Defective Page DULUTH AFRO-AMERICANS ARE ADVANCING Fruitage of Friendly Relations Between the Races Shown. SOME NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS Little Rock Plotted as Queen Among the Many Cities of the Great Southwest in Which Thrift and Industry Mark Rapid Progress of the Race Along Distinct Lines. Little Rock, Ark.-There are perhaps few cities in the great southwestern section of the United States where more amicable relations exist between the white and colored people than is true of Little Rock. This was plainly shown at the recent meeting of the DR. GEORGE W. HAYMAN, M. D. National Negro Business league, which held its sessions in Kempner's beautiful theater in this city for three days As a result of this wholesome relation our people are making rapid advancement in business, buying homes and educating their children. School facilities are good, and opportunities for the well equipped young men and women to get employment as teachers and principals in the various institutions of learning are splendid. The business arena also stands with doors ajar, and there are many who have entered their portals and are doing well. In the professional line, aside from teaching in the public schools, we mention Dr. George W. Hayman, who is doubtless the leading physician of the city. Dr. Hayman has by thrift and strict attention to the duties of his profession built up a lucrative practice. His real estate holdings constitute practically. an entire block in a choice residential section of the town. As a lawyer Scipio A. Jones has no equal in the state. By the members of the local and state bar he is not regarded as a Negro lawyer, but as a member of the fraternity whose opinions are respected and sought. He has practiced and does practice in all the courts of the state and the United BON. S. K. BETTON. States and does the work of practically every fraternal organization in the state of Arkansas. Much of this practice is divided with his young partner, Thomas J. Price, who has been associated with him in the past three years, coming to Arkansas from Washington, where for some time he had been associated with Judge Terrell. Mr. Price is grand attorney for the Pythians and is fast making a name for himself in Arkansas. Mr. Jones is distinctly one of the Negro leaders of Arkansas. He is president of the local and state Negro ST. PAUL DR. WHITE RETURNS HOME. Dr. J. R. White has returned from the Educational Congress at Denver and a visit to Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Kansas City.

ABOUT THE STATE News of Especial Interest to Minnesota Readers. PROGRESSIVES HOLD BANQUET Senator La Follette Endorsed for the Presidency at a Big Gathering at Minnesota. United States Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin was endorsed unhesitatingly as the leader of the progressive movement in the United States and the logical nominee of the Republican party for president at its next national convention at the banquet under the auspices of the Progressive Republican league at Minneapolis. Four hundred or more progressives from all parts of Minnesota were there and only a scattered few remained seated when the rising vote on the endorsement of the Wisconsin senator was taken. Proclaimed by all the speakers, and by the banqueters in the resolution adopted, as the one man who can lead the Republicans to freedom, was this "lonestell man of the senate." For it was a gospel of rejuvenation, of the reawakening of the party along the lines of its first principles, that was preached and not the formation of a new party. Throughout this first mass meeting in the United States to carry forward the La Follette banner sat smiling and jubilant the secretary of the National Progressive league, Walter L. Houser of Washington, D. C., press agent for the Wisconsin senator. Not a word did he say—he saw it was not necessary. ANSWERS BUT FEW QUERIES Wheelock on Stand in Minnesota Training School Case. Ralph W. Wheelock, private secretary to Governor Eberhart, like the governor himself, escaped a grilling examination in the Whittier hearing before the state board of control through technicalities of the law. Mr. Wheelock was on the witness stand for nearly an hour and was bombarded with pertinent questions by Judge Frank Wilson, attorney for Superintendent Frank Whittier, but was allowed to answer only a few. The questions were intended to bring out the fact that Mr. Wheelock, in filing the charges of cruelty to inmates against Superintendent Whittier, was simply following instructions of Governor Eberhart, who in turn was inspired by A. D. Stephens of Crookston, Minn., former state senator, and Mrs. C. G. Higbee, president of the State Federation of Women's clubs. Such questions as were ruled material Mr. Wheelock answered fully and frankly, as when he admitted that he knew nothing of his own knowledge prior to the hearing of the abuses charged in the complaint. ORGANIZE FARMERS' LEAGUE Culmination of Agitation in Minnesota Against Reciprocity. The Farmers' league of Minnesota was launched at the state fair grounds last week, the culmination of agitation in this state during the past summer against reciprocity. A constitution was officially adopted and steps were taken to organize branches in every county. The officers chosen are: President, R. A. Wilkinson, Lake Elmo; vice president, J. Y. Winnings, Eden Valley; secretary, P. V. Collins, Minneapolis; treasurer, Charles Kenning, Bird Island. Red hot speeches, in which the president of the United States was "handled without gloves," and in which such words as "sold out" and "betrayed" were frequent, were used during the day's session. The league, as its constitution declares, is organized for the purpose of procuring co-operation among the farmers for "benefits—social, material and political," but it was made plain in the discussions that while the league will be nonpartisan its chief object is politics.

Lesson XII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 17, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Dan. iii, 13-22. Memory Verses, 17, 18—Golden Text, Heb. xliii, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearna. The first chapter ended with Daniel continuing. Many begin well who do not so continue, but one mark of a true discipline is patient continuance (I Cor. xv, 58). The second chapter ends with Daniel promoted to be a great man, ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. He also sat in the gate of the king, but we may be sure that he was there for the Lord God of Israel rather than for the king of Babylon. In his high position he did not forget his three friends, but by his request they also were set over the affairs of the province of Babylon (chapter 11, 48, 49). The vision granted to the king of Babylon and the part of the interpretation which said "Thou art this head of gold" seem to have affected him more than the words "The God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom" (II, 37, 38), and so he caused to be made a great image all of gold and set it up in the plain of Dura and gathered all his rulers and great men to the dedication of this image. There are in this chapter ten references to this image, as made or set up by the king, that all people might fall down and worship it. The penalty for disobedience was to be cast into a burning fiery furnace (verse 6). The importance of this man in his own estimation is seen also in chapter 1v, 30, in the words, "Is not this great Babylon that I have built * * * by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?" He is strikingly suggestive of one soon to come who will cause to be made an image that can speak and who will kill all who will not worship his image and prevent all from doing business who have not his mark (Rev. xiii. 11-17). His thought and manner of conduct are seen in such words as these: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High." "He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods." "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (Isa. xiv, 14; Dan. xl, 36; II Thess. 11, 4). The end of this trio will be not a furnace of fire, but the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone and torment forever (Rev. xix, 19, 20; xx, 10). See the contrast in the future of those who worship Him and those who will rather die than worship Him (Rev. xiv, 9-11; xv, 2-4). Oh, for grace to stand as did the friends of Daniel and bow down to nothing that any man set up, whether of doctrine or good works or any scheme that is not of God. Judging from verses 3 and 7, there must have been an immense company of people and a most magnificent and imposing celebration at the dedication of this image. It might be said that the like of it was never seen on earth before. In a sense, all the world gathered to honor the world ruler. Had Daniel's friends not been Jews and not occupying so high a position in the kingdom (verse 12) they might possibly not have been noticed, but there were envy and jealousy enough abroad to cause them to be keenly watched. The rage and fury of the king were very great when he learned that any one had refused to bow to his image but when his offer of a second opportunity was rejected with the words "Be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods nor worship the golden image which thou set up," then his fury knew no bounds, and quickly were these three men of God cast into the burning fiery furnace (verses 13, 18:23). Note their splendid confidence in God in the words "Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king" (verse 17). It is not His pleasure always to save us from trials and persecutions. On the contrary, we are taught to expect these things, but all in order that He may be seen and glorified in us (John xvi, 33; Phil. 1, 29; Matt. v). See in their case a literal fulfilment of Isa. xliif, 2, and, though the fire slew the men who cast them into the furnace, they walked about in it unharmed. The fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed, * * * nor the smell of fire had passed on them, because they trusted in God (verses 27, 28). There was one with them whom even the king could see—one who is the same yesterday, today and forever, who has all power in heaven and on earth and who will be with His people in every trial and not suffer any to be tried beyond grace given to bear it. He was seen that day only in the furnace, and when He permits us to enter some furnace it is in order that He may be seen with us or in us. He was specially seen in Joseph while a slave in Potiphar's house and a prisoner unjustly imprisoned. These men in the furnace were wholly unharmed and lost only the bonds which had bound them. Trials set us more free from many things to walk with God. Note in verse 20 the worldwide God honoring decree, because of their faithfulness, and in verse 30 their own further promotions. Good form Many girls have asked how they may become well bred. That is a hard question to answer in so many words. The term itself implies that it must come with training. Perhaps the most helpful beginning would be to find some one who can serve you as a sort of model. Women of charm and distinction are unfortunately few, but it must be a poor society indeed where at least one woman of grace and refinement cannot be found. Having decided upon one woman—there may be more if you are lucky—study her. Try to discover what constitutes her charm and what are her blemishes. Be sure to let your charming woman serve as a "sort" of model. Do not slavishly copy tones, gestures, dress. It is only something of her spirit that you are to try to catch, for there are two rules which, if you will follow them, will do more for you than even your model can. You will find that she is your model because she followed these rules herself. The first is, "Think about others, not about yourself," and the second is the same. The first one means to think about others in the sense of being considerate of them. The second one means just think about them. If you want a magic key to unlock for you the door to popularity, to happiness, to being interested and interesting, seize upon those six simple words and pin your faith to them: "Think about others, not about yourselves." Just watch yourself for awhile and see how constantly one subject absorbs your thoughts. And that subject is yourself—your clothes, your appearance, your feelings, your likes, your tight shoes, your invitation to the football game or your failure to receive one. Hints For Hostess. When the luncheon guests are ladies exclusively the hostess leads the way to the dining room, where places are chosen at will or are fixed by dainty plate favors with the names inscribed on one side. Many hostesses prepare for an informal musical and literary program following luncheon. Black borders of equal width on stationery and cards are used by the widow as long as she wears mourning. Postal cards are only proper for announcing meetings or the most impersonal messages. The hostess driving with another woman in a closed carriage allows her guest to take the choice of seats by giving her precedence in entering the carriage. Only the most delicate scent is allowed on a lady's stationery, and it is better to dispense with perfumery in this line altogether. If used a sachet is introduced into the box in which the stationery is kept, the scent being the same as that affected by the owner. Things One Should Know. When escorting a young lady and her mother a man cares for the mother first and, if possible, divides the attention so that both ladies are made comfortable. When a young woman is entertaining a girl friend any invitation extended to her includes her guest. If it involves a card party, a dinner or any affair requiring special preparation the entertainer informs her hostess that she will bring her guest. When a woman accepts a seat vacated for her in a train or car her escort lifts his hat in acknowledgment of the courtesy. It is very bad form to insist upon a guest drinking wine or liquors at table. He probably has some very good and sufficient reason for such refusal. Concerning Letters. Women, as a rule, are notoriously lax in their correspondence. In this they follow the revised version of an old adage, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until day after tomorrow." When necessity finally steps in and demands an immediate reply, duty and courtesy having failed of their purpose, it is the habit of woman to begin her belated letter with a proposed apology and ramble on for pages, telling the chain of circumstances responsible for the delay. A simple apology for the negligence is all good taste demands. More satisfactory in every particular is the plan of answering each letter immediately following its arrival. In this way mail does not accumulate in formidable heaps and there is no need for apologies. Rather Embarrassing. "When a friend asks me to accompany him to a concert in the evening who is to make the first move after his arrival?" inquired a girl recently. "I come down with hat and gloves on ready to start, but he seems inclined to linger and converse. Should I or should he call attention to the clock?" As you do not wish to be late at the concert and your escort seems to have no idea of time, it is in order for you to take the initiative and say, "Had we not better start?"

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.

Humor and Philosophy BY DUNCAN M. SMITH PERT PARAGRAPHS. IT is easy enough to explain a thing away, but it frequently refuses to stay away after the explanation. You can't keep a bad man down. He always bobs up with a plea for vindication. The only safe way is to believe every man guilty until he is arrested. It doesn't take a man long after he begins to talk to show just where his grouch is located. Train up your children in the way they should go and when they are grown they will have the same kind of a row with their own offspring. Most of us are vain, but it would puzzle an expert to show justification for the vanity. A clock is about the only thing that strikes and keeps on working. Hunger taken in liberal doses before meals is an excellent cure for indigestion. The man who has to eat his own words seldom has an appetite for a repetition. The coming man counts among his assets a good press agent. Guarding the Youth. The wise and sage committee Is to the dungeon leading In nearly every city The books our boys are reading. These everyday life a glamour That life is not possessing. And so they take their hammer And do some things distressing. These little minds, unfolding Like blossoms in the garden, Need very careful molding And care lest they should harden. The books that have incited Our boys to blood and thunder Are for the crime indicted. And is it any wonder? The book on which the "popper" Had fat and early feeding Is not regarded proper Or most exalted reading For those acquiring knowledge. If father is a sample He is, you must acknowledge, A horrible example. The busy little starter With facts must fill his gable. Farewell, then, to Nick Carter, To Optic and his fable! These books are undeserving, But do not think to lose them- While no one is observing The youngsters will peruse them. A. E. K. BARNETT DODSON, AFRO-AMERICAN EDITOR, AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. LET THE RACE GET TOGETHER Idea of Establishing Savings Bank In New York, Heartily Approved. The Amsterdam News, New York city, is rendering the race valuable service by its advocacy of a penny savings bank to be located in Harlem, where the great bulk of the Afro-American population resides. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, contributing editor to the News, pointed out very clearly in a recent issue of that paper the economic value of saving on a small scale. The idea is feasible and should meet the hearty approval of our people throughout Greater New York and vicinity. Most all churches, secret societies and business concerns have bank accounts. Thousands of dollars are collected in these institutions weekly, and their monthly footings would be astonishing if brought together and deposited in one common coffer. Let the race get together in New York and husband its resources so as to give employment to capable young men and women.—Dodson. Doors Which No Enemy Can Shut. There are many hindrances in the pathway of the aspiring colored man, but let it not be forgotten that there are open doors that no enemy can close, says the Washington National Union. In the professions, in the church, school, home and hundreds of industrial avenues we have a field for our highest activities. No one can prevent the blackest man from living a clean life. No one can rob us of the fruits of a Christian character nor the sweetness of lofty ideals. Plea For Greater Race Solidarity. We should endeavor under all circumstances to patronize race enterprises and institutions. The great number of colored people throughout the country are "asleep" along this line, says the New Rochelle (N. Y.) Standard-Journal. To patronize each other in business brings about race solidarity and makes our influence more keenly felt. This is the main thing that we need to instill into the mind of the average young man and woman of the race. An Impressive Speaker. Senator Clapp was making a vigorous speech on his favorite subject, popular government, a subject that he has discussed in many states during the summer. "Clapp would make a good exhorter," was the comment of a man in the senate gallery. The earnest manner of the Minnesota senator, his ready command of language, the fact that he was thoroughly imbued with his subject, showed that the observer had made a correct guess. This same manner won him many cases in the courts when he was practicing law and was recognized as an effective pleader. Western University's New President. The board of trustees of Western university, Quindaro, Kan., has appointed H. T. Kealing of Nashville, Tenn., to the presidency of that institution to succeed the Hon. W. T. Veron. Mr. Keeling has been editor of the African Methodist Church Review for a number of years. Baptist Convention's Wise Choice. The New England Baptist missionary convention made no mistake by selecting the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia as its executive head. By education, experience, racial and denominational interest he is abundantly qualified to guide the destinies of that great religious body in its continued increasing responsibilities and usefulness to its members. The growth of the convention for the past three years has been wonderful. It is Dr. Creditt's aim this year to develop every resource the organization has to meet the demands for a more definite work along all lines within the jurisdiction of the convention. Founded First School in Missouri. The first school for colored people in Missouri after the civil war was founded by J. Milton Turner in Kansas City in 1868. For a long time he taught without a fixed salary, as the school commissioners refused to make any provision for him. Oyster Packing as a Business. In the thriving town of Cambridge, Md., are many thrifty Afro-Americans who are engaged in business for themselves. Conspicuous among the number is P. H. Slocum, who does a large oyster packing business. Mr. Slocum operates six boats and employs more than a score of men. TWIN CITY STAR LEAGUE HOLDS BIG MEETING. Great Equal Suffrage Convention at Annual Session in Boston Doleares War on Race Discrimination by State and National Governments. Remedy For Lynching Suggested. Boston.—No meeting held in the interest of the civil and political well being of the colored race in the United States has equaled in attendance, enthusiasm and earnestness that of the National Independent Political league recently held for three successive days in Boston. Men of influence in business, church, state and in the professions took part in the program of exercises throughout the session and expressed their determination to continue the battle for the civil and political enfranchisement of the race. President John R. Clifford, editor of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, in his annual address covered almost every phase of the situation which confronts the colored people in regard to their rights as citizens and of the lack of interest in right, justice and the enforcement of the war amendments to the federal constitution as manifested by the state and national governments. He spoke in part as follows: There is no Negro problem in this country. The only problem is the white man's problem, and the problem is. Has the man been wrong in his conduct? Christ in him so that he will treat the black man as a fellow man and as a brother? The Republican party and the country owe the colored man a greater debt of gratitude than he owes either the party or the country. It is the duty of the colored man at this stage in his development to study conditions carefully and to vote according to his best conscience and judgment, to be independent in his political activities. We denounce the attempts to limit the suffrage so that those who have a specified amount of property or a white face may vote. We denounce all laws, ordinances, regulations and decisions of courts which separate between man and man on the basis of race or color. We pardon the peonage murders of our people's lives and liberty but President Taft? Who put every Negro officeholder in the south out of office to please the Negro hating south? President William Howard Taft. Who was it that told the president of Fisk university that the Negro must be so treated? Your Republican president, dubbed by that section "Billy Possum." Who was it that ordered discharges of our soldiers at Brownsville? Mr. Taft. When sixty odd innocent Negroes were butchered like hogs in Texas in July, 1910, they were from your Republican president, am frank to say I am not "distinct" to own him. Mr. Taft's advice to us how to be friendly with the south recalls to me Theodore Roosevelt's advice to the English people how to treat their colored subjects in Egypt. Did he not dine and wine southern lynchers at the White House? It was he who discharged and disgraced the very soldiers who saved his life in Cuba, including Sergeant Mingo Sanders, who divided his hardtack with him. All that the Negro is in rascality, lust, looseness and disgrace, now, Roosevelt color taught him. Many white men will be begging Negroes to plead their cause before a just God, and Theodore Roosevelt will be one of them and Mingo Sanders his mediator. The votes of colored men have kept the Republican party in power and made it possible for it to protect the "interests" and produce multimillionaires, while it reduced the Negro to the position of a political slave. Race solidarity in politics over the race of citizenship. It gained for us the contempt and opposition of the Democratic party in most places, while it failed to hold the Republican party true to its black allies. SOUTHERN LIFE MAGAZINE. Harriet Tubman and F. W. Williams Featured in September Number. The September issue of the Southern Life-Magazine has, among other inter- esting and well written articles, an "Hour With Harriet Tubman," by James B. Clarke; a brief sketch of Franklin W. Williams, the brilliant young attorney who graduated with honors from the New York Law school last June, being the only Afro-American in a class of 140 students, by Rev. R. A. Grant, and "What the Negro Has a Right to Expect of Christianity." The editorial section covers in a com- mendable way such subjects as "Where Negroes Are Not Dying Out." "A Need Our Colleges Are Failing to Meet" and "Blasting at the Foundation of Government." Under the heading "Following the Lines of Racial Interest" a number of subjects concerning many phases of current happenings are briefly considered. The number concludes with the full program of subjects discussed at the recent fourth annual roundup of the farmers' institute held at Clark university, illustrated with a full page group picture of persons composing the institute. Work of New Forward Movement. The work of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian association and the several religious organizations with which it is associated for the bettering of conditions among the men and boys throughout the United States and Canada is succeeding well. The campaign will soon begin in all the large cities, and the series of meetings will be addressed by eminent men who have won world fame in work of this kind. ADVISES RESPECT FOR LAW. There is but One Path to Peace, Says President Sarchough. In his speech at the universal peace congress recently held in London President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce (O.) university said: The fact that the wide world is awakening to the dangers confronting society at large is a good sign. We are sure that the weapons of good will eventually be more potential than those of evil in adjusting the Negro question in the states. There must be an uprising of fearless men of all races—men who see the right and dare to do it in averting trouble and discountenancing anything that panders to race prejudice; men who will preach untiringly and unceasingly the gospel of the common brotherhood of man; who will work for legislation that will render equal justice to all; who will unite in stifling crime, helping the fallen and guarding the youth; who will plead for that general exercise of Christian fellowship that will lead to confidence in and respect for self and others. The Negro is needed in the development of America. He is native to its customs, its religion and its laws; has virtues as well as vices. He has given his blood in its defense, and it owes him a chance. It becomes a matter of right and duty that both north and south should unite actively in mutual co-operation with the race for law and order, for peace and fraternity, for right and justice. There is but one path to peace and the final adjustment of this question. And that is to use the law for the protection and punishment of white and black citizens alike, to practice the true Christianity that is preached and to leave the door of hope open to the Negro as to any other people. This work will devolve upon godly preachers, self sacrificing, intelligent teachers, devoted philanthropists and wide awake, earnest students of sociology, and it is the mission of the higher institutions of learning for the Negro in the United States to raise up, educate and inspire the coming generations of the race to assist in the consummation of this purpose. ONLY JUSTICE CAN BRING ABOUT UNIVERSAL PEACE. Why World Problems Cannot Be Solved by Money Alone. In discussing the many pians and theories which have been projected for averting war and establishing universal peace John E. Bruce ("Grit") of Yonkers, N. Y., presents the following view of the stupendous task: "The real panacea for war is universal justice. Establish justice and righteousness among the nations and there will be no need for standing armies and formidable navies. It is not in the province of any nation to establish universal peace while so many great economic, social, racial and industrial problems wait upon justice for solution. "Those who now are crying 'Peace, peace' very well know that there is no peace and can be none until justice dominates the hearts and minds of the nations of the earth. Human nature will have to undergo a remarkable change in order for universal peace to become a living, tangible fact. God only can bring about universal peace, and there does not yet appear to be any evidence that he is about to do so. The preparations for war now going on both in this country and in Europe are not significant of universal peace. The nations are adding to the quotas of their standing armies and vying with each other in the building of Dreadnoughts. "This is not the way of peace. It is not an augury of the approach of the millennium which a peace fund could be used in helping to hasten on. There shall be wars and rumors of war and that 'not one oil or title of his word shall fall.' The points are well taken. The world will not be ready for universal peace until every nation is prepared for it through the application of the principles of righteousness which exalteth a nation. Then universal justice will prevail in all the earth and men to men shall brothers be for a' that and a' that. The American dollar is a potent force in the world today, but is not negotiable currency and will not avail in the solution of world problems which can only be solved by the Almighty and which he is going to solve in his own way." Young Men's League Donates Bibles. The Young Men's league of the Concord Baptist Church in Brooklyn, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss is pastor, has donated to the church 252 Bibles to be used in the pews by the members and congregation at public worship. The league also gave the church $12 in cash. The presentations were made on the occasion of the league's first appearance in a body at the evening services of the church on Sunday, Sept. 8. Mr. Charles H. Vann, president of the organization, made the presentation address. Both Races to Live Together in Peace. Dr. William J. Thompkins, in an address before the National Negro Educational congress recently held in Denver, is credited as having said: "We abhor the mere expression of social equality as the average white man sees it. We ask no special favors, but we do ask for a square deal to make opportunities for men. The Negro is here to stay. He and the white man are tied together by location, by education, by language, by custom and by blood. They cannot be separated if they would." Young Virginian Found Guilty of Wife Murder. 1930 ALLEN WILL FIGHT CHARGE Millionaire Accused of Smuggling Jewelry Into Country. New York, Sept. 8.—United States District Attorney Wise has learned that at least one of the two wealthy men indicted in the Helen Dwelle Jenkins smuggling case will fight the case to the bitter end. He is Nathan Allen, the Kenosha (Wis.) millionaire, formerly head of the leather trust and one time admirer of the fascinating divorce, who, after a quarrel with Allen, is supposed to have given the government information concerning the gigantic plot whereby hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry were illegally brought into this country. The other indicted man, John R. Collins, friend of Allen, and a wealthy coal operator in Memphis, has not yet indicated what he will do about the charges. Early Reports Have Been Reversed by Later Returns. Portland, Me., Sept. 13.—Revised returns on the question of the repeal of constitutional prohibition reduces the majority against repeal to 295. The total vote stood: For repeal, 60,216; against repeal, 60,511. After a day of almost constant surprises, in which the result was many times hanging in the balance, it appeared, with returns in from town and city clerks in all but nineteen towns and plantations, that prohibition had won in the special election. The change from an apparent victory for the "wet" side by 700 votes to 300 votes in favor of the "drys" came as a big surprise. The prohibitionists had practically conceded defeat, while representatives of those who sought the repeal of the constitutional amendment had sent out numerous statements on the strength of their apparent safe majority. MANYFLOOD REGUGEES DYING Five Hundred Chinese Perish Dally in Inundated Section. Shanghai, Sept. 12.—The troops the Chinese government is concentrating to suppress disorders in the Yangtsekiang river flood district will probably see serious fighting soon. The authorities are so overwhelmed by the disaster's extent that small effort is being made toward relieving the refugees, who are desperate. The average number of deaths daily among the 70,000 survivors surrounding Nanking alone is approaching 500, of whom perhaps 50 per cent die literally of starvation and the balance of exposure and disease. Looting and murder are growing rapidly more prevalent. There is still no sign of subsidence of the flood. FOURTEEN DROWN AT SEA Schooner With Cargo of Mahogany Burns Off Nicaragua. New York, Sept. 12.—Fourteen men were drowned in the sinking of the schooner Whisper off the Nicaraguan coast, according to cables received here from Port Limon. The schooner, commanded by Captain Winston Hall of Philadelphia, carried a cargo of mahogany, which caught fire and burned to the water's edge. An explosion of gasoline finally sent the ship to the bottom with all on board. 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c BEATTIE GUILTY IN FIRST DEGREE JUDGE GIVES DEATH PENALTY Twelve Men Spend Brief Time In Prayer, Then Vote Unanimously for Conviction. Chesterfield Courthouse, Va., Sept. 9.—Twelve Virginia farmers knelt at dusk in the obscurity of the small jurryroom at Chesterfield Courthouse, praying fervently that they might pass judgment aright on Henry Clay Beatle, Jr., indicted for the murder of his wife. They arose a moment later and silently one by one recorded a unanimous verdict of "gullity." Pausing in solemn contemplation for fifty-eight minutes, weighing carefully the meaning of their decision and once more on bended knees beseeching divine assistance that they might not err, they filed into the hushed stillness of a crowded courtroom and with startling suddenness twelve voices, instead of the usual one of the foreman, spoke the single word "gullity." It was almost a shout. The perfunctory motions for a new trial were made by counsel for the defense. The usual granting of permission even to argue the point was denied, as Judge Watson in a stern voice declared that all rulings of the court were on comparatively unimportant detail and in no way could have influenced the verdict. A stay of execution was granted, however, in order to give counsel an opportunity to apply for writ of error when the court of appeals meets in November. Judge Watson delivered an impressive speech to the prisoner. He told how the young man had stained his own life and that of the way in which he lived by his sordid acts. "You have had a fair and impartial trial, Mr. Beattie," said Judge Watson, "and the jury has done what it considers its duty. Therefore, you have been convicted of murder in the first degree, and on Nov. 24, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, you must forfeit you life to the community. May God have mercy on your soul." FEW PRESENT AT CEREMONY Colonel Astor and Miss Madeline Force United in Matrimony. Newport, R. I., Sept. 10.—Colonel John Jacob Astor and Miss Madeline Force were married at Beechwood, the colonel's handsome Newport villa, by Rev. Edwin S. Straight, the carpenter-clergyman of Providence. Besides Mr. and Mrs. William Force, father and mother of the eighteen-year-old bride, her sister Katherine, Dr. Rufus E. Darrax and nineteen-year-old Vincent, son of Colonel Astor, Rev. Joseph Cooper of the First Methodist church of Newport was present to add ministerial dignity to a wedding he would not perform but did not mind observing, as the carpenter-minister went through the ceremony which matrimonially bound the multi-millionaire and his bride. OFFICERS ARREST CROOK Federal Authorities Capture Noted Gold Brick Man. Chicago, Sept. 13.—S. A. Potter, also known as George W. Post, said by federal officials to be one of the best known gold brick and green goods confidence men in the world, was arrested here by C. F. De Woody, division superintendent of the department of justice, on a charge of operating a confidence game. Potter and two companions for whom federal officials are searching are said to have netted $1,500,000 in the past few years by the operation of their schemes. Potter offered a cash bond of $50,000 for his release, but it was refused by federal officials, who declared that nothing less than a cash bond of $150,000 would be accepted. CONGRESSMAN LATTA DEAD Nebraska Representative Expires Following Operation. Rochester, Minn., Sept. 13.—Congressman James P. Latta, representative of the Third district of Nebraska in congress, who was operated upon by the Mayo brothers here Aug. 22 for gallstones and was believed to be recovering until Saturday last, when a relapse set in, is dead. It is said his advanced age and the fact that his vitality has not been high for some years contributed to the result. A second operation would have been required to free him of the aliment. His kidneys proved a serious factor in his recovery and but little food could be given him. Prominent Physician Dead. New York, Sept. 12.—Dr. George Alexander de Santos Saxe, one of the best known physicians in this country, is dead of heart disease at his home here. Entered in the Post office at Minneapolis, June 23, as second class matter. Published Every Saturday by CHARLES SUMNER SMITH, 1419 Washington Ave. So., Minneapolis, Minn. T. S. Center 2520.

If It's in the Star, It's right Pald up subscriptions are our best "Boosters" Are you one? A NOTORIOUS DIVE. It was reported that The Star caused the lid to be put on in St. Paul. The Star will explain. There was a big crap game at Curley Campbell's dive, where a man named Stark lost some money and his wife demanded its return. That's all. The Twin City Star advocates the existence of the social clubs, wherever conducted with a purpose to give comfort to the men, who are in need of its appointments. The social club is as great a necessity to our railroad employees and other working men as the Commercial Club is to the merchants of the city. They should not be made to suffer for the crookedness and ignorant shortcomings of such noted libertines and joint-keepers as Campbell. He is running a place which is a disgrace to the Negroes of St. Paul. We have nothing good to say about his place and not a redeeming feature to recommend. This place was formerly conducted without being labeled as a disgrace to the race and a menace to the public. Curley is evidently in right with the public and the administration. "Corrupt privileges" has been the Negro's share of the dispensation of patronage by both political parties in many cities whereby the race may become morally and physically degraded. 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. GEE? but you're glad to see a paper from your home town, when you're in a big city, that's why the Twin City Star is popular. All of our representatives when abroad can point with pride to the news from home—The Star—the paper that placed the people of the Twin Cities before the public. SELECT SOCIETY FOR RESEARCH Unique Plan by Which to Trace History of the Race. NEW LIGHT ON OLD SUBJECTS. Organization Made Up of Well Informed Students Has For Its Object the Preservation of the Literary Works of Afro-Americans Written and Published Centuries Age. By N. BARNETT DODSON. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Yonkers, N. Y.-Several months ago Arthur Schomburg of New York city and J. E. Bruce of Yonkers discussed at the latter's residence, in Yonkers, the feasibility of establishing a society with a limited membership for the purpose of gathering information from books and through correspondence of historical value to the Negro race. Their ideas agreed, and a number of men known to be interested in work of this character were invited to attend a meeting in Yonkers not long ago, at which time the plans of Messrs Schomburg and Bruce were outlined and cordially approved by those present, and the society was organized. The name Negro Society For Historical Research was adopted and a full complement of officers was elected as follows: John E. Bruce, president; A. A. Schomburg, secretary-treasurer; Professor W. W. Weekes, musical director; David B. Fulton, librarian; W. E. Braxton, art director. Membership in the society is limited to twenty active members, and the entrance fee is $10, with a monthly tax of 25 cents. The society purposes to gather through its correspondents in the United States and foreign countries books, pamphlets and valuable manuscripts written by Negroes and when opportunity presents to reprint such books or pamphlets now out of print and coming into possession which have any historical value or which will be useful for reference. These it will endeavor to dispose of to members of the race who are interested in knowing what Negroes who wrote books fifty or a hundred years ago had to say and how they said it. The society is also making a collection of pictures, old wood cuts, photographs of Negroes here and abroad. But this feature of its work will be attended with some difficulty, as there are few pictures of noted Negroes of the early period in this country. It recently came into possession of a splendid steel engraving of Nat Turner, the Virginian Negro who headed and led an insurrection in that state in 1833, which it contemplates reproducing and disposing of for the purpose of adding to its book fund. The books thus far gathered by Messrs. Schomburg and Bruce embrace over 150 titles. A few of the more important ones are here given: "Poems of Phyllis Wheatley," 1773, first edition; "Poems of Phillis Wheatley," revised edition; "Letters of Phillis Wheatley," of which only 100 copies were published; "Anglo-African Magazine," vol. 1, 1859; "The Greatness of Christ," "Africa and America," Alex.
