MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL NEW REGIME FOR ODD FELLOWS Grand Master Edward H. Morris Formally Inducted Info Office. FEATURES OF THE OCCASION Philadelphia.—With elaborate ceremonies and in the presence of a distinguished gathering, officers for the next two years of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were installed week ending Jan. 14. The newly installed officers were elected at the session of the fifteenth biennial movable committee, held in Baltimore last September. Among the features of the inaugural ceremonies were the valedictory address of the retiring grand master, William L. Houston, and the inaugural address of his successor, Edward H. Morris, a successful lawyer of Chicago. Mr. Morris served as grand master some years ago. He was born in Kentucky about fifty years ago and has resided in Chicago since his boyhood. JAMES P. NEEDHAM. He has been a member of the Illinois bar for about thirty years and is regarded as one of the most successful colored lawyers in the country. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is the second oldest colored fraternal order in the country, the Masons antedating it by a few years. It is a branch of the English order and was founded by Peter Ogden in 1843. Beginning with Philomathean lodge, in New York city, a lodge was next established in Philadelphia, and by 1858 the order had fifteen lodges. The order has now over 11,000 branches with a membership of nearly 430,000. Its wealth mounts up into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the headquarters of the order are located in a handsome five story marble home at Twelfth and Spruce streets, this city. The newly installed officers are: Edward H. Morris, Chicago, grand master; Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, deputy grand master; James F. Needham, Philadelphia, grand secretary; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore, grand treasurer; Henry P. Slaughter, Washington, editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal, the official organ of the order; C. A. Howse, Alabama; C. A. Sheely, Florida; J. S. Noel, West Virginia; George W. Hayes, Ohio; W. D. Brown, New York, grand directors. They will compose what is known as the subcommittee of management, which is the sovereign power while the grand lodge is not in session. The retiring officers were: William L. Houston, grand master; L. N. Porter, Arkansas, deputy grand master; Julius C. Johnson, Baltimore; A. T. Shirley, Herudon, Va.; W. W. Lawrence, North Carolina; T. P. Woodland, New Orleans; George H. Mays, Jacksonville, Fla., grand directors; M. C. Brown, Denton, Tex.; Charles E. Mitchell, Institute, W. Va.; W. David Brown, New York, grand auditors, and B. J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Independent, grand treasurer. John C. Asbury, who had been editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal since its inception, was succeeded early in November by Henry P. Slaughter after he had resigned following charges of alleged neglect of duty. It is the prevailing opinion that Mr. Slaughter is making good as editor and manager. The retiring grand master has filled the position for the past four years and has hosts of friends the country over. He is associated with Mr. Morris in the practice of law. Mr. Needham has been grand secretary of the order for a number of years, and his efficiency and the ability with which he has discharged the exacting duties of his office have made him many stanch friends all over the fective Page VOL.

MAUPINS, ON EAST FOURTH STREET, IS An unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the residence of W. F. Maupins, a negro, 524 East Fourth St. Monday morning by a bandit who slugged and tied Mrs. Maupins when she remonstrated with the intruder. Mrs. Maupins was found tightly bound and gagged lying on the kitchen floor by her husband when he returned to the house about 11:15 a.m. for his dinner. Maupins is employed as elevator man at the Ingalls block, 105-107 West Superior street. The husband, after releasing his wife notified Chief Troyer at the police station, who has had detectives working on the case, but as yet no arrests have been made. The Maupins occupy four rooms in the rear of the house, the front being occupied by George Carr and family. According to Mrs. Maupins' story, she was working in the kitchen preparing the noonday meal when she heard a noise in the bed room. She opened the door and perceived a man, smooth face and of rather powerful build, with a black slouch hat pulled down over his eyes, ransacking the dresser drawers. "What are you doing here?" demanded Mrs. Maupins. With that, she says, the burglar approached her, leveling a revolver at her head and struck her over the head with a black jack, knocking her down. He then dragged her into the kitchen and tightly bound her hands and feet with stout rags, stuffing another into her mouth. She says that she also noticed that the man had a big bundle lying on the floor of the bed Mr. Wm. Miller and wife are confined to their beds again. Their friends gave a pound social for them, Monday evening, Jan. 9th, which was a good success.

This is the state of affairs, and the condition will grow worse unless there is some effort made to stop this wave of crime. We are ashamed to say that there is "nothing doing" so far as humane societies or missionary workers in these parts, and that when a man commits a crime he has no consideration from that class, who are in a position to elevate him.

Rosenwald and Harris Each Donate $25,000 Toward Movement to Erect and Equip Building For Young Men's Christian Association In Chicago—Plan and Scope Outlined. Chicago—Widespread interest is being manifested in Young Men's Christian association circles throughout the country over the recent announcement of gifts amounting to $25,000 each from Messrs. Julius Rosenwald and N. W. Harris toward the fund which has already been started for the erection of a suitable building for Y. M. C. A. work among Afro-Americans in this city. The announcement of the gifts was made at a meeting in Old Fellows hall, on State street, at which a stereopticon address on "The Worldwide Work of the Young Men's Christian Association" was delivered by L. Wilbur Messer, general secretary of the Chicago association. At the close of this address Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Harris announced their proposals. It was particularly appropriate, Mr. Rosenwald pointed out in announcing his gift, that in a movement of this kind one of the leaders should be a Jew. A race which has suffered centuries of persecution, he said, should show practical sympathy for a people but recently released from actual slavery and now trampled on every side by race prejudice and actual if not nominal social ostracism. In making the gifts through the K. M. C. A. the two men said they had distinct purposes in view. They feel that the Y. M. C. A. is the organization best fitted to fight the evils that exist among the colored people themselves, for the Y. M. C. A. not only provides its members with healthy sports and amusements, but affords them opportunities for moral and religious advancement. Although the two offers are equal in their amounts, they differ to some extent as to their terms, and that of Mr. Rosenwald is not confined to Chicago, but is extended to every city of the United States where Negroes evince enough race spirit to raise a part of the sum necessary to erect a building. His offer to Chicago is of $25,000 on condition that $75,000 more is raised by popular subscription. This same offer holds good to every other city in America. The time set for raising the $75,000 by Mr. Rosenwald is five years. Mr. Harris' offer is of $25,000 for a Chicago building, provided that $125,000 is raised within six months. Taking these two offers together, the local Y. M. C. A. has decided to attempt to raise $150,000. Fifty thousand dollars of this will come from Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Harris, $50,000 will be raised among the Negroes of Chicago, and the remalder will be sought from the general public. In addressing the meeting, at which were present upward of 500 representative Afro-Americans, Mr. Rosenwald said: This, as you know, is the season which is proclaimed to be the season of peace on earth and good will to men. It sounds fine, and I do not believe there could be a better ideal to work to than that one, but I am afraid up to this time it has been only an ideal. You probably imagine that the colored people in only people who don't get the rights, but if it is any consolation to you I want to say to you that there are white people who suffer a great deal more. The Jewish race, which dates back thousands of years and, like yours, dates back to a time when they were known to be in slavery, has been persecuted and legislated against in all countries of the world since the beginning of time. Jews are persecuted in a way that you would not believe. It is not a question of color, but of religion. And when these people have suffered for thousands of years you ought not to feel very badly at the progress you have made in the last thirty or forty years. You have got a great deal more to hope for than the Jews of the world have had since the time they were in slavery. You would probably be surprised to know that there are clubs in Chicago, representing what you might call the best type of citizenship, that do not admit to a great deal more than those they are called a club of university men. I do not want you to feel I have an ax to grind because I couldn't get in. Even if they admitted Jews I am not a university man. I am not at all hurt by the stand you take. Personally I have no quarrel with many of the institutions. I believe that the Jew has a good chance in this country and that if he behaves himself properly he will some day come into his own.

POSTAL SAVINGS” BANKS ASSURED Wow Pan Wi Eneoragy Lass Fatuate to Save Noe CONVENIENCE OF THE SYSTEM Postmaster General. -Hitehcock Be- lieves That the Opportunity to De- posit Small Sums Will Mest a Hearty Response From the Masses—Deposi- tora Guaranteed Against Loss. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—Students of nancial and economic conditions predict that the postal saving banks which will soon be Inaugurated in the postoffices throughout the United States will prove a greater blessing, proportionate- ly speaking, to the colored people than to any other class of people in the United States, This prediction is based upon the fact that the economic status of the masses of the colored people makes them peculiarly the beneficiaries of the opportunities for thrift and econ- omy afforded by these banks. Postmaster General Hitchcock is confident that through these banks the habit of saving will be cultivated more than ever among ‘the colored people Just as well as it will be among other classes of people for whom the opera- tlon of these banks will mean so much. He 1s arxious that the colored people take advantage of the financial oppor- tunities which will come with this new opportunity. ‘Under the plan devised by the post- master general and his assistants, in compliance with the law, savings can be begun in sums as small as 10 cents and formal accounts can be opened in sums as small as $1. This small amount feature will prove popular to the masses of our people, for many of them are not able to make large de- posits, but will gladly lay aside the small amounts that they can spare from thelr living expenses, Any person, from the little boy or girl of ten to the man or woman weighted down with many years, can have an account in one of these postal savings banks, and, what is most im- portant, Uncle Sam absolutely guar- antees the depositors against loss. If the person wishing to oyen a de- posit has a dollar or more he simply goes to the postofiice, turns his money over to the postmaster and receives fir Het theteot # certificate of depostt for the amount deposited. The de- Positor draws interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum. He also has the right to draw out a part or all of his money whenever he pleases. If, however, you have not as much as a dollar to open a formal account you can for 10 cents purchase from the postmaster a postal savings card, which will have a ten cent postal sav- ing stamp in {ts center. Then from time to tlme the owner of the card can purchase other ten cent postal sav- ings stamps, which have mucillage on one side like ordinary postage stamps, and stick them on the white card. ‘When the owner of the card has stuck ten of these stamps on his or her card tt 1s then turned into the postmaster, who will give in return & certificate of deposit for $1. Other additions to your account can be made in the same way. As aforesaid, the depositors draw 2 per cent interest on thelr money, have the right to with- Graw the money out of the bank at will and are guaranteed against loss by the United States, After having saved up $20 the de- positor, if he or she desires, can ex- change his deposit for a United States bond, ‘This can be done by surren- dering your deposit, and you will re- cetve in Neu thereof a United States bond. These bonds bear 2% per cent interest per annum. Postal. savings banks have been In operation for years:tn some countries, and the experience of those cow tries is that they have proved a veritable blessing to the poor. Postmaster Gen- eral Hitchcock, under whose super- vision the inauguration and operation of these banks will come, hopes to begin to establish them the first week in January. 3S Gradually they are to be established in nearly every postofiice, big and lit- tle, in this country. Thus they will be put within easy reach of all the people. The old bugaboo of bank fall- ures will be completely ellminated, for the government of this country se cures the depositors. ‘When President Taft recommended this measure to congress he knew full well that he was recommending a measure that would be most helpful to the poor people. In a few years the wisdom of this measure will be clearly seen and its benefits will be plainly evident among the people. Col- ored men and women will be owning and drawing Interest on government bonds, and our boys and girls will be Se eee at ee ee eee ‘Operetta In Aid of Day Nursery.

Good Form i 2 If you are a boor among your ac- quaintances they can severely leave you alone; you can give the cold shoulder to the cad in the office or the ‘works: you can escape the fool in the morning train; you can have a prior engagement if your pet aversion asks you to supper. But your home people ‘are under the inexorable necessity of living with you. A man sometimes gets into the habit of thinking that anything will do for his home people. He treats them as daily bread; he does not ex- ert himself; he reserves his best for outsiders. He says he likes to be homely at home; that is very well so long as It ‘does not ‘mean being vulgar. He says he Ikes to be at ease in his home; very well, too, if it does not mean being thoughtless, Famillarity breeds contempt. It ts not easy to be constantly patient and profitable and pleasant to those whom you meet every morning at breakfast. ‘The breakfast table ts often the great- est disillusioner. More secrets of char- acter are revealed over the bacon and ‘eggs than over the dessert. ‘There is no severer discipline in the world than that of the home, and most of us go down under it in this matter of courtesy. Don't let us put off our manners wherf we put on our slippers. Let us be the more considerate when it is only ‘our own whom we have to consider. And just because our home life is pri- vate and 1s screened off from public judgment and is sheltered from the re- straint of publle opinion let us be the more scrupulous that we may be vold of the offense against the heart of love. "Behind many closed doors and drawn blinds there Me grim tragedies, and ‘many of them may be traced to seem- ingly trivial slackness in the courte- sies of love. | This 1s the rift that has made the music mute. Take care of the courte- sles and the grand passions will take care of themselves,. _ ‘The Desirable Guest. The person who can talk entertain- ingly is the best type of guest at s0- cial gatherings, for she who chatters incessantly 1s almost more undesirable than one who Is too quiet, for the lat- ter gives opportunity for other persons to express themselves, while with the former to say even one word is often a struggle. ‘The balance between these extremes 1s the art of stimulating a temporary companion to conversation, and at 10 place is {t more important to adopt the correct attitude than at a dinner. More than one man has been obliged to talk so much when sitting beside a quiet woman that he has not eaten enough. Such conduct on the part of a woman Is decidedly inconsiderate. At dinners and also at formal lunch- eons it fs a good idea to watch the plates of neighbors, and if one person has been talking so much as to have fallen behind in the course it 1s tact- fal to take conversation into one’s own hands, giving the other a chance to Usten and at the same time to eat. It is not good form to monopolize the attention of one neighbor to such ‘an extent as to prevent him or her from talking with the person on the other side, Often it is a temptation when on one side is an attractive per- son and on the other one who 1s dull, Dut politeness makes dividing the at- tention necessary, If one person is kept constantly in conversation by one neighbor at a din- ner it means that he or she on the oth- er side sits much of the tlme with no one to talk to, for the guest farther on {s certainly giving some time to the person on his or her other side. Wedding Reception Before Ceremony. ‘The wedding reception should pre- cede the marriage ceremony. This is the newest suggestion from London. Instead of the “at home” that usual- ly follows the society church wed- dings, a reception that fs similar tn every respect practically to the old time function sbould be held on the day before the wedding. The parents receive the guests while the bride to be and the bridegroom elect stand togeth- er to receive the fellcitations of their friends, All the wodding presents are on view, and everything {s the same as in the “at homes" except that the cou- ple are not married. ‘The reason for this new arrangement fs that {t saves the crush at the bride’s home follow Ing the church wedding. It 1s more comfortable for the couple and their Parents to have a quiet hour while preparations for the wedding tour are being made. Such an arrangement also gives the bride and bridegroom an op- portunity to slip away quletly. Grammatical Points. Many people make mistakes in the use of “lay” and “lle.” It 1s correct to say “I am going to le down.” “I am going to lay down” fs not grammatical. One may inquire, “Lay what down?” “Shall” and “will” are also often in- correctly used. Learn to say, “T shall, we shall, you will, he will and they will.” ‘This rule guards the switch where most people get off the track. “WIN" tn the first person must always have a touch of volition, and “shall” in the second person gives emphasix to authority. But courtesy demands that both authority and velf assertion be avoided whenever ceediess. _ % TWIN CIETY STAR STYLES OF 1911.

The queen bnd received many requests for pletures of herself and her baby boy, and it Gually occurred to her that she could satisfy the demand and make something for charity by having the pictures published.

Even if you can't try to ‘overcome’ the ‘falling for the ‘sake of your own health and peace of mind try to do so for the sake of the man you will certainly render wretched one of these days. It {s sald that no woman has a proper sense of proportion. The fussy woman certainly hasn't. On ber horizon trifes loom like battleships. She never recognizes what really mat- ters and what is unimportant. As a worker the fussy woman Is always a failure. She neither gets through as much work nor allows others to do so. Like a high stepping horse, she {s all action, yet makes but little progress. Nevertheless fussiness will age her be- fore her time. Mra. Taft’s Dream Came True.

A new hat designed especially for the woman who has retained all the instincts of her savage ancestors is a helmet shape covered with tailless ermine and bordered with royal blue velvet. The decorations consist of two rosettes, each of which is made of brave humming binds laid fat, with ‘bills meeting in the center, i hour. Rinse them very thoroughly and then set them over the fire in fresh cold water. When they come almost to the boiling point and begin to show scum on the surface pour off the water ‘and add fresh cold water. A better way, if one has time, is to remove the kddneys, put them in a new pot or lay them aside a moment until the pot they were cooked in has been thoroughly washed out. Then put them back. In order to get the strong favor out of this meat it is necessary to remove as much scum and blood from it as pos- sible. Let them rebeat in water a sec- ‘ond time. Then pour off this second water and treat as before. It may be necessary to do it a third and a fourth time also. When the stage 1s reached in which the water is quite clear and free from scum cut up one or two ‘onfons—a good sized one for every kid- ney—one or two small carrots and one or two potatoes. Put them Into the water around the meat and cook slow: ly for about two hours or until a gravy ts formed. Some cooks add a Uttle lemon Juice or part of the yellow Deel of a lemon to the stew. The car- rots and onfons may be left out and the kidneys stewed by themselves, the gravy being flavored only with a tiny glass of wine and lemon juice. ‘Two cupfuls of sugar, two cupfuls of flour, one cupful of butter, one large cupful of English walnuts, one cupful of potatoes, mashed and sea: soned, ready to serve; one and one half cupfuls of chocolate, grated; one half cupful of milk, fve eggs, using all the yolks and ‘whites of three, keeping two whites for bolled frost. ing; two teaspoonfuls of baking pow- der, one each of cloves, cinnamon, all- spice and nutmeg, one each of lemon and vantila, Bake elther in loaf or layers, Cream butter and sugar. Add milk, then yolks of eggs, beaten high; then potatoes, soft spices, chocolate and baking powder in flour, and add to eggs and butter. Then add beaten whites and lastly the nuts. Will keep fresh for a week or ten days. For split pea soup, so good in this cold weather, soak a quart of split pea overnight In the morning put them on the stove in pletity of fresh cold water, about four times as much water as peas. Add a large piece of salt pork, half a good sized carrot, a good sized leek, two potatoes of medium size, one root of parsley, one teaspoon- ful of thyme, one large turnip, a bunch of celery tips, a large slice of bread and salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup boll all day, adding frest water as It boils down. Strain before serving. A Fine Sauce. Apples and cranberries aro very good cooked together, about half and half. Let a quart of the mixture cook with about a cupful of water or just enough to prevent burning. At the end of twenty minutes add two cup fuls of granulated sugar and let the mixture cook for about ten minutes more. Turn into molds and serve when cold. ‘The apples seem to mel low the berries, and the sauce will be preferred to one entirely of berries by those who do not like the sharpness of the latter when cooked alone. For the Virginia wafers that are served with afternoon tea and other ght repasts work a couple of table: spoonfuls of butter into two cupfuls of four and mix in enough ice water to make a stiff paste. Then put the dough on to a floured board and roll into a very thin sheet—1t should be little thicker than paper—and cut in rounds with a saucer. Bake in a quick oven on a floured pan. ‘The wafers should have an uneven, bubbly surface and be eaten cold. They are delicious with @ conserve or jam. White raisin bread made into sand- wiches with minced nuts and cream cheese is delicious. Cut the slices very thin and spread one with cream cheese and the other with the nuts. Both should be buttered first. If they are cut in the shape of card suits for after- noon refreshments at card clubs and parties they are very sightly.

For the Children Little Pu Yi, Baby f Emperor of China. eS eae While Pu Yi is the emperor of Cht- na, he does not rule over that great nation yet. He is too young for that. Some day, tf he lives to grow up, he will sit on the throne. At present his father, Prince Chun, is the real ruler, acting for bis son. Prince Ohun is the brother of the late emperor, who dled a couple of years ago. Pu Yi was born in February, 1906, ‘and Is therefore nearly five years old. When he becomes emperor he will be able to exercise but a small part of the autocratic power by which his predecessor ruled. China is advancing ‘and has already decided to have a con- stituttonal government. 80 Pu Yi must relgn according to the written law and not as the emperor would decree under the old system, ‘Viieatinn Achar, Cut from red kindergarten paper as many hearts as there are people.

General Representative "Head of Lakes", Duluth, Minn. CHARLES SUMNER. January 6th was the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. At sunrise the people gathered at his grave, and at noonday and through the afternoon and on until almost midnight the meetings continued to do homage to his name. How many men now in public office will be thus remembered and honored long years after they are gone? No one can answer that question, but themselves. Sumner said: "The only basis for fame is service." Never did the country need Summers more than now. But "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it."—The Dally News. SEGREGATION. Rev. Dr. Earnest Lyon evidently knows much about segregation. He knows that he and a bunch of ministerial grafters segregated the political purse and opinion of the Negroes of New York City and dispensed it from his pulpit, and was effectual in relegating some real valuable material of the Republican Party. Yet he says that if white churches would admit Negroes to membership with equal privileges, very few colored pastors could be maintained in colored pulpits." Would he be one of those pastors who could be maintained? Segregation is natural in any people, but it is a matter of choice. Quarters, districts and sections have been held apart by people themselves. It is a natural condition. "Birds of a feather flock together. We do not admit the right of forced conditions without the consent of the governed. But these threatened enforcements should awaken the Negro, and cause him to realize the opportunities that are in his reach, and grasp them, by learning how to do something and accumulate something. Begin at the bottom. OUR OBJECT. We desire to state again that the object of the Alabamian is to publish the news and help in the work of education and protection of the Negro people. Those who write up long accounts of their lives and their social standing, etc., (or get their friends to do so), and expect a great newspaper spread, must expect to pay for the space at regular advertising rates. Going around in this community misrepresenting the truth does not change this rule. Negroes who feel it a disgrace to have their names on the subscription roll (as a paid subscriber) of Negro papers, should ask white editors to publish their social news and give them big write ups, or pay for it in Negro papers.—Colored Alabamian. If it's in the Star, it's right. Do not let it be said that your word is as good as your bond and thats' worth nothing at all. Make you word good and see how your bond will improve in value. Doing right because it is right is not good policy if that is as far as your reasons go. You should do right because you want to be right and because it is according to Divine intention and is not merely the result of human mental conclusions. There are a lot of people who "do right because it is right" that are simply afraid to do wrongs they want to do. —The Jefferson Reflector. THE CÓLONIAL GUARDIAN. New Publication In the Interest of Interracial Union. The Hinds Publishing company is announcing its new publication, the Colonial Guardian, which is to be issued monthly, beginning with the January number, says in consequence of the growing connection between the members of the colored race at home and abroad the object of the Colonial Guardian is to voice the sentiments of such a connection, as there is no such publication extant for that purpose. The new periodical will deal largely with the progress and development of the colored people in the United States and those in the West Indies, defending also the interests of colored persons throughout the world. Both colored Americans and West Indians will contribute to its pages. E. St. Clair Hinds, editor and proprietor of the paper, is a practical printer by trade, having had considerable experience in the business before coming to the United States. AFRO-AMERICAN VOTERS. Important Part Which They Are Taking In Political Affairs. In the fight for honest elections that is now being waged by the different political organizations it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There was a time when, no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp of "G. O. P.", he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargain. But that is all changed, and now to obtain the assistance, whether small or great, of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty, capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or faction. Has Taft Deserted William H. Lewis? Since it seems a certainty that President Taft is not going to appoint the Hon. William H. Lewis as an assistant United States attorney general, as was announced previous to the election last November, there are other positions of trust and honor to which the president might assign Mr. Lewis. Some consideration is due Mr. Lewis for the embarrassing position in which the administration has left him. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR MEMORIAL SANITARIUM. Movement to Establish Such in Chicago Meeting With Faver. The monument to establish a hospital in Chicago, to be known as the Paul Laurence Dunbar Memorial sanitarium, is meeting with encouraging support. The institution is to be a place for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis among our people. It is believed that if the disease can be taken hold of at its beginning and proper treatment secured it can be routed out. At a meeting recently held in Bethel A. M. E. church the following well known and influential citizens were among the speakers, with the Hon. Richard T. Greener as the presiding officer: Dr. W. A. Evans, health commissioner; David Paulson, superintendent of the Hinsdale sanitarium, and the Rev. Dr. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel church. One of the most helpful features about the whole movement is that it has the support of a large number of some of the leading white citizens of Chicago, who are deeply interested in the effort of members of our race to put in operation such an institution. The public generally is also interested to a large degree, as was manifested at the recent public meeting. On the board of directors are Dr. Anna R. Cooper, president; Mrs. L. Waller, secretary; Mrs. F. Turner, treasurer, and Dr. D. Roberts. Chicago has a large Afro-American population upon which to draw for means to carry out such a worthy project, and it is believed that the promoters will be eminently successful in securing sufficient funds with which to accomplish their aim. Experiences of John Mitchell, Jr. Colors in persons of the south vary one can't tell who is who nor which is which, observes the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A few days ago our noted banker and editor, John Mitchell, Jr., went to Texas. He crossed the line and was honored by the Mexicans, but soon as he stepped back on American soil and assumed the role of a man he was asked, "Are you a foreigner or American born?" "American born," was his reply. "Then take a nigger's place." Had he been a foreign Negro he could have done as he pleased. The Way to Purify American Politics. The Southwestern Christian Advocate says American politics stand a chance of being purified and the political bosses displaced just in proportion as the American voter becomes independent and will not be delivered by the dictation of any political machine or party. Riding Leaves $30,000 to Tuskegee. If Tuskegee institute gets the estate of the late Henry Riding of Sioux City, Ia., which is said to be valued at $30,000, it will no doubt be the largest sum which the school has ever received from an individual member of the race. TWIN CITY, STAR GREAT SUMNER CELEBRATION ORATION BY DR. W. E. B. DU BOIS Meeting House of the Ethical Culture Society In New York the Scene of Many Distinguished Persons Gathered to Commemorate Hundredth Anniversary of a Noble American. By N. BARNETT DODSON. By N. BARNET DOSSON. The speakers at the Charles Sumner celebration held in the meeting house of the Society For Ethical Culture in New York under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People were Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard, Hon. Moorefield Story, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Dr. W. E. B.-Du Bois. Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott presided. Dr. Du Bois, whose subject was "Charles Sumner and Peace," spoke in part as follows: My thesis tonight is simple. From the life of Charles Sumner and from his teaching I wish to emphasize the truth of these statements: To many minds it must seem almost accidental that Charles Sumner was at once the advocate of world peace and of the abolition of human slavery, and yet the connection between the two is perhaps more evident today than it was in his time, for it cannot be disputed that the present state of the world contains certain races of men is not only an irresistible invitation to private lawlessness and public vengeance, but it lies behind nineteenth of that international anarchy which we call war. It would be possible to imagine that from the humanitarian ideal of the freedom of a particular race to the larger ideal of human peace for all the world, but this historically was not the method of his mental development. On the contrary, it was from an early and firm conviction of the horror of war and the practicability of peace that Mr. Sumner by natural, even if not fully conscious, logic came to apply the larger principle to the social war of man or man which we call slavery. Charles Sumner began his public life by what he himself aptly called a declaration of war on war. His first great speech by which the world learned to listen to him was a declaration against war ever made, an argument which it will not be out of place to sketch here again in swift outline. It was done in 185 on July 4, the birthday of the nation, and it opened with the voice of the fathers: "Cease to vaunt what you do and what has been done for you. Learn to walk meekly and to think humbly. Cultivate habits of self sacrifice. Never alm at what is not right, persuaded that without this every possession and all knowledge of the world will be all awake. And may these words of ours be ever in your minds! Strive to increase the inheritance we have bequeathed to you, bearing in mind always that if we excel you in virtue such a victory will be to us. We must be happy and happy. In this way you may conquer us. Nothing is more shameful for a man than a claim to esteem not on his own merits, but on the fame of his ancestors. The glory of the fathers is doubtless to their children a most precious treasure, and to their children a most precious treasure, the next generation and without addition is the extreme of ignominy." With this beginning Summer asked: "What is national honor and glory? Is it the rape of Mexico or the browbeating of England? Can there be," he, cried, "in any war that is not dishonorable? To be sure, we bewilder the imagination of the child with the glamour of war, but war is simply a habit, a custom, a trial by combat as illogical as any that ever disgraced the childish middle age of the world." Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Summer lived to teach us that after thousands of years of the debauchery of blood and iron world peace is not coming at the waving of a well gloved hand. It is going to cost something to realize a world peace, and it is going to cost you something. The reason is clear. Peace comes only by submission of will to will. Now, submission may be brought about in many ways—by persuasion, by reasoning or by knocking your opponent on the head with a club—and the picture of world peace that floats before many a diettent's eyes will be the same. We must mit meekly and quickly to their own ideas without the cost of war. Consider, for instance, as Charles Sumner was willing to consider, the plight of the black man in the United States. Are we by slavery and caste going to force them to be slaves? Are we doing anything we wish them and then call that peace? Are they human beings to be reasoned with and taught and persuaded or are they to keep the attitude of the conquered and the enslaved? In other words, is it worth while to bother with the opinions of others? But if to you, as to him, the vision of peace on earth is so vast and starry a thing that the very air of its overhanging heavens means good will toward men, the disposition to listen to the wants and desires and ambitions of men not because they are men, but because they are men, begotten of the same father and heirs to the same wide world—unless in this way and in this spirit you can dare on earth the democracy of all races and classes and seek to rule, if rule you may, by reason and persuasion and not by the power of advocates of peace, but fomenters of blood and war and misery. Amey yet has not the event proved the absolutely impregnable position of Charles Sumner in the matter of human freedom and rights? The same spirit that condemned black men in 1850 to perpetual slavery was the spirit that forced the Russo-Japanese war, that is making China an armed camp and that is saying to every black poets on behalf of the black poets on he recognized as a man he has got to fight. In the memory, then, of this good man, who hated war and slavery with perfect hatred and in so doing did well even though it cost him health and social peace and even life itself—in his memory may not we who believe in peace fight education the race prejudice which is the cause of war?
