Something can be done by good laws, more can be done by honest administration of the laws, but most of all can be done by frowning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life alike, in order permanently to succeed, we must base our conduct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule. Quack remedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politic as to the body corporal. We must do our duty by the state. We must frown down dishonesty and corruption and war for honesty and righteousness.—Theodore Roosevelt. We received many congratulations on our last issue, for which we return thanks.

A NOTABLE ENGAGEMENT. A GRAND PROGRAM. Keenest interest is being taken in the forthcoming entertainment now in preparation under the supervision of Mrs. Nellie McCullough, assisted by Mr. Ralph Watson, and a company of the brightest young local talent. Interest in the entertainment is augmented by the fact that the entire sum realized will be turned over to the trustees of the Attucks Home for Old People and Orphaned Children. This splendid institution, whose work in behalf of our dependent poor has been so successful, has gained the esteem and confidence of our citizens generally. Mrs. McCullough's entertainment is the last and most ambitious effort on the part of the charitably disposed to express in concrete form a sense of the worth of the home and to assist it in the most needed manner. The entertainment will consist of a Minstrel Show and Promenade to be given at the Auditorium on the evening of Jan. 31st. It will be unique and high class in every respect, and an evening of unusual pleasure is promised all who attend. A number of our citizens who have been interviewed upon the McCullough entertainment express themselves as follows: "Though a newcomer to your city, I have already learned of the merit of the Attucks Home. Mrs. McCullough's entertainment should have a glowing success."—B. M. McDew, Real Estate and Loans. "The name of Mrs. Nellie McCullough in connection with an entertainment stands for success and high class effort. I heartily indorse the object of this proposed entertainment."—Wm. C. Jeffrey. "My ministry has brought me into intimate contact with the misery so often the portion of the orphaned young and the destitute old. The Old Folks Home, therefore, is justly deserving and I believe the unselfish effort being made by Mrs. McCullough merits the hearty commendation I give it."—Rev. R. M. Toombs. "Speaking for the young men of our city; the men who so often are caring for the old people left in distant home, let me say that the Attucks Home touches a responsive chord in their hearts. It is only necessary to let them know of a way to help. I feel sure that on the night of Mrs. McCullough's entertainment, every man among the railway and hotel employees who can possibly get away will be found at the Auditorium."—Glover Shull. Tickets for the entertainment are now on sale and may be secured from Mrs. McCullough, any member of the company and from any of the Business Places. Tickets are Fifty ($.50) Cents for the entire entertainment. McCullough's full Orchestra will furnish the music for the promenade. BIG MASQUERADE BALL JUDGE JOHNSON, MGR. AT SOUTH SIDE AUDITORIUM 12th Ave. and 3rd Street TUESDAY FEB. 6TH, 1911. ADMISSION 35c. so. The infant in its cradle today is typical of the child-man and shows unmistakable fear upon the intrusion of strange faces into the nursery and in its feeble way attempts to avoid them. Property, welfare and life itself have been conserved simply by the "offish" instinct. It has also bad temporarily a wonderful use, pertaining to certain values acquired in the condition of racial integrity, which we will consider presently. Therefore we do not think of shyness in general as being a bad or mean quality. However, it is an involuntary acknowledgment that intelligence is lacking requisite to right conduct of life. It bars the reciprocal relations necessary to growth of civilization. So primitive shyness or avoidance cannot always remain commendable. With general development it either takes an advanced form—as, for instance, just circumspection—or, with changing relations, it readily becomes pernicious. The biologist knows that when normal conditions are exaggerated or strained they must become abnormal. In a similar way a racial distrust, once temporarily useful, drifts into unwarranted obstruction or ruinous antipathy. The egoistic tendency, encouraged by slickly intelligence, invites prejudice to come in and expel reciprocal justice. While this may be due to mistake on the part of some, it really is a phase of selfishness. There is, of course, monstrous selfishness not identified with prejudice and not involved with racial relations. It distresses humanity today in the forms of official betrayal of trust, child labor schemes and monopolistic greed. Like race maladjustment, such manifestations begin in unreasonable extension of natural impulse and result in degradation. This particular perversion, we believe, as are those, is now in the climax of its uglishness. Such phenomena constitute the moral interregnum which now shamefully and fatally afflicts this country. True civilization seeks the balance between egoism and altruism. In view of certain facts, some of which we briefly indicate, and of significant typal manifestations universally evident, "intellectual confusion" is no longer pardonable. The popular movement for education is on a surer footing than ever before, doubtless because of increasing interest in the philosophy of evolution. In its light, racial phenomena must be observed. As for general safety—walving the idea of non-natural assistance and that of human reason—there is remedial action in Nature herself. An instance of this truth is the spontaneous movement of racial convergence, which proceeds as surely and about as quietly and safely as does the working of the law of gravitation. The result is publicly commented upon by some who do not understand it. A magazine writer has noted the increasing number of people of mixed type, declaring that it is not much matter if scholarship can offer no explanation of this, as it will presently explain itself. Long ago the writer entered this field, and in 1808 a monograph appeared. "Nyetta Segal" (Dillingham). At least a few called it radical and adequate as a pioneer sketch. These claimed for it priority as to identification of the phenomenon with evolutionary laws, for there was dearth of the pertinent in textbook and cyclopedia. SHREWD BUSINESS MAN. Success of J. Jamison, the Los Angeles Iron Merchant. One of the most gratifying signs of the progress which the race is making is seen in the thrift and industry of many ambitious individuals who in the far west are engaged in lines of business other than the ordinary. The manufacture of cotton fabrics, soap, statuary and the like has been undertaken. Quite out of the ordinary indeed we find Mr. J. Jamison of Los Angeles, Cal., engaged in the iron business with marked success. He has a large yard on Santa Fe avenue, in Los Angeles, with improved facilities for handling the commodity and employs a large number of persons in his establishment. By buying several tons of iron at a time he is able to secure more reasonable terms. This has been one of the features of his success in the business which he has given careful study. Mr. Jamison is well known among the large iron manufacturers of the state, who recognize in him those necessary elements which characterize the successful man of affairs. Mr. Jamison started his business in a small way. He proceeded cautiously, keeping a close watch on receipts and expenses. By this method he has kept on the safe side in a line of business not hitherto undertaken by our people. Splendid Work of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins Rev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage which bears his name in Charleston, S. C., is doing a splendid work of uplift among the people. He not only keeps the institution up to a high standard of efficiency in its work and care for the orphans, but takes a leading part in all good movements for the benefit of the race in the community. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins is also the successful pastor of the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist church. Banks Operated by Afro-Americans. Savings banks operated by Afro- Americans by states are distributed as follows: Four in Tennessee, seven in Alabama, four in Georgia, eleven in Mississippi, ten in Virginia; Texas and North Carolina, six each; Florida, South Carolina and Maryland, one each; Oklahoma, two; Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, one each, and two in Illinois. HUMAN NATURE GIVES ANSWER Phenomena Incident to Racial Relations Cover the World. MANY THEORIES ADVANCED. Practical and Philosophic Analysis of the Vexed Question of Racial Maladjustment by Horace J. Rollins, Who Believes In According to Every Man Fair Treatment. Troy. O.- From the inception of the abolition movement through the great civil war, up from slavery, on through the reconstruction period, the colored race in America has had severe struggles and mighty difficulties to hinder its progress, yet there is encouragement in the fact that history records the rise of no race or individual achievements which have come without strong effort, ambition and persistence in the face of oppression. We give below the first of two articles from the pen of a white man who has been a firm friend of the colored people for more than half a century. Horace J. Rollins of Troy, O., is one of the old guard, who knows the ordeal through which our people have passed, their present environment and the attitude of those who would hinder rather than help the cause of justice and equal rights for all American citizens. Of nature's answer to man's race question Mr. Rollins writes the following: The whole world continues to be disturbed by certain phenomena incident to racial relations. Countless people—many of them classed as philosophers—speak and write of the "problem;" there is no end of utterances that are misleading and harmful, yet now and then an observer notes facts that are impressive, and good suggestions are sometimes offered. However, almost invariably these are fragmentary and as discon- [Name] HORACE J. HOLLINS. meeted as stray segments of a circle. They fail to indicate a symmetrical system. Recently a professor of the London university declared that, as the Caucasian cannot thrive in the hot countries and as the natives of them do flourish in the north, the white type, being less prolific, will be pushed to disappearance. This is interesting and if it were true would be quite startling. Nature (walving her arrogant egotism and destructive selfishness) appreciates the white man and will use him rightly. The gloomy groping has various aspects, an instance of which shows wonderful contrast to the above, especially as to complexion. It is the promulgation that pictures the advent of a big, strong, unscrupulous blond, who, as a superman (or a superhog, for apparently there is small difference), is to destroy all other citizens, the good, the true, the beautiful, not caring even for the lovable and useful brunette, whose milk is said to be exceptionally rich. His prognosticated portrait is not pleasant, and we will not have him. Some time ago a writer of international fame in earnestly denouncing race prejudice declared of it, without offering radical explanation, "It is a monster begotten of natural instincts and intellectual confusion." In the varied forms of it there certainly is such confusion. It is obvious in the presence of the strange and multiform manifestations and persecutions, even destroying life as an imagined duty, which mark the new century, in Europe and the United States, districts where education, legal questions and Christianity are much discussed and where the inference would naturally be that justice and kindness are what each one owes to all others. Such obscurity must be cleared and also the foggy conclusion that this prejudice is from "providence." But in order to classify this intellectual confusion truth so that it becomes available we must consider the disquieting fact that the monster is "begotten of natural instincts." Let us see how it came about that a force so ugly sprang from a normal impulse. Primitive man, like other promising animals, developed a necessary caution as to contact with people queerly and mysteriously unlike himself. This was protective, and rightfully TWIN CITY STAR SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson IV.—First Quarter, For Jan. 28, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Luke ii, 25-38. Memory Verses, 29, 30—Golden Text, Luke ii, 30, 31, R. V—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stears. Being made under the law to redeem them that were under the law. He was duly circumscribed according to the law and called as commanded by Gabriel when he appeared to Mary with the great announcement (Gat. iv. 4, 5; Luke 1, 31). He came to fulfill the law, to fulfill all righteousness, that He might become our righteousness (Matt. ill. 15; v. 17; 11 Cor. v. 21). Note the extreme poverty of Mary, as indicated by the offering she brought. Though her hand found not sufficiency of a lamb (Lev. xil. 8, margin), yet God used her to provide His Lamb, without blemish and without spot, to fulfill all types and to provide eternal redemption by His great sacrifice of Himself (1 Pet. l. 19, 20; Heb. 1x. 12, 14). The great purpose of God is so far beyond our comprehension. His ways and thoughts so much higher than ours, that even though we know the facts, or some of them, the reach of them, from eternity to eternity, is too high for us (Ps. xc. 2). What an unspeakable honor to belong to Him, to be part of Him and a joint heif with Him of His kingdom and glory. Some of the things written of Simeon are true of every redeemed one, for all true believers are just or righteous and have the Holy Spirit. All should be devout. Spirit taught and guided and waiting for the coming of the Lord. The words "just, devout, waiting," describe the threefold salvation of every believer as set forth in I Thess. 1, 9, 10; Tit. 11, 13, and elsewhere. By the precious blood of Christ we are now saved, and by His Spirit we should ever live devoutly and love His appearing. His title, "the consolation of Israel" (verse 25), reminds us of Isa. lxv1, 13; Zeph. lil, 14, 15; Zech. il, 10-12, and we think also of another title, "the hope of Israel" (Jer. xiv. 8; xvii. 13; Acts. xxviii. 20), but this carries us beyond our threefold salvation to the next step in God's plan, our return with Christ in His glory for the redemption of Israel and the establishment of His kingdom. In verses 25-27 of our lesson we see the Spirit upon Simeon, the Spirit teaching him and guiding him to the temple at the right time to find the child it is our privilege to be thus Spirit taught and led. May we know the reality. This aged saint, holding the child in his arms, looking fondly and reverently upon Him, while Joseph and Mary stood listening to his wonderful words and marveling at them, is indeed a beautiful picture. Listen to him as he desires now to depart, having seen with his own eyes and actually embraced the Lord's anointed. To him this child was the fulfilment of prophecy, but with prophetic vision he saw a time of trouble before the coming of the kingdom. Think upon his words as he held the child, "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation." Jacob said, "I have waited for Thy salvation, O Lord" (Gen. xlix, 18). Moses and David and Isaiah sang, "The Lord is become my salvation" (Ex. xv, 2; Ps. xviii, 14; Isa. xil, 2). Every true believer can say the same and rejoice in the words of this same child when grown to manhood. "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." "Thy salvation which thou hast prepared" (verses 30, 31). It is of the Lord, wholly and only; He who said, "I am the Lord, that makeeth all things, that stretcheth forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself." He is the author and filier of it (Isa. xilv, 2; Heb. xil, 2). It will in due time fill the earth, for all flesh shall see the salvation of God (chapter ill, 6). Compare Isa. xl, 5; xlix, 6; ill, 10. He is in this present age a light to lighten the gentiles, that stretcheth forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself. He is the author and filier of it (Isa. xilv, 1-3). There is neither light nor glory apart from Him. All else is darkness, under the ruler of the darkness of this world (Eph. v, 8; vl, 12). But if the light has shone in our hearts it is in order that we may turn others from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God (John iv, 22), whether individual or national. How perplexing the words, except in the light of prophecy, concerning the fall and rising again of many and the sign to be spoken against, but when we remember His death and resurrection as predicted in Ps. xxl, Isa. ill and many of the types and His coming in glory to set up His kingdom all is more clear. That which Mary had to bear from misunderstandings by others who would not believe the supernatural about the birth of this child and the agony of her soul at Golgotha helps us to understand the sword through her own soul (verses 34, 35). The great question, "What think ye of Christ?" is still the text which reveals the thoughts of all hearts. The aged widow, Anna, was evidently led by the Spirit to enter the temple at the right instant to hear these words. ```markdown ``` 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.

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.

W. A. Fountain at Well Known School Are Refutations of the Theory Held by His Numerous Critics. Atlanta, Ga.—The remarkable success of Morris Brown college during the first year of the presidency of Rev. W. A. Fountain, D. D., seems to emphasize as rather absurd and silly the little resentment manifested by some of the higher class students at the beginning of the year. As a matter of fact, that episode seems now in the light of calmer reason to have been as false in its contentions as it was silly and absurd in its foundation. It will be remembered that some of the higher class students in a letter to the board of trustees pointed out that Dr. Fountain, while a good man, a minister in the African Methodist church of first rank, and while he held a hard earned reputation for honesty, sobriety and learning, he had never graduated from a college and was therefore not fit for the presidency of Morris Brown college. As a matter of fact, all this contention was basically wrong and, as the strenuous one would have said, "absolutely false." Dr. Fountain is a graduate of Allen university. He is also a graduate from the collegiate department of Morris Brown college, class of 1901, and from the theological department, 1902. Thus it would seem that the satisfaction would have been keener in the honor which had come to one of the institution's own sons. In addi- A. B. PRESIDENT W. A. FOUNTAIN. tion to this preparation, Dr. Fountain also holds two diplomas from the Central Indiana university. Dr. Fountain is a mild mannered, conservative Christian gentleman. His former success in the pastorate throughout the state of Georgia and the host of friends he has throughout the connection assure him of a following loyal, sincere and capable, and there is no doubt but that much of the present progress shown at the college this year is due to his personality and his remarkable popularity. To be sure it would be a poor sort of man at any rate whose whole life work could be wrecked by one little show of opposition. It is doubtful that the student episode has had one thing to do either way with the present fortunes of the school. An institution that has done as much good in the southland as Morris Brown college has done will not be wrecked in a moment. Its memories will live, its precepts will live, and no man is surer to carry them out to successful conclusions than a man who was brought up within its walls and breathes day in and day out for several years its kindly and beneficent spirit. Dr. Fountain has retained practically the same faculty and a high grade of work is attempted in each of the departments—namely, theology, science, preparatory, collegiate, academic, English, music, industrial and nurse training. The Georgia conferences in the first session since Dr. Fountain's presidency have expressed satisfaction over the work, and the entire board of trustees seems to be with the management. There is no reason why Morris Brown college will not now take the place in educational circles to which it is entitled, and all indications point to that end now that bickering and strife are over. A visit through all the departments of the institution and in all the classrooms will show absolute contentment on the faces of the more than 800 students, while in every respect the teachers show considerable devotion to the work they have in hand. PUBLISHERS' OPPORTUNITY Advertising Agencies Lean Toward Papers Edited by Afro-Americans. "Within the past two weeks, since Jan. 1," says Albon Lewis Holsey, "the proprietors of two well known advertising agencies have consulted me with regard to advertising propositions for papers published by and in the interest of Afro-Americans. In each case reliable information was sought as how best to reach the largest number of papers at once. "I named to such inquirers a long list of papers published by our people, gave their location and quoted their approximate circulation. This seems to me to be a fine opening for a number of publications to greatly increase the number of advertisements from that which they are now carrying. "Why not combine their efforts to secure advertisements? Such organizations as the National Negro Press association should inaugure a large advertising campaign to let the general advertising public know the value of their papers as advertising mediums. At the last session of the Negro Press association I had planned to offer this suggestion, but the time was squandered in electing officers and arguments over trivial matters. "I spoke to President Lewey about this matter, and he expressed himself as being much in sympathy with such a movement. It is my hope that this matter will be taken up at the next meeting, for advertising is certainly one of the vital factors in journalistic activity." BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING. Results of Its Constant Use Shown by Baltimore Druggists. Baltimore.—The value of continual advertising in race papers is exemplified in the remarkable success that Stokes & Derry, druggists, of this city have had within the past three years. Starting out in 1908, they have built up a business that exceeds that done by any of the four other colored drug stores of the city. When asked recently what he thought had contributed to the success of his business venture Dr. E. Verry Stokes, senior member of the firm, said: "I attribute much of the success that we have had in the drug business to the fact that we have always let the public of Baltimore know through the local race papers what we have to sell. I am firmly of the opinion that colored men in business can add considerably to the volume of trade done by advertising their wares in race papers. "White men who are successful along business lines continually let the people know what they have to sell by advertising. Another factor in business success is letting the public have the right goods at the right prices, and if you have not an article that a customer wants make a strenuous effort to get it. Up to date methods, modern equipment, polite and quick service, also help immensely." Dr. Stokes is a native of Baltimore. While studying in the Baltimore colored high school he worked in one of the drug stores of the city. He then entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, where he was graduated in 1908. While in Philadelphia he filled the position of pharmacist at the Frederick Douglass Memorial hospital and nurse training school. He returned to Baltimore and passed a very creditable examination as pharmacist. Dr. Derry is a native of Baltimore also. He was educated in the Baltimore public schools, Lincoln university and Oberlin college. afterward studying pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He worked for a number of years in local drug stores before embarking into business on his own account. Knights of Pythias' Annual Carnival. The annual mask ball and Pythian carnival of Ben-Hur lodge No. 19. Knights of Pythias, recently held in Brooklyn, was largely attended and was also a social and financial success. The officers of the lodge are Edward Henry, John Curtis, Thomas T. Scott, Charles E. Porter, Robert Lee, Cornellus Lovett, Robert Baynard, William H. McFarland, Gaston Smith and Anthony Fenty. The past chancellor commanders are Robert Baynard, Major E. B. Ceruti, Walter Kelly, William H. McFarland, Frank Downing and J. H. Williams. Colored Soldiers In Turkish Army. It is hardly worth while to express surprise at finding colored soldiers in the ranks of the Turkish army, for wherever men strive in a common cause at home or abroad either for racial or national honor the colored man shoulders his share of the responsibility. The two killed in a recent skirmish between Turkish and Italian soldiers at Tripoli are said to have been the aggressors. Dr. B. T. Washington to Tour Florida. The managers of the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington which is to be made through Florida have announced that the start will be made at Pensaeola on Friday. March 1. The pilgrimage will end in Jacksonville Thursday night. March 7. A number of successful business men and educators will accompany Dr. Washington on the trip through the state. TWIN CITY STAR NOTED QUARTET OF PUGILISTS THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION Champion Jack Johnson Is Matched to Meet Jim Flynn, His Most Formidable Opponent, In July—Events In Which Langford, Jeannetta and Sam McVey Have Taken Part. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—It is a fact worthy of note that in most walks of life in which individual achievements stand out boldly and above the ordinary the Afro-American is to be found among the foremost. Some have won fame in literature, some as educators and others are noted for special skill in the various professions. For the opportunity afforded to engage in business along many lines a large majority are successful. But the specific purpose of this comment is to call attention to a quartet of men whose physical prowess has placed them in the lead of all others in their profession without regard to A. B. Photo by American Press Association. CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON. race or creed. They are Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette and Sam McVey. These four men are the leading characters in the heavyweight division of pugilism. In the common commercial parlance we would say they have cornered the market. Jack Johnson, the acknowledged heavyweight champion pugilist of the world, is the center of attraction at the present time in view of the fact that he is matched to fight Jim Flynn some time in July. Flynn is said to be the champion's most formidable white opponent who has the nerve to sign articles of agreement to face Johnson in the ring. Jack Johnson was the first of his class among the colored fighters to appear upon the scene after the passing of Peter Jackson. His career as a prized fighter began in Chicago in 1890. He has had a most interesting career. His physical strength, coupled with his knowledge, experience and skill, makes all aspirants for the heavyweight championship title stand in fear of him. He is yet young, ambitious, artful and fearless. If he continues to use good common sense he will long be the world's champion, the pride of his race in this particular and the idol of sporting men the world over. Of the other three it may be said in brief that Langford received his first lessons in boxing from Jim Walsh in 1901 and has been in the fighting arena ever since. McVey appeared upon the scene two years later, and in 1904 Joe Jeannette offered himself as a fit subject to receive punishment from fisticencounters. Johnson, Langford and Jeannette, the notable big trio, have fought each other many times. Sam McVey for some reason has resided in Paris and other parts of Europe most of the time. A summary of events in which the four men have taken part reduced to a common denominator would read thus: Jeannette and Johnson have battled seven times. Joe won once on a foul and Jack won one decision. One other fight was a draw, and no decisions were rendered in the other five. Johnson has boxed McVey twice. He beat him on both occasions. Jeannette met McVey four times. The first battle went ten rounds to "no decision." Jeannette won the decision in the next one over a twenty round course. The third contest lasted fifty-one rounds. McVey being knocked out. Shortly after they fought thirty rounds. The decision was a draw. Langford and Jeannette have met about eight times, with varying results Generally Langford won, but Jeannette had an edge the last time they clashed, which was in September, in New York Langford and McVey have come together twice. Last April they fought a twenty round draw in Paris. Recently McVey got a decision over Boston Sam in twenty rounds at Sydney. Fred Douglass Must Not Be Forgetten. In our haste to heap encomiums upon those abolitionists, statesmen and warriors who fought valiantly for the freedom of the race let us not forget that our own Fred Douglass was one of them. WORLD'S FAIR IN THE WOODS. Jenkins Orphange to Hold Lengthy Series of Entertainments. Charleston, S. C.-The world's fair in the woods is the title of a series of literary and musical entertainments which will be given under the auspices of the Jenkins orphange in this city, beginning on Monday, Feb. 5, to run three weeks. For twenty-one years similar entertainments have been successfully held for the benefit of orphan children-cared for by the institution. The mayof the city and other prominent citizens have consented to make addresses at different times during the series, and the outlook for a profitable ingathering of funds is encouraging. The churches and other organized bodies for religious and material uplift will take an active part in helping the asylum to raise the sum of $1,000, which amount is much needed to enable the management to care for the large number of orphan children housed by the institution this winter. Rev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage, has asked for 500 volunteers to assist in the work, besides a special committee which has charge of the arrangements. Through the uniting zeal of the Rev. Mr. Jenkins many friends from among both races have become much interested in the orphange and contribute annually to its support. These friends are not confined to Charleston alone, but are scattered in different sections, north, east and west. Any one desiring to help a worthy cause could find no better channel through which to contribute for the making of an intelligent citizenship than the Jenkins orphange. The city council and the charities commissioners are interested in the institution to the extent of not only placing the funds which the city provides for its support, but take an active part on the official board of managers. The report of the orphange for 1911 has been compiled and forwarded to the commissioners, who will in turn submit the same to the city council. An accurate account of all funds donated is kept on record and published annually. The children are taught the various industries or trades, such as sewing, embroidery, domestic science, basketery, shoemaking, chair caning and kindred subjects. Many former inmates of the asylum who have grown to manhood and womanhood are now engaged in gainful occupations. Elementary subjects are also taught. Vocal and instrumental music are among the most interesting of the educational features. CODE OF ETHICS BY CRISIS. Influential Publication Issues Broad and Manly Declaration of Principles. In the January number of the Crisis Magazine the following editorial for the new year occurs under the caption "I Am Resolved." It reads thus: I am resolved in this new year to play the man—to stand straight, look the world squarely in the eye and walk to my work with no shuffle or slouch. I am resolved to be satisfied with no trouble when I ignore my manhood and my right to be counted as one among men. I am resolved to be quiet and law abiding, but to refuse to cringe in body or in soul, to resent deliberate insult and to assert my just rights in the face of wanton aggression. I am resolved to defend and assert the absolute quality of the Negro race with any and all other human races and its divine right to equal and just treatment. I am resolved to be ready at all times and in all places to bear witness with pen, voice, money and deed against the horrible crime of lynching, the shame of jimmy the black man, the all color discrimination, the wrong of disfranchise for race or sex, the iniquity of war under any circumstances and the deep dammation of present methods of distributing the world's work and wealth. I am resolved to defend the poor and the weak of every race and hue and caper of all men and all women my wife, my daughter and all my darker sisters from the insults and aggressions of white men and black with the last strength of my body and the last suffering of my soul. For all these things I am resolved unfinchingly to stand, and if this resolve cannot be achieved, slander and even life itself I will remember the word of the prophet—how he sang: "Though Love repine and Reason chafe, There came a voice, without reply, "His man's perdition to be safe When for the truth he ought to die!" Messengership For James D. Gross. As a reward for diligence and because of his peculiar fitness for the position the Hon. Frank J. Harris, county treasurer in Pittsburgh, has appointed Mr. James D. Gross messenger in his office. Mr. Gross was for two years a turnkey at the central police station. He has also served seven years as a deputy constable in the Seventh and Eighth wards. He is a prominent member of royal grand lodge, No. 31. Knights of Pythias, and captain of Greater Pittsburgh company, No. 14, of the uniform rank of the order. Juvenile Buds of Promise Prospers. The Juvenile Buds of Promise, No. 8, Grand United Order of Sons and Daughters of Moses, in Brooklyn is one of the most thrifty organizations of little folk in Greater New York. It numbers over 100 boys and girls who are being trained for the work of the order by competent instructors. The reports of the officials at the recent annual meeting showed that after paying all expenses for the year a snug sum remains in the treasury. The Juvenile Buds were organized in 1902. Dr. D. H. Williams to Conduct Clinic. The annual clinic at Meharry Medical college. Nashville, Tenn. will be held the first week in February and will be conducted by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the noted surgeon of Chicago. A PLEA FOR THE AMATEUR. Ladies and gentlemen, I would a word with you. Amateur dramatic work in the Twin Cities has received a great deal of encouragement and even risen to some popularity, by your large patronage and growing interest. It has been my pleasure to direct or assist in directing the major portion of the dramas presented in Minneapolis and St. Paul within the last five seasons; for which reason I feel that no one should be more thankful to the public for their appreciation, than myself. It is brought to my attention that material of worth for Amateur dramatic try-out, is very difficult to secure. There are various reasons, two only of which I shall mention. First: In most cases the same caste presents only one play which means much hard work for only one performance, with little or no remuneration. There is some financial outlay in staging a play properly and oftimes the net proceeds are not satisfactory. Second: The success of an amateur's efforts depends upon this trial: Ambition, Opportunity, Encouragement. 1. Ambition is furnished by the student. 2. Opportunity is furnished by the management. 3. Encouragement is furnished by the audience. In some audiences where amateur efforts are presented there are persons not for encouragement sake. You may notice them making poor attempts at criticism and picking flaws simply because they are acquainted with members of the caste and the next night you may see them at our local theatre, where they see and hear work which sometimes is no better, yet they go home with the apparent feeling of having gotten their money's worth. Sometimes they talk loudly during the performance, thereby disturbing the vast majority who come for the pure purpose of encouraging us and being entertained and amused. These are our main difficulties in obtaining good material of which we have a wealth and neither you nor we want poor material. If convenient, all ambitious persons should register with some organization, cultivate this ability and help raise the amateur standard of our community. Finally I wish to thank the public for their generous attendance and corteous attention to the performances given by the Wither's Dramatic Company which will soon appear with a new caste of characters and new 4 act drama entitled "A Fight Against Fate."

Don't be afraid to speak ill of the dead. No man that has lived should be saved from deserved criticism by the commonplace fact of ceasing to be alive. "I should wish," said the Cardinal de Bernis, "that every regard of politeness be preserved for the living, but that it might be permitted to speak freely one's mind of the dead." Filled as our lives are with daily shams, there is no more absurd and abominable sham about us than the mask of sorrow that we wear to the funeral of a rogue. As a matter of fact, the dead, being safe from physical punishment, should be the more open to such reprobation as their acts may have courted. In a true sense, "the evil that men do lives after them." To condone the faults of the dead is to corrupt the morality of the living.—Reginald W. Kauffman, in The Cosmopolitan.

"And he will judge between the nations and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.'—Isaiah 2:1v. WHERE TO TRADE. The Honest merchant is a Successful merchant; the Successful merchant Knows the Advantage of Advertising what he has for sale. Stores and business places advertising in THE TWIN CITY STAR are the best places at which to spend your money and get your money's worth. We therefore recommend to the trading public those business places carrying an Ad. in THE TWIN CITY STAR. Rep. N. E. Kendall of Iowa, a Republican smashed a white ruffian who assaulted a Negro washerwoman an the streets of Washington, D.C. His act was worthy of special mention, and we are glad to commend him for his bravery, and the Negroes en-masse will always point with pride to him as a true American gentleman, "one of the remaining few." REMEMBER LINCOLN. Lincoln's Birthday, February 12th, should be observed with appropriate exercises. Let us cherish the memory of our emancipator and martyred President. ANOTHER FRIEND HAS DEPART ED. Another grand old character, one of the Old Guard, a Member of the Loyal Legion and Civil War Veteran is dead—Mr. David L. Kingsbury, Asst. Librarian of the Minnesota Historical Society. Peace to his ashes. There was no appearance of rivalry or jealousy at St. James Church Concert last week. Each of our songbirds appeared in true form, and their grace and execution was a natural feature. This is worthy of notice. It took a great manager many years to get Melba, Eames and Nordica to appear together in Grand Opera, and then there was harmony in song only—It is a fact that Negroes do many things better than other races. Kind words, pleasant smiles, pure thoughts and charitable acts not only help us live, but often make another's life worth living. Mr. J. E. Rogers, of Rogers Hotel died this week while undergoing an operation. His death cast a gloom over the entire community, especially among the hotel men. He was a good man and a friend to the Negroes. We are building a great circulation. Help us by sending this paper to your friends out of town. Others have done so, with satisfactory results. Why can't you? BRYAN AND VARDAMAN. In the current issue of The Commoner, Colonel Bryan announces with unconcealed satisfaction that United States Senator-elect Vardaman of Mississippi has been exonerated of all blame in connection with alleged irregularities in the handling of the state funds and adds: "Mr. Vardaman is a faithful friend of the people and will be a power for good in the United States Senate." The general public will be slow in sharing Colonel Bryan's optimism over the good points of Senator Vardaman or the prospect of his being a power for good in the United States Senate. The general public has no way of judging Senator Vardaman except by his record and that is far from satisfactory. He has been one of the most persistent stirrers-up of race prejudice in the South, has appealed to the passions and prejudices of the ignorant against the law, the courts and established order, and has promised to let no day end in his official career at Washington without fighting for the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment and denouncing existing social and economic conditions of the country. He has promised, in effect, to be a demagogue and agitator. He has done nothing and said nothing, so far as the public knows, to justify Colonel Bryan's prediction that he will be a power for good in public life at Washington.—Editorial from St. Paul Pioneer Press, Jan. 22, 1912. It is even thus. Mr. Bryan, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Harmon and Mr. Clark may personally be good Democratic fundamental timber, but they are bound to stand for such as Vardaman. They may draw the platform and shape the policy of the party in all matters pertaining to the tariff; the referendum and recall railroad rates, and kindred matters, but when it comes to the rights, privileges and status of the Negro, Vardaman, Tillman, Hefflin, Davis and their ilk will be on the job, and what show has even a Negro Democrat in such hands? How prominent members of our race who pose as leaders and tell us they have our interest at heart can advise us to wallow in the political pig pen with Vardaman, Tillman, Hefflin, Davis et al, without blushing for shame is more than good citizens can understand.—Wm. T. Francis. Bryan says "he will not be a candidate"—also says who shall be a candidate?" POINTS PATH OF PROGRESS. Booker T. Washington Has Just Written "My Larger Education." Booker T. Washington, the well-known leader of the movement to make the Negro a useful citizen, has just written "My Larger Education," which is a collection of his experiences as a public man and as an educator. It is practically a continuation of his "Up From Slavery" and carries on the story. In this volume Mr. Washington notes the mistakes that have been made and points to the path of progress in the further education of the black race. As the leading authority on problems growing out of the occupation of American soil by the Negro, all that he says is of interest. Numerous illustrations give the book an added value. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. NEGRO VAGRANTS. The city of Minneapolis is fast becoming a shelter for vagrants. There are men who are at times unable to get employment, but who are willing to earn an honest living. There are many others, who are generally known as idlers. They are no good to our race, no support to the places that tolerate them, or to themselves. A round up of all vagrants will better our condition. The Vag Law must be enforced. ```markdown ``` DON'T FAIL TO ATTEND JUDGE JOHNSON'S MASQUERADE. THE BEST OF THE SEASON TUESDAY, FEB. 6TH, 1912. AT NORMANNA HALL 12th Ave. and 3rd St. ADMISSION 35c.
