 l never had been prouder of Dicky's, resourcefulness than I was at the moment when Noel NeritZen came down the musicians gallery and seized Jack Lesie by the throat. Fortunately, the pillar against which he pinned him was one behind the gallery, and on one side of 1t was little recess, an architectural oddity of the room, which was completely sheltered from observation.
 Because of the location of the pill lar, comp paratively few of the rev clers in the crowded room had seen the encounter, and, before young Ncritzen could speak again, Dicky had risen. gone swiftly to the strug- glng pair and pushed them into q recess. As he did so, q man at the table next to ours. powerfully punt chap to whom I had seen Dicky make a signaling gesture, rushed to the recess. The leader of the orchestra gave the signal to the mu-

 The Promise to Wait
 But that Dicky had been able to racify him we learned when, a few moments later, we saw young Yer itzen. exceedingly pale, but calm, re- enter the musicians gallery and take his usual place. l could glimpse no trace of Leslie, but when Dicky a moment later made his way back 10 our table, he at once answered the query which he saw in Lillian's s face and mine, but which, out of

LOCAL CHILD

Son of Local People Is Called

two years old. Donald Golf, the sub
ject of this story, was four years old
Wednesday, June 10Th, and is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Golf, 3O4
E. Jessamine Street, st. Paul. This
unusually intelligent little chap was
enrolled as a piano student at ST..

ago. This institution is one of the
most prominent of it's kind in the
Northwest and heretofore they have
not accepted as piano pupils children
under seven years of age. Little Dom
aid showed so much native talent and
promise that he was enrolled by the
school. His teachers have expressed
amazement at his almost perfect sense
of rhythm. The Herald's reporter
was entertained with several selec-
tions by Donald, whose baby fingers
beat tattoo on the piano keys. This
gifted little fellow knows his alphabet
perfectly and this aids him in his mu-
sic lessons. He is also able to count

RACIAL INTOLERANCE
CONDEMNED BY
FRAZIER
RACE PREJUDICE ABNORMAL
SAYS FRAZIER IN FORUM
MAGAZINE

New York-Writing on "The Pa
thology of Race Prejudice" in the
June Number of the Forum Maya
zine (441 Lexington Avenue), Ed
ward Franklin Frazier points out that
the "Negro-complex" of white South
erners is closely akin to insanity.
Mr.. Frazier points out that "just as
the lunatic seizes upon every fact to
support his delusienal system, the
white man seizes myths and unfound-
ed rumors to support his delusion
about the Negro" Mr.. Frazier re-
cites a number of instances showing
the violence of irrational prejudice
against the Negro, among them being
the following:
"Some years ago mulatto went
to a small Southern town to establish
a school for Negroes. In order not
to become persona non grata in the
community, he approached the lead
ing white residents for their approval
of the enterprise. Upon his visit to
one white woman he was invited into
her parlor and treated with the usual
courtesies shown visitors; but when
this woman discovered later that he
was colored, she chopped up the chair
in which he had sat and, after pouring
, gasoline over the pieces, made bon
fire of them. :. From a practical
viewpoint, insanity means social in
capacity. Southern white people af-
fiicted with the Negro-complex show
themselves incapable of performing
certain social functions. They are,
for instance, incapable of rendering
just decisions when white and colored
people are involved, and their very
claim that they know and under
stand the Negro indicates fixed sys-
tenn of ideas respecting him-whereas
sane and just appraisal of the situa-
ton would involve the assimilation of
new data"

PEONAGE FARM DIDN'T USE
FORCE; MERELY WHIPPED
NEGROES

New York-Although DR.. W.. R.
King, proprietor of an alleged peon-
age farm in Oglethorpe County, Geor-
gia, admitted he struck and whipped
Negroes, he denied having used force
to keep them on his plantation and
was acquitted of the peonage charge
by Federal Court jury in Athens,
Ga.
When it was learned that James
FELTON,, the colored man who escaped
to Danville, Va, was to be taken to
Georgia to testify, the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Colored People wrote the Department
of Justice voicing apprehension for
Felton's safety and urging that he
be safeguarded. FELTON, after testify
ing, was returned to Virginia and
there released.
One of the witnesses at the trial
testified he had been warned not to
testify against DR.. King. A number
of Negroes who left the plantation
it was testified, "were caught on the
road" when it was discovered that
tools and provisions were missing
after they had left.
Reports of peonage on DR.. King
farm have been made and called to
the attention of the Department of
Justice for some months prior to the
trial just concluded.

WELL A story is told of how he first
showed his aptitude for music.
His older brother, Stephen, Jr., re-
turned home from school one day hum
ming kindergarten song. Little Don
then two years old just barely able
to toddle along climbed upon the pi-
ano bench and duplicated his older
brothers song on the piano. Mr.. and
Mrs. Golf were surprised. After that
Don was encouraged and the songs
that he heard people sing he repro
duced by ear on the piano.
This unusual child, is perfectly
normal boy, mischievous and playful
as most of them are. He still lisps
baby talk as all four year Odds do but
he is undoubtedly a natural pianist
who if nurtured will blossom forth
as a musical genius. Seeing is be-
lieving, hearing is knowing, when the
writer was told that a three year old
tot could play piano, he was dubious
but little Donald Golf satisfied all OF
our doubt.
This interesting child is called ear
unusual and amazing case" by musi-
cal authorities. He is the grandson
of Mr.. James Birdeaux, 1892 Rondo
Street.
