Morals Squad
Invades Ames
Lodge Home

Last Saturday night about 40
guests of the Elks' Rest, 148 Hy-
land NJ, private home of the Ames
Lodge, No. LOG, Elks of the World,
were terrorized by a squad of
police led by AL Palmerstein,
morals squad chief.
After ignoring membership
cards which were exhibited by the
members and stating that he could
buy such cards for 25 cents per
dozen, Palmerstein proceeded to
alarm the guests by parading
through the club and threatening
to call the patrol wagons.
Edward L. Boyd, manager of the
home, was arrested and charged
with selling liquor without a IL
cense. Three bottles of whiskey
belonging to members were seized.
In Municipal Court, Monday, be-
fore Judge Luther Youngdahl,
Boyd pleaded not guilty. After
hearing testimony on both sides,
Judge Youngdahl took the case
under advisement. Among those
who testified in behalf of the lodge
were Geo. Hall, exalted ruler;
Boyd, the defendant, and Cecil E.
Newman, newspaper editor and
member of the lodge.
Attorney Harry L. Scott, a mem
Der of Ames Lodge, represented
the defendant.
Wednesday, Judge Youngdahl
found the defendant not guilty.
Lodge 80 Years Old
Although Palmerstein remarked
at the time of the raid and in court
that he did not think the lodge was
a bona fide organization his igno-
rance was shown when testimony
was introduced to show that Ames
Lodge is over 80 years old and has
owned its lodge home for IA years.

HERE and
THERE
By w. M. Smith

Looking through the Public
Pulse" of Saturdays Minneapolis
Tribune my attention was held by
a letter some one had written pro-
testing the reactions that seem to
have followed the colored people on
certain recent happenings.
The letters point of view was so
sane, so logically expressed and
withal so restrained that my first
thought was that it was written by
one of the white members of the
Urban League or the Phyllis
Wheatley boards.
I was surprised to find that it
was signed by Martin Brown, one of
our own business men. My sur
prise was not that Martin could
write such a letter, but that he
would, for Brown is among our
most radical thinkers and more
than apt to throw caution to the
winds in expressing himself.
In case the letter is not repro
duced in this issue get the Satur-
day Evening Tribune and enjoy
reading it.
Three million voters were eager
ly awaiting the published platform
as adopted by the Republican Ma
tional convention Friday, June IL.
Of course, there were many more
millions than these waiting to read
that same document. But the most
concerned were the three millions
of colored voters who had every
reason to hope the document would
present to them a very special
message with a very definite pro-
nouncement, upon matters that be-
come more and more vital to their
future. For many weary months
they had watched the futile efforts
to have the Democratic administra-
ton place it's "must" behind the
anti-lynching law pending in the
congress. They had every reason
to believe that the Republican mi
nority would seize the opportunity
to declare in its platform its forth
right disapproval of the tactics of
a Democratic majority that could
so easily have come to the rescue
of the colored brother, but would
not and this is what they read:
We favor equal opportunity
for our colOred citizens. We
pledge our protection of their
economic status and personal
safety. We will do our best
to further their employment in
the gainfully occupied life of
America, particularly in pri-
vate industry, agriculture,
emergency agencies and the
civil service.
We condemn the present
new deal policies which would
regiment and ultimately elimi-
nate the colored citizen from
the cOuntry's productive life,
and make him solely ward of
the federal government.
And, of course, the Negro voter
is disappointed, Disguised and sore
at it's Indebtedness and weakness.
He points to the vigorous language
of the plank against monopolies, as
an example of what he had hoped
for. Here it is: .. ..
MONOPOLIES
A private monopoly is indie
feasible and intOlerable. It
menaces and, if continued, will
utterly destroy constitutional
government and the liberty of
the citizen.
We favor the vigorous en-
fOrcement of the criminal laws,
as well as the civil laws,
against monopOlies and trusts
and their officials, and we de-
mand the enactment of such
additional legislation as is
necessary to make it impOssi-
BILE for private monopoly to

MIR. Mittens' triumphant return home
was due cause for rejoicing. He and
his wife rode up to New Chicago where
all their friends joined in the gay
celebration. Everybody congratulated
them and voiced their hearty welcome
by setting up drinks. Consequently by
evening the whole town was in drunk
en- uproar, with the Mittens, to each
of whom the passing years had added
many pounds, the natural center OF the
festivities. Everyone was happy. al
though few, at this final stage, could
doubtless have explained the primal
reason for their happiness. At last the
reunited couple, having sung and
shouted and laughed themselves hoarse,
decided to go home. Kind hands helped
them onto their horses where they
perched unsteadily. AS parting token
a generous bartender gave them each
bottle of whisky. The whole town
stood watching them ride out Of sight
up the canyon, swaying perilously IN
their saddles.
For the sombre finale TO that gay
day of reunion we have only Dennis
Mitten's heart-broken confession. 1t
was very cold, he said, and there was
about four inches Of snow on the
ground. When they had Travelled with
In q mile Of their ranch MRS. Mitten,
who had been seeking warmth and
comfort from her bottle all the way,
toppled off her horse and lay in the
snow in a drunken gtupor. Dennis was
in a serious predicament 1t was inn

huge, limp woman back into her sad

knocked the latter down. Dennis ran for
his wife's needle gun, shouting:
I'm shoot you and shoot you until
I can knock you down."
He aimed and fired at the man who
apparently deemed prudence the better
part of valor, for he was running, as
fast as he could, through thick under
brush toward the river, with Mr.. Mitten
close at his heels, firing every step OF
the way, and with loyal Mrs. Mitten
shouting excited advice:
you're oVer-shooting, Dennis. You're
ver-shooting himl"
The thick underbrush proved bene-
factor to the fleeing human target and
the man succeeded in reaching the
river and started swimming across. Dem
mis- fired one last parting shot into
the water at random and then returned
to his saloon, evidently defeated. But
about month later the laborer's body
was found on sandbar near Missoula
with one bullet in the heart. MiSSoula
officers investigated and came UP to
Hell Gate and arrested Dennis Mitten
on murder charges. He was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to serve II years

exerted all his influence to help Dem

don for him.

In all the territory from Montana to
the Pacific He traced all the great
rivers to their sources and he was the
first white man to discover and explore
the upper Columbia watershed, that
portion of Montana known as the Flat
head country. We know that one sum-
mer afternoon in about 1900 he sat on
the summit of Mount Jumbo, one of
the mountains overlooking MiSsoula
and made q map of that region. What
would be his feeling If he could stand
on that same summit today?
On foot. by canoe and on horseback
David Thompson Travelled more than
$4,000 miles up and down the north
west. The maps and surveys to which
he had devoted 20 years were published
in 1911. Although later surveyors with
modern instruments have checked his
maps and surveys closely they have
been able to find few errors. That he
could have done such perfect work in
the conditions under which he lived and
travelled seems almost a miracle. Lakes,
mountains and rivers appeared with
amazing accuracy on his maps.
Thompson was a figure OF great mys-
terry to the Indians and they regarded
him with superstitious awe, giving him
the name Of Koo-K Oo-Sint, the man
who looks at the stars To them his
long telescope, which he pointed so
often toward the heavens. was an in
Strument of magic, o medicine stick

He was their great friend.
David Thompson was map maker
because ne loved that work. He re-.
ceived little encouragement and never
during his lifetime was he given any
honor for the great service he had
rendered in giving 10 the world his
knowledge of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion. For half century his work and
achievements received no attention. He
died In poverty In Montreal in 1857.
His body was buried In Mount Royal
cemetery without even stone to mark
his place.

Probably the greatest One-man
exploration in all history was that
made by David Thompson, the man
for whom Thompson Falls and
Thompson river in western Montana
were named. For more than half
a century Thompson prOwled the
region from Fort Churchill, the
most northern post Of the Hud-
sons Bay Co., to the COlumbia
journeys of exploration he travelled
alone but during part of his ex-
plOrati0n in western Montana he
was accompanied by JOcc0 Finley,
for whom JOck0 river in the lower
Flathead valley is named.
David Thompson's origin was
humble. He was born to his poor Welsh
parents in London, April 30, ITO. When
still a small boy he was left an orphan,
and at IA he became an apprentice IN
the Hudson's Bay Co. He was sent i'm
to America to enter the fur
trade. For a number of years he was
a clerk in the company's various posts
on the shores of Hudson's bay. His life
in the wilderness was one Of continual
interest. He came to know the Indians
He made a number of short exploration
trips in the vicinity of Hudson's Bay
and he longed to make a real journey
Of exploration to the unknown regions
Of the south. In 1870 he met with Phil
lip Turner, an astronomer and sur
veyor who taught him many things
and encouraged his ambitions TO be-
come an explorer. Thompson's chance
came when the Hudson's Bay Co. want
ed someone to go exploring in the In
tereSts of the fur trade. Thompson was
chosen. He went gaily into the wilder
ness on the greatest lone trek in his
tory. He discovered new fur country for
his employers but he also spent much
time making maps Of the regions trav-
erSed. His maps were accurately drawn
many Of them found perfect by modern
photographers.
But the Hudsons Bay Co. was not in
terested in maps. Company officials
we're interested in big fur shipments
and IN dividends and so Thompson was
ordered to cease his map making and
devote his time only to company work.
That was In 1876 and Thompson
bid the Hudsons Bay Co. q
1ot too fond adieu and entered the en-
1lCy Of the Northwest Fur Co. This
'irm allowed the young man more time
or his map work and it was during
