Ames Members Refused
Admission To Lodge

Minneapolis Elks had a turbulent
time at their last meeting according
to news which reached us last week
too late for publication.
The exalted ruler accused some
members by inference of carrying
news to Perrys paper" He did not
name the person or persons, when
requested to do so by lodge men,
bers, according to reports.
It is reported that a number OF
Ames lodge members were refused
admission to the lodge meeting al
though they had their cards paid up
and showed them to the doorkeeper
The only reason which was given as
the motivating idea of this order was
that the members locked OUT were
not members of the Geo. Hall-Tom
Galbrcath clique.
Another interesting fact developed
at the last meeting was that the real
power behind the throne in the pres
ent administration, the real boss is
Tom Galbreath, the barber, who
wanted to fight some member OF the
lodge during the meeting and who 1T
is reported went outside to do bat
tie.
More details of this affair later.
The big trouble at the Rest now
in addition to the gambling, whiskey
selling, etc., seems to be over wheth-
er Geo. Hall and his stooges or rather
Tom Galbreath and his Stooges are
bigger than the grand lodge. 1t is
reported that the lodge forced the
exalted ruler to turn over records
of the body which had been ordered
turned over by either the grand sec
retary or the grand exalted ruler.
The Elks are having merry time
because of improper leadership.

After Johnson had been flunked in
two subjects, English and History,
and ordered home, Congressman Ar

made a hurried call at the White
House with a brief-case full of what
he described as evidence of Skull

President Immediately ordered the
johnson case re-opened. Johnson, al
though all packed and ready to 60
home, was not allowed to leave the
Academy, pending the special inves-
tiagtion ordered by the President.
On leaving the White House Con-
gresham Mitchell said: "At no time

II don't think Johnson would have

''This boy is the first Negro at
the Naval Academy in seventy years.
Our boys have Jared all right at West
Point, but the Navy is more hide
bound. This boy has been subject to
all sorts of humiliation, but he's kept
his head. He has been punished many
times for things he was not respons-
ible for. Other boys have messed up
his room after he made it up, so
that he would receive demerits when
it was inspected. Yet nobody has
been punished for this willful and
malicious conduct.
This boy is entitled to square
deal. We don't ask single favor for
him. But if he measures up to the
standards, and his previous record in
dicates that he does, then he ought
to get square deal"

White Girl Cries
For Colored Mate

SEATTLE, Wash.-(C)-Delta Pal
mer Menifield, white, said to be IA,
but whose mother gave her age as
18, when a license was secured for
her to wed John Lee Menifield, 38,
colored, wept for her husband Fri
day as she was detained by police.
The girls mother has been charged
with perjury, and her father and
husband with subornation of perjury
in obtaining the marriage license.
The nationwide agitation against
child brides hit an unexpected snag
when the inter-racial angle entered.
The girl-wife has declared repeatedly
that she loves her husband and wants
only to be with him, while the white
public is mortified at the girls par
ents declaring that love is all that
counts, and are apparently satisfied
to have a colored son-in-law.

GOD is NO RESPECTOR OF
PERSONS
BY A. F. Boyd

The Gospel had been taught to the
hated Samaritans; but they had Jew
ish blood in their veins and kept the
commands of Moses; Philip has
taught and baptized the Ethiopians,
but Philip was not one of the Apos-
ties and his was special case. The
church at Jerusalem was still essen
TALLY Jewish; a new era was dawn
ing, however, a series of wonderful
events changed the narrow Jewish
Christian religion into the universal
Christian religion. The great ques-
ton which the early church had to
settle was the question of the ad-
mission of the Gentiles. The way in
which the truth was brought home
to Peter, and through him to the
others at Jerusalem Cesarea was
the Roman capitol of the Roman pro-
vince of Judea, and was the head
quarters of the Roman troops. Joppa
was 80 miles south of Cesarea at
the southern extremity of the Plain
of Sharon Now, there was a certain
man in Cesarea, Cornelius by name,
a centurian of an Italian band, de-
vout man, and one that feared God
always. He saw in a vision openly
as it were about the ninth hour of
the day, an angel of God coming in
unto him, and saying to him, Cornell
ius. And, he fastening his eyes upon
him, and being affrighted said: What
is it Lord? And he said unto him.
Thy prayers and aims have gone up
for memorial before God, and now
send men to Joppa, and fetch one

lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner,
whose house is by the seaside. And

departed he called two of his house.

80 The Voice
- of the
American Legion

Were the ladies seeking revenge,
or was it new and modern depar-
ture in entertainment for the talr
sex. when members of Baker Post
Auxiliary gathered at the home OF
Mrs. I. L. Moore for What-manleSS
party. she stag, or what would you
call it? No men were present none
were allowed, and the ladies to all
reports had an enjoyable evening.
There had been constant rumorS OF
retaliation on the part of the ladies,
due to Post members gathering once
in a while for an evenings entertain
ment, there has also been a definite
seeking for something new in wom-
ems social activities, so dear reader,
draw your own conclusions.
All we have been able to find out
to date is that the house overfloWed
with ladies who evidenced an aban-
don which had military reflection,
that the party was so successful that
they had to move the furniture out
to make room for the large number
that gathered, that the auxiliary
did something that their better
halves have seldom if ever done, that
is, make their effort show a sub
stantial financial profit.
It is also rumored that the ladies
intend to give another such affair
soon. 1 imagine it was no task for
the girls to explain to friend hus-
band, as they have been listening to
all sorts of excuses for years, and
in my case, repetition being vain
thing, for long time have had to
resort to the ingenious. We do know
for a certainty that Ike Moore spent
a cheerless two hours in his car in
front of his house, that the ladies
wouldn't even let him in his base
ment, which in the light of Ike's past,
is bringing things home with a veng-
eance.
There has been another rumor that
the ladies hired the entertainers who
had served the Post at previous stays,
and had them do the same things
that they had done for the gentle
men, in their moment of recreation.
If so, there will be others resort
to the imagination, when they re-
count their adventures at home, of
their next entertainment. Already it
is said that there are repercussions,
one man spent a longer time than
usual away from home Sunday, and
it is said that another was seen en-
tering the bus station Monday morn
ing and has not been seen since.
Be that as it may, our hats are off
to the ladies in their endeavor, and
we hope that Dicky or somebody has
the mumps next time.

Cost $780, O.95Upkeep
OF Each Convict In
State Penitentisry

Calling attention to the fact that
it costs $39O95 a year to keep a
young man in the state penitentiary
at Saltwater but only S13.23 for care
under the Big Brothers, Community
Fund agency, ]. G. Mariner, re-elect-
ed President of Big Brothers, In
corporated, urged Minneapolis busi-
ness and professional men to give
more thought to the lonely and un-
der-privileged boy. Mr. Mariner spoke
before the Annual Meeting of Big
Brothers, Inc, held Friday, February
26 in the Citizens Aid Building.
Crime is not only expensive but
continued lawlessness on the part of
youth threatens economic security"
said Mr. Mariner. 'If business men
are to build a sound future in the
business and professional fields of
this country, they must pay more at
tention to the young boys who are
growing up without leadership or
family"
The speaker called attention to the
fact that thousands of boys in Min
nesota had been left entirely on their
own devices during the past few
years and, as result, had developed
companions and habits that led them
on to the wrong road
In addition to the reelection of
Mr. Mariner as President the follow
ing men were elected as officers and
board members of the Big Brothers:
j. Raymond Riley, Vice President;
M. A. Buehler, Secretary and Treas
urer; Rev. Austin Purdue, Paul Gull
ford, Henry Voegeli, Dean Schweick-
hard, Elio Monachesi, Walter Quist
and Russell c. Duncan.

TUSKEGEE. (C) = There has
been 5000 drop in lynchings during
the past fifty years, according to
President F. D. Patterson of Tuske-
gee Institute, after reviewing the sta

the disappearance of the Southern

in a recital at The Town Hall Sum

val Parham. The Herald-Tribune
said:
"Mr. Hayes voice seemed to have
gained since his last appearance here
in flexibility and ability to assume
the particular vocal hue necessary
for the expressive atmosphere of any
given song. Occasionally, early in
the program, there was a certain
lack of sorority, some pianissimi in
the Beethoven songs receiving tones
of somewhat whispering quality,
but the appealing timbre which
marks Mr.. Hayes singing in general
was well illustrated, especially after

at church services, ministers have
taken an after collection for the
Red Cross. In some churches, open
criticism of the discriminatory prac-
tices of the Red Cross have been
heard. many claiming the Salvation
Army proved during the World War
that it is much fairer to the colored
people than the Red Cross. Ministers
have invariably met the criticism
with the argument that even though
this may be true, they cannot afford
to take stand against giving aid to
suffering at a time like this, on the
ground that there is discrimination.
1t is better, they say, to help, know
ing there is some discrimination, than
to allow the record to show that they
refused to help the needy and suf-
fering for any reason whatsoever.
