Twin City Star

DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL LIFE AND WORK OF C. W. ALLEN Who Has Made His Way Up From the Bottom. Among the most progressive business men of western Alabama, and of the whole state for that matter, is Clarence W. Allen, whose picture we present in this issue. He was born in Mobile and received his early training in the public schools and at Emerson institute in his native city. He is one of those young men who have made their way up from the humble walks of life and become potent factors in the development of the financial and business life of the race. For more than ten years he was mall carrier in the postoffice at Mobile, Having invested much of his earnings during this period in real estate, he soon found it necessary to-resign his position to look after his business interests. Mr. Allen is the editor and publisher of the Mobile Weekly Press, which has a circulation of about 5,000, with a newspaper plant valued at $4,000. He is prominent among the secret societies of the state. He has been endowment secretary of the Masonic order of the state of Alabama for ten years and was elected at the last annual session by acclamation. This was indeed a high compliment to him when it is known that he handled for that society last year over $75,000 and paid to widows and orphans of members of the order about $70,000. He is a member of State Street A. M. E. Zlon church, a member of the state, district and county Republican executive committees and is connected with many movements for the elevation of the race in his city and state. Defective Page VOL I.

BUSY WITH MANY INTERESTS Former Letter Carrier Who Saved His Earnings, Caught Time by the Forelock, Engaged In Business and Is Meeting With Marked Success—Editor, Politician and Fraternity Man. CLARENCE W. ALLEN. The success of Mr. Allen has made it possible for him to help others and to serve the race in a substantial way. He employs regularly eighteen men and women in his business and pays them respectable wages. Indeed, the Negro who earns his money and invests it in a way that will give employment to Negro boys and girls as stenographers, bookkeepers and wage earners helps the race in a most substantial manner. ROOSEVELT CHALLENGED. Boston Editor Calls on Former President dent to Show His Colors. William Monroe Trotter, the well known agitator and editor of the Boston Guardian, has challenged ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to a joint debate on the question of equal civic rights for the Negro. It is as follows: To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay. Dear Sir-At a meeting of the campaign committee of the National Political league held in Washington recently I publicly challenged you to show the courage on any day except when writing, disranchising and lynching Americans in the south or to publicly approve of the same. You failed to do either. The same meeting I challenged you to a joint debate and now send you the challenge in writing on your solution of the so called Negro problem as stated by the commission. I will take the affirmative of the proposition that your solution is fallacious and false, a violation of human nature, contrary to the history of the struggle against oppression and the drawing of the color line. I will meet you at any place in New York city suitable for a public debate on any day except election day on one week's notice. Waiting you will sincerely W. M.

He is greatly missed in Minneapolis. THE PULLMAN CO The Pullman Co., is as usual, in need of porters. Many of the old men stick because they are there, but it is the a "door-mat" position. The older "vets" are on the firing line and a Bullet from the General Office generally cuts them off from service and pension. Yet they pay 50 cents a night for station duty, and get "volunteers" to face hard work, humiliation, and death. THE C. P. RY. The C. P. Ry has proven to its porters that they give them more consideration than any other company. They provide stopping places at nearly all points along the line—and issue meal tickets to men in "dead head service". But a porter's lot is hard at times. What good is a meal ticket on a freight? NEGRO GIVEN $3,500 JOB. P. B. S. Pinchback, Once Governor of Louisiana, Goes to Cincinnati. Washington, D. C., Oct. 17—P. B. S.

He wanted to serve as senator, but the senate held him out for three years and finally refused to admit him. In the house he met a similar fate. He served as governor of his state, however, and became prominent on that account among the people of his race. ST. PAUL St. Paul Chapter No. 29 O. E.

Pickens at the recent fall opening of the Lincoln Settlement association in Brooklyn. Mr. Pickens is a member of the faculty of Talladega college, in Alabama. His subject was "Grounds of Hope For the American Negro." Like most men of note who are doing educational work among our people, Professor Pickens lays much stress upon the education of the masses of the race as a stepping stone to future progress and usefulness. Having received his higher or academic education in the north and teaching, as he does, in a southern college, Professor Pickens' ideas of the kind of education needed to enable the race to overcome the many difficulties and the rank prejudices of other races are broad and enlightening. The speaker based his grounds for hope on the remarkable progress which the race has made since emerging from slavery. He cited facts which showed what the race has accomplished in education, business, religious life and in the production of many able public men. The number of students in the high schools, academies, colleges and universities, to say nothing of the number in the rural districts and city schools, furnishes grounds of hope for the future well being of the race. The Settlement association begins its work this fall under very favorable circumstances and will soon begin a series of meetings in the interest of those for whom the association is intended. INDEPENDENTS LINE UP. Campaign Committee of Independent Political League Means Fight. At a joint meeting of the executive and campaign committees of the National Independent Political league recently held in Washington a program for active participation in the coming state and congressional campaign was adopted. According to the leaders, speakers will be sent into districts in which there are candidates who are unfriendly to the black race. The fight, they say, will be commenced at once. The preliminary program contemplates the support of the Democratic state ticket in New York and opposition to all candidates known to be pro-Roosevelt; support of the Democratic ticket in Ohio and of Republican candidates for the legislature who are friends of former Senator Foraker; support of the Democratic ticket in Massachusetts and opposition to those candidates for the legislature who are pledged to Senator Lodge. In New Jersey the Democratic senators say they will support the Democratic ticket, but will bend their efforts toward the election of a Republican legislature. In Delaware and West Virginia the league is to lend its aid to the Republican candidates. According to the committeemen, much of the organization's work will be undertaken with a view to administering a rebuke for the Brownsville affair. COURT OF APPEALS MAY SETTLE SCHOOL CASE Stephen Wall, Whose Child Was Discriminated Against, Continues Fight. The father of Isabel Wall, a little eight-year-old girl of Washington, declares that in case he loses his suit in the court of appeals of the District of Columbia to have his child admitted to the white schools he will take the matter to the United States supreme court. Little Isabel Wall is the daughter of Stephen Wall; an employee of the government printing office. A year ago she was dismissed from the Brookland public school on the ground that she was a Negro. The principal of the school who ordered her withdrawal was sustained by the superintendent of schools. This action was afterward approved by the board of education. Then it was that the father of the child took the matter to court and filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the board of education to admit the child to the Brookland school. The case delayed until the board of education could fix the racial status of the child. The board by a vote of 8 to 5 decided that "for school purposes" the Wall child is a Negro. It was again brought before the court, and the judge handed down his decision establishing the racial status of the child as a Negro. The case was then taken to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, where it was argued quite recently. The decision of the judges is awaited with much interest. Pivitel Point in New York Politics. A prominent Texas editor in expatiating recently on the political outlook in New York this fall, says if the closeness of the New York vote gets the figures down to a margin where the colored vote can decide the contest the Negro voters will convince the country that they have had quite enough of Mr. Teddy.

Blaze Started in Canada Crept Underground, Say Probers.—Damage Placed at Five Million Dollars. St. Paul, Oct. 27.—The Canadian Northern railway is held responsible for the fire which destroyed Baudette, in a report made to General C. C. Andrews, forestry commissioner, by Geo. Chapin of St. Paul and Frank Curtis of Roosevelt, who have been investigating the origin of the forest fires in Minnesota for the last two weeks. The report says there is sufficient evidence to show that a fire was set by the railroad on the Canadian side during the latter part of July. This are worked south of the North branch of Baudette river and north of Rainy river, covering about eight square miles. It burned up to the west side of Baudette and lay smouldering until Oct. 7, when it was fanned by a terrific wind and led to the disaster. About the same time a fire was set on the right of way just east of the Winter Road river. This fire worked east three miles and about two miles back on each side of the track, where it connected with the fire which was started on the Baudette side of the river. Fires Smoulder in Moss. This fire also lay smouldering in the root of the timber and felling it, making conditions favorable for another fire. Four other fires also were started in this vicinity in August, covering from one to eight square miles. These fires were also fanned into life Oct. 7 and resulted in the terrible disaster. The report says the country through which the fire traveled is wild and thinly settled. It has been lumbered and slashed extensively for the last six years, and the accumulation of slashing was lying on the ground. In ordinary years it is very wet, making it impossible for a fire to travel any great distance. As a result a thick growth of moss covered the accumulation of long-decaying vegetation. This year the country experienced a fire. The timber and moss came dry, and as a result the ground formed a peat, holding the fire below the surface and keeping it smouldering during the entire summer. The report said that if there had been no slashings on the ground the fires could have been choked. Prosecutions Are Pending. Eight, prosecutions against the Canadian Northern railway for allowing combustible material on the right of way are now pending in the district court of Beltrami county. The railroad is fighting the constitutionality of the law. If the state wins in these cases, the forestry department plans to bring action against the Canadian Northern for sixteen other fires alleged to have been set since July. The loss from the recent fires is estimated at about $5,000,000 by the agents of the forestry commission. Of this, property valued at $1,700,000 was destroyed. The exact number of dead is placed at 29. This is below the last reports sent from Baudette which placed the loss of life at 34. The list includes two families with seven children each, and one family with three children. There were five lumbermen and one girl, Miss Kate Jasmer, who also lost their lives. 800 Persons Homeless. In a report to the governor, General Wood says there are 800 homeless families to be provided for. He has already arranged for the shipment of enough lumber to build 50 houses in the fire district. An administration building is nearly completed, from which all relief work will be carried. The building is great joyous between Baudette and Spooner and that the relief committee will have to use great diplomacy in assisting these towns. Strike Called For Election.

Y., Oct. 27.—John A. Dix, Democratic candidate for governor, came in for some more rather hard knocks from ex-President Roosevelt, Starting in at Syracuse, Colonel Roosevelt pushed his way northward until he arrived at Ogdensburg. All along the way he kept up his attack on the head of the Democratic ticket. Throughout he coupled praise of Mr. Dix's Republican appoinent, Henry L. Stimson. Colonel Roosevelt carried his attack on Mr. Dix a point farther by asserting the records of the secretary of state at Albany proved that the Standard Wall Paper company, with which Mr. Dix is connected, was virtually identical with the concern of the same name which went out of existence in 1903, and which, it is claimed, was a part of the wall paper trust. He also reiterated his charges against Tammany Hall and Wall Street and his denial of the assertion that "Rooseveltism" is a menace. The town of the nine northern New York town gave the colonel a coronal reception. They filled the streets and jammed the halls in which he spoke. His reception here was the liveliest he has had in the campaign. Alton J. Parker, who is campaigning for Mr. Dix, happened in Richland just as Colonel Roosevelt was attacking Mr. Dix in a speech at the railway station.

OBJECTS TO RULING EXCEPTIONS ARE FILED TO THE OPINION OF THE MASTER IN CHANGERY. E. T. Young and E. S. Durnet Acting As Special Counsel—Famous Rate Cases to Go To Supreme Court. St. Paul.—Another important step in the fight to maintain the validity of the Minnesota rate laws was taken when general and special exceptions of the state of Minnesota to the findings of Judge Otis, special master in chancery in the rate cases, were filed with Judge Otis at St. Paul. The general exceptions, contained in 33 closely typewritten pages, were prepared by E. T. Young, former attorney general. The special exceptions, of about the same length, were prepared and submitted by Edmund S. Durment. Both appeared as special counsel for the state in the preparation and trial action of the state in the exceptions filed acted for C. F. St. Paul, B. Milford, Charles E. Elmquijot, members of the state railroad and warehouse commission, and for George T. Simpson, attorney general. Case an Important One. Inasmuch as the case is one of vital importance to the people of Minnesota, involving principles of state sovereignty and the rights of the state to regulate and control the affairs of public service corporations, the state's attorneys have incorporated in their exceptions every material point affecting the merits of the case which may be the possible subject of contention in the supreme court of the United States. The reasons for each exception are set forth at length. Direct issue is taken with Judge Otis' indings that the state exceeded its constitutional powers in prescribing the contested rates because, as the master said, such rates constitute a direct interference with and impose a burden upon interstate commerce. The state maintains that the constitution gives congress control over commerce beginning in one state and ending in another and the interstate commerce act provides for the federal regulation of transportation carried on between different states; that the laws involved apply by their terms only to intrastate business and do not overlap and conflict with any federal laws. Although substantive law is cited in support of the constitutionality of the Minnesota rate laws, expediency and public policy are also urged in that a judicial finding which cripples the commerce power of a state does not enlarge the commerce power of the nation. Judge's Method Criticized. General exception is entered to the method adopted by Judge Otis in fixing the valuation of the railroad property employed in the state. This is considered the most important feature of the Otis decision. After stating that the master ignored the original investment as a measure of the valuation, the court ruled to return a return and also ignored the instant stocks and bonds of each company, which exceeded the actual investment, Mr. Young says: "He adopted the so-called cost of reproduction as the sole measure of the value of railroad property. The plan followed by the master reduces railroad valuation to a mere exploit of the imagination. Under it the value of railroad property can be fixed at any figure which interested parties will swear they believe it to be worth, and if such a plan is upheld by the courts, railroads can make the public pay any rates they see fit to charge." The attention of the master is also called to the fact that the actions are brought by the stockholders and not the railroads and that a railroad stockholder must act in law to claim a return from the public on more than the face of his valid stock. At the suit of a stockholder the value found cannot, according to the state's attorneys, exceed the outstanding stocks and bonds. Another Exception Filed Exception is filed to Judge Ots' apportionment of interstate and intrastate freight and passenger business carried on railroad property strictly within the state. This point is regarded as of the utmost importance for on the proper and just apportionment of this business depends the property from which determines whether or not the state asks question in this case are confiscatory, as found by the master. The state objects to Judge Ots' division of the value of railroad property between state and interstate business, both passenger and freight. It is stated that Judge Ots by charging to intrastate business an undue percentage of the common value of both intra Crow Wing County Educators Select Leaders for the Year. Brainerd.-At the Crow Wing County Educational Association meeting the teachers' section elected as officers: President, R. R.

Heffren, head of the diocese of Winona, has given a brief announcement of his plans for the building of a boys' college in southern Minnesota, probably at Winona, although he has made no definite statement as to where the institution will go. The complete plant will cost in the neighborhood of $600,000 when completed. and interstate business, it it. made to appear that the railroads are not earning a compensatory income on their Minnesota investment and that therefore the Minnesota rate laws are confiscatory. The next step in the proceedings will be the consideration by the master in chancery of the exceptions filed by both the railroads and the state. He will make further recommendation based upon the exceptions and another of 30 days will be allowed for the latter both sides the admit further exceptions. The entire record in the case, including the evidence, findings of the master, the two sets of exceptions, the master's findings on these exceptions and the additional exceptions, will then go to Judge Sanborn of the United States court circuit. Judge Sanborn will set a time for hearing the arguments of counsel. The recommendations of Judge Otis on the exceptions filed will be billed within a week or ten days and in the order of business the arguments of law and fact will probably come up before Judge Sanborn early in December. The case will be appealed direct to the United States supreme court. SHAKEUP IN THE INDIAN OFFICE N. J. Sero Transferred to Michigan—Minnesota Left to F. S. Brents. Bemidji.—It is given out on reliable authority that there is to be a general shakeup in the staff of government agents working under the direction of W. E. Johnson, who has charge of enforcing the liquor provisions of the Indian treaty in Minnesota, and that other developments of a sensational nature may be expected, even to the ultimate closing of all the saloons in the affected territory. N. J. Sero, who has been one of the leading agents in the work in northern Minnesota, and who has attained notoriety because of charges of assault, preferred against him and Agent James Davis by A. A. Oliver, editor of the Cass County Pioneer at Walker, has been transferred by Mr. Johnson to Michigan and the work in Northern Minnesota is now to be largely directed by F. S. Brentens. Agent Brentens recently visited Cass Lake to investigate conditions, the rules which was to arrest the three saloonkeepers charged with having feared bribes. He has long been in the government service and has already collected evidence which will make his return from the west a feature in the present liquor closing crisis. TRUSTEES WITH DR. BRIDGMAN.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon, has views about food.

"With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying to the public that in my own experience and also from personal observation I have found no food equal to Grape-Nuts, and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefits this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence. "It is my experience that no physical condition forbids the use of Grape-Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach, especially at breakfast, to start the machinery of the human system on the day's work." "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is not advisable to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach is too weak to digest other food.

Was Getting Monotonous. She Probably Could The Difference. WISE WORDS. A Physician on Food. His First Case By DONALD ALLEN Copyright, 1950, by Associated Literary Press Mr. Paul Franklin has passed his examination and become a member of the bar. Not that he intended to hang out a shingle and become a practicing lawyer, but more to oblige the good old aunt who had brought him up and sent him through college and had often said: "You will have the estate to manage during my life, and when I am gone you will have to manage it for yourself. One should be a lawyer to do these things." Within a week after Paul had been granted a legal right to add "Attorney at Law" after his name, the old lawyer of the estate, in turning the papers over to the young man, said: "There is one matter I wish to call your particular attention to. The estate owns Lake Placid. I stocked it with choice fish several years ago and put up many signs of "No Trespass." Those signs have been generally respected, but last summer one particular person, having a camp a short distance away, persisted in fishing in spite of all protests. I have just received word that the same person is back there for the summer and thinks again. Our man there thinks again, our dog. He says that when he made protest this person told him to go to grass." "A very nery person," remarked the young lawyer. "Truly so. I think you should write to the agent there to take out a warrant, make an arrest and bring the case to trial. You can go up there and appear for yourself and c. W. M. make it your first case. The justice is bound to find a verdict for you and impose a smart fine, and that will deter other campers from trespassing." "I don't want to get the reputation of being arbitrary and mean," said Paul. "But people must respect the law," put in the aunt as she came into the discussion. "If the laws can't be enforced what will become of us? People have no more right to catch my fish than to catch my chickens. It is my desire, Paul, that you take up this case. Those people who come out from the city to camp for the summer are a very reckless lot. They don't pay the slightest attention to signs. What they need is a good scare. Lake Placid was three miles from the manor house, on another piece of land. It was a favorite place for summer camping, and there were no restrictions except as to the fishing. It had been stocked with carp as a fad of the aunt. Word was dispatched to the man who acted as watchdog, and in two or three days subsequently he reported that a summons had been issued for the guilty and defiant party, and he named the date when the trial was to come off before the justice of the peace in the village. Attorney Franklin drew a mental picture of a bearded ruffian with a political pull who was setting country law at defiance and demanding Lake Placid of its carp in spite of signs and protests, and he at once looked up the law in trespass and made himself familiar with it. When he had learned all about it, he invented a plea to the jury. Of course, the defendant would call for one. He went out to the orchard and repeated his plea over and over again. It was strong. It was logical. The jury must not look at the value of the carp, but at the principle of the law. "Paul, that will be one of the greatest pleas of the decade!" The jury BIBLE TRANSLATION SNAGS. Proper Names of Holy Writ Look Queer When Put Into the Hot-tentot Language. Some of the difficulties in Bible translation are of a curious nature, being concerned solely with the form of the proper names of individuals, places, etc., occurring in the Old and the New Testament. In translating the New Testament into the Nama or Hottenot language of South Africa, the very name of Jesus creates a peculiar form of language, in a possible save by strict conformity with the grammatical and morphological peculiarities of this somewhat primitive form of human speech. The device, so commonly resorted to by Bible translators, of simple transplanting the Latin Jesus and Christus (or Greek Christus) will not avail here. For in the Hottenot tongues is a suffix indicating the female, and Jesus, or Christus, will really signify that the principal figure in the New Testa "If I Had Known—" must convict the ruffian without leaving the box. You must save a copy for your children to read." Mr. Paul Franklin drove over to the village at the hour named in the papers. All the campers had turned out for the trial, as well as all the idlers of the village. His honor was on his dignity. The defendant had retained a lawyer. There was to be a mighty legal battle, and he would apply for three or four warrants," said the watchdog, as Paul arrived. "The same person was out fishing again this morning, and when I yelled at her she run her tongue out at me!" Paul did not catch the "her" and "she." It was the black-bearded ruffian he was thinking of. Under summons, and yet fishing for more carp! There must be no letup until the doors of the county jail closed behind him. It was for Paul to state his case to court and spectators. He had a feeling of trepidation as he arose, but it passed as soon as he heard his own voice. He didn't see the black-bearded ruffian among the crowd, but of course he was there. There were men, the lawyer told the court, who respected the law, and there were others who deemed themselves superior to it. This was a case where a man, coming from a city notorious for its graft and "pulls," was deliberately and defiantly trampling the law under foot. He would bring forward witnesses to prove that the man had not only seen the signs of "No trespass," but had deliberately and defiantly—— Here there was some tittering and giggling in the room, and his honor rapped for order. "Yes, this man—this ruffian, who had been accustomed to trample on the law—" "More giggling and applause." "You should keep to the case," kindly advised the court. "Thanks. There were the signs of 'no trespass,' and yet this man——" "What man!" asked the opposing counsel, while many spectators laughed. "The guilty party, sir," replied Paul with all proper austerity. "But let me explain that there is no man under summons," said his honor. "Can you be thinkin' of another case?" There was more laughter, and poor Paul realized that something had happened to the machinery to stop the boat. "It's a woman!" whispered a man behind him. "It's a girl," whispered another. "It's that staving-looking girl in front of you," whispered a third. "Your honor, I was led to believe that a ruffian had been trampling on the law," said Paul, as he looked around in a helpless way. "No. The summons was for Miss Katherine Lacy, and she's here in court. I haven't heard anything of a ruffian." "But—but—" persisted Paul, as he saw the defender at last and noted the fact that she was one of the best looking girls he had even seen. "My client pleads not guilty," said the opposing counsel. "She will admit being on the lake in a boat at various times, and of fishing for fish, but she denies catching any. She also denies that she is a ruffian. If my learned brother on the other side wishes to go ahead with the case—" "But how can I?" asked Paul in a helpless way. "I prepared to prosecute a black-bearded ruffian who was trampling the law under foot, but here I find—" "A young lady who hasn't been trampling," finished his honor. "I think it would be well for the complainant and defendant to walk over to that window together and see if some amicable understanding cannot be arrived at." Miss Lacy rose up with mischief in her eyes and walked, and the blushing young attorney could do no less than follow her. There wasn't much conversation after reaching the window. He said: "My dear Miss Lacy I beg your pardon a thousand times over." "Don't mention it." "If I had known——" "But you didn't." "But you may catch every fish in the lake." "Thanks." All that was left was to withdraw the case and take the railery in good part. Of course, the young limb of the law was over to the camp, and of course he was hospitably received and before the camping season was over—well, the "ruin" and the lawyer were engaged to be married. ment story was a woman, a view that would certainly antagonize completely modern Christian theological doctrine. The Hottentot suffix which indicates the male is b, and, therefore Jesub and Christub are the forms which these names must take in order to be thoroughly exact and grammatical. And in line with Christub and Jesub must also be Paulub, Moseb, Amob, Judub, Thomab, Zabheub and many other Biblical names. Only Ahab, Job, Beelzebub, Jacob, Moab and a few others would pass muster in the form best known to us.

"GRAND OLD MAN" Walter Camp. According to Walter Camp, popularly known as the "Grand Old Man" of football, there are circumstances wherein even a football player is not entitled to occupy turf room on a football field, says Detroit News. He must pull up stakes and "beat it" or be penalized. The circumstances are these: A player is running to catch a forward pass. An opponent is directly in his path but is not aware of the whereabouts of the ball in the air. He realizes that the runner is in the area and links in with the standing still he will make him (the runner) go out of his way in order to complete the pass. If he is successful in this, Camp avers that any ref- Players Are Now On Edge and Ready to Tackle Any Team—Captain Manley Shows Class.

Announcement from Boston that the next annual meeting of the United States Golf association will be held in Chicago on January 11, has set the Boston golfing politicians to talking about an eligible for the office of president of the national organization. This position has thrice been offered to Chicago and on each occasion the president has been offered—David R. Forgan of Owensville—has declined on account of business pressure. The national championship having been held in Boston this year, at the Chicago Golf club the year before, and over an eastern course the year previous, it is now fitting that the 1911 event should be assigned to an intermediate club. Buffalo and Pittsburg are both out for the event, but in recognition of the victory of Fownes in the national the consensus of opinion seems to be that the event should be awarded to the Oakmount Country club, which has already done some campaigning for the event. Some action will be taken at the amateur tournament at the P. S. G. A. in regard to the entertainment of the Australian team which will visit the United States next year. Word was received in Chicago the other day that Michael Scott, who recently won the amateur championship of New South Wales at Sydney, Au- --- eree may legitimately penalize on the grounds of interference with a bona fide attempt to catch a forward pass. "It's up to the player to either get off the earth or be penalized," Camp says. "What! Am I not entitled to standing room?" the indignant football player asks. "Not in the least. You see readily that by occupying certain standing room they are interfering with another fellow's chances of completing a forward pass. Therefore it's up to you to get out. The rules may be taken as literally as this throughout. Except in a very few instances they are purported to mean exactly what they say." trail, will lead the team from the antipodes that will visit this country Scott, who is a son of Lon Eldon won the Australian open championship in 1902 and 1907, and the Australian amateur title in 1905, 1907, and 1909. BENDER FEELS FOR UMPIRES His Experience Gained at Officiating at Football Game Raises His Sympathy for Arbiters No one has ever been known to accuse Chief Bender, the Athletics' crafty and expert Indian pitcher, of being foolish. His work on the diamond and in other branches of athletics has always indicated that he knew what he was about. As a trap shooter the redskin is a tough man to beat. But it remained for the Chief to run amuck athletically when he grew careless few years ago while among friends in Osage nation. A lot of Carlsle and Haskell Indian football stars had organized a team, and they thought it would be a fine thing to have Bender referee a post-season game with the Oklahoma university eleven. Chief tried his beat, but he didn't know the rules. His own people kicked as hard as the collegians, and both teams felt that they were lucky to get through with a tip score. "Ive always had a great deal of sympathy for umpires since that football game, but I would rather umpire baseball games forever than take a chance on mixing up with 22 excited football players again," said Bender, DISCREDITS A THIRD LEAGUE George Tebau Does Not Believe Good Players Can Be Secured for Fletcher Project. George Tebau, owner of the Kansas City Blues, while in Louisville the other day said that he did not think there will be a new major league. He said: "The players have prospered under organized baseball. They are getting the highest salaries in the history of the game, and the older men, whose experience dates back from ten to fifteen years, will keep the younger ones in line. Men with money are needed to promote a new league, and they want to see the value of their investment before they put up the cash." Tebau declares that Kansas City is the best playing city in the American association and says his team next year will be the best money can obtain. He says Danny Shay has made good, and will remain as manager. He expects Thomas M. Chlvington to be re-elected association president without opposition.

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 policles 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? The Colored Republican delegation of St. Paul went to the County Committee, and came away "pleased with the outlook." That's saying a good deal, and we feel that they are "men who know." Of course, everybody can vote at the coming election. No attention was paid to registration. Well, there are people paid to "get out the vote" also people paid to "get out and vote." Over in Duluth they are saying something and doing something. They are trying to return Clarence B. Miller to Congress—They will. There are too many leaders among our people at this time, and there was not a Negro candidate for office at the primaries. Giving political meetings will never profit the race anything. Let the candidates do that. Enter in the race, and put some of your energy in your own effort. Those of our race, who are always campaling for some one else of the white race, will never assist their own brothers. The leaders know that a Negro should have been elected to the Legislature this year. Have the Campaign-managers forgotten that there is a necessity of getting out the Negro vote. It is yet an uncertainty, although a known quantity. One political meeting in sight, and no literature circulated. Why should he be regarded as your political property? Why should you expect his support without asking him? Candidates for re-election hold "a Negro appointment" as credentials, by which they demand the entire vote. Or they have "personal representatives" who are interested in their campaign. There is no organization, and a score of colored campaign-managers, who instead of being independent of all candidates, are dependent on all candidates. This chaotic state was caused by the fact that those who are on the seats of the mighty ignored the better element, and recognized the plots of the schemers. 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?

"The adoption of a county option law by the Legislature would not endanger the Minneapolis patrol limits and the local option law. If Hennepin County were to vote dry under County Option, the saloons would be closed. If it did not so vote, neither the patrol limits or the dryness of the villagers would be affected." IN MILITARY CIRCLES. Committee Appoints Officers For the Washington High School Cadets. Washington High School Cadets. The military committee of the board of education at Washington, which consists of Captain James F. Oyster, chairman; President W. V. Cox and Mr. R. R. Horner, has announced the staff and field officers of the separate battalion of high school cadets. The battalion of colored cadets will this year consist of six companies, two of which will be at the M Street high school and four at the Armstrong Manual Training school. Because of the rigid enforcement of the rule relating to the enlistment of cadets the enrollment of cadets this year is in excess of that of previous years. The officers are as follows: Major, Norman Ewing, Armstrong Manual Training school; adjutant, Preston Early, M Street high school. Captains of companies are: Hugh B. Shipley and Charles M. Wilder, M Street high school; John R. Fearing, William E. Davis, Thomas E. Jenkins and Clinton Wood, Armstrong Manual Training school. First lieutenants are: Francis Magruder and Charles Houston, M Street high school; Edward Dixon, Charles W. Scott, Riddick H. Pree and Graham A. Burwell, Armstrong Manual Training school. Second lieutenants are: George Adams, George Hayes and Francis Dent, M Street high school; Franklin Carter, Harry Whitfield, Harold B. Murray, William H. Watts and Ernest Mabray, Armstrong Manual Training school. Major Norman Ewing is the son of J. R. Ewing, clerk in the treasury department, and a grandson of Captain James P. Norman of Falls Church, Va. Major Ewing entered the Armstrong school in 1907 and served with great credit to himself and to the school in the positions of private, corporal, first sergeant and lieutenant. Besides his military examination, his high scholarship and many bearing have won for him the position at the head of the battalion. Major Arthur Brooks is the military instructor of the high school cadets. NOTED SONGSTER BEGINS RETIRING SONG RECITALS. Mme. Hackley Will Devote Future to Developing Young Musicians. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Under the able and successful management of G. Grant Williams, Mme. E. Ezalia Hackley, the noted soprano soloist, made her last public appearance as a concert artist at the American Academy of Music, Philadelphia, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 19, before an immense audience. The event marked the beginning of a series of retiring critiques which Mme. Hackley will give. Previous plans for the tour were interrupted by the advent of Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind soprano girl, to whom Mme. Hackley has devoted much time. Upon the completion of her tour she will begin the development of plans to help young musicians and also for the improvement of musical conditions generally among our people. The occasion also marked the debut of Miss Mayme White as a pianist. Miss Mayme received her musical education at the Oberlin (O.) Conservatory of Music. She received a warm welcome. Other well known artists who assisted Mme. Hackley in the recital were: Harrison Emanuel, a favorite young violinist of Chicago; J. Thomas Butler, dramatic reader, Philadelphia; Miss Isabelle Talafero, who is one of Philadelphia's most recent young musicians. Miss Talafero made an enviable record for herself while a student at the New England Conservatory of Music. Clarence Cameron White, noted violist, and Mrs. Louise Burleigh Burleigh, reader, gave much enthusiasm to the occasion in the rendition of several favorite selections. Mrs. Burleigh read from her own book of poems. Those reflecting childhood days reveal the genius of the author in a happy vein. FIGHT ON IN BALTIMORE Attempt to Segregate Colored Citizens Meets Stubborn Opposition. The colored citizens turned out nobly at the city hall of Baltimore Monday night, Oct. 24, to protest against the unfair ordinance some whites are seeking to have become a law in order to keep the colored people confined to certain residential neighborhoods. Stirring addresses of protest against the measure were delivered by the Revs. A. L. Gaines, W. A. C. Hughes, W. E. Williams, G. R. Waller, Editor J. H. Murphy of the Afro-American Ledger and others. Harry S. Cummings, the only colored member of the city council, will make a stirring address when the measure comes up for final passage. Looking For Johnson's Superior. Miles McLeod of Albany, Mo., is the only white man who has thus far announced himself as the savior of his race to win back the heavyweight championship from Jack Johnson. McLeod weighs 225 pounds, is twenty-eight years of age and says he is no novice in the boxing business when it comes to scientific hitting and severe punishment. Joe Choynski seems to be the self appointed leader whose business it shall be to find a white man who can whip Champion John Arthur Johnson. 8. A. STOCKWELL Candidate for school board. Negro Pugilist Beaten In Auto Race With Oldfield. PETER OLDFIELD EASILY DEFEATS JOHNSON New York, Oct. 26.—The ambition of Jack Johnson, champion heavy weight pugilist, to annex other honors as a racing automobile driver received a blight here at the hands of Barney Oldfield. Johnson showed to poor ad vantage in his new role, and Oldfield in one heat of their five-mile race at Sheepshead Bay toyed with the big fighter. Only two heats were needed to settle the question of superiority. Following his victory Oldfield gave out this statement: "I raced Jack Johnson for neither money nor glory, but to eliminate from my profession an invader who would have had to be reckoned with sooner or later. If Jeffries had fought Johnson five years ago, the white man would have won and after Jeffries retired he would never have had to fight him again. If I had ignored Johnson for a year or so he would probably have gained much experience on the tracks, and bought high-powered cars, while I am not getting any better from day to day. I am glad if my victory over Johnson will have any effect on the 'white man's hope' situation." In the first heat Oldfield ran away from Johnson. He was quicker to get away and Johnson's car never showed ahead. At the finish Oldfield led by about a quarter of a mile. His time for the five miles was 4 minutes, 44 seconds. The time of the second heat, 5:14 4:5, or :30 4:5 slower than the first, tells the story of the heat. SEN. GEO. P. WILSON. Candidate for Re-election. Senator Wilson has served the people of the 41st dist. (5th and 6th Wards of the city of Minneapolis for 12 years in the State Senate). He has always been a friend of organized labor. He advocate the semi-monthly payment of employees by corporations etc. Supported the Employer's Liability Act, and favors Re-apportionment. His record is well known to the colored people and "he is their friend." Sen. Wilson is opposed by Mr. Alonzo Phillips, the Democratic nominee, who was defeated for Sheriff at last election. WE ASK YOUR VOTE FOR SEN. WILSON. OTTIO S. LANGUM. Otto S. Langum is the logical candidate for re-election to the office of Sheriff of Hennepin Co.

We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 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.
