IMPORTANT OF
SUPPORT TO
URBAN LEAGUE
st. PauPs Citizens Realize the
Prime Necessity of Concerted
Action on Plan.
BEST WELFARE WILL
RESULT FROM LEAGUE
Financial Support Given Will

Even Greater.

The coming of the Urban League
to st. Paul is an important fact well
worth the serious thought of every
race thinker in the city. The many
things necessary to the continued ad-
vancement of st. Paul will be largely
hinged on the outcome of our endeav-
or to fully support the Urban League.
There are many things that must be
coped with in order to secure the
harmonious workings of the many
features resulting from the large in
fiux of new people. To this end the
branch of the Urban League here
will pledge itself to work.
Public Support Needed.

need of support at this time should
be recognized by every cne that is
interested in the welfare of our citi.

well as moral force in order that the
best benefits may be derived. Pub
Lie support has been asked by the
Urban League for the reason that
concerted action by all groups will
facilitate the success of the assur.
red movement. The benefits are mu-
tual. Possibly everyone will not fill
a personal benefit as a result of the
entrance of the league.
Pulling Together Counts.
We stand behind the Urban League
movement because 1t is necessary to
promote our Common Welfare. The
changing conditions can be handled
by an association, made efficient by
experience in the very thing so vital
to us. The possibilities OF a greater
Northwest must be realized to the
extent that every effort will be used
to make this section winner.
This can be done with the coop

should look on this as matter that
pertains to himself. We are assured
that the Urban League will begin its
function here. so let each of us as

Washington, d. c., May 10TH
The Veterans Bureau announces
that forty colored nurses have quail
fed for the Tuskegee Veterans Hos
pital and that they will receive orders
to proceed to Tuskegee within few
days for the opening, which has been
set for May Goth. Colored medical
men are to be sent down as rapidly
as possible.
A large delegation of white Ala
bamans, conveyed by members of
their congressional delegation, called
on President Harding last Wednes-
day to make final appeal that the
Tuskegee Hospital be manned by
white doctors and nurses. The Pres
ident is said to have thanked them
for calling, but to have politely in
formed them that he had made up
his mind on the subject and the col
ored doctors and nurses were being
certified.
A widespread report was sent out
to daily papers to the effect that the
President had acceeded to their re-
quest. Secretary Christian tele-
graphed the Associated Negro Press
May 18th that the delegation had
called on the President, but that they
were advised quite to the contrary.
The persistent attempts of white
Southerners to control this hospital
for colored veterans has aroused won
derment over the entire country.
Even Senator Hifiin has expressed his
contempt, stating that che couldn't
see what white folks wanted to be
nursing sick 'niggers' for anyway"
The magnitude of the task. since
this will be the largest institution In
the world handled by Negroes, is ex-
pected to demonstrate the ability of
colored men to handle big affairs
when given an opportunity.

FRENCH INVASION OF GERMANY
A NATURAL OUTCOME.

Perhaps what France is doing now
should have been done in 1918. Many
close thinkers believe that the arm
istice was premature, and that the
Germans should have been granted no
respite until the allied armies we're in
Berlin, and the German populace had
been brought into intimate contact
with war. In that way they could
have been made to realize their de-
feat. Instead. the returning German
regiments marched down the Berlin
strets like a victorious army while
the cheering men and women decorat-
ed them with flowers Now the Ger
mans can not understand the inva-
sion of the French. The French pol
icy may not be a wise one from an
economic point of view. but the retri-
button France is administering to Ger
many is a natural development.

modest sum of $50, 900 to carry for
ward its Investigations in the mineral
sections of Idaho. The governor has
seen fit to omit this item from his re-
concentrations to the legislature
There is special need for the deve-
opment Of mineral resources at this
time. 1t should be given every en-
enlargement. In Idaho the mining in
dustry is second only to agriculture
and it has in it tremendous possibili-
ties. The work of the state bureau

for this reason the people of this Sec
ton are vitality interested in every

what can be done by this agency.

to call a public hearing last Monday
evening in advance Of consideration
of the bill in the house. The fund
for the erection of the hospitals was
raised by a special tax levy of three
eghths of a mill in the years 1919 and
1920, and amounts to $4,000, less
about $4,000 spent in securing sites,
planss~ etc There is valid ground for
opposition~to the construction of two
hospitals as proposed The funds
available would not be sufficient to
build them large enough and provide
them with necessary equipment, and
the two institutions would practically
impose a double expense of mainte-
nance. We believe that no one will
dispute that the state should provide
a hospital for those Of it's citizens who
are afflicted with tuberculosis, equip
ped with every facility to give them
the best possible attention. and from
that standpoint the senate bill should
have stopped with blocking the con-
struction of the two hospitals and al
lowed the funds to remain intact with
the view to providing for the con-
struction Of one hospital at the most
desirable location. 1t now seems pos
sible that this plan can be worked out
when the bill appears in the house.
and certainly it would be the best sol
ution of the question.
