President

of square miles of lcpd
 President Wilson did not consider Italy's sacrifice in the war, and played in the hands of England and consequently it develops that England got the lions share.
 The League of Nations is society that guarantees the existing empires, but makes no provision for the unfortunate economical conditions of large nation like. Italy which has inadequate resources while England which had already more than she needed got more.
 England now is trying to use America to help her, in the fake name of peace, to keep Italy from bringing Ethiopia judgment for allowing the Kidnapping of her citizens into slavery and constantly allow ing raids on Italian colonies.
 Many treaties have been made between Italy and Abys- sinia, none have been lived up to and if Mussolini now wants to settle the question once and for all, it's his business as the representative of his na- tion, and if to put it in the worse light his intentions are imperialistic, its not the busi- ness of this country to sit in judgment and condemn Italy.
 Certainly we as Americans should rather see Italy control Ethiopia and thereby liberate millions of Slaves, rather than the Japanese who are gaining a foothold.
 Italian Americans wonded why this country does not press the League of Nations and Kellogg-Briand sections against Japan for what she is doing. Is it because she is

WHEATLEY ANNUAL
DINNER MEETING
TUESDAY, FEB. IL

The Phyllis Wheatley Settle
ment House will gather with its
friends Tuesday, February IL, in
its annual dinner and present a
program, which this year will en-
phasize the work of the settle
ment more fully than has been
done in previous years.
In other years Minneapolis has
looked forward with high expec-
tations to this gathering that
brought together several hundred
friends of the institution to dine
and enjoy program of music and
speaking as well as to mingle and
talk with many who had not been
met since the last annual dinner.
The meeting of Tuesday will not
differ radically from those of the
past. Indeed, there will be but one
marked departure from the custom
of former gatherings, and that
will be in the matter of speech
making. There will be no out of
town speaker and such talks as are
made will be short, pithy and
pointed.
Program Varied
The program will illustrate the
value of the artistic and the physi-
cal developments encouraged by
the house and do it in a way to
please and justify it's existence.
In the volunteer aid given by citi-
zens to have this meeting the
equal of all that have gone before
it is very satisfying to record that
the Twentieth Century Club, a
cosmopolitan group of young men,
are going to serve at table, thus
the appetizing food will take on
a new flavor by reason Of the
skilful service of these young men.
Arnold Walker is president and
George James secretary of the
Century.
Former presidents of the auxil-
larry, Mrs. Elizabeth Van Hook and
Mrs. Eva Abbey, together with the
former treasurers, Mrs. Lottie
Hyde and Mrs. Anna Lacey, will
be the hostesses for the evening,
greeting the guests as they enter
the lobby. The setting up, of the
tables and their decoration will
be in charge Of Mrs. Dora Pipkin
and group who have helped so
greatly in making these dinners
delightful through the years.
The assembly hall will be hung
with the artistic creations of the
women who have produced them
in past months and there will be
on exhibition many delightful ex-
amples of the handicraft of those
who paint, sew, cook and en-
broider that could not find a place
in the program to be given fol-
lowing the dinner.
Community Sing
The program will present first
community sing, one of the en-
joyable features of many Phyllis
gatherings; this will be led by
Mrs. Blanche O. Mason of the
Music Department; a synopsis of
the work undertaken during the
past year, and, though brief, the
talk of Miss W. Gertrude Brown,
head resident of the house, should
be Of particular moment as she
delves into the practical methods
through which the Phyllis Wheat
ley House has met the problems
of this distressful year; a Russian
dance by the Midget girls, then
puppet show by the junior girls,
both groups having received their
training and inspiration through
studies carried on by the Phyllis
classes; one-act play, "Polly's
Hero" in which the dramatic
abilities of dozen young people
will show the fine development
made available through the courses
furnished by this department. The

Urges Minnesota
Anti-Lynch Law
By Thelma Rea Thurston

although the state Of Mime
sofa may have no particular need
for an anti-lynching law, it is a
measure whose adoption by the
legislature of the state of Mime
sofa would serve as an outstand-
ing example to states in which the
need of such legislation is mex
pressibly greater"
DIR. James Weldon johnson, who
delivered the convocation address
at the University, Thursday, jan
uary 81, spoke with intense feel
ing before the state legislature.
Speaking in behalf of the Mime
sofa anti-lynching bill, he contin-
ued: "The anti-lynching issue is a
vital one-one that concerns every
man, woman, and child in the coun-
try. And if you are not interested
in this issue from the standpoint of
the Negro, you ought to be inter-
ested in it for the sake of the
nation"
Describing a lynching which oc-
Cured near Nashville, Tenn, DR..
Johnson said: "Such occurrences
are not only blot against the ma
tional prestige Of America; they
are truly a blot on the escutcheon
Of the whole United States, for we
stand, the only civilized nation in
the world, the only spot on earth,
where such outrages take place!"
eve Have No Democracy"
DR.. Johnson, who formerly held
diplomatic posts in Venezuela and
Nicaragua, added that the role of
the Negro in this issue was the
test of American democracy. "We
have no democracy" he said, "un-
less it is wide enough and far
reaching enough to cover every
man under the flag, to accord all
men the same rights of life and
liberty. The Negro is the pro-
tagonist of fair play, good will, and
justice. Whether or not he gets

The revival services conducted
by the Bethesda church under the
pastorate of the Rev. A. w. Ross
of jefferson City, Mo-, will reach
it's climax Sunday with three
great gatherings, continuing thru
the entire day. So great has been
the interest aroused that the
church authorities are considering
carrying the revival for a further
period. Increasing numbers have
attended the weekly meetings, and
the several churches of the Twin
Cities have We'd with each other
in the amount and kind of support
given the effort. Each night a
different group has been in charge
of the devotional hour, and the
choirs of Bethesda, augmented by
singers from other congregations,
have given a ringing support to
the stirring messages of the
evangelist.
Young people of the Twin Cities
have shown a very remarkable in
terest, singing in the choir and by
a nightly attendance. Friday, the
young people of st. Paul, led by
John R. Lawrence, Jr., and the
young people of Minneapolis, fol-
lowing Miss Kate Thomas of Beth
esda, joined in contest to see
which group could enroll the larg-
er number. On Sunday afternoon,
a similar contest between these
groups will be held, and the fight
for supremacy continued. Several
other special features will be added
by the evangelist to make the Sun
day services unusual and attrac-
tive; among these, a vocal solo by
Elder A. Gaynes Thompson of the
Adventist church.

To Move To New
Quarters March l
POPULAR BUSINESS TO MOVE
TO NEW QUARTERS

Announcement was made Tues
day of the removal by March !
of the G.. w. Bell Recreation Par
lor to 207 South Third Street
from its present address at $50
Third Ave. So.
This business operated by Clar-
ence w. Bell has been at it's pres
ent location for 20 years. The
fact that the building in which it
is presently housed is being torn
down and that the addition sew
eral months ago of a restaurant
has increased business has made
the move to more modern quarters
imperative.
When Bells Recreation moves
into the building being remodeled
for it at POT Third street south,
the fine equipment enlarged and
brought to date goes with him.
The luncheon will develop into a
dining room. Many ladies have
become patrons of the lunch, pre-
pared under the personal super
vision of Mrs. Bell, and in the
new home special preparations
will be made for the convenience
of this trade. Mr.. Bell hopes to
occupy his new quarters by
March 1.

Cubs utility outhelder, from the
game. Prick had his 16-year-old
son sitting in a box with him, and
is said to have told a newspaper
man that Moriarty's language was
too strong for any youth to hear.
Moriarty has a reputation for De-
ing quick tempered, and has been
involved in trouble before with ball
players. Early in the season OF
1882, Moriarty engaged in a fist
fight with several members Of the
Chicago White Sox after game at
Cleveland. He injured his hand in
the battle, and was out of action
for several weeks but was not dis
ciplined by President Harridge.
Moriarty. who played third base
for Detroit in the 1908 World Series
against Chicago, called the Cubs to
task in the first game when he was
umpiring behind the plate. Hank

complained to Moriarty that the
Cubs were bringing religion into
