Mr.. Roosevelt was neard to re-
mark, I'm all right. He waved
his arms to the crowd as an in
dication that he had been spared.
He was driven to his special train
on siding of the Florida East Coast
railroad, and later to the hospital
where the wounded were rushed.
Mrs. M. j. Cross, of Miami, was
standing close to zingara as he
arose from a crouching position with
the gun in his hand. She sensed the
impending tragedy and tried to
wrest tie weapon from his hand.
He climbed a chair to get an ac-
curate aim. M
He was about 35 feet from the
Roosevelt automobile which had
stopped to allow the president-elect
to extend a greeting to the city.
Shouts of Lynch him!" and kill
himi" went up on all sides as soon
as the vast crowd ser.sed what had
taken place. An American Legion
naire gave Zingara smashing blow
is the face with his fist as he was
being dragged off to the Miami
jail for questioning.
There were mutterings and cries
Of E'let us have him.
Persons who were close to the
Roosevelt auto said that the action
Of Mrs. Cross in forcing upward the
arm of the gunman, thus deflect-
ing his aim, saved the life of the
president-el elect.
David Whichart, a Western Union
messenger boy, declared that IT

fire. She grabbed his arm and fore
ed it upward She couldn't stop him
from shooting, however. When the
shots had been fired men and wo-
men jumped all over him.
Fashionable Bay Front park, one
of Miami's show places, was turned
into a mad uproar as soon as the
echo of the shots had died away.
People scrambled in all directions,
many Of them toward Deputy Sher-
iff Hardy who had zingara by the
collar and was dragging him off.

to favor greatly increased tax rat

posed to forms of taxation, like the
sales tax, which would distribute

presence as one of the guests with
his fifth cousin, the President-elect,

ing your life in constant, fear Of some
one else putting on bigger front
than you are able to, or II 1t means
being artificial and ever reluctant to
be yourself because 1t will lower you
in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. So-and-
so, who would give a great deal to
be able to BE THEMSELVES once
in awhile; il 1t means always enter
tanning a gang of gushing back-biters
who eat your food and then go out
and run you down-if that's SOCIETY,
give me arsenic,-a thank Heaven
for the common people!
This race doesn't need people who
allow their whole lives to be domi-
mated by the mirage of 'Keeping-up-
with Jonses", which, after all, is
a mirage of falseness and hypocracy,
a mirage which distorts the REAL
values of life and doesn't tend to bet
ter anyone in the true sense of the
word. 1t means going into debt try
ing to put on front, it means let
ting petty iealousies, ride you and
worry you to death.
I'm willing to bet that the Negro
race isn't going to be led out Of the
woods Of ignorance and superstition
and inferiority by people who attach
more value to being able to turn
their noses up at someone, than they
do to problems which vitality concern
our race. There isn't a Negro in the
United States who has a right to
think of turning his nose in the air
and walking among the mighty as
long as thousands of his fellowmen
are crying to be led out from the
mire of prejudice and intolerance in
which they are caught. The Twin
Cities are the last place in the world
where people should be bothering
their heads about being elite.
There is nothing to be "elite" about
around here! Some of those trying
to be "elite" have nothing more than,
if as much as, high school educa-
ton! A lot of them wouldn't even
be accepted in large cities where Ne
groes have RIGHT to a social set.
If you're going to be "elite", you have
to have something to show for it!
When the Cities are possessed of
three or four large and substantial
Negro businesses with Negroes on
their payrolls, when the Negroes are
receiving more than passing consid-
Grafton in civic enterprises, and when
higher education is not looked upon
as freak of nature, THEN, we'll
see who the "elite" are!

new-found seriousness. Now if a few
more of you fellows would let the
whoopee guise drop for awhile and
show how grown-up you really can be,
maybe Gus wimmen" would do the
same, and everybody would find that
everybody else is not such wash
out affairs after all.
Yep, maybe if the fellows and
girl got together and dropped al
petty differences in a good old-fash-
toned heart-to-heart talk, well-may-
be we could understand each othe~
for once and for all, and the stae
lines would diminish somewhat. I've
found that after talking to fellows
I've always considered to be rather
sad brothers, they are not such bad
eggs after all!
The main trouble seems to be thai
most fellows and girls, unless they
have gone together for length of
time, don't bother to dig down deeper
than the surface and find out if there
is somthing worthwhile hidden there.
Sometimes a person can act disgust
ingly silly, and to all appearances not
have brain cell working, when,
really, that person has wealth of
good sense tucked away somewhere,
and is just awaiting the chance to
spill it on a confding shoulder.
My, my, what brought on all of
this? Tsk, tsk.

Inn one night last week with the tell

effect. Tsk, tsk. I'm afraid it's a
slight error. don't keep my loves
silent, old dear; worry everybody
with 'em. Ho hum!
Yeah, and how come so many of
those who style themselves as being
the "elite" of the Twin Cities are
some of the worst back-biters I've
ever known? There is st. Paul gel
who is so two-faced she should be
afraid to look in the mirror! She
