COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
/ never like to make an unfav-
orable public criticism of persons or
their utterances but when one essays
to give information on any subject
and makes statements which are SO
grossly inaccurate as to seem al
most malicious, refutation becomes
necessary for the public good.

the renowned st. Marks Church

THE BISHOP SPEAKS OUT.

Believes Book will Work Great
Change.
Bishop l. B. Scott of the great A.
M. E. Church having completed the
reading of "Wisdom's Call" the latest
book written by Sutton E. Griggs, has
given his opinion of the same. Bishop

ing travelled the country over. He
was at one time President of Wiley

an ex-editor of The Southwestern
Christian advocate.
This letter is as follows:

profit the little book entitled wis
dom's Call" which l purchased from
you a few days before left Nashville.
| desire to say that I consider it one
of the most remarkable discussions
of the relations of the races in this
country that | have ever read. l
believe that it will change conditions
in the South if it were read by any
considerable number or the leaders or
that section. am so much convinced
of this that I am perfectly willing to
unite with those who feel disposed
to do, to purchase one or two hundred
copies for free distribution in the
South.
My plan would be to send these
copies to the leading Editors and
some few of the Southern Statesmen
and thinkers. Personally | wish to
thank you for the book and sincerely
trust that you may more than realize
what must have been your hope in
writing this volume.
Yours sincerely,

They Forget the Beginning.


During the years that have passed
since the shackles of slavery were
broken from the Negroes in this
country there have been many at
tempts by members Of the race to do
things on q large scale. Some have
been in the line of charitable institu-
tons, others as personal undertake
ings and still others as organizers Of
the forces of societies, churches and
other agencies. Many of these have
succeeded, and it is also true that
many have been failures.
Some of the promoters of these en-
terprises started out with great am
b:tion and pure motives. Others
started with the avowed intention Of
defrauding their unlettered and sup
erstitious brethren. Many of the
promoters of these schemes knew in
the beginning that there was con-
stituency awaiting their announce
ment, and ready to receive whatever
proposition submitted to them that
appeared to be for the betterment Of
the Negro race. In most cases, the
organizers of these undertakings
have been as raw and inexperienced
as the people to whom they were to
submit their propositions; neverthe.
less, there are to-day in many parts
of our country monuments that will
stand to the memory of those promo
tiers for centuries to come. When a
true history is given of the achieve.
ments of the American citizens, the
pioneer Negro will take his place
with the pioneers of all nationalities
But after giving all the praise that
il due such individuals, 1t must be
admitted that many Of them were
the creatures of circumstances They
did not have to face trained and
shrewd competition, but everybody Of
every nationality and every creed
was ready to give them all the ad
vice and aid in their power.
The part of all of this affair that II
regrettable is that many Of these In
dividuals, after they have reached g
point that appears to be permanent

their support comes and turn or
their friends to crush and belittlt
them. In this day we find grea

individual or for the general benefit o
all the people. They are first demand
ing that the man be qualified to d
what he undertakes to do, and thel
that he be honest and just to his fel

Minot trotted away with the big
end of the score in the game with Will
liston. The final count was Is to 7.
Despite the fact that they were play
ing on foreign field Coach Anderson's
bunch were up and coming from the
sound of the whistle, and within ten
minutes of play they had scored a
touchdown on the City of Opportunity.
Capt. Murphy showed rare form as
also did Giest. Murphy carried the
ball over the line for two touchdowns
while Gest was tn hero of one.
Giest made some dandy end runs and
proved as slippery as an eel.
Williston's scores were made with
one touchdown, which came in the
first quarter and safety in the last
quarter. They played hard, but were
outclassed, and while the rooters VINO
were on the field in swarms cheered
them on, they could not overcome the
gains made by the Magicians.
The Williston crowd have been pre-
pairing for the Minot game all season
and their defeat was bitter pill. They
showed themselves good sportsmen,
however, and took their loss in the
proper spirit. Following the game a
banquet and reception was rendered

high school and general all around
time was had which greatly cemented
the feeling of good fellowship between

half which is usually a distinct adj
vantage. Their first score came as q
result OF a tumble by Kenmare, the
second through q recovered point and
the third by blocked kick behind
Kenmare's own goal line. % y ~
Kenmare's came directly as result
Of holding Minot for downs and then
pushing the ball over by end runs.
Minot excelled Kenmare in the exc.
cution of the forward pass and in
punting, but could not gain consistent
-ly by straight football Kenmare on
the other hand, went around the .Iinot
ends for long gains. Their interior
ence was excellent and their defense
far better than Minot's. During the
entire game Kenmare gained fully
three times the ground Minot did,
and held them for downs twice to Mi
not's holding them once. The Ken
mare boys were in the game all the
time and deserve great credit for the
showing they made against a team &C
knowledged to be one of the best in
the state.
