Defective Page VOL. 2 Single Copies 5 Cents The event of the season was an entertainment in honor of Miss Sarah M. Talbert and Miss Lois Simmons, at the residence of Mrs. Wm. R. Hardy, 518 St. Anthony Ave., friday evening the 25th. The billiard room was made into a card room, was very beautiful, with soft hanging lights and lanterns. Promptly at 8:30 P. M. 36 young people sat down to cards and played until 11 P. M., progressive whist. The prizes were dreams of beauty, being the handiwork of Miss Talbert. Miss Singleton of Omaha received the first prize for ladies and Mr. Harris of Washington, D. C., the gentlemen first prize. At 11 P. M. the grand march headed by Mr. Lloyd Hickman and Mrs. Hardy followed by Miss Talbert and Mr. Jasper Gibbs came down into the library—and then dancing to the sweet strains of music consisting of 3 pieces—was indulged in until 1 A. M. A delightful repast was served by the hostess, after which the young people waltzed tothe strains of "home sweet home" all voting it to be the sweltest event of the season. The piano recital by Miss Sarah Talbert the brilliant and gifted daughter of Meston N. Talbert of Buffalo at the residence of Mrs. Tom R. Hardy Aug. 18th drew a large audience. Miss Talbert played with authority breadth of conception and fineness of interpretation which one looks for only in more mature artists and the spontaneous and continued applause which followed after the close of every number was sufficient testimony of the attitude of her audience. Her Chopin numbers were an evidence of her versatility and artistic equipment. The program closed with: The Military Polonaise by Chopin. Notable features in Miss Talbert's work are perfect rythm, sure use of the pedal and individuality. Miss Talbert will study this year in the New England Con. She will make her home with Dr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Gilbert of Boston. Mrs. R. B. Chapman left Friday to spend a few days at Anoka. Attorney and Mrs. W. T.

Former Senator Beveridge of Indiana devoted several years of his life in the senate toward securing legislation to ameliorate the condition of child labor. Senator Borah introduced and reported from his committee just before the adjournment of the session a bill providing for a children's bureau in the department of commerce and labor to investigate questions relating to the employment of children and other matters pertaining to the welfare of children. Similar bills have been introduced in the house and are favored by the labor organizations of the country. There is a very great possibility that such a measure will pass next session. RADICALS FIGHT TO RULE PARTY IS MR. BRYAN BEHIND THEM? Will Insist on Initiative, Referendum and Recall—Sims Says Progressive Principles Were Stolen From the Populists—Senator Heyburn Breaks Out Again—Children's Bureau Bill May Pass. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Sept. 1.—[Special].—A great struggle has commenced for control of the Democratic national convention next year. In some respects it resembles the contest of 1896, when the silver men of the party started out to get control of the convention and nominate a silver man as well as make a silver platform. This time the fight is to secure a radical or progressive candidate and a radical platform. By radical and progressive it is meant that the initiative and referendum, the recall and such other measures as will give the people direct control of the office machinery of the government and the states and also the legislation shall be adopted. The men who are pressing the movement are earnest, sincere and constantly active. That was true of the silver men in 1896. An active campaign will do much in this direction, especially as it is backed by William J. Bryan, who has often said that the platform was more important than the candidate. No Congressional Declaration. No Congressional Declaration. It cannot be claimed that there has been any real congressional declaration on this subject. There was much discussion of the Arizona constitution in both house and senate, and there were very radical views expressed by many Democrats. But neither the initiative and referendum nor the recall was indorsed by any vote. The Democratic idea was that Arizona had a right to have such a constitution as the people wanted, whether it contained these radical innovations or not. Be Another "Steal." It was Congressman Sims of Tennessee who declared in the house that if 1896 the Democrats "stole everything that was good from the Populist party, and the Republicans came along and stole from us nearly everything we had stolen from the Populists." The initiative and referendum was one of the things that were not taken at that time, nor has it yet been appropriated. Neither has government ownership of railroads, although Mr. Bryan has indicated a desire to acquire both for the Democrats. I once heard him tell a distinguished gathering of prominent Democrats that he would "drive every man out of the party who does not accept the initiative and referendum." If Bryan has a large control in the next convention Sims may witness another of the "thefts" which he spoke about so glibly not long ago. Mild Senator Heyburn. "I do not want to be harsh," remarked Senator Heyburn, speaking of the "isms" which he has so often condemned. Then he went on to call the men who support them "children" and a "jot of carpenters undertaking to tamper with the work of trained builders." "Are men going mad?" he asked. He said their creed was that of socialism, and much to the same effect. Oh, no—the Idaho senator did not want to be harsh; he simply wanted to bat 'em over the head with a club. Seeing the Army Posts. Every secretary of war acquires the wanderlust. Secretary Dickinson went to the Philippines and many other places. Secretary Stimson has been to Panama and Cuba and is soon to make a grand tour of the country and visit the different army posts. Every secretary likes to see things, especially as a generous government pays the expenses of these inspection tours. Against Expositions. Several times during the session bills relating to expositions of one kind or another were brought up in the house, and it was made manifest that the temper of congress is against government aid to expositions of any kind. One reason why San Francisco took the Panama exposition from New Orleans was because the far western city promised not to ask any government appropriation. Every time any exposition measure, no matter how trivial, was brought forth the man who was urging it was forced to promise that no government appropriation would be asked. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.

Negroes lose more time than any other race on account of their failure to take advantage of the up-to-date business conveniences of today. We congratulate the working class, "or the men lower down" for their support of the Star, and many others of the "so called high toned element" who have stood by this publication. The people of the Twin Cities deserve a good paper, and as this is a business proposition, we are trying to cut off all of these parasites, who will in time kill our energy and condemn our efforts. This is plain talk. But Ceremony must doff her pride and the Negroes of the Twin Cities be taught to pay for newspapers. We hope they may soon learn. We agitate to educate. If you want any Negro paper, pay for it as you do for your rent, food, clothing and the white daily publications. Lo, soul, seest thou not God's purpose?

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson X.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 3, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review—Golden Text, Ps xxxiv, 14—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—Isaiah's prophecy concerning Sennacherib (Isa. xxxvii, 14 38). Golden Text, Ps. xivi, 1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Sennacherib is in the line of Cain and Pharaoh and all enemies of God and His people to be consummated in the blaspheming antichrist of the last days, back of whom and through whom is always seen the devil. The devotion of Hezekiah to the living and true God was too much for the great adversary, and so he stirred up the king of Assyria against Hezekiah. But see how two men who knew God prevailed in prayer. LESSON II.—The suffering servant of Jehovah (isa. iii, 3, to iii, 12). Golden Text. Isa. iii, 6. "The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." We find this record right in the midst of the last part of Isaiah, the middle chapter of the middle section, and the middle verse is iii, 5, which gives us the heart of all Scripture. If with His stripes we have been healed, then as His redeemed ones standing against the world, the flesh and the devil, we must be content to suffer with Him and count it a great privilege (Phil. 2; 19; I Pet. iv, 13; v, 1, 10). We shall be satisfied when He is (iii. 11). LESSON III.-Manasseh's wickedness and penitence (II Chron. xxxii, 1-20). Golden Text, Isa. 1, 16, 17, "Cease to do evil, learn to do well." Of all the wicked kings of the ten tribes none exceeded Ahab in wickedness, but Manasseh in Judah seems to have exceeded him. By comparing II Kings xxI with our lesson chapter we see how fearful the record is. It looks as if he did the very worst that he could do. The conversion of such a wicked man should greatly encourage parents who have ungodly children, for God is full of mercy. LESSON I V.—Josiah's devotion to God (II Chron. iii, 4, 1-13). Golden Text, Eccles. xii, 1, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." This boy king probably knew only of his father's zeal for God, and may have been thus inspired with a similar zeal. When he was only sixteen he began to seek God earnestly, and when he was twenty he purged the land from idolatry and did that which the man of God said 300 years before that he would do (I Kings xiii, 2; II Kings xxii, 16). When he was twenty-six he began to repair the house of the Lord his God. LESSON V.--The finding of the book of the law (II Chron. xxxiv, 14-38). Golden Text. Ps. cxix, 11, "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." As he went on in his good work, God gave him more light by causing-the book of the law to be found. This was a fulfillment of the word, "Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. vl, 3). If we act up to the light we have, God will in some way send us more. The Lord knew that Josiah would inquire into this and be obedient and humble himself before God. LESSON VI.—Jeremiah tried and acquitted (Jer. xxvi, 7-19). Golden Text, Ps. xxvil, 1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" It seems strange that priests and prophets of the Lord should want to kill a man because he spoke the words of the Lord, simply because the message did not suit them, but there were in those days, and there are today, professed messengers of the Lord whom He never sent, prophets of the deceit of their own heart speaking lies in His name (Jer. xxvi, 14, 16, 21, 25, 29). LESSON VII.—Jeholakim burns the prophet's book (Jer. xxxv1, 20-82). Golden Text. Isa. xl. 8, "The word of our God shall stand forever." It was not the prophet's book, but the Lord's book, which the king cut up and burned in the fire, but the book was written again immediately in a larger edition, and the Lord attended to Jeholakim. There are many now who seem to have no fear of God while professing to be His messengers and who ruthlessly set aside large portions of Scripture, calling them myths and fables. The Lord will see to them, and Pa. cxix. 89, stands. LESSON VIII.--Jeremiah cast into prison (Jer. xxxvll, 4-21). Golden Text, Matt. v, 11. "Blessed are ye when man shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake." He is still hated and persecuted for the truth's sake, even as many were before Him, and are now and will be till the kingdom comes (John v, 18:21; xvl, 1-3). The father of lies cannot stand the truth and will not if he can help it, but he cannot lay a finger on any child of God without permission and then only as far as permitted. LESSON IX.—Judah carried captive to Babylon (Jer. xxxi, 1-10). Golden Text., Num. xxxii, 23, "Be sure your sin will find you out." Notwithstanding all the peaceful words of the false prophets, the word of the Lord by Jeremiah was literally fulfilled in due time. This age of so called progress, which is the progress of all things to be controlled by one devil possessed man, the antichrist, will end by the overthrow of all things that can be shaken, and then shall come the kingdom of peace and righteousness. TWIN CITY STAR THE COATESVILLE MURDER. Southern White Man's Opinion of Laughing In the North Lynching in the North. At a meeting held recently in the Charles Street A. M. E. church in Boston the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Birmingham, Ala., referring to the Coatesville (Pa.) lynching, said: "What happened a week ago in a What happened quite recently in a burned to death a Negro manactured to a hospital cot after storming the hospital, may happen any day right here in Boston. The minds of the northern people have been inflamed by southern politicians until now they look on the Negro with the same feelings as the people of the south. "While I am not trying to arraign the president of the United States, I am sure if you had the organization the other races have he would pay attention to your demands that the wrongs of the colored people of the south be righted. "Some time ago, when a delegation of colored men went to see the president to try to have him incorporate into his message to congress something concerning the conditions of the Negro, they were dismissed. But when a delegation of Jews went to see him in order to have an inquiry made into the alleged discrimination against a Hebrew in the United States army then he paid willing heed to their request. If you had the same organization and the same one mindedness the other races have you could get something done. "The poor Negro at his cabin door, with his wife and baby by his side, has as much right to be protected as his white fellow citizen. And how can that protection be secured? Only through the ballot which has been taken away from him, only by the use of the vote which has been denied to him. There is nothing more cruel than the fact the southern Negro once had the vote and now has no voice in protecting his race. "I am sure that just as soon as the American people are made aware of the true state of affairs in the south they will demand that the negro be returned his right to vote. At present it is in direct violation of the constitution of the United States and of the Declaration of Independence. It is taxation without representation and in direct contradiction of the principle that all men are created free and equal." LITTLE ROCK MEETING OF EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS Third Annual Convention Fraught With Many Timely Suggestions. The third annual meeting of the National Negro Press association recently held in Little Rock, Ark., was very interesting, and there were many timely suggestions made, which if carried out will result in the building up of a strong, aggressive and profitable organization of newspaper men. Among those who took part in the proceedings were, E. M. Wood, editor of "Our Review;" L. N. Porter, president Banner Publishing company; President Joseph A. Booker, Baptist Vanguard; T. Frederick Small, editor Small's Negro Trade Journal; Horace D. Slatter, many correspondent; Edi A. B. HENRY ALLEN BOYD. tor Fred R. Moore, New York Age; Editor W. H. Melton, Memphis Colored Citizen; Editor W. E. King, Dallas Express; Dr. R. E. Jones, Southwestern Christian Advocate; Charles Stewart, Associated Press correspondent; Hon. J. C. Napier, register U. S. Treasury; Dr. E. C. Morris of the National Baptist convention; J. B. La Fargue, the Messenger; L. D. Jones, the Appreciator-Union, and others. The election of officers resulted as follows: M. M. Lewey, editor Florida Sentinel, president; first vice president, J. B. La Fargue, editor the Messenger, Louisiana; second vice president, H. K. McMillin, editor Headlight, Arkansas; H. Allen Boyd, the Nashville Globe, Tennessee; T. Frederick Small, editor Small's Trade Journal, New York, recording and assistant recording secretaries, respectively; W. E. King, editor Dallas Express, Texas, corresponding secretary, and L. G. Jordan, editor Mission Herald, Kentucky, treasurer. The executive committee is composed of L. D. Jones, chairman, Arkansas; D. S. D. Bellamy, Florida; A. J. Smitherman, Oklahoma; F. R. Moore, New York; J. A. Booker, Arkansas; R. E. Jones, Louisiana; W. H. Melton, Tennessee; A. E. Edwards, New Jersey, and President M. M. Lewey. Revival of These Dainty Old World Accessories. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES CHARMING FICUH DESIGNS. The most distinctive of the new ficus is the model with jabot ends. This dainty accessory is of sheer handkerchief linen and suggests a Dutch neck at the back. A slide of lace takes the place of a brooch fastening. Another charming ficuh is the Charlotte Corday of handkerchief linen trimmed with real clunky lace. A sailor collar almost reaches the waist in the back, and the little tabs in front are modestly folded under a huge breastpin. A Nursery Romance. Much has been written aent a suitable bride for the Prince of Wales, but no one who has discussed the subject in print seems to be aware of the nursery romance which started when the little Grand Duchess Oliga, eldest daughter of the czar and czarina, was at Balmoral with her parents. The Prince of Wales, a baby, too, took a violent fancy to his small second cousin. In those days the Grand Duchess could not talk, so she only laughed and put her tongue out at her would be suitor. A few years ago, when the czar and czarina brought over their family in the imperial yacht to Cowes, Prince Edward again met the grand duchess, who is growing up to be a tall girl, the image of her mother, and his royal highness, boylike, fought rather shy of her. But onlookers, as usual, seeing most of the game, noted that he cast many admiring glances at his pretty cousin and she at him. It's Plain, but Very Smart.

OPPORTUNITY. A Negro can come to Minnesota, make a comfortable living, purchase a home, and sit under his own vine and fig tree, protected by its laws and enjoy the fruits of his labors—a life worth living. To Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, a young Negro lawyer of Newport News, Va., is due the exposure of the officials of True Reformers. The future outlook of the organization is very encouraging. There is no people in the world which more quickly recognizes and appreciates the qualities of frankness and sincerity, whether they are exhibited in a friend or in an opponent, in a white man or in a black man, than the white people of the South. I have found that there is a class that has gained a good deal of fleeting popularity for possessing what was supposed to be courage in cursing and abusing all classes of Southern white people on all possible occasions. But as I have watched the careers of this class of Negroes in practically every case their popularity and influence with the masses of colored people have not been lasting. Booker T. Washington in the World's Work. The Haytian appointment bubble has bursted. It was one of the old political schemes of the Republicans, a pre-election inventory, whereby the status of the Negro leaders can be determined. The Star is proud of Minnesota's choice, attorney Francis, a young man, who had the support of his entire state, and not a dissenting voice from among his people. A BOOM FOR "ROOT" "For President in 1912, Eilhu Root," says the Muskogee (Okla.) Cimeter. We are de—lighted to hear that the majestic form of our President has not obscured the other true friends of our race. The white-washing proclivities of Mr. Taft may be admired by many of our great race leaders, and we are grateful for what he has done through appointments, but the "Negro who votes" does not allow a few political acrobats to determine his policy, or even give enough heed to the soft-soap of the subsized Negro newspapers or their correspondents, to allow them to blot from his memory the good deeds of such a man as Eilhu Root or the past performances of President Taft. There are "57 varieties" of public entertainments given in Minneapolis (by the Charity Clubs, Lodges, Churches, and House Parties) where admission is charged. Nearly all suffer from lack of attendance. Our best institutions deserve support, and we are willing to give it. There are too many factions pulling against each other. The spirit of harmony must pregail or individual efforts are worthless. "A house divided against itself shall not stand." COATESVILLE INCIDENT AS SEEN BY LOCAL WHITE MAN WRITER. Talking interest in the recent Coatesville, Pa., outrage Louis J Livingston, now in Dowagiac on business, writes the following open letter in the Dowagiac Daily News, Aug. 19, 1911: AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MAYOR OF COATESVILLE, PA. AUG. 16, 1911. Sir: I am a white man of pure Caucasian blood, with not a drop of negro blood in all my ancestry. I am a Southerner by birth—a native of Louisiana. In politics I am an Independent Republican, and in every line of thought I am an Independent and Progressive. I am not in love with the negro, but I am in love with Justice and with Humanity; and if the awful deed, the more than savage burning of the negro, Walker, that has forever blackened the name of your city, and left a stain which not even justice can wipe out, is not followed by bringing to swift and merciless punishment the worse than hyenas, who somehow or other, have acquired the semblance of human beings, then I ask God to call down upon them the punishment commensurate with such an awful deed, and to wipe from the face of the earth the community that would condone such superlative flendishness, incarnate! Knowing to what a degraded the police of our country—North, South, East and West, in rural communities as well as cities and towns—have fallen; that they form one of the principal sources and main abettors, instead of the preventers and curers, of vice and crime... that almost universally their sole interest in their work is the accumulation of human misery and want, that they may feed and fatten upon it; that they have become a scourge, and not a protection, to most communities, large or small, that they secretly encourage and conlive at the breaking of the very laws they are specially selected to uphold; and that, instead of bending every effort to the capture of criminals they expend that energy in the effort to make criminals of innocent men and women, who, without friends, money or influence, win their displeasure and fall into their power; until today the police of America are almost universally known as the most brutal, depraved and corrupt on earth! Knowing, t also, that the negro, whatever his faults, is nearer to our Americanism by birth, inheritance, contact, environment, education and tradition than the scum of almost every nation and race on earth that are allowed to swarm through the gates of our Castle Gardens; that the negro, since the shackles of slavery have been stricken from his limbs, has paid for that emancipation in full, not only by fighting the battles of his white persecutor, with distinction, and even glory, in the Civil, Indian, Spanish and Phillipine wars (one of his greatest deeds, being the storming of San Juan hill, and winning of the crucial land battle of the Spanish war.) but by emancipating himself from ignorance, helplessness and poverty, and making himself a useful, industrious and helpful citizen; and knowing that there is a certain element of many American communities, associated with those secret powers—hierarchical as well as political—that are secretly bending every energy to the destruction of American institutions and American spirit! Knowing these things, I repeat, and feeling that the statement given out as to the acts and the confession of Walker are one-sided and cannot now be confuted by the miserable victim of their awful savagery, and the meagre fact in his favor, that has been allowed to creep through the press censorship, that he killed the policeman in self-defense, I, as an old newspaper man and man of the world, expert in the analysis and study of human actions, base my protest upon the well known facts given by me above. Next to the awful inhumanity of such flendish deeds, my greatest objection is to their thorough un-Americanism! Back of them is a suggestion of clericalism, more even, than racialism, and I ask my countrymen to beware of the growth of the secret power that lies back of it all. Louis J. Livingston.
