w. J. bud" Meagher who has the
reputation of being the friend of
everybody (if that is possible).
His long record in the council
which the writer has scrutinized
very carefully puts him among
those who we would consider
friendly, fair and just to the peo-
pie of the Negro group. His OPP
ponent, John w. Simcoe, prominent
in the labor movement for many
years, is not very well known
among our voters.
In the fourth ward Romeo ].
Riley, incumbent, won handily in
the primaries but he may expert
ence some trouble in the finals. In
this ward large colored voting
strength is found in the 9th, 7th,
9Th and 9th precincts. Unless a
miracle occurs Riley will not get
much of that vote June IL. Despite
the heavy colored vote in these pre-
cincts, none of the poll officials are
colored citizens. In none of the
city jobs where he is able to look
out after his ward has Riley placed
any of his Negro constituents. In
fact, residents of this area joking
ly say they haven't seen Riley since
the last election four years ago.
Out in the fifth ward Frank D.
Bessesen will battle it out with
Jens Christianson, perennial candi-
date for the aldermanic post. 1t
may be a very close contest. At
prese Bessesen is favored
among our voters largely because
he has active workers in his behalf
among the colored people in the
ward as he has among various
other groups.

Editor: AS you know from your

the first week it appeared, paid my
two dollars down in advance before
l knew whether you would be able
to keep the paper afloat for a
month. All the years have re-
sided in st. Paul am proud to say
l have paid out my money to
worthy enterprises and have con-
tinually supported Negroes who
ventured into business. There have
been many failures and some few
successes but l have never re-
GREETED doing my part for even
those who failed.
For years the APPEAL was a
weekly visitor to my home. 1 sub

Chestnut's Northwestern Bulletin

Howell, one of our most public
spirited citizens. He was then pub
lie spirited and he is still. was
a subscriber for the Minnesota
Messenger and the Minnesota Star,
The st. Paul Echo and a few others
l fail to recall. All through the
years l have never been a "chisel-
er" when it comes to my own news
papers. For years l have seen
countless neighbors come in and
out of my house to read my Negro
newspapers. Three months ago
when l read the note in the paper
about, "those who read but do not
pay-and complain" l told my wife
to put our copy of my paper away
so that the neighbors and their
children would not read it.
Maybe that is being selfish but
l wonder whether it is or not? l
know five families whose members
have read the paper l pay you 81
per year for. When l jokingly
asked one of the "free riders" as
you aptly describe them why he
didn't take the paper by the year,
or buy it, he said, there wasn't
enough news in it for his So! Yet
this chap with a good job sends
over, or did until l stopped the
practice, for the paper every Sun
day morning! He perhaps has not
realized that he and his four
friends are cheating me, the paper,
themselves and the community
when they fail to support the We
hicle which they willingly use but
to which they never contribute a
nickel. The $40 a year which
these neighbors of mine should be
spending with the paper would per-
haps help you give US a better
paper and help make a better COM
munity. Looking through the So

Poetic Thoughts
Youth
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

1OuLu
Youth knows gender in classification
For the One Father has no designation,
In the vineyard His children have work to do,
The harvest is great and workers are few.
They who early remember in life,
That God is their strength fortress in strife
Can weather any storm, wherever they
And fear is stied for God is never far.
What is the challenge to Youth today?
Is it to think of work play?
The answer remains for us to prove,
Just what thoughts we ought to reprove.
Your decision early in life means,
That you give God all who never dreams,
For His time is eternal-you1l never regret
This righteous action your solution is met.
Let the unseen power be your guide,
In everything you'd love to decide,
When in quandry which to make,
Ask Divine guidance and there1l be no mistake.
1t means sacrifice but demonstrate you pioneer,
For all martyrs have thons to bear,
Work now and secure a crown to wear
Youth of America accept today's challenge,
Dispel all fogy ideas that there's a melange,
OF discouraging evils to occupy your time
Accept God early and results will be thine.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
WHEN SARAH ANNE finally
went to sleep that night on which
Bob Kennedy had passed her in the
corridor with such a curt goodby,
she didn't dream. She knew. SUBJ
consciously. = that she was tired,
that she wanted to stay in the bed,
between the cool linen sheets, for
q long time. She knew, too, after
while, that someone was trying
to waken her, to take her away
from the island Of peace where
nothing was important.
Sarah Anne darling" she heard
Judith saying. Sarah Anne, won't
you wake up? Sarah Anne, dear"
She opened her eyes then. A new
Judith stood at the foot of her bed.
A Judith whose hair was shining
as an aureole and whose eyes were
deep and dark and amber There
was a quiet radiance about her
face. Now she sat down on her own
twin bed, across from Sarah Anne,
and spoke quickly.
"We're going to be married, Jack
and I. Now-tonight."
"Now? Oh, Judy, then every
things all right 2" Everything's all
right. It was comforting to know
that for someone the tangled
threads were straight again.
Everything is glorious. Get
dressed, honey. You and Bob are
going to be our witnesses or at
tendants or whatever it is"
"But Bob left, hours ago. He said
goodby." She could see that tall
figure swinging down the narrow
hall, hear that brief laconic fare
well: Happy landings"
!, "He intended to, but he couldn't
because Jack wasn't at the hanger.
We were getting a license and look
ing up a minister. Now everything's
ready. Do you want this pink dress,
Sarah Anne? Pink is for brides
maids, isn't it ?" She was removing
a dress from a hanger, stockings
and a slip from Sarah Anne's trav-
cling case.
Outside it was raining. A slow,
steady downfall that would last
through the next day and on to the
next. Sarah Anne shivered a little
under the cool sheets. The moon
had been yellow and warm when
she had gone to sleep. And sudden
ly her excitement again left her.
Why pretend to be joyful for a few
hours? Why look at Bob. speak to
him, laugh with him, and come
back to remember and remember
words that were useless?
But she must go. Judy and Jack
were going to be married.
The ride down the road to a lit
tie white church in a flower yard
was quiet. Rain beat on the top of
the rented car. No one was on the
road. Nothing was said about the
manner in which Jack and Judy
had made up. Nothing was needed.
Two people who loved each other
very much had found out in time.
that was all.
Sarah Anne, shivering in her new
gray polo coat which she wore
over the frivolous pink dress, real
lied that whatever Of selfishness
there might be in Jacks nature.

Watching the tail light disappear,
Sarah Anne reflected that those
two, made for heights, were find
ing them now in a bumpy car on
rough road, and never knowing
the springs were bad, and the road
punctured with holes.
She said goodby to Bob, who
smiled at her, and held her hand a
moment longer than was necessary.
Or maybe she imagined it, she told
herself. The little hotel was in
shadows, save for the one light
over the desk. The clerk vas asleep
in his inner Office. Bob was leaving
early in the morning. This WAS
goodby.
But, in her room, she was not.
sleepy. Judy's bed, unslept in,
look lonely. Her own no longer was
intriguing. She sat by the window
but the rain came in, so she tip
toed down to the lobby. There was
an alcove where she could watch
the street lamps shine across the
trees and maybe an occasional flash
of light where a car went onward
in the night. She wanted human
sympathy.
She arose and went to stand in
the shadow. How long she had
been there, leaning against the
window frame, when she became
aware of long shadow on the
other side Of the wall, she did not
know. Maybe someone else couldn't
sleep. She turned her head Curl
ously. A dim light was reflected
from the green light on the night
clerks desk and left the features
of the man family outlined.
"Bob?" she asked curiously.
you're restless, too?"
The rain came harder. It beat
against the windows. The light
f1ickered on the desk, in the far
distance, struggled, and died away.
A ragged string Of lightning cut
the sky, then the world was black.
But Sarah Anne was not afraid.
When Bob came toward her, when
he put his arms around her gently
and kissed her, she was not sur
prised. It was the natural, the only
thing to do, at that moment. In
this dream world where she moved
life had changed its pattern. Maybe
tomorrow the sun would shine, the
streets would forget the black,
shining night, and reality would be
sharp and clear. Not tonight
I'm sorry" Bob said then, but he
did not leave her abruptly. He drew
her by the hand toward big chair,
and then pulled up another for
himself. Sarah Anne, why don't
you like me?"
