DEFINING NEGRO AND INDIAN
This racial integrity agitation Is
attracting much attention, not only
in this State, but in other parts of
the country. Negroes have hut
slight interest in the matter, as the
warfare is going on in the upper
gallery of civilization here where
the blue bloods" and the mixed
bloods are having the time Of their
lives fighting amongst themselves.
Still, there is an interesting phase
to the whole business.
Pollard's Annotated Code Of 1904
defines Negroes and colored persons
as follows:
Every person having one-fourch
or more Negro blood shall be deemed
a colored person, and every person
not a colored person, having Que.
fourth or more Of Indian blood shall
be deemed an Indian (1S65.6p. S4).
In defining this section in the
McPherson's Case, % Graf. 939-
the Court said:
"a woman whose father was white
and whose mothers father was
white and whose great-grandmothe-
was Of brown complexion is not a
Negro in the sense of this statute"
Since that time, the law has been
changed to read that a colored per
son Is one having one-sixteentk or
more Of Negro blood and an Indian
is any one (not a colored PERSON.

A few days ago Duluth was not so
sure that they were for the proposed
twenty million bond issue for trunk
roads. Then Mr.. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, and his right hand
man, Mr.. Forbes, made a special trip
to Duluth and explained matters.
Duluth figured that the Twin Cities
were getting too many of the paved
roads leading their way, but now they
have evidently been assured of i'm
provement or paving on Trunk roads
Nos. 2 and leading to Duluth sooner
than they had anticipated and there
has been a change of front, at least
by the Duluth, Herald. They are not
so sure now that they are opposed
to the big bond issue. There is a
little kick now and then from the
cities because the streets on which
the trunk routes are located are not
paved by the state-that is the ex-
pense borne by auto and gas tax-but
that seems to be talk worked up for
the purpose of making the rural dis

1927 AUTO LICENSES
SOON OUT OF DATE
All Cars Must Have New Plates
Not Later Than April First.
Better Put Them on Now.

If you have received your 1928 au-
to license plates, but have not put
them on, you had better get out the
old pliers, take off the old plates and
put on the new ones, suggests a State
Highway bulletin. March 81 is the
last day you can legally drive your
car with the 1927 plates. %
Last year a number of cars were
seen on the streets with old plates
in April. When the police or license
inspectors inquired How Gomez"
most of the car owners explained
that they had their plates but had
forgot to put them on. Those who
have their new plates on the pantry
shelf are just making more work for
the law enforcement officers and MAX
ing it easier for those who are trying
to drive without buying new license
plates.
The Secretary of State will have
the February accumulation of appli-
cations cleared up long before March
81, so that a machine with old plates
indicates one of two things, failure
to pay for new license, or failure
to attach the new tags. If you have
your new plates, it may save you a
red tag if you put them on before you
forget it.

pledge anew our faith in the great
humane principles upon which our
party is founded and for which it has
ever stood. We congratulate the
party and the nation upon the high
minded service and leadership of CAL
vim Coolidge, who, during these crit
ical years of readjustment since the
World War, has stood for the honest,
efficient, economical administration
of the nations business. We regret
his intimation to retire from the pres
idency at the end of his term.
eve favor the passage of any sound
measure which promises relief from
the depressing conditions which have
retarded the progress and destroyed
the prosperity of the farmers of this
state and of. the Great Northwest, and
we call upon the leaders of our party
and our senators and representatives
in the Congress to sponsor and sup
port such legislation as will put the
farmer on a par with the other ele-
ments of our populace.
eve favor the immediate construc-
ton of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway and the establishment Of
adequate barge service down the Mis-
sissippi to the end that the products
of the Northwest may find quicker
and cheaper outlet to the markets Of
the world.

the remaining natural resources Of
this state and of the nation, and par
ticularly deplore the attempt now be-

interests to devastate. large areas of
primeval forest, hunting and camping
grounds along the northern boundar-
