Billy B. HOke
Raps Attitude Of
TheatregOers
By Billy B. HOke
=, Ms~nao-ol;e CLonn;ro. No,,1

RECENTLY WHILE watching
and listening to James Cagney and
Ann Sothern put over an appeal
for financial help for the United
Nations at the Hennepin- Orpheum,
we saw something that didn't go
so well with what Mr.. Cagney and
Miss Sothern were driving home.
We sat in the last row of the mid
die section on the main floor. In
the row just ahead of us, in the
middle, sat lone Negro, and right
beside him, on either side, was an
EMPTY seat. This, in itself wasn't
anything, if it hadn't been for the
fact that we saw, not one but sew
eral, white persons start to edge
their way into the unoccupied seat
and then upon discovering there
was a colored man sitting there,
they did right-about face and
headed for the rear. The house was
packed and as far as we could see,
those two seats were the ONLY
vacant ones on the main floor. The
colored man was exceedingly clean
and neat and we can't for the life
of US see why any real American
should hesitate about seeing the
show while seated next to a chap
such as he was. The United Ma
lions idea is a great one and we
should all go about for it, but
while we're at it, let's pay little
more attention to our American
Negro; at least let's treat him as
well as we treat the japanese and
Chinese and the Filipinos who are
making their homes in and about
Minneapolis. :.

cold pulls US one way and the
prospect of a good sermon pulls
us the other. In the end the ser

we are all out on Sunday morning,

Last Sunday was no exception
with the large responsive crowd
which came to participate in the
new series of sermons which Rev.
S. E. Ware, pastor, has named the

returning to the precedent set by
the Pilgrim fathers of colonial
days, walking to church and bring
ing our Bibles. The exposition on
the 41st chapter of Isaiah received
very favorable comment. Next
Sunday, Rev. Ware will continue
with the 42nd chapter of Isaiah.

The Rally of the Prophets moves

his pledge Sunday morning, giving
the trustees a slight edge over the

that he would like to be able to

kansas, "deep in the heart of the
South" but race prejudice in the
Arkansas capital city is not nearly
as vicious as it is in the nations
capital. In Little Rock and other
southern communities one expects
to find prejudice, but you would not
expect to find it so rampant in the
capital city of the arsenal of De-
mocracy."
Here is a typical example of the
viper, race prejudice, in Washing

Washington Bureau, a young man
rushed in. He was very excited
and he demanded to see Mr.. White.
He just about went off his head
when the young lady in the office
told him that he couldn't see Mr..
White. He told his story to the
young lady and we couldn't blame
him for feeling as he did.
This in brief was his story: He
was Simeon Baken, an American
Indian, who looked very much like
a Negro. He had been employed
in the Government Printing Office.
At first he could eat in the segre-
gated lunch room, with Negroes.
He protested that he was an Ameri-
can Indian. So he was permitted
to eat with the white. employees
When he persisted in associating
and eating with Negroes he was
told that he must stay on the
white side" He protested and
protested, but to no avail.
He said that he had been so hui
inflated in the matter that he had
given in his resignation that morn
ing. Negroes cannot eat in the
dining room of the House of Repre-
sentatives and many other public
places in Washington.
Segregation has been the prac-
tice in many Governmental offices
for many years. Washington is in
control of the South. Southern
police officers made great sport of
brutally treating Negroes in Wash
ington, until the NAACP and other
organizations protested effectively
against police brutality.

Goodbye

Dear Editor: I would not feel
that my goodbyes in Minneapolis
were complete unless I were to say
goodbye to the most important
community organ, The Minneapo-

Recorder.
I also want to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you, Mr.. Newman,
and Mrs. Newman and Eunice
Brown, for the cooperation always
extended me and the organizations
to which I belong. I have always
found the entire staff willing and
ready to help and I am deeply ap-
preciative.
May I wish for you all the con-
tinued strength to carry on the
fight for democracy and even great
er success in your field of endeavor.
Yours very sincerely,

America, I must believe,
Is strong, old-line insurance,
To all within, of that great charity
She so generously extends abroad;
know the ironclad policy hold
Is eternal as our lands endurance,
Uncancelable, proof against times whims,
The rising tides Of human fraud;
1t is document Of freedom,
Written encaustic on the scroll
Of national honor; it is justice
Without a single teardrop's dilution;
The premium is my solemn pledge
Of hand, head, heart and soul;
My policy needs no time-locked vault,
Yes, it is my Country's Constitution.
It is straight-life and endowment,
Payable in Democracy, now and always;
My name is-Loyal Citizen,
Beneficiary to privileges and immunities,
And the rights Of all free men,
AS full in great things as in small ways;
Ny agent is the Nations conscience,
Paying off in equal opportunities.
What greater compensation
Than that may lift my humble voice
To sing the hymns of my desire
Or pray whatever prayers I choose.
prize free speech and free press,
And from the housetops rejoice
That my grievances can find redress,
Without the destiny must lose
love the laws due processes,
The single jeopardy for life and limb,
Speedy, public trial by jury,
With counsel for defense;
These glories light the torch Of liberty
That tyrants seek to dim,
Fulfilled, these fine indemnities
Can make our lives immense.
Behind my policy there stands
The might and honor of the U. s. A.,
Pledged to satisfy my just demands,
And yet it's hard to hide dismay,
Withhold my heart from moods disconsolate,
view INTERESTINGLY each recourse
When many of our forty-eight
Claim the policy is not in force.
I know the Constitution cannot lapse,
But times and men are changed by power,
Promise today is oft tomorrow's perhaps,
And so cash my freedoms every hour.
