VOL.1, No.6 CLOSING PLEA OF DARROW LEAVES COURT IN TEARS Supreme Criminal Lawyer Prophesies Negro Race Will Reach Heights in Progress. Room Tensely Silent White Announces Expenses of Trial to Date $20,000; Murphy Praised for Conduct. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) A jammed courtroom was moved to tears by the closing plea of Clarence Darrow, attorney retained by the N. A. A. C. P. to defend Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and ten other colored people from charges of murder in connection with the shooting of mobbists attacking Dr. Sweet's home on September 9 last. "To me this case is a cross section of history and a study of human emotions," declared Mr. Darrow. "It involves the future and the hope of some of us that the future shall be better than the past." Voice of Million Souls. In speaking of the 11 defendants, Mr. Darrow said: "I speak not only for them but for a race which, however you may do, will go on and on to heights never reached before. I speak for a million Negroes who have some hope and faith remaining in the institutions of the land. I speak to you in behalf of those whose ancestors were brought here in chains. I speak in behalf of the faces, those black faces, which have haunted this courtroom ever since this trial began. I ask you in behalf of yourselves, our race, to see that no harm comes to them. I ask you in the name of the future to do justice in this case." The Detroit Times, reporting the scene in the courtroom during Mr. Darrow's plea, says: "Darrow's plea was marked by all the tense emotion, the deep pathos which won him his reputation. The spectators kept a hushed silence, one or two dabbing at their eyes with handkerchiefs at his references to the plight of the black race. When Darrow finished he wiped an eye and sat down amid a hush shattered only as the judge found words and signaled the prosecutor to start his final plea." White Reports. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who recently returned from Detroit, where he has been throughout the trial, stated that the expenses of the trial to date had been about $20,000, the transcript of testimony alone costing $2,081.60. "One of the most impressive sights I have ever seen," declared Mr. White, "was the way in which colored people in Detroit flocked to the trial. At half after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, when the jury was still arguing and sent out for instructions, the courtroom was packed. At 2:10 in the morning, when the jury was sent to bed, balliffs had (Continued on page 2) 'YE OLDE SMOKE SHOPPE' OPENED Unique Minneapolis Store, Run by Old Residents, Makes Bid for Trade.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1925 Proceeds of Sale Used for Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis, Clinics, Examinations, Health Education. "A Christmas Seal on every package and greeting sent during the Yuletide season as a personal gift of health to the public." It is with the hope that all Christmas mail will be suitably decorated with a health seal that directors of the anti-tuberculosis campaign are putting forth every effort to inform the public of the necessity of health education. Seals a Health Gift. "The use of a Christmas Seal," says E. P. Davis, president of the Ramsey County Public Health Association, "is a token of the most precious offering within the power of human being to give—health. "It is the most fitting expression of the Christmas spirit. In buying the health seal the public really is giving generously toward its own happiness. It is also helping others to gain the happiness that can only come with a sound body. To further the argument of a seal for every parcel and greeting campaign directors are pointing out that during December of 1924 there were 10,400,000 pieces of mail sent from the St. Paul postoffice. If each of these had a Christmas Seal decoration the sum gained for the fighting of disease would have amounted to $104,000. Officials Indorse Campaign All civic, social and philanthropic organizations have indorsed the Christmas Seal Sale; state and city officials are supporting it without hesitation, it is announced. Besides continuing to wage upon tuberculosis, Christmas Seal funds carry on a general disease prevention program in Ramsey County, including partial support of the Children's Preventorium, a nutrition clinic in the public schools, physical examination in the parochial schools, and general health education through books, posters, films, lectures and literature. "It is urgent that all public-spirited citizens give generously and whole-heartedly to this worthy movement and make liberal purchase and use of Christmas Seals as evidence of their interest in public health and the relief of suffering," Governor Christianson said when told of the health program for the coming year.

RONDOLIN CAFE HAS MORE THAN CAPACITY HOUSE RONDOLIN CAFE HAS MORE THAN CAPACITY HOUSE Musical Comedy Produced Completely by Local Talent Draws Overflow Audience. 100 Unable To Enter Net Proceeds of Function to Be Given to Charity, According to Officers. More than 100 people were turned away from Union Hall the evening of December 3 when "The Rondolin Cafe," a musical comedy, was produced by the D. Y. W. Y. K. club, under the direction of C. H. Miller. According to the people in charge, the crowd which turned out to see the play has been unequalled in the history of the hall. Proceeds of the affair will be spent for charity. Talent Enlisted. Mrs. Freda C. Jackson, local dancing instructor, assisted materially in the dancing instruction. Leah Mae Minor, Mrs. Anna Belle Holliday, Mrs. Wanema Cotton and Herbert Foster furnished the music. It was the general consensus of opinion that "The Rondolin Cafe" was one of the best directed, most charming and most highly successful musical shows that local talent has ever produced. The number of people who were turned away rom the doors of the hall proved that the publicity which preceded the showing had been well scattered. Cast. Named.

(By Preston News Service) Rockville, Md., Dec. 11.—When the case of Robert S. Parkhurst, charged with assault and battery by Mary E. Price, was called in Circuit Court here Wednesday, Miss Price did not appear. Her father, George W. Price, of Silver Spring, stated that she disappeared from home Monday and no trace of her had been found. Judges Peter and Worthington issued an attachment and two officers were sent to look for the girl. Court then recessed. A letter, said to have been written by a newspaperman to the girl and intercepted by her mother, is in the hands of the prosecuting attorney for investigation. Immediately after the girl was alleged to have been attacked in a lonely part of Silver Spring on August 8 last, she reported that her assailant was a Negro. Later she retracted this statement and placed the blame upon Parkhurst, who was said to have met her upon occasions at the home of a neighbor.

(Preston News Service) Columbus, O., Dec. 10.—Mrs. Elizabeth Hauck tossed her infant daughter out of a window into the waiting arms of A. Daniels, aged servant, who was standing in the yard, when a fire destroyed her home Thursday night. Her mother, Mrs. Susan Pirrung, and her sister, Miss Clara Pirrung, who lived with the Haucks, ran to a fire box to turn in an alarm. Mrs. Hauck ran to a window and shouted for Daniels, who sleeps in a room above the garage. He heard Mrs. Hauck screaming and as he ran to the house, Mrs. Hauck tossed the Fordyce, Ark., Dec. 11.—David Vaughn, aged 72 years, was beaten to death by his son, Diamond Vaughn, aged 20 years, Wednesday, on the road near the Pete Nichol plantation. The elder Vaughn was returning from the jail with his son, who had been held there following an attack of the youth on his sister Monday on a Fordyce street. The aged man was riding a horse when his son, objecting to the return home, suddenly seized a club and beat his father to death. Diamond Vaughn later attacked Norman Shelton and bit his hand badly when Shelton sought to hold him. Vaughn was arrested later and lodged in the Ahmpton jail on a charge of murder. HOWARD ALUMNI FOSTER REUNION Class of 1913 Meets to Discuss Unpublished Year Book; Philadelphia, Pa.—On the evening of Thursday, November 26th, after the Howard-Lincoln football game, the Class of 1913, of Howard University, met at the residence of Dr. O. J. Cooper in Philadelphia, and discussed plans for publishing the 1913 edition of the Bison, the Howard University year book. This class did not publish a year book at the time of its graduation. The class has planned to have the 1913 edition of the Bison appear in 1928, the fifteenth anniversary. Reverend James E. Rose, of Rochester, New York, the last president of the class presided, and a committee with headquarters at the alumni office at the University was appointed. Frank Coleman, now Professor of Physics, at the University, was appointed chairman. The committee is composed of Dr. J. R. Johnson, of Philadelphia; Rev. E. A. Love of Annapolis, Md.; Dr. O. J. Cooper of Philadelphia; Dr. Charles T. Lunsford of Rochester, N. W., and Reverend James E. Rose of Rochester, N. Y.

Before firemen arrived, a neighbor obtained a ladder and placed it against the side of the house. Mrs. Houch, however, became hysterical and leaped out of the window. Daniels mounted the ladder and plunging into the smoke filled rooms upstairs, brought the children one by one to the window where he passed them out to the neighbor who was on the ladder. All the children were taken from the burning building in safety and were none the worse for their adventure. Mrs. Hauck's hair was burned almost entirely off her head and she suffered severe burns on hands, arms and back as a result of her heroic efforts to save her children.

PRICE FIVE CENTS NEGRO FAVORED IN PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE FOR'26 United States Has No More Loyal Citizens Than Negroes Coolidge Says. Equal Rights Urged Protection, Justice, Tolerance Desired by Executive for Colored Population. In delivering the annual presidential message to Congress, President Coolidge outlined a broadly favorable attitude toward the Negro. Claiming that the Negro was one of the most loyal citizens of the state, that he had made almost unbelievable progress in the past 60 years, and that he formed a large element, nearly one-tenth of the total population of the United States, the President asked for protection to the colored citizen Equal Rights Sought. Equal rights of the Negro before the law without distinction to race and creed, absolute protection from violence, and a tolerant attitude on the part of white citizens were strongly urged by the President. The full text of that part of the President's message which deals with the Negro follows: "Nearly one-tenth of our population consists of the Negro race. The progress which they have made in all the arts of civilization in the last 60 years is almost beyond belief. Our country has no more loyal citizens. But they do still need sympathy, kindness and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the requirements of the government and society to deal out to them even-handed justice will be met. They should be protected from all violence and supported in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the American people. Elements Divergent. "Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are striving in their own way to be loyal to the high ideals worthy of the crown of American citizenship. It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all our inhabitants the right to live their own lives under the protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially, physically, morally, to incite revolution, or to violate the established customs which have long had the sanction of enlightened society. Bigotry Is Slavery. "But it does mean the full right to (Continued on page 4) TEST PREPARED FOR TEXAS LAW N. A. A. C. P. Lawyer Working on Brief to Fight "White Primary" Before Supreme Court. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New *Work, Dec. 11.—Fred C. Knollenberg, Texas attorney, retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the case challenging disfranchisement of colored voters through the "white primary" system of Southern states, writes from El Paso that he has begun work on the brief for the U. S. Supreme Court in the case and that it will be ready to submit to the N. A. A. C. P. legal committee within thirty days. The case, which is docketed on the calendar of the U. S. Supreme Court, arose out of the Texas "white primary" law passed in 1923, prohibiting any colored person to vote in the Democratic primaries. It is contended the law disfranchises colored voters since the Democratic party primaries in Texas constitutes the only machinery for election to office. The law was challenged by Dr. A. L. Nixon, who sought to vote and was prevented, his case being now appealed from the U. S. District Court in Texas.

Outlining the facts that the Negro makes up nearly one tenth of the population of the United States, that he is one of the most loyal citizens of the country and that he has made almost in- credible progress during 60 years in various arts, President Cool. idge urges the necessity of securing to that large element in the Population equal justice and protection from violence, and of punishing any persons who attempt violence upon that group. In passing it may not be unwise to note that the effectiveness of the recommendations in this matter will depend largely upon the degree of earnestness which the president displays in that re- gard. If his later attitude shows an aggressive belief in the rights of his colored citizens, those rights will be more generally respect- ed both as to individual treatment throughout the country, and to beneficial legislative enactment. Should he retreat, however to a lukewarm state now that the message has been broadcasted, the same evils of omitted action will be in evidence in the coming year as have aften prevailed in the past. The tragically humorous part of the message about the Ne- gro is that the executive pleads in a way with certain elements in the country not to harm colored people. People who do commit violent acts. upon Negroes should be punished, he says. That it should be necessary in this enlightened stage of civil- ization’s progress, in a country which is admittedly Christian and one of the most progressive nations on the globe, to plead with the body of citizens that they should not harm any of the groups which make up the whole, is downright funny. Funnier still is that fact that the caution is not based upon unfounded whim, but upon the revolting truth that within the confines of these United States brutal crime is committed almost unchecked by a portion of the nine-tenths upon the ever-progressing one-tenth. Grim humor, that! Humor of the sort that is daily making smiling-faced black men with seething hearts realize more and more that only in co-operation among themselves can an integra- tion be developed which will result in greater protection from within. Humor that can look back proudly upon six decades of eventful achievement in the face of supreme difficulties, Humor that glanices undaunted into whatever the future may bring, NEGRO COMMUNISTS It is either a queer thing or a very natural thing that out of all the newspaper comment which the recent Negro Labor Con- gress elicited, a southern journal should have expressed in very lucid terms the kernel of the whole matter. This paper, the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, said in part: “The way to make the Negro a better and safer element of our popula- tion is not to organize fights upon imaginary alien seducers, but to conduct an intelligent offensive against the real domestic menaces that embitter the Negro’s life and impel him to occasional acts of rebellion. One of these menaces is the unspeakable lynch- ing practices. Others are execrable housing conditions, under- education, and grossly unfair discrimination in the matter of parks and playgrounds. In these menaces lie the only real danger that the American Negro may become radical. If he becomes a radical, it will be America’s fault—not Russia’s.” Very truly and fairly said. Much the same idea was advanced in an editorial in a recent issue of the Dearborn Independent. The editorial pointed out that what the Negro wanted when he moved into white residential districts was not, as the white residents immediately believed, freer association with white peo- ple, but better housing, lighting, and general conditions of residen- tial environment—advantages which could be obtained in white sections, but which were often denied colored districts. So it was in the case of Doctors Turner and Sweet of Detroit; so it was in the case of a local colored attorney. The sooner white people as a whole realize the truth in the statements like those quoted which are made in their journals, the sooner will this prob- lem of residential segregation and expansion be cleared up.

Perhaps this man Cole felt that he owned a debt to France for permitting him, for the first time, to breathe in a full breath of freedom and brotherhood. Iam reminded of the time that a French officer asked me why there was a Negro division in the American army. At first I told him that I did not know. And then I explained that in my coun- try about fifty per cent of the people were uncivilized, ignorant barbarians. About ten per cent were downright savages. This officer with a show of feeling said that such a thing could never happen in France. » And so while Cole’s family will mourn his passing they can take solace in the fact that he has died for France.

And as they work, eyes sunken into faces where the skin is drawn tight, smile happily, lips pale and bloodless murmur in attempted show of appreciation, and skinny hands pick the sheets in nervous display of a faded animation. At times the nurses steal into secluded rooms where visitors are allowed at any time of the night or day, and where the eternal motionlessness of the covered figures indicates unmistakably the near approach of a stalking monster. The other side of the picture is brighter; the activities of people who seem in perfect health but who are restricted to spend- ing a certain portion of each day in bed for the necessary purpose of rest; the chatter of these people, their plans for spending a little time at home with their families; their eagerness to hear about the progress of some one who has been dismissed.

Judge Murphy Landed. “I want to pay a tribute to the magnificent way in which Judge Mur- phy conducted the trial. He did his utmost to exclude the issue of race prejudice and his final charge to the jury was a masterpiece of scholarly learning and judicial impartiality. “The case has largely changed public sentiment in Detroit. The bet- ter class opinion is now with the defendants, although the Klan is, of course, more bitter than ever. But the N. A. A. C.

Please note my new address: 7904 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood, Cal. RACE PRIDE Too much credit cannot be given to the D. Y. W. Y. K. girls for the wonderful spirit of racial co-opera- tion in their renting Union Hall for their recent play. Repeath the play, girls. We are praising them for the fact that they could have rented other halls with greater seating capacities for the same amount or less money than they paid for Union Hall, but since Union Hall is their race's own they chose it in spite of the fact that more than 100 persons were turned away because It was crowded beyond capacity long before the curtains went up. As long as we take our dances, plays, mass-meetings, ete., to halls and auditoriums belonging to the other race, just so long will Union Hall remain the size it is at present. There are those among us who are so short-sighted and thoughtiess that they are willing to patronize the halls of the other race because of the tem- porary advantages offered; we hear time and again say that U. H. “is too small” and that it is better to go to Minneapolis with certain functions because “we can dance until 1 o'clock.” We admit that a St. Paul ordinance requires dances to close at 12, but should the mere matter of one hour's pleasure cause our race pride to vanish? Be independent. Patronize U. H. and soon Union Hall Association will be in a position to add sufficiently to the hall to be able to accommodate our largest dance crowd, The men at the head of U. H. A. are level-headed business men and we feel sure that they deem it noth- ing short of folly to expend several thousands of dollars in enlarging U. H. when our functions are being taken to other halls. We don't expect the younger set to understand why we are so proud of U. H. as it stands today, but we look with disdain on the older ‘ones who have so soon forgotten what we were up against before we had U. H. For the information of the young and a reminder to the old, we wish to say that in those days we could rent only a hall that was in the worst location in town and in such a run-down condition that no one else would rent it, and even then our women were insulted and our men sneered at. ‘Things are a little better now that we have U. H. Other doors are thrown open to us. During our life time we have made a study of the other race at close range; we have studied from the Pennsylvania Coal-Baron to the Min- nesota hod carrier, and we find that in almost all cases he respects power, and that only. So long as we don't control a na- tion of our own, the next best thing to do is to patronize our own and ac- cumulate wealth, because the white man respects the power of wealth more than anything else save the muzzle of a cannon, —THE SPHINX. Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., ee een December 6, 1925. Editor The St. Paul Echo: A short time ago through one of my St. Paul friends, I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of The St. Paul Echo. Naturally I was inter- ested in the paper because I had been in St. Paul such a short time ago, and because I soon discovered after reading the issue that the pa- per covered the news of its territory completely. Tam using this method of convey- ing to you every good wish for the success of the paper. I congratulate you upon your initial endeavor; it was a crackerjack. Very sincerely, H.

Confectionery, fishing pond, keno, country store and hot dogs were the principal attractions. The music was furnished by Mr. Clarence Johnson, who is a wizard at the piano. The affair was a most enjoyable one. The most beautifully decorated booth was the Eureka Girls' Confectionery booth of Gold and Blue. The regular monthly dinner meeting of the Auxiliary was held Tuesday. Mrs. Mallinson and Captain Hendrickson of the Salvation Army were special guests. Captain Hendrickson favored the group with two vocal selections. She possesses an unusually sweet voice. Mrs. Mallinson told the story of her organization which she represented. The principal business of the Auxiliary was the discussion of the coming musical treat on January 25 which the group is sponsoring. The Auxiliary is most enthusiastic and is putting forth every effort to make this the very best musical ever given in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis is rejoicing over the fact that a part time athletic director is a reality. Mr. Samuel Ransom began December 1, and with his ability and tactfulness, success is a certainty. Mr. Ransom is organizing all kinds of boys' and men's clubs which will be a real asset to the house. The Twin City Social Workers' club met with Miss Brown at Phyllis Wheatley House Thursday evening. Program for the ensuing year was discussed. The members of the Athletic Association are rejoicing over the fact that their attendance surpassed that of the women's class. Thirty men enjoyed the gym and swimming at Franklin Jr. High Friday night, while only 23 women enjoyed their class. The forum had a most interesting meeting at Phyllis Wheatley House Sunday afternoon. Mr. C. B. Burton was the speaker. Atty. George Hamilton sang, Mrs. Mary James rendered a reading and Miss Esther Stovall a piano solo. Through the kindness of Mr. Attwood a winter slide has just been installed in the yard, for which the house is most grateful. The children's classes are growing in interest and attendance. The children's hour is held daily from 4 to 5, each day having a new program. These children's ages range from 3 to 13, and are grouped according to their ages. The various basketball teams are now hard at work preparing to enter the city league the first of the year. The North High Service Girls' club is planning to give the children their Christmas Party again this year. This party is to be given on December 18, in the house auditorium. The girls have sole charge of the party and are leaving no stone unturned in making this party surpass that of last year. The Girl Scouts will present a play for the children on that afternoon. The Twin City Entertainers. The Twin City Entertainers are giving a dinner dance at Commonwealth Hall, 442 Rice St., the night of December 16, and are well prepared to take care of their patrons.

St. Paul, Minn. need TING NE furnish estimates at PLEASES Paul Echo In the SPOT LIGHT By Johnny Walton NEW LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION With the change of the lightweight title to the hands of Rocky Kansas, the sturdy, hard-hitting veteran of Buffalo, interest will no doubt be stimulated in that division, which had become practically dormant because not a contender could be found who would give Benny Leonard any trouble in retaining his honors as lightweight king. The result was a tournament in that division to select a new champion after the retirement of Leonard, the outcome of which vested the title in the hands of Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo. Goodrich claimed a foul in a go with Sammy Mandell, paving his way to the final with Loyayo, the South American, who proved a setup. The life of a cheese champion is short; but not sweet. In Rocky Kansas, another rugged Hebrew, we have a champion who will wear the crown for some time to come. A PROMISING MIDDLEWEIGHT Larry Estridge, a colored middleweight of New York, added another scalp to his belt by stopping Freddy Kreb in three rounds. Wonder how he would look with Jock Malone here? TOUSSAINT WINS In what was the most thrilling bout on the weekly boxing show at the Gaiety theater Tuesday night, Haywood Toussaint, the St. Paul boxer whose poundage of 150 is scattered over the acreage of six feet and two long inches of human bones, matched radio wits with Jimmy Peck of Minneapolis, an amateur whose knowledge of boxing was conspicuous for its absence. Toussaint's knowledge of tuning in enabled him to connect now and then after a broadcast of wild punches that might have hung up on anybody's receiver from ringside to gallery. The St. Paul boy was given the decision after all punches had descended from the roof and were gathered up and assorted. Toussaint can be developed into a good boxer with the proper routine of instruction. DEATH SHOWS CARELESSNESS The death of Joseph (Kid) Holmes of Chicago Monday night is doubtless due to negligence on the part of the promoter and managers of both fighters, and not the fighters themselves, as it is the duty of such officials to see that a ring is well padded before the contestants enter it. The New Jersey boxing commission is having some awful times these days. TOUSSAINT—DJALMA WIN Haywood Toussaint, having boxed Tuesday night in Minneapolis, pulled a rare trick by winning his fights two nights in succession. His victim Wednesday night was a mail carrier who preferred a number rather than a name. He called himself "170." In the semi-windup Bill Djalma knocked out Joe LaBarre in the first round of a scheduled four-round affair. LaBarre was out for five minutes. Phyllis Wheatley Athletic Association Notes.

CUT BY HUSBAND (Preston News Service) Little Rock, Ark.—Mrs. Irene Joiner pleaded with Municipal Judge Lewis Tuesday not to send her husband to jail or fine him. Julius Joiner, her husband, is being tried for assaulting her several days ago with a knife and iron bar. Mrs. Joiner pleadingly insisted that she loved her husband and that he was insanely jealous of her, and that if Mr. Joiner were dismissed, she was sure there would be no further trouble. Judge Lewis dismissed the case. The woman suffered several knife wounds in the back and a fractured arm as the result of the trouble, which occurred several days ago when Joiner found her in conversation with another man. The girl who is cursed with a twin brother might as well not try to be about her age. J. Popular Irene Rich, the "movie" star, is a prime favorite with the millions of people who like moving pictures. Miss Rich seems to be fitted to the parts she plays as if they were especially written for her. This is one of her very latest pictures. THE ST.

This condition cannot be granted to others, or enjoyed by ourselves, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Bigotry is only another name for slavery. It reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed, but also those who seek to apply it. An enlarged freedom can only be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life."
