NEGRO SUFFRAGE
CELEBRATED IN 1869

How much do you value the right
to vote? Probably few persons today
are as conscious of the privilege of
suffrage as the negroes of Minnesota
were when a Grand Mass Meeting of
the ColOred Poole of Minnesota" was
held at ST. Paul in Ingersoll Hall on
January 1, 1869.
The purpose of this assembly was
the celebration of the attainment of
negro suffrage in Minnesota, which
had been brought about by an amend
ment of the state constitution only the
autumn before. The st. Paul conven-
tion was a gala affair, marked by
music and sweeping oratory. Cover
nor William r. Marshall and Ignatius
DOnnelly were among the speakers
A particularly descriptive portion of
the latter's address was his reference
to the colored people as having come
up from the Red Sea of bondage with
the foam still on their garments.
The complete proceedings of the
convention were published in 1859 at
st. Paul and copy is in the posses
sion of the Minnesota Historical So
ciety. A feature of the convention
was the establishment of the "Sons
of Freedom" to watch the interests of
the colored people of the state.

SEEMS TO BE LIFTING
(Mille Laos County Times)


The rise in the price of stocks and
wheat during the past week seem to
indicate a lifting of the depression
1t is favorable sign of the resump-
ton of business activity and seems to
be more than a flash in the pan.
When values of stocks increase it in
dictates return of confidence in the
great industries of the country. A
return of confidence from the invest
ing public means that the big in
dustries will have no difficulty in get
ting working capital and in starting
up operations. The waiting to see
which way the cat will jump, and the
doubt and uncertainty will probably
end
AS we look back on the past years,
especially those of normal prosperity,
when we could calculate with some
certainty on the outcome of the years
business, we can see that people did
not realize the value of those normal
conditions and accepted the routine as
definitely established. The depression
came as rude awakening that show
ed our economic system can get out of
order and needs new establishments.
We can remember of hearing the
younger generation few years ago
scoffing at the idea that hard times
could ever return to this country. But
they have now found out that condi-
lions can change very radically in a
very short time and this experience
should be of some value to them in

vice to the Filipino people regarding
the economic and social policies they
should follow in the exercise of their
forthcoming freedom!
What protection should the United
States provide for the Philippines aft
er complete independence has taken
place? In my opinion, none unless
it be to join other nations in pact
or treaty by which they agree to pre-
serve or observe the neutrality of the
Islands-an agreement which would
be meaningless unless the Japanese
were among the signatOry powers who
signed the document. When the Amer
lean flag is lowered for the last time
on the Lunetta that act should mark
the complete withdrawal of this coun-
try from any farther direct RESPONSE
bility for the Filipino people. All
the past history of that turbulent peo-
pie indicates the folly of assuming re-
sponsibility for their acts after the
last vestige of our control has been
essentially surrendered.
The Filipinos have demanded the
surrender of that control. 1t should
be accompanied by a corresponding
disclaimer of further responsibility
by the American people. Response
bility should be where control is
lodged. Once the Filipinos exercise
full control they should assume full
responsibility also. If they want pro-
lection they must waive the right to
absolute control of their affairs. If
they want absolute control, then they
should waive protection and take their
chances among the nations!
Should be No PrOtectOrate.
Those who advocated in benign
way the establishment of a protector
ate of some kind by the United States
over new Republic of the Philip
pines fail to recognize still other con-
siderations. Such a policy would
probably involve us time and time
again in the interminable readjust-
ment of the turbulent political and
economic affairs of islands separated
from our mainland by half the water
of the globe. We would be compelled
either to defend the acts of the Fill
pinos against other nations or under
take the punishment of the Filipinos
for offenses against other nations.
Moreover, we could not enforce any
protectorate against a strong deter
mined nation such as Japan, having
a large navy CHARTERED within strik-
ing distance of the Philippines. The
Treaty of London made it impossible
for the Japanese to make successful
war against the United States on this
side of the globe but it also made it
impossible for the United States to
cope with Japan in Asiatic waters.
That treaty reduced Corregidor Is
land from the worlds most impreg-
nable fortress into an obsolete fort
at the mouth of Manila Bay. Almost
overnight the notion of an effective
American protectorate over the Is
lands became largely a purely senti-
mental phrase.
For all the foregoing reasons the
Philippines should be granted COM
|plete independence at some definite
and early date. No section of the
country is more vitality concerned
with the prompt settlement of this
matter than the citizens of Mime
sofa and the Northwest.

DR.. Jacobus c. Faure of Cornell
University, announced last week that
he had learned, through experiments
conducted in Pretoria, South Africa,
that it is mob psychology that changes
the harmless, fun-loving grasshopper
to the robber locust. The insects
change in shape, size, color, and tenn
permanent when they are banded into
groups, he says.
The grasshopper is harmless quite,
He has no urge to rob
It's when he joins a locust gang
That he starts raising hob.
Now DIR. Faure comes to us
Declaring it his job
To see that grasshoppers don't catch
The spirit of the mob.

st. Louis County Independent: Axel
j. Groesback, former governor of
Michigan, has refused to become a
candidate for governor of Michigan
simply for the reason that both of the
major parties have adopted prohibit
ton as the major issue in the coming
campaign. He feels that there are
more important issues than the prohi-
bition question, and in that stand he
is perfectly correct. 1t is not a ques-
ton of what the people desire to drink
but it is question of what they
need to eat.

FISHING SHIP OF HOOVER GOES

 With President Hoover's Party in Florida Waters, Dec 2S-(U. F. President Hoover's fishing feet proceeded slowly through the swampy Florida Inland canal par alIeling the Atlantic near Daytona Beach, to-day in an effort to get south as rapidly as possible for deep-sea fishing.
 The president did not fish yester- day but spent large part of the day going through mail taken aboard at St Augustine and doing some work on the war debts prob- lem. The reason for the work on debts was not announced. The trip had been planned to relieve the president of such effort for a few days.
 president, irritated at his i'll luck and by the fact the yacht Sequioa could barely move along the shal- low winding inland passage, might take a train as far as Miami from DWaytona Beach sometime during the day.
 Experts in these parts declared 0cQuOld WOulQ ANqAAiO OVOh = ~SA> to go through the shallow water ways to the Miami fishing grounds at her present slow rate of speed. The president is eager to catch real fish or two before he returns to Washington early next week.
 The chief executive otherwise appeared t, be thoroughly enjoying his holiday. He has been fishing tnly twice but has remained in the open on the broad decks of the Se- quola. Both he and Mrs Hoover were in good spirits.

FRANCE TO WAIT UNTIL HOOVER

Her Leaders of To-day Think They Can Get Better Results From Roosevelt Regime

Paris, Dec 2S. (UP)-The French government to-day consid- cred war debt negotiations with the United States ended until the Roosevelt administration takes of- flee.
 Secretary of State Stimson's warning yesterday that France must pay the December annuity of $19,261,432 before there can be any discussion of debt revision con- virced France that negotiations would be useless under the exist ing American regime.
 Ambassador Claudeis report of the latest Washington development reached the foreign office early to- day. It was understood that the secretary of states position would be transmitted officially later to- day, through the American em- bassy.
 Meanwhile Premier Joseph Paul-Boncour and his cabinet de- cided to stand by the resolution adopted by the chamber of depu- ties after the Herriot government was overthrown. It provided that the United States agree to talk debt revision before France agrees to make the defaulted December IS payment.
 Herriot, who refused to partici- pate in government unless the chamber of deputies agreed to make the payment, remained adamant favoring payment. He was somewhat bothered by various American suggestions linking debts with reduction of French arma- ments, or tariff favors.
 The press commented sarcas- tically on the suggestion that the

 Secretary Wilbur thought the proposed Everglades Park site needed inspection. Chris tmas was approaching, but the tall Sycamore of Sanford University is not one to finch from stern duty. He summoned his wife, command ed his official chauffeur, and set forth on the public business.
 It was a long trip, though not exhausting for his car rides quite easily. It was trip of some 1,200 miles that by railroad would cost S1O3.75 round trip including Q low CT berth, though cabinet officers customarily do not travel in such humble accommodations.
 Since Wilbur Is travelling on of- ficial business he is entitled to let the government pay for his gasoline. and his hotel. It will take him until after New Year to complete his inspection work, his associates at the interior depart ment said.

Captain NOlan's team, composed of Captain Nolan, Mrs John Curtin, Miss Bridget Griffin, Michael Griffin, Richard Cooper and James Bowling, secured first prize by beating the Inyincibles who were tied for second place with Carmody's team up to the last round and Captain John Stack se- cured second prize by beating Carmody's team. Stacks team clung on to fourth place all through the tourney and in a des- perate attempt to secure first place Stacks coach, Dan Shea, substi- tuted Brian Mahony in place of one of the regular players, a piece of strategy that won for Stack the prize, as the combination of Ma hony and Shea is unbeatable, ex- cept when opposed by Mrs Curtin and Michael Griffin.

Coy Oak : ley, the two officers said, insists the first version of the slaying-that It occurred accidentally during backwoods healing" in the Clay ton farm home-is correct. He said the brothers came from Sulphur Springs, Texas, at the "order Of God.
 The district attorney expressed dissatisfaction with replies given by Paul Oakley, described by him as religious racketeer." He sald the 20-year old youth was sIna.l' that he believed he was holding something back. Paul told oil, :, cers, T was conceived by God, and refused to talk of the staying.

BRIDGEPORT AuT0IST FINED ON ONE COUNT
Witnesses For Heaney Impress
 City Court Judge
Reckless Driving and Evasion of Responsibility Charges Dropped Accused Ran Down Cyclists, One Sustaining Fractured Leg

their way to Troy. N. Y. Patrol- men Twitty and Bourguin of the Torrington police also testified.
 It was the testimony of the state witnesses that Heaney driving to- ward Thomaston crashed into Sulish and Eschner, who were rid- ing bicycles. Both lads were pain fully injured. Without stopping to render assistance or reveal his identity. Heaney continued on his way through Thomastof to Tor rington, where he was stopped by the police. Word had been tele- phoned ahead as a result of the three college students sending 8 telephone message into the local police headquarters and giving a description of the auto. which had made getaway.
 Heaney at the time informed the Torringtop police and claimed it again today that the lights of other cars blinded him. He has been un- der the care of several doctors for an infection, which impaired his vision and almost paralyzed his jaws. On noticing a car approach ing from the opposite direction he always took the precaution to slow down and to pull to one side of the highway. The testimony of state witnesses conceded him this point. Heaney claimed that he did not know that his car had collided with the boys on their bicycles. Character witnesses were present to testify that MT Heaney was not the type of man, who would drive away and leave anyone disabled on the highway.
 The Torrington police were in- clined to the opinion that Heaney had been drinking, but he denied this accusation very emphaticaily. The Waterbury police on bringing Heaney back to this city did not prefer any serious charge of this nature.
 Judge T. V. Meyer remarked in commenting on the most serious charge, evasion of responsibility. that he did not think MT Heaney would deliberately drive away If he had relaized that his car had been involved in an accident. Wit ness fees brought the fine imposed on the accused to over $50.
 Two law suits are expected to be filed shortly against Heaney on be- half of the injured lads.
