are under both. There is no law COM

the principle of law that one must

one who receives THE APPEAL is
expected to pay for it.

TIE NEGRO INDEPENDENT PRO
GRESSIVE CLUB OF HENNE-
PIN COUNTY,.
A EoreWord,

The Negro Independent Progressive
Club of Hennepin County is steadily
growing in membership, three hundred
bona tide certified members having al
ready enrolled with the secretary, At
torney VIM. H. H. Franklin.
Heretofore, the Negroes have taken
little or no interest in things political,
leaving such matters, practically, to
one or two men of the race. But now
through the efforts of this club, they
are awakening to their political posi-
bilities. They mean to be factor in
this, and in future campaigns by
means of this organization, for this is
Intended to be permanent body.
The purposes of the club are to fur
Their the political advancement of the
Negro; to interest all bona fde voters
of the county in the proper candi-
dates; to see that each qualified voter
does vote, both at the primaries and
at the general election, and that he
votes for the right men; distribute
necesessary literature for the proper
candidates, and enhance their inter-
ests as much as possible; and, finally,
to combat the erroneous impression
that obtains. to some extent (among a
certain class of candidates) that one
man, or select circle of men, carry the
votes Of the Negroes of this county in
his or their vest pocket. They are in
dependent and consider themselves
qualified to judge Of the merits or de-
merits of each respective candidate,
and will not trust to blind leadership
Each and every voter, in becoming a
member of this club, thereby asserts
his independence of judgment, and the
right to exercise that judgment. .
"The men who help us, and will ad-
vance our interests, collectively, are
the men for whom We will work" is
the slogan of the club. t...>s
No candidate will be Endorsed by
this club without two-thirds vote of
it's members.
The officers of the club are as fol-
lows S. G. Phillips, president; Ralph
Watson, treasurer; Charles Sumner
Smith, editor Twin City STAR" chair
man of executive committee; w. H. H.
Franklin, attorney-at-law, 1920 Metro

Dickens did not know that he was preaching sermon the 'Esimple Ife'' when he wrote that sentiment
 The simple life had not been discovered then. In deed most of think it discovered in the present cade by gentleman named Wagner, but little reading will prove that idea error.
 In most of Dickens works there is desire to show the faults and faacies of pretentousness He breaches simplicity of living and dressing, of thought and feeling
 We do better than to consider what he says and reft 1t to present needs.
 We nearly all of us living up to a false ideal
 Fathers and mothers toll that the children shall life easier than they had it, forgetting that the very hard ships make for strength.
 Girls must have clothes often and as fne as the girls they go with, they lose caste.
 Boys must have plenty of pocket money, they not keep in the best society,"
 What is this shibboleth of best society talked of freely among young people? the al? The most ambitious? The most studous at school
 fear it is ndhe of these things It is the the prettest cothes the best dancers the finest motor the dweler in the lavish homes short have made measuring standard of society," money-and not all it means.
 No consistently despise money. It brings with the chance for real sef-culture Itnean opportunity for much good and great happiness. gentle manners kindly thought and high ideals would build up nation that would command the admiration the world
 But this ideal of money and show will make us a mockng and by-WOrd if we do not check it in time.
 And doubt not that if succeed i've will be in fnitely more agreeable company than are.''

sumes the responsibility of seeing that the traveller reaches the proper desti- nation
 Agents representing the society are constantly in attendance at the Grand Central and Pennsylvania stations While the society feels that it's most important work is for young women and girls, men, women and children Of every age and nationa ity are also helped. In many eases the railroad officials cooperate with the society. All 1n-coming transatlantic steam ships carrying first and second class passengers (steerage are cared for by the goyernment) are met at the piers by agents of the society to advise or conduct travellers needing their assist ance to trains or to their destina tions in the city. Rooms are reserved at headquarters to shelter needy travel CTS in emergency without charge. Steamships frequently bring young women to be married. any cases of this kind are turned over to the so- ciety by the government officials and it becomes the business of our agents to see that legal marriage takes
 Over 35,OO0 persons representing thirty-two nationaIities and spea kin g thirty-nine languages and dialects, have been helped in the last six years. For the past year the number has av- eraged over 1000 month, the major ity of whom were women under thirty travelling alone. The woman who has lost her purse containing all her mon ey and tickets to a distant point or who has been defrauded by sharpers and left penniless in a strange city, the young girl with the wrong ad- dress, which would have meant at least great moral danger, the old wo- man confused and unable to find her friends, the boy separated from his pro tector and lost; and the woman with small children, are examples Of those who stand in need of and receive the assistance of the Travellers Aid So- ciety.
 The society is not a commercial en- terprise in any sense and it's services are free, irrespective of race, color, creed, class or sex. The work is no longer an experiment, If even a small percentage of the large number aid ed. had fallen into the hands of an interruptions person, it would have been a calamity to the country as well as to the individuals
