Defective Page SENATE PASSES ELECTIONS BILL Adopts Bristow Amendment for Federal Supervision. HOUSE MAY NOT FALL IN LINE Said Lower Branch Will Not Accept Change Made by the Upper House of Congress. Washington, June 13.—The senate, by a vote of 64 to 24, passed the resolution amending the Constitution to provide for the election of senators by direct popular vote. The Bristow amendment, giving to the federal government supervision of such elections, was adopted. The vote was 44 to 44 and the vice president cast the deciding ballot. The resolution for a constitutional amendment has passed the house and now will go back to that body for concurrence in the Bristow amendment. The amended resolution now goes into conference between the senate and house and some senators predicted that the house would refuse to accept it. Adoption of the Bristow amendment, which omitted the house provision transferring supervision of senatorial elections from congress to the state legislatures, was made possible by Mr. Clarke of Arkansas casting the only Democratic vote for the proposition. The tie on that ballot would have been prevented if his vote had been cast with his party, with whom he later voted on adoption of the resolution. On the resolution as amended the vote, 64 to 24, was six more than the necessary two-thirds majority. Sixteen Republican Negatives. Of the twenty-four negative votes eight were cast by Democrats and sixteen by Republicans. The debate soon drifted into a political affair. Democratic senators criticised Senator Bristow's change of attitude. In the last session the Kansas senator voted against an amendment offered by Senator Sutherland of Utah which would have had the same effect as his own provision of this session. Mr. Bristow said that in both instances his attitude had been dictated by his desire to do that which most certainly would insure the success of the popular election resolution. Mr. Davis of Arkansas, referring by name to Senators Cummins, Clapp and La Follette, declared "the insurgent crowd never have been sincere on any subject they have brought before the country." The chair called Mr. Davis to order. Mr. Cummins denied Mr. Davis' statement. Mr. Bacon aroused feeling by declaring that great interests had been bringing enormous pressure to bear to defeat the resolution and Senators Works, Guggenheim and Cummins refuted the allegation. Mr. Bacon explained that he was imputing no impropriety to any member.

STATE FEDERATION CONVEN- TION. The Seventh Annual Session of the Afro-American Women's State Federation of Minnesota will be held in Minneapolis on June 28th and 29th. COLORED MEN'S CHANCES IN THE SOUTH. There is not a city, town or village in the South where an industrious negro cannot obtain employment and receive fair treatment at the hands of his white neighbors. There is not the least doubt that the relations of the two races in the South are today vastly better than they were 10 years ago, and we believe it is due in large measure to the fact that the negroes are beginning to understand that those who have the kindest feeling and most sympathy for them are the white people among whom they have been born and reared.—New Orleans States. Messrs. Curtis Raymond and Earnest B. James, two well known musicians, will be heard with Prof. Johnson's Symphony Orchestra. Both are accomplished on several instruments.

When the possibilities of consistent advertising dawn upon the mind of the average Afro-American in business we shall see a new era of commercial achievements. In the preparation of these articles the writer has a twofold purpose, the one being to direct the attention of the Afro-American advertiser to the lack of the progressive and modern in the construction of his advertising copy, the other being to educate the readers to the necessity of reading advertisements with the same interest they manifest in the other departments of their papers and demanding that the advertiser fulfill his promises in a fair price, an efficient service and courteous treatment. The average advertisement of an Afro-American firm found in Afro-American papers is little more than a mere announcement that such and such a firm is in business. There is most always a lack of the real selling arguments we so much like to read, the real coming together, the real "personal touch." It is these points, backed by efficient service, that give the dependable organization. I hope to see the time when colored firms in each locality will be clamoring for commanding space in their weeklies to tell their story to the public. Then we may be sure that the day of material progress is with us. UPHOLDS CONSTITUTION. Judge Cotteral Overrules "Grandfather Clause" in Oklahoma Constitution. It is refreshing as well as encouraging to Afro-Americans throughout the country to know that there still sit men in our courts of justice, legislatures and other lawmaking and law enforcing departments who are honest and who rule according to law instead of color prejudice. Holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution of Oklahoma invalid because it is in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution, Judge John H. Cotteral of the United States district court has overruled the demurrer of defendants in the case of the United States versus J. J. Beal and Frank Guinn, D. W. Jeffries and Willard Smith, election officers. To make the subjection of certain individuals to the "educational test" dependent on their condition before 1866 would make it dependent on their race and color is Judge Cotteral's decision. The "grandfather clause" exempts from the "educational test" those entitled to vote on Jan. 1, 1866, or residents of a foreign country. Under this clause colored men were denied the right to vote. GREAT BAPTIST REUNION. To Be Held In Second Baptist Church, Everett. Wash. July 14. The Baptist denomination of the far west is arranging to hold a great reunion in Everett, Wash., in July. The sessions of the gathering will be held in the Second Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. L. Murray is the pastor in charge, beginning on Friday, July 14. The growth of the denomination in the west during the past ten years has been phenomenal. Among the able ministers who have settled in the west within recent years are the Rev. Dr. J. A. Dennis, formerly of Baltimore; Rev. William Perry and the Rev. S. G. Wilson, who is one of the prime movers in the coming reunion. The Rev. J. P. Brown has the distinction of holding the longest pastorate of any minister of the race in the far west. The educational sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. R. H. Thomas, pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Portland, Ore. Generous Sums Given For Education. At the meeting of the general education board held in New York the last week in May out of an appropriation of $634,000 distributed among white and colored schools about $10,000 went to each of the following schools for the Afro-Americans—viz.

It may not be generally known, but nevertheless it is a fact that a colored man presides at the throttle of an engine that pulls one of the fastest trains on the Pennsylvania Lines west of Pittsburg. His name is Wm. G. Burnes of Indianapolis, Indiana. He runs between that city and Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Burnes has been in the employ of the company for over thirty-five (35) years. He began as a section hand and was advanced from one grade of service to another as he increased in skill and efficiency until he was promoted to a passenger engineer about twenty years ago. It is said that some of the most successful white engineers of today owe their training to the careful teaching of this man. Moreover he has the reputation of being quite a student and is well informed on subjects of general interest.

Hall gets his certificate for a special course in the industrial arts from Carnegie technical schools. Aspiration of George W. A. Scott. No event, however, in college circles thus far has created greater enthusiasm among the masses of the race than the winning of the Curtis medal by George W. A. Scott at the recent oratorical contest at Columbia university. Mr. Scott was born in Lynchburg, Va. He received his elementary training in the country schools of Virginia and West Virginia. Taking up his residence in New York in 1898, Mr. Scott attended the public school and the Morris high school before entering Columbia university. He took several prizes in the elementary schools for excellence in his A. S. GEORGE W. A. SCOTT. studies, conduct and attendance, having gone for four years without being absent or late. He is vice president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the only national colored fraternity in the United States. In high school he was in athletics and was an officer in the association glee club and for four years president of the Acorn Literary society. Besides editing the school annual, he held several other important offices. In his senior year he won first prize, a gold medal, for oratory. In college he was a member of the debating club for the freshman class. In 1910 he won second prize in the Curtis medals contest. The decision was so close that many declared that he should have been awarded first place. This year he was awarded the first prize, a gold medal. The judges decided in Mr. Scott's favor in less than ten minutes. It is Mr. Scott's ambition to become an instructor in some one of the higher institutions of learning for Afro-Americans, as he believes himself especially fitted to be of great service to the race along this line. He is fond of history, political government and the higher sciences. He is young, full of life and eager to be of service to other young and aspiring youths who are making the upward struggle in life. Charles Fred White's Fine Record. As an athlete Charles Fred White, University of Pennsylvania, law, '12, has accomplished wonders within the past seven years. Here is his record: Class and varsity track teams (high jump and broad jump), Phillips Exeter academy, 1903-4; class football team, Exeter academy, 1904-5; class basketball team, (winner in ten different events in one afternoon), Williston seminary, 1906-7; all round (Kennedy medal) champion track and field athlete, Williston, June, 1907; champion broad jump and record holder, Amherst College Interscholastic association, June, 1907; champion high jump and field athlete, Amherst College Interscholastic association, June, 1908; freshman and varsity track team (best freshman broad jump and largest point winner), U. of P., 1909-10-11; joint holder of A.

Members Make Grand Effort to Meet Conditional Offer of $250. The work of the Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of the Court Street Methodist Episcopal church in Bedford City, Va., is commendable. Through the generous aid of members of the church and friends the church debt has been reduced to $1,841. An effort is now being made to raise $350 to meet a conditional gift of $250. The $350 rally was held on Sunday, June 4. Over $221 was raised by the members alone, and when full reports are all in from friends and wellwishers it is hoped that the demands of the conditional offer may be fully met. Those conversant with conditions in the country districts in the south can readily understand what a tremendous sacrifice this struggling congregation is making to free the church property of debt. Subscriptions may be sent to Mr. William H. Terry, Bedford City, Va., who will gladly acknowledge the same by sending a duly signed receipt to the donor. WOMEN WORK FOR UPLIFT. Clubs In South Carolina to Meet In Columbia June 22. The women of South Carolina who are engaged in or in any way interested in club work will have a chance to be heard at the forthcoming convention of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, which meets in Columbia for three days, beginning on Thursday, June 22. Mrs. Carrie B. Perry, president of the federation, invites all clubs not members of the organization to elect delegates to the convention, with instructions to join the central body, thereby making one strong organization of women who shall work hand in hand for the general and mutual uplift of womanhood. Delegates may secure accommodation in advance by sending their names to Mrs. Mary Maree, secretary, Bamburg, S. C. DR. COOPER'S FINE RECORD. Made Presiding Elder After Successful Pastorate In Brooklyn. In retiring from the pastorate of the Bridge Street A. M. E. church in Brooklyn, where he has pastored for the past five years, the Rev. Dr. A. R. Cooper made the following report of what he has accomplished during his administration: Conversions, 179; accessions, 1,002; baptisms, 134; deaths, 106; missionary money, $652.45; total money raised from all purposes, $38,390.26. Beside this splendid record the church has been renovated, is free from debt, and over $2,000 has been paid on the parsonage. Dr. Cooper is now presiding elder of the Albany (N. Y.) district of the New York conference of the A. M. E. denomination. Why Higher Education is Necessary. Our people are making appreciable headway in their educational development, in their religious growth and in the acquisition of Industrial skill, says Southern Life, a high class monthly magazine published at Atlanta, Ga. The conviction is irresistible with us that the Negro should now begin to seek expert training in commerce and literature. It is high time that we endeavor to bring on a much more rapid development along these two lines if we are to win an unassailable position of eminence along with the other great races, win those "heights by great men reached and kept." Baking Company Formed in Dallas. There has recently been organized in Dallas, Tex., a new business venture known as the Colored Baking company, with the following persons as officers: D. W. Whitaker, president; A. R. Pryor, vice president, and J. A. Lane, secretary. The concern is backed by several prominent men of Dallas and vicinity. May success attend their efforts to give the people well cooked bread and plenty of it in due season. TWIN CITY STAR TROTTER PLEADS FOR SQUARE DEAL In a Forceful and Analytical Address Before Bethel Literary and Historical Association In Washington Noted Boston Editor Says Caste System Is Spreading In America. By F. H. M. MURRAY. Washington-In the long and brilliant history of the famous Bethel Literary and Historical association of Washington no season, certainly none in recent years, has been more notable than the one which will close within a few weeks. The season was opened by the leading literary man of the race, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. It 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 thoughtful and cultured people, and the handling of the subject was worthy of the audience, the literary and the reputation of the speaker. Mr. Trotter is a graduate of Harvard university, where he made a brilliant record, and, though not usually regarded as an orator, he proved to be fully capable of creditibly representing on the platform his famous alma mater and also his 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 in this country which serve to demonstrate that a caste system based on color has already been established, in the south at least, and that a determined effort is 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 Ewing, a native southern white man, which laid bare the "Heart of the Race Problem," which is the title of Rev. Mr. Ewing's book. This "heart," he showed, is nothing more nor less than a determination to establish and maintain a caste based on color alone; hence, if this attempt succeeds, neither the acquisition of wealth nor of education will avail to break the "color line." He urged that every effort be made to block the passage of laws having that end in view wherever proposed. He showed that the matter of color caste was deeper than mere sentiment; that it reached further than the matter of social intermingling; that the "color line" once drawn would be and now is extended far beyond matters social or even civil and proves a barrier 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 employments, and that even if natural competence could under such a system be acquired by an exceptional few it would not permit its enjoyment or profitable use. He warned against giving heed and countenance to those speciously seek to justify or condone this disabling menace and pleaded for unrelenting war against the "thin wedge" of color segregation, seeking to gain entrance where "the line" is not now drawn, through "separate" philanthropic institutions of a semipublic character, such as the Y. M. C. A. and "social settlements." Mr. Trotter received an almost unprecedented tribute of approval at the close of his address, which was calm, analytical and argumentative. He was followed briefly by Hon. Joseph Manning of Alabama, who was introduced as "the white garrison of the south." characterization he well deserves. General Andrew Burt, U. S. A., retired, who commanded the Twenty-fifth infantry, also spoke briefly and testified to his high regard for the colored people as exemplified by his regiment. He scored those of our own grace who advised an attitude of submission and insisted that, like all other oppressed and exploited classes now existing and who have preceded us, "if satisfied with a little you will surely get less." The celebrated Amphion Glee club, Professor J. Henry Lewis, director, added not a little to the enjoyableness of the occasion. Journalistic Changes in New York. The consolidation of the Yonkers Standard and the New Rochelle (N. Y.) League Journal into one strong weekly paper and the absorbing of the New York Advocate by the Amsterdam News, coupled with the present apparent financial distress of the great New York Age, are the latest developments in Afro-American journalism in the Empire State of the North. ODD FELLOWS' FIELD DAY. Philadelphia Companies Victors In Competitive Drill For Silk Flag. The annual field day exercises of the now famous Third regiment, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, recently held in Atlantic City, was a glowing success. Colonel P. H. Edwards was in command and carried out the program to the satisfaction of all concerned. He was re-elected for the sixth successive year. Led by Patriarchie No. 1 of Philadelphia, the grand street parade was made up of the following in the first division: Patriarchie No. 2, New York; No. 5, Huntington Pa.; No. 20, Williamsport, Pa.; No. 25, Carlisle, Pa.; No. 78, Atlantic City, N. J.; No. 80, Marietta, Pa.; No. 124, Princeton, N. J.; No. 53, Wilkesbarre, Pa.; No. 137, Camden, N. J.; No. 167, Chambersburg, Pa.; No. 20, Wilmington, Del., and regiment No. 2 of Philadelphia. The second division was as follows: Prudent Penn Ladies' auxiliary, Philadelphia; No. 2, New York, and Ladies' auxiliary of Patricliech 7, Atlantic City; Defiance Fife and Drum corps, Philadelphia; Past Grand Masters' council No. 1, Philadelphia; Liberty Fife and Drum corps, Atlantic City; Patricliech, John Jackson marshal, Atlantic lodge, oceanic lodge, Pacific lodge and Drum corps, Atlantic third division-Patricliech, T. H. Buckner, marshal; Major Henry Marshall; Atlantic Household of Ruth, Leah household, Pacific household and Naomi household and juveniles. The competitive drill was held on Young's pier. The successful winners of prizes, a handsome silk American flag, were Patrilarchie No. 1, Philadelphia, first prize, and Ladies' auxiliary, Philadelphia, first prize. Professor Julian Franklin and ten assistants directed the grand march and dance program for over 500 couples at a time. Among the citizens of the resort who assisted the local committee in entertaining the visitors were Mr James Ottery, Stafford Bros.; Elks lodge No. 9, Harry Scott, Ben Allen and the Atlantic City Weekly Topic office force, where the headquarters were located. Edward Bailey, chairman of the music and reception committee, had charge of the arrangements at the pier. HONOR COLORED SOLDIERS. Nine Picked Cavalrymen at Coronation of King George V. Attached to the Fifteenth United States cavalry in the great pageant attending the coronation ceremonies of King George V. in London are nine colored cavalrymen under the command of Major F. S. Foltz. They are Sergeant E. Scott, Corporal W. Frierson, Privates William Bailey, W. A. Chaney, S. Wright, Elder Green, J. Rutledge, H. Jefferson and B. D. Price. They are expert marksmen and bear medals won in contests for skill. The coronation festivities literally began on Monday, June 12, and will continue through till Saturday, June 24. The number of Americans in attendance is variously estimated at from 120,000 to 150,000. Hon. John Hays Hammond is the special ambassador to the coronation from the United States. INFLUENCE OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDENING. Work of Organization Ably Presented by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The good influence and work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People are rapidly spreading throughout the country. During the latter half of May Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, director of the publicity department of the association and editor of the Crisis, traveled thousands of miles and addressed thousands of people. Among the cities visited were Wheeling, W. Va., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Denver and Colorado Springs. Dr. Du Bols is now in London filling engagements prior to the meeting of the first universal race congress, which convenes on Tuesday, July 25. The distinguished scholar will be entertained at dinner by the Lyceum club in London on Monday, June 28. The club had arranged this function in honor of Dr. Du Bols in March, but as he could not be present it was put off until the time above mentioned. The races congress will continue four days. There will be several sessions held daily, affording opportunity for each race to be heard through its special representative. Dr. Du Bols will speak for the colored people of America. The gathering will be a notable one. Its object is already attracting worldwide attention. Over thirty American colored persons will be present at the sessions of the congress. Advantages of Boydton Institute. Should Boydton institute reopen its doors next fall it would rejoice the hearts of many who were cut off from suitable educational advantages when the school closed a year ago. The institution is splendidly located and has a large surrounding territory from which to get its supply of students. Boydton, Va., is an old aristocratic town. It has railroad facilities which have greatly enhanced its value as a business center within recent years. Encouraging Financial Report: The statistical report of Secretary W. H. Stokes of the Baptist General association of Virginia, which was recently held in Richmond, Va., showed that $2,233.78 had been collected during the year for home missions, $2,961.60 for foreign missions and $7,889.36 for education. The total amount raised for all purposes was $13,081.75. The association has a combined membership of 157,574. 一 STUDENTS TOLD HOW TO SUCCEED Dr. J. F. Fitschen Speaks at Mary Potter School. Commencement Exercises of Well Known Institution In Oxford, N. C., Attended by Visitors From Several States—What Young Women Must Know Before Graduating. By GEORGB F. KING. Oxford, N. C. "Duty and the Privilege of Service" was the subject of the address of Rev. J. F. Fitschen, Jr., of Ithaca, N. Y., at the recent graduating exercises of Mary Potter Memorial school, Dr. George C. Shaw principal. Rev. Mr. Fitschen is pastor of one of the leading Presbyterian churches in the Empire State. His presence and philosophical manner of reaching the problems which will confront any graduate first entering the world of affairs inspired his audience. He in part said: "Work is the divine appointment and service for others the highest honor. The world doesn't owe us a living, but we owe it the best service we can render and not because we have to, but because it is our voluntary choice to qualify for such service demanding training in any line—for example, be a good farmer or a skilled mechanic. And those who had special opportunity for such training ought to pass it on to others. "Promotion and honor come to those who are doing any present duty in the worthiest way as graduates of such an institution as this, and you will be marked men and women among your own people and your neighbors if your ideal and aim are to do your work, whatever it may be, in the best possible way and with an ambition to be of larger service, and you will know the truest success in life and THE NURSE CLASS IN DOMESTIC SCIENCE your teacher and friends will never have occasion to be disappointed in you." The annual sermon was delivered by Dr. G. Dillard of Goldsboro, N. C. This institution's curriculum is such that it prepares a student for college and a life of usefulness. Its graduates are potent examples of well rounded students, and they are found in various professions and institutions of higher education, making a record reflecting credit upon this school in the Pledmont section of North Carolina. A pertinent feature of the school is that no girl can graduate who cannot make her graduating dress. The literary department is equal to that of the best schools doing preparatory work, and every phase of training for the development of the student that is possible for the school to give is in evidence at this school. Its influence has helped white people residing in the community, and the principal is encouraged by them because it aims to make its student body a factor in the activities of life. Dr. Shaw is a graduate of Lincoln university and of Auburn Theological school, which is considered to be one of the leading schools for theologs in the Presbyterian church. This training has given him such broadness that the school is being conducted so that it will not be prescribed by any fad, but for the purpose of training a person for the work which he or she is best fitted by nature to do. The commencement week was quite an event in this section. Visitors from various states were present. Plank For Next Republican Platform. The Pythian Monitor thinks that in order to win in 1912 the Republican party should base its campaign on human rights and fair play for the man farthest down, regardless of race, color or previous condition. Thus is written the first plank in the next national Republican platform. A. Points For Mothers Plenty of Bleep. From the age of five to seven twelve hours of sleep are necessary, and until nine years of age there should be eleven hours, which length of time should be continued until the age of fourteen, when the sleep may be reduced to ten hours. Children of a nervous, sensitive disposition might be allowed an even longer time, as should children of all ages when body growth seems specially rapid. Even the time of year makes a difference to the amount of sleep required, and all children should be allowed to sleep longer during winter than during the summer. Children who suffer from great drowsiness need medical attention. Slight drowsiness demands attention to the state of the bowels, which may be constipated. Great wakefulness is likewise a serious matter and may be the beginning of brain trouble. With regard to the bed, it is worth while to make an effort for each child to sleep alone, and on no account should a young child be allowed to sleep with a very old person. A Child's Diet. The famous French dietician, Gautier, is on record as saying that after the first three years of a child's life the addition of muscular tissue may and ought to be given to him in a very moderate quantity. Roast mutton or lamb, beef, minced ham, eggs in all styles, creams and rice, vermicellil in soup, butter, thoroughly cooked fruits, stewed potatoes, green vegetables and cocoa—all of these are suitable. He states that the exclusive use of milk tends to make fat, lymphatic, puffy children, capable of standing little. This is further accentuated by the abuse of sweetened dishes. It is also necessary at this age to avoid giving foods which are highly seasoned and too much salted. Fat fish (herring and salmon), dry fish (salted or smoked), mushrooms, crustacea or vinegar and spices, dry, raw, unripe or too acid fruits are unsuitable. Fermented cheese, alcoholic liquors of all descriptions and coffee and tea should not be allowed. The Mollycoddled Baby. A truly beautiful baby looks beautiful under any circumstances—either in winter's cold or summer's heat. Rigors of climate improve it. It is not like the coddled child, which has its special day. Scientific rearing includes, among other paraphernalia, the feeding bottle with its measured ounces of special foods. Bottle feeding spoils the looks of a baby. Several leading authorities have agreed that sucking the india rubber mouthpiece or "comfortor" disorganizes the muscles of the face. It develops some of them abnormally and is also liable to change the shape of the lips and the angle of the jaw. The mechanical life of the scientifically reared baby is unnatural, and when dealing with babies it is safe to assert that anything unnatural is wrong. Mechanical action of organs that are strengthened and improved by constant changes cannot possibly make for beauty. Making Home Pleasant. The young cannot bear restraint. Remember that the evening is an "off" time, and do not "provoke" your children. Let them know that they are free to do what they like—within certain limits—and home will be as good as a club. If possible, set apart a room for the boys where they may be alone if they want to and where they can pursue any hobby which pleases them. If they are sitting with you do not exercise your mind to find jobs for them. Some people like to loaf. It is their way of restoring energy. Do not interfere with their amusements unless absolutely bad. Better they should pursue them in your home than out of it. Injurious Exercise. The way babies are jumped about and made to "show off" is a sad sight to the mother who has studied the art of physical culture. Every time that a baby is made to exercise its brain it is parting with a portion of energy which it will need in after life. Even the frolic of daddy should be given with caution and in small doses. If a child is taught to lie quietly in its cradle you will be surprised to find how long it will amuse itself looking at one toy or just looking about. Some people cannot take a child in their arms without dancing it in the air or indulging in the idiotic practice of actually tossing it. Children and Servants. Never encourage children to tell tales of servants, as they are only too ready to use this power as a means of obtaining their own ends. On the other hand, never let a servant punish a child without first appealing to the mistress. A maid who is found slapping or shaking a child should be spoken to very severely, for these ill considered punishments make the little one lose caste in his own eyes and tend to destroy his self respect.

R., was held in St. Paul this week. Each re-union shows a decrease in the ranks of the veterans. Each face of the noble wearers of the W. R. C. badges recalls the deeds of the immortal Harriet Beecher Stowe. These grand characters are swiftly passing. Let us honor the remaining few, not those who fought for bounty alone, but, those who fought for a cause that they knew was right—for a cause that needed their assistance—for the honor and glory of this Nation, which they sacrificed their lives to defend in war, and dedicated their enquiry to upbuild in peace. Judge Leary Orders Investigation. We commend the action of Judge W. C. Leary of the Municipal Court who held Mr. John McDonald, the proprietor of the Elgin Lunch Room, for an investigation by the Grand Jury on a charge of refusing to serve a Negro. We have a right to be proud of our judges of every branch of the courts, anl if we act well our part as citizens, and appeal to the courts of justice, we feel that we will be given our rights, through our impartial judiciary, who believe in EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X. Alderman Mehan secured the withdrawal of the permit for the Negro Street Fair—on the grounds that Rev. Malone did not represent the Negroes. Who told him this? Rev.

GLAPP EFFACES COLOR LINE BAN Minnesota Senator Believes Negroes Will Yet Attain Equality With the White Race. REPLIES TO BAILEY'S SPEECH. In Glowing Rhetoric He Tells Colored People Artificial Limitations and Strife Will Vanish. (Dispatch Washington Bureau.) Washington, June 7.—Washing out the color line and, throwing down the gauntlet to Senator Bailey, whose passionate eulogy of Jefferson Davis seemed to be his target, Senator Clapp of Minnesota delivered a notable address in the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist church last night on "The Opportunity of the Black Man." He threw aside the veil of the future and saw the negro on a plane of equality with the white man; he saw artificially imposed limitations and racial strife vanish in the light of a new era. As he painted these things in glowing rhetoric and firm conviction, his audience, largely composed of negroes, chered wildly. He eulogized Lincoln, in contrast to Senator Bailey's tribute to Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy; he denounced slavery, "permanent bondage, and servitude," in contrast to the Texan's statement that "the truth of history lies on the Confederate side." His reply to Senator Bailey could not have been more complete, or more obviously planned as a reply, had he attempted to reply to the Southerner categorically. "The black man is surrounded by many limitations," said Senator Clapp, "and it is his problem, if he wishes to be recognized on a plane of equality with the white man, to grasp every opportunity for development, and advancement. "God never made any race for permanent bondage and servitude to other and in the tomorrows to come, your descendants will glory in the triumph accomplished through your efforts today. There is absolutely nothing in the limitations of color to prevent the black man from being fully as honest, sober, industrious, and of as much service to the community and nation as the white man." A. B. MINNESOTA'S CHOICE. For Minister to Haytl. THE WRECK OF THE COLUM- BIAN. Four Walters Killed, Unknown by Their Employers. The officials of the Milwaukee Road are reluctant to divulge any information about the wreck of the Columbian on May 29 when 4 waiters, were killed. We have asked the highest officials in the Twin Cities and they denied any knowledge of the ill-fated occurrence. Even the commissary agent does not know the names of the crew of the dining car. We are calling the attention to the authorities at Washington to this lack of interest on the part of the officials. The waiters were made to sleep in the dynamo-baggage car up ahead and this action alone is contributory negligence. There has been casualties on the Soo Ry. and the officials have always given all information to the public, especially to the Negroes, and they are respected for so doing. But the Milwaukee will have to change their ways of handling their Negro waiters just as they have changed their sleeping quarters. Although they manage to keep these happenings out of the dallies whenever possible, we shall at all times demand all necessary information about the Negroes employed by any railroad whenever the public wishes to be informed. Therefore we intend to give you notice of our rights which according to law, you are bound to respect. Those of our ministers who were "drawn in" to the Negro Street Fair proposition, have "drawn out." Now, its the Negro Street Exposition, and they say that exposures caused their withdrawals.

BOGIE, Fashionable Tailor The Magic will not burn or injure the hair, because the comb is never heated. The steel heat bar which irons the hair, is alone, put into the flame of the alcohol or gas heater. The comb is heated for a few minutes, after the bar is heated the comb goes back into place and is held by a turn of the handle. The Magic Heater is also suitable for curling irons, has a cover and can be carried in a hand bag. Magic Shampoo Drier $1.00. Magic Alcohol Heater $5.50. Liberal terms to agents.
