MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL RATIO REMAINS ABOUT THE SAME Eberhart's Plurality Will Be Approximately 60,000. Democratic Candidate for Governor of Minnesota Successful Only in Lyon County—Justice O'Brien Running Ahead of Democratic Ticket, But Fails of Election—Big Vote for Attorney General Simpson. St. Paul, Nov. 10.—Returns coming in from all parts of the state did not change materially the majority which was estimated for Governor Eberhard from the early returns Tuesday night. Three-fifths of the precincts of the state have been heard from, giving a total of 108,556 to Eberhard and 72,587 to Gray. The ratio is approximately the same throughout the rest of the state—and there is nothing to indicate the contrary—Eberhard will have a total vote of 181,000 and Gray 121,000. Justice T. D. O'Brien, who is the Democratic candidates for the supreme court, is running ahead of his ticket, but the Republican landslide prevented him from retaining the seat that he might otherwise have won. Returns from about 700 precincts gave O'Brien 31,875, D. F. Simpson 35,786, E. A. Jaggard 38,794 and Arthur H. Snow, the other Democratic candidate, 19,686. These figures, however, include Ramsey county, where O'Brien ran ahead of Jaggard and far ahead of Simpson, so that when the complete returns are in from the state it is likely that O'Brien will be further behind than the present returns indicate. There are only meager returns on the other candidates on the state ticket. Those so far indicate that Attorney General George T. Simpson will have both the biggest vote and the biggest plurality and that Walter J. Smith, candidate for treasurer, and S. G. Iverson, candidate for auditor, will vie for second place. S. Y. Gordon, candidate for leutenant governor; Julius Schmalt, candidate for secretary of state, and C. F. Staples, candidate for railroad commissioner, will probably run about even. Defective Page VOL I.

MAJORITY IN BUT ONE COUNTY So far Lyon county is the only one that shows a majority for Gray, the figures there giving him a few votes the better of it, the figures being 1,008 for Eberhart and 1,021 for Gray. County option is given as the principal reason for the big majority for Eberhart, aside from the fact that Gray was comparatively unknown. The espousal of the county option cause resulted in the disruption of the entire Democratic organization. BEVERIDGE IS OUT OF IT His Hopes for Another Term at Washington Gone. Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—Senator Beveridge's hopes for another term at Washington went glimmering when returns showed conclusively that the Democrats had elected the majority of the members of the Indiana assembly, which will meet next January to choose Mr. Beveridge's successor. According to the latest figures the Dem- COPYRIGHT BY CLINEDIDGE. SENATOR BEVERIDGE. occrats will have a majority on joint ballot of thirty-two. John W. Kern has been endorsed by the Democrat for United States senator and in all probability will become the colleague of Senator Shively, also a Democrat. It is conceded that the Democratic state ticket was elected with a plurality of about 15,000. Of the thirteen Indiana members in the national house of representatives twelve will be Democrats. Edgar Dean Crumpacker of the Tenth district being the only Republican elected. Subscribe to the Star. MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JAMES C. HAYNES. Mr. Thos.

IMPORTANT PUBLICATION. Murray's Encyclopedia of the Race Nearing Completion. Murray's historical and biographical encyclopedia of the colored race throughout the world, upon which Daniel E. Murray, assistant librarian of congress, has been working for the past fifteen years, is about ready to be published. It will tell of the progress and achievements of the race from the earliest times down to the present. It has over 20,000 biographical sketches of men and women of the race in every age of the world. There are also sketches of the authors of the 6,000 and more books and pamphlets written by members of the race which they have contributed to the literature of the world. Another feature of the encyclopedia is a synoptical account of all the works of fiction by Caucasian authors that deal with the race question. The work will be published by the World's Cyclopedia Publishing company in five volumes. It will be the most complete and valuable piece of literature so far brought out which deals with the history and progress of the race the world over. The Door of Opportunity Still Open. Colored men, do not imagine that the door of opportunity or the window of hope is closed to you. Remember the latchstrings of the door of opportunity and the window of hope are not held in the hands of men. God keeps these in his hands, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. Whatever your condition, unless its laziness. God can help you. Even if it is difficult, it will be difficult, for the good book says, "If any man lacketh wisdom let him ask of God, who giveth liberally and upbraideth not."

When the king and queen of Denmark recently entertained at dinner as their special guest Dr. Booker T. Washington they paid a high tribute not to Dr. Washington and the Negro race, but to the highest type of American manhood. CLEVELAND AS PROPHET. Truth of Late Ex-President's Prediction Has Come to Pass. The general discussion which is now going the rounds among Afro-Americans in most all sections of the country as to the wieldion of members of the race affiliating in any way with the Democratic party recalls an incident which occurred between Grover Cleveland during his first term as president and B. K. Bruce, who was then register of the treasury. As Mr. Bruce was a Republican, there was much speculation on the part of politicians as to whether he would be reappointed by Mr. Cleveland and again as to the propriety of his accepting to serve under a Democratic administration should the president see fit to make the appointment. Early in his administration President Cleveland sent for Mr. Bruce and offered to reappoint him, but the register pointed out to the president that the colored people would never have any more confidence in him if he consented to hold a federal office under a Democratic administration. Mr. Bruce's frankness astonished the president, who, as the story runs, told him that the time would certainly come in the future when members of the Negro' race would not consider it unmanly or unwise to affiliate with the Democratic party in an official capacity. One need only to look at conditions as they exist today to see the truth of Mr. Cleveland's prophecy. Democrats Elect Majority of Montana Legislature. Helena, Mont., Nov. 10.—Returned show that the Democrats have elected at least fifty-three members of the legislature, which means that a Democrat will be elected to succeed Unitec Senator MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY FORUM. The widespread interest which the meetings of the Sunday Forum is causing is well attested by the many people who week after week attend its meetings. The young people whom the Forum is especially seeking to interest are taking an active part in its work; adding spice to its discussions: bringing to its varied programmes the best of their accomplishments in music; and in oratory. It is especially noteworthy that the best men and women among us, best from the point of accomplishments and character, are joining efforts in upbuilding the important work where the Forum has undertaken. Dr. Redd our young physician, and at present its presiding officer is a fair example of the busy men who are giving of their time to the people's work. Dr. R. S. Brown, than whom there is no busier man in town, is chairman of one of its important committees; he is often at its meetings taking an aggressive part in its discussions. Wm. R. Morris, B. S. Smith, J. M. Allison, Mrs. Ione E. Glbbs, Miss L. O. Smith, are a few of the names which come to mind when recalling those who have lent interest to the programmes. The editor of the Twin City Star is chairman of its publicity committee, and Mr. Osa A. Lawrence of the Weekly Visitor prepares its programmes. The discussion of practical means by which the interests of our people may be conserved, together with a lighter programme of songs and reading make up its sessions. The Forum is not sectarian, engaging the best efforts of the best people of every denomination. Its meetings are held twice each month, on the afternoons of the first and third Sundays, at 3:30. Its next meeting will be at St. Peter's Methodist Church, Sunday, Nov. 20th. The public is not only invited, but is most earnestly urged to attend. Will M. Smith Secy. Publicity Committee ST.

The waiters of the Twin Cities are doing more good for the rest of the craft, than they are credited with, and are willing to let the outer world know that they are a class of men, who demand good treatment and get it. Their managers and superior officers are men, who seem to value good servants and good service. The majority of our waiters are not the past masters, or globe trotters, who have served everywhere, everything and everybody, but are the real waiters of today, those who "please the guests." This is the secret of service. Give the man who buys what he wants. The Twin Cities today get some of all of the people of the world, and our waiters here are to a standard which meets the demands of the traveling public. We admit that most of them are not equipped for the high class service that is the standard of some of our Eastern cities, but they know its fundamental principles. Among these are men who own their homes and have respectable families in fair circumstances. The best waiter of today, is the most intelligent. His diplomacy is his most valuable asset. He is the salesman of the food department, whether in dining car, club, cafe or hotel. His service either commends or condemns. The public will not stand for anaw deception. They are reasonable. They do not wish "Uncle Remus" stories or "dining room vaudeville." Yet there are a few of the guests whose familiarity becomes contemptible. But if a waiter will stay a waiter, and not an information bureau, he will always be in a position to secure work which will afford the most comfortable living today. Be what you seem to be!

MAJORITY OF ABOUT THIRTY Democrats Will Have Control of Next House. And Some Slight Changes Are Likely to Occur—Cochems Refuses to Concede Victory to Berger, the Socialist, in Wisconsin—Republicans Have Small Majority in the Senate. Chicago, Nov. 10.—Sixty-second congress: Democrats elected 225, Republicans 164, Socialists elected 1, doubtful district 1; total, 391. Majority of house 196. Democratic majority in house 29. Complete returns on the election of representatives in congress indicate that the Democrats will have a working majority of twenty-nine in the next house. The number of Democrats elected to congress, according to the last returns, which are of an unofficial character is 225. The Republican representation will be 164 or 165, or 8 seats less than the Democrats now have in the Sixty-first congress. The Eleventh Pennsylvania district, which is represented in the Sixty-first congress by a Republican, is in doubt. The Twelfth Pennsylvania district, also normally Republican, is likewise doubtful. The earlier returns indicated the election of Robert E. Lee, and he is carried in the table as representative of this district. Later returns, however, give his Republican opponent, Robert D. Heaton, an excelle ltning chance, and the official count will be necessary to determine the result. Absolute confidence is not felt in the returns for some of the Wisconsin districts and it is not impossible that the official figures will change the totals of the two parties. The Fifth Wisconsin district is claimed by Victor L. Berger, Socialist. Henry C. Johnson, Socialist. David could not concede Burger's election, and a recount may be necessary to decide the election. Results Accomplished. The political upheaval Tuesday was followed by a general survey of the field, which disclosed with greater detail and precision just what results had been accomplished. Latest calculations on the national house of representatives, based on complete but unofficial returns, show that the Democrats will have a safe working majority of thirty. The outcome of the United States senate is now definitely settled. The Republicans are assured of sixteen new senators, which, with thirty-iour holdover senators, gives them a total of fifty. The Democrats are assured of fifteen new senators, which, with twenty-five holdovers, gives them a total of forty. Two senatorships are still in doubt, namely, the successor of the late Mr. Dolliver in Iowa and of Mr. Carter in Montana, where there is prospect of a tie. These determined totals, however, leave a Republican majority in the senate as follows: Total membership, 92; necessary to majority, 47; Republicans, 50; Democrats, 40; doubtful, 2. The sixteen Republican senators considered assured are from California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The fifteen Democratic senators considered assured are from Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. ON SUCCESSOR TO DEPEW Political Prophets Are Buoy Picking Him. New York, Nov. 10—With a safe Democratic majority assured in the next state egistature, which will select a United States senator, political prophets are picking a probable successor to Chauncey M. Depew. Several candidates are expected to seek the position and in the opinion of political observers the race promises to be interesting. Already the names of four men in New York city have been advanced as having performed party services meriting this reward. They are William F. Sheehan, Judge of the E. Park, Edward M. Judge and John B. Stanchion. In view of the fact that of the changes which made Democratic control of the legislature possible occurred upstate, it is considered certain that the claims of men residing outside of New York city will be advanced. So far, however, no names of upstate Democrats have been mentioned. The Star Phone, N. W. 3515 Main. CHAS. S. SMITH, Editor, 126 Cedar Ave. MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.

Thirty-four thousand engineers affiliated with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and employed on sixty-one railroads south, north and west of Chicago will take a strike vote to be returned in Chicago on December 10.

Abandoning the sea route around Cape Horn, arrangements are being made for a reduction from thirty-one to twenty-seven days in the mail and passenger service between Australia and London by using the new transcontinental railway across the Andes in South America. Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore, was not executed November 8 at London, England, as originally arranged for the reason the law provides that two weeks must elapse between the dismissal of an appeal and the carrying out of the sentence. November 23 has been fixed upon as the date of the execution. The Nobel physics prize has been awarded to Prud. Van Der Waals of Amsterdam. Anton Schwartz, millionaire brewer, president of Bernheimer & Schwartz, New York, shot and killed himself. Grief over the recent death of his son was the probable cause.

We like her beautiful or plain, clever or just ordinary; witty or not; shapey or pudgy, but confound it we do wish that each and every one of them would get over the notion that a man has no right to turn the pages of a newspaper just because he's wedged against her in a street car. we've been frozen by a sigh to the quick by a sigh just because we've tried to read the story continued on page seven, column five, and the thing that hurts the most is that we still think that we had a perfect right to do so—Detroit Free Press.

The mistake is frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics—drugs. New material from which to rebuild wasted nerve cells is what should be supplied, and this can be obtained only from proper food. "Two years ago I found myself on the verge of a complete nervous collapse, due to overwork and study, and to illness in the family," writes a Wisconsin young mother. "My friends became alarmed because I grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. I took various tonics prescribed by physicians, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not change me and I gained a nesh blood blood. "Reading of Grape-Nuts, I determined to stop the diet and see what a change of the diet would do. I ate Grape-Nuts four times a day, with cream and drank milk also, went to bed early after eating a dish of Grape-Nuts. "In about two weeks I was sleeping soundly. In a short time gained 20 pounds in weight and felt like a different woman. My little daughter whom I was obliged to keep out of school last spring on account of chronic catarra has changed from a thin, pale, nervous child to a rosy, healthy girl and has gone back to school this fall. "Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the only agents used to accomplish the happy results." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human emotion. TWIN CITY STAR. DEMOGRAT VICTORY ELECT GOVERNORS IN OHIO AND FOUR EASTERN STATES. SENATOR BEVERIDGE DEFEATED Eberhart Carries Minnesota by At Least Fifty Thousand—House is Democratic—Dix in New York Has 100,000. John A. Dix, the first Democratic nominee elected in 16 years, will be the next governor of New York. He was chosen by the people over Henry L. Stimson, Republican, for whom Theodore Roosevelt stumped the state, by a plurality based on nearly complete returns of from 55,000 to 65,000. New York city gave him a plurality of more than 100,000, while Stimson came down to the Bronx with about 40,000, leaving a substantial lead for the Democratic nominee. Both the assembly and senate returns ran strongly Democratic and there were some notable upsets in even the congressional districts. Representative Herbert Parsons, a lifelong friend and political associate of Theodore Roosevelt, and formerly chairman of the Republic county committee, was ousted by Jefferson M. Levy. Representative W. W. Cocks of Nassau county, Theodore Roosevelt's home seat, was tipped out by Martin Littleton. William S. Bennet was defeated for congress by Henry George, a son of the political economist. Vice President Sherman's candidate for congress was defeated by a Democrat. Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, gave ground to Richard E. Connell, a Democrat. Not only did Colonel Rosevelt lose on the state ticket, and his candidate for congress was defeated, he went for Dix and the Democrats brilliantly shouted that they had "beat him to a frazzle." Landslide Is General. Elections held throughout the country resulted in a political convulsion of far-reaching extent similar to the famous tidal wave of 1882, and even more widespread in its effects. The national house of representatives has been carried by the Democrats, who will control that branch of congress by a working majority of 30 after March 4 next, reversing the present Republican majority of 43. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri has announced his candidacy for speaker to succeed Speaker Cannon. Republican United States senators are assured from Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, and Democratic senators from New Jersey and probably Tennessee, in addition to those already elected. In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson, Democratic, is elected governor over Vivian M. Lewis, Republican, by thirty thousand, reversing the Republican plurality of 8,000 in 1907. The legislature of New Jersey is heavily Democratic and will elect a Democratic United States senator to succeed John A. Kean. In Massachusetts Foss, Democrat, defeated Governor Eben S. Draper, Republican, for re-election by about 33,000 plurality, reversing Governor Draper's former plurality of 8,000. In Connecticut Judge Cimeon E. Baldwin is elected governor over Charles A. Goodwin, Republican, by about 3,500 plurality, reversing the previous Republican plurality of 16,000. In Ohio Governor Judson Harmon, Democrat, candidate for re-election, is elected by an estimated plurality of 60,000. In New Hampshire Robert P. Bass, Republican candidate for governor, is elected by about 7,000 plurality. In Rhode Island Governor Pothier, Republican candidate for re-election, is elected governor by a plurality of 900. In Tennessee the fusion candidate, W. Hooper, is elected by 12,000 plurality. In Michigan, Chase S. Gasborn, Republican, is elected governor by a plurality estimated at 40,000. In Wisconsin, Francis E. McGovern, Republican, is apparently elected by a reduced majority and the return of Senator La Follette is assured. Returns from other localities of the Middle and Far West are not yet conclusive. In California Johnson carried by 25,000. In Wyoming the election of Carey, the Republican candidate for governor, is claimed by 4,000. Governor Eberhart's election will be by a majority of seventy thousand. It was a landslide for the Republican candidate for governor. The entire Republican state ticket is elected with Governor Eberhart. Minnesota will send its usual delegation to congress with the one exception of Sydney Anderson of the First New York Print Bill Cut in Two. New York, N. Y. — One of the most notable economies effected in the New York City government under the present administration is shown in the budget account of the department of city advertising and printing. The decrease as compared with 1908 is $950,000, or nearly 50 per cent. Expedition Seeks South Pole. New York, N. Y. — The Explorer's Club here has been notified that a Japanese expedition to the South pole will leave Tokyo on Nov. 15. Negro Slayer Lynched. Macon, Georgia. — A negro named Walker, who killed Marshall Charles Bush, of Montesuma, Ga., two weeks ago, was taken from the Macon jail by a mob and lynched. His body was strung up over the Flint river bridge. He had only been captured about two hours. Cracksmen Make Big Haul. Toledo, Ohio. — Cracksmen blew the safe of the Home Savings Bank at Mettamore O. 22 miles west of Toledo and got away with $2,000. district. Anderson appears to have won by a majority ranging from 3,500 to 5,000. In the Second district, where a strenuous fight was on between Congressman W. S. Hammond and F. F. Ellsworth, Hammond won by a small majority. Minneapolis Mayority. Mayor Haynes, Democrat, was elected by a bare majority of 24 votes. He received 12,778 votes, Satterlee 12,754, and Van Learn, Socialist, 11,753. Beveridge is Defeated. Indianapolis — The Democratate state ticket is elected, including both houses of the legislature. Albert J. Beveridge will be succeeded in the Senate by John W. Kern. The Democrats made a clean sweep of Marion county (Indianapolis), electing the entire legislative ticket. Vanderburg county (Evansville), is also carried by the Democrats, where they gained three members of the legislature. 12 of the 13 congressmen from this state will be Democratic. Democrats Control House. Chicago, Nov. 9.—Democratic control of the next house of representatives is a certainty. It is known that the Democrats had gained 26 seats in the house, including two previously secured in Maine. Republicans gained from the Democratic net gain 24, which is sufficient to give them control. The definite Democratic gains were: New York, 8; Pennsylvania, 3; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 2; Massachusetts, 2; Maryland, 2; Connecticut, 1; Illinois, 1; Iowa, 1; Kentucky, 1; Missouri, 1; West Virginia, 1. The Republican gains were: Massachusetts, 1; New York, 1; Pennsylvania, 1. James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic national congressional committee, issued the following statement: "President indications are that congress will be Democratic by about 35 majority. Thus the returns indicate that our pre-election estimates were about correct. Results In Iowa. Gov. Carroll was re-elected by 15,000 and the Republicans saved nine congressmen. I. S. Pepper, the young Democratic candidate in the Second district, walked away with the election, carrying every county over his opponent, Charles Grilk. It was in behalf of the latter that Colonel Roosevelt recently made an address at Davenport. In the Fourth and Sixth districts respectively, the Republican incumbents, Congressman Haugen and Kendall were reported in danger. Burlington reported that Congressman Kennedy, Republican, "was safe." This statement was disputed by Democratic S. F. Prouty, the progressive Republican candidate of the Seventh (Des Moines) district who wrested the nomination from the veteran "stand-patter" Captain Hume seemed to have landed the position so often sought unsuccessfully before Walter I. Smith, a member of the Cannon rules committee, and who is credited with leadership aspirations, was elected with a greatly reduced plurality in the Ninth. Surprise In Wisconsin. Milwaukee—The Social Democrat party will be represented in the next house of representatives by Victor L. Berger of the Fifth Wisconsin district, his election being conceded by the Republican committee. Incomplete returns show Berger to be leading his opponent, Henry C. Cochems, insurgent Republican, by an apparently safe margin. Gaylord, Social Democrat, also claims he is elected over Cary in the district, but this is not conceded by the claims, who claim Cary's election by a small group. The Social Democrat elect their Milwaukee county ticket by between 2,000 and 5,000. Democrats Control West Virginia. Wheeling.—The Democratic victory in the First congressional district assumed the proportions of a landslide. John W. Davis, Dem, has been elected by a majority of more than 1,000 to succeed William P. Hubbard. Legislative gains throughout the state seem to indicate that the legislature will be Democratic on joint ballot, insuring the defeat of N. B. Scott of this city for e-election to the United States state. North Dakota The result in North Dakota is still in doubt, but it is likely that Gov. Burke, Democrat, is re-elected, while Gov. McCain, Republican, the state tick et and congressmen. Oregon. Portland, Nov. 10.—Complete returns from 267 out of 987 precincts in the state at large and from incomplete returns from 87 precincts give Oswald West, Democratic nominee for governor, a lead of 1,702 over Jay Bowerman, Republican. Bismarck.—The annual meeting of the North Dakota Bar Association was held here, President Lee Combs of Valley City, in the chair. The chief address was delivered by Frank L. McVey president of the state university. Tomorrow Dr. F. R. Smith, head of the state board of medical examiners, will speak, and the meeting will close with a banquet given by local members of the association. Chicago Theater Licenses May Go Up. Chicago, Illinois.—Alderman F. A. Britten announces that he will introduce an ordinance into the city council raising the licenses of all first class theaters from $1,000 to $2,000 per year. An ordinance closing all the theaters on Sunday has also been proposed. War Chief Ends World Tour New York, N. Y.-The around-the-world-tour of Secretary of War Jacob M.

"He is phenomenally gifted. As an example of his early erudition, what do you suppose was the first words he ever spoke?" "Papa' and 'mamma'?" "Stuff and nonsense!" ejaculated the father in a tone of disgust.

"Of course, if you have children with you—" hesitated the kindly woman of the house, and was immediately informed that there were six children in it. "No, I don't tell a fib, neither," was the indignant protest later drawn forth by the condemnation of one who had shared the good bread and butter thus secured. "Fib nothin."

The minister's eight-year-old daughter was returning with her parents from church, where the district superintendent had that morning occupied the pulpit. "Oh, father," asked the little girl, her face alive with enthusiasm. "Don't you think Brother C. is a very strong preacher? I do."

So Crisp So Flavoury So Wholesome So Convenient So Economical KICKED INTO BASEBALL GAME Harry Lord, Crack Third Baseman of Chicago Americans, Took to Playing Naturally. By HARRY LORD I was kicked into professional baseball. When I was a boy I played the game, but never with any thought or desire to use baseball as a means of gaining a livelihood. I had ambitions in other directions. I played at high school, but never gave the game much serious thought until I went to Bates college. There I began to study the game, and also football, playing on both the varsity teams. I played the games because I liked them, and the further I advanced in baseball the more of the possibilities in the line of making plays I saw. The game interested me beyond the mere physical enjoyment. There was a lot of pride to be taken in accomplishing a play by outthinking or outwitting the opponents. I began to study to see how the major league players did things, and compared their ways of making plays with the ways we had at college. Still I didn't any idea of entering the game professionally until near the end of my college career. I was young, and the necessity of making a living salary was forced upon me. I began to cast around to see what my chances were in realizing upon my experience and education derived from a college course. The prospect was not a promising one. I had a hard fight with myself, but finally decided to abandon my career temporarily at least. I joined the Worcester club under Jesse Burkett. One needs a good drill master in starting in baseball, and Burkett, no matter what else people may think of him, is a good teacher. He is a natural instructor of men, and has the power to illustrate his lessons. I learned the finer points of the trade there, then went to Boston. While going into baseball almost accidentally I have found it a clean and honorable profession and one likely to develop a man and make him not only fight for his own rights but respect the rights of others. The only objection I can see to the profession for a man is the traveling. One becomes too much of a wanderer and misses home life. No boy should try to start in baseball with the idea that it is "fun." for Harry Lord. there is much hard work and a great deal of pain and hardship connected with it. It is wearing on the body and on the mind, and the strain of a hard season wears quickly upon even the strongest. Besides, there is less of a place for the "joy man" in baseball than in any profession. They do not belong and they cannot stand the strain long. ASKS FOR NEW GOLF "SPOTS" Follower of Game Wants Far West to Have Occasional National Tourney—In East Too Often. Picific coast and middle-western golfers are agitating strongly the holding of the national amateur championship in other sections of the country than in the east, as they have been for so long. They declare the holding of the tournament in New York or New Jersey or in the New England states has practically prohibited far western golfers from getting any chance to compete. It is advocated that in four years of tournaments two of them should be held in the middle west alternated with one of the Atlantic and one of the Pacific coast. This, they believe, will make it possible for golfers from all over the country to compete in the tourneys. There is a general feeling of dissatisfaction in the west with the conduct of all forms of athletics and this has at length spread to golf. The effect of this is seen in all sports. In track athletics the east conceded the national championships to New Orleans this year and the event is sure to go next season either to Chicago or San Francisco. In other sports the viewpoint has changed. Franklin B. Morse, in the Golfers' Magazine, advocates the need of more representative tourneys. His opinion coincides with that of other western players, and experts in this division of the country think he has some grounds for complaint. MANY AFTER THE TITLE NOW Death of Stanley Ketchel Causes Many Middle Weights to Get Busy—Papke is Favorite. The death of Stanley Ketchel, the pugilist, at Springfield, Mo., has precipitated the middle weight championship situation into more or less of a muddle. Four claimants to the title stand out prominently and of these three have faced the former champion in the ring, while the fourth would have had the opportunity before long had not Ketchel's life been ended. This last is Eddie McGoroy of Oshkosh, Wis. The others are former champion Billy Papke of Kewanee, ill, now in Australia; Frank Klaus of Pittsburgh and Hugo Kelly of Chicago. Papke can claim distinction by the fact that he was one of the very few that ever beat Ketchel. Papke knocked him out in the twelfth round of a bout at Los Angeles two years ago. This is the one decisive beating the champion suffered in his career. TWIN CITY STAR. THOUGHT SHE HAD PRACTISED Frenchman's Suspicions Really Something of a Compliment to the Men of America. Claude Grahame White, the English aviator, praised at a dinner in New York, the good fellowship of Americans. "The American woman is regarded abroad as an angel," he said. "The man is admittedly a good fellow, but an angel he is far from being. "You've heard of the Frenchman, perhaps, whose sweetheart spent the summer in America? After her return the poor Frenchman seemed quite blue. "What's the matter with you?" a friend asked. "I am worried," the other muttered, "about my fancies. You see, since her return from America she kisses so much better than she used to." AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight itching but it grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terrifically because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing wores and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain—would commence and then I would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor said it must be salt rheum. Having used Cucicura Soap merely as a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Cucicura Remedies—Cucicura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eighteen months ago, there was a slight return of the scalp humor. I commenced the Cucicura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cucicura Soap and half a box of Cucicura Ointment in all. The first time I took six or seven bottles of Cucicura Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or tedious treatment. Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound, it comes to my knees and had it not been for Cucicura I should doubtless be wholly bald.

A Condition, Not a Theory. A sociologist in conversation with a practical person from the middle west concerning the labor problem in her part of the country thereby learned the lesson of the situation. "Are there many men out of work?" he asked. The lady admitted that there were quite a number. "What," said he then, "do the unemployed do? "Nothing," said the lady. "That's the trouble."-Youth's Companion. The Regular Fare "What makes you think that young man will be a success in society?" "The fact that he has such an extraordinary appetite for tea and salads." Cheap. Howell—Every man has his price. Powell—Well, I wouldn't have to borrow money to pay yours. SIMPLY DRIFTED INTO GAME Outfielder "Bill" Davidson, Outfielder of the Brooklyn Team, Tells of His Early Start. BY "BILL" DAVIDSON. The only reason I can think of that I became a professional player is that when I was a small boy I lived near the Chicago American league park. Up to that time I didn't know whether to become a bank robber, a cowboy or a conductor, but when Camiskey brought his team to Chicago I used to climb fences, chase foul balls and do anything else I could think of to see them play. My brother and I played together and after we had seen a game on the White Sox park we used to sit up as late as the family would let us, arguing over plays. I dropped my other ambitions and decided to become a ball player. Also I played hockey from school as often as I dared, in order to watch Jones and his team play. I learned a lot from them, and pretty soon got on a bigger team and finally my brother and I began playing semi-professional ball around Chicago and in a short time he went out as a professional. Finally I got a job at Fort Dodge and in that league I hit hard, leading the league in 1906, and the next year Lincoln bought me. Somehow I didn't seem to advance rapidly. I certainly worked hard there, for I was determined to get up in the business. My brother was making good in the American Association and there always was a lot of friendly rivalry between us. I wanted to play in Chicago, my home town—and last fall Manager Chance bought me from Lincoln. Up to that time my sympathies had been with the American league, perhaps because I lived near Comiskey's park, but I was glad of the chance to join the Cubs, which I think is the best club in the world. I had little chance to win a regular position there, however, with such a strong outfield and I was anxious to play. It did not please me to think of sitting on the bench and watching the others. I learned more in watching the Cuba play in the spring and during the early season than I learned in my minor league experience and when I was traded to Brooklyn I felt sure I could hold my own. I had gained confidence in myself and had a team I felt I could help. It makes a lot of difference to a fellow what team he gets with, and G "Bill" Davidson. how he is received, and in Brooklyn I think I found the right team for me. Many of us were starting in the big league and felt closer to each other on that account and more anxious to help each other. We are going fairly well now—and watch us next season. DARING FEAT IN CALIFORNIA San Francisco Man First to Climb Twin Peaks With Motorcycle— Forced to Pick Way. Harry P. Christofferson, an enthusiastic and daring motor cyclist of San Francisco, performed a feat the other day heretofore unaccomplished by any wheelman. He rode to the top of Twin peaks on his new seven-horse-power machine. What makes the performance so remarkable was the condition of the road Christofferson wheeled over going up the mountain. As a matter of fact, he had no road to travel over whatever. He was forced to pick his way over rock piles, through heaps of sand and various other obstacles. There was no path or trail to follow. It was rough riding, such as no other cyclist ever experienced. "I certainly will not attempt it again," remarked the successful climber. "Going up I bent my handle bar, ruined a tire and knocked my exhaust pipe to pieces. I shouldn't have attempted it, but I got started and I was determined to go through. I had to pull down a couple of wire fences before I reached the summit, and I don't know how many rock piles I went over. Considering the condition of the ground, I went up in good time. I don't know how long it took me, or I didn't have a watch." Christofferson climbed what is called the north peak, and he geared his machine very low for the ascent. To control Boxing in France A new boxing organization to control the sport in France has been organized in Paris, with M. Frantz Rétchel as president. The meeting was attended by most of the managers of the boxing halls. The scop and character of the association is defined as follows: To determine French championships; to take where necessary joint disciplinary measures against boxes; to control the engagement of professional boxes, and to decide the scale of weights in championships.

New Negro Political Movement 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 office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville 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. Presidential Appointments We are glad to know that Pres. Taft has at last decided to give our race such high-class representation. We have no criticism of the appointees knowing that these representatives give credit to our race, and while it is gratifying to know that we are "fed on soft corn" the Negro will not prove ungrateful, But will never again "lick the hand that smites him." The Negro Political Movement has struck a blow which reaches the solar plexus of the Republican Party, and they went down and out and took the count. When the leaders of this movement resisted party pressure, and renounced their allegiance, they asserted their individuality and sowed the seeds of independence on the fertile soil of constitutional right, and the results of the election produced unprecedented land-slides and proved that they are a power worthy of future consideration. Before the days of reconstruction the Negro was the adopted child of the Republican Party, and before his maturity, was cast adrift on his own responsibility, a victim of the schemes of the carpet-baggers, and a prey of the Lilly-whitehs. He has "trodden the wine-press alone" and learned "a lesson by experience" and is now awake to his sense of political duty. OVERCOMING A HANDICAP. (Minn. Journal.) Nov. 6th, 1910. President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham have agreed to name William H. Lewis, Assistant District Attorney in Boston since Mr. Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Lewis is a negro, and has a record as one of the braniest football players in the United States. For this and other reasons his career is as remarkable and as fascinating as a romance. In twenty years he has overcome the most difficult of handicaps, that of race prejudice, and has won himself a place by the sheer forces of mind and character. Twenty years ago while at Amherst young Lewis was made captain of the eleven. He went to Harvard and became the greatest center rush that ever wore the crimson, besides doing well in his studies. He is a light man for his position on the team, but used his brains to offset his lack of weight. At the end of his college career, he practiced law, went to the Legislature for a term, and was about to go to Cornell as football coach when Mr. Roosevelt, at the solicitation of Harvard alumni who claimed that they must not lose the advice of the man that broke up Penn's famed "guard's back" play, appointed him Assistant District Attorney for Boston. He had go d there as elsewhere, and is now slated for advancement. After all, a man can overcome almost any handicap if he has the stuff in him and is willing to work himself and not spend his ability in schemes for working others. The negro of today is by no means in the hopeless position that we sometimes hear him placed. The securing of Federal office may not be a perfect test, but it shows something. House rules and tariff beat the Republicans—and Cannon led them to defeat. But he says "he will tell how it happened, when he finds out the facts." Teddy won't talk. Now that Gov. Eberhart is elected we are assured of the continuance in office of the popular governor's messenger Hilly Williams—and all other colored employees at the capitol. But there are many unfortunate aspirants, who, the disappointed, are smiling through tears. Well, they still have another chance.—Be hopeful two years hence. Roosevelt has at last refused to talk and is shout in from the outside world. "A long farewell to all the greatness" Teddy. ST. MONICA'S MISSION. Another Roman Catholic Church in the West For Afro-Americans. Within the past decade the Roman: Catholic church in the United States has gained a large following among Afro-Americans. New impetus was given in this direction in the early spring of this year by Father John B. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among Afro-Americans throughout the country. It is Father Burke's aim to raise $100,000 annually until a sufficient number of suitable edifices shall have been erected for worship and for the education of those who are to study for the priesthood and subsequently become leaders in the work among Afro-Americans. There has been a Roman Catholic church for our people in St. Louis, Mo., for the past twenty-five years. Another was opened in a cottage in Kansas City, Mo., the latter part of October. It is stated that a new edifice will soon be erected in its stead at a cost of $30,000. Miss Katherine Drexel of Philadelphia recently gave $8,000 toward the sum necessary for the erection of the new building. This enabled Father Burke and those associated with him to begin the work in Kansas City sooner than was expected. In speaking of the possibilities of the movement, Father Burke says the Negro needs the Catholic church and it is our duty to convert and educate him. The church in Kansas City will be known for the time being as St. Monica's mission. THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION. Hon. George McAneny Glives Races Some Sound Advice. Speaking at the National Negro Business league in New York last August, Borough President George McAneny said: "For a long time past it has seemed to me that in addition to such beneficial organizations as this the colored people of the United States ought to have a strong national committee of their own. "Their white friends could direct their energies and their friends' energies toward the preservation of their liberties" and the righting of their wrongs, precisely as there have been steering committees for the Irish people and for the Poles of Prussia." BAR ASSOCIATION HONORS MEMORY OF EDWARD BROWN Richmond (Va.) Attorneys Show Respect For Law Library Assistant. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The actions of the bar of Richmond, Va., in calling a special meeting for the purpose of passing a set of resolutions in honor of Edward Brown, late janitor and assistant in the state law library, slow the high esteem in which he was held. The bar had held the position for over forty years. During that time he proved himself to be a man of worth, honesty and intelligence. It is related of him that he could put his hand on any book in the library at once when called for by any one of the many persons who made use of the library. The white people of Richmond who knew him showed him the very highest respect, and no favor which Mr. Brown desired of any of them would be withheld when asked for. When we consider that the bar association of Richmond is composed solely of white men it is easy to see the high honor conferred upon the deceased by southern white men of influence and high standing in the community. Mr. Brown was always courteous, obliging and respectful to those whom he served in the line of duty. He perhaps knew more public men of wealth and position than any other man of our race in the city of Richmond. Governors, educators, senators and representatives of the lower house were among his daily companions, as it were, while in the performance of their duty as state and city officials. In thus honoring the memory of one who faithfully performed his duty in life the lawyers at the Richmond bar reflect honor upon the community and at the same time prove themselves to be men of broad sympathies, possessing at the same time a high sense of duty and humanitarian virtues. True Reformers In Difficulty: According to information received from Washington. Nov. 2, the insurance officials of the District of Columbia have suspended the license of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, pending the restoration of its license by the state of Virginia. The association has been doing business in Washington for a number of years. It has seventy-eight lodges in the District, with 1,818 members, and, according to a statement filed with the Washington officials, owns property valued at $20,000. The Question of Citizenship The question of citizenship in the United States, like the question of slavery was, must sooner or later be forced to a successful and final conclusion, says N. Barnett Dodson. The infux of foreigners and their anxiety to become naturalized, hold office and help to dictate the policy of the government are problems which the United States cannot ignore. In the final analysis all citizens must have voice, right and protection guaranteed to them by the constitution. CAUSES CONCERN TO THE LEADERS Opposition to Administration in the Next Congress. Gerate Majority of the Republicans So Small That at Times They May Not Be Able to Control That Body. Problem Confronting President Taft a Serious One. Washington, Nov. 10.—Throughout the life of the sixty-second congress President Taft will be threatened by the opposition of both branches of the national legislature. This is clearly indicated in the returns of Tuesday's elections and is a matter of grave concern to administration leaders. In the new congress the house will be Democratic by, in all probability, a majority of approximately fifty. A gain of nine Democratic votes will, in all probability, be registered in the senate. The present Republican majority in the senate is twenty-six. The election of nine Democratic senators to take the places of Republicans reduces the Republican majority to eight. The indications are that the Democrats will elect one senator in each of the following states: New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Missouri, Nevada, West Virginia and Maine. The senate, there, in the new congress will stand fifty Republicans and forty-two Democrats. There is in the senate now and will be in the Sixty-second congress a group of militant progressives. Six of these progressives joining with the Democrats would reduce the regular Republican strength to forty-four and increase the Democratic progressive vote of forty-eight percent of the senate from the responsible publican leadership. Strayed From Fold Before. The Republicans who may be expected to join with the Democrats on occasions are: La Follette of Wisconsin, Cummins of Iowa, Bristow of Kansas, Clapp of Minnesota and possibly Borah of Idaho. These senators have strayed from, they party folded before, and Republican leaders have expect to see them do again. There are other Republican senators who, it is feared, may in connection with certain classes of legislation, join with the Democrats and take away control from the responsible Republican leadership. They are: Brown of Nebraska, Crawford of South Dakota and Nelson of Minnesota. The last named senator voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Years ago, as a member of the house, he left his party and voted for the Mills Democratic tariff bill. In addition, it is pointed out here that Miles Poindexter of Washington and Asa J. Gronna of North Dakota, who now represent their states in the house, are progressives of the most radical type. Judging from their past record, they are likely to join with the Democrats when their principles move them to do. While administration leaders are making no comment for publication on results, they admit privately that the Democratic house and a senate, which may at times be in control of a majority composed of Democrats and progressive Republicans, will doubtless make it impossible for the president to put through his legislative programme. They expect the wheels of legislation to be blocked with the Democrats devoting most of their time to investigations of the present and former administrations, with a view of making political capital for use in the national campaign of 1912. ELECTION AND ITS LESSONS Discussed at a Cabinet Meeting in Washington. Washington, Nov. 10.—The election permits lessons and the pressing forward of the administration's legislative programme to get it out of the way before the accession of Democratic control in congress next year was among the subjects discussed at a cabinet meeting. Featuring the administrative measure will be the plan for meeting second class mail abuses by requiring magazines—not newspapers—to pay increased postage on their advertising pages sufficient to eliminate postal defaults and warrant establishment of a cent postage on first class mail in the future. This is Postmaster General Hitchcock's project. It was pointed out, among other things, that in the East the most real harm to the Republican party was accomplished, much of the outcome in the West having been discounted in the primaries. Some comfort was found in the relative smallness of the Democratic pluralities as compared with the figures rolled up in the past when Democratic primacy was attained. President Taft realizes the necessity for getting through all needed administration legislation in the three months' session beginning next month. The New Negro Political Movement is our Declaration of Independence, Atlantic City our Cradle of Liberty and Aug. 6th, 1910 our Independence Day. Mayor Haynes just won, and Satterlee just lost, also Van Lear has shown to both parties that the Socialists are the "contending forces." Congressman Nye returns to Congress—but those "speeches on rules" stay at home. DR. NORTHWEST OF MINNEAPOLIS Elected Pres. of the Am. Missionary Association. Boston, Mass.—A resolution to petition Congress through President Taft to stop the liquor traffic was introduced today at the session of the American Missionary Association of the Congregational Council in Tremont Temple. Liberal education for the negro was set forth by President Frank G. Woodworth of Mississippi. The demands of the Indian on the American frontier were urged by Rev. Dr. Hull of South Dakota. The work in Porto Rico was described by Rev. John Edwards and that of Hawaii by Rev. Doremus Scudder. The American Missionary Association reported its receipts for three years as $1,889,348. Plea for the Negro. "The negro should have an equal opportunity with the white man" said president Woodworth "and liberal education should be opened to him. We have in our land in the south ten million of negroes. They should be so educated that they become trained men and why should there be less training for them than for the white man." "The negro should become better producers, and where there is this larger culture, they will respond. It is not true that the negro with white blood succeeds better than the full blooded one. I deny this. If you give him the opportunity, we enjoy, he will succeed, for he is a man." The Moderator, Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, made an address, to a very large audience, upon the "Nations Debt to the American Missionary Association." "There's the ministry of character" said he "and one nation is greatly indebted to it. There's character working through hope, through faith, and through love, all brought about by the American Missionary Association and its many missionaries." Singing was promised during this session by Jubilee singers from Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn. Keep Down High Handed Injunction. The fight which the colored citizens of Maryland are making against the disfranchising scheme of the Democratic party in the state is admirable. Let the voters of West Virginia do their best also to beat back and keep down high handed injustice of the same kind. The New Editor of the New York Age. We are informed that Mr. R. C. Simmons is now editor of the New York Age, says the New Rochelle (N. Y.) League Journal. He 'pears to be proachlin' the throne and gettin' nearer to the king. Well, the king's relatives ought to eat from the king's table. This nephew is worthy. Lay on McDuff! Lynching Has Become Widespread. It is encouraging to note that in some sections of the United States attention is being given by those in authority to the inroads which the high crime of lynching is making upon innocent citizens. Time was when this crime was almost entirely confined to the south, but not so now. It has become general. Unjust discrimination. A Boston judge fined a bartender $100, for refusing to serve a colored woman, who was in company of a white couple in a cafe. He held that it was a case of unjust discrimination. Wentworth of Boston and Finehout of St. Paul will fine anybody-anwhere anytime, if you're in wrong. That's A MAJORITY OF ONE. That great American statesman Charles Sumner, gave birth to that axiomatic statement that one man in the right, will become a majority, and when he was dying he "held the hand of a Negro, Prof. Downing, and said "Don't let the Civil Rights Bill fall."
