Our Birds in Verse
BY Henry Oldys
.JUNCO.

When autumn flow begins to rise
Thou droppest down from northern skies,
Demurely clad in Quaker guiSe:
Nor wilt thou northward take thy way
Till spring have sung her roundeay
Up to the fragrant door OF May.
Where'er thy gathered hosts appear
Their icy tinklings greet the ear,
Like falling flakes of winter cheer.
With many muffled undertone,
AS from a lightly bounding stone
Along a frozen river thrown.
At table spread for winters need
One holds the store with foolish greed
Nor feeds nor lets his brothers feed.
As though a selfish nation should
Ignore the bonds OF brotherhood.
And render null the common good.
Poor foolish bird. Poor, foolish land,
Why do ye fail to understand
When Honors laws ye countermand
And seek to compass selfish gain
Your utmost efforts arc in vain
Ic share with all the general pain.

falls with bang before the almighty
dollar, and a delegation of eminent
white Alabamans travels all the way
to Washington to urge the President
to permit whites to serve and wait
upon colored patients!
A friend of mine from Alabama has
told me of another reason for the
insistence by white Alabama that
colored people be not allowed to man
this institution. One of the leaders
of the movement to put in white
staff remarked bluntly last week:
eff niggers are put at the head of
this hospital, they'll be responsible
only to the United States govern
ment and we don't want any niggers
in Alabama we can't control" At
least this has the merit of frankness.
In the same manner does Florida re-
sent the recent expose Of the hor-
rors of the convict-leasing system in
that and other states.
Finally, PRESIDENT Harding, With
out reservation of any sort, stated
through his secretary, in letter dat
ed April %, and addressed to the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, that the
plan is "to man this institution COM
pletely with a colored personnel"
Since then the delegation of white
Alabamans has called at the White
House. It remains to be seen wheth-
er the President will stand by his
word, or whether he yet nurses the
chimerical dream Of breaking the
"Solid South" through catering to
Southern racial prejudice.

CHAPTER Kill
Cowboy Golf.


In the whirl of the succeeding days
in was a moOted/ question whether
Madeline's guests or her cowboys or
herself got the keenest enjoyment out
of the flying time. Considering the
sameness of the cowboys ordinary
life, she was inclined to think they
made the most of the present. Still
we'll and Stewart, however, had found
the situation trying. The work of the
ranch had to 60 on, and some Of it got
sadly neglected. Stillwell could not
resist the ladies any more than he
could resist the fun in the extraor-
binary goings on of the cowboys. Stew
art alone kept the business of cattle
raising from serious setback. Early
and late he was in the saddle, driving
the lazy Mexicans whom he had hired
to relieve the cowboys.
One morning in June Madeline was
sitting on the porch with her merry
friends when Stillwell appeared on the
corral path. He had not come to con-
suit Madeline for several days-an
omission so unusual as to be remarked.
"Here comes Bill-in trouble"
laughed Florence.
Indeed, he bore some faint resem-
blance to a thundercloud as he ap-
preached the porch; but the greetings

ST. ANTHONY IN JUNE

There are streets, avenues and
blocks beautiful all over this land OF
ours, no doubt, where colored prop
erty owners have set up homes not
as ornate, perhaps, as the best, but
as beautiful, both within and with
out as any.
Not many weeks ago an Eastern
writer sang the praises of New
York block through a syndicated edi-
torial. We read it carefully and
proudly, for every chronicle of civic
progress and beauty makes us sit up
just bit straighter and carry our
selves with just a bit more pride.
The source of this pride in New
York may be w. 139th street, in
Chicago, Washington, or st. Louis it
may be other blocks, but in St. Paul
it is St. Anthony avenue.
For two miles it stretches away,
peopled in the main by colored folk,
and for more than a mile it is lined
with beautifully kept homes.
Other cities have traded the beauty
of green lawns for the prestige of
being known as metropolises but no
such choice has as yet been forced
upon St. Paul. Consequently, roomy
backyards with a lawn and garden
hold sway on St. Anthony. For
blocks, even, close-clipped lawns and
boulevards bear testimony to the
pride of their owners. Shrubbery
and flowers grace snug, screened-in
porches, and on the curbed boule-
wards a line of trees bend and nod
in the summer wind.
No brick pavements here, no paved
backyards, tiers of family wash, and
high-board fences. Here are no
streets of endless brick front apart
ments.
Here is an oiled avenue, white
curbed, where the fresh green of ma
ture reigns supreme and the untaint-
ed air of Minnesota's June blows cool
and sweet.
St. Paul colored folk have a right
to be proud of St. Anthony. 1t is
their street, theirs to maintain, i'm
prove, and ever be thankful for.

URGE BLACK AND WHITE
WORKERS TO UNITE

New York, June ~. - William
Pickens, Field Secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, speaking
June % at the annual conference of
the League for Industrial Democracy,
Camp Tamiment, Blue Mountains,
Pa, urged white and colored labor to
unite in fighting the prejudice by
which their ranks are at present d.
vided.
"Colored people should be admitted
to the ranks Of organized labor with
no shadow of difference" he assert
ed. with twelve or fifteen million
colored people in the United States
there can be no success for labor
with the colored laborer tool in the
hand of those who oppose the ad-
vance of labor"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-06-30

oppressed must consider the lilies of
the field" and remember that IF thy
brother smites one cheek, turn to
him the other ALSO" These and like
doctrines of the past, are impressed
upon the colored man both heart and
brain. '"You may have all this
world, just give me Jesus when I
come to de-" has been written upon
the heart of the colored man and
rings from many thousand threats in
song: There is no people in the
world SO completely subjected to the
teaching Of this submissive doctrine
as the colored. Through brutal laws,
through customs and religion they
were kept under oppression and
robbed for more than two hundred
years. So effectively have they been
bound both in body and in mind,
that years of freedom have not
broken their chains. That the white
man was their superior, lord and
master, was taught to them, was
preached to them, was written on
their brain. Through all the suffer
ings of Colonial days the colored man
has come and borne his part. In all
the wars and on a thousand battle
fields his blood poured out. Unto the
god Mars, the black man has willing
ly sacrificed. One of the very first
he was, that struck for freedom; the
very last to be freed.
I dislike that feeling of race infe-
riority that seems to breed and grow
in the atmosphere of the colored
church. The color of the skin does
not indicate the quality of the brain.
Race does not mark the wealth or
poverty Of the mind. No institution
should disparage the activity of the
mind, or attempt to establish fixed
standard for quality of the brain.
On these questions, so many count
less things have their influences in
the way of conditions, circumstances,
experiences and environment, it is not
an easy matter to decide.

FLIP FLOP

Since we have witnessed the politi-
cal antics of local colored weekly in
cident to the recent primary election
we are inclined to agree with Editor
Smith, our contemporary across the
river, that it's policy is a "sad COM
mentary upon the intelligence of oul
political thought"
Imagine the job of explaining to
voters the reason for passing owe,
the front page to an obscure Demo
cratic candidate before the election
and printing the biography of the
winning Republican candidate right
after the election!

WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Within nine months Minnesota
voters are faced with the task of
choosing a senator from the nominees
of three parties instead of two as
heretofore. Beside the two old line
parties, there is the Farmer-Labor, a
healthy infant that has already
placed Dr.Henrik Shipstead in the
seat formerly occupied by Frank
B. Kellogg.
Colored voters will do we'll to give
this election little thought. At nc
time in the history of politics has
the colored voter been in a more pre-
carious position than now. Jersey
Republicans have called a conference
to consider ways and means of "safe-
guarding our political rights" In
Baltimore, New York and Chicago
colored wards have gone Democratic
At Washington, the administration
promises and bubbles and wabbles.
These and other instances show
plainly that the colored mans faith
in the Republican party has been bad
ly shaken, and in thousands of cases
completely shattered. Blocks of vot-
ers have responded to the invitations
of newer, so-called radical parties
reasoning, fairly enough, that since
the Democrats are enemies and the
Republicans have thrown them over
they will take a chance on a strang-
er.
What will the colored voters OF
Minnesota do? Will they vote for q
party, a man, or an issue?

East" Is
1t afforded Madeline exceeding pleas
ure to have from one and all of her
guests varied encomiums of her beau
tiful home, and real and warm inter-
est in what promised to be delight
full and memorable visit.
OF them all Castleton was the only
one who failed to show surprise. He
greeted her precisely as he had when
he had last seen her In London. Made
line, rather to her establishment, found
meeting him again pleasurable. She
discovered she liked this imperturbable
Englishman. Manifestly her capacity
for liking any one had UNNECESSARILY
enlarged. Quite unexpectedly her old
girlish love for her younger sister
sprang into life, and with it interest
in these half-forgotten friends, and q
warm regard for Edith Wayne, a chum
of college days.
Edith Wayne was a patrician bru-
nette, a serious, soft-voiced woman,
sweet and kindly, despite a rather bit
ter experience that had left her world
ly wise. Mrs. Carrollton Beck, a
plain, lively person, had chaperoned
the party. The fourth and last of the
feminine contingent was Miss Dorothy
Coombs-Dot, as they called her-a
young woman of attractive blond pref
tiness.
For a man Castleton was of very
small stature. He had a pink-and-
white complexion, a small golden mus
tache, and his heavy eyelids, always
dropping, made him look dull. His at
tire, cut to what appeared to be an ex-
aggerated English style, attracted at
tention to his diminutive size. He was
immaculate and fastidious. Robert
Weede was rather large florid young
man, remarkable only for his good ma
ture. Counting Boyd Harvey, hand
some, pale-faced fellow, with the care
less smile of the man for whom life
had been easy and pleasant, the party
was complete.
Majesty, have you planned any fun,
any excitement for us?" asked Helen.
"Above all, Majesty, we want some
thing to happen
my dear sister, maybe you will have
your wish fulfilled" replied Madeline,
soberly. edith, Helen has made me
curious about your especial yearning."
Majesty, it is only that I wanted
to be with you for a WHILE" replied
this old friend.
There was in the wistful reply, &C.
companied by dark and eloquent
glance of eyes, that told Madeline Of
Edith's understanding, of her sympa-
thy, and perhaps betrayal of her own
unquiet soul. It saddened Madeline.
How many women might there not be
who had the longing to break down
the bars Of their cage, but had not the
spirit!
