Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the pottofflce at
St Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 2. 1079.
One of the greatest privileges of citizenship is the ability to
use the ballot without danger of molestation. This fact has made
men realize its worth because it makes man part of the governing
force that governs him. Because it gives him the opportunity of
supporting or opposing whatever measure he desires.
To safeguard this valuable privilege, laws are necessary to
prevent corrupt usage of the ballot. Various states have enacted
different legislation for the purpose of better securing themselves
for public safety. Among these several states Minnesota has al
ways considered the free, yet properly guarded, use of the ballot.
The legislature last year adopted a measure whereby registration
must be done in a different than usual way. To fulfill this objec
tive the City Hall is opened daily to those wishing to exercise the
privilege as well as duty of citizenship. Verbal appeals and letters
are being used to secure a respectable registration so that the
spring primaries and general election following might truly be “the
will of the people.’
We wish at this time to call our voters’ attention to the neces
sity of registering in order to vote in the spring election. If we do
not register and men not of our liking are elected to the public
office, we have in a large measure ourselves to blame. To be con
scious of the fact that we have done our duty to ourselves and to
our city we must register and then vote at the primaries and at
the general election. «
There are men in our city government who have shown their
willingness to mete out fair play to all men, regardless of color,
creed or previous servitude. Ope of these men we believe to be
Arthur E. Nelson, present Mayor of St. Paul and candidate for
re-election. Mayor Nelson has not only given recognition to sev
eral of our men in public life, but has publicly demonstrated his
belief in fair play. We believe that we are deserving of a higher
representation in the various departments of the city. If we sup
port men who are fair-minded, we may be assured of securing this
representation. But if we, even registered, fail to vote, we are
jeopardizing our Ability to elect the proper city authorities. It is
paramount that every race man or woman legally eligible to vote,
register and use the ballot in the proper direction.
The Race voters of our city must register and vote just the
same as those of the other group. Let us support real men, not
promises. We control a strategic ballot if used effectively. There
are many things we are due. The only way to get them is to help
men of worth and quality. No matter how busy we are, we must
find time to go down to the City Hall and register.
How much is your newspaper worth to you? There are those
who say “A local newspaper is not worth anything to me.’’ It is
that person we want to talk to; the man who realizes the*value of
a newspaper to a community needs no education on that particular
line. It is the man who feels that a newspaper is not a valuable
asset to the community that we want to reach. Have you ever
overheard a conversation of what happened in a distant city; of
some corporation being organized; of some civic program being
undertaken or a statement to the effect that such city is the best
metropolis in America for economic or social advantages. Did you
stop to consider how this information got out of the realms of this
respective city ? Possibly it came from a passerby who had visited
there; again it may have been written to a friend. But in the ma
jority of cases the home town paper, the little edition you refuse
to advertise in, the journal you will not pay your subscription for
—that is what advertises your home town to the outside world.
When your city is the topic of conversation, yon are being dis
cussed. When your city is highly recommended, you are likewise
benefited. Your home paper can function in a great capacity only
when you support it. Your paper serves you individually when it
helps the city, of which you are a part. , For that reason, if none
other, it is worthy of your consideration.
Pay up your back subscription. Don’t have the circulation
representative to call again and again when you have no intention
of paying. It takes money for us to put out a paper every week.
We must collect from our subscriber as well as the advertiser.
Those who think advertising should pay the cost of production and
overhead expense must remember your subscription money is vital
to the maintenance of your local paper.
If you are not a subscriber, send in your name with your
check. Tell your friend, if you are a subscriber. And above all
things, begin to realize that your paper is your advertiser and does
many things you could not do.' Is it worth anything to you to have
a real home paper? THINK IT OVER.

PUBLIC LIBRARY IS PLAN
OF PROGRESSIVE TOWN
Johnson City, Tenn.—Establish
ment of a public library had lta be
ginning in a “book shower” held on
January lint, at the M. E. Zion
church, under the aueplcea of the Wo
men’! Bible and Civic Club,* an active
organisation headed by B. S. Grime*.
These services are held evfry Sun

l Timely Topics ji
(Chicago Whip)
When the present captains of oar
industries, directors of our finance
and our so called spokesmen in pub
lic matters pass over in to the “great
beyond’’ how and by whom will their
places be filled? What preparations
are we making for the next genera
tion? Is it to drift in as the seasons
or are we planning to shape men to fit
the places of their fathers? While
our enemies are planning to preserve
their supremacy for the next ten thou
sand years, while they with their pen
etrating and prophetic brains are com
baUng the natural laws of evolution
and fraternity to insure the wealth of
the world to their sons it appears that
we should peer at least ten years in
front of us to make sure that what
we have already achieved and acquir
ed may not be destroyed and the
heights which we could not reach may
be scaled by those who will come aft
er us.
Almost every black man who has
accomplished anything, to our under
standing, has veritably lifted himself
by his own bootstraps. His fathers
did not build him a fulcrum and lever
and then command him to move the
world, but he was forced to manu
facture his own implements of ad
vancement and then find a place for
them before he could begin his lift
ing. Something should be placed in
the hands of tbb next generation. A
spoon in the mouth of a new born
black boy may mean a star in the
firmament of men as the clouds roll
by. The present fathers of black boys
have no desire to have their sons
raise their eyes into the blackened
ceilings of misery as they have done.
They wish for them fuller careers and
grander achievements, but the wish
without work will mean nothing but
the same old story.
The fathers of white boys have al
ready visualized the careers of their
sons and following the syllogism of
Kant that the "sons of priests must
be priests,” they are teaching their
sons not only to 'toaster their
own affairs but also the affairs
of all mankind. The white father
does not sen dhis sons to worship
at the feet of the masters of science,
philosophy, and human condjict for
mere accomplishment, but he has
stated that “white supremacy must be
maintained.” When the sweet voice
of Hayes is blended with that of Car
uso, when the lneomparable genius of
Tanfier is made to commune with Ra
phael, when the brilliancy of Dußois
has been shunted somewhere to com
mingle with Poe and Hawthorne and
when the entire array of lights at
black men are deflected out yonder
lfito the mystery of infinity, who will
take their places? Is the innate gen
ius of the black race to be "bora to
blush unseen” or will the present gen
eration recognize as a fact that it is
here and proceed to develop it?
Every possible encouragement and
opportunity should be given to the
youth of today and every 7 business
man and Individual who is concerned
with the affairs of his people should
select his understudy in order that In
the years that follow the next gener
ation may carry on and on until sup
remacy is theirs. While our rivals
in the race of life seek to keep us
under a perpetual handicap it is en
tirely wise that we should match their
plans with our own whereby we may
be stripped of every weight.
D.Y.W.Y.K. In
Sleigh Party
On Tuesday evening, the D. Y. W.
Y. K. club, which is composed of
young women, gave a sleigh party.
They met at the home of Mrs. Doris
Roper, 977 Fuller avenue, at 8:30
P. M. The club and their invited
guests, consisting of twenty-four, oc
cupied two sleighß and toured the
city. While touring the city the first
stop was made at the hooqe of Mrs.
Wm. Hanna, 520 Western avenue,
where they were served refreshments
and dancing took place, thence over
the icy road to Mr. Mason Fields, on
Sherburne avenue. While going up
Grotto across University avenue to
Aurora avenue, they drove by Mr. and
Mrs. R. H.
avenuef, where musk was furnished
by Miss Alice Melker and dancing
was the feature. They were still go
ing up the hill, so they decided to
surprise Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hllyard
and son Courtney. The party was
treated royally thdre, Mrs. Hllyard
serving light refreshments. Down St
Anthony avenue to Mrs W. B. Walk
er’s, while still on St Anthony ave
nue, we noticed a bright light at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Mose Johnson
and decided to stop there and drop In
on a party of 600 players. From
there the party wound up at the
home of Mrs. ports Roper, from
where they had started. A “Piggly
Wiggly” luncheon was served and
dancing was the feature of the eve
ning's pleasure.
Battling Siki
May N[ead Card
In Minneapolis
Conqueror of French Idol Being
Sought to Appear at Armory
January 31.
Battling Siki, Senegalese, not so
long ago held the world's light heavy
weight champion, will headline the
next boxing show at the Kenwood
armory January 31, according to re
liable Information Tuesday.
Neither Frank McCormick, presi
dent of the Hennepin County Athletic
association, nor his matchmakers.
Tommy Walsh and Billy Hoke, have
made such an announcement, but it is
learned that Walsh has placed Siki
on the 1 card and, ostensibly, has the
Negro signed. Walsh, who went to
Chicago Sunday night, Is believed to
have signed Siki or reached an agree
ment with him some time ago.
Word that Siki is to be on the card
bears out the mysterious announce
ment Hoke made from the armory
ring at the Fulton-Herman show last
Friday night that “two of the best big
boys- in the country will be on the
next card.”
No intimation is given of who Sikl’s
opponent will be, but it Is believed
that Walsh will endeavor to obtain a
high-class boxer of color to meet the
Senegalese battler, although bouts
between Negro and white boxers are
now allowed in Minnesota. The field
of classy light heavyweight. Negroes
is none too large. Kid Norfblk head
ing the list. It was Norfolk who de
feated Siki in his first bout in'this
hountry.

FOR THE
Bulletin-Appeal
The paper that gives

both local and foreign
"Si! Bulletin-Appeal
and you will be able to discuss
all current events
Bikl is rfnp of the most colorful
boxers in the business today. A
French Colonial soldier during the
war and decorated for valor in battle,
Siki soon after his disohsrge from the
service hastened back to the ring and
has had a varied career.
Before he knocked out Georges
Carpentler, in the sixth round, Sep
tember 24, 1922, in Paris, gaining the
light heavyweight championahip, Jie
had defeated Marcel Nil lee and Brei
tenstraeter, the German heavyweight,
and had gained a technical knockout
over Ermlnio Spalla, the Italian who
now aspires to a match Jack
Dempsey.
After beating Carpentler, Siki be
came wildly with Paris civil
authorities in one escapade alter an
other and the French Boxing federa
tion deprived him of the title, which
it later restored, only to have Siki
lose it to Mike McTlgue in Dublin
last St. Patrick's day.
Rev. David Jordan of the Camphor
M. E. Church gave a very inspiring
talk on “Fellowship.”
