PHYLLIS WHEATLEY NOTES

Little Swear old Andrew Majors

The intermediate Girls Diamond
Ball Team won from Wells, 38 to 6,
Monday evening on the Parade
Grounds. There will be no game next
Monday because of Decoration Day.
Come out on June Is and see this team
play Unity House.
The Junior Cub Team was swamped
by the Unity House Team last Tues
day evening, 22-11.
The Senior Girls lost their second

Non K l. team, 31-1. A muddy field
added to the hazards of fielding and
the girls played commendable game
in spite of the fact that they were de-
feated.
The intermediate Boys opened their
Diamond Ball season with a defeat
when they lost to the Wells Leopards
last Thursday evening, 175.
On June 4th, Girls Play Day will be

veterans of the late war who have
united in Rochester, N. Y. The OBJ
ject is said to be to continue in
peace, the fraternal spirit, formed
during the great war when no
color line was formed in the
American army" It is fine bit
of news, worthy of emulation in
other cities-but to say that no color
line was drawn in the American army
is to laugh. No Negro who served
overseas will be able to forget the
treatment accorded our black boys in
uniform during the great war. And
it is well to mention the fact that
Rochester, N Y, is the only city in
the United States to have a public
statue of Frederick Douglass. APP
parently the people of this splendid
city are not Ku Kluxed yet.
A door of the past was opened the
other day when there appeared at
Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, N. Y,
a Mrs. Hunt of Washington, D. c.
In 1860 Mrs. Hunt was a little
Negro slave girl who had escaped to
the North. To show what slavery
meant and to get her freedom, Henry
Ward Beecher then pastor of
Plymouth Church conducted a slave
auction from the steps of the Church.
The incident stirred the North as
nothing else had done since the publ
cation of "Uncle Toms Cabin" by his
sister, Mrs. Stowe. The girl got her
freedom, was educated and married
a colored lawyer in Boston.
The Phyllis Wheatley Players pre-
sented their long looked for drama
entitled ellis Best Investment" to a
fair sized audience at ST. Stevens
Auditorium, May %. It was won
derfully we'll produced. Each and
every player is to be congratulated,
especially Mrs. Carr for her careful
training.

Mrs. Farr Resigns

One of ST. Paul's pioneers is leav-

where she has worked for several
years. She has resigned her position
with the expectation of breaking up
housekeeping in st. Paul and moving
to Duluth where her nieces, Mesdames
Rodney Richardson, and Nichols are
living. Miss Farr is one of the old
settlers in Minnesota. With her sis
ter now deceased Miss Farr taught
in the ST. Paul public schools for sew
eral years. The Farr sisters, the
first of our group to teach in St.
Paul, a fact which makes them out
standing. Added to her teaching has
been her gift to the community as
social worker at Welcome Hall. Miss

The Observer
THE OBSERVER

If ever an audience was given the
plain unvarnished truth, straight
from the shoulder, it was the hot
shots delivered by Mrs. Mckenzie at
St. James A. M. E. Church, the oc-
casion being the Annual sermon of
the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Lodges. In
her characteristic manner Mrs. Nc
Kenzie scored the people of Mime
apolis for their lack of race pride and
energy in not coming together and
having a building of their own. She
mentioned what other cities have done
in the way of ownership of creditable
halls and pleaded with our people "to
wake up and do something"
And it is a strange phenomenon
that presents itself to all right think
ing people. Here in Minneapolis fra
ternal organizations have more or
less fourished for the last forty or
fifty years and what have they got
today, with the possible exception of
one order which nearly owns it's own
home, none of the others own any
thing. If they want to have an en-
tertainment they must rent hall
from the other race; and although
several attempts have been made to
change this condition; we are as far
off as ever.
Last week we spoke of possibilities
and the urgent need for the race to
get into the business of making some
thing to sell. While it is true Mime
apolis presents difficulties to new,
small business concerns, not encoun-
tered in the other communities, owing
to our scattered residential sections,
it is also true we have more of our
people engaged in business now than
ever before We find that there are
two very essential and absolutely
necessary things in which we are
woefully lacking-they are, conf
dence and capital; confidence in our
ability to do things, and our failure
to acquire capital in group form.
But that is no reason why we
should not make a start. We spoke
of the Jew making something to sell:
yet the Jew has not always been a
manufacturer-Bi times knew him
as land owner, banker, money-lender
tax-gatherer, but principally as mer-
chant-content to sell what someone
Else had produced. 1t is only in mod
ern times we find him in the creation
class. But the Jew had to start some
time and so must we.
The creative power of any people
began in a small way and gradual
ly increased until it became a power
in the economic productions of the
world. To my mind there are many
ways in which small amount of
capital could be made to launch out
into the business of making some
ching to sell, which with careful man
agement and judicious advertising,
could be made to bring in splendid
returns, and the secret is in two
things-have your goods of the right
quality-and abundantly advertised
for advertising is the life of trade.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. (P-The paramount question of whether or not President Coolidge will accept the Re- publican party's presidential nomina- tion in 1928, was tackled by Senator Willis of Ohio, and former Governor of Kansas, Allen, without result. Se- natorWillis talked with the President and said that he would not run. AL len spoke to the President and told him to his face that he would be drafted.
 Senator Willis in denying President Coolidge would be candidate for rec lection, outlined the principles upon which he would like to stand If he was nominated in place of President Coolidge. He gave positive tndica- tions that he was inclined towards mo- imitation.
 Former Governor Allen adhered po- sitively to the theory that Coolidge will be renominateed and reelected. Tn conversation with the President, he said outright that he supported Se- nator Tess in thinking that the Presl-

Rabbi Krass Points Out
Differences Between Re-

Judaism and Christianity are

Rabbi Nathan krass OF New York

ming at the Burritt hotel. Il feel that
the greatest indication OF world ad-
vancement which to my mind shines
over the discovery of material things
such as the radio and the trans
Atlantic telephone is the fact that
recently two ministers Of the Protes-
tant religion, two Catholic priests,
one Unitarian minister and a rabbi
spoke by radio on the subject, What
God Should We Worship and that
each in his own way, agreed upon
the same thing.

understanding between the creeds

Judaism and Christianity.
Explaining the difference between
Judaism and Christianity, Rabbi
krass stated that Judaism was the
religion which grew out of the soul
OF a people and that Christianity
was development of that religion.
The Jews. he stated. constructed
their religion out of the belief Of a
