THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT

Senator jim Reeds presidential clarion to the Democratic
faithful of the nation from Sedaia, Missouri, has aroused the
Democrats, but unhappiy for Jim, to a warfare among them
selves When the senator took his pen in hand to frame the
document, his intinates believed that his arguments would
sweep the countryside, and that the Al Smith boom would col
lapse in its tracks. Instead, however, the influential Democratic
press with but few exceptions has devoted itself to the task of
tearing the hide off of Senator Reed and proving to its own
satisfaction. at least, that he is unworthy of being considered
as a nominee.
The New York World declared Reed sis a man of deep and
reckless prejudices. He is not a just man and is absolutely I'M
fitted" The New York Times finds that bad outweighs the good
in the Reed candidacy. The Hearst papers, alone, apparently
hold out an olive branch of welcome, but even this olive branch
has lost part of it's leaves and blossoms and is a rather fTayed
article. In short, it is reasonably plain that whatever excitement
has been lost to the Democratic presidential contest by reason
of the retirement of McAdoo, will be restored by the bitterness
of a Jim Reed-Al Smith contest.
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but capital is a
mighty good foster-father.
Lots of good people own steamer trunks and have never
seen an ocean. al
Most any horse will get wind broken, but most women seem
to be immune.
Balloon pants go well with under-infated brains.
It takes a lot of hard practice to give some girls that
charming naturaness.

Luke 17:17. Were there not ten

The Danger of Ingratitude
Among the Mean Men of the world,
l consider the migrate to be, perhaps
the worst. There is an old legend
"The Angel of Blessing returning to
the earth from the throne of God is
laden with blessings in answer to the
petitions of men, but on returning to
the throne of God this angel is empty
handed" So few are those who ap-
preciate what God has done for them.
From the text quoted above it ap-
pears to me that of the persons healed
the nine should have been the most
grateful, because they were Jews, but
alas, not every one that says Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom.
Are we grateful to God for his good
ness to us or, are we proving our
selves ingrates? Judge We.

TWIN CITY CHORUS PRESENTS
MARIAN ANDERSON IN
RECITAL

Marian Anderson, New York pre-
eminent contralto of our race, ap-
peared in recital at the First Baptist
church Friday night, May 9th, as
sisted by the Twin City Choral So
ciety. From an artistic standpoint
the recital was decided success, from
an attendance standpoint, consider
able disappointment. Very gracious
and with a charming stage presence,
Miss Anderson has voice of wide
range, particularly resonant a d
pleasing in her middle and lower
register. Grouping her songs in
French, German and Italian in the first
part of her program, for the last part
she used a group of English and a
group of spirituals, and in each group
she seemed equally at ease and at
home. To the generous applause that
was accorded her she responded with
several more English songs among
which were the familiar "By the
Waters of Minnetonka" and Sammy
Boy" Her accompanist, VIM. King,
proved very capable, though little
more color at times would not have
been out of place. The Twin City
Choral society of about 60 voices, I'M
der the capable direction of John Hick-
man, Jr. of st. Paul, lent much to the
enjoyment of the evening by its group
of five songs, including three spirit
uals. Mrs. Malvina Glenn at the
piano.

MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY FORUM

The Program Committee of the
Forum, Miss Dorothy Pitman and
Mrs. Katherine L. Smith are still able
from the mine of valuable talent
available, to give to members and
friends of the Forum most enter
tanning program. For Sunday after
noon, May Is, they present as the
speaker for the meeting, Mrs. Mae
Black Mason of st. Paul. In addition
to enjoying reputation as musician
which extends far beyond the borders
of her own state, Mrs. Mason is a
speaker of intelligence and charm.
Her subject is one in which she is
especially at home: american Music,
its Source and Vitality" Sharing the
program with Mrs. Mason are Mrs.
Mae Glenn, well-known Minneapolis
vocalist who will be accompanied by
Mrs. Melvina Glenn; Hollis and Cliff
ford Hawkins, whosneed no introduce
tion to Minneapolis audiences, will
give a. and b. selections on violin and

achieved the reputation of saying
more cruel things in a more delight
full way than any one who ever held
the office.
Altogether a well-balanced, attrac-
tive program which begins promptly
at $3.50, at the Phyllis Wheatley
House. Come with your friends.

BURGLARS 0N VISIT i TO BERLIN STORES PedelH'S and AnderSOn'S EStab- !, GShmentS Broken Into
 ALARM SCARES THEM OFF
Irving Suprenant Returns From Hospital to Homo Here-Legion County Meeting on Sunday to Bring Large Gathering-1tcms.

Two burglaries in Kcnsington, one Of which resulted in a slO0 loss and the other in illustration because Of home made burglar alarm, are keeping Kensington police busy to- day in an effort to apprehend the burglars who are thought to be the same as those who broke into Coles grocery store two weeks ago.
 The first victim was Joseph Pedel- Ii who conducts a general store near the American Paper Goods O.. plant in kensington. Gaining en- trance by removing a pane of glass in the side door of the establish- mout, the burglars riflled the con- tents of three cash registers and took change estimated at approxi- mately $50. Stock including shirts trousers. combs and flashlights were also taken. The proprietor esti- mates their value at about $50.
 The break was discovered at about 6:30 o'clock this morning by a1r. Pedelli who. with Harold Ven- tres. found the pane missing in the side door. The robbers had pried open the desk and had strewn the contents about the store. The fact that they were acquainted with the place was brought out when it was discovered that they used screw driver to pry open the cash drawer. the implement being located in a tool box under several cartons of stock.
 Pedelli notified Constable Frank Brown who got in touch with state authorities after examination Of the premises.
 At the store of Charles Anderson on Main street. kensineton. the burglars did not fare so well. Care fully removing two panes of glass which were found unhroken this morning. the thieves bent two fair sized bars and squeezed their way into the rear room Of the establish- mont, which Is notion store. From there they centcred their efforts on . locked and barred door which separated the back room from the main store. That they were not boys is evident in that they broke from its moorings a large and firm ly fastened block which held the bar in place on the opposite side of the door \ cold chisel was used to pry the door open.
 Once that was accomplished, how ever. the burglars ran afoul of a burglar alarm, a device invented by tho proprietor which simultaneously rang large bell In the store and in his residence. which is half a block distant. The alarm in Ander- sons apartment changed once at about 3:30 o'clock this morning and the proprietor rushed to the store to find that the marauders had made good their getaway and had left six shirts which are thought to have been appropriated from Pedel- lis store from which they had evi- dently just come.
 As the alarm only gave one jingle 1t is thought that the burglars no more than opened the door before they were frightened by the alarm. end not stopping to unlock the back
