and led by the people themselves:
Secretary W. Monroe Trotters call is
all the more liberal. 1t has also been
announced that New York and Brook
lyn will send several representatives
to the meeting armed with facts hith
erto not published on movements inim
ical to our race.
No better place could be selected for
holding such meeting than at the M
tons capital. No better time could
have been decided upon than the date
here announced. The geographical 10
cation is very significant. From Wash
ington. almost in direct line, is Ap-
pomattox Court House. In Virginia
where the proud Lee was forced to
surrender his army after long war to
the wise and sagacious Grant. the
Napoleon of the northern army. And.
again. as q royal reminder to those
who think lightly about our nativity
and citizenship in this country. there
Is jamestown. Va. whose historic sig
nificance is too well known with ref
erence to the colOred American to need
any comment whatsoever
These points of national import
ought to afford the delegates to the
congress and those who deliver ad
dresses both inspiration and ammuni-
ton with which to make comparisons
on the status Of the race at various
times. beginning at jamestown cen
turies ago. then lead up to Appomat-
tOX. and then behold what manner of
segregation with which the race is sur
rounded at the citadel Of freedom and
liberty.
The Rev. MIR. Gunner i'll the final
call says: ~ appeal to our people in
all sections to come together in a na-
tional congress of colOred Americans
to voice the feelings and views Of the
race on the shameful conditions sur
rounding US and to decide upon the
most effectuaI ways and means for
combating color segregation and all
other forms nf color discrimination
now practiced against us.
"The very general and earnest re-
sponse which the preliminary call. is
sued more than u month ago. has re
ceived Is both gratifying and encOur-
aging. Particularly gratifying has been
the favorable attitude Of the cOlOred
newspapers toward this timely move
ment. The cOlOred press seems to be

Called to New DISQUALIFICATION Civ.
en- in His Honor Thursday
Evening

Rev. FIR. Hopdegard, who has lab
ored in this parish for the past elev-
en- years, was suddenly called to
new parish at Superior. It has been
necessary to make a number of
changes in the diocese on account of
the deaths Of several priests. FIR.
Hopdegard during his stay in River
Falls has established bonds Of friend
ship by his kindness and gentleness
of heart than will never be broken.
Last Thursday evening a large
number of his Catholic and Protes-
tant friends gathered at his resi-
dence in order to extend a farewell
greeting to the departing priest. A
fine supper was served, after which
tokens of remembrance were pre-
sented to him by his many Catholic
and Protestant friends who hold him
in high esteem. The Normal Cath
olic association of about ninety mem
bers were nearly all present and pre-
sented him with a gold cross with
the inscription N. G. A. '16 engraved
upon it. 1t was given as a symbol
of the gratitude and appreciation of
the many kindnesses and services
rendered them to make the society
success. FIR. Hopdegard carries the
best wishes Of a host Of friends and
admirers into his new field.

Thursday has been chosen as the
day for the annual Junior-Senior pic
mic. Both classes will be excused for
the day and will start for the lake at
$50. All members Of each class are
looking forward to that day, and,
weather permitting, a good time will
be enjoyed by all.
The contest held in the Normal
auditorium turned out to be just as
interesting and exciting as it was ex-
pected to be. In the Oratorical con-
test, the Neillsville speaker won first
place, with Ed. Rock, our speaker,
third. The Cumberland girl won
first in the Declamatory contest in
the evening. These speakers will
represent this district at the state
contest to be held later in the month.
The only thing that could be re-
GREETED about the contest this year
is, that there was not more out to
enjoy it.
The baseball team has now played
it's first round Of games and has
come out on top in every game. Last
Saturday the team journeyed to
Spring Valley to play the high school
team Of that place and without the
aid of our regular pitcher, who did
not go in until the sixth inning, sue
ceeded in winning 7-2. Yesterday
they went to Hudson and in very
exciting and loosely played game
came out the victors in a 9-8 score.
Having won one game from each
team that is to be played, the pros
poets for an indicated season is
very good.

The Third Year class and the Sophie
mores each made 6 points. This
event was considered to be the event
which had much to do with the win
ming of the Swenson trophy this
year. For that reason a great deal
of class spirit was shown in the out
come of the different events. The
members of the Normal track squad
which is to meet Stout at Menomonie
next Saturday, were selected from
the winners in the inter-class meet.
This caused strong Individual COM
petition. For this reason the meet
this year was one Of the most sue

been held on the Normal athletic
field. Following is list of the

her refuses to be listed on an In
definite proposition. Many people
write seriously and ask if we want
war. | do not believe many mem
bers want war and in fact the pro-
portion at this writing appears small
indeed. A situation might occur
where complications would take
sane men off their feet, as has been
the case with prior wars, but al
though one mans judgment may
be as good as another, do not be-
lieve any one would hold that cause
for war exists today with any of the

there is no reason for war, nor for
war talk at this time.
Uncle Joe Cannon had his 80th
birthday last week and a goodly
number of members paid their re-
spects to the old Roman. When
formerly Speaker Of the House he
was the center of a storm circle but
today he takes legislation easily,
discussing public questions when
ever the spirit moves and taking a
sort of fatherly interest in the new
er members. | do not believe any
of his old antagonists on either side
of the aisle bear him i'll will and pre-
sumo next to Champ Clark he is the
most popular man in Congress. For
tv years service has a melloWing eff
feet that causes old time animositles
to quickly fade away. In fact, while
discussion is sometimes vigorous be-
tween members, and feelings are
aroused in much the same manner
that lawyers contest in law suit,
such differences either in politics or
otherwise leave few sore spots.
Without any compromise OF prlncl-
pie or Of belief on the part OF diff
ferent members, they usually agree
to disagree and then take up the
next question with open minds so
far as past legislation is concerned.
A bill carrying $51, 100000 for

open for future appropriations OF
several times that amount. In the
Judgment of the writer it will DO

control, but will make fair picking

preparations. This expression is tax
