Relative to Professor Hawkins' eminent fitness and ability, after sixteen years of remarkable service as head of the educational department of the church, having phenomenal success, he is regarded as one of the most astute financiers and business men of the race. He has a thorough knowledge of church and civil laws, which have made him a potent factor in church councils. He would be of incalculable value as the financial secretary. An adverse report on the house steel revision bill, signed by all the Republican members of the finance committee except Senator La Follette, was submitted to the senate. The bill is denounced as ill advised and unfortunate. It is declared the enactment of the measure would reduce protection below the margin of safety and tend to destroy one of the most important industries of this country. A bill designed to break up foreign shipping pools and combinations and to give this government greater control over such alleged restraints of trade which originate outside the United States was introduced in the house by Representative Humphrey of Washington. The government now has several anti-trust suits pending against foreign steamship combinations. Within fifteen minutes after the house received President Taft's message asking that $500,000 be appropriated for strengthening levees and building new dikes in the flood districts along the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers the house passed a bill making $350,000 available for the purpose. The bill was rushed over to the senate, where it also was passed. Vigorous investigation of the money trust and its ramifications was forecasted when the house adopted a resolution empowering the judiciary committee to employ every means in probing the situation. The resolution gives to the committee the powers of a court, authorizing it to subpoena witnesses and to compel the production of papers and records. The house interstate and foreign commerce committee reported favorably a bill to amend the law giving the interstate commerce commission authority over express companies. Provision would be made for rate zones, the charges varying according to the distance the package was carried from the point of origin. The bill limiting labor on government work by private contractors to eight hours a day was ordered favorably reported from the senate committee on education and labor. The bill already has passed the house. No amendments were offered by the senate committee. Representative Bathrick of Ohio, a Democrat, introduced a bill in the house to place meats, flour and cereals on the free list. The bill was referred to the committee on ways and means. Mr. Bathrick hopes its passage will help reduce the cost of living. The house passed, 173 to 17, a bill creating a children's bureau in the department of commerce and labor. The measure already had been passed by the senate and it will now go to the president for his action. The recall of federal judges by popular vote at presidential elections was proposed in the house by Representative Taylor of Colorado, a Democrat, who introduced a bill for that purpose. Women's Clubs Loyal to Mrs. Tubman. The work of the various women's clubs to raise funds for the maintenance of Mrs. Harriet Tubman, of underground railroad fame, has been quite successful, Mrs. Tubman is nearing the century mark, and, although feeble in body, her mind is clear. She can tell a story with ease and accuracy and delights to rehearse the thrilling adventures with which her early life was crowded. National Association of Teachers. The ninth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools will be held in the historic city of Chattahooga, Tenn., beginning on Wednesday, July 24, for four days. Race Wants No Color Line Officials. Just as the colored people protested against the appointment of a man to the supreme Court who was known to harbor prejudice against them in the matter of legal and civic rights, in like manner will the voting citizens of the race conduct themselves in the coming national election. BUSINESS MAN AN EDUCATOR Professor John R. Hawkins Work For A. M. E. Church. NEW PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. Lauds Present System of Raising Funds For Current Expenses, but Believes the Time is Ripe For Method by Which to Reach a Larger Number of Members. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Raleigh, N. C.—One of the most important questions to be considered by the general conference of the A. M. E. church at its session in Kansas City, Mo., in May is the selection of a secretary for the financial department of the denomination. Because of its importance keen interest is being manifested by the ministry and laity of the church. The import of this office is made appreciable by the following utterances of the able orator, educator, successful business man and commissioner of education for this denomination, Professor John R. Hakins of Kittrell, N. C. He says: "Our present system is acknowledged to be a good one, and so far it has PROFESSOR JOHN R. HAWKINS. worked well. The marvel of the age is the success that attends the efforts of the A. M. E. church in raising money and maintaining its several departments. The dollar money alone is the bedrock of this great system. A membership of nearly 800,000 contributes annually nearly a quarter of a million in 'dollar money.' This much has been done, too, without any general or specific plan having its origin in or being centered in our financial department, thus making this department a mere receiving station and depository for distribution. "To my mind, we have reached the point when it is absolutely necessary to inaugurate some plan by which we may reach a greater number of our members and collect from them even a larger percentage of the dollar contemplated by the originator of our 'dollar money' system. "For some time I have been trying to work out some scheme to submit to our hardworking ministers by which their burdens would be made lighter and their work more satisfactory to themselves because of the success that would naturally follow. The hour is ripe for action. Our people are much worked up over the idea of doing for themselves, building their own churches, maintaining their own schools and supporting their own organizations." Professor Hawkins sets forth in a clear and concise manner how glowing results can be obtained by a well defined system which would leave in this department a surplus of $100,000 for the first year, to be used where mostly needed after meeting the salaries of bishops, general officers and other expenses of the general church. Giving the present system of division with the above figures to work on, the following results will be obtained: As to that for the other departments, 38 per cent equals $144,000, which would give to every superannuated preacher, his widow or heir, twice as much as paid to them now. Eight per cent for education would be $32,000, which would give each school twice as much as is now paid. Ten per cent for church extension would be $40,000, twice as much as is now applied.

Anent the story circulated to the effect that the Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, was opposed to the participation of the race in politics is stoutly denied by Mr. Johnson. It is well known that he is one of the leading men in Georgia and has done much for the advancement of the race along all profitable lines in education, business and among the large secret societies. As a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows he is recognized as a man of more than ordinary executive ability. He is also a successful lawyer and a member of the Atlanta (Ga.) bar. It is begging the question, therefore, to even suggest that such a man would be opposed to members of his race taking part in or exercising their legal right to participate in things political. In reference to his recent speech in Atlanta Mr. Johnson says: "I was addressing a very large convention of both white and colored delegates and a large number of white HON. HENRY L. JOHNSON. and colored spectators at the Orpheum theater, in Atlanta. I had observed that the primary mission of the Republican party was one of emancipation and that they had accomplished bodily emancipation of the colored race under the final decree signed by Mr. Lincoln in his emancipation proclamation; that the Republican party in Georgia must now address itself to the emancipation of the white people in Georgia from their seemingly inexorable mental and moral bondage; that Providence had especially and munificently endowed the state of Georgia with those natural resources the development of which would be best conserved under economic policies. "The fact that fourteen colored men and one woman had been lynched in our native state in the past nine months was proof of the mental and moral throidom of some of the people in Georgia who control the state and that its only hope for disenthalment lay in the beneficent policies and spirit of the Republican party, manifested under its laws and in their orderly execution of officeholding, as a recent Democratic paper had alleged, was not responsible for any of these outbreaks; that the matter of officeholding is not the aim and destiny of any great party and should not be its principles are the main things and officeholding merely incidental." WOMEN AGAINST LYNCHING. Cambridge and Boston Public Unite in Big Protest Meeting. Under the leadership of Mrs. Mary James a well attended mass meeting to protest against lynching was held in the St. Stephen Baptist church in Cambridge, Mass., recently, at which Mrs. M. C. Hall of Boston presided. Two women of Cambridge, Boston and vicinity are alive to the best interest of the race and are more determined in their efforts to create public sentiment against the lynching of human beings than ever before. Among those who delivered strong addresses on the subject besides Mrs James were Mrs. Addle H. Jewell Mrs. C. G. Morgan, Mrs. Alexander Wright and the Rev. Johnson W. Hill Mrs. J. W. Hill is also much interested in the work and assisted in opening the meeting. It was decided to hold such meetings monthly and arrange to have different speakers each time in order to get the views of a larger number of those interested in this work for the protection of human life. There is no mistake about it, aitation along right lines is bound to bring good results. There was a time when bloodbounds were used almost solely to hunt down runaway slaves. That wholesome pastime having lost its usefulness in that particular, bloodbounds are used now in various ways and for various purposes, the latest being to run down the white murderers who shot up the Hillsville (Va.) court. Smoke the Reliable 5c BIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5c SOUTH NOT FREE FROM PEONAGE EXTENT OF THE EVIL NOTED. Decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Alonzo Bailey Case—Attorney General's Efforts to Enforce the Thirteenth Amendment—Favorable Attitude of Federal Judges. Washington.—Colored citizens generally are very often heard to complain bitterly that the federal government does not enforce the war amendment of the constitution. Much that the federal government does in this respect very often goes unnoticed. Undoubtedly the most important of these amendments, if any one of them may be said to be more important than another, is the thirteenth amendment, which abolished slavery and which was intended to secure to every man the right to individual liberty and freedom from servitude of any kind except as a punishment for crime whereof he has been duly convicted. Therefore the decision of the supreme court in the Alonzo Bailey case, rendered by Mr. Justice Hughes, holding unconstitutional the state law of Alabama which held Bailey as a peon, in which Attorney General Wickersham and Assistant Attorney General Harr appeared, was a distinct triumph for the cause of freedom. It should be remembered that it was not the official duty of the attorney general to appear in this case, but his act was wholly voluntary in the interest of the enforcement of the thirteenth amendment and the peonage statutes. The report of the attorney general for 1911 gives two pages to the subject of the enforcement of the peonage statutes. The report says: The vigorous enforcement of the statutes against peonage, conducted by the department in the last few years, it is believed, has done much toward stamping out that form of involuntary servitude in military distrust. It is some of the southern states this practice appears to be still quite extensively carried on. Prosecutions under the peonage statutes have been instituted in nearly all the southern states and in a few states not in the south. The reports also recommends that— The statutes of the United States upon the subject of peonage and slavery should be amended so as to render them more consistent with the laws against slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime. Make Amendment More Binding. Here it would seem is a large field for the workers of the race to secure from congress laws necessary to render more effective the thirteenth amendment and thus make more secure the lives and liberty of our brethren in the south. The records will show that prosecutions of persons for violating the peonage statutes have been instituted in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Texas and other states. Convictions have resulted in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, with prosecutions still pending in Kentucky, Louisiana and Texas. In a number of cases prison sentences have been imposed upon men of wealth and standing, in addition to being sentenced to pay heavy fines. The local United States attorneys have had the assistance of special agents of the department of justice and the assistance of special attorneys in the prosecution of these cases. Great credit should be given them for the courage and vigor with which they have tried to enforce these laws under circumstances where juries might be expected to be slow to convict. Federal judges, notably Judge Emory Speer of Georgia and Judge Thomas Jones of Alabama, have been most outspoken and courageous in their charges to the grand juries considering these cases in their respective districts. A few more years of this kind of campaign, with the assistance of congress, ought to result in stamping out peonage and involuntary servitude of all kinds. It will be recalled that just after the war the southern States passed a great many black laws for the purpose of re-enslaving the Negro, all of which they were required to strike from their statutes before being readmitted into the Union or participate in the national government. Various devices have been used since to accomplish the same result, such devices as "vagrant laws," "landlord and tenant laws," "false pretenses," the "claim of indebtedness," etc. Many a man has been held as a virtual slave in the turpentine camps and contractors' stockades by coercion and brute force. One of the methods used if a person desires the services of a laborer who has broken his contract or been guilty of other misdemeanor is to swear out a warrant, take the prisoner before a justice of the peace, go surety on his ball bond, then take the man to his farm or plantation and compel him to labor. Other Illegal Methods In Practice. Sometimes the case is dropped with the above action, or if it is prosecuted a fine is paid. The person desiring to hold the laborer in his service will pay his fine and compel him to work out the fine. One of the methods used is to have a man confess to the commission of a crime and sign a criminal court contract whereby he undertakes to work out the fine for the person who pays it. This person is called the confessor. At the July term of the United States district court for the southern district of Alabama twenty-one indictments were returned against twenty-six defendants for holding nine different persons as peons and slaves. These indictments are still pending. In one case a man was convicted of petty inceny in the state court, fined $15 and costs, judgment and all amounting to $43.75. One John Doe, a stranger, came into court under the state laws and confessed judgment for the defendant and paid the fine and costs. Thereupon the defendant entered into what is called a criminal contract to work out this amount at $0 a month. The defendant ran away after working over a month. He was rearrested on an affidavit by John Doe, fined one cent and $07.05 costs. Then another stranger, Richard Roe, confessed judgment; another contract is entered into by which the defendant in the state court agrees to work fourteen months and fifteen days at the rate of $0 a month. A little later the defendant ran away again, was rearrested and this time fined $300 and $112.80 costs, making $412.80, and sentenced to hard labor for more than a year. Steamboat Case on Alabama River. There was another case of old fashioned slavery where a man was working on a steamboat plying up and down the Alabama river. Three persons took him off the boat, carried him to their plantation and forced him to go to work. This man refused to work, was cruelly beaten and whipped and when he was unable to work was told to go. He was afterward arrested on a charge made by the kidnapers of carrying concealed weapons and fined $53.85 costs, judgment confessed upon him, and he was taken away into slavery again to work it out at $10 a month. White men, as well as colored men, have been held in peonage. Indeed, one of the peons named in one of the indictments above referred to is a white man. The Harlan and Gallagher cases decided at the December term of the supreme court, 1910, were cases in which white men were held as peons in the lumber camps of Florida under "a most atrocious system of enforced labor." While these state laws making peonage possible are made with special reference to compelling the labor of the Negro, they occasionally catch white men as well, particularly immigrants working under contract, as in the Harlan case, all of which goes to show that the liberty of no man is safe as long as the humblest black man may be held as a peon or a slave. The Benefit of Summer Schools. The custom of holding summer normals at the various institutions for higher learning is becoming more general. It gives teachers an opportunity to perfect themselves in those branches which they desire to know more about and also brings them in direct contact with the more advance methods of imparting instruction. It is well to hold such summer schools, and even a larger number of them would no doubt receive full patronage. Miss Jones an Honor Pupil at Ithaca. At the third public recital of the advanced students of the Ithaca (N. Y.) Conservatory of Music recently held Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Attorney Thomas L. Jones of Washington, was given the honors of the evening by her finished knowledge of the critical works of the old masters, which were used on this occasion. Baptists to Meet In Greenwood, S. C.

Vinton, who has been in mission work for twelve years in Burma, spoke recently at the Hampton (Va.) institute. He told briefly the story of Baptist missionary work during the past sixty years and referred to the fact that there are in Burma many native Christians at the present time. Mr. Vinton said that in his own field there were 150 organized churches, having 11,000 communicants. Much of the missionary work is being done by converted natives. Owing to the lack of roads and to the wet and dry seasons communication is extremely difficult. The missionaries are compelled to travel in ox carts and often suffer from the wear and tear of travel. Rev. Mr. Vinton showed with the aid of colored lantern slides and moving picture films the various phases of life in Burma and the beauties of the costly pagodas. He declared that some of the pagodas reach a height of 385 feet and are a quarter of a mile in circumference at the base. The pagodas are monuments of a sacred character at which the people of Burma worship. These structures are substantially built and are famous the world over for their ornamentation. The cheapness of labor makes it possible for the government of Burma to hire men at 12 cents a day to water the streets. The ordinary unskilled laborer earns 12 cents a day. In telling the story of the building of a church on his station, known as the "Vinton Memorial," Mr. Vinton said that a $31,000 structure represented 186,000 days of labor by the natives of Burma. He gave an excellent illustration of the use of the tonal language of Burma. About sixty-seven languages are spoken in "pagoda land." ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF TEACHERS AT BOWIE, MD. Professor William Holds First Institute at State Normal School. Bowle, Md.-The Institute For Colored Teachers of Prince George county held a two day session at the Maryland State Normal and Industrial school, No. 3, of this place, the latter part of March. It was the first institute held by Professor J. T. Williams, vice principal of the State Normal school and the newly appointed supervisor of the colored schools of Prince George county, an arrangement having been made with the state authorities of Maryland by which this school gets the benefit of Prince George county's allowance of $1,500 per annum for industrial training of colored students in exchange for the service of Professor Williams, whose mission it is to supervise and assist in introducing industrial features in the various colored schools of the county. The large attendance of teachers, parents and trustees far exceeded expectations and tested the chapel, dining and dormitory capacity of said school, which proved an ideal place for such a gathering and where Principal D. S. S. Goodloe, his charming wife and family and accommodating student body did all in their power to see that all were hospitably entertained and cared for in a most satisfactory manner. The welcome address by Principal Goodloe was a masterly effort, intensely practical and thoroughly appreciated by the visiting teachers, as was also the splendid example of well rounded and evenly balanced womanhood which was furnished the institute in the person of his better half, who is the mother of several healthy, courteous and intelligent children and who presides with equal grace and efficiency in the kitchen and other domestic departments of said school, as she does at the piano, where she proved a veritable artist in interpreting Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. Every teacher of the thirty-eight colored schools of Prince George county except three, who were absent on account of illness, were present and participated in a lively discussion of the many interesting and practical subjects on the program. Special addresses were made to the institute by Hon. F. A. Sasserc, county superintendent, who is an ardent advocate of education for the colored people of Maryland, and by Professor William H. Davis, principal of the Colored Business High school of Washington. Hon. M. Bates Stevens, state superintendent of education, Maryland, sent a splendid letter to the institute, which was replete with encouraging sentiments and practical suggestions, and regretted his inability to be present, as he had planned. $\Delta .1$ of the thirty-eight buildings and sites used by colored students in Prince George county are owned by the county, four of them have more than one teacher, and the two recently constructed buildings at Fairmont heights and Bladensburg are valued at $1,500 and $1,200 respectively.

KELLER, Candidate for Re-Election. A Record of Accomplishment. Mayor Keller has reduced the cost of running the city government from $24.78 per capita in 1910 to $21.91 per capita in 1911. Mayor Keller has furnished the city with the new flaming are electric lights which give five times as much illumination at no additional cost to the taxpayer. Mayor Keller has stood between the taxpayers and any increase of the bonded debt of the city not vitally and immediately necessary. Mayor Keller has caused reports of outages on street lights to be in- creased from 20 to as high as 2000 a month and the city gas bills have been reduced accordingly. Mayor Keller has started an investi- gation of gas and electric rates which promises reductions to every consum- er in the elty. Mayor Keller has forced the street car company to pay for sprinkling their tracks both with water and with calcium chloride when the temperta- ture is below freezing. Mayor Keller has insisted on busi- ness methods in public office and that a dollar expended should bring a dol- lar in value to the taxpayer. Mayor Keller has stood for clean city government as opposed to ma- chine polities of every description. Mayor Keller belongs to practically ‘every organization devoted to the up- building of the city and has interest ed himself actively in every work tending to its industrial growth from the river and harbor and union depot project down to the splendid proposi- tion for a new library. On these and other important public matters, Mr. Keller has devoted many hours of time and intelligent labor. Mayor Keller has proven himself a friend of the Negro citizens of St. Paul. MRS.

A system for the universal language has been discovered, which it is claimed will make it possible for per- sons of different tongues to learn It in a few hours sufficiently well to con- verse together. Prof. Otto Jasperson of the University of Copenhagen, is one of its originators, and it is called “Ido.” He is willing to’ send the key to any gathering of persons to try It. He says it is not a beautiful language, but much richer than the Frenchman's English, or the Englishman's German. Should it be adopted, people the world over could call for their golden grain belt beers in the same language. Will Attend Coming Congress. Rey. J. R.

GOOD INFLUENCE OF W. E. KING Recognition of the Services of an Able Editor to Center In His Promotion to Chancellorship of Knights of Pythias — Warm Friend of Ambitious Young People. Dallas, Tex.—With due respect to the scores of our people in this state who are daily doing all in their power for the development of our race here and throughout the nation, Texas really can boast of at least two real leaders who are progressive and constructive. One is the Hon. R. L. Smith, the moving spirit of the Farmers' Improvement society and president of its bank, and the other is the original of the cut illustrating this article, the Hon. W. E. King, editor of perhaps the most widely read paper in the southwest, the Dallas Express. Mr. King halls - from Mississippi Halls is the word, for he belongs to meet every secret fraternity in Texas, and members of few organizations can ask him from where he halls, or what- ever word their ritual prescribes, for he is able to meet the requirements of the code as to state limitations. Sometimes he has to answer in a half dosen or more different ways, but finally he locates his accouter, and with an iron grip that is characteristic of the indomitable spirit that pushes him upward and onward he grasps as man to man the hand offered him and slaps his newly made friend on the back and says, "Glad to meet you, brother." Editor King makes friends easily, and probably no man has a larger personal acquaintance in Texas than he, and along with Bill McDonald he shares the honor of being the best known man in Texas. As the editor of a paper of fearless convictions and the possessor of a peculiar style of writing what he says is read, and what he says is readable. Few people in Texas fail to know of the Dallas Express, but invariably they refer to it as King's paper. The Dallas Express, not just as a paper, but as a business institution of merit. When he dies he wants his only monument to be the Dallas Express, and the flowers for which he craves after death are the bright eyed, big brained. EDITOR W. R. KING. level headed young men and women he hopes to leave in charge of his paper and its plant. Some men accuse Mr. King of being stern—very stern—but no aspiring youth ever found him other than sympathetic. His greatest enemies are men against whom he had no ill thoughts, but fought because they heeded not the cry of the colored youth and persistently helped to close the door of opportunity against them. At present Mr. King is the leading spirit among the men of the race who are fighting Cecil Lyon, whom he terms the Lily White destroyer of the Republican party and its principles in Texas. Others are fighting Lyon secretly and under cover, but the editor of the Express fights always in the open and when racial interests are at stake asks for no quarter and gives none. He gives his time and money and space in his paper to the present fight, and so far as is known not one has given anything to further the fight or assist him. Alone he has braved the storm and stood like a stone wall against the enemy. The masses of our people in this state are beginning to realize more and more the results of the efforts put forth by Mr. King in their behalf. He has been an active participant in the various secret societies for many years. He is not satisfied with simply being a member of a society, but has given them the benefit of his knowledge and experience freely. His efforts have been directed along constructive lines. In view of the fact that Mr. King has never sought to hold an office in any of the secret societies to which he belongs and to which he has given much time, thought and labor and in recognition of his unstinted services to the race along other avenues of usefulness, his friends all over the state have decided to present his name for grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. His business acumen, his foresight and his training in life's great school of experience make of him an ideal man for the place his friends desire him to fill. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Thirty thousand persons homeless, two thousand square miles of country inundated, thirty persons drowned and a financial loss of $10,000,000 constitute the result of a two-week flood in the Mississippi valley. These figures were arrived at by government engineers and officials of state levee boards engaged in fighting to maintain the Mississippi levees from Illinois to threatened points in Mississippi and Arkansas. Water is pouring into Arkansas through three new breaks in the levee south of Memphis. These gave way and several hundred square miles are flooded. Railroad traffic in these sections practically is paralyzed. Hundreds of persons still are menaced by the river at points in Lower Missouri, Northwest Tennessee and Arkansas. They are marooned in house tops, in trees and on anchored rafts. Calbrath P. Rodgers, the first man to cross the American continent in an airplane, was killed at Long Beach Cal., when his biplane, in which he had been soaring over the ocean, fell from a height of 200 feet and buried him in the wreck. His neck was broken and his body crushed by the engine of his machine. He lived only a few moments. The Merchants and Miners' line steamer Ontario, from Baltimore to Boston, which carried fifteen passengers and a crew of forty, was run on the rocks off Montauk Point, L. I. with a fire raging fiercely in her hold. The passengers were taken off by a stug, but the crew remained aboard and fought the fire until it was brought under control. The white squared wagon of the St Paul fire department was almost completely wrecked and two members of the squad fatally injured when the patrol, in answering a fire alarm, crashed into a runaway horse and wagon. Only one of the eight members of the crew escaped injury. W. D. Skinner, aged sixty, treasurer of the Hawkeye and Des Molnes Fire Insurance company, was instantly killed, his wife probably fatally injured and W. L. White and wife were seriously hurt when a gas explosion wrecked the Skinner home at Des Molnes. A mother, with her baby clasped in her arms, and an eighteen-year-old sister were crushed to death when a Chicago and Alton freight train crashed into a Chicago street car. Eighteen other persons were injured, some perhaps fatally. POLITICAL NEWS. Dr. G. A. Bading, nonpartisan candidate for mayor of Milwaukee, defeated Mayor Emil Seidel, the Socialist in cumbent, by a vote of 42,002 to 30,200 Of the thirty-three aldermen elected twenty-six were nonpartisan and sever were Socialists. With four Socialists holdover aldermen the new city council will be composed of twenty-six nonpartisan aldermen and eleven Socialists. In an open letter to President Taft Senator Joseph Dixon, campaign manager for Colonel Roosevelt, declares that the president "will become the deliberate receiver of stolen goods" if he does not repudiate the action of certain federal officeholders in the Kentucky elections and institute proceedings against them. In the Wisconsin presidential preference primary Senator La Follette carried every district in the state over President Taft by a ratio of 2 to 1. Taft, however, surprised La Follette's managers by support given him in nearly all districts. Wowrow Wilson secured a majority of the Democratic delegation. In a speech at Peru, Ind., Colonel Roosevelt said that if he were beaten in his present fight he would make another one. In addressing a crowd at the railway station he said: "If, after hearing me, you decide against me, very well. I'll try it again another time and try to get you." President Taft was endorsed for renomination for president at a meeting of the Republican state central committee of Utah. The state convention will be held at Provo May 15 to select delegates to the national convention. The Minnesota Republican state committee rejected the Roosevelt-La Follette proposition for taking a popular vote on president in the caucuses. The vote was 28 to 7. Twenty-five Democratic and eleven Republican aldermen were elected and bond issues carrying an expenditure of $5,630,000 were voted in the election at Chicago William Barnes, Jr., of Albany was re-elected chairman of the new elected Republic state committee of New York. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL Criminal prosecution by the federal government against the Chicago butter and egg board and the Elgin board of trade is reported as the alm of an investigation being conducted at Chicago through" agents of the department of commerce and labor. The proceedings are expected to be under the provisions of the Sherman law and will be distinct from a civil case new pending. The National Lumber Manufacturers' association has issued a demand that the department of commerce and labor make public the result of its investigation of the "lumber trust." Lengthy correspondence between the officers of the association, President Taft and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel accompanied the demand. Federal Judge Angell signed an order at Detroit appointing receivers for the Pere玛塔妮 Railroad company TWIN CITY STAR ESSAY ON ADVERTISING. Abstract Theories Not So Helpful as Careful Observation. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. A man who recently died in Chicago started an agitation which may revolutionize our system of education. He sought to discourage the burdening of children's minds with abstract theories and formulae, believing, on the other hand, that the child should first be taught to observe. When the child mind is so trained that it unconsciously forms an opinion of shape and color we will then have laid the foundation for a better education. Many people read papers and are not able to tell anything they saw except the fashion, sporting or editorial page, while the other departments are passed by unnoticed. With an education based on observation the average reader would get more real benefit from papers than they do now. A decade ago the advertisements were either bombastic in appearance, including exaggerated statements and impossible propositions, or were simply meaningless words which announced that such and such a firm was in business. Now things are different, for in all first class periodicals advertisements are written in an educational, instructive manner, and people who read them carefully learn many things which help them to save time and also to cut down expenses. Advertisements of standardized, trademarked goods is the best thermometer to gauge the march of progress of invention and scientific research, and no newspaper or magazine should be discarded until it has been read with the greatest care. NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS President Taft's statement that he is a progressive was disputed by Colonel Roosevelt in a speech at Louisville. The former president said Mr. Taft, in some of his acts, had shown himself to be a reactionary. The colonel went over the record of the present administration in certain particulars and criticised it sharply. Thieves believed to have been employed by political enemies stole a suitcase containing wearing apparel and important private correspondence and papers from the apartments of Governor Woodrow Wilson at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago. He departed for Syracuse, N. Y., with only the clothes he wore. Governor Hooper of Tennessee has announced the appointment of Newell Sanders of Chattanooga as United States senator to succeed the late Senator Robert L. Taylor. Mr. Sanders is state chairman of the Republican executive committee and a prominent manufacturer of Chattanooga. Miss Esther Mercy, the girl with the $250 hat and former University of Chicago student, was given a verdict of $2,500 by a jury in a Chicago court. She had demanded $100,000 in a slander suit against Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women at the institution. Sergeant John Walsh, U. S. A., retired, sixty-one years old, claims the record of 176 days for walking the round trip from San Francisco to New York. The previous record, held by Edward Payson Weston, was eighteen days longer. NEWSPAPER DRAWS COLOR LINE IN PRIZE CONTEST. Race Resents Insult by Advising Withdrawal of Its Patronage. In one of the large cities of the country a certain newspaper opened a voting contest for women. The prize for the winner was announced as being a trip to Europe. One of the bright, intelligent young colored women of the town entered the contest and had received 800 votes when the manager of the contest found out her racial identity and informed the young lady that she was not eligible, so it is said. This is but another instance of the unfair treatment which respectable, honest and industrious colored people are daily receiving at the hands of the so called best white people. From such injustice and hypocrisy may God deliver us. When the action of the contest manager became known one of the prominent colored citizens of the town immediately advised every member of his race who had been reading the paper which drew the color line to read it no more. This was a manly stand to take, and it is hoped that his advice will be strictly adhered to. Nothing is so mean and base as the act of one person or persons to withhold from others that which is legally and civilly due them simply because of their color. When one looks at the present status of things, however, from a moral standpoint and from the standpoint of honesty it would seem that the colored people should rather rejoice in the fact that they are not of the class here spoken of. As Dr. Booker T. Washington well says, we belong to a young race, a race which has opposition and prejudice to fight, a race whose future is before and not behind it. If others would be mean and low and cowardly, let us be good and kind, honest and brave. 一 Cookery Points Preserving Hinta. A veteran housekeeper suggests to facilitate the work on days when fruit preserving is to be done to have all ingredients and utensils ready in advance. If the fruit must be peeled do this early in the morning or even on the afternoon before, dropping each piece in cold water as soon as the skin is removed. If berries are hulled, hull them the day before. As to the tedious business of "topping and tailing" gooseberries, engage the children in the family to do this a day ahead of time, paying them a few pennies for the task. See to it that glasses and jars are scaled and rinsed out in cold water and ready to be filled. Be sure that the jar lids fit tightly and that the rubbers are new and unbroken. A defective rubber will cause the fermentation of an entire jar of perfect fruit. A pair of kitchen scales is an important article at preserving time. Use agate or porcelain lined kettles for preserving and jelly making. Have a spoon with such a long handle that the steam from the contents of the kettle will not scald your wrist and hand as you stir them. A wooden or agate spoon is better than one of metal, upon which the acid of the fruit may cause a chemical action which will affect the taste or color of the fruit it touches. Fruit Pudding. Every one likes fruit pudding. It is made as follows: Into the upper pan of your double boiler put a pint of sweet milk, and when it comes to a boil stir in two tahlepoonfuls of cornstarch which has been dissolved in a little water. Let boil five minutes. Add one egg, well beaten, with half a cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Let boil two minutes, stirring constantly. Flavor with vanilla and stir in a cupful of raspberries crushed and sweetened. Remove from fire and beat well for a minute. Pour into mold, chill and serve with sugar and cream. Other fruits, such as blackberries, canned peaches (chopped fine) or even stewed apples, may be used. Green Pear Conserva Pear conserve is thus prepared: Have ready a quarter peck of green pears, three lemons, two oranges, four pounds of granulated sugar, two ounces of green ginger root and a gill of water. Cut the pears into quarters, peeling them, removing the cores and dropping into cold water. Grate the rind from the three lemons; scrape the rind from the ginger root. Put through the food chopper the drained pears and the ginger root; add to them the sugar, the grated ginger rind, the juice of the lemons and oranges and the gill of cold water. Boll all together two and a half hours and pour into jelly glasses. Gooseberry Jam. Many persons are fond of gooseberry jam. To make it take the berries, mash and remove the stems and weigh them. For every pound of fruit allow three-quarters of a pound of granulated sugar. Put them, with the water clinging to them, into the preserving kettle and set them where they will heat slowly, stirring them up from the bottom often. When enough juice has exuded from the fruit to prevent scorching boll gently for an hour, still stirring every five minutes. At the end of an hour add the sugar and cook gently for an hour or more, or until the jam is thick. Marshmallow and Raspberry Cream. Marshmallow and raspberry cream is delicious. To make it take one dozen marshmallows cut fine, one cupful of cream whipped stiff and sweetened, one pint of strawberries, two tablespoons of sherry wine and four small round pieces of angel cake. Place one piece of cake in a sheerb glass and pour one teaspoonful of sherry over it. Mix the marshmallows with the cream and fill the glass. Decorate with the sugared strawberries and serve at once. Conserved Fruit The following fruit conserve will be much appreciated: Scrape and cut small enough pieplant to make a quart; stem a pint of red currants; pick over carefully a pint of red raspberries; cut fine a pound of walnuts and a pound of seeded raisins; cut up two oranges; grate the rind and squeeze the juice from two lemons; weigh all; add an equal weight of sugar and boil until thick; put into jars and seal. Peach and Orange Marmalade. For peach and orange marmalade peel enough peaches to make six pounds after the pits have been removed. Crack twenty peach pits and remove the kernels. Chop the kernels and add them to the peaches; add the juice and pulp of four large oranges and stir in four pounds of sugar. Boll, stirring often, until thick and clear. Put into glasses and when cold pour paraffin over the marmalade. Fruit Gems For fruit gems form circles of boiled rice on little fruit plates, pile up strawberries in the center of each and pour over each a ladleful of pineapple juice well sweetened. All the ingredients should be ice cold. LADIES LOOK! Every lady can have a beautiful and luxurant head of hair if she uses a MAGIC. After a shampoo or bath the lady must tie the dandruff; and it will straighten the curliest head of hair. The Magic will not burn or injure the hair, because the comb is never heated. The steel heaters in the Magic will not burn the hair. The Aluminum Comb is easily detached from the heating bar, then after the bar is heated the comb goes back into place and is held by a turn of the handle. The Magic Sampoo also suitable for curling irons, has a cover and can be carried in a hand bag. Magic Sampoo price $0.00. Magic Alcohol Heater $0.00. Liberal terms to agents.

Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, is to operate a Summer School, this summer beginning June 10th, just after Commencement, and running six weeks, or until July 19th. The Industries, Manual Training, Pedagogy, Psychology and a Special Course in Instrumental and Public School Music will be given by a selected Faculty. Special lecturers like Dr. L. B. Moore, of Howard University and Prof. G. N. Grisham, of Kansas City, will be heard from time to time. The indications are that the attendance will be large from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska, Iowa and adjoining states. The location of Western University is one surpassing beauty, and President Kealing proposes to look after the Social as well as the Scholastic features of the Session. THE WAITERS' UNION Many waiters in our city have scorned the idea of unionism. We are free to say that they have not given proper thought to the value of unity. The question is often asked, "What will it benefit me?" Just what you demand of it. The Walters of Local 634 have organized with this purpose, "to better their condition morally, socially and financially." To do this they must co-operate as a unit, along reasonable lines. It is not an attempt to gain recognition by strikes, etc., of to demand immediate increase of wages etc., but to affiliate with all culinary workers, who under the protection of the Allied Trades and Labor Unions get a greater consideration than could be hoped for without such identification. It is a fact that many other fraternal benefits are derived from such a union. Its object is grand, yet its benefits will never be realized unless each member does his duty as a man, and remains true to his obligations.

Membership cards are being daily received by Atty. W. H. W. Franklin, Secretary of the Negro Independents. Active interest is being taken in the organization by many prospective candidates. Pres. Schuyler Phillips says that they realize that the Negro votes is a great factor, and the voters expect to support men, who are disposed to deal with the Negro as a man and a citizen. Many of the supposed salwart Republicans have declared that the Negro Independent Progressive Club recently formed is for the purpose of graft. It is needless to give much comment but necessary to say that those party bound leaders have always been Dependent, and have made no Progress, and not having fairly divided the spoils, we may say have lived on Graft. The object of the members of the Negro Independent Progressive Club is directly opposite, hence it derived its name. They expect to deal fairly with all candidates in Local and National issues. They propose to eliminate present conditions, and have broker party lines to do so. The prospective candidates who know the value of the Negro vote are willing to consider this organization. The time is near when a Negro with an endorsement of a club of voters, can demand a position in Hennepin County or the State. Heretofore recommendations from our Republican leaders have been a monetary consideration, and so many applicants have been named for a single position that the result was that the party received every man's individual effort and no one secured the position. This new organization has received among its members many, who believe in a new order of things, we may say a Revolution, and to bring about these changes we have declared our Independence. When these Negro voters of HENNEPIN CO., are given recognition in State and National positions, by either individual or party then they as a unit will declare their allegiance to that individual or party, which serves them best. Independence first and allegiance afterwards. THE TRUTH WELL TOLD. 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. Knaufman, in The Cosmopolitan. "Now, Johnny," piped the teacher to a freckled-featured yap Who was wondering how Wagner hit the ball, "Will you kindly rise a moment from your daily nap And tell us what they mean by "the recall." And Johnny, set a record, for he didn't dally long As he rose up with the answer, void of doubt: "It's wot we hand de pitcher wen dey're gettin' to 'im strong—Take 'im out! Take 'im out! Take 'im out!" —GRANTLAND RICE. PAST AND PRESENT. It is not generally known that Hon. John M. Langston, Congressman from the 4th District of Va. refused to accept the nomination for reelection at the District Convention, thereby yielding to the Lilly Whites and placing in power the D. J. Drayfaction. Recently a younger Brady is known to have remarked "that he was glad to be in a convention where Negroes were not admitted. Mr. Langston was a victim of his political friends, and he regretted his mistake. Nevertheless, he surrendered the Negroes' rights, and since then the Lilly White have given no quarter. Mr. Langston was seated after a contest with a Democrat, who had dispensed nearly all of the political patronage of his district. His speeches on the Federal Elections Law and The Merchant Marine, were proofs of his ability and won for him a remarkable record. Had he accepted the nomination for re-election he would have been elected, and the Negroes of Virginia today would have been as those of Georgia—masters of the political situation. ATTY. McGHEE ADDRESSED DEMOCRATS IN AN OPEN AIR MEETING. Atty. McGhee was affected greatly on Thursday by hoarsness which he contracted when speaking at the overflow meeting of the Democrats in St. Paul. We were surprised to hear this, as the morning papers had made no reference to his presence. Yet we read the daily papers for race news and support them. We would like to have seen Atty. McGhee's remarks appear among the other noted speakers. Ex. Cong. Geo. H. White, formerly of North Carolina is a Congressional candidate from the Fifth District of Pennsylvania. Ex. Cong. White deserves the support of his race. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. The Twin City Star Cost less than any other local Negro paper. Then, spend your money as you like. Each issue speaks for its self. THE BLACK MAN'S HOPE. Candidate: "Blackman, blackman, Why are you running so? Have you no home, No friend, no place that You can go?" Blackman: "I have tried all the business houses They have filled me up with dope. I'm now running for the Polls, for it is my last hope." Candidate: "Come on boys and vote for me And all I say I'll do. I'll close all the theaters That discriminate against you, So see that I get elected By getting all of your votes For your chances are growing slim mer And this is your last hope." When we candidates are Elected to our seats Fair and square. The promise that we made you Will be left floating in the air. For the election will be over, And the promise was a joke It will take the whole Council to consider the Negro hope. D. G. PATTerson. LABOR FORWARD MOVEMENT. The Labor Organizations have invited the co-operation of all churches in their Forward Movement—which will be held here this month. A committee will arrange special meetings among Negroes. An interesting program, including speakers of national reputation, will be one of the features. WANTED. Reliable, live, honest, bustling agents for the Twin City Star.

They choose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. — The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. Everything for Women's Wear Where Fay 403 405 405 The Very Latest I pertains to Women Real Estate Rentals A REAL NEWSPAPER A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicle 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? 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."—(Charleston, S. C. Messenger.) ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR. Deputy, Installs and organizes Chapters of The O. E. Star.
