TALK OF A FRAMEUP.

Attorney Harry L. Scott has &C
cused Editor Smith of a frame-up
on Montgomery. When Mr.. Mont
gomery was in Jail, Editor Smith
called up Rev. v. S. Cooper, Attorney
w. R. Morris and Proprietor Ander.
son of the North Side Cafe, to in.
form them of his misfortune Mont
gomery was arrested in the First Ma.
tional Bank of st. Paul, and Smith
had nothing to do with any informa-
ton causing his arrest. The record
of Mr.. Montgomery. is, and has been
for long time, in the hands of proper
authorities for investigation, also his
books. papers and stationery show his
activities. Even on the night before
his arrest he presented an invitation
to Captains Smith and Hilyer of the
Home Guard, inviting them to appear
with their companies at Rev. Cooper's
church. Rev. Cooper denies having
written or authorized the invitations.
This was Mr.. Montgomery's frame
up. We do not apologize for any
part taken in this affair. If Mont
gomery was unjustly imprisoned It
appears that Attorney Scott could get
legal redress, and such action would
do more to vindicate his client than
the abuse Of persons, who acted with
in their rights. The donors to the
projects of Mr.. Montgomery have not
dropped his case. IT'S true, he caught
a lot of suckers, and many won't
prosecute. There is no record that
Editor Smith had asked any person
to appear against him. Mr.. Mont
gomery cant deny his prison record,
and it is evident that he specialized
in arranging the financial part of
every proposition, in which he is
interested. The fact that Editor Smith
checked up his effects, that he could
not give bond, that he was in jail
a week, show that there were reason
able grounds for his arrest. The
Star advises Attorney Scott to re-
view the copies of his correspond.
ence, and find therein letter he
sent to Editor Smith IN reference to
action against Mr.. Montgomery. Scott
is fighting for supremacy in the
legal field, and wants to climb to the
top of the profession, regardless of
ethics, when he has never had a real
case at bar in these courts. He is
an able speaker and should have more
consideration for himself then to
commit professional suicide. He has
our pity, and will receive a full re.
port, if he intends to run the Star
out of town." After you, my dear
young and egotistic candidate.

The Mu-So Choral club under the
direction of w. G. jeffrey gave its
first concert at Pillsbury Settlement
house Wednesday evening of last
week and from every point of view
it was a decided success. From an
artistic standpoint in its shading,
phrasing, precision of attack and re-
lease, and all the. attention to detail
that goes to make a successful choral
organization it showed the result of
careful training and preparation. An
audience that one seldom sees out,
comfortably filled the auditorium and
showed it's appreciation by generous
applause after each number.

THE NEGRO IN ST. PAUL

When l received the invitation to

by two powerful emotions, and, para

Fear born of the knowledge that I

These places, however, are not all
small and insignificant as the rents
range from $500 to $2500o per
month, the lowest amount being paid
for shoe shining parlor and the
highest for pantorium. We are al
so proud of the fact that within the
past year Negro saloons in st. Paul
decreased fifty per cent, the other
one having closed short time ago.
While our color has been a severe
handicap in the matter of securing
employment in clerical and skilled
lines, we now hold and have held for

that capacity.

STAY ON THE JOB
UNTIL IT5S OVER
Soldiers Will Need More Than Ever
Ministering Influences Of
United War Work
Organizations.

I Keokul1 people must remember
that war work is not over with the
signing of an ar1nistice. 1t took two
years to get our army Of two million
men overseas, and it will take many
months to get them all home.
An emphatic appeal comes from
Washington that everyone now doing
war work stay on the job until it is
finished
This applies in a very particular
sense to the activities Of the united
war work, since they will sustain the
morale of the soldiers during the
period when they are most likely to
be restless and homesick.
All the city has gone wild today
at the news of the ending OF the
war. All who took part in the great
demonstration felt the current OF
thankfulness that was shown by
everyone.
It showed the great value placed
upon the boys over there.
Now that hostilities have ceased,
the soldiers will need more than
ever the ministering efforts Of the
seven agencies in the united war
drive.
That Keokuk will stand by the
boys until they are safe at home, is
certain by the enthusiasm shown
today in celebrating the cessation Of
fighting.
