The women of the race in Minneapolis are always ready to make good, but the men as a unit are undependable. A SUGGESTION. In view of the fact that the National Negro Educational Congress which meets in July, will bring among us another element of representative Negroes, we hope that some definite arrangements will be made for their entertainment. The people of Minne apolis have profited by a recent ex perience. The Forum should take the initiative and request that the various churches, clubs, and fratern ities send their delegates to the Con gress, and also invite them to unite with the Forum in a Civic Committee to represent this city. Let us do things decently and in order. Each one will be accorded his social stand ing. Get the best results by unity of effort —and regardless of the former status of the Congress, It will be a success, if you desire to make It. The Assembly Hall in the Court House is the proper place to hold our large civic gatherings. This should be considered by our entertainment committees. It has been proposed that the delegates attending the Con gress be received at two churches. This is unfair to the other churches and will result In Factionlsm —and confusion. Get the Assembly Hall and avoid the usual aftermath. The Negro taxpayers allow you that right, it is your prlhllege to enjoy It. EVERYBODY'S DOING IT NOW. Buying at Pearce’s, 407 Nicollet.
