VOL.1, NO.26 Dyer Bill Passes Judiciary Committee Practically As a G. O. P. Party Vote. PARTY PRESSURE CAUSES PASSAGE BY COMMITTEE Bill Is Now Ready For a Place on the Senate Calendar and Will Cause Sharp Debates. (Staff Correspondent for the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 14—"LYNCH LAW MUST GO." The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been favorably reported for passage by the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate, on practically a party vote. All of the Republicans, except Senator Borah, Idaho, voted for the bill; all of the Democrats voted against it. Two members of the committee were not present and did not vote. The favorable action of the committee is regarded as one of the great victories for human justice, and marks an unqualified determination of the Republican party to back up the tenets of the platform adopted in Chicago, 1920, with action. Every Colored newspaper throughout the country, and a large number of dallies urged upon the Senate the necessity of passing the bill. Twelve lynchings and burnings at the stake during the month of May added to the intensity of the situation, and further urged the importance of Senatorial action. PARTY PRESSURE USED. It is an open secret that the strongest party pressure has been used upon the proposed legislation to stamp out lynching in America. There is not a Republican Senator in the Capitol who has not been and is acquainted with all of the details surrounding the importance of passing the bill. Delegations of bishops, college students, and individuals in various walks of life have visited President Harding at the White House, requesting the Chief Executive to encourage in every way possible favorable action on the bill. To all such visitors the President is known to have expressed deep interest in the measure, and to have declared that he will not hesitate one minute to sign the bill as soon as it passes the United States Senate. Parts of sections four and five, as adopted by the House of Representatives in January with a vote of practically two to one, have been the "bone of contention" on the grounds of "constitutionality." However, as one well-known person stated: "There is no measure that could be proposed that the Democrats from the South would regard as constitutional. They are against the kind of justice the bill advocates on 'principle.'" It is maintained by those who are following the legal phases of the measure, that the amendments added by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate do not take the "teeth" out of the bill, but reduce the arguments against constitutionality, and render the final passage more certain. READY FOR CALENDAR. The Anti-Lynchship bill is now ready for a place on the Senate Calendar, and is being regarded with the same degree of importance as the other big measures before the Senate. There is every reason to believe that present Senate will finally dispose of the bill. The same machinery put into action to have the Judiciary Committee act favorably, has been put into action to have the bill now placed on the calendar. Once before the Senate, some of the sharpest debate heard in that body for years is expected. The Republicans are seemingly determined that the usual "scare head" oratory of southern Democrats will not be permitted to bethe issue. "LYNCH LAW MUST GO." That is the word being passed along by all right-thinking Americans. SOUTHERNERS OPPOSE DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT Washington. July 14.—Southern senators almost unanimously vigorously oppose the proposed Dempsey-Wills world's championship heavyweight prize fight. Headed by Senator Sheppard, Texas, the Southern delegation pointed out that the proposed bout, for which Dempsey is understood to demand $500,000 as his share, would unquestionably cause serious racial outbreaks and clashes. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN University of Chicago Professor Defends Lincoln on Charges Made Against Him of Causing Civil War William E. Dodd, in Public Address in Chicago, Contends That Lincoln Tried to Uphold America's Faith During the Period of National Backsliding. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 14.—In a public address delivered in Leon Mandell assembly hall of the University of Chicago, Professor William E. Dodd of the history department, talked on Lincoln and the recently expressed southern charges that the Emancipator was responsible for the Civil War. other in this contention is right. Lincoln is one of the great democrats of American history in spite of the war between north and south, in spite of all the mistakes that he and his fellows of both sides made in the crisis LINCOLN BIG PROBLEM. "Lincoln sought at a time of peculiar national backsliding to bring the "Some southerners," Prof. Dodd said, "particularly the Daughters of the Confederacy, insist today as the leaders of the south did sixty years ago, that Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the Civil War and all its horrors. There are some northerners, particularly the reactionary party groups, who insist that Lincoln was wholly without responsibility for the catastrophe of 1861-65. "But neither the one side nor the Mob Law Claims 30 Within 6 Months Thirty Persons Lynched During First Six Months of 1922—Texas Leads With 12. Records compiled by Tuskegee Institute under the direction of Monroe N. Work, in the Departments of Record and Research, set out that there were thirty lynchings during the first six months of Nineteen Twenty-two. This is six less than the number, 36, for the first six months of 1921, and 18 more than the number, 12, for the first six months of 1920. Of the 30 persons put to death, 19 or 63% were in two states, Mississippi (7), and Texas (12). Of those lynched, two were whites and 28 were dark. Eleven of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape and nineteen were charged with other offenses. Five of those put to death were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and then their bodies were burned. Four of those lynched in the year 1921, were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and then their bodies were burned. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 2; Florida, 1; Georgia, 4; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 7; South Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 1; and Texas, 12. Church Organizes Community Center Cafe is Opened at Memorial Baptist Church—Library to be Opened Soon. Memorial Baptist Church, corner Rice and Fuller streets of which Rev. Joseph W. Harris is pastor, took its first step in carrying out a program to do social service and community work when a cafe in the basement of the church was opened last Sunday. A library and assembly room will be opened soon. The cafe which is in the basement of the church, will be modern in every respect when completed. The walls and ceiling have been very appropriately decorated and a new hardwood floor has been laid. All the fixtures in the place which includes a soda fountain, are new and up-to-date. A marble drinking fountain stands in the center of the unique little eat shop. The cafe is open to the public daily from 3 to 9 p. m. Community Center. Besides a cafe, a library and assembly hall in the rear of the church is now being made ready for use. An employment bureau, domestic science Dept., and a club room for boys are other features of social service work offered by the church. "It is our purpose," said Rev. Harris, "to make Memorial Baptist Church 'The Church with a community interest' and we are at work." The St. Paul Association recently indorsed the solicitation of subscription for $5000 for the remodeling of the church and establishment of a social service department. Rev. Harris reports that nearly $1000 has already been subscribed to. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1922. other in this contention is right. Lincoln is one of the great democrats of American history in spite of the war between north and south, in spite of all the mistakes that he and his fellows of both sides made in the crisis. LINCOLN BIG PROBLEM. "Lincoln sought at a time of peculiar national backsliding to bring the country back to its first great faith, the faith that all men are created free and equal—a great dogma that is not quite the fact. Because men of property in 1860 would not submit their rights of property to the will of simple majorities there arose a crisis. "The southerners had abandoned Jefferson. They said everywhere in loud that the Declaration of Independence was a fraud, a fallacy. They set up the contrary ideal that inequality is the rule of life; they insisted that the owners of property should govern everywhere. That meant that the owners of slaves should govern. "Now there may be a fallacy in the assertion of the ideal of equality. But that is the fundamental fact in the Declaration of Independence. The existence of the American nation is due to the belief in that ideal. "If the United States has influenced mankind in anything it has not done so by its work of art, by its inventions, or by its statecraft, important as these have been; it has influenced mankind everywhere because of its ideal of human equality; the struggle for the elevation of the heavy laden workers of the world. "Now the south departed from the ideal. Its thought became realistic. Its leaders were political scientists. Its philosophers sought to prove that every man is either inferior to or superior to some one else. They stumbled about in the great wilderness of science searching for the law of the survival of the fittest and the subordination of the unfit, the Negro, to everlasting servitude. And science supported their claim. History told them they were right. Religion preached their doctrine. Literature was full of evidence of the gospel of inequality. The evidence was overwhelming." Sculptress Believes Negro Women More Beautiful Than White (Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., July 14.—Dr. Frank Crane has recently called attention to the work of Miss May Craemer, the noted sculptress and her comment on why she chose a Negro female figure for her heroic statue symbolizing the New World. Dr. Crane reports Miss Craemer as saying: "I believe that the most beautiful women in the world, spiritually and physically, are to be found among the colored women in the southern states of America. That is why I chose the figure of a negress to symbolize the new world. "It was the deep mystic beauty in the eyes of the southern 'mammies' that first attracted me in Virginia. There is more spirituality shining out of the eyes of these colored women than can be found in any race of white women on the earth. "The marvel to me is how the beauty of the negress has for centuries escaped artists and sculptors. She is more beautiful in face and form than the white woman." BRING BACK MAN CHARGED WITH DESERTING FAMILY Detective James Mitchell, Central station, returned last Saturday night from Denver, Colo., with Elmer Spires who was brought back to St. Paul to face a charge of deserting his wife and four children. When first arrested in Denver, Spires refused to be returned to St. Paul. Extradition papers, however, were obtained. He is now at the county jail. Shreveport, La., July 14.—Joe Pemberton, colored, was taken from the Bossier parish jail at Benton by a mob and hanged to a tree in Black Bayou swamp, two miles from Benton. Pemberton had been arrested and jailed Tuesday night following the shooting of two colored women. "Lynch Law Must Go!" Colored Aviatrix Is Granted Pilot's License in Berlin Berlin, July 12—Bessie Coleman, a Chicago colored girl, has received the first pilot's license granted to an American woman in Germany, and it is said she is the first of her race to become a full licensed flyer. She holds a brevet license in France and has flown extensively in Holland. She started back to Chicago yesterday. "I like flying," she said. "and I am going into the business. I shall start a pilot's school in Chicago." Miss Coleman refused an offer from Moscow to teach flying to women. Moton Risks Life To Save Women Moton Risks Life To Save Women Noted Educator Dashes Through New York Traffic—Snatches Woman From Death. New York, July 14.—Threading the traffic during Fifth avenue's most crowded hour, a woman was confused and stopped directly in the path of swiftly moving automobiles. Crowds on the sidewalks looked on with horror or turned away from what appeared to be an inevitable fatality, but one man dashed through the vehicles thronging the street, seized the woman by the arm and dragged her back to safety. Dazed by her sudden and unexpected delivery from death or serious injury she failed to thank her rescuer. A traffic man was more alert. He stopped the man after he had taken a dozen steps and asked his name. The stranger, who was a negro, turned. "Are you going to arrest me?" he asked. "No," said the officer. "That was a brave act and I want to report it." "Just say that a black man did it," and turned away. He was Dr. Robert Russa Moton, successor of Booker T. Washington as head of the Tuskegee Institute, major in the American army during the war and one of the foremost figures of his race in America. Singer Wins Praise of Musical Reviewer Mme. Cole-Talbert's Musical Concert Praised Commendably by Detroit News Critic. (Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., July 14.—Mme. Cole-Talbert, one of the chief artists to record for the Black Swan Records, recently scored such a big hit before a large white audience in Detroit that Rex G. White of the Detroit News made favorable reference to this wonderful singer in following fashion: "Florence Cole-Talbert, declared by many to have a voice rivaling Galli-Curci, was the star of the evening. This brilliant singer found difficulty in getting away from her audience although she obliged with four numbers. Her voice is a soprano of great range and sweetness, her vocal flexibility is marked and gives ease and clarity to her utterance. She made a tremendous hit with her audience." That the music loving public appreciates high class music as well as "blues" is being evidenced by the big demand made since June for "The Bell Song" and "The Kiss," which numbers Mme. Talbert recorded for the Pace Phonograph Corporation. Mrs. Vivian Crawford Yancey, popular young lady in Twin City social circles, has been added to the staff of the Northwestern Bulletin as stenographer in the Minneapolis office. Mrs. Yancey will also do public stenographic work. Colored Beauties Enter Nationwide Beauty Contest New York City, July 14.—A national beauty contest is being conducted by the Hotel Tattler, New York's exclusive society magazine. The open fairness by which the contest is being put on has attracted scores of beautiful colored girls to enter the race for national beauty honors.

Broadway Jubilant Over Colored Show Broadway Jubilant Over Colored Show "Strut Miss Lizzie" Plays to Big House on Broadway Opposite "Zegfield Follies." (Associated Negro Press) New York, July 14.—"Strut Miss Lizzie," the new musical review by Creamer and Layton, is playing to capacity at the Times Square Theatre, which is opposite the theatre where the "Zegfield Follies" holds forth. In its outdoor publicity, the Creamer and Layton production states that it "Glorifies the Creole Beauty." The Follies comes back with the assertion that it "Glorifies the American White Girl." There have been an unusual number of colored productions on Broadway during the past year, topped by "Shuffle Along," which has had nearly 500 performances. One of the Follies' songs is entitled, "Broadway's Getting Darker Every Day." Literary Editor of Liberator Magazine Gives Up Position New York, July 14.—Claude Mackey, who recently created note by being selected to serve on the editorial staff of The Liberator, a white socialist magazine, preemptorily resigned last week. Mr. Mackey was the center of attraction in New York a few weeks ago when a dance was halted because Mr. Mackey was dancing with Crystal Eastman, a highly cultured young lady of the Caucasian race. He is the author of Harlem Shadows and is recognized as a poet of no mean ability. CORINTHIAN TEMPLE TO GIVE ALL-DAY EXCURSION The Corinthian Temple S. M. T. No. 132 will give their second annual all-day boat excursion Tuesday, July 18 on the Steamboat Red Wing and Barge Manitou.

PRICE, 5 CENTS DOUGLASSNATIONAL BANKHOLDSFORMAL OPENING IN CHICAGO First and Only All-Negro National Bank Is Granted Charter and Opens in Chicago. NEGRO FIRMS AND LODGES USE IT AS A DEPOSITORY Bank Is Capitalized at $200,000 and Is Member of Federal Reserve System. Chicago, July 14.—The first and only national bank in the United States whose officers and stockholders are Negroes, opened at 3201 S. State street. It has been named the Douglass National Bank. Its present quarters are temporary, pending construction of a four-story building at Thirty-sixth and State streets. The institution, although the charter was granted only Tuesday, has become national in character. Maj. Robert R. Jackson, alderman of the Second ward and second vice-president of the bank, said over a score of Negro lodges and organizations throughout the country have made it their depository. Anthony Overton, head of the Overton Hygienic Company is president; S. A. T. Watkins, supreme attorney, Knights of Pythias, chairman of the board, and Dr. E. S. Miller, the Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor St. Mark's M. E. church, and George Rambo, directors. The bank is capitalized at $200,000 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Graduates Praised By Sterling Club F. D. McCracken Speakes Highly of Graduates in Testimonials by Sterling Club. It is not often that one witnesses such a pleasing program as was presented to the public on last Sunday evening at St. James A. M. E. church by the Sterling Club as testimonials to the Colored graduates of the St. Paul high schools and Twin City colleges. The program was fittingly arranged and from the large attendance, and appreciation that was manifested, it can be clearly seen the high regard in which the graduate is held by the people of the Twin Cities Mr. Fred D. McCracken, the chief speaker of the evening, spoke in high tribute of the Colored graduates and of the efficiency that is put into their work, as much so as is exercised by anyone in any other race of people. In part, Mr. McCracken said, "We have men who are just as capable as any race in any race. We have professional men, business men, and writers who can hold their own in the ranks with anyone else." Mr. McCracken showed where it was not necessary, in order to receive inspiration for the one ideal "Success," to study the biography of a white man who had succeeded in the vocation that you wish to follow, but choose for your life's aim the success accomplished by a black man who has had to struggle against the greatest of odds, "prejudice," and yet make his work noticeable. Among other numbers on the program was a talk by Miss Anna Arnold, graduate of Hamline University. Miss Arnold spoke on the Past, Present, and Future. She made it clearly comprehensible to her audience that in order to attain any ideal, it was necessary to "keep on Going." Miss Lucelia Williams, who recently graduated from Central High School in Duluth, was present at the meeting and made a one-minute talk. Mr. J. E. Johnson made a short talk to the graduates. Messrs. Robert and Clinton Minor, and sister Lela May, were present at the meeting. Eleven graduates in all were presented to the public by Mr. O. C. Hall who made a special tribute to each one. Mr. Clarence Wigington was master of ceremonies and he filled this position with a marked degree of efficiency. Judging every detail of the program by itself, it can be said that the Sterling Club demonstrated that they are an asset to the community.

THE DYER BILL The news that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has been reported favorably by the Senate Judiciary Committee is indeed, good tidings for the ears. It is an exceptionally good message to fifteen million black Americans who are eager to see the Federal government step in and take a hand in an effort to put an end to America's blackest evil—lynching. Mob rule must be stopped or the growing danger of mob supremacy instead of the law threatens to become even more acute than it is at this time. Thirty lynchings within a period of six months, an ever growing tendency of the mob to take full sway, to commit murder, crime and violence is the undeniable state of affairs existing in these United States of ours. Deplorable, indeed. Now then, we who are fighting for the passage of the Dyer Bill must stick together. We owe it to ourselves to make the bill as important in the Senate as the Tariff Bill or any other legislation holding the stage of the American public. Negroes in every state should get behind their Senators and urge them to support the Dyer Bill. Here in Minnesota let Senator Frank B. Kellogg understand that you will deny him your support unless some favorable action on the bill is forthcoming from him before the fall election. Let Senator Knute Nelson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee and one of the eight Republicans to cast his vote in favor of reporting the bill, know that thus far we appreciate his action on the bill and that we shall expect him to continue to give the bill his unanimous support. Write them Today and tell them that you want the Dyer Bill H. R. 13 placed on the Senate calendar for debate and final action at once. Tell them LYNCH LAW MUST GO AT ONCE.

Loud talking and boisterous actions are not in place in public, yet some Negroes are continually making themselves conspicuous by their improper conduct. If they could but see themselves as others see them possibly they would have learned a lesson in good behavior. But as a rule those who are at fault cannot or will not see themselves in their true colors. Conduct in public is something some of us must have more regard for.

President Harding and his supporters did not seem to have any time to deal with the Negro question but from the returns from Indiana, Iowa and Pennsylvania, it seems as though the Negro question seems to have found time to deal with them.

And that is no apology for praising one of the many finalities in Robert Russa Moton, for he has no nuisance whatever to the Devil. But he is a good example of the man whose superfine qualities are like he sometimes discredited simply because somebody disagrees with him about something else. All men willain any position above the ordinary, suffer this disadvantage in some degree. We like to talk about them when we can say five things about them. We hate to talk about them when we can't. We could talk much about Dr. Moton, You know him well and esteem his fine qualities. Of the best of these is what we might call his GROUP-CONSCIOUSNESS. He feels that he is one of the people whom he calls "people." He is desirous that whatever good is in him may be placed on the credit of his people's account. This is illustrated by his recent experience in the streets of New York City. He reached out his strong black arm and saved a white woman from the danger, but according to the New York World, when he being black man was asked for his name, by an old deviant policeman, who wanted to report the deed with his credit, the colored hero replied merely, without his name; "Just say a Black man did it." And the capitals are ours, not the World's, for the just have been a capital feeling in the heart of Moton modest as he is, he could not overlook the interesting moments of this situation. Yes, "a black man did it." If it had been a crime would not have been necessary to request them to say that it was a "black man." We have met a number of colored people who seem to think it desirable to be "the only Negro"—the "first and probably the last" colored person to do so-and-so the "exception"—or the "although-he-is-colored," etc. But R. R. Moton is "just a black man" and we live him for it. And we recommend that we substitute for the only Negro" "just a black man." And Moton right, for that act of rescue is just-like-a-black-man that is the way black men act. The opposite action is the "exception." We only wish that black women were usually as likely to meet help, courtesy and protection from the average white man. We should praise a fine quality in the Devil. And that is no apology for praising one of the many fine qualities in Robert Russia Moton, for he has no resemblance whatever to the Devil. But he is a good example of the man whose superfine qualities are likely to be sometimes discredited simply because somebody disagrees with him about something else.

One of the best of these is what we might call his GROUP CO-CONSCIOUSNESS. He feels that he is one of the people whom he calls "my people." He is desirous that whatever good is in him may be placed on the credit side of his people's account. This is illustrated by his recent experience in the streets of New York City. He reached out his strong black arm and saved a white woman from the danger of being run over by a taxicab. That is nothing strange for a black arm to do. Black arms always come to the rescue, regardless of the color of the party needing help. But according to the New York World, when this rescuing black man was asked for his name, by an observant policeman, who wanted to report the deed with due credit, the colored hero replied merely, without giving his name: "Just say a Black man did it." And the capitals are ours, not the World's, for there must have been a capital feeling in the heart of Moton. Modest as he is, he could not overlook the interesting elements of this situation.

We only wish that black women were equally as likely to meet help, courtesy and protection from the average white man. OUR SOUTHERN RACE PROBLEM. Our ever-present race problem in the South and its requests uninumerable: "Does not the ignorant negro with his low living standard constitute the same part of handicap in the South that a like proportion of Chinese or Japanese would constitute in California?" Do not the "cheap labor" of the negro, like that of the minman, force down prices of all labor in the South and consequently depress prices of all the products of southern labor, including all our farm crops? While this cheap labor competition of the negro bestows wages, profits, and income for all Southerners who work with their hands, does it help the other classes? Do not merchants have smaller trade; bank smaller deposits; professional men smaller incomes, even because of the lessened incomes of the great mass of our population? We have said, "Educate a negro and you spoil a land," but would not the South be helped if we shop "poil" half a million negro hoe hands, engage them like places in "public works" and thus lessen the overproduction of negro wages in cottons. If we can raise the negro's living standard, if we can make him walk better homes and better living conditions, will not the white man's own higher standards from the dangers of cheap labor competition. We have taken interest in compulsory education for negro children, and not so long as negro children are kept out of school as the fields does not their competition lower cottages and so help force white school children also into the schoolhouse and into the fields? But while favoring all agencies for improving and elevating the negro, must we not insist that the interest of both races will be promoted by encouraging members of each race to live in communities to themselves and thereby give concentrated support to their own school churches and social life? We believe now, as we see most month, that the most important "news" is found in the almost world-wide popular discussion of issues such as these. And it is the duty of every reader to help work for their solution.—Progressive Farmer. Our ever-present race problem in the South also begets questions innumerable: "Does not the ignorant negro with his low living standard constitute the same sort of handicap in the South that a like proportion of Chinese or Japanese would constitute in California?" Does not the "cheap labor" of the negro, like that of the Chinaman, force down prices of all labor in the South—and consequently depress prices of all the products of Southern labor, including all our farm crops? And while this cheap labor competition of the negro beats down wages, profits, and income for all Southerners who work with their hands, does it help the other classes of society? Do not merchants have smaller trade; banks, smaller deposits; professional men smaller incomes, etc., all because of the lessened incomes of the great masses of our population? We have said, "Educate a negro and you spoil a hot hand," but would not the South be helped if we should "spoil" half a million negro hoe hands, engage them to take places in "public works" and thus lessen the overproduction of negro wages in cottons. If we can raise the negro's living standard, if we can make him want better homes and better living conditions, will not that save the white man's own higher standards from the dangers of cheap labor competition. We have taken no interest in compulsory education for negro children, and yet so long as negro children are kept out of school and in the fields does not their competition lower cotton prices and so help force white school children also out of the schoolhouse and into the fields? But while favoring all agencies for improving and elevating the negro, must we not insist that the interests of both races will be promoted by encouraging members of each race to live in communities to themselves and thereby give concentrated support to their own schools, churches and social life?

"WOMAN'S HALL OF FAME" By WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) South American women asked North American women to present them with the names of twelve most eminent and useful women in the United States. The white women have accordingly proceeded to collect ballots from all over the country in a selective effort to arrive at these twelve names. It happens to be that they are gathering only the names of white people, through the balloting of white people. This is logical. The names should be gathered through the balloting of all the people, or else if we must do things "separately," as is the custom in the United States, then the colored people should be asked to ballot for at least two or three of the most eminent and useful colored women whose names should be passed along in this group of twelve women. There are colored women whom we might easily name who should be counted in any list of the useful and eminent that number as many as twelve.

There are colored women whom we might easily n who should be counted in any list of the useful eminent that number as many as twelve. Let the colored members of the National Organization of Colored Women proceed to find out from the National Women's Board, just how this balloting is proceeding and how we may give the right answer to South America by including the women of the colored population. There is always a tendency in the United States to count the colored population as non-existent whenever any honorable mention is to be made. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Lincoln "U" Loses LargeAppropriation By Technicality in Bill, School Will Lose $500,000 Given for its Maintenance. St. Louis, Mo., July 14.—By a recent ruling of the Supreme Court of this state, Lincoln University will not be able to avail itself of a $500,000 appropriation, because of the tricky working of the bill originating in the state senate and introduced by Senator Blodgett of this city. The Blodgett bill was passed by both houses in place of a bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Walthall Moore, who fought hard for legislation making Lincoln Institute a university and appropriating money for its maintenance. The Blodgett bill provided that the money should be paid out of "any unappropriated portions of the public school fund." The Supreme Court declared this illegal because the Constitution does not give the Legislature authority to appropriate money out of the Public School fund, this fund being open only to the public schools of the state and the University of Missouri. It is now possible that the Constitutional Convention now in session will correct this condition. Tuskegee Secretary Visits in Chicago Albion L. Holsey Visits Chicago While on Tour in Interest of Business League. (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 14.—Albion L. Holsey, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, paid a flying visit to Chicago this week. Mr. Holsey, who is also acting secretary of the National Negro Business League, was completing a tour in the interest of the Norfolk meeting of that body which opens August 16th. "Business is uppermost in the minds of the people the country over, and from all indications this will be the best meeting in the history of the League," said Mr. Holsey. While here he inspected a number of the business houses and expressed himself as being amazed at the wonderful progress which Chicago has made in the development of business and suggested that the migration from the South which had brought thousands of people who were accustomed to dealing with colored merchants was to some extent responsible for the unusual activity in business. Chicago is planning to send a delegation to the League headed by local president Frank L. Gillespie. Mr. Holsey has visited Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, New York, Washington, D. C., Virginia, and North Carolina on his tour. Newark, N. J., July 14.—Charles Mason, dapper colored man, arrested for speeding, turned out to be a union hodcarrier hastening to take up his labors. He said he always endeavored to be punctual. Scottdale, Pa., July 14.—There will be no more gum chewing in the Colored Baptist Churches of Pennsylvania, delegates in convention here have decided. One delegate from Allegheny County said "the sight of wagging jaws was most disconcerting to the preacher while he was delivering his sermon." All the churches are to issue immediate notice to their congregations forbidding the practice. Atlanta, Ga., July —Convicted on a charge of murder, 18-year-old Mary Harper was sentenced Wednesday to life imprisonment. The girl was charged with having shot and killed Charles Lindsey following a quarrel. Jealousy was said to have been the motive for the killing. Stanton, Tenn., July 14—Robert Terry, a Negro, shot and probably fatally wounded Charles Mize, a white farmer, one night last week. The reports of the occurrence are somewhat vague, but the general opinion is that Mize and his son were endeavoring to prevent Terry from leaving the farm where he had been indentured for a debt Mize claimed the Negro owed him. The Negro had not been captured up to Saturday of this week. The whites say he is a bad character. DR. L. R. HILL SURGEON-DENTIST 303 Court Block Cedar 6975 St. Paul DR. EARL S.

KEEN RIVALRY SHOWN IN HIGH SCHOOL DRILLS (Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., July 14—Keen competition marked the thirtieth annual competitive drill of the cadet companies of the colored high schools of the city, at American League Park, from which Company L. of Armstrong, emerged victorious over a field of ten companies. The winning company was commanded by Capt. Powell Allen, assisted by Lieuts. Aloysius Clanton and William Price. Company D. of Armstrong, and Company E, of Dunbar, finished second and third, respectively. Dunbar High School won the banner for the best-drilled battalion. Maj. Maurice Johnson in command. The judges were Capt. S. H. Eps. Lieut. C. A. King, and Lieut. W. R. Browne. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, member Board of Education, presented the awards. Owing to the fact that many of the people of St. Paul fail to appreciate the efforts of the members of the board of the Crispus Attucks Home, we feel at this time that there should be given a statement relative to the actual conditions as they are. Quite recently while making investigations we found many of our citizens making complaints in regard to money that has been put into the Community Chest and the dismbursement of the same, some claiming that we as a people are not deriving any benefits from this fund. That is erroneous and must be corrected immediately. The community chest has been allowing the Crispus Attucks Home $100 per month since last November and we have every reason to believe that they will continue to do so, if we do our share in regard to keeping our pledges. The members of the boards who have worked to place the Crispus Attucks Home in the Community Chest fund are deserving of more credit than is actually being given to them. Owing to the fact the Crispus Attucks Home is a colored institution where our aged and deepest are cared for in a decent manner, it becomes very necessary for us as a board to keep an accurate and correct account of all money paid in and money paid out. This requires no little effort on the part of the secretary and treasurer as well as other member of the board. The conditions of the Crispus Attucks Home was of such nature that it became necessary for the members of the board to put a new roof on the building, incurring an additional expense of $330.00 of which the board had $100 for the initial payment, the rest to be paid in installments every 4 months. We feel that the churches and the lodges should come to our rescue in meeting these obligations and we further invite you to inspect as to the conditions of the building and its management.

(Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 14.—"Pennant, Pennant, whose got the pennant?" is the query that is going the rounds among the baseball fans of the country today. The Negro National League race which looked like a cinch for the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s two weeks ago takes on another aspect even from that of last week. The American Giants fattened their percentage by taking a double bill from the St. Louis Stars on Sunday, July 2, and on July 4-5, taking two games from the Detroit Stars. The Detroiters came back on the sixth and annexed the third game of the series. Previously to coming here Detroit had taken two out of three from Kansas City and as this letter is sent out the fans there are scrambling for seats at the American Giants park for Sunday when Bullett Rogan, late of the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry, will oppose Rube Foster's men. The coming series between the Monarchs and the American Giants is the most crucial series of the season, especially at this time of the year. With Cleveland, Pittsburgh and St. Louis completely out of the running this season, with the Cubans driving for a coveted place in the first division and with Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City and the American Giants of Chicago in a hot race for first place, interest is not lagging in the doings of the league teams. The Cubans came to life again in Indianapolis, winning Monday and taking a twin bill on July Fourth. They head for Detroit, opening there tomorrow in a five-game series while Kansas City is battling Foster's men. The A. B. C.'s should get away at St. Louis, but who can tell what they will do as St. Louis is fighting with her back to the wall, on her own grounds and they took three out of four from the American Giants there. Indianapolis has hit some bad luck. Both Ben Taylor's catchers are out of the game for the present with split fingers. Duncan, the little backstop of the Monarchs, is also laid up with an injury received last Saturday in the game with Detroit at Kansas City. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— "Inky" Strong and "Spike" the Crook are planning on fighting a duel at Dunning Field (Rondo and Arundel) over Zeals. It's a funny thing colored people have no use for water, that is, for swimming or boating, or air, that is, such as an aeroplane trip. The inactivities of the "Duke" and Mr. Epps would make one think that St. Paul was uninhabited, don't you know. If re-organization means anything, the Uptown baseball team should at least win one game more to prove they are back on the fight track. The man who sells that "I ain't gwine to kink any more" for the hair must be doing good business judging from the appearance of his customers. The boss may determine your salary, but you yourself determine your worth. To get more make yourself worth more. HERE'S WHAT IT COSTS TO KE How much does it cost to pay rent?

Both fighters were in Hamilton, where great crowds from all sections had gathered, but final arrangements with the boxing commission could not be completed, and those who had hoped to see a lively scrap were greatly disappointed. It is thought that a bout between Johnson and Jackson may be arranged later. St.Louis Baseball Club to Open New Athletic Stadium By J. M. BATCHMAN, (For the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., July 14.—The St. Louis Stars Amusement Company, owners of the franchise in the National Negro Baseball League in this city and successors to the old St. Louis Giants Co., in the hearts of the fans, has almost completed the new home for the team at Compton and Market Streets in the heart of the city, and within walking distance of over 50,000 colored people. The park when completed will easily seat 10,000 people. This park will be owned exclusively by colored men. Identified with the company are well-known St. Louis Negro business men and some of them have a competence in this world's goods. Dr. George W. McClelland is St. Louis' wealthiest bachelor physician, while Sam Shepard and Richard Kent are prominent in the business world. The company is probably as wealthy as any connected with the league, and it will prove to possess a veritable gold mine in its present location. UPTOWN SANITARY TO PLAY J. BOURESTON'S The Uptown Sanitary baseball team will journey down to South St. Paul on Sunday, July 16 and battle with the J. Boureston team of that city at Lytle Park. The locals promise all of their followers a very lively game in the city where Packing is the chief industry. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. All persons wishing to attend the game can take a bus or street car to South St. Paul and get off at the park gates. NEGRO WOMAN ESCAPES FROM REFORMATORY Mrs. Marie Washington, age 30, escaped from the state reformatory for women at Shakopee Sunday, it was reported to police last week. She was serving a five-year term for grand larceny. The woman was arrested for robbing passengers on Great Northern sleeping cars on April 12 enroute to Minneapolis from Duluth. Your vest pocket was never intended for a toothbrush holder. If you must carry it get a sanitary bag for that purpose. If as the scientists tell us, there is more power in one atom than man can measure, should you or I feel weak, helpless, powerless? Changed conditions often prove the gate to opportunity for the fit the "gate" for the unfit. Defends American Justice in Colleges President Lowell Says Jews and Negroes Get Same Chances In American Schools. (Associated Negro Press) Cambridge, Mass., July 14—President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University, has declared for a fair and equal opportunity for Negro and Jew students in American colleges. In an address to the Alumni Association during Harvard's Commencement week exercises he asserted: "American Colleges can render an indispensable service in blending the different racial groups that pour into the country. To leave out of sight the interests of any group whatever, to fail to consult members of that group about its interests would be wrong. To shut eyes to an actual problem of this kind and ignore its existence would be unworthy of a university."
