"CLOSED DOOR" LEADERS FACE CHANCE OF DEFEAT Democrats Plan Organized System to Shift Race Vote in 1924. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., July 27.—Colored America looks with deep interest upon the trend of events in the great Northwest, following the election of Magnus Johnson of Minnesota to the United States Senate, succeeding the late Senator Knute Nelson. Senator-elect Johnson has openly declared that he favors a law to prevent lynching, sponsored by the United States government. Being outspoken on this subject naturally appeals to the group. Senator Nelson's interest, although chairman of the judiciary committee handling the lynching bill, was only passive. National political leaders have begun to realize that colored voters are doing their own thinking with regard to political conditions. At this time the majority of the voters among colored people are undoubtedly unfriendly to the Republican administration. This feeling of protest has been expressed repeatedly wherever an opportunity at the ballot presented itself. It is known that Republican leaders are proceeding now along the line having a tremendous task before them. Atlantic City Meeting The recent meeting in Atlantic City, sponsored by Republicaifs of New Jersey, is an indication of the trend of feeling which political observers strongly declare must be taken into account. Political strategy that does not take into account the unrest, and in many instances the bitter feeling of colored voters, is regarded as no strategy at all. The Tuskegee hospital situation, with its uncertain future, and the bold threat of the Ku Klux Klan still dangling over the head of the government, continues to occupy the center of the stage. "On the outcome of this sorry mess of administration," says one national leader, "will finally be shown just where colored voters stand with the Republican party." James Weldon Johnson in the New York Age calls it "The Supreme Test." Lincoln League in Chicago. Announcement has been made that the "executive committee" of the "Lincoln league" will meet in Chicago. August 30, "behind closed doors," to consider the Tuskegee hospital problem and other political trends.

Local Association to Take Part in Peace Demonstration St. Paul will step right in line with the other leading cities and countries of the universe on Saturday, July 28, at 12 o'clock noon when a Big Peace Demonstration will be held at the public library followed by a huge parade. Over one thousand communities and 18 foreign countries are participating in a peace demonstration on this same day, which was inaugurated by "The International Council for the Prevention of War and the Women's MORE DAIRY FOOD IS SLOGAN FOR BETTER HEALTH Fourth Thursday in Each Month Is Set Aside for Use of More Dairy Products. The last Thursday of each month has been set aside as Dairy Day by the retail sub-division of the St. Paul Association. This day tends to promote the use of more dairy products in the home, restaurant, boarding house and hotel. By so doing, the public will enable the dairy farmer to produce more of such products. Already many of the leading cafes are introducing special menus on this day made solely from dairy products. The National Dairy Council is planning on publishing a cookbook consisting wholly of dairy dishes; the housewife will gain much knowledge in the preparation of new dishes which hitherto have been unknown. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 International League of Peace and Freedom." A short program will be held at the library, beginning promptly at 12 o'clock noon. Mayor Nelson will deliver the principal address. Invocation by Rev. Frederick M. Elliott, community sing and an oration by Master Thomas Heinze. The following prominent organizations will have representatives: Welfare league, Fourth District Federated Women's clubs, International League of Peace and Freedom, Council of Jewish Women, Y. W. C. A., Rotary club, St. Paul Association and others. Also press representatives from the St. Paul Dispatch, Pioneer Press and Daily News. From our group we have the following: The Everywoman Progressive Council, Adelphal club, various clubs of the Women's City Federation, St. Paul Negro Business league, Urban league, Sterling club, Social and Literary club and press representatives of The Northwestern Bulletin and The Appeal. Peace banners will be furnished for autos. Each club should display its individual banner on autos, which will participate in the parade following program. It is really surprising the many dainty recipes than can be prepared with these various products. For health and stamina nothing can surpass the use of more butter, cheese and milk. There is no substitute for the health-giving qualities these products contain. Over 200 of the leading business firms of this city are doing their bit by striving to make St. Paul the dairy center of the Northwest. Let's get in the swim and do our part by the consumption of more dairy products. Watch the newspapers for special dairy day features. SUCCESS CROWNS CONVENTION AT PILGRIM CHURCH Session Established Precedent in St. Paul for Intelligence of Delegation. ST. PAUL RATED AS BEST CENTER BY VISITORS Several Local People Receive Distinguished Appointments at Convention. (By Mrs. W. T. Francis) The Western Baptist convention is now a memory, but with all a very interesting and pleasant one for the people of St. Paul. Truly, we didn't know that within the Baptist denomination of our race group so many splendid scholarly, Christian gentlemen could be gleaned from only eleven states. It was indeed a splendid surprise, and St. Paul owes a debt of gratitude to the Rev. L. W. Harris, who was so persistent in his efforts to bring our churches of Minnesota in active touch with this great Western convention, through which we have also established a direct connection in that greatest of all religious organizations, white or colored, in the world, the National Baptist convention, of which L.

HARRIS Pastor Pilgrim Church religious, intellectual and executive giant of our race. First, the Women's convention, Mrs. Ida Frazier Bates of Wichita, Kan., gave a convincing demonstration that the redemption of our race from religious, intellectual, political, social and civil bondage is in all probability to come through our women.

The National Negro Business league will convene at Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 15-17. The importance of this meeting is so obvious that the local Business league should arrange to send at least two delegates to the convention. If each member would pay their dues and function in the proper capacity as league associates a splendid representation could be sent to the convention. Those business men of St. Paul who are not members of the Business league should join immediately. With these new members and the delinquent ones becoming financial, it would be possible to send at least two delegates to represent the local branch in a splendid manner. Do not permit St. Paul not to be represented. Let's send a representation to characterize the cooperative manner for which the local Business league has sponsored since its grant of charter. --- Louis to Hold ion During August standing men in the profession have been engaged to give clinics for the dental section, and many of the large manufacturing firms in St. Louis will entertain the pharmaceutical section. The housing committee has been putting forth special efforts to secure the very best homes in St. Louis for the accommodation of the delegates. The recreation committee has planned a variety of social features for the entertainment of those visiting St. Louis during the convention week. Arrangements for the accommodation of delegates in St. Louis are under the direction of Dr. A. W. Craddock, 1004 No. Leffingwell avenue, St. Louis, Mo.

At no time in the history of the Northwest has a more refined and educated group of our race assembled than the delegates to the Western Baptist convention and Women's Missionary and Educational convention that convened here last week. Each session of the convention was marked thoroughness, system and aggressiveness. From haphazard methods of old to specialized manners of the modern way the methods of conducting business in an efficient way was demonstrated. It should be the aim of every race business man to help support this type of convention when they select our city for a visit. More finance should be contributed by those who can afford it in order that these sessions may be successfully carried out. Quite naturally, this type of convention is not held for pecuniary advantage, but they must have finance to maintain the splendid work they are doing. There have been numerous occasions of note in the city, but none surpass the Western Baptist convention. St. Paul holds an every ready welcome to come to our city again. America, who has always prided herself as the criterion for equality and justice, suppressor of evils against unprotected governments and big sister to the cause of humanity, now faces the necessity of proving its traditional egotism or retiring to the rank of other governments. The test is in the form of the recent difficulty in the Philippines. After the Spanish-American War, this government promised to return the Island when it had proven itself able to maintain self government. Governor General Harrison gave them a chance from 1916 to 1921 and it cannot be denied that the Filipinos did not accomplish much during this period. In 1920 President Wilson openly told Congress the time had come when the Philippines must be given self government. The realization that they were ready for self government was just as apparent to the Filipinos as to Wilson himself. The Harding administration, if it may be called an administration, sent Leonard Wood to administer the government for America as governor general. Wood was to function with the Filippino cabinet in preserving the best of interests. Instead he assumed the air of a despot, not only refusing to give assistance to the government, but also decided the Filippinos had too many privileges and determined himself to remove some of them. Here he met with the opposition least expected. The entire cabinet resigned and recently demanded, by unanimous resolution, that Governor General Wood be recalled. It cannot be said the Island government is not justified in its contention to maintain its self-respect at any cost. America cites the imperialistic attitude of the foreign governments. What of her possession of the Philippines and Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the Virgin Islands? What of her virtual control of Cuba and the Republic of Panama? What of the case of Haiti, where the Marines have for years despoiled the native men and made moral slaves of the women through less than morganic marriage; where control of the customs is held by sheer force, regardless of the justification? What of the so-called hegemony interest of Central America and a great portion of South America? We need not stop here. Let us consider America from within, where citizens (in name only) are burned at the stake, lynched, disfranchised and denied trial by jury under the caption of "State Rights," where a government by and for the people only relates to classified groups of self-appointed superiority. Yet the Statue of Liberty stands with uplifted torch in the harbor of New York to characterize the democracy of this government. How can all these things be? Does America live a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life? Is Anglo-Saxon society the only kind that has a right to the benefits of the world? Can one race dominate another in a militaristic fashion and still claim to be the foremost government of the universe? Great changes are destined to come over the world. No nation has ever stood permanently that forgot the rights to happiness of weaker ones. America, you must wake up to the poverty of your riches. Smoldering embers of hatred for your democratic autocracy will some day burst forth into a seething volcano for vindication. Great strength is honorable only when used in the true spirit that the greater than human has taught us. The annual convention of the National Negro Business league meeting in Hot Springs, Ark., August 16-18, is of vital importance to the commercial activities of the race. There is one thing that frequently occurs in business meetings, everything except business proper is discussed before the real purpose of the meeting is arrived at. The Negro Business league has taken its greatest hold in the sections of the country where patronage to race enterprises is almost a forced issue. In the northern and majority of the eastern sections, the Negro business man has attained success only through competition and frequently superior service with his white competitor. He has had little support from the race people, especially where they could place their dollars in a caucasian market. Where these conditions are most prevalent the Negro Business league has not developed 100 per cent in efficiency. This is a problem that should be taken up and thoroughly discussed in order that greater strides may be made by race enterprises, who face this condition. To often, in business conventions, statistics are given to show the amount of finance only acquired by our business men and the method adopted in so doing. Of equal importance is an enumeration of the failures and their causes. In our survey of the things that make a business successful cognizance must be taken of the intricate matters that, unremedied, result in failures. A healthy business is no different to a healthy body. Although knowledge is at hand concerning the keeping of health, we must know how to remedy the ill whenever symptoms present themselves. In order to present a profitable balance sheet a business must know how to offset the deficit. We speak of co-operation. There can be no co-operation without organization. When every race man can visualize the importance of organization to the extent that he will join a protective association as the Negro Business league, we will have co-operation, and co-operation is the thing that counts in making all businesses worth while. It is the discussion of matters 408 Court Block Advertising Rates Furnished on Application.

THE BUSINESS CONVENTION final convention of the National Negro Business Springs, Ark., August 16-18, is of vital activities of the race. There is occurs in business meetings, everything is discussed before the real purpose of the. The Negro Business league has taken actions of the country where patronage is most a forced issue. In the northern sections, the Negro business man has attained competition and frequently superior senator. He has had little support from the men they could place their dollars in a case these conditions are most prevalent the by men in divers vocations that finally brings out the assets and liabilities. We hope that when the Negro Business league convenes that time will be given to these and many more questions of vital importance. This convention will represent the brain of our commercial world, and as such the rank and file expect great things to result from the convocation. There is no line of demarcation in business, regardless of races. Successes are built upon certain adhered to principles and failure is reached in the same manner by adhering to principles, perhaps ignorantly, that prove costly. The continued success and enlarged work of the Negro Business league will be largely determined by the program and policy worked out in this convention. We look to this great assembly to do many things that will advance the commercial status of the Negro race in America. Not so very long ago. Negroes throughout the country were delighted to learn of the establishment of a Negro Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee. Along with this announcement was the information that the major portion of the operating forces, including executive heads, physicians, nurses, etc., would be composed of Negroes. This was most pleasing news indeed and all of us were looking towards the completion of the hospital with a great deal of interest. Well, it's finished and opened, but none of the important places are held by Negroes, up to this date. A most determined opposition has been inaugurated by the "powers that be" in the South and there's nothing doing. There have been so many conflicting reports that it is rather difficult at this distance to determine just what the real conditions are. However, we know there are no Negroes there in any executive or official capacity whatever beyond a few nurses. Many demonstrations of disapproval of anything of this sort has been staged by the whites. They have even gone so far as to have a parade of the Ku Klux Klan, held in protest of any Negro appointees and the N. A. A. C. P. has sent out reports, purported by them to be reliable to the effect that many of the robes worn in this parade were sheets and linens from this hospital and after the parade was over many of the leaders and Klansmen were entertained at a banquet held in the hospital and given by those in charge there. Shades of "Booker T." Can you beat it? We have a score of so-called leaders, but none of them seem to be able to locate anybody in authority, upon whom the responsibilities for the present state of affairs may be placed. It is conditions like this that awakens us to a realization of the fact that we have no real Negro leaders. No real big man that stands out and measures up to the requirements of leadership. No Douglas or Washington to present our cause, even the church which used to be a potent factor in matters of this kind seems to be sadly deficient in the caliber of its leaders of today and the race has no pulpit champions of the type of Bishop Turner and Grant. It's true, of course, that nearly every city or community has men of high caliber and more than the average intelligence, but their influence as a rule does not extend beyond their own immediate locality. With the possible exception of Prof. Du Bols, we haven't a single Negro with a national reputation. Most of those who pose as, or are accepted as race leaders, are politicians, pure and simple; mostly simple and they fear to make themselves too aggressive in regards to the mixup at the Tuskegee hospital because it might disturb their political job or prospects and as a result of these peculiar conditions and for the lack of some strong man to go to the front for the race, what at first looked to be a splendid opportunity for capable and efficient men and women of the race to demonstrate their abilities in important and responsible positions, looks at the present time to be a dismal failure. Let us hope that some adjustment may be made, whereby some portion of the original plan, at least, may be carried out. I had intended in this week's article to call attention to some editorials that were of more than passing interest to us, but it seems as though the minds of the editor of the Bulletin and this writer ran in parallel lines and they appeared in last week's Bulletin. However, I wish to quote one that appeared in the Minnesota Dally Star, the next day after the one from the Tribune, which reads as follows: "There is increasing concern over the northward migration of the Negroes, according to a recent Bulletin issued by the Research Department of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ of America. Agricultural life on the whole, in the South, is being seriously affected by the large movement of Negro tenants and farm hands, says a report from the Department of Agriculture. The report estimates that 13 per cent of the Negro farm labor of Georgia, 3 per cent of that in Alabama and South Carolina, 2 per cent of that in Florida NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN and about $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of that in Arkansas moved North during the past twelve months. There are indications of the change in the type of Negroes who are moving. The family man, the thrifty farm tenant and many of those with small accumulations of property are now migrating in larger proportions than formerly. Through friends and relatives who have gone North in previous years they have learned that the venture can be successfully made as to the chances of finding work and habitation and as to meeting the climatic conditions. Now that the employing interests of the South are suffering from decreasing supply of Negro labor, they have suddenly discovered that the colored man is a very valuable industrial asset. They are due to discover further that they cannot keep a race of human beings in a position of economic inferiority, shut off from adequate intellectual and moral development, and at the same time get from it the best productive service. With the Negro coming North, it is a good time to realize the truth that the real solution of the race question lies in giving the Negro a chance to "live and develop." There have been many of us who have thought these stories of northward migration were being exaggerated, others of us who probably have given no thought to the matter at all, but when these big white dallys all over the country, North and South, are finding the situation serious enough to devote editorial comments of this nature to it, then it seems it's time for us to sit up and take notice. These people are steadily coming in our midst. Quietly, with no fuss or noise, they are taking their places among us to become a part of our future civic, industrial and spiritual lives. Go to any public gathering of our people now and see how many there are present whom you do not know. What are we doing to meet the changed conditions that inevitably must be the result. There is where we will understand the benefit of the Urban league, for it is the purpose and work of this organization to assist in the proper adjustment of these strangers within our gates to their new environments. A most interesting news item is the notice of the recent appointment, through the recommendation of Secretary of War Weeks of Captain Moody Staten to be general of the Army of Liberia. Liberia may seem small and inconsequential to us, but she's a country, recognized by and maintaining diplomatic relations with most of the recognized governments of the world and her army may be a small one, but it is a pretty safe assertion that the man who commands it will receive every courtesy and right which his rank entitles him to wherever he may go to represent the country he is serving, with the possible exception of certain sections of the United States. Our chief concern should be in the hope that Captain Staten may make good. Well the election is over and Minnesota has another Farmer-Labor senator. Just how much the Negro vote contributed towards his election nobody knows. We didn't get very much from the Republicans who have passed out and can't fare much worse at the hands of these new ones. Maybe to win us along with the other "common" people they may take some active interest in some legislation that would guarantee us some of our constitutional rights. Any how we are watchfully waiting. Mrs. W. B. Wilson of Chicago is in the city attending her daughter, Mrs. W. R.

Second-Hand Heart Throbs By JANE OSBORN © 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate "Mother, dear mother, you couldn't really expect me to go to that hospital fair this afternoon," profested Molly Yates, between bites of toast and sips of coffee and glances at "Beginners' Latin" opened on the table before her. "I don't get through at high school until two and, believe me, it's no cinch teaching Latin when you haven't studied it for three or four years and never knew very much then. I told 'em at the board that I'd rather take math or even history than Latin, but it's the only vacancy they had at the high, and of course I didn't want to teach grade school if I could help. So you see I just can't go—it'll take me two hours to get tomorrow's lessons prepared and dear knows when I'll have time to correct any papers. "Of course I'm interested in the hospital. You know I sent them $5 and I'd have loved to have dressed a doll or something if I'd had time; and just you take those books upstairs in my room for the second-hand book stall. I think that's a fine idea. Who wants to keep trashy books after reading them once? Just you look through my bookcase—take anything that is cheap or trashy that you don't think we'd want. I think everything on the two bottom rows would be all right and when Mrs. Dawkins comes with her car let her take them over." And after this monologue, Molly Yates, feeling rather important over her recent appointment to teach at the Mapleton high school, kissed her mother and departed. Three blocks away this same hospital fair was under discussion at the Stockton breakfast table, while Mrs. Stockton and her son, the mayor of Mapleton, broke their breakfast rolls together in the stately dining room of the old Stockton mansion. "Now, Bob, dear," Mrs. Stockton had suggested, "I know a man hates a fair, but in your position—" "That's so," said Mayor Bob, looking really interested. "The hospital fair begins today, and I do suppose I ought to show my face." "Bob, I'm so glad you didn't mind my suggesting it. The ladies will be so gratified—and since the ladies vote—" "You arch-schemer, you," laughed Bob. "You'll have me governor yet, mother mine. But honest, I'd made up my mind to blow in and leave maybe $50 at the fair. They'd rather have it that way than sent in a check. But I'll have to go this afternoon—I've a committee this evening." Bob Stockton wasn't quite so keen about going to the fair as his speech might have indicated. He rather dreaded the ordeal of drawing up to any of the booths to face the charge of smiling saleswomen who would be so gratified to see the mayor and so eager to be able to boast that they had sold him a potted plant, a box of fudge, a tea cozy or a baby doll. Bob Stockton glanced about the room from the vantage point of the entrance hall of the big assembly room. He wanted to see the lay of the land. Doll tables and fancy tables were especially embarrassing. He'd have to make the rounds eventually, of course, he reasoned, but he'd begin somewhere else. He saw at one end of the room a table that looked like the outside exhibit of a second-hand book dealer—tables crowded with books in neat array. It would be a simple matter to glance over these volumes and make a selection of a dozen or so—not that there'd be any book in the collection that he'd ever want to read. Still it would be easier than trying to make selection at a doll table. The two young women in charge of the second-hand book stall were too flustered at having their table the first visited by the handsome young mayor of Mapleton to start in any of the rapid-fire sales talk that might have greeted Bob at any of the tables manned by the older, more experienced hands. So Bob had a chance to let his eyes run over the titles of the books—just as if it really made any difference which book he bought. The books seemingly had been arranged according to colors and then graded according to sizes in colors, with the result that Bob's eyes ran from a book on caring for pet dogs to a volume on meditations; one on the labor situation fifteen years ago, to a book of housekeeping—a book of instructions for playing bridge, ten years out of date to—Bob's eyes caught the title of the book next—a twelve-mo. red volume with yellow letters that said "Heart Throbs." From somewhere in the past of Bob's experience drifted up shadows of a memory that brought the color mounting to his cheeks and made his heart beat a little fast. He felt enormous embarrassment and then chagrin. At least, he concluded hastily, he could not examine the volume before the simmering gaze of the two young women behind the counter. So he lifted a dozen volumes from the table before him. "I'll take this bunch," he said, "I like red books. No, never mind wrapping them. I'll just put them in the car." There was a card bearing the inscription "Fifty cents" on the table, but Bob handed out a ten-dollar bill and refused to take change. He had the book—that is all he realized. Incidentally he had established the political allegiance of two young voters for life. "Ten dollars for that handful of volumes that weren't worth ten cents apliece--three cheers for Mayor Bob." Somehow, with his row of books continually slipping under his arm, the young mayor made one round of the other tables and managed to get rid of fifty or sixty dollars, managed also to make each group of saleswomen feel that he had bestowed a little more attention, a little more favorable comment on their table, and he even carried off a huge baby doll from the toy booth, refusing to have it wrapped, causing the enormous amusement of all the ladies—all by this time firm and true political supporters of Mayor Bob Stockton. Bob hurried out to his car, dumped the baby doll, a pound of fudge, pin cushions, sachets and dear knows what else unceremoniously into it and sped home. At home he didn't take the trouble then to remove the burden of his purchase—save the little pile of books—and with these he hurriedly went to the privacy of his own study. It had all come vividly back to him by that time. Eight years ago—he must have been twenty then—he had selected this book from the selves of a city book seller as the one most appropriate to carry the message he dared not express otherwise to the eighteen-year-old idol of his dreams, Molly Yates. He looked at the fly leaf—there was still the brief inscription—all he had dared—"For Molly from Bob." That was when Bob was just going off to college. There had been letters. Yes, Molly had even gone to his junior ball with him. But even then Molly had made it clear that Bob had a rival. Then somehow the affair had spun itself out. A few pieces of jewelry had been returned, but not that volume of "heart Throbs." Occasionally Bob saw Molly now, but there was never anything but a very formal greeting, a greeting-that always left Bob with a queer feeling of rage or regret. And now he felt even more rage—to think that Molly Yates should cast off this book without even taking the trouble to erase the inscription in the front. While Bob was thinking thus a very agitated person had appeared at the second-hand book booth. It was Molly's mother. She had sent a book by mistake. Her daughter had discovered the mistake. She must get it back before it was sold. It was sold? To whom? Mayor Stockton? What relief! Certainly he didn't want the thing, he just bought it to spend his money and he lived so near! And off hurried Mrs. Yates, so glad that the book had fallen into Mr. Stockton's hands. She had forgotten, if she ever knew, that Bob Stockton had been one of her daughter's admirers. They had been numerous in those days. She hurried to the Stockton house without reporting to her daughter. A mald summoned Bob Stockton, who by that time was reading some of the sentimental, love-laden poems that went to make up the contents of the volume. He was rather glad for any interruption. Mrs. Stockton was sitting in the drawing room quite agitated. She explained: "It was with a batch of books," she said. "My daughter said to take all the trash, and goodness knows that was trash, but when she found it was gone she was so upset—said it was her dearest possession. She is so tired I suppose that's why she felt so upset. As mayor you ought to look into the way they overwork the teachers. But now if I can just take back that book—you must let me pay for it—my daughter need never know it left the fair." Bob got the book and insisted on taking Mrs. Yates back home. Then he insisted on talking to Molly alone. "You really do care—a little," Bob began. "Molly dear—" "Yes, Bob, I haven't quite forgotten." That was about all they said, but when Mrs. Stockton slipped back into the library five minutes later she saw Molly and the young mayor standing solemnly there in the deep glooming. One of the mayor's arms was around Molly and Molly's pretty head was resting on the mayor's shoulder. Mrs. Stockton coughed nervously and Molly tried to free herself, but the mayor did not permit. "We have you to thank," he said to Mrs. Stockton, not in the least embarrassed. "Now may I ask for the hand of your daughter?" SHOES FOR ONE-LEGGED MEN Fellows With Only One Foot Get Choice Stock in Selecting Half Pair. "Where do the one-legged men buy their shoes?" the veteran proprietor of a busy shoe store was asked, according to the New York Sun. "When a man with one foot missing comes in, we give him his choice of the stock in the selection of half a pair," he said. "He may be fitted as carefully as the man with two feet and have as much liberty in adapting his purchase to his personal tastes." "What becomes of the other shoe?" "That depends on the style. If his choice means the breaking of a pair of normal type we have no difficulty in duplicating the shoe he has bought by ordering another shoe from the factory. In a case as simple as that we charge only a trifle more than half the price of a full pair—just enough to care for the additional expense of placing an order for a single shoe. If the style is not standard, and we expect to have difficulty in replacing the shoe, we charge considerably more than half price." Cost of Education Sears. Education in Scotland costs three times as much as before the war. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN HARRY WILLS IN QUIET TRAINING FOR DEMPSEY (By the Associated Negro Press) North Adams, N.

"Linc" Throws Bomb in G.O.P's (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D., C., July 27.— Henry Lincoln Johnson has thrown a political bomb into the Republican party situation in the state of Georgia. Johnson has proposed that a colored woman shall be selected as an associate member on the Republican national committee, the woman to come from Georgia. Johnson's proposition has caused consternation in Republican circles in this city, where some affect to believe many of the white women from the South who are now associate members of the committee will refuse to serve with a Negro woman, should one be appointed to a committee place. Henry Lincoln appears to be indifferent to the effect his proposed action will have on the future prospects of the present administration of the party. Many powerful politicians are said to feel that if any representation is given it should be in a state where the constituents had a ballot. BIRMINGHAM "BARONS" ENTER MAJOR LEAGUE (Special to Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., July 27.—The Birmingham Black Barons, the first Magic City baseball team to ever own membership in a major league baseball association, will play their first game as a major league team Thursday at Rickwood field, when they meet the Milwaukee Blacks in the first of a three-game series. Joe Rush, the colored owner of the team, recently purchased the franchise of the Reading, Pa., club in Major Association of Colored Baseball Clubs and the game Thursday will be the first game for the locals under their new rating. Up to last week the local team had been a member of the Southern Association of Colored Teams, but had so far outdistanced their fellow members that games between them had grown to be a farce. The Birmingham team having won some 50 games during the season and lost six to eight. A large number of fans, both white and black, are expected to turn out for the game Thursday to see Birmingham's first baseball team play as a major leaguer. One side of the grandstand is being reserved each day from now on for white patrons, and all that attend will be extended every courtesy by the Negro baseball association, it was stated by owner Bush. Milwaukee is said to have a strong team and will give the local outfit plenty to think about during the series. Miss Mae Peak, sister of Mrs. Thomas Slaughter, 570 Fuller avenue, who was operated on at St. Luke's hospital last Tuesday, is reported to be getting along nicely.

So that when Frank Crain, a dapper well set up colored youth, strolled down Main street in a pair of bell-bottomed Rudolph Valentino pants, he attracted too much attention from the girls of the town. A gang of white youths seized him, tore the trousers from his legs and the police threw him in jail. As an aftermath, his mother, Mrs. Nellie Crain, filed suit for $10,000 against Chief of Police McKinney for the false arrest of her son, who, she said, was bitten and terrified by rats and vermin, only to be acquitted in police court the next day.

Sometimes it 1s & great help to tell a sympathetic friend what 1s bothering one.” “What is a sympathetic friend?” asked March, “Poor March," sighed the Fairy Queen, “that is too bad.

DRIED SOY BEANS ARE GOOD Desirable Article of Food and Will Grow in Favor as It Becomes Better Known, Until 1916 the soy bean had been used but little in the United States for food, and only as a special diet for per- sons requiring foods of a low starch content. Much Interest has been shown during the last few years in the possl- bilities of the soy bean for food. The United States Department of Agricul ture and many schools of cookery and domestic science have conducted suc- cessful experiments in utilizing the ried beans in the manner of the navy bean and the green beans when three- fourths to full-grown as a green-vege- table bean. ‘The variety and palatabil- ity of the forms im which the bean can be served make it a very desirable ar- tlele of food, and undoubtedly it will grow in favor as It becomes better known.

Berwick Sayers’ says: “Although certain of his friends, whose opinions I value, have counsel- ed avoidance of his racial, qualities, Coleridge-Taylor never forgot them, never feared to defend them, and his music is fraught with their charac- teristics.” Dr. Chas. Villiers Stan- ford says: “'Til the day of his death he was never known to do an unkind act, or say an unkind word.” Mr, Alfred Noyes says: “He be- queathed to the world a heritage of undying beauty. It was his own drawn from vital fountains, pulsed with his life, and he lives while muste lives; his great simplleity and happy courage in an alien world, and his gentleness made all that knew him love him." 20. What became of the statue of Zeus? The statue of Zeus in the Temple of Olympus was the third wonder. Phidias, the famous sculptor, some of whose supposed work is still preserv- ed in European museums, executed the effigy, which was of wood cover- ed with sheets of fine ivory made pli- able by flame. The eyes were of gems, the hair of sold., The statue was destroyed by fire in 408 A. D., about 750 years after construction. 21. What effect did the French revolution have in Haiti? In 1791, as a result of the French revolution, the national assembly de- creed that people of color born of free parents in Haiti were French citizens and entitled to all privileges as such. This decree raised a storm of protest among the white residents, and France revoked the decree. The Haitians thereupon organized a coun- ter revolution, and Great Britain and Spain, upon appeal of the white roy- alists, landed forces for a conquest and pacification of the Island. In August, 1793, commissioners were sent from France, in the name of the Freneh revolution, and immediately upon their arrival they proclaimed UNIVERSAL FREEDOM. Next Week's “Whatnots.” 22.

HAMMER VICTIMS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO LIVE (By the Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., July 27—Sam Moody and Clarence Halley were so severely beaten with hammers last Thursday night by “unknown White assailants” that there is a strong probability that both may die as the result of their injuries. The men have been in the employ as chauf- feur and houseman in the family of H. A. Batchelor, a well known busi- ness and social figure in this city. $8,000 worth of diamonds were re- ported missing by the Batchelor household. The Negroes were close- ly questioned by their assailants as to their knowledge of the robbery. When they denied their connection with the theft they were then beaten with hammers by their questioners. The police affects to be making an investigation of the outrage. ‘WORMS TURN IN TEXAS; LOGGED WRONG PARTY (By the Associated Negro Press) Port Arthur, Texas, July 27.—This center of Texas culture is having the unusual experience of seeing the worm turn, Three’ members of the LW. W., the radical labor organiza- tion, were flogged here recently and jspirited away. Actions of this kind when they affect Negroes or ordinary whites are usually accepted as a mat- ter of course. But the I. W. W.’s ordered a demonstration made in Port Arthur and as a result 20,000 members of the organization are said to be en route to this Texas town. Port Arthur officials say they will put them in chain gangs working on the street if the gathering materializes. The outtome is awaited with interest.

N. I. A. here was taken from her home and flogged by colored men wearing masks. Eleven have been arrested and charged with the deed. Among the prisoners are four women who were said to have donned men’s clothing and masks for the occasion. PULLMAN PORTER PRAISED FOR UNUSUAL MERIT Mr. B. D. Young, 3840 Eleventh avenue south, Minneapolis, is proving that race employes of the Pullman ‘are displaying interest in their work other than what is casually expected. The following is taken from the Pull- man news: It is not often that 2 Pullman por- ter is in a position to render service beyond his particular car, but Porter B. D. Young of the Minneapolis dis- trict is not unmindful of what is go- ing on throughout the rest of the train, particularly if it pertains to the trucks, brake or draft rigging, and this was evidenced in a report he made to the train conductor of C. & N, W. No. 517 on May 12 which prob- ably saved lives and certainly much property damage. Porter Young had no Pullman conductor on this occa- sion, but he has operated over the line for many years. Pulling into a small town on the line, he felt that all was not right with the running of his car, and immediately notified the train conductor that they must have Tun over a broken rail or hit an au- tomobile. Nothing unusual was found, but a slow order was left for the opposite train, carrying coaches qnd sleeping cars. This train, run- ding on slow time, found the broken rail and the engine and tender were derailed. Railway Div. Supt. M. J. Boyle wrote Porter Young that “I take pleasure in sending you here- with a personal check in your favor. * * * [trust dt will indicate that I appreciate what you did in the say- ing of from $100,000 to $160,000 worth of equipment from being dam- aged, and while the amount is not large, we hope it will fully demon- strate that we did not let the matter Pass without expressing our grateful- ness for what you did, and ineidental- ly to let you know that we are thank- ful for the alertness you digplayed.” Porter Young was employed at Chi- cago in 1901 for service in St. Paul, where he worked until June 29, 1914, and was then transferred to Minneap- olis. Mrs, Wm. England, 536 St. An- thony avenue, has been quite ill and is confined to her home. JE Bi?

CHICAGOANS BASK IN SUNSHINE OF WEALTH (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, July. 27.—The wealth of colored Chicagoans is difficult to es- timate. Because of the diversity of population, and the welcoming of their business by the big downtown banks, no exact tab can be made on bank deposits. Experts, however, claim that colored Chicagoans have ‘more than $20,000,000 on deposit in various banks of Chicago. Official. reports of five South Side banks, where a majority of the peo- ple live, and @ large portion of the business is colored, this week give combined resources of more than $9,000,000, Two of these banks are colored, with resources as follows: Douglass Nattonal bank, Anthony Overton, president, $646,536.57; Binga State bank, Jesse Binga, pres- ident, $976,940.58. The Binga State Bank has bought Property at what is generally known here as the “Center of flie World,” Thirty-fifth and State streets, and is preparing to erect an exclusive bank building to cost practically $200,000. _ ‘Belephone: Dale 44170 THE COSMOPOLITAN GROCERY 4.

R. says that it's nobody's bizness but his own if he does walk about eight miles every Monday night to get back to work after the boat excursion.

Correction I would like to announce that the article inserted in the Northwestern Bulletin last week by Mr. J. C. Davis of Chicago concerning the death and burial of my husband, John Houghton, is wholly untrue. Nor the statement that one John Lane was the only person found who could render assistance. The telegram to Chicago to his brother-in-law, soliciting funds and other incidentals were done without my knowledge. The body was removed to the undertaker by myself and permission to Mr. and Mrs. Davis to take the body to Chicago for burial was given only through myself. These misstatements of facts by the above mentioned parties were of great injustice to myself and sons. I make this statement in order that all may know that the service rendered was either by myself or through my permission. For any business affairs of Mr. Houghton I am to be seen and not Mr. Lane or Mr. Davis. Mrs. Elizabeth Houghton, 427 University Ave. ELECTION IS HELD BY FEDERATION OF WOMEN The Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs, a sectional group of the National Association of Colored Women, opened its third biennial convention at St. Paul Baptist church July 16 to 19 in Los Angeles, Cal.

Vardaman Has Seen Best Days (By the Associated Negro Press) Jackson, Miss., July 27.—The impossible Vardaman has probably made his last appearance for public office in this state. There are five candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor and his name has not been brought forward as a contestant for the honor. This is an unusual situation. Vardaman has been one of the picturesque as well as one of the most detested figures in the political history of the state. Dark, almost to the swarthiness of a mulatto, he has been, nevertheless, the most conspicuous shouler about Negro dominance among all the public men during the past twenty-five years in any part of the South. His "fade away" is being regarded as one of the few healthy political signs of the day. Mr. Gus Banks surprised his many friends by marrying Mrs. Sarah Briggs of Calumet, Mich., who arrived in St. Paul a few weeks ago.
