and domestic workers under social

tons were: opposition to any en-
tangling foreign alliances, urging
Negroes to display full voting
strength at all times, particularly
in the South, adoption of nom
partisan policy in politics, and en-
dorsement of the anti-lynching bill.
The conference also voted to
urge President Roosevelt to ap-

The delegates approved a deter

that direct action had been deter

Mr.. N. ]. Hunter.
AS a further means of showing
it's interest some of the League
officials with members of it's auSi-
haries decided to visit the plant.
Arrangements were made with
the officials through Mr.. Hunter
and on Monday of this week sew
eral automobiles filled with League
and Auxiliary members were re-
ceived at the plant.
What they saw almost beggars
description. Several buildings have
been completed and are now in
operation. And these are as clean
and attractive as the plant of the
bakery visited a few weeks ago.
The course of the river has been
changed so that it now flows into
the plant, leaves all of it's impuri-
ties and is sent on it's way. This
is a simple statement of what has
been accomplished.
What the auxiliary saw was a
world of instruments governing
the flow Of the river, muddy and
filed with impurities, through the
acres of the plant, where instru-
ments too technical to describe re-
moved all impurities and return
ed it to its reservoirs pure and I'M
defiled.
What has been done has cost
something like $16,00O,O0O and is
worth every cent Of it. 1t has
called for the best brains of the
engineering force who direct its
activities, some fifty persons, as
sisted by some rs other people who
do the lesser but not less important
work.

Here
and
There

Minneapolis citizens who have
expressed interest in the work of
the Urban League have been
greatly pleased at the formation Of
its women's auxiliary.
Although much less than a year
old this auxiliary has done much
to win the confidence of the pub
lie by the sincerity of the efforts
made to prove itself a real helper
of the League. The auxiliary has
worked slowly but most carefully
to make its work count most effec-
lively in forwarding the important
effort the League attempts in be-
half of it's people.
A short time ago 1 wrote of a
visit the auxiliary made to a local
bakery which sells it's goods to the
colored people of this city but
gives none of them employment.
They found no reason for the
apparent discrimination against its
people save the fact their people
had made no attempt to overcome
it.
The League with the help of its
auxiliary is expected to take i'm
mediate action to overcome the
difficulties disclosed.
Some time ago the League be-
came deeply interested in a sit
uation that has caused great I'M
easiness throughout the state. The
Twin Cities have Joined with the
Legislature of Minnesota in find
ing a solution of this matter that
promised to grow more serious the
longer the condition existed.
refer to the former pollution of
it's Mississippi river from which
many unfavorable results have
grown.
After some years of study by
the various bodies designated by
the legislature, certain of them
were authorized to attempt a cure.
Everyone now knows something
at least of what has been done.
The Twin City Sanitary District
was founded, resulting in the
sewage disposal plant at Pigs Eye
Island.

WRITER SAYS REPUBLICANS
BID SOUTHERN LYNCHERS
TO UNITED FRONT

Editor: In order to find the pur-
est specimens of Republican dou-
BILE bookkeeping, one merely has to
look at COP pretensions on the
question of Negro rights. Every
where, of course, the Hoover
Dewey Party is pretending great
friendship and interest in achiev-
ing the full citizenship of the Ne
gro. They have hired a flock of
investigators, including a noted
scholar, hoping that a report will
be brought back indicting the Ne
gro's allies, namely, labor and the
New Deal. But all of this is only
one side of the Republican wooden
nickel.
The other side is revealed more
recently in one of the most amaz-
ing and damaging admissions ever
made by the COP high command
or by one of it's hired penmen-
Wants "SOlid" South
The arch-reactionary and Negro
hater, Mark Sullivan, whose duty
it is to sell Republican gold-bricks,
urges the so-called solid" South to
vote Republican in 1910. And why ?
Writing for his New York Her.
ald-Tribuns masters, on June 18, he
says:
eff it could happen In 1928
(when the COP carried several
Southern states-Ed.) why not in
1910. The reason in 1910 will be
different from the reason in 1928
but the reason in 1910 will be
strong.
For the South, in addition to
economic objections to the New
Deal, HAS COME FULLY
AWARE THAT THE NEW DEAL
FAVORS NEGRO SUFFRAGE
not only favors but INSISTS on
it."
In other words, horrors! the New
Deal believes in the enforcement of
the 18th Amendment to the Con-
stitution. That is, of course,
crime to the Tory Republicans and
to Mark Sullivan who has spent
most of his life finding arguments
to Justify" disfranchisement of
the Negro.
Sullivan continues that the New
Deal goes far" on Negro suffrage
meaning, of course, that it goes
too far for him. And to him here
is the pay-off:
"a New Deal suggestion for re-
settling landless Southern farm
ers, white and colored, on land to
be bought by the government, in
cludes a requirement that out of
the first proceeds received by the
assisted farmer from the sale of
this crop, he must pay his poll tax,
so that he can vote. If the New
Deal dominates the Democratic
Party then the Democratic Party
will be for unrestricted Negro suf-
frage in the South. Davis,

Poetic Thoughts
The Lawyer
By MORRIS GIBBS, ST..

The lawyer learned man is he,
Studies how he should best free,
Us from bondage for in every case,
His counsel is needed in legal race.
He Strengthens out all legal affairs,
Advice for domestic and financial cares,
Shows us how it can best be done,
So the case can be more easily Won
We must have faith in our lawyers knowledge
He's spent his time learning in college,
Now in practice he's ready to prove,
The way case should properly move.
Contide in him, hold nothing back
Which helps him get you on the right track,
For full details is essential about any case,
Help him succeed when the Judge you face
He wants money-sure he needs it too,
We knew before, but what can you do
When in fix, you first think Of him
When out don't forget, for times are slim.
Christ was the best interpreter of Gods law,
He said follow it and thereIl be no flaw,
In your span of life if you're consistent,
Keep close to Him and not be worldly distant
Christ is our lawyer before judgments bar,
Pleads our cause and taught US not to mar,
Our life in uselessness or else We'll pay,
Judgments toll which is exacted every day.

OF the Seas
RvLILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Highly magnified so that you may
get some idea of the tiny creatures
of the sea, you can well imagine
what fearsome foes they must ap.
pear to those neighbors of theirs
with eyes to behold them.
Take a pint or less OF water from
any ocean, for even one drop placed
under the microscope will enable
you to "see things" The water will
look clear and harmless enough, but:
Oh, my! Under the lens these crea-
lures are about as dangerous looking
as great wild animals. If you ever
get into the joyful practice of plac-
ing seemingly invisible things under
a lens and having revelations proven
of the teeming life that goes on in
water that appears as placid as a
May morning. you know that there
is a wonderful world still to be
explored simply by looking through
"the looking glass"
What amazes you from the first,
and always, is the intricate decora-
ton worn by even the most minute
creatures. The feathery streamers.
the stiff hairs and the spurs and
even what seem like life belts. or
floats, enable their owners to move
about swiftly or remain buoyant in
the water. These floating creatures
that have such minute organisms
are known as plankton. This is a
broad term, but may be applied
truthfully to these small surface
riders. The class crustacea in which
they also belong include creatures
too tiny for the unaided eye to see
and also forms that are feet and
even more long. The giant crab IF

It's arms, is a many-t imes-removed

number consumed by their neigh
bors still leave myriads of them to
do their important work in the
world.
Besides being of intricate form
and having trimmings of spines,
floating streamers and so on, they
are of colors beyond description.
Those you find living in cold waters
do not possess the colors of those
thriving in warmer water.
Just try and imagine what 1t
would be like to go swimming In
the sea and behold countless num-
bers of strengthening creatures
all about you. High-school pupils
who have examined water under

their name from the nature Of their

The mission Of crustacea Is to
thrive on the decaying organic mat
