Defective Page THE COMMON WELFARE CLUB New Organization Will Assist In Social Settlement Work. The Common Welfare club is the newest and, when its purposes are considered, one of the most useful of the Washington clubs. This club engages in practical sociological work and helps those who are in the slums and alleys. Dr. George W. Cabanis, one of Washington's leading phylclans, is the president, and Ocea Taylor of the Washington American is secretary. The club has undertaken to help the Colored Social Settlement home at the capital. clans, is the president, and Ocea Taylor of the Washington American is secretary. The club has undertaken to help the Colored Social Settlement home at the capital. Although housed in a very neat and well kept building in the heart of the colored population, yet the Social Settlement home has been in straitened circumstances. Through the influence of the Common Welfare club great interest is being worked up in behalf of the settlement house, and generous sums of money have been and are being raised. Dr. John R. Francis, a leading member of the Common Welfare club, is president of the Social Settlement home. Recently, under the auspices of the Common Welfare club, a pay lecture by Dr. D. Webster Davis was given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. Several hundred dollars were raised at the time for the settlement house. PETER H. BURGESS Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, professor of sociology at Hampton, who has been in Washington for two years, being in charge of the two years, being in charge of the DR. J. R. FRANCE. Negro statistics of the United States census, is prominently identified with both the Common Welfare club and the movement to benefit the Social Settlement house. Dr. Jones is a sociologist of note, and his work for the club has been of a most beneficial character. The Common Welfare club numbers among its members men of high standing in official, professional, business and other circles of Washington life. Meaning of Coming National Campaign In all this blow and bluster there should be some way to make the safe and sane colored elector remember the Taft administration is not the only dogone thing that ever happened to this race of ours, says the Dallas (Tex.) Press. In the coming struggle to nominate and elect a president, if Taft and Hitchcock and Roosevelt are to be the commanders, the Negro may expect to be crucified on the cross of perfidy and political dishonor while wearing on his brow a crown of thorns. Political Reverses In Cleveland. Political Reverses in Cleveland. Although the Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, O., failed of election as delegate to the state constitutional convention to be held in Ohio in 1912, he nevertheless received a large vote. Nine other candidates fell far below the 15,000 mark reached by Mr. Smith. In the Eleventh ward Fred D. Sampson was elected as assessor. Thomas W. Fleming and Charles Crawford were defeated for councilman at large and city constable respectively. DOING REAL HARM. People who do us harm in the end are not the wrongdoers whom all execute. They are the men who do not do quite as much wrong, but who are applauded instead of being excused. The career of Benedict Arnold has done us no harm as a nation because of the universal horror it inspired. The men who have done us harm are those who have advocated disunion, but have done it so that they have been enabled to keep their political position; who have advocated repudiation of debts or other financial dishonesty, but have kept their standing in the community; who preach the doctrines of anarchy, but refrain from action that will bring them within the pale of the law, for these men lead thousands astray by the fact that they go unpunished or even are rewarded for their misdeeds.—Theodore Roosevelt. NEGRO, 113 YEARS OLD, DIES. Elkins, W. Va., Dec. 29.—Dolliver Baxter, a negro. 113 years old, died here today. At the age of 108 Baxter was a witness in a federal court case and made a remarkable impression because of the clearness of his testimony. ST. PAUL FUNERAL OF MRS. ANDREW JACK SON. One of the most impressive funerals of recent date was that of Mrs. Celestine Jackson, 603 St. Anthony Ave. who met with a horrible death on Dec. 26th. The services at the house were simple. Friends were permitted to view the remains. The cortege arrived at Pilgrim Baptist Church at 2:45, where the Household of Ruth took charge of the remains. Services were opened by singing: "Rock of Ages". Scriptural Reading and Prayer by Rev. H. P. Jones. Madam Hattie Loomis-Oliver, sang "Face to Face" with great expression. Rev. E. H. McDonald preached the sermon, selecting as his subject: Job. 19th Chap., 25th-6-7 verses. "I know that my Redeemer Liveth etc." His eulogy of the deceased, who had suffered as an invalid for many years, was comparative to Job's suffering and patience. Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha, Neb, Pastor of St. Phillips Church, offered prayer. The Household of Ruth No. 553 about 40 in number, conducted their services and paid their last sad tribute of respect to their departed sister, while the congregation joined in singing: "Shall we meet beyond the river". She leaves a husband, Mr. Andrew Jackson, and daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. J. Williams, and a host of friends. Mrs. Jackson was born in Louisiana, May 14th, 1862, became a follower of Christ at 18 years old. She came to St. Paul in 1877 and became a member of Pilgrim Baptist Church. She lived many years in Montreal, Can., where her husband was employed on the C. Ry. and she has been many years a sufferer from paralysis. She was devoted to her husband and daughter who had always shared her affliction. The pall bearers were Bros. Fred D Parker, Geo B. Lowe, Alex. Payne Geo Hunt, Jno. Dillingham and J. P Johnson of Mars Lodge, G. U. O. of O. Undertaker Thos. Lyles had charge of the remains, and had nearly removed the traces of mutilation that so disfigured her, her face had its natural appearance. She was buried in a half-couch, gray broadcloth casket, the first of its kind ever used among our people, which bore the regalia of the Household and many floral offerings.

Physicians Praise Skill of Dr. Daniel H. Williams. MAINTAINS HIGH STANDARD Story of Eminent Surgeon Who Has Successfully Performed Many Critical Operations—Considered an Authority by the Medical Profession—Staff Member of Several Institutions. By CARY B. LEWIS. Chicago.-Dr. Daniel H. Williams of this city, the eminent surgeon and physician, is maintaining an unusually high standard in the medical world. Since his early rise in the field of surgery he has been called to various sections of the country and has performed the most difficult operations with skill and ability. So successful have been these operations that the great surgeons pronounce his technique as marvelous. Twenty-five years he has toled and accomplished until he has been the "open sesame" to unexplored fields of research and means of giving to the medical world a wider knowledge and a better understanding of the laws governing the human body. The large number of critical operations which Dr. Williams has so successfully performed has been quoted throughout by the medical journals and works in surgery. It was a signal race victory when he was placed on the staff of St. Luke's hospital. In fact, he is the only colored surgeon who has done work at a white institution having the prestige which St. Luke's has. In 1910 at the third annual session of the Indiana Association of Physicians medical men clamored for admission to an operation which he was to perform at the City hospital. Entrance to the operating rooms was a great privilege, never before granted to a colored surgeon. He is recognized by physicians generally as a medical authority. It is to such men as this and to such work as Dr. Daniel Williams is able to perform that the race owes its progress and stability. He is the in- DR. DANIEL H. WILLIAMS. spiration of the climbing and the despair of those who have but small faith in this people's possibilities. It is very fitting that such work should crystallize in a clinic at Provident hospital. On Tuesday of every week the internes of the hospital and those doctors of the city who desire to attend are benefited by practical illustrations and treatments given by Dr. Williams. Here they are given the opportunity of coming into immediate contact with a master mind and hand in surgery. Provident hospital cares for a thousand patients annually. Its dispensary treats and relieves over 3,000 applicants yearly. Its district nurses visit and assist a thousand persons annually. From this school a hundred colored women have been graduated as professional nurses. The school's influence upon the race for better citizenship is invaluable. These facts make it the logical place for the clinic and the kind of work it will do. From this institution men go out to all parts of the world the better for the training which he has been able to give them. Dr. Williams is connected with the leading medical societies of America and takes an active part in them. In June, 1900, Wilberforce university conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. because he had risen to the heights of his profession and referred to as a "great surgeon" without racial modifications. Smoke the Reliable 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c | . ( Defeci WELL QUALIFIED ELDER. Work of Rev. Dr. C. D. Hazel Entities _ Him to Promotion. Asbury Park, N. J.~The minds of the Zionites are centered on the gen- eral conference which meets in Char- lotte, N. G, In May, 1912 Besides the general business which ‘comes up before the conference which has to do with the election of the gen- eral officers of the church, perhaps the most Interesting feature will be the election of the three new bishops. The large territory of the Zion connection necessitated an addition to its bishop- tic to ald In carrying on the great ma- ehinery of the church. ‘The high und honored office of bishop has caused many influential cburcb- men of the connection to aspire for the office. One of the strongest candidates for the bishopric and one who possess- es pecullar Btness for the office ts the Rev. Dr. ©. D. Hazel, the efficient and capable presiding elder of the New Jer- sey district of the New Jersey annual conference. The high deportment and efficiency of Dr. Hazel have so commended bim to the pastors and members of bis dis- trict that at the last meeting of the district conference Dr. Hazel was in- dorsed to be the man as New Jersey’s favorite for one of the bishops to be elected. He ts a North Carolinian by birth. In 1888 he joined the North Carolina conference, but was soon transferred to the western New York conference. ‘This brought bim in the midst of an intellectual center, and, desirous of be- ing thoroughly educated, be entered Brown university, luter going to Yale and then to the Boston School of The ology. ‘This widetraining makes him amply prepared for his life's work. He bas been active in many directions since graduation and bas done much for the general uplift of the Zion church.

WANT RIGHTS AFFORDED THEM BY CONSTITUTION League at Boston Says “Muskets of Daddies” Earned Thom. ‘The National Independent Political league in fourth annual session at the citadel of American freedom, organ- fzed by colored American citizens to secure for them equal rights under the constitution, especially the enforce ment of the fruits of the war for freedom—the thirteenth, fourteenth ‘and Gfteenth amendments to the con- stitution—and to foster equal oppor- tunities for all regardless of race or color, declares to the country from the “cradle of liberty” the following: We believe that the honor, welfare and security of this republic depend upon the abolition of race and color prejudice and color discrimination in citizenship and the life of the people. ‘We demand only all those rights and ‘opportunities enjoyed by all other peo- ple of the land and absolute equality for all under the law. ‘The reputation and well belng of any racial class are vitally affected by the press. The colored people suffer an unfair disadvantage from this course by the gnoring or minimizing of meritorious acts and achievements and the emphasizing of the color in all matters that reflect discredit. The denial of the right to earn one’s bread by the sweat of one’s brow be- cause of race or color is a violation of the most fundamental principles of humanity. Nothing 1s more inconsist- ent than that for Inbor, seeking rights and control of the labor market, to raw the color line. We commend such labor unions as are open to all workers and condemn those gullty of color discrimination as hostile to the real interests of labor and enemies to mankind. In view of the extraordinary and alarming state of affairs, we demand of the federal government, in the Inter- est of justice, equal rights and the se- curity of the country: Birst—The enforcement of the com stitution, to stop distranchisement and eonage. Second.—The passage of a federal anti-jimcrow car law for interstate passengers. ‘Third—Federal ald to education. with the same schooling for all. Fourth.—The restoration of the dis charged Brownsville soldiers. Fifth—Legislation making lynching a capital offense under federal jurisdte- thon, ‘We further declare our opposition to ‘any repeal of federal supervision of federal elections in the direct election of the United States senators. ‘We urge the colored men of the coun- try to use the ballot where possessed as a weapon of self defense for all ther race, to be subservient to no po- Itical party, but to vote independently for men and measures, using their suf- frage and making alliances with a view to securing equal rights and op- portunities for colored citizens. ‘olored people of America, deter- mined to have Just.ce and equality in this land of our birth, saved by the muskets of our fathers, let our slogan be—agitate, educate, organize, ever re- membering that “eternal vigilance 1s the price of liberty” and that “he who would be free must himself first strike the blow.” PERSONS WHO WISH TO AD- WERTISE MUST PAY IN ADVANCE. ‘Your Word le good, but your money Je Tegal tender, and we can use it at all times. UPLIFT WORK ~~ IN NEW YORK, Ws. M,C. Lavon Tots How Is Being Carried On, GROUPS OF CAPABLE WOMEN, By Mrs. M. C. LAWTON. Brooklyn.—The colored race, like all others, has race workers and race talk- ers, but in Greater New York there is ‘a splendid force of women who are not only talking, but doing. They feel that im a mensure they are thelr sisters’ keepers; that they themselves may be instrumental in removing many of the proscriptions in evidence against them. ‘They realize first, that in union there is strength; secondly, that the glitter and gleam of society, fine clothes, sumptuous tables and social functions are but fleeting joys and that an entire life thus spent is but a tale that is told. ‘They further realize that the race cannot rise in sec- tions, but must rise as a whole; that inevitable doom and destruction await them unles: they constitu themselves inte moral, mental and intellectual der ricks for the uplift of womanhood. The ‘arms of these wotn- en form the sides os 1’ ED Ly ane Ps unvors: while their hands clasped in friendship and love constitute the rounds. For the first time in the history of Brooklyn what is called the ‘‘col- ored section” can boast of a well or- ganized neighborhood club, a club com- posed of honest, hardworking wom- en, women whose hearts are as true as steel and whose sense of honor and integrity far transcends that of some women who live in a higher at- mosphere and who would scorn being classified among the mediocre women. ‘This organization, which had {ts ori- gin with about six women two years ago, now numbers between fifty and seventy-five substantial members. Not only are they interested in everything that pertains to thelr own tmprove- ment and development, but are eager to become factors in the uplift of those less fortunate in life. Besides contributing to the matn- tenance of the Settlement House in this city, they have cheerfully assumed their quota of financial responsibility for the support of Harriett Tubman. They are learning that well kept homes, and neat and tidy personal appear- ance, together with refined, cultured deportment, are an index to worth and character. They have learned that there is a vast difference between pov- erty and immorality; that the one may exist absolutely without disgrace and dishonor, while the other cannot. Mrs. E.

Then, in the event of some slight indisposition. it 1s possible to invite a woman guest to go upstairs {nto a bedroom, where the dowdy dress of the hostess would not be so much ‘out of place. ‘To receive a man friend tn such at- tire would be a grave indiscretion, for men abominate the flowing, unattrac tive robe, and as it is always sug- gestive of the absence of corsets it ‘seems on such occasions vulgar in the extreme. ‘The easy house gown, then, must Jook as if it is worn over corsets to be within the pale of the proprieties, and if masculine eyes are to look upon ft t must be attractive and belted in to the figure to boot. But only an old lady or a young matron who !s com- pelled to dress in this manner should make a practice of recetving guests in such informal attire, for the dignity of suitable dress adds greatly to one’s social importance—above all, pretty, proper and becoming dress in the eceee Netes of Condolence. ‘There are persons who never take notice of another's sorrow until they meet the bereaved ones.

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 execu tioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. * OpPoRTUNITY. A Negro can coms 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. THE NEWSPAPER AND ITS EDITOR. Editing a newspaper in some re- spects 1s a good deal like preaching. ‘The gospel truth must be presented in the form of generalities or some fel- low will get hit and howl, says a re cent writer. Few persons like truth, even in homeopathic doses, if it hite 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 const!- tutes the major portion of what they know about people. Very many peo- ple harbor the belief that newspa- pers are eager to publish derogatory things. It's a mistake. There tsn't a newspaper that could not spring a sensation in the community at any time by merely telling what it knows. There 1s 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, no- body 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 uncompll- mentary has every reason to feel pro- foundly 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 at- tack. A big noise fs often a device employed to cover trepidation. News- papers put up with more bluffing than any other agency would endure. It {8 not because they lack courage; ft 1s because they sre unwilling to use thelr power to destroy or ruin unless the interests of society im. peratively 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—Mtnneapolis Argus. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY.

LARGE DELEGATION PRESENT Professor R. B. McRary In Lengthy Address at the Forty-second Annual Session of the State Masonic Fraternity Tells of the Progress Which the Order Is Making. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING Greensboro, N. C.-The forty-second annual session of the grand lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of the jurisdiction of North Carolina recently held in this city was an epoch making event for Afro-American Masons in this section of the country. Over 800 delegates were in attendance. They represented the intellectual and progressive element of the race. It is the strongest fraternity in the state. It has made excellent investments, such as North Carolina bonds, and has over $16,000 in the endowment department. The well known scholar and capitalist Professor R. B. McRary, who is an excellent example for the young of the race and whose rating places him among the moneyed men of the state, is the most worshipful grand master for the state. Owing to his ability as a financier and business man the order has never before experienced such glowing results. Colonel James H. Young, the well rounded business man, is the endowment secretary; Dr. O. S. Brown, the well known educator, pulpitere and public spirited man, is the grand secretary, and A. Middleton is the grand treasurer. These, with W. S. Simmons, are the grand lodge officials. The report of Colonel Young shows that during the past Masonic year $49,700 has been paid to the widows and orphans and a large sum to charitable institutions. The annual address of Professor McRary was the most masterly effort ever heard by the grand lodge. He said in part: Not only are we making our record on the pages of history, but we are making the pathway for our successors to future and much greater achievements. Our curators will be in awake, nor will it be stained with innocent blood. Our object is not war or persecution, but upon our banners, proudly waving, are inscribed the insignia of the triple alliance—"Brotherly love, relief and mercy"—in the memorials enclosed into exileism, simply to meet se- A. H. PROFESSOR R. B. M'BARY. clety's transient demands are writing their history in sand. Not so with Masonry. The sand upon which it is founded fundamentals. They spring from the institutions of our moral, intellectual and social nature. Those who travel this way, as many have done before them, have only to hold themselves erect, as they have been taught to do, and not as "taught" in the form formed prone to the earth" in order to behold the ever increasing light, those full influence marks the orient of perfect knowledge. A Mason should never allow himself to be influenced by personal bias, petty jealousy or competition in business in an unauthorized manner. A "knocker," lending color to the defamation of the character and reputation of another. If he sees one overtaken in a fault, remind him in the most friendly manner of his error. I desire to call your attention to a circular letter of inquiry sent out for the purpose of gathering information on the material status of the craft in this state. Of the nearly 400 letters of inquiry thus dispatched 510 have returned answers. I have prepared a tabulated statement of the same for reference, but I will only give you at this time the several summaries as they now appear. The 510 lodges have 1,000 rooms, 100 hundred and fifty lodges own halls with a probable valuation of $154,170. Number of members owning, homes, 4,570, revealing the fact that more than 50 per cent own homes; 4,234 farmers, and 2,292 own their farms; 718 mechanics, 19 lawyers, 65 doctors, 842 business men, 342 college graduates, 324 professional teachers, 424 licensed nurses and several college presidents, 6,686 church members, well nigh 100 per cent. I verily believe that Masonry is to play no inconspicuous part in helping on the solution of the vexing problems that are taxing the brains of statesmen, philanthropists, and the people of Maryland. It is obliged to do so if we who are identified with the order will live up to its principles and tenets and close our doors to such as will not try to square their lives with such teaching. The address occasioned a great demonstration. Professor McRary and the other officials were re-elected for another year. The next annual grand lodge will convene in Asheville, N. C. RISING YOUNG SONGSTER. Ode to Ethiopia Gave E. S. Jones His Passport to Freedom. Edward Smyth Jones, a native of Mississippi, blids hair to rival Paul Laurence Dunbar a writer of verse. Mr. Jones has long cultivated the muse and gained much public notice a year or so ago when he was arrested as a vagrant while trying to enter Harvard university. "The Ode to Ethiopia" is a historical epic and is regarded as being responsible for his being released from the jail at Cambridge. Mass., where he was confined after being arrested at Harvard. Even Judge Arthur P. Stone, who dismissed the charge of vagrancy against him, said, "Gentlemen, I do not wish to be judge, but this is better poetry than I find in the current magazines." The Boston American called this poem "his passport to freedom," while the Boston Globe said of him and his "Ode to Ethiopia," "One of those geniuses who, like Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alexander Dumas, occasionally comes forth to proclaim the intellectual equality of the Negro race." Mr. Jones is the author of a book of poems called "The Sylvan Cabin," with an introduction by W. Stanley Braithwaite, the writer. The "Ode to Ethio- A. E. EDWARD SMYTH JONES. pla" is a classic and is not written in the dialect which characterizes most poems on the Negro. It gives a recap- tulation of the deeds of the race in all ages. It begins: Thou sovereign queen of Afric's sunny strands. I smite my lyre to sing thy praise unsing In strains far sweeter than seraph's bands A lay deep'in my bosom's core is sprung. Fair queen, although my years as yet be young. Deep thoughts and musings of thy history old. Where odes and fiery epics long have hung, Live centuries in my immortal soul And where sweet Lydian measures on my harp, of gold! This ode consists of nineteen Spencerian stanzas, and into it the author pours his soul. A perusal of it thrills one with pride for his race and animates his soul to put forth greater efforts. He pays the following beautiful tribute to the virtue and charms of women: I call thee angel of this earth, For angel true thou art In noble deeds and sterling worth And sympathetic heart. I have been seen from afar For what they might have been, But sing the praise of those which are, That dwell on earth with men. This young versifier of the higher life of the race is paid the following tribute by William Stanley Braithwaite in the introduction to "The Sylvan Cabin:" "To this I can only add that, good as these are, they give us hope for better from one who ought certainly to go on and upward." The Washington Star says: "Though a representative of the race which has given Paul Laurence Dunbar to the world, he strikes an even higher note than that lamented pioneer in the field of Afro-American poetry. There is no suggestion of the 'plantation' in these verses, which are unidentifiable as the output of one born in Mississippi." HOWARD ORPHAN ASYLUM. Institution Which Cares For Many Children Makes Progress. The Howard Colored Orphan asylum, now located in its new home in Kings Park. New York, has had a most successful year. It has cared for 248 children, representing thirty-two states in the Union. Besides Superintendent and Mrs. James H. Gordon, there are forty-five other employees—teachers, matrons, housekeepers and other caretakers. The institution is supported by voluntary contributions from among the several churches of both white and colored people in Greater New York. The board of trustees is also composed of members of both races. Upon the trustees largely rests the responsibility of securing funds with which to carry on the work. The children are given a good elementary education, as well as being taught several trades, such as carpentry, drawing, domestic science, shoemaking, basketry, agriculture and dairying. Other subjects are to be added as the children show capacity to advance. Vocal music is one of the special features of the educational work of the institution. Society of Sons of North Carolina. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina, a mutual benefit organization in Brooklyn, held its sixteenth annual reception on Monday, Jan. 1. The society has a large membership and is worth several thousand dollars. TWIN CITY STAR AN ALMANAG OF YE OLDEN TIME AN ALMANAG OF YE OLDEN TIME FORTUNATELY for our forefathers, the almanacs had some claims to literary merits in their day. Reading matter was scarce outside of the larger towns of the colonies. Magazines were practically unknown. Filled with prognostications as to the weather, with snatches of wisdom and humor, verse and essay, the annual almanac became a compendium of useful knowledge that was most eagerly awaited and was hailed as an important event in many a home. One might say that it was treated as a household god, for, hung upon a hook in some corner, it always was ready for instant reference. The wise saws and quiet sayings which ran through its pages were read over time and again by every member of the family. There were numerous almanacs published during colonial days in this country. The popularity of Poor Richard's Almanac, edited by Benjamin Franklin, went hand in hand with that of its illustrious maker. The first Ames Almanac, issued in 1726, was conventional in form and closely followed other almanacs of the period. Its maker was a physician. It contained a table of the movements of the planets and sundry prophecies concerning the weather. That the doctor was afraid of severe criticism of this first effort is indicated by the following stanza, which also illustrates the style of his poetry: Read, then, and learn, but don't all faults object. Since they can only judge that can cor- Since they can only judge that can correct. rect. To nom my works appeal, and if I find the ans of art to favor them inclin'd, With their propitious smiles it shall surface To counterpoise the frowns of enemies. An examination of the files of the Ames Almanac shows that nearly every conceivable subject was discussed by the doctor in its nearly forty years of publication. Sometimes he indulged in flights of imagery, as in November, 1730: Old winter's coming, void of all delight, With trembling steps. His head is baid and white. His hair with robes of icicles is hung. His chatt'ring teeth confound his useless tongue. He makes the rich to spend and poor to buy For want of that which would their wants supply. In the opening lines of the almanac for 1738 Dr. Ames takes a fling at lawyers, priests and doctors and blames old, overburdened Adam for their existence. Thus: Had Adam stood in innocence till now And his blest sons had deign'd to hold the plow. No labor had fatigu'd nor time had spoiled His youth, but spring had ever blooming smil'd. No lust for pelf nor heart distressing pain Had seized the miser nor the rural swain. Nor vice, as now, with virtue ne'er had vied. And women its omnipotence itself defy'd. Nor lawyers, priests nor doctors ne'er had been If man had stood against th' assaults of sin. But, oh, he fell! And so accurs'd we be. The world is now obliged to use all three Probably the most interesting portions of these almanacs are the bits of wisdom and humor which went WILL JONES ALWAYS READY FOR INSTANT REFERENCE, with each calendar month. A few ill- ustrations will suffice to show the sort of thing that amused our ancestors: FEBRUARY, 1738. Pretty cold, freezing nights, followed with a short storm. Let travelers be upon their guard to defend their noses. FEBRUARY, 1747. The farmer now's resolvid he will not freeze While he has pipes, tobacco, fire, with good bread and cheese. OCTOBER, 1753. Those that are husbands good now get in their cider, grain and wood. An honest friend is good company, but a good conscience is the best guest. SEPTEMBER, 1763. Virtue is praised more than followed. To some men their country is their shame, and some are the shame of their country. Love and Time. "Charm, New Year, of your good grace. These sad wrinkles from Love's face." "Wan and weary now he seems. Bring him back the dreams, the dreams! "Arch above him April skies. Kiss the light into his eyes. "Lead him back to moments fled— Lure Love's roses from the dead!"

"Now the stem, of rose bereft, Love must keep the thorn that's left. "Merry is the wintry morn. Love is dead, and Love is born!" —Baltimore Herald. Society For Historical Research Gives Their Names. If the progress of a race is to be in any wise judged by the capacity of its members to grasp intellectual knowledge, retain it and use it for the common welfare of the masses of its own people as well as to benefit the public generally, then the following list of twenty named men (selected by the Negro Society For Historic Research, Yonkeng, N. Y.) who have won their spurs as authors, scientists, philosophers, statesmen and warriors is a refutation of the charge made by some person that the colored race is incapable of higher culture. The list includes: Ferdinand P. Patterson born 1700, poet, graduate University Cambridge. Anthony William Amo, doctor philosophy, University Wittenberg. 1720. Richard Allen, founder first Negro church in America. Crispus Attucks, patrol and soldier, 1773. Boston. Eustace, philanthropist, winner Mathynn prize of virtue, Santo Dom Nilo. Benjamin Bannaker, astronomer, born 1732, Baltimore. Toussaint L'Overture, soldier and statesman, born 1748. Alexander Dumas, novelist. Alexander Dumas, butikin, poet, Russia's "black Bryon." Frederick Douglass, orator, diplomat and statesman. Brindis de Sala, violinist, decorated by crowned heads of Europe (Cuban). Sir Conrad Reeves, chief justice of michaels, Knights of St. Michael's and St. George, Barbados, British West Indies. Alexander Petion, civil engineer, Paul L. Dunbar, lyric poet. John B. Russwurm, editor first New York Times, New York. Martin R. Delany, explorer, journalist and physician. Nathaniel Turner, Negro prophet. CIVIL RIGHTS COMMITTEE Western Publishers Plan Active Legal Campaign For Better Conditions. Campaign for Better Negro Muskogee, Okla.-The Western Negro Press association outlined a very commendable course of action at its recent meeting in Topeka, Kan., which if strictly followed will result in a closer union between its members as well as be of benefit to the race throughout the country. Among the special committees appointed was the civil rights committee, whose duty it shall be to confer with the president, senators, governors and congressmen with a view of having the law enforced against lynching, disfranchisement, discrimination in public places and on common carriers, such as railroads, street cars and other public conveyances. "Wherever there are jimcrow laws separating the races on railroads and in public places," says President A. J. Smitherman. "the colored people are invariably accorded inferior accommodation. In many instances they are forced to ride for hundreds of miles in insanitary apartments not much better than cattle cars. If we must have separate cars the railroad companies should be compelled to give the colored people accommodation equal in comfort in every way to that given other people. "Think of a colored man or woman riding twenty-four or forty-eight hours in a straight back seat in an apartment where both men and women use the same accommodations and often without a smoking compartment for men and for this accommodation forced to pay the same fare as the white man or woman who are given all the comforts of chairs and on Pullman cars. "A colored man or woman gets just as tired and 'worn out' when traveling as a white man or woman and would appreciate the comforts of a reclining chair and the berth of a Pullman car to the same extent as any other person. The colored people are entitled to a part of the chair cars and a part of the Pullman cars in every state where the jimcrow law is in force, and it is my opinion that they will eventually get it, because the best class of white people in the country, people who are not afraid to espouse the cause of human rights, will assist us in the fight. There are enough good people in America to see that right dominates over wrong." Wage Earners' Bank Elects Teller. The progress which the Wage Earners' bank is making in Savannah, Ga., is one of the many encouraging signs of the renewed confidence which the race has taken unto itself and in those of its number who prove their ability to safely and intelligently conduct large financial concerns. The business of the bank has increased so rapidly recently that it became necessary for the directors to elect a paying teller. The new official is R. A. Harper, who is known to be well qualified for the position. Universal Estimation of America. The wholesale lynching of colored people in the United States for and without cause has placed the American people in a degrading position in the estimation of the nations of the world. The unlawful withholding of the ballot from colored Americans in many parts of the country has led to the same denial of the right of suffrage to thousands of white Americans. The old adage "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is forcefully illustrated in this instance. Claims of Able Scholar to Be Placed Before A. M. E. Conference. Nashville, Tenn. - In the discussion of candidates for the various offices to be filled at the coming session of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church next May southerners are beginning to wonder what about many of their men. Ira T. Bryant at the last conference opened the way for a more pronounced recognition of the merits of the laymen for those positions not calling for particular qualifications appertaining to the clergy. Not only has Ira T. Bryant opened the way for the laymen, but he has set the pace for clean, clear cut efficiency such as has not been set by any of his predecessors nor beaten by any of the older officials, whatever their capacity or merit. Mr. Bryant's claims for consideration, which will without the shadow of a doubt be met at the general conference in a favorable manner, make consideration for other well known and efficient laymen more favorable. A fellow townsman, a specialist of national fame and a man who has PETER H. HARRIS G. V. ROMAN, PH. D. made, in the work of editing, a monthly magazine that ranks in its matter with any other of its kind, comes before the church asking to be placed as editor of the A. M. E. Church Review. This layman is Dr. C. V. Roman, eye, ear and nose specialist of Nashville and editor of the Journal of the National Medical association. At the recent ecumenical conference in Toronto Dr. Roman delivered an address that was pronounced by the Daily Guardian, the official organ of the conference, to have been "the most brilliant five minute address of the entire session and a notable contribution to Methodist theology." Dr. Roman is versatile, a good speaker and known as level headed, such as a man ought to be who edits the official organ of a great church like the A. M. E. Church Review. H. T. Kealing, who for a long time served as editor of the Review and now serves in the same capacity without pay, has set a high standard for any man who follows him. Of the various candidates Dr. Roman is not only able from the viewpoint of keeping up the high character of its literary merit, but is so situated that he can strike a happy medium for the vast constituency which the Review serves. His candidacy is a worthy one and one that is likely to be regarded very seriously by the men who want to maintain the high standard of the publication. LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDED. To Prevent Acts Which Breed Strife and Stifle Good Citizenship. If the government can drive out dynamiters it can also put lynchers of human beings to flight. Mob violence has become a national disgrace and a pastime for the idle and vicious. It breeds race strife and stifles the highest aspirations of the law abiding portion of our citizenship. A natural born citizen or naturalized citizen of a country who does not respect its laws, customs and institutions ought either to leave that country or be driven out by the authorities. Lynch law and race discrimination in the United States are nothing less than human incubators for breeding crime, and it is the duty of this government to put a stop to them. America would in truth be the land of the free and the home of the brave if its laws were strictly and justly enforced. This can be done, but it will not be done until the people rise up in righteous indignation and demand of those in authority either to enforce the law or take the alternative of being put out of office. The president of the United States, as well as all the national, state and municipal authorities, swears to support the constitution before entering upon the duties of his office. Such a vow upon the part of the chief magistrate of the nation and other high officers once inspired confidence in them on the part of the people, but not so now, for such has become a mere formality, a mockery and a plaything. Young Women's Christian Association. The work of the Young Women's Christian association in St. Louis is progressing rapidly under the leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes and her efficient band of coworkers. The young women of the city seem to be thoroughly aroused and are joining hands with Mrs. Haynes in an effort to build up a large membership. Extracts from the Address of Hon. W. T. Francis, Before the Minneapolis Forum, Dec. 17th, at Bethesda Baptist Church. In the magnificent capital building of the State of Minnesota, as one enters the Senate Chamber, he sees in letters of gold which extend around the great room, those pregnant words of Daniel Webster:— "Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered." To have the sense of obligation resting upon us, to understand its nature, to have the glorious consciousness of the weight of responsibility upon our shoulders, in the endeavor to achieve things that are really worth while,—this is what transforms life and enobles it and makes living worth while. If the Negro expects to accomplish anything in the development of real and natural forces, it can only be done in so far as he has the ability to organize,—to use his mental, physical and moral strength in organization—and his ability to build up the organization by a united effort. No man lives and succeeds by himself alone. Back of every successful individual stands the organization. Behind Washington stood the ragged regimentals. Behind Grant stood the Northern soldiers. Without "the man behind the gun" the triumph of Dewey at Manila may never have been recorded. Without the 9th Cavalry the charge on San Juan Hill would have proved an inglorious failure. Without the men of means who stand behind Booker Washington, Tuskegee would be impossible. What is true of the individual is true of the organization, but the power of the organization is far more reaching, its influence wider, its purposes more extensive, in that it contains a collection of minds, hands and hearts, standing together for one purpose. But there must be a oneness of purpose in organization. That timely admonition of Webster which stands forth emblazened before the eyes of all who enter our magnificent Capital Building is pregnant, especially so, with value to the Negro man and Negro woman. Let us build up our institutions. Let us seek to do those things which will add to the life of them, and not the things which tend to destroy. We are all either builders or destroyers. There is no middle ground. Each of us belong to either the one class or the other. No matter what your social position, no matter how wealthy or how poor you may be, no matter what your occupation, you belong to one of these two great armies. By the force of your example, by your attitude on moral questions, by your honesty or dishonesty in business or in personal or political relations, by the interest you take in your organizations to make them stand for something, by your interest in your home and in everything with which you come in contact you are helping to build up this race, or you are allied with the forces that are ever busy, busy, busy trying to tear it down. Everything in nature has two elements at war within it—the elements of growth and health, and the elements of disease. Every social organization that man has devised has in it, constantly working, consciously or unconsciously, the forces that work together in unity and make for strength and growth, and the forces that tear down and destroy. The spirit of unanimity should govern the race in its dealings one with another. Whenever a Negro starts an enterprise of any kind, the Negro as a mass should be there to spur him on, to help him in his struggle for a livelihood, but we don't. We sometimes employ white physicians, white lawyers, white undertakers, white butchers and bakers and candle-stick makers, subscribe for and pay for white news papers, and stand by and see our own men and institutions fall one by one, day by day, for the want of our support and encouragement. Let me urge the members of this Forum, as Negroes, to so organize your forces that you may give to our institutions the best service of which you are capable. And in conclusion let me repeat those golden words of Daniel Webster, substituting the word "Race" for the word "land," for it seems to me no greater hope or ambition can be desired. "Let us develop the resources of our Race, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered."

Adams Express Co's employees refuse to check Great Northern Freight from a Negro Way Bill Clerk. Negroes to demand rights by withdrawal of patronage. Mr. Fred L. Parker of St. Paul, a student of the Univ. of Minn., was employed by the Great Northern Ry. as extra way bill freight clerk and was dismissed by said company because the employees of the Adams Epress Co. refused to "check freight" from a Negro. Mr. Owen of the Express Co., was consulted by the officials of the G. N. Ry. and it is said that he remarked "that he was a Southerner, and did not approve of Negroes being employed in such positions, and that he approved of the actions of his subordinates. Mr. J. G. Johnston, General Agent of the Great Northern Ry. has interested himself in this case, not solely because their freight was held up by "Checker Tom" and other employees, but because he believes that the Express Co. should be fair to all men, regardless of color, and he has expressed his surprise that Mr. Owen would go on record as having made such statements. We are glad that such men as Mr. Johnston live today, and are willing to protect such meritorious young men, whenever they are employed. Mr. Owen was interviewed on Thursday by the Editor of the Twin City Star, and he denied having in anyway approved of any discrimination. While we give some credence to his statement, we will further investigate. There is a mass meeting to be held at one of our churches to interest the public along this line, and if Mr. Owen has said and done what he is accused of doing, it will mean the concentrated effort of many Negroes to withhold their patronage from the Adams Express Co., and that means much. Why is it that our organizations can pay for their printing etc., (which is done by their white friends,) and there is no one in authority to spend a dime among the Negroes. Patronage of your race's enterprises is your best ad. ADVERTISE—IT HELPS. A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicler of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twin City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it? Begin New Year with a subscription to a Negro paper. If you do not subscribe to a local paper, send for your home paper. But pay for it. Race papers are a necessity, and must be supported by individuals. Every Negro should in some way contribute something towards the advancement of the Negro Press. WANT THE WEST TO JOIN WITH SOUTH. Colored Republicans Against Reduction Scheme. The fact that an effort will be made at the meeting of the Republican National Committee to reduce the representation of delegates from the Southern States has aroused the opposition of Southern colored Republicans. In an interview yesterday, E. A. Clarke, chairman of the Republican interstate league, recalled the fact that it was the Western votes which in the last Republican national convention prevented the passage of the resolution to reduce Southern representation. "The South and West," he said, "must combine against the East, which is solid for the reduction scheme. The only salvation for the growing, enterprising, and progressive West is for it to adhere to the South, so that it will be possible for the West, with the aid of the South, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President without combining with the Eastern States, that are the political, commercial, and industrial rivals of the West." Mr. Clarke has prepared a statement that the total vote in the next national convention will be 1,064, including New Mexico, of 1,072 if Arizona and New Mexico bith are admitted. He shows that if the Western States again throw their support to the present system of electing delegates by Congressional districts it will prevail. He says that the reason the Republican party is so meagerly represented in the South is because the colored man is disfranchised. "The Republican party," he says, "will regret that when it was in absolute control of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the government it did not pass a Federal election law. Had that been done, the South would have long ago justified her representation in Republican conventions on the basis of the States other than the South by electing Republicans to Congress, instead of Democrats, who hold their seats by the operation of unconstitutional election laws, with the acquisition of the very States that are now seeking to throw the Southern delegates out of the conventions of the future. It is as just and equitable for the Southern States to have their representation in Republican national conventions, based upon the number of Representatives and Senators, as it is for the States of lesser population to have an equal representation in the United States Senate with the States of greater population."

There is an effort on foot to stop them, and Judge Finehout has a straight workhouse sentence awaiting them. These young "snobs" are a nuisance, and they take advantage of every opportunity to appear obnoxious. Lack of home training is the cause of it, and the heads of their respective families are responsible. The Twin City Star has the exclusive use in this city of the Afro-American news service of the American Press Assn., edited by Mr. N. B. Dodson of N. Y., which is a feature of our publication, much appreciated by our readers.
