SIXTH ANNIVERSARY OF PHILADELPHIA PYTHIANS. Philadelphia.-The subordinate lodges of Knights of Pythias recently celebrated their sixth anniversary with a sermon at the Varkir Memorial church. The lodges were in command of Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier and made a magnificent showing. The order formed at the Masonic temple on Locust street and marched with the Second regiment, under the command of Colonel H. G. Scroggins, and, headed by the famous Elks' band, proceeded out of Locust street to Broad with the Second Regimental band of Knights of Pythias following, with 700 knights neatly attired with Prince Albert coats and silk hats. When the procession stretched out on Broad street it reached from Locust to Fitzwater, and, with drums beating, flags and banners flying, it was conceded that it was one of the greatest demonstrations of colored men ever witnessed in the city. The line was perfect, and the conduct of the members was in keeping with the order. Here six years ago this organization was practically unknown, but under the matchless leadership of Grand Chancellor B. G. Collier it has progressed to the front rank of fraternal organizations. It is expected that the demonstration of the grand lodge on the 24th of July will eclipse that of previous demonstrations. The First and Second regiments will give a dress parade in the afternoon of the 24th at Washington park, Philadelphia, and an exhibition drill in the evening. The program rendered at the recent celebration was admirably arranged, and the dignitaries of the order were in evidence. Sir E. J. Waring, master of ceremonies, acquitted himself nobly. NEW BISHOP AS AN EDUCATOR Selection of College President and Zealous Worker For the Advancement of the Race For High Official Position In A. M. E Church Meets With Popular Appreci. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Columbia, S. C.-Because of the substantial achievements for the Methodist Episcopal church made by the Rev. Dr. W. D. Chappelle, A. M., president of Allen university, Afro-Americans in this section are proud of his recent election to the bishopric. He was born of slave parents in Fairfield county, S. C., in 1857. He received his early education in the Fairfield Normal institute. The narration of his life, especially at this time, shows his native ability to stand hard knocks and win out. His first public work was teaching in the rural district, which he did from 1880 to 1882. The zeal to accomplish results for the spiritual and material uplift of his race led him to the ministry, which caused him to intelligently prepare himself for the great work. He entered Allen university and graduated with honors in the year 1887. Upon graduating he rapidly grew into prominence and filled a number of important positions in the church. For eleven years he served as presiding elder and a general officer of the church for eight years. As secretary of the Sunday School union he has been a potent factor in this branch of the noted activities of this able religious agency. As a legislator he is conservative, forceful and a mighty leaven in the general conference, of which he has been a member consecutively since 1888. Dr. Chappelle is now completing a remarkable six years as president of Allen university, having served two years before he went to Nashville, Tenn., as the head of the Sunday BISHOP W. D. CHAPPELLE. School union. He is an ardent advocate of high education, to which he has given much time. The students of Allen university idolize him, and unanimously they prefer him to remain as their president, but the members of the church in this state and the church in general feel that he is needed on the bench as one of the leaders of the church because of his excellent contribution to the success of the church and loyalty to his principles. He is honest, frank and brimful of courage and has always stood for Christian manhood, free speech and equal opportunity in the church. He is a unique character in the connection and is often opposed because of his native aggressiveness, but he is always found on the side of right in a fight and never retreats; hence he is popular with the masses. In a recent article he assailed the method of allowing men to enter the ministry of the church by lowering the bars and not coming up to the requirements of the church, causing the serious condition of the prepared young men to turn their backs on the ministry in many conferences. Because of the article referred to there were those who said that Dr. Chapelle ought to keep quiet if he wanted to be elected bishop. But Dr. Chapelle said that he would rather be right and at ease with his conscience by doing the great work which God has committed to him than to be elected bishop of the A. M. E. church. "We believe," said this minister, "that the ministers of our church have outgrown that narrow and contracted idea that because a man speaks out Subordinate Lodges Make Fine Showing—Chancellor Collier In Command. The pet feature of this organization, of which it boasts, is its endowment department, created through the efforts of the grand chancellor in 1910, during which time the fund of that department has amounted to $18,385, and since July, 1911, it has paid out $5,050 in death claims to windows and orphans ranging from $50 to $300. Arrangements are being made for the next grand lodge session, which will convene in this city on the fourth Tuesday in July. The climax came when Sir N. L. Young pictured the grand chancellor in his magnificent address in a manner that made the grand chancellor concede that he had raised the fence too high. The address of the grand chancellor on the order was timely and to the point. The annual address was delivered by the Rev. C. W. Gaines, who paid a glowing tribute to the members and officials of the order. Afro-American Land Holdings. In Macon county, Ala., the colored people own 61,689 acres of land; in Liberty county, Ga., the race owns 55,048 acres, and in Louis county, Va. 53,268 acres in farm and timber land. CLIO SCHOOL IN NEW HOME. Institution Founded by Mise Minott Benigns In Larger Quarters. Reopens In Larger Quarters. The Clio School of Mental Science recently moved into new and roomy quarters at 135 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, New York. The reopening was the occasion for a large gathering of former students and friends of the institution, which is so sably conducted by Miss Adena C. E. Minott, A. M., founder and proprietor. The school was for many years located at 487 Sixth avenue, where it grew to such proportions as to make it necessary to secure larger quarters and more adequate facilities for class work. The usefulness of the school is attested by the large numbers of students and graduates which it has prepared for business and professional life. The advisory board consists of the following well known and influential persons: Mr. Fred R. Moore, chairman; Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, vice chairman; Professor Adena C. E. Minott, secretary treasurer; Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, Menco H. Wolfe. Dr. Dr. W. H. Brooks, Rector H. C. Bishop and the Rev. Dr. E. G. Clifton. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. Subscribe now. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., JUNE 8, 1912. SCHEME TO MEET COLONEL'S FIGHT President's Friends Assert He Has at Least Thirty-five of the Fifty-three Members—Roosevelt Men Will Not Try to Select Presiding Officer for the Contest Hearings. Chicago, June 6.—A plan to meet at once the full force of Colonel Roosevelt's fight to control the organization of the Republican national convention, by making permanent the temporary organization, with Senator Elijah Root as chairman, was partly agreed on by Taft leaders who are here for the session of the Republican national committee. The control of the national committee by Taft forces is said by members friendly to the president's candidacy to be certain. When the committee meets to organise for the hearing of contested delegate cases the Roosevelt forces will not attempt either to seat R. B. Howell of Nebraska to succeed Acting Chairman Rosewater or to select a Roosevelt committeeman as presiding officer for the contest hearings. Fresh from conferences with Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, Senator Dixon and National Committeeman William L. Ward of New York made it clear that the Roosevelt managers were not behind the claim of Mr. Howell to a seat on the committee. He will endeavor to present his own case, contending that his recent endorsement in the Nebraska primary entitles him to the place; but members of the committee expect a speedy decision against him. Work Before the Committee. The committee will select a successor to Chairman John F. Hill of Maine who died last winter, adopt rules to govern the hearing of the contest cases, decide whether to give publicity to the hearings and arrange the time to be allotted to each case. There are at present more than 238 delegate seats in the convention for which contests have been prepared by either Taft or Roosevelt. The first of the cases will be taken up Friday morning. Senators Crane, Penrose and Sanders were busy canvassing the situation. It is said that Taft leaders regard at least thirty-five of the fifty three members of the national committee as favorable to the president's candidacy. The ultimatum from Colonel Roosevelt that Senator Root must not be selected as temporary chairman, which was reiterated by Senator Dixon on his arrival in Chicago, was met by a strengthening of the Taft forces in opposition. The Taft leaders determined not only to adhere to their purpose to seat Senator Root, but to call upon their forces to help make him the permanent chairman of the convention when it meets June 18. Senator Dixon outlined the Roosevelt program. He declared the Roosevelt forces would fight to the last ditch in the effort to overthrow Senator Root for temporary chairman of the convention, but that they would take no part in the effort to seat new members of the national committee to defeat Victor Rosewater of Nebraska for chairman of the national committee or to obtain control of a majority of the members of the committee. The Roosevelt manager denied many current stories regarding Mr. Roosevelt's plans and asserted that "no statements will come from any source but my office" as to the plans of the Roosevelt forces. "The vote against Senator Root is part of the moral support which men pledged to Roosevelt must give if they are to carry out the spirit of their instructions and pledges," Mr. Dixon said. WISHES OF PRESIDENT TAFT Root May Be Permanent and Temporary Chairman. Washington, June 6.—Senator Elibu Root will be the permanent chairman of the Chicago convention, as well as the temporary chairman, if President Taft's wishes prevail. This fact came out after Senator Root had called on the president by invitation and Mr. Taft had made known his wishes in the matter. The temporary chairman will be reported to the convention by the national committee, subject to the ap- proval of the convention. The permanent chairman will be reported by the committee on permanent organization, made up of one member from each state and territory, reported from the floor of the convention, following the temporary organization. The wishes of the candidate for president usually are considered by the convention. Margaret Sangster Dead. Newark, N. J., June 6.—Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, author, editor and poet, for years a distinguished contributor to the World of Letters, died at her home in Maplewood. Major Cunningham's Work Appreciated The colored people of Cudiz, O., were quick to recognize the efficient services of Major David Cunningham, member of the Ohio state constitutional convention, in his contention to have the word "white" stricken from the new constitution, which will come up for adoption at the fall election this year. Major Cunningham is a believer in equal rights and justice for all citizens without regard to race, color or creed. His success in the convention is the success of all Americans who believe in justice and equality according to law. Hon. Harry C. Smith also serves much credit for the part which he has taken in co-operating with Major Cunningham in matters of legislation. Odd Fellows Prepare For Future Work Pittsburgh Odd Fellows have begun active preparation for the annual sermon to the fraternity, which will be held in Wheeling, W. Va., in May, and field day exercises, which will occur at Rock Springs park in June, and the trip to Atlanta, Ga., in September. Colonel John W. Anderson has recently named his official staff for the ensuing year. Brooklyn Woman Leaves $7,000 Estate The will of Mrs. Anna M. Fisher, who was buried from the Siloam Presbyterian church in Brooklyn on Sunday, Oct. 29, was died for probate on Tuesday, Oct. 31. Mrs. Fisher left an estate valued at $70,000. She was one of the wealthiest colored women in Brooklyn. Mr. Francis H. Gilbert, who is the register for the National Negro Business league, is the executor of the estate, which consists principally of bonds and mortgages except the house in which she lived. Mrs. Fisher was ninety-three years of age. Biennial Meeting of Odd Fellows. The members of various lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are selecting their delegates to the session of the biennial movable committee of the order, which takes place in Atlanta in September. From present indications Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, will be elected grand master Grand Secretary James F. Needham will be opposed for reelection by Past Grand Master William L. Houston. Julius C. Johnson of Baltimore has many assurances from various sections of the country of support in his campaign for re-election as grand treasurer. Snug Sum For Atlanta Baptist College. Notwithstanding the prevailing high price of food, clothing and fuel, the colored people raised the neat sum of $15,000 for the Atlanta Baptist college within the past year and a half. The school freely recognizes the merits of Afro-Americans in every department of its work. There is no subterfuge or red tape about its willingness to give the race a square deal. Zion Churchmen to Meet In Salisbury. The annual meeting of the Washington and Philadelphia conference of the A. M. E. Zion church will be held in Salisbury, Md., beginning on Wednesday, June 12.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL Instruction in Special Branches. Instruction in Special Branches. 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. FLAG READY FOR ODD FELLOWS Loyal Devotee of Time Honored Fraternity Christens Trophy at Big Social Function Before Sending It to New Temple in Atlanta—Johnson on Speaking Tour. Washington.—A large and beautiful American flag, 20 by 10 feet, will be unfurled from the flagpole of the new $100,000 Odd Fellows' temple in Atlanta, Ga., on the day set for the opening of the session of the biennial movable committee in September. It will thereafter continue to adorn that historical structure as a permanent patriotic decoration. The flag is made of the finest bunting and manufactured expressly for the purpose mentioned. It is to be the gift of General Henry Forrest of Washington, a prominent member of the Grand United Order of Dodd Fellows. He enjoys a nation wide reputation as a philanthropist and public GENERAL HENRY FORREST. spirited man of affairs. The charming banner has been shipped by express to the officials of the order in Atlanta, ready for display in September in connection with appropriate dedicatory ceremonies. Before sending away the precious trophy General Forrest conceived the idea of dedicating it here and with characteristic generosity invited a number of congenial friends to assist him in the performance of this interesting function. The affair took place the latter part of May in the spacious headquarters of the Odd Fellows' Journal. An elaborate luncheon was served by Caterer Emanuel Murray, and the welkin was made to ring with wit and eloquence during its discussion. Associate Justice W. L. Houston acted as toastmaster, and among those who spoke in enology of the whole souled host and of the cause which he sought to honor were Messrs. H. P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal; J. N. Golus, manager of the Golus Printing company; R. W. Thompson, general correspondent; Emanual Murray, W. H. H. Terrell and others. General Forrest responded in a felicitous vein. A handsome necktie was presented to Mr. Thompson by the host. A telegram was dispatched to Acting Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson, regretting his enforced absence on account of speaking engagements in Georgia. This is the first instance on record where a member of our race has made a present of a fine American flag to wave over a building owned by a fraternal organization, and the act is destined to become historic. The general is noted for his liberality in helping secret orders, churches and needy individuals, and one of his most notable benefactions is his annual dinner given to the nurses of Freedmen's hospital. General Forrest is a widower and lives in a handsomely appointed flat in Carrolburg place. For many years he has been connected in a responsible capacity with the Pennsylvania railroad. It is expected that at the Atlanta B. M. C. he will be chosen as inspector general of the Patriarchate, the military arm of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows.

Peregrino, editor of the Cape Town (South Africa) Spectator, is doing splendid work in South Africa, both as a journalist and as the accredited representative of King Lewanika of the powerful Barolong tribe. It was at the suggestion of Mr. Peregrino that slavery was abolished in Barotseland a few years ago. The following letter will show in what esteem Mr. Peregrino is held by British government officials in South Africa: Lealit, South Africa. Dear Mr. Peregrino, I cannot allow you to depart without placing an record the most high services you have rendered the cause of progress and liberty in the Barotse valley. You arrived here at a time when this administration was grappling with a very difficult and delicate problem and wherein the paramount chief and the Barotse national council were antagonistic and by throwing the weight of your presence won the day for liberation and civilization. You may not possibly appreciate the value of the great service you have rendered to the cause of humanity, but I feel sure that one day the Barotse nation will rise up and thank you therefor. I am, very faithfully, yours. MASAS F. WORTHINGTON, Secretary for Native Affairs, Northwest Rhodesia. This is indeed high praise and worthy bestowed. Mr. Peregrino is a native African, a full black born at Accra, on the Gold Coast, and he is capable of matching intellect with any man of his age and inches, whether on the rostrum or in the subtle art of diplomacy. He is now (May, 1912) on a diplomatic mission for King Lewanika at Mafe king, S. A. CONCORD HOLDS REUNION. Increase in All Departments of Flourishing Brooklyn Church. At the annual reunion of the Concord Baptist church, in Brooklyn, held the last week in May, the trustees' report, read by Secretary Graham H. Carter, showed receipts of $10,070 for the fiscal year. Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, pastor of the church, has done a great work during his pastorate of not quite two years. The membership has been largely increased, and all departments of the church are in a flourishing condition. Dr. Moss is an alumnus of the Virginia Union university and has been in the ministry for over twenty-one years. He is an eloquent preacher, safe leader and successful pastor. The Sunday school is graded into eight departments and has a membership of over 500. N. B. Dodson, the general superintendent, was elected in October, 1892. The teachers' training department is conducted by Mrs. R. P. Hamlin, general secretary. The receipts for the fiscal year outside of voluntary contributions for various purposes amounted to more than $800. HOWARD COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM CHANGES NAME. By a decision rendered by the supreme court the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, which recently moved from Brooklyn to Kings Park, will be known henceforth as the Howard Orphanage and Industrial Training School of Kings Park, N. Y. In its new surroundings the school is provided with opportunity for vast improvement. It is in need, however, of a school building, hospital and chapel, an administration building and a building and equipment for industrial trailing. To supplement the various trades taught the boys and girls it is proposed to install a cement block making plant, which will enable the institution to provide material for new cottages and other structures necessary to meet increasing demands for the housing of hundreds who seek admission. The amount required to carry on these improvements is $100,000. When they get half that amount, however, the authorities announce that they can erect the first stories of buildings and gradually complete the work. The institution has abundant acreage, a splendid outfit of farm buildings and farming appliances and a fine stock of horses and cattle. The water is pumped from a well 330 feet deep, and the cottages are homes of comfort. But, as stated, the schoolrooms, hospital and rooms for industrial training are simply make-shifts where the best results are impossible. The rooms are altogether too small to carry on the work of the institution. The institution is ably conducted by the Rev. James H. Gordon as superintendent, with a board of managers of which the well known Robert N. Whiting is chairman. The orphanage is supported in the main by voluntary contributions from the churches of both races in Greater New York. EVERYBODY'S DOING IT NOW. Buying at Pearce's, 407 Nicollet. REMOVAL SALE.

Smith, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, made short addresses on the military record of the Negro. Mrs. J. R. White of St. Paul, an active worker of the Ladies of the G. A. R., made a grand appeal tote ladies to perpetuate the Grand Army, and kept alive the memory of our departed heroes. Sergt' t. Harper is always an interesting speaker. His military bearing and striking personality identifies him with the "old line vets" who did well and are fast passing to "Fame's eternal camping ground." The reading of Current Events by Mr. Jasper Gibbs, Jr., was very instructive. The musical program consisted of a Piano Solo, "Spring Beautiful Spring," by Miss Adina Adams of St. Paul, who proved her musical ability. The special feature was the Violin Solo by Prof. David Johnson of St. Paul, accompanied by his father, Prof. Johnson. The Johnsons are accomplished musicians, and David is already recognized as a symphony artist by the music-masters. Mrs. E. E. Whitfield represented the National Training School at Washington, illustrated the different departments with protos, and stated that the Bible, Broom and Bath tub were essential to the home training of young women.

Mr. Green has met the situation nobly. We are informed that on account of ill health he was unable to resist the contending forces, and he sold out rather than fight against odds. We know that we should contend for our rights, but there are times when discretion is better than valor, especially in these parts where the Negro must fight single handed and alone.

READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. ADELDE MINBLE BILLIERS TWIN CITY STAR VERY WELCOME TO CITY SCRIBES Legislature Ir. Extra Session and All Gubernatorial Candidates Working Overtime. (Special Correspondence.) St. Paul, June 4.—The legislature is in session; Governor Eberhart, to use a sporting expression, has taken a slam at Lieutenant Governor S. Y. Gordon, one of his rivals, and the lieutenant governor has come back at him, so it might be said that the 1912 campaign has been fully launched. What the finish will be Providence alone can tell. I would not care to even make a guess. The whole thing is entirely too hazardous. Outside of the special session and the flurry attending the gathering of the lawmakers the most noticeable event of the week was Governor Eberhart's letter to "ye voters." To fall again into slang, it was his excellency with his back to the wall and the excuse was an answer to certain attacks on the governor's administration alleged to have been made by Lieutenant Governor Gordon. In brief Governor Eberhart's letter was to the effect that the failure to pass a statewide primary law, a reapportionment law and the demanded reform legislation at the last session might be properly charged up to Mr. Gordon because of his failure to co-operate with the administration. Governor Eberhart pointed out that he had recommended all these named reforms in his message to the legislature and that any failure could be properly charged to the Brown's Valley man. He inferred broadly that Mr. Gordon was actuated more by his own political ambitions than the interests of the state. All in all the statement was one hardly in keeping with the heretofore "soft pedal" methods of the administration and it made many sit up and take notice. The whole thing was like a voice from the dead and it was duly welcomed by the Twin City reporters, who are now praying for more. "That's the stuff," was the general expression. It was probably the most peppery document the governor has put out since he assumed command of the ship of state. Newspaper editors and publishers long ago reached the conclusion that calling the other fellow was only helping advertise his wares and this is the only criticism that I have regarding the governor's latest letter "to ye voters." Through his letter he has publicly acknowledged Lieutenant Governor Gordon as a rival worthy of notice. The fact that his message to the last legislature is rather vague on the question of a statewide primary—a Minneapolis paper of repute defies him to show that he ever advocated such—or that he failed to give reaportionment its proper backing—I know he did as his message has a ringing paragraph covering that subject—is neither here nor there. It is the dignifying of the other fellow. I am afraid the Browns Valley man has pulled him into a trap. Governor Eberhart is perhaps the most modest man in the gubernatorial chair of the states today. He has no use for a controversy, deplores criticism and his letter attacking Mr. Gordon is surprising because of this fact. Some unusual pressure must have been brought to bring it about. Pending today in many of the state departments are matters of public interest that the old Johnson "Kitchen Cabinet" would have worked into administration boosting material without delay, but not so the Mankato man. He is not given to sounding his own praises. There is no foundation for the story except rumor and it is to the effect that Charley Mitchell of the Duluth News Tribune may become identified with Governor Eberhart's pre-convention campaign. Whether in a publicity or a managerial way the rumor does not say. As the guiding spirit of the editorial page of his paper Mr. Mitchell has been saying some nice things about his excellency, with side stuff of the peppery kind for the governor's traducers. Mr. Mitchell has figured in more than one state campaign and his work was always effective. There is nothing to show as yet whether the special session of the legislature now on will be productive of a statewide primary law, a reaportionment act or any of the other reform measures proposed by the governor, but if there is any failure it will not be because of any lack of desire on the part of the members of the two houses. When the two bodies convened there was a general disposition to get down to work without delay and unless other threatenad legislation intervenes such will prevail to the close of the session. It cannot be said that the members are pleased over being called together. It means a loss of money to many of them and they resent it bitterly. Minnesota has one source of income which may in time exceed the revenue + + + * * * + + + now received in the shape of railroad gross earnings taxes and that is the law taxing estates. In five years the Minnesota inheritance tax law has added over $2,000,000 to the state's strong box. This year alone the amount collected will not be far short of $750,000. Attorney General L. A. Smith, who is in charge of the enforcement of the law, says he expects to see the collections reach $1,000,000 a year. The other day he forced one wealthy New York estate, holding Minnesota property, to hand over $50,000 and sums of $3,000 and $5,000 from titled deceased Europeans are almost of daily occurrence. Most of them are holders of Great Northern stocks. Twin City political circles were somewhat startled last week by the sudden descent of State Chairman Ed Smith and a quartette of his followers upon the headquarters of Lieutenant Governor S. Y. Gordon in the Merchants hotel. The visit was following a dinner held at a local restaurant immediately after the holding of the special meeting of the central committee and Ed, who was greeted by the surprised lieutenant governor, announced that the call was simply one of respect. "We dared your manager, Mr. Arenson, to invite us to visit you," said the chairman, "and we called our bluff." Mr. Smith assured Mr. Gordon that he was for Governor Eberhart first, last and all the time, but that his preference did not prevent him from respecting the opposition. The call for the state nominating convention was rescinded at a meeting of the Republican state central committee last week. Efforts were made to rescind it conditional on the passage of the proposed statewide primary by the legislature, but the members refused to sanction the scheme. Rather reluctantly the passage of a statewide primary act was endorsed, but beyond that the few members refused to go. The discussion was on the question whether the law to be passed should be a more extension of the present law or one based on a first and second choice. Senators Sullivan and Stephans, who were present, thought this was going too far and they successfully headed off any action other than that taken. A first and second choice and even a third choice provision in the primary law now under consideration is due to be fought out with vigor by the members of the legislature and there is no telling what will be the outcome, but the general feeling is that something along this line will be incorporated. Those candidates now outside the pale of the administration are demanding it and are starting a campaign for its adoption. Governor Eberhart and his followers are credited with opposing this first and second choice feature, but State Insurance Commissioner Preus, who is as close as anyone to his excellency, says this is not so. He holds that Governor Eberhart would be benefited and bases his belief on talks with officials in other states where such a law is in force. He holds that the man in office has the best of it under a first and second choice provision. With Governor Wilson the beneficiary of the coming Democratic delegate convention it looks as if Frank A. Day, he of king making fame, had come back into his own and there are those who say he will again be on the job this fall. Another winner was F. B. Lynch, national Democratic committeeman from Minnesota. Mr. Lynch's scalp was sought by R. T. O'Connor and D. W. Lawler of St. Paul and he distanced them without effort. His only comment at the close was that the contest might have been closer had any other men than D. W. Lawler and former Labor Commissioner W. W. Williams of Minneapolis been in charge. The intimation was that the public did not have any confidence in the two. The only district carried by the Clark forces was the Fouth and there Mr. O'Connor was on the job. A miscarriage of the convention's instructions would be without precedent, but it does look as if I. A. Caswell, manager of the Roosevelt campaign in Minnesota, would have to fight for the honor conferred upon him—Republican national committeeman. The action of the convention is only a recommendation, which has to be ratified by the delegation when it meets at Chicago, and from all accounts that ratification will not be permitted if a few now after his scalp can prevent it. Andy Rahn, who managed the Hennepin in said to be opposed to Mr. Caswell and is openly fighting him. It is hardly likely that the delegation will disregard the wishes of the convention in the matter of the Anoka man's appointment, but Mr. Caswell is not going to take any chances. He has redonned his fighting clothes and is after the opposition with a vengeance. Alvah Eastman, the St. Cloud editor, who followed the announcement of Congressman Lindbergh's candidacy for United States senator with one of his own saying that he would try for Mr. Lindbergh's job, is not going to have a clear field. Opposition has developed in the person of Charles March of Litchfield, a relative of Peter Hanson, former secretary of state. Another relative is Ripley Brower of St. Cloud. Mr. March has announced his candidacy for the place and he is expected to give Mr. Eastman a run for his money.

The Negro is due some political representation as a matter of right, not as a matter of favor. Numerically we are strong enough to demand this. If we get together. The Negroes of Hennepin Co., should interest themselves in the State tickets. UNLIMITED LAWLE88NESS. The sentiment of the American public knows no bounds. They chose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. — The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicler of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twin City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it? Reliable, live, honest, hustling agents for the Twin City Star. You can make a good living with this work as a side line.

Artists and musicians who have won fame in their profession are constantly giving encouragement to colored men and women who are striving to make themselves proficient with the paint brush and the musical instrument. Speaking of the possibilities of the Afro-American in music, Mr. Walter Damrosch recently paid the race this compliment: But if proof positive of a soul in the Negro people should be demanded it can be given, for they have brought over from Africa and developed in this country, even under all the unfavorable conditions of slavery, a music so wonderful, so beautiful and yet so strange that, like the gypsy music of Hungary, it is at once the admiration and despair of educated musicians of our race. Unique and imitable, it is the only music of this country, except that of the Indians, which can claim to be folk music. In it the Negroes pour out their joy and their sorrows in naive but wonderful moving fashion. Therefore, in the face of such testimony of emotional and aesthetical beauty, who dare deny their wider future possibilities in the great work of liberation of mind and soul which is now going on? A SUGGESTION. In view of the fact that the National Negro Educational Congress which meets in July, will bring among us another element of representative Negroes, we hope that some definite arrangements will be made for their entertainment. The people of Minneapolis have profited by a recent experience. The Forum should take the initiative and request that the various churches, clubs, and fraternities send their delegates to the Congress, and also invite them to unite with the Forum in a Civic Committee to represent this city. Let us do things decently and in order. Each one will be accorded his social standing. Get the best results by unity of effort—and regardless of the former status of the Congress, it will be a success, if you desire to make it. W. H. H. EX-PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Ohio was the Gettysburg of the Taft campaign—and Chicago will be its Appomattox, where Roosevelt will demand "unconditional surrender." Shall the Negro be emancipated from political bondage, and be given his constitutional rights throughout the Southland? Not while the Doctrine of States Rights overrides the Constitution of the United States. The Negro Independent Club is the first Negro in the State of Minnesotac the candidacy of Roose RECORD OF THE PARTY. Colored Americans THE . SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN SCANDAL The president is like the high-minded president of a public service corporation who wants his general manager or counsel to get results in council and legislature, but is unwilling to hear anything about the necessary means. We do not hear of any refusal of the president to permit Southern delegates to the Republican national convention to vote for him, but he is taking great pains to pass on the other side of all unpleasant details involved in arranging for this support of his candidacy. The Republican party in the South is a permanent scandal. It has no following, since its Negroes have been disfranchised and its whites ostracised, and only leaders enough to fill the federal and organization offices. Extracts from Minneapolis Tribune. It's a year old, but true. RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS. Pres. Taft recently said that "the Colored Race has high ideals." That's just why they are supporting Roosevelt in whom they realize a champion of right, not an apologist like Pres. Taft, who has sustained the Dred Scott decision by refusing to appoint Negroes to offices wherever it was objectionable to white men, and who by the appointment of Southern Confederates to the Supreme Bench has denied the Negroes their Constitutional Rights. Roosevelt never closed the door of hope in the face of the Negro. CONVENTIONS MUST GO. THE primary elections and the conventions will not work together. All conventions will soon be political history. There is no use reaching the masses by popular vote and throttling their opinions by "slate and gag rule." The people of this country will not be benefitted until all elective officers shall be named at the polls and not by picked committees at the conventions. The simple plan must then prevail—"that they should take who have the power and they should keep who can." We wish to state that announcements of candidates are not endorsements—just political advertisements for candidates and news for our readers. Candidates may come and go, but the sure winner the drink-smoke-dollar-bill-vags will outlive them all. Sorry to say some Negroes are so classed. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE. TWIR CITY STAR DOORE ROOSEVELT. The Negro Independent Progressive Club is the first Negro organization in the State of Minnesota to endorse the candidacy of Roosevelt. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.—The Bee, Wash. D. C. The Editor of the Bee, W. Calvin Chase is a delegate to the Republican Convention. The record remains the same. What are you going to do about it? Many of our exchanges refer to Taft and Roosevelt as "the two evils." We know that both have done many good things for the Negro. However, we reserve that phraseology for our Democratic Presidential Possibilities.
