A.'s Go From Bottom to Top of University of Minnesota's Sorority List. Alpha's Make 'C' Grade Omega Trails; Dean Nicholson Praises Excellent Work of Local Co-eds. Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, colored undergraduate Greek letter organization at the University of Minnesota, had the highest scholastic average during the past school year of any of the 21 such organizations on the campus, according to a report issued last Monday by E. E. Nicholson, dean of student affairs. Last year the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority was the only sorority on the campus which failed to make a "C" average. This year it stands well above its nearest competitor for first scholastic honors with an average of 1.512. Delta Delta Delta, which stands next on the scholastic list had the appreciably lower average of 1.471. Dean Praises Work The scholastic feat of the Alpha Kappa Alpha, in going from 21st to first place in a year was characterized by Dean Nicholson as one of the most remarkable achievements of the year. Only one of the two recognized colored fraternities on the campus failed to make a "C" average. The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which had a grade of .999 24, was officially recognized by Dean Nicholson as having attained a "C" average. In reporting the fraternity as being below grade, the daily papers made a serious error. Omega Fails The Omega Psi Phi fraternity was the only one of the three organizations which failed to lift itself sufficiently to attain the desired average. Last year it occupied 36th place on the scholastic roll, and this year it took 34th place, but the rise (Continued on page 2) LEGION ENDORSES ANTI-LYNCH BILL Ohio Body Passes Resolution Urging Passage of Dyer Bill; To Press Measure. According to a letter sent by J. O. Jones, member of the American Legion in Ohio, to the N. A. A. C. P. $9 Fifth ave., the Legion has unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill at its state convention. The resolution, according to Mr. Jones, will go before the American Legion in its National convention. The text of the resolution adopted by the American Legion of Ohio in state convention is as follows: "Whereas, there is pending in Congress a bill known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, action on which has been deferred for more than three years, and whereas all of Ohio's representatives to Congress voted for this bill when it passed the House in November, 1922, and whereas, the American Legion stands for those principles that secure for all justice and liberty, be it resolved that this convention now in session at Elyria, Ohio, heartily favor its passage and request and urge that Congress pass it or a similar bill during its next session. "Be it further resolved, that the delegates elected from this convention be instructed to have a similar resolution brought before that convention." --- The St. Paul Echo In Answer To Demand, Echo Herewith Presents Readers With List of Books By Negro Authors With the contemporary Negro "renaissance" in literature, many readers, both white and colored, have evinced a growing interest in the work of contemporaneous and past Negro authors. Repeated inquiries have come to the Echo office for lists of books by Negro authors. In answer to those queries, we are herewith presenting a comprehensive list of such books which are readily available at the St. Paul Public library. For the list we are indebted to the library and to Reginald A. Johnson, colored attendant at the library, whose aid has been invaluable. We suggest that the list, which has permanent value, be clipped by our readers and put away for reference. The list appended consists of approximately all of the books in the library by Negroes, but does not include books about Negroes by white authors. In addition to the books listed, an extensive file of newspaper clippings and pamphlets dealing with the Negro can be had from the reference room. Also on file in the Reference room are the catalogs of the leading colored colleges and universities of the country. The Periodical department has on file several periodicals edited by Negroes such as, The Southern Workman, Journal of Negro History, Opportunity, The Crisis, and Others. Fiction Chesnutt, C. W.

Caldwell, secretary of the local union. Love Triangle Ends When Davis Kills Mrs. Dudley Washington, D. C.—The sensational Dudley matrimonial tangle, which has attracted the eyes of the country for a long time, came to a dramatic climax Tuesday in the house of the once estranged couple who had recently mended their differences and gone back to live together, when George S. Davis, patrolman named as the correspondent in the dropper divorce suit, fired three bullets into the body of the wife, Mrs. D. B. Dudley, 32, and then shot himself in the temple. Doctors at Freedmen's hospital, where Davis was taken, pronounced chances for his recovery as slight. Sherman H. Dudley, noted the theatrical magnet was greatly shocked by his wife's death. A charge of murder in the first degree has been filed against Davis, and he will be arrested and tried if he recovers. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1926 BOB MARSHALL SIGNED BY PROFESSIONAL TEAM (From The Minnesota Daily) Bobby Marshall, former University of Minnesota football luminary, was signed by the All-Stars aggregation of Minneapolis last Friday. Marshall is admitted to be one of the oldest active football players in the country, but despite his years he is one of the most able men in the professional game. Since leaving the University of Minnesota he has played professional baseball every summer and professional football every fall. Bob. Marshall entered the University from Central high school in 1899 and under the coaching of Dr. Williams became one of the greatest ends of collegiate football. He reached the height of his career in the Minnesota-Michigan game in 1903 which ended in a 6-6 tie. Since then he has played football with many strong professional teams and baseball with the Colored Gophers. Work hard and save your money so you won't have to wish you had worked hard and saved your money STATE AUDITOR ANNOUNCES 30% TAX REDUCTION Property Tax Levy Cut From 7.7 Mills to 5.4 Mills by New Order. $1,950,000To BeTaken 1.23 Mills Will Be Used to Aid Schools; .05 Mills for Teachers' Insurance. There will be a 30 per cent reduction in the state tax next year. The cut was announced today by the state auditor who is required by law to fix the rate. This year, property owners throughout the state are paying taxes on their holdings on the basis of 7.7 mills to the state. For next year the levy just announced will be 5.4 mills. Split Indicated Of this sum, 1.23 mills is for school purposes and .05 of a mill for the teachers' insurance and retirement fund. Since St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth have teachers' insurance funds of their own, no state levy for the purpose is made in those three cities and consequently the rate there for state taxes, payable next year, will be 5.35 mills. Aside from the items above mentioned, the levy for other state purposes is 4.12 mills, as contrasted with 6.42 mills last year. The big cut is in the levy for general revenue purposes. New Levy Last year's levy for the state revenue fund was 3.5 mills and the legislature authorized a levy this fall for next year's taxes of 3 mills. This has been cut two-thirds, balances in the various funds and prospective revenue from gross earnings taxes on corporations, expected receipts from the occupation tax, inheritance tax, royalty tax and similar indirect taxes making possible the action. The levy for general revenue provides the money to care for expenditures authorized by the 1925 legislature. On the present valuation of the state, it should produce approximately $1,950,000, the bal- (Continued on page 4) TWIN CITY CHORUS PLANS CONCERT The executive committee of the proposed Twin City chorus met last Friday evening, September 24, at the Phyllis Wheatley House to perfect plans for the most stupendous musical by local talent in the history of the Twin Cities. It is planned to have the first concert of the Twin City chorus in February, 1927, at a local theater or Auditorium. It is to be patterned on the type of the one introduced last spring by George Johnson, musical director of New York city. A well known artist is to be featured as soloist on this date. The first rehearsal of the chorus took place in Minneapolis, Monday o fthis week and the second rehearsal in St. Paul, Wednesday of this week. Rehearsals will be held in both cities. The first Monday at each month in Minneapolis, the first Thursday in St. Paul and the third Monday in Minneapolis when a joint rehearsal will be held between both cities. Rehearsals in Minneapolis are held at the Phyllis Wheatley House and at the Y. W. C. A. in St. Paul. The executive committee is composed of Mrs. Ione Stewart, president; Mr. John Hickman, Jr., vice president; Mrs. Blanche Mason, secretary; Mrs. Mae Glenn, treasurer; Miss Jesa Oden, chairman of finance committee; Miss W. R. Banks, chairman of entertainment committee; Miss Mary James, librarian; Atty. O.

Lewis, president of The St. Paul Echo company, died Wednesday, September 29, at 9:30 A. M. of tubercular meningitis. The little girl, who had been unconscious since last Friday, was at the Miller hospital under the care of Dr. J. T. Christison. She was two years and nine months old. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2:30 P. M. from St. James' A. M. E. church. Rev. W. H. Griffin officiated and the Sunday school of St. James' played a part in the services.

The Universal Music Makers, Chicago music publishers and promoters will present Thos. H. Oden, popular song writer of Chicago and St. Paul, at a ball to be given at the South Side Auditorium, Oct. 8 from 9:30 p. m. to 1:45 a. m. Admission will be fifty cents. Stevens Orchestra will furnish the music. A special dance program consisting of popular hits by race writers, and including several of Mr. Oden's best numbers, will begin at 11 o'clock sharp. Mr. Oden made his first public appearance in Chicago last Thanksgiving eve, when he was presented by the Universal Music Makers at a ball given at Forum-hall. This affair was a huge success and Mr. Oden is repeating the same program here with a few changes in the special attractions. These include a waltz contest awarding three cash prizes, and Clara Smith, St. Paul's well known dancer, who will feature her "Solo Dance." Alfred Shute, St. Paul's popular baritone, will sing Mr. Oden's new waltz ballad, "I Miss You So." The feature number of the program will be Mr. Oden's latest composition, "On the North Coast Limited," a sensational fox trot. The Universal Music Makers extend a cordial invitation to the Community to come out, assuring all an enjoyable evening. Investment Company of Local Men Ends Career The Eureka Investment company, an organization started May 15, by a group of local business men, was disbanded at a meeting Tuesday, September 21, according to O. J. Smith, attorney for the company. Unfair and unjustifiable taxation was given by Mr. Smith as the cause of the break-up. C. H. McDonald was president of the organization and E. O. Pearce was secretary. J. Smith, chairman of publicity. In order to avoid any feeling of selfishness on the part of the Minneapolis group, St. Paul has been given two of the principal offices on the executive committee, namely, that of vice president and publicity chairman. The chorus is also sponsoring a concert October 7, 1926, at Phyllis Wheatley House, presenting Madame Anita Patti Brown in an Evening of Song. At the present time the "chorus" is composed of 60 voices. During the three years of 1923, 1924 and 1925, Pennsylvania built 3,470 miles of roadway. --- "THE GOOD men do is oft interred with the bones," but even so, a clean reputation is a valuable asset to the living. PRICE FIVE CENTS $500 LAWSUIT TO BE BROUGHT BY ONE MOTHER Fraternity Consults University Officials Regarding Treatment in Oak Tree. Smith Gives Legal Aid "No Settlement to Be Made Out of Court," Mrs. George Gooden Says. As a result of refusal to serve five colored co-eds,' Robert Kanze, proprietor of The Oak Tree restaurant on Fourteenth St., just off the campus of the University of Minnesota, is facing a lawsuit which is being brought by Mrs. George Gooden, mother of one of the co-eds. Racial discrimination, undoubtedly due to the larger registration of colored students this year, and heretofore unheard of in any of the eating houses surrounding the campus has definitely raised its head at the university. Refused The Misses Rachel Gooden, Zelma Jackson, Marjorie Wormley, Beulah Stephens and Ruth Brown comprised the party. After having entered the restaurant and finding seats, the young ladies were told by the waitress that they could not be served there. "Why not?" they asked. "Because we have orders," the waitress replied. Manager Called The party asked for the manager, Robert Kanze, who immediately came. He told the group that it could not be served because of the public sentiment against such a practice which would be felt by his clientele. Under pressure he admitted that the specific cause of the refusal was the complaint made by two white women the week before when a colored couple was served in the restaurant. Mr. Kanze flatly refused to serve the party. Miss Gooden, senior academic student, reminded him that he was breaking a state law, and after a short controversy threatened suit. Fraternity Acts Refused service, there was nothing for the party to do but leave the restaurant embarrassed and humiliated amid the stares of curious white students. Two of the girls were in tears over the crude insult.

Press Service) Two colored editors of Louisville, Ky., I. Willis Cole and William Warley, editors, respectively, of the Louisville Leader and the Louisville News, faced trial at Madisonville, Ky., September 27, charged by the county attorney with libel. The alleged offense occurred in an editorial in which The Louisville Leader had condemned the double standard of justice prevailing in Kentucky, whereby a colored man charged with murder and assault had been promptly hanged whereas a white man charged with assault upon an 11-year-old colored girl had been declared insane without there having been any question of his guilt of the crime. The two editors are being tried for alleged violation of the "criminal syndicalism" and the "sedition" sections of Kentucky statutes, the county attorney declaring that the editorial in question "was designedly written to create race hatred." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has telegraphed Mr. Warley offering its assistance in the case. ```markdown ``` President and General Manager.....CYRUS L.

In open competition with white organizations recruited from the best families of the Middle West, this colored group of girls fairly ran away with the scholastic laurels of the past year. Here is an item which white psychologists, still muttering over the inferiority of the Negro, would do well to have framed and hung in their offices and laboratories. The local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, too, deserves commendation. It was the only one of the two recognized colored fraternities upon the campus which made a "C" average. This record should stimulate the other fraternal organization to greater mental alacrity in the coming year. It is to the co-eds, however, that the true laurels must be given. Their's is an enviable record which can be aimed at by themselves and by all other sororities in the coming years.

After all, th n, and somewhat conceited outlook. Many of the colored papers in the country have used the fact that comparatively few Negroes were killed in the recent storms in Florida to mean that white Florida is getting just retribution for its treatment of colored people in the state. Hardly so, we think, even though the evidence to a superstitious person is appallingly indicative. On the contrary, the attitude of one colored paper in the East which pointed out that the lesson the white man should have learned from the storm is that he, like nature, should be equally impartial in his treatment of race and religion, is a more sane one. The writer stated without this elaboration that blacks and whites, old and young, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, Ku Kluxers and others, were all hit by the effects of the storm. If one must draw a moral from this manifestation of nature, it seems much more sane to look at it with this broader point of view, that it is teaching a lesson in social treatment, not avenging the wrongs of a small part of one race. After all, the latter is a small, selfish, and somewhat conceited outlook.

That fact that they are being tried at all for the expression of editorial opinion shows that they are hard at work with lighted candles of impressive opinion in a dark room of warped sentiment.

Those who are bringing Warley and Cole to trial should remember that the easiest way to detract attention from any sentiment, no matter how radical (or how true) is to allow it freedom of expression.

From the very dawn of history it has played an important part in the progress of mankind. By the Semitic people, round which our history centers, the goat was highly esteemed. Its milk was considered delicous; its meat was food for guests. It is now a lover of men and unlike its relatives of the bovine world, it appreciates the association of humans—especially children—and never wanders off to solitary pastures as do the cows and sheep. It almost equals the dog for fidelity; certainly is on a par with the cow and sheep in utility. Many Adverse Reasons The editor had already that afternoon rejected the manuscripts brought by six poets, and consequently was not in a pleasant mood when the seventh of the breed of bards entered his office. "Here," said the versifier, handing a bulky manuscript to the editor, "is a poem that you cannot afford to ignore." The editor looked the verse over hurriedly. "Can't use it," he said abruptly. "Why not?" demanded the poet. "It's too long," the editor replied. "And besides, its too wide and too thick." Electricity for Belts Electricity now has been called into use in experiments to give loose belts a firm grip on the pulleys. Metal pulleys are coated with any smooth, hard and durable insulating substance, and the friction of the belt causes it to be charged with electricity on its inner surface. As the belt passes over the insulating coating, the metal of the pulley becomes charged by induction with electricity of the opposite pole, and strong attraction between belt and pulley is developed.

They are out of time, out of space, and not subject to circumstance. Thus, in the soul of man there is a justice whose retributions are instant and entire. He who does a good deed is instantly ennobled. He who does a mean deed is by the action itself contracted. He who puts off impurity thereby puts on purity. . . . If a man dissemble, deceive, he devalues himself, and goes out of acquaintance with his own being. Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls. The least admixture of a lie—for example, the taint of vanity, any attempt to make a good impression, a favorable appearance—will instantly vitiate the effect. But speak the truth, and all things alive or brute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there-do seem to stir and move to bear you witness. For all things proceed out of the same spirit, which is differently named love, justice, temperance, in its different applications, just as the ocean receives different names on the several shores which it washes.—Ralph Waldo Emerson. British Public Balked The meeting of the congress of the Royal Sanitary institute recalls the strong opposition which sanitary reformers once encountered. The Times in 1854 rejoiced that Chadwick had received a pension which would enable him to leave dirt and disease alone: "Aesculapius and Chiron, in the form of Mr. Chadwick and Doctor Southwood Smith, have been deposed, and we prefer to take our chance of cholera and the rest than to be bullied into health." Another complaint was that their activities had established "a perpetual Saturday night, and Master John Bull was scrubbed and rubbed and small-tooth-combed till the tears ran into his eyes, and his teeth chattered, and his fists clenched themselves with worry and pain." What would the writer of this protest say if he could see the public health service today? According to his standard by this time Master John Bull ought to have been washed altogether out of existence' and poured away with the soapsuds.—Manchester Guardian Weekly. Provinces "of Age" The two Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan attained their majority September 1. Each of these provinces is twenty-one years old. Prior to 1905 the area embraced by Alberta and Saskatchewan had the status of territories administered largely by the Canadian federal government. At that earlier date the combined population of Alberta and Saskatchewan was approximately 400,000. Now, according to a census taken by investigators employed by the Canadian Pacific railway, the combined population of these two provinces is 1,500,000. Since their birth as provinces the annual agricultural production for Alberta and Saskatchewan has increased from $40,000,000 to $785,000,000. Free!

Your Choice Green, Red Send for You Make checks paya White men who introduced the system of plotting land and the surveyor's methods of defining boundaries, brought with them to Samoa the white man's method of administering oaths. So, officially, the native Samoan places his hand upon the Holy Bible to swear that title to a certain piece of land belongs to him. But those who have lived there long know that, at heart, the native does not have the degree of fear when an oath is taken upon a Bible that he had for the old Samoan oath. Where grave issues are at stake he is apt to discard the modern form for the old one. While the old manner varied in the different villages the common rite was to take a bunch of grass and lay it on a stone or other object that represented the family or village god. The contesting parties would say with hand resting on the grass, "In the presence of this whole assembly, I lay my hand on the grass. If I have declared falsely may I suddenly die." It often happened that one making a false oath would be seized with superstitious fear that would overcome him or cause him to confess. The meaning of the grass was that, should the oath be false, he and his entire family be exterminated from the face of the earth and their habitat covered with grass. Sudden Jungle Quiet as Night Approaches There is some noise in the jungle all day long, according to African travelers, but just at nightfall it becomes oppressively quiet. Not a sound is to be heard for a while, but this does not last long, for all of a sudden there are many noises to be heard that were not experienced during the day. Jackaks begin to yelp and hyenas to howl, immediately followed by hundreds of other lesser denizens of the jungle. These noises keep up all night, approaching at times and then receding, so that the camper is kept at qui vive all the time, not knowing when some animal will poke its nose into his presence. Every other noise sinks into insignificance at the roar of the lion, which seems to shatter the atmosphere.—Chicago Journal.

Although Branch proved to be the wrong man, he was under the doctor's care for 18 days and out of work for a month as a result of the severe beating he was given. Stephens has earned a name for himself for his whipping of prisoners and suspects, and for his gunwork. Much feeling among colored citizens here has been excited because of the delaying of the trial. Few Are the Changes Kung on Literature The end of a tale told by Glimp, the Neolithic Bard, 'way back B. W. O. H. ("Wells" Outside of History): "And so Og-og married U-gug, and they lived happily ever after." The end of a tale told by Hassan All, the Bedouin story teller before the days when all the Arabs migrated to Hollywood: "And so Ramlih took Fatima in marriage, and they lived happily ever after." From the well known ode of Vichy, the bubbling troubadour: "And then, amid high rejoicing and welkin-ringing, did Sir Paddiegrief, hight Sir Griflepad for short, wed the fair lady Ysobel, hight five feet two inches; and the tayle tells that forever afterward they lived happily." The end of the novel by S. Oft Slush, the famous Victorian romance writer: "The sacred words were said. They were man and wife. Happily, happily did they live forever after." From "Garlic," by the realistic novelist, Arsenic L. Bite: "And so Pete, the stockbroker, undertook to pay the bridge debts of Anabel, the gay flapper. And they lived happily until they got into the train on their hymooney and she found that he had purposely left her airedale at home."—Kansas City Star.

Five Foreign Cars in 1926 for Every Two in 1921, Minnesota Highway Census for This Year Shows. Five foreign cars in Minensota in 1926 for every two that came in 1921, is the increase shown by the traffic census taken recently by the Minnesota Highway department. In other words, tourist traffic increased 149 per cent in five years. The number of cars passing the average census taker this year was 147, and only 56 in 1921. The actual number of cars carrying licenses from other states, counted during the seven days was 229.-567. This does not mean that there were that many visiting cars in the state at one time, a bulletin from the Highway department points out. On the average, checkers were 32 miles apart, and most tourists passed several stations. A tourist who averaged 100 miles per day would pass CAMPHOR M. E. CHURCH Special services at Camphor M.

No doubt many more than 700 miles in a week, but others take it leisurely, and may stop from a day to a month at favorite camping or fishing spots. Using 700 miles as the average for the week, there would be 10,435 foreign cars in the state at one time. The actual number was probably two or three times that great. Taking the reports of twenty-five stations on trunk highways ending at the state line, we find they counted a total of 55,286 foreign cars for the week. Assuming that an equal number were coming in and going out, we find that 27,643 foreign cars entered the state in one week. Some of these were Iowa, Wisconsin and Dakota cars on local trips. No estimate is available of foreign cars entering on county roads. This number is considerable, although it is largely local business, and the majority of long distance tourists enter the state on trunk highways.
