s. ED HALL CHARGES MAHONEY
WITH INSULTS TO
RACE aI ~

More than 300 persons attended a
mass meeting for Mayor Gerhard
Bundle under the auspices of the
Young Peoples Voters League at the
Halle @. Brown Community House,
Tuesday evening.
Hector Vassar presided and intro
duced Mr.. S. E. Hall, the first speaker,
who bitterly resented what he called
"the insults heaped on Negroes in
their own back yard by VIM. Ma
honey, labor candidate for mayor"
Speaking before the Non-P Partisan
League Tuesday evening of last week,
Mr.. Mahoney stated" according to
Mr.. Halls remarks that, Negroes
should elect men to office who will
furnish them their 'pok' chops.
"In fact" Mr.. Hall said, "labor
unions have not been open to our
group in the manner in which labor
would have US believe"
Mayor Bundle asserted that during
his 81 months term of office he had
received many unjust and personal at
tacks, but he had always fought the
fight of the common people and advo-
Gated fair deal for all, regardless
of race, creed or color. He also led
the fight against the franchise ordi-
nances of the Northern States Power
Company in the city council in No

it might place upon the people of the

election.
Other speakers were Evan Ander-
son and Pat Delaney.

PRAISE

The Twin City HERALD, which
now enters upon the sixth year of its
publications, here in the Northwest,
merits the support of every Negro
family from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, as it is edited, published and
printed by colored men, in a colored
printing shop.
The editor and publisher therefore
are to be congratulated.for the sue
cess which they have thus far OBJ
tanned. It takes brains, pluck and
energy to make any enterprise a "go,"
and this the editor and the publisher
of the Twin City HERALD seem to
have. Sometimes, we can do without
shoes on our feet, or hats on our
head, but who of US, in the great
Northwest would want to do without
the home town paper, edited and pub
lished by Negroes in an all Negro, all
Negro owned printing shop. s..;s-,
Again we congratulate the Twin
City HERALD on it's achievements
and success, which is appreciated by
the intelligence of the community

Ladies Minstrel
Makes Hit With
Large Audience

By far the most delightful amateur
entertainment of the present year
was the Ladies' Minstrel given Fri
day evening, April Is, by the Young
Matrons' club of st. Peter church in
the auditorium of the Wheatley Com
munity House. So enjoyable was the
production that the large audience
was held interested for over one hour.
The talent revealed indicates clearly
that Minneapolis has its share of tai
applause
The principal end men, Mines. Con-
stance Ashby and Alice Brown, won
applause honors. Mrs. Ashby per-
formed with the ease of a profession
al both in the minstrel antics and a
speciality Apache dance; Mrs. Brown,
surprised all with her mirth provok-
ing antics and her clever rendition of
songs. Other end "men" who kept
up a sparkling repartee of jokes with
the interlocutor were Mrs. Maxine
Jones, whose singing of Between the
Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" brought
down the house; Mrs. Ethel Mack,
who played "Sambo"; Mrs. Thelma E..
Wade, "Hambone," and Miss Esther
Akers, promising young mimic who
ented women.
The cast was all in black face ex-
cept the speciality performers and the
traditional interlocutor played with
ease by Mrs. Josephine Chambers.
Dressed in formal attire, high hat and
all, the interlocutor ran the perform
ance with the ease of an old-time min
strel man. Songs and jokes won long
played Gatherings" The end "men"
were dressed in red and black with
stove pipe hats. The circle "men"
were dressed in white trousers, blue
blouses and blue berets. Mines. Rosa
lie Miller, Edna Russell, Mamie Whit
ney, Frank Peoples, Villa Newman,
Pearl Hughes and the Misses Ruth
Pittman and Harriet Walls.
Radio stars were featured in the
speciality numbers. The Boswell Sis
tiers were impersonated acceptably
by the Misses Dorothy and Leila Pitt
man and Martha Kay. Jovial Miss
Dorothy Hicks played Kate Smith.
The Wheaties quartette was COM
posed of MINES. Whitney and New
man and the Misses Harriet Walls
and Ruth Pittman.
Little Master Harold Miller obliged
with clarinet solo. The entire min
strel was thoroughly enjoyed by an
audience of over two hundred.
Mrs. Thelma Wade, chairman of
the affair was assisted in the direc-
ton of the minstrel by Jess MCGUIRE,
Mrs. Alice Brown and Mrs. Josephine
Chambers. Mrs. Ruth Lewis is presi-
dent of the Young Matrons. Other
members who helped make the min
strel the success it was, were Mrs.
Helen White, Mrs. Warner Glenn,
Mrs. Minnie Reddick, Mrs: Irene Levy
and Miss A. Mickens.

n. Y. Hotel Hires
Negrs Bell Hops
Find Them Safer
REPORT DOPE RAID FEAR
GOT NEGROES IN HOTEL TAFT
(By Hawk-Eye Smith
in The National News)

New York, N. Y, April 21.-Dope,
women and liquor are alleged to have
been the unholy three responsible for
the BUSTING of white bell hops and
putting in Negroes and the changing
of the name of the Hotel Manager to
the Hotel Taft. It is remarkable that
this story has not leaked out before.
Negroes Were Safer
When the Hotel Manger was Faided
quite some time ago by the federal
authorities, the place was, said then
to be nest for "snow men," booze
and crimson ladies. The authorities,
it is reported, fatty told the manage
ment, that unless something was done
about it the place would be padlocked
sealed up as tight as drum. What
to do! What to do!
All, we will hire Negroes the,
don't peddle dope and they are safer,
said the management, as we must clean
house. Not only turn a new leaf but
get new book. Forthwith they hired
whole crew of bell hops with 8
Negro bellman in charge, and had
them put on their new uniforms
secretly, up on the roof.
Whites Were Shocked
The white bell hops got dressed as
usual in the basement locker rooms.
When it was time for new watch to
come on, the colored bell boys came
marching out in military style, and
took command. The ofay boys turned
whittier than white.

Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his cry
ing.-Proverbs 20, 21:1S.
A father writes that his son for
whom he has labored many long
years, recently struck him in a fit of
anger. The father asks if modern
thinking and modern training is not
responsible for his boys conduct" In
our humble opinion, mixing a little
ancient Christening with modern
youths freedom and liberty win do
the youth of today much good. My
father never whipped me in the old
fashioned manner but mother made
up for his lack of parental zeal by
administering in good doses the nee
essary chastisement. How it hurt!
But it had its obvious lesson.
Parents have a way these days of
neglecting home training and placing
the blame for the harum scarum ways
of their offspring on the modern
day" Any man from Is to so who
strikes either of his parents needs an
old-fashioned thrashing, mod ern
methods Notwithstanding.
The master trial stage manager,
Clarence barrow, has his Hawaiian
stage all set. Just how well the "old
master" has weaved will soon b.
known to an interested public.
Little black Virgin Islands, u,
owned, described by President Hoov.
er as ga poor house." has invited Elk.
Kaiser Wilhelm to come and make his
home there. The 73-year-old ex-
rulers physicians have advised him
that change from the Dutch climate
will aid his health. Uncle Sam, papa
of the modern world, will now have
to be bothered with an ex-king. The
Kaiser is sure of his place in history.
The more calmer world has ceased to
blame him entirely for the late holo-
caust.
Several months ago, Roland Hayes,
noted tenor, sang in st. Paul under
the auspices of the Junior League.
Behind this lies story not generally
known.
The Hayes recital was a benefit for
the Junior League Convalescent
Home, an institution for the use of
poor working women unable to pay
the regular hospital fees.
The pampered Junior league wom-
en- while attempting to sell tickets to
colored people for the recital ex-
planned when questioned that no col
ored women were admitted to the in
stitution for which the benefit was
being staged. The inconsistency Of
using a noted Negro artists drawing
power to replenish the Golfers of an
organization banning from it's hos
pital persons of that artists own
race is plain to see to perhaps every
one but st. Paul Junior leaguers.
There is no indication that Mr..
Hayes, himself knew of methods en-
ployed by the league in their hospital.
Some years ago he refused to proceed
with Washington, D. c., concert be-
cause Of the treatment of his people
by the concert management.
It would have been far more con-
sistent for the Junior leaguers to
have engaged John Mccormack, Mary
Garden or some of the Causasian
singers. But we have feeling that
at that particular time Mr.. Hayes
was. the. best drawing card. It was
perhaps expedient to have Mr.. Hayes
aid in maintaining a place from which
his women are barred, but it was GER
tainly not quite ethical, for even
Junior leaguers.
