tainly deserves our highest commen-
dation for his consistency in advocat-
ing justice to all, regardless of race,
creed or color. The fact that many
men Of position frequently forget
fairness to all, In favoring certain
classes, is one that makes a man of
Com. Matson's caliber all the more
appreciated. The many rising situa-
tions confronting every public official
taxes their moral fiber to the highest
degree. Those of weak character are
often made prey by designing men of
influence. The stronger one consider
first the right, then go ahead. They
weigh the rich and poor alike on the
scale of justice and measure out pun
ishment without favor. A such execu-
tive we are fortunate in having in
Frank Matson, commissioner of pub
lie safety. We are very much pleased
with his recent activities and wish
more Of our public men could grasp

SHOP is POPULAR.

Mr.. B. J. Winter, manager of the
Winter Fashion Shop, is one of the
best known merchants of fine apparel
for ladies in Minneapolis. Mr.. Winter
has just returned from an extensive
trip through the East. On this trip
he was fortunate in securing from an
Eastern firm large stock of spring

which can be offered to the public for
a great reduction of the original
value. When interviewed by repre-
sentative of the Northwestern Bulle-
tin. Mr.. Winter said: II have had
business relationship with the colored
people of the Twin Cities for several
years. I find them splendid Gus
toners and further wish to say that
I appreciate their previous patronage
and ask for its continuance" The
courtesy, fairness and cosmopolitan
nature of the Winters Fashion Shop
truly warrants the patronage of ev-
cry buyer of ladies' apparel. The
variety is complete and the entire
stock represents combination OF
thoughtful selection, good material
and conservative values. Our read

The recent activities in the Sena-
torial race are we'll worth attention
in view of the fact that three of the
candidates are well known By the
Negro population of st. Paul.
The names of Judge Oscar Hallam
and Congressman Sydney Anderson
and Governor A. Z. o. Preus
have been filed for the position OF
United States Senator. Both Con
eressman Anderson and Judge Hal
lam are well liked by all race peo-
pie in the city, having at all times
stood scuarely behind the fair play
ideals. We feel that the necessity of
good representation in Congress war
rants careful selection of the various
candidates. Judge Hallam made an
enviable record while on the Supreme
Court bench, measuring out justice
without discrimination, to all.
Congressman Anderson gave
goodly measure of support to the
Dyer Bill and has long been held in
esteem by the voters of the city.

Washington, ID. c., May 26.-Pres-
ident Harding is functioning. Yes,
julius Caesar was offered the crown
three times, which he did thrice re-
fuse, according to the testimony OF
Uncle Mark Anthony. Three times
has President Harding named Walter

Once the honorable United States
Senate failed to vote on the confirma-

down, down-aided and abetted by
ten good and brave honorable Repub-
lican senators, who flung their votes
in the ballot box with legitimate and
illegitimate Democratic senator's.
The Honorable Senator Randsell OF

VERDICT OF mot
GUILTY" REACHED
IN WRIGHT CASE
Canadian Pacific Porter, Who
Was Kicked Off Train by 500
Line Agent, Freed.
ATTORNEY w. T. FRANCIS
WINS ANOTHER VICTORY

Alfred Wright, porter on the Cana
dian Pacific r. r., who was arrested
and charged with transporting spirit
GUS liquors over the 500 line, was ac-
quilted in district court before Judge
Hanft last Tuesday. The Wright
case caused considerable action
among the r. r. men and brought to
light some of the many injustices
that porters encounter daily. The
charge against Wright was made by
d. L. Webb, special officer for the
500 line. 1t will be remembered
that Wright was assaulted by Webb
and thrown from the train and as a
result was under medical care for
several days. Atty. w. ]. Quin rep
resented the defendant at the pre-
liminary hearing May A. Quin Of
fered no defense. Atty. w. T. Fran
els was then secured to defend
Wright.
Last Monday and Tuesday the case
was tried in the district court. The
chief special agent, an assistant
agent and several employees were
summoned as witnesses against
Wright. The railroad company also
produced suitcase and travelling bag
containing II bottles of liquor as evi-
dence, alleging this as the property
of the accused man. Atty. Francis
conducted the affairs for the defense
In mastery way to the extent that
the decision reached was this: "The
evidence presented does not justify
conviction
Mr.. Wright is resident of Win
nipeg, Man., and is employed as
sleeping car porter between the Twin
Cities and that place. When at this
end of his run he resided at 1886
Fourth avenue south, Minneapolis.
His fellow workers were of material
assistance in securing the necessary
funds to finance the legal fight. At
this time the victory of Atty. Francis
will mean much to the railroad men,
as they are facing many similar prob
lens in various sections, especially in
the eastern divisions. Justice can be
meeted out correctly only when each
side is given the opportunity of tell
ing his story. 1t is an admittedly
well known fact that many porters
have been submitted to unfair treat
ment and in some cases discharged
without being given chance to
prove their innocence.

American Legion Established
Fund to Decorate Graves
in Flanders Field.

Decoration Day, the national holi-
day, commemorated on May 80 to
honor our soldier dead, will be OBJ
served in every large city in America.
The graves of our fallen heroes of
land and sea will be decorated with
beautiful blossoms in their memory.
Those dear boys who lie far across
the sea, In Flanders field and in
the Argonne Forest will not be for
gotten on the day. Their buddies OF
the American Legion have inaugu,
rated a fund to provide annual dec
orations. Let us not forget our
"boys" who fought for us; from Girls
pus Attucks down to Colonel Charles
Young, who was recently buried in
Arlington cemetery. Colored Ameri-
ca can boast of their excellent mill
tary record. We have no slackers in
our race. This we can say with great
pride and point nobly to those who
have died, but not in vain. The day
is not far distant when We shall reap
the glory of those victories for which
our dear boys fell on the battlefield.
The blood of all these hero dead,
Blood of the North and of the South.
OF the East and of the West,
Blood of a hundred conflicts
In a dozen lands, has fallen
And in falling has intermingled
The life blood of America.
1t has hallowed the soil 1t fell upon,
And the harvest shall. be unity of
thought and of purpose;
1t shall be righteousness;
1t shall be democracy;
1t shall be loyalty;
1t shall be, freedom of opportunity
And liberty without license.
1t shall be honor to God and Country,
Love for brother,
Justice for fellow man;
And above all these,
1t shall be friendship,
Greater recompense than which
Comes not to any man.

THANKS

The Bulletin wishes to thank the
University avenue merchants who so
willingly cast their business problems
aside to go and appeal to the city Of
ficials for the reinstatement of our
own officer, J. Homer Coins. Never
before has such group of prominent
businessmen fought for the man as
was demonstrated in this case, re-
gardless of race, color or creed. If
we can do no more, we can at least
give our earnest support to their bust
ness enterprises; they are truly
worthy of every consideration, and
have more than proven their loyalty
to US.
