The explanation given by MT. Ball. laine is so interesting in it's bearings on national politics that The Gateway has~sentait as copyrighted article to all of the 5000 newspapers of the As sociated Press.
 A Peep Behind the Curtain
 President Harding's trip to Alas ka," said MT. Ballaine, "was origi- Inally planned by Secretary of the h. terior Fall, Secretary of the Navy Denby, Secretary of War Weeks and others of their political friends who favored the creation of an Alaskan Board clothed with power to sell any and every species of public lands and other property of every kind in Alas ka at any price on any terms. Sen ator New of Indiana, now Postmaster General, introduced the bill in the Senate, but Secretary of the Interior Fall admitted in a hearing before the House committee on Territories that he was the author of the bill
 When President Harding arrived in Alaska his party was joined by Gov ernor Bone, who had been appointed Governor of Alaska on the endorse ment of Secretary New and Secretary Fall. During the Presidents trip over the Alaska Railroad, Governor Bone took on the then manager of the railroad, another appointee of Secre- tary Fall, and also a naval officer who had been detailed by Secretary of the Navy Denby to expend $1,OOO,OOO that had been appropriated by Congress to develop a supply of coal for the navy on the Pacific in the naval reserve of the Matanuska coal fields.
 These three officers, all appointees of Fall and Denby, were the only men in Alaska, either officials or private citizens, who were allowed on the Presidential car, and they sat by the Presidents side every mile of his jour- ney from Seward and return. All the information that President Harding was permitted to gain about Alaska and the Alaska Railroad on that rail- road trip was given through those three appointees of Fall and Denby.
 "One of the things they told Presi- dent Harding was that development work in the naval coal reserve of the Matanuska coal fields was suspended because the coal was found by a naval coal commission in 1921 to be unsuit- able for naval use, and therefore the Alaska Railroad was unable to rem

brought here at great expense. She
is under contract with the owners of
the popular Chicago cabaret where
she appears as feature attraction in
Percy Venerable's floor show. Her
engagement for entertainment of
Minneapolis and St. Paul people is
due to the friendship of the Sunset
owner with H. B. Rowe of Minneapo-
lis, nationally known newspaperman

Miss Alix's dancing is worth the
price of the admission alone.

gregation of dance musicians playing
all of the latest dance tunes. 1t is
an eleven-piece orchestra with a col
ored man, Odell Smith, of St. Paul, as

SUNDAY FORUM
Will MEET
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT PHYL.
LIS WHEATLEY HOUSE,
On ID M

In the closing month of it's current
sessions the Forum departs from it's
programs of possible high brow in
terest to present one that makes a
fascinating appeal to every woman
who is called upon to her husband and
children that staff of-good bread.
Where it comes from and how it is
made-what makes it so desirable
and how one of the great industries Of
the country has grown upon its de-
velopment will be demonstrated by
Ralph Watson, for many years past
a member of the force of the North
western Consolidated Milling Co. Just
the exhibits used to show the processes
of making grain into flour are suf-
icient to awaken lively interest.
But to them must be added the at
Effectiveness of Mr.. Watson's talk,
which Interpreted with hHmor gives
prosaic subject of flour a romantic
flavor. Those who have never listened
to Mr.. Watson in his lecture have a
treat coming. Music always an es-
sential part of the Forum offerings
will be given by the Putnam sisters.
They will sing a duet and Miss Doro-
thy will give a solo.
Miss Dorothy is the young woman
who as chairman of program has
helped to make the past year so en-
joyable for Forum patrons. Her ap-
pearance on the program is the

Being asked what has given him
the greatest satisfaction in his public
career, he answered in effect that it
is the fact that his friends are not
limited to any favored group; that
they include people of every national
ity, color and creed, whether native
or foreign born; in other words, that
he has won the supreme award of
tolerance-the confidence of the peo-
pie without distinction as to class.
His mandate is the will of the citi-
zenry of Minneapolis. Once that will
is known he is scrupulously particular
in it's observance as, for instance, in
the well remembered case of the
Auditorium fight, when he unswerv-
ingly demanded that the expressed
will of the people be obeyed.
There is no one so great but must
treat him with respect, and there is
no one so humble but may greet him
as friend.
A vote for Col. Leach is a vote for
a friend of all the people.

WHITE GIRL WHO CLAIMED AT.
TACK BY COLORED MEN,
HELD
Race Riot in March
Crime Fastened On Negro Caused

crime Fastened on Negro Caused
Especial to the Herald)
Coffeyville, Kan, June 3.-The
thorough investigation of a reported
criminal attack on two white girls
last March, by the State attorneys Of
flee and interested colored and white
citizens, has resulted in the arrest of
white man and one of the girls in
the case. The case attracted nation
wide attention, and led to a severe
racial disturbance in which several
were injured when a mob of whites
seeking Negro suspect invaded the
Negro settlement. State troops dis
persed the mob.
Julia Mooney (white), high school
senior, started the trouble when she
and her friend Margaret Akers told
authorities that they had been at
tackled by three colored men as they
slept. This story started the mob &C
tivity and the race rioting.
During the past week officers re-
vealed that Ira Kennedy, white man,
had been arrested on charge of as
saulting the Akers girl. Julia Moon
ey, her friend; was arrested as an &C
cessory before the fact. This likely
pair were placed in Jail at the County
seat at Independence, Kans., under
bond of $4,000. So ends one part of
the story of the almost disastrous at
tempt to cast blame for a crime on
the shoulders of innocent Negroes.

The immense plant of the company
mentioned at Chicago, has been very
fair to the workers of the race. Hun
dreds of men and women have worked
for it for years and in some instances,
through ability and conscientious eff
fort, positions far above that of Ga
borer" have been attained. AS is well
known, the celebrated philanthropist,
julius Rosenwald, is the head of the
Sears, Roebuck company. For years
he has been recognized as the fore
most friend of our people and his rec
ord along this line is neither local nor
recent. Indeed, his benefactions had
q great deal more to do with the I'M
precedented growth of Tuskegee In
stitute, both during the regime of the
late Booker T. Washington and the
present administration of his worthy
successor, President Motion. Tuske-
gee is but one institution among
many aided by him, however; his
purse has been open to hundreds of
worthy causes and racial projects.
Get a Break
There is every reason to hope that
working men and women of the Race
will find employment with the Sears,
Roebuck company when the time
comes at Minneapolis. They must un-
derstand, however, that the work will
have to be sought, and the writer
is of the firm belief that our workers
will "get a break" Leaders among
our people in the Northern city should
take personal interest in the matter
and an early effort should be made
by them to insure consideration along
this line. Direct communication with
Mr.. Rosenwald himself, if required,
should be resorted to, as that great
man never in the past, has tolerated
anything that savors of prejudice or
discrimination, regardless of the ideas
carried by department heads or those
who have power to accept or reject
competent or worthy applicants.
Must Work
This brings US to the point where
a bit of advice to the workers them
selves might be given. Unreliability,
lack of punctuality and the habit of
following up paydays with absence
from the job, have been the principal
causes of complaint among employers
of Colored people in the large centers.
The '1ay-off" habit is one of the main
causes for rejection of our workers by
employers who depend upon steady
plant operation and to this source is
traceable the fact that many manu-
facturers and employers will have
nothing to do at all with workers of
color. Minneapolis workers who read
this brief article should remember its
inference and set an example to others
by making every effort to prove
worthy Of any position for which they

worthy of comment and is an epoch in
the history of this church. On Easter

mated $4,000. On Sunday afternoon,

Some Of the most beautiful voices

racial elements which have gone into
its making, so the American voice is
actually a blend Of the peculiar tonal
qualities of it's European antecedents.
One remarkable thing about its de.

Our purpose is to produce opera which
