Very respectfully, ...... ...... MADAM HACKLEY'S RECITAL. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 25—Madam E. Azella Hackley was greeted by a packed house of music-lovers on last Thursday night at Orchestra Hall, Michigan Ave., and Jackson Boulevard. The occasion was the retiring recital of this noted singer, and it proved to be the greatest event in the history of Chicago people. It was a success from every angle, notably in point of art, attendance and appreciation. It was largely through the efforts of Wm. Cary B. Lewis, Editor of the Illinois Chronicle who was the manager and press agent that Orchestra Hall was packed from pit to dome. Visitors were here from several states and the society people were out in great style, leaders occupying the twenty-three boxes. It is safe to state that it was the grandest and most brilliant musical and social affair that has ever taken place in this city. It was the first time that the colored people have ever had Orchestra Hall and they turned out in taxi's and auto's, the ladies wearing beautiful Paris creations and the men in full dress. Madam Hackley rendered her program in a most pleasing manner. In every number she showed the highest training, most wonderful range of voice and gave a series of vocal demonstrations that carried the house by storm. Her songs were sung with all artistry of the finished singer. The recital was of great value to all who heard her. The Tribune and Record-Herald critics spoke of her work in a most complimentary manner. Telegrams were read from all parts of the country by Mr. Cary B. Lewis and she received many handsome boquets. Madam Hackley is being urged to return next spring and train a big chorus for a public musical. INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY. Attorney Wm. L. Martin, Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, and Mrs. Ella Martin have been indicted by the grand jury of Cook County, Ill., for conspiracy, assault and for attempting to defeat the ends of justice.

The keeper placed by Binga was assaulted. Their bonds in the three courts against them amounts to $3,000.

D. M. Stearns. The Holy Spirit used several people to write the Psalms, such as David and Asaph and Moses (see titles of Psalms lxxxii, lxxxiii, lxxvxl, lxxxx and Neh. xil, 46), but no doubt each one would say as David did, "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue" (II Sam. xxilii, 2). Both prophets and poets were "the Lord's messengers with the Lord's message," speaking or writing as moved by the Holy Spirit (Hag. 1, 13; II Pet. 1, 21). The occasion of this psalm was some deliverance from some captivity which had come upon them because of their sins, possibly some of the oppressions in the days of the Judges, but it looked onward to the deliverance from the captivity in Babylon and also beyond the times in which we live to the final restoration of Israel to their own land, after which they shall be plucked up no more forever (Isa. xi, 11, 12; Jer. xxxl, 10; Amos ix, 14, 15). We cannot do better than take the division of the psalm suggested by Mr. Spurgeon in his "Treasury of David," in which he says that in verses 1-4 the poet sings of the Lord's former mercies and begs Him to remember His people; in verses 5-7 he pleads the cause of afflicted Israel, and then, having listened to the sacred oracle in verse 8, he published in verses 9-13 the joyful tidings of future good. We must always remember that there are a land and a people distinct from every other land and people chosen by God as a center of blessing to all the world—Thy land, O Immanuel, and the children of Israel, a people near unto Him (Isa. vili, 8; Ps. scxlvill, 14). But, inasmuch as the Lord God of Israel is none other than the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, He who says "I am the Lord, I change not" (Mal. ill, 6), every true child of God may claim His love and mercy as his own and rejoice in His salvation. The six times "Thou hast" of the first three verses declare Him as the doer of it all, and so we must see Him in every phase of salvation, doing all for His own name's sake, without any cause or reason why on our part except our guilt and need. "Not for your sakes, but for mine holy name's sake" (Ezek. xxvll, 22). The word "favorable" in verse 1 is in the margin "well pleased with" and reminds us of Isa. xlii, 21, "The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness' sake." There is only one with whom He is always well pleased, and His is the only righteousness that can stand, but it is given freely to all penitent ones (I Cor. 1, 11; II Cor. v, 21; Isa. lxi, 10; xlv, 24), and all such can rejoice in iniquity forgiven, sin covered, wrath gone (Ps. xxxli, 1, 2; Rom. iv, 6-8; I Thess. 1, 10; I John ii, 12). The word "salvation" in verses 4, 7, 9, opens to us the whole Bible and fixes our eyes and our hearts upon Him of whom, as His redeemed ones, we are able to say, "Behold, God is my salvation," and of whom old Simeon spake when, holding the Babe in his arms he said, "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation" (Isa. xl, 2; Luke 11, 30). I am helped by thinking of Him and His salvation under six aspects, threefold as individual and threefold in a larger sense. Our individual salvation includes first all that becomes ours when we receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour—eternal life, forgiveness of sins, acceptance in Him, etc., then the working this out or manifesting it in the daily life and then the perfection of it all in our glorified body at His coming. The larger aspect includes first the whole church, His body, then and all nations. What a word it is and what a glorious privilege to proclaim it and to announce that "the grace of God bringeth salvation to all men" (Tit. ii, 11). The question will not down, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" to tell the wondrous story, but so very few are saying, "Here am I; send me" (Isa. vi, 8). Verse 8 should take hold of every believer's heart, and there should be a firm determination to hear only what God the Lord has said. Opinions of men concerning the things of God are worth nothing and are often worse than nothing and had better never have been uttered. In Christ Jesus, by virtue of His great sacrifice by which He made peace (Col. 1, 20), there is peace with God for every penitent and perfect peace which passeth all understanding for any and every one whose mind is stayed on Him (Rom. v, 1; Isa. xxvl, 3; Jer. xxix, 11; Phil. iv, 6; John xiv, 27). Righteousness and peace are inseparably associated, for there can be no peace apart from righteousness, and it must be the righteousness of His providing, for He says that ours is only filth rags (Isa. lxiv, 6). It is true now, as it will be in His kingdom upon this earth, that "the work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect (or service) of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isa. xxxll, 17). With this righteousness we have the assurance of all good (Ps. lxxiv, 11; Rom. vill, 32). TWIN CITY STAR THE HONEST ADVERTISER. Crisis Ad. Man Discusses Danger of Exaggerating the Faota. Albon Lewis Holsey, the bright and promising young advertising manager for the Crisis magazine, takes editors to task who accept doctored copy. Mr. Holsey says: The one great fault noticeable in the average run of advertisements is the tendency to exaggerate. Some persons seem to think that exaggeration is the first step in advertising. But such is not the case. The public is now demanding such a high literary standard for its newspapers that exaggerated statements made under the gulse of advertisements is out of place and has no point of appeal. Afro-American editors should guard their advertising columns with the same care they exercise toward the literary items. They should not permit anything that has any element of fake to be inserted as an advertisement because when the public has been swindled through a newspaper they straightway lose confidence in it. Recently I saw this remarkable statement in a well known — weekly. "The editor of this paper wishes to state that a certain misleading statement made in the — advertisement last week is not his personal views. Advertisers buy space in our paper and are privileged to say what they think best to give their advertisement the desired effect." I cannot understand why any editor would accept for his readers any advertisement that he did not believe in himself. People have no confidence in a paper that accepts unreliable advertisements and, knowing this, the honest advertiser avoids them. NEWSPAPER MEN TO MEET IN TOPEKA, KAN., NOV. 30 Western Negro Press Association Issues Call For Convention. Muskogee, Okla.—President Andrew J. Smitherman of this town and Secretary J. D. Cook of Milwaukee. Wis. have issued an urgent call for the fifteenth annual meeting of the Western Negro Press association, which is to be held in Topeka, Kan., for two days beginning on Thursday, Nov. 30. The president says: "By virtue of the official power vested in me, and in keeping with the decree of the executive board, I hereby call the fifteenth annual session of the association to meet in regular session at the time and place above mentioned." "Each member of the association is particularly urged to be present, either in person or by proxy, and a cordial invitation is hereby extended to all editors, managers, reporters, correspondents, publishers and owners of newspapers who are not members. "Colored newspapers have become very important factors in the social, industrial, economical and political life of America, and it will be well for all newspaper men who can to meet at this convention and discuss the best means of employing this great power for the benefit of the race and the country at large. "There is no greater responsibility than that which rests upon the shoulders of newspaper men, because they are the molders of public opinion. We propose to learn at this convention how best to shape this opinion for the good of the masses as well as the classes. "A very interesting program has been arranged for this occasion, and it will be of much advantage to every editor, publisher and newspaper correspondent to be present. Mutual interchange of views will no doubt be of much benefit to us all." Signed by Andrew J. Smitherman, president, and J. D. Cook, secretary. Leadership of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. Speaking of the work of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis Magazine, the Pittsburg Sunday Press says: "His many scholarly attainments, tireless efforts and unfinching loyalty are known and appreciated. His ceaseless warfare against everything that tends to interfere with the free and full exercise of all the rights and privileges guaranteed to Afro-Americans under the constitution and the laws has stamped him as a leader guided by intelligence, experience and sagacity." Washington Flies No Doubtful Flag. Booker T. Washington, besides being the world's greatest industrial educator, is a missionary Baptist and a black Republican, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. Of these three things he is never in the mist. Upon these craft he flies no doubtful flag. This much cannot be said of his traducers. He does not blow hot and cold on the same subject. The climate and the weather do not affect his mind. He is steadfast. This makes him a shining example. Some Suggestions For Uncle Sam. The Portland (Ore.)

Defective Page Defective Page SHIFT WEIGHT TO THE ENDS SPEED IS PRIME FACTOR. Long and Rangy Type of Gridiron Player Is Needed For Game's Extremities Under New Rules—Guards and Centers Need Not Be Heavy. Weight as well as speed will again be a determining factor in football this season, according to experts, and the experiences of last season will teach coaches where their weight will be of most avail. To many the mention of weight will indicate a return to the days before the "purity rules," but the weight in this season's game will be in a different place from before the reformation in gridiron tactics, and the quality of speed will be far more necessary than ever before. In the days before the frequent injuries caused a sweeping change in the code governing the pastime weight was concentrated principally in the center of the line, while the ends, the quarterback and often the halves were comparatively light men. With the present code, however, there is little call for weight in the three central positions in the line, the center and the guards, while the fullback, without the assistance of his partners in the back field, necessarily must be a fast man. Weight, in all probability, will go to the ends, while a call for quarterbacks who combine all the old virtues of the director and in addition a certain amount of weight has gone out from the various training camps. The man called "long and rangy" by the baseball writers, who has the necessary physical development for a BOSENWALD, MINNESOTA'S STAR HALF-BACK. [Many western football experts predict that Rosenwald, Minnesota's great half-back, will be given a position on the all American team this fall. Last season he was one of the best back field men in the west.] football player, will be a valuable acquisition for any of the coaches of the west. Two things are absolutely fundamental in the end, speed and weight. With practically every play in the catalogue aimed around the end or off tackle, the man guarding the extremities of the line must necessarily be sufficiently powerful to withstand attack after attack. The abolition of the old push and pull system in interference and helping the runner precludes possibility of plays inside the tackle positions gaining ground, so coaches, as was the case last season, probably will be forced to send play after play against the outskirts of the line. Speed also is required, for the forward pass will wreak havoc with the team which has not a quick pair of ends. It is generally admitted that under the rule prohibiting the ends from interfering with men eligible to receive the forward pass once they have passed the line of scrimmage several are bound to sift through, however effective may be the end's work on the line. So the end will have to have all the intuitive qualities in sizing up a play which in former years were supposed to be vested only in the august person of the quarterback. His speed also must be used in offense, for he is one of the best men eligible to receive forward passes. HOW LANGFORD CAME TO LET CAPONI STAY. Sam Langford journeyed to Winnipeg, Man., a few years ago to battle Tony Caponi. Winnipeg was the latter's stamping ground. The night of the fight a delegation drifted into Langford's dressing room. PETER BROWN "If you knock out Caponl," "the spoke sman announced, "the lights will go out and five men will take turns blazing away at you with their Gatlings." Sam rolled the whites of his eyes and answered, "Vassir." The battle started. Caponi kept wading into Sam, while the latter just stood off and jabbed. In the seventh round Caponi drove a crushing left flush on Sam's jaw. The latter got sore. He also figured that all the gun talk was "bull." Like a wild tiger he started after Caponi and with lefts and rights battered him over the ring. Measuring Tony, Sam slammed over a right, and the latter began to slink to the floor. The lights began to flicker, and suddenly all was dark. From the ring came a loud shriek. "For goodness' sake, turn on dem lights." And when they blazed again Sam was standing in the ring supporting Caponi. That fight went the limit. GOOD KICKERS IN DEMAND. Football Coaches Devoting Time to Men Who Can Goot Ball. All the colleges are devoting much time to their drop and place kickers. Marshall at Pennsylvania, Dean at West Point, Topham at Bucknell, Howe at Yale, Sprackling at Brown, Thorpe at Carlisle and Butler at Cornell are but a few of the men very likely to score by putting the ball over the bar if 1915 Photo by American Press Association DEAN, WEST POINT'S STAR KICKER. their mates can get within twenty to forty yards of the goal line. Such perfection in the art of drop kicking would have been thought impossible only a few years ago. Davenport of Maroons Quits Football. Ira Davenport, the University of Chicago's great quarter mile runner and last year a member of the varsity eleven, playing in the backfield, has decided to devote all of his attention to track athletics and will not play football again. FORWARD PASSES. Brown has developed another star in Crowther, its diminutive halfback. He has been the feature of several of Brown's games, making many spectacular runs. Michigan seems also to have a one man team, as Thompson, their halfback, made all the touchdowns against Case school recently and seemed to be about the whole show. Brown's interference this season is the best thing in that line that has been seen for a decade. Sprackling follows it like a deer, and it seems almost impossible to break up. Football critics the country over are surprised at the remarkably strong showing that the small elevens have been making this fall. They can advance no particular reason for the form reversal. Minnesota football experts are making a great fuss over Ralph Capron, the Gophers' new back field star. Ralph's brother used to win games for Minnesota by kicking field goals; hence the enthusiasm over Ralph. TWIN CITY STAR SERVED IN MANY CAPACITIES Brief Record of Man Who Served as a Cook In the Union Army, Wounded at Battle of Fair Oaks and Subsequently Enlisted in Twentieth New York Colored Regiment. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—William E. Gross, the subject of this sketch, was born, reared and educated in New York city. He is of Indian extraction on his father's side and is one of New York's oldest and most highly respected citizens. While attending the old Mulberry street public school, of which the Rev. John Peterson was the principal, young Gross won several prizes for excellence in his studies. When the civil war broke out he secured the position of cook in the Army of the Potomac, in which position he witnessed some stirring scenes on the battlefield. While he was not an enlisted soldier, he nevertheless performed some difficult tasks for the soldiers in camp, warning them many times of the approach of the enemy. At the battle of Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill, however, he was severely wounded in the performance of his duty. After returning to New York, where he recovered from his wound, Mr. Gross enlisted in the Twentieth New York colored regiment. Fearing that the physical strain would be too much for their son, Mr. and Mrs. Gross persuaded him to follow a more quiet life. Whereupon Mr. Gross secured a position as waiter, in a restaurant and afterward became steward for one of New York's wealthy clubs. In this position he met men of national promi- M. B. H. nence and wealth, whose friendship he turned to good account in dollars and cents. By thrift and economy he saved enough of his earnings to secure a first class catering outfit and soon launched out into business for himself. He has been eminently successful in his line and numbers among his patrons some of the wealthiest families in the city. Being well known and having bad years of experience at the trade before entering business on his own hook gave Mr. Gross a prestige which meant success from the very start. Of course he met obstacles, some prejudice and difficulties, but he persistently overcame them. Mr. Gross has been associated in almost all good movements for the betterment of the race for many years. In secret and benevolent organizations he is perhaps better known first as a past officer in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. When the Society of the Sons of New York was a potent factor in the social club life among Afro-Americans Mr. Gross was one of its most active and influential members. He served the society in the capacity of president for three years. Of the many public movements in which Mr. Gross has taken part and which he has aided with his money and personal effort it was not until the heated discussion of a decade or two ago to decide the question of mixed schools in New York that his real race pride asserted itself. It was largely through Mr. Gross' influence with Grover Cleveland, who was then governor of New York state, that the governor quickly concluded to sign the mixed school bill. State Convention In New York. The sixteenth annual session of the New York colored Baptist state convention will be held with the Day Star Baptist church, in One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street, New York, Rev. Dr. R. J. Brown pastor, for four days, beginning on Thursday, Oct. 20. At this session the convention aims to raise $3.500 for the following purposes: Education and home and foreign missions. President, Rev. Dr. S. W. Timms of Holy Trinity Baptist church, Brooklyn; corresponding secretary, Rev. T. J. King, pastor of the Messiah Baptist church, Yonkers, N. Y. WILLIAM R. GROSS GREETINGS TO ALL KNIGHTS TEMPLARS: Dear Brothers Sir Knights as your Grand Marshal for the International Conference of Knights Templars which will convene in the city of Washington in 1912, I send you greetings and ask that you begin preparing to make the pilgrimage to that city. Get ready for the grand parade to be held on that occasion. Let us show the world just what we can do in this matter. It will require the united efforts of all who are interested in the success of Templarism to make this a day long to be remembered among our number. I hope that each jurisdiction will keep me informed as to their intention to participate in this grand affair. I shall be pleased to hear from any Sir Knight and to furnish any information he may desire. Yours fraternally, Howard W. Pinn 91 W. Rutland Square, Boston, Mass ON TO WASHINGTON CLUB.

A NEGRO FOOT-BALL PLAYER. The University of Nebraska team which was defeated by the University of Minnesota on last Saturday, had among their players Mr. Clinton Ross, who on account of a sore shoulder, was kept on the side lines. Mr. Ross is a member of the Sophomore Law Class, and has the reputation and appearance of a great football player. The Catholic Church has done more for the American Negro than any other of the religious denominations or political porties. It's leaders have drawn around black men the "magic circle of the church" and held at bay the riot-ruffians of the North as well as the hell-hounds of the South.

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION Would it not be a good thing to organize a National Editorial Press Association? The Bee doesn't mean a bogus institution or an institution that will admit persons who say that they are editors but in reality they are nothing but frauds. An editorial association among colored editors is what is needed in this country. A real live intellectual body of men who edit legitimate papers. The country is full of newspaper frauds who are imposing upon the country. This city is an asylum for all kinds of frauds. There are frauds in every profession in this city. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disf-anchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and be tween now and 1912 they will keep them open.—The Bee, Wash. D. C. ANNOUNCEMENT. We are glad to announce that the Tri City Age, the official bulletin of the Federated Women's Clubs will re-appear after a suspension during the summer months. Mrs. Ione E.

There are about 30 inmates at the Colored Home and Orphanage and our people should contribute freely to its support. If you doubt the existence of the institution and its good, you will change your opinion after a visit. Frequently our people are refused by other institutions and sent to the Home.

Some day you may be forced to seek food, shelter and raiment within its walls, and we know not how soon it will be. BUY THE STAR AT FORAKER'S Mr. M. C.

We claim to be the best advertising medium of the Twin Cities, and when you're not advertised in the Twin City Star, you need not show—that's all. Because the people read the Star for the news, especially in Minneapolis. The day of the Town Crier is past. Be up-to-date, Advertise and Pay for it. A newspaper is the best medium. It reaches the homes and firesides of people who attend public entertainments. These people never go out and lotter around and read hand-bills and hang-up notices. They read the Twin City Star. Read The Twin City Star. A. Milady's Mirror A Beautiful Arm. In developing the curves which should show on the fore arm a ten minute—not too violent—dumbbell exercise daily is an excellent thing. The dumbbells should weigh one pound. Clinching the hands with arm extended and lifting the hand up and down by bending the wrist will work wonders in a short time. If the skin on the upper arm is rough and red an occasional use may be made of pumice stone dipped in lemon juice diluted with water. The arms should not be exposed to the air unless rubbed with cold cream and covered with powdered oatmeal or some good dusting powder. For pointed elbows soaking in hot water for ten minutes and then massaging with a cream which has a basis of olive oil is a good thing. For fattening the arms in general bathe them alternately in hot and cold water, finishing with cold. In drying the flesh it is a mistake to rub too hard, but if the drying process is not thorough the skin will become coarse. It is seldom that arms are too fat. For such cases there are several massage rollers which if applied will cause the flesh to melt away like dew before the morning sun. If the wrist is properly exercised it will keep slender, and then it would be difficult to imagine a too fat arm. The fingers should all be exercised separately by making each of them meet the thumb tip to tip, forming a round, then opening and closing twenty times in succession. This will be found to add greatly to the "expression" of the hands, which forms a most subtle attraction. For the Housewife. Immediately after washing the dishes and pans the housewife's hands should be carefully washed in clean warm water with the toilet soap, using a nailbrush at the same time. There will be a tremendous saving to the fingers if the pans are washed by putting a strong soap powder into them as soon as removed from the stove, adding a little hot water and then replacing them on the stove for a few minutes. When the water comes to a boll a small stiff brush may be washed around in the tins. They are rinsed in clear water and are scrupulously clean without the fingers having come into contact with the grease. When the fingers have been washed and wiped the nails and backs of the hands are to be thoroughly rubbed with vaseline or cold cream and gloves drawn on. They should be worn all the time that sweeping and dusting are being done. On finishing the housework the gloves are removed and the skin will be found soft and smooth. If any cream adheres it may be washed off, wiping with a dry towel. This treatment will keep the skin soft, no matter what work is done. Health For the Hair To keep the hair healthy as well as clean it should be massaged regularly for a few minutes every night and if possible every morning as well. Pass the tips of the fingers lightly but firmly all over the scalp with a rotary movement. This treatment, combined with plenty of brushing in the open air, will do more toward making the scalp healthy and producing a thick, vigorous growth of hair than any other known method. It will also prevent the hair from falling out. With some present modes of coiffure the woman who has not much hair of her own has to supplement with false hair, and, though this is unpleasant, it cannot well be avoided. But wear as little of it as you can do with and have it cleaned regularly. To Soften Water: When the skin is affected by the hardness of the water add this lotion to the water and it will soften it; Borax, one-half ounce; almond meal, three ounces; powdered rocst root, one ounce; fine oatmeal, three ounces. Mix thoroughly, divide into small portions and tie up into little muslin bags. Soak one of the bags overnight in the water to be used for washing in the morning and the water will be soft and the complexion much improved. Combs and Hairpins. Wear as few hairpins and combs as possible, as these drag the hair and stop it from growing, and, above all, if you want thick, healthy hair be careful of your brushes and combs. Have them washed at least once a week, and never make use of public dressing room brushes and combs, which in all probability have not a large acquaintance with soap and water and may have been last used by—who knows? Hand Soap. A homemade soap to whiten the hands and face may be made as follows: Lemon juice, one wineglassful; cau de cologne, one wineglassful; a good brown soap, two cakes. Scrape the soap to a fine powder, mix with the other ingredients and use instead of ordinary soap when washing the hands. Entered in the Post office at Minneapolis, June 23, as second class matter.

"It would be a crying shame against the people of the country to admit that the Constitution of the United States was being indirectly violated; and no man is a safe legislator or representative of the people who favors the indirect violation of the Constitution of the United States."—Sen. Heyburn. UNLIMITED LAWLESSNESS. The sentiment of the American public knows no bounds. They chose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. Policy writers will soon learn that they live under the same law that convicted Albert Adams, a millionaire lottery (policy) owner of New York City to a term in Sing Sing. Not only do women play the game of policy, or buy the lottery drawings, but the regular female customers do so by proxy. They "phone" their plays in to the writer, and they get what is coming to them if they win. It is lucky for Jaller Loomis that none of the well known prisoners escaped from the County Jail. It was just a Negro burglar, who had nothing, therefore, no one can claim that Loomis was bribed. "The Republican Party is a ship, all else is the sea," said Fred. Douglass. The Grand Old Man was unquestionably right when he made this assertion. But since the many changes, it is better to be drifting on the bosom of the deep blue sea with a life preserver and a hope of rescue, than as a stowaway among the cargo of an ill-fated tramp manned by incompetent officers and a mutinous crew. Minnesota will have a Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythians. The Twin City Star is now a legal newspaper, according to the Laws of Minnesota. THE NEWSPAPER AND ITS EDITOR. Editing a newspaper in some respects is a good deal like preaching. The gospel truth must be presented in the form of generalities or some fellow will get hit and howl, says a recent writer. Few persons like truth, even in homeopathic doses, if it hits them. But while preachers and editors are criticised for what they do say, no one thinks of giving them credit for what they do not say. Yet what they keep to themselves constitutes the major portion of what they know about people. Very many people harbor the belief that newspapers are eager to publish derogatory things. It's a mistake. There isn't a newspaper that could not spring a sensation in the community at any time by merely telling what it knows. There is not a newspaper that does not keep under the lock of secrecy scores of derogatory things which never meet the public eye or reach the public ear. Deciding what not to print is the most troublesome part of newspaper work. How many good stories are suppressed for innocent relatives and for the public good, nobody outside of a newspaper office has any idea of. In some instances he who flies into a passion because a newspaper prints something about him which he considers uncomplimentary has every reason to feel profoundly grateful to the newspaper for publishing so little of what it knows of him. And oft times the loudest bluffer is the most vulnerable to attack. A big noise is often a device employed to cover trepidation. Newspapers put up with more bluffing than any other agency would endure. It is not because they lack courage; it is because they are unwilling to use their power to destroy or ruin unless the interests of society imperatively demand it. It might be well for some people to reflect upon these truths and in silent gratitude accept mild admonition, lest worst befall them.—Minneapolis Argus. The gubernatorial election in Massachusetts will be watched with interest by the followers of the Negro Independent Political League. Both candidates have at times been elected and defeated for offices by Negroes—and they know the value of the Negro vote. Gov. Foss, (once a Republican) will be the Democratic candidate for re-election, and Lieut. Gov. Louis A. Frothingham, a staunch Republican who has been nominated for governor, is a Taft man. The League is in the limelight. Will prejudices or principles predominate? The "Japs" who replaced the Negro waiters on the Great Northern Dining Cars "Did not make Good."
