they realize its people and the whole

realization are exerting themselves
with an enthusiasm quite unknown

1reachery Is Seen When
The Citizens Committee
Seeks Officers Discharge

Authentic information dis
closes the fact that q group of
our citizens are demanding the
discharge of one of the best Of
ficers I'm the police department;
q man of their own group. We
are greatly surprised that any
of our own would be so small
as TO ask the discharge of so
efficient q man.
The only charge is that the
officer Is too efficient and that
he enforces law and order as q
man sworn I'm to secure respect
for government should do.
The Bulletin-Appeal is for the
man who enforces the law, and
we seriously regret that some
Of our citizens are sneaking
enough to resort to intrigue to
have the discharge Of an officer
Of the Race for reasons un-
f0unded---to the officer we say,
keep doing your duty; the bet
ter type Of people are with you.

(Advert1SementSD
No longer will the Negroes of Min
neapolis have to reluctantly admit
that aside from our churches we have
not a single institution in this beau
tiful city of existing rare opportuni-
ties and abundant good will and fel-
lowship that is functioning for the
physical, intellectual and spiritual
uplift of the people of our communi-
ty. Some of our best women have
come to the rescue and have organ
lied and established The Colored
Women's Home and Service Center,
located at 253 18th avenue south,
Minneapolis.
It is undenominational in charac-
ter, and Is broad, unselfish and Chris
tan enough in spirit and attitude, as
not to be an institution for coiored
people only, any more than the Swed-
ish hospital is solely for the Swedish
people, but to administer to the needs
of all races alike, whenever an oppor-
tunity is given. Christ was no re-
specter of persons; let us make him
our exemplar in all things.
The name of the home simply i'm
plies that it is ever to be an institu-
ton founded, owned and controlled
by the colored women of Minneapolis,
for the purpose of radiating servioe
city-wide in its scope, assuming with
other institutions of a similar nature
some Of the responsibilities of the
responsibilities of the charitable and
uplift work being done in this grow
ing metropolis, of which there is such
a great need.
Their activities are to be, focused,
however, more directly on work
among women and children of our
own group, because it is but natural
and right that charity should first be-
gin at home. In other words, "to the
Jew first then also to the Greek" If
any individual or race first learns to
respect and help itself, it will eventu-
ally receive the consideration due Ii
from others. This Is not the spirit
to encourage prejudice or segregation
as some fear it is and which has ex-
erted retarding influence upon our
development and progress; but to the
contrary 1t is just good common
sense seeing facts as they actually ex-
ist and an effort to SO improve our
selves and conditions that the word
"Colored" or Negro" may be name
of which all of our race may feel
justly proud. Let us awaken to our
best interests and so prepare our
selves to give to the world the best
we have that the best may come back
to us.

board of directors will be held at the

pal and co-worker, Walter H. Chest
mutt, who left US one year ago the
sixth of April.
Dear Walter, a tender chord has been
broken,
The smiles that you once smiled have
faded away;
You have left us, Oh, how we miss
you.
The Golden gates were opened, the
gentle voice said come, and with
farewells unspoken you quietly en-

Your earthly trials are over.
In Heaven, at last you found rest.

" HE real astronomer doesn't
think he knows 1t all. There
Il is plenty of room in his
field, and he welcomes, and often
invites, the aid and cooperation
of laborers who only occasionally
enter it, drawn by its unparalleled
attractions. There is just now
an instance in the invitation Of
the United States Naval OBJ
servatory to all owners of tele-
scopes to take part in the OBJ
servations Of the transit Of the
planet Mercury across the suns
disk on May Z.
Amateur astronomical observers
who are doing good work. which
is valued by professionals, have
greatly multiplied in this country
since the organization of the Asso-
citation Of Variable Star Observers,
not many years ago. and the ma
jority Of these will undoubtedly re-
spond to the call for aid from the
Naval Observatory.
The transit occurs at con-
venient hour of the day-in fact,
rather too early, since the sun
will set before the transit is fin
ished. It begins about 4:43 p. m.
Eastern Standard time, and an
hour earlier for each standard
meridian westward. The whole
time Of transit will be nearly eight
hours, but at the end will not be
seen in this country. The exact
times concerned can be obtained
from the Nautical Almanac and
from a circular issued by the
Naval Observatory, copies of which
may be had by writing to the
Naval Observatory, Washington.
When on the suns disk the lit
tie planet, whose real diameter Is
5000 miles, will appear as jet
black circular spot, about 1-S0th
Of the apparent diameter Of the
sun. A telescope magnifying not
less than fifty diameters will be
needed to study 1t well. The Naval
Observatory says ninety diam
eters. And it must not be forgot
ten that no view of the sun,
either with the naked eye or a
telescope should ever be taken
without a proper shade glass.
What the Naval Observatory
wants is observations of the ex-
act moments of contact between
the limbs, 1. e., edges of the sun
and Mercury. There are two sue
cessive contacts to be observed,
as shown by our diagram, viz:
the contact Of the inner edge of
the planet with the outer edge
of the planet with the inside of
the suns edge, at the instant
when separation takes place.
OF course, just before the
transit begins Mercury is not
visible, being concealed by the
bright background of sky sur
rounding the sun. The observer
must, therefore, be intent on the
watch as the predicted moment
approaches.
