ness and the pleasures of life-the
telegraph, telephone, radio, etc.,
and which we receive as a matter
of course-the clock did not spring
into it's present perfection from
the brain of any one inventive
genius. Little by little it grew, one
improvement followed another.
Looking back from the mass pro-
duction of clocks and time pieces
as America has developed it today
to the time when jewellers, black
smiths, astronomers and priests
made them by hand and sold them
singly, one is reminded of the great
difficulties met and overcome by
those who, intrigued by the idea
of its great usefulness, devoted
their lives to its development.
It was not long, however, until
these individual efforts were
merged into a regular industry to
meet public demand. And that in
dustry has grown through Ameri-
can initiative until today every
body, everywhere possesses a watch
or clock and rejoices in the fact
that either may be purchased for
one single dollar.
There is before the Minnesota
legislature at this writing a meas
ure of greatest importance to the
cOlOred people of our state.
You might not think so judging
from the lack of publicity sur
rounding it.
The governor of the state in his
weekly broadcasts has not men
toned it. This is somewhat sur.
prising in as much as the Urban

anyone who hauls ashes shall have
a license. Such license will be is
sued when the applicant has an in
surance policy from one of the
many companies dealing in this
kind of protection.
This license costs somewhere in
the neighbOrhOOd Of $1,000. This is
hard enough, to be sure, but when
in addition such license is issued
only to white men it forces the
Negro people within even narrower
limits and puts another stop sign
upon the Negro men in the hauling
business who do have the money to
pay the tariff and the facilities to
carry on the work.
Of course the law does not read
that only white men may engage in
this avOcatiOn. But il does not
prohibit white insurance companies
from drawing the color line and
they do il with all the assurance
and intolerance so hurtful to the
pride and the business progress of
our group.
If you have a yard full of ashes
after a long winter, and who does
not, you must have them removed
to the dump, provided: A licensed
ash hauler must do the job. Insur-
ance men refuse to sell their pro-
lection to colored men, so willy
nilly you must have a white man
do the work.

Fortunately, it will now be pos
sible for owners of 50-year-old rat
holes to continue to rent them to
the lowest income groups at ranges
in excess of legitimate rentals and,
mind you, without having to bother
with the major repairs that COM
mittees of architects find necessary.
It will be possible to do this be-
cause the county viii have to assist
with the rent money. You same
gentlemen will then be given ex-
cellent cause to whinny and squeal
about the mounting cost of relief
but let it pass, let it pass.
The city will continue to collect
something like one-fifth of the as
sessed valuation of the blighted
areas-and the cost of fire protee-
ton in these areas will, as usual,
be three or four times the actual
tax receipts from any given sub
standard area.
Social agencies will continue to
strive hopelessly with the problems
which come in the wake of poor
housing. Young delinquents will
continue to take their masters de-
grees at st. Cloud, and finish with
Ph.D. at Saltwater. Many of
them will have you to thank for
their higher education.

MINISTER'S AS LEADERS

HA1NAO AIAeO 40 AA1kANL1ANO
Editor:
Ministers of st. Paul and Min
neapois are anxious to be accepted
as leaders by the people of these
two cities.
And that's all right. We need
leadership and the preachers ought
to be the ones the people could look
to. But can they ?
In the spiritual field l believe
they can qualify for I think most
of them are good men.
But there are other things beside
the spiritual in which leaders must
be able to lead.
don't believe these fields have
any appeal to the ministers of our
Twin Cities. At least these good
men are not much interested in
how their congregations meet the
landlord, the grocery and the
butcher man.

Poetic Thoughts
Humble Pie
BY MORRIS GIBBS, ST..

Humble pie is not very easy to eat,
Especially if ones poor sport in defeat,
For to take the bitter with the sweet
Means lot when your competitor turns the heat
A lesson should be learned from unhealthy mistakes
Which false pride, vanity and stubbornness make
Us hard to get along with and blind to
That you hurting yourself, why not get free?
We all know to certain extent
Even though not admitted that there's lent
real these dsagreeable habits hold such sway
Is because they weren't overcome at any early day.
Now it behooveS us for our own good to see
That won't be wanted among good company
For miserable you and your friends made
If you don't change, people will let you go. e,
Increase your sense of humility in order to grow
By discarding false impressions then you'll know
The love that is yours from the sweet sense
Which humility produces in surmounting any offense
Christs example of humility is ever before us,
What would be better than to discuss
This lesson, for it has to be learned
That humble pie is best for all concerned.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-04-14

ment Of Negro citizens, was called
to the attention of the legislators,
il would meet immediate correction.
Not so, however. Scores of in
surance agents have swarmed be-
fore the legislative committee to
defend this unjust measure and to
make the legislature believe it is in
the best interests of the colored
people that the bar remain as orig
iRally written.
It is remindful of the assertion
that white men of the south who
say that they know best what is
good for the colored brother, so
take away his ballot, jim crow his
school funds, segregate him in his
living areas and thus save the day
for white supremacy.
But this thing must not continue
in Minnesota. If the governor has
not realized what this legislation
means to our group he must be told.
If legislators believe they can con-
tinue to shorten the business out
look of the group they deceive
themselves and must be undeeeived.
The Urban League and the for
ward looking citizens who have car
ried the fight to the Legislature
must be supported.
So get out your pencils. Write
to the governor. Write to the legis-
latOrs. Demand justice in this mat
ter as American citizens who know
what they want and who have long
memories as the case of Judge
Parker will attest.

l don't know what turns my
thoughts toward the subject Of
clocks this week. Perhaps it's be-
cause have several old clocks in
the home which do not run, but are
kept because of souvenir value.
Or it may be that whenI go to
town and occasionally forget my
time piece 1 am forced to depend
upon the court house clock and 9TH
er unreliable time pieces which en-
terprising jewellers place as adver-
tisements of their stores, but in
variably forget to wind.
But / believe, now as come to
think of it, the real reason is, that
hear over the radio at most I'M
expected times the announcement
of a certain watch company which
says they have a product ain the
color and charm of natural gold"
a jeweled watch, which sells tor
only so much and so much-a price
SO much cheaper than the old time
clocks as to be all but unbelievable,
And then my crouch passes as
realize how blest we are in this
day of modern conveniences that
an article so useful and so very
common, a reliable time piece
which comes within the possibili.
ties of the most moderate purse
il ours. And I wonder how the
people of a former day got on
without it. For it is only a few
hundred years since clocks were
invented.

tackS some one must know how to
advise us in these matters. l don't
believe the ministers can for they
do not have the experiences which
most of US have.
Like the white folks who take
our money and never ask where we
get it our preachers also take all
the congregations can give and
give no thought to where it comes
from.
1 say let the ministers lead in
the spiritual field which they know.
And let the important material in
