Elmo Roper Gives
Definite Views
On Race Issue

Elmo Roper, nationally known
public opinion expert, was in Min
neapolis, Tuesday, with some very
definite ideas about how the Ameri-
can Negro question may approach
solution.
Americans who believe in true
democracy must see to it that the

educational equality, Roper told

and st. Paul Urban League at a
luncheon meeting at the Citizens
Aid building, Tuesday noon.
Roper willingly and effectively

and has loaned over $40, 900 to men,
bers; in 1887 and 1888, sponsored,
in conjunction with the Cameo club
charity balls, proceeds of which pur-
chased clothing, provisions and nee
essities for the needy. The Credja-
fawn annual June party, its picnics,
pOw-wOws, bike parties and its
birthday party; have not only be-

The current argument over meat is

matter solely between themselves and the
American consumer. Usually a fair bar
gain was struck with the consumer getting
his moneys worth-and meat.
