Whites Meet To
Protest Property
Purchased by Negro

A meeting of white residents in the
vicinity of the Linden Hills Branch
library was held Wednesday to pro-
test against the purchase of two lots
in that neighborhood by Evan Bridges,
ST. Paul restaurant operator. The
guiding spirit Of the indignation"
meeting was Walter C. Robb, 18th
Ward alderman and alleged charter
member of the local Ku Klux Khan.
The property that Bridges has al
ready paid $500 down on is not far
from Robb's home in the Lake Harriet
district.
Much of the criticism of the audi
ence and speakers at the Wednesday
night meeting seemed to center on
R. E. Smith, white real estate man
who made the deal on the property. An
attorney in the audience reminded the
audience that there was no legal way
to keep citizen Of any color from
purchasing property. Cases were cit
ed where Negroes were frightened
from neighborhood by stone throw
ing. Walter Robb made masterful
subtle appeal to the racial prejudices
of his hearers A committee was APP
pointed to see Bridges who the lead
ers seemed to think would be white"
enough to sell. This committee will
report it's findings at another meet
ing scheduled to be held upon call.
Bridges operates a restaurant
chicken shack for whites only" and
observers expect him to be amenable
to the opportunities of the committee.
The sentiment on the matter was
by no means one-sided. Many of the
people were obviously unfavorable to
any suggestion of violence or coer-
cion. Some of the people in this
district, the most aristocratic district
in Minneapolis were not even in ac-
cord with the feeling that Bridges
would make an undesirable neighbor
About $50 persons attended the
meeting.

Of gunfire that left a Negro bank

companions were hit by the bullets of
a score or more enraged citizens.
Parking their motor car near the
little bank the white robbers sent the
Negro inside to present a check.

FAILURE OF NEGRO BUSINESS
by r. "A. Adams
(The Literary Service Bareau)

The collapse of Negro business en-
terprises has wrecked faith in such
racial efforts. Investigations shows
that these unfortunate failures were
not wholly due to depression. The
chief cause was shameless betrayal Of
trust manifest in speculations which
gambled with the peoples money, in
the interest of personal gain.
Big salaries and extravagant living
figured big in the ruin of Negro bust
ness. Fine homes, expensive cars,
costly vacations, rank favoritism. ne
opotism, all have been contributing
factors in the downfall of these insti-
tutions and destruction of faith in
racial business leadership and ON
duct. This does not mean loss of
faith in the Negroes business capacity,
but in his honesty, and his integrity.
Sometime ago, I called attention to
extravagancies in monies given to our
insurance companies and cited
STANDARD, National, "Mammoth'
Century, Victory, Imperial,
Supreme" and other such names CIV
en- enterprises which we're Stockings
in these fields. The cellaspe of these
corporations with such imposing
names most certainly emphasizes and
justifies the criticism of race AFRO
gance and bigotry.
Because the Negro is hopeful and
because he recognizes the urgent need
for such racial enterprises he will
swallow his disappointment, and hope
fully undertake the work Of rebuild
ing these institutions. But he will be
slow, cautious and sceptical. And it
will require at least fifty years to
restore his lost faith in this connec-
ton.
