New Enterprise
Young Men Enter
Business Field
THE SWEET SHOP

Unique among Twin City bust
nesses, the Sumner Sweet Shop,
located at 642 Sixth Avenue No. in
Minneapolis, officially opens its
doors Saturday, March 81, to serve
the public. Five enterprising young
men - Robert Bolton, Clifford
Rucker, William Simms, Herbert
Howell, and Sam Johnson--have
united their resources to make this
business establishment possible.
Upon the premise that a person
often makes a mis-step in life by
standing still, these boys reason
that there is progress only in en-
deavor.
The Sumner Sweet Shop will
carry a full line of corrections,
soft drinks, and candies. The line
of merchandise which adds the
unique touch will be a complete
line of Negro beauty preparations
-BSem pug s1edsdsMsu o15eN pus
zines. From time to time and as
the demand grows, other products
Of Negro manufacturers will be
handled here. Incidentally, it will
be an agency for a high grade,
one-day service on cleaning and
pressing and laundry.
In the opening Of the Sumner
Sweet Shop, Twin Citians see evil
dence for the first time Of the Co
operative idea which has been
spreading with such rapidity
through the progressive south and
east. AS in other instances, youth
again has asserted its pioneering
spirit.

WHO KILLED
COCK ROBIN
st. Paul Wants to
Know

In the language of the great
"walker-out," AL Smith, "That we
may keep the record straight"
may it be stated that a casual ex-
animation of the facts reveal that
no one person is responsible for
the change of attitude respecting
the interracial use of the St. Paul
Y. M. C. A.
To old-timers the horizon of the
past is lifted to reveal names of
many who did valuable work on
the case. In that list loom such
names as Thomas H. Lyles, James
H. LOOMS, Frederick L. McGhee,
Harry Howard, w. T. Billy
Francis, Fred D. Parker, Thomas
R. Morgan, John w. Kelly, Joseph
Strong, Richard (Dick) Anderson,
VIM. Alexander, all deceased.
It is nearly thirty years since an
unbrotherly Interpretation of the
religion of Jesus began in the Y.
M. C. A. A generation has passed.
New Negroes and new Caucasians
are upon the scene. Christianity is
known better for it's present use
than it's future hope. During the
period mentioned, churches, Sun
day clubs, the N. A. A. G. P, the
Helpers, Big Brother Bible Class,
women's clubs, mems clubs, lodges,
Boy Scouts, together with many
private individuals, black and
white, did what they could to re-
move the barrier. Each effort was
worth while.
For the last five years the effort
has been carried forward in a quiet
campaign of education. It consist
ed of appearances before young
peoples societies of various white
churches - singers of spifituals
have gone forth accompanied by a
fifteen-minute speaker. Mrs. Alice
Stewart, Mrs. Leila Smith, Mrs.
Henrietta Coins and Robert Nit
chell directed groups usually ac-
companied by the same speaker.
More recently perhaps the tell
ing leadership has been furnished
by the "Y. w." Interracial Com

Observations
By CECIL NEWMAN

Long ago I learned to my sor-
row, that not all rats were four
legged. Many a fellow who I
worked hard to elevate in the eyes
of his fellow citizens was the first
to stab me in the back the minute
I turned it. None of this has par
ticularly halted my intentions to
do well by my fellowman. In fact,
it has been only the reverse. It
still gives me pleasure to help
some person along the way.
Since I've been away from Min
neapolis, friends have written,
telling me some of the fantastic
tales which have been banded
around. If half of them were true,
would not now be working here
in St. Louis. All my friends know
my address. It is on file at the
office Of this newspaper, contrary
to the widely spread rumor that
my whereabouts are unknown.
Anyone wishing to correspond with
me may do so by writing Cecil E.
Newman, general manager, ST.
LOUIS CALL, 713 No. Compton,
st. Louis, Mo-, or to 800 Third st.
&c., this city.
Now that that's off my chest, a
few observations. st. Louis Negroes
are little different than the Twin
City variety. There are good ones
and there are bad ones. Some are
awake and many others are asleep
at the switch. The town is full of
professional folk. There are about
100 lawyers but all are men. There
are some white women attorneys
but none of them compare with
L. o. Smith who is just about the
best woman attorney in the entire
Northwest. You don't have to take
my word for it. Various judges
before whom she has practiced
have said the same thing to me
time and time again. Sometimes
one wonders that such a brilliant
woman can be kept in the rather
small confines of the Twin Cities.
All I know is what I read in the
newspapers. I take it from what
I see in the Minneapolis papers
that there is another vice crusade
going on. Usually these vice
crusades Investigate" the Negro
who forms only one-half Of one per
cent of the population. After the
dailies rake the Minneapolis
Northside (color portion) over the
Goals then the investigation ends.
Bigger game meanwhile is ignored.
The cullud brother, poor in the ma
terial necessities, unorganized and
practically defenseless, must al
ways bear this onus and submit
without protest.
Twin City Negroes and those
elsewhere also should begin now to
cultivate their political soil. In
st. Louis almost every Negro
votes. A few miles farther south
from this city thousands of fellow
Negro citizens can't vote. In Min
neapois and st. Paul there are
over 1900 Negroes who are either
too lazy or ignorant to register
and vote. I know many hate to
have such matters publicized but
the truth seldom hurts-perma-
nently.
I don't care what others may
think but I know the Spokesman
and the Recorder has published
the best Negro weeklies the two
towns have ever had. Most people
who think realize this and have
given the papers generous sup
port. We are hoping that this
support will continue despite my
absence from the scene. The
papers are in charge Of a group of
people who are conscientiously in
terested in giving the Twin Cities
a good newspaper. If you are a
good citizen even if you dislike
