THE LAYMENS MOVEMENT. This movement was presented to the men of our church on last Monday eve. by Mr. Richter of the First Baptist church, followed by a splendid repast served by the Ladoes' Aid Society. The speaker gave a flowing account of the work, urging Pilgrim to do her share in helping to redeem the world, in this 20th century. The idea is systematic giving to church needs, and there is a crying need of a system in the handling of the business of all our churches. "Missions" is the slogan of the Laymens' movement, and aside from current expense, missions cover everything. Everyone expressed themselves as satisfied that we should without delay take hold of and further the up-building of the Masters Kingdom, realizing that Pilgrim should do her part in the Evangelization, and Christianizing of the World.

Neted Agitator and Defender of Human Rights Says Colored Citizens in North May Yet Be Instrument Through Which Liberty Shall Come to Both Races in the South. Boston.—In explaining his mission in the north the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Birmingham, Ala., in a masterly speech which he recently delivered in Cambridge, Mass., before a large and representative audience, said in part: For several weeks my time has been given and my efforts have been devoted to a campaign of publicity in the New England states, having in view no other purpose than that of doing my utmost to cause those who hear and those who read my addresses to become possessed with facts relating to southern conditions which, in my opinion, the country is entitled to have and which the country might not have, perhaps, if it were left to some other time or to some other person to take up this work. My object in inaugurating this campaign in this section you will very readily perceive when I say to you that what I seek to do is to arouse the north to the conditions in the south as the first and best possible thing to do to force discussion upon the south. What I say in the north is not only heard in the north, but it goes into the south. Public opinion is, after all, the creative and the sustaining force in our government. We must rely upon public sentiment and we must appeal to public sentiment, to the intelligence and to the conscience of the American people, if we would uphold the right and restrain the wrong. Hence my presence here this evening to give voice to facts which I believe fully justifies this fight that I am making to cause this southern situation to have a foremost place in political discussion in this country at this time. There has been, I-grant you, an indifference to the issues arising from the south for many of these in recent years, but the American people will become astounded at the consequences growing out of this indifference when the country does come to an intelligent grasp of the present situation. Hinton Rowan Helper, in that wonderful book "The Impending Crisis," gave to the country striking facts about the repressed south in his time, the south of slavery, but never did the slave owning planter, the political and social aristocracy, more masterly drive the majority of whites and repress all else before its arrogant authority as does this present regime in the south overpower and overcome and overweave human rights and human liberty. Can it be true that the colored race is so dull to its power to create public sentiment, through its power to exercise its strength in the north as a restraining force against the oppression of their race in the south, that it can be thus quited to acquiesce in the disfranchisement and lynching of their people in the south by the mere appointment to federal office of a colored man? It is an insult to every intelligent colored citizen in this country to suppose for a moment that a federal appointment would offset their just protestation as against this indifference to the wholesale disfranchisement and brutal lynching of their race. I do not wish to be considered in the attitude, either, of making an attack upon the president. It is my opinion that the attitude of the president to the Negro people will be the same as is his attitude to other people in this country when the president has become convinced that the Negro in this nation is yearning not for federal jobs, but for his political rights under the American constitution and for the protection of the liberty and life of his race in the south. It may be, under Providence, that the Negro of the north, some of them up from the oppression of serfdom in the south, may yet come to exercise a peaceful influence in helping to bring a full fruition of liberty to the south and that the colored man shall be able to repay the white man of the north, who helped him to freedom, by so standing for justice for the south as will bring liberty to the whites as well as the downtrodden blacks of the south.

Of course she took offence at the owner's presentation of her account and she wanted a bill sent on the first of the month. We think she has a reputation for paying her bills at her appointed time. We publish this paper for the convenience of every one, and we admire her consideration, but if she intends to use this publication without pay, we shall make a public illustration of her contracts, etc., which is within our rights, and thereby educate the (m)asses, who may afterwards find the Star somewhat inconvenient.

POTENT AGENCY IN RACE WORK Encouraged by Signs of Good Omega, the League Adds New Recruits For the Broadening of Its Work—Big Preparations For Next Annual Meeting In Boston Aug. 28. The National Independent Political league is composed of organizations and individuals of the race in various parts of the country who believe that colored Americans ought to use their ballots to secure to the people every right guaranteed them under the constitution of the United States. The league stands for men and measures rather than for any particular political party. It contends for equal rights and opportunities for all American citizens. It was very active in the congressional and gubernatorial campaigns of 1910, and each one of the five gubernatorial candidates it especially supported was elected, while seventeen of the twenty-five congressmen it worked for won out in said election. This organization has kept constantly before the minority party the advisability of treating the colored voters with fairness and justice, assuring said party that if it prove itself to be in favor of according to the race all the rights guaranteed colored men under the constitution, it may expect in future elections the support of large numbers of manly and intelligent colored men throughout the country especially in the north and west. This presentation of the case by the league has had considerable weight with numerous members of the lower branch of congress, and has served, up to the present, to prevent the passage by the United States house of representatives of inimical to the ATTORNEY N. B. MARSHALL. of many measures rights of the race. These are hopeful signs and portend only good for the colored American voter who uses his ballot for the advancement of his race rather than for the securing of petty offices under the national government. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the league held in Washington, Bishop Alexander Walters resigned the presidency of the league, as his duties as presiding bishop over the A. M. E. Z. church in the West India islands and in West and South Africa made it necessary for him to be absent from America a large part of each year. Mr. J. R. Clifford of Martinsburg, W. Va., a prominent lawyer, veteran editor, successful politician, fearless contender for the rights of the race and a Grand Army man of note, was elected to take the place of Bishop Walters as head of the league. The Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Louisville, Ky., was elected a member of the executive committee for Kentucky and Hon. J. PRESIDENT J. R. CLIFFORD. T. C. Newsom was elected executive committeeman for the District of Columbia. N. B. Marshall, Esq., a graduate of Harvard university and a practicing attorney in New York city, was elected financial secretary and superintendent of leagues. W. H. Harris, Esq., a leading business man of Washington, was elected assistant national organizer, Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett and Mrs. J. E. Givens were appointed organizers of women's auxiliaries for Illinois and Kentucky, respectively, and the league decided to hold its next annual meeting in Boston, Aug. 28, 29 and 30. Attorney N. B. Marshall was employed to give his entire time to the work of organizing local leagues and advancing the interests of the parent body. From reports which have reached the national organizer, Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, it appears that a large number of leading men of the race are preparing to attend the Boston meeting. TAX-PAYERS ATTENTION.

Why the Negroes were not represented in the Civic parades—is a question often asked and easily answered—It was because they have no organizations, and their lack of interest is due to their so-called leaders. They have no civic pride or their race's welfare at heart, but are satisfied to be recognized by the white element as our representatives. Afro-American Protective League. The Afro-American Protective league of Oklahoma, which has for its object the emigration of colored people from the United States to Africa in large numbers, ought to breathe easier since Judge Cottera's decision against the "grandfather clause" in the state constitution.

MUSIC EVERY EVENING [ ] [ ] [ ] Defective Pag Defective Page HITCHCOCK HAS POSTAL SURPLUS Congress Is Likely to Adjourn Soon After Vote Is Had on Important Bills—House Will Pass Tariff Measures if Senate Will Accept Them, Declares Leader Underwood. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, July 28—[Special.]—There seems to be little doubt that congress will adjourn soon after the bills scheduled to be voted on are out of the way. Of course the house has it in its power to compel the senate to remain, and, while there has been talk about staying here and passing tariff bills, it is almost certain that defeat of the tariff bills in the senate or by veto of the president will be all that the Democrats of the house will want to bring about an adjournment. "If these bills are passed by the senate," remarked Leader Underwood, "we will continue to send over the different schedules." It is possible to wind up the session by Aug. 10. Postal Surplus. "Postmaster General Hitchcock has accomplished more than any of his predecessors," declares a paper which is always friendly to the administration, and then it tells about the surplus which has been accumulated. These statements are not particularly gratifying to Messrs. Meyer, Cortelyou and Wynne, who were Hitchcock's immediate predecessors, especially as it is understood that the surplus has been accumulated by cutting off a number of postal facilities which the people have heretofore enjoyed. For instance, where there were three deliveries of mail there are now but two, and other curtailments have been made in proportion. Complaints have been caused by this, but after the people become accustomed to the new order of things they may be satisfied. Shy Two Votes. Democrats of the senate are shy two votes by reason of the failure of the Colorado legislature to elect and the determination of Hoke Smith of Georgia not to qualify until next December. The minority party does not like this state of affairs. There are oftentimes very close votes in the senate, and two votes might turn the scale. If Colorado had been represented the Democrats would have had their way on the resolution for the direct election of senators and would have defeated the Bristow amendment. On other votes the Democrats, with certain Republicans voting with them, would have been successful with a full representation. The "Extra Month." There are thirteen months in every year for the congressional employees. Every year a provision is carried in one of the appropriation bills for an "extra month's salary." Two years ago a second "extra month" was given these employees because congress had three sessions. Now an attempt is being made to put over a second "extra month" for the present special session, in face of the fact that salaries of congressional employees continue during the long vacations of congress, whether they are employed or resting. "Queer Things." "We see some queer things here," remarked Senator Heyburn of Idaho one day when he was addressing the senate and there was scarcely any one giving him attention and few senators were present. "The only thing I have not seen yet that I think would be a novelty would be to see some senator go out while he was speaking. Every other phase of neglect and dilatory tactics has been presented in connection with this legislation." He was speaking of the reciprocity bill. "To the Victors Belong the Spoils." Leaders on both sides of the house were playing petty politics with each other by making charges and countercharges and asking questions designed to be embarrassing. "Why were you so prompt in appointing committees if you were not going to do anything?" asked Payne. "One reason was we wanted to get the Republican incumbents out of their places," frankly answered Fitzgerald. "That is committee patronage," said Mann. "That was just a grab job." "I merely wanted to say." Injected Rucker of Missouri, "that if the purpose of appointing committees was to give the Democrats patronage somebody has forgotten something." This raised a laugh, for Rucker was even denied a clerk for his committee, which has been very active during the session. Insurgents Lined Up. For months the insurgents in the senate were blamed for delaying the Canadian reciprocity bill. As if to refute the assertion three Republican insurgents took the floor one day, and two, Brown and Works, supported the measure, while a third, Kenyon, said he did not believe it was very harmful, but would vote against it because the farmers feared it. SENATORS LIKE ELECTION LAW With a Wealthy Man In the Fight Thousands of Dollars Have Been Used In Many States—Senate and House Engage in Debates Solely to Hold Attention to Their Efforts. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, July 27.—[Special.]—Many senators and representatives welcome a drastic law preventing large contributions to campaigns and also limiting the expenditures which any man may make in a contest either for the election or the primary. Beyond question several southern senators were induced to vote for limiting expenses and including primaries in the national law so that they would have an excuse to escape the strikers and heels, who make life a burden to them during every campaign. Primaries in a number of southern states have been very expensive. In one state a senator was chosen without the expenditure of a dollar, while his colleague, with a rich opponent, paid out more than $20,000. The primary elections in Florida have been very expensive, and the same is true of several other states when rich men are in the field. How They Demand Money. Whenever there is a primary election for a senator every organization which wants money writes to the senatorial candidates. Usually a dozen or twenty tickets to a fair or entertainment are sent to the candidates requesting payment at 50 or 25 cents each. Tickets are sent from churches, Sunday schools, lodges, firemen and bands; in fact every organization that wants to raise money takes this method of making the senatorial candidates pay. The candidates dare not refuse because they may lose the votes of the men connected with the organization and so they submit to this kind of a levy. Then there are the political strikers in every locality who claim to control a certain number of votes and say they must have money to "keep them in line." If the bill which the senate passed becomes a law all candidates can say to the money seekers that they cannot comply with such requests because their expenditures are limited and they can only spend money for legitimate political campaign expenses. "Fightin' 'Em Over." The editor of a paper published in the interest of soldiers of the civil war said his readers were not satisfied unless they were "fightin' 'em over," and he was thus compelled to publish stories of the battles of the war. Such a state of affairs seems to have reached the senate. From time to time there are senators who are "fightin' 'em over," or at least they stir up matters which arouse the prejudices and passions of the war. It is with considerable difficulty that the present generation becomes aroused over a war which ended forty-five years ago, as the settlement of all the questions which that war involved seems to have been accepted by all the people. House Sham Battles. It is interesting to note that while the senate has to fight over the civil war to get up an interest the house has to resort to sham battles in order to keep even a respectable attendance within the chamber. Sometimes it is one thing and sometimes another, but the make believe fight is so apparent that it does not deceive any one. Some of the house battles have been over a question whether John Hays Hammond nudged the king during the coronation; whether a man who had the supervision of the congressional directory had the right to have another do the work; whether the house should adjourn for a day or three days; whether there should be more or less investigations; what our diplomats of 100 years ago did or did not do, and similar trivial matters. For several weeks the house has not been very interesting. West Virginia Senators. Neither of the West Virginia senators has taken any prominent part in the debates in the senate, although Senator Watson has once proposed a program for voting on pending bills. "I'll bet Watson will never make a speech in the senate," remarked a West Virginia man, "but he will know what is going on all the time and will keep alive to West Virginia interests." "Chilton will do the talking for West Virginia," was the reply of another man from the same state. "He won't say anything until he is ready, but when he does talk he will give a good account of himself." Bailey's Greatest Effort. It is understood that Senator Bailey is preparing a great speech on the Arizona constitution, in which he will vigorously attack the initiative and referendum and the recall of judges. "Bailey will make the greatest effort of his life on that occasion," remarked one of his admirers, "and he will satisfy a great many people that the recall is a dangerous innovation." And yet the recall is becoming popular in many states. TWIN CITY STATE MEN WHO MANAGE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR How Work of Great Institution Is Divided Among Representa- tive Business Men.

Tampa is situated on Tampa Bay, which opens into the great Gulf of Mexico. It is a town of about 50,000 inhabitants of which the Afro-Americans constitute about 1-3 of the population. The soil is very sandy, and there is sand, sand everywhere and hardly a blade of grass. The Negro population consists of Negroes from all the West India and Bahama Isles. There are about as many foreign Negroes here as there are Americans viz. Cubans, Jamaians, Havtians and Nassaus. The commercial life of the Negroes of Tampa is very active and one can stop with his colored brother in almost every avenue of business. Grocery stores, meat markets, saloons, fruit stands and restaurants are quite numerous and are conducted successfully. Members of the race find employment as brick layers, carpenters, cigar makers, hack drivers, firemen, and for almost all manual labor. Several are working for the government as railway clerks, letter carriers, and internal revenue inspectors. There are three undertaking establishments, many livery stables, wood yards, all operated by Negroes. While a few are engaged in raising oranges and lemons. Nearly all the Lodges own their own buildings. The Odd Fellows have a three story brick building worth about $25,000 which is a credit to the entire state. Being a seaport town, and the population vastly cosmopolitan, there is apparently very little race friction. I hardly think that the race will lose its identity in this state for black predominates everywhere. While there are not as many young boys and girls who graduate each year as there should be, they have some inspiration to climb to loftier heights, for if he or she desires, they can readily find a place or make it Our people as a rule patronize their own people here. Mrs. Williams is well known in the Twin Cities, prior to leaving was stenographer for the Cosmopolitan Insurance Company. THE TROTTER TESTIMONIAL Many admirers of W. Monroe Trotter, the Editor and Publisher of the Guardian of Boston, Mass., are going to give him a testimonial for his services to his race. Editor Trotter deserves this consideration. He advocated the cause of the Negro, when other editors were eating their "mess of pottage," Mr. Trotter has made mistakes, but he is a forceful and fearless example of a man with honesty of purpose, who has sacrificed wealth, position and honor, in his attempt to promote the best interests of the race. We need such men as Editor Trotter. Whatever else may be said, he can always be called a Champion of our Civic Rights. MME. PARRISH'S NEVER FAIL HAIR FOOD is meeting with an unprecedented sale in the Twin Cities, and is greatly admired wherever used. It is indeed a splendid preparation for the hair. It loosens up the dandruff so that it can be combed and washed out. It moistens the scalp and gives the hair a chance to grow. It is a scalp treatment, and prevents the hair from breaking off, splitting at the ends, and falling out. It can be used with warm irons with good effect and makes a nice dressing for the hair. (See adv.) 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.

Gemmed Anklets Are Now Worn Over Stockings. The craze for barbaric jewelry, especially sets of Persian or Indian design, has reached a tremendous vogue, all of the real articles having gone up in price and a great many good imitation ornaments being now on the market. Some beautiful specimens are anklets of beaten silver and gold, a Persian anklet set with semiprecious stones and a beautiful Indian necklace made of braided silver set with turquoises and emeralds. The Venetian beads which were so popular a few years ago have given way to heavier jewels of a semiprecious character, chains of gold and silver ornaments, and especially to plaques of jewels, gold and enamel, worn on the breast and suspended by a slender chain. Among the many other jewels which form novelties of the season are the extraordinary finger rings and hand harnesses, consisting of one or more rings, a bracelet and a jewel for the back of the hands. This is distinctly an oriental fashion and has not been seen on the stage until the present time. OUTING HAT. Turkish Toweling Used In the Designing of Smart Headgear.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, II Chron. xxxiv, 14-33—Memory Verse, 21—Golden Text, Ps. oxix, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We are still in the reign of good King Josiah, and the heart of this lesson is a book, the book of the law of the Lord by Moses, a book concerning which we read in Josh. 1, 8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein, for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." It is also written of the blessed man in Ps. 1, 2, "His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night." No one rejoiced more than Jeremiah over the finding of this book, for he said, "Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and Thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart, for I am called by Thy name, Lord God of hosts." David could say, "I rejoice at Thy word as one that findeth great spoil" (Ps. cxix, 162). If our hearts are right with God nothing in all the world will be so precious to us as the word of God. Not only will our hearts burn within us when the Spirit opens to us the Scriptures, but there will be a boiling or bubbling up as we hear of things touching the King (Luke xxiv, 32: Ps. xlv, 1). There is but one principal person in all the book from Genesis to Revelation, even the one who said: "Lo, I come—in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my Godl Yea, thy law is within my heart" (Ps. xi1, 7, 8). It was for Him that Josiah was king, sitting upon His throne as His representative (I Chron. xxix, 23; II Chron. ix, 8), and the finding of this book must have been to Josiah like a special message from Jehovah. It was in connection with the repairing of the house of the Lord that the book was found, and we are reminded of Hosea vi, 3. "Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord." Josiah was earnestly doing the best he knew when by this book the Lord revealed Himself more fully. It is by His word that the Lord always reveals Himself (I Sam. iii, 21). He is the Living Word, and He reveals Himself to us by His written word, in which we see Him and know Him. When the king heard the words of the book as they were read to him by Shaphan, the scribe, he rent his clothes, for he saw therein his sin and the sin of his people and that great wrath from the Lord was upon them because they had not kept the word of the Lord to do after all that was written in the book (verse 21). There was a prophetess in Jerusalem named Huldah, and to her they went to inquire of the Lord concerning these matters. Let all believing women be encouraged by this and by the remembrance of Priscilla instructing Apolos and by the fact that the first resurrection message was given by the Lord Jesus to a woman and that the first proclamation of the gospel in Europe was at a woman's prayer meeting and also by the story of Philip's daughters and by Pa. Ixvill, 11, Rev. Ver, to let the Lord use them as His witnesses as He may lead. The seeming prohibitions in several places refer to order instead of confusion, and to this day in some of the eastern churches the women babble in time of service and even call their husbands by name and ask questions which ought to be asked at home instead of disturbing the congregation. Let all who are taught of the Lord hold themselves ready to teach others at every opportunity, for if ever there was a time when true witnesses were needed it is now, when women as well as men are being so used by the devil against the truth. How grand to hear this woman of God say, "Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, tell ye the man that sent you to me" (verse 23). To a true servant of the Lord He is all, and to please Him is everything; men are nothing except they glorify God. See the Lord's commendation of Josiah in verse 27, and note his tender heart, his humility and true penitence, and note in Isa. ivii, 15, that He who dwells in the high and holy place also dwells with him who is of a humble and contrite spirit. Josiah promptly gathered priests and Levites and all the people, great and small, and read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant, and there they made a covenant before the Lord to serve Him as He required with all their heart and soul, and all the days of Josiah they departed not from following the Lord, the God of their fathers. In such men as Jeroboam and Abah and Manasseh we see how much evil one man can do and how farreaching the results, but in such men as Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat and Josiah we see what God can do through even such imperfect men if only sincerely obedient to Him. As this is our last study of Josiah, we must not fail to notice his great passover, the like of which had not been seen in Israel since the days of Samuel (chapter xxxv. 18). That leads on to the passover which our Lord Jesus so greatly desired to keep with His disciples and to its future fulfillment in His kingdom (Luke xxil. 15, 16). fof Ff poof | | (Dele THE.
