NEGROES IN THE NEWS
Dean H. nj. Smith
Lindbergh's Latest Flight

For years most Of us Americans
have followed the movements of Col
onel Charles A Lindbergh with in
terest and pride. The great trans
Atlantic air-flight of the Lone Eagle
has been pushed into the shadow
land of insignificance, however, by
the more recent steamship-fight
with his family to England. His an
nounced reason for leaving America
the lawlessness and unsafety of
life and limb in our country-serves
to remind the entire world ola fact
that 1000 lynchings and brutal mob
murders had failed to drive home.
Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic with
his wife and baby and every Negro
fleeing racial prejudice and injus-
tice, both tell the world the same
story-America is neither safe nor
civilized.

Jury Report Fails To Bring
Call For Northside Clean Up
LEADERS URGE DRIVE
AGAINST RAcKETEERINC

A plea for united action in rid
ding the north side Of its undesir-
abies and better law enforcement
was sounded by leaders of local
organizations when they had read
the report Of the county grand
jury's final report. Many, how
ever, expressed regrets that the
grand jurys Investigations failed
to touch the north side situation
- It effects the Minneapolis Me-
gro.
While private citizens had FORM
ed their opinions Of the present
north side conditions they were
losthe to freely express them
selves. Although the grand jury
In It's report was specific in many
details Of its Investigations II
failed to give the colored citizens
Of Minneapolis any relief from
the racketeers Of its own group.
In It's investigation Of the LIQUOR
and gambling complaints It did
not touch the terrible mess that
now is allowed to 90 on at the
Apex Mite Club. Had it done so
and had those responsible for law
enforcement Of that district car
ried out their sworn duty the Apex
Club would have been closed. It
could not dispense liquor without
license nor could it run all night
dances without dance license, and
maintain a place Of gambling. tt.
doors would have been closed
tight.
: In matters Of Negro racfeteer-
ing. pimps, prostitutes, and the
methods already emploved by
them It has made startling rev.
elation, and one that should awak-
en- every Nero. taxpaver, organ
izstion and its CLERGY to an insist
ent deaand for a cleanup not on
" Of the Apex but other dives Of
its type.
II is an omen affront to the cit
liens Of Minneapolis, to allow
places Of this character openly de-
~ them and the laws. We just get
as much law enforcement as we
want. Unless public opinion is ar
oused we can't get more than q
little.
Il Is to be regretted that the
grand jury was no more specific
with regard to Negro crime that
is now going on. though 1t made an
excellent report it failed to give
relief to the Negro citizens. Let
as hope the nresent jury win call

Mr.. Spaulding. "If man fancies
that there is some easier way Of

earning it, he has lost his clue to his

henceforth wander as chance may
dictate"
"Roger Babson made a statement

the best year in five and that 1886

fARMER.LABOR CRISIS
/ IN GOV. OLSON'S DEATH
Lieut.. Gov. Petersen and Repre-
sentative Lundeen Among Those
n Suggested to Lead Party.
BY JERRY VESSELS,

= Special Correspondent of The Star.
I ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 29.-De-
prived Of Floyd B. Olsons brilliant
leadership, Minnesota's potent Farmer
Labor party faces its first real crisis
since 1t obtained control Of the State
government six years ago.
Several are bidding for an oppor-
tinity to take Olsons place.
Projected first and most prominently
into the spotlight by the Governors
death is Hjalmer Petersen, who. as
Lieutenant Governor, takes the State
executives chair until January l.
Petersen long has cherished guberna-
torial ambitions.
Critics judged that the State Cen
tral Committee would persuade Rep
resentative Ernest Lundeen Of Mime
apolis to take Olson's place on the
ticket and permit Senator Elmer Ben
son to 60 ahead with his race for the
governorship.
Party heads see in Lundeen likely
successor to Olson in maintaining q
powerful alliance with the factions Of
the Minnesota Democratic party under
an agreement that has helped the
Roosevelt cause and has greatly aided
Farmer-Labor successes
