JESSE FOOT Candidate for Re-election as COMPTROLLER I am respectfully asking the public for its support to relect me to the important office of City Comptroller for the following reasons: 1. My Cash Basis plan which I worked and fought for practically single-handed consistently and persistently for five years and which was finally completed and put in operation, will save the taxpayers millions of dollars. This, I feel, should assure me the support of every taur-minded citizen. 2. I put into operation a plan whereby the City discounts its bills; again saving thousands of dollars. 3. I have not permitted the expenditure of public funds, or raising of additional funds, except in accordance with the strict interpretation of the Charter, again saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. 4. I am responsible for putting into effect the time check system, which makes it possible for every city employee to receive his wages or a part of them at any time, thereby removing the necessity for him to assign any of his wages to loan sharks. 5. As Civil Service Commissioner I have stood firm for the fair and A branch of the Municipal Court impartial conduct of our civil service system. While there are many more things that have been done under my direction, the Comptroller, and from which the city is compelled, and from benefits, I feel that the above mentioned facts should be sufficient to insure my re-election.

Bible Thought for Today HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST:— Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowiness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.—Philipians 2:5, 3. GET BUSY WITH THE U. S. SENA TORS. The Dyer anti-lynching bill has been passed by the house of representatives and is now in the senate in the hands of the judiciary committee. If the judiciary committee reports the Dyer bill, its enactment by the senate is almost certain. The senators on that committee are: Knute Nelson, Minnesota; William P. Dillingham, Vermont; Frank E. Brandegee, Connecticut; William E. Bradegee, Connecticut; William E. Borah, Idaho; Albert E. Cummins, Iowa; LeBaron B. Colt, Rhode Island; Thomas Sterling, South Dakota; Geo W. Norris, Nebraska; Richard P. Ernst, Kentucky; Samuel M. Shortridge, California; Charles A. Culberson, Texas; Lee S. Overman, North Carolina; James A. Reed, Missouri; Henry F. Ashurst, Arizona; John K. Shields, Tennessee; Thomas J. Walsh, Montana. Now is the time to write or telegraph the members of the judiciary committee and ask them to support the bill. It is especially important that the people of Minnesota flood Senator Nelson with letters and telegraphs asking him to vote for a favorable report on the bill. The outlook is favorable but work must be done to make assurance doubly sure. IT MUST NOT BE The proposition to establish a playground for COLORED children in St. Paul is un-American and THE APPEAL is opposed to it. One of the strange phases of jim-crowism in these days in the fact that nine-tenths of the plans to degrade the colored people into a pariah class are conceived in the brains of people who call themselves Christians. In the majority of cases when the colored man is kicked down it is done "for his benefit" and "in the name of the Lord." No doubt some of the promoters believe that they are doing a great thing for the colored people of Saint Paul but they are mistaken. Paul, to the white people as well as the colored people, than the attempt to segregate one group of citizens. It is a thing which will serve to inflame the fires of race prejudice. It is inconceivable that any colored people could so belittle themselves as to be parties to so infamous a scheme and it is 'infamous whether it is so intended or not. We are glad to know that the superintendent of playgrounds opposes the plan. The decent self-respecting people of Saint Paul must fight the nefarious scheme to a finish. If you are a good American you should oppose it. IT MUST NOT BE! CLOSE THE DOORS When the Senate concurs—as it should do—in the bill which has just passed the House, the restricted immigration law will be extended one year from June 30 next. It is the intention of the House Immigration committee to draft a permanent enactment, but the subject is so intricate that it cannot be disposed of hurriedly. The extra year will be none too long. Until the war upset all Europe the transatlantic liners were bringing as many as a million aliens into the country in a year. The situation was becoming serious. Hostilities broke up the traffic, but after the armistice a perfect flood of emigrants was headed this way. Restriction was a positive necessity. The 3 per cent proposition was adopted as a temporary measure. The basis for calculation was the number of nationals of a given country resident in the United States according to the 1910 census. The idea was to receive an additional 3 per cent of the respective totals annually This arrangement met many difficulties at the start. Ellis Island was crowded with aliens who had overrun the quota. These troubles have been largely overcome. During the eight months of operation under the law immigrants have numbered 192,000. The limit for twelve months is 355,000, and it is not likely to be reached. So much the better. The United States needs a long rest from its efforts to assimilate newcomers, and no matter what form permanent legislation may take, we agree with Chairman Johnson, of the immigration committee, that there will be no desire to return to the virtually unlimited entrance of foreign labor. This melting-pot business is all right as a theory, but the country has got to look out for itself and its doors must be closed to strange men with transe and violent doctrines. So says the Philadelphia Inquirer and so say we all. EMMET'S EPITAPH Having been convicted by a Dublin court of taking part in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, Robert Emmet, the greatest Irish patriot, was duly executed by the British authorities. He closed his last speech with these words: "I have but one request to make on my departure from this world. Let no man write my epiphath; for, as no man who knows my motives, dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice asperse them. Let my tomb remain unscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character. When my country shall take her place among the nations of the earth, then, and not until then, let my epiphath be written." More than one hundred years have passed, during which time thousands of brave Irishmen have laid down their lives to free their beloved country from the horrors of British oppression. The Irish have fought Britain to the death, Britain was whipped, and just the other day the birth of the new Irish Free State was celebrated. No doubt Emmett's martyrdom did much to keep burning the fires of nationalism which have at last made Ireland a nation. To Robert Emmett more than to any other one man may the successful ending of the fight for freedom be credited. Now let his epitaph be written. EGYPT IS FREE There is great rejoicing in Egypt. Sultan Ahmed Fuad Pasha has announced with due pomp and ceremony that Egypt has become an independent and sovereign state and that he, the Sultan, has assumed the title of the king of Egypt. The British High Commissioner, Field Marshal Lord Allenby, called at the Royal palace after the ceremonies at Cairo and congratulated King Fuad, whom he addressed as "Your Majesty." How has this been accomplished? By cringing and saying "We don't want this and we don't want that and we don't want the other"? No. The Egyptians defied Great Britain and refused to accept anything except absolute freedom. They fought for it, they died for it and they got it! The U. S. Senate is being told of the horrible atrocities committed by Gen. Gregorio Semenoff, ataman of the Russian Cossack. It is a terrible recital and the grave and reverend senators are horrified, as the fearful things were done 6,000 miles away by people who are considered not more than half civilized. Worse atrocities were committed (according to the testimony before the Senate investigating committee), by U. S. marines in Haiti, and the details scarcely caused a ripple of excitement. Haiti is so much nearer, it has been gobbled by the U. S. A. and the marines are "our boys." It makes a big difference where or is placed. the birth of William Monroe Trotter, was a great success and that a large purse was collected. Among the contributors were: Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. C.; Senator Lodge and other prominent citizens. Trotter is a great man because he has not compromised on the vital and fundamental questions of American citizenship and that's what nine-tenths of the lickspitle leaders have done. Long live Trotter. The press cables tell us that one Louis Borno, a conservative and a member of the present cabinet, has been ELECTED PRESIDENT OF HAITI BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. The intelligent people of Haiti do not wish the present lickspitle crowd of Haitians to continue in alleged power so there must be something wrong with the election. Perhaps the military rules from the U. S. A. could a tale unfold. The papers tell us that the President is very much interested in and is working hard for the passage of the ship subsidy bill which will cost the American people many millions of dollars and if beneficial will only produce $$$ $$$ $$. The same President seems to be very indifferent to the passage of the Dyed anti-lynching bill which is necessary to safeguard civilization in the U. S. The Daughters of 1912 are very indignant because the histories used in the schools teach that the founders of the nation were rag-time, smugglers and a disgruntled lot generally. Many of the first families of the South are direct descendants of criminals and indented servants sent over from England and there is also a large percentage of African blood. Minnesota will give back all captured Confederate battle flags held by organizations and individuals in the state. The commander says the action is "to prove friendship to Dixie." And as the friendship for Dixie increases, the hatred of the colored man increases. Think it over. "Jazz" music has been introduced into hospitals at Washington, D. C. During operations lively strains of canned music are "fed" to patients. It is thought to have two effects: one to lull the sub-concious mind of the patient and the other to accelerate the actions of the attendants. William Jennings Bryan's recent attack on the theory of evolution causes the Reverend George Craig Stewart to cry out: "Mr. Bryan is a conspicuous example of the man who thinks he is thinking, but who is only rearranging his prejudices. Few men really think. The U. S. Senate has passed by viva voce the House resolution extending for two years the present law restricting immigration to the United States to three per cent of the number of foreign nationals in this country. An anti-Christian movement is spreading rapidly in China. The Chinese are unable to grasp the idea of a religion which teaches the brotherhood of man yet permits the white races to trample the colored races under foot. Booth Tarkington, the great writer, says that automobiles, telephones, and now the radio are conspiring to pull the average citizen from his fireside and his bookshelves and making the United States a non-reading nation. U. S. VETERANS' BUREAU DISTRICT NO. 10 Transfer from Washington to the District Office of the Veterans' Bureau in Minneapolis of control over nine thousand cases of service men receiving training or compensation, was announced by C. D. Hibbard, District Manager. Completion of the case transfer from Washington is characterized as the biggest single step yet taken toward carrying out the provisions of the Sweet bill, which declared that the functions centered in Washington are decentralized to the District Offices with full power to act on them. The nine thousand over which complete control was transferred to Minneapolis were received about ten days ago and the work of consolidating and putting the last of them into shape for full functioning in Minneapolis has been finished. Another shipment of twenty thousand and disallowed claims soon will be forwarded to the Minneapolis Office, which, although temporarily inactive can be reopened by the men at any time upon his representing that cause of compensation or training has arisen since the case was disallowed. The changes effected make possible: Settlement without compensation without reference to Washington, and immediate payment of amount due. Increasing or decreasing of compensation paid because the service man's condition is found to have been changed. The number of nine days on cases sent to Washington, and multiples of that number in case papers have to be sent back. Immediate transfer from compensation to training or vice versa, and discharge from either by the Minnesota State Bank or by the State now reached is that contemplated by the Sweet Bill. Since the passage of the Bill, new applications from former service men resident in the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana have been handled direct from Minnesota, but the accumulated old cases will henceforth be adjudicated in the District office. MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING RESOLVE Boston, Mass., April 25, 1922—Yesterday the Massachusetts House of representatives passed the antilynching resolution petitioned for by the National League of Colored M.A. N. Shaw, member, which all on the United States Senate and its judiciary committee to enact federal legislation against lynching. A delegation of the league, headed by Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter, sat in the House of Representatives Meyers and Kidder after the vote. The Boston branch of the N. A. C. A. P. petitioned each member of the House for the resolution, evincing a spirit of co-operation. The passage is of special significance because it was the Republican leader of the Senate. The presentation of a purse of gold to Wm. Monroe Trottier in recognition of his services to the cause of rights for his race at half century mark was a notable event. Over the years, he been gathered by the committee from his guests. Invitation was by Rev. Rely Ferguson, piano solo by Mrs. Frederick Smith, presiding officer's remarks by Rev. B. W. Swain, chairman of committee who declared the Trotter-Washington riot of 1403 in that church opened in 1803. The event was good by notifying the white world the good did not all believe in submission. Remarks were made by Cyril F. Butler, Esq., and by Clifton B. Carberry, managing editor of the Boston Post, Boston's greatest newspaper man, who went to school with the students, as well as as a great figure. George L. Trump a tenor solo. Wm. D. Brigham, a prominent white citizen praised Trottier for devotion to the memory and principles of the Abolitionists. Mrs. A. J. Smitherman gave a dramatic speech. Rev. W. D. McClane, secretary, declared his preference for Trottier in straits to segregationists in riches. After a wonderful soprano solo by Mrs. Estelle Slater Jackson of Seattle, Rev. J. E. Mason of Livingstone George, gave the oration on Trotter's activity. Then Edgar P. Benjamin, Esq., treasure, presented the purse with evident emotion, saying the colored race must choose its own leaders. Editor Trotter made gratitude to Esq. for assented his principles. Rising salute Messrs. Trotter, Brigham and Carberry. nvocation was by Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Mrs. Lida Thomas Brilton was organist. Prof. J. Shelton Pollen was secretary Lakeen accompanies. Mr. Trotter was showered with congratulations. VICE PRESIDENT COOLIDGE GRANTS AUDIENCE TO N. A. A. C. P. DELEGATES. Calvin Coolidge, Vice President of the United States, has granted audience for May 3, 1922, to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Nation for the Advancement of Cooperation for the Delegation accompanying Mr. Johnson. The delegation will present a petition to the United States Senate, signed by 24 state governors, 35 mayors of large cities, Catholic archdioceses, and denominations, urging prompt action on the Senate of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, H. R. 13, already passed by the House of representatives. With a hearing 300 A. A. signatures obtained by the A. A. is being presented to Vice President Coolidge in his capacity of presiding officer over the United States Senate. UNCLE SAM OFFERS JOBS. Civil Service Tests to Get Hospital Employees May 20. United State civil service examinations to fill positions of watchman and elevator operator at the Aberdeen hospital will be held in St. Paul May 19. A news announcement Thursday by J. M. Mackay, civil service commissioner for the federal publications should be filed with the commissioner's office in the federal building as soon as possible, it is advised. The examination also will be to obtain a eligible list for skilled labor, messenger and other similar positions with salaries from $720 to $1,350 a year. Griffin Plans Biggest Picture in England. London, April 26—David Wark Griffith, the motion picture producer, before sailing for home today aboard the Homeric, announced that he will produce his "biggest" picture in Eng-land and have secured British capital for production of my biggest picture, which will be produced by him. he said, "It will be an effort to spread the message of universal love, propagating eternal peace." [Griffith made his name and fortune by propagating eternal hatred in long film "The Birth of a Nation," that wrong has been done and the money is in hand, he talks about propagating eternal peace.-Ed.] FILIPINO ORATOR WINS Macaulay Student Gets Place in National Contest. Enrique C. Sobrepena, Filipino student at Macaulay college, won fourth place in an oratorical contest between representatives of fifty-two colleges at Simpson college, Indianapolis, and his subject was, "Will America Keep Pledge?" He pleaded for Philippine independence. The contest was held in conjunction with the convention of Pi Kappa Delta University, national forensic fraternity. Sobrepena is a sophomore at Macaulay. He is president of the Filipino Triangle club and secretary of the college. He won second place in the oratorical contest between colleges of Michigan recently. POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK IS OBSERVED May 1 Sees Inaugurated First General Campaign of Kind in Service. Without the Postal Service, business would languish in a day, and be 'at a standstill' in a week. Public opinion would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred or prejudice only would flourish, and narrow-mindedness thrive. It is the biggest distinctive business in the world and it comes nearer to the innermost interests of a greater number of men and women than any other institution on earth. No private business, however widespread, touches so many lives so often or sharply; no church reaches into so many souls, flutters so many pulses, has so many human beings dependent on its ministrations. "Postal Improvement Week" has been set for May 1, by the Postmaster General. This is the first general campaign of its kind in the Postal Service for several decades. Business men and their organizations, large users of the mail, newspapers, motion pictures, advertisers, and the entire organization of 326,000 postal workers are to be enlisted in this country-wide campaign of interest in postal improvements. Your help is vital. Address your letters plainly with pen or typewriter, street address. Speak out of State of the Union address. Your return address in the upper left hand corner of envelope (not on the back) and always look at your letter before dropping in the mail to see if it is properly addressed. This care in the use of the mails is for your benefit and speeds up the dispatch and delivery of mail matter. If you have any complaints of poor service make them to your postmaster. He has instructions to investigate them and report to the department. COURTESY It sticks in human relations like postage stamps on letters. The POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT expects it to be used by its postmasters and employees in dealing with the public. So do them in its use beginning with 'POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK'. May 16, 1922. THANK YOU WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel Smithers, "Atlantic Coast," and expected Ben to know just where Zeke lived. Perhaps they had Zeke's address in letters up in the garret, maybe a chest full of 'em, but then it was called let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New York, N. Y., or Chicago, Ill., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which is just as incomplete as was Zeke's address of yore. The Postoffice Department asks you to put the number and street in the address. It helps you. Trinidad Col. How do you expect the Postal Clerk to know whether you mean Trinidad, California, or Trinidad, Colorado? ALWAYS SPELL, OUT THE NAME OF THE ORDER IN FULL, IN THE ADDRESS. This apt phrase was used in President Harding's first message to Congress and applies particularly in postman management where postmasters are the managers of the day and that they are managers of local branch of the biggest business in the world. HERE COMES A STRANGER! Let's make our post office look neat, Mr. Postmaster. Straighten up the rural letter box, Mr. Farmer*. Tidy up some, Mr. Rural Carrier. First impressions are lasting. Maybe Mr. Stranger, taking notice of these improvements, will come back, bringing you benefits. Start these with "POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK" May 1-6. HUMANIZING THE POSTAL SERVICE "There is no unimportant person or part of our service. It is a total of human units and their co-operation is the key to its success. In its last analysis, postal duties are accommodations performed for our neighbors and friends and should be so regarded, rather than as a hired service performed for an absentee employee."—Postmaster General Hubert Work. Oklahoma Bars Guardsmen from the Klu Klux Klan Oklahoma City, Okla., April.—A general order, directed specifically against the Ku Klux Klan and declaring that there is no room in the Oklahoma national guard for any officer or man who owes an allegiance to any power, secret organization, or society that might become arrayed against the United States or the state of Oklahoma and its laws, whose here yesterday by Gov.

War Time Drug Will Keep Moths Away. Paradichloride of fennine, a chemical in white crystal form, is recommended by A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist and professor of economic entomology just before the moth balls for the trunk or clothes this summer. A small amount of the crystals in the trunk will destroy all insect pests that do not leave, he says. It may be secured from the large drug container. The chemical is introduced into use during the war and has proved very popular. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared and issued by Irving C.

C. P. TAKING FOR HIS SUBJECT "BACK TO TAW." By Chas. M. Tucker. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People yearly presented, Dr. C. V. Roman, physician, writer, and philosopher, who spoke to large and appreciative audience at the People's Sunday evening, April 28, on the subject, "Back to Taw." Previous to the explanation of his subject by Dr. Roman, there had been some conjecture as to its meaning. So pronounced had this been that the president of the local branch voiced his inability of comprehension during his welcome remarks. However, all conjectures were entirely wiped away after the speaker had concluded his address. Dr. Roman, however, defined his subject as meaning the line or mark from which players of marbles had to shoot. In case they shot wrong, they had to go "back to taw." Dr. Roman informed his hearers that he was not a doctor of divinity, but a physician; and, while he was only a layman in the church, he felt that "many of the problems of humanity will have to be solved by religious teaching." He also illustrated that man, being inferior to animals in physical composition and endurance, has only reached the stage of his preemacy by his ability to reason and his power to think. Turning to the Bible, the passage was read: "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Centering his address around that text, Dr. Roman vigorously began pointing out the limitations of our government and commented upon the grounds on which this country has entered all wars. "We preach one thing, he said, 'and practice anatomy.'" Dr. Roman documented a contract and leave out something you want to put in, you make what is called a 'supplement.'" In the mind of the speaker, the war of 1863 was a "supplement" to the war of 1776. Continuing, Dr. Roman said that the grounds on which America entered the war of 1776, and supplemented by the war of 1863, in so far as it affected the black man, was later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. "We make laws," it was stated, "to ease our consciences and break them to satisfy our appetites." Men was also made a treatment accorded the colored after the world war. America went in as the "heralds of freedom and justice, self-determination and to make the world safe for democracy, and, as soon as the war was over, soldiers were mobbed with their uniforms on." Dr. Roman made a strong plea for the economic privileges of the colored man, especially those pertaining to a right for livelihood and the essential accommodations in *traveling*. Concerning the right to earn a decent living, the *speaker* said: "Every man that is born on earth has the same right to live as any other man has. Every man has the same right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The vicissitudes through which our government has come, it was thought, from one war to another, as they influence the life of the colored man, keep America "going back to taw" rather than acceding him the rights and privileges of the citizens. Dr. Roman felt that the chief trouble "with the American form of government was that it has too many reservations toward the right. "The world at large," the speaker said, "is short on freedom, justice and fair play." In closing his address, Dr. Roman recommended to his hearers his program which newspaper men have come to call his "Eight Word Philosophy of Life." "Enow thyself; control thyself; deny thyself and respect thyself." Comment is still heard relative to the timeliness of Dr. Roman's address. Many of the things touched upon in the course of his address were of importance and the manner in which they were presented not only indicated that the speaker is rightly recognized as a writer and a philosopher, but that he has a comprehensive knowledge of the economic and political situation throughout the country.
