DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. fective Page Young Lawyer Triumphs A Judicial and Official Rating. Wm H. H. Franklin, Esq., on Monday last, threw down the gauntlet, in open court, and successfully demonstrated his right to rank with the foremost leaders of the Bar of Hennepin County, Minnesota, (and at the same time,) triumphed ever and conquered the concit, enviousness and spleen of his contended adversaries. Franklin says: "Belleve me, brother; it requires something more than a brazen countenance, conceit and spleen to constitute a real lawyer; Brains are essential requisities, among other things. A glib tongue, (solemnly) doing forth asinity, solely, is of little avail. In other words, the days of Nonsensical Bombast are on the wane, if not already gone, and it behooves us to wake up, and to take notice of these signs of the times. Probably, these signs have not, as yet, penetrated the Southland; but they are here for our notice. Brains must W. H. H. FRANKLIN. be mixed, at least, with "Gab!" The Court decided that the case brought by Franklin against S. Sam King, for legal advice given by Franklin to King, that the former was entitled to Seventy-five Dollars as fees; Kings attorney had contended that the services, rendered by Franklin were of the value of five dollars, only. Franklin says: "Probably this is a sufficient sum to pay for any services that B. S. Smith may be able to render; but, I have never considered him as being in my class. I have always classified myself as a lawyer, and I am grateful to my God that my class-mates, professors and friends have always seriously considered me as such; and now that the Court has also rated me among the leading lights of this Bar, I am thoroughly satisfied." Wm. R. Morris, Esq., who has practiced at this Bar for twenty-one years; Ex-Alderman Chas. B. Holmes, a practitioner of twenty-eight years service at the Bar of this county, and Harry S. Mead, Esq., (twenty years at practice) each of whom were called and testified as to the ability of Mr. Franklin and the difficulty and technicality of the problem presented by King, against the Insurance Company, and which was successfully solved by Franklin, to the astonishment of all; and as to his remarkable research and persistence, in running down precedents. He is ranked as one of the leading and best brief-makers that the University of Minnesota has ever sent forth. Even in his school days, he enjoyed the reputation of being the very best brief-maker and consulting attorney in his class; being often called upon to brief up and advise on the most court cases brought by his class-mates. Several times, cases were lost by his companions, in the lower courts of the University; then Franklin stepped in, lined up the law, secured a new trial, or appealed, and won. Franklin says that he is under the impression that King's attorney, because of his total inability to grasp the complexity and technicality of the legal proposition presented to him (Franklin) by King, was precluded from the possibility of forming a true estimate of the amount of work involved, or the highly mental strain to which he (Franklin) was subjected during his contention with the insurance company, whom he finally made to disgorge. King had a life insurance policy for $500.00, which, on the death of the insured, the company refused to pay, on the ground that the premiums were far in arrears; that the policy had lapsed. When Franklin briefed up the law on the subject, and presented the case to the company, they settled with King, who in turn, refused to pay Franklin the fee demanded by him. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, to save itself with, and to keep itself in the good graces of the public, came to the rescue of King, in the person of Sup't Carlson, one of the most evasive and stubborn of witnesses ever before a court, and testified that they had never refused payment of the policy, though they admitted that King had retained Franklin, that the premiums were in arrears, and that King was not entitled to grace, according to the contract of insurance, until the insurance had been in force one whole year. The circumstantial evidence and Franklin's word were called into play to counteract this collusion, and he won. B. S. Smith appeared for S. Sam King. The testimony of the leaders of the Hennepin County Bar, and the judgment of the court, give, or, rather fix the status of Mr. Franklin as a lawyer; as one of the ablest and best. FOR SWEET CHARITY.

Temple, Pres. of the Afro-American Womens' Charity club has secured the services of the Wither's Dramatic Club, who will repeat their popular success, "A Woman's Honor."

New York, Jan. 25.—Because fashionably dressed white women rubbed elbows with Negroes, Japanese and Chinese and applauded speeches advocating the Inter-marriage of all races at a dinner given Tuesday night, the newly organized Cosmopolitan Society of America is being severely criticised today. Josefus Lipes, who acted as toastmaster, explained the objects of the organization. "It will nurture a fraternity of all peoples," he said. "Incidents of birth or station in life will be ignored and a common brotherhood worked out." It was said the new organization started out with a membership of nearly 1,000. ODD FELLOWS IN BATTLE. In an effort to secure 50 new members Mars Lodge No. 2202, G. U. O. O. F. of St. Paul has reduced its initiation fee to 6 dollars, for a limited period. Two active committees have engaged in the work, representing two armies, viz: The Reds and the Blues. Much rivalry exists, for if the Reds secure the larger number of candidates, the Blues will have to pay for a sumptuous banquet. The Veterans of this Lodge are in command on both sides, but the Blues are determined that the Reds shall pay for the dinner. This novel campaign should be productive of good results. The Star will report the news. Our war correspondent is on the field. Dickerson's, 208 Hennepin, chelce steaks and rarebits. Oriental dishes, Excellent service. Cuisine unsurpassed.

Edmonton, Alta., Jan. 21.—The Edmonton Board of Trade has called the attention of the interior department to the influx of negro settlers into the districts surrounding Edmonton, asserting that they drive out white settlers. It is understood the minister has alleged that he could do nothing, as they have complied with the immigration laws and came in as regular settlers. During the last three years there has been a steady influx into Edmonton of colored people from the south, principally from Oklahoma. It was in 1908 that the first party arrived from the cotton fields of Oklahoma and settled along the Grand Trunk Pacific, the largest settlement being at Chip Lake. Since then there has been a small but steady stream. This year they are starting to come in increasing numbers, and it is said that hundreds of them are heading northward. Five families, consisting of thirty-four men, women and children, arrived directly from the cotton fields last week. They are said to be the forerunners of a big invading army. Most of them are taking up homesteads along the Grand Trunk Pacific. The 40 below zero weather they have struck has been a revelation to them, and they are having trouble keeping warm.—Journal. CHURCH ELIMINATES DANCING. Dancing has been put "under the ban" by the officials of St. Thomas Mission, in our city and St. Paul. There has never been brought to our notice any harm in the art of dancing, and intelligent people would not argue on this point. Dancing has nothing to do with the deportment of our young people. They have no home training, are uncouth and ignorant. Therefore they do not know proper manners whether in Church, dance hall or street car. They have no respect for Divine service, chattering as magpies, and running in and out the vestry etc. The best dancing class of our people go to the McCulloch's where the deportment is better than in our churches. But if dancing causes above conditions to exist in our churches. We say: Cut it out. It hurts your business. HOLDUP-MAN CAPTURED. Nels W. Ohern, brother of "Shorty Ohern, the Pugilist" was captured in Dubuque, Ia. On Sunday night he lost his money in a game in Archie Watkin's club. He pulled his gun and took the bank-roll.

With the ex- ception of the Boston Red Sox long training trips have been abandoned. Tt has often, though not invariably, been the case that a good training trip meant a great deal to a team. The ‘Chicago Cubs, for instance, won four champlonships tn five years and train- ed cach spring at a different place. In 1906 they did practically no training at all, President Charley Murphy had the idea that Champaign, IL, would be the proper place. Snow drove the team out of the col- lege town after a week of idleness. ‘They burried to Vicksburg, where rain allowed only a day or so of work. ‘They went to Atlanta and again were prevented from working by rain. All the real work the team got was in ex- hibition games north of the Ohio river. Yet they won the pernant hands down. Within 2 few weeks reports will come from the training camps lauding the youngsters. being tried out. Few Players get regular jobs on the strength of the work done in the training sea- son. They must make good in a real ball game before they can lay any claim to having upheld thelr end. Long Trip For Red Sox. President John I. Taylor of the Bos- ton Red Sox has mapped out the long- est trip ever taken by any baseball club. The players will leave on Feb. 18 and go to California. by way of Cht- cago. The team’s training will be done &t Redondo, just outside of Los An- geles. The club will use two special trains and live on them. The itinerary will cover about 8,500 miles. With a perfect baseball diamond and well prepared playing fleld awaiting them, the Giants will again do their training at Marlin Springs, Tex. They will begin practice under McGraw’s aye Feb. 20. Manager Hal Chase of the New York Americans expects to have twenty men or more at work at Athens, Ga., by March 15. On March 1 he will have the older members of the team report | to him at Hot Springs for a two weeks’ stay, when they will leave to join the tecruits at Athens. Early Start For Dodgers. Manager Bill Dahlen of the Brook- | lyns will have bis men at Hot Springs | by Feb. 10. They will remain there | until March 17, after which the team | will divide into two squads and work | thetr way north. |. Fred, Clarke of the Pittsburgs will have the Pirates at West Baden on March 7. They will remain there until March 17 and go to Hot Springs, | where the club has trained for several | years. ‘They will remain there unt April 8. ‘The Philadelphia club will start for | te training grounds at Birmingham, Als., Feb. 28, in charge of Charley | Doin. Three weeks will be spent in | Birmingham, when the club will split | into two teams and work north. Clark Grimith of the Cincinnat! Reds will send his pitchers and catchers to Hot Springs, Ark., on March 1. Two weeks later the other members of the team will go south. Cubs For New Orleans. President Murphy of the Chicago Oubs has once more made arrange- ments for his team to train at New Orleans. The players will report there the first week in March. They will begin regular games at once, as Char. ley Frank, manager of the New Or Jeans club, has ordered his players to Teport by March 10. The Cubs wil also play a series of games with sever a) American league teams. Roger Bresnahan's St. Louis Cardi. nals will report at West Baden about March 15. After a ten day stay the team will return to St. Louis. Fred Tenney's Boston rustlers will do thelr training-at Augusta, Ga., leav: tng for that town on March 15.

A Girl's New Year's Resolution. I'm going to be all dressed before I leave my own room and then forget it. I won't sit blas in a street car. I won't gossip so it hurts any one; just nice interesting, harmless little talks. I won't always tell all I know. I won't tell my friends of holes in their clothes when they are far from home. I won't fuss over things I cannot help. I won't hurry more than half of the time. I'll try to be pleasant and not lie, but I won't lie to be pleasant. A good natured liar makes every one mad in the long run. I won't lend money. I'll just give it and get the credit. When "in company" I'll talk, whether I have anything to say or not. I'll try to keep all my old friends and make as many new ones as possible, for some of the old will surely drop out. It is better to be on with the new before you are off with the old. Last, I'll try to keep some of these resolutions, all the easy ones anyway. An Ironing Board In Disguise.

When not in use as an ironing board WHEN THE IRONING BOARD IS A SETTEE it forms the most practical settee that could be imagined. The hamper under the ironing board forms the seat part of the settee and the ironing board the back. For use as an ironing board the wooden knobs are thrust through the holes in the proper and the stand, and there you are. The under part forms a convenient hamper either for clothes to be ironed or for those that have undergone the treatment. TWIN CITY STAR FARMERS LISTEN TO GOOD ADVICE Utica (Miss.) Institute Entertains Seventh Annual Conference. Thrilling Personal Experiences of Men Who Get Their Living Out of the Soil Were Features of the Meeting, Shiftlessness, Idleness and Debt Slavery Condemned. Utica, Miss.—A strong, common sense address to farmers by William H. Holtzclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute; remarkable stories by individual farmers, who told of their efforts to purchase land and educate their children, and a sane, conservative public address by the farmers and visitors assembled were the principal features of the seventh annual farmers' conference, recently held at the institute. In his address to the farmers, which began the exercises, Professor Holtzclaw explained the object of the conferences to be an honest effort on the part of the institution to be of service to the people of the community and gave some pointed advice to the people. Shiftlessness, idleness and being always in debt were strongly condemned by the prominent educator, and, on the other hand, he told his hearers that if they wanted to enjoy prosperity they must work for it. "The price of success is industry, thrift, economy and morality," he said. "With these you must mix a good degree of foresight. For nearly fifty years you have been renting land, and you have worked it until you have literally worked it to death. Yet there are some present today who are not worth one cent more than they were forty-eight years ago. We get into the habit of believing that the world is against us; that the white man is making an effort to keep us down. I have never found one white man whose opinion was worth anything in the community that was opposed to Negroes being respectable and progressive citizens. On the other hand, I know them by thousands who have helped Negroes to buy homes and attain respectable places as citizens. the personal experiences of many of the unlettered colored farmers who have been inspired by the institution in its efforts to relieve their condition formed by far the most interesting portion of the conference program. Several hours were taken up in hearing these impromptu speeches, and among the farmers who gave interesting testimony were Pleasant McCadden, Isaiah Marshall, Daniel Lee, Daniel Griffin, Henry Samples and many other farmers who have struggled hard until they are now in comfortable circumstances. Significant resolutions prepared by a committee composed of Professor T. J. Johnson, F. G. Smith, Mae Dixon, C. S. Kelley and M. B. Anderson were read and adopted unanimously. The resolutions were vigorous and forceful and expressed the real sentiment of the progressive colored man. The Negro was commended in all efforts to be law abiding, to acquire property, to raise the moral status, and industrial education was held up to be of the greatest possible benefit to the masses. A frank statement of the condition of the rural public schools and the lack of law enforcement was one of the noteworthy features of the address, which read in part: "It cannot be expected that Negroes remain on the farm from year to year, receiving acant wages only once a year, with no educational opportunities, because their teachers are poorly paid. This can be changed to a very great extent. The Negroes of the state of Mississippi make up 58 per cent of the population, yet they receive only 24 per cent of the money for education. We do not even suggest that the white children should receive less than they already receive for education, but the best interests of the state demand that the Negro shall have more." A large number of prominent men from various sections of the state attended the conference. Man Whom the World Applauds Most. As a word of encouragement for the ambitious, self reliant young men and women of the race in their effort to make their mark in life the Griffin (Ga.) Echo says: "If for any reason you cannot convince the man of means to lend you a hand in your struggle, despair not, but become more determined in your effort to succeed, for, after all, the world applauds loudest the man who succeeds by reason of his own dogged determination." Mystic Shriners' Big Reception. One of the most largely attended receptions among secret societies in Brooklyn so far for the month of January was the one given by the Ancient Arabian Daughters of Sphinx at Sumner hall. Members of the subordinate lodges of the Mystic Shriners crowded the hall and were conspicuous in the grand march, which was participated in by fully 300 persons, led by the deputy grand matron and R. L. De Vass, noble of the thirty-second degree. WHAT IS MAN? WHAT IS MAN? Pastor Russell Agrees With Bobby Burns That "A Man's a Man For A' That." An Interesting and Instructive Discourse. Buffalo, N. Y., January 22.—Pastor Russell addressed large assemblages twice here today in his usual fresh, attractive and instructive style. One address was on "The Great Hereafter"; the other, which we report, "What is Man?" (Psalm will. 4). PETER B. BURGESS PASTOR RURSELL The Great Hereafter; after; the other, which we report, was from the text, "What is Man?" (Psalm vill. 4). Notwithstanding all that the Bible has to say respecting the nature of man few subjects seem to be more misunderstood. Science declares man to be an animal of the highest type or order. In this, science is in absolute agreement with the Scriptures, which declare of our first parents, "The first man was of the earth, earthy" (I Corinthians xv, 47). Our text agrees with this, declaring that man was made a little lower than the angels—angels being the lowest form of spirit beings, man the highest type of earth belongs. A particular account of man's creation is given, and when we examine it we find it in full agreement with what we have seen to be the teachings of other parts of the Scriptures. That account declares that God formed man of the dust of the earth, and it tells us that after man's transgression had brought him under the Divine condemnation of death, his Creator said to him, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Whence Gave Our Confusion? Whence Came Our Confusion? In view of these facts, which we now have clearly before our minds, how strange it seems that most of the civilized world denies all and declares to the contrary—that man is a spirit being, and that his death is merely an evolutionary step by which he passes on to his real nature as a spirit. This is supposed to be very scientific, because many, presumably wise and scientific people, thus assert themselves. However, according to these same people, such an evolution, from human nature to spirit nature at death, instead of being a desirable progression or evolution, is a decided disadvantage, because, as they tell us, the majority of those thus graduated from flesh conditions to spirit conditions will find themselves tortured, either purgatorily or eternally. It would seem, if this be true, that this at least, to the majority, would be a step of devolution rather than one of evolution. But upon what are these "scientific" and learned assumptions based? Who will vouch for the change said to take place at death? Who will prove to us that a man in dying becomes a spirit being of a higher order than human? There is no such proof: the wish is parent to the thought. Yet why should men wish to be spirit beings at death, if they believe, as the creeds declare, that tortures await them in the spirit land—await nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand? Ah, here again humanity does not believe its own creeds. The devilish suggestions are allowed to remain in the creeds, unbelieved by the intelligent, to afright the unintelligent. But alas! these misrepresentations are really blasphemies against our Creator which misrepresent his Wisdom, Justice, Love and Power. And these blasphemous thoughts are accredited to the Bible, with the result that it is disbelieved and its great Author doubted or denied and thousands of the intelligent of our race are agnostics. One Voice Only Answers One Voice Only Answers. Spiritism speaks up to assert that it, and it alone, can furnish proof that man, of the earth earth, is after death a spirit. It furnishes us mediums at whose instance tables are tipped and rappings are heard and other evidences are given of unseen power; and these unseen powers, we are told, are the spirits of dead men seeking to prove to humans that they are not dead, but that in the moment of death they were transformed into spirit. And now our scientific men are taking up the subject. They decline to be identified with Spiritism and designate their findings Psychic Phenomena. Mediums and their demonstrations have been subjected to every imaginable scientific test to demonstrate that the results are not fraudulent—that there is really a spirit power, an invisible power which can do and has done remarkable things beyond the power of humanity. Accepting these investigations as scientific, and accepting the results as scientific proof that there is a spirit power or force which can and has operated in conjunction with human affairs and especially through mediums, what does this prove? What scientific fact have we here to evidence that these spirit powers have anything to do with our friends who have died? "Living Spirits" Savu St. Paul. These spirits operate through mediums sometimes in trance, sometimes answering by written notes from "nowhere," sometimes mechanically grasping the hand of the writing-medium and using it without her volition; sometimes by rappings and sometimes by oulja-boards, declaring themselves truthful, sincere, honest, desirous of assisting humanity, etc. But does this prove, scientifically, that they are honest, that they are true? Ask any spiritualist! He will tell you, at very flost, that he believes some of them are honest, or will tell you sorrowfully that some of them have lied to him time and again; and if he be an advanced and experienced Spiritualist he will tell that at times some of these evil spirits have made all manner of vile suggestions to him. But he will tell also that at first it was not so; instead he was at first told that he should pray more and read the Scriptures more. Afterwards he was jeered at and mocked and told that the Scriptures were nonsense and that although there is a God the inquirer is too renegade to hope for any blessing from God. We have neglected our Bibles too much; we have trusted too much to worldly wisdom. The Bible alone gives the solution of the matter. It alone tells us respecting these spirits; that they are not humans and never were; that they are the fallen angels. D. V. we will consider them a week from now. "A Man's a Man For A' That." The Bible is thoroughly consistent with itself; from first to last it maintains that man is an earthly being. According to the Greek and the Hebrew of the Bible he is an animal soul or animal being in contradiction to a spirit soul or spirit being. "Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble"; "Man dieth and wasteth away, and where is he? He shall not awake nor be raised out of his sleep until the heavens be no more"—until the present order of things shall have passed away (Job xlv, 1-10). Again we read respecting the death sentence and man's hope of recovery out of death by a resurrection. "Thou turnedest man to destruction; thou sayest return ye children of men"; "Cease ye from man, whose spirit (breath of life) is in his nostrils" (Psalm xc, 3; Isaiah ii, 22); "If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of mine appointed time will I await until my (resurrection) change come. Thou shalt call and I will answer thee (awakening from the sleep of death), for thou wilt have desire unto the work of thy hands"; "There shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust" (Job xiv, 14; Acts xxiv, 15). They are dead, they are not alive as spirit nor in any other sense. They will be dead until God's time for the resurrection of the dead. Resurrection of the living would be unnecessary, and if death brought to man a change to a higher plane of existence as a spirit being, then the resurrection of the dead would not be set before humanity as a blessed hope, for rather it would be a punishment, even to the holy. Whence Came the Error? It seems probable that this serious error, which has had so much to do with the world's theological confusion, came about through the misunderstanding of the Bible teachings respecting the Church—the application of things said concerning the Church to the world, to whom they did not apply. Bible students are coming more and more to see, in the light which one passage of Scripture throws upon another, that the Church is a distinctive class, separate from the angels and the world of mankind in general. The Divine Plan revealed in the Scriptures sets forth one salvation for the Church—on the spirit plane. It reveals to us two classes who will be blessed on that spirit plane. It shows us that one of these classes was typified in the priesthood of natural Israel and that the other class was typified in the Levites who assisted the priests as servants. The remainder of the tribes of Israel represented, typically, the entire world of mankind who will ultimately be saved, not to a heavenly state or condition, but as men to a restored earthly condition. It will be remembered that the Priests and Levites had no inheritance in the land, thus typically showing that they represented that portion of humanity which, by God's grace, will obtain a heavenly inheritance and experience a change from human to spirit nature. As the Levites and Priests represented the first-born of Israel saved at the Passover, so those who will attain a resurrection to the spirit plane are Scripturally designated "the church of the first-born" and again, "the first fruits unto God of his creatures." The elect of this Gospel Age are not, therefore, all who are to be saved, but merely all who are to be saved to the spirit plane. With the completion of the elect Church and her glorification with our Lord in his resurrection, the "first resurrection" (Philippians iii, 10; Revelations xx, 0), the Kingdom will be established for which we pray. The Kingdom, per se, will be spirit, invisible to men, but it will have earthly agents and representatives, and its dealings will be with mankind to uplift Adam and his race from sin and degradation—not to spirit conditions, not to the heavenly plane, not to make them like the angels, but, as the Scriptures declare, to restore them to human perfection—to perfection of the earthly nature, in which Adam was created and from which by sin he fell and has been redeemed by the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Begotten to a New Nature. Begister is a 2 new Testament. Very long ago the distinctions between these two salvations was lost sight of—the heavenly calling for the Church and the Restitution for the World (Hebrews iii, 1; Acts iii, 19-21). The old Testament refers exclusively to the earthly and the fact that the New Testament tells almost exclusively of the heavenly and its promises was overlooked. Thenceforth no difference was recognized between the consecrated Church and mankind in general, and the words of the Apostle, addressed to the Church class only, were applied to all. For instance, in first Corinthians, the fifteenth chapter, St. Paul discusses the general fact of death reigning through Adam and of the provision, through Christ, of a resurrection of the dead. Then he proceeds to speak specially of the Church class, saying, "this is the resurrection of the dead." The (emphatic) resurrection signifies the special or First-resurrection class, and the dead similarly marks the special class of dead ones—the saintly dead, the Church of Christ, begotten of the holy Spirit to a new nature, the heavenly nature. Not noticing this, commentators and people in general have applied these words to humanity in general and understand them to teach that all that are sown in corruption will be raised in incorruption; that all who die in weakness, will be raised in power; that all who die animal bodies, will be raised spiritual bodies. But the Apostle is endeavoring to impress a very different lesson, namely, that the Church is a special class and will have a special resurrection to spirit conditions which the world will never know anything about experimentally. The Bible shows this had we but noticed it: The Apostle says, "God giveth to every seed its own body" that is to say, if we sow wheat we expect to reap wheat, if we sow oats we expect to reap oats. The Apostle's argument is that none need expect to be of the wheat class, the spirit class, unless they are of that class when sown in death. In other words, he would have them understand that a natural man, an animal man, in the resurrection will be an animal man, but those who accept the Divine offer of this Gospel Age, to become new creatures in Christ Jesus, begotten again by the holy Spirit—these will not come forth in the resurrection human belongs, but, being in full harmony with the begetting of the spirit which they have received, will in the resurrection be born of the spirit. The Hidden Mystery Revealed. The Hidden Mystery Revealed. Up to the time of Christ no promise of a change of nature from human to spirit had been received by any member of our race. The Lord Jesus himself became the Captain and Forerunner of "the Church, which is his Body," and which, during this Gospel Age, has been walking in his steps of self-sacrifice. The special privilege of this Gospel Age is the sacrifice of the earthly nature in order to the attainment, instead, of the heavenly nature. This was an incomprehensible matter to those to whom it was preached at first. No Jew had ever thought of anything higher than the human plane and Divine service on the human plane. But the message of the Gospel was a call or invitation to the heavenly nature and heavenly service as the Bride of Christ and his Joint Heirs in glory. Of this call St. Paul says that it is a "mystery that was hidden from past ages and dispensations, but that it is now revealed unto the saints" (Colossians 1, 26). It was not proper that any but the saints should fully appreciate and comprehend this. "To you it is given to know the things of the Kingdom, but to outsiders these things are spoken in parables and dark sayings that they might not understand." This Mystery was, therefore, never understood by many because the saints were never many, and by and by, when salutship was at a discount and when nominal Christians became numerous and influential and made the creeds, it was but natural that the Mystery should become more or less begged. But instead of going back to preach human restitution to the human plane in a world-wide Eden, the misinformed theologians hung their own hopes and the hopes of the world upon the heavenly assurances—just where they did not belong. Thus it was that, despite our five senses and every plain statement of the Bible, it has become the prevalent belief that humanity is of spirit nature and not earthly, human; that dying is but getting him either to Heaven, Purgatory or Hell. With this confusion the danger all along theological lines has become great, so that practically every doctrine of the Church is more or less confused thereby. This is the secret, this is the reason why the Bible is misunderstood and being cast aside with the creeds of the Dark Ages as no longer worthy of consideration, while the bulk of Churchianity rushes madly toward the ditch of "Higher Criticism, Evolution, Agnosticism"—with little faith in a personal God and no definite hope. It is time, my dear hearers, that we seek the old paths, the Bible paths, and that we seek them intelligently and reverently and honestly. There has been much searching of the Bible to find proofs of what we believe and to entrench ourselves in errors handed to us from the past by well-meaning but deceived forefathers. It is time for us to be honest and to search that we may know God's message to us through his inspired prophets and his Son and the Apostles. It will not do to say that doctrines are unnecessary. The Bible puts faith, proper faith, at the very foundation of Christian character. "We believe and therefore speak." Let us do this, let us not be content until we know exactly what the Bible teaches concerning "What is man and respecting the hope, man's restitution, and respecting the high calling, the heavenly calling of the Church. When we begin to see these matters clearly the entire Bible shines as never before, our faith becomes strong as never before. And then, if we are honest, our love for God and our zeal for his service must also increase proportionately. At some future time we may take up, "What is the soul of man?"

Mr. Ora Hall is making good in the Auditor's office. Every one expected that he would. He is a Spanish War Veteran and a newspaper-man. He will do credit to his race in his position. The Federated Women'e Clubs are going to have a real, live, and up-to-date newspaper, the first issue to be out Feb. 8. Many members of these clubs have had this publication, (on demand), since first issue—and we have sent bills and recieved promises. They should have a newspaper. Lack of moral and industrial co-elorseism among our people. If the Negroes of the Twin Cities would stop discussing the problems of segregation, and going on record as being antagonistic against each other on account of their adherence to the principles of Dr. Washington or Prof. Dubois, they would be in a position to produce some material along social, industrial and financial lines, which would help upbuild the race. Our race in the Twin Cities is doing nothing. They have restaurants, barber shops, pool rooms, and saloons, and struggling newspapers. Lack of social cohesiveness is evident. The one up the ladder will stop to kick the other, who is down below—the result generally is that they fight in mid-air and both fall to the ground. Some effort should be made to promote harmonious conditions among our people. Fraternal organizations have utterly failed to do this. Our church going element are far behind, so far as moral uplift is concerned. Fraternities accept all classes, simply respective of the monetary source. Nothing is being done, at home or in public, towards the training of our young people. Their behavior in public places, especially our churches is intolerable. The characters and mode of living of their parents is no fit example for them to follow. The Twin Cities is the melting pot of all classes and conditions of our people who come from all parts of the earth. The refining process has produced much dross. Hence these conditions. Yet they look with disgust n the Negro in the Southland. The Denver Independent published in issue of Jan. 21, a four column half-tone photo of the officers and members of Corporal White, Camp No. 4, United Spanish War Veterans. We congratulate our comrades on their soldierly appearance and rapid progress. Comrade Campbell, the editor of the Independent is one of the trustees of this camp, and is keeping these heroes before the public. Success to Comrade Jno. F. Ogleby and his newly installed staff. Keep your campfires burning brightly—"Peace hath her victories." 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. TRUTH ABOUT RACE PROBLEM In an Open Letter to Mr. J. Ellis Barker Dr. J. M. Waldron Gives Some Timely Information as to the Attitude of Colored Men In Reference to Their Citizenship. The personal interest which Mr. J. Ellis Barker of London is taking in the economic, social and political status of colored Americans by making a study of conditions among them in the various sections of the United States is having a good effect. In order to fully assure Mr. Barker that the race appreciates his efforts in this direction, the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, organizer at large for the National Independent Political league, has sent Mr. Barker the following open letter: My Dear Sir-I have recently seen in several of the newspapers of my race a brief account of your views relative to the colored man in this country. I rejoice that you have been enlightened relative to the condition and character of my people in America and have thereby become a friend to the colored man, and REV. DR. J. MILTON WALDRON. anxious to help set him forth in his true light before the British and European public. As a means of assisting you in your good work and of provoking other members of my race to aid you in your noble undertaking I take the liberty of addressing to you this open letter. I have been a traveler man and that you have studied human nature deeply. This being true, you will readily understand that the colored man of America, like all other men, is a many sided creature. Aside from the accidents of color, previous condition of servitude, locality of birth, etc., the colored American is like other human beings similarly situated and requires the same kind of fraternity and hereditary influences for his proper development—nothing less and nothing more. It is a mistake, it seems to me, to argue that the colored American is different from other human beings and is therefore to be dealt with in a way contrary to that of the white American, the human family, and yet this mistake is indulged in by almost every white American and by many colored men in discussing the so called "race problem," and, in the case of the black man, ple of this country regard the colored man of America—and all other countries, for that matter—as not being really a man. Most of them admit that he is a human being, but of a low order, an insecure and destiny to forever remain less than a man. You will readily admit, I believe, that the spirit of the present age is materialistic and that there is great danger of the use of the material resources and everything by the utilitarian standard. We have with 75 per cent of the people is not how can they help to make the colored American a real and true man, worthy of the image of God, but how can they make the colored man a real and true man, worthy of the material resources of this country? Shall the colored man in America be permitted and assisted to rise to the full stature of noble and heroic manhood and be allowed privileges accorded to rights, opportunities and country, or shall he be forced into the position of a serf and be permitted to live in peace and safety only so long as serves the material interests of the white man himself to him in every walk of life? These two questions divide the white philanthropists of this country and also place into two different and distinct schools the colored men and women of the United States and the colored men and women of their fellows. Those who look upon the colored man "as necessary" only to the physical and material development of the United States say that the "race problem can only be solved by teaching the colored man "as necessary" to the white man's business and not to complain at his lot, however hard, mistrust or inhuman it may be; to eschew politics, to move along the line of least resistance and to get money and property from the white man, and social and economic rights will finally come to him of their own accord." Those who believe that the colored man is destined by God to be a man aged to enjoy all the life, opportunities and the class of men in this country and the right to be a part to play in the development of this country and this world take the position that "the colored American is not only entitled to a trade, a common school he needs and ought to pay for, required by any other race for its highest development in all spheres of life, and the colored man will never secure these things without aspiring to the highest degree of success. All this might all the time for everything, any other man is entitled to, and he must not be satisfied with anything less." Most white persons, and numerous colored as well, who have written or spoken upon the so called "race problem" have made the sad mistake of setting up too low a standard for the dark skinned American and have forgotten that the colored man in this country is as much a man per se as any other continent. It seems to escape the attention of the majority of the students of the "race problem" that the sex TWIN CITY STAR ored man of America is not only "needed by the white man in his business," but is needed by him in every other sphere of life. These would be solvers of the "race problem" also forget that this country is destined to be the meeting ground of all races. This is why it is to be born the ideal man. This ideal or future man is to be neither distinctively Shematic, Hamitic or Japhetic, but an admixture of all the races of the world. This being true, the white people of this country are the who are yet to come to their shores owe them the man who is already here or who may come here in the future to see to it that he is afforded the largest opportunity for the highest possible development along all right lines in order that he may contrib- ure fulfilled and unhindered his share to the formation of the ideal or future man. In your travels in this country I hope you will not allow the glamour of materialistic institutions for and among the colored people to lead you to forget these people and be treated as such are not whinners or theorists, but advocates of the highest and best things for our own people and for the hundreds of millions who are yet to inhabit this continent. We know that America cannot abide as a government of, by and for the people and fulfill the end of her being while she ill treats and regards as less than men any large part of her population, and we believe that she must strive to ourselves and to our God if we did in every way in our power resist the wrongs done the colored man and the darker races generally in this country and contend with might and main that the colored American and all other oppressed people in this country be given the right to be free and that the leges accorded any other element of the nation's inhabitants. I am yours for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens; J. MILTON WALDRON. Washington, January, 1911. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE STRENGTHENS FACULTY. Professor William H. Clarke Appointed Dean of Academic Department. Huntsville, Ala.—In securing the services of Professor William H. Clarke, a well known educator and a man of much force and character, as dean of the academic department the management of the Agricultural and Mechanical college located here has won quite a prize and thereby has increased its literary efficiency a hundredfold. Mr. Clarke is a graduate from both the classical and theological departments of Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, and has done considerable postgraduate work in mathematics and the sciences in the University of New York. He gave up the ministry for the teaching profession and for several years has been identified with many of the better schools for the training of colored youth. In all of them his work has been of a very high character. Besides his work at Normal, his most notable engagement was at the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, Frankfort, where he held for some time the chair of natural science. Incidentally it might be mentioned that Dean Clarke is a specialist in the natural science—chemistry and phys [Name] PROFESSOR WILLIAM H. CLARKE. PROFESSOR WILLIAM H. CLARK ics- and is a man of broad training and rare ability. He likewise is a specialist in mathematics. Two years after accepting the nati ural science post Professor Clarke was invited to the responsible position of dean of the institution, which posi tion he held for four years, resigning over the protest of the school authori ties at Frankfort to accept the similar position at the Agricultural and Mech ical college at Normal. In this connection it might be stated that Mr. Clarke had repeatedly been offered very flattering positions at Normal during the life and presidency of the late President William H. Councill, and also from the College of Lberia at Monrovia and from the Tuskegee institute. President Walter S. Buchanan, who has succeeded the late President Councill at Normal, has not only found in Mr. Clarke a man of fine education and training, but indispensable in the work of making the Agricultural and Mechanical school at Normal the greatest educational training school for the race in the south. Mr. Clarke numbers among his accomplishments the ability to speak with ease and grace. Masons to Have New Paper.
