Notes While Travelling

NOteS w Mfe ITUCettHg
The opening of the 1899 world
series, between the Cincinnati Reds
and the New York Yankees, brought
back many memories to at least
two men in Imperial Valley
Up Brawley way, George Cut
shaw, former second baseman for
the Pittsburgh Pirates remembers
when: Manager Bill McKechnie of
the Cincinnati Reds was utility in
fielder with the Pirates, near the
end of his active playing career :.
McKechnie was a remarkable
utility infielder, Cutshaw recalled,
because he was familiar with every
trick in baseball McKechnie
later became manager of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, won a pennant .
Later managed the Saint Louis
Cardinals, won another pennant . d.
From Saint Louis McKechnie
transferred to Boston where he
started the Bees on an upward
swing But Cincinnati moved
into the picture, offered Bill an
attractive contract and landed the
man now described as the outstand-
ing manager in baseball =.
When McKechnie took over Gin
cinnati had just finished in last
place He rebuilt the club and
the Reds moved to fourth place
last year, and might have won the
pennant had injuries not taken a
toll
The rest of the Cincinnati story
is known Wednesday they
tackle the biggest job in baseball.
They will try to defeat the defend
ing world champion New York
Another Memory -.
Cincinnati's winning of the Ma
tional league pennant also revived
memories for Dutch Reuther, pres
emily a member of the Chicago
Cub scouting system Reuther,
accompanied by Hollis Thurston,

A flock of modestly dressed yet

Farmer Browns cherries. They were

band. On each the forehead, chin

ment of Negro citizens, was called
to the attention of the legislators
it 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
inally 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 undeceived.
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
tef~as American citizens who know
what they want and who have long
memories as the case of Judge
Parker will attest.

MINISTER'S AS LEADERS

Editor:
Ministers of St. Paul and Min
neapolis 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.
l 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.
When it comes down to brass

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 it's 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 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 thinks 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
League of the two cities and many
interested citizens of the group
have appeared before the commit
tee that has the measure before it
to ask that simple justice govern
their decision in this case.
A certain law on the statute
books makes it imperative that

Editor: Donald o. Wright, Wal
ter Wolfe and Milton G. Lghtner,
let me be the first to congratulate
you upon your magnificent victory
in blocking the housing bill by the
overwhelming final vote of "a to 80.
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.
1t will be possible to do this be-
cause the county will 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 protec-
ton in these areas will, as usual,
be three or four times the actual
tax receipts from any given SUBJ
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
a Ph.D. at Saltwater. Many of
them will have you to thank for
their higher education.
Gentlemen, salute you.
JUST CALL ME DANIEL.
St. Paul.
