should be done about the C. P. T.
which most of Twin Citians just
love to practice. Announce a meet
ing for 8 p. m. and most of the
folks will drag in from 4 to 5

fair at 10 p. m. and it will be 1890
before most of the crowd arrives.
The "old line" about all of the men
folks working so late is rather
stale at this date. The old C. p.
Time (you know what we mean)
extends even to the employment of
too many folks and it has its bad
effects in the industrial field.
Somebody ought to start a cam

In behalf of the Red Caps

our sincere appreciation and thanks
for the space and publicity you
have given our struggle to bring
dignity and respect to our jobs.
Our task, along with other sec
tons of the great body Of organ
lied American labor, has been one
of constant day to day struggle in
the interest of elementary human
decency, justice, social and econom-
ic security. You can be assured
that through your unbiased presen-
tation of our problems to the read
ing public, you not only render US
great service, but also to the
broad population of working men
and women in this country.
With best wishes for the con-

was just making up his mind as to
which girl he'd honor with dance,
but upon looking in the same direc-

still scratching his head. So it
must have been plain case of abb

as yet, had gotten a chair back in
a strategic" corner and was very
busy watching the dancers. : :.
And JIMMY CARTER, as usual,
was there tripping the light fantas-

ending to happy week.

It Doesn't
Make Sense

Spending your money with con-
Germs who do not appreciate your
patronage just doesn't make sense.
There are two ways for a mer-
chant to express to you in unmis-
taxable terms that he WANTS and
APPRECIATES your pennie S,
nickels, dimes and dollars.
One of those sure signs is the
presence of colored employees in the
establishment. The other is the
presence of advertising from the
concern in the Negro community

1t came about at small political
gathering. / don't often go to po-
litical meetings for the very reason
which / met at this one. But this
one was in the home of a friend
and l was under obligation to help.
A young fellow arose to intro
duce the speaker. AS is the usual
custom he began with a story feae
turing the presumed language
of an uncultured Negro. This story
telling is generally embarrassing
to Negro audience, or at best is
devoid of humor< because hoary
with age. In either case it is a
pain and in this case because so
many of US had heard the tale time
without number.
Later in the evening, in the
course of some volunteer endorse
ments of friend among the can
didates present, took occasion to
protect the introduction of a Negro
story in every political talk and
assured the candidates there pres
ent that the surest way to ALLEVIATE
the sympathy of colored audience
was to center interest in carica-
ture of a member of the group
rather than to emphasize the
speakers grasp of the issues of the
campaign. The young man who
had introduced the first speaker
had stepped out of the room and
! could make my comments strong
without hurting his feelings. Then
l had occasion to leave the room.
In the meanwhile the next speak
er was presented. He was a judge
of the Hennepin County District
Court up for reelection and hard
of hearing. Evidently he hadn't
heard a word said although he
was seated near me as talked.
Well, he called the hostess "Aunty."
Told how much he enjoyed the
"darky music"-a colorer group
had sung several spirited jubilee
songs-if he said anything of cam
paign Importance it was not re-
membered. ......... ~
The total result of his speech
was the loss of the votes of the
Is Negro men and women who
heard him!
The incident furnished my friends
with so much amusement at my
expense that they didn't look as
indignant as such happenings just
ly warrant. But they did express
their resentment at the obtuseness
of the offending speaker and de-
clared that under no circumstances
would they give him support.
The fact that a man in his posi-
ton with all his experience did not
know that his remarks would not
be graciously received leads me to
ask again-Won't they ever learn?

After the subject was brought

In real earnest to find the answer.
Happiness, CheerfulneSs and Oc-
cupation seem to go hand in hand.
If a person is cheerfully occupied

help but absorb some Of his own
medicine. In other words -. to
make others happy we must first

force happiness; it must come

the "Old Skipper" promises to
steer the course true. Busy minds

JAMES ROOSEVELT
 SOUGHT FOR OFFICE
Massachusetts Democrats tO Offer Him Nomination
 for Lieut.. Gov.
(NEA Radiophoto)

Washington, March 16-(UP)-- James Roosevelt, eldest son and secretary of the president, will re- ceive a formal invitation Friday from a Boston democratic delega- ton to be candidate for lieuten- ant governor of Massachusetts this fall.
 Roosevelt has been approached in- formally by Charles MaliotoS, of Boston, who already has established Roosevelt headquarters in Boston hotel. In reply to telegram from Maliotos, Roosevelt invited the del- egation to meet him in his White House office at 3 D. m. Friday.
 Close friends of Roosevelt said that he was prepared to give the delegation assurances that he would seriously consider the offer, but his final answer was not expected until after congress adjourns.
 In leaving the door open" for the present, observers believed that Roosevelt might refuse the offer to run for lieutenant governor and at a later date seek the governorShip.
 It was understood that his ad viSers have told him that he would gain valuable political experience by remaining with his father during the rest of his term as president. Then, 1t was believed, he might seek the Massachusetts govcrnorship or perhaps a seat in the senate.
 Some of Roosevelt's supporters be- lieve he should use New York state as his political springboard. But he has remained adamant about Massachusetts. He insisted that his commission as q presidential Secre- tary read James Roosevelt of Massachusetts" To strengthen his ties with New England further he has bought a 300 acre farm at Birmingham, Mass, which his fam fly occupies during the summer and fall
 In 1936 he conducted his fathers campaign in Massachusetts.
