Hosmer, who is spending several weeks in the Twin Cities is now stopping at 1819 5th Ave. S., Minneapolis. He is a real representative of Dr. Booker T. Washington's Famous School at Tuskegee, Ala. He did not go to school until after he had reached his 18th year, but is now an Instructor at Tuskegee Institute, and a tax-payer in two states: Alabama and Illinois. C. B. HOSMER. Mr. Hosmer spoke very encouragingly and interestingly before the Minneapolis Sunday Forum at the Bethesda Baptist Church last Sunday, May 7th. His very practical address was thoroughly enjoyed by all who heard him. He believes in the Negro race, in his ability to triumph against all odds, and in the real progress of his people. He thinks that every Negro should have something; should possess a piece of property, a bank account and be genuinely proud of the race to which he belongs. Mr. Hosmer is securing scholarships and money for the General Fund of Tuskegee Institute. He is meeting with success in his work here in the Twin Cities, and is very enthusiastic over the encouragement he is meeting with in the great Northwest. There is no question but that Tuskegee's work is to me the salvation of the masses of our people—millions of whom are now woefully and almost hopelessly ignorant—especially in the South. In its methods of uplifting and educating these masses of people Tuskegee is certainly solving the Negro problem—the most perplexing problem now before the American people.

After being conducted through the institution and shown the various departments by the Matron, Mrs. J.

The young men of our race who are attending the State University organized themselves into a club some two months ago, known as the Pi Alpha Tau. This is a club composed of energetic and progressive young men, banded together for the mutual uplift and betterment of their race. In order to further carry out their purpose they have planned to give two entertainments, one in St. Paul, (on the evening of) May 18, 1911, to be held at St. James' A. M. E. church; the other in Minneapolis, May 19, 1911, to be held at St. Peter's A. M. E. church. These entertainments have been carefully planned by young men who have push and enterprise behind them, and they give promise to be the best of their kind which have been given in the Twin Cities for some time. They will be strictly of a high class order, interesting to both young and old. They will consist wholly of musical and literary numbers, and, as some of the best talent in the Twin Cities has been secured, they will prove to be a great treat to all who attend them. Now as our young people need and should receive encouragement in undertakings of this kind, everyone who appreciates good musical and literary talent must needs come out and attend at least one if not both of these entertainments.

PI ALPHA TAU. ‘The young men of our race who are attending the State University or- ganized themselves into a club some two months ago, known as the Pi Alpha Tau. This is a club composed of energetic and progressive young men, banded together for the mutual uplift and betterment of their race. In order to further carry out thelr purpose they have planned to give two entertainments, one in St. Paul, (on the evening of) May 18, 1911, to be held at St. James’ A. M. E. church; the other in Minneapolis, May 19, 1911, to be held at St, Peter's A. M. E. church. These entertainments have been carefully planned by young men who have push and enterprise behind them, and they give promis to be the best of their kind which have been given in the Twin Cities for some time. They will be strictly of a high class order, interesting tc both young and old. They will con sist wholly of musical and Hterary numbers, and, as some of the best talent in the Twin Cities has been secured, they will prove to be a great treat to all who attend them. Now as our young people need and should receive encouragement in undertakings of this kind, everyone who appreciates good musical and literary talent must needs come out and attend at least one {f not both of these entertainments.

Sas | E | | Detective Pa: TROTTER PLEADS FOR SQUARE DEAL Wants Passage Color Dis- criminating Laws Stopped. RACE MUST STAND TOGETHER In a Forceful and Analytical Address Before Bethel Literary and Historloa! Association In Washington Noted Boston Editor Says Caste System Ie Spreading In America. - By FH, M. MURRAY. Washington.—In the long and brit Mant history of the famous Bethel Lit erary and Historical association of Washington no season, certainly none fn recent years, bas been more notable than the one which will close within a few weeks. The seuson was opened by the lead- ing literary man of the race, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. tt practically closed with an address by W. Monroe ‘Trotter, the editor of the Boston Guardian and president of the Boston Literary and Historical association, Bethel’s chief competitor for national prominence. Mr, Trotter's subject at the April meeting of the literary was “The Caste of Color.” There was a large audience of the capital's most thought: ful and cultured people, and the ban- diing of the subject was worthy of the audience, the literary and the rep- utation of the speaker. Mr. ‘Trotter is a graduate of Har vard university, where be made a bril- Mant record, and, though not usually regarded as un orator, he proved to be fully capable of creditably represent- ing on the platform bis famous alma mater and also bis race. He spoke without notes, Editor ‘Trotter discussed the elements which constitute a caste system and pointed out facts and occurrences of the present situation tn this country which serve to demonstrate that a caste system based on color has al- ready been established, in the south at least, and that a determined effort 4s being made to push the system into and all over the north and to draw the separating “color line” more and more sharply and oppressively where the caste of color now has a foothold, His citations and quotations were explicit and striking, particularly the extracts he read from a recent book by the Rev. Quincy Bwing, a native southern white man, which [aid bare the “Heart of the Race Problem," which Is the title of Rev. Mr. Ewing's book. ‘This “heart,” he showed, 1s nothing more nor less than a determl- nation to establish and maintain a caste based on color alone; hence, if this attempt succeeds, neither the ac- quisition of wealth nor of education ‘will avall to break the “color line." He urged that every effort be made to block the passage of laws baving that end In view wherever proposed. He showed that the matter of color caste was deeper than mere sentiment: that {t reached further than the mat ter of social intermingling: that the “color line” once drawn would be and now is extended far beyond matters soctal or even civil and proves a bar rier in the acquiring of education, and the higher training binders and will eventually prevent the employment of the proscribed caste in any of the more desirable and more lucrative employ: ments, and that even if natural com: petence could under such a system be acquired by an exceptional few i would not permit its enjoyment of profitable use. He warned against giving heed and countenance to those who speciously seek to justify or condone this dis abling menace and pleaded for unre lenting war against the “thin wedge" of color segregation, seeking to gaiz entrance where “the line” 1s not now drawn, through “separate” philan throple Institutions of a semipublic character, such as the ¥. M. C. A. and “soctal settlements.” Mr. Trotter received an almost un precedented tribute of approval at the close of his address, which was calm analytical and argumentative. He was followed briefly by Hon. Jo seph Manning of Alabama, who was introduced as “the white garrison of the south, > characterization he well deserves. General Andrew Burt, U. 8. A. re tired, who commanded the Twenty fifth Infantry, also spoke briefly and testified to his high regard for the col ored people as exemplified by bis reg tment, He scored those of our ow! race who advised an attitude of sub Yaission and insisted that, like all oth er oppressed and exploited classes nov existing and who bave preceded us, “4 satisfied with a little you will surely et lesa” The celebrated Amphion Glee club Professor J. Henry Lewis, director added not a little to the enjoyablenes of the occasion. The consolidation of the Yonkers Standard and the New Rochelle (N. ¥.) ‘League Journal into one strong week dy paper and the absorbing of the New ‘Advocate by the Amsterdam News, coupled with the present ap- at financial distress of the great ‘New York Age. are the latest develop- ats in Afro-American journalism /Bmpire Btate of the North. PITGHERS CANNOT BEAR TO SEE THEIR ARMS FAlL When Baseball Fever Is There Nothing Will Take Place of Work In Box—Salary Wing Twirl- ‘we Big hte “Pretty soft for"— have the fans often remarked when one of the pitchers was forced to warm the bench because of an injury to his pitching arm. “Pretty soft tp just sit there and watch the other fellows play while his salary goes on just the same.” It does look pretty soft for the piteh- er in question, but there is another side to the situation which perhaps does not appeal to the average baseball fan, A pitcher's asset in making bis live- hood is his pitching arm. When that goes back on him he must seek other means of earning his bread and butter and providing for his family. Perhaps he has been in the game long enough and has been earning a handsome salary so that he is fairly well fortified against any possible in- roads of poverty. Perhaps he has made some shrewd investments which have placed him independent in a way. Perhaps he has some other profession that he can fall back on. Many have, now that college men are so numerous in professional baseball. But whether he has a large nest egg laid away or not, no big league pitch- er likes to see his salary wing going back ou him or the victim of injury, for earning from $3,500 to $5,000 by pitching some thirty or forty games during the six months of the summer campaign is far better than drawing down $25 or even $50 a week the year pa AMATEUR HORSE RACING. Coming Season Promises to Be a Bane ner One. ‘The United Hunts Racing associae tion believes that the coming seasom will be the greatest in the history of amateur racing. Announcement of the approved dates for the year shows that meetings will be held at points that have never raced before, and the support will come not alone from those that have hitherto been patrons of this branch of the sport. Military races will be a strong fea ture of the year. They are being ar- ranged for at various points and will be on the flat and over the steeple chase courses. The war department is aiding in every way the progress of these races. At Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. they are building a steeplechase course two miles in one clreult for the pur- pose of developing the horses now quartered there. At other posts, espe- ctally at Fort Riley, Kan, and at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., horses are being schooled as Jumpers under the advice of the experts. ‘The decision of the United Hunts Racing association to give a spring meeting 1s a new departure.

WELL FORTIFIED © SAVINGS BANK Pride of Richmond's Financlal Concerns Started in Basement, GAPITAL STOCK QUICKLY PAID "Geeporation ecacna John Mitchell, Jr, ‘and Chartered Under the Laws fa Aman Ate Aercane—Whe By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Richmond, Va—That the Virginia Afro-American 1s making remarkable Progress in the realm of commerce is concretely evidenced in this city by @ financial institution known as the Me- chanics’ Savings bank. To the pess- ‘mist it demonstrates the colored man's ability to become a financier ‘along the most modern and conserva- tive Iines as well as the producer of an atmosphere which is a stimulus to thousands of Afro-Americans, from the fural districts to the boy operating an @levator In a skyscraper. ‘The founder of the bank is one of the most unique characters claiming the attention of ‘the American public today. The name of John Mitchell, Jr., is synonymous of the Ideals which make for the in- telligent and fearless American jour alist of the Grst rank—the American ‘whose life vitalizes every activity of the human family for the conservation of its religious, civic, social, economic and educational forces. On Nov. 20, 1901, this bank was given its charter of Incorporation, be- Ing capitalized at $25,000, The board Of directors was composed of the fol- lowing men: John Mitchell, Jr., Wil- Mam A.

Their keen business acumen was shown in thelr beginning business fo a basement with three rooms on North Third street, Jan. 1, 1902. Six- teen thousand six hundred dollars of the capital stock was at once paid Dy the above named representative Business men before they began bust- Bess, which afforded the necessary banking appurtenances. The people bad Implicit confidence in the men pro- Bibi, the bank, and the other stock ‘was subsequently sold readily. ‘The first week's deposits amounted to $8,000, and because-of adhering to the laws governing banks the buidings and real estate had increased to $90,000 and total deposits to the amount of $2,702,236.76 for the busi- ness done for the eight years ending the year of 1909. Imbued with a con- servative banking spirit, President Mitchell, after showing the directors the peculiar exigencies of the bank requiring larger quarters, was given authority to recommend such to the stockholders, and the capital stock was increased to $100,000 at the an- nual meeting In 1900.

HUSSEY 243 HENNEPIN AVE, Second Floor WHY SUIT WAS INSTITUTED Unable to Collect Money Paid to Save Publishing House of the Denomination From Sheriffs Hammer, Widow of Former Manager Was Forced to Take Legal Action For Settlement. Philadelphia.—Mrs. Ruth M. Collett of Baltimore, widow of the late Rev. John H. Collett, who was for six years manager of the A. M. E. Publishing house in Philadelphia, was recently awarded a verdict for $4,718.28 in her claim for money said to have been advanced by herself and husband in order to keep the book concern going as well as for back salary. Mrs. Collett says that she resorted to every other means in order to get the money before taking the matter to the courts. "A few days after my husband's death in 1908," says Mrs. Collett, "I went to Philadelphia and requested that there be an accounting between us so that all bills for and against my husband could be accounted for and paid. This was refused, and when I requested that I be allowed to get my husband's papers this was also refused, and I began to be a little alarmed. When my husband succeeded R. H. Leek as business manager in 1902 he found that the sheriff had tacked a notice on the property declaring that it was to be sold for debt. "He paid off claims against the department so fast that many times there was not enough money left to pay the running expenses, and he was forced to advance the deficit from his personal funds. One of the bills against the department was $1,178 for linotyping. Things became so pressing after awhile that I had to apply some 9 MRS. RUTH M. COLLETT. of my own funds in order to help my husband in his work of saving the concern to the denomination. "My husband employed a certified public accountant, Miss Eva Johnson, as clerk, and thereby every penny was accounted for. When Mr. Collett's quadrennial statement was read at the general conference in Norfolk in 1908 it was accepted, and many of the ministers gathered around to congratulate him. I proposed that $500 be paid me in cash and the remainder at $50 a month. I did not hear anything more of the matter until December, 1908, eight months after my husband's death, which occurred in April, 1908. "Then Mr. R. R. Wright, manager now for the concern, offered me $200 down and $50 a month, besides embodying a plan by which I would have lost over $800. I wrote Bishop Gaines repeatedly, but received not a single answer, and the suit was the result. The expert accountant and myself were highly commended by the judge who sat in the case." Mrs. Collett says she paid the department every cent due it. She is well and favorably known in all parts of the country on account of having represented her husband at annual conferences. Rev. Mr. Collett was fifty-seven years of age at the time of his death and was one of the best known ministers in the country. Georgia Colored Fair Association.

Text of the Lesson, Ia. iss. i-1-13 Memory Verse, 6-8- Golden Text, Ia. iss. vi. 8- Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We saw in last week's lesson that Uzziah, king of Judah, was evidently much helped by a prophet named Zechariah, who had visions of God. And now we see in this lesson that Isaih received his commission in connection with a vision of God. It was so with Ezekiel and Zechariah, who wrote the prophecy called by his name; also with Moses and Joshua and Gideon. Daniel also had a vision of God, and it was not until Job could say "Now mine eye seeth thee" that he received fullness of blessing. There is no vision of God or knowledge of God except through the Son of God, whom we know as Jesus Christ our Lord. No man knoweth the Father save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me. He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father (Matt. xl. 27; John xiv, 6, 9). We are not fully qualified for service until we have so seen God in Christ that no mortal man is big enough to come between Him and our soul's vision. The Lord alone must be seen and exalted, and we must cease from man (Isa. 11, 11, 17, 22). In the year that King Uzziah died Isaiah saw a throne and a king who liveth forever, who said to John in Patmos, "I was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore" (Rev. 1, 18). This same John, quoting from our lesson chapter and referring to this vision, said, "These things said Isaiah when he saw His glory and spoke of Him" (John xil, 41). Notice that the one whom Isaiah saw on the throne is called Lord (capital L, small ord), not the same as LORD in verses 3, 5, 12, where the name is all capitals. The former is "Adonal" my master, my proprietor, the one who owns me, whereas the latter is "Jehovah," the great "I am," who was and is and is to be the Creator as my Redeemer. If any mortal man owns us and he dies we may be in sore distress, but if the one whose we are and whom we serve is the ever living man on the throne then we will have peace always. It is a very great lesson to learn to see no man any more save Jesus only with ourselves (Mark 1x, 8.) Isaiah saw the seraphim close to the throne, whereas Ezekiel and John saw cherubim (Ezek. and Rev. iv. with Ezek. x, 20). We know from Rev. v, 9, 10, and the association of the cherubim with the mercy seat and the vail that they represent the glorified redeemed from among the nations. The seraphim may represent the same as they only, seraphim and cherubim, cry holy, holy. They look forward to and speak of the time when the earth shall be full of His glory. Covering face and feet with their wings suggests that it is not what we are or what we do that counts for anything, but with the wings that dy we must soar higher, even as on eagles' wings and behold only Himself. The face indicates character, what we are, and the feet our walk, what we do, but our only comfort is in what He is and what He does. The effect of this vision of the glory of the Lord upon the prophet was that he saw himself as wholly undone and unclean. This is what we need—such a vision of the beauty of the Lord that we shall forever hate and abhor ourselves and see ourselves as sinners in His sight, according to Isa. lixv, 6; Dan. x, 8; Rom. vii, 18; 3-19. Thus seeing ourselves we shall have no condemnation for other sinners, nothing but the compassion of Jesus Christ When there is this deep and thorough conviction of sin, then it is a short road to forgiveness and cleansing, for He came to save sinners, and His blood cleanseth from all sin. Note that heavenly agency does it all, iniquity is taken away, sin purged, the sinner is perfectly helpless, as were Adam and Eve when the Lord God made coats of skins and clothed them. It is our privilege to know that He has by Himself purged our sins and is now on the right hand of the Majesty on high (Heb. 1. 3). Then we are ready to hear the voice from the throne saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Notice the "T" and "us," the one living and true God in the three persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Was ever such a wonderful commission offered to mortals as to represent the Trinity before men? See in John xiv, 17, 23, how they are said to dwell in the believer and in II Cor. iv, 10, 11, that the life of Jesus is to be made manifest in these mortal bodies. We have only to yield and obey. The power is His, and the life is His, and the message is His, and He will take care of the results, and we are assured that He will not fall nor be discouraged (Isa. xiii, 4). It is ours to receive the message from Himself, receive His words in our hearts and then in His name "Go tell" (verse 9; Ezek. iii, 10, 11, 17). In the closing verses of the chapter the prophet was told that the message would not be received. So it was with Jeremiah and Ezekiel. They were warned that their messages would provoke great opposition, but they were to speak whether men would hear or not. See also Matt. x 16:18; John xv, 18, 19. TWIN CITY STAR GRACEFUL MODES. For Afternoon and Evening Wear Everything Is Gay and Picturesque. The new foulards which are so extensively used are more beautiful and varied than ever before. Polka dots and all over effects on plain grounds are seen as well as the bordered ones. The principal colors are black and white, blue and white and white and black. One of the most popular materials for waists is cotton marquisette, which is in every way excellent for this use, as it neither musses nor soils readily and is particularly soft and becoming, more so than the stiffer white materials. Salad green is one of the new colors for simple street costumes. An adaptation of peasant modes is seen in every department of dressmaking. 1 NEW PEASANT GOWN. ing.

FAVORITE FASHIONS. Blouses and Skirts Cut on the Early Nineteenth Century Lines. It is going to be a great cotton season, and cottones are going to be tolerated where formerly they have been prohibited. Self tones are seen on street dresses of woolen or of satin, and these are frequently brightened by the introduction of gay threads interspersed with gold or silver. The vast majority of models follow the kimono sleeve idea. In many instances there is a deep yoke fashioned on kimono lines, with a shallow lower section in bib form. Flowered satins are blossoming out in the stores. Hats covered with these A EMBROIDERED AND TUCKED BLOUSE fabrics, bands on skirts, linings for wraps and little fancy bags are fash- ioned of them.

Chief Clerk Was Once Office Boy Chief Clerk Was Once Office Boy Inspiration For Young Men in the Achievements of William T. Francis of Legal Department of Northern Pacific Railway at St. Paul—Lawyer, Politician and Prominent Citizen. By MAYMIB G. WILLIAMS. William T. Francis of the legal department of the Northern Pacific Railway company is one of the most prominent citizens of St. Paul, Minn. His rise from the duties of just a mere office boy to the very responsible position of trying cases for a large railroad corporation is a long step, but shows what determination and close application to business will do for one who takes advantage of every opportunity to attain success. After attending the public schools of St. Paul, Mr. Francis entered the services of the Northern Pacific Railway company as an office boy. See A. E. WILLIAM T. FRANCIS, ESQ. ing that to be successful he must be ready for advancement when the first opportunity presented itself, he applied himself to telegraphy and was in line for an appointment as telegraph operator. The chief clerk under whom he worked urged him to take up telegraphy, as there was a great demand for male stenographers in the service, and he mastered this study and was promptly given a remunerative position for which his knowledge of telegraphy, shorthand and the general routine work of the office qualified him. After continuing in that position for several years he was appointed stenographer of the legal department. Here he saw large opportunities for advancement and determined to work his way to the head of the clerical force if possible. Finding that the position of chief clerk of the department demanded the qualifications of an attorney with practical knowledge of the law, he entered the evening class of the St. Paul College of Law in 1901 and graduated from that institution in 1904 and in due course was advanced to the position of chief clerk. Mr. Francis is held in high esteem by the officials of the road. In 1906 he ran as Republican candidate for the assembly and received nearly 10,000 votes, which was indeed a splendid showing, considering the scarcity of Negro voters in St. Paul. Mr. Francis is also the attorney for the various Afro-American corporations of St. Paul. Besides the very arduous tasks of his office, he is also prominent in religious, political, social and fraternal circles. His rise from an office boy to the position of chief clerk in the legal department of the Northern Pacific Railway company should be an inspiration to any young man and shows that strict attention to duty, being ready when opportunity knocks at the door, always bring to an individual that for which he labors. Traymore Assembly's Reception. The sixteenth annual reception of the Traymore assembly recently held at Fitzgerald's auditorium, Atlantic City, N. J., was a grand success. Music for this special occasion was furnished by the Thomas orchestra. Professor F. C. O. Brown had charge of the social program. Cause of Railroad Firemen's Strike. The promotion of colored firemen on the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas railroad is said to be responsible for the recent strike of white firemen who seem not to be satisfied unless colored men are kept at work on the freight trains or given employment in freight yards. Brain knows no color, nor should the capacity to do skilled labor or to perform great intellectual tasks be judged by the color of a person's skin. As long as certain classes of white workmen spend their energy in trying to keep the colored man down so long will there be friction between the races. WOMAN. Not she with trait'rous kiss her Saviour stung. Not she denied him with unholy tongue; She, while apostles shrank, could danger brave. Last at his cross and earliest at his grave. —Eaton S. Barrett. It Has Come Again, Bringing In Elaborate Creations. 100 SASH OF FLOWERED RIBBON. When it was announced in Paris that fashion leaders had sanctioned the revival of sashes every girl who had an heirloom in the shape of an old embroidered sash congratulated herself, but, alas, while we are to have sashes it is "with a difference." The new sashes fasten snugly around the waist while the sash ends fall in all sorts of elaborate bows and folds. Some sashes are cut with double streamers like the one in the picture, which is of flowered ribbon and lace fringed with silk tassels. The new sash is quite as intricate as the jabot and needs the same trained hand to give it the proper finish. Sash and girdle arrangements are of many kinds. Big bows and long, wide scarf ends of black malines appear on some of the light hued models. The new velvet with taffeta back in color is effectively used for sash effects, a wide end in two loops lying flat, one over the other, but of different lengths, being a popular method of using the velvet ribbon or satin. This gives much the effect of the detached skirt panel and breaks the tight skirt line in the back without introducing any odd fancy. THE QUAKER MAID. Dainty Garb Imitated by the Damsels of Vanity Fair. For damsels who can look mild and demure Quaker-like fuchs are just the thing for wear over a neutral colored house dress. The one illustrated here was of fine linen lawn embroidered in eyelet work and bordered with a scant frill of valenciennes lace. Very popular is the fuchs of fine linen, lawn or net. It can be adjusted Mary EMBROIDERED FICHU. over a plain little dress of thin material, or it can grace a silk or satin gown for evening. It is folded around the shoulders, crossed in front and fastened at the back in a small butterfly fly or under a cabochon, from which a square flat court train falls. This fichu can be of plain linen, hem stitched and used in flat simplicity. Made From Towels. A simple and useful combined jacket or peignoir may be made from a good large towel. Divide it into four even parts, cut off two of these parts nearest the ends and sew them at right angles to the central portion. Sew tape where the pieces join to tie the peignoir on. From three crash dish towels you can make a sewing apron, turning up the bottom and stitching it into pockets. Ribbon strings complete the apron. A large embroidered towel will make a good bureau cover for summer. A line of drawn work will add to the appearance of a plain one used for the same purpose.

They should be. CANADA AND THE NEGROES. The development in the dominion Parliament at Ottawa of a decided sentiment, in favor of preventing negroes from being admitted into Can- anda indicates a radical change of sentiment among Canadians. The negro used to be welcomed in Canada, where fleeing slaves were cared for and protected. Until recently there was little or no discrimination against the negro anywhere in the dominion. ‘The recently developed prejudice appears to have been caused by the arrival at the boundary of several hundred prosperous negro farmers from Oklahoma who had practically been driven out of that state by dis- criminating laws. They were finally admitted, as they complied will all the rigid restriction of the Canadian immigration laws, and the Canadian authorities probably feared that the rejection of them would arouse feel- ing at Washington, as the negroes are citizens and entitled to all recognition accorded other citizens of the United States. . It is more than probable that the opposition to the negroes does not come so much from native Canadians as from former citizens of this coun- try who have settled in Western Can- ada, and have aroused new prejudice against negro neighbors, Apparently there is no place within the range of American influence where the negro can go and live in peace and white toleration. He apparently is destined to fight merciless race prejudice un- til his progress conquers it.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. While we acknowledge the forego- ing to be true, and are grateful for the sentiments expressed, it is also a fact that conditions of today in Canada were caused, in a great part by a criminal class of Negroes, who’ has within the last decade sees the settlers of even the Femotest | parts of the Dominion, and they have caused an ill feeling towards all’ others of their race on account of their modus operandi. The police de- partment is aware of the trouble given them by the so called sporting element. These men have invested the profits of their paramours, (the light fingered damsels of both races,) into Illegal enterprises, where they are sowing the seeds of sin, crime and vice. ‘The exclusion of such un- desirables by any nation is commend- able. These immoral trail-blazers have been the undoing of the Negro in Canada and everywhere else. Such representatives of our race as those who are now seeking homes in Canada, belong to our constructive element, “who by their rise and progress will overcome the barriers of prejudice and class legislation, which has been caused by that ex- ceptional few of our race who are taken as a criterion from which the Negro race as a people are judged.
