Minnesota Women
Make Good in
New York City
A COUPLE OF MEN DO,
ALSO.
By Cecil E. Newman

One thing which made US pardon
ably proud to be from Minnesota
on our recent trip to N. Y. was to
see how well former residents of
the Gopher state are faring out
East. Most of them are making fine
contributions to society.
Marvel Cooke of Minneapolis is
acting manager editor of the fam
ing, militant, mass conscious N.
Y. PEOPLES VOICE. A good
newspaper woman an import
ant cog in the N. Y. chapter of the
American Newspaper Guild and
married to Cecil Cooke, a former
eastern college track great. She's
expected back home for a visit this
summer. MarvePs sister Helen is a
member of the national Y. W. G A.
board. We understand she is to be
married or is already married to
lucky Mlchlgan doctor whose
name we didn't get.
On the same paper with Mrs.
Cooke is Nell (DodsOn) Russell
whom all old readers of this paper
remember as the youthful con-
ductor of the column "Personali-
ties" in this paper and the old
Twin City Herald. Nell is still the
same young woman except that she
is married and has a army sergeant
husband overseas. To US, she had
not changed noticeably. Same fire
though more mature, same distinc-
tive pleasing writing style and
same passion for fighting, crusad-
ing journalism. She has worked on

Courier, N. Y. Amsterdam News,

Intelligent editors are not going
to be guilty of killing the goose
which lays the golden egg. They
know that they are dependent for
their support during the three
years of each quadrennium when
there are no presidential elections
on readers who each week buy
Negro papers. They know, also,
that these readers have a right to
demand that support or opposition
to any party or candidate is based
upon how much money that politi-
cal party or candidate has spent
with that paper.-Walter White.
Stop complaining war isn't
won yet and if we want to be sure
our rights remain our rights, we
have to keep on to the bitter end.

evidence that they seek YOUR

We request that our readers

gressmen and others the facts of
life according to Hitler. ThesC
evangels are now guests of the
government, but the evil that they
did lives after them. 1t lives and
thrives in Rankin's private thoughts
and social conversation, and it
spouts from his mouth in a lurid
stream on the floor of Congress.
Usually, he gets away with it, for
many Congressman are supine,
some are occupied elsewhere, and
all cherish the rare delights of con-
gressional immunity. But now and
then someone talks back, as did
Rep. Celler at the end of a foam
ing TRADE by Rankin in which he
had sneered at Celler as "this Jew
ish gentleman from New York"
Replied Celler:
He singles me out in a wav
that shows his distorted point
of view, his intolerance, his
malice. His cruel and men
acing observations are all the
more tragic in the light of
what is happening to the Jews
in Axis-controlled countries.
-. Two million have already
persisted, four million await
death or a slavery worst than
death. Never have I heard
a word of pity or lament or
protest from the gentleman
from Mississippi.
For the first time within the
memory of the oldest member,
Jonn Rankin found himself with
0ut an answer.
Although he fought repeal of the
Neutrality Act, and is half-con-
WINGED, through some diseased
logical process, that the Jews some
how got that Jap carrier force to
attack Pearl Harbor, Rankin has
been vociferously in support Of
war measures ever since. Rankin
doesn't believe that Nazism and
Fascism have much to offer to
America. No, he is a stickler fol

cratic way, approximately, of the

tives, a little gray-haired Con-
gresham leaps from his seat on

with precise ostentation, to a chair
hard by the House microphone.
There he purses his features into
an attitude of furious attention,
while other members and occupants
of the press gallery frown, or
grimace or grin, as their individual
feelings dictate. To few admirers,
John E. Rankin of Mississippi has
risen again to defend America
against the Jews. But most observ-
ers see only a bitter old man play
ing out his string of clownlsh big
otry in the face of the elected rep
resentatives of the people of the
United States.
Rankin is the prize anomaly of
Congress, a ranting demagogue who
nevertheless gets in his share Of
meritorious legislative ticks:
wild-eyed Jew-baiter whose scream
ing, windmilling, oratorical delivery
draws his colleagues from the
cloakrooms as does no other at
traction on the Floor; a bigot ano
a throwback and a travesty of a
true democrat, who still seems to
certain Southern mentality the
Confederate hero incarnate, for
ever manning the sainted ramparts
of Dixie against the damyankees.
Yes, the fiery little intransigeanr
from Mississippi is a caution and
a contradiction, a bundle of sound
cid fury signifying any number or
innings. Only the unreconstructed
South could have produced him.
And only the tolerance of democ-
racy would put up with him.

"Negro Americans, in loyalty to
their Government and the princi-
pies of freedom for which their
sons are fighting on the battle fields
of the world, will respond to the
appeal of the Fifth War Loan along
with all other citizens. AS a mat
ter of fact, they have a double in
centive: First, that there may be
a decisive Allied victory on all
fronts, and second, that freedom
may be given a new connotation as
it affects the rights of all colored
citizens at home"
Other messages included one
from Joseph E. Walker, chairman
of the National War Bonds Savings
Clubs, and president of the Uni
versal Life Insurance Company of
Memphis, Tenn, who said:
CAT this critical hour, as our
boys fight in France, our enthus-
iasm and support should go with
them into every battle. The Fifth
War Loan is test of our faith in
the Negro boys and of our faith
in the U. S. Government. Buy
victory for our boys and security
for our future"

nOtters To Play
House of Davids,
LexingtOn-July Z

Friday, July 7, is a red-letter
day-or, rather, night-for Twin
City baseball fans.
It marks the first game featur-
ing a crack Negro team at Lexing-
ton Park in several seasons, and
the first this season anywhere in
this area.
The team is the famed Harlem
Globetrotters, making it's first tri-
umphantal tour of the nation I'M
der that name and an offspring of
the sensational basketball team of
the same name.
The Globetrotters will face the
popular Bearded Davidites in the
Lexington Park game. Starting
time is scheduled for $3.50 p. m.
In organizing the Harlem Globe
trotters nine to follow in the foot
steps of his great basketball team,
Owner A. M. Saperstein took over
intact one of the top aggregations
of the country, the St. Louis Stars
of the Negro American League,
and added a number of topnotch
performers to make it a most for
midable squad.
George Mitchell, the veteran
pitcher and pilot who led the St.
Louis team through numerous
campaigns, still remains with the
team as manager. He has such stars
as Pitchers Chip McAllister and
R. T. Walker, a great and f1ashy
first baseman in Lefty Treherne,
two former members of the Mime
apolis-St. Paul Gophers in Short
stop Collins Jones and Third Base
man Leaman Johnson and a slug
ging outfelder in Bill Bradford.
It will be a game well worth
watching. Like the Globetrotters,
the Bearded Davidites are strong
and stress the stunts of Snowman
ship the fans like so well.
Robert R. Taylor, member of the
Chicago Housing Authority, said:
Negroes, like all minority
groups, have a vital stake in this
war in which the issues are clear
cut, Fascism versus Democracy.
Let us back the boys who are fight
ing on the democratic front with
our dollars by buying more War
Bonds. Let US help to make a real
ity of that for which they are
fighting"
Justice Francis E. Rivers, of the
New York City Court, sent the fol-
lowing message to the Treasury De-
partment:
"Since we who stand here and
wait are denied the privilege of
fighting on the shores of France to
save Democracy and to destroy the
evils of racism throughout the
capacity becomes then an act of
obvious necessity for the only way
in which we can really participate
in sacrifices for victory"

Work in the Montana
Supreme Court

February 21-State of Montana VS.. John E.
ORourke and others. Appealed from the
District Court OF Silver Bow county. Butte.
Unanimous opinion Of the Court prepared by
Justice Albert Anderson.
FACTS;
The Dokey Social Club operated a place in
Butte in which the principal activity was a
game of Keno The proceedings here are
for the abatement Of the establishment as a
nuisance because Of the gambling activities
alleged to have been carried on there. The
district court entered judgment ordering the
abatement. The principal contention Of the
defendants on appeal is that the "Dokey
Social Club" vas a f%raternal organization
and immune under Chapter 1873 Of the laws
Of 1887.
HELD;
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment
that t1stl there was gambling carried on,
and end that the Dokey Social Club was
not a fraternal organization within the mean
ing of Chapter 1853 of the Laws of 1887 in
that the activities of the club at the prem
ises in question were all far removed from
the legitimate activities Of any f~raternal or
ganization."
February 24-Robert Price vs.. Western Life
Insurance Co.-Appealed from saltwater
County. Columbus. Unanimous opinion Of
the Court prepared by Justice G. F. Morris.
HELD:
In an action to quiet title where the evil
dence showed that plaintiffs possession was
initiated by permissive user only, it was held
that euch possession, though accompanied by
a claim Of title by virtue of an agreement
to exchange lands, was not sufficient to
| establish adverse possession. The Court re-
iterated the rule that when the possession is
initiated under a recognition of the owners
title there must be, in order to establish
adverse possession, an act Of hostility or a
population of the permissive use subsequently
manifested to the owner of the land.
