G. O. LEAD IN SENATE IS REDUCED High Shools and 'U' Gridders to Clash REPUBLICANS IN VOLUME II, NO. 40 HIGH SCHOOL-"U" ELEVENS MEET ARMISTICE DAY Picked Team of Central, Mechanic Arts, Players Will Clash With University Squad. BOTH TEAMS ROUNDING INTO EXCELLENT FORM Free Admission Given to All for First Scrimmage Between the Two Elevens. Monday morning, November 12, two picked teams composed of high school and alumni players against a team of university men will play an Armistice game at Dunning field, St. Paul. The game will be called at 10 o'clock, so in order to see the full game every one is urged to be there on time. The high school eleven will be composed of both school and alumnies of Mechanic Arts and Central high schools. The pigskin experts of the high school will be in full array against the "U" men and a series of aggressive line play, drop kicks and forward passes are expected to prove effective. Their line-up will be as follows: Left end, Cornelius Johnson; left tackle, George Howard; left guard, Theodore Ruffner; center, Richard Powell, right guard, Clinton Minor; right tackle, Louis White; right end, Scott Walker; quarterback, Raymond Brown, left half, Hector Vassar; right half, Robert Minor, and fullback, Maceo Simmons. Substitutes: Walter Minor, Brutus Cassius, Savannah Fields, Wm. Benjamian. The university eleven say they will give the high schools a taste of what is known in sportsmanship as "deafet." Some of the famous Minnesota varsity plays will be used against their opponents, so a real scrimmage is expected. The line-up for the "U" huskies has not been completed, but the following will be seen in action: Earl Neal, O. Thornton, C. Cochran, Samuel Stephens, Peavy Johnson, Le Vaugh Yates, Eddie Smith, Chenault, Lon Hardway, T. Crosswaite and Hutch Inge. The boys are asking their friends to come out and boost for their favorite. This should be one of the best games of the season and the public should turn out in a large body to encourage the spirit of athletics among the young men. The admission is free and every one is welcome. Get up a bit earlier, if necessary, and see the two teams in action. Keystone Pool Hall Remodeled Keystone Pool Hall Remodeled The recent remodeling of the Keystone Pool and Billiard Parlor, 1313 Washington avenue south, Minneapolis, again proves that women can and frequently do run a business successfully. The pool and billiard parlor is the property of Mrs. M. Mitchell Waldon, who has conducted the affairs of the place for several years. The "Keystone" is one, if not the oldest, race business of its kind in the Mill City. The freshly painted fixtures and repapered walls bring an inviting atmosphere, additional to the one always present. A complete line of cigars, cigarettes and soft drinks are to be had, and those desirous of spending their recreation hours in wholesome pleasure are referred to the "Keystone." Mr. Roscoe Waldon, manager, is perhaps the best known man on the South Side. He is pleasing at all times and possesses a social as well as a business personality that has made him very popular among those who know him. His efforts, with those of the proprietress, are largely responsible for the success of the business. For clean diversion, visit the "Keystone" and you will always want to go back again. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN "The Sifter" will Serve Public say Another step of progress will be inaugurated by the Bulletin next week when we begin a new column to be known as "The Sifter." The purpose of this column is to give an opportunity for every citizen to express themselves on various conditions as they see them. We will give space only to constructive, timely and non-personal contributions and reserve the right to reject articles not consistent with the purpose of the column. Many things of importance will be discussed through this column and every person interested in the welfare of the race may consider themselves privileged to contribute to "The Sifter." In inaugurating the new feature we feel that we are meeting a much needed condition in that many of the important issues can be discussed pro and con. Remember, "The Sifter" starts next week, so send in your idea of some conditions as prevails or what have you to suggest to improve things. All contributions must be in our office by Wednesday noon to be assured of space. Send articles in care of "The Sifter." NU-WAY BAND IS WELL RECEIVED IN THE MILL CITY NU-WAY BAND IS WELL RECEIVED IN THE MILL CITY Musicians on Coast Tour Prove to Be One of Season's Best Attractions. The Twin Cities dance patrons given an unusual treat by the NuWay Jazz Hounds, who appeared at the South Side Auditorium Monday evening. The band was formerly at Dreamland in Kansas City, but are on their way to the coast for the winter season. The first number presented proved conclusively that each member of the band was a musician by ability as well as profession. The "Jazz Hounds" offered a diversion in the form of popular songs by Mr. Clarence Greer, who possesses a splendid voice. Mr. Greer also has a good interpretation of jazz numbers. Every dance was well received and numerous requests were made for special pieces. On Coast Tour. The Nu-Way boys are traveling in their own car, making a series of engagements preparatory to their contract at Venice, Cal. They have been royally received wherever they have played and requests for return engagements have been many. The band proved to be one of the best attractions of its kind ever given in the Mill City. Syncopation ran amuck and every one enjoyed the snap and pep presented by the Kansas City musicians. They will likely play in the Twin Cities on their return from the coast in the spring. DAUGHTER OF DECEASED BRINGS BODY TO ST. PAUL Mr. Robert Howard of Montreal, Canada, a former resident of St. Paul, died suddenly while visiting his daughter, Mrs. Cora Jones, in Waterloo, Iowa. Mrs. Carrie Bockman, another daughter of Mr. Howard, with whom he resided in Canada, went to Waterloo, Iowa, and made the funeral arrangements.

Former St. Paul woman buried here in family cemetary plot Sister of Mrs. Seymore James and Mother of Mrs. Alverta Coram Brought Home. Mrs. Ella Jones Cook, wife of Mr. Curtis Cook of Prescott, Wis., died at her home Tuesday. Mrs. Cook, who was a resident of St. Paul for 14 years, was reared at New Richmond, Ohio, but moved here prior to making her home at Prescott. While a resident of St. Paul she was actively connected with Pilgrim Baptist church. For many years she was a teacher in the primary department of the Sunday school; also secretary of the Ladies' Aid society of that church. After moving to Prescott, there being no Baptist church in that city, she united with St. John's Hon. Members of Local League Honorary memberships in the Business league are being taken with the expected enthusiasm. The call announced by the executive committee last week was readily heard, judging from the many inquiries made. The honorary membership carries with it all privileges of the league during the two nights of the exposition. Many of the new honorary members will become full members in the league in the near future. All business people of the Twin Cities should take advantage of the generous offer of the local organization. There are many things of advantage to be gained. Each week the Bulletin will give names of new honorary members who joined during the week. The following are the recent additions to the honorary list: Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Redd, Minneapolis; Attorney and Mrs. G. P. Hilger, Minneapolis; Attorney Glesner Fowler, Minneapolis; Dr. and Mrs. R. S. Brown, Minneapolis; Dr. and Mrs. Judy, Minneapolis; Mr. and Mrs. Morris Gibbs, Minneapolis; Mr. J. W. Peyton, St. Paul; Mr. John La Costa, St. Paul; Dr. and Mrs. Valdo Turner, Dr. and Mrs. R. Hill, Dr. and Mrs. J. Walton Crump, Attorney and Mrs. Geo. Mamilton, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Gibbs, Minneapolis. Catholic church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Buried Here. Funeral services for the deceased were held at Prescott Thursday and interment was made at Oakland cemetery, St. Paul, the same day. Mrs. Cook had made many friends in both the cities where she had lived. Her pleasing personality and beautiful character were largely responsible for her being so well liked. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, daughter, Mrs. Alverta Phillips Coram, who recently came from White Plain, N. Y., and sister, Mrs. Seymore Moore of this city and a host of loyal friends who will greatly miss her. Proclamation Whereas, on this date, Nov. 8, the seventh annual roll call of the friends of the American National Red Cross is being made; and Whereas, the American National Red Cross is known for the good it does in behalf of suffering humanity and is recognized as the official agency for relief to all mankind; Therefore, I, Arthur E. Nelson, mayor, do urge every citizen of St. Paul to rally to the Red Cross call and respond generally in order that this great agent of mercy may carry on its work of love and kindness. —ARTHUR E. NELSON, Mayor, City of St. Paul. Mr. Luther Thornton of Duluth, Minn., of the U. S. S. ship Paducah, who attended the funeral of Mrs. Bessie Roches and mother, Mrs. Matilda Denham funeral. Mr. Thornton is an old friend of the family. He returned home last week. Mrs. C. H. Walker, 696 Carroll avenue, went to Decatur, Ill., to attend the funeral of her nephew, Mr. Clarence Johnson. On her way home she stopped in Chicago a few days and visited relatives and friends. She returned home Tuesday morning. ATTY. EDWARD MORRIS BEATEN FOR JUDGESHIP Race Candidate for Seat on Superior Court Bench Beaten by Prejudice. SCORES PARTY ALLIES FOR THEIR NON-SUPPORT Over 145,000 Race Citizens Back Loosing Candidate, but Steam Roller Wins. Edward H. Morris, regular Republican candidate for judge of the superior court, received the backing and votes of 145,526 of his fellow citizens for that high position. In any ordinary judicial election this vote would have assured a victory. But Chicago turned out in force and put over a half million ballots in the polls, a circumstance which made the race almost anybody's and beyond the prediction of even the political experts. In the face of the prejudiced and vicious attack made on Mr. Morris by the Chicago Bar association report which raised the race issue in order to carry out the object of its sponsors, the showing of Mr. Morris is gratifying. It means something to a race man when nearly 150,000 citizens of both races testify by their ballots that they believe in a man regardless of his race or color. This ought to prove to voters of color everywhere that it is for their best interests to stay by the old Republican ship. Mr. Morris was put in nomination by the regular Republican party nomination of Cook county. Although he apparently received the backing of his party in substantial fashion, if he had received the full support of the party he would have been elected. It is rumored that our mayor and his right hand man, George Brennan, urged their followers to vote the straight Democratic ticket, forgetting the message they brought to the South Side a while back urging a non-partisan election. Voters are asking where were these gentlemen who accepted the aid and support of Mr. Morris and his friends in the last mayoralty contest? Does it pay to split the ticket when our supposed Democratic friends are so short of memory? Mr. Morris is a good loser. He fought a good, clean fight despite the dastardly tactics of the Bar association. But the memory of the race vote will serve to remind these illustrious leaders of the bar at future elections. We lost this contest. But we are coming back. A day will be sure to come when repentance and explanation will be in order and they will come from the Bar association. Mr. Morris is a brother of Wm. R. Morris, well known Minneapolis attorney and legal advisor. N.A.A.C.P.will Hear Address N.A.A.C.P.will Hear Address St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 7, 1923. Dear Member: Forum of the N. A. A. C.

Auxiliaries in Joint Social Eve On Tuesday evening the Brotherhood of Andrews of St. Phillip's church and the Rectors' Council held a joint social session at the church. The members of the two auxiliaries were well represented in their first of the season's get-together. The honorary guests were Dr. J. Walton Crump, Elmer H. Carter, executive secretary of the Urban league; Attorneys George Hamilton, Jr., and Roscoe Crump. Mr. Fred D. McCracken acted as master of ceremonies for the occasion. Timely talks were given by the honorary guests and by Father Lealatt, rector. It is the plan of the Brotherhood and Council to give several other features, as of Tuesday evening, during the winter months. They worked consistently to help develop St. Phillip's church and many of the notable happenings can be traced directly to their acumen. BANNON STORE IN EFFORT TO SQUARE SELF ON CHARGE Letter Says Management Never Was Against Serving Race Patrons in Cafe. Some few weeks ago the attention of the Bulletin was called to the unfair practices at one of the downtown stores. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. began investigation and with the support given by the Bulletin much was accomplished. The Bulletin always stands for the race and whatever we can do for the advancement of the race we are ever willing to do. The following letter is based on the investigation of the N. A. A. C. P. and written directly to the Bulletin. November 7.1923. Referring to the matter of failure to serve some colored people in the lunch room at Bannon's Department Store, I beg to say that I had a conference with Mr. Hugo Hirshman, one of the proprietors of that store, and he informs me that it has never been the policy of Bannon's to refuse to serve any one, but on the other hand it has always been their policy to serve every one, and they have so instructed their employees in the lunch room. It has happened, however, at times that some of their employees, acting on their own behalf and in violation of instructions, have shown discrimination in the lunch room. Mr. Hirshman also said that since I first took up the matter with him he has had a thorough investigation made and two of the employees in the lunch room have been discharged for violating his instructions and that he is satisfied that his instructions are now so thoroughly understood by all concerned that no further difficulties of that kind will occur, and that I am at liberty to so state the matter. Yours truly, W. T. FRANCIS. WILL TAKE LABORATORY COURSE IN PATHOLOGY Miss Queen K. Johnson, Dr. Turner's office girl, has been given a rare opportunity. The first of its kind to come to our group in this city. The pathologist at St. John's hospital, through the influence of Dr. Turner, has taken her into the laboratory, where she goes every morning and will continue until she is proficient in laboratory work, after which she will be prepared to do work at Dr. Turner's office. Miss Pauline James Lee, founder and president of the National Conservatory of Music at Chicago, Ill. will be presented in a lecture recital by the club women of the state.

SEVEN OF NINE VACANT PLACES ARE NOW FILLED Democrats Are Optimistic Over Seeming Shift of Balance of Power. Washington, Nov. 10.—With the election of Porter H. Dale, as a Republican senator from Vermont assured on the face of unofficial returns from today's election, the Republicans will have a majority of six in the Senate. Mr. Dale succeeds the late Senator Dallingham, also a Republican. In the next Congress the Senate line-up will be 51 Republicans, 43 Democrats and two Farmer-Laborites. During the last session the Republican majority in the Senate was 22. Four Democrats Elected. Seven of the nine vacancies in the House of Representatives were filled today, but regardless of the outcome the Republicans retain a small majority. Prior to today's elections, and exclusive of vacancies, the Republicans held 222 seats in the House, the Democrats 201 and the Socialists, Farmer-Laborites and Independents one each. Four of the seven seats which were in contest today—the eleventh and Sixteenth New York, the Fourth Illinois and the Second North Carolina—were captured by the Democrats. The Republicans won the other three—the Twenty-fourth and Thirty-second, New York and the Second Vermont. In one of the districts, the Second, North Carolina, the Democratic candidate, Judge John H. Kerr, had no opposition. He succeeds the late Claude Kitchin, former minority leader in the House. Republican Fills Dale's Post. Besides retaining their Senate seat in Vermont, the Republicans held the House seat which was in contest in the Second district. Ernest W. Gibson thus will come to Congress to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Dale. The Republicans also retained their seat from the Thirty-second New York district, made vacant by the death of Representative Mott. Unofficial returns gave Thaddeus C. Sweet a large plurality over his Democratic and Socialist opponents. Early returns from New York showed the Democratic candidates for Congress in the lead in the Eleventh and Sixteenth districts, while in the Fourth Illinois Thomas A. Doyle, Democrat, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Representative John W. Rainey's death. Hotel Howell is Being Remodeled Hotel Howell is Being Remodeled Extensive improvements are now in operation at the Hotel Howell. The property was enclosed with a new wire fence last week and a new hot water heating plant will be completely installed by the beginning of next week. The removal of the partitions near the main entrance will convert this space into one large banquet hall with a seating capacity of seventy-five persons. The old floors will be replaced by hardwood. When the remodeling is completed the hotel will be the scene of many select parties, as arrangements can be made to accommodate small or large affairs. The lobby and office will be located on the first floor, making it more handy and accessible for the guests. This will, without doubt, make the Hotel Howell the most beautiful hotel owned by our group in the Northwest. The ministers of all the churches in the city are requested to preach a sermon Sunday on "The Houston Martyra." OWEN HOWELL Publisher AIMEE HALL Managing Editor S.

COLOR AND ABILITY The coming of Henry Ford to the Northwest will, without doubt, mean the employment of many of our group in the various departments of the plant. Over 11,000 race men are employed at the Detroit plant and have thoroughly demonstrated that race labor can be proven one hundred per cent efficient when given an opportunity to work under favorable conditions. The efficiency of these men can be reproduced in the Twin Cities plant if the opportunity is given to race labor, both skilled and unskilled. Race labor has measured arms with other labor whenever opportunity is given. Sometimes under trying circumstances, yet it has stood the test. The men responsible for the race advancement at the Ford plant in Detroit have proven themselves good citizens and not a liability to the community, and it can be logically predicted that those coming to the Northwest will be of the same caliber of manhood. ing of Henry Ford to the Northwest, for the employment of many of our groups of the plant. Over 11,000 race men are plant and have thoroughly demonstrated proven one hundred per cent efficiency to work under favorable conditions.

With the possibility of many race men being employed at the Twin Cities plant comes the fact that some organizations may seek to influence Mr. Ford against the advisability of employing race people in capacities where, usually, men of the other group are employed. We sincerely trust that such will not be the case; rather that every man proving himself competent will have a chance regardless of color or race. The higher ups may seek to cast derogatory influence against race labor on account of there being an influx of undesirables. This is not true of a Ford plant, as every employee, regardless of race or creed, must pass the inspection of a good citizen. Henry Ford is one of the few men of the country who thinks for himself. His ability to forsee the possibilities of the future and measure men from a point of ability is largely responsible for his success. We consider him far too broad to be influenced by any faction whose purpose it is to deride the efficiency of race labor. We have legitimate reason for expecting a good ratio of race representatives when the plant here is completed. We are only desirous of fair play and believe Mr. Ford to be the type of citizen that can be safely called—red blood American. As citizens it should be our aim to bring every possible influence to bear that will cause more of our men to receive the same opportunity here is accorded in Detroit. We expect a certain amount of opposition, but when given an equal chance, race labor has been proven advantageous to its employer. There possibly will not be as many employed here as in Detroit, as the plant will be smaller, but there is every reason to believe that race and color will not stand above ability in at least one Twin Cities plant. 1918 AND 1923. NOVEMBER 11, 1918—That day shall ever be a memorial event in the life of every nation that contended in the great world conflict. From Metropolis to city, to town, to village thence to hamlet, went the glad news that peace would supplant the grimness of war. That sons, who marched away to the beat of the drum, would soon be back. That the whistle of the shell over No Man's Land and the rattle of the machine gun would give way to the rustle of the winds and the calmness of peaceful living. Nations forgot their pride; aristocracy yielded to democracy—the thing men fought and died to make secure; plutocracy walked arm in arm with peasantry, and all mankind alike, rejoiced in the coming of peace. Color, creed, race and religion were forgotten under the spell of day. There was rejoicing everywhere. America's Stars and Stripes unfurled itself to the breeze in every section of the country in honor to its sons and in defense of democracy. Every man who wore the Olive Drab was the highest type of citizen. Blood of all races had spilled itself on foreign soil. Little white crosses marked the home of some; the hospital cot of others; the enemy bullet held no respect for person. The life of the bronze soldier had been exposed to the danger of the battle the same as his fair brother. His wounds were just as painful. He bled and died for the self-same cause—making the world safe for democracy. Then five years passed.

Mob law is still prevalent and men are burned at the stake, hung up by a rope and riddled with bullets, denied the precious privilege of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, trial by jury and free and unrestrained use of the ballot becomes a Mockery. There is no doubt but that the American Negro contributed his quota to the cause of democracy and more because he fought for an objective that he has never known. Yet the nation sings of "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Is it freedom when men are taxed but denied the same rights as others, or bravery when scores of men are necessary to murder one defenseless human?

Such is the case, after so much talk of what will be done on the day of election. There was given an opportunity to show their disapproval for any of the disadvantages for which they had suffered because of unfair treatment. Instead of using his only weapon of defense, the ballot, the Negro evidently failed to vote or voted for the Klan candidate. Another instance occurred in a metropolis boasting a quarter of a million in race population. A race man failed miserably to be elected judge when he should have had fifty thousand voters of his own group supporting him. In this particular city there are some of the most influential race politicians in America. Yes, they are so influential they have adopted the surgery of politics; knifing one another. The regrettable feature of the election results is that the Negro voter failed to function in an advantageous capacity either where the election of a race man was at stake or the preventing of additional Klan power. There seemingly is a lot of "big speeches" before the day of election that are either drowned or hought off. The United States is a Republic, not a pure Democracy or Autocracy. Autocracy is a state wherein absolute unlimited power is in one person. The pure democracy is a state in which the people exercise the powers of sovereignty, directly. A Republic is a state in which the exercise of the sovereign power is lodged in representatives, elected by the people. The American people made the Federal Constitution and this Republic with their votes, whether we agree with the Constitution, criticise it or are ignorant of it, it is still in force. Broadly speaking, it is written around one principle, the security of many's individual rights. While the people are the source of sovereignty, they have conferred the exercise of all powers of government upon the President, the Congress and the Judiciary (their representatives). This form of government was planned by delegates, fifty-two in all, appointed by the people and assembled for the purpose, in the year 1787, Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, James Wilson and George Morris being among them. The Constitution was then adopted by a vote of the people, and it has been in force nearly a century and a third. During this time the individual, being secure in his rights, has progressed material things that make life easier, in discovery and invention, beyond parallel in history. Perhaps made greater progress than in all previous time. We have advanced from the candle to the electric light, from an ox team to a train of cars, from the needle and thimble to the sewing machine, from the village shop to the great manufacturing plant, from the mail carrier on horseback to the night letter, the telephone and the wireless. We have conquered the air and the bottom of the sea. We have gone far in conquering disease. And equal or greater progress has been made in many other directions. In the presence of the evils, the misunderstandings and great unrest of the present hour, when the ship of state is being rocked, the American people should turn to the Constitution and study it as never before, because it has worked well for humanity and if rightly followed will continue to work well. It should be framed and hung in every school, college, church, lodge room, shop, factory and public place in the land. Not only that, but it should be taught in every school, college, church, shop, factory and lodge room in the land, until our people know it as the Revolutionary Fathers knew it. The justice and equity of its principles and plan safeguard the present and the future. It is based on the doctrine expounded by theotics of equity for the slave, as well as for the Master, written into the Roman law of old, into Magna Charta and into the Declaration of Independence. Equity for all, is and will be the governing force of the world. We respectfully dedicate this decalogue to the K. K. K.'s, the Socialists, Communists, I. W. W.'s, the radicals, with crimson vision, and all those who are either ignorant of the provisions and amendments to the Constitution or are indifferent to the sacredness of the document and its enforcement with the hope that a better and safer feeling or rights and duties toward all citizens may ensue, regardless of nationality, creed, color or previous condition of servitude. During the long winter months you will want to know who's who and what's what. The latest press news, local happenings and timely topics are always published in the BULLETIN NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN COOLIDGE NAMED AS FAVORITE AT G. O. P. CAUCUS Suspicions Raised as to Validity of Election Promises by Boss Politicians. (By the Associated Negro Press) Waycross, Ga., Oct. 19.—This progressive Georgia city was very much perturbed during the past few days over the report that a former mayor of the city had addressed the Negro Committee of One Hundred on the proposed One Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Dollar ($125,000) School Bond issue. The Business league, another local organization, had committed itself in favor of the bond issue without any assurance that the Negro would be considered beyond vague promises such as have again and again fallen flat after the election was over and the bond money was in hand to put up school buildings or to pave streets. The colored people are sick of meaningless promises and are somewhat inclined to rebuke those few leaders among them who are ever ready to "Fall to the Bosses" and to counsel the race to acquiesce, give in, surrender and look pleased. What the Negroes have gotten out of former bond issues can literally be carried off on a teaspoon. Fine school houses have been built in both city and county for white children from bonds which Negroes largely helped to carry, and in the early stages of which the Negroes were made astounding promises of a fair consideration. Former Mayor Scott T. Beaton, although a Democrat, has consistently stood for a square deal as between whites and blacks in all civic matters. It was upon the strength of this reputation that he was invited to address the Negro Committee of One Hundred, an organization consisting of one hundred bona fide members, the best representatives of the race in this city. "This morning I was stopped on the street and told that I was coming over here to discourage you from voting for bonds," said Mr. Beaton. "This is not my purpose at all. I am here simply to tell you how things appear to me and to give you my idea of the best method of handling the matter. The city collects $20.00 on a thousand on all property. If the schools got all that was collected from the raise this year there would not be much shortage, but the city gets $14.00 for collecting $6.00 for the schools. If the raise was intended just for the schools, the city got well paid for collecting it." In this vein, the speaker disclosed much of the inner workings of the city fathers in handling school funds. He urged his hearers to qualify to vote and to vote their convictions. After quoting figures to show how little of the amount the colored taxpayers received from the amount they paid in, Mr. Beaton said with emphasis, "That of your money that you do not receive goes to educate white children. That ought not to be. This present bond issue gives you an opportunity to express your will in the matter. I am not telling you how to vote. Study the matter for yourself." Dr. G. P. Washington, a pioneer physician and business man in Waycross, introduced the former mayor; and the response was made by Rev. Chas. B. Pritchett of the Episcopal church. John Henry Adams, chairman of the Committee of One Hundred, presided. CRIBE BULLETIN --- THERE is a right Munsingwear garment for every member of the family.

SOLONS AWAIT TO HEAR MESSAGE FROM COOLIDGE Sign of Party Break Seen When Republican Senator Declines Foreign Post. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—In another month Congress will open. The law making body has had a long rest; the longest in years. President Coolidge has already begun to make copious notes on his first message to Congress. The country, the potential candidates for President and the politicians await the great event. Since coming into office so unexpectedly, the President has been a sphinx; with his message' to Congress the President will become an oracle. It is very evident that President Coolidge keenly realizes the gravity of the situation. Consumate skill has been used by his friends in taking advantage of the President's silence; and the friends have been building presidential fences in the interim. Obviously, prospective candidates have been placed at a decided disadvantage. There is an old saying that it "takes two to make a fuss." The President has seen to it that he is not the second one, up to date. Here, there, and seemingly everywhere, national leaders have been declaring for Coolidge for President. Starting in with the powerful backing of governmental influence, a keen political vision and a generous national group of influential friends, the Coolidge boom for President is off to a good start, while others who wish or desire, even though they may be sawing wood, have to keep their saw muffled. Sign of Break at Hand Well, there is a sign of a break of new entries into the big contest. Some Washington newspaper writers on big dailies have recently sent out dispatches to the effect that the President may have little or no opposition. Whether the wish is the father to the thought, or whether they "see through a glass darkly," it is difficult to say. The Associated Negro Press can inform its reading public with a wide degree of certainty that there will be other than President Coolidge as a Republican candidate for President at the Convention next June, in all likelihood in Chicago again. Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania, while not saying so in so many words, has recently acted by expression and manner as a genuine candidate. Former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois has publicly declined the "crown" of Ambassador to England; from a man of Gov. Lowden's wealth, social standing and innate ambitions, that should be significant. Close friends of the governor have advised that it is very significant. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has been almost as silent as the "Gentleman from Massachusetts," but powerful friends of the Senator have been doing some remarkable gum shoe work, and it looks as though there will be a noise like a real patriot willing to serve the people coming from California soon. This can hardly be called guessing. Henry Ford has rounded into a turn similar to the one he twisted through in Michigan as a candidate for the United States Senate. Latest reports from Michigan tell of a gathering of Fordites there in December, and that they will offer the auto maker to the Democrats or Republicans, and failing in this, a Third Party will be formed. That sounds like Ford is willing; and there is a serious interest here in the outcome. There are bound to be a number of "Favorite sons" offered to the country. If they do not come as "first choice," they are certain to come as second. Senator Watson of Indiana is one of these; Senator Willis and Fess of Ohio are two others; Senator Wadsworth of New York is yet another, and there will possibly be others who have not yet come to the surface. Colored America is interested in these names for what they have meant and what they may mean to the welfare of the group. There has been considerable disappointment in recent year, and the enthusiasm for this, that and the other candidate for office has met with a fine spill of dampness. All candidates, all leaders and the President know this, and they are governing themselves accordingly. In his commanding position, the President will no doubt have something interesting to say in his message to Congress on law enforcement, lynching and other appealing topics, but leaders insist that "action speak louder than words."

Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER OFFICIALLY IN VIRGINIA LEVYNARD UNION MORE ZOO BIRDS When Billie Brownie went again to visit the zoo birds the first one he spoke to was the Jobbler Pelican "Yes, I'm the Jabiru from British Guiana. I'm the largest wading stork, if you call that anything fine. "When I am angry I can stretch the loose skin about my neck. That, perhaps, is the most interesting and unusual thing about me." "Well," said Billie Brownie, "I am graterful to you for telling "I'm the Jabriu." "I am grateful to you for telling me about that. Most creatures do not tell about their tempers." "You wondered, when you came along, what the noise was here," continued the stork. "Well, I was rubbing my beak up and down the iron railing of my yard. It made a fine noise. "Now, the gulls, next door, are making a steady noise, and their sounds are many. "Yes, in the zoo you can see many interesting birds. Don't you admire my gray-and-black coloring? "Yonder you see the great white heron, a very beautiful and dainty creature. "The heron is so cainty, like a tiny crane. I'm told that one comes from Florida. How gracefully that heron does walk!" "Luncheon time!" shouted the gulls, as they rushed about and waved and shook their feathers, half-flying and half-running. "The smell of fish is wonderful. Luncheon time! Yes, the food is coming." Next, Billie Brownie called on the European Flamingo. He saw how the sides of the tongue of this bird had tooth-like parts which helped him to sift all the trash that he brought up from the bottom with his webbed feet when in search of food. "We like small bits of food," explained the European Flamingo. "I'm the largest of all the birds of prey," said the Condor. "I have a hooked beak and a bloodthirsty eye. My family come from the Andes of Ecuador and Peru. I like to live where there is always snow. If it was always winter in the zoo I'd be better pleased, but no one seems to consult me about the kind of weather I like best and I can't go where I'd pick out just the right climate. Where I came from I lived where there was snow and where I was about three miles above the sea. I used to eat any old trash, but when I was very hungry I was apt to attack a young lamb. As you see, I have a dark gray head and black feathers. My body is huge. I'm a terrific creature and I look like a terror, I think!" "You do look rather dreadful," admitted Billie Brownie. "I'm the Chillian Eagle," said the next bird. "I'm what you would call a hawkkie eagle. I like the sea shore and I get plenty of fish. Fish is my favorite kind of food and fish is what I eat all the time. "I do not mean that I am always eating fish, but when I am eating fish is the food, which I eat! "I do hope that is clear. I wouldn't want it said of me that I eat all the time and never stop eating." "I understand," said Billie Brownie. "I'm gray and I have a darker gray cravat, or necktie, as it were. "I also have some white feathers and I look at people in a very curious, questioning, way. "Once there was a lady who came to the zoo, and she watched me and I watched her just as hard. "I looked at her in a very proud manner and I put my head on one side and pretended I was trying to make out what she was. A "You know,' she was saying to a friend, 'He is smaller than the Bald Eagle.' "So I looked at her as though to say, 'Curious-looking creature. I wonder what kind of an animal or bird it can be. "Doubtless it has very queer ways.' "Yes, that was exactly the way I looked at her. Then Billie Brownie went to see the vultures, but they were busy listening to everything that was going on, and they seemed to be listening so attentively that they could pay no attention to anything else at all. He stopped and saw some small bald eagles, and he thought to himself that they looked very much like golden eagles, but the little bald eagles told him they could be told apart by their unfeathered legs, which bit of information Billie Brownie promised to remember. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN WHICH WILL WIN IN FRIDAY NIGHT'S BATTLE. PANAMA JOE GANS JOCK "FLASH" MALONE HARRY WILLS IS EASY VICTOR IN FOURTH ROUND Challenger of Dempsey Smashes Opponent With Right and Left Punches. Newark, N. J., Nov. 10.—Harry Willis, New Orleans heavyweight title contender, technically knocked out Jack Thompson of Boston tonight in the fourth round of a 12-round match at the First Regiment armory. Thompson's seconds threw a towel into the ring as he went down heavily for the second time in the round from a battering attack to the head and body. For the first three rounds and most of the fourth Thompson withstood a terrific pummeling. He showed little effective offense himself, but seemed able to absorb the hardest shocks of Willis' hooks and swings and come back for more. Rises After Nine Count. Wills rushed out of his corner in the fourth, intent upon ending the battle. He soon had Thompson grog- WHICH WILL Tonight (Friday) "Panama Joe Gans," Boston welterweight, and Jock Malone will settle an old feud in the ring at the Auditorium. Gans is expected to give his opponent lots of trouble. In commenting on Gans, George Barton says: "Minneapolis fistic fans placed their stamp of approval upon "Panama Joe Gans" after watching the clever Negro step through eight fast rounds at Jimmie Potts' gymnasium Tuesday afternoon. They rate the holder of the Negro welterweight and middleweight championships as being plenty good enough to carry Jock Malone along at a whirlwind clip in their 10-round skirmish at the St. Paul Auditorium Friday night. Gans experienced difficulty in obtaining sparring partners. The majority of battlers who work out daily at Prof. Potts' studio pleaded sore hands and various other ailments when Gans called for volunteers. Ted Blatt, local bantamweight, gamely consented to take a chance and he boxed three rounds with the Negro. Gans treated the little fellow so gently that Jay Bartley, a 135-pounder, donned the gloves with Gans for three rounds. Fred Fulton sauntered gy with slashing rights and lefts to the head an dribs. A right uppercourt sent the Boston Negro to his knees, and he took a count of nine. He arose only to meet another withering drive and reeled about the ring, but it required a fusilade of carefully timed punches before Wills was able to bring down his man. Referee Henry Lewis had counted three when a towel came hurtling into the ring. It was a rough and tumble encounter most of the way. Wills was guilty of questionable tactics at close quarters in the first and second rounds, while he unmercifully battered Thompson about the body. The latter was inconstant retreat and hung on repeatedly. Makes Feeble Effort. In the third Thompson again took Wills' hardest blows, wagging his head from side to side without raising a glove in defense as his opponent's blows rattled off his chin. Then for a brief session the Boston man rallied and drove Wills back. This offense was shortlived, however, and Wills had his man hanging on at the bell. That was Thompson's last flurry. He was little less than a chopping block for Wills in the final round. More than 12,000 fans witnessed the battle and gave Wills a noisy greeting. WIN IN FRIDAY NIGHT A JOE GANS into the gymnasium after Gans had finished with Bartley and the big fellow obliged "Panama Joe" with two rounds. Gans displayed amazing speed and boxing ability. Of course, he was not extended by Blatt and Bartley, while Fulton went along easily with his smaller opponent, but I can readily assure readers of The Tribune that the Negro is a high-class boxer." On Gans, Ed Shave says: "There are many skeptical ring folk in this town. They are dubious as to the ability of "Panama" Joe Gahs, Negro boxer, to give Jock Malone an argument in their scheduled 10-round bout at the Auditorium Friday evening. I watched the colored lad work out over at Jimmy Potts' gym in Minneapolis yesterday. He has class. There's no mistake as to that. He is due to give Malone a great battle. There is no way of telling what may happen when these two get together, but I look for a hard ten-round bout. Gans is clever, fast, cunning and tough. I figure Malone the heavier, stronger and much the better puncher. Gans' record shows that the col- WHY NOT GIVE CHANCE OF BEING HEAVY CHAMP? There appears to be a concerted effort in the East to discredit Harry Willis. Although the Negro is generally recognized throughout the boxing world as the most dangerous contender for Jack Dempsey's title, nevertheless, in New York, the majority of boxing writers are inclined to spoof at Wills and call him a setup for Dempsey. If, as they claim, Wills would be soft pickings for Dempsey, why not match the pair, have the champion knock him out and thereby end the contentions of Wills' admirers that he can whip Dempsey? Wills tipped over Homer Smith, Clem Johnson and Jack Thompson in his last three starts, but received little praise for his efforts. He is doing everything Tex Richard and the New York sports writers have asked of him. Wills is willing to fight Luis Firpo, Tommy Gibbons and Jack Renault and settle all argument as to who should get the next match with Dempsey. Surely it is not Wills' fault these three boxes will not fight him. Mrs. Wm. Benjamin, 756 Iglehart avenue, who was operated on recently at St. John's hospital, has retruned home and is doing nicely. HT'S BATTLE. JOCK "FLASH" MALONE ored lad has the goods. He has met practically all the leading welters, and in about 100 fights claims to have lost but a mere half dozen decisions, several of these being over opponents he had previously or afterwards defeated." Malone announces through his manager, Tommy Walsh, that he will try to outfight instead of outbox Gans. He figures the best way to beat the clever Negro is to crowd him all the way and smother his skill with furious rushes. When Gans was informed of Malone's plan of battle, he smiled and said: "That Malone boy better have a care when he starts rushing me, else I may smack him on the chin and mess him all up in the resin. I'm not allowing any fighter to run me around the ring and anybody who tries it is going to run afoul of trouble. I'm going to take possession of the center of the ring and I will invite Malone to take it away from me. You can tell Brother Malone for me that I am feeling awfully healthy and will not be very pleasant company Friday night. It will be everybody for himself when the gong sends us on our way." --- Send Us Your Clothes! Suits Dry Cleaned Pressed Repaired VALET Tailoring Co.

We were boys to- gether, and thirty years had gone since we met. The berths were made down and the Runt stopped a while in the smoker to talk old times with me. ‘ No, he hadn't “hit.” He repeated it, but he had kept a line on the Doys, he said, as his face lighted up, and he was proud that many of them had done things in the world of en- deavor. When Skinny Jackson wrote his musical comedy, he laid over in New York and bought a seat in the front row to witness Skinny's tri- umph. And he reviewed the careers of Piggie Jones, Swagger Petworth, Millie Mays and Sallie Watson, who were genuine big-wigs on the race's doings. “I meet them now and then,” he said. “Some of them are glad to see me, and some of them are not; but if they happen to be on my car, I al- ways pick the best linen for their berths and give an extra shine to their shoes. It’s a homely little tribute I love to pay to days departed. Dog- gie Wilson was on here last week go- ing to some conference. He's a big lawyer now out in Cleveland. He tossed me two bits when I brushed him off. I put it in the “has been” fund, where all of such tips find their way. Somehow, I can’t spend the cash of my old friends in the regular way.” “I reckon the facts are against me,” the Runt continued, “I just couldn't hit. I've been to the bat many a time, but I either bunt, foul or strike out. You know I was never smart in school. I had a barbershop down at Ithaca, but the Dagoes open- ed a tonsorial parlor in that town and got most of the students’ trade. And then I started running on the road and have been here ever since—twen- ty-eight years. Time goes on whether you do or not.”” ‘The passengers had gone to bed and after taking several heavy drafts on my pipe I remembered Mary Mas- terson, with whom the “Runt” used to attend parties and two-step in the old days. Mary was brown with beautiful hair and skin like polished bronze, At school she insisted upon writing her name “Marie.” “Runt,” I said, thoughtfully, “What became of Mary?” “Mary Masterson that used to be. Oh, she's at home. We live at Syra- euse, you know. Got a comfortable place out on Onondaga Lake. If it wasn't so late when we get to Syra- euse she'd be down to the train, I felt lke a criminal when I asked her to marry me, but I couldn't let you fellows take Mary like you had taken everything else in my life. She's had faith in me all along and that’s the reason I regret that I have never hit. It’s tough for a girl like Mary to be tied up to a Pullman porter, when she might have had a lve one—a lawyer or a doctor or something. “Came near losing her when Jim, our oldest boy, died. Promising youngster—graduated from Cornell —killed in France Armistice day. His mother put her hopes in Jim and she moped around for a long while when he died. But she’s taken on new life now—finding something to interest her. The next boy, Frank, graduates in law at Harvard in June, and my baby girl, Nellie, goes to Wilberforce this.year. Thought I wanted one of my children to attend a colored school to get broader view of life. “Yes, Mary's well. She is going out to Wilberforce so she can be near the kid and look after her while she fs in school. She said maybe she'd take a whack at that Domestic Science stuff out there, since she'd be doing nothing.” Humph! Jim from Cornell; Frank in Harvard; Nellie at Wilberforce! “I'll miss Mary right smart, too,” the Runt resumed. “She is a great cook, I'll tell you, and when I get home off the road we have some great times, Then, she always collected the rents, Now I'll have to turn this over to a real estate itm.” “What rents?” “Oh, I thought I told you that we've got an apartment house in Syr- acuse. Pretty good place, too. Four street business stores and—ot course, haven't hit—" “Haven't hit!” I couldn't stand any more of Runt's blues. “Cut that “haven't hit’ stuff!

Avice, loving them all, loved the mockers best; they had such infinite variety. Then they sang at night through May and June when other ‘sounds were hushed. Often when there was a late, low moon she crept velvet-footed down through the darkness of the house, on Into the silver garden, where prone on a turf bench she drank in the happy chorus, feeling tnarticulately what was behind it—the melody of love itself come to happy fruition, ‘A lone child, shé had grown up to ‘& restricted maturity, singularly pare of heart, thought and impulse. Ken- wood farm had no intimates, though twice or thrice a yeat Madame Dane, the head of it, gave solemn dinners to the neighbors she most favored. In between, she took Avice with her tn the heavy family carriage, to spend afternoons, and eat lavish suppers by way of return. But there was never any merrymaking over holidays or birthdays—Avice knew not gifts, other than warm garments to the servants and the needier of the farm laborers. She was not sent to school—Madame Dane gave her the smatter of instruc- tion she thought necessary. Avice sup- plemented this by wide discursive reading—there were books a-plenty if no set brary. Thus she had come to sweet-and- twenty, bookwise but woman-untaught. Madame Dane was her antithesis— she knew life-phases, bright or dark, by heart. But she spoke only of sur- face aspects in talk with Avice— whose presence puzzled her almost as much as tt did those who gossiped over {t behind the hand. ‘There was no blood tle—Madame's only child, a son, had died tragically before Avice was born. All the girl knew of herself madame had spoken: “You have had a father and mother, the same as other children. In good time you will learn all about them. Until then, be quiet—hold your tongue, no matter who asks questions.” Avice obeyed literally, until Ellersly came.

Swiftly, deftly if unfriendly she did what she could for the sufferer—so well that grizzled Doctor Weyburn, her Rearest approach to a friend, gave a significant look as he confirmed her verdict, saying hushedly: “I'm won- dering—is this a Judgment or a provi- dence?” Other succor came quickly—by alr- plane huge and swift.

After a brief survey—a casual ex- amination—the plane went back to fetch surgical appliances, and all the latest, costliest of sick-room requl- sites. Besides a gashed forehead, a broken wrist, Ellersly had suffered so near a dislocation of the neck vertebra even a slight Jar might be fatal. Immobile for two months, he had a chance of complete recovery. When the uncle, a granite-faced banker, went to Mme. Dane it was to say, after stating the case: “Of course, we can- not expect you to let us thus impose on you, but we are ready to buy o1 lease your estate at any price you may name.” Madame drew a deep breath and half-smiled, but her tone was courte ous as she answered: “The wing where your nephew les is rather roomy. There is the lng glassed porch beside the four chambers. 1 think 1t should be ample for your party, As to meals, I will have them sent in regularly if you accept.” “Madame! You overwhelm me!” Major Constant began bowing: “You will please set a price commensurate with your generosity—" ‘There madame stopped him with s delicately lifted band. “Finances car be arranged—after everything else," she said. “Meantime, all here is at your service—except myself and my— ward.” Life settled tensely into @ routine ot waiting. For @ fortnight Ellersly Oy ee ee 8 ee eee Patronize Bulletin Advertisers! he heard it, so faint, so fine, so heaven- ly sweet, he did not wonder at his nephew. It was a full day until Frank El Jersly roused again. Then it was not to speak of angels but to beg for food. ‘Then, be sure there was rejoicing in- deed—nature, the great healer, was saving him—now It only remained to wait upon her wholegome processes and a man would have won back to life. y It is tedious lying flat for weeks, your head absolutely rigid, even though you have all manner of dis- tractions. Major Constant had gone home after the first month, but his sister stayed by her boy, ready to hu- mor his slightest whim. And so it came about that she begged Avice to sing for him morning and afternoon, sit- ting on the screened porch so he might not be tempted to stir and look at her. ‘The singing soothed him, strengthened him so, . His mother was for bringing to him famous performers—he cared only for vocal music straight from the throat. But he would not have them. “Nobody else could equal her,” he sald. ‘Tell her I shan't ever dare to look at her when I can look at any- thing. Nothing earthly could possibly compare with her as I see her {n my soul” He was strengthening fast, The surgeon returning said he had made a marvelous recovery, Now by help of a brace he might safely sit up brief whiles—a week more he might even venture to stand, to walk a step oF two—after that, home by help of a motor ambulance—in six months he would be as sound as ever. At the second sitting up Ellersly ‘drove every one away after his chair ‘had been drawn to the open casement. “I'm tired of seeing you, and really T'm more than three months old,” he had sald with a twinkle. But solitude quickly patted. He began to reach tentatively hither and yon. At last he grasped the casement and drew him- ‘self upright. Holding it, he gave a “childish crow of triumph Just as a flaw of wind caught the window and forced It from his grasp. He tottered visibly, tried hard to balance himself, would have fallen but that ‘strong arms soft and round encompassed him, held him Close to a softer breast for a breath’s space, while he trembled through and through. Then as he sank down he looked at the face of his rescuer and ered: “You are more than my dream. I shall never let you go,” and instantly fainted. ‘Two hours later Avice and Mra. El- lersly faced madame asking: “Tell us everything. We must know.” “About my girl, you mean?” madame flung back. “Well, her mother, a Protege I hoped to see famous sing- er, died the unowned wife of a dead ‘husband when Avice was born—" “But her father?” Mrs, Ellersly whis- dered. Madame amiled grimly: “Was Frank Ellersly, your husband's cousin—your son is his godson—and hhelr. He shot himself rather than (marry as he was bidden, on pain of losing his fortune.” “Why did you not come forward?” Mrs. Ellersly asked. “Because I had no proof,” Madame sald iclly. “But I have!” Mra, Ellersly cried. “Just a year back I found the mar riage certificate; but I did not dream ‘of a child—” “Now I suppose you feel you have ‘found a providential deughter,” Ma- ‘dame interrupted. “I do believe she ‘saved your son by her singing; now she will likewise save his fortune, s0 ‘all is well.” ‘WHERE RAT WAS POPULAR Rodent Was Never Molested in Pre clous Metal Mines of Virginia ‘City or Gold Hill, Nev. However unpopular the rat might bé above ground, he was never mo- llested in the precious metal mines of ‘Virginia City or Gold HUll, Nev. ‘The lower levels of these deeps were Ut. erally alive with the long-talled rodents, Their immunity from harm rendered them tame and even saucy, ‘They fared sumptuously on the frag. ments left from the miners’ lunches— for these miners lived well—and even in this respect were of service, acting as scavengers for the removal of scrape of meat and other food which other wise would have caused bad odors te arise, Because of the great heat, with a temperature rising often as high as 140 degrees in the lower levels, the decay: of the smallest thing in those mines could not be endured. Perhaps for a reason more important than any other for the extraordinary tolerance accorded by the miners to the else where despised rodents lay in the fact .that when a great cave in of rocks was about to occur in a mine the rata gave the miners their first warnings, The vantmals became very uneasy and were seen scampering about at unwonted ‘times and In unusual places. ‘The rat ‘always were the first to discover that jthe earth was settling and set out tx search of a place of safety.

First prize for the best essay, se- lected ¢rom the hundreds submitted from the Distriet of Columbia, offered by the Firestone Tire Company, was won by Cortez Peters, Dunbar high school student in the Business De- partment. Peters also won the Un- derwood gold medal. John W. Purcell and H. R. Craw- ford, colored police officers in Wash- ington, are in a eritical condition, and George Ludley, also colored, is dead, as a result of a pistol battle in an alley. Just before his death Ludley denied that he made the shots that brought the officers down. Chauncey I. Filley, last of the Abolitionist Mohicans and an original Republican, died recently in St. Louis at the age of 93. He was the Civil War mayor of the Missouri metrop- olis, an early advocate of emancipa- tion and refused to observe an old Missouri law prohibiting the educa- tion of' Negroes. Joseph’ S. Meyers, State Labor Commissioner of Texas, says that of the 43,811 persons shipped from the State to Northern industries, only 244 were colored. From the same source comes the information that a large portion of the cotton in Texas will be lost if pickers are not obtained. Seems that the two situations founder between Seylla and Charybdis. Some of W. B. D. Stokes’ colored Witnesses, testifying in his divorce trial in New York, became so familiar with the existing verities that they bad no compunetions about not speaking them. Consequently the aged millionaire was forced to take the stand to contradict his own wit- nesses. It might have been better had Stokes carried on a more fre- quent system of rehearsals, From the bitterness with which the case is being fought, it would not be sur- prising if some of the witnesses at- tended a trial of their own at some future date. Joseph Perkins Slaughter, alleged slayer of Policeman John W. Purcell, in Washington, was captured near that city, last week.

Edwards (For the Associated Negro Press) 58—Who was T. McCants Stewart? ‘T. McCants Stewart was born in South Carolina in 1854, He studied law at Princeton University, and was admitted to the Bar of the State of New York. He was the first col- ‘ored member of the Brooklyn, N. ¥., School Board. Because of his ll health he moved with his family to ‘Honolulu, P. 1., where he built up an extensive practice, later accepting an eppointment in Liberia, in which country he became deeply interested, lending all of his powers to its im- provement, and finally becoming As- ‘sociate Justice of its Supreme Court. Mr. Stewart afterward went to Eng- land, where he became the Liberjan Tepresentative, and finally moved to ‘St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, from whence he headed a Commis- sion taking up the cause of the Na- tives with the U. S. Government. On his return voyage he contracted Pleurisy, and passed out not long after his arrival in St. Thomas, in 1921. 59—What happened in Boston, Mass., on the morning of April 19, 1775. On the morning of April 19, 1775, when the British re-tnforeements were preparing to leave Boston for ‘Lexington, a Negro soldier, who had served in the French war, command- ed a small body of West Cambridge “exempts” (unfits) and captured Lord Perey’s supply train with its military escort and the Officers in command. 60—What reply to an objective to the use of the word “African” in re- ferring to the Race was made by a Race Editor in 1843? In 1843, Mr. Loveridge, Agent for Colored Schools of New York, wrote Rev, George Hogarth, founder and Editor of the African Methodist Mag- azine, criticizing the use of the word “African” in his magazine, and in referring to the Race in general. In reply, Rev. Hogarth stated, in part: “We are unable to see the reason- ableness of the remarks. It is true we are not Africans, or natives born upon the soil of Africa, yet, as the descendants of that Race, how can we better manifest that respect due to our fathers who begat us, than by the adoption of the term in our in- stitutions, and inscribing it upon our public places of resort?” Patronize Bulletin Advertisers!

(By the Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10.—Following in the wake of the seven hundred or more inter-racial clubs in the South, and the state federation of white women of the South, which have declared against mob violence and for better treatment for the Negro race, a grand movement is on among the representatives of the southern press to see that black men and women get a squarer deal. As a result of the meeting of a group of, Virginia editors who came together to discuss the work of the southern press in its relation to Negro, a set of resolutions were drawn up and adopted which was calculated to destroy what has hitherto been the slandering and hindering record of white southern newspapers. These resolutions are being sent to editors in all parts of the South and are said to have met with general approval. Among colored people it is generally agreed that it will take some time to determine just how useful they may be. There is hope among them that the white persons who have set their names to the new "code of honor" may be honest enough and strong enough to see that it is maintained despite sundry difficulties that may arise among white persons not so favorably inclined. One of the most significant of these resolutions reads: "The Negroes of the South are largely dependent upon the white press for current news of the day. It would be well if even greater effort was made to publish news of a character which is creditable to the Negro, showing his development as a people along desirable lines. This would stimulate him to try to attain to a higher standard of living." "EMPEROR JONES" NOW SHOWING GAY PAREE (By the Associated Negro Press) Paris, Nov. 10.—Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones" reached Paris today, but found 'French newspaper critics incapable of reconciling American with French views on the Negro problem. Throughout the performance there was only occasional applause and then only when the audience appreciated the difficulties Maurice Bourgeoise, the French actor, had had in translating American cuss words used by O'Neill's imperial Pullman porter into French that would not call out the police reserves. On the evolution of the Emperor's character and his return to the primeval conception of the Negro's place the French hearers seemed stunned, being unable to comprehend the significance of American propaganda.

Brown of the Department of Labor, 478,700 Negroes left the South during the year ending August 31, 1923. Georgia led with 120,000 emigrants. Oklahoma had the smallest number, 1,000. Other states gave up their citizens as follows: Alabama, 90,000; Arkansas, 5,000; Florida, 90,000; Kentucky, 2,500; Louisiana, 15,000; Mississippi, 86,600; North Carolina, 25,000; South Carolina, 25,000; Tennessee, 10,000; Texas, 20,000; Virginia, 100,000. RACE FARMER SUCCEEDS IN BALL WEEVIL FIGHT (By the Associated Negro Press) Arlington, Ga., Nov. 10.—In direct refutation of the claim of the southern white men that most Negroes are leaving the South because they haven't the intelligence as farmers to combat the ravages of the boll weevil, comes Dr. J. H. DeLoach, chief of the research work for the Armour Fertilizer Works, with the statement that a group of Negro tenant farmers under his supervision have been among the few farmers in the South this year, white or black, to make a profit from the growth of cotton. The Negroes on these farms, share-croppers and otherwise, have all piled up large bank accounts to the surprise of the whites. One of the things used against the weevil was calcium arsenate dust, 29 pounds to the acre. DeLoach declares these Negroes have proved that the weevil can be successfully fought. Mr. Samuel Schuck, who has been very ill in the hospital, has been removed to the home of Mrs. M. V. Oden, 472 St. Anthony avenue. His condition remains about the same.

MOORE'S TOWN TALK BAND who will be featured at the HARD TIME DANCE at the SOUTH SIDE AUDITORIUM MONDAY EVE., NOV. 12 Given by MINNEAPOLIS CLEF CLUB THE ORCHESTRA IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF GOOD SNAPPY DANCE MUSIC-NHERE IT IS THE BEST BAND IN THE TWIN CITIES CELEBRATE ARMISTICE WITH US "Intended" Wins Love and Money But Gets In Jail Disappointed Bride-to-be Files Suit to Regain Borrowed Savings. The experience of pretty Miss Helen Stokes of Orange, N. J., in connection with her love affairs with the dashing, handsome John H. Royster, will tend to cause thoughtful young women to hesitate in the matter of handling their "intended" husband's money. According to the testimony adduced in court last Thursday morning, young Royster paid ardent court to Miss Stokes for some time, finally winning her consent to become mistress of his household for the rest of their natural lives. The wedding date was set and the minister engaged. It was to have been an elaborate church wedding and everything. She really had the ring. But a few months before the wedding date and prior to the presentation of the engagement ring, Royster told his intended bride that his funds were "tied" up and that he would appreciate it greatly if his little turtle dove would lend him $300. She did. A few days later she received the engagement ring. From then on he kept on borrowing small sums from time to time. Finally one evening Miss Stokes said to her Romeo, "You should borrow this money in a business-like way; you should give me a note for the money I am lending you." Royster is said to have replied: "Honey, just let me have $100 and I will give you a note, as you say; sure I should give you a note for your money." Miss Stokes only had $70 in cash at that time and she handed it to him, taking his note for that amount. The date for the wedding arrived. Miss Stokes, the minister and her friends filled the church, but the prospective bridegroom was not present. This, of course, humiliated Miss Stokes, and when she located the suave Royster she hailed him in court, where she could exhibit nothing but Royster's note for $70. Miss Stokes confided to a reporter that she was not through with Royster; he will be made to pay for trifling with her affections and taking her money. W. H.
