy. Annual Health Week from April 2 to 8 Newspapers, Women's Clubs and Other Agencies Asked to Co-operate. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., April 1—Invitation has been sent to all Negro agencies and organizations to unite in the observance of the eighth annual national Negro health week which will be held April 2 to 8. The movement is sponsored by the Tuskegee Negro Conference and the national Negro Business league. Newspapers and women's clubs are especially asked to co-operate. As was done last year, the United States Public Service has prepared the Health Week Bulletin. Copies of the same may be secured by application to Tuskegee Institute or to Dr. R. C. Brown, the United States Public Service, Washington, D. C. At a meeting of representatives of a number of national health organizations held at Tuskegee Institute, on January 20, an interesting program for Health Week for the entire country was approved. This program will be followed throughout the country. It is suggested that a committee be organized in each community to supervise the carrying out of a program in the interest of health week. their home at 4539 Vincinnes Ave. on three different occasions. The man whom the ghost is said to be troubling, Wallace G. Clark, has at various times been reported to be allied with sundry Hyde Park associations, and is now a candidate for county Treasurer. "The "Tribune" is 'right in its statement that none of the actual bombers have been apprehended, but nevertheless, the ghost continues to dance much it is said t ocandidate Clark's discomfort and the Colored voters are up in arms against him.

COLORED ORGANIZATIONS FIGHT SEGREGATION Law is Regarded as Open Infingement of Citizen's Constitutional Rights. Portland, Ore., March 29—Despite protests of colored organizations, the city council, at behest of Mayor Baker, adopted resolutions condemning the intermingling of colored and white persons at dances, grills and restaurants. Yesterday the commissioners in special session gave unanimous support to Mayor Baker's edict that intermingling of races must cease and as far as freedom of action for colored persons are concerned, Portland may be likened to Vicksburg, Mississippi. About two weeks ago, when the council was hearing evidence on the case against R. D. Stuart, whose resort was raided by the police, the fact was disclosed that colored men were dancing with white girls, and Mayor Baker announced that such intermingling must cease in the interest of common decency. Right of City Questioned. The right of the city to stop such intermingling was questioned by attorneys for Stuart, who maintained that there was no law on the statute books prohibiting a black man from dancing with a white woman. Mayor Baker announced if there was no such law he would instruct the city attorney to draft a law which will make it absolutely clear that there will be no institution operated in this city where whites and blacks may intermingle. Following announcement of this policy various colored organizations met and adopted resolutions that the passage of any legislation, such as was suggested by the mayor, would create race prejudice. Mayor Upheld by Council. Last Tuesday the city council was called together by Mayor Baker and after considering the resolutions and letters which had been forwarded to the mayor, it adopted resolutions supporting him. City Attorney Grant, who had investigated the situation, stated that no additional legislation was required to attain the object outlined by Mayor Baker. Negro Escapes by Leaving Through Glass Window On Friday, March 24, at 1 A. M., Patrolman William Meyers engaged a Negro burglar in a revolver battle. While making his rounds, Patrolman Meyers discovered a man in the act of burglarizing the store of Louis Weitzman, 485 Wabasha street. When discovered, the burglar made his escape by jumping through a plate glass window and running up Wabasha street. The patrolman fired a half dozen shots. The burglar fired at the officer as he turned up the alley. COLORED MAN FOUND GUILTY OF HOLD UP Horace Gilles, colored, companion of Frank Barrick, also colored, who, was shot and killed by Patrolman Rudolph Bisinz, March 7, in an attempted hold-up at Twelfth avenue south and Third street, Minneapolis, was found guilty of attempted robbery by a jury in Hennepin county district court before Judge E. F. Waite Wednesday. Gilles had testified that he met Barrick only a short time before the shooting and had no knowledge that a hold-up was contemplated by his companion. Gilles will be sentenced by Judge Waite Saturday. Messers Leon Lewis and "Buster Brown are now connected with the "Bulletin."

Minneapolis detectives Thursday, were still searching for Oscar Everett, Negro, to solve the mystery of an automobile accident in which one man was killed and two women injured early Sunday morning. The accident occurred at Erie street and Washington ave., northeast when the automobile hit a telephone pole. John Lawson, 45 years old, living at the Keystone Hotel, 1323 Washington avenue North, was killed almost instantly. Ruby Parker, 1020 Fifth street, So., and Hazel Schwartz, 1217 Washington avenue South, were injured. Both were taken to the General Hospital. Ruby Parker has been released, because her injuries were not serious, but the other woman's condition is considered very serious, and she is still in the General Hospital. Detectives are investigating the accident and they have learned that the car was stolen from the garage of J. F. Jordan, 116 Seventh St. South, and it belonged to Earl McGinnis of International Falls, Minn. It is supposed that the car was stolen by Everett, who worked at the garage. Thorough investigation, it is believed that Everett and his friends had been to a party on Fourteenth avenue So., leaving the party they went for a joy ride with Everett driving the car. Since then, Everett has disappeared and Minneapolis Police have been unable to find him. A good many of our jealous guardians of liberty seem awfully afraid the rest of us will get some of it.—Charleston Mail. What do you know about it! A Colored man is walking around the city of Minneapolis trying to secure signatures of his own people to petition D. W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" to be allowed to be shown in the city of Minneapolis. Can you beat it? Not so long ago when Thomas Van Lear was mayor, colored citizens vigorously fought the showing of the picture in Minneapolis. In their fight they were victorious and Mayor Van Lear stopped the picture from being shown. But this time the situation is different: a colored man intends to present the mayor with a petition signed by colored citizens sanctioning the picture, and the N. A. A. C. P. intends Borah, chairman of sub-committee in charge of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Plans to Put Bill on Floor of Senate Before Recess Adjournment. Washington, D. C., April 1—Senator Wm. E. Borah, Chairman of the sub-committee in charge of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, has let it be known that it is his opinion that the bill will be brought up before the present Congress, for final passage, prior to the recess adjournment. From all over the country, the Senator is receiving requests from individuals and organizations, that the committee conduct hearings as early as possible, and urging that the bill be placed on the calendar. Senator Borah has replied to all inquiries that at the first opportunity he will arrange for hearings. It is known that the Senator realizes the great national interest in this legislation, and that he will lead the fight for the passage of the bill, seems to be a foregone conclusion. VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS It is now press going time and we wonder if Mr. Thomas Lewis, messenger to Mayor Hodgson, is right or wrong when he says Frank Kellogg will continue to serve as "THE Senator from Minnesota." "I believe Senator Kellogg will win," said Mr. Lewis. "Why do you believe he will win," he was asked. "There is a hundred reason, why he should be re-elected. He is a capable man who has made a record in Washington as a senator among senators and the only man now fitted for the job." So we conclude that if Senator Kellogg does not win out, Mr. Lewis was wrong. TO SHOW "BIRTH IN THE MILL CITY to counter-petition and show Mayor Leach, they do not believe the picture should be shown. Attorney W. R. Morris announces that the better thinking people of Minneapolis will fight the showing of the picture. "It is a shame that such a situation should be allowed to come up. Those who sign such a petition, display their ignorance. "The picture means no good to us,' said another prominent citizen, yesterday. The identity of the person working on the petition and the signatures on the petition will be known when the petition is handed to the Mayor. The Elliot Film Corporation controls the film rights to the picture. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE, 5 CENTS MARCUS GARVEY FINED $8000 BY NEWYORK COURT Steamship Officials Sieze Cargo of Black Star Line; Garvey Fined. STEAMSHIP LINE FAILS TO UPHOLD CONTRACT Supreme Court Jury of New York Fines Negro Financier of Many Titles. Marcus A. Garvey, organizer of the Black Star Steamship line, and "high highness, the potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and provisional president general of Africa" was ordered by the supreme court today to pay the Pan-Union corporation $8,000.30 for the non-delivery of a cargo of liquor to Cuba. In 1920, Garvey signed a contract with the Pan-Union corporation to carry, to Cuba, a $3,000,000 liquor shipment on the steamer Yarmouth, flag ship of the Black Star line. The Yarmouth started with the consignment of liquor, but it was stopped and seized by Federal agents. The Federal agents discovered the liquor because the crew tapped the cargo and became hilarious. Garvey's ambitious promotion of big enterprises among the colored people recently got him into trouble with the Federal authorities on a charge of using the mails to defraud. On this charge, he is alleged to have obtained funds by mailing glittering prospectuses about the Black Star line. He is now out on bond awaiting trial. Chandler Owen To Speak Here Will Speak at St. James on Tuesday Night on "The New Emancipation." Chandler Owen, editor of the Messenger, who has been on a nationwide tour, will speak at the St. James A. M. E. church, corner Fuller and Jay streets, Tuesday evening, April 4th at eight o'clock sharp. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the St. James Auto Club. Hon. Thomas W. Churchill, former President of the New York City Board of Education, says of Mr. Owen "He is a man of very unusual mental endowments, of intellectual training, a thinker, writer and speaker of extraordinary power. Indeed, I know no man of his years better equipped with an accurate knowledge of facts on so many subjects." Mr. Owen's subject will be "The New Emancipation" one of his best lectures which has delighted audiences throughout Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Denver, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Oakland, San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane and other great cities. His message is regarded as the only new message which Negroes have received since emancipation. The admission will be free. St. Paul Man Offered Post at Norfolk F. D. McCracken Sought for Secretaryship of Chamber of Commerce. Frederick D. McCracken, local real estate man, has been offered the secretaryship of the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, of Norfolk, Va.

The Piney Woods Institute came into the limelight for a bit of publicity this week thru the commendable article by Alma and Paul Ellerbe, published in the April issue of McClures magazine. The fact that getting an education in the Sunny South, is not a simple task, was well pointed out and the earnest endeavors of those wishing to learn are greatly appreciated. The compulsory education of persons under sixteen years of age, which is fairly well enforced in the large cities of the North, does not include the southern Negro of the farming districts.

In addition, they have decided with whom the "play" and with whom the whites shall "we learn from pacific coast journals."

In other words, they have decided with whom the blacks shall "play" and with whom the whites shall "play". So we learn from pacific coast journals. Such legislation is entirely unfair and an infringement on the constitutional rights of American citizens. The spirit of such a law and the law itself is in defiance to principles for which black men sacrificed their very lives on the soil of France. It is not only to be condemned from a "black point of view" but by any fair minded people with any sense of justice. We concede that the intermingling under some circumstances does not promote a high respectable social equality but we do believe that it is a sacred personal privilege for man to choose his companions—those with whom he wishes to associate himself with. Together these companions are subject to doing the same things any company of people will do, regardless. They may promote business enterprises, social welfare, domestic welfare, carry on commerce, construct great buildings, promote racial harmony; then again, they may do disrespectable things, promote disorder, act in ways unbecoming good citizens, even break laws and be arrested. It depends upon what they stand for in life. But to make a law prohibiting blacks and whites from intermingling in any way, endangers the attainment of the exact principles of democracy, human rights and civil rights. It is a disgrace which democratic people should strive to do away with. It is a problem which national, state or city governments should not deal with. It is a problem for each man to meet and decide for himself. Portland will feel the results of this awkward step. CONTEMPORARIES SOCIAL EQUITY ALL SHAM much of the prejudice between the widows from the fact that the people of the realize that the Negro is an equal and keep him in subjection in order to make him a dangerous creature and should not roam at will for fear he may enter their daughters and marry them. Suspected by the ignorant class of the Souls of saying that the Negro is inferior, to life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness, it be borne in mind that individuals, in the air, and the beasts of the field, choosied companions and friends which make a habit of life, environment and affinity are the elements which enter and determine "social things are a matter for the home life." This is a matted for the fireside trail of the white man. This is a part to the secretness and sanctity of the self-respecting and intelligent Negro dar mingling with men and women whose aim or her to believe that God made them the Negro. We have lived in the South of these people's vaunted superiority.

If this is their standard of success, none of it. We do not mob, lynch, be be and segregate. We do not oppress, limit unspeakable attrociouses. We do not hinder. We stand upon the records of the white shafts of truth's light, and ask only away to run the eternal hills of human growth and human possibilities, unmoke their social equality as they term it.

We want to on climbing the ladder dirt of sin and shame, this fear of race exterwhere will unite and if the Southerner will morning. But before fact that all men are outted fact is the broth-of God. So much of the prejudice between the whites and blacks arises from the fact that the people of the South do not realize that the Negro is an equal and therefore must keep him in subjection in order to make the world believe he is a dangerous creature and should not be let loose to roam at will for fear he may enter their parlors and take their daughters and marry them. Such rot is actually believed by the ignorant class of the South to be the basis of saying that the Negro is inferior, and not entitled to life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. Let it be borne in mind that individuals are like birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, choose their mate and companions and friends which make up the social fabric, and constitute their social relationship. Taste, culture, environment and affinity are the important elements which enter and determine "social equality." These things are a matter for the home life to determine. This is a matted for the fireside training and the teachings of the white man. This is a part that must be done in the secretness and sanctity of their homes. The self-respecting and intelligent Negro desires no mixing or mingling with men and women whose prejudice carries him or her to believe that God made them superior to the Negro. We have lived in the South and have seen some of these people's vaunted superiority. We have seen and felt manifestations of their great culture and growth, and superior soul qualities and civilization in swarthy limp human bodies, writhing and dangling from the limb of trees, and women (black women), who were ready to become mothers, suspended by the neck from trees and trusts upon the very highways and thoroughfares, under the very dome of the county and state capitals, helpless, unoffensive, weak and many innocent. This done without court proceedings, law and order. This done in defiance of the statute, the constitution and their own standard of justice which they made, which they control, which they execute, and which herald to the world as sacred. If this is their standard of superiority we want none of it. We do not mob, lynch, burn, disfranchise and segregate. We do not oppress, humiliate and commit unspeakable attrocities. We do not hate, ridicule and despise. We stand upon the records of our souls in the white shafts of truth's light, and ask only for the right of way to run the eternal hills of human endeavor, human growth and human possibilities, unmolested and detest their social equality as they term it. We want to be let alone and not hindered from climbing the ladder of fame, or getting up out of the dirt of sin and shame. For if given a show we will dispell this fear of race extermination and men and women everywhere will unite and the old ideas born in the breast of the Southerner will fade away like the stars of the morning. But before that is done they must come to the fact that all men are created equal; that the only undisputed fact is the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. LYNCHING VS. MOB MURDERS Carolina authorities are becoming impatient in securing the extradition from Canada Matthew Bullock, who is wanted for the rape to riot. It is felt that North Carolina is being reflected upon by Canada's fear it will be lynched, if he be returned to the state. Governor Morrison is out in a lengthy state, the State's reputation, and declaring the-called "lynchings" are nothing more than criminals by the friends of the victim, frequently taking place before the officers of the criminals. Governor's argument appears to make no difference. Killing of personsomes by mobs before the officers arrive may members of blame for neglect of duty, provide effort to arrive in time, but it is difficult between the moral guilt of a mob that has accused is arrested and of one that has been arrested. Othermore there would appear to be little their injury to the law. If they take a person an officer they are usurpers, and are acting as dangerous to the established government and foreign invader would be.

It is felt that North Carolina's good name is being reflected upon by Canada's fear that the Negro will be lynched, if he be returned to the State for trial. Governor Morrison is out in a lengthy statement defending the State's reputation, and declaring that many of the so-called "lynchings" are nothing more than murders of criminals by the friends of the victim, the murders frequently faking place before the officers get possession of the criminals. The Governor's argument appears to make a distinction without a difference. Killing of persons charged with crimes by mobs before the officers arrive may relieve the officers of blame for neglect of duty, provided they make due effort to arrive in time, but it is difficult to distinguish between the moral guilt of a mob that kills before the accused is arrested and of one that kills after he has been arrested. Furthermore there would appear to be little difference in their injury to the law. If they take a prisoner away from an officer they are usurpers, and are for the time being as dangerous to the established government as an armed foreign invader would be. But when they deprive these officers of the right to bring to trial one accused of crime, their offense against the law is scarcely less grave, for in punishing the accused themselves, they are still usurpers of the functions of the constituted authorities. If Noth Carolina's difficulty with Canada over this extradition case should result in a better conception of the supremacy of law among those who are given to mob violence, the damage to the State's reputation will have been entirely offset.

The Community Service Department is in keeping with a plan on the part of the Leading Churches of our denomination to properly take care of the immigrants and to have a home-like place for their benefit, where the industrial-educational-social and religious fundamentals can be taught. The Young "folks" of the community are jubilant over the community idea, and have organized a "Community Club" to this end. The pastor has promised that they shall have every convenience for this purpose, and they are to make ready their plans for real Community Work. Mr. Tucker of the First Baptist Church, Little Rock, Ark., gave a wonderful address to the Literary Society Monday. NOTICE! After April 1, 1922, all church news and club notes for publication will be charged for at the rate of ten cents per line. A line averages about six words of eight point matter. Special rates to organizations using more than an average number of lines. Camphor M. E. Church The Camphor Memorial chorus sang to a very large audience at Wesley M. E. church, Minneapolis, last Sunday evening. "Exposition of the First Psalm" was the subject of Rev. Simmon's sermon that was preached to a large attendance last Sunday morning. Grace C. M. E. Mission The services at the church last Sunday were well attended. The text of the morning sermon was "Wings of a Dove." It was a well delivered sermon and full of hope. The sermon for April 2 will be especially prepared for the Welfare League. The subject of the sermon will be "Heaven, Earth and Hell" or "After your Soul." The women of the church will meet after service to organize a Women's Department of the Welfare League. St. Philips Episcopal Church The St. Philips Sunday school met at the home of Mrs. M. F. Mason, March 24. The next meeting of the club will be with Mrs. Monjoy Jones, at the residence of Mrs. Virgle Hedge, 878 St. Anthony avenue. At the last meeting of the club, they decided to change the name from 'St. Philips Sunday School club' to "St. Philips Young Women's club." Pilgrim Baptist Church Rev. H. E. Parsons of Bethesda Baptist church in Minneapolis preached last Sunday. The choir is preparing a very elaborate cantata for their Easter rendition. They are being assisted by Mrs. Laquina Williams of Winnipeg, Canada. St. James A. M. E. Church At fast Sunday services the collection for the day was close to $200.00. This is very noteworthy, considering the fact that it was not a rally day and this was only one day's collection. AGED WOMAN NEEDS CHARITABLE HELP If you have anything to give an old colored lady who is really unable to take care of herself, financially, and who is worthy of some assistance, Mrs. Hattie Burrell, 948 Courtland St., should get it. She needs the comforting arm of charity. Mrs. Burrell is an ex-salve and has been a resident of St. Paul for 40 years. She owns the house in which she lives having spent the best days of her life struggling to pay for it. For the past few years, white neighbors have completely supported her. So, it is only fair for some of our welfare workers to investigate her case. Mrs. Plummer, daughter and mother, have moved to Saint Paul and will make their home with Mrs. Geo. Gooden, 514 Fuller avenue. Eddie Carlisle, 622½ Lyndale avenue north, who has been a patient at the General Hospital for several weeks, is improving very rapidly.

Jackson, on the subject, "Where is your Train Traveling to?" The idea conveyed was that too many of us are on trains whose destiny we know not and do not take the trouble to ascertain its destination. The several roads of general life may lead to most any destination as far as we are concerned but we take no notice of those small details when we get aboard, and ride along unconcerned. "A man is a fool to be jealous of a woman," said Rev. Jackson, "because one women cannot impede the progress of the race but can greatly impede his progress thru his own jealousy." Jealousy is the greatest drawback our race ever had according to the speaker, and will continue to be until the people, wake up to the faults of their jealousy, which has been always a feeling against the prosperous ones. The sign which caused Rev. Jackson to speak this way read as follows: "White Help Wanted," which caused him to think "Why are there no signs, 'Colored help wanted'?" The great lynching problem now before Congress is also a great labor problem, because the young Negro of the South is the one best fitted for labor, but he is being driven out of the South by this evil. As a result the southern employer must look out for means to keep his labor where he needs it; thus he has seen fit to endorse the Dyer Bill. According to the speaker it is high time that our people see the need of cooperation in business ventures and combine their moneys and back their enterprises to the limit. A certain instance of note was an occasion when a prominent business man called a doctor to his bedside, and after giving the patient a thorough examination, the doctor said, "Well your case is hopeless, you can never get well by the time you wish to make the trip." The doctor was immediately discharged because the patient said: "I want to know how to get well and not what I can't do. I must be able to be at that meeting and I will be there if I have to be carried there." He consulted another doctor and at the specified time was at the meeting. This example was used by the speaker to demonstrate the expression that "It is time to listen to someone who can tell us how to accomplish the desired ends and not listen to those who say, 'It can't be done.'" The program was concluded by a few remarks by K. D. Miller on the subject, "As a man thinketh so is he." and a pleasing reading from Dunbar entitled, "Black Sampson of Brandy-wine." The Matrons Embroidery club will meet Friday afternoon, April 7, with Mrs. George Barnett, 3421 Oakland avenue.

Patronize our Advertisers THE BULLETIN SPIRIT By C. A. WILLIAMS I pick up The Northwestern Bul- letin. Hub! ‘Nother cullod paper. Ho hum! You see I am frankly sceptical. Somewhere in my pockets, paid for but unredeemed promises to send me @ weekly paper fifty two times, lies and LIES. I recall facts of them all,—fast talking solicitors,—“We cullod folks must stand together, we wave the fig of Etheopia—Hurrah!” T am out three or four dollars. Dern it! So I pick up The Northwestern Bulletin with something like resent- ment, a sead or two of scorn, and a couples of sniffs of pity, These papers are all the same. “Twenty advertise- ments and, ‘Miss Epps has got rheu- matis.’” But what I see sends me rushing oyer to give the promoters of this unbelievable thing the “once over.” SPORTS RETURN BATTLE WANTED BEARCAT VS.

With the coming of Spring and Sum- mer Tet everyone stage a comeback, it can be done because it has been done. There are some old athletes in the Twin Cities who have grown listless and discouraged because of the long period of inactivity, but now Somehow or other, I expect to find Owlish looking, grey headed men pouring over thick books of informa- tion—quite foggy with brain stuff, it you know what I mean. As I approach the door, carefully adjusting my dignity, a little Ford sort of individual, with a Motor cy- clish mustasche, brushes by me and hurls Himself unceremoniously into the office. I enter and stand around ‘@ bit wondering at number of office boys when suddenly little Ford sez: “Now, I'll take care of sour needs. Just like that.” ‘The words, “Who the devil are you?” struggle upward when he sticks out his flipper and sez some- more: “I’m Mr. Chestnut.” Then I met Mr. Johnson, another little Fora, I am flabbergasted and sore. Also I feel cheated. How dare they be 80 little, so youthful, so confoundedly efficient and business like? How dare they—but this is a new era. Verily, the old order changeth, I pay my subscription and leave, thinking Bard on the happy privi- lege of beIng a Colored man. things must come back to life, every body is getting that old spirit of com: petition. If you feel your life too far spent to take up vigorous exercises, try golf, the newly adopted Scotch sport which is suitable for young and old. There is that lively game of tennis for the young and vigorous, who wish to show their individual supremacy, both mentally and physically. Then comes the old national game of base- ball. This year, of all years, holds the best prospects for a return of the old Colored championship teams of years ago, COSMOPOLITAN GROCERY * CHANGES HANDS ‘The Cosmopolitan Grocery Store, corner Kent and St. Anthony Ave., formerly conducted by R.
