MIR. Rerat Explains!
June 29th, 1899.

JUNE S0Jl1 1907
Editor: l noticed in last weeks
issue of your paper that you had a
small item where I made refer
ence to a colored man as "nigger"
before a jury address in Hennepin
District Court recently.
In the years that l have prac-
ticed law in Minneapolis l have
represented a large number of col
ored people and during this time I
have become acquainted with nu-
merous outstanding colored citi-
zens in this county. l believe I
have enjoyed the respect of your
race. have always admired and
held in high esteem colored people.
My many hundreds of colored ac-
quaintances in this city will vOuch
for the fact that l have never in
any way done or said anything to
injure colored people.
The reference / made last week
was in a case where a chiropractor
was on trial for practicing medicine
without a license. The question of
color had absolutely nothing to do
with the case in any way. 1t was
my intention at the time to refer
to a colored man for illustration
purposes. The word "nigger" was
used by me in the heat of a closing
argument before a jury. It was
said without my even realizing that
l had used the word because / had
intended to use the word "colored."
After finishing this address to the
jury, when my attention was called
to the fact that 1 had used this
word l realized that 1 had mis-
spoken myself and l Immediately
apologized to everyone in the court
room.
feel deeply concerned about
this matter and want to take this
opportunity of apologizing to the
colored people as a whole for this
error.
1 sincerely hope that my apology
will be accepted in the spirit it is
made.
Very truly yours,

WHAT'S A KEPT PREss"7

WHAT'S A KEPT PRESS?
Now and then somebody accuses
an editor of having a "kept press"
According to the following Dor
rowed by the Fairfax Standard
from the Northwood (Ia.) Anchor,
every press is kept, and this is how.
at is kept by hard and tiresome
labor, by tramping the streets al
most daily, and travelling the coun-
try districts constantly. 1t is kept
by men lying awake nights occa-
sionally to plan the next days
work. 1t is kept by giving steady
work to employees, occasional work
to others and piece-work to a num-
Der of contributors throughout the
country. 1t is kept by providing
service to patrons who need it. II
is kept by finding ways to have the
payroll on deposit for the Satur-
day Checks" and, finally, it is kept
by constant watchful care over the
affairs and interests of the whole
community.

two groups for the selection of
such fine representatives in the
person of Mrs. P. Combs, Miss D.
Massie, Mrs. H. Simmons, Miss G.
Middlecoff and Mr.. ]. Collins. Con-
gratulations are also in order for
the old reliable M. Simmons and

offices. Mrs. Combs is chairman of
the Cradle Roll department and
Miss Middlecoff was elected to the
executive board of the B. Y. P. U.

Poetic Thoughts
Dressing Father Up
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

Father dressing for occasions, has awful time,
Can't figure clothes out by reason rhyme
Be dressed just when the family goes,
Or else be told to wear some other clothes.
He'd rather sit and enjoy his home
Than think of dressing up to roam,
For visiting is all right to him,
If he can go in what he's in.
He leaves the worries of what to wear,
Upon the family, but they really
When Father goes along they look to see,
If his tie is correct like fashions decree.
It's constant lookout before they leave,
Examine his shoes else some member will grieve,
Trousers pressed and hat just right,
Or else Father looks to them a sight.
Father takes it all in good nature,
Told by the youngest-small in stature,
They love to see him like the rest
Dressed in style and ready for fashions test.
So he at last resolves to do
The thing he abhors, but to get through,
He'll suffer the agony stiff shirt produces,
martyr in silence there's excuses"

Here
and
There

Many of the Minneapolis and st.
Paul women Of our group are re-
ceiving an introduction into the seri-
Gus business of earning a living
under the conditions which govern
WPA. n
With more than 60 out of every
100 of our women finding it neces-
sary to help the family exchequer
by accepting employment from this
agency, they are learning day by
day, some of the sterner facts OF
life.
1t was hard enough in the first
place for many of the women to
grow accustomed to earning a liv-
ing. Earning a living on WPA is, Of
course, more acceptable than TAX
ing plain charity. Everyone of our
women who have found it neces-
sary to work have realized this.
But most of them by now have
learned the lesson. They have
learned to make time on the job.
They have learned how to keep
quiet at their work. They have
learned how to work under the con-
slant oversight of a supervisor,
even a Negro supervisor.
And now when that first hard
lesson has been pretty well ac-
quired, comes the peculiar expert
ence of learning that they are part
of the great working force of our
cities. That whether they will or
no, they must be governed in their
actions by what shall be to the best
interest of all the working people.
What our working women must
learn and learn beyond question is
that the working forces of this
city, are governed by the men at
the head of labor, in or out of the
unions. That what these men de-
eide governs the working people
in or out of unions.
When congress recently decided
to increase the hours of workers
and reduce the pay heretofore
given WPA, there was a great out
cry and protest from those affected.
Taking advantage of the country
wide dissatisfaction of WPA work
ers, leaders of the workers have
ordered widespread resistance even
to the point of stopping work on
many WPA projects.
It is difficult at this time to de-
eide if labor leaders have bitten off
more than they can chew. One
thing is certain: Win or lose, labor
leaders will use all of their power
and influence to win this battle.
My own opinion is, it will end in
a compromise that will save the
face of the leaders, and will bene-
fit the workers little or nothing. /
would say to our own women who
are on the spot and who in the last
analysis, will have to shift for
themselves, take the advice of your
own leaders, our ministers among
others, and of organizations espe-
cially working in the interest of
the Negro group.
If this thing continues to show
down, as l think it may, our own
workers, few of whom are union
lied, will find it necessary and ad-
visable to take advice from their
own leaders.
Our own churchmen should be
among those who can and should
give proper direction and counsel.
/ believe our women can count abb
