Chicago, June 20.—After bolting once from the credentials committee under orders of Colonel Roosevelt, and being called back by Roosevelt managers to the room committee, all of the Roosevelt members of the credentials committee except R. R. McCormick of Chicago, left again, declaring they were "out for good." The cause of the bolt was the refusal of the committee to give a full hearing on all contest cases. After the Roosevelt men had left the committee took up the cases, but had not proceeded far when a motion to adjourn was proposed and carried. Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt campaign manager who had been hurriedly summoned after the first bolt, left with the Roosevelt men. Francis J. Heney and Hugh T. Halbert of Minnesota led the bolt. Before adjourning the committee adopted the amended rules by a vote of 36 to 4. ROOT BECOMES DARK HORSE Temporary Chairman Speech Was the Effort of His Life. Chicago, June 20.—An interesting development was the "dark horse" talk for Eilihu Root among the conservatives. Root's speech as temporary chairman was the effort of his life and those who are close to him are saying that, while he is loyal to Taft, he realizes the latter's nomination is at least a difficult proposition and when he made his speech he was inspired by the thought that his own nomination might be won by it. HAVING TIME OF HIS LIFE Bryan Enjoying Himself at Republican Convention. Chicago, June 20.—Colonel William Jennings Bryan, who is attending the Republican national convention in the role of a reporter, was called upon by a company of Southern people as he sat in the cafe after dinner. As they gathered about him he rose and said: "I'm having the time of my life. It is great fun being in Chicago and watching the doings of the Republican party. I am not here to be seen or to be heard, but to see and hear." ANOTHER STORM BREWING Attempt to Reduce Representation From Southern States. Chicago, June 20.—With the submission of a minority report signed by eleven members of the rules committee the question of reducing Southern representation in Republican national conventions will be put squarely up to the convention. The announcement was made by W. H. Coleman, the member from Pennsylvania, whose resolution providing for such reduction had been tabled by the committee. Next International Conference In 1915. At the closing session of the international conference on the Negro recently held at the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute it was decided to hold the next conference at the institute in 1915. 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. An independent Race Organization. Among younger organizations for civic betterment in Detroit, Mich., is the Afro-American alliance. The object of the organization as indicated above is to do uplift work among our people by encouraging them in business and professional life. It is independent and not bound by any political ties. It believes in a square deal for every American citizen and is against discrimination on account of race or color. Popular Teacher to Wed Minister.

Holmes, pastor of Metropolitan M. E. church, Baltimore. Rev. Mr. Carter is a member of the Washington M. E. conference. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. NEW FACES SEEN IN CONVENTION Conspicuous Absence of Many of the Old-Timers. Appearance of Governor Johnne and Francis J. Honey Marks a New Era In the Politics of California—Senator Murray Crane As "Old Scout"— Ex-Congressman Tawney a Proxy. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Chicago, June 21.—[Special.] — One of the most remarkable things about the Republican convention were the many new faces to be seen. For years the same men have been coming to the national conventions and so far as the southern states are concerned about the same crowd came to the convention of 1912. But in the northern states the change was very great. There was a complete absence of many of the old time men and managers on the floor, although they have been in evidence in the preliminaries. The indications are that new men have taken hold of the party and intend to conduct its affairs in the future. No doubt the Roosevelt sweep in a number of states where old line Republicans were defeated has much to do with the changed complexion of the convention. It is certainly a transition period in politics. Old and New. The appearance of Governor Johnson and Francis J. Heney marks a new era in politics of California, although Governor Pardee has been seen here before. A woman in the delegation was also an innovation. Governor Deneen has been in national conventions from Illinois, but L. Y. Sherman, who is the nominee to succeed Senator Cullom, is a recent acquisition. Senator Fairbanks, Harry New and Jim Watson of Indiana are familiar figures, but the remainder of the delegation are new men. George D. Perkins of Iowa is an old timer, and about the only one from that state. None of the Kansas delegation belonged to those who were regular convention attendants. Senator Bradley has been coming from Kentucky as long as any one can remember, and the same is true in regard to Chancey Depew of New York. Governor Hadley is a new man from Missouri, but Walter Dickey has been to several conventions. Lookers-On Familiar. Thousand of old convention attendents in years past made their appearance in Chicago this week even if they were not delegates. They came to see the big show. They can't keep away from national conventions and even if they have no more to do than sit around the hotel lobbies and give advice which is not taken they come just the same. It is always in order to have present a few men who attended the first convention which nominated John C. Fremont back in 1856 given a prominent place in the convention, but they are not many of such veterans who can attend a gathering in 1912. "An Old Scout." Senator Murray Crane, during the long drawn out sessions of the national committee, obtained the name of "old scout," because he was ever watchful and kept on guard at all times. One day when something was coming up and several Taft members were absent Crane went into the lunch room and whispered to all the lawyers: "There is an important legal point involved in the question now up and I would like you to be there." That suggestion always brought them into the committee room. No matter how early the committee met or how late it remained in session Crane was on hand. The delegate who came to Chicago with one suit good for winter or summer was the man who won out. The sudden climatic changes in this city on Lake Michigan make is impossible to dress for the weather. On some days it is so warm that the northern man mops his brow all day, and the next morning the breeze from the lake whisks through the thin clothes of the southerner and makes him shiver. Straw hats and overcoats are a frequent combination during convention times in Chicago. Jim Tawney Has the Nerve. Former Congressman James A. Tawney held the proxy of different members of the national committee at different times during the preliminary contest. Generally they were of men who did not have quite so much nerve as Tawney and would have occasionally voted for the Roosevelt men. Tawney had his nerve with him all the time. He was willing to vote out every Roosevelt man who was contested, even going to the extent of throwing out California because the delegates were elected at large instead of by districts. Tawney and Roosevelt are implacable enemies. CAPABLE BUSINESS MAN. Estimate of Harry H. Pace as Leader In Many Movements. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Memphis, Tenn.-Strength of character, intelligence and the power to bring results for the conservation of the race's cardinal interest should be the great requisites of men who manage the affairs of racial fraternal and commercial movements. When an organization has as its head a conservative, energetic, experienced and Christian leader it should give such leadership its undivided support. It is only by such union and hearty co-operation that the race can ultimately triumph over obstacles which arise to impede its forward movement for the good of humanity irrespective of from what source they may come. Harry H. Pace of this city is a concrete example of the kind of character whose most excellent qualities have been catalogued in the above paragraphs. The position of the Afro-American Elks in this country is obvious to any casual observer, and its peculiar exigencies in quite a degree are known to have been caused by unfortunate controversies in the ranks. All of these things created an urgent need for a leader like Mr. Pace, who has become the seer of the fraternity and has given it a new lease on a beneficial existence. The activities of Mr. Pace as grand exalted ruler are to be considered as a helpful leaven in the life of thousands of Afro-Americans. The character of a leader is very often a sure index of the desires of those whom he leads. Mr. Pace is a man of sterling worth. His work for the church is not abridged by his affiliations with other movements. He is secretary of the vestry in Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal church and directs the talented choir. He is a recognized factor in Masonic circles. Mr. Pace is cashier of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust company and is at the head of a large estate, which employs a great number of men. He is also secretary of the Republican county committee. HOWARD'S NEXT PRESIDENT. Many Men of Prominence Mentored For Coveted Position. The selection of a new president for Howard university in Washington will not be an easy matter. There is no dearth of candidates, but to discover from the array of material the man of intellectual breadth, moral strength, winning personality, constructive genius and executive ability, such as Dr. Thirkleid is and what his successor must be, will tax the wisdom of the board of trustees, to which body this duty will fall. It is evident that there will be no undue haste in filling the vacancy, and the fitness of every candidate will be fully tested before a choice is decided upon. Since the financial future of the university is practically secure because of the federal appropriations that will come year after year the argument that a white man must head the school in order to influence congressional favor becomes less forceful. There is a general feeling that the time is ripe for the election of a competent colored man for a school that is essentially a Negro institution, though not officially styled as such. Many of the white members of the board and of congress have expressed themselves in sympathy with this idea and will lend their support to the right colored man brought forward for the position. Friends of the school are raking the country with a fine tooth comb in their effort to pick out a Negro educator who is likely to fill the bill. Some of those mentioned in this connection are Kelly Miller, George W. Cook, Lewis B. Moore, W. V. Tunnell and E. L. Parks, all deans of departments or members of the present faculty of the university; Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of the Washington schools; Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court; W. E. B. DuBois, H. T. Kealing and others of equal prominence. Minister Is Sent to Bermuda. Minister is sent to Bermuda. Among the changes made by the A. M. E. general conference, just closed at Kansas City, are the following: The Rev. T. A. Smythe, for more than two years pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church in Indianapolis, has been appointed as an assistant to Bishop W. B. Derrick, who has charge of the West Indies, Canada, Nova Scotia and the Bermuda islands. The Rev. Mr. Smythe has been assigned to the charge of the twelve A. M. E. churches in the Bermuda islands. He was also elected to represent his district on the general missionary board, which meets annually in New York. The Rev. and Mrs. Smythe will sail for the Bermudas July 1. His headquarters will be at Hamilton. The Rev. Mr. Smythe's successor at Bethel church has not been selected. Bishop B. F. Lee will be in charge of the work of this episcopal district. He was also elected one of the general conference secretaries. Subscribe to the Star. Missourian Given Big Ovation on the Floor of the Convention. COLONEL'S ONLY COMMENT No Demonstration Too High a Tribute to Hadley. Chicago, June 20.—Colonel Roosevelt's only comment in regard to Governor Hadley was made when he heard of the demonstration for the governor at the convention. "I'm delighted," said he. "No demonstration could be too high a tribute to give Hadley." The Hadley boom, which crystallized in the demonstration in the convention, was said by supporters of Colonel Roosevelt to have been launched by those of his opponents who desire to defeat him at all costs and are willing to desert President Taft if necessary to accomplish this end. COLONEL SAYS HE'S THROUGH Urges His Followers to Organize as the Majority. Chicago, June 20.—"So far as I am concerned," declared Colonel Roosevelt to his delegates and advisers in an address, "I am through. If you are voted down I hope you, the real and lawful majority of the convention, will organize as such and you will do it if you have the courage and loyalty of your convictions. Friend of Great Men Dies. Jackson Gordon, the sixty-two-year messenger in the office of the board of assessors, who is said to have known more "great men" than any other Negro in Chicago, died recently. He lived at 3435 South Wabash avenue and had held his position fourteen years. Among the acquaintances he claimed were James G. Blaine, Presidents Garfield, Hayes and Harrison and the late Carter Harrison. He at one time worked for Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. He became acquainted with many notabilities as messenger or usher for large conventions. Color Prejudice and Politicians. This race question bobs up at the most unseemly times, and especially when folks are running for office says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. It is an awful thing to be continually explaining why one did this or that. But as long as men will set their prejudices stand in their way such things will continue to happen, and this has reference to Jew, Negro and gentile. RECEPTION TO FRATERNAL DELGATE. Grand Master Edward H. Morris Fraternal Delegate to the A. M. C. of the Manchester Union G. U. O. of O. F., was tendered a reception at Cardiff, Wales.

The plan of representation is to be one committeeman at large from every State with a conference to be elected by every club. Smoke the Reliable 5e SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5e YOUNG WOMAN OF RARE TALENT Concert and Stage Work of Miss Minnie Brown. Brief Account of the Notable Career of a Western Girl Who Has Won a National Reputation as a Vocalist—Instructor In the Musical Settlement School. New York.—One of the most accomplished and highly gifted singers of the race, who has made a national reputation in the art, is Miss Minnie Brown, the leading soprana soloist at St. Mark's M. E. church, in this city. Miss Brown has a remarkably clear and sweet voice of wonderful range and under perfect control. So wonderful is the sweetness and charm of her voice that she has earned the sobriquet of the human mocking bird. Miss Brown has had a notable musical career. She has toured the country in concert work. For six years she was a member of the Williams & Walker company and for one year THE WOMAN was a member of the "Load of Koal" company, which was the first company put on the road by Bert Williams. During her long career in concert work and on the stage she made a national reputation as one of the most thoroughly accomplished singers of the race. Miss Brown halls from the west and was born in Spokane, Wash. Her parents were pioneers of the west and represented the sturdy type of western settlers of years ago. At an early age she showed a leaning toward a musical career, and her parents encouraged every effort in that direction. She graduated from the Spokane high school. After graduation she took up the study of voice culture under Mrs. Ethel Child Waltron. Miss Brown attributes a great deal of her success in her musical career to the interest of her teacher. She began her career as a concert singer in her native home. Her tour through British Columbia and adjoining cities was very successful and opened up the way for the larger possibilities which awaited her. On coming east she joined the Williams & Walker company. For six years she remained with the company and won a place among the foremost of the talented aggregation. It was while with Williams & Walker that Miss Brown won her national reputation in featuring the song the "Red Rose," then the most popular ballad of the day, which she sang with decided success. Miss Brown will be remembered all over the country by the large number of patrons of this famous company. Her tour with "Load of Koal" ended her stage career. Since taking up her residence in New York Miss Brown has been a force in the musical life of the city. She is one of the teachers in the Musical School Settlement for colored children in New York. She stands high in the musical circles of the country and in New York is constantly in demand as a singer. Miss Brown is a young woman of remarkable strength of character and is a splendid example to the young women of the race. With all of her culture and charm of personality Miss Brown remains the same modest and unassuming young woman which she was before winning her laurels in the musical world. She is ever ready to assist in any good movement for the advancement of the race. She has a large circle of friends in the religious, social and educational life of the city. No. 44. STUDENT RULE AT TUSKEGEE Dignity of Labor and Military Discipline Prevail. THE GREAT AIM OF THE SCHOOL Inside View of the Government of the Student Body of an Institution in Which Work Is Never Prescribed as a Punishment For Disobedience. How the System Works. The series of articles by Arthur M. Evans on the work of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute which appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald last spring were highly instructive. To persons who are interested in helping the school in a financial way the success of the institution is indeed gratifying. Industry, as every one knows, is the spirit of Tuskegee, and military discipline is its system of government. From the moment the rising whistle blows at 5 o'clock until the "lights go out" at night every moment of the time is occupied. Work is in the atmosphere; industry is made a habit—the great aim of the school. At Tuskegee refractory students are punished, not by setting them at extra tasks, but by giving them no work to do. The great idea of the institute is to drill into the students the principle that labor is a privilege; hence work is never prescribed as a punishment, for that would be an inconsistency. Enforced idleness proves penalty enough, and after less than a day of lounging, a misfit in a busy community, a drone among the workers, the disobedient student generally goes to the commandant and begs to be put to work like the rest of his comrades. The discipline is admirable. Ever since the opening of the school the students have been on a military system of some sort. The first day the student body assembled thirty years ago it marched to chapel, and it has been doing so ever since. It is a sight never to be forgotten to see 1,700 students march into the great dining hall at noon, said to be the largest dining room in the country, and stand at attention until grace is sung. Then the silence is broken, chairs are pulled out, and conversation starts up with such a roar that the band is kept playing in the balcony to drown the noise. There is nothing bolsterous, but 1,700 voices engaged in simultaneous talk make rather a cataract of sound. Visitors rarely fail to comment upon the table manners of the students. At Tuskegee table manners are as much a part of the curriculum as is work in the shops or recitations in the classrooms. The man at the head of the table does the serving, assisted by a student on each side. The students are served, and the rule of the school is that each shall eat everything that is placed upon his plate without passing remarks upon the cooking, if, indeed, such remarks could be made. The food comes fresh from the institute farm, raised by the students, cooked by the students, served by the students and eaten by the students, and the variety of edibles placed on the table serves as another object lesson of the benefits derived from skillful labor on the soil. The student who goes out from Tuskegee is so accustomed to an excellent table that, if a farmer, he at once prepares to raise all the vegetables in their season, his farm becomes an object lesson for the surrounding community and gradually leads to a higher standard of living. Bishop Coppin Dedicates New Church. The handsome new Ebenezer A. M. E. church, located on Bethel street Hagerstown, Md., was recently dedicated with imposing services. The dedication sermon was preached by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia. The church is one of the handsomest in western Maryland, and its completion is a credit to the efforts of its pastor, Rev. David Johnson. The Rev. Mr. Johnson is one of the most energetic of the younger ministers of the Baltimore conference. Through his efforts the conference will hold its next annual session in the above named church in Hagerstown. Olga Household's Annual Reception. Among the many interesting secret society events in Brooklyn the first week in June was the fourth annual reception of Olga Household of Ruth. No. 2234, held in Sumner hall.

The women of the race in Minneapolis are always ready to make good, but the men as a unit are undependable. 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. The Assembly Hall in the Court House is the proper place to hold our large civic gatherings. This should be considered by our entertainment committees. It has been proposed that the delegates attending the Congress be received at two churches. This is unfair to the other churches and will result in Factionism—and confusion. Get the Assembly Hall and avoid the usual aftermath. The Negro taxpayers allow you that right. it is your privilege to enjoy it. EVERYBODY'S DOING IT NOW. Buying at Pearce's, 407 Nicollet.

The men of the Twin Cities should attend the meetings of the Club Women in St. Paul on une 27th and 28th. The presence of the men will greatly encourage the women. Heretofore the attendance of the men has been very small. They are cordially invited to attend and admission is free. There will be 3 sessions daily at Pilgrim Baptist Church and one of the most interesting programs has been arranged. Mesdames Alice Johnson, Mary Black, Martha Burton, Aurora Thomas, Eva Calhoun and Mrs. Belle Black. Pres. Zenith City Art Club will attend the Federation meeting in St. Paul. Mrs. Addie C. Minor has promised to arrange a musical program for the coming Congress. She asked the support of the musical talent of St. Paul and received very little encouragement, and has offered to sing at every performance, if she has to do so. We know that Mrs. Minor is equal to the task, but feel that she will get the support of the musical talent of which the people of St. Paul are so proud.

FORCES ARE WHIPPED Chicago, June 20.—At Taft headquarters a general atmosphere of satisfaction and relief greeted the swarms of delegates who crowded the anterooms. Director McKinley and his staff presented an it's all over but the shouting attitude and confidently asserted that the vote of 564 to 510 against the Roosevelt forces in the convention showed conclusively that Taft will be renominated. They claimed that Roosevelt would lose on the nomination roll call forty-six of the 510 votes he had. They claimed that Wisconsin's twenty-six votes, North Dakota's ten and the ten Cummins votes from Iowa would desert the Roosevelt column on any decisive vote. From this they argued that the real Roosevelt strength in the convention was at the most 464 votes. "President Taft's renomination is a certainty," said Director McKinley, "Each succeeding roll call from now on will show steady losses from the Roosevelt column and gains for Taft." A statement was issued by McKinley in which he said: "President Taft will be renominated by the national Republican convention now in session in Chicago. Theodore Roosevelt has been eliminated as a candidate before the convention. Two test votes have demonstrated that he cannot be nominated. The delegates have repudiated his third term pretentions. His managers have resorted to every known method of political strategy, but without success. "They have attempted combinations with other candidates, they have adroitly presented unfair and revolutionary plans of procedure under the pretense of honesty, and they have endeavored by every means to make Taft delegates break their solemn pledge and instructions. In the face of these desperate efforts the Taft column has steadily grown. Now Seeking Another Leader. "The Roosevelt followers, knowing that their candidate can never get enough votes to give him a majority of the convention, are now seeking in hopeless and discouraged fashion for another leader. Their search will be in vain. President Taft's demonstrated majority in the convention represents delegates who have come to Chicago determined to renominate him and they will not be swerved from that purpose. "They have shown their loyalty and devotion to the president upon two test votes and their solidity was not in the least affected by a deliberate but futile attempt to stampede the convention through a carefully planned demonstration. "Roosevelt not only lost in votes, but his delegates indulged in forty minutes of continuous cheering for Governor Hadley of Missouri, one of his campaign managers, showing a decided tendency to desert the Roosevelt standard. "Roosevelt's repeated threat to bolt has not materialized and statements are made by many of his leaders that, should a bolt be attempted, it will not be generally participated in. "The solidarity of President Taft's lines and the wavering Roosevelt forces tell their own story of victory for the president and the bursting of the 'Roosevelt bubble.'" The Taft leaders, while outwardly ridiculing talk of a Roosevelt bolt, privately admitted that the colonel, when it becomes apparent, as they say it will, that the credentials committee will not interfere materially with the Taft delegates selected by the national committee, will undoubtedly order his followers out of the convention. But the Taft leaders declare that the real leaders of the Roosevelt movement will under no circumstances go to the extent of holding a rump convention to give Roosevelt an independent nomination. A general congratulations meeting was held in the Taft public reception room and the leaders dropped in from their labors on the various convention committees to felicitate each other. Planning Boom for Hadley. Chicago, June 20.—The Missouri delegation held a caucus for the purpose, it was reported, of formally launching a boom for Governor Hadley for president. The remarkable demonstration given the Missouri executive in the convention, together with the sudden turn in affairs, was said to have strengthened their belief that the time was ripe for bringing forward a compromise candidate. Alone Under the Tree With a Green Froggie. A sad little girl sit under a tree. "I'm so lonely, so lonely, so lonely" sigh. "Oh, why won't somebody play with me!" But no one came but a green froggie. "Doncher grump, doncher grump, doncher grump!" said he. The sad little girl sat under the tree. "But what shall I do to be gay?" sighed she. "I wish somebody would please tell me!" And no one did—but a bumblebee. "Be bizzee, be bizzee, be bizzee!" said he. Farmer Game. For this game all pretend to be farmers. The players are divided into two equal sides. One of the sides goes off at a distance to determine upon what fruit or vegetable to bring to town and how to show the manner in which it was raised. Then the acting side marches in a line to the guessing side, which says "Who are you?" The acting side announces "Farmers." "What do you sell?" "Products from our farm." "How did you raise them?" "This way." And the acting side goes through some motion agreed upon which shows how the potatoes were dug or put into bags. If corn is chosen the planting may be shown, or the cutting, the shocking or the husking. When fruits are chosen the players may pretend to be planting, pruning, picking or packing. As soon as the guessing side guesses the product the acting side runs, for the players on the other side try to capture as many actors as possible. If the product is not guessed, but is given up, the acting side chooses another product and has another turn at acting. The object of the game is not only to guess the product, but to capture farmers. The first side capturing half of the farmers of the other side wins the game. If the game starts out with eight players on each side, the side which grows to have twelve players which wins the game. Stung on the Tongue. Ever get stung by a bee? It is not pleasant. If there are plenty of bees they sting you in the most convenient place, but if there is only one you are pretty sure to get it on the nose, quite as if the bee understands that it could not do much worse for you. One bee that lived down south in Indiana went a little further than that. The man that it was having a difference of opinion with had his mouth open, and it stung him on the tongue. It is bad enough to be stung on the nose, but there is all outdoors for the nose to swell into. The tongue has not so much room, and the man was nearly suffocated before the swelling went down. You see, the real cure for a bee sting is a poulice of mud, but the man said that he did not like the taste of mud, and so his tongue had to stay swollen for a while.-Chicago News. Conundrums.

Here is a little cradle song the italian mother sings when bedtime comes and the little ones are sleepy: A long one and a short one! Do you wish me to tell you a long one? This is the finger, and this is the nail. Do you wish me to tell you a short one? This is the finger, and this is the end of it. Then the mother pulls the baby's nose. Japanese Tag. This makes an amusing variation on the old game of tag. When a player is tagged he must place his left hand on the spot tagged and keep it there until he has caught some other victim. The game works out in this way: The one who is "it" endevours to tag a runner on the knee or foot, so that his efforts to tag any one with his hand on this part of the body will be awkward and amusing.

It will require the united efforts of all who are interested in the success of Templarism to make this a day long to be remembered among our number. Yours fraternally, Howard W. Pinn Gavhead St., Boston, Mass. POLITICAL INACTIVITY. Prof. Kelly Miller in the "Political Capacity of the Negro," says that elimination of the Negro from office means his elimination from politics. The Negro should have a voice in the affairs governmental, both local and national, in proportion to the support he gives that government. 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 LAWLESSNESS 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 fancles. — 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? WESTERN UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL 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. WHERE TO TRADE.

June 15.—A letter written by Charles Banks, one of the Negro Taft delegates-at-large from Mississippi, to Director McKinley of the Taft headquarters, announcing that he would support Roosevelt and was returning "the money placed in my hands at your suggestion to defray traveling expenses of some of the delegates from Mississippi," was given out Friday night by Senator Dixon of the Roosevelt campaign, and created a sensation. Mr. Banks is worth $100,000 and is one of the wealthy citizens of Mound Bayon, Miss. The items from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE. A. H. Roosevelt said "that he would read out of the Republican party any man who corrupted the principles of the party." 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. READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS. THE TRUTH. There is today a tendency among colored people and among their earnest friends to tell the half-truth concerning the situation of the colored people and to condemn those who seek to tell the whole truth. But where is the harm? many think. If we tell the good things, will not the good things multiply and the hateful things die? No. It is a dangerous thing to dally with the truth. Some of the greatest catastrophes in history have come because the mass of men have been deceived and misled as to the truth of conditions by timid, well-meaning persons, who, knowing the awful facts, suppressed them systematically and spread the sweet and gentle lite. There are friends of black folk in this land. There is continual advance in human sympathy. There is an awakening in the white South on the race problem. All that is true. It is also true that the Negro American today faces the crisis of his career; race prejudice is rampant and is successfully overcoming humanitarianism in many lines, and the determination of the dominant South to beat the black man to his knees, to make him a docile ignorant beast of burden, was never stronger than today. This is the truth. Let us tell the truth, unpleasant though it be, and through the truth seek freedom. There is no other way.—The Crisis. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS. Last December at Natchez, Miss, an old Negro hack driver was brutally murdered by a young white boy. The boy was arrested and indicted, and in the recent trial he was convicted and sentenced to serve the rest of his life in the penitentiary. When the sentence was pronounced, the judge remarked that law-abiding citizens in this country should receive protection from the courts. TWIN CITY STAR ODORE ROOSEVELT. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disf-anchised 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? 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. PRINTING FIRST-CLASS WORK MODERATE PRICES BRING YOUR JOB WORK TO THE TWIN CITY STAR 1402 Washington Ave. So. MINNEPOLIS.

The new magazine, The Private Car Stewart's Monthly has reached our office, and we wish it all success and hope it may fulfill its mission. A committee of citizens met at old Capital last Monday night to make tentative arrangements for the entertainment of the delegates attending the Negro National Educational Congress. The Finance Committee of the Educational Congress has not received any funds from the city or state to entertain the delegates. Editor J. Q. Adams of the Appeal is making arrangements for the Grand Reception at the Auditorium, and Mr. Adams says that "the Congress will be a success." Everyone knows that Editor Adams' management of any social affair means success. NEGRO DELEGATES PRAISED. "The Southern Negro delegates, instructed for Taft, are carrying out their instructions with courage and fidelity, notwithstanding the temptations offered them in the way of money, patronage and political preferment. They have shown a laudable regard for loyalty to party pledges. NEGRO SENDS CASH BACK TO M'KINLEY. Mississippi Delegate Writes He Will Support Colonel. Chicago, June 15.—A letter written by Charles Banks, one of the Negro Taft delegates-at-large from Mississippi, to Director McKinley of the Taft headquarters, announcing that he would support Roosevelt and was returning "the money placed in my hands at your suggestion to defray traveling expenses of some of the delegates from Mississippi," was given out Friday night by Senator Dixon of the Roosevelt campaign, and created a sensation. Mr. Banks is worth $100,000 and is one of the wealthy citizens of Mound Bayon, Miss. The items from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE. by American Press Association Roosevelt said "that he would read out of the Republican party any man who corrupted the principles of the party." 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. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. THE TRUTH There is today a tendency among colored people and among their earnest friends to tell the half-truth concerning the situation of the colored people and to condemn those who seek to tell the whole truth. But where is the harm? many think. If we tell the good things, will not the good things multiply and the hateful things die? No. It is a dangerous thing to dally with the truth. Some of the greatest catastrophes in history have come because the mass of men have been deceived and misled as to the truth of conditions by timid, well-meaning persons, who, knowing the awful facts, suppressed them systematically and spread the sweet and gentle lie. There are friends of black folk in this land. There is continual advance in human sympathy. There is an awakening in the white South on the race problem. All that is true. It is also true that the Negro American today faces the crisis of his career; race prejudice is rampant and is successfully overcoming humanitarianism in many lines, and the determination of the dominant South to beat the black man to his knees, to make him a docile ignorant beast of burden, was never stronger than this. This is the truth. Let us tell the truth, unpleasant though it be, and through the truth seek freedom. There is no other way—The Crisis. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS. Last December at Natchez, Miss., an old Negro hack driver was brutally murdered by a young white boy. The boy was arrested and indicted, and in the recent trial he was convicted and sentenced to serve the rest of his life in the penitentiary. When the sentence was pronounced, the judge remarked that law-abiding citizens in this country should receive protection from the courts. TWIN CITY STAR ODORE 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.
