MUST BUY LADY A
FALL HAT
By Cecil e. Newman

Last week rumlnatlOnS IN these
columns in which we made q public
wager to buy a Fall hat for anyone
who could locate a Negro citizen
employed in any of the state or
county political headquarters is 60
ing to cost us that new Fall hat.
Tuesday morning bright and
early the mail man brought us a
letter from Miss Mildred Brooks,
of st. Paul, revealing the startling
intelligence that she had been en-
ployed at Republican state head
quarters in St. Paul since Aug. 7.
We bow in the direction of
Messrs. Tom McCabe and Leroy
MatsOn, Republican state generals,
for our glaring error.
MatsOn is reported as saying he
did not consider the placement as
anything to call attention to from
the racial angle. We quite agree
with him, the employment of
single person is nothing for the
G. o. P. to brag about. If Mr.. Mat
son thinks his party is going to cut
any figure in the Negro vote in
November he will have to do much
more. In fact, if he was as astute
as he would have people believe,
the work among the cOlOred people
would be placed in charge of some
Negro who understands the situa-
ton thoroughly. Brother MatsOn is
reported as not liking our article.
This is to be expected. Few
politicians want to hear the truth.
What we said about the G. o. P,
the Democrats and the Farmer
Laborites last week was mild to
what we intend to say in future
articles. Praise and caustic criti-
cism will be given without regard
to party or candidate.
Negro G.. o. P. ranks have lost
Joseph Albright of Duluth who will
be active in the campaign to re-
elect Roosevelt.
In 1892 Albright was a staunch
Hoover supporter. He is reported
close to John Erickson, Democratic
National Committeeman. From
all signs the Democrats are going
to conduct an intense campaign
among Minnesota Negroes.
1t looks like J. Louis Erwin, Ora
C. Hall and Albright will have the
direction of the F. D. R. Aframeri-
can campaign.
John T. Lyons, Farmer-Labor
state campaign manager, thought
we were unfair to Floyd b. Olson
in last weeks editorial on the late
departed FL chieftain.
Strange as it may seem, Ernest
Lundeen will get more votes from
the Negro element than the late
Floyd B. Olson. Lundeen has a
large Negro following which
ignores party lines. His interest in
the man farthest down has en-
deared him to underprivileged min
Ority groups. Years ago he knocked
down with his fist a huge white
fellow who insulted the late Chas.
Sumner Smith, at a Spanish War
Veterans meeting.
Lundeen is no fair weather
politician and has known the hard
ships of defeat. Many colored
voters will mark an X behind his
name. Many Negroes admired o.
son but did not vote for him.
Olson had peculiar ideas about
our folk. We believe he was
singularly devoid Of race prejudice
but we do know he failed his colored
cohorts as far as patronage goes.
Ask Harry Scott, Minneapolis at
torney, about how Olson kept his
word. Olson was the only state
chief executive who was always

to get my scent. I'll just cut across to my old trail and unless I am greatly mistaken I'll find hi tracks there."
 So. swiftly but silently, the hunter cut across to his old trail and in few moments he found just what he expected one of Lightfoot's footprints. Once more he grnned. Well, old fel- low, I've outguessed you this time, ' said he to himself. ''I am behind you and the wind is from you to me so that you cannot get my scent. l wouldn't be a bit surprised if you're back right where you started from, behind that old windfall." He at once began to move forward silently and cautiously with eyes and ears alert

LANDLORDS DELISION

The sadlooking man In the tene- ment area leaned over the banlster8 and caught the visitor before sine could disappear down a hole in the staircase.

and his terrible gun ready for instant use.
 Now when Lightfoot, following be- hind the hunter, had lost the scent of the latter, he guessed right away that the latter had found his tracks and had started to follow them. Lightfoot stood still and listened with all his might for some little sound to tell him where the hunter was. But there was no sound and after little LightfoOt began to move on. He didn't dare re- main still lest the hunter should creep up within shooting distance.
 There was only one direction in which 1t was safe for Lightfoot to move, and that was the direction from which the Merry Little Freezes were blowing. AS long as they brought him none of the dreaded man smell he knew that he was safe. The hunter might be behind him. Probably he was. But ahead of him, s1 long as the Mer- " Little Freezes were blowing in his face and brought no dreaded man. smell, was safety.

WIT AGAINST WIT

TT WAS dreadful game the hunter l with the terrible gun and Lightfoot the Deer were playing In the Green Forest. It was a matching of wit against wit, the hunter seeking to take Lightfoot's life and Lightfoot seeking to save 1t. The experience of other years had taught Lightfoot much of the ways of hunters and not one of the things he had learned about them was forgotten. But the hunter In his turn knew much of the ways of deer. So 1t was that each was trying his best to outguess the other.
 When the hunter found the hiding place Lightfoot had left at the warning of Sammy Jay, he followed Lightfoot's tracks for a short distance. It was slow work and only one whose eyes had been trained to notice little things could have done it. You see, there was no snow and 1t was only now and then when he had stepped on bit of soft ground that Lightfoot had left foot print. But there were other signs which the hunter knew how to read, freshly upturned leaf here and there, a bit of moss lightly crushed. These things told the hunter which way Lightfoot had gone.
 Slowly, patiently, watchfully, the hunter followed. After while he stopped with satisfied grin. "I thought as much," he muttered. He heard that pesky Jay and circled around so as

PATTY WENT TO SCHOOL TODAY
By ANNE CAMPBELL,

DATTY went to school today It is lonely on our street No small girl to smile my way,
 No bright curls and twinkling feet. All her playmates are in school, Barry, Phil and little Nan It was noisy, as rule,
 On our street till school began. Sometimes In the afternoons,
 When they took their maps at three, There were no bright baby tunes, And no voices calling me. Now the morning breeze Is cool, And September's sky is gray. All the sunshine is in school,
 Patty went to school today!

Ellen and Lillian Rylance of this city and Lilly Rylance of Richmond, Va. The suit Is returnable to the court of common pleas in April.
 The alleged fall was sustained Oct. 26, 1885, as Mrs Laviana was leaving the three-story house on Orange street after a visit with a tenant. The exit from the house, she charges, leads to side driveway, and the walk along this driveway was badly cracked. One of the cracks caused her to fall, she charges, giving her severe injuries.
 Mrs. Laviana claims that the fall brought her injuries to the knees, shins, arms, wrist and hips, and other injuries. In addition, she claims, the fall brought a return of the diabetic condition, with which she had been previously afflicted but which she claimed had been cured.
 It is charged that the defendants were negligent in not caring for the walk, and that 1t was their duty to keep 1t in good repair.
 Attorney Philip N. Bernstein rep resents Mrs. Laviana. The papers in the suit were served by Constable Samuel Lucas.
