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.

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.

E. KING Recognition of the Services of an Able Editor to Center In His Promotion to Chancellorship of Knights of Pyth- lae—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 real- ly can boast of at least two real leaders who are progressive and con- structive. One is the Hon. R. L. Smith, the moving spirit of the Farmers’ Im. provement society and president of its bank, and the other is the original of the cut illustrating this article, the Hon. W. B King, editor of perhaps the most widely read paper in the southwest, the Dallas Express. Mr. King hails -from Mississippi. Halls ts the word, for he belongs to ‘most every secret fraternity in Texas, and members of few organizations can ask him from where he hails, or what- ever word their ritual prescribes, for he i» able to meet the requirements of thelr code as to state limitations. Sometimes he has to answer in a half dosen or more different ways, but final- ly he locates his accoster, and with an iron grip that ts characteristic of the indomitable spirit that pushes him up- ward 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 per- sonal 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 @ 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 im Texas fail to know of the Dallas Express, but invariably they refer to it as King’s paper. The Dallas Bx- Dress, not just as a paper, but as a Dusiness institution of merit. ‘When he dies he wants his only mon- ‘ument to be the Dallas Express, and ‘the flowers for which he craves after eath are the bright eyed, big brained, devel 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 sym- Pathetic. 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 oor of opportunity against ther. 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 Re- publican party and its principles in Texas Others are fighting Lyon se- eretly 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 « 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 bebalf. He bas been an active participant in the vartous secret societies for many years. He is not satisfied with simply being a member of a society, but bas given them the benefit of his knowledge and experience freely. His efforts have been directed along constractive lines. In view of the fact that Mr, King has never sought to hold an office in any of the secret socteties to which he belongs and to which he has given much time, thought and labor and im recognition of his unstinted services to the race along other avenues of usefah pees, his friends all over the state have decided to present his name for grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. His business ncumen, 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 ai. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

Bading, nonpartisan cand! date for mayor of Milwaukee, defeates Mayor Emil Seldel, the Socialist in ‘oumbent, by a vote of 42,002 to 30,200 Of the thirty-three aldermen electes twenty-six were nonpartisan and sever were Socialists. With four Socialis holdover aldermen the new city coun: ef will be composed of twenty-six non partisan eldermen and eleven Social ints. In an open letter to President Taf Senator Joseph Dixon, campaign man ager 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 pro ceedings against them. In the Wisconsin presidential pret erence primary Senator La Follette carried every district in the state over President Taft by a ratlo of 2 to 1 Taft, however, surprised La Follette’s managers by support given him in nearly all districts. Woodrow Wilson seoured a majority of the Democratic delegation. In a speech at Peru, Ind., Colonel Roosevelt said that if hy were beaten in his present fight he would make another one. In addressing a crowd at the railway station be said: “If, after hearing me, you decide against me, very well. I'll try it again an- other time and try to get you.” President Taft was endorsed for re- nomination for president at a meeting of the Republican state central com: mittee 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 2 popu- lar 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 $5,680,000 were voted in the election at Chicago William Barnes, Jr., of Albany was re-elected chairman of the new elect- ed Republica’: state committee of New York. FINANCIA,, AND INDUSTRIAL Criminal prosecution by the federal government against the Chicago butter and egg board and the Elgin board of trade 16 reported as the aim of an investigation being conducted at Chi- cago through’ agents of the depart- ment of commerce and labor. The pro- ceedings are expected to be under the provisions of the Sherman law and will be distinct from a civil case now pending. ‘The National Lumber Manufactur- ers’ association has issued a demand that the department of commerce and labor make public the result of its in- vestigation 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 or- Ger at Detroit appointing receivers for the Pere Marquette Railroad company. TWIN CITY STAR ESSAY ON ADVERTISING. Abstract Theories Not So Help- ful as Careful Observation. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. A man who recently died in Chicago started an agitation which may revolutionize our sys- tem of education. He sought to discourage the burdening of chil- dren's minds with abstract theo- tes and formulae, belleving, on the other hand, tbat the child should first be taught to observe. When the child mind is so train- ed that It unconsciously forms an opinion of shape and color we will then have laid the founda- tion 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 un- noticed. ‘With an education based on ob- servation the average reader would get more real benefit from papers than they do now. A decade ago the advertise- ments were elther bombastic in appearance. including exagger- ated statements and impossible Propositions, or were simply meaningless words which an- nounced that such and such “a frm was in business. Now things are different, for fn all first class periodicals advertise- ments are written in an educa- tlonal, 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 standard- ized. 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 bas been read with the greatest care. NEWS OF. NOTED PERSONS President Taft's statement that he {s & progressive was disputed by Colo- ‘nel Roosevelt in a speech at Louisville. ‘The former president said Mr. Taft, im some of his acts, had shown himself te be a reactionary. The colonel went ever the record of the present admin- fetration in certain particulars and eritictsed it sharply. ‘Thieves believed to have been em- pleyed by political enemies stole a suitcase containing wearing apparel ‘and important private correspondence and papers from the apartments of Gevernor Woodrow Wilson at the Ho- tel Sherman, Chicago. He departed for Syracuse, N. Y., with only the elothes he wore. Governor Hooper of Tennessee has announced the appointment of Newell Genders of Chattanooga as United Btates senator to succeed the late Sen- ator Robert L. Taylor Mr, Sanders is state chairman of the Republican ex- ecutive committee and a prominent manufacturer of Chattanooga. ‘Miss Esther Mercy, the girl with the 9250 hat and former University of Chi- oago student, was given a verdict of $2,500 by a jury in a Chicago court. Bhe had demanded $100,000 in a slan- der suit against Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women at the institution. Sergeant John Walsh, U. 8. A, re- tired, sixty-one years old, claims the record of 176 days for walking the reund 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 With- drawal of Its Patronage. In one of the large cities of the coun- try a certain newspaper opened a vot- ing contest for women. The prize for the winner was announced as being a trip to Europe. One of the bright. in telligent young colored women of the town entered the contest and had re- cetved 800 votes when the manager of the contest found out her racial iden- tity and informed the young lady that she was not eligible, so it is said. ‘This 1s 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 de- liver us, ‘When the action of the contest man: ager became known one of the promi. nent colored citizens of the town imme- diately advised every member of bis race who had been reading the paper which drew the color line to read it no more. This was a manly stand totake, and {t 1s hoped that his advice will be strictly adhered to. Nothing 1s so mean and base as the act of one person or persons to with- hold from others that which is legally and civilly due them simply because of thelr color. When one looks at the present status of things, however, from a moral standpoint and from the stand- point of honesty it would seem that the colored people should rather re- jotce 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 bas opposition and preju: dice to fight. a race whose future fs be- fore and not behind it. If others would be mean and low and cowardly, let ux be good and kind. honest and brave. ‘Cookery Points Preserving Hinte A veteran housekeeper suggests te faciitate the work on days when fruit Preserving is to be done to have all ingredients and utensils ready in ad- vance. 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 akin is removed. If berries must be hulled, hull them the day before. As to the tedious business of “topping and tailing” goose- berries, engage the children in the fam- fly to do this a day ahead of time, pay- ing them a few pennies for the task. feo to it that glassds and jars are scalded and rinsed out in cold water ‘and ready to be filled. Be sure that the Jar lids At tightly and that the rub- bers are new and unbroken. A defec- tive rubber will cause the fermentation of an entire jar of perfect fruit. A air of kitchen scales is an important article at preserving time. Use agate or porcelain lined kettles for preserving and jelly making. Have © 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 frat may cause a chemical action which will affect the taste or color of the frut tt touches. Frult Puddinc. Every one likes fruit pudding. It ts made as follows: Into the upper pan of your double boiler put a pint of sweet milk, and when it comes to a boll stir in two tablespoonfuls of cora- starch 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 boll two minutes, stirring con- stantly. Flavor with vanilla and stir ‘ma 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 Conserve, 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. Out the pears into quarters, peeling them, removing the cores and dropping into cold water. Grate the Find from the three lemons; scrape the tind from the ginger root. Put through the food chopper the drained pears and the ginger root; add to them the sugar, the grated lemon rind, the juice of the lemons and oranges and the gill of cold water. Boi) al) together two and a balf hours and pour into jelly glasses. Gooseberry Jam. ‘Many persons are fond of goose- berry jam. To make it take the ber ries, 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 Dreserving kettle and set them where they will heat slowly, stirring them up from the bottom oftes. When enough Juice bas exuded from the fruit to pre- Vent scorching boil 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 table- spoonfuls of sherry wine and four small round pieces of angel cake. Place one piece of cake in a sherbet glass and pour one teaspoonful of sher- Fy over it. Mix the marshmallows with the cream and fill the glass. Decorate with the sugared strawberries and serve at once. Cansscwed Beale. ‘The following fruit conserve will be much appreciated: Scrape and cut small enough pleplant to make a quart; stem a pint of red currants; Dick over carefully a pint of red rasp- berries; cut fine a pound of walnuts and a pound of seeded raisins; cut up two oranges; grate the rind and ‘squeeze the juice trom two lemons; weigh all; add an equal weight of Sugar and boll until thick; put into Jare and seal. Peach and Orange Marmalade, For peach and orange marmalade Peel enough peaches to make six Pounds after: the pits have been re moved. Crack twenty peach pits and remove the kernels. Chop the kernels and add them to the peaches: add the Juice and pulp of tour large oranges and stir in four pounds of sugar. Boll, stirring often. until thick and clear. Put into giasses and when cold pour paraffin over the marmalade, Fruit Gems. For fruit gems form circles of botled rice on little fruit plates. pile up straw berries in the center of each and pour over each a indleful of pineapple juice well sweetened. All the togredients ‘should be ice cold. 1 ‘Tre MAcie 1g Two Teak LAROER man METURE I 18. 91m Lome, ee ei Cee Tae a Vitae wate ia va wee Paeetaca” © Al BrMAsicm) | Kl Ties Wl ff WI WW Minar NYWHERE INU.S $] 9° ’ in A MAILED eotans Cate andes, , Exery lady can have a eautiful and luxuriant head of [nto css iikdie.

The Waiters 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 ts not an attempt to gain recognition by strikes, etc., of to demand smmedite increase of wages etc., but to affillate with all culinary workers, who under the protection of the Allied Trades and Labor Unions get a greater con- sideration than could be hoped for without such {dentification, It {8 a fact that many other fraternal bene- fits are derived from such a union. Its object is grand, yet its benefits will never be realized unless each mem- ber does his duty as a man, and re- mains true to his obligations. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

Membership cards are being daily received by Atty. W. H. H. 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 dis. posed to deal with the Negro as a man and a citizen. ‘Many of the supposed svalwart Re. publicans 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 al- ways been Dependent, and have made no Progress, and not having fairly divided che 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 ex- pect to deal fairly with all candl- dates in Local and National issues. ‘They propose to eliminate present conditions, and have broker party lines to do so. The prospective can- didates 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 posi- tion 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 HENNE: PIN °CO., are givefte 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 Berni, “that every re- gard of politeness be preserved for the living, but that it might be per mitted to speak freely one’s mind of the dead.” Filled as our lives are with daily shame, there is no more absurd and abomifable sham about us than the mask of sorrow that we wear tp the funeral of & rogue. As a matter of tact, the dead, being safe from phys- teal punishment, should be the more open to such reprobation as their acts may have sourted. In a true sense, “the evil that men do lives after them.” To condone the faults of the dead is to corrupt the morality of the living—Reginald W. Kauffman, in The Cosmopolitan. THE RECALL. “Now, Johnny,” piped the teacher to & freckled-featured yap Who was wondering Bow Wagner hit the ball, “Will you kindly rise a moment from your daily nap And tel! us what they mean by “the reoall.’” And Johnny, set a record, for he aidn’t dally tong As hé rose up with the answer, void ot 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 ac- cept the nomination for reelection at the District Convention, thereby yielding to the Lilly Whites and plac- ing in power the J. D. Brady faction. 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. Neverthe- less, 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 Mer- chant Marine, were proofs of his abi- Uty and won for him a remarkable record. Had he accepted the nomi- nation for re-election he would have been elected, and the Negroes of Vir- ginla today would have been as those of Georgia—masters of the political situation. ATTY. McGHEE ADDRESSED DEM. OCRATS IN AN OPEN AIR MEETING. Atty. McGhee was affected greatly on Thursday by hoarsness which he contracted when speaking at the over. flow 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 re- marks appear among the other noted speakers, A POLITICAL PIONEER. Ex. Cong. Geo. H. White, formerly of North Carolina is a Congressional candidate from the Fifth District of Pennaylvanta. Ex. Cong. White de- serves 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. Tl 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.
