BULL FIGHTERS EXPECT
 SEASON BE PROSPEROUS

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27.-Bullfight- ing in Mexico City during the coming season is going to be on bigger and better scale than ever, according to the impresarios who are to handle the arena events.
 The pick of world matadors. includ- ing the best in Spain, is to come to Mexico. Rodolfo Gaona, idol of his countrymen here, is the recognized lace" of the fighters, and with him will be associated Ignacio Sanchez Mejias, Juan Belmonte, Luis Freg, Juan Silveti, and other stars.
 Throughout the past summer there has been much newspaper agitation against the high salaries paid the fighters, which has resulted in almost exorbitant prices being demanded for tickets. As a result the matadors will receive slightly less this fall and win ter, but even so Gaona will collect some 12,O00 pesos every afternoon he appears in the ring, with the privilege of benefit performance which is al ways good for an additional 100000 pesos. The season opens this month.

URGES BETTER CARE
 AM. YOUTH

Expressing his faith in the youth of the country despite the "flippancy of the igarette-smoking, cocktail-drink- ing flapper," James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, urged the need of greater concern for the care of children and their mothers and the elimination of child labor when he addressed large gathering at the dedication of the new home of the Atlantic City Lodge of Moose, says the New York Times
 I've hear much of evil tendencies among our girls and boys, of erotic conversations and literature in our schools and homes, of devotion to amusements that are unhealthful for soul and body, of exuberance of youth turned to outbursts of sophisticated q have supreme faith in the youth of the land and in the mothers of America
 "These evils are disturbing" con- tnued MT. Davis, "but 1 will tell you what stirs every latent fear in my heart and soul. I will tell you what prompts me to consecrate my life and work to the success of childhood. It is these things:
 "Two hundred and fifty thousand American babies snatched by death from their mothers breasts every year before they have had time scarce ito open their unseeing eyes upon the world about them.
 Half million children, so-called defectives and delinquents, growing up almost totally neglected.
 "A million and half American boys and girls bent beneath the burden of premature toll in mine and mill and factory before they have sensed the duties and privileges of humanity.
 "The Supreme Court has set aside two Federal laws designed to correct this child labor evil. In the light of it's cold reading of the Constitution and the laws I have no doubt it was right. But likewise I am confident that under the Constitution and the laws the people of the United States can find way to eradicate the evil. State laws can correct it and many states have adequate laws. To make 1 the reformation wide and sure we have always the recourse of amend ing the Constitution, and for one am confident that this remedy will be in- voked."

A New York writer who comes from Mississippi went back to his old home this summer for a visit. He was particularly anxious to see a darky named Prince, who had formerly worked for the family. He was informed that Prince was run ming a barber shop for the negro trade.
 The writer called at the barber shop and Prince met him at the door with a big welcome, saying that his business was doing wonderful.

MARINES TO STAY IN HAITI

Now we have it. Uncle Sam will remain in Haiti
ruling with iron hand and many shot shell as may
be necessary to maintain law and for the Hal
tans who are mot capable of government" This is
the substance of the of the Mccormick Committee
whose visit to the little country ordered after the
embarrassing reports of American practices had
been laid before the United States Senate Senator Nc
Cormick OF Illinois the leading spirit back
port and the ttular head of the committee
AS was expected, the committee found that the re-
ports OF barbarities committed by American Marines
were very much-very much-overdrawn. It was ad-
mtted, however that there were few undue
cruelty and few Haitians killed without Justification
But as extenuating it Is reported the
killings were due rather to the methods fighting than
to wlful and deliberate the part of the Mar
ines
Taken as a whole. the report justifes Uncle Sam in
his past actions and continue in the
future to regulate the little island, lest be some
violation of the Monroe Doctrine. Poor Monroe!
Say what we will about the occupation, there is
strong opinion against the heavy hand of Uncle Sam in
the Haitian territory Leopold ruled the Congo
but Belgium more than paid for every atrocy and
der. The Germans exaeted eye for an eye and for
piece of ivory taken by Leopold from the Congo
people, the Germans took human life in their mad
march toward France The law Of compensation is not
dead.
If there is just cause for occupation of Haiti,
then let rule like Americans, and not like blood
thirsty pirates seeking advantage helpless people
This country has nothing gain by abusing her power
over the Haitians She has everything to If

ARTHUR BRISBANE ON HARVARD
--Afro-Americar
By William Pickens
(For Associated Negro Press)

The specious argument is often difficult to detect
Arthur Brisbane with the evident of justfying
Harvard in limiting the Jews cites opinion this
effect: That if the Jews should found university in
Jerusalem foster ideals and should find that
the Arabs were crowdng into that university in such
large numbers to endanger those ideals the Jews
might want exclude limit those Arabs, forth
and
How we do reason" or ''ratocinate" as Prof Rob-
inson might say, when have prejudice defend
There is parallel whatever hypothetical
university for Jewish ideals in Jerusalem Harvard
University, which is not for any particular religion
ideals but for the advancement of and know
ledge Besides the weakening effect of Mr.. Brisbanes
If his argument has the further illogicalty that he
seeks to confound the idea of university for special
religious racial purposes with the idea great
university like Harvard oxford. which pretends to
for the general purpose of advancing civilization and
learning.
He need not have gone in mind to Jerusalem; he
might have stayed right here in America and said truly:
'If the Methodiss should found institution to teach
Methodism they would not Baptists to take pos
session of it, OF course, they would not.
be institution not to teach science and art but Meth
odism." But how would the Methodsts seek to main
tain the ascendancy of their ideals such instu-
ton? Not by excluding Baptsts students, but by
keeping Methodists teachers and officers So far
the student body concerned the Baptiss the
better, for they would be in need of learning
university in Jerusalem teach Jewish Ideals"
not reasonably object to teaching those ideals
Arabs cared to and learn them along with the
Jewish students and under the instruction of Jewish
authorities and teachers"
But is Harvard racial religion (note we do not
say religious)-a racial religion institution? We
thought it American institution and a world uni
versty. An American Jew should be Disseminated
against certainly not in the studentshp,
versty. There is no such thing Jewish algebra

Jewish religion and there is whole multitude of Cen

OUT FOR ITS TEACHING FORCE, but admit any stu

ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA

Last week committee of citizens appeared be-
fore the State Industrial Commission to protest
the establishment of a separate employment bur-
eau for Negroes to be supported by the state. The
committee informed the commission that the es-
tablishment of separate employment bureau
would serve no other purpose than to create a
"jim-crow" condition and that the citizens of ST.
Paul did not want it. On the other hand they
pointed out the good that could be done if a Col
ored man worked from the general office where he
would be in constant contact with the general en-
ployment situation.
There is no doubt in our opinion, that trained
Coored man working from the established offices
would not prove valuable, and we urge the COM
mission to give the proposition every considera-
tion The establishment of a separate employ
ment bureau, however, is absolutely unnecessary
and uncalled for. 1t will breed segregation and we
do not want it.
If the Twin City Ministers Alliance, where we
understand the proposition originated and was
sanctioned before it was carried to the Industrial
Commission, would consult representative citizens
of st. Paul and Minneapolis to learn of their opin-
ions, before taking any radical steps in civic mat
ters, possibly results to the advantage of the race
could be obtained without divided 'front.' such
as was the case in this employment bureau affair
Such situation does not profit us anything. There
must be more solidarity Of purpose among us.

PRESIDENTIAL WISHBONE

If Mr.. President Harding has few drops of colored
blood in his veins, the Scandal Book s14 volume
alleges these few drops operate to him pushing

eral millions of darker voters who voted to place him in
Office.
There have been more splits and evidences of dis
satisfaction in the Republican Party President
Harding than other Republican president of the past
twenty-five years Part of this is due to the progress
OF the colored people who growing and more
impatient with Republican promises but also part is due
to Mr.. Harding, who sits in the White House like a
Sphinx and says nothing.

NELSON'S SELECTION

Mayor Nelson's selection and appointment of
Mr.. S. Ed Hall to represent the Colored citizens
of ST. Paul on his Advisory Board, in our opinion,
is good one In Mr. Hall, we believe we have a
man capable of representing us intelligently and
creditably. We feel that his services to this COM
munty have already been valuable AS first pres
ident of Union Hall Association, manager of the
Helper Employment bureau, member of Pilgrim
Baptist church and the Sterling Club and various
other organizations, he has proved himself worthy
of representing our group. We have found him
always ready to assist our people in securing en-
poyment and active in charitable work of all Sorts
In matters of civic Importance, his opinion, his
advice has always been sought not only by men,
bers of our group but by men who have found his
counsel sound and good.
We urge our citizens to give Mr.. Hall their
hearty cooperation and support that the position
might receive its due recognition for after all what
he does with the appointment is what you allow
him to do.
We thank Mayor Nelson for the consideration
and congratulate him on his selection.

Old dears, I write this beneath the

God bless emil, because sizing
them up helps me get local color
for these chats with you. And since

head that has passed has interested
me. Much to my disappointment,
some of the coiffures are all covered
up, but thank Heavens, there are
plenty bare heads left! BY the way,
some independent young coed has
revived the japanese umbrella style,
and the bareheads, under the gaily
colored paper shades, grow more nu-
merous each day. There are many

a caricature instead of the fair young
thing you hoped to be mistaken for.
And no matter how you wear it, long
or short, be sure it looks like hair,
and not mattress stuffing or wet rope
or tobacco strippings or some of the
things I've seen hair resemble. OF
course, you keep it clean, but not too
clean, for there is such a thing as
being too clean, you know. And you
do brush it, but you don't tear the
scalp up in your zeal, do you? And
you do not torture it by twisting it
too tightly, do you? And, oh please,

Of oil! An English student was ask
ing me about a girl on the campus

ing and no end jolly, but every time

perspiring, good-natured operator
who gossiped necessarily as she
