PAUL NEGROES NOT WANTED in public business houses, and theatres. One of the young men of St. Paul was refused to be allowed to sit in any other place but the gallery after he had purchased a ticket for the parquet, in one of our small theatres. He was informed that under no circ cumstances was any colored people allowed in the house, unless they acce pted a seat in the Jim Crow divi sion. It is a pity that the Law Enforcement League was not acquainted with this fact. A young, colored man of St. Paul was threatened with a slam on the head because he desired to purchase and drink a glass of Coca Cola in one of the down town drug stores of the city. Service to the colored people in some of our leading confectionery stores, consists of a small card with "We do not cater to colored," being shoved under their eyes. But this may only mean the conservation of white privileges in St. Paul. Yet the colored people must circumscribe their desires to the articles and places prescribed for colored people. It is an evident fact that St. Paul has the best behaved colored people of the world, according to a public statement of one of our cities leading race men. Mrs. La Rue left for her home in Elizabethtown, Ky., after having spent a pleasant visit with Mr. and Mrs. Palne, this city. Mr. H. S.

There is soon to be organized a Forum in connection with the Pilgram Baptist church. The ladies of St. Philips Mission are intending to give an entertainment at the residence of Mrs. De Baptist. The colored citizens of St. Paul do not seem to be making very much noise about the coming campaign it seems. Perhaps they intend to be heard from in the near future. After they decided just how the Brownsville affair will be disposed of and the attitude of the different parties in regards to the decision of the Supreme Court in the Chiles, Jim Crow car case. Mrs. M. C. Malone of Galesburg, Ill., who visited Minneapolis during Conference week, the guest of Rev. C. W. Roberts family, is now visiting in St. Paul.

The Colored Catholic's of St. Paul expect soon to give a superb entertainment for the benefit of charitable purposes. Republican Candidate for Governor ADOLPH O. EBERHART, Minnesota's Conservation Governor. Governor Eberhart is the logical candidate for Governor. Young, self-made, progressive, independent, aggressive, he appeals to all that is best in American citizenship. His energy and enthusiasm are boundless and these qualities enable him to accomplish whatever he undertakes. He was one of the original conservationists and called the first Conservation Convention ever held in the country. More than any one person he is responsible for bringing the first National Conservation Congress to St Paul. He has fairly earned the title of "The Governor who does things."

THE VOICE OF THE PRESS. DULUTH DULUTH—SUPERIOR. The social event of last week was the luncheon given by Mrs. B. V. Holmion of 223 E. 6th Street, in honor of Mrs. D. L. Wooten of Mississippi and Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson of Los Angeles. The following ladies and the guests of honor were present, Mrs. R. Stokes, H. S. Merry, J. L. Smith H. J. Shelton, Lillian Newsome, Belle Black, Sedonia Black, Tina Mason, O. Rodney, Minnie Gladys Adams, and Miss Adams of Indiana. The luncheon was served at 5 P. M. The table decorations were pink and white carnations and running ferns. Mrs. Holmion's well known reputation for entertaining went up several degrees and every one present left, feeling indebted to the hostess for a most pleasant afternoon. Miss Cassie Hazel, daughter of Walter Hazel is visiting with relatives in Galesburg, Illinois. Stewart and Marshall are filling a week's engagement at the Orpheum Theatre and incidentally a social engagement with their Duluth acquaintances. During the week they have been the guests of honor at several of those little impromptu affairs so dear to the masculine heart. At the theatre they are top liners, though the billing does not show it. At this writing there is considerable uncertainty as to who will officiate at St. Mark's A. M. E. church for the evening year. Rev. Brewer is still in charge and seems to have a good chance of remaining. Altho he was assigned to Galesburg, Ill., while there are those who would prefer to see him go, there is probably just as many who would like to see him remain and aside from personal reasons of individuals there is no reason why, if he desires, that he shouldn't remain as he has done as well perhaps and better than some of his predecessors who have rendered efficient service. The primary election resulted in a landslide for Cong. Clarence B. Miller and John R. Menning the Stars candidate for Congress and Sheriff respectively.

CLARENCE B. MILLER. Clarence B. Miller, the Republican candidate from this district polled practically the entire negro vote at the last Congressional election. If there was reason for voting for Mr. Miller then, there is twice as much reason for voting for him now. On questions affecting the Negro he voted yea when yea meant something to our interest. Much of the agitation against Mr. Miller at present is mere political buncombe and so far as we are concerned, amounts to naught. *Vote for Miller and the BIG EXPOSITION* in 1913 which will put the negro on the Commercial, Literary, Financial and Political map.

THE FUTURE OF THE RACE IS DEPENDENT UPON THE RESTRICTIONS AND THE HOME TRAINING OF THE UNIT OF THE RACE. From the Reformer, Richmond, Va. There is a crying need in the city of Richmond, Va., for some method or means to put an end to youthful immorality—youthful obstreperousness. Boys at the age of twelve are men. Girls at the age of twelve are women, and grown up old men and women recognize these mildgets as men and women. We were walking along the street the other day and saw a little girl coming up the street. The girl was of robust physique and in short skirts. She was, to appearance, a well-raised child and we considered her as such. Coincidentally, she turned into the same street in which we turned. Before us, going in the opposite direction, were two young men apparently of good raising, well-dressed and comely lads they were. But their conduct belied their looks. This fact, their language to the childwoman attested. The conduct of the trio was such as would pain the heart of any student of conditions as relate to our race. Now possibly, all three of these children—for children they would have, in other days than these, been considered—may have been saved to the race if some means of restraint had been brought to bear to have impressed them of the folly of their way and the ultimate end of their cultivated methods. Now, this is but one illustration of what really exists in this and other cities. It is a shame that should be publicly condemned by all decent people, that grown-up men hang around and "chin" little girls who, of a right should at the time be kneeling by the knees of their mothers saying their, "Now I lay me down to sleep." But the men are not alone to be condemned. For the women, too line up with the boys yet in their "teens" and allow them privileges that even men should not be allowed. They make of these boys men aforetime, and thus issue them into avenues which bring senility of youth and consequently, sterility of age—a fine process of murdering both the present and future generation or placing upon the latter the brand of imbecility and worthlessness. Under these conditions the race cannot develop into men and women, strong of character and of mind, nor powerful of body. This should be a matter of grave concern to every Negro who has the future of the race at heart. Parents should place the "lid" down tighter upon their children. They should restrict their outgoings and their incomings. They should regulate the conduct of the youth with the old-time regulator. They should be careful of the company their children keep. This should be the point through which a social division should be drawn. Privilege should be based upon worth in morals and not upon color or creed. For that people will most effectually inherit the earth who, in protection of the virtue of their women and of their boys and girls, build the strongest fences. Therefore, put the boot to the idler, the "dude," the worthless plotter against the hearth and home around which and in which the jewels of the family circle—teh comely girls and the manly boys, who are the future of the race and the perpetuators of our hope of the yet to be—The Reformer. DEMOCRATS EXPRESS FRIENDSHIP FOR NEGRO Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 14.—In the platform of the Democratic party of this state filed here today was a plank proclaiming their friendship for the black race, and declaring that they never will discriminate against the Negro either by criminal laws or by attempting to deprive him of his right of suffrage. This recalls past moves to disfranchise the Negro. In the last campaign former Congressman Coward, Democratic candidate for governor, in an address in St. Louis practically advocated disfranchisement of the Negroes. This was followed by Cowherds defeat at the general election. The state administration of Missouri is now in the hands of the Republi- Subscribe to the Star.

ELUCIDATES PRINCIPLES OF RE PUBLICAN PLATFORM AT MANKATO. And Declares the Conduct of the Various State Offices Above Re-proach and Deserving of Re-election. Mankato, Oct. 5.—Gov. Eberhart delivered his keynote address before a large audience here last night. The governor said: "In accepting the nomination I stated at the proper time I would discuss the questions pending in this state and in the clear position with reference therefore. That promise I am here to fulfil tonight. In making such statement I shall speak frankly and without evasion, believing firmly that right is might and that the people will choose the right. Progressive Platform. "First, I stand squarely upon the platform adopted by the Republican party of this state. This platform is clear, definite, comprehensive, and distinctly progressive. No Republican candidate need offer any apology either for its contents or for the manner of its adoption. In the language of Theoredo Roosevelt it favors—among other things— Tariff Commission. "The policy of providing for a disexperts which will treat each schedule through a high class commission of experts which will treat each schedule purely on its own merits, with a view both to protecting the consumer from excessive prices and to securing the American producer and especially the American wage-earner what will represent the cost of production here as an incentive of production in countries where labor is less liberally rewarded. Political Bossism. "Party bossism is not entirely extinct in Minnesota. When the Democratic party assembled in Minnesota on July 28th last it nominated John Lind for Governor, after adopting a platform upon which he refused to stand. Mr. Lind declined the nomination and the chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee carried his letter of declination in his inside pocket for six weeks, meanwhile regaling the public with various stories and promises. During this period the Kitchen Cabinet candidate was invited to form—new to the boss, new to the candidate and new to the party, whose policy and action he seems to control in this instance. County Option. The nominee of the Democratic State Central Committee says that he will do more than sign a county option bill if passed by the legislature. He will, if elected Governor, recommend it to the legislature. Without attempting to minimize the force and effect of executive recommendations, I say in all seriousness to the people of this state, that if you do not elect a legislature in favor of county option, a recommendation of the Governor will not secure the passage of the law. Promises like this may sound good during a campaign, but laws are based upon the will of the people as expressed by their chosen representatives. The Policy of Conservation. "That the Republican party in Minnesota is progressive is again indicated by its position and achievements on the vital question of conservation. Our platform specifically commits the party to the conservation of resources "along the lines suggested by Theodore Roosevelt and begun by him during his administration." Minnesota is recognized by all the states in the union as first and most progressive as well as most practical in the line of achievements. The continuation of this conservation work is the most important problem now confronting the people of the state, for it includes not only the conservation of natural but also of human resources. Re-aportionment. "The Republican party is pledged to a new apportionment of the legislative districts in accordance with the constitution. The plank is as follows: "Believing that each and every section of the state should be fairly represented in the law-making bodies, as is provided in Section 2, Article 4, of the Constitution, we pledge the Republican party to the passage of an apportionment law by the next legislature based on population, as shown by the United States census for 1910, to take effect on or before January 1st, 1912, that will give to each county the representation it is justly entitled to in both branches of the state legislature." Primary Law. "Under the present primary law many abuses are permitted. I am strongly in favor of amending the primary system of nomination in accordance with the platform, and also heartily favor the election of United State senators by popular vote. The Problem of Transportation. "One of the most important problems before the people of the state is Brookline Will Fly To St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo.-Walter Brookins, hero of the Chicago-to-Springfield flight last week, will open the St. Louis aviation meet here Saturday by flying from Springfield to St. Louis, a distance of eighty-five miles. Brookins expects to make a continuous flight. Former Senator Dead Long Branch, New Jersey—Rufus Blodgett, former United States senator, is dead. Mr. Blodgett was born in New Hampshire, 76 years ago. that of transportation. The Democratic platform is absolutely silent on that vital question. On the other hand the Republican party has pledged itself on record with reference to the regulation and control of railway, telegraph and telephone companies in the clearest and strongest terms. Upon that platform I stand without reservation and through the legal department of the state I shall exert every effort to guard the interests of the people in all the so-called Minnesota rate cases now pending before the courts. Good Roads. "One of the most important problems to which it has been my privilege to devote considerable time and attention is that of good roads. After securing the passage of the "Highway Commission Act" in 1905, I immediately set out to interest the people of the state in the appropriation of necessary funds. Through the efforts of the press generally, good roads associations, leading men, such as Hon. R. C. Dunn, and others, together with the Commission itself, there has arisen such an interest all over the state that I will recommend, in accordance with the Republican platform, that the next legislature authorize the submission to the people of a one mill State Road Tax. It should also raise the present levy to the authorized limit of one-fourth mill and amply increase the authority of the commission so that road construction through the state could be properly supervised and improved. The state can make no better investment than the extension of aid in the supervision and construction of good public highways, not merely from a purely economic standpoint, but because it is essential in the proper development of rural schools. Labor. "There is no question where the Republican party has stood and where it stands today with reference to labor. All the advance labor legislation on our statute books has been enacted pursuant to its policy of aiding and protecting labor, and I shall use every effort to secure further legislation in the interest of child labor, the protection of health and life of all wage earners and the enactment of a workmen's compensation act in accordance with the recommendations of the commission provided for by an act of the last legislature. Education. "No state in the Union can boast of a better educational system than Minnesota. Yet I think we are all ready to admit that our state has paid too little attention to the teaching of math and home economics in all our schools. Immigration. "Imigration is another important phase of state development. The Immigration Commission should be given more funds and authority so that it may be able to render more assistance in securing desirable settlers and becoming objects of necessarily incident to the development of new territory. Administrative Record. "The state administrative officers constitute one great business institution. In coming before the people as a candidate for Governor it is proper an account should be rendered covering my stewardship already rendered. Record of Attorney General. "Among the brilliant achievements of Republican administration during the past few years is the record made by the Attorney General's office. In the so-called railroad rate cases and cases in state courts against the Western Union Telegraph Company and the railroad company for taxes, former Attorney General Young and Senator E. S. Durment have been employed as special counsel, but in the numerous important timber and tax cases that have been carried to the United States Supreme Court, Attorney General Simpson and his assistant, the attorney the titillated and made the arguments. This is said to be the first instance in which a state has appeared in the United States Supreme Court without the aid of outside counsel. "In 1895 a Republican legislature passed Chapter 163 of the laws of that year, placing in the hands of the Timber Board, composed of the Governor, the Auditor and the Treasurer, to which the Attorney General was added in 1905, the sale and management of the pine timber of the state. The law provided drastic penalties for its violation, and during the incumbency of Attorney General Young there was brought a large number of actions seeking to recover damages for the illegal taking of state timber. At once began a bitter contest in the courts, and the constitutionality of the law was attacked from every possible standpoint. When Attorney General Young left the office in 1909, he reported collections from suits commenced by him amounting to $39,207.06, and in addition thereto several judgments. Many of these suits were transmitted to his successor, Attorney General Simpson, and from the so-called "Timber Cases" there was collected and paid into the state treasury during the past two years $65,141.54, making a total of $109,890.84 as a direct result of the efficient services of these two officials. In the suits of the state against the Western Union Telegraph Company for taxes Attorney General Young received $56,071.80. Many suits were commenced by him and turned over to Attorney General Simpson for further prosecution. In these cases the present Attorney General has been equally successful, and secured a verdict against the Western Union Telegraph Company of $49,047.63. "In 1905 a Republican legislature passed what is known as the inherit Failed Broker is Indicted. Washington, D. C. — Griffin Halstead, son of the famous journalist, the late Murat Halstead, whose brokerage firm failed Jan. 17 last, was indicted by the federal grand jury on charge of embezzlement, false pretenses and larceny.

New Orleans, Louisiana. — Damage caused by fire which swept the Times-Democrat building here will not exceed $50,000. ance tax law, which provides in effect that a tax must be paid for the right to inherit under the laws of Minnesota above exemptions. Thereunder has been collected and paid into the state treasury up to July 1, 1910, the immense sum of $1,054.722.82. "The total collections made by the Attorney General's office from 1905 to July 1st, 1910, inclusive, amount to a grand total of $2,330,735.29. Secretary of State. "In the office of the Secretary of State many important reforms have been instituted by the present incumbent, Julius A. Schmal. In the payment of filing fees, the laws have been strictly enforced, and the record of the two years ending July 31, 1910, shows that the state has received nearly $25,000 more in filing fees than during the two years preceding. Another enactment for which this department should be given credit is that permitting the proposed amendments to the constitution to be published in at least three newspapers in each county, thereby giving every voter a better opportunity to become familiar with the provisions of the proposed amendments. Another measure enacted by the legislature is the one directing the Secretary of State to secure an annual license for every fini and car car where liquor is sold while the car is in the state. Through this legislation the Secretary has collected several thousand dollars annually. The enforcement of the ticket agent license law has been diligently made, and today the state is realizing large sums from this source. State Auditor "Undoubtedly one of the most important offices in the state is that of Auditor, and the record of that office during the past few years is not surpassed in the history of the state. Through the persistent efforts of Auditor Iverson and the Attorney General, a large amount of swamp lands have been recovered by the state and while the value of the timber upon the lands exceeds a million dollars, it is valuable that they also contain valuable amount of iron ore. In securing these swamp land grants the state has conducted one of the most important contests before the Interior Department. Summing Up. "This is a summary of the important issues in this campaign, my position with reference thereto and a brief accounting of my short stewardship. As the executive of a great business institution I have reported to the board of directors and stockholders. It is for the people of the state to judge whether or not I have discharged my duty faithfully and conscientiously, so that I may be deserving of their renewed confidence. Like all others who have occupied important public positions I have made mistakes. No man ever received better treatment at the hands of the public, and while some criticism may have been unjust, I have always consolved myself with the thought that unjust criticism could not injure and just criticism was an invaluable guide to follow in the path of duty. The press of the state has been especially friendly and I wish to express my appreciation of its loyal and unselfish support. Whatever may have been the shortcomings of this administration, I can go before the state of the state with the assurance that I have endeavored to give them the very best service of which I was capable; that I have labored diligently to learn the needs of the labored and its great opportunities for development, and that by reason of such experience I have become better fitted to serve in the future than in the past. To irrit the confidence and good will of the people has been my sole ambition, and I have my cause in their hands, and to prove that the greatness of our state cannot be measured in terms of wealth, territory, commerce or industry, but rather in the prosperity and happiness of the prosperity, the purity of the homes, the efficiency of the schools, the sanctity of the churches, the enforcement of equal rights to all and privileges to none, and the honesty and integrity of our citizenship. Our work at the polls should therefore be an endorsement of what is highest, cleanest and most intelligent in American citizenship. Our work at the polls should therefore be an endorsement of what is highest, cleanest and most intelligent in American citizenship. True, we cannot expect to eradicate selfishness and approach perfection, but we have a right to expect that public conscience shall continue to quicken and civic virtue continue to spread, and that character, honesty, integrity and ability shall be the standard by which personal worth is determined; that the record of every public official shall resemble a torch, that is, the more it is shaken the more it will burn. We have a right to expect that justice shall be meted out to all alike, and that every law of the land shall be enforced against the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor equally and without fear or favor, and that to end I pledge my earnest and hearty co-operation.

King, Mother and Dowager Supposedly on British Warship—Fierce Fighting Reported,'With Many Dead In Lisbon. Lisbon, Port—Portugal has been proclaimed a republic. According to the latest Lisbon advises, Theophile Braga, Republican leader, is the new president. The Portuguese Marselliae is the new national anthem and the emblem of monarchy on the palace has been replaced by the flag of red and green, the colors of the Republican party. That there was fierce fighting in the streets of Lisbon is evidenced by dispatches from all quarters. Disorders at Oporto have been repressed by the troops, many regiments of which are said to be still loyal to the king. King Manuel, the queen mother, and the queen dowager, are reported to have taken refuge in the palace at Mafra, a short distance out of Lisbon. They may now be on a British warship bound for Gibraltar. At least they are considered to have reached a place of safety. London advises state that by a treaty of alliance Great Britain in bound to afford protection to the king of Portugal, Mafra is "duly applied for." The French newspapers are urging the government of rFance not to permit intervention, even if Spain too, is threatened with an overthrow. The French cabinet will meet to deliberate on the Portuguese situation and the advisability of sending a warship to Lisbon. Already British warships are on the way to protect British interests at the scene of trouble. American gunbats Petrel and Wheeling are at Genoa, within easy reach of Lisbon if the American government decides to send them there. No detailed account of the fighting has yet been received or any definite estimate of the casualties. A significant incident, according to the Lisbon dispatches, is the visit paid by the Spanish minister to the Republican leaders after the fall of the palace and the flag of the revolution was hoisted on the town hall. It is impossible to estimate the number of those killed or wounded in Tuesday's fighting, but it is expected to reach several hundred. The city has been considerably damaged by the bombardment of the insurgent warships. The building occupied by the ministers around the Praca do Comercio and the Necessidades palace were made the particular targets of the shells from the warships, and show the effects by broken walls and turrets. The tower of the church attached to the palace was demolished. Thus far, however, no attack has been made upon private property, and it is reported that the banks are being guarded by blue jackets. No news has been received from the provinces, as communication has largely been cut off and dispatches and messages of all kinds have been suppressed. The revolutionists raided all buildings which flew the old flag and tore down the emblems of the monarchy. The warships greeted the hoisting of the Republican flag with salvos of artillery. Eusebio Leso, the Republican leader, made a speech from the balcony of the town hall, saying that he intrusted the policing of the city and the maintenance of order to the care of the citizens. The huge crowd that had gathered around the building cheered the speaker frantically. New Government. The provisional government is composed as follows: President—Theophile Braga. Minister of finance—Baqilah Telles. Minister of public works—Antonio Lome. Minister of the interior — Antonio Almeida. Civil governor of Lisbon — Eusebio Leao. The yacht Amelie has put out to sea with the Duke of Oporto and infanta Alfonso, who embarked at Casablanca to believe that the king is going to take abroad other members of the royal family at Pesico or Ericela.

Maude, one of the most lovable of girls, was equally guilty as an accessory; she received the stolen property.

Football lawmakers, coaches and playing officials toned down the 1910 gridiron rules to some extent at their interpretive meeting, held the other day in Chicago. The authorities of the "Big Eight" and the Missouri Valley conferences translated the difficult passages in the new statutes in a way that will make the coming games less on the parlor order than was expected by the more conservative of the western experts. The all-day session resulted in somewhat more freedom for the forward pass exploiters and a softening of the effects of the rigid laws in regard to the flying tackle. Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago presided at the morning session, and Coach Williams of Minnesota had the chair in the afternoon. These were the only two western members of the national body present, and both contributed much to the discussion. Important readings of the meeting were those providing that the new forward pass, which cannot be sent more than twenty yards beyond the line of scrimmage, and that the fying tackle shall not include those plays where defensive players throw themselves into an offensive play without grasping the runner. Other leading interpretations concerned crawling with the ball and interference. Following were the chief results of the two sessions, as listed by the experts: CHESTY PLAYERS MAKE GOOD Ty Cobb has been reviled more than any other player I know of, writes a well-known New York baseball authority. He is called chesty, a swell head, a grand player, a murdering base runner, and other names enough for a stranger to the game of baseball to think the greatest ball player who ever lived to be a dyed-in-the-wool ruffian of the worst stripe. Now, Ty is chesty, cocky and fresh, but those are the qualities that make the best ball players. Cobb was the freshest kid who ever broke into big league class, is what every Detroit player says who was with the Tigers when Cobb first joined them. But it was that chestiness and nothing else enabled him to climb to the top of his league. He eminently now, and there will be no one to push him off that high pinnacle until he himself says so. And what is chestiness but the feeling one has that one is just as good if not better than any one else in the line of business one follows. Cobb felt it in his youthful bones that he was as good a player as any one on the Detroit team and made good the feeling imbued in him that caused the expansion of chest he is accused of. Chestiness is one of the most promising traits a youngster can show, and he does not want to lose it, either, as he gets older. Ty Cobb newer wore a No. 4 cap I will warrant. There is only one player that names of who ever danced and has a good ball player, and that was Jack Glasscock. Cobb's brain expands with his chest and for the same reason. He knew at the start and knows now that he is as good as they make 'em, and, therefore, why wouldn't he expand, mentally and physically? All this knocking of Cobb, too, comes from nothing else than pure and unadulterated jealousy. It is a case of sour grapes every time. I never knew of a crackerback ball player who was not pounded and roasted from Hellopolis to breakfast, any- Fresh! Latham was the freshest kid I ever saw, but in two years he was a big league star and for ten years after. The Cobbs and Lathams made ball players and they are of the chesty kind that should be encouraged. how. A Great Trick. "What are those fingery looking things on the front of the machine?" "Ah," said the dealer, with enthusiasm. "I was wanting you to notice those. This is our latest death preventer. As I told you, our car is warranted not to strike a tree, telephone pole or lamp post. The moment the car comes in contact with anything of the sort it immediately begins to climb." Jack Lapp is regarded as a coming catcher, and he will undoubtedly get a chance to work some of the games in the world's series. A Great Trick. The rule regarding crawling with the ball shall be interpreted to mean that the runner with the ball who is in the grasp of an opponent shall not be permitted to stretch out his arms with the ball after the ball is dead. Such an act will be called crawling. The rule regarding the amount of time taken out shall be interpreted that the time shall be charged up to a team no matter for what reason time is taken out. It is temporarily agreed that the player carrying the ball shall be allowed to grasp or hold on to another player of his side, provided said player has no special devices about him for the purpose of aiding the runner with the ball. In the case of a forward pass, the ball shall not be regarded as in possession of either team unless it is in the actual grasp of a player. No penalties shall be inflicted for the forward pass until the ball actually leaves the hands of the passer. The authorities disagreed over the real meaning of the complicated forward pass rule, and the following brief statement was decided upon as giving the western interpretation of these rules: The forward pass must be made from a point five yards back of the line of scrimmage, and is not allowed to go more than twenty yards past the line of scrimmage, but the ball need not cross the line of scrimmage. DAHLEN IS LEAGUE VETERAN Has Seen Longer Continuous Service in National League Than Any Other Player. To Bill Dahlen, manager of the Brooklyn club, belongs the distinction of being the veteran of the National league in point of continuous service, says the New York Post. Dahlen was BOSTON signed by the Chicago club in the fall of 1890, and in 1891 played his first game in a Chicago uniform. He played with Chicago until 1899, when he was traded to Brooklyn for Gene De Montreville. After playing with Brooklyn for five seasons Dahien was traded to the Giants for Charles Babb and Jack Cronin. In 1908 and 1909 he was with Boston, and this year was appointed manager of the Brooklyn club. Wise Advice to Follow When shop hours are done, stop talking shop and thinking shop, and talk and think of something else. Extend your thoughts beyond the confines of your place of employment.

Round the Circle Shows for Itself COBB TELLS OF HIS START One of Greatest Players Game Has Ever known Had Hard Time Get- ting into Fast Company. BY "TY" COBB. It took me a long time to convince anyone that I was a good ball player. I think the first one who ever thought I was a great player was Cobb him- self, and because others refused to be- lieve it he felt bad. I was born down in Georgia and began playing the game while at school. As I recall it, I always played the same way, took all the chances there were, and ran all the time. Lots of people now think that is good baseball, but the fellows with whom I played refused for a long time to think so. In fact at the finish of the game, our team usually was divided into two factions, with Cobb on one side and all the others on the other. I had ideas regarding how to play the game but none of us ever had seen much baseball, and we had to think it out for ourselves. One of the big wonders to me is that I as a boy, made plays the same way, and for the same reasons that the star ball players of the big leagues were making, and I never had heard of them. After I got older I commenced to watch the professional team in the Southern league play, and although there were a lot of reasons why I shouldn't have left home, I longed to become a professional player. It was not for the money or anything like that, but because I loved the game and loved to be in the midst of it every time there was a game. Now, it is my advice to all young fellows not to go into baseball or inte "Ty" Cobb. anything else unless your heart really is in the work and you love it, and then quit it just as soon as your love of it and your enthusiasm for it begin to die out. I left home to show up the league, and a few weeks later Jack Grim bought me. The club I was with sold me to Grim I think for $8.50, the price of the car fare home and my hotel bill. I had been doing the same thing again, and my overseasness cost me the position. I was slated to go way down into the bushes and perhaps I would have stayed there and never come out but for the fact that Detroit had some sort of a string to me and Grim could not get me. So I went to Detroit. MACKAY TO MOVE TO FRANCE Raising Laws, Found to Be Too Stringent, Impulse Him to Join Other Millionaires. Clarence H. Mackay who, several years ago, secured a ten years' lease on the Kingston farm of R. L. Baker of Lexington, Ky., at the big figure of $10,000 a year, has decided to remove his entire breeding establishment from Kentucky to France. He has notified Mr. C. F. Hill, manager of the farm, to have all the horses, about twenty-seven brood mares and the imported stallion Meddler, ready to ship by October 1. Mr. Hill will go with the horses and assume charge of the new breeding plant. It is believed here that Mr. Mackay's order is because of the stringent laws in New York. W. K. Vanderbilt, Frank Gould, Dwyer Payne Whitney Herman B. Hwyer and other New York millionaires are now racing in France. Pitcher In Peculiar Play Pitcher Mathewson made a most peculiar and unusual assist in a recent game with Pittsburg when Adams was at bat. The batter missed the third strike and the ball hit Myers on the chest protector, bounding out to foul ground. Myers lost track of it. Matty seeing the ball lying on the ground ran over, picked it up and threw the runner out at first. It is not often that a pitcher can get an assist on a strike-out. DIAMOND GOSSIP Rumors of a three-cornered deal with the Brooklyn, Cincinnati and St. Louis clubs as parties to it are going the rounds again. This is a little early for those rumors to be taken very seriously, for it may be a long, hard winter. Kid Eiberfeld is given credit by Ed Grillo of the Washington Star for bolstering up the Senators this year so that they could break all records for them. The veteran third baseman has been a great aid to the former tall-enders. Although the Millers appear to have the American association flag, Columbus is making a late finish which is opening the eyes of the ball followers in Chivington's organization. With Liebhardt pitching the Ohioans won their seventh straight at the home grounds a few days ago. The Columbus team looks like a former Cleveland team, with Perring, Hinchman, Congalton and Liebhardt in the lineup.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cutucura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cutucura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." New They Sleep Indoors George H. Beattie, jeweler in the old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor of the News, have jointly and severally decided that sleeping out in the open isn't all that it has been declared to be, says the Cleveland Leader. They were both in a deep snooze out at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned into the lane leading up to the Beattie estate and came along at full speed. Sound asleep, but dreaming of impending danger, Ralston rolled out of his cot toward the north, and Beattie from his cot toward the south. The runaway horses dashed between the sleepers, oversetting everything in the way, but missing Beattie and Ralston by margins too narrow to be measured. Since that night Ralston has been housed and Beattie has found shelter under a simple roof of his house on his big plantation. Points to Good Future. Seven poor children four girls and three boys, all about 19 years old, went to a nearby seashore resort, in charge of two women, for a day's outing. The funds for the picnic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the "out of their own accord, and the remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is probably the naughtiest boy in the neighborhood.

Now, that the election is drawing near, our people in the Twin Cities are being looked upon. And they know why. The white man wants your vote. Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously present it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have disfranchised negroes in certain parts for this reason—that his vote was his defense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if they keep promises after election. The days of reconstruction are past. The negro is in his "Era of Political Freedom." Vote for your personal interest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean 'a small sum of money,' but for the men who stand for the principles of right. Assert your individuality, regardless of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Republicans, without fair compensation, and has not given his support to Democrats, who have individually, helped his race. "Right of suffrage" is your only constitutional right. Be not bound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the policies of Lincoln and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Our Self-Appointed Leaders. Too much in the past, it has been the habit of our country to let any man do what he wanted, without regard to other men. We have got to that state when we must consider the interest of all—Rosevelt. Booker Washington, now in Europe, is down to dine with the King of Denmark. The King, after this, can hardly expect social recognition in the South. Chairman Frank A. Day of the democratic state committee was asked today for comment on the speech of Governor Eberhart. This is Mr. Day's response: "I have read Governor Eberhart's speech with a good deal of pleasure, but I have ofrogtten what he said." —Minneapolis Journal. "Cannonism", and "The System" are epitaphs on the Republican Political gravestones. Dietz the outlaw in Minnesota is a popular idol. Innocent Negroes in the swamps of the Southland are branded as flends. Why we differentiate. Gov. Eberhart accuses Frank Gray of incarceration, when he offers to recommend a County Option bill—and says he is trying to draw votes from the County Option Republicans—who may think that his promises may produce results. The governor, has said that he will sign the bills if it passes. Both candidates are on the same platform on the measure. The Legislature makes the laws. The Negroes of Minnesota are not considered in this fight (by representation) and SHOULD be as well of with one governor as the other. Do not let the question of county option effect you. It is a political ruse, and the Negro is between the devil and the deep sea. PARTY EMANCIPATION. The Negroes do not have to follow the regular nominee of the Republican party, because he is a republican. They vote for the man with the right principles and purposes. They have Is there a Negro receiving any recognition from the 5th district of Minnesota?

New Negro Political Movement National Anti-Jim Crow Car Law Five Pledges for Candidates. The Platform. It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for of fice who pledge to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti- Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. Our best citizens are interested in the New Negro Political Movement. So candidates must "come clean with the right goods." The Iowa State Bystander has protested against the Jim Crow proceedings in the Des Moines Jail. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 30th.—Last week Scott Wise, the jailor, by authority no doubt of the sheriff, stated that he would draw the color line in our county jail, having separate cells for the colored women and white women and colored men and white men. A public officer separating the criminals and vicious of the races! It is a shame to the state, county and city of Des Moines to start such a jim crow business. We are surprised beyond expression that a republican county official should attempt to raise the color question in the public discharge of his official duty. It is an insult to every honest, reasonable and respectable citizen in Polk county. It is a dangerous step for the republicans to take. The Bystander has been very tolerant about these injustices constantly thrown at my race, but when public servants whom we help nominate and elect, discriminate on account of color then we will expose and will continually speak our voice against such gross injustices and monster inequalities practiced anywhere. The colored vote of Minneapolis is a power" in this election. The "old guard" of the city of New York was the black vote of the old 11th Assembly district, which never went Democratic, and never was given any patronage, excepting janitorials etc., and a cook or valet of a political leader was the leader of the colored voters. WHAT ABOUT THIS? Has the local union "gone under" during this wave of prosperity? No. Somebody took it. Can he do it? Well, they would always "Let George do it," and it is DID. ORGANIZATION The present crisis should place the Negro where he belongs. Had the Republicans wanted to deal fairly by the Negroes, they would have given them 3 representatives on the State Central Committee, one from Duluth, one from St. Paul, and one from Minneapolis. This is the apportionment that we ask. They could have a county organization and elect a committee of three, the Chairman of the County committee to be a member of the State Central Committee. This will never be done without a Readjustment of affairs. The wheel horses will fight to the last ditch, and the machine will help them, but the result will be that Negroes will be recognized. At present a Negro has no connection with the state committee The Editor of the Star does not seek any undue notoriety, but at all times will defend the rights of the members of the race who are being led by a set of leaders of the Republican party, white and black, who seek to carry out their policies, which places Negroes of Minnesota and Texas on an equal footing politically. Our progress is hindered by those of our race, who are the puppets and lackeys of the men higher up. What representation has Minnesota? Why should they fear organization? It is because the so-called leaders are afraid to come out in the open, and secure their credentials by the consent of their constituents. Do they fear the test. The Star does not belong to any party, does not fear any of the powers, and will not support any man, regardless of our race's best interest. We demand Recognition for the Negroes of Minnesota.

Persuant to a general custom, and by virtue of the official power vested in me, after conference with the executive committee and other officers we have called the Fourteenth Annual Convention of the Western Negro Press Association, to convene in regular session in Muskogee, Okla., Friday and Saturday, November 25 and 26, 1910, for the purpose of discussing all things pertaining to the growth, development and advancement of human society, and especially the welfare of the African race, realizing that the pen is the most potent power when rightly used for the betterment of civilization, and the ultimate solution of all social, industrial, economic and political problems of this century; therefore, we urge upon the editors, correspondents, journalists, publishers and co-workers, book and magazine writers, and men and women engaged in the industrial arts allied to newspaper work to meet us here in regular session, with papers, essays, etc. to be read and discussed at this meeting, pertaining to the real needs of our down-trodden struggling race. All papers are asked to be prepared to be no longer than ten minutes, except those that are specially invited; the discussion will only be eight minutes, unless by common consent. All publications west of the Mississippi river are eligible to membership, annual dues one dollar. This meeting will bring together some of the leading orators and thinkers of the country, and the program when published will bear out this statement. Urging the press to publish this call, and hoping to meet the members of our fraternity in our annual meeting. Witness my hand this 14th day of September, 1910. JOHN L.

Turner, negro lawyer, editor and politician, charged with having received $40,000 worth of notes belonging to the Ford Manufacturing Company, stolen from a mall box June 13, by R. T. Sweeney, a letter carrier, took the witness stand in United States District Judge K. M. Landis' court yesterday and denied the charges. He asserted that he found the papers on the pavement at Dearborn and Monroe streets and that he advertised in an effort to find the owner. Several witnesses who testified in his behalf said Turner was at Olivet Baptist Church at the time Sweeney, who confessed, said he gave the documents to Turner in another part of the city.

Mr. Satterlee's long experience as a business man, and his prominent connection with the public affairs of this city peculiarly qualify him for the position. If elected he will give the city an administration in the interests of all the people and pledges himself to an honest, able discharge of the duties of Mayor. FRANK E. HAYCOCK. County Surveyor, and Republican Candidate for Re-election. Hennepin county is fortunate in having the important office of surveyor filled by one of the most competent in the profession. The office of County Surveyor in Hennepin county requires a civil engineer skilled in road building, bridge building and land surveying. C. L. H. Mr. Haycock is 51 years of age and a native of Minnesota, has lived in Minneapolis nearly all his life, he is a civil engineer and surveyor by profession and has practiced his profession in Minneapolis for the past 30 years, during which time he served 6 years as deputy county surveyor and in 1906 was elected county surveyor which experience has made him familiar with every county road and bridge in the county, and also the most up to date road and bridge construction required and most familiar with all the land marks and property lines in the city and whole county, all of which experience especially qualifies him for the position he now holds and his candidacy for re-election is receiving the support of the best people of Hennepin county and we join in expressing the hope that he will be re-elected. If it's in the Star, it's right. Judge Smith of the Municipal Court is a Candidate for Judge of the District Court. He is well known to the colored people of Minneapolis. His education, experience and impartiality are evidences of his fitness or the position and his attitude towards the colored citizens of our city demands their united support. C. M. E.
