Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

The most startling statement in
DIR. Stanley Highs "Black Omens"
in the Saturday Evening Post of
May 81, is the definite assertion
that the Negroes of America are
getting together"
Many thousands of the more
than 100000 Post readers know
very little of the country's Negro
citizens though it is conceded they
number 10 in every 100 of popu-
lation.
The chief interest for Negroes
in DR.. Highs article and in the one
that is to follow lies not in the
thought that white men will find
so intriguing; rather it is because
this important and informative de-
ductiOn will be placed before such
a large section of thinking Ameri-
cans by a publication acknOwl-
edged to be one of the foremost
journals of the day whose readers
are found in every section of the
United States.
I question if there is an in
formed Negro in this country un-
aware of this developing trend
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1938-05-27

Clifford Rucker, last week sent out
a plea to fellow Negro state en-
ployes for a meeting to decide how
much "do-ra-mi" the Negro state
employees should contribute to the
campaign fund. Brother Rucker,
who belongs to the white controlled
Third Ward Farmer-Labor club,
Hennepin County, evidently would
like to take the "play" away from
the Ervin-Albright, regular organi-
cation. Most of the new employees
of the state were endorsed by the
Rondo club and probably will not
take kindly to the Rucker strategy
and jockeying for power and posi-
ton.
In Hennepin county Mrs. Fannie
M. Shanks is active in Republican
circles. Hobart T. Mitchell, per-
ennial political worker who trained
in the last state campaign with the
former Albright Ervin-Pe COM
bine is not known to be active at
present but no doubt when the po-
litical pot begins to boil and over
flow he will be around.
Hamlet B. Rowe, who carries
much weight among the Negro
voters on the Northside, will prob
ably do his usual solo in this cam
paign and produce the required
number of votes to carry the can
didates he favors.
Harry L. Scott, the stormy petrol
of Minneapolis politics, threw a
bomb shell into Northside Mime
apolis politics when he filed for
County Commissioner from the
Fourth District against I. G. Scott,
Farmer-Labor leader. H. L. will
get a lot of votes from all classes
and colors and it will be interesting
to see how the Negro Farmer
Laborites in that section take his
candidacy.
For Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict the incumbent Melvin Mas,
Republican, will be opposed by
Howard Y. Williams, as good a
friend to the colored people as the
state has known. Famer-Labor
Congressman Dewey johnson of the
Fifth District, where the colored
vote is large, forgot all about the
large Negro support given him two
years ago, according to the muir
muring heard in that section. john

recognizing the need for mass
pressure and knows that mass pres
sure can be invoked only as he
learns to think and act together
and to follow the counsels of lead
ers he has learned to trust or is

This publication and this writer
through his weekly column has
called this to attention many, many
times.
Without the unrestricted ballot
our people are helpless. With it we
can soon remove Jim Crow in all
its hateful forms: educational limi-
tatiOns, economic handicaps, social
bugabOOs, all the unbearable pro-
scriptiOns that have induced thou
sands to leave the section in which
they were born and reared to go
into a strange land in which they
hoped and in many cases have
found surcease from the source of
all their troubles.
The surprising thing is that we
have been so long awakening to
the knowledge that the patent
nostrums we have. been trying are
as ineffective for our situation as
patent medicine is to restore a sick
body to permanent healthfulness.
We are agreed as to the source of
our Affections.
Logic dictates it should be at
tackled at this point and destroyed
root and branch. And this the
Post writer admits when he de-
clares, ut is not possible to say
where the Negroes of the North
are going. But there is much evil
dence that, wherever it is, they will
go there together. If there is
place in the sun for the Negro this
in the Negroes opinions his
only chance to get it"
And this inspires this final OBJ
servatiOn.
The whole is only the sum of all
its parts. Minnesota Negroes are
one of those parts. What they
think and how they act has its eff
feet equally with every other part
throughout the nation We have
in recent months made valuable
strides in group thinking-in group
cooperation. 1t is valuable. It is
most important that we take no
backward steps. We have within
ourselves the power to invoke sal,
walton for ourselves and for our
people. Fairminded people of
every race will recognize the need,
will help to speed it's realization.

fury, so historians say. In those
far distant days, a charivari was
carried out in precisely the same
way, except that it was meant to
express disapproval rather than the
approval that it carries today.
Charivarists went masked in those
days, and harassed people whose
marriages didn't quite meet the
laws of custom. Second mar

whose ages were far apart were

Lawyers

The lawyer is friend in need
Fixes up affairs and straightens out deeds.
We use him at all times when in doubt
AS to what is the right way to solve law bout.
Advice is what we pay for,
Whether successful not good sports
For money spent where results
Makes feel good though than dreamed
When in trouble with the law do not have to have
To summon lawyer with gift of CAB
For shrewdness does not always
From talking always but thinking some
The lawyer is confidential friend
He knows all our business from end to end.
For he tells US when his office visit
He wants to know the facts success in it.
The day of the trial we have all the faith
That center in the legal race
For our hopes put all in place
For want to be free from all disgrace.
