The Battle of The HarOldS-

The battle of the Harolds sounds like an epic
of Scandinavian saga, but it isn't It's a present
day political battle within the ranks of the Minnesota
Republican party The story of this battle appeared
in Sundays Star Journal
This political battle had its beginning back in
the early days of Governor Harold Stassens state
political career, and brought about by three
major incidents. The leading roles in this battle
are Minnesota's two Harolds, the Governor and the
Congressman.
AS stated before three major incidents brought
about the situation which may have considerable
bearing in the next primary election They are
O Shelving of older Republicans; (2) Stampede
for Wike in the Republican national convention
(3) Foreign policy of the President There may be
other minor incidents but the three mentioned are
those that appear the surface.
Political battles not unusual to the public
in our state, have had several very good
ones in recent years. But this will be unusual
as both good battlers, well being shrewd
politically. ...i 4
This fight of course will center in the primary
election the Republican ticket with opposition
for both the Governor and Senator Ball. his ap-
pontee According to rumor, United States Senator
Andersen will be asked to oppose Senator Ball, and
Hjalmer Petersen will oppose the Governor on the
Republican primary ballot. Regardless of whether
that situation develops not, there is battle in
the offing and it will provide opportunity for the
Governor to again test strength, we'll as that

Cooperation Necessary

Preparations are being made for putting up the
beautiful Christmas decorations recently ordered by
the Community Club. Plans provide to have these
in place before Thanksgiving Day, November Goth
Officials of the club hope to have the decorations
here at that time, but delivery may be delayed.
This year the decorations will be the finest ever
purchased by the club and offer apologies
when we make that statement. However, the need
for cooperation is very necessary so that the fullest
benefit may be acquired through proper placing OF
the decorative material 1t is dscouraging when
that cooperation is not forthcoming
Dues to the Community Club have not been
fully paid, and unless those who have not taken
of that duty do soon the club will not have the
funds to pay for the decorations. Another dis
couraging note is the refusal to help by those who
should have the welfare of the community at heart
as well as the beauty of the city at Christmas time
or any other time.
Cooperation is essentially necessary and the
maintenance of business mems organization is as
vital business itself. The club has purchased
excellent decorative material at reasonable price
and if they properly put up this city will have
it's Third and Main Streets decorated fine as
any city in the state. We didn't want to write this
bit of kick but it is only for those who don't
want to boost their home town, it doesn't mean you.

A1mistice Day, 1911

Armistice Day, just passed. brought with it
recollections of another period of Distress and
near war. The situation today is not unlike that
of the times preceding April 1917, and danger is
imminent. People of America do not want war,
but they do not wish to lose their freedom-and
will not-no matter what or who threatens.
This period is a severe trial, and Armstice Day
thoughts bring with them the hope that it will all
be over over there before become actively en-

 Sharp Edges Important
 The secret of having a perfect blonde streak, for instance, is to give it clean sharp edges, she said

HOUSE UPS
 LIQUOR TAX 200 PERCENT
First Good Fight of Session Comes on Bill Boosf-
 ing Levy

A spirited debate over liquor taxes. which resulted in the Legis- lature's first tie vote of the ses- sion, took place in the House of Representative this afternoon when the Harvey Smith-Stangroom bill to raise the excise tax on hard liquor was passed in its original form.
 The bill provides that the tax on liquor of more than 19 percent alcoholic content shall be increased from 50 cents to $50 per gallon an increase which proponents of the bill claim will bring an extra half million dollars into the Ter ritorial treasury in the next bien- nium.
 An amendment to make the tax $105 brought almost every member of the House to his (and he) feet to sound off on the measure, but the amendment was finally defeat ed, when the vote upon it turned out to be eight-to- o-eight.

PRESENT WARPED PICTURES

1t has been no secret that for years there
has been studied effort to keep Negroes in South
America from knowing too much about Negroes
in the United States Textbooks supplied by the
United States to schools in South America tend
to burlesque black Americans. Negroes in the
states pictured half-civilized specimens Of
humanity that to be religlously avoided.
And in like manner warped picture is Civ
en- the Negro American of his brother south of the
equator Spanish is virtually the universal lang
uage of the Latin republics But just stop and
think how many of schools offer Spanish. Not
many. Instead French is the foreign language
most widely used in high school and college
currculums. One wonders how many of US have
been aware that there is design to this; and that
design is to keep the black peoples of North and
South America as widely apart as possible.
How state department keeps up this de-
termination not to permit dark-hued visitors from
South America to get near their blood brothers
here was told last week by Negro worker in that
unit of our government.
Speaking of the influx of dusky visitors
from South of the Border" this worker says
''They come in, darker than usual bubous noses,
want to visit certain sights in this country l know
they are regarded Negroes, and they have
every indication of being colored folk, but not in
the state department.
NEGROES ARE AVOIDED
Brother, they are herded off so fast it isn't
funny. The officials bow and scrape to them,
and take them on certain carefully arranged
itineraries, where they sure not to come in
contact or conflict with any coored folk Pm
of Negro mixed blood and Negro extraction, not
one of them knows there is such thing as How
ard Universty-unles they accidentally slipped up
it. The state folk see that they meet none of
those Negroes, nor any others of consequence"
The writer believes this is extremely
short-sighted policy. Closer collaboration be-
tween the black peoples of the two hemispheres
is necessary closer ties between the white
peoples, if real unity is to be achieved.
DR.. L. D. Reddick of the New York Public
library, low on tour of Haiti, discloses that there
is great hunger in that black republic for news,
books and literature abou Negro Americans Not
a single Negro newspaper reaches that country.
No doubt there is similar desire on the part of
black peoples inhabiting other Central and South
American republics
DR.. Reddick made brilliant suggestion, that
would go long way toward defeating our state
departments puzzling policy anent Negroes. He
writes: "It would be worthy public service if
the leading Negro newspapers of the United
States would send copies of each issue to the lead
ing newspapers, libraries and schools of Haiti"
This could be extended to include those of
every nation South Of the Border"

Actually it was the prejudiced attitude of

AMERICANS DISPLAY
PREJUDICE
Many Americans harboring prejIdiced feel
ngs toward all of color visiting in Rio de
Janeiro and other South American capitals make
no effort whatsoever to conceal their disapprov-
al of Negroes holding high positions in govern
ment. They sought to inaugurate their pet
ideas as to how Negroes should be treated The
result was naturally disastrous to a program of
friendship.
It's just not human to develop fondness for
bully who comes into your house, tries to tell
you how you should run it, and plainly displays
contempetuous scon for those of your children,
who chance to be of darker hue than the others.
Most puzzling to those watching Americas
move to cement friendship between nations in
this hemisphere is the state departments attitude
toward collaboration between Negroes of the va
rous countries and the United States. From past
actions this is something those who design our
foreign policy are decidedly against.

bean islands and a big majority of the Central
and South American republics. In some of these
countries they even outnumber persons Of Cau-
casan extraction. They black people and they
