COOLIDGE AGAINST JIM CROWEISM Big Exposition Is to Open at Union Hall VOLUME II, NO. 35 COOL Big E COMMITTEE PICKS FAVORITE HALL FOR EXHIBITION Three-day Exhibition Is Tentative Program of Local Businessmen. ENTIRE BUILDING TO HOUSE LARGE CROWD Style Show and Girls Popularity Contest Will Again Prove Very Popular. The committee on Promotion of the local Negro Business League has secured the entire building at Union Hall for the Exhibition and the date has been set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 22, 23 and 24. The numerous reservations already made proves conclusively that the interest created at the last exposition has been augmented during the past several months. One of the phases that was, in a measure, disappointing at the last exposition, inadequacy of space, will be remedied at the exposition this year. Sufficient space to accommodate all exhibitors is being provided also to take care of the hundreds of spectators who will be in attendance. The committee secured all space available at Union Hall which will accommodate the vast throng expected. Every member of the local body is lending aid to the committee in bringing about the desired success. Popularity Contest The Style Show and popularity contest will be on a larger scale than last year. For the Style Show, new gowns are being prepared by well known designers and every new idea in the ladies' apparel will be on display. The popularity contest will again prove a big drawing card. The contest will be a Twin City affair and the beautiful daughters of both St. Paul and Minneapolis will vie for supremacy. A prospectus of the plan for the contest will be given in next weeks issue. Many new features and surprises are held in store for the entertainment of the public. Committee Busy Everyday new features are being added by the committee on promotion and all indications point to a tremendous success this year. If careful planning and everyone being interested in putting the Exposition over, mean anything, the November display will be the topic of conversation for many days afterward. The members of the Business League are individually making their Exhibition worth while by helping the Promotion committee create interest. A campaign for new members is on and every possible method of boosting is being tried by the enthusiastic members. Three days, in contrast to the two days last year, will give an opportunity for all to witness the Exhibition. Remember the date November 22, 23 and 24.

Almost two years ago they entered business and are quite successful. The happy couple have the best wishes of their large circle of friends, who trust they will enjoy many years of happiness. JUDGE IS SORRY, TOO, SO HE GIVES 'VAG' 10 DAYS (By the Associated Negro Press) Toronto, Can., Oct. 6.—Stan Mack wandered as far from his Ohio home as the Woodbine race track, but he didn't like Canada, neither its climate nor his people. Even the fine weather that Toronto is enjoying at the present time failed to gladden his heart, so he took a freight car for home. Just outside of the city he was halted, escorted back to Toronto and charged with vagrancy. "I'm not a vagrant, I've $7.00," declared Mack. "Where?" asked the judge. "At the Woodbine track," was the answer. "I'm sorry you don't like Canada," said the judge in his sweetest voice, "because you are going to visit us for awhile before you go home. You will be our guest at the jail for 10 days." Mr. W. H. Hall arrived in the city last week from Los Angeles, Calif. and is the guest of his brother, Phil Hall, 347 Cathedral Place. ST.

This is a distinction never before attained by one of his race.' Hayes recently returned from Europe, where he gave concerts in London, Paris and Vienna. He sang by royal command before King George at Buckingham Palace. Surprise Awaits At the Crisp Two years ago, October 4, Mr. and Mrs. George Carter took charge of Crispus Attucks and have since that time developed it into one of the best kept homes for the aged in the state. From an unkept dwelling the building has been converted into a cheery home for the inmates. Everything from basement to attic is kept in immaculate condition. Floors and baseboard almost sparkle with cleanliness; the walls and ceiling are thoroughly cleaned frequently. The very appearance shows much thought, care and labor by those responsible for its maintenance. The home will easily accommodate twenty-eight persons.

MOOS INVITES FELLOW CLERKS TO MEETING High Mark Was Due to Appointee's Zeal in Understanding All Angles of the Work. At a recent meeting held at the St. Paul Post Office the official appointment of James Murphy, 1354 Thomas street, to special clerk was announced by Postmaster Moos. The appointment came as a surprise to Mr. Murphy and those who had worked with him for a number of years. An examination was given for the position and came under the supervision of Postmaster General News at Washington. Out of many competitors Mr. Murphy was chosen as he secured the unusual high average of 99.68. Such grading is seldom given in the Civil Service department. The appointment did not come as a matter of seniority but solely from merit and efficiency. Clerks Present Seventeen fellow clerks assembled in the Postmaster's office with Mr. Murphy and following the remarks from Mr. Moos, each expressed their compliments to the newly appointed chief clerk and their appreciation for his unstring efforts in showing them the advantages of doing things correctly. The opinion was unanimous that Mr. Murphy had no superior for the appointment. Following Mr. Murphy expressed his thanks to Postmaster Moos and his fellow clerks assuring them that he would give his best efforts to promote efficiency and that the present administration might rest assured that everything within his power would be used to make the department more efficient.

A grand treat is in store for the Twin Cities in the form of a sacred drama to be given at St. Peters A. M. E. Church, Minneapolis, on Wednesday evening, October 10. The drama will be given under the personal direction of Mme E. L. Bruce well known dramatic artist. For the past year Mme Bruce has been in the state of Virginia where she presented this exceptional entertainment at many of the large churches. Her activities have not been confined to Virginia alone as she has given numerous other cities, in the southern states, an opportunity to see this unusual drama. Everyone who has been fortunate in witnessing the presentation are agreed that this religious drama is far reaching and very impressive from the beginning to the end; representing a careful selection of material. Splendid success has Clef Club Plans 2nd Style Show Every one is looking with eager expectancy toward the Style Show, to be staged at the South Side Auditorium Monday evening, October 15, by the Minneapolis Clef club. The Clef club is a newly organized social club and has gained a splendid reputation as sponsors of good behavior on all occasions and have virtually eradicated the belief that good conduct cannot be secured, at all times, at the Auditorium. The gowns will be furnished for the Style Show from Askjn & Marine Clothiers. A much more elaborate event will be given this year. Last season's show was the best ever in Minneapolis. The show will be given under the personal supervision of Mrs. Edith Moore, as last year, and she plans to present many new designs and exclusive models to the guests. Music for the Style Show and dance will be furnished by Moore's Concert band. A special invitation is extended to Milady to see the season's creations. CORRECTION In commenting on the progress of the Minnesota Building and Loan Association last week, it was inadvertently stated that the company had $5,500,000 to lend on homes. It should have been stated that the sum had been written in amount of shares to mature. been met with everywhere Mme Bruce has given the drama. Local Talent Talent from all churches in Minneapolis will assist in the presentation and the choir of St. Peter will take an active part. Several other musical numbers will be given. The role of "The Lost Sinner" will be played by Mine Eva B. Walker who is the foremost eloquitionist of the race in the Northwest. In being able to take advantage of so good and so unusual a treat we hope, that the Twin Cities will express their appreciation by being at St. Peters church in large numbers to see a religious drama that must be seen to be thorny appreciated. The admission will be even twenty-five cents for adults and fifteen cents for children under twelve years of age which is very small considering the type of play. Don't fall to see the wonderful play and don't forget the date October 10 at St. Peters A. M. E. Church, Minneapolis. Dancing Party In the Mill City Mrs. M. M. M. Donovan and Mrs. N. C. Cabbell entertained at a dancing party Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Donovan complimentary to Miss Fannie B. Rosser of Durham, N. C. The home was prettily decorated with a red and green color scheme. Shaded lights produced a twilight glow, a sparkling fire gleamed from the fire-place around which were bunches of autumn leaves. Dance was enjoyed to the mellow orchestra strains. Refreshing punch was dispensed between dances; later ice cream baskets containing red cream strawberries capped with green were served. At the close of the party Mrs. Donovan presented Miss Rosser with a beautiful Japanese bouquet. Those present were besides the guest of honor Miss Rosser, Miss Mildred Shull, Messrs. Martin Brown, E.

The voting indicated a spirited contest. Wood receiving 1,553 and Jones 1,120 votes. Better make your reservations, as space is going fast at the Business League Exposition. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS EISM PRESIDENT SAYS CLERKS ARE NOT TO BE JIM CROWED Clerks Welcome Fact That President Will Not Permit Any Form of Prejudice. ASSERTION-ACCEPTED AS BEING AUTHENTIC New Administration Said to Hold to Harding Plan in Preference to McAdoo. Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—Our informant in the story following is a prominent official, not a member of the cabinet, but holding such an important position in the government that he possesses cabinet prestige without being under cabinet control. He says that word has gone out from President Coolidge to all bureaus and departments of the government that there "must not be any discrimination in the treatment of employees or citizens on account of color" during his administration. Statement Authoritative This statement, which is vouchered for as absolutely authoritative, is of arresting significance, since it is the first executive order concerning the conduct of all departments that has been issued by the new president. In fact Mr. Coolidge, deferring to the familiarity that department and bureau heads hold to administration of their offices, has left the details entirely to them. But the president enlightened by many opportunities for observation during the tenure of his residence here as vice president, is determined to make a sweeping disposal of the abuses, largely racial, that were bequeathed to his administration by the Democratic party. McAdoo's Prescription The first prescription of any nature shown among governmental employees was inaugurated by William Gibbs McAdoo, former Democratic secretary of the treasury, son-in-law of Woodrow Wilson and present receptive, deceptive and active candidate for the Democratic nomination for president. It began when John Skelton Williams, former Democratic comptroller of the treasury and a sion of the first families of Virginia, ordered separate toilet arrangements for the "Colored employees" under his charge. From this incident discrimination and segregation spread like wildfire until it was considered to be a diploma of Democratic prestige and favor with the Wilson administration to add some new insult or humiliation to our people. Work of Democrats This is one of the many problems that the Democrats handed down to the late Mr. Harding and in the pressure of the responsibilities of the great office he endeavored to wipe it out, but his predecessors had honeycombed the departments so effectively with Democrats and protected them with civil service rules that it was difficult to secure immediate abeyance. But rumors come from an official source that President Coolidge means business in connection with this order to throw down all bars in the service that segregate, discriminate or restrict opportunities for advancement to any class of American citizens. AGED MAN IS SENT TO RAMSEY COUNTY HOME Investigations which have been in operation by Mr. Elmer A. Carter, secretary of the Urban league, concerning Al Hendricks, aged man confined in the county jail, have revealed his true name as John Allen, a resident of St. Paul since 1865. A medical examination has proven that the man's condition is not due to any physical allment; he is merely suffering from senility due to the infirmities of old age. Upon recommendation he will be committed to the Ramsey County Home. --- Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Perhaps some of us are laboring under false impressions as to what constitutes race pride. There may be a diversity of opinions on that particular subject, but it is unanimous that the individualistic businessman who sees no gain in any project that is not for his sole benefit lacks something necessary to the commercial development of the race as a whole. The comparative infinitesimal portions of a body when grouped together develop a formidability that is worthy of respect. So is it with the business development when many units are merged into a protective body. Co-operation pays when once the advantages are realized and put into practical usage. The first thing is to secure the mutual confidence from within that we are able to do things worthwhile; secondly it will be more easy to convince those of the other group that we are seeking to accomplish the best by working together for that end. These two features can be secured only through co-operative measures. It is very simple when correctly analyzed, but it is seemingly taking an unusually long time for the force of the realization to begin its function. The Negro Business league has done much to stimulate the Commercial growth of our race. It has been in constant touch with the civic affairs of the city. The vigilance of the league has been the cause of preventing some of our self-appointed leaders, who have proven themselves undeserving of assistance, from taking advantage of public solicitation for their personal welfare. All these things have been done for the good of the race. In spite of this splendid reputation some have not recognized the worth whileness of the organization. Or if they have they are inconsistent enough to believe that individual gain does more for the race than co-operation. The fallacy of such can be readily seen when cognizance is taken of the good to be done when all forces work together for that end. The Business league will hold their annual exhibition in a few weeks. They plan to make it the largest and best ever in the Northwest. The success of this exhibition is largely dependent on the support given by the commercial side of our number. Are you in business? And if so you realize the necessity of doing something for the benefit of the race from a business angle? The exhibition should appeal to every one who possesses real race pride. It should be made the greatest event possible and can be if our business men will give unqualified support. When the committee solicits each merchant to secure a booth for his exhibit the space should be taken. A substantial portion of our commercial world do not receive their proper quota of race trade because they do not affiliate themselves with organizations or any movement that increases the co-operative plan. When we speak of racial pride, let us take in consideration the meaning, and if we are not 100 per cent for the race let the beginning be now. Future development can be realized if present co-operative measures are adopted. The Business league needs the best of race men to make it more complete and to help it function for the best of interests. The cooperation of all commercial people will do this; so if you are not a member of the league, join now and Show Real Race Pride.

But and house cleaning is now in order. Green and Give Fairness a Chance. When we pause to reflect over the present situation as confronts us owing to the prevalence of selfish individuals who seek to fatten themselves from the toils of others we wonder if the examples set by some of our former race leaders were in vain. The perplexity of the condition is becoming more acute owing to the seemingly indifference displayed by the rank and file of our population. We have few who have not capitalized the fruits of their achievement for personal glory. Such is the circumstances and whether or not it can be remedied is dependent upon our contentment to permit ourselves to be the lesser ones. We suggest that those of our leaders that can only see their own selves read the story of the old Roman Cincinnatus and govern themselves accordingly. It will be of much good if taken properly, but some of our leaders are so calloused by greed that the story possibly will not avail much. It may be human nature for some, but the human nature of some of our leaders need a severe shock to awaken the finer qualities, if there are any left. Greed robs men of their finer selves; supplants the desire to do with the feeling of "me" first and if there is anything left "you" can have it. The modern way of living may have something to do with it, but in many respects so-called modernism cannot be accepted at face value. There is much to do, so let's get busy. We can begin with selfish leaders and then put on an educational program to supply the need of real race leaders. Experience is a dear school, 'tis true, but we have had the experience and paid for it by much monkey business by those we placed our confidence in. But it is a thing of the past and house cleaning is now in order. Greed and Selfishness Get Out and Give Fairness a Chance. TO THE CITY TO DIE Migating the Negro migration out of the South City Club of Atlanta learned that: Amos dies the death rate is 127 per 100 births. Negroes died for every 100 births. On one death rate was 134 per 100 births. On another 100 births. In short, the southern faction a reproduction in excess of deaths. A Monary War the Negroes comprised about 100 of America. They are now about one Prof. Walter F. Willoe of Cornell unin the year 2000 the colored folk will constitute of the national population. Statement several years ago that the mass heart of its high level by is so fine. "Investigating the Negro migration out of the South into the North, the City Club of Atlanta learned that: Among Negroes in southern cities the death rate is 127 per 100 births. In northern cities 115 Negroes died for every 100 births. On northern farms the Negro death rate was 134 per 100 births. On southern farms it was 66 per 100 births. In short, the southern farms alone are maintaining a reproduction in excess of deaths. At the close of the Revolutionary War the Negroes comprised about one-fifth of the population of America. They are now about one-tenth of that population. Prof. Walter F. Willcox of Cornell university estimates that in the year 2000 the colored folk will constitute no more than one-twentieth of the national population. Walter Besant made the statement several years ago that the mass of the people of London was kept at its high level by an inflow from British rural sections and small cities. These places were sufficiently fecund to keep London growing. In the case of the American Negro only one place, the southern countryside, can be looked to for keeping the race numerically prosperous. And the drift both South and North is from the farm to the city." At the rate of deaths claimed by this editor the Negro in America will be extinct in about fifteen years. The same story has been told for the past twenty years. Yet we are still here. We offer citizenship to its race population. It is better to die where an opportunity is given to be a man than to be killed without provocation in a section where Negro life is held invaluable. Minnesota Building & Loan Association JOHN F.

CHURCH TO LOSE CONTROL OF WILBERFORCE State Law Will Prevent Church From Dictating Policy of Famous School. In a report submitted to State Auditor Tracey, of Ohio, G. D. Brown and Conn Baker, state examiners, recommended that steps be taken by the State Board of Control to lessen the influence of the African Methodist Episcopal Church over affairs of Wilberforce University. The report points out that the Ohio State Constitution requires that in state-aided schools "no sectarian influence shall be permitted." In spite of this, the examiners charge that "Wilberforce University is controlled by the A. M. E. Church," and that "the university controls the combined normal and industrial department of the school," although under the law these departments should be managed separately. Six of the nine members of the board of this combined department, a bishop, three ministers and two laymen, are from that church, and the executive board of the University itself is composed of five bishops and four clergymen of the A. M. E. Church. The new superintendent of the combined department is authorized to select his own office force, and "the state will have no supervision of the $374,000 allowed for the biennium of 1923-24 for the university if this practice is permitted," declared the report.

C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., will address the annual conference of the National Urban league here on Thursday, October 18. His subject will be: "THE CONTRIBUTION OF NEGRO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO NEGRO HEALTH." It is expected that Mr. Spaulding's address will attract deep interest and wide discussion. He has at his disposal statistics collected by his own company over a period of twenty-five years, as well as an intimate knowledge of what is being done to improve Negro health by all the Negro companies. The public will doubtless be surprised as well as greatly enlightened to learn what the Life Insurance companies of our own race have found out about Negro mortality and what they have and are planning to do to lessen the hold of disease upon our people. Mr. Spaulding, president of the largest Negro Life Insurance Company in the world, and also president of the National Negro Insurance Association, is particularly fitted to discuss this subject. He built the North Carolina Mutual with the aid and counsel of such men as John Merrick, Dr. A. M. Moore, John Avery and a corps of efficient and loyal agents and employees. But Spaulding has done the real work in the perfecting of the organization. He has been office boy, janitor, agent. In fact, he knows the details of every part of the work. He has been a particular student of Negro health conditions. The success of the North Carolina Mutual has largely been due to his knowledge of health conditions among Negroes, which made it possible for him to safe-guard mortality losses in his company. The methods that have been adopted by the North Carolina Mutual and their effect upon mortality results as will be outlined by Mr. Spaulding will prove to be an interesting and worth-while addition to the discussions at the Urban league conference. When Maud Muller, domestic, went to Philadelphia, she found her poetic agrarian pursuits at loss for a field of operation, so, instead of "raking the meadows sweet with hay," she raked the dressers clean of jewelry in the apartment where she was employed. Police are scouring the city, hoping to rake in the missing Maud.

Although defeated in their game with SIKI GIVEN BIG OVATION IN HIS NEW YORK DEBUT Disposition Unlike That Painted by Press Reports Coming From English. (By J. A. Jackson of the Billboard for the Associated Negro Press) New York, Oct. 6.—A full house greeted Battling Siki in his first appearance before a colored audience. The Senegalese French prize fighter, with Mons. DeFremont, his manager, Charles Raymond, and Robert Diamont, a pair of French fighters, appeared at the Lafayette theater. They did a twenty-five minute turn at the close of a very excellent vaudeville bill presented at the Lafayette theater in New York, during the week of Sept. 17. The act differs from the usual run of prize fight acts in that no talk, other than that of the announcer, is indulged. This is probably because that none, save Diamont, are familiar with the English language. After the introduction which prompted a most cordial round of applause, the smaller boys indulge in two rounds of sparring. This is followed by Ski with the two other doing a series of what they call "groundwork athletics." The uniformity with which they do the simple exercises makes nice show stuff of it. Ski then skips the rope, swings Indian clubs and punches the bag, after which he and Becker close the act with a two-round exhibition that is well staged. Press Attack False. The battier discloses none of the characteristics that the American press has attributed to him, nor is he as unpleasant to look upon as has been stated. In fact, he might from manner and demeanor be taken for any recently arrived southern boy of more than average intelligence. Great crowds assembled before the door of the theater to see the Senegalese enter and leave the house, but he made no bid for popular acclaim by any of the many stunts with which he was credited. It was also noticeable that on the first night of the engagement that the many white reporters present were not nearly so interested in the physical possibilities that might be disclosed as to be certain that he was actually there. The attitude, together with the guarded inquiries some of them made, as to the battler's private life, impressed one that the stories were already mentally set up, if not actually written. Shows Much Speed. J. A. Jackson, Billboard staff editor, introduced Siki to his audience, and the simple, yet impressive, manner in which Jackson sketched the kindred ties between all descendants of Africa, and the credit due this war hero together with a gentle reminder of the obstacles that confront the Negro of every vocation, did much to pave the way for the thunderous acclaim with which Siki and his associates were greeted. Siki, who weighs 175 pounds, seems big compared with the French men with him, but compared with the American group of heavyweights he does not appear so formidable, yet in action he disclosed both speed and strength, with an apparent reserve of stamina and courage that marks him of championship class. He and Becker exchanged some smart blows, and he seems to mind not at all the sting some must have administered. There was no sign of flinch at any time. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Grant of Indianapolis, Ind., motored here last week and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Artis, 771 Aurora avenue. the Uptowns a few weeks ago, they will again strive to beat the St. Paul team Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox say their defeat was an accident and promise to tame the victors in their next engagement. Howard U Gets Additional Sum (From the Survey) An appropriation of $500,000 to construct and equip an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard university, the only college in the country (with one exception) where colored physicians and dentists are graduated, will be requested of Congress at its coming session by Sect. Work. Recent investigations show that the colored population of the nation has increased to nearly 12,000,000 and that there is only one colored physician to 3,194 persons, while the white race has a physician to every 553 citizens. The disparity is even greater in the proportion of white and colored dentists. There is one white dentist to every 2,070 white people in the United States, while there is but one colored dentist to every 20,500 colored persons. Other figures reveal the fact that only a very meager number of colored doctors and dentists are completing the course every year at Howard university, the average number of physicians graduating for the past ten years being 20, while the number of dentists averaged 22. Responsibility for the situation is attributed not to the disinclination of colored youths to study medicine and dentistry and adopt them as professions, but to the deplorable limitation of the capacity of colored educational institutions. During the fall term of Howard university there were 165 applicants for admission to its medical school. Out of this number but 50 could be admitted to take the course because of the inadequacy of laboratory space. Official Drive to Open October 15 Official Drive to Open October 15 Thursday evening C.

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 6.—Southern newspapers are taking every opportunity to stem the tide of migration from the South to northern cities and as a notable evidence of the concerted effort of whites to keep the Negroes in the South, the Louisville Courier-Journal publishes the following editorial under the captain of "The Negroes Warned": "The city authorities of Cleveland through the Ohio Superintendent of Employment, have served notice that no more work seekers are wanted in that city. There is already there, they say, a man for every job. "This is directed especially to the southern Negroes, who for months have been pouring into Cleveland, as they have been pouring into other cities of the North. Cleveland has no work for them; does not want them and if they continue to flock here it will be at their peril. And in this respect Cleveland is not alone among the cities which have been attracting the migration of the southern blacks. "It was different a few months ago. There was a scarcity of labor in some of the manufacturing industries; advertising campaigns were conducted in the South; eloquent agents were sent there to lure the Negroes northward. So successful were these efforts that whatever labor markets there may have been across the Ohio have been glutted. "Cleveland sounds a timely warning and the Negroes would do well to heed it. Winter is coming. They had better stay on the sunny side of the river, where they have managed to live heretofore and where at least they know what to expect." Miss Thelma C. Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Williams, left for Chicago and St. Louis, Mo. Sunday evening. Miss Williams will visit friends in the two metropolises, returning to the Twin Cities about October 15.

Dale St. Near University ST. PAUL Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY VERTEX NEWFIELD UNION SHARING STORIES "Every year," said Daddy, "we like to have a talk with those who read our stories. And we like to speak of these stories which we have shared together. This year, too, we have had so many letters—letters telling us such nice things! ```markdown ``` "We've heard of far-away places where our stories have gone and of most up-to-date places, too. In some of these places they have unusual kinds of animals and birds and when we have had a story about their kind they have written to us to tell us what they have seen and noticed themselves. "One little girl from far, far North wrote us about the farm animals up there and of the long cold winters they had and of how they all struggled to keep warm. "And another little girl wrote us from a place where there was never any snow. She said she loved to hear about the Icicle Girls and Madame Snow and Old Man Snow and Prince Sleet and the Blizzard Boys. "She told us that sometimes when the days were very hot she took out all our 'coldest' stories and read them over again! For she told us she kept all our stories in a scrap book, which pleased us. "I'm going to ask the Breeze Brothers to tell that to the Animals and the Birds and the Fairies, for I know they will all be glad to think that they've made such a good friend that she wants to keep their stories. "Then we've heard from a little girl from way out West, who told us such wonderful stories of her home life. Such riding as she must do! And she told us of her pet horse. "Some of our friends have told us they liked to hear about the animals in the zoo—those animals who had come from other countries, and they liked to hear of their ways in the zoo and of what they did before they came to the zoo. "And others of our friends have loved the Fairy stories. "Billie Brownie has many friends. For Billie Brownie, of course, has been granted a special permission by Mother Nature. "He can always understand Mother Nature's children now and they can always understand him. He goes about calling on the flowers and the anigals, the butterflies, the frogs—oh, he has such an enormous calling list. And we've been able to give some of the stories of his travels and of his adventures. "Then there have been letters from many and many a girl and boy who have said their favorites of all were old Grandfather Porky Pig and Sammy Sausage and Miss Ham and Brother Bacon and Pinky Pig, Mrs. Pinky Pig, Mrs. Pinky Pig, Master Pink Pig, Pinky's mother, Sir Percival Pork and Sir Benjamin Bacon. "Oh, those jolly, greedy, happy, grunting, squealing pigs have many friends. And the pigs are much pleased that it is so, for even if they do love their food they age gentle and good-natured and they are so contented with their home pig pen and aren't always wishing for something they haven't got. "Some friends have asked for certain stories—perhaps a story of adventure, perhaps one telling about the trees in the springtime or of the ways of flowers. "And others have liked the stories of cats and of dogs and of horses. "Many have written of clubs they have formed in which they've all promised to understand animals better and to think of them and to be kind to them. T "And they're trying to stop people from wearing feathers in their hats—especially algrettes which are so cruel to wear. Then, too, they've told us of other good things they're trying to do—seeing that horses get water in the summer time, and that horses get "Sir Percival water in the summer time, and that the birds do, too, and putting suet in the trees for the birds in the winter. "And, oh, how we do love these letters and our many friends. And we want to tell every one that if they will write to Mary Graham Bonner, 607 West One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street, New York city, we will hear the letters." "Oh, yea," said Nick and Nancy, "and we hope we get lots of letters this year again. They're such fun! And it seems then as though we shared our stories so really and truly with lots of others!"

Two Governors in The Limelight for Law and Order Staff Correspondence (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Oct. 6.—Gov. Walton of Oklahoma and Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania are in the limelight. They have both shown metal in upholding the majesty of the law against the Klux, or any forms of invisible government. Governor Walton has taken an outstanding position unparalleled in American history. The issue is clear cut, and upon the outcome will be measured the extent to which the invisible influences of a destructive program has thus far fastened its tenacles upon the forces of right. The Oklahoma forces of the Klux are abashed at nothing. The defiance has extended to all branches of flying so thick and fast that it is impossible to forecast what alarming story may be in the next edition of news. Martial law has been extended throughout the state; Gov. Walton has declared that he will jail the legislature if they insist on meeting without call; and the Klux leaders of the legislature have proceeded in defiance of the governor's warning. Colored Citizens Quiet Colored America has been, more or less, quiet observers of the sorry mess into which the state has been, flung. However, practically all of the racial group is entirely in sympathy with the state government. Events are Gov. Walton. The Kluxers are all the madder because of this situation, and their defiance of the governor is spurred on by this knowledge. Any inescapable "uprising" will find Colored America on the side of Gov. Walton, who was at one time mayor of Oklahoma City, and was elected governor as neither a Republican or Democrat, but as a combination of independents, farmer-labor, and socialist inculcated. Indiana is rabid with Kluxers. The bold antics of the mayor of South Bend, like the mayor of Johnstown, Pa., has brought down the wrath of the people upon them. Indiana is honeycombed with the Klux, and likewise Ohio. Mrs. Cora Boyd of San Antonio, Texas, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. S. H. Ingram 890 Rice street, for the past three months, left for her home Friday. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey, ss. in Probate Court. In the Matter of the Guardianship of William C. Kosanke, Ward.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN BEFORE SHE COULD STOP HIM Bride's Husband Thoughtlessly Reveals Hidden Unwashed Dishes to Her Mother-In-Law. I had been married only a week, and my husband was proud of my good housekeeping. As he came home from his work tired at night, I decided not to let him help me with the dishes, and yet I wanted to remain fresh and dainty for him in the evening. I solved the problem in this way. The stove in our kitchen contained two ovens—one large, and my husband thought, useless. However, I was of a different mind regarding it, for after I had washed the pots, pans, silver, and glassware, I rinsed the remaining dishes and surreptitiously shoved them into the large oven—which we never used. The next morning I washed them with the breakfast dishes, and friend husband was none the wiser. My husband's mother was the last word in housewifely neatness, and I had often heard George laud her system in the kitchen. One evening she came bag and baggage to pay us an unexpected visit. The next morning at breakfast, my husband directed her attention to our dalty kitchen—and then before I could stop him opened the large oven door to exhibit its spaciousness—revealing the hidden unwashed evidences of my sloth! The look of housewifely horror on the face of my mother-in-law is never to be forgotten.—Chicago Tribune. LESSENING RISKS TO LIFE Automatic Illumination of Lifeboats When They Are Launched From Ship Is Tested. An invention for lessening risks to life at sea by the automatic illumination of lifeboats when they are launched from a ship's side has just been tested by British board of trade officials. The inventors are two partners in the firm of Messrs. T. Blair & Co. ship's store merchants, in East London. By their device two small electric lamps are switched on by contact established from a float contained in a tube fixed to the sternpost of the life-boat. The float is forced up the tube by water when the boat is launched. Storage batteries capable of giving twenty-four hours' continuous light to the lamps are carried on board. Under present board of trade regulations every ship's lifeboat has to carry an oil lamp and a dozen boxes of matches in a sealed watertight tin. The inventors of the new device claim that it will eliminate much of the risk of lifeboats being run down. A Genius. A crusty banker who had risen to influence from an humble start on a farm had half promised a boyhood friend to give the latter's son a place in his office. The old farmer came in to talk the matter over and was rather timorous about the boy's qualifications, explaining that he was just a country lad who knew how to plow, take care of pigs and milk. He wound up by stating: "The boy knows enough to keep his mouth shut. That's about all I can say." The listener for the first time displayed interest. "That's enough," declared the banker. "That's education enough for any man." Origin of Word "Brandy." The original name of the liquor known as brandy was brandywine, from the fact that (in the countries where it is not prohibited by law) it was, and still is produced by the distillation of wines. The word lost its "wine" part because the English language has the happy faculty of dropping unessential parts of words to save time. "Brandy" traces its origin to the word "brand," as in "brand from the burning," for the simple reason that the product known as "brandy" or "cognac" was produced by the process of burning, which in all the Germanic languages is designated by some form of the word "brand." To the word "brand" as in "brandy," the word "burn" is also related. Allowing Days of Grace In the reign of Henry II the day first mentioned in each term of court was called "essoign day," because the court then took the essoigns or excuses of those who did not appear according to the summons of the writs. But as—by a custom traced by Blackstone to the Germans of the days of Tacitus—three days of grace were allowed every defendant in which to appear, the courts did not sit for the dispatch of business until the fourth day after that time. On the other hand, they continued to sit until the fourth day after the last return. The rule allowing days of grace in the United States was adopted from the English law. Relative Importance It takes an older child to explain to the little fellows the intricacies of school management. "My teacher's sick, will I git to go home?" asked little Joe. "Not on yer life," answered Mike, aged ten. "Then yer principal telephones in an' gits a sustitoot teacher." "Oh-o-o-o. An' if the principal is sick," asked Joe, "does a teacher telephone in an' git a susittoot principal?" "Nah." Mike informed him. "That ain't necessary. The principal ain't get nothin' to do. He jest sits in the office. If he'd git sick, the janitor 'd go in there an' take his place."—Philadelphia Ledger. Patronize Bulletin Advertisers! STAND TORTURE FOR BEAUTY Many Paria Women Think Nothing of Having Their Noses Breken and Reset. Parisiennes are going to such lengths to achieve beauty as quite to put in the shade the painful operation of "dimpling" (making a hole in the chin by means of a drugged needle). Many women think nothing of having their noses broken and reset in a different shape, says a Paris correspondent. Others actually have the eyebrows moved upward or downward, as the fancy dictates. This necessitates a complete removal of the hair and either a false and forced growth in a different position or makeup. One beauty expert, who undertakes to change the form of a woman's lips, has performed many operations. His latest experiment is to make the upper lip turn up, giving it an alluring pout. To do this he stretches a thin hair from the upper lip to the tip of the nose. This effect, naturally, is limited to actresses, who use it on the stage only. Some fashionable women are being laughed at for their insistence on having their cosmetics flavored. One has her lip-rouge tasting of banana. HOW REED ACQUIRED TITLE Why Famous Speaker of House Was Given Name "Czar"—Conduct Called "Russian." Julius Chambers, at one time managing editor of the New York World, tells in his book, "News Hunting on Three Continents," how Thomas B. Reed, one-time speaker of the house of representatives, acquired the title of "Dear." When the house of the Fifty-first congress organized in December, 1889, with the narrow majority of 164 Republicans to 161 Democrats, Reed, of Maine, was elected speaker. He insisted upon a new code of house rules. The Democrats assisted in passing them, probably under the premonition that Reed would embarrass their opponents. And that was exactly what he did. One day the speaker insisted on counting a quorum by including all members present in the chamber, whether or not they answered to their names at roll-call. Several members denounced the arbitrary conduct as undemocratic, even Russian, in character. The next morning in the New York World appeared the words, "Oscar Reed," an inch high across the front page. The words became indelibly engraved upon American political history. Lincoln Was a Whittler. Whittling sticks and telling stories were Abraham Lincoln's resources. Bismarck's wife, when Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata was being played, noticed the first tear in his eye, and felt "He is not so hard as he seems," and "passionate, heroic music" made his recreations,"side by side with hunting in youth, long country drives in old age, conversation and his pipe. The Reform Earl Grey had a passion for dancing, and, as premier in the midst of a political crisis, cried out one sight at 10 Downing street, "What would I not give to dance like Taglioni!" Root Cause of Nearly Every War. During the World war a well-known French publicist was invited to address a large audience of children from the elementary schools of an American city. Walking quickly onto the stage, he commenced speaking in his own tongue, and then smiling at the bewildered children, he said, in perfect English: "You do not understand me, do you? There, my dear children, you have the root cause of this and nearly every other war. Only through a lack of proper understanding of the point of view of other nations are wars possible."—Christian Science Monitor. "Santos" Coffee From Sao Paulo. It is against the law now to label as "Java" coffee that does not come from Java or Sumatra. Real Mocha is grown in Arabia, and after the coffee became well known and very popular some unscrupulous dealers applied this name to coffee from other countries. Coffees frequently take their names from the ports from which they are shipped. The most widely used variety in this country is called "Santos," after a port of Sao Paulo, the great coffee-producing state of Brazil. Volcanoes in United States. While there are no active volcanoes in this country, there are a number of extinct or dormant volcanoes in the West. These include the San Francisco mountains of Arizona, Mt. Taylor in New Mexico, Mt. Shasta in California and the following peaks in the Cascade mountains: Pitt, Mazana, Union, Scott, Three Sisters, Jefferson, Hood, Adams, St. Helens, Rainier and Baker. The Spanish peaks of Colorado are also the remains of ancient volcanoes. Most of these mountains have visible craters on their summits or on their sides. Origin of the Dollar The dollar was introduced into America by the West India trade before the Revolution. The coinage act of the 2nd of April, 1792, legalized it and established it as a unit of American currency. The inconvenience of the English system of money led congress in 1781 to instruct Robert Morris to devise a system of national coinage. His suggestions were not adopted, but those proposed by Jefferson were approved. He proposed the dollar as a unit to be equivalent to one hundred cents. RHODE'S SLPAUL.

Manager Davis has given special attention to the line-up for Whitney-Tutt Will Engage Mr. Shipp To Stage New Act Genius of Production Secured to Put Over Smarter Set This Coming Season. (By J. A. Jackson of the Billboard) New York, Oct. 6.—Jesse Shipp, the producing genius who is responsible for the construction of the series of shows that made Williams and Walker famous, the director who declined the highest salary that at that time had been tendered a stage director in England from the country's wealthiest producing manager rather than desert colored show business, is again in harness preparing to go "On the road." Some years since, Jesse abandoned travel. He could well afford to with his business investments in New York, and the frequency with which he was called upon to either produce of revise big white Broadway shows. Then, too, he was interested in the progress of the Dressing Room club, of which he is president. Few thought he would ever travel again. Whether it was the seductiveness of the Whitney Brothers, the appeal that their new show held for them, the call of the road, or perhaps the sense of loneliness that pervaded his heart since the loss of his son, an energetic young man of whom he was inordinately proud, cannot be told. The fact remains, however, that he has become a partner with Homer Tutt, Salem Tutt Whitney and John T. Gibson, the theatrical financial genius, in the new "Smarter Set" company, which will open October 1, with the show entitled "North Aln't South," in New York, with a line of Klaw and Erlanger bookings that promises a great season. Mr. Shipp is one of the most widely read, most completely educated men in the show business without regard to color, and one of the few of the race that commands the full respect of Broadway, which means the show world.

Additions and betterments to road, terminals, motive power and equipment, which have so greatly increased the freight handling capacity and operating efficiency of the transcontinental system, resulted from the completion of a $30,000,000 improvement program this year, it was emphasized. The program included new double track, automatic block signals, new and larger terminal yards, laying of heavier rail and the purchase of large, new freight and passenger locomotives and new cars. This year, the Great-Northern is prepared to handle a larger traffic than ever before, officials said, car and locomotive supplies being larger and this equipment being in exceptionally good condition, in fact, in better condition than at any time since the beginning of Federal control in 1917. Among the many improvements made through maintenance of way work are the laying of 2,250,000 cross ties, the replacement of 45,000 tons of lighter rail and the placing of 400,000 cubic yards of ballasting. Maintenance of equipment included the rebuilding of 3,600 freight cars, the rebuilding of twenty-five locomotives and rebuilding into all steel cars of thirty diners and ten passenger and baggage cars. Expenditure of large sums was required for the elimination of grade crossings, new bridges and trestles, telegraph and telephone facilities, automatic block signals, additional for the Minneapolis team to get their goat. Everything is all set for the game which is predicted to be one of the best of the season.

Freight equipment purchased included 2,000 box, 1,500 ore and 500 automobile cars. In addition to freight cars rebuilt, extensive repairs were made to several thousand other cars. This $30,000,000 program was carried out in the face of poor earnings, such expenditure being justified only by the needs of patrons in Great Northern territory and by confidence in the ultimate return of prosperity to the fertile fields of the Northwest, officials pointed out. "The Great Northern is prepared adequately for an exceptionally busy season," said Chairman Louis W. Hill of the board of directors. "The territory served by the Great Northern Railway harvests its crops and ships to market its heaviest load in the fall and this peak burden has been in mind as preparations to handle it efficiently have been made." "This year the Great Northern is prepared to handle a larger traffic than ever before. It has purchased nearly 100 large, new locomotives of the most modern type, as well as 4,000 new freight cars. It has built new track and improved old; it is equipped to do the people's work well. A supply of cars is one of the important factors in such preparation. The Great Northern not only owns ample equipment for the crop moving season, but it has these cars on its own lines ready for business and in excellent condition." "Actual records of equipment owned and on line show: Owned by On Great Great Northern Northern Lines automobile and furniture cars) ..... 32,572 34,046 Stock Cars ..... 1,893 1,946 Refrigerator Cars ..... 5,508 9,352 Other Freight Cars ..... 18,926 20,315 "So prepared the Great Northern is confident that it can give adequate service to the Northwest throughout the busiest season of the year. It appreciates the patronage given and asks, in the interests of shipers as much as its interest, that shippers and receivers of freight load cars to capacity, load and unload promptly and avoid diversion of shipments wherever possible, that the capacity of the system be utilized fully and greatest efficiency of service thus be assured."

Many incidents are on record of the gallantry of Negro soldiers and servants also serving as soldiers in the war with Mexico. Colonel Clay, a son of Henry Clay, was accompanied into the thick of the battle of Buena Vista, by his Negro servant. He remained by his side in the fatal charge and saw Clay stricken from his horse. Although surrounded by the murderous Mexicans, he succeeded in carrying the mangled body of his master from the field. 47. Who was the founder of the Normal and Industrial School at Daytona, Florida? The Normal & Industrial School for girls at Daytona, Fla., is one of America's leading schools for Negro girls. Founded in 1905 by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, its present manager and director, it has grown to be an institution with a plant valued at 325,000 and a student body of 350. It is fitting to note that the 18 years of single-handed effort of this woman of indomitable courage has resulted in a monument, not only to Negro womanhood, but American womanhood. Recently the Cookman Institute for men was merged with this fine school, and the combined schools under the able administration of Mrs. Bethune bids fair to become an Institution second to none on this continent. 48. Who is commander-in-chief of the Liberian army? Eleven years ago, a 21-year-old colored boy entered the United States army; served with distinction in the great war, and attained the rank of "Captain" in 1919. This boy went to school, finished his college course and later, at the age of 32, became a "General," rising from "private" to that rank in 11 years. This is the record of General Moody Staten, commander-in-chief of the army of the republic of Liberia. This was not an accident, for at that time, the Liberian government asked Uncle Sam to send a capable officer to head its army; the War Department recommended the then Colonel Staten to Secretary Hughes, who in turn completed negotiations.

Only Northwest Song Bird Is Popular in The Coast Cities Mme. May Black Mason Receives Big Ovation on Tour of Western States. Mme May Black Mason, Minnesota representative to the Third Biennial Convention of the Northwestern Federation of Women Clubs held at Los Angeles, Cal., July 16, 17 and 18, returned to her home Tuesday morning. After the convention Mrs. Mason was the representative of the Northwestern Federation an organization comprising 19 states and 52 memberships at the California State convention at San Diego, July 31, Aug. 1, 2, and 3, and it is due largely to a speech that she made that California joined the Northwestern Federation. Visits Famous Resort After a trip to Tia Juana, Mexico, Mrs. Mason was the guest of Miss Birdella Robinson at Lake Elsinore a summer resort owned by our people. Returning to Los Angeles she was the reciepient of many courtesies extended by club women, fraternal women, musicians and people of minor social circles, card parties, garden parties, beach parties, motor drives, breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, receptions and teas, musicals were tendered to the extent that it was impossible to accept all. Mrs. Perkins, Price, Burt Tucker former Minneapolisitans were generous in their hospitality and send greetings to old friends.

The Uptowns were victorious in the first game of the series so the Minneapolis aggregation have blood in their eye and expect to avenge their former defeat. The teams are anxious to get into line Sunday afternoon and some real action is expected. Both teams have played splendidly the past season and everyone expects to see a strongly contested game. Manager John Davis of the Uptowns is putting great dependence on his youthful pitching ace, Earl Roache and claims to have the Red Sox buffaloed before the game starts. those products which have passed the rigid tests of this non-commercial, non-profit making and public service institution, will be eligible for display at the Exposition. The Exposition will be participated in by many important organizations and will visualize to the public what is meant by an average fire loss of a thousand dollars per minute throughout the year. It will show that at least 800 per cent of this destruction is totally unnecessary, that it constitutes a terrible drain on the resources of the Nation that it costs the life of one person for every 35 minutes in inery was planned—requests came as far as Galveston which requests will be compiled with in the near future. Mrs. Mason believes that one should be of service to his fellow man and that service is best rendered by contact.

Space will not permit to dwell at length on the many features of Crispus Attucks Home. Every one in the Twin Cities should go there and see for themselves. If this were done a greater response would be given to the drives put on for support as the populace would realize what a tremendous work is being accomplished by that agency. The home is partially financed by the Community Chest fund, but much more could be done if every one realized what comforts are being provided by the directors through the capable management of Mr. and Mrs. Carter. Such institutions as Crispus Attucks Home are worthy of unqualified support and this support should be given if the best interest of our aged is to be secured.

Eveyone is urged to contribute their utmost care in the prevention of fires not only through this prevention week but the rest of of the year. Committee of Race Women Make Call On Pres. Coolidge Chief Executive Tells Women He Is Heartily in Accord With Every Statement. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—A committee composed of the following women, Mrs. L. A. Pinkney, Texas; Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, District of Columbia; Mrs. Alye Duurloo, Ohio; Mrs. Marcia Montgomery Cooke, Maryland; Mrs. Ida Plummer Liston, Indiana; Mrs. Eva Harvey Blake, Maryland; Mrs. Monen L. Gray, Illinois; Miss Estelle C. Jackson, New Jersey, and Miss Virginia L. Williams, District of Columbia, representing the Negro National Educational Congress, called at the White House and presented to the President a memorial, calling his attention to the many hardships of the American Negro, and urging him to use his great power to secure for the race every right to which they are entitled under the Federal Constitution. The committee was accompanied by J. Silas Harris, president of the congress, and Henry E. Hagans, a member of the executive committee. Mr. Harris introduced the committee to the President and stated the object of their visit. Mrs. Julia West Hamilton read the following brief address which deeply impressed the President: Message Read. "Mr. President: We come from the Negro National Educational Congress, a civic organization, that represents forty-two states of the Union, with a membership of more than 200,000, which has devoted its quarter century of existence working for the moral, the material and the intellectual advancement of the Negro. The object of our mission today is to call your attention to some conditions that affect the general welfare of our people, and if possible, enlist your sympathy and your support in the great work in which we are engaged. After more than fifty years of freedom, education, wonderful moral and material development, re-inforced by an unparalleled record of patriotism, the Negro finds himself in this, the early morning of the twentieth century, pleading for those rights of citizenship that are granted other law-abiding people of the republic. "We plead for an opportunity to exercise our right of franchise in every state of the Union, and for that political recognition to which the votes of three million loyal women entitle us. "We pray for the upholding of the majesty of the law upon every foot of American soil. "We appeal, through you, to the people, for the suppression of all oath-bound organizations whose aim it is to murder, terrorize and destroy the peace and happiness of any particular group of our citizens.

If not, you are beaten before you start. Come in or write us and we will show you how to earn from $10.00 to $25.00 per week in your spare time, and more if you have extra hours to give to the work.

Mr. President, we take pleasure in submitting this brief statement to you for your most earnest consideration." Coolidge Replies. The President in reply to the address assured the committee that he is in full accord with every statement made therein. He lauded the Negro race for its wonderful achievements, and told the committee that they would have his sympathy and support. After being photographed upon the White House grounds, the committee left, expressing themselves as being highly pleased with their visit. They were gratified, they stated, with the reception given them by the President's Secretary, C. Bascom Slemp, who informed them that "the doors of the White House would always be opened to the dependable Negroes of the Nation," and congratulated the committee upon the splendid presentation of their plea to the President. New Chief Vets' Hospital No.91 (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Oct. 5.—It has been officially announced that Dr. Charles M. Griffith has been made head of Veterans' Hospital No. 91 at Tuskegee, thereby supplanting Dr. Robert M. Stanley, who resigned and was appointed in New Mexico. Dr. Griffith was first assistant to Stanley. Attention has been called by the Civil Service Commission to the fact that colored applicants for the various positions have not materialized as rapidly as was hoped for. It is pointed out that there are many positions, both professional and civil, still unfilled and that colored control will be delayed until qualified people have been secured and shown themselves competent to handle the various duties. The Veterans' Bureau indicates that the chief issue involved is the best possible care of the patients, but that now the road is clear for colored people to assume the various positions, it is up to the group to produce the applicants for places. Colored physicians and civilians are being urged to apply and stand examination.
