MANY EX-SERVlcE MEN oPPos'
ED TO BONUS.

Those senators and representatives
who have their ears to the ground to
catch the sentiment of the world war
veterans on the bonus should not be
misled by the poisy clamor of the
leaders of the American Legion. The
legion itself represents a small pro-
portion of the ex-service men, and
the mebership is far from unanimous
in support of the bonus. In fact,
some of its prominent members have
Withdrawn from the organization on
account of its attitude toward the
bonus, ami MANY others, while re-
tanning membership are actively work
ing against the bonus one of these IS
Fred w. Galloway of Kellogg, a
widely known mining engineer who
has for years been connected with
large mining operations in this dis
trict and who is now chairman of the
Columbia section of the American In
stitute of Mining and Metalmrgical
Engineers. Mr.. Galloway has recent
lv written the Idaho delegation in
in support of the Mellon tax
reduction plan and in opposition to
the soldiers bonus. On the latter
question he gives the following rea-
sons for his opposition:
Because it commentaries the
unselfsh spirit of sacrifice and
patriotism evinced by our sol
diers in the war.
"The necessity for helping the
veterans is no longer pressing
since all who are willing to work
have been by now absorbed into
profitable employment.
ct believe that any form of
bonus will detract from the in
terest in the disabled veterans
who should receive all our care
and devotion. In other words
"The argument that the soldiers
received but mere pittance COM
pared to the wages paid men who
remained at home is fallaciOus, In
that living costs were abnormal
" high and the net earnings
from such pursuits was not ex-
cessive. Again. that in any case
these high wages applied to
small minority, and finally that
millions of our citizens contrib
uted Loyalty to the calls upon
their time and funds without
hope OF return to an extent as
great as the sacrifices aside
from the supreme sacrifice) of the.
soldiers in the service.
Because the bonus means
tax on the many for the benefit
of the few. That it will largely
be dissipated in Injuries or nom
helpful expenditures, and that the
country will. in all probability
eventually have to provide some
form Of pension to take care of
the ex-soldiers in their old age"
Mr.. Galloway closes his letter with
he following paragraph, which I
hould provide food for reflection to {
hose counting senators and
before they place this
urden Of billions upon the already 4,
ended backs of the taxpayers: 7
Il write this as an ex-marine'
a member of the American Le-
gion. who has twice refused the
honor of post commander here
because of my attitude toward
the bonus I do not think that
the assertion that the members h
of the legion are 'solidly' for the a
bonus is based on fact" 81

MIGRATION North
Chiefly Caused
BY Economics

Writing in Current History Maya
zine for September. Abram L. Har-
ris, Jr., instructor in West Virginia
Collegiate Institute, contends that So
cial causes have been overemphasized
and economic causes ignored in ac-
counting for the northward migration
of Negroes. Mr.. Harris contends
that the migration is part of the drift
from the country into cities, brought
about machine industry and acceler-
ated by boil weevil and crop failures.
The movement must not be consider
ed as exclusively racial, he says, since
what we are prone to isolate as
being essentially Negro movement
is merely part of a greater shift in
that part of the American population
which thinks its fortunes lie in some
State other than that of nativity or
in the land of manufacturing enter

St. Jan1esHea
Its New Pastor

The highest temperature in st.
Paul Sunday was probably registered
at st. James A. M. E. Church-about
los fever heat of anticipation, be-
cause of the presence of the new
pastor, Rev VIM. H. Griffin, former
ly of Des Moines, Iowa. Rev. Grif-
fin comes with the special injunction
from Bishop Gaines that a new
church be built. He comes with a
reputation as a money gatherer. He
paid off $4,000 of the Des Moines
debt in four years: and in the nine
years prior to that built and paid for
large church at Hyde Park. But
these are not his greatest achieve
ments. After Sunday mornings SER
mon there was an experience of "Old
Time Religion" There were twelve
additions to the church. Some were
back sliders" of many years stand
ing; some came on confession OF
faith; some were the faithful moving
from another locality to new church
home. The text was found in 1 Cor,
10:30: even as please all men in
all things, not seeking mine own pro-
fit, but the profit of many, that they
may be saved"
"a Christian" he said, Should
act from the high principle of good
will and reflect the graces of Jesus
Christ. He should learn to differ
from others in Christ-like manner;
the attitude toward what is disliked
should be that of friendly enemy"
1t was a particularly tense moment
when he said, "The newspapers are
designed to tell us the news of the
world; business men tell us of the
worlds business; scientists tell us OF
the natural laws that control the
world; lawyers are here to tell us
of our civil laws; doctors undertake
the task of healing our bodily ills.
There is some well defined agency to
tell us of all of the affairs pertaining
to this world, but 1t is the particular
task of the Christian to call atten-

The Torch

The God of the Great Endeavor gave torch to bear
lifted it high above me in the dark and murly air
And straghtway with loud hosannas the crowd acclaimed
it's light
And followed carried my torch thro the staress
night;
Till mad with the peoples praises and drunken with vanity
forgot twas the torch that drew them and fanced they
followed me.
But slowly grew weary uphodng the shining load
And my tired feet went stumbling the hly road
And fell with the torch beneath me. In moment the
flame out!
Then 10, from the throng STRIPPING sprahg forth with
mighty shout,
Caught the torch smouldered and lifted high again
TILL famed by the winds of heaven it fired the souls of
men!
And lay the darkness the feet of the rampng crowd
Passed and far beyond its peans proclaimed aloud
While learned, in the deepening shadows this glorious

Conference to
Advise Voters

AS part of its social and welfare
program the Chicago Annual Confer
ence of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church passed the following
resolutions:
Whereas, we are facing a grave
political event and crisis in the COM
ing National election, and, -.
Whereas, we as a racial entity and
as citizens of this Republic, have our
own peculiar racial, social, social,
economis, religious and political
problems to face, we feel that our
people, en- masse, are still in need Of
and are, as well, still ready to receive
advice and counsel, as in the past,
from their pastors:
And whereas. glowing promises for
the future are being held out by GER
tain parties seeking to corral the vote
of our people. and to that end various
subterfuges are being used,
Therefore, be 1t resolved, that as a
Conference we do not hesitate and de-
clare IL to be our ultimate conviction,
that just at this time we cannot ad-
wise our people to desert the Republi-
can Party for any offer that other
persons or parties may make. While
We realize that in some respects and
at some times representatives of the
Republican Party have not always
shown themselves fully appreciative
of our aid, at the same time when we
recall and compare the complete rec
ord in National affairs of the treat
ment accorded us by the two of the
great leading parties we quickly see a
splendid balance in favor OF the Re-
publican Party, and the present Re-
pulican Standard Bearers;
Therefore. we urge our people,
both men and women. in this critical
hour and pivotal section. not to fail
to qualify for the electorate and upon
election go to the polls and cast their
suffrage for Coolidge and Dawes as
President and Vice-President of the

My dear Sir:
On my arrival in the city found
copy of the N. w. Bulletin-Appeal-
the first since the publication has
been re-established. There are few
events in my life that I have met
with greater joy than to see a copy
of the Bulletin-Appeal and to know
the Twin Cities is again to have its
live Race paper.
A good newspaper Is a necessary
adjunct to any community, and such
a progressive section as the northwest
could Ill afford to be without the
Bulletin-Appeal. This paper has been
the hallmark of journalism in this
section since it's inception and its
continuation is a blessing to the
Race.
Like many other big things the
Bulletin-Appeal's value was not Who'll
ly realized until its publication was
suspended, but being brought to life
again by your profound interest in
the welfare of people, 1t should grow
to be a great newspaper. The public
must support the effort you are max
ing If we are to have live medium
in this section. Those who so greatly
encouraged you to start the Bulletin
Appeal. should rally to It's support,
in financial as well as, moral way,
since it requires finance as well as
good will.
Your worth in the community shall
not be soon forgotten, as you have
given to the northwest the greatest
newspaper in its history. Permit me
to congratulate you upon the re-
establishment of the Bulletin-Appeal,
and wish for you the greatest possible
success.
Very truly yours,
s. Quay Herndon.

KEEPS PARTIES
GUESSING, SAYS
JAMES JOHNSON
N. A. A. c. p. Secretary Declares
'Gentleman's Agreement"
Between Parties Must
Be Smashed

Emancipation from the bondage of
Republican is the task before colored
voters in America, declares James
Weldon johnson, writing the leading
political artical in the October num-
ber of The Crisis. He asserts that a
sort OF agreement between the two
major parties provides that the DEM
ocrats will do absolutely nothing for
the Negro, and the Republicans will
do as little as possible. THE only
way for the Negro to begin to gain
political importance and power" says
Mr.. johnson, sis by smashing this
'gentleman's agreement" He must
absolutely destroy the idea that be-
cause a mans face is dark he has the
word Republican indelibly written
across his forehead, and that it is a
badge of villenage from which he will
never seek to escape, no matter what
his lords may do or may not do"
The situation of the Negro in the
South, Mr.. Johnson explains as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Republican Party in the
South is not a political party. 1t is
an ofice-holding oligarchy. The
bosses are not interested in building
up a party; they are interested solely
in taking a hand-picked delegation
every four years to the national con-
vention. and landing on the band
wagon. The only political activity In
the so-called Republican Party in the
South is that involved in contesting
delegations going to the national con-
vention. II Republican President
is elected, those bosses have all the
Federal jobs in the whole empire of
the South to parcel out among them
selves and their friends. There are
fat packings and are exclusively re-
served to, relatively, very few per-
sons; for the mass of white South
erners are barred by being Demo
Gratis. 1t is here we have the reason
for the rise and growth of Lilywhite-
ism; the white men in the game sim
ply wanted all the jobs"
Mr.. Johnson then says of the
Northern Negroes:
They are the victims of tacit,
IL not expressed, 'gentleman's agree
ment' between the two major parties
by which thy are almost completely
eliminated as a political force. This
agreement provides that the Republi-
can Party will hold the Negro and do
as little for him as possible, and that
the Democrats will have none of him
at all. The pathetic thing is that it
Is the Negro voters themselves who
make possible this annulment of the
power they hold in their hands. 1t
is possible because practically every
Negro vote is labeled, sealed, deliver
ed and packed away long before cleo
ton. How can the Negro expect any
worthwhile consideration for his vote
as long as the politicials are always
reasonably sure as to how 1t will be
cast? The Republicans feel sure OF
IL, the Democrats don't expect it."

by far the most potent factor in the
progress of the race, having its hands
on the pulse of the more than 49,
600, 900 souls"
Mr.. Mathews, whose introduction
was greeted with cheers, expressed
deep qualification at the response of
the Press to his call for support. He
referred in glowing terms to the phe-
nomenal progress in Negro journal
ism during the past seven years, and
appealed for continued loyalty to CAL
vim Coolidge and the Republican par
ty.
"If you knew the man as 1 do,
he said, you would realize that he
stands FOUR-SQUARE on the plat
form of economic and political justice
for all men. You need have no doubt
in your minds as to what Coolidge's s
policy will be toward the Negro. Let
1--WE have faith in Coolidge be our
battle cry.
After strong expressions by the ed
itors resolution crystalizing the sem
timent of the conference declared

trict stands unequivocally behind
