It is extremely difficult TO fix

social policy OF this law and the
needy and distressed character
of the injured suitors require
that legal services shall be
placed within the reach Of the
claimants. Besides. this law
makes suits before the Commits

Friday, December Is, 1910
By Eunice Brown

An interview with the "South-
ernaires" left me with the feeling
that in their song the Negro race
indeed has a social heritage to be
Justly proud of. They sang to a
very receptive and appreciative au-
dience at the st. Paul Auditorium
Monday evening, and offered q
program of song, though typical of
those given in the days of their en-
tree into the radio and musical
world years ago, it was full of all
the harmony, humor, expression,
beauty and pathos that critics have
accorded "the Southernaires."
J. Stone Toney, baritone, telling
US the origin of the name South
ernaires" said it was coined be-
cause the entire group are sons of
the South with one exception, and
although Lowell Peters, tenor,
comes from the State of Washing
ton, he inherits the southern cul-
ture and traditions from his par
ents who are natives of Tennessee.
And so their nativity and song
were amalgamated and they be-
came "the Southernaires."
Spencer Odom, accompanist and
arranger, has been. with the group
since April. 1t is the first time that
he has been connected with quartet
work, having previously given his
talent to the theatrical world. Ex-
Guiding Mr.. Odom, the personnel
of the group is the same as it was
at its inception.
Lowell Peters believes that the
Negro press is the most effective
weapon of defense the Negro race
has and that the newspapers are a
prime factor in securing the so
much desired unity of the race.
Homer Smith, who is response
BILE for the beautiful tenor we listen
to so attentively, has been singing
all his life and when in school in
Alabama giving concerts, Mrs.
Cora Cuthbert, pianist and a resi-
dent of st. Paul, accompanied him
whenever she could be released
from her regular duties of teaching
school.
I just had to ask William Edmon-
son, the bass, why he was chosen
to take the part of the minister in
the weather Beaten, White
Washed Church Scene" and he
said it wasn't because he was more
religious than the other members
but it was found the harmony of
the group could be retained in the
trio and the bass more easily
spared to do the reading. Mr.. Ed
monson also has the big job of
checking up after concerts.
Each member of the group has
a small rcs+' a',tyf perform
daily; e 7peeial
effort t of his
colleague proud of
the harmony in tbs e up as well
as the harmony in their song.
And although they probably say
this in every town they go to, they
asked the Twin Cities too, not to
wait so long before they invited
them back again.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

AS an illustration OF snap judy

Presidents approval after having
read "only the first paragraph" of
a New York Times editorial, saying:
'The time has come when, in the
interest of seH-protection, the Amer
lean people should at once adopt a
national system Of universal COM
pulsory military training"
Later on the editorial said:
I'VE believe that it should be so
drafted as to provide training not
only for young men but for older
men as we'll"
So do It, but in 1918, we had regis
tered for, or actually in military
service, %, 348, 900 men between the
ages Of 10 and IS. Since then our
population has increased 80 per cent.
Presumably we now have at least
IS, 000, 900 in that class.
Setting out to train 3,00o, 900 men
would be absurd and preposterous.
