THE HONOR OF HIS RACE

The following poem was inspired
by the Press reports Of the thoughts
Of John Trice, the Negro football
star of Iowa State College, on the
day of the game in which he lost his
life, taken from "His Creed"
No loftier or brayer creed has ever
been propounded,
Than when this football star from
Ames, his thoughts of life COM
pounded,
For what he thought about the game,
his whole life would express,
His love for family, and race, his
few words do confess.
He was an Honor to his race, an Hon.
or to mankind,
And lofty thought like he express
ed, will races closer bind,
He threw his body, and his soul. in
reckless bravery,
To gain the Honor for his State.
his Colleges Victory.
And 80 II he had lived we think. the
same thoughts would prevail.
An Honor to his State, and Race.
he'd have been without fail.

NATHANIEL DETT
!OAPPEARH HERE
MONDAY EVENING
Famous CompOser-Pianist Will
Give Recital at Peoples
Church.

r. Nathaniel Dett, renown Com
poser-Pianist, will appear Monday
evening, February Is, at Peoples
church in one of the best musical
treats ever witnessed in the Twin
Cities. This modern day composer
possesses something unusual in the
realms Of music, something indefina-
BILE to the masses, but recognized by
the masters Of his Isscsessson as mu-
sical genius.
In every city where Mr.. Dett has
appeared his renditions have been
of such that critics, If even biased,
were forced to acknowledge him an
artist of note. Many of the nation s
foremost critics have announced his
ability through the press.
To Give Masterpieces.
Mr.. Dett will render some of the
masterpieces that have made him IA
nous in his Monday night appearance
in st. Paul. "Juba" Is a rare treat
in itself and after viewing the pro-
gram numbers, one scarcely knows
how to estimate the value of his
presentation to the lovers of music.
In speaking of Mr.. Dett, when 1t
became known that he had accepted
the musical directorship at Hampton
Institute, Mr.. Frederick H. Marten
said in the Musical Monitor:
'It might be said that the coming
of r. Nathaniel Dett to Hampton as
director of music at that institution
has marked a new epoch in its nu-
sical development"
1t goes without saying that Mr..
Dett's appearance In the Twin Cities
is extremely notable. If any one
should miss this musical feast Mon
day evening they shall have lost an
opportunity many desire to have. Mr..
Dett appears under the auspices of
the Everywoman Progressive Council.
