THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN New Lights Are Placed on Kent The newly installed electric lights at Kent and St. Anthony avenue, also at Kent and Dale streets, are a great help to the safe guarding of public interest as well as private citizens from foot pads. The darkness of this section has hithertofore invited criminal attacks and several hold-ups. The St. Paul Negro Business league interested itself in the menacing effects of the poorly illuminated street and took action to have the defect removed. Mr. S. Ed. Hall, who is a member of the mayor's advisory board, also a member of the Business league, rendered valuable service in behalf of petition of the business men.

"Watch Us Grow" in your service! "Watch Us Grow" in your service! We wish to officially announce the complete purchase of the oldest race journal in the Northwest, The Appeal, by the Northwestern Bulletin. Less than three years ago Mr. Walter H. Chesnutt, deceased, conceived the possibilities of a great race newspaper to represent the Negro in the Northwest. Mr. Chestnutt fortunately had, as his co-worker, Mrs. Aimee Hall, who contributed much toward the growth of the paper and is at present a valued member of the staff. In purchasing The Appeal we have not lost sight of its thirty-nine years of usefulness to the race. In view of that fact the Northwestern Bulletin, in the future, will be The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal. This decision was reached after careful and thoughtful deliberation for the best interest. The name of The Appeal has become commonplace to every older citizen of the Northwest and deserves survivance even under change of ownership. Our success will depend upon the support of those we serve. No change will be made in the policy of paper. Live news will always be printed and the subscriber may be assured an equitable value for their money. We sincerely desire the hearty co-operation and support from the friends of The Appeal as well as those of the Northwestern Bulletin. We pledge our support to the race and dedicate The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal to truth, honesty of purpose, fearlessness where race honor is menaced, and are ever desirous of rendering every service that may be expected from a newspaper maintained for the advancement of the race from a social, economic and political standpoint.

CLUB ROOMS ENDANGERED BY ATTEMPT OF ARSON BUG Incendiary efforts to wreck a building at Third street and Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis, are being investigated today by State Fire Marshal Bert L. Kingsley. Thomas Wilson, member of the Porters' and Waiters' club, which has rooms on the second floor of the building, smelled gas last night and went to the basement to investigate. He reported finding the cap removed from a three-quarter-inch gas pipe and a lighted candle on the floor nearby. In 30 minutes more, Mr. Kingsley said, the gas would have reached the floor and the explosion would have wrecked the building and fired the ruins. As first step in his investigation Mr. Kingsley seized insurance policies held by the Eastern Outfitters Co., clothing store ($9,500); Pagan Bros., barber shop ($2,000), and E. Alevizo, shoe shining parlor. The army store of Louis Masler had no insurance. Students at "U" Get Citations The largest number of race students known in its history are pursuing their studies at the University of Minnesota. With a high rating, this college is considered one of the best in the country. Students are equipped from all parts of the globe. The young man or woman who receives a diploma is truly capable in his or her chosen profession. The first of December five Twin Cities boys took a rigid examination and passed A-1 in drill work. As a result of their proficiency they received the rank of non-commissioned officers in the R. O. T. C. through a personal announcement from Major Conway. Messrs. Walter Minor, Reginald Johnson, Earl Wilkins and John Lawrence of St. Paul and Paul Boswell of Minneapolis are the young men of whom we can be justly proud. Others who have attained the same honor are Dr. Howard Shepherd of Duluth, Minn., Everett Roberts, pharmacet, Chicago, and Attorney Homer Cannon of Minneapolis. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRICE: FIVE CENTS EAL YOUNGEST PAPER IN NORTHWEST BUYS THE OLDEST Northwestern Bulletin Takes Over Oldest Race Journal in the State. N. W. BULLETIN-APPEAL IS NAME OF PUBLICATION All Rights and Good Will of First Race Paper Here Under New Ownership. Wednesday morning marked the passing of one of the oldest race institutions in the Northwest when The Appeal, St. Paul 39-year-old newspaper, was purchased by The Northwestern Bulletin. Attorney W. T. Francis represented The Appeal interest in the transaction, while Mr. O. Howell, publisher of the Northwestern Bulletin, represented the latter. ' The consummation of the purchase means the Northwestern Bulletin, the youngest race paper in the state, becomes exclusive owner of The Appeal, the oldest in the Northwest and one of the oldest in the United States. The Appeal has been edited by Mr. John Q. Adams, Jr., since the fatal accident of his father, John Q. Adams, Sr., fifteen months ago, who was one of the race's best known newspaper men. Mr. Howell Says: In commenting on the purchasing of The Appeal, Mr. O. Howell said: "I am very glad to have had the privilege and honor of securing the oldest journal, of our group, in the Northwest. I feel that the public is entitled to the best of service at all times and in purchasing The Appeal due consideration was given that fact. We aim to have the greatest race medium in this section and with the elimination of competition this may be assured. We can accomplish this by receiving the support of those we serve, which will place us in a position to give better service. It has been our consistent aim to do the best of our knowledge. We realise it is impossible to please every one. We hope we have no enemies on account of any position we have accepted. If we have, I trust they will consider our mistakes as not coming from the heart, as it is our aim to serve the public in the best way we know how. We ask for the support of all the friends of The Appeal as well as our own, and pledge to the public our best efforts for a greater medium." Larger Staff. There will be a slight change in the name of the future issues of the paper. Realizing the worth of The Appeal and the fact that it was so well established by Mr. Adams, Sr., the paper will be known as The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal. Mr. John Q. Adams, Jr., former editor of the Appeal, will remain with the company as he is a thoroughly experienced newspaper man and will be a valuable asset to the paper. Mr. Odell Smith, former business manager, and Mr. Urlin Clark, advertising manager, will also remain with the company. It is hoped that every service expected of a newspaper may be secured with the efficient corps of workers now with The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal. Opr greatest aim is to serve, in most useful capacity, the community of which we are a part. Your Support Desired. The support of every loyal race family or citizen in the great Northwest is solicited. The realization that we cannot function in the desired capacity without this support prompts us to strive for a greater journal than we have ever published. There should be a ten-page paper representing the race in the Twin Cities. If public support is forthcoming such will result in the near future. How soon it will happen is dependent on the value the public places on a real newspaper. In purchasing The Appeal we secured the best printing shop of our group in the Northwest and are now (Continued on page 6) Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

To the most cynical men of the Twin Cities, who think of woman as a domestic servant or something to be petted, pitied and considered a decorative piece of human flesh, the visit of Miss Pauline James Lee, founder and president of the National University of Music, Chicago, Ill., should awaken to the possibilities of the race woman.

Those who do not believe in the ability of the race woman will do well to make a survey of the work accomplished by Miss Lee; how useless space in her building was capitalized and commercialized to the extent that it became as interest-bearing securities. The worth of the National University of Music can be demonstrated more fully as it grows older. The significance of the work that is being accomplished can be better understood when more of its graduates have opportunity to show the training received at the university. The race is greatly indebted to Miss Lee for doing the seemingly impossible. Her contribution to the race is worthy of being supported by every loyal race citizen. Whatever man's opinion is regarding the business and executive ability of the woman, whether he believes her equal to modern commercial life or not there is an example of what a woman can do in the National University of Music.

The recent fight of Panama Joe Gans and Morrie Schlaiffer in Omaha was decided by the referee and press to the effect that Schlaiffer was the victor and Gans the vanquished. The peculiar feature of the fight is that Schlaiffer was declared victor, yet was beaten up so badly that he has not been able to fight since, while Gans has had to substitute on a recent card to replace Schlaiffer. Gans fought Jock Malone at the St. Paul Auditorium a few weeks ago. At the end of the fight Malone looked as if he had been fighting a buzz saw all evening.

It is the consensus of opinion of the majority of sporting editors to disqualify the race fighter when the fight seems to be close. Panama Joe Gans decisively defeated Malone at the Auditorium in St. Paul and from the outcome of his encounter with Schlaiffer, should have been given the decision. Harry Wills is being sidetracked into old age by the present champion for the sole reason that he is a dangerous fighter and the fate of the heavyweight championship would hang in the balance should they meet. Few of the top notch fighters of the race are given a chance to demonstrate their worth in the padded square.

The present day method of judging the ability of a fighter seems to be color first, then, possibly, ring generalship.

While the fight in Omaha was given to Schlaiffer, the fact remains that Gans beat his adversary so badly that he has not been able to fight since, while Panama Joe is still going good.

(New York Age) Thoughtful Americans everywhere recognize the hurtful tendencies of the times, not only in the matter of amusements, to which all of this nation's peoples are dancing along unmindful of the moral consequences, not only in the matter of the nation's discord and danger in finance and industry, but more especially in the nation-wide recognition of the color line. Where, up until a few years ago, discrimination was a thing unheard of, and whose monstrous head was scotched at first sight as unAmerican and dangerous, now throughout the length and breadth of the land there is coming to be recognized two distinct and different peoples in this republic—one white and the other black. More and more the colored people are being driven voluntarily or otherwise into segregated communities and into separate institutions. This in a measure may be temporarily satisfactory to the white people, and in the same measure may promote the material progress of the colored people. At the same time, segregation, viewed from the standpoint of the nation, will be an eating cancer in this republic's vitals. The black man is going to rely, if this tendency is not resisted, more and more upon himself, not only for his pleasure but for his industrial and commercial future. He is going to be more and more prompted in his patriotism by selfish and racial motives; more and more he will be inclined to regard the welfare of the nation in absolute terms of his own interests. Dispel the all-one-body-we spirit in American life, and no longer will black men be willing to lay down their lives in defense of the flag which the nation call its own. Destroy the ladder of equal opportunity, or at least the hope in the black man's breast that he may not reach the top, and not only his own interest in the government, but his own loyalty to his fellow citizens is arrested. The recognition of the oneness of interests of all Americans, and that recognition practised not only by the government, but by the entire American people, alone will suffice to save the republic. France and the Latin countries of Europe and America have solved their color problems by refusing to differentiate and discriminate between the bloods, Nordic, Latin or African, that flow through the veins of their nationals. During the past few months of the Coolidge administration the tide has apparently begun to drift this wise in America. For the sake of America and all its people may the next year see this tide set in this direction. Segregation is the new national slavery. Let America beware! The Past and the Future. (Louisville News) We are standing on the border land between the Old Year and the New. Solemn thoughts fill the hearts of most of us, who are more or less human, as we look back as the year nears its close, to become history. Some who began the year with us have ended it in the immediate presence of God. Changes likewise in our lives, and in the various phases of life have taken place, which now come vividly to our minds. It is natural that we now look both backward and forward. With the approach of 1924 we may be reluctant to make new resolutions, when we face ourselves with the fact that we did not live up to all we made at the beginning of 1923. The mistakes of the passing year are all recalled and we may hesitate to plan other efforts, and to grasp other opportunities that may be ours in the New Year. But let us bear in mind that had we made no resolutions at the beginning of the passing year, and made no efforts at living up to them, ours would be worse than it is today. Few of us are worse off than we were before the beginning of the year, and in the measure of our individual progress there is notice of the growth and advancement of our community and our nation. Despite the handicaps which are thrust across the path of the race, we have moved forward—gained in racial solidarity, racial confidence and racial powers, and steadily onward we march to economic independence and prosperity. Whatever have been our mistakes of 1923, let them be. Those that never made a mistake never did anything. Those who do things will make blunders. Our greatest financiers, and most successful men in other lines have made mistakes, and have failed to live up to resolutions. Washington made mistakes, and lost many battles through them, but he knew how to continue at it, organize and turn defeat into victory. Grant's failures were for a time deplorable. CALL GARFIELD 8480 AND GET OUR PRICES ON ALL PRINTING JOBS and get the SERVICE THE BULLETIN GIVES ITS CUSTOMERS and greivious, but he, too, knew how to turn humiliating defeat into superb victory. We therefore are not to sit down here, and grieve unduly over mistakes and failures of the year 1923. We are not to allow that rueful spirit which so repents over neglected duty of the past, as to unfit us for performance of duty in the future, to come over us. Undue thought of an irreparable past robs us of power to win a successful future. Therefore as we stand upon the threshold of the New Year, 1924, let us renew our resolutions, our aims, our desires, our hopes, our faith, our courage and our determination. Let us hope for a still better understanding between the races, a truer spirit of the Fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man, for a President of the nation that will be President of all the people, with the spirit and the courage to declare himself against forms of oppression and discrimination of any of his citizens, for the strict adherence to the Constitution of the nation by judge, jury and people. Let us go into 1924 inspired by the local and national progress of our group in business, education, and all lines with more faith and interest in our own and the determination to aid materially in the promotion of new institutions, and in the development of new opportunities for Negroes here and everywhere. Our wish for a "Happy New Year" will be in reality, only to the extent of our having learned the lessons taught by the past, and will strive to do better work, and to develop noble characters for the duties of the future. Shoots at Woman Must Serve Time John Thurston, 43, just couldn't keep out of trouble. Wednesday Thurston was before District Judge G. M. Orr and an order made August 26, suspending a five-year sentence to Stillwater, was revoked. Thurston was sentenced to Stillwater when he pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny in connection with the theft of a diamond pin from his employer. For a time Thurston apparently walked the "straight and narrow" path, but December 1 he became embroiled in an argument with Mrs. Betty Morton, 47, his sweetheart, and took a shot at her, but missed his mark. This affair was forgotten by Mrs. Morton, but when Thurston again became ugly December 17 and beat her, she decided it was time to call a halt and also the police and Thurston was arrested.

However, we shall be extremely pleased to have it remain just as it is, especially in view of the fact that there is no telling what trend the spiritual ministrations of Mr. Billy Sunday will cause it to take. Too much religion is a whole lot worse than not enough, and when it is administered with a shovel as Billy does, there is no telling what the reaction will be." Another Says. At the same time the Messenger of Charleston, S. C., raps the Negro ministers of the city for not showing more of the glad hand to the spectacular white evangelist, to-wit: "When we think that next week is the last week of the great Billy Sunday campaign and because of a few of the pastors of this city, the colored population was prevented as a whole from hearing Dr. Billy Sunday, one of the greatest evangelists in the world, we feel ashamed. When we think for the sake of a dollar that salvation was refused on the part of our ministers, we hang our head in shame. Nothing has hurt the colored ministers of Charleston more than for them not to unite and all close their church one Sunday morning, and worship at the Billy Sunday tabernacle. That one service and sermon from Dr. Billy Sunday would have been more to the advantage of each and every individual church than twenty times the amount they would have lost at one service. Their action meant the rejection of the Holy Spirit in closing the door of salvation against the colored population as a race." The president of the Merchants' Association of New York claims that the adoption of the Mellon tax plan will give assurance of prosperity and provide insurance against unemployment. NOTICE!

Novel on Race written by Girl (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Something that certain portions of the Chicago public has long awaited is now announced in the form of a novel, "Velled Aristocrats," written by Miss Gertrude Sanborn, Milwaukee society girl and daughter of a wealthy insurance man. Miss Sanborn came to Chicago some months ago and lived among the colored people. She was invited to parties, teas and other "going-on" of the district and encouraged to get the truthful picture of Negro life she desired. This new book has her Chicago experience as a background for the novel which is said to be wide in its appeal and so audacious in its fairness to the Negro that Miss Sanborn was unable to find a white publisher to accept it. Colored publishers of Washington, D.C., turned the trick. Several of Miss Sanborn's previous works have been "best sellers." DR. KENNEY AIDS MEDICAL SCHOOL IN LIFE POLICY Washington, D. C.—Dr. John A. Kenney, medical director of the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, has just written a letter to President Durkee of Howard University stating: "This letter and enclosure will remind you that a year ago I took out a $500 policy on my life, payable jointly to the Meharry Medical college and the Howard Medical school. This was not at all satisfactory to me, but it was all that I felt that I could do at that time. I am pleased to advise that I have now seen my way clear to raise this to $1000, thus placing $500 with Howard Medical college and $500 with the Meharry Medical school. I agree to keep up the annual premium on this policy and trust that you will accept it as an indication of my interest in the work in which you are engaged and in the future of medical education for our group; also I hope that it will be of some little encouragement to you in the great work that you are doing. "Let me add that I am carrying an editorial in the coming issue of the Journal, appealing to 999 of our 5,000 physicians, dentists and pharmacists to do like wise in order that $1,000,000 may eventually be placed at the service of these two institutions from this source, which would be a big thing for the work, and a small thing for the individual." Challenge to Others If Dr. Kenney's suggestion is taken up by the other 4,999 Colored physicians, dentists and pharmacists both Howard Medical school and Meharry Medical school will be well on the way to that financial independence which should be theirs. The editorial referred to by Dr. Kenney, which appeared in the October-December number of the Journal of the National Medical association, is as follows: "Although we are aware that it is not usually considered good manners or good morals to do thine alms, and advertise the fact to the world, yet, in this special instance we feel justified because we are especially anxious to have 999 other physicians, dentists and pharmacists do likewise." "Much has been written and said with reference to the scarcity of Negro physicians and dentists, and of the uncertainty for the future with reference to an adequate supply of members of these professions for the demands of the Negro Race. We know that fewer men and women of Color are graduating from the professional schools in the North year by year. We have reason to believe that our students are not as welcome in many of these institutions as they formerly were. FORMER SLAVE DIES, AGED 108; SON LIVES IN ST.

He and his wife, who still lives in the South, were born into slavery in Georgia. Democratic newspapers and erators are no longer complaining about President Coolidge being a "silent man." What Not Column! How Much Do You KNOW By Robert P. Edwards (For the Associated Negro Press) 82. When were the first slaves landed in America? The first cargo of Negro slaves was landed at San Domingo on the Island of Haiti in the year 1565. These were at once put to cultivating the plantations. Slaves were brought by the Spaniards to Florida in 1565, but the first slaves brought to the colonies were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, by a Dutch trading vessel, who exchanged twenty Negroes for food and supplies. 83. What reference did President Thomas Jefferson make to slave trade in his message of 1806? In his message to Congress at the commencement of the session in 1806, President Jefferson asked of that body the wisdom of abolishing African slave trade. The message was referred to a select committee, which reported a bill to prohibit the importation of slaves into the United States. This bill, of course, was fought by the Southern representatives. A long and fiery debate ensued and the act was finally passed after several amendments, imposing a fine on persons engaged in the slave trade were added. 84. When did the emancipation of slaves occur? The emancipation of slaves in all the French colonies took place in 1794 and in the English colonies in 1838 and 1839. Sweden emancipated her slaves in 1846, Denmark in 1848. Holland delivered her American colonies from slavery in 1862. The African slave trade was closed in this country on the first day of January, 1862, followed by the Emancipation Proclamation January 1, 1863. NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS 85. Who captured the British General Prescott, in the war of the Revolution? 86. Who was Major Jefferey? 87. What did Col. Alexander Hamilton say of the colored soldiers in the war of the Revolution? Boy's prize poem highly praised (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Professor Robert T. Kerlin, dismissed some months ago from the chair of English, in the Virginia Military Institute, because of a letter he had written the Governor of Arkansas, recommending clemency for the Elaine rioters, and who three years ago wrote a special study about Negro poets and writers, has just announced his pleasure in reading the prize-winning poem of Countee P. Cullen, the 20-year-old Negro college boy of New York, who just won second prize from a group of 700 contestants in a national poetry contest for college students. Prof. Kerlin says: "I have just read with the greatest enthusiasm Countee J. Cullen's prize poem, "The Ballad of the Brown Girl." It is a truly marvelous poem. It should give him fame. Nothing equal to it in tragic power and ballad artistry has been done by any other American poet, living or dead. To discover its rank we must go to the classic masters in England-Scott, Tennyson, Morris, Rossetti. I congratulate its twenty-year-old author and the Negro people of America." SPORTING NEWS (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—Wrestling Reggie Siki won his first Western match when he threw Andre Anderson at the Coliseum here the other night.

AS WRITER SAW SYRACUSE That Theeeritus, Famous Greek Pest, Was True te Life la Knewn by ‘These ef City. ‘The long line of writers—Theoertt- tus, Vingil, Boccaccio, Sousazaro, Po- Usano, Tasso, Mantuan, Spenser, Sid ney, Drayton, Jonson, Milton and ‘Keats—have played upon an oaten pipe that never will be silent. There ls no mortality in the true pastoral, for in it the soul of man has become ‘one with nature. The trouble is that too many people have studied the Pastoral for literary rather than for poetic pleaure and have, somehow turned Arcadia into Academe, writes Martha Hale Shackford. There {s something tronically suggestive in the fact that the Fountain of Arethusa in Syracte is now surrounded by 1 grewth of papyrus, symbolic of the way im which the merely bookish has encireled the natural. If there are no new pasteral poems the old pnes live on, giving us again the beauty of the golden world where narcissus and violet blossom, where time delays, and where youth and love endure with supreme joyousness. ‘Theocritus remains the first and the last in pastoral song.

In the first three quarters of the game their de- fenso hold Union sepreless. By a series of line plunges they managed to get the ball within scoring dis- tance, where Coleman carried it over for a touchdown. They tried for the extra point put failed.

Before the game was over Hampton had their chance to.win their game but the timer’s whistle stopped the game as Gunn was about to kick. ‘The Union team, which boasts of many stars, will be a strong conten- der for next season's honors.

ADEQUATE HOMES ARE ASSURED T0 ALL DELEGATES Twenty-year-old Organization to Welcome Representatives of G. O. P. Session. (By Me Associated Negro Press) Cleveland, Ohio.—Cleveland is flut- tering with excitement and anticipa- tion, The biggest event in the his- tory of the city, the Republican Na- tional convention, will be here in June, and the people are determined that it will be an occasion long to be remembered. So far as the spectacular side is concerned, the Big Show in Public Hall, it is very certain that Calvin Coolidge, Hiram Johnson et el will furnish all the entertainment that one might expect from a national con- vention, Indications strongly point that way. But what Cleveland is deeply concerned about is the hos- pitality and general comfort that the people will receive. Many of Race. Cleveland is @ large and beautiful city, with more than @ million popu- lation. ‘There are 40,000 eolored peo- plo living here. It was not always thus.

With the convention in Chicago so many times, nearly ev- ery one in the country who attends conventions has a “stopping place” in the Windy City. Not so in Cleveland. There are scores and scores of prom- inent people who have never stopped off in this fine city. So the populace has @ special task—but a pleasant one. All Hands at Work. From a careful survey of the pos- sibilities, all organizations, factions and groups will join hands in enter- tainment. There is a local committee of 100 handling the general enter- tainment, with which our group is co-operating.

It {s non-political, and was organized twenty years ago to “advance the varied interests of the colored people of Cleveland.” Cleveland is one of the clties where the big downtown hotels have been kept open for vis- itors, and this will be the rule during the convention. ‘There are a number of racial ho- tels in Cleveland, among the largest being the Hotel Lincotn, Central and Geraldine, and recently the Majestic was opened. All homes will be open- ed for visitors, and there will be ar- ranged by committees a clearing house for rooms, automobiles and other aecessities.

Washington.—Twenty-five _police- men raided an alleged dope joint ear- ly New Year's morning and arrested 50 men and women, said to be school teachers and college students. The names of those taken are closely guarded by the police and if disclosed would be the biggest scandal that has hit this city since the famous Moons case four years ago. The raid took place in the most fashionable section of the city. It took three wagons to convey the rev- elers, clad in pajamas, to the station. It is believed that the place was a love nest and it has been watched for some time. Large quantities of liquor and dope are said to have been discovered and taken. Aecording to the police there were many spooning nooks in. the place. Two scantily dressed girls in Orien- tal costumes supposed ¢o be sernants were also taken, A woman 35 years old, known as Bobbie, gave the name of Mrs. Rob- erte Lockett. She was held charged with conducting a disorderly house and illegal possession of dope. Sev- eral couples were scantily clad. Po- lice hope to tdentify them by wearing apparel left behind.

Hunter, the sensational young banker, whose es- capades in high finance left empty pockets for hundreds of depositors in the R. W. Hunter banks of Chicago several years ago, figures prominently in the collapse of the National Sav- ings Bank, 6117 Scotten avenue, here, which closed:its doors last week. ‘The bank was owned and operated by Hunter, = has disappeared, but who was known to last reside at 6554 Firwood avenue. From an examination of the bank's affairs it appears that Hunter operat- ed the institution chiefly as a clearing house for real estate deals, to which he devoted most of his time. ‘The collapse of the National Sav- ings Bank also closed the doors of 2 branch of the same institution tn Jackson, Mich. The Detroit bank, which was opened by Hunter in June, boasted but few depositors on account of the reputation he is alleged to have brought with him from other cities. Deposits in the Jackson, Mich., bank Were heavy, however, it is eaid. There were between two and three hundred depositors in Hunter's Detroit inst!- tution, most of them being small ac- counts, ranging from one to one hun- @red dollars. ‘The cash dalance left in the De- trolt bank was found by investigators to be $250, while only $34 in cash was found in the vaults of the Jack- son branch, $3,000 was found miss- ing from the Jackson bank. Hunter {s supposed to have taken this sum with him when he disappeared.

Before the Jew could reply, an an- gular looking gentleman, who had been silently enjoying the contents of a big meerschaum, intervened: “Serv- ed him darned right,” said the owner of the meerschaum. “Those ginks that want to run the government sin- gle-handedly must be shown where to get of—and quick, too. There's a lot of ’em over here in America, and no kind of punishment’s too severe for ‘em,’™ he continued, with an em- phatic gesture. “Did he have a fair trial?” inquir- ed the Jew, midly, as he turned to the professor. “Oh, yea; and his lawyer exhaust ed every effort to see that he was justly dealt with. Nevertheless, he went to the guillotine with curses on his lips, and with no visible sign of repentence.” “He ought not to have had a trial —anarebists aren't entitled to any,” sputtered the meerschaum’s owner, in an ascending tone. “But you believe.in law and order, don't you?” the Wandering Jew asked, as he folded up his newspaper ‘and settled down to the discussion, “Sure, I believe in the law. I was in the State Legislature myself for over two years. But when you're dealing with anarchists, the law doesn’t count a pleayune. They don't recognize the law, and the law ought not to recognize them,” responded the angular one, as he-briskly struck a mateh. “So you were a lawmaker?” con- tinued the Wandering Jew, who ‘seemed to have warmed up to the de- bate. “And were you active in any particular legislation during your term?” he asked. “I sure was,” responded the angular one, curtly. “But if I ever voted for any measure which gives any considerations to anarchists, then I.want to apologize to the people of my state,” he concluded with a look of pride. “im, your opinion, what is an an- jatohist, anyhow?” insistently inquir- ed the Jew. “Any one who wages war against the law of both God and man,” promptly responded the owner of the meerschaum, in a tone which indi- cated great self-satistaction. * “I quite agree with you on that,” ‘answered the Jew, with @ smile. “That's just why I wanted to feel that our minds were together, before say- ing what I have in mind. I'm gorry you did not proclaim that belief tn your state legislature. I'm sorrier still that you are not where legisla- tion on that definition is sadly needed right now. Last year the National Congress tried, in an appropriate way, to get at some anarchists in this [country—right in the state where you doubtlessly reside. They tried to make a law to prevent some anar- ehists in this country from lynching American citizens—trom executing them without trial and without any Tecourse to lew and order——.” “That's quite different,” interject- ed-the meerschaum’s owner. “If you only knew ——.” ‘ “Different! Where's the differ- ence?” retorted the Wandering Jew. “You go right on down home and make up a working list of those an- archists, and I'll help you prosecute them: in @ legal way. And if you don’t feel like doing that, you help me to legislate against them, and you'll be able to sleep better,” snap- ‘ped the Jew. Just then a long, loud laugh was heard outside the door of the smoker. “Who's that?” ssked the owner of the meerschaum, in a suspecting tone. “Oh! That's the colored porter,” replied the professor, ashe throw away his cigarette and departed for his berth. iS ORR ROR eee Te “Your Health Firat’” C. P.
