IOWA QUICK AND SEVERE

II is rather remote from us, yet one
L cannot help but admire the dispatch
with which Iowa authorities handled
four bank robbers who on Tuesday were
bold bandits, successfully staging a bank
robbery, and today are merely number
ed convicts in the states pentitentiary.
The bandits tied up some 30 employees
of the bank in Clinton and after the
time-locks had opened the vault, they
fled with over 100000, high wages for
the few hours it took them to do their
work.
There is no doubt the ability to get SO
much easy money in such a short time
would make honest men envious of the
robbers. But the success of the latter
was short-lived. Four hours after their
spectacular deed they were in custody
and all the money they obtained was re-
covered.
Then justice showed that it can also
work speedily. The quartette was brought
into court, tried and sentenced and ON
their way to prison less than "a hours af-
ter they entered the bank This also should
provide matter for reflection by those
who might be envious of the robbers in
itial success.
The four are doomed to spend the rest
OF their days IN prison, having received
life terms. Judging from the speed of
the Iowa courts it is reasonable to as
sumo that a life sentence in that state
means more than it does in California,
where "lifers" are often released in a
few years.
1t is steep price to pay for the chance
they took. If the same price was meted
out in all cases where violent crimes are
committed, there would not be so many
of them.

Twin Cities.
All is Confusion! The ministers
are lukewarm towards the settlement
houses and the Forums. The social
workers are not always willing to co.
operate with the ministers. Negro
business men and women do not take
constructive criticisms kindly. Negro
patrons of race business folk fail to
recognize that Negro business is un-
able to compete with other business
because of lack of training and imam
cial backing. Negro business and pro-
fessional people do not trade with
one another. Negro lodges have no
civic programs, that they carry out.
Young Negro womanhood has no ade-
quate protection against the too num-
e1ous liberties. No equitable recogni-
ton is given to Negroes by public Of
flee holders in Minneapolis especially.
No employment is given by merchants
operating in neighborhoods lille Thir-
ty-eight and Fourth avenue south,
Sixth avenue north, Minneapolis, and
Rondo district, st. Paul. Negro BUSH
ness men and women fail to support
Negro newspapers and periodicals.
Too many people buy out-of-town race
newspapers to the exclusion of their
own papers-right here on the firing
line. There is too much of the pro-
vincial "old pioneer citizen"-"New
conner" rivalry that profits not the
group one whit College students here
are usually snobbish set, seldom do
they contribute anything to the reli-
gious and cultural life of the COM
munity. When they do, the enjoy
ment of such offerings are dulled by
the air of condescension exhibited.
Most of the students typify the state
ment, Aren't We ALP" Then again,
not enough interest is manifested in
the welfare of such students by tbs
communities. Every N0SIO lawyers
who represents an opponent our
personal enemy-"is no good" Ev-
cry corporation employee who is re-
spected by his employers is a stool
pigeon" Nothing any local Negro ac-
complishes is worth while. If a
preacher does something he has no
business doing, the newspapers should
not make mention of it.
All of these things, contradictory
and completing are what the Mime
sofa people of color suffer from.
Failure to develop leadership of
intelligence, economic insecurity and
several other things that might be
removed by spirit of cooperation
and hard work are the real causes
for Minnesota backwardness. Which
Way, Brethren, Up or Down and Back?

a report sent out from Washington,
d. C. 1t comprehensively reveals the
present commercial and industrial
status of the race. The report com
ing from the U. S. Department of
Commerce is summarized by a asso

From the office of James A. Jack,
son, business specialist of the U. S.
Department of Commerce, come the
following statistics on Negro business
units throughout the United States.
Negroes are engaged as owners in
over 10000 COMMUNICATING enter
prises, and about 10000 personal-ser
vice forms of business, that is, those
in which some merchandise is sold in
connection with a professional or
personal service, as the undertaken
dentist, barber, hair-dresser, etc.

The reports also show that the OIL
