Lest We Forget
Our Duty to All

We often find ourselves wondering
why the progressiveness of the race
is seemingly retarded. II we would
adhere to the policy of helping our
less fortunate when possible we
could do much toward permanent
advancement.
We pride ourselves In st. Paul as
having men and women who actually
do things for the race which at all
times have proved to be beneficial.
AS race we should appreciate what
they are doing, give them encour-
aging words, boost at every angle.
thus showing that their efforts have
not been in vain. We feel sure that
most of our readers are Of this cali
bre. But when we do things worth
while for the race don't let us forget
that there are many other men and
women who are capable of holding
and performing the same duties az
we can.
Let US be broad enough wherever
opportunity presents itself In the diff
ferent appointments and positions in
civic circles and ectcetra to recon-
mend those who are willing to bend
every effort to make good. BY %

Censures u. S.

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Havana, Cuba, Aug. 10.-"America
has long way to go before she at
tains a place as a cosmopolitan ma
tion," said a member of the Cuban
Congress today in discussing the re-
turn of Ambassador Crowder to the
United States. AS a means of aiding
governmental finances. a national lot
terry was established, although vigor-
ously opposed by Ambassador Crowd
er, who has been accused of attempt
ing to direct Cuban affairs. The Gu
ban Congress at the same time adopt
ed a resolution which Washington is
said to regard as distinctly anti
American. 1t is pointed out that
American methods have failed to
please Hayti, Porto Rico, the Filipi-
nos, or any Of the latin countries she
has endeavored to govern, according
to American ideas and the reason is
said to be that most Americans re-
gard these colored peoples as inferior.
1t has appeared advisable to call Gen.
Crowder home to give complete un-
derstanding of the situation.

GAVE ADDRESS AT VETS
HOSPITAL LAST APRIL
Change in Klan Activities Ex-
pected to Result From New
Chief Executive.
tBy the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 10.-Spec-
ulation as to the eventual outcome in
the Tuskegee hospital situation, as
INDUCED in this, the capital city of
the proud commonwealth of Ala
bama, has been intensified since the
elevation of Calvin Coolidge to be
President of the United States. Pres
ident Coolidge, then Vice-president,
delivered the principal address at the
dedication of the Tuskegee Veterans
hospital last April and his interest In
the progress and welfare Of the hos
pital Is said to be keen. In view OF
the fact that the most outstanding
incident in President Coolidge's ca
reer has been the sternness with
which he upheld law and order in the
Boston policemen's strike, even the
Ku Klux are regarding him doubtfully
and wondering what might happen II
thew again attempted 10 show the SUI
periority of the fiery cross over the
u. s. government.
Ignored Protest.
An interesting story has been going
the rounds of the cordial and sympa-
thetic attitude displayed by Mr.. Cool
idge when he spoke at the dedication
of the hospital early in the spring.
It seems that Governor Brandon who
now occupies Office on Capitol Hill,
where "Jeff" Davis once held forth
here in the cradle of confederacy was
also on the program. The governor,
who is reputed to have been mule
skinner" driving couple OF Ala
bama beauties hitched to a street
car in a city near here few years
ago, and who is popularity known as
"Bin' Brandon, the mule driver,
throughout the state. is said to have
stormed and fumed because a Negro
appeared on the program ahead OF
him and to have devoted consider
able part of his speech to protest at
the slight. Later he went with the
yice-president to have his photograph
made at the base of the famed monu-
ment of Booker T. Washington. Mr.
Coolidge called to DR.. Motion and in
a voice loud enough to be heard by
all those about, asked him to stand
on his right side. while the governor
was placed on his left. "I want to
give this picture to my sons at home'
he said. And so the governor OF
Alabama was photographed with
black man.
Hines Meets Committee.
Advices from Washington indicate
that while General Hines listened to
the plan proposed by the white COM
mittee of the town Of Tuskegee, who
conferred with him in Washington
last Friday, he has decided to order
the colored ward doctors who already
have been selected to report for duty.
Mr.. Calhoun, the disbursing officer,
has already returned and has been
received with marked courtesy by the
officials who formerly rebuffed him.
General Hines is said to have re-
marked Just before President Hard
ing's passing that he knew the Presi-
dent desired full colored personnel
and that the plan would be. carried
out.

Work on the paving of Rondo
Street has begun following the fav-
orable passing of the bond issue by
the city council. Credit to the paving
project is largely attributed to the
work of the local Business League.
Last winter when the deplorable
condition of Rondo Street was real
lied by the local body, steps were
made to secure early action from the
city council. So splendid an impress
sion was made by these men on the
council body that promises to repair
the street was made. Rondo is now
being paved from Western Avenue
to Dale street. Congratulations to
the Business League.

CARNIVALS UNDESIRABLE

Members of the City Commits
sion are to be congratulated upon
their stand in opposition to the
street carnival.
1t appears that still another car
nival, or street show, is knocking
at the door, this time an applica-
ton being made through the Com
mons Commission.
When the matter was brought
before the City Commission for
approval Wednesday afternoon, it
was made plain that this BODY was
unalterably opposed to the carni-
val.
There is nothing wholesome or
educational, certainly nothing ele-
waiting about the average carnival
and the Ledger would like to see
the County Commission join hands
with the City Commission in rails
ing the bars so as to keep these
undesirable shows away from Co.
lumbus and vicinity.

THE VISITORS

While Kate waited on the platform
of the frame station until the train
bearing Alice and Dorothy should ar
rive, she felt a thrill of anticipation.
Her desire to test the girl, to trap
her into betraying something, had
been replaced by a feeling of real
friendship. Kate almost wished she
had put the trunk out of sight so
that if, by any chance, it ever had
meant anything in Alice's life, it
would not recall it. Kate knew the
girls life had not been an easy
one.
She watched as the train pulled in
and the passengers left the coaches.
She was startled when finally Alice
and Dorothy appeared.
Il think I've never seen anything
more summary and lovely than you
two girls" she said as she kissed
Dorothy and took Alice's hand. 1t
seemed natural that she should kiss
Dorothy. In spite of the litse she
had seen of her, and the ci-sd had
come to mean something to T*tte.
Dorothy was in white with but.
terfly bow at the back of her frock.
Another huge bow poised on the side
of her bobbed head. Alice had on
dark blue dimity, dotted in white.
She had never looked so much a girl
yet so much mother before, Kate
thought.
you didn't find it hard to get
away from your work today" Kate
asked.
Alice looked squareIy at Kate. II
seemed her eyes had lost some of
their hardness. She Iaughed-it was

CATCHING SUCKERS A
PASTIME IN CHICAGO.

A city man got circular, very
glowing one, from Chicago ode
Velopment company offering him
10 acres in Florida for the sur
prisingly small sum of $4,000 -
"a peanut untiunit' the circular
called it. He could grow, the cir
cular1said, thousand bushels of
peanuts on his ten acres and could
sell the peanuts-allowing for low
prces-at 50 per bushel. The city
man was impressed; but he sent
the circular to the United States
Department of Agriculture with a
query as to whether or not the in
VeStment was good one. Follow
ing are some sentences from the
letter he got in reply. "The litera-
ture is of the kind designated to
deceive city people in the North
and West who do not know any,
thing about farming" The aver
age return from the ten acres of
peanuts would not exceed 5000.
You could buy 100-acre tract
IN almost any Of the counties of
Western Florida, including the one
mentioned in the circular, for the
price these people ask for 10
acres"
we always look askance and
question the methods of these fake
Chicago reality dealers who sell
land, particularly if it is located
In Western Florida, for while Flor
ida Is a great state, and in some
parts rich, beautiful and produc-
tlve,=yet that portion west of the
Suwanee river is the most God
forsaken country one would care
to pick as home-place. Guess it
is because it has never been set
tied up, and there has never been
pillow in it.
We know that the South is rich
with opportunities, and the better
method, if anyone longs to come
away from the rigors of long.
hard winters, is to deal with the
local man here at home. Sumter
