MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL HISTORICAL SOCIETY. VOL. 2 Single Copies 5 Cents roosevelt is not the point of present comment. The focus of present interest is President Taft's aversion toward any questioning of the sanctity of judicial decisions. "But when the food committee of the National Consumers' league addressed to President Taft an appeal for the 'recall' of Dr. Wiley's resignation and cited certain facts decidedly pertinent to President Taft's horrified denunciations of 'nostrum makers' and 'subverters of the constitution,' who 'lay the ax to the root of the tree of liberty,' who dare question the infallibility of any judicial construction of any law? "For the Consumers' league makes clear in taking up the Taft decision in favor of the makers of imitation whisky that in this ruling the president recalled the decisions of President Roosevelt, Attorney General Bonaparte, Solicitor General Bowers and seven federal courts. Seven Times Sustained. "Finding themselves unable to sway the Roosevelt administration in spite of the efforts in their behalf of Secretary Wilson, the whisky poisoners went into the courts. Seven times the Roosevelt ruling was sustained, as follows: "Aug. 24, 1908, in federal court at Cincinnati. "Aug. 27, 1908, in same court, strong supplemental opinion refusing a rehearing "The Roosevelt court for southern Illinois, later in the same year, completely sustained the Roosevelt ruling "Feb. 4, 1909, United States Circuit Judge Cochran, at Richmond, specifically ruled that the stuff which Roosevelt had ordered to be labeled as imitation whisky was exactly that. "Feb. 4, 1909, the court of appeals for the District of Columbia broadly sustained the Roosevelt ruling. "July 7, 1908, the United States district court for western New York completely sustained the Roosevelt rulings. "The supreme court of the District of Columbia, by decree in a case, United States versus four barrels of liquid porting whisky, held that the contents was an imitation of whisky. "Oct. 28, 1908, federal court at Baltimore broadly sustained the Roosevelt ruling that imitation whisky was imitation whisky, and must be so labeled. Alphonso Taft's Opinion. "What the Consumers' league failed to cite, however, was that President Taft in that one ruling not only recalled seven federal court decisions, but also another which, while it did not emanate from a court, was certainly judicial. For it was handed down by a great and honored jurist who sat in the cabinet of President Grant. This was the eight decision recalled: "Alcohol and whisky are, unquestionably, different articles in contemplation of law, as they are in fact, having different quantities and different opinions of President Taft's general court ruling section 3449 of internal revenue laws, see Internal Revenue Record, Aug 21, 1876, volume 22.) "Just what process of reasoning the president employs to determine positively that he has the right to recall seven court decisions with a single signature, while the recall of one by the sober judgment of millions of citizens in a state would destroy our fundamental national liberties, we are unable to understand, except by remembering that striking portrait drawn by the lamented Dolliver of the amiable person in the White House 'entirely surrounded by men who know exactly what they want.'" Damrosch Paya High Tribute to its Originality and Beauty. 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 inimitable, 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 aesthetic beauty, who dare deny their wider future possibilities in the great work of liberation of mind and soul which is now going on?

TAFT'S RECORD ON RECALL OF COURT DECISIONS NOTORIOUS WHISKY RULING Reconcilied His Conscience to the Promulgation of a Presidential Order Legalizing Every Demand of the Makers of Imitation Whisky—He "Recalled" Seven Federal Court Decisions to Accommodate the Opponents of Roosevelt and Dr. Wiley. Now that Mr. Taft is so violent in his opposition to any proposal to permit the people of a state to assert their understanding of the meaning of the constitution made by them when that meaning has been perverted by a judicial ruling, it is well to examine his past record in this particular. Recorded facts prove that President Taft is not opposed to the "recall of decisions" of the federal courts when the recall is made by "a representative part of the people," even though that part consists of one of 100,000,000 Americans. Here is an "expose" especially in interesting at this time. It appears in the editorial columns of the Philadelphia North American: "Long before Theodore Roosevelt upheld the hands of Harvey Wiley and forced the passage of the pure food law there had been notorious frauds in the making, marking and branding of distilled liquors. But the question seemed pretty well settled by the upholding of the explicit provisions of the national pure food law in the rulings of Dr. Wiley, sustained by repeated messages of President Roosevelt, opinions of Attorney General Bonaparte and decisions of different federal courts. Merely Common Sense. "The question was simply one of common sense. There was to be no prevention of or penalty for the sale of any sort of liquor. The rulings meant only that the purchaser was entitled to the privilege of learning from the label whether he was buying what he was paying for. "Undoctored whisky was to be labeled 'whisky'. A mixture of two real whiskies was to be labeled 'blend'. A mixture of a whisky with something that is not whisky was to be labeled 'compound'. A concoction that smelled and tasted like whisky, but contained no whisky, was to be in be labeled 'imitation'. "That was all there was to the provisions of the pure food law governing interstate commerce in whisky. It was such a simple, incontrovertible regulation for square dealing that every American who thought he knew along what lines the administration of William H Taft would be conducted scoffed at the idea that the question was not a closed chapter. "When the rectifiers of Cincinnati and Peoria hinted at the influence they could bring to bear upon a Cincinnati newspaper and Speaker Cannon and prophesied the discrediting and the downfall of Wiley we thought them overconfident in proclaiming that they could reopen a contest which had been won and won over and over by the people, by the state food commissioners and friends of pure food before President Roosevelt and the federal courts. "So there was wonder when there followed President Taft's executive order reopening the whisky branding question settled by Attorney General Bonaparte's successive opinions and President Roosevelt's orders giving executive effect thereto. Taft's Conscience Reconciled. "At the time of the ruling in favor of the swindlers by Solicitor General Bowers, in June, 1909, the North American said: "The real meaning of this respeced controversy, of course, is that the company to weaken, break down and nullify the pure food laws is widespread, powerful and persistent. * * * With President Taft rests the responsibility of spreading credence or giving the lie to the general boasting of the druggers of food and drink that the entire toll of Roosevelt and Willard guard the health of the people is to be obliterated before 1825 for the benefit of certain strong but not altruistic interests. "Six months' consideration resulted in President Taft's reconciling his conscience to the promulgation of a presidential decision legalizing every demand of the cheating poison makers of the Taft-Cox and Joe Cannon balli wicks. But this notorious annulment of a portion of the work of Wiley and Seven Times Sustain-d. Alphonso Taft's Opinion. AFRO-AMERICAN MUSIC WANTED. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., JULY 27, 1912. CHIEF AMONG RACE JOURNALS Story of Sixty Years' Growth of Christian Recorder. Interesting Incidents In the Life of Pioneer Religious Publication, Which Was a Power For Good In Creating Sentiment Against Slavery—Educational Work of Methodist Church. Philadelphia. — As this is perhaps the first time in the history of the race that a newspaper has reached such an age, the editor of the Christian Recorder recently celebrated the occasion by the issuing of a special edition containing largely articles from the first edition of the Christian Recorder and from eminent Negro journalists. The Christian Recorder is published by the A. M. E. church, which has been the pioneer in so many efforts for the advance of the race. The A. M. E. church established and now controls the oldest printing house managed by colored men in the world—the Book Concern of the A. M. E. church at 631 Pine street, Philadelphia. It was the A. M. E. church which established the first school for higher culture among the colored people—Wilberforce university, which recently celebrated its fifteenth anniversary. The oldest magazine now in existence was established by the A. M. E. church. This church is the pioneer in independent Negro educational institutions in the south and was first to attempt the writing and printing of its own Sunday school literature. The Christian Recorder was not, however, the first Negro journal, though it is now the oldest. The first Negro journal was established by the Rev. J. B. Russworm in 1826, but it did not last long. The A. M. E. church published the Christian Herald EDITOR R. R. WRIGHT, JR. In 1848. This had a very varied experience, but struggled on until the general conference in 1852, when its name was changed to the Christian Recorder, and to this day it has been known by the latter name. Its first editor was Rev. M. M. Clark, who was one of the best educated men of the colored race during his time. The Christian Recorder soon became one of the great forces in the life of our people, and in the abolition movement it took a prominent part. Upon its exchange list were many of the prominent religious papers of the country, and it was frequently quoted as being the authoritative paper and standing for the highest and best for the colored people. Today, although hundreds of secular papers have grown up, having a wider range and a larger constituency, yet the Christian Recorder is looked upon by all as the mother of our journalism and an influential factor in our racial life. It goes to the homes of the leading African Methodist ministers, who number over 6,000, and it holds a strong place of influence among race journals. Edited by the Best Trained Men. It is sometimes said that large popular organizations are not very careful in the selection of their leaders, selecting rather those who are given to oratory than those who are given more to thoughtful and constructive effort. But with the Christian Recorder this has not been the case. The A. M. E. church has always selected for this paper one of its best trained men. Its first editor, Dr. M. M. Clark, was one of the first Negroes to take a college course and was graduated from Jefferson college in 1835. Dr. Clark took the paper in 1852 and was its editor till 1854, when he was succeeded by Rev. (later Bishop J. P. Campbell. Editor Campbell was one of the best students of his day. He was succeeded by the Rev. Elisha Weaver, another strong, well trained member of the A. M. E. church. The first editor elected after the close of the civil war was perhaps the most brilliant the paper has ever had, the Rev. (now Bishop) Benjamin T. Tanner, who was editor from 1888 to 1884, when he founded and became editor of the A. M. E. Review, the oldest Negro magazine now in existence. NATIONAL CONVENTION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS Special to the Star. Hampton, Va., July 25, 1912.—Five hundred delegates representing eight thousand Negro Club Women have assembled at this beautiful spot, sometimes known as the "Cradle of Industrial Education." One of the most impressive speaches of welcome was delivered by Mrs. Edith Tolbert, daughter of General Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute. Prominent women from all parts of the country are in attendance. It is conceded that the State Organizations were never so well represented as at this session, and much good will be accomplished. Mrs. W. T. Francis is appointed one of the Recording Secretaries of the Convention. Much interest is shown in the matter of the next President and the friends of Mrs. Booker T. Washington are confident of success. Club Women Appeal to Governor. Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. and Mrs. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, were sent to Richmond on behalf of the Federation for the purpose of prevailing upon the Governor of Virginia to commute the death sentence passed upon a Negro girl. The Governor heard their plea with manifest interest and has granted respite of two weeks allowing opportunity for new evidence and assuring the committee that he was pleased with their coming and the interest manifested in the matter by the colored women. The delegates are sincere in their desire to uplift the race and to benefit Negro womanhood. Mrs. Valdo Turner and Miss Clara Howard have arrived at Hampton as delegates from the Adelphi Club of St. Paul. WOMEN FOR EQUAL RIGHTS. Hold Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church. An Enthusiastic Gathering. Many of both sexes gathered at Pilgrim Baptist Church last Tuesday to attend the meeting and prospective organization of a Woman's Equal Rights Club, Mrs. A. L. T. Waytes was the principal speaker. Mrs. Dr. Hurd of Minneapolis told of the history of woman, and said that they wanted all women interested in this cause, that failure is impossible, but we need the help of every woman of the U. S. white and black and we hope that you will help us. Mrs. Dr. Hall, State President, brought a message to our women. Rev. Toombs of Minneapolis also spoke. Brockton's Successful Business Man. One of the most successful dealers in real estate in Brockton, Mass., is Mr. Watt Terry, who owns a long string of houses and store buildings valued at $400,000. When he became a resident of Brockton in 1900 he went to work as a coachman WORK OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. What the Empire State Federation Has Done For Mr. Tubman. The executive committee of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs has secured St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, New York, in which to hold the fourth annual meeting of that organization for two days, beginning on Tuesday, July 2. The clubs represented in the federation have an aggregate membership of 5,000 women. Their work is educational, civic, social and philanthropic. A special feature of the work this year has been the raising of funds for the care and support of Mrs. Harriet Tubman of underground railroad fame, who resides at the Tubman home in Auburn, N. Y. The officers of the federation are Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president; Mrs. S. E. Wilkerson, vice president; Mrs. Marle Jackson, secretary; Miss Elizabeth Mickens, financial secretary; Miss Adena C. E. Minot, A. M., treasurer; Mrs. Charlotte A. Bell, chairman of the executive committee, and Mrs. M. G. Lawton, organizer. "GRATITUDE" MEANS MALIGNANT ATTACK UPON ROOSEVELT Taff's Tirade Not New to Men Who Know Him. When Seeking the Presideney In 1908 He Strove to Appear as a Stanch Progressive—Wore a Mask For Two Years—Has Now Openly Stamped Himself as a Reactionary. Washington, April. - Stung to the quick by his belated recognition of the long patent fact that the voters of the Republican party had repudiated his candidacy for renomination and are overwhelmingly in favor of the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt as their candidate for the presidency this year. Mr. Taft has at last thrown aside all restraint and carried out the threat which he has been muttering to his intimates for some weeks to speak out in public his real thoughts about the man who made him president. In Mr. Taft's tirade against Mr. Roosevelt at Springfield, Mass., there is nothing essentially new to those who have been on anything more than relations of casual intimacy with the president for some time. It is a fact known to not a few of those closely connected with the campaign of 1908 that even at that time the Taft family was displaying that peculiarly malignant temper toward Mr. Roosevelt which so often takes the place of gratitude in the hearts of those who have benefited by a great service rendered by a friend. It is a fact known to not a few persons that at times during the campaign of 1908 the talk about Mr. Roosevelt among members of the Taft family was such as to cause the great uneasiness to the managers of Mr. Taft's campaign for the presidency, lest it should become public and work serious damage to the campaign. Those familiar with the true feeling toward Mr. Roosevelt in the Taft family have been surprised that Mr. Taft has conceived for so long his real attitude toward his benefactor. From the time last fall when the strong sentiment of the country in favor of Colonel Roosevelt began to manifest itself unmistakably, there has been much talk from Taft sources about Colonel Roosevelt's ingratitude to Mr. Taft. It has been assumed by Mr. Taft's partisans that, because Colonel Roosevelt was instrumental in bringing about Mr. Taft's nomination and election to the presidency, he was therefore bound at all times, under all circumstances and at all costs, to support Mr. Taft's administration and Mr. Taft's renomination and election. That assumption is entirely unwarranted and has no logical justification. The fact is that Taft, the president, is not and never for one moment has been the Taft Mr. Roosevelt and his intimate associates knew as secretary of war and whom they supported as a candidate for the presidency. While Mr. Taft was seeking the presidency he constantly sought to appear as a stanch and true progressive. But on that November night in 1908 when the count of the votes showed that he had been elected to tife presidency, he ceased to make any effort actually to be progressive. For some time he continued to wear a mask as a progressive, but in the last two years of his presidency he has not kept up even that feeble effort to deceive the people of the country. By his constant association with the Aldriches, the Cannons and the Lorimers, by his ready submission to their influence and advice, by his active support of the measures they devised and favored; by his co-operation with them in matters of patronage, and by his unblushing attempt to coerce the real progressives through the brazen use of federal patronage, he has stamped himself openly as the reactionary which he has always been at heart. A single illustration will suffice for the demonstration of this proposition. In his speech at Cincinnati, in July, 1908, accepting the nomination for the presidency, Mr. Taft took occasion to reiterate his indorsement of Mr. Roosevelt and to enumerate some of the acts which he regarded as the distinctly beneficial achievements of his predecessor. In that speech he said: "He (Mr. Roosevelt) recommended the passage of a law, which the Republican convention has since specifically approved, restricting the future issue of stocks and bonds by interstate railways to such as may be authorized by feredal authority. He demonstrated to the people by what he said, by what he recommended to congress, and by what he did, the sincerity of his efforts to command respect for the law, and to save the country from the No. 49. dangers of a plutocratic government, toward which we were fast tending." In numerous speeches during the campaign of 1908 Mr. Taft declared his cordial support of Mr. Roosevelt's proposition to secure the enactment of a law controlling the issue of securities by interstate carriers. When he became president, he pretended to make such a law one of the paramount measures of his legislative program. He caused to be prepared, with much advertisement and publicity, a bill purporting to contain provisions aimed at such control of the issue of securities. This bill was drafted by the eminently successful corporation lawyer whom Mr. Taft had placed at the head of the department of justice. The moment that bill was read by the genuine progressives of the senate and house, they denounced its provisions to control the issue of securities as intended really to further the designs of the railroad reactionaries and the special interests whom Mr. Taft has steadily sought to please from the day he was inaugurated. After a hard fight in the house, the Taft-Wickersham provisions were stricken from the bill and a substitute provision was adopted which at least embodied a recognition of the principle of federal control over the issue of such securities, and was, therefore, a distinct step in advance. When that measure reached the senate. Mr Taft's allies and cronies there were vastly distributed by this provision. Aldrich Crane, Penrose, Gallinger and all the other representatives of the special interests in the senate at once protested against it. These were the men with whom Mr. Taft was associating intimately, with whom he was working constantly, and upon whom he was relying for support in the senate. They were the same men who had most vigorously opposed his nomination when they, like Mr. Roosevelt, believed him to be a real progressive, but already they had learn that his progressiveness was merely a mask worn for the purpose of securing the presidency. They knew now that he was as good a reactionary as any of them and they counted upon his support in defeating this provision for the control of the issue of securities by interstate carriers. They did not count in vain. With Mr. Taft's knowledge and convainance, they arranged a deal with the Democratic opposition in the senate whereby they not only struck from the bill this provision which was in accordance with the Republican platform and the many speeches of Mr. Taft's campaign, but they stopped the further efforts of the real progressives in the senate to make the railroad bill, of which this provision was a part, a genuinely effective and valuable measure. Then they inserted in the bill as a sop to the public clamor for real legislation a provision for the appointment of a commission which was to determine not the method by which the government was to exercise its right to control the issue of securities by interstate carriers, but whether or not the government had such power. The appointment of this commission was a stultification of the Republican platform and of every speech Mr. Taft had made in support of that platform. It was fair notice to the whole country that from that day forward no faith or credence could be given by the country to any declaration of any Republican platform upon which Mr. Taft might be running for office. But now, in the face of this incontrovertible fact, and of scores more of exactly similar purport and effect. Mr. Taft has the offentery to stand before a public audience and denounce Theodore Roosevelt and present himself in the attitude of the one who has the right to feel aggrieved. It is an astounding exhibition of willingness to deceive the people of the country in the effort to secure office. Negro Delegation Visits Pres. Taft. Atty W. T. Francis was a member of a committee of nine gentlemen from various parts of the country, led by Recorder of Deeds, Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson, that called on President Taft last week in the interests of the race, and says that "Mr. Taft is sincere in his good will towards the race and is unmoved in their behalf through political motives. "They will work earnestly for his re-election." VOTES FOR WOMEN. I want to vote very much, and if I could I should. Isn't it absurd that the women who have fed the babies should not be allowed to vote on measures to bring about clean milk for them because by some tradition of the prehistoric age men have done the voting? Industrial questions, such as the minimum wage, are matters of which women know quite as much as men-Jane Addams. pa ES we wae x F ae Eee , eer: r ite 5 me ER RTE oe hua Ns AR TIL Pad ahSn Dan REA EON SRM RENMEAER RGIS (ay SL EK SNP nCOEE Rane SIMO CPE SR eet RINT ON, ns er eee en Re RCI Ce Ree Gk oe ee Nan: nyt TORE RE hin aaa MER ERGY Cee NS Aaa fr Ger Woot nm a Nar SOE TA eal eee thar gr RL ee Eo ae ee ee ‘We BEG that those who send notes will Write Facts Plalnly—on One Side of the Paper—Leave a Space between each Item, and Use Com- mon Sense.

He characterized as “preposter- ous” the report that petitions would be ctroulated throughout ‘the country aeking that both President Taft and ‘be step aside. Colonel Roosevelt as- serts that he won the Republican nom- fnation, that it was stolen from him ‘and that to withdraw would be to con- done the theft. | The triumph of any candidate for the presidency other than himself, he ‘said, would mean the success of what he has termed a conspiracy of great dusiness interests, working through both the Republican and Democratic parties to eliminate him from public Ife. | CONTENTMENT. ] One contented with what he | has done stands but small | chance of becoming famous for what he will do.

Future Possibilities Pointed Out. First and foremost, of course, stands Phillis Wheatley, the poetess of the revolutionary period. Any mention of colored women as writers would be incomplete without her. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper of Maryland was one of the sweetest of our women poets. Her poem “The Burial of Moses” will rank with any similar poem of its character In the English language. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is a schoolteach- er in Washington, with the mind of a wise statesman. Her book “A Votce From the South” fs a most valuable contribution to race literature. Mrs. Josephine Heard, Charlotte Forten Grimke, Miss H. Cordelia Ray and her sister, Miss Florence Ray, are i Sl e!|hl!”lCU } an aS ie | PEERS (fw CS PPT NN K i —— \ pa wun trots @. aumen, also poets. Mrs. Heard, who is the wife of a former minister to Africa, wrote a very readable volume of poems entitled “Morning Glories.” Mrs. Grimke has written many very beau- tiful poems, one of them a master- plece, entitled “Charles Sumner.” ‘The Misses Cordelia and Florence Ray have recently published a volume of poems, which they bave dedicated to their father, the late Dr. Charles B. Ray. The wife of Dr. Harvey Johnson, Baltimore's leading Baptist clergyman, is a writer of stories suitable for Sun- day school libraries. The American Baptist Publication soctety pald her a handsome sum a few years ago for two books from her pen. Mrs. Johnson is a fine French scholar. Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, has published an interesting autobiography of her labors in Africa, England and the United Btates. “Poor Ben” fs the title of a biographical sketch of the late Bishop Arnett, from the pen of Miss Lucretia Coleman. 2 Ida B, Wells Barnett tn journalism wielded a trenchant pen twenty or thirty years ago, and her right band bas not yet lost its cunning, for she 1s now editing a weekly newspaper in Chicago as Mrs. Barnett. There used to be several other papers edited by our women. Ringwood's Magazine was an ambitious undertaking and a credit- able production. The Woman Era was edited in Boston by Mrs. Josephine | Bt. Plerre Ruffin. | ‘There are any number of careful and brilliant women correspondents, some of whom have done and are doing good work on race papers and papers pub- Ushed by white people. Miss Ida Grit- fin was for a number of years editor of a periodical devoted to the interests of the home and fashion, which circu- lated largely in the south. Mrs. Mary ic. Lawton, wife of the Rev. Dr. Wil- Mam R, Lawton, the successful pas- tor of St. James’ Presbyterian church in New York, contributes regularly to ‘4 Brooklyn daily, the Standard Union, and Mrs. Lydia C. Smith is regularly employed by the Brooklyn Dally Eagle. For eleven years Mrs, Smith has re ported the daily happenings among our People in Greater New York for the Eagle. She is secretary of the wom- fan's auxiliary board of managers of the Howard Colored Orphan asylum and vice president of the Fifty-third Street (New York) Young Women's Christian association. | | There are bright women enough in the race to have a paper all thelr own, just as their white sisters have, and it {s hoped that they will get together | and think about ft. There are enough ‘women societies of one sort and an- other to support a paper independent of any help from men, for there are even some compositors among our wo- men, as well as writers, poets and Jecturers. | Industrial and Higher Education. The difference between industrial and the higher educaion, as explained by Professor Kelly Miller, is that in- Gustrial education develops an instru: mentality and the higher education a personality. Professor Miller is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Bloward university. _WHEN PLAYING TENNIS, ee The Costume Should Be Neat and Attractive as Well as Comfortable REESE RETO Se UC eS | a ee — oo 4 ee Co. cc a . Jie ‘Tennis is increasing in popularity. Probably one reason for this is that the girl who plays golf can seldom ress the part attractively or retain her trimness long upon the links if she plays a tolerably good game. Tennis togs are distinctly fetching. The smart tennis gown may be made of one of the coarse linens that come in a doz en natural shades. It may be of pique or percale, of chambray, of lawn oF ‘even of pongee. It is cut low in the Meck and finished with a round or a sailor collar of white or some contrast- ing material. ‘The sleeves come to the elbow. The gown may be a one plece affair, but ordinarily it has a sep- arate blouse and skirt. The blouse is generally cut on peasant lines. There 4s a patent arrangement by which a fore ts set under the arm that gives Plenty of play to that member. The skirt is cut moderately short for con- venience. The gown Illustrated here was of pale blue linen trimmed with white. ‘The bodice was fastened at the left with large buttons, which were con- tinued on the panel on the front of the skirt. A sallor collar, closing in a point in front, and turned back cuffs finished the blouse. A white chip bat trimmed with plumes, a rather more elaborate chapeau than most tennis girls choose, was worn with this frock, The costume would be equally suitable for walking, boating, croquet and golf. In fact, it is a good all round outdoor dress. RIBBON BANDEAUX. These Form an Important Part of the Evening Toilet. Seldom has there been a season when ornaments for the hair have been so pretty and so odd. The picture shows a charming effect in gilt ribbon drawn over a satin band and gathered at the side to form a loop rosette.

Institution Which Cares For Many Children Makes Progress, The Howard Colored Orphan asy- Jum, now located in its new home in Kings Park, New York, has had a most successful year. It has cared for 248 children, representing thirty-two States In the Union, Besides Superin- tendent and Mrs. James H. Gordon, there are forty-Ave other employees— ‘teachers, matrons, housekeepers and other caretakers, ‘The institution ts supported by vol untary contributions from among the several churches of both white and colored people in Greater New York. ‘The board of trustees 1s also composed of members of both races. Upon the trustees largely rests the responsibility of securing funds with which to carry on the work. ‘The children are given a good ele- mentary education, as well as being taught several trades, such as carpen- try, drawing, domestic science, shoe- making, basketry, agriculture and dat- tying. Other subjects are to be added As the children show capacity to ad- vance, Vocal music 1 one of the spe- clal features of the educational work of the institution, National Negro Press Association. ‘The next annual meeting of the Na- tional Negro Press association will be held in Chicago in August one day be- fore the meeting of the National Negro Business league.

Must Hold Republican Voters In Line. There 1s no question about the Negro Wrote being divided, says the Muskogee (Okla) Cimeter. A large number of Negroes voted the Democratic ticket in the last election, and a still Inger umber now threaten to register and Yote the Democratic ticket next fall We must atop this exodus by a close organization, and the work must be started now. Extent of Colored Soldiers’ Record. ‘The war record of the colored sol- dier extends from Bunker Hill to Cu- ba and up to the ramparts to the top of San Juan bill, The late President William McKinley commissioned dur- tng the Spanish-American war some 266 colored officers, and there were more than 15,000 colored soldiers who gladly shouldered thelr muskets and went to the front in defense of the American government against the ene my in that terrible conflict, They de menned themselves well and came back bome amid the plaudits of the nation, Galan: Distaiien anak Guittieeue: This race question bobs up at the most unseemly times, and especially when folks are running for office, says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger.

"Wherever any race or group of people learn to do a common thing in an uncommon way, by putting brain, skill and conscience into labor, that race or group of people is likely to solve all the problems that surround them."—Dr. Washington. 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. 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 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 Crises. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. "SPEAK UP, IKE, AN' 'SPRESS YO'SEF'."

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. "NEGRO COLLEGE$" BY PROF. McCRORY. President of Biddle University. Rev. H. L. McCrory, of Biddle University, addressed the delegates of the National Negro Educational Congress on Friday night. He spoke on "Negro Colleges." Prof. McCrory said: "That Character and Efficiency should be the motto of the Negro race," that the college student should be as familiar with the writings of Isiah as of Shakespeare. The manhood of every race should be the highest result of any race. As to constructive education there could be no race or nation building without constructive thought, which we cannot have without we have been trained in books." Prof. McCrory thought that the Congress should adopt resolutions to standardize colleges. As to professional requirements, he advocated no limited form of Education. Many of our prominent Educators norrow down to the education advocated in their respective schools. He does not advocate the industrial training to the exclusion of the intellectual, or vice versa, but both are very necessary. Negro Colleges should be standardized. Many are colleges in name only. Our schools should not be called colleges unless they measure up to the standard set as to the curriculli and faculties. Rev. McCrory filled the pulpit of several Presbyterian churches during his visit. His dignified bearing and sound judgement commanded the respect and attention of all, and he was in every way the leading educational character of the Congress, and a credit to his Alma Mater, Biddle University of which he is now President. 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 TWIN CITY STAR A newspaper isn't simply a hare chronicle of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twina 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? SHOULD BE READ BY EVERY NEGRO. The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand from all parts of the United States and many portions of the Old World for accurate and concise information in regard to the history, progress and present status of the Negro Roce. It is based on a large extent on the inquiries that have come to the Institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head. Among the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911," "The Economic Progress of the Negro," "The Negro in the Religious Field," Negro Education," "Negro Soldiers and Heroes," "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro Banks, Negro Towns, Business Leagues, Hospitals, Newspapers, and National and Fraternal Organizations. There are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book which is bound in paper has 229 pages. The information is aranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years a price of 25c has been placed upon it, postage 5c. A considerable reduction will be made to persons desiring ten copies or more. WRITE TODAY. ADDRESS, NEGRO YEAR BOOK COMPANY, TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA. Mrs. Booker T. Washington may be elected President of the National Federation of Afro-American Clubs at the coming Annual Convention at Hampton, Va. Dr. Washington received his educational training at Hampton Inst. and Hampton, Va., may be the city where Mrs. Washington may receive the highest position of honor in the gift of the Afro-American Women. Let us hope so. We are often told by non-subscribers when they want free insertions, what inducements they get from the Big White Dallies, and we are glad of the information. Do you get a year's subscription free as a contribution? Are you stung? The items from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star. FUNDS FOR TUSKEEGE. Mrs. Francis, President of the Minnesota Women's Federation desires to call attention to the fact that special effort is being made on behalf of Tuskegee Institute to raise finance through popular subscription. Very little has been done by our people in this section of the country. Contributions of one dollar or more will be thankfully accepted. It is urged that members of the Federation and all others who desire to contribute to so worthy a cause in Minnesota will forward one dollar or more to Rev. H. P. Jones, Pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, who will recipie for the same and forward it to Tuskegee. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE. Everything for Women's Wear—Popular Prices Where Fashion Reigns Pearces 403-405-407 NICOLLET.

Dr. Washington received his educational training at Hampton Inst. and Hampton, Va. may be the city where Mrs. Washington may receive the highest position of honor in the gift of the Afro-American Women. Let us hope so. We are often told by non-subscribers - when they want free insertions, what inducements they get from the Big White Dailies, and we are glad of the information. Do you get a year's subscription free as a contribution? Are you stung? The items from the classes, make the news of the masses. Read the Twin City Star. FUNDS FOR TUSKEEGE. Mrs. Francis, President of the Minnesota Women's Federation desires to call attention to the fact that special effort is being made on behalf of Tuskeegee Institute to raise finance through popular subscription. Very little has been done by our people in this section of the country. Contributions of one dollar or more will be thankfully accepted. It is urged that members of the Federation and all others who desire to contribute to so worthy a cause in Minnesota will forward one dollar or more to Rev. H. P. Jones, Pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, who will recieve for the same and forward it to Tuskeegee. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE.
