At the annual meeting of the Alabama State Business league, recently held at Tuskegee, the first number of the Negro Business League Herald was issued. This paper is published monthly by the National Negro Business league. The editors are Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National league, and Charles H. Moore, national organizer. In its announcement the editors say: "The Negro Business League Herald is published, as its name states, in behalf of the Negro in business. It does not regard itself as the official organ of the National Negro Business league or of any organization. "Its major interest is helping to advance the business and economic condition of the Negroes of the United States. It earnestly hopes, to begin with, that it may have the eager support of state Negro business leagues and local Negro business leagues as well as of all persons who are in any way concerned with business enterprises among the Negro people." Noted Speakers at Abyssinian Church The three weeks' special meetings held by the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York recently resulted in the addition of ninety new members to the church. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, was assisted in the series of meetings by Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist church in Washington. Another series of special soul saving meetings will begin on Friday, March 1, to run for three weeks. The first week will be devoted to Bible study under the lead of Dr. S. N. Vass, and the next two weeks Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., will lead in the revival work for soul saving. Opposition to Hook Was Nation Wide. Opposition to the appointment of Judge William C. Hook to succeed the late John M. Harlan as associate justice of the United States supreme court seems to have been nation wide in so far as the colored citizens were concerned. The attitude of Judge Hook on the color line is said to be the cause of his failure to land the job. CHARGE AGAINST WILLIAMS VOID BIG VICTORY FOR DEFENSE. Graphic Story of How Attorney Sojpio A. Jones Broke Down State's Evidence in Sensational Criminal Case In Pulaski County Circuit Court Case of Mistaken Identity. Little Rock, Ark.—The case against Lee Williams, charged with the crime of rape upon a white woman in Pulaski county, Ark., recently came up for trial in the circuit court of the said county and failed. Williams was indicted by the county grand jury and faced the court with a strong array of state witnesses against him. He was defended by Attorney Sciplo A. Jones. According to the evidence given by the state, the woman had been criminally assaulted and Lee Williams was the man who had committed the crime. Williams had been thoroughly identified by the woman as her assailant. She had picked him out of a collection of seven colored men at police headquarters and declared him to be the guilty man. She knew he was the man. She had seen him several times before and knew him. She had previously failed to identify any one of several colored men brought-before her, but by the time she saw Lee Williams she declared him to be her assailant. The state also produced some testimony which supported the main prosecuting witness. When the state closed its testimony it was the general impression of nearly all the spectators in the courtroom that the state had made out an iron-clad case and that Williams would surely be convicted and executed. And this conclusion was not at all strange, for Williams was a colored man and SCIPIO A. JONES, ESQ. had been declared by the white woman to be the criminal, and in such cases the custom has been that a conviction would follow. Against this ironclad case of the state Lawyer Sculp A. Jones, who represented Williams, proved possibly the most complete, the most sweeping and the most irresistible alibi that has been produced in the court in recent years. And with it he utterly annihilated the state's testimony, forcing the state to an unconditional surrender, with the result of a verdict of "Not guilty" by the jury. This meant, of course, the complete exoneration of his client. Able Defense by Attorney Jones. Williams had been employed by the Blissville Hardwood Lumber company. Mr. Jones produced an array of witnesses, time checks, time slips and written records, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that at the time of the alleged crime Lee Williams, the defendant, was on duty at this mill, which was 100 miles from the place of the alleged crime. The proof on the part of the defense showed that the prosecuting witness was mistaken in her identification of Williams. "She knew Williams was the guilty man. She knew she could not be mistaken about it." But she was mistaken, as Williams was not the man. This striking illustration of the imperfection of all human judgment teaches a valuable lesson and should be carefully considered by all the people, as it is of universal concern, and most especially should it be remembered by our courts and juries, not that guilty men may escape punishment, but that innocent men may not be put to death. The court and jury of Little Rock and Pulaski county, Ark., are to be congratulated upon the spirit of fairness and justice exhibited by them throughout the trial, which was a great credit to that community, state and southland. The facts in this case and its final conclusion illustrate the A Who will appear at the Orpheum Theatre week of March 3rd, with her company. BUSINESS LEAGUE HERALD. Gifford Pinchot, in a signed statement, announces that he has withdrawn his support from Senator La Follette's presidential candidacy and that he will hereafter advocate the nomination of theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Pinchot declares that the events of the past month have made it apparent that Senator La Follette's candidacy will neither hold the progressive Republicans together as a fighting force nor prevent the nomination of a "reactionary Republican."

Belleves American People Capable of Self-Government. Columbus, O., Feb. 22. "Big business," the fitness of the American people for self-government, the recall of judges and praise for the progressive legislation in Wisconsin instituted by and furthered by Senator La Follette when he was governor were topics discussed by Theodore Roosevelt in an address before the Ohio constitutional convention here. Colonel Roosevelt chose as his subject, "A Charter of Democracy." Of what he termed "big business" Colonel Roosevelt had this to say: "The anti-trust law does good in so far as it can be invoked against combinations which really are monopolies or which restrict production or which artificially raise prices. But in so far as its workings are uncertain or as it threatens corporations which have not been guilty of anti-social conduct it does harm. There should be a fixed governmental policy which shall clearly define and punish wrongdoing and give in advance full information to any man as to just what he can and just what he cannot legally and properly do." As to the fitness of the American people for self-government Colonel Roosevelt said: "Many eminent lawyers believe that the American people are not fitted for popular government and that it is necessary to keep the judiciary 'independent of the majority of the people.' I take absolute issue with all those who hold such a position." Of the recall of judges he said: "The question is one of expediency merely. Each community has the right to try the experiment for itself in whatever shape it pleases. I do not believe in adopting the recall save as a last resort when it has become clearly evident that no other course will achieve the desired result." ROOSEVELT IN RACE Theodore Roosevelt's reply to the letter of seven Republican governors asking him to stand for the Republican nomination for president is as follows: "I deeply appreciate your letter and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand as the heads of government in their several states. "I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole." A. H. will accept the nomination for president if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preferences. One of the chief principles for which I have stood and for which I now stand, and which I have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, is the genuine rule of the people; and therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preferences as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican national convention. Smoke the Reliable 5c SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c CONGRESSIONAL DOING For the first time since the progressive Republicans broke away from the regulars in the fight on the petroleum duty in the Payne tariff bill in 1809, the Republicans of the house presented practically a solid front against the passage of a tariff revision bill. All progressives voted with the regular Republican forces against the Underwood chemical tariff, which was passed, however, by a vote of 178 to 127. The "insurgents" opposed the measure on the ground that it was a revision upward instead of downward. The trust platform of Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa, candidate for the Republican nomination for president, is embodied in a bill which Mr. Cummins introduced in the senate designed to greatly strengthen the government's anti-trust powers. The measure would provide what is claimed would be the first authority to limit the size of corporations and to guard against unfair or ruinous competition through protracted underselling. Reversal of judicial decisions by popular vote as proposed by ex-President Roosevelt in his Columbus address was denounced in the senate by Senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland as "the most dangerous doctrine ever brought forward by any one who has the slightest regard for the stability of our institutions and whose opinion is entitled to any weight or respect." The house has passed the Burke bill, which provides for the classification and appraisement of lands on the standing Rock and Cheyenne reservations in the Dakotas. The classification and appraisal proposed are to be made with a view to the sale of the lands affected. Senator Gardner of Maine introduced a bill under which the government would take over the properties of express companies and operate them as a part of the postal service, extending the service to the rural delivery POLITICAL NEWS The political situation in New England was canvassed at length at Boston by Colonel Roosevelt and the men who are leading the Roosevelt movement in the Northeastern states. Governor Robert Bass of New Hampshire; Fred P. Hale of Portland, Me., son of the former United States senator, and a score of other men active in politics attended a conference at the home of Grafton D. Cushing, speaker of the Massachusetts house. President Taft has denied emphatically that in a speech in New York on Lincoln's birthday he said "That the people are not fitted for self government." In the first official statement of this kind the White House has issued during the Taft administration the president calls the circulation of this story a "falsehood." To combat the "governors' letter," which brought forth Colonel Roosevelt's announcement of his candidacy, the headquarters of the Taft boom at Washington gave out statements from nine Republican governors, including Governor Eberhart of Minnesota, endorsing the president for a second term. Contest for control of the Oklahoma delegation to the national convention, waged between Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson, resulted in a compromise agreement whereby a spit delegation will be sent to Baltimore. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Seven persons are known to have been killed and more than a score injured in a tornado which swept portions of Lincoln, Jefferson and Arkansas counties, in Arkansas. The greatest destruction was reported near Almyra, in the prairie and rice lands of Arkansas county. One steamer, the Old Dominion liner Madison, was sunk, twenty-two other ships were driven ashore and three scows were carried out to sea by the worst gale that has raked the Virginia coast since the big storm of 1879. William Henry Hall, a wealthy retired capitalist, is dead at New York from injuries received when he was struck by an automobile. LABOR NEWS. Fifty policemen under direct command of Marshal Sullivan and two companies of militia interfered with the attempt of the strike committee at Lawrence, Mass., to send fifty children to outside towns where they would be cared for. Eight women, five men and ten children were arrested and rushed to the police station. Representatives of firemen employed on fifty-one railroads in the West and in Canada ended a conference at Chicago after deciding to take a vote for better working conditions, principal among them shorter hours. Two months will be devoted to the vote. ROMAN THE MAN FOR EDITOR Eminent Scholar and Davout Churchman Well Qualified. Within about sixty days the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church will meet in Kansas City, Mo. In many respects it will be the most important gathering of the representatives of the denomination for many years. This fact has already been forecasted by the many events of moment which have transpired during the past three years aside from the marked progress which has been made along many lines of denominational work. The question of selecting suitable and well qualified men to fill the various important offices from bishop down to the more minor positions is one which for the good of the church at large should be given careful and honest consideration. As to the selection of a competent man of broad learning and ripe experience as editor of the A. M. E. Review, those who have the best interest of the denomination at heart and who are looking beyond the present status and needs of the church are fortunate in getting the consent of Dr. C. V. Roman to use his name in connection with the editorship of the Review. Dr. Roman shows by his actions and written words that he possesses the two essential elements which every man should have in whatever position he seeks or fills. These are the best interest and the honor of the cause. In considering the importance of the editorship of the Review, Dr. Roman makes the following statement: Correct thinking is the chief factor in the advancement of a race. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" is as true racially as individually. Brains and morals are the final arbiters of human destiny, and periodical literature is the most powerful agency for influencing these factors. The fathers of our church understood this when they founded a newspaper—the Christian Recorder. In consonance with this fundamental law of progress the Review was born. Twenty-five years of continued existence show that the foundation has been wisely and securely laid. The present editor and his predecessors have wrought wisely and well. It is now time, however, for a forward movement—to build upon this adequate foundation a great denominational periodical. The general conference of 1912 must elect a new editor for the A. M. E. Review. Periods of change should be periods of progress. The new editor should be a man of broad and accurate scholarship, of historical knowledge and business acumen, of experience in literature and religion and a believer in the history, doctrines and destiny of the A. M. E. church. Realizing as I do the responsibilities of the position and believing as I do that the office should seek the man, it is only a deep sense of racial and religious duty that leads me to yield to many requests and announce myself as willing to become Professor Kealing's successor as editor of the Review should the coming general conference call me to that responsibility. For the benefit of those who do not know me I will add that I am thoroughly familiar with the history, polity and doctrines of the A. M. E. church, having been an active worker therein for more than a quarter of a century. I am now and have been for three years actively engaged in editorial work. CONNAUGHT TO MAKE TOUR Royal Party Plans Trip to Cover Six Months in Dominion.

TAFT WILL MAKE WARMCAMPAIGN PLANS SCORES OF SPEECHES Before the Republican Convention In June Chief Executive Will Spend Many Days on the Road, Going as Far West as Chicago, as Far North as New Hampshire and as Far South as Georgia. Washington, Feb. 29. — President Taft will soon start a vigorous speech-making campaign to explain his position on current questions and further his candidacy for renomination. Before the Republican national convention meets in June the president will spend many days on the road and is expected to deliver scores of speeches. He will travel as far West as Chicago, as far North as New Hampshire and South at least as far as Georgia. Other engagements may be made in the next few weeks. The president's political advisers believe he is their best orator. Ever since the Taft renomination headquarters was opened here and Representative William B. McKinley was put in charge Republican leaders have urged the president to get into the campaign. He began following this advice when he accepted an invitation of a year's standing to attend the fifth annual dinner of the Swedish-American club in Chicago. The acceptance of that invitation was followed by the announcement that the president had consented to stop on his way West at Toledo, O. Invitations to visit Youngstown and Massillon have been received and probably will be accepted. A few days ago the White House let it be known that the president would go to Savannah, Ga., in April or May and might stop at Pinehurst, N. C. WIII Visit Boston March 18. After a short conference with Seatrons Crane, Smoot and Gallinger it was said that the president would extend his Boston trip to include Nashua and Concord, N. H. He will leave Washington for Boston on March 18 and will visit the two New Hampshire cities on March 19. Although no announcement has been made of subjects for speeches the president will make on these trips it is practically certain that he will not fall to include in his address the recall of judges, the "recall" of judicial decisions, possibly the initiative and referendum and topics touched by Colonel Roosevelt in his speech at Columbus. Probably Mr. Taft will make no direct reply to that speech and it has been stated with emphasis that he will not indulge in personalities. But that he will make clear his own views on many of the doctrines advocated by Colonel Roosevelt in Columbus is almost certain. A canvass of the New York political situation made at a conference between William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the New York Republic an committee, Vice President Sherman, State Senator Brackett and Representative Calder, a Brooklyn leader in congress, resulted in an informal declaration that President Taft would have an almost solid New York delegation to the Republican convention. TAWNEY DENIES THE REPORT Will Not Manage Taft's Campaign in Minnesota. Winona, Minn., Feb. 29.—Former Representative James A. Tawney declared positively that he will not be Taft's campaign manager in Minnesota, as reported in the Twin City papers. Mr. Tawney says that the burden of the campaign will fall upon the St. Paul Taft club which, it is expected, will be reorganized so as to cover the whole state. Plans already are made for opening headquarters in St. Paul, he said, and it is probable that headquarters also will be opened at Minneapolis. Mr. Tawney declared that his other duties prevent him from giving the time to the Taft cause that would be required if he were to take charge of the campaign. REDD'S SENTENCE COMMUTED.

Excellent music was furnished for the occasion by the Junior Choir and a very impressive address was delivered by Miss Marion Hiscox, missionary. Concluding her remarks Miss Hiscox painted a graphic picture of Christ with His very disciples in the "upper room" at Jerusalem. "To my mind," said Miss Hiscox this picture presents all the basic principles and doctrines of the church: (1) There was a company called out of the world. (2) Christ was in the midst of them. (3) His words to this company were 'peace be unto you.' (4) To this company was delivered the "Great Commission." They caught from Christ a vision of the glory of God and went about their work. It takes this vision to make missionaries—nothing else can do it. INFORMATION. All subscriptions are invariably due in advance. No subscription taken for a less period than three months.

A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X.

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? To subscribe is to pay. Subscribe now. Two Dollars a Year. UNLIMITED LAWLESSNESS. The sentiment of the American public knows no bounds.

Two resolutions directing an investigation of conditions by federal authorities were introduced, but no action was taken upon them. President Taft, however, at the request of Representative Berger, asked Attorney General Wickersham to learn if any federal laws had been violated by local authorities who prevented the removal of children from the strike ridden district. The attorney general instructed United States Attorney French at Boston to investigate. President Taft, after referring to the practical wiping out of the postal deficit and other features of Mr. Hitchcock's administration of affairs, informed congress that he did not approve of the postmaster general's suggestion that the government buy and operate all telegraph lines as an adjunct of the postal system. The president aired his views in a special message to congress, submitting the report of the postal commission, approving its recommendation that rates on newspapers and magazines be doubled from 1 cent to 2 cents a pound. American troops will cross the border line into Mexico whenever it shall become necessary to stop filing into American territory. In ordering additional troops to El Paso, Tex., to cope with the situation there in the event of an attack of revolutionists on the Mexican city of Juarez, the Washington government determined that there should be no repetition of the incidents of the Madero revolution, when a number of Americans in El Paso and in Douglas, Ariz., were killed by flying bullets from the opposing forces across the border. Japan by 1916 will have wrested the position of third naval power from the United States and this country will have difficulty in maintaining itself in fourth place unless it builds two battleships a year. Secretary Meyer declared this to be a fact in his testimony before the house naval affairs committee. Colombia virtually repudiated the action of its minister, General Ospina, by sending through American Minister Dubois at Bogota a cordial invitation to Secretary of State Knox to visit Colombian shores on his present trip to the republic on the Caribbean sea. Thirty rebels under Francisco del Torro were killed in an engagement with state troops at San Juan de Amula, Mex. The few that escaped scattered in various directions. FOREIGN NEWS Juces, Mex., is in possession of Vasquista rebels. Firing but one or two volleys and meeting no resistance except a few scattering shots in reply to their first volley the rebels marched into the town. They captured the machine guns that had been brought to repel the rebels, took charge of the municipal offices, the custom house, the barracks, the jail and other public buildings. Both French and German diplomats and members of the French and German cabinets are considering plans for a meeting between President Fallieres and the German emperor. The meeting, like the visit of Viscount Haldane, the British secretary of war, to Berlin, would represent another effort to solidify the peace of Europe. Probably over 200 persons were frozen to death during a snow storm in the district of Omsk, Asiatic Russia. In Omak itself thirty-one fatalities occurred, while in Koktopatavak the death roll totals thirty-two and in Petrolpavlowsk it reaches 105. Thirty-two of the passengers and crew were drowned by the foundering of the steamer Delivrario, a government vessel plying on the Kwango river, on the borders of the Belgian Congo. The Italian chamber of deputies passed the bill for the annexation of Tripoli by Italy by a vote of 431 to 38, amid enthusiastic cheering from the floor and the public gallery. After negotiations lasting a week the British government, in an official communication, admits its failure to stave off a national coal strike. THE DEATH RECORD. Isaac P. Baldwin, assistant secretary of the navy under President Polk, died on a farm near Battle Creek, Mich., where for many years he had lived in retirement. He was born in Connecticut ninety-two years ago. He reflected the British ambassadorship tendered him by President Lincoln. Charles Robert Sanger, Ph. D., professor of chemistry and director of the chemical laboratory at Harvard university, is dead at Cambridge, Mass., following a nervous breakdown. He was born in Boston in 1860. James Elliott, a negro, who settled in Binghamton, N. Y., in 1860 and amassed a fortune by dealing in real estate during the reconstruction period, is dead at his home there, aged 101 years. John Morg, veteran of the war of 1812 and pobably the oldest man in the United States, died at his home in Indian Creek, near Columbia, Ky. VOTES FOR WOMEN. I want to vote very much, and if I could I should. Isn't it abused that the women who have fed the bables should not be allowed to vote on measures to bring about clean milk for them because by some tradition of the prehistoric age men have done the voting? Industrial questions, such as the minimum wage, are matters of which women know quite as much as men.—Jane Addams. NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS General Pedro Nel Ospina, Colombian minister to the United States, has been recalled by his government. The action of the Colombian government was taken because neither it nor the Colombian people uphold the position taken by the Colombian minister at Washington in notifying the state department that the visit to Colombia of Secretary Knox would be inopportune owing to the fact that Colombia's claims in connection with Panama have not yet been arbitrated. President Taft will soon start a vigorous speechmaking campaign to explain his position on current questions and further his candidacy for renomination. Before the Republican national convention meets in June the president will spend many days on the road and is expected to deliver scores of speeches. He will travel as far West as Chicago, as far North as New Hampshire and South at least as far as Georgia. Edward Hines, millionaire lumberman, whose alleged boast that he "put Lorimer over" with a $100,000 fund was the basis for the reopening of ```markdown ``` EDWARD HINES. the senate Lorimer inquiry, has been expelled from membership in the Union League club of Chicago. President Taft will reply to Theodore Roosevelt's Columbus speech. Although the president will make no direct attack on Mr. Roosevelt and although administration officials refuse to discuss the latter's Columbus speech it became known that the president would answer the speech and present a clear cut issue between his political creed and that of his predecessor. Secretary of State Knox sailed from Key West, Fla., on board the cruiser Washington on a political mission which will take him, according to present arrangements, to the capitals of Central America, to Caracas, Venezuela, and possibly to Cartagena, Colombia, and also to various points in the West Indies. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, pure food champion, is seriously considering resigning as chief of the bureau of chemistry in the department of agriculture. He admitted this in an interview. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL That the United States Steel corporation is a combination in restraint of trade and that its control of the ore fields of Minnesota is the basis for the control of 80 per cent of the steel business of the country is the statement made in a report to the Stanley steel investigating committee by Farquar J. MacRae, an expert accountant who investigated the accounts of the corporation by authority of the committee. Thirty officials and employees of the National Cash Register company of Dayton, O., were indicted on charges of criminal violation of the Sherman antitrust law by a special federal grand jury at Cincinnati. NO DEATH. I believe there is no death. I believe that man has a continuous existence and takes on new organism that I can no more understand than a caterpillar can understand the construction of a butterfly. What I believe in one single sentence is that man never dies. Death is a launching. Death calls us and says: "Come, come, you are tired; come, you are tired, and sleep." I often look forward to the time when that voice will tell me that I may sail over the unknown sea. —Lyman Abbott. TWIN CITY STAR SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—First Quarter, For March 3, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL-SERIES Text of the Lesson, Mark i, Mark i Memory Veres, 16, 17—Golden Text Matt. ix, 37, 38—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gospels, it would seem that Jesus returned to where John was preaching, and as he cried on two different days, "Behold the Lamb of God" two of John's disciples, Andrew and probably John, the brother of James, followed Jesus and spent some time with Him one day, after which Andrew found his brother, Simon, and brought him to Jesus, and the inference is that John brought his brother James. Then Jesus went into Gallilee to Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter, and called Philip to follow Him. After this Philip brought Nathaniel, and thus we see the first six disciples according to John 1, 29-51. They seem to have received several calls before they left all to follow Him fully. The lesson today indicates a call to Andrew and Peter as they were casting a net into the sea, and to James and John as they were in the ship with their father mending their nets. The account of this incident is found in Matt. iv, 18-22, as well as in our lessons verses from Mark. The incident of Luke v, 1-11, seems to have been wholly different and at a different time. At that time He used Simon's boat as a pulpit and then filled both his boat and that of his partners, James and John, with fishes. We must ever distinguish between Christians and disciples. A Christian is one who truly receives Jesus Christ as his Saviour and thus becomes a child of God, justified freely by His grace (John 1, 12; Rom. iii, 24; v. 1). There are no degrees in salvation, for all who are in Christ are equally saved by His precious blood. He obtained eternal redemption for all, and all who receive the gift of God, which is eternal life, have it without money or works of any kind on their part. Discipleship follows, and as it is so costly to the believer few are willing to pay the price; hence the whole hearted disciples are comparatively few, and there are many degrees in discipleship and many calls to obtain the few. See Luke xiv, 26, 27, 33; Matt. x, 37, 38; xvi, 24. Having saved us fully, freely and forever, He desires us to be ever, only, all for Himself, His own special property, that He may live His life in us and reveal Himself through us to the world (Ps. iv, 3; Tit. ii, 14, R. V. II Thess. iv, 10, 11). The ministry of John the Baptist seems to have been very brief, and, having been imprisoned because hated by a wicked woman, he was in due time beheaded, and the Lord Jesus suffered it to be so, although He said that no greater was ever born of woman (Matt. xi, 11). We cannot understand, but we must have unbounded confidence in God. After John was put in prison Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, urging men to repent and believe the gospel (verses 14, 15). Both John and Jesus and also the twelve preached that the kingdom was at hand, the kingdom plainly foretold by all the prophets, a kingdom of peace and righteousness under a righteous king, before whom all kings will fall down and whom all nations will serve. Then shall the nations learn war no more, and from a righteous Israel at the center, with Jerusalem as the throne of the Lord, the earth will soon be filled with the glory of the Lord (Isa. xxxl, 1; 17; ii, 4; Jer. iii, 17; Ps. xxll, 11). Truly, it is worth while to follow such a leader through all trials to such a kingdom and to walk worthy of it and Him (Matt. xvi, 27; I Thess. ii, 12; I Pet. v, 10). We may so know Him as to be blind and deft to all but His face and His voice, and thus He will make us fishers of men to complete His elect church during this age of the postponement of the kingdom, because they said, "We have no king but Caesar," "We will not have this man to reclaim over us." In the latter part of our lesson we find Him in the synagogue in Capernaum on the Sabbath day and so teaching that all were astonished at His doctrine, for He taught with authority. The words were not His, but His Father's, for He said only what the Father told Him to say (John xlii, 49; xiv, 10; vxli, 8). Power belongeth unto God, and where the word of a king is there is power (Ps. lxli, 12 (Eccl. vili, 4). On the night of His arrest His two words "I am" sent the Roman soldiers to the ground, for it was the same voice which said, "Let there be light" (Gen. 1, 3). A demon possessed man was in the synagogue, and the evil spirit knew Him and called Him Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God (verse 24), for the demons believe and tremble (Jas. ii, 19). It is not believing about Jesus Christ that saves, else all demons might be saved, but it is submission to Him as God and the reception of Him as the Saviour of sinners. See how the demons confess what many intelligent religious people today refuse to believe—that Jesus is God. They also believe in a place of torment into which He will cast them at the appointed time (Matt. vili, 29). This, too, is ridiculed by many, but as truly as this demon obeyed the voice of Jesus and came out of the man so will all people obey Him to whom He will say, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matt. xxv, 41). FOR EASTER WEAR. AN ODDLY DRAFTED BLOUSE The coat of this blue silk serge tailored suit being removed, the oddly draped blouse is revealed. This blouse is of cream shadow lace, and the long fuchi ends hang below the cutaway fronts of the coat. Boudoir of the Kisses One of the strangest boudolls in the world is that belonging to the Princess Amabelsk-Lazarew of Florence, Italy, a member of the Russian family of the Demidoff. The small room is in the famous villa of Pratolina, outside Florence, near Fiesole, and all the pictures, furniture, lights and ornaments represent the osculatory art. In the backs of chairs are cherubs in the act of kissing each other; in the chandeliers are pairs of doves with their beaks touching. Even the electric bell on the table near the princess' couch is made of two little peasant figures, and the sound comes only when their lips touch. There are dainty pictures of all the great love scenes in history and romance, the leavetaking of Romeo, the farewell of Mary Stuart and David Rizzio, the Huguenot lovers, Launcelot and Guinevere and their unhappy followers, Francesca da Rimini and Paolo. The cushions of fine embroidered silk or tapestry show rustic love scenes where in the actors are saluting each other in vigorous fashion. The princess has passed years in gathering her Capulet trophies, and her room in that wonderful villa is filled with the treasures of the Medici. Middy Suit For the Wee Laddie. Every small boy should have a middy suit at least once in his career—if only for the sake of a photograph in it to be kept for grownup years. ```markdown ``` OF BLUE SERGE AND WHITE BRAD. This suit of blue serge, with white braid and embroidered chevrons, is very nautical and pleasing indeed for this purpose. Georgia Girl In Japan. Miss Marie De Jarnet Norris is a Georgia girl who has lived a great deal of late years in Japan and writes most entertainingly of her work in that country. She is a portrait painter. She painted the portrait of Princess Murokama, whom she describes as a most cultivated woman, a philosopher, priestess and poet. She also painted the portrait of Prince Katsura and other members of the royal family and is enthusiastic in her praise of them. THE MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER AND HAIR-STRAIGHTENER.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. A compliment was paid us last week, when one of our delinquent subscribers informed our agent that she didn't want that paper (referring to the Star), because it had no news, just the same thing every week. Now, suppose we printed the news of all auto-patrol rides, her name may have headed the list. People who condemn a newspaper just to evade payment of a dollar or so—"Should be above suspicion"—not running a buffet—flat, and assignation house. We publish this as a warning to those, who do not know it, that a Negro newspaper deserves as much respect as any other, and the Star demands it—from these social go-betweens, who are opening wider the avenues of vice to our young people. We do NOT print all the news. If we did, the city would get all the revenue.

"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. THE NEGRO'S DUTY. "What the Negro must do is to contend for his rights in the best spirit without losing his head and he will find the genuine white people the world over respecting them. First let him respect himself and others will respect him."—(Charkeston, S. C. Messenger.) Kind words, pleasant smiles, pure thoughts and charitable acts not only help us live, but often make another's life worth living. BETTER POLITICS. 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. SAME OLD DEMOCRACY. You can't always tell a book by its binding, but you can generally tell an organization by its officers. We regret that some of our Democratic friends, who deserve our pity rather than censure, have allowed themselves to be drawn to the lowest depths by contact and compact with an element, who always have and always will be identified with our worst element. We congratulate many of the Negro Democrats on their refusal to swallow these conditions. It is rumored that the Star "fought" the Old Folks Home, and Y. W. C. A., because they represented race discrimination. We are frank to say that we would not have advocated Segregation along any lines. That we have given publicity to these institutions, and we hope they have received some benefit. We are aware that many are identified with these institutions for charitable purposes, some for social advertisement and a Few for all the financial advantages (graft) that it affords. The Star is not fighting any Negro organization, unless in the open, which is through its columns. In the onward march of science men have learned that the dewdrop is a tiny ocean, that solidity of matter is obtained by moving particles so closely knit that the human eye seeks space in vain. These silent forces speak wonders of the glowing possibilities of man in ORGANIZED function. PULLMAN PATRONS BLAMED FOR SLEEPER TIPPING EVIL. Minneapolis Agent Denies Car Company Is Responsible for System Complained of. He Says Travelers Started the Practice and They Can Stop It. Alleging that the traveling public was mainly if not entirely responsible for the tipping system among Pullman car porters and conductors and that it was now reaping what it had sown of its own free will, Manager Sheckler, Minneapolis representative of the Pullman company, denied that his company was responsible for or in any way connived at tipping among its employes. "It makes no difference what we pay our porters or conductors," said Mr. Scheckler, "we cannot put a stop to tipping. The people started it; we did not. We don't want it, and if it has gone too far people have only themselves to blame for it." Mr. Sheckler denied that the Pullman company paid its porters and conductors small wages and trusted to the traveling public to make good with tips what the company should have paid from its own exchequer. Salaries of porters and conductors are graded, he said, men starting in getting about $27.50 a month, with their board, or part of it, and experienced men getting $50. Conductors, he stated, were paid as high as $100 a month. Company Is Blamed. Mr. Sheckler's statement was made in connection with figures recently issued by the interstate commerce commission, in which it was intimated that the Pullman company had developed a system which threw upon its patrons the burden of paying porters sufficient to enable them to meet their living expenses. It was shown that for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1911, the company paid 6,317 porters an average of 1.04 a day, and for the same period collected from 21,655,052 passengers $37,001,469. The wages, it was stated, were based on the theory that the company trusts to the public to make good the difference between a nominal wage and an adequate compensation by a generous distribution of tips to the porters. It is estimated that through tips porters were enabled to add $1 per day per man to their salaries, which means that the public gave them on tips for the year $2,275,000. Frequent complaints have reached the Pullman company about this system of tipping. Passengers object to having to pay the porter for the privilege of being allowed to enjoy the comforts for which they have already paid the company.—Minn. Evening Tribune. Feb. 12 1912. This interview, if correctly stated, is but the rambling remarks of an underling, who has exceeded his authority. The Pullman Co., is now at a disadvantage chiefly because of such agents, and today it cannot induce the better class of porters to enter its employ. This Mr. Sheckler is one of these agents, an over-seer at the Union Depot; yet he assumes the responsibilities of this big public service corporation, and poses as their official spokesman. The public will judge his report as erroneous, and his egotism appears ridiculous, even to the heads and employees of all sleeping car departments. But he has made his point—gained newspaper notoriety—done the porters an injustice and literally branded the report of the Inter-State Commission as a lie. There are many things about the Pullman service that Mr. Sheckler does not know but he does know that the travelling public will continue to pay porters "just to make up their salary," especially since the berth rate has been lowered. Does he know of a porter in this district who gets his board? He does know that the company often pays all the expenses when a porter is a witness for the company in a damage suit. Even when he has been fired they reinstate him and depend on his testimony and his employment generally terminates shortly after the decision is rendered. Does Mr. Sheckler know that Geo. M. Pullman inaugurated this system of tipping, which has developed these vast proportions? He does know that these Uniformed Beggars are underpaid, and taught in Pullman schools, that they must at all times obey their Superior Ornaments—the conductors, who have been instructed by Inspector Davis that the Negroes are not white men's equals and they have no rights that should be respected. We are glad that the Tribune, in its intention to deal fairly, reported the findings of the Commission, which offsets this random talk. The employees of the Soo Ry., and other roads are paid $50 per month, and give better service, and get better tips, because in their positions they are treated as men by their employers, who protect them in the right. The position of a porter of a Pullman Co., in these parts, is most subservient and degrading. Leave man- TWIR CITY STAR hood behind, when you enter this service—has been the motto, of those who hold their jobs. For many of the foregoing reasons which are true, many good men "pass up" the Pullman Co., and the final analysis is that it doesn't afford the Salary and Treatment that warrants the service of a man, except, when like the conductors, they enter this service as a last recourse—a means to an end. Beoker 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. THE RAMSEY COUNTY AFRO- AMERICAN CLUB, ST. PAUL. The Ramsey Co., Afro-American Club. (Social) Is an organization which the citizens of the Twin Cities should be proud of. Its membership, which is very large, is composed of the best element of our race, and its roster, has on it the names of men, who in every way are a credit to the organization, which secured its charter in 1901. The club rooms are located at 115 E. Third St., St. Paul, and its appointments are in keeping with the class who enjoy its comforts. The Library and Reading room is elaborately furnished in Mission style, and the library contains congressional records, late editions of current literature, and volumes from our best authors. The pool and billiard room is also quite a feature. The whist-room is large and well fitted with several tables, there are many hard fought games, which would command the criticism of the best players in the congress. The main feature of the Club is the Photographic Entertainment, selections from the Extravaganzas and Oneras, and records of the highest class artists, as Caruso, Melba, as our race's favorite comedian Bert Williams. This innovation affords much pleasure to the members. It is gratifying to know that the men of the "Twin Cities" are able to support this club, and its members and their friends, whenever they pass enroute always find their club rooms in good order and in charge of either of these officers.

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. EXPERIENCED ARTISTS SANITARY SERVICE WALKER WILLIAMS, A. C. LYLES, LINCOLN OVERALL. 124 EAST 3rd ST. ST. PAUL.
