Raymond Robins of Illinois pledged a 100,000 majority for the national ticket in Illinois and Gifford Pinchot predicted a 300,000 majority for Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Johnson in his home state, Pennsylvania. These statements were cheered to the echo. The party formally enristened itself the Progressive party, leaving out the prefix "national," by which heretofore it has been known, but provision was made for the recognition of "real" Progressives in any of the states by whatever name they should be locally designated because of state laws. NOT A SINGLE ROLL CALL The convention adjourned with the delegates singing the doxology in lusty voices. During the three days it was in session there was not a single roll call nor a ballot taken. The delegates asked no such formalities, either in placing their candidates in nomination or in voting for them. There was no voice of opposition either to Colonel Roosevelt or Governor Johnson. The delay in nominating them was due to the large number of seconding speeches. As has always been the case in national political conventions the bulk of the work was carried on in the committees. The only semblance of a conflict of opinion on the floor was a brief debate as to whether or not an hour's recess should be taken. The point was not material, but, as one delegate expressed it, "We just had to fight about something to make it a regular convention." There was sharp discussion, however, in several of the committee meetings and no little difficulty in agreeing upon the platform as finally adopted. Colonel Roosevelt worked with the subcommittee in charge of the platform, going over their work of the two previous days and nights and vigorously helping to mold the draft which at last proved acceptable to him. The platform did not take up the negro question.

FOUR WOMEN MEMBERS GO ON NATIONAL COMMITTEE Candidates Appear Before Delegates and Declare Willingness to Accept. Chicago, Aug. 8.—Singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," the delegates to the first national convention of the new Progressive party proclaimed Theodore Roosevelt of New York as their candidate for president and Governor Hiram W. Johnson of California as their choice for vice president. Marking a new departure in the proceedings of national conventions the two candidates immediately were informally notified of their nomination and in the midst of deafening cheers appeared before the delegates to voice their acceptance and to pledge their best efforts to the coming campaign. For several long hours the big throng in the Coliseum listened to a flow or oratory in nominating and seconding speeches, in which the dom- OR BALLOT WAS TAKEN MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., AUGUST 10, 1912. of F. R. Gleed of New York, a negro. Gleed declared that the negroes had faith in the new party; faith that it would do all in its power to right the wrongs of the race. "We stand by the platform," he said. "We stand by Colonel Roosevelt's letter; we stand by his speech. And as we stood by him at San Juan Hill so we will stand by you in November and fight for victory." Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, was among those who seconded Colonel Roosevelt and she was enthusiastically greeted. The new party formally placed itself on record as favoring equal suffrage and further recognized the woman suffrage movement by providing for four women members at large on the national committee. The rules were amended in several particulars. The name suggested, "The Progressive party," was not changed, provisions being made, however, to recognize delegates from states where the party name had been prompted by opponents of the new party. This situation exists in Pennsylvania, where the Roosevelt followers were compelled to adopt the name "Washington party." The basis of the representation was changed to provide one delegates from each congressional district for each 5,100 votes cast for the party at the previous election, provided no state should have less than one delegate for each representative and United States senator. COLONEL IN HIGH SPIRITS Plunges Into What He Thinks Will Be Hardest Campaign. Chicago, Aug. 8.—With his task as plot of the convention ended Colonel Roosevelt plunged at once into what he expects to be the hardest campaign of his career. He was in high spirits and said jubilantly that everything had turned out just right. "We've got a great platform. Everything is fine, by George," he ex- claimed. The colonel took dinner with Governor Johnson and Mrs. Roosevelt and went over with his running mate the general lines along which the fight is to be made.

PLATFORM ASKS MANY REFORMS Advocates Restriction of the Power of the Courts and Pledges Judicial Reform; Declares Against Child Labour and Urges Minimum Wage Scale for Women; Demands National Regulation of Interstate Corporations and Favors Protective Tariff. Chicago, Aug. 8.—A summary of the provisions in the Progressive party platform follows: "We of the Progressive party dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the duty laid upon us by our fathers to maintain that government of the people, by the people and for the people whose foundation they laid." "The old parties have become the tools of corrupt interests, which use them impartially to serve their selfish purposes. The new party offers itself as an instrument of the people to sweep away old abuses and build a new and nobler commonwealth." It declares for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national officers and candidates for the presidency, for the popular election of United States senators and urges on the states the use of the short ballot "with responsibility to the people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall." Pledges the party to provide "a more easy and expeditious method of amending the federal Constitution." Advocates national jurisdiction of problems which have expanded beyond reach of individual states. Opposes participation by federal appointees in state or national conventions. "Such restrictions of the power of the courts as shall leave to the people the ultimate authority to determine fundamental question of social welfare and public policy." Aims Blow at Injunctions. Pledges judicial reform, believing "that the issuance of injunctions in labor disputes should be prohibited when such injunctions would not apply where no labor disputes existed." Declares against child labor, for a minimum wage scale for women, for prevention of industrial accidents, safeguards for health of employees, publicity as to wages, an eight-hour workday and establishment of a federal department of labor. Urges re-establishment of country life commission and promotion of the welfare of farmers. Pledges the party to a full and immediate inquiry and to immediate action to deal with the high cost of living. Favors a single national health service. Demands national regulations of interstate corporations and urges the "establishment of a federal commission to supervise interstate industrial corporations," pledges party to enactment of a patent law that will prevent monopolies, favors legislation giving interstate commerce commission power to value property of railroads and demands abolition of the commerce court. Demands methods of issuing currency notes through private agencies and urges control thereof by the government alone and opposes the Aldrich currency bill. Favors government co-operation with manufacturers and producers in extending foreign commerce. Gendemns Exploitation and Waste. Declares for prompt development of all natural resources, condemning exploitation, waste and monopolization. Declares for good roads, national highways and extension of rural free delivery; immediate development of natural resources of Alaska and promises to that territory local self-government. Pledges party to immediate preparation of plan to develop rivers of the country, especially the Mississippi and tributaries, without delay. Demands that the Panama canal shall be so operated as to insure sea competition with transcontinental railroads and urges that American railroad controlled ships be denied the use of the canal. Expresses belief in a protective tariff which shall equalize conditions of competition between the United States and foreign countries for all classes; demands tariff revision because the present tariff is unjust to the people of the United States and pledges party to the establishment of a nonpartisan, scientific tariff commission. Condemns Payne-Aldrich bill and the Democratic party's tariff policy as "destructive of the protective system." Demands immediate repeal of the Canadian reciprocity act; favors inheritance and income taxes; favors international agreement for limitation of naval forces and the construction of two battleships a year pending such agreement; favors governmental action in behalf of immigrants; a wise and just policy of pensions of old soldiers and sailors and immediate creation of a parcels post. ECHOES FROM THE HAMPTON INSTITUTE CONFERENCE Prominent Educators Bring Hopeful Message From Rural Districts. Hampton, Va.—The sixteenth annual Hampton Institute conference recently held in this town was attended by educators and workers along other special lines of racial uplift from many sections. The information received from the various speakers will go far toward bringing about better conditions in rural life if properly used. Addresses were made by industrial supervisors in rural schools of Virginia. Jackson Davis, supervisor of rural elementary schools in Virginia, outlined the work of the supervising teachers. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States bureau of education told the story of Negro progress revealed by the census of 1910. The figures show that the colored farmers of the south cultivate 100,000,000 acres. The buildings on these farms are worth almost a billion dollars. Negro farms have increased 20 per cent and the population 10 per cent. White farms have increased 18 per cent, white population 24 per cent. The Negro death rate has been reduced during the last decade from 29 to 24 per thousand. Negroes in the United States increased at the rate of 113 per cent. This rate is equal to that of European countries securing increases by birth over deaths. Negro illiteracy has decreased from 44 per cent to 30. In Virginia the reduction has been from 44.6 to 30 per cent. In 1910 67 per cent of all colored farmers in Virginia owned their farms. Colored owners in Georgia increased 38 per cent; farms owned by colored men increased from 82,000 to 122,000. J. M. Gandy, Petersburg, Va., spoke on needs of Negro rural life in Virginia. Robert R. Moton, commandant of Hampton institute, spoke on the "Negro Organization Society," founded for the improvement of the Negro conditions through state wide co-operation. E. L. Snyder of the Tuskegee institute discussed the problem of feeding students economically. M. W. Reddick, Americus, Ga., discussed methods of raising money for schools. Round tables dealing with problems of health and farm life were conducted by Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va., and Charles K. Graham of Hampton institute. HIRAM H. STARR DIES AT 85 Wealthy Western Pioneer Leaves Es- tate As Backing To Washington It is reported that Hiram H. Starr, a wealthy western pioneer, died recently, leaving all of his estate to Dr. Booker T. Washington, to be used for educational purposes in connection with the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Mr. Starr resided in Falls City, Ore., and was a member of the Free Methodist Episcopal church. He was never married and was eighty-five years of age. A nephew in Maricopa, Cal., is said to be the only surviving relative. Henry Lincoln Johnson's New Client. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds at Washington, has been elected attorney general of the National Negro Independent Political league. He will have charge of the league's work in moving against race proscriptive measures, as well as the drafting of legislation for the amelioration of prejudiced conditions. Mr. Johnson is an alumnus of Atlanta university and the law school of the University of Michigan. Prowess of Champion Jack Johnson. The Houston (Tex.) Freeman says: Jack Johnson continues to toy with all the white hopes, just as a cat does with a mouse. Patting them on the back, grinning in their faces, punching and jabbing them when and where he pleases—this is certainly too much Johnson for the would be heavyweight champions of the world. Privileges of Home Open to All. The St. David's Fresh Air home in White Plains, N. Y., is one of the best equipped institutions of its kind in the north. It was founded by the Rev. E. G. Clifton, rector of St. David's church, New York city, about ten years ago. The privileges of the home are open to all without regard to color or creed. No. 51. AFRICAN TIMES ON THE PROBLEM It Urges Closer Co-operation Among Darker Races. RESULT OF RACES CONGRESS. Militant Journal Edited in London by Duse Mohamed Makes Significant Call to Colored Americans For Mutual Affiliation—Affords Channel For International Exchange of Ideas. The African Times and Orient Review, which is an outgrowth of the universal races congress which met in London in 1911, is a monthly journal devoted to the colored races of the world. It is a thirty-five page magazine, edited with great ability. Duse Mohamed, a Negro born in Egypt and educated in England, is its editor. The Review is to be the mouthpiece of the dark and colored races throughout the world. In the foreword it says, "We feel that for lack of understanding the African and oriental have produced nonappreciation, and nonappreciation has unleashed the hydra headed monster of derision, contempt and repression." Laudable ambitions have but to be voiced to be appreciated, and that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin has only to be brought into operation to establish that bond of universal brotherhood among white, yellow, brown and black. In a "Word to Our Brothers" it says: "As for you, the black race, the brown race and the yellow race, this is your own journal. The more humble you are the more need you have of us and the more readily shall we extend our sympathy and advice. We want to hear from you, the young and budding Sun Yet Suns. "We call on men like Blyden, the Conrad Reeveses, the embryo Frederick Douglases and Paul Laurence Dunbars. If you have anything to say for the good of your race let us hear it. * * * Your day is coming. Your place in the sun has been and will come again. As darkness overtook you for a space, it must also overtake Europe. The future of Africa, the future of India, will not be decided in the chanceries of Europe, but upon the hills of India and the plains of Africa. "See that your loins are well girded and that you have your staff firmly in your hand when you once more take your place in the sun." The Review is a decided revelation editorially and typographically, while its contributed articles are of a highly meritorious character. It is to be hoped that American Negroes who want to know what is taking place in the darker world and what progress their race is making will subscribe to this excellent magazine. The significance of the Review need not be stated. It must be apparent that the necessity which called it into being is vital to the interests of those whose spokesman it is and that the darker races are beginning to rouse from their lethargy and to draw nearer to one another. Sample copies of the review may be had by addressing the publication of face, 131 Flinsbury pavement, London, E. C. Our poets and writers have here an opportunity to win International fame, and we hope that many will accept the Review's generous invitation to let it hear from them. We think the subscription price is $1 per year. It is worth every penny of it. EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Next Annual Meeting Will Be Held at Claremont, Va. The National Negro Educational association will hold its annual meeting in 1913 at Claremont, Va. The sessions will be held in the new Lincoln Memorial hall, which was dedicated at the recent commencement of the Temperance Industrial and Collegiate institute, of which Lincoln hall is an addition.

Colonel Roosevelt's announcement that the control of the third party in the south will be in the hands of the white people is resented by the colored people of Minneapolis, according to Rev. T. J. Carter, pastor of Bethesda Baptist church. "This statement will not attract the colored people to the new party," declared Mr. Carter today. "It is possible that Mr. Roosevelt does not want us. His attitude on this matter has provoked much discussion among the colored people and while they are not at all disturbed they certainly do not admire such sentiments from a presidential candidate. I would not look for a general movement of the colored people either north or south into the new party. It is the conduct of the whites in the southern states which has kept the whole body of our race in the republican party and the intention seems to be to hold them there." "We are not surprised over Colonel Roosevelt's announcement of his position with reference to the colored voters," said William R. Morris, attorney. "Some had been expecting some utterances along that line for some time. He has not been strong with our people since the Brownsville incident and his recent course has not strengthened him. It looks as if none of the colored delegates to the Chicago convention will be recognized. "In spite of the Brownville affair Colonel Roosevelt has had quite a following among the colored people both in the north and south, but whether they still will support him I can't say. It seems rather inconsistent to extend recognition to the northern negroes, as he purposes to do, and withhold it from their southern brethren. As a matter of fact we are all from the south"—Minneapolis Journal, Aug. 5th, 1912. NEGROES' VIEWS DIFFER Statements Regarding Roosevelt's Attitude Disputed by Others of Race. To the Editor of The Journal. We, the undersigned, beg leave to reply to the article in your columns of Aug. 5, under caption, "Roosevelt's Attitude Resented by Local Leaders of Race." In the support of the progressive principles as advocated by ex-President Roosevelt, we do hereby refute the statements purported to be made by Rev. T. J. Carter, and Attorney W. R. Morris, admitting there is a destructive element among the Negroes, as well as other races, who use any party as a means to obtain consideration, by corrupt practices, to the detriment of the constructive element. There are in Minnesota, a far greater number of Negro supporters and admirers of Roosevelt, who have at all times supported the progressive cause, and especially since Mr. Roosevelt's statement relative to the Brownsville affair during his Ohio campaign, and in his convention speech of yesterday, pertaining to the character and standing of the negro delegates of West Virginia, as "being the peers of any white delegate in the convention." The Minnesota delegation now in Chicago, realize the interest and activity of the Negro supporters of Roosevelt, and the principles advocated. We are proud to see that they have gone on record, as giving the Negro a square deal, regardless of sectional conditions, and by the action of provisional committee, in their deliberation, debarring both white and black delegates from Florida, shows plainly that the national progressive party, is not a white man's party. The fair and liberal thinking Negroes of this country, desire the leadership of efficient white men, as in the days of Lincoln and Grant, under which we hope to develop such leaders as Douglass, Langston and Bruce. With regrets we refute the statements of Rev. Carter and Attorney Morris. Respectfully. D. E. Beasley, St. Paul Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 6, 1912. Rev. Carter and Atty. Morris gave their views on the Negroes' attitude to Roosevelt and vice versa in the Minneapolis Journal of Aug. 5. They may have spoken for themselves but did not voice the sentiments of the Negroes of any locality. Our representative Negroes should not hasten to publicity until they have given their subject matter all due consideration. These gentlemen do not mix with the general public and only follow the routine of their environment, and their remarks were made after reading the head line editorials of predjudiced or subsidized newspapers. Rev. Carter has nothing to lose, but Atty. Morris is a candidate for Probate Judge at the coming election on a non-partisan ticket; also he is the only Negro member of the Taft Local Committee, (appointed by W. H. Eustis) and therefore against the Roosevelt movement and for the Republican machine, both state and national. Atty. Morris in his interview, condemned Roosevelt and revived the Brownville incident, and we would like to know if Atty. Morris expects to be elected without the support of the National Progressives, or does he rely on the Taft machine to pull him through? He may win as a Progressive, but has no chance as a standpatter.

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. #HERE TO TRADE.

The committee on resolutions at the recent meeting of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held in Jersey City, N. J., made the following report, which was adopted: We, the resolutions committee of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, assembled in Jersey City, N. J., in the Lafayette Presbyterian church, beg to submit for your consideration and adoption the following resolutions: Resolved, That we unanimously express our gratitude to the Entertaining club, the Afro-American Women's Industrial league, also to the Art club, which so ably assisted them, and to the mayor of the city for his cordial words of welcome; also to the pastor and members of the Lafayette Presbyterian church. Resolved, That we extend our hearty thanks to the little pages and to all those who faithfully served on the program and that we congratulate the race for the Johnsonville school district that have come from our schools and colleges this year. We commend the parents of these graduates for their sacrifice and perseverance, thereby making it possible for these graduates to reach the desired goal. We are ready to increase of lynchings and the continued apathy of the United States government in not enforcing the constitution even when women and children are being lynched. As it is known the United States government does anything it deems best to prevent lynchings, we feel act 6 and others similar of the constitution make it possible for the government to prevent lynchings without state legislation. That we extend to the National Association For the Advancement of Women, thanks for great work in protecting and advancing the rights of our people. As we carefully look with microscopic eyes over the platforms of the two great political parties in our country we see no difference. We beg every woman here and at home connected with this body to pray, labor and work, above all, urging them to stand united in the solving of our own problem. Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, chairman; Mrs. Elizabeth A. Kickens, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, secretary.

Former Kentuckian Erects Magnificent $100,000 Casino in New York. By FRANKLIN P. JOHNSON. New York.—With the opening of the $100,000 Young's casino in West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, the largest and most costly building of its kind owned by the race in the east, our people are sejolicing. For years it has been sadly told of New York that there was not a hall owned by the colored people in Greater New York where a convention or other large gathering could be conveniently held. The actual placing at the hands of the colored people of this city of the much needed hall for the accommodation of their various gatherings is due to the foresight and enterprise of Gliben L. Young. Gilbeon L. Young is a native of Kentucky, but has been in the east for the past seventeen years. He has conducted business places in several New England cities and for the past seven years has conducted a restaurant at 180 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, this city. He has a large circle of friends in various sections of the country. The structure is of colonial design, built of brick with Indiana limestone trimmings. It runs eighty-five feet along Park avenue and 125 feet along One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. It is fireproof, heated by steam and lighted by electricity. A banquet hall to seat 1,200 persons takes up the basement. The main floor, with gallery, will seat 2,500 persons. A roof garden, on which light vaudeville will be a feature, is also one of the attractions. Two fifteen feet courts are at the northern and western ends of the structure. Though the casino was only formally opened the latter part of July, the various organizations have already booked dates that will keep the hall open nightly until late in the winter. Alexander Rogers, the manager, is well known in the theatrical world, having spent ten years with the old Williams and Walker company. He has written a number of the most popular songs of the day. NEW YORK PHILANTHROPIST LEAVES MANY BEQUESTS Afro-Americans Share Generously by Will of Mrs. Ellen Collins. In her will, which was filed for probate in the surrogate's court in New York, Mrs. Ellen Collins left to Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., $5,000 each. The estate is said to be valued at $185,000. Mrs. Collins was much interested in the education of Afro-Americans. Her death occurred in New York the latter part of July. Among the institutions remembered in the will of the deceased are the New York Colored mission, $5,000; the New York yearly meeting of the Society of Friends, over $10,000, and several thousand to the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial institute, Snow Hill, Ala. The other institutions which receive legacies are the Lincoln hospital and home and New York Bible society, $1,000 each; American Seamen's Friend society and Peace Society of New York, $1,500 each, and American endowment fund of Lebanon Hospital For the Insane, Syria, Asia, the sum of $5,000. MISS SIMMONS' ESTATE. Relatives and Many Institutions Benefit by Will of Wealthy Woman. It has been learned upon good authority that the late Miss Catherine Simmons of Middletown, Conn., in her will left $500 to St. Monica's Home For Sick Colored Women and Children, $500 to the Home For Aged Colored Women, $500 to St. Augustine's church and $500 to Woodlawn cemetery, in Everett, Mass. The three institutions above mentioned are in Boston. Near relatives of the deceased were also remembered. Miss Simmons was cared for by friends in Boston, with whom she spent her last days. The first report concerning the will of the deceased was to the effect that all of her estate, valued at $10,000, had been left to ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks of Connecticut, to be disposed of as he saw fit. Holy Trinity Episcopal church, in Middletown, Conn., where Miss Simmons lived for many years, was given $500. The rest of the estate is left in trust with the Hon. Frank B. Weeks of Middletown, with the request that the income be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Normal School Plans to Aid Students. The Clifton Forge (Va.) Normal and Industrial institute recently closed a most successful school year. In order to give employment to students who are not able to pay all of their expenses in cash the trustees have decided to open a steam laundry. The estimated cost of the plant is $800. Rev. D. W. Hill, president of the school, is spending his vacation in the north raising money for the laundry project. Du Bois' Name Used Without Authority Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bols, editor of the Crisis Magazine in New York, declares that in no sense was he a candidate for the presidency of Howard university. He says that the use of his name was unauthorized and that he would not have accepted the position in the improbable event of its having been offered him. MRS. WASHINGTON ELECTED PRESIDENT.

Neighbors, secretary Chicago Negro Business league, 3517 State street, Chicago, of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be reserved. Last year nearly every state in the Union was represented at the annual meeting held in Little Rock Officers of the organization are now earnestly at work to secure at Chicago an even larger gathering. The Little Rock meeting set a high standard in point of attendance, attractiveness of program and hospitality of its citizens, but the Chicago league is striving to have the coming meeting surpass all previous ones. The Chicago chamber of commerce joined with the local Negro Business league in inviting the national organization to meet in Chicago and is co-operating to welcome and entertain those who may at tend. Very low reduced rates will be offered from all parts of the country and especially from the south to the meeting. Local leagues are urged to elect delegates at once. Experience has shown that the railroad authorities in every section of the country are willing to arrange for special Pullman or tourist car parties. It is earnestly desired that plans for such parties be arranged for as early as practicable. Some of the strongest men and women of the race will be present and speak. These gatherings annually bring together a group of hopeful, energetic, aspiring and successful men and women who are doing their part of the world's work. Sessions of the following affiliated organizations will be held at the same time: The National Negro Bankers' association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' association, the National Negro Press association and the National Negro Bar association—a group of the strongest organizations in the country among the Negro people.

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. NEGRO LABORERS vs. VAGRANCY Many Negro laborers are employed on the new Post Office Building, and it is probable that more could obtain employment, if they would apply. There is no excuse for vagrancy in Minneapolis among our people. There are contractors who prefer Negro labor on asphalt pavements, buildings, etc., and it is up to the Police Dept., to see that all Negroes are employed. Vags must "get busy."

The national Progressive party, committed to the principle of government by a self-controlled democracy expressing its will through representatives of the people pledges itself to secure such alterations in the fundamental law of the several states and of the United States as shall insure the representative character of the government. In particular this party declares for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national officers, for nation-wide preferential primaries for candidates for the presidency, for the direct election of United States senators by the people; and we urge on the states the policy of the short ballot with responsibility to the people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall. This is the plank in the platform condemning States' Rights, and the revival of the Civil Rights Bill, which the Republicans never passed. NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The National Negro Press Assn., will meet in Chicago on Aug. 22, next. This is expected to be a grand gathering of the Negro Editors and Publishers and Correspondents. There are many things that should demand their attention. Advertising rates should be standardized, Plagiarism should be strictly condemned. Many Negro Editors fill their pages with fake advertisements, and get little pay for it and "clip" from their exchanges without giving credit for it. There should be some unity and classification among Negro Editors. This is essential. There is a difference between those who use the pen and others who use the paste-pot. The fourth estate will decide these questions and the Star will be represented by its Editor. There is no doubt that the meeting will be one of great benefit to all who attend. THE NEGRO'S DUTY. "What the Negro must do is to contend for his rights in the best spirit without losing his head and he will find the genuine white people the world over respecting them. First, let him respect himself and others will respect him."—(Charleston, S. C. Messenger.) SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. Minnesota Will Take Stump for Roosevelt. P. Photo by American Press Association. WILL SUPPORT ROOSEVELT Senator Clapp of Minnesota intends Taking the Stump. Washington, Aug. 8.—Senator Clapp of Minnesota made emphatic denial of a report that he was losing enthusiasm for the Progressive party movement. Such, a report was in circulation around the Capitol. It was based on the failure of Mr. Clapp to take part in the fight in Kansas in which the Roosevelt electors were triumphant. "I regretted inability to go to Kansas and take part in the contest in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt," said Senator Clapp. "There were matters pending in the senate that required my attention and I could not got away. As soon as the senate adjourns I shall go on the stump in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt. That's the best answer I can give." COLONEL PRAISES CONVENTION WORK Addresses Enthusiastic Crowd In His Chicago Hotel. Chicago, Aug. 8.—Colonel Roosevelt addressed an enthusiastic crowd of men and women delegates in the main hall of his hotel. "I shall not try to make any speech," he said, "except to say that I feel that the convention which has just closed stands unique among conventions. I am sure that no body of men and women for any purpose ever assembled with a more serious realization of the farreaching importance of their work than the men and women who were gathered in the Coliseum during the last three days. "In the old conventions words were used to conceal and not to reveal the thought. In our convention men spoke only as they intended to act. We also avoided one of the besetting sins of reformers, in that we did not promise too much. I have no use for the individual who promises what he cannot perform. "We do not promise the millennium, but we do intend to try and make this country more decent and to give every man and woman a better chance to lead their lives as they should." When Colonel Roosevelt had finished speaking the crowd shouted for Governor Johnson. He was escorted to the balcony and spoke briefly. --- Freeman Puts the Race on Guard. Watch and pray during these political times. Can't tell what the future has in store for the race, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Prepare for acceptable citizenship. Depopulate the jails and workhouse and other places of confinement. 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. 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? READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. TWIN CITY STAR A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicle of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twirl City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it? The Negro editor has to make much of the news he writes. The social clubs, the church, the Fraternal organizations, all must feel his guiding hand. He is expected to be in everything and run errands for everyone; send out bills for subscription and have them ignored; do all the lying for harmony's sake, get his dog kicked around, and hold the sack. He is guide, philosopher and friend to those that are in trouble; mentor and admonister to those that are about to get into trouble. The preacher, the would-be-statesman, the social olimber, the dear girls, the wayward boys; he must share all their troubles, he is the confessor, the Negro boomer, and the black goat, the door mat, the rock of refuge, the lacky boy, and the vicarious sacrifice. A Negro editor is the only creature in the wide animal kingdom that needs the wings of a dove, the strength of a lion, the protective odor of a skunk, the smooth crawling belly of the worm of the dust, and the aspirations of a God.—The Seattle Searchlight. WERE NEGROES REPRESENTED? WERE NEGROES REPRESENTED Many have said that the Minnesota Negroes were not represented at Chicago. The Star brands this as a lie. They were not represented by Negroes. The Editor of the Star has been in touch with the political situation and has been a delegate to both State Conventions as a Roosevelt delegate. He does not say that he could have gone to Chicago as a Delegate, but he could have gone as a Negro Progressive from this State, upon invitation by Messrs. Halbert, Collins and Purdy. The Editor of the Star is not a self-appointed leader, and has not pledged the votes of any Negro—but he conferred with some of the Minnesota Delegates; the above named gentlemen, and they promised to protect the interests of the Negro. The platform of the Progressive Party and the initiative of the Minnesota delegation speaks for itself—We regret that we were unable to attend the convention, but we would have it known that the interests of the Negro voter of the South is the question of vital importance to the Negro of the North, and we are glad to sacrifice these empty honors as Convention mascots and the old Republican inducements, etc., and whenever possible show our friends among the white men in the North that we are our brother's keeper, and that his cause is ours. When the Negro of the Northwest is interested in himself, when he will register, when he will vote, when he will stop saying that "I'm not in politics" he will be able to demand the respect of leaders of all political parties, thereby securing friends among those who are able to dictate to the personnel of their respective parties, and thus indirectly securing better conditions in the South. The Negro of Minnesota was well represented in the National Progressive Party and will be represented in Minnesota. Just how well, it remains for him to demand by his sound judgement and his ballot. GUARD YOUR ENTHUSIASM. The Negro voters are interested in the coming election, and they belong to all parties. It is hoped that they will not be so deeply interested that they will make personal attacks against those of their race who may oppose them. Treat each other as you do the white man. Let us give every one credit for his political views, and when the campaign is over, may there be no strained social relations on account of political differences. We can accomplish nothing under these conditions. Atty. W. R. Morris has filed for candidate for Judge of Probate Court on the non-partisan ticket.
