A rather sad picture is drawn by
Minnesota officials as Minneapolis
faces the necessity of caring for
its needy-if and when said needy
are increased as the aftermath of
recent happenings with which all
Minnesota has grown all too ia
miliar. .....
The sadness of it all is not less
ened if one is compelled to listen
to the comments of those whose re-
sponsibility bring them at once into
the picture.
Mayor Geo. E. Leach of Mime
apolis; Governor Harold E. Stas-
sen, Alderman Harry Burgum
Linus C. Glotzbach, State WPA
Administrator, among dozen OF
more of state or city authorities
are among those who occupy the
limelight and are offering more Oh
less feeble arguments as to why
things are as they are.
The sadness of the picture is
not lessened as one is compelled tc
conclude that, in the final analysis
these men must abandon the vari.
Gus excuses they offer and admit
what is clear to everyone else.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1939-07-21

Last week in this column I
named this in the following Ian
guage, Taking advantage of the
countrywide dissatisfaction of
WPA workers, leaders Of the work
ers have ordered widespread re-
sistance even to the point of stop
ping work on many WPA projects.
The governor of Minnesota, the
mayor of Minneapolis, and the
other gentlemen named above un-
derstand very clearly that they are
unable to change the laws of the
United States and that, therefore,
such efforts are foredoomed to fail
ure.
Instead of causing the arrest of
the possible dozen men responsible
for all the trouble they elected to
soft pedal the whole matter, let
these dozen men disrupt the situa-
ton, cause hundreds of innocent
persons to suffer, one man to lose
his life, hundreds of others to
suffer the loss of their jobs.
To the women of our group
caught most unexpectedly in the
very middle of this trouble I would
repeat the advice of last week.
Call upon the members of your
own group best capable of advising
you. Follow that advice to the let
ter. Stay within the law.
You may be sure that your jobs
will not be taken away.
And as a final conclusion you
may be sure that the men who
have led you to the brink of this
trouble will not worry in the least
If you are left to find your way
! out-as you will bs-alone.

They Know Plenty

Without ever exchanging con-
fidences with a Negro or reading a
Negro newspaper, large numbers
of white people would still know
much about colored people. What
we consume cannot be secret in
the thousands of retail merchants
whose stores line the main streets
Of Negro community. Our eco
nomic status can scarcely be a
conundrum to the Mesopotamian
pawnbrokers who loan money on
our finery, to the white bankers
who handle our deposits, to the
realtors who collect our rents and
mortgage payments, to the automo-
bile agencies that hound us each
month for payments on cars which
most Of US can i'll afford, or to our
other numerous white creditors.
Frequently pass barroom late
at night when it is jammed with
dark patrons pitching a boogie

their personal affairs without even
going inside. When ! was younger
and more easily irritated, it used to
distress me to hear Negro workers
on the job with white folk telling
their personal affairs at the top of
their voices, expressing their likes
and dislikes, and commenting fav-
orably or unfavorably on various
ladies of their racial group within
the hearing of anybody three blocks
away. How any white person pos

NEGRO POPULATION CLOSE
TO 14,UVO

Although the 1880 census gave
the total Negro population of Min
nesota as 9,445 observers agree that
that figure was at least $500 low.
Semi-pubic census canvasses made
in 1898 indicate that the Negro
population in the Twin Cities today
is actually about 1880.

Poetic Thoughts
The Church
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

The Church whose membership works for humani
Is builded on foundation whose quantity
Of love is pure and can withstand,
Any adversely which appears at hand. -...
No lesser loyalty to Him on high,
Should be accorded and lauded to the sky
A haven Of refuge at all times of stress,
1t welcomes the sinner and others in distress.
Gods house of worship is sacred to all,
And our allegiance should give Him first call,
Put Him first in our affairs every day,
And He'll guide in the proper way.
Individuals make the Church what it is today,
Their example of loyalty helps all on the way,
To see that God rewards the faithful,
Who never forget to show they are grateful.
Let US pray for all who enter this sanctuary,
That they leave outside all ideas contrary
To brotherly love and humbly enter,
Loves refuge where Good is always tender
Loves refuge where God is always tender.
Be loyal and God will you thru,
In any situation nothing can hinder you,
Numbers mean nothing with God on your side
AS His ways are legion to turn the tide.

The evening wrap which Jane
wore with her old white chiffon was
of bright Madonna blue with a
black fur collar. Jane, as has been
said, loved clear color, and when
she dyed dingy things she brought
them forth lovely to the eye and
tremendously picturesque.
Frederick's house was a place
where polished floors seemed to dis

a grand staircase led up to baIco-
