CLASSMATES REPUDlATE DIS
ELIMINATION,

Students in the political science
department of the University of Min
nesota are not willing to have racia
determinations made in classes. They
repudiated the action of Professor
jeremiah Young, who omitted the
name of Willard Morrow, a colorec
student, when he was assigning seats
in alphabetical order, by voting tx
permit Morrow to take his place ir
alphabetical sequence with the Other
students.
Professor Young told Morrow hi
could take a seat at either side OF
in the rear of the room. Morrow
protested that he should be allowed
to be seated as the others, threaten
ing to quit the class. He appealed
to his fellow students. Professor
Young, filled with an unholy preju
dice, at first refused to accede, but
the matter was put to a vote and
the students decided that Morrow
should be seated by alphabetical Sc.
qeunce. Good! .... b..

Mr.. HARDlNG'S CHANCE.

For eight years one-twelfth of the
citizenry Of the United States suffer
ed from the humiliation of segrega-
ton in the civil service of the coun-
try. 1t was a condition forced by
President Wilson, who while deliver
ing his smooth talks about world
democracy, used his great. power to
humiliate and degrade millions of his
fellow countrymen. ....
Wilson considered himself a super
man, and his ambition was to be the
president of a super government and
go down in history as the greatest
man who ever lived. Repudiated at
the ballot box by his countrymen, he
is today, according to all accounts a
physical wreck. And as he sits in
his easy chair, his keen intellect is
tortured by the spectres of his de-
feated ambitions.
Mr.. Harding, you have the pow
err to wipe out the President Wilson's
great wrong to the colored people.
You have stated on many occasions
that you believe in equality Of citi-
zenship. You have the power to is
sue an executive order abolishing
segregation in the departments at
Washington and in the Civil Service
of the United States.
Will you do it, Mr.. Harding?

MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH..
Under the Successful Administration
y of Rev. r. j. Carr. F.,


Of Rev. r. J. Carr. -
Memorial Baptist Church was or
gained in August, 1914, by a number
of it's present members, who called
Rev. E. HI. Mcdonald to it's pastorate
Under his leadership the present
property was secured, pews were pur-
chased and $4,000 were paid on the
debts of the church, which was a
splendid record for his short pastor
ate The work began to lag, how
ever, and Rev. Mcdonald accepted a
call. to Pittsburgh, Pa. Through his
recommendations, call was rendered
to Rev. T. j. Carr, who, at that time
was general missionary for the Iowa
Baptist Association. In an effort to
retain his services the Association in
creased his salary; but, following the
Lords direction, he accepted the call
to Memorial and entered it's pastor
ate, more than four years ago. When
he. came, the church was struggling
under debts amounting to over $4,000,
many of these debts were urgently
demanding immediate attention. These
debts, with accruing interest, in
creased to more than $1,000, all of
which have been paid and the mort
gage on the property has been can
celed and burned. s-
The church now has handsome
bank account and no debts whatever.
The membership of the church has
more than doubled in the last three
years; and, for constructive work,
Memorial stands in the front rank.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the faithful members of this
church, or the friends who have work.
ed with them. During this month,
the church has surpassed all previous
records in Sunday school and prayer
| meeting attendance, and in the num-
Der taking the Holy Communion.
Rev. T. j. Carr received his literary
and theological training at Roger
Williams University, Nashville, Tenn,
which he entered at the age of 16
and remained until he was %. He
holds two literary and theological
diploma from this school
He built the. best house Of worship
Of the race in the state Of Kansas,
and at the same time held the chair
Of mathematics in the Topeka Indus
trial Institute. II
In various capacities he has served
the race with eminent success. In
early life he edited a newspaper at
Clarksville, Tenn, and was elected to
the legislature Of Tennessee, but was
counted out by the Democrat machine.
He is now vice president of the
National Baptist Convention for Min
nesota, and president Of the Twin
City Inter denominational Ministerial
Alliance. He is affable and unassum-
ing, and attributes his success to the
guidance and help Of Almighty God. +
