HERE and
THERE
By w. NJ. Smith

Many streets in Minneapolis are
badly torn up and no one seems to
be sorry, because the city fathers
have decided to repave; it means
work for the unemployed. So every
body detours with a smile. I see
a number of colored men in the
crews, not as many as 1 could wish,
but still quite a lot. The Urban
League will be glad to assist any
one who wants a job on the street.
Call them if you need this work,
or, better yet, go to the office at
10 South Fourth street; they may
be able to help you to something
else.
I am grateful to the lady who
suggested to me a few weeks ago
an idea for this column. Brisbane,
+ understand, has a corps of sec
retaries who keep him informed of
subjects of current interest; many
another finds assistance from his
public, but this columnist is left to
his own devices and must get his
matter from the air or out of his
own head; the air often refuses
to contribute and his head as often
is empty. So thanks again for the
tip. Come again.
1 received left-handed compli-
ment the other day and 1 am still
undecided whether to pat myself
on the back or to feel detected. A
friend dropped into the office to
get paper he had missed. Said
he, 81 miss the paper so, when it
fails to come. read everything
in it, that is, everything except
your column; I know that what you
write is always good, so sometimes
I pass it up" So what!
Among the resolutions passed
by the young peoples division of
the recent Minnesota Baptist AS
ISOLATION, was one that said in eff
feet, that men and women of the
Baptist faith, and of other faiths,
or of none, should "make wise use
Of the ballot, to the end that men
and measures forwarding the well
fare of their people might receive
the unanimous support of the
Negro group"
Commenting upon it, the Rev.
Lee w. Harris, moderator of the
convention, said: "This is a very
timely resolution, should like to
have the press give it wide pub
icity." We fully agree so here it
is.

The Flower and Garden Show,
annually sponsored by the Sunday
Forum, is now a matter of history
as far as 1896 is concerned. With
the drought and all being taken
into consideration, the affair was
easily up to standard. A large
crowd was in attendance, and the
entries were good and very much
appreciated. Many fine prizes
were given away, including those
dispensed at the door. The Civic
Committee is to be highly compi-
mented for this splendid annual
institution. It is the sort of thing
that our group should go in for to
greater extent. Any endeavor to
promote appreciation for the bless
ings and beauties of Nature is
worthy of anyone's support. Spe-
cial commentator must go to Mr..
Wallace Rodney whose untiring
efforts over a period of several
months make this annual affair
possible. Congratulations, commit

GERMANY LAUNCHES
26,OOO.TON WARSHIP
Battleship Christened Scharnhorst
for 18th Century Prussian
Military Hero.
Nv the ts,octated Press.

BY the associated Press.
wILHELMSHAFEN, Germany, Oc-
tober 3.-Germany's first 26,000-ton
battleship was launched today by Gen.
Werner Won Blomberg, minister OF
war.
II was christened Scharnhorst,
after Gen. Gerhard Johann David Won
Scharnhorst, early nineteenth century
Prussian military hero.
The name, Gen. Won Blomberg ex-
planned, was doubly symbolic. 1t also
was borne by the World War cruiser
which was sunk by British gunfire
in the great battle of the Falkland
Islands in the South Atlantic, in 1914.
1t was Gen. Won Scharnhorst who
early in the nineteenth century created
Prussias universal compulsory mill
tary service.
This ship therefore can bear no
worthier name than that of the man
who $50 years ago. when Prussia lay
crushed, saw in the fusion Of the
army with the people the secret OF
victory and the guarantee Of freedom"
Won Blomberg said.
The battleship, which has been
called "battleship D." will carry nine
1l-inch guns and twelve 6-inch anti
aircraft pieces.
