FEW STILL TALK OF JOBS Most of Delegates Prefer Race Rights to Rewards for Individuals. (Crusader Service) Atlantic City, N. J., July 27.—Talk of bolting the Republican party until the colored man gets "fair treatment" was frequently heard during a session of the National Negro Republican conference here today. A veiled threat, that was only weakened by the frequency of such threats in the past, was made in a resolution by the Republican delegates from 18 states were in attendance at the two-day shore meeting terminating this afternoon. The majority report of the resolution committee called upon the "colored voters of the country to devote the next 15 months in perfecting the political groups, and to arouse concerted action to bring about political pressure for colored interests." Want Hospital Colored. the resolution further called upon "the present administration to keep the Tuskegee national hospital in every respect or raze it," and demanded the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill and the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments. The resolution said in part: "As an American citizen the colored man finds himself in a large section of the country disfranchised, Jim Crowed, subjected to peonage, mobbed and lynched and in other sections, under limitations to which, greed the subject to obey. We believe that the colored citizens in the states where they vote and where their votes are counted should use to the fullest external all the political power they can command, to abolish such conditions and for the greatest benefit to the entire race." A few of the delegates apparently retain the idea that colored interests can be recognized and the cause advanced by giving a few colored politicians jobs while ignoring completely the rights and welfare of the masses. George E. Cannon, colored physician and politician of Jersey City, said that recognition given colored Republicans by President Harding had been "far below" that accorded by other Republican presidents. He added: "Neither can we true American citizens subscribe to the policy he has pursued of not appointing colored men to office in the South." A permanent national organization was effected with Dr. Cannon as president. ASSOCIATED PRESS CORRECTS RIOT STORY Original Release Described Disturbance at Elaine as "Insurrection." New York, July 27.—The Associated Press, one of the greatest news-distributing agencies in the world, has corrected a story it sent out on the release of six Arkansas farmers whose cases were fought to the Arkansas supreme court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the original Associated Press story the Arkansas diots of 1919 were attributed to a colored "insurrection" it was charged that fighting had been begun by colored people. In response to vigorous protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Associated Press sent out the following story. *New York, June 28—Herbert J. Seligman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a statement issued today, pointed out that recent newspaper despatches from Little Rock, Ark., telling of the release of six colored men implicated in the Elaine rioting in 1919, incorrectly described the cause and nature of the rouble. "Denying the statement made in press despatches that the riot started when persons concealed near a colored meeting house at Hoop Spur, Ark, fired on a party of white men in a motor car, Mr. Seligman quoted Justice Holmes of the supreme court of the United States as describing the riot's cause thus: "On the night of September 30, 1919, a number of colored men assembled in their church were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men, and in the disturbance that followed a white man was killed." "Justices Holmes' statement was made in the court's opinion handed down February 19, 1923, ordering the federal district court to reconsider case. N.A.A.C.P. Stops Discrimination At Des Moines Beach Des Moines, July 27. — Protest against race discrimination at Des Moines municipal bathing beaches, made by the Des Moines branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has resulted in the passage of a resolution by the Des Moines city council, providing that there shall be no discrimination "at any of the city bathing beaches or parks on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The delegation of the N. A. A. C. P., headed by Messrs. S. Joe Brown and Charles P. Howard, claimed that a colored man had been ordered off of the Ds Moines beaches by a custodian. The delegation included Mrs. George Young, Mrs. L. R. Willis and James B. Morris, deputy county treasurer. The resolution barring discrimination was introduced by Mayor Garver of Des Moines.

Montgomery, Ala., July 27—The lower house of the Alabama legislature today voted for the continued reign of barbarism in this state by the overwhelming defeat administered the efforts of a few Alabamans, prodded and aided by outside humanitarians, to have a bill passed calling for the abolition of the convict leasing system in Alabama. The house of representatives side-tracked the issue by voting 2 to 1 a resolution not to consider further convict lease legislation at this session. This means the question of abolition leasing will not come up before March 31, 1924, unless the action is overturned. Administration forces and the capitalist mine-owning interests were behind the resolution. It is believed the senate will adopt the same resolution. New York, July 27—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today announced that he had severed his connection with the New York Age. For the last nine years Mr. Johnson has been contributing editor to the Age. His last editorials to appear in that journal were published in the issue of Saturday, July 14. War on London's Fog Stirs Old-Timer's Ire London.—Horrors! They're going to abolish the London fog. Old citizens are up in arms. "If the fog's been good enough for me, I don't see why the rising generation can't stand it," they mean. But despite this defense of one of London's oldest institutions parliament is "going into it thoroughly." Someone has suggested that Londoners have been "going into it thoroughly for generations, and coming out of it and going into it again, but nothing ever is done about it." There finally seems to be a serious attempt to end "the London particular" and a committee of technical experts of all British industry are to deal with the problem on national lines. Many persons who are not experts say there will always be fog in London until the obvious thing is done, prohibit the burning of soft coal. Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS AMPS NO THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1923 CROWD JAMS INTO COURT ROOM FOR WHITFIELD TRIAL Whitfield Appears Nervous as Jurors are Selected to Hear Evidence. ONE WOMAN ON JURY Attorneys Ask Prospective Veniremey Whether They are Prejudiced to Color. Cleveland, Ohio, July 27. — Over 3,000 people clamored for seats in the common pleas court, presided over by Judge George P. Baer, to bear the drawing of the jury in the case of John L. Whitfield, who, it is charged, shot and killed Patrolman Dennis Griffin (white). here several months ago. Special deputies were necessary to hold the crowd in order. Whitfield Unnerved. Whitfield, apparently unnerved by the procedure, listened attentively to the questions put to the prospective jurors by his lawyers as well as those of the state. Seated near his counsel, Arthur Day, Whitfield often leaned forward to give him a suggestion. The case against Whitfield seems to hinge upon the testimony of six women and a man who live near Pettibone road, Chagrin Falls, where Patrolman Griffin's body was found, and who have positively identified Whitfield's Jordan roadster as the car seen there the day of Griffin's murder. Whitfield has denied that his car was ever at Chagrin Falls. According to him, it was left at Taylor road, East Cleveland, and that the patrolman's body was given to a friend, Peter Belong, who buried it. Indicating by their arguments that the defense of Whitfield's murder trial will contend that the shooting of the police officer was accidental and not premeditated, the defense court was overruled in a demurrer the first degree murder indictment by Judge Bade. He told the attorneys, Arthur Day, Blase Boupane and Alfred De Lorenzo, representing Whitfield, that there was no ground for saying the statute making it first degree murder to kill a policeman was unconstitutional, for the Ohio supreme court had already decided the question in April. Attorney Boupane, in attacking the statute dealing with the murder of policemen, declared that "policemen have no halos about them. They are common, ordinary human beings of the same stuff as other people." Cites Cases. Boupane cited several hypothetical cases, where, he said, the death of a policeman ought not to constitute first degree murder, but would, he asserted, under the statute. One of these was the running down of a traffic officer on duty. Another was the shooting of a policeman mistaken for a night prowler. "If an honest citizen kills a policeman accidentally," he declared, "he cannot plead guilty to manslaughter or second degree murder, for the judge could not accept the plea. He wouldn't have his chance, even though there were no premeditation or intent." One of the questions asked prospective jurors by the defense attorneys is: "Are you prejudiced against the colored race?" Thus far no one has given an affirmative answer. Seven men and one woman have been accepted on the jury. New Banking House Opens In Boston An addition to the banking houses owned and controlled by colored people was made in June with the opening for business of the Harding, Cox and Martin Real Estate Syndicate at 990-992 Tremont street, Boston Mass. The syndicate is the first private banking house owned by colored people in New England and is able to move into its new quarters and do business on a larger scale the confidence it has established in the ten years of its existence, during which time not one investor has lost a dollar. The company's equipment includes everything needed to give banking service, even to a huge vault in the basement. The syndicate will work on the mortgage co-operation plan selling real estate investmtnet securities, bonds and security notes. THE QUESTION ARISES By E. W.

GOVERNOR FOR STAND ON KLAN ASK N. Y. GOVERNOR FOR STAND ON KLAN N. A. A. C. P. Requests Statement Because of Presidential Mention. New York, July 27.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public an open letter to Governor Alfred Smith of New York, requesting him, in view of the talk of his nomination for the presidency, to make public his attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan. The letter, which is signed by James Welden Johnson, reads as follows: "Dear Mr. Governor: "Colored people throughout the United States who are interested in your courageous and liberal stand in public questions will be interested to know, in view of the possibility you will be nominated for President, what is your attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan. As this masked body is attempting to capitalize religious and racial hatred and to make itself a political issue, will you not make a public statement defining your point of view in this matter for both colored and white Americans? "Yours very truly, JAMES WELDON JOHNSON." There is a sentimental value in owning one's home, and the same home for a lifetime. Husband and wife going out together, or otherwise, has been the making or breaking of many a family. Appearances have either made or unmade many a man. The world has weathered through all of its problems thus far, and we may confidently believe that it will weather through a lot more. When Christ reigns in every heart He will reign in every nation. The real and vital humanity problem is the problem of sin. "If thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door." After all is said and done, we stand on the top of all human literature and look up to the Bible. The bathtub at home is a pretty good place for a person "to go swimming." He who knows what he is after and goes after it probably gets what he goes after. LIBRARY PRAISES N. A. A. C. P. REPORT Harold F. Brigham, directing librarian of the free public library in New Brunswick, N. J., has written a letter in praise of the N. A. A. C. P. annual report.

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH HOLDS BAPTIZING GILLESLETS By E. W. Gilles THE CHRISTIAN WATER CATHEDRAL Colored Prisoners On Road Gangs Killed By North Carolina Guards One Man Serving 90-day Sentence Because He Could Not Pay $5 Fine. White Paper Says Incident Proves Counties Can't Manage Herd of Geese. New York, July 27.—Three colored men on road gangs in North Carolina have recently been shot by convict guards, according to a report by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The three men killed were petty criminals, one serving a 90-day sentence, and another four months. The man sentenced to 90 days had been imprisoned because he could not pay a fine of $5. Commenting upon the shootings, the Raleigh (N. C.) Times says editorially: "Forsyth county furnishes the most recent illustration of the fact that the county governments of North Carolina haven't sufficient conscience or intelligence to be allowed a free hand with the management of their prisoners. The colored man had done two months of a 90-day sentence imposed by the police court of Winston-Salem for gambling after it was found that he could not pay a $5 fine. He stands convicted of being a poor gambler, since he could not amass $5 in winnings. And then when he wagered his life against 30 days imprisonment, he showed that he was one of the plunging type which usually goes flat broke before the close of the game. "But poor as Henry's sense of proportion may seem to have been, and was, it need not shrink from comparison with that of a community which would demand 90 days of a man's life in lieu of five dollars and then after receiving two-thirds of the debt take the life to keep from shortcomings the sentence. "Forces join Wake and Nash counties in issuing that the management of county convicts in this state is in the hands of men who have' self-control enough to herd a gang of geese." Many colored men are being convicted of petty offenses in North Carolina to provide labor on the roads. Refusal Of Seats Brings Civil Action New York, July 26. The Harlem office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been investigating a case of theater discrimination, Dr. C. B. Powell being refused orchestra seats in the National theater on May 2. Through the law firm of Dyett and Hall, Dr. Powell has filed suit for damages under the civil rights law of New York state, which he claims the theater has violated. The case will be heard in the fall session of court.

Montgomery, Ala., July 27. Montgomery police were ordered today to arrest any masked person on the streets. James H. Hardaway, police commissioner, issuing the order, declared himself opposed to any demonstrations by the Ku Klux Klan. The police commissioner's action is said to be the result of pressure brought to bear upon the city government by local militias who, while encouraging the terrorists in past, have now suffered a quick change of mind in the face of the colored migration. NEWARK ATTORNEY GETS GOVERNMENT JOB Assemblyman Oliver Randolph Appointed Assistant U. S. District Attorney. Newark, N. J., July 19.—The appointment of Assemblyman Oliver Randolph, lawyer, of 164 Market street, Newark, to be an assistant United States district attorney for New Jersey, with headquarters at Newark, will be made within a few days, according to an announcement yesterday by United States Senator R. Salman chainman of Essex Republican county committee. The other assistant in the Newark office is Walter D. Riper of West Orange. "I know," said Senator Edge in the letter to Salmon, "you will be pleased to learn that I have been able to put Assemblyman Randolph over. He will be named in a few days an assistant district attorney for New Jersey, with headquarters in Newark. This gives the Essexorganization two assistant United States district attorneys, and what is more, a most substantial recognition of our colored citizens." Randolph was born at Shell Sound, Miss., in 1882, and was graduated from Wiley university, Marshall Tex., and from the law school of Howard university at Washington. D. C. He was admitted to the bar in New Jersey in 1914. His father was a lawyer and served in the Mississippi legislature. Oliver's brother Joseph B. Randolph, is president of Claflin university at Orangeburg S. C. BLAMES LAWYER FOR CONVICTION; FREES MAN Jackson, Miss, July 27 — Convicted "solely because he did not employ a good lawyer," John Watt, colored life-term convict, was pardoned yesterday by Gov.

The governor did not name the attorney who defended Watt. $2.00 PER YEAR TORTURE UNDER BROILING SUN IS NEW PUNISHMENT White Convicts Locked in Box and "Sweated" into Submission. EXPECT FEWER ARRESTS Colored Prisoners Lashed to Trees With Backs Exposed to Sun and Insects. Used by permission of the Consolidated Press Association. Reprinted from the St. Paul Dispatch. Coco, Fla.—Bosses of convict labor gangs, denied the right to use the lash since the death of Martin Tabert caused the Florida legislature to pass anti-whipping law, have obtained new expedients to extract obedience from their charges. The "sweat box" is the new method of torture for white prisoners who are strip road workers while the colored convicts, on the same sort of work, are given an even more cruel type of punishment. Convict guards from all parts of the state are reported to have complained to the authorities at Tallahassee, the capital, that since Governor Hardee signed the anti-whipping act it has been almost impossible to force convicts to labor on the roads. They contend that, lacking the whip, they are unable to subdue the insubordination among road gangs all over the state. Seven in One Camp. A close-up of the "sweat box," however, demonstrates that it is quite effective. This correspondent today visited a convict camp on state road No. 4, which is being pushed through the palm-bordered swamps and the live oak hummocks of Breyard county. There were seven "sweat boxes" at this particular camp, and all of them were occupied at some time or other. Picture a plain wooden box, made out of rough pine lumber. It is just high enough for a medium-sized man and not wide enough to permit one to sit down or even bend over. A fraction of an inch separates them from the roof, phaps there is not even this much space. The roof itself is the crowning touch. It is made of galvanized iron. There are no windows in the box, and the only fresh air, when the door is closed, is that which seeps through the cracks and crevices. Placed in Hot Sun. The "sweat box" is trundled out under the broiling sun, the pitiless, tropical sun of mid-summer in Florida, and the recalcitrant convict is made to enter it. A pint bottle of water and a portion of bread is placed on the floor. The inmate can reach it, only by the most difficult contortions. Many hours, one may hear feeble calls for help from within the box. When a man is released his clothes usually drip with perspiration and his face, bloated red, shows the agonies he has undergone. In the colored camps disobedient convicts are given short shrift. When a convict says he is unable to work—and illness is not accepted as an excuse either from whites or blacks, he is stripped to the waist, handcuffed to a prison tree and so placed that his bare back receives the full force of the sun's rays. But this is only the beginning. Nothern tourists to Florida know little of the swarms of mosquitoes and other insects that abound during the summer months along the flat, swampy lands of the east coast. Made Insects' Prev The handcuffed colored man is the prey of these insects. While residents of the locality will not think of stepping outdoors without protective veils, he stands bared to the sun with his back covered with miraids of the blood-sucking insects. Not a man is said to have been able to stand the torture for more than a half hour. Most of the inmates of the camp visited today were the remnants of the "snow bird" of last winter. The "snow birds" here identify Northern youth and men without visible means of support who come South every winter, to escape the snow and ice, of course, there were a few hardened criminals in the road gang, old timers doing long stretches, but the majority were "snow birds" serving sentences for vagrancy and petty larceny. One youth, hardly 19, who was doing his bit for vagrancy, said: "If our mother was ill in the next town and you were unknown in these parts and there was no train for six hours, and you started to walk be- tween, you took the time to put a little money in, let you could and probably would be rewarded grancy and put in a state camp. They'd send you out on the road." Fewer Arrests Expected. With the abolition of the convict lease system, however, it is expected that not nearly so many arrests, as occurred in the past, will be made for petty offenses, and consequently desperate and unruly convicts will have unargreed the tortures of the "sweat box" and the bare-back mosquito sessions.

To Be Ready when adversity knocks needs advance preparation and daily sacrifice PLAY SAFE BY HAVING A SAVINGS ACCOUNT AT THE STATE SAVINGS BANK 93 E. FOURTH ST. 4% Interest 4% Compounded Quarterly Correspondent Tells Why Sara Martin Sings Those Moanin' Blues THE FASHION WEEK Northern Savings Bank Few People Know of the Many Trials and Early Misfortunes of This Singer. With her photograph on the front page of the new record catalogs, with large display signs in every music store window, with many newspapers carrying advertisements heralding her success, and with the announcement of "IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET 'EM, BUT YOU CAN LOSE 'EM OVERNIGHT." the latest of her many big hits, Sara Martin has made what appears to be her best record. But it is only her best Okeh record. Today you will find Sara Martin a quiet, pleasant and refined artist, caring little for publicity, and for this reason (and we must admit it) our interview almost failed to get us the information we wanted for this story. If Sara Martin would only tell the story of her life in her own words, it would be much more interesting to read than this article, but she gracefully declined our invitation to do so, and smilingly thanked us. As she did so, a tear stole into her eye and gave us the impression of one preferring to forget herself. We had heard that Sara Martin was born and educated in Louisville, Ky., and that she lived with her parents until she was eighteen years old. Her school mates speak of her as having been the life of every party, and a girl who was always ready to make some one else happy. Many is the time she sang for her friends at these parties, and many is the heart she made lighter with her pretty lively songs, which bubbled over with her own personal happiness whenever she sang them. But that was in her girlhood days. Married Early. When she was only eighteen years old and in the happiest moments of her life, Sara Martin fell in love, as most of us do. She married and left Louisville to make her home with her husband in French Lick, Ind. From that day, life took on a different view for Sara, and many changes occurred in rapid succession. It is said that shortly after moving to French Lick Miss Martin's mother took sick and and died, bringing sadness into her life for the first time. She was very devoted to her parents and the loss of her mother had a marked effect on her. She was still mourning the death of her mother when her father died, followed closely by the death of several relatives causing even more grief and sorrow, within a few years, when again, as if to fill her cup of sorrow to overflowing, the hand of dead reached out and this time took away her beloved husband. This was a most severe blow to her. All this coming so close together it did seem as if fate surely was cruel to Sara Martin, but she bravely tried to console herself with the fact that she still had at least one relative left in this world—her brother. Hardly had she reconciled herself than she received the news that her brother had been crushed beneath a train, leaving her alone in the world to bear all her sorrows. Now she would have to work out a way to live and try to forget her misfortunes. Again returning to Louisville, she began to look for employment, but with no experience with which to apply herself, she found she was greatly handicapped. The strain soon told on her and she became sick suffered a nervous breakdown, which confined her to her bed for some time. She improved only slowly, and her physician advised her, if she ever hoped to fully recover and regain her health she would have to live elsewhere or travel. Without funds traveling was impossible for Sara, and although her friends wanted to assist her, she was too proud to accept help from them. However, several of her closest friends, knowing that she could sing, suggested that she go on the stage. This would not only make it easy for her to travel, but mean a livelihood for her as well. How could any one sing who's heart was as full of sorrow as was Nara Martin's? No one knew the weight of it, like she did, yet she would not let her friends know it for they would expect her to sing as gayly as she did in her school days, and even in the face of what she expected to be a failure, she decided to try. Displays Great Courage. It so happened that Biljy King's show was playing at a local theatre. "and after much deliberation Sara went to chill and asked permission to appear on the stage that night. After her first performance King is said to have remarked, "Such zinging can come only from the heart, and only such a singer as Miss Martin can sing that way." King immediately gave her a part in the show and took her with his company to Chicago, where they played four weeks, and where she made many friends. At the end of the fourth week it is said S. H. Dudley had offered her a place in his show, and she joined him in Washington to again meet with success. Still hiding her sorrows with her songs, Miss Martin finally joined the Oh! Joy Company, then playing New York City, and it was there that a manager for a large record company heard her and immediately gave her an appointment and a song to sing for Okeh record people. Now singing for records was entirely new for Sara Martin, and although it offered her a novel experience, there was no audience to which she had been accustomed, and somehow she did not seem to be able to smile as she sang into the big horn. The effect was apparently very trying to the director of the recording laboratory, for he pleaded with Sara to brighten her singing. As a result, she had to sing the song several times, and several records were made, and each time she tried harder to sing happily, but she could not do it. The sorrow was in her voice and she could not disguise it. When the final record was accepted, she had almost given up hopes of meeting the test, for she had actually cried during the recording. The records, however, were made and sold, and within a few months Sara Martin became known to the music lovers throughout the country as the "moaning and crying blues singer." So great has been the demand for her songs since then, that now from seven to ten machines are kept running day and night, in order to press out enough Okeh records to supply the trade. Even in her last record, "COME HOME PAPA BLUES" you will hear the sobs in her voice, for Sara Martin is still "singing through her tears."

Esther Bigeou SIMPSON & MEAD, Proprietors of Machines a Specialty princes, queens and all the worthless privileged classes live in luxuries and ease, while those who toil, "be subject to the powers that be?" Why should maidens be violated, women degraded, children be starved, degraded and oppressed? How long! Oh, how long! will a people that are surrounded by schools, libraries, books and colleges, denounce their reason? How long will they be led by the ignorant superstitions and barbarism of the past? Will we never cease to worship gilded vice, ever turn our backs and close our eyes to injustice, embrace hypocryc and corruption? We should have sense enough, manhood and womanhood enough to condemn the unjust, and impure the matter, if ever there was an institution that was sacred, holy it is, the institution of marriage. But read and ponder over 1 Cor. vii. It is beyond the imagination, to conceive of the condition of the human mind that becomes so callous and absurd, so utterly devoid of sense, humanity and reason, as to justify the indiscriminate and merciless slaughter of women and babes in war. The human being that could slaughter smiling, prattling, suckling babes, must have the heart of a serpent, the brain of a hyena and the pity of a crocodile. The cruel, ripping open of women, the slaughtering of the old and decrepit, the violating of maidens and murdering of babes, never was, is not now, and never will be an act of mercy. Never was commanded by any higher than a savage, murderous, barbarian. "Oh, judgment, thou hast fled to brutish beast, and men have lost their reason," Were I to find in a temple of savages that worshiped snakes these words written upon the dried skin of some babe no surprise would be expressed, viz., "Thou shalt kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot" (Ex. xxix, 20). "Now, therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women, children, that have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves." (Num. xxi, 17, 18). The above command was given to the soldiers of an invading army. In the name of common sense, in the name of humanity, in the name of reason, could such an indecent, such an outrageous, such a diabolical command have evanated from an inspirer, God or the devil? Could the devil's lawgiver have given a more hellish command? The cruel wars of subjugation, oppression and extermination from Moces to David would disgrace even the cannibals of Africa. "It is no more I that sin, but sin that dwellel in me," might be good for Paul. but not for present day ethics. Morality has its foundation upon humanity, justice, charity. Stealing was wrong before the Ten Commandments were even written. Long before the time of Moses murder was a crime. Again I add membership in all the churches of the world would be no guarantee of honesty and good character. Imitation, pretense, hypocrisy is too rampant in the world. Why should we pretend that we love our enemies. No sensible person loves their enemies, such is impossible. There was a story told of a dying Spaniard. Knowing that he was about to die he sent for the priest to administer to him the last sacrament. The priest after giving him words of consolation admonished him to forgive all who had wronged him, and to love his enemies. "Father," replied the dying Spaniard. "I forgive all and I have no enemy." "What!" replied the priest, "you have no enemy?" "No, father, I killed the last one two weeks ago." The church should destroy those prejudices that are a curse to the world. It must teach that the sensible, the true, the just, are the only chosen people. In the brotherhood of man is the salvation of the world, regardless of race, creed, color or nationality. In our future discussion some facts that are not generally known, and by the clergy suppressed will be taken up. Saint Paul Notes The Charity Sewing Circle had a profitable meeting at the home of Mrs. Roland, 531 Aurora avenue. The Circle will take up one of the debts of the Crispus Attucks home and is already planning a card party to raise money. Watch for the date. Mrs. Aime Hall, managing editor of the Northwestern Bulletin, returned to the city Monday from Missouri, Mont., where her nusband was confined in the Northern Pacific hospital. Mr. Hall, who also returned, is much improved. A movement is on foot, backed by the prominent citizens of both cities, to give a testimonial to Charles Sumner Smith, editor of the Minnesota Messenger, who is convalescing from a nervous breakdown. Plans will be announced later. Ernest Starks of T. J. Starks and Son was injured Saturday night, July 21, when an interurban bus in which he was a passenger, colided with a touring car at Fourth avenue and Twenty-second street, Minneapolis. Mr. Starks is not in a serious condition. ARMOUR NOTES. Frank Williams, veteran butcher at Armour & Co., had his left arm severely bruised in a bone rip-saw Monday afternoon. His condition is not serious. Joseph Combs, on the sheep side, was operated on for an injury sustained while working on the sheep bed. He is doing nicely at the company hospital. Harry Pope, hog butcher, is enjoying a month's vacation in several of the central states. STEIN'S We Deliver GROCERIES MEATS Try Our Fresh Meats and Fish DRESSED POULTRY Cor. Dale & W.
